her sweet chains

Episode 4

I didn’t sleep I flung myself down on the bed still fully clothed simply seething inside as I listened to the house fall asleep around me. I knew the next morning would likely be very unpleasant but I didn’t have the energy to deal with that right now and knew I would probably have either started throwing things or yelling. I was just still so angry, we’re nothing if not protective of our pack and I was so angry that some of mine had got hurt I know we hurt them more than they hurt us but that didn’t matter how dare they threaten my pack. Luckily this anger had flowed from me leaving me feeling numb just too tired to even think of it, but still to wired to sleep. My ears pricked up as I heard a foreign sound. My wolf sense cautioned me so I leapt to my feet silently and stood crouched and silent waiting for another sign of were this threat was coming from as my hand instinctively reached out in the dark my fingers easily finding the hidden drawer allowing me to retrieve my small revolver. I straightened as I heard a sound again outside my window.  I held my breath thinking frantically as I quickly clicked the safety off, but before I could properly think of what to do the window swung open and a dark figure slid into my room. On instinct I leapt hitting my attacker who in pure surprise didn’t react and as my weight landed on him he fell over onto his back and I heard the wind being knocked out of him as I pushed the muzzle of the gun against his forehead. The growl in my throat died away as my enhanced eyes took in the features of her intruder.

“Damn you Derek.” I snarled jabbing a finger into his chest.

“Ouch.” He said fakely rubbing his chest.

“Haven’t we had the discussion about you climbing through the window?” I said firmly. I knew he could obviously as we were wolves our childhood games were well a little rough, and Derek and me had been sneaking into each others rooms since we learnt to climb (which was generally something we learnt to do just before we learnt to walk). But it was something I’d banned since he began shifting as he seemed so much more grown up and hence the act of climbing through my window had taken on a different meaning.

“Yeah but if this is the way you’ll greet me every time I try it I should ignore your requests more often.” He said with a small smile, I did growl at that but mainly at myself as he was still lying flat on his back with my body laid on top of him. “Although I would prefer it if you could remove the gun.” I didn’t move an inch Derek smiled just a little more “you won’t need it.” He said his voice slightly husky. I sighed and pushed myself up to my feet as Derek groaned screwing his face up as though disappointed.

“What are you doing here, didn’t Darius ground you?” I asked placing my gun back into its hiding place. Derek smiled,

“Well we’ve been sentenced but not grounded.”

“Three months?” (we policed the issues between our kind ourselves but when pack wolves misbehaved in a way that wasn’t sever enough to warrant banishment they were sentenced to hard physical labour to rebuild and maintain our properties). 

“Four.” He spat,

“Oooh that’s a long time.” I said brightly Derek smiled again,

“You’ll be in trouble too you know.” He said grimly “Darius is pissed.” I smiled my great defender from my father,

“I think you’ll be in trouble if anybody knows you’re here.”

“I wasn’t banned from coming here.”

“Semantically.”

“Darius said I should leave you alone tonight and its now 2am.”

“And so its morning.” I added Derek nodded “semantics.” I grumbled under my breath.

“If the Alpha commanded it I couldn’t have come here could I but I’m here.”

“you could have gone rogue.” I suggested

“Well if I have gone rogue I’ll have to run away wont I so maybe you should keep that in mind while I’m here.” He said the gold sparks dancing across his eyes.

“Right, so Derek why are you here?” I asked he jumped to his feet not even needing to use his hands (the show off) and I took a small step back for some reason I found him more intimidating like this that is fully dressed and looking at me like I was the most desirable thing he had ever seen, rather than earlier when he was completely naked and just looking at me with a deep concern. He took a single stride and somehow ended up right next to me. My brain seemed to jam as I couldn’t think of what I should do. He reached out and brushed the hair back from my face.

