LAMIA
I was sitting perched on the toilet in my bathroom, while Kira was adding some curls to my hair. We were getting ready for the party.
I wasn’t really one for dresses, but Kira had insisted I buy the grey wool skirt that came above my knees and the forest green three-quarter length top with a deep v-neck. The neckline was decorated with tiny jewels, enhancing my perky breasts. She made me wear my knee-high black boots again and lent me a gold necklace with green jewels and matching gold earrings.
I have to say I did truly like the outfit and felt very comfortable in it. I had put minimal makeup on, as usual, a little mascara, and some light pink lip gloss. My lip was still swollen and still had a small cut from our training this afternoon when I took that punch. It wasn’t too bad; at least there were no black eyes today!
Kira was wearing her brown curls loose as usual and was sporting a red silk dress that came halfway down her thighs, topping off the look with cat eyes and deep red lipstick. And some black open-toed heels. She looked amazing, like a true Luna.
I smiled at my friend through the mirror, she grinned back as she finished adding curls to my hair. The one black streak curled and hung over my face a little. I sighed, looking at it. Most people thought I dyed that streak, because it was black, or to be rebellious like I was trying to give myself a badass look, but I really didn’t care what they thought. I knew my streak was from my wolf. A little bit of Inanna I got to show the world permanently. It was us and I would never change it.
Inanna and I were different. Our relationship was special. We were both wild and strong and clever. And for whatever reason, the Goddess had decided we did not have to bow to anyone we didn’t want to. Not my father, not any Alpha or Luna, not even the king! They held no power over us. I only chose to bow to the king out of respect.
And Kellen, well, that was a little more complicated. My feelings for him were different. I had chosen a long time ago to submit to him. I vowed to protect and love him like no other. And because of my loyalty to him, we were gifted with a connection, an unbreakable bond. I would give my life for Kellen.
Inanna was the one that grounded me; she was wise and would often show me what was right, she was my guide, my wolf, my spirit. I was lucky to have such a strong wolf and get her at such an early age. I guess my parent's mating and Alpha blood really paid off.
It was then that Kira pulled me out of my thoughts.
“I don’t know where you are, Lamia. But we are going to paartay!” she sang. “Tonight we get to drink, dance, and chase the boys!” Oh, how Kira loves to chase the boys. I giggled at her. Maybe tonight I will find someone to kiss. That would be cool, something to look forward to.
“So basically, you are forcing me to have fun? Is that what you are saying?”
She rolled her eyes, “I doubt anyone could make you do anything, but yes, I am forcing you, if that is how you want to put it.”
“Well, my best girlfriend, I guess I have no choice but to be dragged out and have a few drinks!” I smirked, playing along. I wasn’t much for dancing either, but I could sure drink and had no problem eyeing up the yummy guys that would be there.
Knock
Knock
“Come in!” I yelled, knowing full well Kellen and Mike were behind the door.
“You ladies ready?” He said, stepping inside and Mike following him.
Kellen was wearing dark blue jeans and a long-sleeved blue top that just made his ocean blue eyes brighter, and his wavy ash-brown hair was left to fall in its own way, looking as handsome as ever. His bulging arms and broad shoulders filled out the sleeves of his shirt.
Mike was wearing black jeans and a dark grey button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up, the shirt hugging his bulky arms in all the right places. He had left the top couple of buttons undone, hinting at a firm and broad chest. His short-cropped brown hair was styled to the side and his hazel eyes sparkled with his ever-present mischievousness. He was tall at 6’ 3”, just a little shorter than Kel, and I couldn’t help but wonder how much more he would fill out once his wolf matured.
At 18, when we were old enough to find our mate, our wolves matured and kept maturing until we were 21.
Along with our wolves maturing, there also came other changes; we would grow stronger, the males filling out to their true potential and strength. Strong males would gain more power and if you found your mate and claimed them you would become even more powerful.
She-wolves would also mature but in a different way, more nurturing, and once we found our mates, our need to produce pups would become stronger.
I bit my lip at the thought of Mike becoming even more gorgeous than he already was and averted my gaze back to Kellen who was scowling, not at me but at his best friend. I wondered if Mike had pissed him off in some way.
