“And that’s the exact reason why your wolf is dominant, Bliss! Because you were able to survive being near death, and I don’t want you to taint yourself because of revenge!”
“Honestly, Kellan, you don’t really have a say in what I do or don’t do. You’re not my alpha, and I’m not ready to mate with you.” Bliss’ wolf howled on the inside at her words, but Bliss stood firm. Kellan glared at her, the vein under his eye ticking.
“Kellan!” Gabe came rushing from his tent and towards Kellan and Bliss. He was out and breath and looked frazzled.
“What’s the matter?” Kellan asked turning his attention to another pack member.
“Gemma is begging for relief of the heating cycle. She said she doesn’t care who it is, she just can’t take it anymore. Me and Gina talked. You are the alpha. We don’t mind going to traditional ways of things. We just want Gemma to get some relief.”
“Gabe, she has a mate. She already claimed him. Maybe if I talk to Tristan, he will take care of it.”
“If he wanted to, he would have. Kellan, Gemma is one of your wolves. She needs help that I can’t give to her. As the alpha, we need you to do something.”
“Are you proposing that Kellan have sex with Gemma?” Bliss asked.
“It’s the only way to help her,” Gabe said. Bliss looked at Kellan sharply.
“You surely can’t be thinking about doing it!” Bliss said.
“As a matter of fact, Gabe has a point. I’m her alpha. I should take care of her. I mean, it’s not like I have a mate or something,” he said looking Bliss up and down. Her jaw dropped as he cut his eyes at her and walked off with Gabe talking quietly. Bliss felt her wolf eyes ignite in her eye sockets. That pain in her abdomen struck again, but she just growled and went to join the others to train.
Rita and Jaxson were squaring off when she reached the side of the cabin where they were using the large empty space. Bliss growled and pushed Rita out of the way, ready to square up to Jaxson.
“What the fuck, Bliss?” Rita snapped as she fell to the ground. She was ready to get up and get in Bliss’ face, but Bliss snarled at her and radiated her dominant vibes down on Rita. Being the less dominant, Rita’s wolf immediately was dismissed, and Rita looked down, a sign of submission.
“Bliss, you need to relax,” Jaxson said, seeing her obvious anger. Her wolf eyes were present and didn’t look to be going away any time soon, but instead of calming down, she swung at him ready to fight. Jaxson ducked.
“We’re supposed to be training, not just fighting!” He tried to protest, but Bliss was far gone. She spoke no words, only growls and grunts coming out of her mouth. She was swinging at Jaxson trying to hit him with all her might. Jaxson avoided her fists, and that further angered her.
Bliss was filled with a fury she couldn’t even describe. Her wolf was slowly taking over, and her human mind was receding to the back. Her rational brain knew that after what she said to Kellan, she shouldn’t have expected a better response. She had said those things to make a point, and the anger in his eyes told her that she had upset him, but that was the reality of the situation in her view, but her wolf, however, was not pleased. She wasn’t pleased with Bliss, and she was not pleased with Kellan attempting to have sex with another woman. She felt like she was losing her mate, and it was making her feral. All the control Bliss had over the animal snapped. Seeing Jaxson, all Bliss wanted to do was claw his eyes out and howl to express her anger. The carnage in her mind was what drove her to attack anyone near her. She lashed out at Jaxson again trying to take him down. He evaded her attack, grabbed her by the wrists, and used her own momentum to drag her down to the ground. She fell hard but quickly got on her hands and knees and leapt up at him. He used her momentum again, flinging her back to the ground and avoided actually a fight her.
“Bliss, cut it out!” He snarled at her. On the ground again, she was on all fours breathing heavily. Her curly tresses hid her face, so Jaxson wasn’t sure if she was actually getting calm or if she was still in her fighting mode. He looked at Rita and Kyra warning them with his eyes not to get close to her. He crept up to her slowly.
“Bliss?” He reached out to her. She snapped her head up and snarled at him. She spit blood out of her mouth along with her human canine teeth. When humans were turned and they shifted for the first time, they lost their human canine teeth, and were replaced by their wolf canines, but at the present moment, she shouldn’t have been losing her teeth, because if she was, that meant she was going to shift, and without the power of the moon, the shift was going to kill her, and if the alpha lost his mate to a shift, he was going to go rogue. Jaxson hadn’t backed away from her because he was trying to look into her mouth. She lashed out again but stopped short as she howled in pain.
