“Why is that?” Now she was curious. “I can’t even walk in that form, so I know I couldn’t protect myself so why would you be worried about them?”
“I’m not. I’m worried about you, love,” Miklos said honestly, his tone soft. “They wouldn’t play fair,” he murmured his words gentle but the meaning behind them harsh. “I’d have to do something I swore I never would. But for you I’d do anything,” he promised trying to skate around what he was referring to as much as possible.
“My head hurts too much to listen to double-talk, Miklos. Please tell me just what you are talking about? I want to know what it is that you’re talking about, and no dancing around anything, all right?”
Growling softly he pushed a hand through his hair and sighed. “There are unmated wolf males in the pack, Harker. While you carry my scent, you are also new enough to the change that they would likely have their hormones override their sense of the way things are and just take you. They could hurt you, Harker, and that is a death sentence.”
Eyes grew wide as she looked at him. It was likely several long minutes before she realized her mouth was hanging open and closed it shut with a snap and shook her head. “Oh god, you mean that they would, while I was in that form they could…” She trailed off as the implications sank in. “Right, yes, just us, Miklos, because I don’t think that I could survive a wolf rape.”
Reaching out he cupped her cheek. “I’m not going to let anything happen to you, love, ever,” he promised softly. “You are mine to protect, always,” he said before pulling her close to hug her. “I didn’t want to scare you, love.” But she had been right. She deserved to know just what might befall her if she wasn’t careful for the first while.
“I know you didn’t, Miklos, but I had to know.” She pulled back and looked up into his eyes. “If I didn’t know I wouldn’t know what to look for and how to avoid it. Now that I know, you can help me learn to protect myself from it, yes?”
“Yes,” he said with a nod. “I just don’t want you to worry. You’ve been through so much, Harker, so much in so little time. I worry that I’m burdening you with too much too soon. I know how strong you are, Harker. I see it in every movement you make, in the depth of your eyes, but everyone has a point they just can’t go beyond.”
“And yet you can’t protect me from life, Miklos. I will be hurt, you will be hurt, but we will survive. We will push past the pains, push past the hurts and move on. We will love each other without any hesitation because that is who we are.” She paused then. “But part of that loving is letting us accept and do for ourselves as well.”
Making a face Miklos wrinkled his nose. “You just had to throw that last part in there, didn’t you?” he asked with a resigned tone. “I love you, Harker. You know that you can do anything you want. Just know that I’ll always be there if you need me, darling.”
“I know you will, Miklos. You wouldn’t be you any other way.” She smiled softly for him, and him alone before pulling back slightly. “Now then, I believe that I would like to sometime or another go and meet the family. I should get to know them, right?” Especially since Janos had helped her through the change, she owed him, big time.
“We can do that if you want, Janos and Mina should be around the house, Ben, Kris, and Laz are likely working but we might be able to entice them over for dinner or we could check out Ben’s shop if you want,” he offered.
“How about we start with Janos and Mina and then Ben’s shop. We will invite them all over for dinner after we know how I will react around people.” She was afraid she would hurt someone in her new state, so she would rather be safe than sorry.
Glancing to her he knew he could say anything he wanted to try and ease her mind but he stayed silent since he knew, from experience, that only time would reassure her. “Sounds good to me, love,” he told her softly. “But, just so you know…” Come on, it was him. He couldn’t resist. “My brothers likely won’t be offended if you chase them down to sniff their crotches.”
Her mirth started as a grin, then bloomed into a chuckle and turned into a side-holding full-out laugh that was from the gut. “Oh god.” She shook her head and laughed even more. “That’s…” She couldn’t breathe and tears streamed down her face. “Oh god.”
Grinning at her he wiped at the tears on her face. “Yeah, I know, it was bad of me and now you’ll be overly conscious of the temptation, but do try to resist. I’m not sure how you’ll react to the water bottle of behavioral adjustment.” He chuckled.
