The Alpha's Siren: Song of Mating

Wolf, Woman, Warrior

    Garry's POV

    The run was working its magic. The hot Texas air of the day had relented to a comfortable warm that was perfect for a run. The woods around me were unfamiliar, but their scent was familiar none the less. The soft growing things that also smelled of dirt and decay were an ever present scent all over this beautiful state. The saltiness of the sea air was almost overpowering the smells of everyday forest life here though. I must be close. The scent of the local pack was almost not here, they must prefer the inland areas of the woods. As the trees began to thin somewhat I sniffed again only to be flattened with the most mouthwatering thing I'd ever smelled. MATE my wolf was screaming at me. MATE MATE MATE! I dropped my clothes and tried to catch the direction of the scent. I found her! My mate was here! Running forward I was almost to the edge of the tree line when I heard a scream pierce the night. The sound was pure agony to my wolf. It was our mate, and she was in pain. A ferocious growl burst from my chest as I ran even faster. 

    Breaking through the tree line I began to look desperately for the source of her voice and scent, I ran along the beach toward the pull. Near the water's edge I saw a huge man emerging from a wave, but he seemed focused on the beach near the water's edge. That's when I saw her. My wolf howled in pure bliss and then absolute terror. Her skin was the palest I'd ever seen, and the way the moon shone she almost looked dead. She lay in the wet sand just out of the water completely naked and absolutely vulnerable. 

    My claws were digging into the sand as I raced toward her all while growling and howling my warning to the man. He stopped when he saw me and watched as I ran. He slipped beneath the surface and did not immediately come back up. Finally I reached her side and began to sniff and look her over for wounds. When I could find no wounds and saw she was in fact breathing I allowed myself a moment of relief. My eyes drank her in as much as my deep breaths inhaled her overpowering and intoxicating scent. 

    Her hair was a deep blue black that had hints of purple in it and went down well past her wide curvy hips. My God how am I ever going to get over how beautiful her face is? I shook with lust as I saw her breasts were large with stiff dusky peaks that were begging to be suckled. Before my wolf and I were done admiring our mate the man was emerging again. Something about him seemed very odd, but I didn't have the time to register more than the spear he was bringing up. Growling in fury I moved in front of my mate to protect her. The man let out a hiss, seeming frustrated by my actions. He slipped below the surface again. I wasted no time shifting and scooping her into my arms. 

    "You're safe babe," I told her kissing her forehead as I ran with her to the trees and the safety they offered. I moved quickly retracing my scent to the place I had dropped my clothes. I had to get to my phone, I needed back up and the pack doctor to look at my mate as soon as possible. Her scent made our trail so easy to follow it was absurd. The feel of my mate's naked skin pressed against my bare chest had me running with the most awkward erection. 

    We reached the pile of clothing and realized I needed to set her down. My wolf raged in my head unwilling to let her go in any way. I struggled to get a hold of my clothes with my toes. I'd often seen my mother juggling things with full hands. She would often pick things up with her toes to keep from dropping things. I felt ridiculous as I tried four times before squatting the way I should have to begin with. I was squatting in the most absurd pose with my mate in my arms. I looked at her pale face again and couldn't help but admire how beautiful my  mate is. A soft thud off in the distance reminded me that someone was trying to kill her, to take her away forever. 

    I began to feel as though I were running out of time as I scanned rapidly for the man with the spear. I decided to call as I ran, clothing be dammed. Straightening I pressed the 1 auto dial and jammed the phone to my ear with my shoulder and began jogging north east. The Corpus Christi territory was where my beta was headed, best to go their direction.

    "Sup, Alpha?" Ty greeted me. 

    "Come get me now. I am heading toward you. Get a pack doctor and have them on stand by. Track the GPS on my phone. I will need two sets of clothes. Call when you're near," I told him in clipped tones and hung up. He knew how I was, especially if there is something wrong. I looked down at my mate and saw that her lips were cracked and dry. What had she been through? Using the muscles of my arms I tried my best to shield her from the vines and low hanging branches.

    It wasn't long before my feet landed on a soft red dirt trail that was worn flat from use by joggers. The natural trees from the woods lined one side of the trail and high bushes lined the other. This late it was unlikely it was being used. I stayed low on the trail listening closely for the sounds of anyone approaching. I wished she would wake, I wanted to know she was okay. Her scent was wrapped around me like a cocoon now, and it called to my wolf to claim our mate. The oddest thing about her scent was that is held no trace of wolf. If she was a wolf I'd bet my life she'd never turned, which meant she never would. She looked to be around 20, if that. Her breathing was becoming more and more labored, as if she were running right along with me. Before long she was beginning to struggle, and I could sense she was in pain. I ran off the path a small way and began looking for the source of her distress. I found a soft patch of grass between several tall, thin trees with red leaves and soft looking bark. 

