Reggie: Changing a Wolf's Heart
Page 4
“What else?” Tey said.
“She is struggling, worried about Reggie. She has not seen him since they took her.” Jo said.
Casey cried a little when she heard her twin had not been seen in the months they had been gone. When he was taken, he had been in a coma. None of them knew if he had woken up or was still unconscious. It was making her crazy. Her brother did not even know that she was pregnant. That she carried his new niece or nephew.
“Wait, Reggie just walked in.” Jo smiled a little and opened her eyes. “They are still in the city. When Ruby was freed, she looked out a window for a brief minute. I could see the Denver skyline. I just can"t tell you where because she does not know.” Levi took a deep breath and relaxed. His mates were safe, for the moment, and they were together. At least they would only have to storm one building, and they were together. He was been so worried that Ruby was alone and scared. At least she had Reggie to lean on. He did not want to even think about how she felt about him right now. She had to blame him, he did.
Levi nodded and looked at his Alpha and friend and said, “We will be ready.”

“Mother, who the fuck do I need to talk to in order to get the hell out of here? Ruby and I both need a change of clothes and other stuff.” Reggie said demandingly. He had never spoken to his mother like this, but he was damn sick and tired of her acting this way. She had gone off the deep end. “Where is dad?”
“Young man, I don"t like the tone you are taking with me. Everything I have done, I have done for you.” Barbara whined from the couch. She was still in the same spot as when he left earlier.
“Where is dad?” Reggie asked rudely, not caring if he pissed her off or not. Ruby stayed silently by his side holding on to his hand like it was a lifeline. He was going to be strong for her. Reggie never had a reason to be strong or be a leader. His mate needed him, and he was not going to let her down.
“We need to talk about that.” His mother said looking around the room, so she would not have to look him in the eyes.
“WHERE THE FUCK IS DAD?” Reggie yelled.
Ruby jumped at the tone of his voice. He knew that he should tone it down, but he really was getting pissed.
“Fine, now listen, your father, and I had a difference in opinions. He told the Master that he was going to do what had to be done, but when push came to shove, he did not mean it. Your father was too worried about her and what her new friends would think.” Barbara sneered. “I showed him though. I told the Master what he was thinking and planning. As if he could get away with going to Oliver and telling him what we planned all those years ago.”
“I am only going to ask you one more time, mother. Then it is going to get ugly, old woman. Explain what is going on right now, or so help me.” Reggie said and stepped forward only to feel his mate"s hand restrain him a little. Who was he becoming?
“You father made his own bed. I have no clue where he is. You will have to ask the Master when he gets here. The guards said he would be here shortly.” Barbara sniffed and then stood and patted her hair. “I am going to make tea and cookies for our company, you, and your mate should freshen up. You are a mess, and I can smell you.”
“Fuck you.” Reggie growled and paced the floor while his mother left the room in a snit.
Ruby watched him closely; he started to get a little worried that he scared her, until he noticed the small smile on her face. “What?”
“Nothing, well, it is just that I never got to actually meet you when you came to town.
Then you were in an accident, and we were kidnapped, and you know what happened when you woke up. This is the first time I have seen you upright. You are handsome.” Ruby laughed. “And definitely sexy, when you are mad.” Reggie blushed and looked at his mate. “And you are gorgeous and I believe I adore you already.” He said and stepped in front of her. He pulled her close, bent, and kissed her gently. “Ummmm, maybe we should take a shower and get cleaned up.” He whispered against her lips. “I can wash your back, and you can wash mine.” Ruby chuckled and wrapped her arms around his neck. Levi was not the cuddling type, she thought, but Reggie, she could see them curled on the couch watching movies and shopping together holding hands and walking along the streets. Levi was gruff and hard. She wanted to take care of him, make him dinner, and keep his house clean. She was envisioning what life would be like with the two totally different men. They were polar opposites. That is, if he decided to claim them.
Her insecurities were going to drive her nuts. Before the attack Ruby was happy, she dreamed of the day that her mate would claim her, and they would live happily ever after. She knew it was a pipe dream. Especially when her chosen mate ignored the fact that they were destined to be with each other. Now she had another chance. It felt wonderful.
Reggie pulled her into the room that she had been held in. There was a small bathroom attached to it. He checked it out, looking for what she did not know, but she did not care either. She was going to have fun with her mate while she could. Ruby had a feeling when they left this room the next time; it was not going to be fun. She chewed on her lower lip. It was a habit she had, when she was worried.
Reggie obviously noticed it because he smiled at her and ran his hands up and down her arms. “Baby girl, I may not look like a big brute, but I will take care of you. We will get out of here and figure all this shit out. I promise.” She nodded and put her head down. She did not want him to think that she did not have faith in him, she did, and it was just that he was not Levi. If Levi were here, he would take care of them. She always felt like he could conquer the world. Shaking herself, she brushed the thoughts away. She had her mate; it was Reggie, if Levi did not want them, then to the hell with him. They would survive.
