Loyalty

Chapter Two

I could feel my mind coming back to its senses and that amazing dream fading into a distant memory when I felt my hand squeeze against something soft and squishy. I heard a squeak when I squeezed a little bit harder, my nails digging into flesh and I had a slight idea as to what I was squeezing but this was payback from last night. I groaned when I felt the woman elbow me in the gut and when the woman saw that I barely even budged, the woman just groaned loudly. After a few, she did end up squirming around like a little worm but even in the midst of her struggles I continued to massage her soft breasts. 

“Stay still dammit,” I groaned, and that only made the woman squirm even more and for a moment I thought she was doing it on purpose. After a few, the woman actually stopped squirming and focused on pressing her bottom against my crotch. I could feel my c**k rest between two very round and plump cheeks and I could also feel myself harden as well. She was working an angle that she knew that she had leverage in and as mini-me hardened completely, the woman had just stopped moving just like that.

My wolf was happy until she stopped her little movements and he kept urging me to seduce the woman in my bed. My wolf also reminded me that last night was not a simple one-time thing and that he was planning to be a lot more active than before. “Do not move or I’ll use your thighs to get rid of my morning wood,” I growled lowly into her ear which only caused my wolf to whine profoundly. 

However, the woman didn’t listen to me, and instead of moving she used one of her free hands to move my c**k between her thighs and call me on my bluff. “Wooommaaann you do not want to go down that road,” I warned her but when she glanced over her shoulder and gave me a slight smirk something in me just knew that she was challenging me. My wolf wanted me to answer her challenge and when the woman began to move her hips a little to entice me just a tad bit more I couldn’t help the low moan that escaped from my lips.  

“S-Stop that,” I hissed weakly while this woman had me eating out of the palm of her hands and as she continued this motion I felt myself relax as she went on. The woman had me completely dazed and this morning was definitely something that I didn’t expect from someone who had only spent a night in my bed. My brain had only a second to process the thought when I could feel myself getting close but in that exact same moment, the woman stopped moving her hips. 

I was about to protest when I heard someone knock on my door and I knew exactly who it was. She was the queen of c**k blocking in my pack and she was also the queen of bad timing. My beta - Janel - was knocking on my door right on time and for the first time in my entire life, I just wanted to toss Janel off a damn cliff and be done with the queen of c**k blockers. 

Did I mention that she was also the queen of not getting the hint? When Janel didn’t hear a single thing from my end she just burst through the door without any hesitation “Alpha Milan it’s time to get up,” she told me as our eyes made contact “I know that Janel,” I growled at her “Then get up,” she barked back. As I said, Janel is the queen of not getting the hint which makes me feel sorta sorry for her future mate. Right now though, it was either get up now and let Janel see my erection from this woman’s teasing or it was holding onto this woman for dear life and play my cards right. 

Janel saw that I was basically naked but she didn’t care at all and when she took a few steps towards the bed my mind just started to panic. Janel is so dense that even my alpha command just goes over her head and Janel could see a whole nude beach of old men just butt naked and not even be fazed by it. So, I panicked and just held onto the woman in my bed as if my life depended on it “You just let her sleep in your bed without a proper bath,” she questioned while getting closer to my bed and as Janel got closer I could hear someone snickering. This woman had played me and I was gullible enough to think that this woman wasn’t up to anything. 

I grumbled lowly while trying to think of anything so Janel wouldn’t come any closer “So what if I did? I brought her home so she’s my responsibility,” and that only caused Janel to throw her hands up in frustration and take a few more steps closer “Who knows how long she hasn’t bathed for! Now you have to double down and shower again,” Janel huffed “I-I didn’t shower last night so I’ll shower now and she can bathe with me.” 

Janel sighs while shaking her head “You should just let me take care of her,” she stated while trying to move for the woman and I simply swatted at Janel’s hand she could even see where my manhood was resting “I will handle her myself,” I growled at Janel while carefully moving so that the woman was in my lap and hiding my hard c**k perfectly. I held onto the woman with an iron grip while trying to get Janel to leave this room as soon as possible but no matter what I did, Janel was just that persistent.

