CHAPTER ONE
I have this big family in Chicago. They are a little upset at me for traveling around The United States. But I have found the most beautiful places where I can see myself living and having a family. But they will never allow me to move anywhere. See, we have this family business and I have to take it over when my father dies or tries to retire. Everyone around respects him or afraid of him. He’s the biggest gangster around, and he’s trying to teach me the ropes.
I am 5’3, blonde hair, small figure, and if you haven’t guessed I am a girl. I am my father's biggest disappointment because I am a girl. My mother died when I was 14, and she was pregnant with my little brother. She was shot in the head and I came home from school and found her on the floor covered in blood. I ran and slid over to her, grabbing her head and trying to see if she would move. I didn’t know how long I was there until my father pulled me off of her and cradled me to stop my crying. He kept asking me if I knew who did this, and all I could do is shake my head and say I found her like this.
After that day, something inside my father and I changed. He wanted me to protect myself and learn the business. I agreed, of course, but I made one command, and that was I wanted to see all around The United States. Because life is short, and I wanted to live it while I was young.
My dad had me homeschooled. My schedule was crazy. I got to learn how to shoot a hand gun, and a rifle. I was actually excellent at hunting, my father said, but I also had to learn how to fight. I woke up every morning to learn how to defend myself. I was getting stronger every day, and I was really impressed with it.
After about a year later, I turned 15 and my father allowed me one week off to venture out into the world. I had to take many body guards with me, but it was the best time of my life. We took our private jet and started in California and drove to the surrounding states. I got to the ocean, mountains, open areas, dessert, and I loved every minute of it.
I finally got back home, my father insisted I learn to be tortured. He did it because if I ever get captured, I won't speak. So for six months it was a new torture for me. I never thought my father would do this to me. I knew he wanted me strong and better than my mother. But everything burned, my body was always on fire. He cut me with silver knifes and my skin would burn. He whipped me until I passed out from the blood loss. He even laid me down on the table and pulled my finger nails off and my toe nails off, while he put a towel over my face and pored water on it. It was my worst nightmare. But he was creating his best weapon he will ever have.
My birthday came and then it was gone. Just another year training, fighting, shooting, learning the family business. Then again it was my birthday. I am finally 18 years old. My dad said I had my first mission while I was going on my trip and that I would be going alone. He gave me a letter with a photo in it. I was going to kill someone. I can kill animals all day long. It is easy for me. But this will be my first human kill. I learned that I would be going to Phoenix, Arizona. So I fly into Sky Harbor and order an Uber to take me to my Airbnb to get ready for tonight.
This guy I am supposed to kill is in his 40s, and he is always at a Gentleman's Club during the night. So why not show up and be dancer. FYI, it was one of my classes. I had to learn anything and everything. I figured out which strip club he would be in, and it’s a rich part of town in Scottsdale.
I go over there a little early to perform and see if I can catch his eye. I might be 18, but I have learned I can make people do what I want or need. I just have to look deep into their eyes and change what they are thinking to what I am thinking. My dad always told me that I got it from my mom and that I was really special and couldn’t wait till I was 18, so he could really use me. But anyway, I walk up to the bouncer and ask if he needs any extra dancers, and he looks at me up and down and moves to the side and I walk in. There were a few dancers here getting ready, so I decided to put on my leather bra and underwear with my high-heeled boots. I curled my long blond hair, and then I waited.
It was my turn to get on stage and I walked out like a model hitting the runway. Every man looking at me and I can feel their eyes all over my body while I walked over to the pole. The song I picked was Pour Some Sugar On Me. And I was walking to the beat and when I hit that pole and swung and went up it and dropped back down to my knees swinging my hair and moving my hips while touching my breast my eyes were searching for the man in the picture. I was scanning everywhere and finally in the private room I found him, and he was watching me. So I made eye contact and start to move my body up and my ass going in the air first towards him and when I stood tall I spanked my ass and walked off the stage. I was pretty sure he would want a private dance from me after that. He was like a dog in heat, drooling over my body.
I went back into the dressing room and the manager came in and pointed a finger at me and yelled at me. He said,” Did you forget to greet customers when you are done dancing? There is a man out there that wants a private dance from you”.
