The Merciless Alpha(erotica)

“WOOOOHOOOOOOOO!” It was amazing to be racing through the woods again. I held on as he followed the hard-packed dirt trail along the creek. We ran hard for about twenty minutes when he turned away from the stream, into a heavily wooded draw that ended at rocky cliffs. We stopped by a gate in the tall fence, meant to keep deer and pigs out. They could drink downstream.

At the bottom was a pool, deep and clear, surrounded by big boulders. A ten-foot waterfall splashed down from the rocky cliffside, and the sun turned the mist into a rainbow. “It’s beautiful,” I said as I hopped off.

I heard him shift behind me. “It’s spring fed, and cool even in the summer. Come on.”

“I need to put my suit on,” I said.

“Why? It’s just us, I’ve told everyone else to give us privacy,” he said. “Pull those sweaty clothes off and swim with me.”

With anyone but him I would have refused, but what would he see that he hadn’t already? He knew about the scars from the beatings, the burns from cigarettes and cigars. If he didn’t care, why should I? I pulled off the shirt and dropped the shorts, standing before Creation and my Mate in all my glory. “You’re so beautiful,” he said.

“You’re more than I dreamed of,” I said as I looked at him.

“Come on, we need to get some cold water on this before I take you farther than you’re ready for.” I blushed, because my body was starting to respond to him. If he took me as his right now, I wasn’t sure if I would resist.

He led me to the edge of one of the boulders, there wasn’t a real beach area, just rocks. “Shock treatment is best. To the right it’s shallow enough to stand, off the left edge it is over ten feet deep.” He walked me to the left corner of the huge boulder.

“Together,” I said. He smiled and we backed up a few steps, then he squeezed my hand and we ran forward and jumped. The water was a shock to my system, it was not cool, it was COLD. I swam up and shook me hair. “This is FREEZING!”

“Feels great, doesn’t it?” He floated on his back, kicking over to where the waterfall was splashing down. I followed him through it, and on the back side there was a little shelf of rock just above the waterline that he pushed himself up on. I swam to him and he lifted me up, spinning me to sit on his lap. His arms wrapped around me and he nuzzled my neck. “I love it here. No matter how hot the summer, it’s cool here.”

We sat there for a while, watching the water and talking about his home. When we got warm again, we’d swim, then lay out in the sun on the rocks. I’d missed that too, my pale skin and visible ribs a reminder of my treatment. “I’m getting better,” I said as I pinched my stomach. “I’m going to get better.”

“You are, I’ll make sure of it,” he said. “I know it won’t be easy, and I know you will have setbacks and episodes. I promise you I’ll be there for them, Tania. You’re not alone.”

I rolled on top of him, laying my head on his shoulder. “You’re my mate, Bobby. I don’t need a wolf to tell me that you’re mine, and I think I love you.”

“I love you, Tania.” He pulled me up his body, kissing me gently. I cupped his face with my hands as his wrapped around my back, and our tongues sought each other as the kiss deepened. We made out like teenagers for a long time. I wasn’t ready for sex yet, but I wanted to do something for him and the thing that had been poking me the whole time.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

I started kissing his neck and shoulders, pushing myself down until I was nipping at his nipples and running my tongue through his patch of chest hair. Continuing down, I settled between his legs and took stock of his manhood.

“You don’t have to do anything,” he said as he got up on his elbows to look down.

“It’s not like I haven’t done this hundreds of times, but this time I want to,” I said. “Let me love you.” He closed his eyes as my tongue licked up his length before circling the top. I smiled as he moaned and closed his eyes; I knew I was good, and I was going to use all I had learned on him. My right hand wrapped around his base, holding it up as I took the head into my mouth. My tongue swirled around the underside as I slowly took him deeper.

“Fuck, that’s nice,” he said as I slid down his length. He reached the back of my mouth and I swallowed against the gag reflex, taking him smoothly all the way to the base. I stuck my tongue out, lapping at the pebbled skin, then backed off and took a breath. I licked and sucked at the tip before again taking him deep. I knew he wouldn’t last, the poor man had a perpetual hard-on since before he even saw me, and I was right. “I’m close,” he said.

