Ripe for the Alpha (The Ridge Brothers Bear Shifters Book 4)

by Olivia T. Turner

  Fucking never.

  “You’re not scared?”

  She lifts her shoulders a little in a shrug. “Everything about this is scary,” she says. “I’m in love with you after a day. My feelings are so intense and I still don’t quite understand why. That’s a little bit scary. A bite on the neck is nothing compared to that.”

  The overwhelming urge to be inside her takes over and I lunge forward and kiss her soft little mouth. I love the taste of her tongue almost as much as the taste of her sweet cunt.

  I swallow her moans as I lie down on the grass and pull her on top of me. Her black hair tickles my neck and cheeks as she straddles with me with her thick powerful legs.

  We’re in the middle of the Montana mountains with nobody for miles. Nothing but the clouds and the trees to see what dirty things we’re about to do.

  We get undressed fast in a fury of ripped buttons and yanked down zippers. My body is aching, I need her so badly.

  I thrust my hard cock into her with one hard pump and then roll her back on top of me. She straddles my body and starts riding me up and down, coating my cock and balls with her tight little cunt.

  She looks like a goddess of sex and seduction as she moves up and down with her small tits jiggling. Her black hair bounces on her shoulders and only stops when she sinks all the way down and rolls her hips, grinding her clit against me.

  I hold onto her thick thighs, breathing heavily as I look up at her. Her hot pink pussy is clenched around me, so fucking soft, so fucking tight. It’s the greatest thing I’ve ever felt. I’m never letting this ripe girl go.

  My bear rushes forward, yanking me out my lustful fog. “No,” I gasp as he claws through to the surface.

  Ellie’s eyes widen in panic as she looks down at me. I must look like a monster to her with my body swelling up to an unnatural size, my teeth elongating, and my eyes shining wildly bright.

  He’s so close and if I’m not careful, he’s going to rip out. I flex my body as tight as I can, trying to hold him in as he snarls and thrashes in my ears.

  Ellie puts her hand on my chest and it instantly calms him. “Easy boy,” she says in a soft comforting voice. “I’m yours forever. There’s nothing to worry about.”

  She continues moving her hips up and down and a rush of her warm juices squirts out onto my balls. This isn’t scaring her. It seems to be turning her on.

  My bear takes a step back, but continues hovering close to the surface. He’s watching her closely, letting her get off on my cock.

  My body is still swollen with him and my canines are out, pressing sharply against my bottom lip. It’s time.

  I sit up and wrap my big arms around her as she bounces up and down even harder. She’s moaning and crying out loudly as if she’s about to cum any second.

  I wait until she throws her head back and screams as her orgasm hits her hard. With a growl, I sink my teeth into the spot on her neck, piercing my teeth into her soft flesh. The coppery taste of her blood makes me cum hard and I thrust up, burying myself in her as I fill her ripe cunt with my hot cum.

  She digs her fingernails into my back as she cries out in pain and ecstasy. I hate myself for hurting her, and I hate my bear for making me, but she’ll be okay. She’ll be better than okay. I’ll make damn sure of that.

  I release her neck and pull her into my arms. Her hot tears leak onto my shoulder as I will my seed to make it to her womb. I want this girl pregnant with my child yesterday.

  “That wasn’t so bad,” she says after a while. “It feels kind of good now. Tingly.”

  My bear is finally satisfied. He slinks back down inside, letting me share the moment with our girl. My teeth return to normal and my body shrinks back down to its human size.

  I kiss the mark that’s already healing. Now any man who is stupid enough to set his eyes on her will know she’s taken.

  They’ll know they’ll have to face a polar bear if they look at her. The Sheriff if they talk to her. And me if they touch her.

  This girl is all mine and now she has the mark to prove it.

  A couple of hours and a few ‘breaks’ later, we arrive back at our trailer. I have to get a bigger place for this girl. She deserves more than this old rust bucket.