That’s when I knew, so I got up walked past the manager and there stood a body guard right in front of me. He grabbed me by the arm and took me to the private room where I knew this man was waiting. He pushed me into the room and I stumble for a minute and caught myself. I turned my head to the gentleman sitting, and he pointed a finger at me and motioned me to come near him.
So I did, and then he grabbed me and smelled me, not once or twice, but three times. I thought that was weird. But then he looked at me, not my body but looked at me in the eyes, and he spoke.
“Miss, how old are you? You are too young to be in a club like this?”
I didn’t answer him, and then I sat on his lap and started moving my hips back and forth. Something wasn’t right, he wasn’t getting attracted to me like I wanted him too. I couldn’t even get into his mind which was weird. Then I heard this growl behind me, and it made me jump because I have never heard something like that before, especially coming from a person.
I got off this man's lap and stood tall and turned around slowly. I see this 6’7 Giant man in front of me, breathing hard and ready to kill. It is too dark in here to actually see his face, but his arms were huge, and he looked like he hit the gym every day. I was in awe. My heart rate started to rise and the man behind me got on his knees and showed his neck like he’s being submissive.
The man on his knees spoke. “ Alpha, I am sorry, I didn’t know you were coming, or I would have brought my Alpha”.
This guy that he called Alpha didn’t speak, he walked over and snapped his neck. All I was thinking was that was easy, and I didn’t have to do it. But who was this guy. Also, he looked surprised that I didn’t scream and run away. Well if he only knew I am used to this s**t already and plus I was sent here to kill this guy, but now he’s dead, and I don’t have to deal with it. Now I can enjoy my vacation.
This Alpha guy comes up to me and grabs me by my waist, and he put his nose in my neck and also sniffs me. What is up with men smelling me, do I stink? I think to myself. And then he spoke, and I almost c*m just by hearing his voice.
“You are mine. You are my MATE! No one touches you but me. Do you get that pup?" He says to me.
So now I decided to talk because I was confused about what he said.
“What are you talking about, I am yours? What is a mate? And you are right, no one touches me unless I allow it. And who are you calling a pup, do I look like a dog?” I said.
He pulls back and looks at me from head to toe and backs up. He then takes off his jacket and puts it over me and grabs my wrist and books it out the back door, and he pushes me into the limo that’s waiting at the back entrance. He gets in and ask me where I was staying. I told him I was staying at an Airbnb in Scottsdale off of Shea BLVD. I give him my address without even thinking about it. But he doesn’t scare me, I actually feel safe with him, it’s a weird feeling.
We reach the destination in no time.
I get out of the limo and so does he and we enter this house and I turn on the lights and I finally spoke up and said, “I am going to go change and be right back out.” All I got was a nod from him. I went into the bedroom and changed and walked back into the living room and I froze. I looked at this man from head to toe and oh my god! He is so HOT! I shift a little, and he notices me staring, and he chuckles at me.
Alpha finally spoke. He said, “So now that you got a good look at me, how about some answers?” I just move my hands to tell him to keep going. “ What is your full name?” I then said,” I am Gracelynn Heart.” His eyes got big and then back to normal real quick. Alpha then said, “Who are your parents, and where are you from? Also, how hold are you?”
So many questions but ok I don’t mind answering as long as I get to look at him for a few minutes. Then I said,” My father is John Heart and my mother is Liza Heart. She passed away two years ago and my father is still alive. I am from Chicago, and I am 18 years old.”
Again, his eyes got big and stayed for a second longer, and then they changed to black and back to his baby blue eyes. I just sat there studying him, and I am not sure if I want to ask him a question or not.
But then he decided to speak up again. He said,” I know of your parents, never met your father though. Your mother though I have met a few times. She was my mom’s best friend. Now tell me why are you here in Arizona? Also, had your mother talked about me or my family to you?”
I said, “I am here on business and vacation. My business is finally over thanks to you, and my vacation can begin. And I am sorry I only know you as Alpha I don’t even know your name and how old you are I ask?”