I looked up into his eyes and smiled. My hand jacked him as I hummed, the vibration enough to tip him over. I plunged down again, feeling his cock pulse as he shot rope after rope into my throat. I backed off, taking the rest in my mouth, then swallowed it and smiled. “You taste good,” I said.

“I could die a happy man right now,” he said before he collapsed back to the rock. “Give me a minute and I’ll return the favor.”

“After lunch,” I said. “You might be there a while.”

Talia’s POV

New Orleans Coven House

The fever finally broke after three days. His eyes opened and he recognized me. I was crying, this hadn’t been an easy time for me. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t eat, and my wolf and I hated we were the cause of his pain. I moved my hand over his damp face, pushing the hair aside. “Welcome back, baby,” I said.

“I love you, Talia, but don’t make me do this again,” he said as he cracked a smile. “I feel like shit.”

“You’ve looked better, my mate. Drink some fluids, you need it.” He drained three bottles of Gatorade as fast as I handed them to him. “Come on, let’s get you into the bath.” He groaned a little as I moved him; the change was on a DNA level according to what Jarrod had told me, and every cell in his body had been through the wringer. I had no trouble hauling him up to his feet, my strength was and order of magnitude greater than a human female of my size. He leaned on me as he stood for a moment before starting to move.

He stumbled, and quicker than you could see his hand shot out and went through the wall. “Focus on being smooth, your body is more than you remember. You’re going to have to relearn everything, first to control your body and later to unleash it.”

“I can see that,” he said. We moved into the bathroom, where the sunken tub was filled and the jets were on. Marcy had prepared it as soon as he started coming around. I helped him down into it before I pulled off my clothes and joined him. “Cold water is best for now, sorry.”

“I thought finally being mated would be the end of cold showers and baths, love.” He looked down in the water. “My body feels like it was run over, chewed up and tossed off a building. I can’t even think about sex now.”

“I’m not going to test that today, but I am looking forward to mating you again. I just hope your vampire speed doesn’t mean you finish in under a minute.” I looked up from where I was soaping up a cloth and saw the wolf in his eyes, plus the wildness of his vampire. He was gaining control with every passing moment, the pain leaving his body as the hybrid healing fixed him. By the time I had the two of us cleaned, he was moving without pain.

“I’m hungry and thirsty,” he said. “It’s like my throat aches.”

“It’s the start of bloodlust,” I said. “Your vampire nature is coming through. Our vampire part can come out in our human or wolf forms, just the teeth either way. The drive is more like what your wolf is wanting instinctually. Your wolf will need to integrate with him just like your human side will.”

He was starting to get cold, so I started draining the tub and got us some towels. He pulled me into his chest after we tossed the towels aside. “I love you, Talia. I told you I’d die for you, and now I’m like you. Two of a kind, the only pair in the world.”

“Not really,” I said. “Come on.” I led him out of the bathroom and we quickly dressed in athletic shorts and T-shirts. Leaving our room, I saw Jarrod standing outside Eduardo’s room. “How is she doing?”

“She’ll be coming out of it in about four hours. This will work well, we can train them together.” He opened the door and we looked past him; Erica was on the bed, her body covered in sweat as Eduardo wiped her with cool cloths. He closed the door again. “We’re set up in the garage. It’s four in the afternoon, so Malcolm is up there and will take care of everything.”

“Thank you, Jarrod. I’d never have all this without you,” he said.

“When he’s fed, we need to talk.” He went back to the main area, something was on his mind. He hadn’t said anything since Randall was bitten, but I’d barely listened to anything around me. I was too focused on tending to my mate.

I took Randall’s hand and led him upstairs, through the airlock setup and into the garage. Malcom was waiting for me; the garage had been emptied, and a sheep was standing in the far corner, looking for a way out. I could sense Randall’s wolf and vampire pushing forward; his teeth were changing, and his eyes were turning black. “Shift and feed,” I told him. “Embrace your true nature.”

He pulled off his clothes and shifted into his huge wolf. He was bigger than before, even more dangerous-looking. His teeth were showing; the only difference was his canines were a little longer than before. One moment he was by my side, then next his teeth were around the neck of the ram.

A wolf would rip the throat out, letting it bleed to death, but the vampire part fed differently. The venom paralyzed the sheep, and the long canines found the artery. He stood there for a minute, gulping down the warm blood. When the heart stopped, he tore out the throat and ripped open the belly.