“How about we just see what comes up?” She teased rubbing herself against him. She had never been this brazen before, there was something about Reggie though, that brought out the naughty side of her.
Reggie chuckled and leaned in and kissed her. “That I can do.” They pushed their clothes off quickly, both impatient to feel each other again. They may be in a shitty situation but being newly mated was causing them to throw caution to the wind. She looked at him shyly. Looking at his body was like looking at a centerfold magazine. He pulled her into the bathroom as he continued to kiss her. He was a great kisser.
Reggie leaned over and turned on the water. She took the opportunity to look at his firm backside. She knew she was turning red, but could not turn away. He smiled at her when he stood up and said, “Were you looking at my ass?” Ruby chuckled, pulled him to her, and kissed him again. “A fine ass to look at.” He lifted her up and put her into the hot streaming water. She almost groaned at the feeling. She had not had a shower in so long. Reggie stepped behind her, and she felt his hands run over her back. He reached around her and took the soap that was on the shelf and sniffed.
“Well I guess we will both smell like roses.” He smirked.
She laughed again and took the soap from him. “I think you can pull it off.” They washed each other off, caressing and fondling each other until they were satisfied that they were clean. Then Reggie took the soap, put it back on the shelf, and pushed her until she was standing under the water. He washed her hair, and she groaned out loud this time. She loved the feel of his hands massaging her scalp. He took his time and by the time he was done, she was panting. She quickly did the same for him, promising herself the next time they showered, she would make sure and spend time on his hair. She wanted him so bad though and could not help but rush. He looked like he felt the same way if his erection was any indication.
“Now, let"s make you a little dirty again.” He whispered against her ear.
She shivered when she felt his hands cup her breasts. He brushed his thumbs over her nipples, and she shivered again. Ruby reached up and kissed him, sucking a little on his tongue when he tried to pull back. She did not want to let him go. The soap made their skin slide over one another easily.
Ruby nodded and did what he asked. She felt a breath hitch in her chest at the thought of him entering her this way. Once she was in place, she felt him run his hands down her back and over her ass. She pushed back a little and wiggled her butt at him before looking over her shoulder and smiling.
“Playing games, little one?” He said and spanked her cheek.
She laughed and wiggled it again; it earned her another spanking on the other side. She groaned this time, feeling her pussy weep a little at the pleasure of having his hand on her ass that way. She was getting her sexual education all in one day, she thought and smiled to herself. When they saw Levi again, she would be ready for him. He thought she was innocent and inexperienced. That is why he never claimed her. Well, she would show him. She may have been a virgin, but she was quickly learning that she had a little bit of the dark side in her. She only hoped he was ready for her and Reggie.
Reggie ran his finger down the crack of her ass, and she gasped. “Oh no baby, not today but just think of it. One day soon, we will have our other mate, and we will both take you at the same time. One in this pretty little ass of yours and one in that tight pussy.
We will pleasure you together and make you come so many times you will not be able to walk for a week.”
Ruby shook with anticipation from his words. Gods, she wanted it, she wanted what he was saying. If only it would be that simple. “Please!” She cried when she felt him put a little pressure on her back hole. She pushed against him hoping that she would get some relief from the throbbing of her clit. He had not even come close to touching her there, and she wanted him to in the worst way.
“Patience, I will get there.” He murmured, and he continued to stroke up and down her crack, each time pausing at her hole and rimming it gently. Finally, he started to swipe lower and lower, until he was sinking his finger into her pussy for a brief moment before withdrawing it and continuing his stroking.
“Damnit, will you touch me?!” She cried in frustration after he did this for several minutes.
Reggie chuckled and leaned forward and whispered in her ear. “What"s wrong, sweetie, are you having some issue that I should know about?”
“Reggie, please.” She whispered against the wall, her head hung forward, and she was panting.
After what seemed like a long time, he reached around her, put his hand on her mound, and ran his finger down her pussy lips. She gasped when she felt him come close to her clit. He circled it and she almost yelled at him again in frustration. That is until she felt him lining up his big cock with her pussy from behind.
In one bold and strong stroke, he entered her and pushed his finer on her clit at the same time making her come and scream all at once from the sensations. “Yes!”
“Oh, we aren"t done, baby.” He growled, grabbed her hips with his hands, and began pushing in and pulling out of her. She wanted more, and thought she would pass out from not breathing deep enough.
Reggie slammed into her, making slapping noises when his balls hit the back of her thigh. She wanted to laugh because she thought of the one semi-porno she had ever seen with a girlfriend. At the time, they giggled at the noises the couple made. Her friend swore that they had people standing to the side of the picture making the noises because there was no way that sex could be that loud. She was going to have to add that to her to do list. Call her friend and let her know the noises were real.
“Almost there baby, get ready to come again.” He ordered and reached around again and flicked her clit with his finger. It did not take much for her to scream again and climax around Reggie"s cock. “Fuck!” He cried and emptied into her.
They stood panting together against the wall, him leaning over her and bracing one hand on the wall while holding her up. Thank goodness he did. She would have fallen on the shower floor if not for him.