Another searing pain ripped through her abdomen. She felt her breasts swell and her nipples harden. She held her stomach as it felt like her uterus was about to take life and walk straight out of her stomach. Jaxson’s eyes popped out of his head. He backed away from her as her arousal triggered his wolf. She was in heat, and as a male wolf, there was but so much he could do to fight the natural response of his body.
“Go!” He shouted at Kyra and Rita. With Gemma still pulsing heat waves, he couldn’t afford for the other two females to be affected. All hell would break loose. Bliss continued to snarl and growl at him as her body was racked with pain. Her muscles began to shift under her skin.
“Fuck! KELLAN!” Jaxson shouted. He had no idea where Kellan was to begin with, but he didn’t hear the alpha respond to him. The only thing that would garner his attention from wherever he was, was a howl from a pack member. Jaxson looked up to the sky and let out a shrill howl just before Bliss jumped onto him.
********
Kellan was highly upset with Bliss, but he’d only said what he said to piss her off. Even if he could, Kellan didn’t want to have sex with another female. In Gemma’s case, no matter how much she wanted the relief, Kellan couldn’t have sex with her. He wasn’t going to disrespect Tristan like that. Whether Tristan wanted to accept it or not, Gemma was his mate, and he wouldn’t appreciate Kellan being intimate with her. Kellan had a plan in mind however to take care of Gemma. It was unorthodox, but he had no other choice. In his hand, he had some items he’d retrieved for her earlier in a bag.
In her tent, her heat waves made him pause. He took several deep breaths. Thankfully, the tent was large enough for him to stand, and he had enough space, so he didn’t have to get close to her.
“We’ll leave,” Gina said seeing Kellan.
“No, that won’t be necessary. I know I came here, but I can’t agree to having sex with her. You saw who she declared at her mate.”
“But--” Gina was ready to argue, but with a simple wave of his alpha vibes, she quieted.
“As her alpha, of course, I need to do everything in my power to see to it that she doesn’t suffer. What I’ve thought about is extremely unorthodox, something we wolves have never considered, or well, anything that she-wolves have considered, but it’s very popular with human females.” Kellan went into his bag and pulled out the vibrator and the silicone dick he’d purchased from a human store. The females there raved about how the silicone dick rotated and vibrated. Kellan knew about sex toys; he just didn’t get the appeal of it. As a shifter, he didn’t know any woman who’d rather a plastic dick than the real thing, but in Gemma’s case, if the vibrator was going to make her have a release, it was going to start to dim her heating cycle. If she stayed like this, she was going to be in heat for a few more days.
“You wanna put that damn contraption to use on my daughter?” Gabe gasped.
“It’s the only option right now, Gabe. I did some research, and it won’t hurt her.”
“Well, how the hell does she even use it?”
“I’ve got that covered.” Kellan sniffed the air and smelled Tristan lurking just outside of the tent. Kellan excused himself, and as he thought, Tristan was standing in front of the tent
with his arms crossed and his jaw tight.
“Did you fuck my mate, Kellan?” He snarled, his wolf eyes glowing.
“No,” Kellan answered calmly. “But are you?”
“I can’t,” he said lowly. Kellan wasn’t sure what the deep-rooted issue was, but he wasn’t going to press it. He shoved the toys at Tristan.
“I bought them to help her.” He turned on the vibrator. “Apparently, if you press this against her clit, she’ll cum, and if you’re not going to have sex with her; at least respect her enough to do something that can actually help her.”
“Look, I’m not--”
“Hey, I’m not making a fucking suggestion. Your alpha is telling you to go in there and take care of Gemma. That’s an order. I don’t wanna pull this card, Tristan, but you’re forcing my hand. Do what I said.” Kellan was radiating his dominant pulses at Tristan. The wolf backed down, but he didn’t cower. Tristan wasn’t a submissive wolf. Kellan didn’t expect him to cower and didn’t want him to, but even a dominant wolf knew when to answer to and respect their alpha. With a curt nod, Kellan walked away leaving Tristan standing in front of the tent. He wasn’t but five feet away when he heard a howl. He stopped in his tracks as he felt the power of his wolf take over. He had no choice but to let his wolf come out. In a rush of power, he shifted into his animal and ran hard towards the outcry of his pack member.