    Her eyes were still firmly closed, but her body was flushed red and her skin slick with sweat now. I began to worry, until my skin seemed to catch fire right along with her. Everywhere our skin touched I was burning. The burn seemed to have a direct link to my erection. I became painfully hard and groaned aloud. She was in heat. How the hell had she gone into heat without me marking her yet? Our bond had to be a powerful one, it was the only thing that made any sense. She was moaning and rubbing against me everywhere she could. I found a soft place to sit and settled her on my lap the best I could without rubbing my throbbing c**k against her plump rear end. 

    I tried to calm her with kisses on her forehead and sweet words, but they only seemed to make the fire hotter. Every kiss made me wish her eyes would open so I could claim her lips. Every soft word made me wish she would open her mouth and say my name. She began to unconsciously rub against the stiffness that was pressed firmly against her rear at this point. I shifted her up and away, much to the anger of my wolf, and that was when everything got much more complicated. Her lips opened, but she was singing not speaking. Her back arched and her n*****s were right in front of my face. My tongue snaked past my lips as if they could already taste the bounty of her. Then the notes of her song washed over me and throbbed through my entire being. I knew in that moment I belong to her as much as she does to me. 

    Never before had I heard anything like this song. Nothing had ever made me feel so loved and so strong. My wolf was mesmerized in a way that I had never before known, he became instantly calm and tranquil. All the love in the world was in this sound, this melody that was being sung by my mate. All of this love is mine. My heart began to swell with my love for her and suddenly my wolf was trying to come to the surface again and I was struggling to keep him in. My teeth were longer and sharper, my claws were coming forward. Every primitive thing inside me wanted to claim my mate. Her heat was driving my wolf mad. I struggled to hold her as my wolf struggled with my and my skin shivered trying to crawl out of the way for fur. Then her long pale legs fell apart. My arm was lifting her toward my face before I realized it. 

     I could now see her perfect femininity and how wet she was for me. My wolf was tearing to be set lose, but I held back for dear life. Dropping her back to my lap seemed safer than having her spread before my face. She had to be drugged, why else would she be singing? No matter how much I wanted her, how much our bodies told us that we needed to, I would not take advantage of her. I struggled to maintain control as her voice changed. I began to feel the need inside me build in a way that I had never known. Even as a horny teenager I hadn't needed release so bad. I could feel her juices now as she began again to grind against me and I had to grit my teeth together to keep them off her neck. I could see right where my Mark belonged. Her voice was intense now, and the song she was singing had me feeling like a madman. Her voice seemed to wrap around my painfully hard c**k like a caress. Each new note of her song was like a stroke, a kiss and a tease to my throbbing masculinity. 

    "Baby, please," I whispered, not really sure what I was asking her for. Here she was, drugged and completely out of it, and all I could think about was myself. I would have been full of self loathing if it didn't feel like I was getting the best blow job of my life right now. I moaned loudly as her voice changed again, this time it was a fever pitch of need. Her need was so clear in her voice, it was my undoing. I felt myself orgasm even though she wasn't even physically touching my c**k at all. My body shook with the power of my release, but my erection didn't seem to go away. Groaning I buried my face in her neck and hair and inhaled deeply. I didn't dare open my mouth or even kiss her. I didn't trust myself to not mark her if I did. What the hell was that? Never before had I had such a powerful orgasm, and she didn't even touch me! Barely mated, not even official and I knew I was addicted to her. s**t.

    A sound reached my ears as I realized we had been sitting here for a while. I looked down at the phone that had been completely forgotten in the grass and looked to see a text that they were here. I got to my feet carefully so I wouldn't hurt my mate who was still moving around uncomfortably and moaning. At least she had stopped singing, there was no way I could handle anymore right now. Her skin was on fire and I was starting to worry that she'd had an allergic reaction to whatever they had drugged her with. Who the hell had been trying to hurt her and where were they now? 

    I walked toward the trail exit to see my beta there waiting with clothes in hand. His face seemed to be stuck in a state of shock at the naked woman in my arms. My wolf was growling low and deep, Ty better stop looking at my mate. His eyes met mine and he put his hands up, one full of clothing, clearly surrendering and showing he was no threat. I snatched the large button up from his hand and covered my mate from his view, I would worry about clothes after I was sure she was okay. We began to walk toward three trucks, one of them a big black dully where Ty's mate sat behind the wheel.