Alpha’s POV
Wow! she called me Alpha. She isn’t afraid of death. I wonder if she would be afraid of us, my wolf is saying in my head. Yes I am an Alpha, and I am a werewolf. When I got out of my Limo earlier for my meeting, I smelled her. I had to fallow her scent, it was driving me crazy. I looked surprised when I saw the strip club, but I went in and walked in on her with another wolf. She was on his lap and I was livid. But she wasn’t scared. She should be. She smelled human, but now I know she’s only 18, and I know who her mother is. She has one year to know if she will have a wolf or not. Her business at the strip club has me worried about why she was there. But she has been telling me the truth, so I might as well also.
“I am Jacob Edwards. I am 20 years old.”
My turn again for a question, and I hope I get the right answer after this. “What was your business here?’
Gracelynn said, “For some odd reason I can't lie to you, and it makes me uncomfortable because I have been trained to not tell anyone my business. But I was here to kill that man at the club, but then you did it for me and the job is complete.”
Gracelynn then asked the hard question next. “What is a mate?”
I sat there for a minute and thought of what to say. I am an Alpha, for Goddess’s sake. I should know how to answer this, but when it's your own mate asking and I don’t know what to say because she doesn’t know about our world. My wolf just pleads with me to just tell her.
I then spoke to her and said, “I will tell you on your last day here if you really want to know. How long is your vacation?”
She spoke so happily next and said, “two weeks.”
Gracelynn POV
He looked sad for a moment. But then he sat on the couch and leaned back and stared at me. I then made a move and sat next to him. He was so warm and he smelled so good. Like fresh rain and lavender. He is just smiling at me like he’s enjoying me relax and lean into him, and I didn’t even mean to.
He then put his arm around my back pulled me closer to him, and he put his head in my neck and was breathing deep, and he was starting to relax. We didn’t have to say anything, it was like we knew we wanted to cuddle each other. I then turned the TV on and put on The Office and leaned my head on his shoulder. I fell asleep so quick and the next thing I knew I was being lifted and placed in bed and I grabbed his arm and asked him to stay with me. He nodded his head and got behind me and rapped me up in his arms and cuddled me all night. I felt so safe and there were no nightmares that night. I got full night sleep and it was amazing.
Waking up the next morning
I woke up the next morning, I was cold. He left, and I don’t even know when. I felt empty inside, like I was missing something. So I got up and went to the bathroom and was taking off my clothes when I heard a knock on the bathroom door. I opened it and It was Jacob. “Good morning”, I tell him. He scared the crap out of me, I thought he left. Stupid me, not even realizing I only had on my shirt and nothing else.
I noticed he was breathing heavy looking at my legs and then his eyes changed from that baby blue color to black. He then backed me up and my back hitting the counter. He touches the end of my shirt and lifts it above my head. I put my hands on his chest, and he is looking at me, memorizing my body. I am scanning every inch of his body and I noticed I am naked, and he is wearing too much clothing. Then, when I started unbuttoning his shirt, he growled in my ear, and turned me around.
I was never embarrassed of my scars. I always thought it made me stronger. Then he asked the question, "Who did this to you?"
I took a few moments on how to say these words. “I was trained for this. After my mother died, my dad made sure that I can handle myself and make sure I won't break. It is the best decision he made for me and it could save my life one day.”
He then leaned into my back and whispered in my ear and said, “I wish I was there to protect you. You shouldn’t have gone through this. There are ways of training, and this is absurd. But damn you are beautiful. Your legs and body. The scars make it just as hot.”
I moan after his last words because his hands are roaming around my body. I have never been with anyone like this. I don’t even know how to kiss. But he is doing something inside me that just turns in my stomach like a flutter. And when he puts his head in the air and sniffs, and he looks at me in the eye and smiles. Jacob says, “hmmmm. You are turned on, Gracie. Just for me. How do I make you feel? Tell me? I need to know?” Then he turns me around where he can stare at me and wait for my answer.
I have never stuttered in my life until today. He is making me so nervous that I can't think and speak straight. So I say,” You are making me whimper because you are creating butterflies in my stomach and my mind is racing of what to do but to be honest I have never done anything like this before, not even kiss a man. I don’t know what to do, and I definitely don’t know what my body is doing to me to make me feel this way?"
