The Human in The Wolf's Den

Chapter 4: Breaking Barriers

"Where are the clothes?" Xander demanded as soon as Titus walked into his room. 

"Here you go Alpha." Titus emphasized the title with a bitterness that told Xander he was still not happy with him but Xander ignored him. 

"Thank you. I'll scent them quickly and then we can go." Xander started toward the bathroom to get it over with. 

"Where is Cassian?" Titus asked looking around for the small boy. 

"He's in his cage." Xander replied without a second thought as he closed the bathroom door. 

Titus didn't like the sound of the small boy being in his cage even when his mate was with him. Why couldn't his alpha see that making Cassian stay in it was wrong? Putting him there when Xander couldn't be around was one thing but to keep him there while the alpha just lounges around the room? That was terrible. 

Titus took a quick look around while Xander was busy in the bathroom. He searched for the cage and didn't see it until he rounded the corner to a larger part of the Alpha suit. Along one wall was the Alpha's bed, neatly made, and at the furthest point from the bed possible, stood a monstrous cage, the likes of which Titus had never seen. The small boy could be seen laying on his back in the cage. Titus approached the enclosure simultaneously looking for the key. He spotted the bit of mettle on the mantle of the fire place. How lucky that Xander hadn't kept it with him or hidden somewhere. He must not have expected someone to try something like this. 

Cassian glanced over at the intruder but wasn't too worried. That was until Titus approached the cage door with the key in hand. His eyes widened and he shook his head frantically, glancing at the door nervously he wondered where his master was and if he would walk in on this compromising scene. 

"Come on out Luna. I'm sure you want to stretch those legs and stand up straight." Titus said with a reassuring smile as he turned the key in the lock until they both heard an audible click. Then to Cassian's horror, the door was being swung open. 

Cassian looked up at the man, gold eye tinged with fear. "D-did master say it was OK?" 

"...yeah. Listen just get out of the cage. Xander can't just force you to stay in there all day." Titus pleaded. Why was the boy even asking? Didn't he see that this could be his only chance to be free of the cage even if only for a few minutes? 

Cassian bit his lip and got off his mattress only to retreat as far away from the cage door as possible. 

"I really don't think I'm allowed. I appreciate your kindness but can you please lock the door." Cassian curled in on himself. He didn't want Xander to think this was his idea. Xander would probably get angry and accuse him of asking Titus for help. 

Meanwhile Xander was in the bathroom 'scenting' the clothing. Scenting involved rubbing his junk all over the clothes until only his scent remained. Xander periodically sniffed at each piece until he was satisfied it was thick with his scent and his wolf wouldn't go crazy. Once done he left the bathroom to retrieve his mate. What he saw stopped him in his tracks. 

Cassian was on the ground in front of his cage door with Titus' hands all over him. At least that's what Xander made out through the haze of red he was seeing. 

"WHAT THE f**k DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?" He growled louder then ever causing the two by the cage to jump apart. 

"I-" Titus couldn't even begin to explain before Xander was lifting him up and throwing him into a wall with such force Titus' vision blurred. In seconds Xander was on him again l, not at all noticing his mate sobbing and cowering back into his cage. Xander lifted the man up once more and this time went to the entrance to throw him out into the hall. 

"Don't ever come near my f*****g mate again." This time Xander's voice was low and dripping with acid as he slammed his bedroom door shut to confront his mate. 

For a split second Cassian had hope. Then he saw Xander's face at the cage entrance and he lost all that hope. He was about to be severely punished and it would definitely be worse than yesterday. 

"Master...? Please, he told me-" Cassian began to explain how he had found himself in the compromising position from earlier but Xander cut him off. 

"Shut. Up." Xander's chest was heaving in his blind rage. He didn't want to hurt his mate but he needed to do something. "Get out here." 

Cassian didn't hesitate to listen to his master. He would not make this punishment worse by disobeying now. Cassian was shaking in fear but still forced one leg in front of the other to reach Xander. Once Cassian was within arms reach Xander pulled him up out of the cage and he slammed face first into Xander's chest. Cassian whimpered at the contact but felt extremely happy. He shouldn't have been so happy at the moment knowing he would be punished but he was still ecstatic at the fact that Xander was practically hugging him. 

Xander buriedhis head into the crook of Cassian's neck trying to smell the other male on him. Once he smelled the tiniest bit of Titus on Cassian Xander went wild. He threw Cassian across the room. Cassian braced himself for a rough landing but was shocked to feel Xander's luxurious bed beneath him. 

"You. f*****g. w***e. you think it's f*****g OK to go around touching people. I'm the only f*****g person allowed to touch you in any way! Do you understand?" Xander growled and stalked toward Cassian. 

He watched as his mate helplessly nodded and tears ran down his face against his will. He wasn't supposed to cry before Xander had even done anything to him. He had even been planning on trying to keep himself together during the punishment. He knew somehow that crying would only make the punishment worse 

"Good. Strip now." Xander ordered. 

Cassian was scared but quickly did as he was told unbuttoning his master's shirt as quickly as he could with trembling fingers. Once laying on the bed naked with Xander’s shirt thrown to the side Xander stepped forward. He slowly unbuttoned his pants and pushed them down his thighs a bit. Cassian's eyes widened at the sight. Realizing he wasn't getting the standard beating as punishment he looked at Xander confused. 