  “I’ll buy you a ranch,” I tell her as we walk hand in hand. “A big one where our little cubs can roam.”

  “Little cubs?” she says, smiling as she looks up at me. “As in cubs, plural?”

  “Oh yeah,” I say as I squeeze her hand. “I’m going to fill your womb with babies.”

  “How many?”

  “Enough to fill a ranch.”

  She laughs. I shake my head. She thinks I’m kidding, but I’m not.

  I’m never going to stop breeding this girl.

  Not until her womb throws in the towel and even then I’ll continue drowning it in my cum just in case.

  Ellie sucks in a short breath when she sees something on my property. My eyes are on her—they’re always on her—so, I quickly whip my head around and see what she’s looking at.

  “Shit,” I curse under my breath.

  I wasn’t expecting her to be here.

  “Who’s that?” she asks, looking a little unsure.

  I gulp. “That’s Kinsley. My daughter.”

  Chapter Seven

  Ellie

  Kinsley looks so shocked to see her father holding my hand that I want to chuckle, but I don’t dare.

  I slide my fingers out of his grasp out of respect. Austin is her father and I want to give her time to get used to the idea of us together. Especially considering we’re about the same age.

  “So, you found the missing girl?” she asks as we arrive.

  Austin grabs my hand back and holds it even tighter. “Better. I found my mate.”

  She turns to me, forcing out a smile. “You must be Ellie.”

  “And you must be Kinsley,” I say as I offer my hand with a genuine smile. “I heard a lot about you.”

  She shakes my hand and the tightness in her eyes ease a bit. I’m sure this is not easy for her. To see her father with a new girl so quickly. Especially one that’s half his age.

  “Are you okay?” she asks, looking genuinely concerned. “You went through a lot.”

  “It’s been amazing,” I say as I look up at my new man. I feel like I’m exactly where I’m meant to be. By his side. “This has been the best day of my life.”

  “I meant the kidnapping,” she says with a laugh.

  “Oh,” I say and then we’re both laughing too. It’s been such a wild ride of emotions with Austin that I keep forgetting that I was kidnapped for four days. Being with him has been all-consuming.

  “That’s okay,” Kinsley says as she smiles at me. “I have a bear shifter mate too. I know what it’s like.”

  I smile in relief that she’s being so cool about this. I’m excited to get to know her better.

  She looks up at her dad and smiles. “I’ve never seen you so happy,” she says. “Has he wiped that goofy grin off his face since he met you?”

  “Nope,” I say, smiling up at him. “That’s how he looks now.”

  “I can go back to scowling and brooding if that’s sexier,” Austin says to me with a grin.

  “No,” Kinsley interrupts. “This is better. Much better.”

  Austin brings us inside and puts on a pot of coffee as we all get comfortable.

  “So, dad,” she says with a hint of worry on her face. “I didn’t see a police report filed. Everyone still thinks that Ellie is missing.”

  He turns away with a sharp inhale. We’re both watching his huge back as he takes out three mugs.

  “What’s up with that? Where did you find her?”

  “The Copeland lions had her,” he says after a moment.

  “And where are they now?”

  He sighs. “Burning in hell I hope.”

  I sneak a glance at Kinsley’s reaction and she looks a little stressed. Her face is all tight as she drops her eyes to t
he counter, probably wondering how to get her dad out of this mess.

  “What if I tell everyone that I just ran away?” I offer.

  Kinsley shakes her head. “We have witnesses saying they saw you get taken by four men on motorcycles.”

  “That was nice of them to do nothing at the time,” I say with a roll of my eyes.

  “Dad,” Kinsley says as he hands us our coffees. “I need to know what happened so we can figure this out.”

  He tells her how he burnt down the shack with all four of their dead bodies inside.

  “Well,” she says with a laugh as she cups her hands around the hot mug. “That’s not exactly protocol now is it?”

  Austin shakes his head. “Not really. I just had to make them pay. I just had to have her to myself. I can’t explain it.”

