Wolfariane Daminor Throne spared him another glance, "I do not have to look glad to be glad, Alphose."
"Of course, Alpha King."
"You're dismissed."
He inclined his head slightly and faced the door.
"Oh, and Alphose?"
"Yes?" He turned.
Wolfariane finally put the signed documents away and looked at him fully, "You are a mountain lion, and you are starting to seem edgy. As a man who is a mountain lion and a werewolf, I can tell you that there is not much difference between the two species.
Both species need to let off some steams once in a while or the animal... will not be at rest." A surprisingly gentle look took over the frown that marred his face before, "You know how dangerous that can be."His Alpha is right and he knows it, "I will go for a run at sundown."
"Running can only take the edge off, you need séx." He said bluntly, "If running works so well, wolves wouldn't be saddled with the full moon which forces us to mate with females. You're long overdue, I can feel your cougar's uneasiness and you know what that means.
I can control myself but, you need to do something about it before the young males feeling it too, lose control and go around forcing themselves on females.""Of course, Alpha King. I will do something about it right away."
Wolfariane nodded his head once in agreement. Alphose inclined his head again before he walked out of the meeting Hall.
🌺OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA🌺Ismena stared dreadfully at the two white pills and three brown pills in her palm. She dreads popping pills. Hell, if only she can keep her heart beating perfectly without these damn drugs.
Swallowing tightly to wet her suddenly dry throat, she squeeeeeeeeeezed her eyes shut and threw the pills into her mouth. Without wasting any time, she downed it with water.
"Ena!? Dinner's ready!" Valentina's voice came all the way from the sitting room.
"Coming!" Her response was loud and quick. Aim? That'll stop her sister from coming up to her bedroom to tell her again thereby seeing her with her bottle of pills.
Speaking of her pills' bottle, it's almost empty. She had to get a refill and her drug cost an arm and two legs. After all her expenses, she doesn't have that kind of money left.
"Shit. I'll worry about you some other time." She told her bottle of pills before she opened her bedside drawers and slammed it back where it came from.
In the sitting room, she walked straight to the dining table where her family is already seated waiting for her and lowered herself to the only empty chair left.
As usual, they all bowed their heads while their mother prayed. Amelia is a very religious woman and she did her best to bring them up in a Christian way too. After prayer, they all dug into the food.
"So, how did the shopping go?" Valentina asked while trying to slice her stubborn beef into several pieces.
"Went well. Sandra helped me. I brought everything I'll need." She responded with her mouth filled with tater tot casserole.
"I'm so glad you took some time off work to come to stay with us," Amelia said, "We don't get to see you more often. These past three weeks have made me really happy, now I'm just sad that you're going back to work already."
"No, mother, I'm not going back to work. I'm leaving Oklahoma for NY."
Her parent's eyes widened together, glanced at each other before they focused their attention on her, "New York? Why?" Her mother asked.
"I've been in Oklahoma all my life. I want to see new places, get a different breath of fresh air, meet new people, explore new things, have some fun..." She shrugged, "It's like a vacation of some sort. For a week or two."
"Wow. I'm surprised. You always talked about how you hated traveling and making long distant journeys. We never thought you'll leave Oklahoma." Her father remarked, chewing on the salad in his mouth.
"Never thought I'll be dying soon, either." She mumbled under her breath.
"What was that?"
"Nothing." She was quick to reassure her father, "What I meant is that I think it's time I tried new things."
"We're definitely in support of you. Who knows, you might find a young man," A wistful smile clouded Amelia's slightly wrinkled but very beautiful face, "get married and have sweet beautiful children."
Valentina snorted out loud, "As if. Anyway, I agree with mother. For once you aren't working your ass off for that jerk boss of yours. Who knows, you might bag a hot dude."
"Well, that isn't the first thing on my mind, that's for sure. But if it works that way, it's all good too." Ismena lied, swallowing the sudden lump that formed in her throat. "Anyway, this meal tastes very delicious, mother. I have missed your home cooking."
She smiled warmly to her mother who returned the smile, "I'm really glad that you are here, Ena. When is your flight leaving?"
"In three days."
The clatter of the spoon dropped back onto the plate and filled the air. Amelia took her daughter's hand into hers from across the table, and squeezed gently, "I'll make sure I cook more of your favorite dishes in the next three days."
I'm dying. Tears prickled the back of her eyes, but she blinked hard to keep them away. "You're gonna get me fat, mama." She teased.
"A little fat won't hurt, you will still be beautiful."
She squeezed her mother's hand, "I love you, Mama."
"I love you too, my baby." Amelia grinned lovingly at her.
**************************************
Hours later, Alphose was in the house of Eline, a packmate and a friend. She'd offered him séx wholeheartedly when she got the slightest hint of his uneasiness, and he'd taken what she offered. Their pack is like family, they always help each other out especially when it comes to their changeling nature.
SĂ©xual contact when needed is freely given with warmth and genuine love for a packmate, and the males respect their women for it.
