“Brianna?”
“Don’t tell me you want more your insatiable” she laughed.
“I will have more which is why I want you to do something for me”
Piquing her interest she turned, underwear in hand.
“What?”
“From now on I don’t want you wearing panties, I want to be able to be inside of you at a moment’s notice. I would hate to destroy your underwear collection. Knowing that you are walking around wet and ready for me will make me very happy”
Nobody had ever talked to her like that, but her wolf practically raised her backside in anticipation, she and her were going to have words soon enough. And so it was the submission thing again. When he reached her his hands took the silky garments out of her fingers, dropping them to the floor. Picking up her jeans he handed them to her.
“I will see you downstairs, I have started breakfast, don’t be late baby”
And just like that he was gone. Blinking, her head was in totally the different zone right now. Right breakfast then work, in that order. Looking at her discarded underwear she licked her lips. Bloody hell could she do this? Underwear was the staple of most women. Look at all the lingerie market, billions spent on lace and silk. She did not want to roll over and submit but it was such a new concept and a daring one, and one thing was for sure Brianna loved a challenge, so technically it was not submitting just doing research. She kept telling herself that as she followed the smell of freshly ground coffee.
She felt so stuffed with food all she wanted to do was sleep, but she had taken her coffee with her and sitting in the meeting room she noticed a screen had been set up. The males all inclined their head in respect of their new alpha female. She had been a little late as Marcus asked her if she would wear a top that exposed her neck. Alpha males and ownership went hand in hand, domination went with the territory. Ensuring all other males saw his marks kept his hierarchy in the pack, and reinforced respect and loyalty to him. In other words touch my mate and pay the fuckin consequences.
“Alpha, everybody is here now, we may begin” Connor spoke.
Marcus nodded once.
“What do we have?”
Luke tapped on a laptop and the screen came to life. At first it was grainy, but after some adjustments the image cleared. Brianna shifted to get a clearer view. The van that she had first seen was clear, parked in a bay outside riverside hotel.
“We tracked to this van and hotel as per the address supplied. Initially the van was missing but after an hour of waiting he showed up. Tristan posed as a business manager looking for a room for the night. He managed to steal a glance at the booking sheet. He is using his former alphas name of Michael Jenson, staying in room 12 first floor” Luke advised.
“Did he stay there all night?” Brianna asked
“No, he left just after one this morning. Matt and Andy did a search of his room whilst Luke and I followed him” Tristan replied.
“The room search came up with a jackpot. We found a stash of syringes and one vial of clear liquid taped under a cabinet drawer”
Brianna looked to the younger male who had spoken.
“Do you have the vial?” she asked.
“Yes”
He pulled out a clear bag with the container in it, making it look like an episode of real time CSI. Her hands clasped around it, carefully she opened the bag making sure not to touch the glass. The smell hit her harder than before and she retched, pushing the bag away. Marcus ripped it out of her hands, stroking her hair, soothing her.
“I’m ok, I think that it is in a purer form, it is so much stronger than before”
Marcus passed it around the room for each wolf to smell. By the look on their faces they were confused.
“I cannot smell anything” Tristan offered.
Murmurs around the group echoed his thoughts.
“My enhanced smell will be able to pick up even the faintest of smells, but you must be able to pick up on the chemicals in it”
Every wolf passed the bag between each other again but again they shook their heads.
“If I can smell it and males cannot then I think that the original theory may be that it is some sort of masking agent so that the females cannot be traced”
Brianna looked to her mate, whose grim expression matched her mood.
“Matt, get the vial to Michael, I want an analysis done straight away so we know what the hell we are dealing with here”
Matt quickly obeyed and departed the room.
“We tracked the vehicle to a location twenty miles from here. It looks like an old sub-station, nestled deep in a valley. The perimeter runs about an eight mile circuit.” Connor said.
Luke tapped on the laptop again before the image shifted to the location they were describing. The energy of the wolves was palatable, knowing that the females may be held there.
“Bradley left his vehicle a mile back and trekked to the location, and looking around, roads are pretty inaccessible after that point. The place is well guarded, shifters every hundred yards, three guarding the back entrance and four the front” Tristan emphasised.
“Then we should be able to overpower them quickly, take them down” Marcus asked.
“Not so easy Marcus” Luke interrupted.
Changing the screen he pulled up a still of the whole complex.
“They are armed, heavily armed, from what I and the second team could see and smell, they are using silver bullets. The fact that they are all wearing reinforced gloves adds to that conclusion”
“Shit”
Marcus jumped up to take a closer look at the screen.
“Whoever is behind this fuckin operation is one sick fuck” he yelled.
Brianna stared at the screen, she knew that if Marcus was to take his enforcers into the complex it would be like leading lambs to a slaughter. Silver bullets were fatal to a wolf, whoever indeed was behind this was clever and prepared. How to dodge a shooting bullet? A light bulb went off in her head. Her eyes found Luke’s who she already knew had been searching hers. Tilting her head she questioned him through their telepathic link.