  “You don’t have to,” Kinsley says. “I have my own grizzly bear mate. I know how crazy you guys can get from a whiff of tail. But we do have to figure this out or the only way that you’ll spend time with Ellie is with steel bars between the two of you.”

  I sip on my coffee as my brain races to come up with a solution. Finally, something comes.

  “What if I say that I escaped?” I offer. “I was lost in the mountains for two days and Austin found me.”

  “That works, but what about the lions?” Austin says.

  “We don’t say anything about that,” I say. “Who knows what kind of evil shit those guys were into? Maybe another rival crew took them out? You’re the Sheriff. Maybe you can ‘interpret’ the evidence like that.”

  Austin is nodding his head as he thinks about it. God, he’s hot. His forehead is all scrunched up as he thinks and I kind of wish that Kinsley would leave so we could ravage each other once again.

  “I like it,” Kinsley says after she thinks about it for a while. “I don’t think anyone would ask too many questions about that.”

  We all agree on the story and spend the next little while ironing out the details. I like Kinsley. She’s fun and makes me laugh. I think that if we met in different circumstances, like at school or at work, we’d be good friends. I’m excited to get to know her better.

  “You have to come to dinner at our place tonight,” she says when she’s getting ready to leave. “You have to meet everybody. They’re going to love you!”

  “Okay,” I say as my excitement builds. Her enthusiasm is contagious.

  We agree on a time and she says bye and then leaves.

  My excitement starts to turn to panic as we watch her drive away.

  Meet everyone?

  Oh, God…

  I just hope it goes well.

  I’ve never seen such big men in my entire life. The three of them are brothers.

  The Ridge Brothers, Kinsley introduces them as. Damon, Everett, and Cash. Each one has a happy and completely satisfied-looking girl by their side. There’s Kinsley beside Damon, Chloe beside Everett, and Zoe beside Cash.

  They’re all very welcoming and keep peppering me with questions as Kinsley brings me a glass of wine.

  I tell them about the past few days, keeping it PG even though I know they know that I’m leaving out all of the dirty parts.

  They eat up every word and keep telling me that it’s only going to get better over time. “The bond strengthens with each day that passes,” Chloe says as she shoots her mate a seductive look.

  I keep one eye on Austin as he talks with the boys in the kitchen. He’s got his big hand wrapped around a beer bottle, making it look so tiny.

  Every time I see him, I get this intense feeling of gratitude that we found each other. It took the worst event of my life to find him, but if I had the choice I would have gone through the kidnapping again just so he could find me.

  We sit around the table for dinner as Kinsley and Damon serve a roast beef with potatoes and corn. The boys’ mouths are watering as Damon slices it up. I’m squeezed between Zoe and Everett with Austin sitting in front of me.

  “Welcome to the family,” Zoe whispers to me. “You have mountain blood in you now.”

  I’m about to ask what she means when Damon stands up for a toast.

  “Thank you all for coming,” he says with his glass in the air.

  His brother Cash throws a roll of bread at his chest. “Shut up so we can eat!” he says with a laugh.

  “Don’t make me put you in time-out again,” Damon says with a grin. “We have a new member of the family here so use your manners.”

  My cheeks start to blush as I realize that he’s talking about me.

  “To my new mother-in-law,” Damon says with a grin as he lifts his glass to me. “I’ve never seen this big guy look so happy. He’s waited a long time to find you, Ellie. A loooonnng time. How old are you, Austin? Eighty? Ninety?”

  “I’m still young enough to whip your ass,” Austin answers and we all laugh.

  “I’ll take that as eighty-years-old,” Damon says with a chuckle. “Like I was saying, he’s waited a long time to find his mate, and I know by the way he looks at you, that all that time and torture was worth every second.”

  Austin nods as he looks at me with pure love in his eyes. I can’t help but blush with those sexy blue eyes locked on me across the table.