Alphose kissed Eline's forehead with gratitude and respect before he rose from the bed, and began putting on his clothes.
She dressed too and offered him dinner with a warm smile. He'd accepted. Together, they walked to the kitchen sat down on the chair, and watched her make omelets. His cougar is calm again, he is feeling more relaxed than he'd felt in a long time.
Eline has always been a good friend of his, so he told her about his run-in with a potential mate, and what the Alpha King has to say about that.
"He's glad she's dying?" Eline winced, "That's harsh, even for the Alpha King."
"It's not, really. You know why he hates 'normal' people. His experience with them was not a good one."
She nodded, "I will hate them too, hell, I did before." a smile feathered her lips, "but not anymore. Not all of them are like... 'them'. Besides, Kara and Nomah are my best friends now, I love them so much."
At the name of the two human mates of their packmates, Alphose smiled too. "Yeah, those two are angels. Wolfariane loves them too."
"Because they're family now." She parrotted, "The Alpha Called God has everyone's love and respect because he puts all of us first before himself. Once any changeling male mates a human female, he sets his differences aside and accepts the female as pack—as family."
Eline is right. "Well, I made a mistake there. I shouldn't have asked him what will happen if the dying unmated human female was his while knowing full well what he went through by their hands. I wasn't thinking clearly." he confessed.
"Your cougar was edgy. He knows and understands that too. The Alpha King is too damn strong. We struggle with our other halves every single day and lose control half of the time. Yet, he has two different powerful breeds inside him and barely loses control of anything." She shivered, "I wonder how he does it."
"No one knows, Eline. Coupled with what he went through in the hands of humans when he was younger?" He shook his head, "Other wolves went insane and turned rogue."
"He scares me to hell when I think of all these, even though I know he will NEVER hurt me." she smiled again, shaking the frying pan constantly, "Imagine if his mate is human? I know for sure the heavens won't play such a sick joke on him. He doesn't deserve it at all. Hell, even the human female doesn't deserve it at all."
Alphose snorted, "It's not possible. Even if we forget his legendary hate for the specie, there's still the fact that no human female can match him. Not in battle, and most especially, not his séxual appetite. She will die quicker than a rogue's mate."
"Speaking of death, you need to inform the other Alphas about the dying unmated human female you bumped into, so they can go check out their compatibility with her." Sadness and pity dripped from her voice, "I truly hope her compatibility with her mate will pass the average level. That way, her Alpha can sustain her with his own life."
"It's a rarity, Eline. Only two mates out of hundreds of mated couples have passed the average compatibility level. It's not really important. We are all lucky if we can get even a low level of compatibility—as far as there's compatibility at all."
"Yeah, I know. But it's important in her case." she moaned pity, turning off her cooker, "Poor woman... I feel pity for her alpha too, whoever he may be."
Alphose shrugged, "It cannot be helped. What's most important is for her mate to find her and claim her fast. Just intimacy with her alpha can do more than whatever drugs those humans are giving her now."
One week later...🌺LAVO NIGHTCLUB, NEW YORK🌺Ismena walked through the door of the club. All of the dancers were sultry-looking females, beautiful and nearly naked. Some of the men were laughing and dancing with these women. Some were taking shots of drinks at the bar-side.Wisps of smoke cast a dream-fog around them, and pinpricks of starlight rained from the swirling strobe, illuminating everything inside the darkened nightclub in slow, sweeping circles. From the corner of her eye, she caught a scintillating glimpse of a taut masculine ass pounding forward, back, forward, into an ecstatic woman. Ismena shook her head. These women that just bent to their waists and have séx in a club, how exactly do they manage to just do so with reckless abandon?She wants wild, but not this wild.These past few days have been glorious for her. She walked towards the bar and ordered her drink, she was smiling as she remembered her fun time in the amusement park. She'd conquered her lifelong fear
Wolfariane Daminor Throne wanted nothing more than to ignore the woman when these men had followed her to the bathroom because he does not give a damn about her specie, but when he'd heard her scream, his wolf and cougar had woken at the same time in alert, and bared their teeth.They agreed long ago that they hated non-changelings. So, why was she able to wake him?He'd tried to ignore it anyway, but his sensitive hearing suddenly became more attuned to the sounds coming from the bathroom of the restroom than loud music of the club. He heard her muffled screams, even the almost soundless movements of her struggles. The wolf became more restless, which in turn, made him restless.Now, he walked through the door he'd just broken its lock in one push and closed it behind him, peering at the weasels who held the girl."Leave us to our fun, man. We found her first." The one pinning her down said bravely to him. Swallowed tightly, he added hopefully, "You can go after us if you want a piec