“Give her to me, Alpha Milan. We don’t have time to cater to a stray,” she fussed but when Janel reached for the woman, the woman grabbed Janel’s hand and twisted it backward until I heard a loud pop. Janel hissed at the woman before pulling away and when Janel looked at the woman while tending to her dislocated wrist, I saw Janel holding back her murderous intent. I gave Janel my best smile that I could give her and told her “I’ll handle her, Janel so don’t worry about it,” but Janel couldn’t let this go “But Alpha, who knows where this woman has been!” I glared at Janel, a low growl sounding from my chest as I warned her to step down and when Janel backed away then bowed slightly, she had finally got the picture.

“Understood, Alpha Milan.”

“Now leave so I can get ready.”

“Yes, Alpha.”

“Make sure that the training grounds run smoothly while I get ready,” I told her dismissively and once Janel was out of the room, I turned my attention to the woman in my lap. “I am going to remember that little prank little one,” I whispered into her ear and when I felt the woman’s body tremble, cupid’s little started inching closer towards its target called my heart. 

The woman glanced at me then at my arms encasing her small frame and she still didn’t talk. She didn’t even get angry but I noticed that her eyes were brighter than before which was a good thing in my book. I learned that she was playful and that she was comfortable pulling such pranks like that on me and I also noticed that I would need to be on my toes if I wanted to avoid this woman’s pranks.

“I’m going to need a name for you soon little one,” I mumbled while resting my chin on this woman’s shoulder. Despite the little prank that she pulled, I was in a good mood this morning and I really wanted to continue so I could get rid of this morning wood but my mind was elsewhere. I had a dream that was pleasant and it didn’t reek of bloodshed. I had a dream about a family and little ones calling me daddy. I had a dream that wasn’t my mate being killed over and over again in my head. It was a dream of what I had wanted since I was a little boy and when I woke up there was finally someone in my bed.

But will she remain there for years to come…? 

Instead of a mate that only loved me because of the bond and what I could offer them I was presented with a woman that was sorta oblivious to all of that. Instead of a mate that wanted to immediately have my pups I was given a woman who was playful and seemed to enjoy humiliating me in the morning. For some reason, this morning was better than anything I have ever woken to in years and I was in a good mood because of that. I didn’t feel the low pricks at my skin anymore from losing my mate after completing the bond. I didn’t feel like my mind was slowly falling into a place that it could never return from and for some reason, I felt like I could face my reality of being the alpha of this pack.

When the woman slipped from my grasp I let out a low whine with my wolf and tried to get her back in my arms but the woman didn’t let any of that happen. The woman began to look through my closet and picked my outfit for the day while finding something for herself. She had decided on a pair of shorts that I had forgotten to throw out from my mate’s side of the closet and one of my smaller hoodies. She checked for my approval and I simply nodded while trying not to think about the past because right now my eyes were fixated on the most intriguing creature on this planet.

She gathered the clothes in one of her arms then used the other to drag me out of bed and I was simply dazed by this morning. I had taken a stray off the street when I couldn’t pass her by anymore and I wasn’t regretting it at all. I was enjoying this far too much and for some reason, it felt like I was still in that dream.

When we were in the bathroom the woman had set the clothes down before she went to turn on the water for our shower. I wondered why she was homeless and I wondered why someone would just toss this woman aside like that. I wanted to hit whoever broke her like that. I wanted to kick this person in their nuts for throwing such a beautiful woman like her away.  

When she motioned for me to get in while she stripped down I was confused but also taken aback by her invitation. Was she really going to join me? Was she really about to shower with me after just one night together? When I saw that she was serious I sure as hell didn’t say no to her invitation I just obeyed while chuckling “You’re a bold little peach,” slipped from my lips. She got in the shower with me and I was still baffled by her willingness to shower with me. 

The water felt warm, nearly inviting when I closed the shower curtain and sealed this woman’s fate and she just looked at me with the most innocent eyes that I have ever seen in my life. She batted her eyelashes a few times before turning her back to me and reaching for the rag so she could wash. A small idea did pop in my head when I observed the woman and for some reason, I wanted my revenge for the torture she put me through this morning.