Who knew with those two, even though my relationship was strong with Kellen, Mike, and him, well they had their own bromance going on.
“AHH! Just a minute, I think us four need a pre-drink before we wander over there.” Kira grinned and rummaged through her tote that was lying on my bed, pulling out four shot glasses and a bottle of clear liquid.
“Shit, girl, that’s what I’m talking about!” Mike happily grabbed the bottle as Kira set the shot glasses down and Mike began to fill them.
We held our glasses high. “Salute!” we all said. I looked at Mike, who winked before knocking his shot back, and I followed suit. The liquid was harsh and burnt my throat a little but once settled, left a warm feeling in my tummy.
Another one down the hatch and we’re off to the 'abandoned mansion' which wasn’t very far, a 10 min walk at the most.
*****
MIKE
The girls were walking ahead of us as the run-down mansion came into view. It was a short walk from the dorms and I could already see the party was in full swing and hopping.
Party’s meant alcohol and she-wolves, lots of she-wolves. And my wolf shared the same hunger for an aroused female.
Although the female I really wanted to be aroused was walking right in front of me. Her hips swayed as she walked, her gray skirt hugging her curves, making my dick already swell. To say I was attracted to Lamia was an understatement, my body craved to feel hers, to have her legs wrap around me, to feel her plump lips wrap around my dick. I knew she was likely not my mate, and probably Kellen's, which was the only reason I truly held back from trying to charm her into my bed. I had always found Lamia beautiful.
Then again, what guy didn’t? She was tall, strong, smart, and with the most alluring emerald eyes. I don’t think she even realized her eyes screamed come fuck me to every male she met.
My dick twitched in my pants like it was trying to point and guide me to her. I took a deep breath, pushing the images of her long legs around me to the back of my mind. She had always been like a sister to me, and I had never thought about her like that until, one day, just before their sixteenth birthdays, before we left for Alpha and Beta training, we were hanging out at the palace pool. We were waiting for Lamia and a couple of other friends to arrive.
She caught my eye as she walked out of the palace and over to the pool with two of her friends, smiling and laughing about something.
She had a towel wrapped around her and as she reached the poolside she absently tossed the towel on one of the loungers, revealing an orange bikini that didn’t leave a lot to the imagination. I stayed in the pool, my eyes taking in every inch of her body, my dick getting hard at the sight of her barely covered tits. I realized at that moment how much Lamia had filled out and was becoming a woman.
I was finally able to peel my eyes off her, looking around to see if anyone else had noticed my growing arousal towards her. They hadn’t. Because each of my friends, including Kel, were mirroring my feelings, every fuckin' male at the pool had their eyes on her. Eyes dark with lust, following her movements.
I shook my head at the memory, bringing me back to reality, that day she had been the talk of the locker room. And every girl I have fucked so far held nothing to her. Sure, I enjoyed myself and brought pleasure to the she-wolves I was with, but it was her I really wanted for the past year and a half, and I liked to practice on other girls, all the things I wanted to do to her.
As we reached the house, we entered through a large door, opening it and hearing the music louder, confirming the party that was taking place. The girls had linked arms and were making their way to the kitchen where the booze was usually located. I honestly wasn’t even sure who supplied the food and beverages, but once a month there always happened to be a fully supplied party. And I was defiantly going to take advantage.
“Right ladies and your highness!” I exclaimed, clapping my hands together as we made our way through the bodies “what can I pour for you?”
“Something fruity for me please!” Kira giggled.
“I’m good.” Kel was already holding a beer he had picked up from a bucket by the counter. Usually, at parties, he preferred to drink from a bottle. This way, Lamia didn’t have to be so over-protective and taste his drink first, in case someone poisoned it. I wasn’t sure when she had started that habit, but no matter where we went, she would taste his food and drink before him.
It truly annoyed the shit out of Kellen, but she insisted that, if someone was going to try anything she would go down first. Always the protector of her King. It kinda pissed me off too, as his Beta, it should really be me taste-testing his food, but I know he would absolutely kick my ass if I did that. Only Lamia could get away with that kind of stuff.
I looked at Lamia, who gave me a knowing glance, tilting her perfect head to the side and smirking. Rum. She always liked rum and the darker the better. I proceeded to pour her dark rum and found some coke to add to it, then handed it to her and poured myself one too.
