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

by Olivia T. Turner

  “You handed your own daughter over to those animals,” I hiss out. I’m trying to control my fury, but it’s so fucking hard.

  My bear is all amped up inside, pacing and snarling. He wants to get out and deal with this scum himself.

  Every snarl and growl says the same thing. Kill him. Maim him. Make him pay.

  He did this to my mate. He let those savages put their hands on her. I can’t forgive that and I can’t let it slide.

  “Austin!” It’s Ellie’s voice. Her smell fills the air as she runs up beside me.

  As much as I want to kill this bastard, I’ll do whatever she wants. It is her father after all.

  She stops at my side and looks down at her father who’s still on the ground, looking even more pathetic than he is.

  “You really did it,” she says in a low voice. “Didn’t you?”

  “No!” he quickly snaps. “Don’t be ridiculous!”

  “Don’t lie to me,” she warns. “I don’t have the patience for any more of your lies.”

  “I wouldn’t do such a thing!” he shouts. “I don’t even have five million dollars!”

  “I saw the insurance policy you took out on me, Dad! Five million dollars available for ransom in the event of a kidnapping. What was that all about?”

  His face drops. He’s so fucking guilty.

  Kill him. Do it!

  My bear won’t shut up. He keeps snarling in my ears.

  “That was nothing,” he says with his voice racing in panic. “You must have misread it! I don’t know what you think you saw, but I’m innocent. Innocent!”

  “Just admit it,” she says, not buying any of his bullshit. “And we’ll let you go.”

  He shakes his head. “I did nothing of the sort.”

  Ellie lets out a long sigh. I put my hand on her shoulder.

  “Want me to get it out of him?” I whisper.

  She nods.

  My lips curl up into a grin as I step in front of him.

  His eyes widen as I peel off my shirt and kick off my shoes.

  “You’re going to tell your daughter exactly what you did,” I say as I pull my pants down. “Or I’m going to let my friend out and he’s not as understanding as us.”

  “I… what… I didn’t do a thing.”

  “You had your chance,” I say as my heated eyes narrow on him.

  With a deep breath, I release my bear and let him come raging out. My eyes are locked on his terrified face as my body swells and my bear explodes out of me, huffing and snarling over him.

  He screams in terror and the smell of urine fills the crisp night air.

  “You could have just told me the truth for once,” Ellie says quietly as my polar bear steps forward.

  Just scare him, I warn. Don’t kill.

  My bear opens his huge jaws as her father screams. I’m grinning as my polar bear puts her father’s whole head into his mouth.

  “Okay! Okay!” he screams when he gets a good look at my bear’s tonsils. “I did it! I did it!”

  With a huff my bear lets him go and steps back. Her father’s hair is wet with saliva and his face is twisted in panic.

  “You don’t understand,” he says as he looks at Ellie. “We were going to lose everything! Everything!”

  “And now you’re going to lose your daughter too,” she says. “I want you both out of my life.”

  I phase back and quickly get dressed as her mother and Damon step outside.

  “Please don’t report us to the police,” he says with a shaky voice. This guy is more worried about himself than about losing his daughter. I should have let my bear swallow him.

  “You just reported yourself,” she says before turning away. “This guy is the Sheriff.”

  His eyes are bulging as he looks at me.

  “Leave. Now. And if we ever see your face again, my bear won’t be so fucking calm. I guarantee it.”

  He flees to the car as his wife watches.

  “You knew too, didn’t you?” Ellie asks her with an accusing glare.

  “It was your father’s idea,” she says with a dismissive wave of her hand. “You know I don’t pay any attention to his business.”

  “Just like you don’t pay any attention to your daughter.” Ellie shakes her head in disgust. “Go with Dad. You’re out of my life.”

  The mother is about to say something, but then she leaves with a shrug.

  I’m glaring at the car as it pulls onto the road while Ellie cries in my arms.

  It’s hard for her now, but this is the best thing for her. We’ll be the loving family that she never had.

  She’ll have me and I’ll make damn sure that it’s enough.

  Chapter Nine

  Ellie

  The Sheriff’s cock is in my mouth, but really, it’s not my fault. I’ve never been able to resist a man in uniform.

  Austin was looking so goddamn sexy with his crisp shirt and round hat that I just had to pull him away from the press conference.

  I mean, most of the reporters aren’t even here yet.

  Well to be honest, the room was pretty full, but there must be at least one journalist that was stuck in traffic or had to take a pee break or something.

  Anyway, I’m on my knees with Austin’s big thick cock ramming down my throat, so we’re not going anywhere now. Not until he’s done.

  “Open up wide, baby,” he growls as he grips my ponytail with his strong hand. “You wanted my cock and now you’re going to get it. All of it.”

  He tilts my head back and I try to relax my throat as he thrusts his big dick in deep. My mouth is so full that my eyes are watering, leaking mascara down my cheeks.

  Everyone is in the main room at the Town Hall for the press conference and we’re backstage in the dressing room. Just as we were about to begin, I pulled Austin back into the room, dropped to my knees, and immediately started clawing at his zipper, trying to get his big dick out. I couldn’t wait any longer. I had to have him.