There is a way
Brianna you cannot ask that of her, she is a submissive wolf
Don’t you think I know that, but unless you have any other ideas Sherlock then she is our ticket in!
She was aware the room had gone silent and all eyes were on her and Luke. Marcus came around the table to stand in front or her.
“Care to share baby?”
Looking at Luke, she saw him visibly exhale sharply.
“Brianna, you cannot ask her, there has to be another way”
“With me helping her we could get in Luke!” she snapped
“Brianna? Talk to me, ask who?” Marcus asked.
His hands traced her cheek, before rubbing the pad of his thumb against her bottom lip. Licking her lips she looked at Connor, she knew he would probably blow a gasket and could she truly let her friends secret become common knowledge?
“Look guys, what I have to tell you is strictly confidential, it is not to leave the room at all, do I make myself clear?”
All the males pledged their trust.
Folding her arms across her chest she moved to the front of the room. Luke looked nervous and he had every reason to be, hopefully her friend would see the true benefit of her gift, to use it to help those women.
“Lizzy was born with a gift, a very powerful gift. She can telepathically manipulate metal objects”
Connor jumped up, hands on hips, staring down at her.
“She’s a telekinetic?” he whispered.
“Yes, although she sees it as a curse rather than a gift, but that is not for me to tell. The fact is I think she can get us into the complex by using her powers to manipulate the weapons, including the silver bullets”
“No way Brianna, I will not have her in danger, there has to be another way in, something else” Connor shouted.
Marcus looked around the room at his pack. They n
eeded to get in that complex one way or another, but like his Beta he was reluctant to use a submissive female wolf, that could spell disaster. The other thing bugging him was that they had no confirmed sightings of the women yet, it could be a trap.
“I know it has its risks but everything we do in life has some degree of risk, believe me if there was another way I would be using it, I don’t want my best friend at risk any more than you do”
Connor threw his hands up in the air, frustration all over his face. Brianna glanced at the screen, noticing that there was still 2mins of footage left on the tape.
“ls there anything else on the tape that we can use?” she asked Luke.
“I don’t think so, one of the guards was doing a perimeter check, even though we were careful to stay out of sight and scent we did not want to take any chances, so we left soon after”
“Can I see the rest, there may be something?”
Nodding he set the film running again. As Brianna watched closely, she felt Marcus wrap his arms around her waist, in comfort and solidarity. The main footage was the guards and the perimeter, but something caught her eye to the back of the building. A male shifter was manhandling someone of smaller build, his non-verbal signs were that he was angry with them, before they disappeared back inside the complex. From the footage distance, it looked like two guards fighting.
“Wait, Luke go back to frame 9 and pause”
Marcus came around the side of her, Tristan and Connor exchanging glances with him. The film froze at where she wanted it, but the image very grainy.
“Can you filter it out?”
“I can try but at that distance it may not be great”
She stepped toward the screen, focusing on the section she wanted. Every nail biting second had her wolf pacing frantically. As the image cleared she sighed heavily. This was not good. The tension in the room exploded.
“Where the fuck is he?” Marcus yelled.
“Search pack territory, speak to everyone, I want that traitor found” Connor snapped.
Enforcers ran out the room, leaving only Marcus, Connor, Luke and Tristan.
“I think you have a bigger problem than you realise. The evidence speaks for itself that Rhett is somehow involved. But on the plus side, the person he was grabbing is the Mckenzie girl, so at least we know that it is likely that your females are also in there”
“Why the fuck would he do this to his pack, to our females?” Tristan growled.
“I have no idea, but when we find him, he is mine, nobody touches him but me, are we understood?”
Marcus was furious, the treacherous bastard, all these years he had taken him into his pack and helped him build a new life for himself, then he goes and pulls a stunt like this! They needed to act fast.
“Brianna talk to Lizzy, see if she will help us”
“Alpha, please do not do this, if anything happened to her I would never forgive myself”. Connor was practically begging.
“Connor, I know that you and Lizzy are becoming close, and if it was Brianna I would be feeling exactly the same way, but the fact is we need to get in there without being decimated with silver. This is the way in my friend. I assure you that I will do everything I can to keep her involvement as minimal as possible and keep her safe”
“I want her protected at all costs Marcus, she is mine, nobody will touch her and if they do I will rip their fuckin throats out”
He stormed out the room, slamming the door.
“If he had been anyone else I would have challenged him right now. But I know it is just his protective instincts firing off”
“Do you think they are mates?” Brianna asked.
“It’s possible, but right now we need to concentrate on a plan to get those females out, speak to Lizzy, ask her if she will help. Tristan chase up the vial that Michael will be testing, I want to know what the hell it is before we storm in there. Once we have that information, depending on Lizzy, we strike, take them out once the weapons have been disabled”
Tristan left the room with Luke.