“Looks like we need to wash again.” He chuckled and helped her stand up. She turned and kissed him deeply and sighed into his mouth.
They finished their shower and stood in the bathroom drying off with towels. He frowned and looked around and said, “Hang on a minute; Let me see if we can find you some clean clothes.”
She nodded and wrapped the towel around herself. Thank goodness, she did because when he opened the door and walked out of the bathroom, there were three men leaning against the wall waiting for them.
“Good performance, hell I almost came just from listening to you two. I am sure the Master will be pleased that you have claimed your mate.” The tallest man she had ever seen drawled and smiled as he pushed himself upright.
Chapter 4
How much longer was he going to have to wait? Alpha Quin said they would be here only a few hours ago, but time seemed to practically stand still as he waited for the wolves to get here from Milliken. Levi had no idea what to expect, but he sure as hell was going to have to hold his temper if he wanted to go. If he had his way, he would have gone to the warehouse district hours ago when he first heard that was where his mates were being held. If it were not for the fact, the warehouse district was so large, he would have done so.
Pacing across the lobby of the Pack headquarters, he paused with each pass to look out the front windows to see if anyone had pulled up yet. He knew that this was driving the guards in the lobby nuts, because he could hear them growl when he passed their desk.
“I am gonna kick your weak ass, if you don"t stop.” Darry barked at him.
Levi turned to look at his friend. He had been at the fight in Milliken and been wounded. The Alphas sent him back to headquarters with orders that he was on desk duty until he fully healed. During the fight, Darry had fought off four wolves at once and sustained a lot of broken bones. Hearing the stories, he felt a little guilty that he had been looking for his mates when his brothers-in-arms had been fighting. But the Alphas understood, as did the rest of the Council. It did not make him feel any better though.
“Shut up or I will beat your old rickety ass into the ground.” He said in return.
If only he could feel this comfortable with his mate. Ruby had tried so many times to talk to him, and get to know him. But he had shunned her at every turn. She was young, and he had too much baggage. What will she say when she learns about his parents? Hell, alcoholism runs in the family. Would she worry that he would start drinking too? FUCKIN" A, he worried about that.
Levi had plenty of time over the last few weeks to think. He was ashamed that he let his past prevent him from claiming and protecting his mate. If he had been strong enough, they would not be in this position. From the time he was a child, he decided that he would never find his mate. Why would the Gods gift him with something so fragile and precious when even his parents did not care enough about him to take care of him?
Quin"s father had tried several times to talk to his dad. But the drunken asshole only would stay sober for about a week. Then he would start back up again. His mother did not even try to stop. He had forgotten the number of times he had to clean up after one of their parties. Vomit and bottles littered their small house for as long as he could remember. He only had himself to count on. When he met Quin and Jaden, they had been several years older. But they had seen the bruises and cuts that his father inflicted on the boy. They took him under their wing and helped him learn how to protect himself. Quin told him his father would never be pissed from the young man protecting himself, even if it was from his own father.
Slowly, he had bulked up until one day his father pushed him into a wall, and Levi fought back. He knocked his drunken father on his ass and screamed at him that he would never touch him again. Of course, his dumbshit of a sperm donor laughed and took credit for raising such a fine and strong wolf.
When Quin's father gave him a position as an Enforcer in the Pack, Levi took the opportunity to finally get away from his family. Not that they noticed, he thought back to the da
y four weeks after he moved out and laughed. His mother and father had come looking for him, probably because they had run out of money and needed more booze.
Levi had been working at the time. His father stumbled into the Pack headquarters and announced that he needed to report his son missing.
Levi had been stunned at their appearance and had rushed to get them out of the building. His Beta had taken over the situation, explaining that Levi had been appointed an Enforcer. He also explained that he had been assigned living quarters with the rest of the Enforcers. Levi wanted to sink into the floor when his father crowed about his son being an Enforcer. Levi wanted to point out that until that moment, his father had not known where his son was, but the embarrassment prevented him from doing it.
He took his parent's home after they stumbled around the lobby talking loudly to anyone who would listen to them. When he saw the apartment, he realized how much he had taken care of his parents over the years. The small dwelling had been a shamble.
Empty food boxes and bottles covered every surface. The smell is what got to him. Stale alcohol with a mix of vomit, made his decision much easier.
That morning the Beta asked him if he wanted to come to the United States and be an Enforcer for Quin. Levi jumped at the chance to get away from his past. He shoved a few hundred dollars in his dad's hand and with one last look left his past behind. Or so he thought. When Ruby approached him months ago, and he caught her scent, his wolf had pushed him so hard to claim her that he had almost forgotten about his past.
Almost. Levi ran fast and far from the girl. First, because she was under age, but second because she represented something. A commitment.
Now looking out the large window, Levi was kicking himself for being such an asshole.
A mate should have been a gift. He had looked at her as another responsibility. Was he strong enough to handle her and his job? That is what had made his father start drinking. He had heard the story enough.