  I can still hear the crowd murmuring outside. They can wait. This feels too good to stop.

  His blue eyes are dark with lust as he looks down at me taking him all in. I choke out a moan as his grip on my hair tightens and he amps up the pace.

  He’s all grunts and growls as he thrusts in deep. “Fuck yes, baby. You like having my cock in your slutty little mouth?”

  I try to nod, but I can’t move my head. He’s holding it right where he wants it.

  My hand darts down to my pussy and I can’t believe how wet I am. I’m soaked.

  “You tease me with those luscious lips, girl, and now I’m going to make you take every inch.”

  I start rubbing my throbbing clit and we both erupt with intense orgasms. There’s a crowd outside and we have to be quiet. I can’t make any noise with his big cock pulsing deep in my mouth, but Austin can. He grits his teeth and lets out a strained series of grunts as I feel his warm cum shoot down my throat.

  He slowly pulls his cock out one long inch at a time and I wrap my lips around it, not wanting to let it go just yet.

  “Fuck,” he grunts as he wipes his forehead. “You are too much for me.”

  This coming from the guy with the twelve-inch cock.

  If anything, he’s too much for me.

  We both take a few seconds to compose ourselves and Austin puts his beautiful cock away and fixes up his uniform.

  “How do I look?” I ask as I wipe my hair back with my hands.

  His cringing face says it all.

  Shit. I quickly climb to my feet and look in the mirror on the wall. Double shit.

  My hair is a wild mess like I drove here with my head sticking out of the window and my mascara is leaking down my cheeks like I’m about to head off to an Alice Cooper concert.

  I can’t go out there like this.

  “You look like you were crying,” he says with a shrug. “You look like someone who was recently kidnapped.”

  He’s right. If it will help sell the story and get my man off
free, I’ll do it.

  We go out there and face the reporters. Austin leads the press conference, telling the story we made up about how I escaped and how a rival crew is suspected of killing the four men who took me.

  When he’s done, I read a prepared statement and everybody thinks that my runny mascara was from sad tears, when really they were from sexy tears.

  As soon as I say the last words, the reporters all jump up, shouting questions at me.

  Austin steps in front of me, blocking me from their view in that protective way he does. The way that gets my heart pumping.

  “No questions,” he barks at them. “Ellie has been through enough and she’s going to move on with her life.”

  He shoots them all a fierce look, daring them to harass me. One by one, they all sit back down and shut up.

  “Now then,” he says, rolling his massive shoulders. “We’re done here.”

  He takes my hand and pulls me backstage. The mayor wants to shake my hand and wish me a speedy mental recovery, but Austin blows past him, pulling me along with him right into the dressing room.

  “Now,” he says as he shuts the door and turns around with hungry eyes. “Now it’s your turn. Clothes off. Legs in the air. I want that ripe little pussy in my mouth.”

  I’m grinning uncontrollably as I do what he says.

  Who am I to disobey the Sheriff? ;)

  Epilogue

  Austin

  Eight months later…

  “Is that the whole house?” Ellie asks as I slide my hands down her thick hips. They’re wider now that she’s eight months pregnant and her extra size has been driving me crazy. I love her big hips.

  They’re perfect for making all of the babies I plan to stuff in her.

  I smell her sweet skin as I run the tip of my nose up the curve of her neck. She wraps her arms around me and moans as I start kissing her hot skin.

  “Not the whole house,” I say as my dick hardens. She does a sexy little gasp as I press it against her.

  “I think you’re wrong,” she says in a breathless tone. “We’ve fucked in the kitchen, the living room, the dining room, on the stairs, hallways, garage, basement, bathrooms, and of course the bedrooms.”

  She forgot the walk-in closet. We definitely fucked in there.

  “What are we missing?” she asks as I grab her tits that are getting even fuller now that she’s gonna have a baby to feed.

  “The attic,” I say as I give them a little squeeze.

  “You’re kidding, right?”

  I shake my head. “I told you I was going to fuck you in every room in our new house.”

  She laughs. “But the attic? What if there are ghosts up there?”

  “Then they’ll have a hell of a show.”

  It’s been a couple of days since we got the keys to our new house—a gorgeous six-bedroom house on a ten-acre ranch with stunning mountain views. Apparently, Austin has been squirreling all the money he made as Sheriff away for decades. He paid for our dream house in cash.

  None of our stuff is in here yet, but that hasn’t stopped us from christening every room on the hardwood floors and tiles.

  “I don’t want to go into the attic. It’s spooky.”

  My hands slide down to her ass and my blood starts pounding in my ears. I know that if I don’t get my cock into her soon, I’m going to explode.

  “I’ll protect you. That’s my job.”

  “How am I going to get up the steps? I’m huge! You’re going to make your pregnant mate climb up those creaky steps?”

  “No,” I say as I kiss a trail down to the top of her chest. She’s starting to breathe a little harder now. “I’m going to carry you.”

  She laughs. “That I would like to see. Okay. If you can get my pregnant ass up those steps, I’ll fuck you in the attic.”

  I duck down and scoop her up in one quick motion. She lets out a surprised scream as I pick her up and cradle her to my chest.