Kira was a lightweight when it came to drinking, whereas me, Kel and Lamia could really knock them back. It took quite a bit of alcohol for the three of us to get wasted, but not impossible.
“What up guys? Did you just get here?” Sam, another Beta who was here for training and stayed on the same floor of our dorm, came up holding a cup with something in it.
We quickly made friends with him and his Alpha, Greg.
They were from the Crescent moon pack and their pack were allies of the king. So, of course, we had found some common ground and they treated me and Kellen like regular people, old friends. I watched his gaze drift to Lamia and slowly scan her from top to bottom and then back up again.
“Hey Lamia, loved watching you in training today. You truly are a goddess in the ring.” He smiled and gave her a short bow, his eyes never leaving hers. I didn’t like it. He was undressing her with his dark brown eyes that held a hint of lust. I found myself growling lowly.
I wasn’t the only one that was growling. I noticed Kel was also having a hard time at the way this guy was mentally undressing her and his eyes were slightly glowing, his wolf pushing forward.
“OK, boys! Let’s leave these ladies to it and go harass some other females, shall we?” I glanced at Lamia as I said this to see if she reacted anyway. She didn’t. Of course, she didn’t, she had no attraction to me.
“I’ll see you later, behave. And let me know if you have any problems.” Kel said as he pulled Lamia close and kissed her on the forehead.
“Likewise, behave. “ She replied sternly. “And no fighting without me!” she called as we headed for the back garden where Sam was leading us too.
I don't know about you guys, but I kinda really like Mike.
LAMIA The party was in full swing and Kira and I had had a few drinks. She now led me by the hand into a large room where people were dancing. I was feeling the beat and started swaying my hips; Kira had already locked eyes with a male and was subtly and seductively dancing her way toward him. She grinned like a Cheshire cat at me as the male whose attention she wanted to grab snaked his arms around her waist from behind. I chuckled to myself as she leaned into him and started grinding her ass against him. I leaned towards her ear so she could hear me over the loud music.“Hey, I’m going to grab another drink.” “ OK, don’t expect me to be here when you get back.” A sly smile on her face and she turned around locking lips with the guy. Oh yes, my dear friend, I knew exactly where she would be. One way or another around some guy's cock. Such a slut. I gave her a knowing pat on the shoulder as she proceeded to suck face and headed back towards the kitchen for another drink. I was star
LAMIA I woke up to a loud knocking on my door. “Go away!” I yelled, pulling the covers over my head. My head was groggy from the alcohol and my eyes felt puffy from crying last night. The knocking continued and I yelled for them to go away again. I really didn’t want to see anyone right now, especially Kellen or Mike. They had both royally pissed me off last night. And I couldn’t help feeling embarrassed about what could have, what I had hoped, what was going to happen between Mike and me. Much to my dismay, the door creaked open, I obviously hadn’t locked it, and Kira’s too bright of a face popped around the frame. “Hey Chick,” she said a little too brightly, making her way in and settling on the end of the bed. “Go away Kira, I don’t wanna see anyone.” I groaned. “You missed breakfast, and I… ran into Mike and Kel down there.” “Oh, goddess! Did they say anything?” I tried pulling the covers more over my face but Kira pulled them down. Her lips pressed in a tight line and her
LAMIA Ten minutes later, the four of us, I had grabbed Kira on the way, sat in my room. Mike and Kel were looking a little more than awkward. I assumed they thought we were going to have a “talk” about what happened Friday night. “Here,” I said and tossed the old leather book to Kellen who was propped on the end of my bed, “Turn to page 123. And read it out loud so everyone can hear.” He flipped the pages until he came to the right one and then began to read aloud the same passage I had read. There was an eerie silence in the room when he had finished until Mike broke it. “Well, that explains a lot. About you anyway and where your strength comes from.” Mike sat back in the chair he had taken residence in and rubbed his hand over his face. Kellen was staring off into space outside my window and Kira was the only one who looked excited and had a smile plastered across her face. “So what does this mean?” Kira asked. I licked my lips, glancing at Mike before I looked at Kellen. “Ina