He then stopped roaming and looked at my face, and he knew I wasn’t lying to him, and he just put on this smirk and started to touch my collar bone going back and forth with his finger and then travels down south between my breasts and starts to circle one and then moving closer to my n****e still tickling. He then grabbed my n****e and pulled a little, and I moaned out load because I couldn’t help but want more.
Jacob’s POV
Oh, moon Goddess, you gifted me with the sweetest girl and I want her so bad, but I know I can't have her yet. But I can at least get a taste and make her satisfied. I can do that for myself and wolf as well. She has never been with a man. I can be her first for everything. This made my wolf and I happy.
I then heard her moan, and I almost came right then and there. I was just on her n****e and she was coming undone. I can't believe I am the first person to touch her like this. She is so perfect and her smell. Her arousal, I can't help it, I want more and need more.
I decided to tease her a little more, playing and tickling both n*****s and pulling. Her head is on the glass mirror and her eyes are shut from enjoying being touched by me. Her n*****s are so hard between my fingers that I want to bite them. But first I have to think. She has never been touched, which means she's never been kissed. Her head is still back and eyes are closed, so I put my lips to her neck and she got goose bumps and moaned again. So I was tickling her and traveling my lips to her jaw line, and then I grabbed the back of her head and slammed my lips to hers, and it started out slow at first, and then I put my tongue in between her lips hoping she would open, and she did. I stuck my tongue in her mouth. She fallowed every move I was doing. We were dancing just with our tongues.
Her eyes got wide when I pulled back from her lips a little because my hand went to her core, it was hot and wet for me. She couldn’t talk, that I know. Her mind was racing, I can see it with her eyes going back and forth thinking about what I was going to do next. So I had to do the right thing and finish her off and give her, her first orgasm. So I put my knee in the middle of her legs and hit both of her knees, so she would spread her legs for me. Once she did that, I put my middle finger between her folds and got my finger nice and wet before I put my finger in her. She was panting at this point, I know she wants more. So once I put my long finger in her and pushed it all the way in she gasped, and I captured her lips with mine. She started to moan in my mouth. “That’s right baby, moan for me.” I spoke in her mouth and she couldn’t keep up with kissing me as I was going in and out of her. I moved my lips under her ear and started kissing her and sucking hard, leaving my mark on her.
Gracelynn then spoke and said, “Please, Jacob. The pressure… I. Need. A. Release…Jacob.” She’s panting with every word, and I spoke in her ear and said, “As you wish, baby.”
I pumped my finger harder, and then I added a second finger and rubbing my palm on her c**t. I whispered into her ear again and said,” Baby, you are so tight, you are getting tighter around me. I can't wait to fully be inside you, c*m for me now, baby.” Then as I planted a kiss to her neck where I plan to mark her in the future she came in my hand and let me tell you it made me want more and had my wolf on cloud 9.
As she started to come back and as she opened her eyes, I took my two fingers out of her and sucked on them right in front of her. Her mouth dropped open in awe. She tastes so good that I couldn’t just have that lick off of my fingers. I wanted to lick all of her juices off of her p***y and thighs. I then grabbed her hips and put her on the counter and got on my knees. I put my hands on her thighs to spread her once again, and she got nervous and tried pushing me away.
I looked up at her and smiled and said,” Gracie baby, do you trust me? I promise you this will feel ten times better, you will love it.” I felt her relax, and she opened up wider for me. I thought to myself, that’s my girl.
I kissed her inner thighs first and then when I felt the wet spots, that’s when I started to lick and going to town on her p***y once again. I couldn’t get enough. I needed her to c*m in my mouth. I wanted all of her. As I’m sucking and licking between her beautiful lips I put my thumb on her click and started to go in circles and then out of nowhere I was vibrating with my mouth with a growl, and she came instantly from that. There was so much c*m that I licked her dry. I want that snack every day of my life, I thought to myself as I was getting off of my knees, and my wolf couldn't agree more. She is still panting on the counter and her head is resting on the mirror behind her.
I took off my clothes quickly and turned on the shower to hot. I then grabbed her legs and pulled her legs around my hips, and she looked up at me scared for a second. I reassured her and said,” You don’t have to worry. We aren’t having s*x until we are both ready. But I do want to take a shower with you and wash your body and take care of you.”
