She nods, agreeing with me. “Cute little nuggets probably won't even get to trick or treat with the way the weather is looking.”
The dark clouds have been rolling in all day and finally look like they are about to let loose. “Probably right. At least they got to do the shops.”
It was cute watching all the kids, dressed up and walking up and down Main Street with their parents. Even some of the moms and dads dressed up with them. It made me long to have my own family. Dominic flashes through my mind, making my body heat.
“What with the basket then?” I ask, trying to keep my mind off him. I take off my apron, folding it up and putting it under the counter.
“It’s a delivery,” she says simply, like we do those around here.
“We don’t do deliveries.”
“Well, the old bakery did, so I just thought…” She bites her lip like I might be upset, but a delivery means someone local is making the order, and I’ll take all the local customers I can get.
“It’s fine. Do you have an address?”
Reaching into her pocket, she pulls out a piece of paper and hands it to me.
“I’m really sorry about this.” I see the worry in her eyes over something that isn't that big a deal.
“It’s fine. Not like I have anything better to do tonight. Speaking of, shouldn’t you be heading out of town? I thought that was your plan.”
“Yeah, you’re right. I do have somewhere I need to be.” She grabs a hold of me, pulling me into a tight hug. “He’d never hurt you, never you,” she whispers into my ear. She doesn’t have to say his name for me to know who she’s talking about.
She pulls away, heading out the front door. I follow behind her, relocking it. It starts to rain as Gwen darts across the street.
I pick up the basket from the counter and place it in the kitchen, and I hurry upstairs to get my purse and car keys. Stopping, I grab my red hooded cape to protect me from the rain. I can use it shield the basket too. Slipping it on over my shoulders, I tie it around my neck before pulling the hood up.
I make my way back downstairs and grab the basket. I head out the backdoor, securing it before I slip into my car. I enter the address into my GPS, and I see the house isn’t far away, but it looks like it’s off the beaten path. It’s all alone in the woods, so maybe it’s just a house with a lot of land. Maybe they are having a Halloween party or something.
I pull out onto a now completely empty Main Street, and the rain starts to pour as I hit the country highway, making it hard to see. It causes the drive to be longer than it should. The rain eases off when I finally hit the turn off. I’m sure it will start up again any second, so maybe I can do the delivery before I get poured on.
I make the turn, going from a paved, smooth surface to a rough, gravel path. Before I can react, my tires slip. The ditch grabs my back wheel, pulling me off the driveway. I grip the wheel and try to push the accelerator, but my car’s tires are pretty puny, and they just kick up the muddy water while spinning in place.
“Well, shit.”
I can see the house with my headlights, and it only looks to be about a mile away, sitting at the end of the road, nestled in front of a bunch of trees. Looking around, I notice everything is surrounded by trees; I’m completely in the woods. I grab my purse and utter a few choice words when I see I don’t have any service on my phone. I don’t have much of a choice, so to the house it is. Even if it’s down the long scary gravel road surrounded by a dark forest.
The sun has fully set by now, so I need to get a move on. Maybe once I give them their cookies, they can give me a ride back to town, or maybe they have a truck that could pull me out. I really don’t think it would take much, just one good tug.
Grabbing the basket, I slip from my car, putting my hood back over my head. I make it about halfway down when I start to hear the crackle of sticks. Someone is walking through the woods, crushing them beneath their feet. I stop and try to see what’s making the noise, but with the sun gone and the dark clouds, I can’t make out much.
I hear a growl to my right, followed by another snapping twig, making my heart jump in my chest. When the howl sounds from my left, panic truly sets in, and I start running for the house. My heart pounds in my chest, and I look behind me as I run, seeing a white wolf on my tail. It makes me run faster than I ever thought I could, and as I hit the front porch, I pray the door is unlocked. Relief hits me when I grab the handle. It turns. I burst through, nearly falling inside. I manage to turn, slamming it behind me and pressing myself against the door.