“I just wanted to say… Happy Birthday.” He whispered throatily. My eyes were locked on him I just couldn’t think of anything to say as slowly Derek leaned himself in closer I felt Goosebumps jump up on my skin as I felt Derek’s warm breath brush across my skin. I wasn’t even breathing anymore as I was too focused on Derek to notice anything else. Suddenly He kissed me fiercely the only way to describe it as his hands grasped either side of my waist firmly pressing my body to his. I stepped back in an attempt to put some distance between us but he followed my steps until my back hit the wall. At which point his hands were free and began to roam as his lips continued to crush mine as though oblivious to my lack of response. I felt his tongue sweep along my closed lips and I could have sworn at that moment that Derek growled at me, as I stood still tolerating his affections until he got bored. Derek growled again more firmly as I felt the rumble running through his whole body as he pushed himself up against me more harshly his hands continuing to roam around roughly as if trying to force me to feel what he was, and I knew that it would take a long time for him to get bored. I breathed in slowly in an attempt to pacify myself and inhaled Derek’s scent deeply. I knew his smell of course but right now this seemed different it was all I could smell, and it was intoxicating. Suddenly kissing him seemed like the most logical thing in the world. I pressed my lips harshly back against his my tongue sliding into his mouth to taste him. I clutched at Derek roughly to keep from falling as soon as the taste of him truly hit me, it was most simply the most beautiful thing I had ever tasted, and I felt as if a strange drug was coursing through my body awakening previously dormant features. I moaned gently and pushed back against him my hands sliding around his head to tightly grip fistfuls of his hair. At this point I defiantly did hear him growl again as his hands grabbed fistfuls of my hair and not gently. But otherwise his activity stopped he wanted me to kiss him which I was happy enough to do. I slid my tongue out to run it along his lips, the slippery enamel of his teeth , licking the inside of his mouth slowly luxuriously savouring this moment that was separate from reality it was a world ruled only by physical sensations: his touch, taste smell. Derek moaned gently but otherwise remained passive holding me close to him his hands still fixed in my hair. My tongue continued to explore his mouth my senses overwhelmed by the delicious taste of him. I nipped his tongue and growled playfully encouraging him to kiss me back which he finally did enthusiastically as if he had sudden begun craving my taste the way I did for him. We kissed passionately as he pressed me even tighter to his taut body. Suddenly my eyes flew open in shock as I broke away from his kiss, because I had suddenly become aware of his huge erection that I could feel between both our jeans. Derek looked at me panting slightly a pained sort of quizzical look in his eyes I gestured with a tiny nod, he looked and realised all too well what I had noticed was now pressed up against my hip. He opened his mouth to say something but I pressed a light butterfly kiss on his lips to stop him scared speech would break the spell we were in. Derek’s hands released my hair and strayed down to my bum. He lifted me pinning my body between his and the wall wrapping my legs around his waist tightly before untying the strap holding my halter neck top up. He growled in frustration realising I was so tightly pinned to the wall that he couldn’t remove my clothing. He placed me back down but kept his lips locked onto mine as we tried to back up towards the bed, but we seemed to trip over our own legs. Clumsily falling to the ground in a tangle of limbs. Derek broke away from my lips to begin kissing my throat which made me growl as Goosebumps popped up all over my body. His hands were pulling toughly at my top but he seemed to be finding the fabric infuriating as he couldn’t seem to pull it off. He suddenly grasped it and simply tore the fabric from my body throwing the strips aside. My bra he was less concerned with as it was strapless he simply yanked it down causing my breasts to spill out. Derek growled again though more savagely this time I glimpsed his eyes they had turned pure gold he was all animal right now. His lips locked on mine again as both his hands slid across my breasts gently massaging them his thumbs flicking across my n*****s. This was a way which I had never been touched before so I was surprised by the way it made a small sort of tingle shoot through my body. I gripped his shirt in both my hands and didn’t even bother trying to remove it properly I just tore it from him desperate to touch his skin. Derek was murmuring my name into my mouth as we continued kissing. If possible his erection seemed bigger than ever pressed savagely into my leg. He removed his lips leaving me panting slightly as he kissed a gentle path down to my breasts still gently sliding his fingers across them until his lips took over flicking lightning quick licks across my n*****s as I savagely grabbed fistfuls of his hair biting roughly into his shoulder.   His hands continued to slide down my bare stomach flicking under the waist band of my jeans before fumbling clumsily with the belt as he muttered into my stomach which he was lightly kissing and nuzzling into,

“God how I've ached for you for so long,” he groaned “so long.”

I began moving my leg slowly playfully rubbing it along the hard bulge in his jeans. Derek gave a moan of agony and bit down hard on my stomach, I gasped in a pain that wasn’t entirely unpleasant as he slid my jeans down over my hips. I struggled to sit up allowing myself to wriggle free of the denim, which was simply flung aside. Derek pulled me up to sitting on his lap straddling him the two of us still kissing as he gripped me tightly. I slipped my hands down working to open his jeans. Derek groaned lightly as his hands slid up my thighs.

“Wait.” I muttered removing my hands and trying to slide away from him.

“No.” Derek said gently kissing my neck one hand moved into the small of my back the other gently stroking my neck, shoulders, breasts, arms, waist. “I can’t wait any longer for you I wont survive another second.”