That sobered her quickly as she frowned. “They would do that to me? I would think that they would be more than willing to allow a female to sniff at their crotches.” She grinned as she added, “Unless it would be you using the water bottle of behavior adjustment?”
“I’d be the one using it,” he said, narrowing his eyes on her. “Those faithless rats would be enjoying it much too much,” he said, shaking his head. “Maybe a frying pan upside their heads,” he murmured more to himself as he thought of ways to ensure his brothers behaved around his mate.
“And if I decide to sniff at your crotch?” She was feeling wonderful. The teasing was very good for her, and for him, too. “Would you use the water bottle on me then as well?” She knew full well he wouldn’t.
“Hell no, I’d have you on the floor so fast, my love, that your head would spin.” He smiled moving closer to her. “After that I think I’d just let nature take its course, whatever it might be.”
“Gods, Miklos, do you know just how hard it is to make myself follow through with the knowledge that we need to get out? Right now all I can think about is your hard cock and wanting to suck you off until you can’t take it and fuck me hard, rough, fast, and make me scream as I come.”
Growling at her he shook his head. “I think we did that earlier,” he pointed out. “And you were the one that said she wanted to go and meet the family. Apologize to Janos for puking all over him and his house, meet the others and so forth. I was all for just staying here and letting you do whatever you wanted.” He grinned at her.
She narrowed her eyes on him and growled. “Well that was before I was sure I was in heat and now all I can bloody damn well think about is having you fucking me, having us all naked and sweaty in any way possible.”
“You know I’m all about getting naked and sweaty with you, darling, but you were the one that wanted to visit family,” he felt the need to point out again, him and his sick humor. “But if you’d rather wait for another day I suppose”—he heaved a put-upon sigh—“we could delay so you can ravish me as you will.”
Narrowing her gaze at him she shook her head. “I want to delay it more than a day, Miklos. As long as I’m feeling like this I don’t want to be around our family. The need to be with you is too great. The need to simply throw off clothes and fuck each other is riding me hard.”
“So we delay a day or ten, I’m all good with it.” He smiled slowly at her. “Do as you will with me, darling. I am yours to command,” he teased, wondering what she’d do with his willingness to comply so easily to her needs and demands.
She growled and snapped her teeth. “You aren’t supposed to be so willing.” Where the hell that came from she didn’t know. “How do I know that you really deserve me?” Again, who the hell was pulling her vocal strings?
“I was wondering when that was going to come up,” he muttered, eyeing her as he moved away from her and out of the shower, knowing that, at this point, anything could happen. “I thought you wanted me willing, love,” he said in a louder tone, his voice soft but with a hint of steel. “But if you want otherwise you know that all you have to do is say the word.”
She didn’t even think. Her Wolf was more in control than she was and she jumped at Miklos, a growl in the base of her throat, claws instead of her hands, and attacking the man she loved. The human inside of her was screaming for it to stop. She didn’t understand what was happening but the Wolf refused to listen and demanded a mate who was more than her equal.

Eyes widening he shifted his stance and, when she came at him, he met her head-on. Capturing her wrists in his hands he took her to the ground. Growling at her in return when she tried to snap at him with her teeth he got her down with his greater weight and then flipped her to her belly. Lying over her with his full weight he rubbed his cock against her ass. “Is this what you want, Harker?” he asked, his tone deceptively soft.
The tones were low and gravelly as she said, “Fuck you.” Twisting and turning she tried to get away from him, the human inside of her crying, the Wolf demanding to have everything.
Chuckling at her words he bit her neck just hard enough to get her attention. “Oh darling, that is definitely the plan,” he promised her. Shifting her hands to one of his he held her tight enough that she’d likely have bruises for a short time later, but in the now he was a little more worried about his eyes. Stroking his fingers between her legs he breathed her in. “You want me, don’t you, love?” he asked before biting her shoulder with a bit of force.