Suddenly, I hear the sound of a lock latching into place from the outside. I slowly turn and test the knob. It moves, but a deadbolt is holding the door shut. I see the lock all the way at the top of the door. Who puts a deadbolt that high, and why would you lock someone into your home and not out of it?
Another growl sounds, and this time it’s from inside the house, making me freeze in place. I drop the basket from my hand.
“I’m sorry, Ruby, we had no choice,” I hear Gwen’s voice from outside.
“Gwen! There’s a wolf out there!” I shout to her.
That’s when I realize there’s one in here too.
Chapter 8
Dominic
Mine.
I watch as Ruby slowly turns around and faces me, her red cape covering some of her face, but I’d know her scent anywhere. The mating moon is full, and it’s time I claimed my mate.
Having her near me calms my beast, and I’m able to think clearly. I remember Gwen drugging me, and I have flashes of Stone bringing me here to my home. I must have slept for a few hours because when I woke, it was nighttime, and I could smell Ruby was near. I began pacing the room, hearing her come closer and closer. I could feel the other wolves outside, Gwen and Stone leading her to me, so I waited for her to come. Now that I have her with me, we can mate, and I can mark her fully as mine.
I take a step towards her, still in my wolf form. Our wolves are larger than the average wolf, about triple the size of a normal one. I move slowly so she sees my intentions, and I watch for her reaction.
I can hear her heart beating rapidly, but I don’t smell fear. She must recognize my eyes because they glow the brightest silver when I’m fully shifted. When I get to about a foot away from her, I bow my head low, showing her I won’t hurt her. I need for my mate to trust me and let her body realize what I am to her.
After a moment of hesitation, I feel her fingers in the thick gray fur on the back of my neck.
“Dominic?” she whispers, and my wolf lets off a soft growl of pleasure, leaning in to her touch.
Her other hand joins the first and she rubs my neck, feeling my body. I press my face against her, feeling her warmth embrace me. The mating heat is taking over, and I smell the beginning of her desire.
“Dominic, what’s happening?” She doesn’t sound afraid, just overwhelmed. “What’s going on with me?”
I step away from her touch, and she follows me. We are in the middle of the cabin living room, but someone must have moved the furniture out as a precaution. There are big thick blankets laid out on the floor and a fire going in the fireplace. The only light is the orange glow coming from the hot embers, making the room feel like a cave.
Once we are near the fire, I hold my wolf and begin to shift. The only reason he’s letting me do this is because we want to mate her, and I have to be in human form to do it. I’ll still have him in the front of my mind, and a lot of me still won’t completely shift. As I feel the change start, I watch as Ruby pulls the hood back from her head to see what’s happening.
I still don’t smell fear on her, just a growing desire as I change. I can feel my canines are long and pointed, and my nails are still sharp. My eyes are glowing, and my thick, gray, wolf hair still covers my body. When I’m as transformed as I’m going to be, Ruby looks me up and down. Her gaze pauses on my cock, and she puts her hands over her mouth when she sees it.
I look down and see that it’s big
ger than usual. I’m bigger to begin with—having a ten-inch cock outside of mating heat—but now that the mating moon is up, it’s much larger.
“Your body will take me when I mark you.” My words come from deep in my chest, my wolf still close to the surface.
She doesn’t say anything, just nods and moves her hands from her mouth to the ribbon of her cape, untying it.
I growl with need as the cape drops to the floor, and I see her slipping off her shoes. She reaches down to the hem of her knit dress, pulling it up and over her head. She stands there in only panties, and it’s all I can do to stay in my skin. Her breasts are full and heavy with need. When I breed her, they’ll be dripping milk every time the moon is full. The thought has my mouth watering. Her thick curves look so soft and will cushion my thrusts when my wolf and I are inside her. I want to push her down and mount her, but if I touch her, I will lose the hold I have on my wolf. The mating heat is pulling us together, and I’m desperately trying to control it.