As she lathered the rag I traced my fingers in a circular motion along her round bottom then let my nails dig into her skin while I dragged them downwards. The woman had taken a moment to register what I was doing but once she did the woman jerked away from me abruptly. I had noticed that this woman was sometimes unsure of my touch and I also knew that this woman was strangely playful. I am on day two of having this woman all to myself and strangely I was starting to forget about my deceased mate.

The woman had moved away from me but I pulled her back in a possessive manner and as her warmth invaded my body I also felt the demons inside me become quiet. No longer did I care about hating my alpha status and no longer did I care about wanting a normal life. My hands were firmly planted on her waist and when she heard the low sigh come from me, the woman just allowed me to embrace her from behind. At this very moment, I was at peace with all the why’s and I no longer thought about the what if’s. “You make me feel strange,” I whispered into her ear “I wanted to get back at you for this morning but I’m not even mad anymore,” I admitted. I wasn’t telling a lie. I don’t know how to really describe how this woman makes me feel but I was starting to like it.

The woman didn’t respond but I knew that she was nervous and I believe it was time to get back at her for this morning “On the other hand though I’m going to use these thighs to get rid of my b***r you caused this morning,” I told her bluntly while sliding my c**k between those extremely fluffy thighs of hers. The woman glanced at me while chewing on her bottom lip and I saw a hint of regret lingering in her eyes “I warned you little one and you didn’t adhere to my warning,” I told her while waving my finger at the woman “So, shall we begin?”

Moments later, we were done with our shower and the woman didn’t play any more s****l tricks on me at all. “Little one,” I said while pulling my shirt down “You’ll be training with my pack today so I can see where you stand here. I’m sure you’re aware of what we are by now,” I grumbled while trying to button my pants “So, I need you to train so you can protect yourself.” 

She simply nodded and when we were finally able to join the rest of my pack, I saw that Janel had already given them their orders. Janel was tending to the younger wolves and I noticed that she was teaching them how to properly wield a knife and the fundamentals of defense. When my pack members noticed that I had joined them and brought someone I knew with me, they stopped what they were doing to give me my full attention. 

“This woman will be joining us from now on in your training session.”

I could hear the low chuckles from some of my members and I knew exactly why. This woman was a human from what I could see and the only thing that was telling me that she wasn’t quite human was the marking on her chest. I still needed to see where this woman stood just in case she got caught in my plans to dethrone the council. 

“Who wants to volunteer?”

A few raised their hand and I ended up choosing a sturdy, well trained, male out of the few who wanted to show me that a human could never go against a wolf. I also knew that this woman had been in the outside world for some time and she had to know about the different races out there as well. There’s no excuse to hide it from her so when the woman and the male that I chose took a step forward inside the ring, I didn’t hesitate to start the match.

“Start!”

The man charged at the woman without any hesitation before he started throwing fist after fist in the woman’s direction. The woman used her palms to deflect each blow but she never went on the offense. The woman didn’t make any moves towards an offensive stance and when the male wolf switched it up and incorporated his feet into the mix, the woman was still using a defensive stance. 

I noticed that she was being pushed back near a giant oak tree and saw that the male was becoming overly confident when he saw her back hit against the tree. The woman didn’t flinch though and as the other pack members watched the woman stand her ground against their own, they were starting to grow quiet. When his fist crashed against the solid oak tree, the sudden burst of pain had caught him off guard.

The woman didn’t wait for the male to regain his composure and immediately got behind the male wolf. Her opponent quickly turned around but he was moments too late and what I saw happen before my eyes was miraculous. 

As the woman leaped into the air and twisted her body to create good momentum for her foot, I saw the glimpse of surprise on her opponent’s face quite well. I could hear the snap echo throughout the woods as the woman’s opponent’s head twisted in a very odd direction. The wind looked like it had been knocked out of his lungs but when she landed, her opponent tried to figure out what was going on in his brain but before he could even do that, the woman brought her leg between her opponent’s legs.

Her opponent dropped to his knees, holding his jewels as she brought her foot upward and slammed her heel on his head thus knocking him out cold. The other members seemed to be shocked that a human could actually go up against a wolf but I found this oddly arousing and I was even more intrigued by the woman in general. I could use her in the upcoming war and I could use her to finally put an end to the stone age of us werewolves.