“But, I thought we were not going to go in there with teeth bared, just in case they attack the women before we get to them”
“Baby, I have every faith in my pack, they are strong and exceptional fighters. We will move fast once we are past the guards”
“And to get past the guards Lizzy will need me as well”
“Brianna……..”
Planting her hands on the table she glared at him.
“No Marcus, you would allow my friend to take a risk but not me?”
“She is not my mate!” he snapped.
“No but SHE is my friend and trust me she will need me to help her get to the guards. Besides, once inside the complex the last thing the female wolves will want to see is violent male wolves, sending in two females they can trust will make it easier for them, which in turn means they will be calmer and more controlled, reducing the risk of any fatalities”
Marcus stalked around the table to her, she could feel his body humming with energy, the alpha had stepped up. Reaching her he crushed her to him, devouring her mouth, she had to wrap her arms around his waist to stop herself falling. Breathlessly, he stared down at her.
“I love it when your alpha blood heats up baby, your scent increases, your blue eyes become brighter and your heartbeat is wild and erratic”
Brianna pushed against his chest.
“So as my alpha blood has suggested a better approach rather than claws unsheathed, then we go with my plan?” she questioned.
“Your plan to some extent, we need to iron out some technical difficulties, but we will compromise on that”
“I take it you are learning to compromise, my alpha”
She was teasing him, the little minx was trying to get the wolf to take the bait, and he would, completely. Spinning her around he gently pushed her down on the table, unzipping her jeans, dropping them to the ground.
“I see you agreed to my request”
Marcus leaned in licking one of his claiming marks, sending a shudder through her. Brianna heard his belt loosen and his zip open. She knew that at any moment someone could come in and that just shot her arousal through the roof. Grabbing her hips he plunged into her heated core, there was no gentle approach, she knew he was reprimanding her for teasing him, but yeah so what, if this is what happens every time she was naughty then bring it on. He took her hard and fast, his groans of pleasure music to her ears.
“You get me so hard when you disobey me Brianna, you need this, to show you who is in control, your mate baby”
Brianna cried out as he pulled her back against him, anchoring her with a hand on her shoulder bringing her to stand. The pounding was reaching its peak, her body ached.
“Come for me Bri, let me feel you milk me”
Her body shook around him and she swore she saw stars. Seconds later he bit her shoulder and came hard inside of her, the jerking of his shaft warming her and filling her. Gently he pulled out of her, picking her jeans up and fastening them for her. She licked her lips as she watched him push his flesh back in his jeans.
“You keep disobeying me then I will punish you again baby”
He leaned down, kissing her gently. God she loved this dominant alpha, punishment? Nah just sweet torture, she thought.
“Sweet torture baby? Interesting concept”
“Oh crap, I forgot you can read my thoughts now”
Laughing he took her hand leading her back through the pack house. Fortunately, the house was silent, but she could hear people moving about upstairs. Thank god his enforcers were not outside the door. Catching her thought he stopped her.
“Brianna, I know that it is a long time since you were in a pack, but even though I have officially claimed you, it also has to be done in front of the pack. They need to witness the alpha taking his mate”
Brianna stumbled a little as she heard his words. Please don’t tell me he is asking what I think he is. Nibbling her lip she looked up
at him.
“A mating ceremony?”
“Yes, but it is not the full pack. The ceremony would be through the day with everyone gathered but the actual witnessed claiming would be at night with my enforcers and beta”
“Marcus please don’t ask me to have sex with you in front of your men, that would be so embarrassing”
“Brianna, it is the way of the pack, do you not remember such an event in your own pack?”
Brianna was young but she did remember the alpha going into the woods with his mate and his chosen enforcers, what she did remember was that they were in wolf form.
“I do remember, I know it is a tradition kept only for the alpha, and lucky me I mated an alpha” she mumbled.
Tenderly he brushed her hair off her face.
“I will only pick two of my best enforcers and beta, but we will be in our wolf forms baby, there is nothing more natural than that”
“Yes for a male, it’s just a chance to show his prowess, for the female its lie down and take a hammering” she snarled.
Pulling her to him, he nipped her earlobe.
“You will not be taking a hammering Brianna you will be being claimed in the most primal way of our kind, in a most ancient and beautiful ceremony”
“I need to think about it” she voiced.
“Ok baby, no problem”
No problem? God she was definitely due a girlie night, at least Katie was mated to an alpha, she could pick her brains about it. Leaving Marcus she went in search of Lizzy. And onto another battle she mused.

“What!?? you cannot be serious Bri?”
Brianna watched her friend pace back and forward on the grass at the back of the pack house, the smell of her anxiety was potent.
“I know that you have not used your gift in years Lizzy but we really need your help, those women need your help!”
“Gift? You think this is a gift?”
Oh here we go again.
“Yes Lizzy as I have told you many times, it is a gift not a curse!”
“Honey it is a curse, or have you not forgotten how my wolf was bound by some whacko pack seer who thought I was a danger to all who came near me?”
Her blond hair was whipping around her face, long legs making easy work of the vast space behind the house.