“Can you feel that?” Ruby’s words are breathy, and there’s a slight moan to them. She’s being taken over by the mating moon, and her desires are growing. “I feel like I’m going to…to…God, I don’t know. Please.”
She slips off her panties, standing naked in front of me, and I start shaking. As she’s human, I never imagined her body would need my body like mine needs hers, but it seems nature has taken over. I close my eyes tightly for just a second, burning the image of my goddess mate into my memory.
With all the control I have, I go to the ground and lie on my back, arms and legs stretched out. My cock juts straight up, and it’s nearly purple with need as I offer myself to her, letting her know we will be submissive to her if she wants, to show her we’ll never hurt her, to show her she owns us.
My wolf whines in pain, but I try to keep him calm. Ruby is human, and our first mating can’t be like the mating of normal wolves. Usually, the male mounts the female, sinking his teeth into her neck from behind. My mate is more delicate, and she will need to be in control the first time.
Ruby must sense what her body is telling her. She walks over to me and stands beside my body, which is laid out just for her. I can smell her desire and see it glistening down her thighs in the firelight—evidence that the mating moon wants our bodies to bond.
She lifts one foot, stepping over my body and straddling my hips. In this position, she has opened her thighs to me, and I can see her dripping cunt swollen with need.
“I don’t know what’s happening to me, but I need you, Dominic, more than anything,” she says, standing over me in a dominant position. Instead of fighting it, I turn my head to the side, exposing my neck. After only a second, I see her start to lower herself onto me.
I look up and lock eyes with my mate as her wet opening kisses the head of my cock. When the thick tip is at her entrance, our bodies take over, knowing what to do.
Feeling her warm wet cunt against the tip of my cock is pure heaven. I’ve waited my whole life for her, and finally having her, having my mate, is paradise.
I hold myself still as thick jets of cum start to pulse from my cock. The orgasm is the first I’ve ever had, and it’s hard and fast. It’s barely enough to take the edge off, but I need to just give her enough to help her heat take over. I haven’t breeched her, but I know that my cum contains healing properties, which will soothe her body. If I give her some of my cum now, her mating heat will fully take over, and her body will accommodate my size. When wolves mate, it’s rough, and her human form wouldn’t be able to take it. She needs to have my semen inside her on the mating moon in order for her to mate with me. She’ll take on some of our traits and be able to breed with me.
When I’ve finished giving her some of my cum, I close my eyes and howl. It’s loud and satisfying, and as I let it out, Ruby drops down on my cock, fully taking me into her.
Her little body opens up and takes all of my cock as I break through her virginity and claim her as my one and only mate. She leans down on top of my chest, gripping my hair in her hands. I look into her eyes and see they are glowing, her mating heat taking over. There’s no gentle love-making between wolves; there’s only deep, rough passion. She starts to ride me hard, grinding down against the base of my cock and rubbing her clit on me.
She grits her teeth, and I can see her canines are longer. Her rough treatment of my body turns on my wolf even more. He wants to flip her over and claim her, but she needs to cum like this. She’s still human for the most part, and I need to mark her while she cums.
I feel my cock cumming inside her again, and I howl at the sensation of filling her unprotected womb. The thought of breeding her with my pups consumes me, and I thrust up into her harder, getting more cum inside her.
She leans back and puts her palms on my thighs. I watch her big tits bounce as she rolls her hips back and forth on my cock. I reach up and pinch her nipples, and her cunt clenches on my dick. Her pussy is so tight and hot that I can’t control anything, and I cum inside her again, pumping cum up in her as she keeps riding me. At this point my semen is overflowing and running down my dick, making a creamy mess between us.
I reach down to where we are connected and swipe some of it up, holding it to Ruby’s mouth. She needs as much of my cum inside her as possible to make the mating heat bond strong. She looks at my fingers, and as if sensing what to do, opens her mouth and sucks them clean. Her eyes glow bright green and I can tell she’s getting close.