Reaching the clearing on the side of the cabin, Kellan saw Jaxson and Bliss rolling around. He could hear Bliss snarling and scratching at Jaxson, and he was just trying to fend her off. The vigorous power of a wolf in heat hit Kellan like a brick wall. Kellan couldn’t believe what he was seeing--an aroused but rogue pre-shifter. Besides the pain of being in heat, Bliss didn’t look affected by it. She was in a rage that wasn’t helped by also being in heat. Kellan howled to get her attention. She snapped her head up and turned to him. She smacked Jaxson in the face and began crawling towards Kellan. She was acting like her wolf, but she hadn’t shifted. Her muscles, however, were moving under her skin. If he didn’t calm her down, she was going to shift, and she wouldn’t survive it.
Seeing her mate, Bliss’ wolf wanted nothing but to emerge to confront him about what he’d been doing with Gemma. She growled at him and advanced towards him.
You dare bring your slimy ass back here after fucking another woman? She growled into his head. Well there was the trigger. It just happened that Gemma’s heating cycle affected her as well.
You’re the one that doesn’t want to be mated to me, Bliss, and now you’re fucking angry at something? Get over yourself. You need to calm the fuck down before you kill yourself. Her wolf sent dominant vibes towards Kellan. He realized Bliss’ emotions were still part of the whole ordeal, but it was the wolf that was in control, and being in his wolf form was going to make his mate even angrier. Kellan shifted back to his human form so he could possibly get in touch with Bliss’ human side, but he was wrong on that note. Seeing him shift back, angered Bliss.
Don’t hide now! Bring the wolf back to face me!
“No can do. Let Bliss come back so we can talk.” Bliss growled at him. “Aye, you know you can’t come out, and if you do, you know you’re gonna kill her, so calm the fuck down and let Bliss come back out.” But instead of calming down, she leapt into midair in attack mode. Kellan braced himself and caught her in his arms. As she tried to bite at him, he saw her human canine teeth had fallen out.
“Shit.” He grunted. Despite her fight, he managed to get her into a bear hug. He bit down into her shoulder to implement his dominance over her, but being she was dominant herself, she only tried to bite him back. Holding her as tightly as he could, he headed towards the cabin. Rita and Kyra were nowhere to be seen, and that was probably because they knew to get as far away from a wolf in heat as possible, so Kellan was actually able to bring Bliss up to his room and be alone with her.
“Stop it.” Kellan gritted as she tried clawing his eyes out. He let her out of the bear hug and the bite. She began swinging at him and even caught him a couple of times with her claws. He wanted her to get as much of her anger out as possible to tire her out and eventually calm her down. When she did begin to tire, Kellan had scrapes and cuts that were healing over. He grabbed onto her wrists and brought her close to him.
“I didn’t sleep with her.” He growled. “Hear my truth.” She stopped fighting and looked at him, breathing heavily.
“Use your senses, Bliss. Do you smell her on me?” Bliss immediately dug her head into his neck and sniffed hard. His intoxicating scent filled her nostrils and crept all over her body, wrapping her in a warm blanket. Her wolf began to back away, being content that he wasn’t betraying their mating bond. It seemed the minute her anger truly receded, she felt the pain of her heating. She cried out and ripped herself away from Kellan. She fell to the ground, grabbing her stomach. When he tried to reach for her, she smacked his hands away.
“Don’t touch me!” She growled.
“Bliss, let me help you,” he said.
“No!”
“Don’t be so fucking hard headed. You don’t wanna mate me, fine, but I’m not going to let you sit there in pain.”
“Yeah, right! You just want to fuck me because you think I’ll fall in love with your big dick!” She accused. “Get Jaxson, let him fuck me! I won’t have to worry about catching no feelings.” Even though she said she didn’t feel anything for Jaxson, Kellan still growled. He glared at her for a moment.