It was the human side of Harker that sobbed his name and the Wolf growled her acceptance. “Yes,” both said in unison. Harker was scared, but so turned on she could barely see straight and when his fingers dipped into her weeping, pulsating pussy she cried out and pushed back on his hand. “Miklos, please.” It was all human her tone, no bite of Wolf to it, simply a woman begging for her man.
There she is, he thought with a smile as he shifted and, with no warning, drove his cock into her hard. He kept her hands confined. He wasn’t ready to test her will over that of the Wolf just yet. Holding her hips up with an arm he slammed his aching cock into her pussy again, his balls slapping against her clit. Then, slowly, rotated his hips to put pressure on just where she liked it. “Please what, my love?” he whispered by her ear before biting and lightly scraping his teeth over the shell of it.
“More, Miklos,” she panted out loudly and wiggled, trying to push back against him. “God that feels so good. Harder.” That was her Wolf growling, demanding more of her mate, and it made him smile.
“Patience, my sweet,” he taunted and pulled his face back to avoid her teeth. “For shame, love, trying to do me damage like that.” He’d smack her rear for that one later. Adjusting his hold he did as she asked though and took her harder and faster, the firmness of the floor ensuring she wouldn’t move.
Each stroke into her pussy sent flames up and down her spine. She was spinning out of control, her body and mind both exploding with need, desire. As he fucked her, pounded his cock into her aching cunt she whimpered, cried out, and then screamed as her orgasm shot through her like a bolt of lightning, her whole body shaking with the feelings he incited.
“There you are,” Miklos breathed a moment before he came, her name a startled yelp. Shaking, his eyes rolling back in his head and his body strung tight, he buried himself balls deep as his body filled hers over and over with his seed. Panting he collapsed over her moments later, his forehead on her shoulder and, finally, he released his hold on her wrists.
She was gasping for air as she lay under him, her wolf curled up and content inside and the woman simply amazed by what had happened. She couldn’t move, let alone speak, for a while and when she did speak it was a hoarse whisper of sound. “God that was…” She searched for the right word and finally settled on, “Incredible.”
Nipping at her shoulder Miklos rolled off of her to lay on his back at her side. Rolling his head to look at her he smiled slightly. “Glad you liked it,” he murmured. “But the next time you have a mind to jump me with claws out, know I may not be nearly as accommodating, darling mine.”
“I will try.” She rolled and curled into him with a smile on her face. “Tell the Wolf though, Miklos, I don’t know how to control her.” Yet, she would learn though. She would have to learn to control the Wolf so that she didn’t lose her mate, her Miklos.
“She just needs a little gentling and, when she gets too feisty I will just have to show her who’s boss,” he teased with a grin on his face. Rolling into her quaking body, he kissed her softly and stroked his hand slowly down her spine. “Are you all right?” he asked softly. “I didn’t mean to hurt you, Harker. You know that, right?”
She nodded her head and looked up with a goofy grin on her face. “You didn’t hurt me, Miklos. I was afraid because I couldn’t control her but god that felt so good.” She stroked a finger over his chest. “I love you, Miklos, and my god that was the most amazing thing I have ever felt in my life.”
“It’ll get easier in time, love, I promise,” he murmured pulling back. Lying with his forehead touching hers and his nose gently brushing back and forth against hers he smiled. “Not for the first little while, but in time you’ll have greater control over her.”
“I hope so.” Her eyes were open and on him. She could only see him with as close as they were. “I was so afraid I would hurt you, Miklos. I never want to feel that fear again, that uncertainty.” She sighed. “Promise me you will never let her hurt you? Hurt her, me, if you have to take us down, but please don’t let her hurt you or any of our loved ones?”
“Darling, you won’t hurt me, trust me, love. I’ve seen enough Wolf couples to know what signs to be aware of. And I promise, if I have to, I’ll sit on you until your Wolf learns to play nice with the man in your life.”
“I am going to trust you on that one, Miklos.” She laid her head back down and sighed. “Now I think a nap is really in order.” She was sated, physically, emotionally, and happy. Good time for sleep. “I love you, Miklos. Later we will go and see Janos and Mina, for now I just want to be here with you all content and cuddly.”