“Derek.” I said throatily the majority of me still wanting to stay there letting him Kiss me. As I knew what he was talking about I felt a sort of pull to him it was something that I’d never felt before nothing even close as if my entire body needed Derek needed his kisses his affection, it was as if this now was somehow fixing me sustaining me. But I could still feel it, something was wrong. He brushed the hair from my neck and continued with his kisses. I moaned and closed my eyes content whatever was wrong I would deal with later. Derek positioned both hands on my back sliding me in closer as I was pressed up against him suddenly my brain jammed and all rational thought disappeared without thought I pressed my hands against his chest and pushed him back with all my might causing him to go flying backwards as I tumbled off him and landed on may side scrunched up on my carpet twitching violently. my eyes widened in horror as I realised what was happening I hugged my knees into my chest trying to suppress my twitches as I felt the pain shooting through my limbs. I vaguely heard Derek curse and out of the corner of my eye I saw him push himself up smoothly as he pulled his gun out from the back of his jeans.

I awoke feeling groggy some time later, I didn’t have a clue how long it had been but I knew one thing the hard mattress I was lying on identified my location instantly; I was in the cage again. I groaned through the fog of half sleep as I lifted a hand to rub my head in a vague attempt to clear it.

“Morning.” A deep voice said I whipped my head around instantly regretting it as the sudden movement fogged my vision and by entire body lurched from pure lack of balance, as my vision cleared Darius came into focus as he stood just outside the cage smiling broadly.

“Is it?” I asked rubbing my head as I pushed myself up shakily to sitting.

“Just about.” He said sounding far too amused by the situation. “I’m afraid you’ve been out for almost twenty four hours Derek was a little late with the sedative so had to be very generous to knock you out.”

“He must have given me enough to floor an elephant.” I said vaguely.

“A wolf actually but when you were sedated you shifted back and so you were left with too much sedative in your system.” That wasn’t odd as I had no control over my shifts I had no control to change back either, apparently its achieved by a similar calm focus that inducing the shift requires which I seemed to achieve when I slept (or rather when someone stabbed me in the ass with a tranquilizer dart). Darius pointed to the top of my thigh which was marred by a large purple bruise.

“That’s rather high up there.” I mumbled rubbing the bruise lightly, it would heal soon now I was out of sedation but it was still tender at the moment.

“I wouldn’t be shy about that. Obviously as Derek saw your shift start you weren’t wearing anything, we found your clothes torn to shreds all over your bedroom floor not your jeans oddly enough they were still in one piece for some reason. It is odd like the fact that you managed to tear Derek’s shirt off before he took you down.” I felt my cheeks burn as I tried to ignore Darius’ playful mocking tone. I kept my head down stroking the bruise as if mesmerized by it although I suddenly noticed something which captured my attention; on my stomach there was what was clearly a large deep bite mark. I shut down my mind desperately wanting to shut out images of the previous night that tried to sneak into my mind, Derek kissing me, tearing at my clothes, grabbing my hair nibbling on my neck. My cheeks felt on fire as I tried not to notice Darius’ presence not an easy feat it’s hard to ignore your alpha. Besides we may not have had a traditional relationship but I still didn’t want to be thinking of things like that in front of my father. Darius smiled he had obviously seen this mark, Derek had been in my room and my clothes were in shreds around the room so he knew all too well what had occurred. Especially as he knew that I wouldn’t allow anybody to hurt me and more importantly neither would any of the boys, so that bite mark was a clear sign of what had happened. I couldn’t help but sigh wearily knowing that by now everybody probably knew about me and Derek’s little um… clinch.  Now in the cold light of day I know it wasn’t right but back then in that moment it had been just what I wanted didn’t need it I wanted it and I was completely powerless to stop it. But that didn’t mean he was my mate despite what everyone else seemed to think I didn’t think of him that way. And If he was my mate I was the one in the position to know it not the rest of them, although I seemed to be the only on who thought that.

“I’m afraid you slept through the majority of your birthday.” Darius continued calmly, “although it seems you and Derek managed to fit some celebrations in the few hours you were awake for.” I narrowed my eyes but knew that my glare didn’t have any chance of achieving the desired effect on Darius but it did at least make me feel a little better. Darius smiled,

“Derek said you seemed to sense your change coming long before he noticed.”

“He was busy.” I snapped before I could stop myself I instantly felt my cheeks burn but Darius took no notice of this,

“Even so usually the first few shifts tend to take the individual by surprise Derek knows the signs but he didn’t see them in you but you felt them so I think you’re ready to start learning to control it.”

“I've only had two shifts.”

“Yes.” Darius said with an odd note in his voice, was it pride? “So from now on when you feel a shift you will control and suppress it and from tomorrow we will begin trying to teach you how to initiate your change.” I frowned at that sure that initiating shifting my form from a human to a wolf wasn’t going to be a simple or pleasurable activity. “You will learn.” Darius said as if reading my mind. “Do you wish to come out you must be hungry and I believe Jamie is cooking steak.”