I feel myself cumming again as she finishes sucking my fingers clean, and my jaw aches with the need to mark her. It’s time. I can feel it.
Ruby leans forward again, this time laying her body on top of me as I thrust inside her from below. She hovers right over my mouth, and I lick my lips, inviting her kiss. When her lips touch mine, I’m overpowered by the urge to mark her. I break away, moving my mouth to where her neck and shoulder meet, holding my sharp teeth there.
“Please, Dominic. Please,” she moans, and I thrust hard one last time, emptying my cock again, and I feel her pussy clenching me, cumming at the same time.
As her orgasm hits her, I sink my teeth in just enough to taste her blood and let my saliva mix with it, mating her for life and marking her as mine.
When I pierce the skin and feel her climax, she lets out a moan that turns into a howl, her new traits taking over. She’ll never be a full shifter, but she’ll be as close to one as she can be without shifting.
As she comes down, and she begins to relax against me, my wolf growls with need and flips us over. I feel more fur starting to cover my body, but I’m still holding on enough not to change. I thrust hard inside my mate, and my wolf snarls.
It’s his turn now.
Chapter 9
Ruby
I feel a burning in my blood. It’s as if I’m on fire, but I love the feeling. Dominic is inside me, but suddenly he pulls out and flips me over, like I weigh nothing more than a feather. He pulls my ass up in the air. I’m taken by surprise and start to panic, but once I feel him thrust hard into me again, the fear settles. The only thoughts that seem to keep running through my mind are of having him inside me and breeding with him.
When I turned around in the cabin and saw the huge wolf, I wasn’t afraid. The fear I had felt dropped away. Something inside me started to warm, and I felt like things were falling into place. It was as if I had waited for this moment my whole life, and finally it had arrived.
A sane person would question everything and want answers, but instead I let my body guide me. I knew I could trust Dominic, and when I saw him change and motion for me to join him, I went without hesitation.
He’s my fate, my destiny, and why wouldn’t I want the feeling inside me to continue? It’s as if I’m bound to him tighter than I’m bound to my own body. We’ve become one, and I see now that this was what he was waiting for.
I lower my head to the soft blankets and spread my legs further apart. I want him to have every inch of me and breed me as much as he can. I re
lax as he thrusts hard, opening my body for him. I embrace each thrust, welcoming his semen inside me. This is how we are mated and how everyone will know I’ve been claimed. I don’t know how I know it, but I do.
Turning my head to the side, I expose the other side of my neck, the side he hasn’t bitten. I want him to mark me everywhere. I want our bond to be as strong as possible and our mating to be powerful.
Dominic starts to cum inside me at the sight, but he doesn’t slow his thrusts. He keeps fucking me hard, in and out as he cums thick spurts into my womb.
I feel the warmth spreading through me as he leans over and places his teeth on my skin. My own teeth are aching, wanting to bite him. I want to brand his skin and warn other women that this male is claimed. My fingernails have grown and are pointed, making them ache with the need to mark Dominic. I claw at the blankets, shredding them, wanting to growl demands.
I’m close to another orgasm, but to even call it an orgasm is a joke. It’s as if my body bursts into stars and goes to outer space, only to fall back down to earth and make me whole again. It’s the single greatest sensation of my life, and I’m approaching another one with both fear and excitement.
Reaching behind me, I grab onto Dominic’s shoulder and dig in with my nails as his teeth sink into me, and I cum. The explosion is more intense than the first, and I nearly black out from the feeling.
Something happens when Dominic marks me, and we cum at the same time. Our shared orgasms bind us together, and it’s as if we become one. I feel like he enters my blood and floods me with passion I didn’t know existed.
When I come down from my peak, I try to find my breath. I let go of Dominic’s shoulder, and he licks my shoulder where he bit it. I smile into the blankets at his sweetness, loving the tender side of his animal.