Wolfariane dumped her on the bed and rose. He took a moment to arrange his clothing, scowling more at the untidiness and slight wrinkling of his suit. Damn drunk female."I can seeeeeeeeeeee the thundeeeer! It's vibrating my beeeeeeeeed! I think I'm gonnaaaaa vanish—" she gagged again. "I don't feel so good, big guy.""You are drunk and drugged. You have no business feeling good tonight.""Aaaaaah," she nodded her head in understanding. Accompanied with a huge smile, "But, that is where you're wrooooooooong!" she sang. "I feel like I can flyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!"Wolfariane shook his head. "I hope we do not see again, female." He faced the door and walked—A feminine hand grabbed his...and tugged hard.He wasn't expecting it, he lost his footing to the direction she tugged him to and fell right on top of her, breaking his fall in the last minutes with the hands that shot out on either side of her head—which held his upper body away from her, instead of crashing full-body on her."Ooooh, look
Minutes later, with some form of control reinstated, he tried to survey his situation rationally.He has found his mate and she is dying. And she is non-changeling.Memories filled his head of a time he wishes never to remember ever again. After all these years, the pain is still deeply ingrained in him. The reason why his mountain lion is more feral than any other changeling's in Naturiah and his wolf is the most séxually insatiable, rough, and fierce.How does he handle this? Can he handle this?A few minutes later, he came out expecting to see her sleeping because of the silence of the bedroom, but she was awake. She smirked at the sight of him. "You are back.""I do not have the intentions of taking a mate or having a child, least of all not a non-changeling mate because I have no liking for them, and most especially, not one who's drunk, sassy, and a trouble magnet." The woman is the complete opposite of him.Ismena isn't understanding half of the words coming out of the man's mo
Ismena woke up early the next morning with a clanging headache. "Awwggh," she moaned, palming her banging head.Where am I? The events of the night before filled her head, most of them anyway. Those men had tried to rape her, and she was rescued by—Big Bad Wolfe! Where is he?Eyes darted around the empty bedroom. He's gone. Did he...?Eyes darted to her body. Nope, he didn't take advantage of her. Then, other memories came rushing in; the way she'd forced him to save her, he'd carried her out of the nightclub and brought her here. She'd propositioned him for séx!"Unholy pants, did I really do that!?" She cringed, horrified as more memories pricked her clanging head. "Oh, my... What the hell did I do?"Shit, she's the one that almost took advantage of the man. Bad Ismena, very bad girl.Rising from the bed, she reached for the room phone and ordered some hangover tea. She's feeling surprisingly good this morning, too good. Wasn't her chest burning the night before? Her meds have fi
Eighteen years ago...UNKNOWN LABORATORY IN AMERICA🌺"Inject him again." A cold voice."Not again, Dr. Angor. I t-think he'll d-die at this rate. Number 10 and Number 12 died this afternoon." A nervous male voice. "Weaklings! All of them!" Dr. Angor thundered angrily. "That's how many? Thirteen this week?""Fifteen." Hector's nervous voice came again."Animals!" He thundered again. Then, he turned and faced a particular 'cage'. A huge wolf lay behind the iron bars glaring at him with so much rage, Dr. Angor will not stand in front of 'it' if not for the unbreakable bars that separated them. "I have my eyes on this one now. He is my only hope.""Number 6!?" Hector shrieked, swallowing tightly."Yes. You'd better be giving me positive results on this one, Hector. He is the strongest of them all. Focus all your experiments on him." Dr. Angor ordered.Hector glanced at the feral wolf, fear filled him. Just the size of the wolf is terrifying, and the boy is only fifteen years old. He kno
This ring belongs to Big Bad Wolfe."Ohmigod, Ohmijesus, Ohmimary!" Ismena bent down and picked up the ring again, and the pearl that fell out of it. She put the pearl in her pocket and stared at the ring in total horror.What to do, what to do, what to do??"Is anything the matter?" The pawnbroker asked again in concern.She ignored him, talking to herself. "Oh, Ismena, it's just like you to steal from someone that saved your life! Heavens, and this looks very expensive. What of its very valuable to him? What if he starts looking for you?" Vividly, she can still remember Big Bad Wolfe from the night before. That man that looks like he eats bones for breakfast and drinks blood when he's thirsty, will definitely dismember her; chew on her flesh and use her hair for a hand fan.The images she created in her head made her shiver. She shook her head vigorously to banish them. "No, no, no, let's rationalize this.""First of all, I didn't know that it was his ring; I thought it belonged to
As the sun goes down, the early evening came with fresh air that is very refreshing. Wolfariane walked out of his tower into the wild zone that is the heart of Naturiah.He favored a good walk on a nice evening, to clear his mind a bit before he goes hunting.Passing packmate homes and dwellings which give way to trailing edges of the forests and walking through the woods, he isn't surprised to see so many young children goofing around; laughing, and playing chase.Some of them were in their animal forms. Kittens, puppies, and cubs chased each other while screaming loudly, some of them were fighting and scratching each other. When a certain group of cubs saw him, they ran toward him with joy and excitement."Alpha King!" The boys shrieked as they flooded him while the cubs reached him faster because they are in their animal form, and threw themselves at him.He caught as few as he could, while the others climbed his body. Some held on to any part of his evening garment they could grab