  “Goddamn newlymates!” Everett says as he jerks in his seat and bumps the table with his knee. “That’s my leg, Austin. Stop playing footsies with me!”

  Everyone bursts out laughing and I can’t help but think that this is what family is supposed to be like.

  My family was always so distant and cold. I didn’t have any siblings and neither of my parents were on speaking terms with their families by the time I came around. Family dinners were silent except for the sound of the clinking of utensils and the sound of my dad turning the page of his newspaper.

  I come from a rich family and we appear to have it all, but I always felt like I had nothing. No love. No affection. Just stuff.

  My father is financially successful, but he’s also morally corrupt. You know those lowlife executives you read about who are the head of a major company and authorize the dumping of radioactive waste into a community’s lake or they greenlight a product that they know causes cancer? Well, let’s just say I wouldn’t be surprised if an article like that featured my father one day.

  And my mom, well my mom concerns herself with the latest jewelry collection and buries her head in the sand for everything else.

  I always felt like something was missing in my life, and now I finally feel like I’ve found it.

  The sound of a car pulling up fills the room as the headlights flash against the wall.

  “We have a surprise for you,” Kinsley says with a sly smile as she looks at me.

  For some reason, my stomach fills with a sense of dread.

  No…

  Damon hops up and goes to the door.

  “Kinsley…” Austin says looking as worried as I feel.

  “I invited your parents!” she says with a beautiful smile. I can’t hate her even though I really want to right now. “They were missing you so much!”

  I swallow hard and turn just as Damon opens the door. They’re standing there, looking as cold and distant as ever.

  “Mom. Dad,” I say as I quickly get up, nearly taking the tablecloth with me. “What are you doing here?”

  My father looks uneasy as he steps into the house. I don’t want them here. Not yet. This has been so perfect and I want to indulge in it a little while longer before my old life comes crashing into my new life.

  My mother’s nose crinkles up as she holds her purse a little closer to her side. She’s looking at everything with a pompous air of dissatisfaction. She’s such a snob and right now I hate her for it.

  “We heard you were found,” my father says as he tosses his coat at Damon without looking at him. He shakes his head. “Just as the ransom money was about to come in.”

  The vein on his temple starts throbbing and my stomach churns with disgust. He did set this up. The kidnapping was just a
ploy to get the ransom money. I can tell by the way he’s disappointed to see me free.

  “That’s what you’re worried about?” I say as my eyes narrow on him. “You’re more concerned about the money than me.”

  He scoffs. “Oh, please.”

  But it’s true. Everything starts to click into place. He’s been stressed about money lately. The bank repossessed our lake house. My parents have been spending lavishly for decades and now it’s finally caught up to them.

  And I was their ticket out of debt.

  “What was the deal, Dad?” I ask with a cutting look.

  “What deal?”

  Austin steps by my side and I immediately feel bolder. I can take on the world with this man at my side. My parents are nothing.

  “How much of the ransom money were you getting?”

  His eyes widen for a second before he starts to deny it, sounding all insulted and indignant. “You really think I was involved in business with those… shifters.” He says it with a look of disgust on his face.

  “Who said they were shifters?” I ask as I cross my arms over my chest and stare him down.

  He starts to panic and backtrack. “I just… assumed. Shifters are—”

  Austin charges forward and grabs him by the back of the neck. “Let’s go have a chat,” he says as he pushes him to the door. “Outside.”

  They disappear into the darkness and my mother drops her eyes to the floor, ignoring everything going on around her as usual.

  I just want them out of my life.

  Chapter Eight

  Austin

  If this guy wasn’t Ellie’s father, his neck would already be snapped.

  It’s taking every ounce of self-control I have not to end his pathetic life.

  “Get your hands off me!” he shouts as I push him across the yard. I do what he says and shove him hard as I let go. He tumbles onto the grass, ruining his expensive suit.

  It’s dark out with a full moon shining down on us. I can see the fear in his eyes as I stand over him.