    "So, whats new buddy?" Ty asked like this was nothing out of the ordinary as we walked past row after row of pines. 

    "We're headed back to Austin," I informed him. He quirked a brow at me, but didn't say anything else as I climbed carefully into the back of the huge truck that his mate Jess was so fond of. I had to hand it to her, the big truck had its moments where its space was indeed very handy. 

    "Do you know anything about why she is unconscious?" The doc asked as we got into the truck. The leather was cold against my bare ass and legs, especially since they had the dam ac running, but at least the hard on was going away now though. Then doctor made the mistake of trying to touch my mate's neck, probably for some medical reason, and my wolf reacted. 

    Before anyone registered what was happening my hand was around his throat squeezing the life from him. He was choking as I roared in his face. The door behind him popped open and someone snatched him backward out of my grip as I growled my rage. 

    "MINE!" I growled loudly. The doctor was gasping for air and trying to recover while Jess stood between the doc and me. Her black ponytail bounced as she was shaking her head and smiling in the most infuriating way.     

    "We know. We can all smell that she's already in heat, but the doctor can't help her if you act like a jackass," she said. "Quit your s**t so he can make sure she's okay. You do wanna know she's okay, right? Cuz why is she passed out like that and humming? She looks like she's sick." Jess said teasingly, but ending on a softer note that seemed concerned. My eyes were drawn back to the pale skin of my mate.

    "I think she may have been drugged," I said. I quickly explained how I'd found her and what was going on. Ty was immediately on the phone with the local territory. Their alpha would have scouts out soon and we would find whoever had been trying to hurt my mate. The doctor approached again while Ty was on the phone, this time very, very slowly. He kept his hands up and his eyes on me.

    "Alpha, I want to help you. I want to help your mate. I can if you let me, but I don't want my mate to be a widow either. Will you let me try to help?" he asked. I couldn't help growling. I knew she needed to be examined, but dammit if I didn't wanna rip him up at the thought of him touching her in any way. "I will be very careful, I don't want to harm her in any way. We need to find out what is going on with her, she is in visible distress."

    "Fine," I said through gritted teeth. I watched as he took her pulse, listened to her heart and took her temperature. I became more and more worried as he did. He shook his head and looked at me with worried eyes. 

    "I have no idea what is going on here, but I have no diagnosis that I can give without further examination with my equipment. It sounds as if she has two hearts, but she can't be pregnant, she is clearly in heat. She has no trace of wolf on her scent, but again, she is clearly in heat. Her temperature is insanely high, probably from being in heat, but again, how when she doesn't appear to have a wolf. I have nothing to go on. I can't even test for drugs without blood samples and equipment. The double heartbeat is especially disturbing because they are completely different hearts, there isn't the slightest chance its an echo of her heart. If she is somehow pregnant and going into heat it will terminate the pregnancy." The doctor looked down at her with confusion and worry. My blood began boiling at the thought of another man touching her, bringing her pleasure, getting her pregnant. I was grinding my teeth trying to figure out if there was anything helpful at all that the doc had just said.

    "Is there anything you do know?" Ty asked, clearly thinking the same thing that I was. 

    "The only thing I can say for certain is that she isn't entirely human. Her scent is far too wild, but I can't find a trace of wolf scent to her aside from the alpha's. Humans also can't go into heat, and I'm sure anyone in a 50 mile radius can smell her heat. We know there are others out there besides wolfs who shift and turn. It could be a different animal that she shifts to. There are also legends of witches who could go into heat, but those are all myths." She was starting to relax in my arms, her humming had come to a stop. I held her close and kissed the top of her head. She could fill in the blanks when she woke up. Whatever she else she is, she's mine.

    "Let's get her safe. Take us to the nearest Pack House, Austin is too far off. They will accommodate us while I wait for my mate to recover." My words were all my Beta and Gamma needed. They started barking orders at everyone around us as the three trucks loaded up and we got on the road. 

Xandryn's POV

   The pain had been excruciating, but even as I was in the most pain, I wanted to admire her. Her beauty, her voice, her defiance. There was nothing about her that I didn't think was beautiful. Even though she was the one who had done this to me, I wanted to gaze on her beauty. I was in so much pain now, it was so hard to understand what they were saying. The Elder, is she singing to me? Yes, I feel like I'm floating in the warm current that lulls me to sleep. 