  “Easy,” I say as I carry her upstairs.

  I can smell how wet she is and my mouth is watering as I hurry.

  My dick is burning as I pull down the steps to the attic and easily carry her up.

  “That was… pretty impressive,” she says with a laugh. Her face is a little uneasy as she looks around at all of the dark corners up here. “Let’s make it fast, strongman.”

  I already have my cock out. “One quickie, coming up.”

  She pulls up her dress and my eyes roll into the back of my head as I sink my cock into her warm wet little hole.

  God damn…

  She’s so perfect.

  I might just have to fuck her on the roof too…

  Epilogue

  Ellie

  Six years later…

  I pack a snowball really hard and launch it at Austin’s ass. It hits his polar bear right in the butt and he turns around with a snort.

  “Sorry,” I say with a giggle as the bear seems to shake his head at me. “It was an accident.”

  The bear turns back around and I throw another one. This time I miss wildly.

  It’s Christmas Day and I’m feeling extra happy. It was snowing when we woke up and it hasn’t stopped. The big fat lazy snowflakes that are taking over the whole sky are making everything feel extra magical this morning.

  After we opened the presents and had breakfast, we all came outside to let the bears run around. My four little cubs are frolicking in the snow, wrestling and having a great time as Austin watches over all of us.

  I still have a ton of things to do with the entire Ridge family coming over for Christmas dinner tonight, but I’m not worried about that right now. I’m just enjoying the special moment with my family of polar bears.

  I’m the only one who’s unable to phase, so I’m the only one freezing my ass off.

  My littlest, Mikey, comes charging over and attacks the furry tassels on my boots. His bear is obsessed with them and for some reason has declared war on them. So far, the tassels are winning.

  I kick my feet away as he lunges on them and he dives headfirst into the fresh snow. His little face is covered with powder as he pops back up and I laugh at how darn cute he is.

  When he’s back to following his dad around, I start to pack some snow to build a snowman. I make three big balls, each one smaller than the last and pile them onto each other. It’s looking pretty good and I even go inside to get a top hat, scarf, and carrot for the nose.

  “Austin!” I call out when I’m done. “Come look at my new boyfriend!”

  The bear whips his head around with a stern look in his bright blue eyes. They narrow onto the snowman.

  “No!” I say as he starts running over in a huff. “It’s not my boyfriend! Forget that I said tha—No!”

  The jealous bear hits him with his big shoulder and my poor snowman doesn’t stand a chance. He crumbles to pieces at my possessive bear’s paws. Oh, well. I guess we were never meant to be…

  I giggle as my mate’s bear raises his chin in triumphant. I guess that was my fault for teasing a mated polar bear. I know he gets possessive and jealous about everything, but I didn’t think that applied to snow people as well.

  “That wasn’t very nice!” I say as I grab the top hat off the ground. I plop it on his head and start laughing. It starts as a giggle and then turns into a deep belly laugh as the bear just stares at me with a look that says, ‘really?’

  “Aren’t you fancy on Christmas,” I say as my eyes start to water, I’m laughing so hard. He looks like the mayor of the town in those Coca-Cola ads with the polar bears.

  He keeps it on, letting me have my fun as the four cubs start to fight over the carrot nose.

  It’s a crazy scene, but that’s my family, and that’s why I love them.

  All the Christmas presents in the world can’t compare to spending one day with them.

  I feel like it’s Christmas every day.

  Epilogue

  Austin

  Twenty years later…

  “O
h my God, I love her already,” Zoe says as her oldest son Jeremy walks his new mate onto the ranch.

  “She’s adorable!” Chloe says as she squeezes her hands together with a high-pitched squeal. “I love her red hair!”

  “And her freckles!” Kinsley adds.

  The young kid is only eighteen years old and he’s already found his mate. Lucky guy.

  I wrap my hand around Ellie’s thick hip and pull her against my side as we watch everyone gather around. There’s a ton of us now in the crew.

  Damon and Kinsley had five kids and I love my grandchildren to death. But they’re not the only ones. Everett and Chloe had five as well, and Cash and Zoe had four.

  Once I found Ellie, we had four beautiful children together.

  We’re all a big family now and every time we get together, which is probably way too often, it’s chaotic, deafening, and always a total blast.

  The kids are growing up fast and some of them have already started to find their own mates.

  Jeremy is the latest and he’s introducing her with a look of pure pride on his face.

  “My boy knows how to pick ‘em,” Cash says with a proud grin as he goes up to his son. “She’s gorgeous.”

  “Dad, this is Katie,” he says with his chest puffed up in pride. “My mate.”

  “Nice to meet you, Mr. Ridge,” Katie says with her cheeks blushing.

  Cash ignores her outstretched hand and pulls her in for a warm hug. “Welcome to the family,” he says as he squeezes her in a bear hug.

  Zoe rushes over next and gives her a hug as soon as Cash lets her go.

  This young girl walked into a warm loving family. She doesn’t know yet how lucky she is.

  Jeremy does the rounds, introducing her to everyone and by the time they’re done, I can tell that her head is swimming with two dozen names that she’ll never remember.

  I smile as I watch her. It won’t take long before she’s one of us. It never does.
