Hello Again

Want and Unwanted

It's been a week since I've seen Stephan, and I'm starting to relax some. Al is spread out across my bed, eating chocolate out of a 10lb heart box.

Al and I talked about Stephan after that explosive dinner last week. He was angry. I'm pretty sure it was him who burnt some of the Phoenix pacts trees. He even called Con, who was just as mad when he called me. After some time, I got them to settle down.

We can't have a war. There's no reason to risk people's lives over something that happened eight years ago. Plus I don't want to draw the attention of the council. I hear they're getting more powerful, and that's not good for anyone.

"Are you sure you don't want me to come? You know I don't mind helping out?" Al says playfully as he wiggles his eyebrows.

"Stop, Al, you know it would be weird. Plus, aren't you with Aki? I don't think he'll be ok with that."

"I don't know what you're talking about," he says, avoiding my eyes as he pops another chocolate in his mouth.

"Where did you get the heart-shaped box of chocolate from?" I ask.

"What about Finn? He was with you last year, during your heat, right?" he asks. I haven't seen him since Stephan fired him, thank the goddess.

"No, he's unstable. I had to fire him," I hope he doesn't ask too much about that.

"O, well, I tried to help," he says.

"Now, stop changing the subject. Are you or are you not dating Aki? "I asked again.

"We have not defined what we are yet, and that's all I'm saying."

"Fine, what are your plans while I'm gone?"

"I'm going to take Amelia and Aki flying."

Al is always taking Amelia flying. I love how fearless and adventurous she is.

I need to hurry to my cabin, it's about 45min away, and I can feel my heat coming. If I don't leave soon, I may take Al up on his offer, and that would be weird... Unless Aki joined us. Humm. Nope, it's still weird to even think about.

Yep, I'm going crazy; I have to get out of here.

Unlike most shifters who only have one heat a year, I come into my heat in the spring and fall due to being half-wolf and lion.

I barely make it to the cabin without having to pull over and take care of myself. It feels like what I imagine a teenage boy on one of those little blue pills would feel like.

I throw my stuff on the counter and head straight for a cold bath. I'm miles away from anyone. Only a few people know where my cabin is, So I won't have to worry about any unexpected visitors. The goddess knows I wouldn't be able to resist anyone who walked through the door.

Alessia has been all over me more than ever. I can barely turn a corner without seeing her. She's a high-ranking female in my pack, and she's attractive in a traditional sort of way. She's 5'8 curvy in all the right places, blonde hair, blue eyes, and red lips.

"Stephan, do you want to go for a run?" Alessia ask. She stands close enough I can see down her shirt. I feel nothing for her except maybe disgust.

When Alessia joined the pack six months ago, I flirted with the idea of hooking up with her and even took her on a few business meetings that I needed a date for. That's as far as it went, though. f*****g someone in the same pack usually ends messy.

"I have business to attend to," I walk away without giving her time to respond. I need to talk to Snow about the oil rig. I've given her a week of space. I wake up every day wondering what she's doing, and my wolf has been driving me crazy. Hopefully, she will see me for business purposes.

I'm stopped at the security gate.

"How can I help you today?" the guard asks.

"I'm here to see Snow."

"She's not at home."

"Do you know where I can find her?" I ask, trying not to get mad at the man doing his job.

"No," he says flatly. Before I can respond, I hear,

"Can I help you with something?" I turn around to see Jack holding a few pizzas. I'm wondering how he snuck up on me when I realized his scent is covered up.

"Why do you have your scent covered up?"

Jack doesn't answer my question; he just asks, "Are you looking for Snow?"

"Yes, I have some business to discuss with her," I say, letting the scent thing drop it's none of my business anyway.

He just looks at me for a moment. I can see the wheels turning in his head. Then a smile appears on his face.

"I was taking her some pizza. You would be doing me a big favor taking them to her, for me." He said, still smiling.

I know the Kodiak bear is up to something, but I don't care as long as I get a few minutes with Snow.

45 minutes later, I'm pulling up to a cabin in the middle of nowhere. I'm starting to think Jack played a joke on me, but I see her motorcycle, and I know she's here.

After getting no response from knocking, I check the door to find that it's unlocked. I let myself in. The cabin has a cozy feel with a small kitchen, breakfast nook. A living room with a couch full of pillows facing a large rock fireplace and a wall full of windows with a beautiful view of the forest.

As I'm taking in my surroundings, I smell the most intoxicating scent that I've ever smelled. It makes me want to drop to my knees. When I turn around to find the source.

Snow is there, in a towel, still dripping wet. I smell her heat. An unmated female shifter in heat will send any unmated male shifter into a mating frenzy.

I know why she's out here now. Her eyes are glowing. I can since her animal is close to the surface. She's watching me as If I'm prey; her control is going to snap soon.

I can feel myself losing control too. I'm throbbing painfully at this point.

I don't know how much longer I'll be able to control myself. Every fiber in my body says, mate.