    My eyes didn't seem to be listening to my orders, I wanted to gaze on her. Her scent was making me crazy, but her beauty was making me tranquil. She was my Queen. My heart was full knowing I had been present to witness the birth of my Queen. The icy fire in my chest was changing. it was turning my body into something new. That sound, that sound was my Queen! She was singing to me. She was singing for me! I felt swollen with pride, my queen chose me. I could feel her heart in her song, and her heart was broken. My heart became heavy and I swore to protect her. That was when I began to change. I could feel my body actually begin to swell and grow. I felt lighting striking my blood, then I felt something new and completely amazing. Her heartbeat, and it was inside my chest. I felt strength like I had never known before. My vision changed then. everything came into a clarity I had never known. 

    Few knew that I was very nearly blind. The reason for my scars was because I never saw the sharks till they were right on top of me. Now I could see everything. I saw the Elder, only her beauty was gone. She used magic to keep up her looks, but I could see through the illusion now. It was like looking through a fog in front of her that tried to cloud her reality. My eyes snapped to my queen. I began to burn with the most intense desire to heal her heart. The echo of its beating was in my chest. I could feel her heart racing with confusion, pain, anger and lust. Her lust was only because of her heat, I could sense that. Their words were all but lost on me now, all I could do was try to sort through the overwhelming emotions I could feel that were not my own. The Elder said I was her warrior.

    "I will serve you always my Queen," I told her, swearing my oath with everything in me. Never again would anyone hurt her. Her hand went over hear heart, and I wondered if she could feel me the way I felt her.

    "I'm so sorry, I don't know what I did or how I did it. You don't have to serve me," she said softly. She was rejecting me?

    "I WILL serve you always. Will you let me ease the pain of your heat?" I asked hoping she would let me ease the pain we were both feeling because of her heat. 

    "NO!" she shrieked. I would be hurt if I couldn't feel her pure terror. She turned back to the Elder furious. "Why did you do this?!"   The Elder began her lecture and I realized the other males where slowly getting closer. I began to tremble in anger. My queen had said no, now they act as if they will take her anyway?! Before I realized it, my queen was on the move, and they were all were chasing her. I began to catch up with them. I swam past the first male and hit him hard in the side of the head. He immediately began to sink. I grabbed the next one by the tail and pulled hard. He spun to face me and the crossed his arms over his chest in the symbol of submission. Hissing I continued to try and grab more. Then she turned around. Her song washed over us all. What put the rest in pain only made me feel safe. I closed my eyes to drink in her song when she was suddenly gone. I began to attack the remaining males who hadn't fled already. How dare they?!

    With a roar of fury I began to attack. I had never been so fast or strong before. One after another I had them sinking from hit after hit. My fury was burning as bright as the queen's heat. The water was laced with the scent of anger and fear. They were fleeing now, no longer captivated by the queen's scent. Now to find her.

    Following her scent was easy, it was like a blood trail in the water. I found her laying on shore, and she had been there long enough to change. The more I came out of the water the more of her I could see. What was wrong with her?! I could feel her, but it was so different from when she was in the water. Then I heard it. The sound was angry, and it was getting closer. I looked up to see a land beast coming toward me as if it saw its dinner. I was not going to let it find the queen first. I quickly went under the water and focused. There had to be something I could throw at it. Then I saw one of the warriors spears just laying on the sand under the water. I quickly went back up to see it had discovered my queen. The hiss that escaped my lips was the most ferocious warning I had ever given. The beast looked up at me and began its angry sound again. I raised the spear to take aim when the thing moved in front of her. Hissing again I looked to see if I could get past it's large and odd body without hurting her. Frustrated I slipped below again and tried to find the echo that would call the other warriors. How do I do it? I tried and tried to no avail. How do I call them?! I surfaced again to make sure she was still safe. My eyes scanned the beach over and over and found nothing. Roaring in anger I went onto the beach. Rules be damned, I will find and protect my queen! I struggled up to the spot where she had lain, the sand still holding the print and shape of her body. I saw other things the sand had recorded, but they made no sense to me. Some were clearly the beast's imprint. But what are the other shapes? As I touched the shape that had stood over my queen, and probably stole her away, I began to change. My tail began to be sawed apart by unseen sharks and no matter how hard I looked I couldn't find where the pain came from to stop it. I gritted my teeth against the agony and stopped searching when I saw my tail changing. Hold on my queen, I will find you soon.
