The Whispers and The Wolf

Eighteen

We cleared away the plates together without speaking much. Just basking in each other’s company. Once the dishwasher was filled and on, I poured us another glass of wine each and we settled on the couch.

“So,” I began. He tensed slightly next to me, not sure of what I was going to say. “The New Moon-“

“That desperate to jump my bones are ye, wee birdie?” He grinned and wiggled his eyebrows. I slapped his arm (more gently this time, learning from my last mistake) and laughed.

“I would say yes but I don’t want to inflate your ego anymore.” I teased. “Why do we have to wait for it? I understand that you’re the big boss man, but what does that have to do with us?”

He sat up a little, getting ready to answer my question I hope. “I am the Alpha to my people.” He stated. “I am the strongest and most powerful in the pack, as was my Da before me. But an Alpha male is only as strong as his Mate. Wolves can find their Mate from as young as 16, when we first turn. An Alpha can only reach his full potential when he finds his Alpha female. His Luna.” He stroked my face. “The New Moon symbolises a new beginning for the pack. The most successful matings and weddings are done at this time. And pups born on a New Moon are a special blessing.”

I could listen to him speaking about this for hours, I was completely lost in every word. But something he said was nagging at me “So you waited all this time for me… To feel powerful?”

“No, no that’s not it.” He could sense the hurt in my voice. “I waited for ye to feel complete. I am powerful but I’ve never felt complete. Never truly happy. Until ye moved into my house and made it a home. I thought I knew what to expect when my Mate would come into my life. But I never could’ve imagined that ye’d be this perfect.”

I didn’t notice the tears start falling until he wiped them away with his thumb. “Don’t cry Mo Leannan.” He leaned in and kissed my cheek, letting me look deep into his eyes to show his confession was sincere.

“What do you mean your house?” I sniffled.

“That’s what yer going to focus on, aye?” He laughed, wiping another of my tears away. “I was planning on going away for a few months, to do some research the for the company… and to see if I might find my Mate. So I put my house up for rent. And along you came to completely rip my house apart. And my plans.”

“So where are you staying? And how long are you going away for? And WHEN?” The questions tumbled out before I could stop them.

“Shhh. I’m not going anywhere. Not now. And I’m staying between Catie’s and Sadie’s. I’m out most of the day so only need somewhere to sleep and they didn’t mind sharing the responsibility.”

“Something tells me you didn’t give them much choice, Alpha.”

“Ohhh Autumn ye really need to stop doing that.”

“Doing what… Mr Maxwell?” I was in his lap in an instant, straddling his thick thighs with his hands on my waist. I gulped. I was so turned on, just by the look in his eyes and the feel of him underneath me. “When is this New Moon?”

“In 8 days…” he began by kissing my shoulders, to my collarbone, to my neck. “But that doesn’t mean we have to wait until then to… explore.”

“Well I say we take this upstairs. I’ve heard some strange noises out there and I’m sure I’ve seen someone watching me…” It hit me like a ton of bricks when I saw the look on his face. One of utter amusement and curiosity.

“You BASTARD! That was you?!” I slapped his chest again. He was hysterical, and it took everything in me to not laugh along with him. That familiar heat crept up my chest to my neck and face as I remembered the growling and howling I heard when I was lying in bed having some alone time. He must’ve known what I was thinking.

“Once I sensed ye, I couldn’t stay away. I pride myself on my control but f**k, birdie, watching ye undress then playing with that sweet wee p***y, it took everything I had no to barge in that door and take ye then and there.” Normally a man speaking like that would’ve made me feel uncomfortable but there was no denying it. I was more turned on than I’d ever been, my underwear was soaked and the butterflies in my stomach were threatening to fly out of them.

“And what is your self-control like now?” I asked, biting my lip and looking at him from under my eyelashes.

“That aw depends on you.” He replied. Without hesitation, I grabbed his bulge from underneath me and he hissed. “Yer going to make this impossible for me, aren’t ye.” He stood, holding me in his arms and carrying me upstairs. I squeezed my thighs together with the anticipation of what was to come. Or who.

Conlan slammed me down on the bed, holding himself up to look down at me. “Ye are such a fuckin’ tease, ye know that.” His eyes pure black. Steadying himself with one hand, he slid his free one up my leg, under my dress and underwear and grabbed my naked ass cheek. I unbuttoned his jeans, sliding my hand inside his boxers to feel him. Another hiss as my fingers grazed his huge hard c**k, and another when I closed my fingers and squeezed.

We were kissing and fumbling like a pair of horny teenagers; letting everything go to the excitement of the new and unknown and every graze heightened by those tingles. The tingles were like lightning bolts on my skin, bringing me closer to climax with every touch. His fingers brushed my entrance eliciting an internal gasp from me, and I felt him smiling against my mouth. “I do hope ye aren’t that fond of these” was all he said before I heard the loud rip and sudden draught between my legs.

“You ripped my pants?” I asked in shock.

“I’ll rip the dress as well if ye don’t get it off. NOW.” He demanded, getting off the bed and pulling his T-shirt over his head.

“Yes Alpha.” I breathed, climbing on my knees and pulling the dress down from my shoulders. I had no bra on. There I was, naked as the day I was born in front of a man I had just met 2 days ago. A Werewolf King no less. He raked his eyes over every inch of my nakedness, licking his lips and pulling his jeans down. He pounced on top of me, making me fall back onto the bed and giggle. Giving me one last kiss on the lips, he settled himself at the bottom of the bed and started at my feet. Kissing, licking, nibbling, swapping between both legs, moving up at a painfully and purposefully low pace. When he got to my inner thighs, I squeezed them together, unable to hide my shame. I had stretch marks from gaining and losing weight over the years and it was a place I was always very self conscious of. He pulled my legs apart, catching my eyes with his.

“Perfect…” he growled as he kissed every stretch mark. The tears came involuntarily, how did I get so lucky? He rubbed his nose from my thigh to my most sensitive area, blowing on it making me inhale sharply. I couldn’t take it anymore. Just as he opened his mouth to go to town, there was an ear shattering howl, followed by another and another. His head darted up, staring straight out of the window.

“I have tae go.” He said urgently. “I’m so sorry Autumn.” He was up and getting dressed before I even adjusted to what was happening. “I’ll be by in the morning.”

“Come back tonight?” I bit my lip.

“Anything for you Mo Leannan. Don’t wait up.”