"You shouldn't have come," she says in an almost animal-like voice.

"I didn't know".

She looks like she's in pain.

"I need you, now," dropping the towel she walks toward me.

"I'm not going anywhere, not this time, not ever," I say, hoping she understands.

I bend down to take her lips, and I'm instantly lost. Within mere seconds I have her bent over the couch. I know she doesn't need or want any foreplay at the moment.

"It's gonna be hard and fast," I say barely, holding control. Snow turns her head and looks at me with her ass in the air.

"Good. Do you have a condom?" she asks with a growl.

I line my head up to her already wet center.

"No need. I'm sterile," I slide in slowly, giving Snow time to adjust to my size.

I'm overwhelmed with the sheer intense lightning blast of pleasure, I feel as soon as I'm fully seethed. I've never felt anything so intense, not even with Anna.

Without a doubt, she is my mate. She moans as she tries grinding herself on me.

Giving her beautiful rounded ass a few slaps. I grab her hips and start driving into her as my life depends on it. I can smell her sweet scent all around me as she spasms on my member. I don't stop; I couldn't if I wanted to. After she reaches her peak for the second time, I feel myself grow, and it gets harder to move.

I realize what's happening; too late. I can't pull out without hurting the both of us. The head of my d**k is swollen into a knot; I let out a loud roar as I fill her womb with my seed. The feeling is overpowering. This has to be what heaven feels like.

I won't be able to move until my d**k stops erupting and the head goes down to normal. She is still vibrating from the aftershock of her last orgasm when I carefully move us to where she's sitting on top with her back leaning into my chest.

"Stephan, I thought you said you couldn't have children?" Snow whispers breathlessly as she leans her head back on my shoulder. Giving me full access to her neck where I want to mark her.

"This has never happened before. Maybe it's because you're my true mate."

"We're not true mates, Stephan; remember you severed the bond when you rejected me!" she snaps.

"I'm starting to learn you can't run away from fate. What is meant to be will be," I say.

After a few more minutes of silence, I'm able to pull out slowly.

I just set there for a moment; I can't believe everything works below the belt. For years I thought I was somehow broken and would never have children. In minutes, everything changed.

Walking into the kitchen, I see her leaning against the counter, drinking water, still very naked.

"Why are you here, Stephan?" She asks, not taking her eyes off me.

"I needed to talk to you about some business," I said as I approached her. The need to be close to her is strong.

"You said you were sterile, Stephan." She is understandably upset.

"I know, I thought I was. Anna and I tried for years." She snarls at me. Maybe it was the wrong time to bring up Anna.

"You know, I'm most likely pregnant, right."

"I know. This isn't how I wanted things to go. I mean, I would have liked us to be mated first."

"Stephan' have you forgotten about the past? Because I haven't and I'm not going to. Not even if we have a child together."

"Do you want me to go!? I don't have any condoms, and If I stay, you'll undoubtedly become pregnant if you aren't already!"

She looks at the door and takes a deep breath.

"I need you to stay. Just don't bring up mating"

Thank the goddess, It would have been torture to leave.

The lights are off in the house. The sun is shining just right through the window to highlight her breast. Not being able to help myself, I grab one in my hand and start kneading while I bend down to take the other into my mouth. It's like I've never touched breast before. She moans and starts grinding on me. She is ready for me again. I can smell it.

Wrapping her legs around my neck, I lined myself up with her entrance and plunged into her hungrily again. I can feel her claws in my back.

Her moans are bouncing off the cabin walls.

"Please, Stephan, I need more." I carefully insert my finger into her.. and take her lush mouth in a passionate kiss.

She's purring in her sleep beside me with me still inside her. I can sense her heat coming to an end, and I can also sense that she's pregnant.

Laying my hand on her smooth stomach, I feel whole for the first time. I can't wait to see her grow with my child. I haven't let myself imagine this in several years. Now that it truly happened, it feels surreal.

The last three days, we have f****d everywhere imaginable in and outside the cabin. There's not a place I would rather be right now.

We haven't talked much about anything. I'd mate Snow right now if I thought she would let me, but I know she hasn't forgiven me yet.

I slowly slip out as a small moan escapes her beautiful mouth.

I wake up to the shower running. The last three days have been crazy, and I need coffee. After the second time we did it, I decided what happens in the cabin stays in the cabin. Well, except for the baby that's now growing in my stomach.

Although the last few days have felt amazing, I'm still not ready to talk to him about us, much less mate him. I don't even know how that would work with both of us being alphas of our own pack.

I hear a car pull up as I'm pouring my coffee. No one but a few people knows where I'm at.

I'm curious to see who would come out here. Stopping right outside the door. I'm horrified. There leaning against his car with a very smug look on his face is Finn.

"What do you want, and how did you find me?" I ask angrily.

"Don't be angry babe, I came to help you out," he says with way too much confidence.