"Your f*****g covered in his scent." Was all Xander said before crawling onto the bed to straddle Cassian. He continued shuffling up Cassian until his d**k was directly in his face. A glimmer of lust shined in Cassian's eyes before he even knew what he was feeling or how to process it. "Lay back and close your eyes." 

Cassian didn't hesitate to do as he was told. Once the boy was in position Xander began to stroke himself from root to tip. His member instantly hardened at the sight of Cassian's face beneath 

his d**k head. He clenched himself in a tight fist, jerking the turgid flesh slowly. He almost couldn't contain himself when he felt Cassian's hot breath against his c**k. He began to play with his slit more causing the tip to ooze pre-c*m. Xander wasted no time in rubbing the droplet into the smooth skin of Cassian's cheek. Xander sighed in relief at the sight. Soon he was gushing pre-c*m. As he continued to rub it into every part of Cassian's face, his cheek, nose and forehead, the boy didn't flinch. At one point Xander's d**k came into contact with his mate's soft pale pink lips. All Cassian did was flick his small pink tongue out on instinct. This sent Xander overboard. Ropes of thick hot c*m went flying as Xander orgasmed. The larger male continued milking his twitching member until it finally calmed down with the last of his orgasm. Xander admired the mess he made of his mate's face for a moment longer before moving. 

The sticky substance was practically a glaze over Cassian’s face. Cassian, being the good slave he was, hadn't opened his eyes once throughout the entire thing. Xander used his lips as a tissue one more time before zipping up and lifting off the bed. He turned to admire his mate one last time before speaking. 

"Get up and get back to your cage. Don't you dare wipe your face off until I say so." He loved the sight of his mate covered in his fluids. For the first time Xander truly felt that Cassian was his. 

Rolling off the bed and standing, Cassian meekly walked over slowly, opened the door and crawled back into his cage disbelieving that that was all to his punishment. Could that even be considered a punishment? It had all felt amazing to Cassian especially when he had gotten a taste, he blushed at the memory of his boldness. He looked down at his little friend wondering why the stiff flesh between his legs was starting to hurt him. He had never stood up down there before. He had seen Xander like this once when Cassian had been showering, the sight had surprised Cassian at the time and embarrassed him slightly. 

"Master?" Cassian tried tentatively. 

Xander looked over curiously. "What?" 

"Umm... my p***s is... It's hurting me..." Cassian finally got out blushing a deeper shade of red from the tips of his ears and down to his neck. 

Xander's earlier anger had dissipated after scenting his mate, now at Cassian's words it fled him completely. He chuckled at the boys naivety, it was kind of cute. Xander shook the thought out of his head. 

"Take care of it yourself, my little stunt just now strengthened the bond. I won't be touching you anytime soon." Xander replied while walking towards the pile of clothing he had dropped in his haste to kill Titus. Good thing he hadn't, it would have not gone well with the pack. 

Cassian stayed silent for a moment, processing Xander's words. How did Cassian 'take care of it'? He thought of Xander's hard member in the bathroom yesterday and wondered how he had done it. Cassian tentatively wrapped a hand around his shaft and gave a hesitant stroke. His breath quickened immediately and he couldn't help the whimper that escaped him at the contact. He soon got the hang of it and began to rub faster. He closed his eyes at the sensation only to have them snap open at Xander's voice. It was a bit more gruff than usual. 

"It will feel better if you pull the skin back a bit and play with the slit." Xander was looking through the cage lustfully watching his mate jerk off. Sure it may have been a bit creepy but this would be Xander's only chance to see his mate like this. 

Cassian did as Xander said without hesitation and ended up cumming almost immediately. 

"Fuck... so sensitive." He heard Xander mutter before the Alpha disappeared from view. 

If Xander didn't leave the room now he would rip his mate from the cage and take him right then and there. Just as he reached the door the soft voice of his mate called to him. He walked back over to the cage and bent to face his mate once more. 

"What happened?" Cassian asked Xander could see tears running down his mates face where just a moment ago there had only been orgasmic bliss. 

Xander was confused. "What?" 

"Why does the pack doctor think you have a special reason for punishing me? Isn't it what I deserved? The others seem to think it was too much. And earlier Titus was trying to get me to come out of my cage... He said it was wrong. I-I didn't want to leave my cage. He said it wasn't right, the way I was being treated. I don't really understand. I'm a slave. Why does the pack think it's wrong when it wasn't wrong before? 

Please master, I'm so confused. I feel like things completely flipped upside down. I used to be a good slave and never got punished once. Now I'm your mate and I'm getting punished all the time. Does that make me a bad mate? I don't want to be a bad mate... P-please can I go back to just being a good slave? I-I won't bother anyone... and I will stop making you angry. It's OK right? I can go back." Cassian couldn't even believe he had thrown it all out there like that. One minute he was getting such unbelievable pleasure the next he was crying. His emotions were all over the place. 

"Are you rejecting me?"Xander’s heart plummeted at his own words as he watched shock cross Cassian’s face.