“Darling, we’re in the middle of the bathroom. Don’t you think the bed might be a better option for a nap?” he asked her softly.
She grinned and shook her head. “I guess I lost myself on where we were.” Looking up and around she shrugged. “Wherever is closest works for me.” Sitting up fully now, she stretched her hands high up and over her head, popping her back as she arched and stretched.
Pushing to his feet he held out his hands and, when she took them, he hoisted her up and over his shoulder. “Bed works, more room there,” he told her as she squawked at his treatment of her. Nipping at her hip he lightly smacked her bare, upturned bottom and headed into their room.
“Do it again,” she heard herself asking. “Smacking my bottom, it felt so…” Amazing, nice, wonderful. “Good” She chose the lesser of them all to describe her feelings.
There was a pause in his steps before he did as she requested and smacked her bottom again with the exact same force, ever careful not to hurt her. “Are you trying to tell me you need a spanking, my sweet?” he asked.
“Yes.” Oh boy did she need a spanking. “God that feels so very good. I never would have dreamed this would have felt so very good.” Shuddering slightly she ran her hands down his back and then squeezed his ass. “God we just finished having mind-blowing sex and yet my body is demanding more again.”
“You’re not human anymore, love,” he reminded her as he bent to let her down from his shoulder. Straightening he backed her to the bed. “You’re going to feel hungrier, needier, and a hell of a lot hornier pretty much all the time,” he told her. Lifting her slightly he tossed her on the bed and followed, flipping her onto her stomach and smacking her bottom again with just enough force so she’d notice. “You will feel new cravings, new desires, and want a whole whack of new things to happen. Don’t fight it but you will need to learn to curb the desires, especially in public. The police frown on public nudity and sexual acts,” he teased, leaning in to bite one of her ass cheeks lightly.
“It’s a good thing that you are a cop,” she said as she got up on her knees and pushed back against him. “God this feels so amazing.” She groaned delightfully with a happy grin.
Growling softly he sank his teeth into her ass cheek carefully, squeezing just enough to see her shiver. Pulling back he smacked her bottom again ever careful to not a
ctually cause her harm. “You like the spanking or the nibbling?” he asked, curious as to what was turning her on so quickly. He could smell her feminine arousal from where he was clearly and knew she was ready for him if he decided to take her again right then.
“The spanking, the nibbling, both.” She felt a full-body shiver move over her body. “Oh god, Miklos.” She growled, not a Wolf growl, but the human inside of her. The human who was relishing this action, this moment so tremendously.
“Do you want me to continue with your spanking?” he asked as he rubbed his hand over her bottom, letting his thumb stroke up between her cheeks and rubbed at her anus lightly. Leaning in he bit her as he rubbed slowly, dragging his teeth over her other cheek and nipping now and again.
“Yes,” she shouted in shocked pleasure. “Yes, please don’t stop, Miklos, just what you’re doing, it feels too good, don’t stop.” She pushed back on his thumb, pulling him more into her body, begging him to give her more of the simple action he was giving her now.
Shifting his hand despite her complaints he slid a finger through her wet pussy before he pressed it to her other opening and slowly in. Gently he nibbled on her, his other hand sliding to push two fingers deep into her body.
She was panting as she felt his fingers inside of her body. Nodding she bit her lip. “So good.” She moaned and shivered. “I need you again, Miklos, and I need you, sweetheart, again I need you.”
Moving he kneeled behind her body and, moving his one hand, he slid his engorged cock into her cunt. “No arguments,” he whispered against her shoulder as he bent over her, his one finger still pressing deeper into her anus.
Clenching on his cock tightly she pushed back against him. “Miklos.” She groaned and moved her legs farther apart and moved on him, pushing back and forth with him as he pumped harder and harder into her pussy.
“Do you want your mating mark back?” he asked softly as he nipped at her shoulder, his body moving brutally in and out of hers. “Do you want a permanent one, my love?”