"I don't need your help, Finn! Go away!" I yell, trying to get my point across. I have a feeling I'm going to have to kill him soon.

"O, babe, I know you're in heat. I can smell it from here; I got just what you need to cool you off." He says while grabbing his crotch.

Before I can respond, I hear a dangerous growl. Stephan steps out, his eyes looking deadly.

"Snow, I'm hurt. I can't believe you would cheat on me with him. You know you belong to me. We're true mates after all." Finn says with a hurt look.

He is more delusional than I ever thought.

In that exact second, Stephan has shredded his clothes, and in his spot is a massive black wolf.

Stephans wolf charges toward Finn, Who barely changes before Stephan is on him.

Stephan makes quick work of Finn's smaller red wolf. He takes Finn's front leg and throws him across the lawn, separating his leg from his body.

Aden would have loved to have seen that.

Finn never had a chance; Stephan's wolf is slowly approaching Finn, who is trying to crawl away.

I feel another fierce wave of heat come over me again. I thought this was over.

Stephan's wolf stops when I let out a little whimper I can't hold in. He looks at me and takes a few sniffs in the air. With Finn forgotten the large black wolf approaches me while licking his k-9s.

He changes partly back. Only strong alphas can do a half change.

He snarls, "Mine, only mine, always mine, my mate!"

It's as if my body has a mind of its own, I change along with him.

We are both standing on two paw-like feet that are very large and sharp, with clawed hands. Our teeth are more extended and sharper, and our pointy ears are showing too. We have patches of fur around our hands, feet, and ears. Other than all that, we are human.

He backs me up against a tree and finishes tearing what's left of my clothes from my body. Picking me up, he thrust his large throbbing c**k in me furiously. Without giving me time to adjust, he starts moving urgently.

All I can do is hang on for the ride. My body is on fire.

It's exhilarating. I can feel myself going over the edge. Even though I'm spasming all around his member, he doesn't stop.

He just pumps harder and faster than ever.

I don't think I can take anymore when peaking for the fourth time, he lets out a loud roar. Sinks his teeth into my neck and slams into me one last time. I feel all of him. It's like we're floating, and we are the only two in the world.

After we came down and my body stopped vibrating from pure bliss.

He slowly lets go of my neck and leans his forehead to mine. Looking into my eyes he says,

"I Stephan, accept you, Snow, as my true-mate."

I feel something snap into place, something that was broken a long time ago. I didn't know you could reverse a broken bond.

Apart of me wants to say it back, to finish the binding, but I can't. Stephan hurt me too badly.

Stephans searching my eyes to see if I'll say it back and when I don't, his eyes turn dark. He carefully sets me on the ground. My legs feel shaky, and I feel empty without him.

Stephan takes a few steps back.

"You know you're pregnant, right? You can't hold a grudge against a stupid kid that made a mistake years ago." he snarls.

I say nothing.

"One day Snow, you'll realize we are meant to be. You can fight it all you want. The goddess knows I did. But one day, you'll realize. We're mates. I just hope you don't take as long as I did."

After putting on a pair of pants he got from his trunk, he turns to me, "You can push me away all you want, Snow, but I'm not going anywhere."

As he's about to get in his car and leave he stops and stars at my bike. With a growl, he stomps into the house returning a moment later with the keys to the bike. As he's getting on the bike he says "The keys to the car are on the counter I'm keeping this until you have that baby." Without giving me time to argue; he speeds off in a cloud of dust.

After a long hot shower, I'm ready to face the world, or the least Gigi and the boys. They're going to smell Stephan on me and they'll know I'm pregnant within a few days there's no hiding it.

A shifter pregnancy only lasts six months. I'll start showing in a few weeks. Placing my hand on my stomach. I can't believe there is a life in there that I created.

Getting into Stephans car I realize Finn's body is gone along with his arm. I completely forgot about him as soon as Stephan put his hands on my body everything but us melted away. Finn being alive isn't good.

When I arrive home Alessia runs and jumps into my arms, I can't help but catch her. It's a reaction.

"Stephan, where have you been? I've been so worried about ." she stops in mid-sentence and sniffs me. I know what she smells, Snow, s*x, and maybe a little of Finn's blood.

Alessia steps back with a hurt look on her face and says, "How could you be with her? She's a mutt! I thought we had something."

"Don't call her a mutt!" I'm instantly angry. We have a partial bond, and she's carrying my baby.

I'm feeling a little protective and on edge at the moment.

If she doesn't accept me as her mate and complete the bond, it will fade away.

The thought of a child, my child, gives me a sense of fulfillment. It'll only take a few days before everyone in the packs knows she's pregnant, and she won't be able to hide my scent.

I wonder how they will react. It doesn't look good for an unmated alpha to have a child. Alphas from different packs having a child is unheard of and can make things complicated.

"Stephan! are you even listening to me?" I have no idea what Alessia has been saying, and I don't care.