LAMIA I was wearing my standard training clothes, black shorts, and a sports bra. My hair was braided into a bun so I could keep it out of my face. Walking on the training field, I grabbed a short sword and claymore. The Claymore was much heavier than that of a samurai or katana and even heavier than a Kaskara, but I liked the heaviness and power. The short sword was easier to wield, allowing my wrist to rotate and slice. Not that the weapons we used really had a sharp edge but could still do some damage to an opponent. Of course, the idea of our training was to not kill, but if you got hit with one, it would definitely maim you or kill you if you were impaled. I saw Kira sitting on the bench with Travis; a young Alpha from the northern region. His pack was also allies of the Moon crescent pack and the Royal kingdom. Travis’ father, Alpha Benjamin, had known the King since their days here, and became friends. I had found Kira at the training grounds quite often, and now she and Travi
KELLEN The three of us sat in mine and Mike’s suite, of course, being a Prince, I had one of the largest suites. It still wasn’t as big as my room back in the palace, but it was cozy and better than most of the dorms here. I didn’t need fancy all the time and the rooms' functions were suited to the academy. Mike and I had bedrooms at opposite ends of the suite, with our own bathrooms. In the middle was a seating area with two ugly plaid couches and a wooden chair with corduroy backing and seat cover. We had a microwave and fridge that Mike always kept stocked with beer or some sort of alcohol. And a little breakfast counter with two stools that separated the seating space from the kitchenette area. The hardwood floors had been remodeled or at least refinished and had a nice sheen to them to the point where you could almost see your own reflection. We were waiting for my father to call us once Beta Michael (Mike’s dad) and Delta Marcus (Lamia’s dad) were there to conference with us.
KELLEN Lamia stood up and walked over to the fridge grabbing a couple more beers. We followed suit and I propped myself up against the breakfast bar on the kitchenette side. She handed me a beer, and then Mike. “Thanks, I’m going to go call my dad from my room, see what plans he wants to go over.” With a shrug of his shoulders accompanied by an eye roll, Mike sauntered to his door, entering and closing it behind him. I’m sure he will fill me in later. It was the Beta’s job to ensure the security of the pack grounds and people and, as Mike would be taking over from his dad when I was initiated as Alpha, he took his job very seriously. Despite him being a man-whore, he was the most honorable guy I have ever met. He is not just my Beta and best friend, he is my brother. I would trust him with my life as I would Lamia. Lamia was bent over looking in our small fridge, her ass wiggling, teasing me, as she moved things around, looking for food that was not there. Why was I so tempted? Wh
LAMIA Kellen met me by the dining room entrance. I rounded the corner to find him propped up against the wall, legs and arms crossed and his head cast down. I felt his nerves pour out of him in waves. “Hey,” I called out to him as I approached. I took a deep breath as I stood before him, summoning the courage I needed at that moment. He lifted his head, his ocean blue eyes meeting mine “Hey, Lamia –“ he began. I lifted my hand and pressed my index finger to his lips. He was nervous, ambivalence clearly reflected in his eyes. I leaned in and pressed my lips to his, whispering “shh”. My tongue traced his bottom lip asking for entrance and he gave it to me. His moist and warm tongue swept across mine in a caressing movement. I leaned my body onto his and pressed him against the wall, his arms circling my waist, bringing us impossibly close. Yes, I wanted to explore this side of the connection between us. Before the kiss could progress and we would get lost with each other, I pulled
MIKE ‘Fuck! That was a blow to my ego’ My thoughts were stuck on Kellen’s revelation of Lamia having a mark, a mark of the fucking crown of all things! I knew now I would most certainly not be her mate, nor would I pursue her in any way shape, or form. Why hadn’t I noticed the birthmark before? Had she covered it up? I mean I didn’t expect her to say, Oh look, here it is! But I would have at least thought I would come to know about it. Either she was destined to Kel or she was born to be a Queen in her own right. I now had a better understanding of why she and her wolf were so powerful, and why she got that wolf. I also have a better idea of why our parents, especially the King, had her live with them, train with them and then send her to this school with us. So much makes sense now. Even though I was feeling a little disappointed by the fact that she would never be mine, I smiled to myself. Fucking Lamia. I told her she was my Queen. I guess I wasn’t lying. No matter what, I knew