“Don’t fucking gro--” Bliss let out a screech as her uterus contracted. It felt she like she was about to have a fucking baby! Her clit felt like it weighed a thousand pounds and didn’t fit in her panties anymore.
“Get up.” Kellan gritted. Bliss waved him off as she groaned in pain. She tried crawling away so she could get to the bed and curl up into a fetus, but she didn’t make it far. Kellan had a hand wrapped around her ankle holding her in place. He dragged her towards him, then bent down to pick her up.
“I mean it, Kellan, don’t fucking touch me!” But he didn’t listen. As the contractions seared through her stomach, she fought Kellan’s hold. In the back of her mind, she just knew if he entered her, she was going to roll over like a lovesick puppy.
“No, don’t!” She protested. But her pleas were stifled by her howls of pain. Now, she understood what Gemma was feeling. It was as if she was being ripped from the inside out.
“I’m your mate.” Kellan growled pushing her face first against the wall. “I won’t let you go through the pain of this. Not while I can help you.” Kellan was already naked from his shift, and her pulsing heat waves kept him erect. He clasped her wrists in one hand and held it above her head. She was still trying to fight him, snarling and trying to bite at him. He growled into her ear before latching onto her shoulder, digging his teeth in enough to exert his dominance in a way that would make her submit. Now that she wasn’t in a rage, being in heat would make her react to anything remotely seductive, so when he sunk his teeth into her flesh, she shivered and moaned.
I’ll take care of you, he said into her mind. With his free hand, he rubbed his aching tip along her folds. She was hot to the touch and saturated with the product of her arousal.
Bliss gasped as he slowly entered her. Her body literally went lax against the wall. The excruciating pain burst into pleasure as he continued to fill her up. There was no pain like when she was with Maverick. Kellan was thicker than anyone she ever had, and yet, it was the perfect fit. Her legs shook as he began to stroke her. His small hoop piercing in his dick glided against her walls, and interestingly enough, added more pleasure. Her walls gripped at him, aching and pleading for more. Kellan released his teeth from her shoulder and licked her wound, making it heal faster, then his lips went to her neck, giving her tantalizing kisses as he thrust into her evenly.
“Fuck.” She gasped. “It feels so fucking good.” He only grunted in agreement as he clasped his hand around the front of her neck, choking her seductively. White lights shot off behind h
er eyes as her orgasm barreled through her. She screamed out and bucked against Kellan as her orgasm shook her to the core.
Kellan punched the wall in front of them. The feeling of his mate cumming on his dick sent waves of pleasure to his senses. She was tight but filled with bundles of nerves that needed to be worked out. Kellan pulled her down from the wall and onto the ground. He pulled out of her for only a minute, but in that minute, she screamed in pain as her stomach was racked with cramps from her heating. He rolled her onto her back and entered her quickly. Her screams of pain turned into cries of pleasure. He pressed her legs against her chest and braced himself on the back of her thighs. He rose up as if he was doing a push up and began thrusting his hips forward, filling her guts at an even pace. As Kellan looked down at her pleasure filled expression, he felt his canines elongated in his mouth, dropping until they were past his bottom lip. The urge to bite her deep enough to mark her raged through his core, but even if they were mates, he wasn’t going to mark her when she was still apprehensive about their mating. Being marked by your mate was permanent, and nothing would change that except death. Kellan would hate to have his mark on a woman who would regret it.
He just had to fight back that urge as he continued to stroke her swollen insides. Juices were spurting out of her as he fucked her deeper and deeper. This connection to her body was nothing like he’d ever felt when he had sex with other women. He fit inside her perfectly, her walls were slurping him back inside every time he pulled out before he slammed back into her. Bliss felt her gums pulsing as if teeth were growing in, but she knew they weren’t going to come in yet, but watching Kellan stroke her, and feeling the powerfulness of his fucking, all Bliss could think about was marking him. She didn’t know what it even meant, but she just wanted him to be hers, or well, that’s what her wolf wanted. Her claws had burst through her fingertips. She couldn’t help but drag her nails down his arms, then she went for his chest. He shifted, putting his knees on the ground and spreading her legs wide, holding them at the crook of his arms. In that position, he leaned forward until her legs touched her chest. When he thrust into her deeply, she could feel him in her guts.
