The Alpha's She-Wolf (6 page)

“I know you’re busy honey but could
you bring my girly things from the second dresser drawer, I forgot them.” 
Naomi hurried.

“I’m just eating a snack with
Connor.”  There was a long pause.

“What do you mean you are just
eating snack?  He hasn’t claimed you yet?”

“No.  I was hungry and we are
eating.  So, the second drawer huh?  I will pack them and I will bring them
later.  I think that Connor is going back to work while I pack so will you
swing by here and pick me up when you have a minute?”

“I’m not leaving.  I will take you
home Shauna.”  Connor growled.  “Hang up.”

“He says I have to go Mimi but I
will bring your things, don’t worry and he says he’ll give me a lift too.  Are
you still doing the barbeque tonight?”

“Yeah sure.  I thought that you
guys would be too busy though.”

“No, I was looking forward to it. 
I love cook outs, I will bring your things then.”

“Are you okay Shauna?  This doesn’t
feel right.  You need to let him claim you.  You are being too nonchalant about
this.  You’ve wanted this for whole life and now it’s like you don’t care.”

“I care, and I know what I want but
I like barbeque and I want to come.”  Shauna looked at Connor.  He was livid. 
“I am looking forward to a relaxing evening with my new family, I want to meet everyone,
and then later after a couple of beers we’ll see if Connor can talk me into
it.”  His brow rose and his face softened.

“As you wish my love.”  He said
lifting her palm to his lips and he placed a warm soft kiss in the center of
her palm.  She trembled.

The Chase

Shauna carried the small satchel at
her side as she and Connor walked to Mike and Kirk’s house.  It was half a
block down and a block over.  They had an ‘L’ shaped one level with a converted
garage.  Connor explained they refinished it themselves and lived at opposite
ends but shared the kitchen and common areas.  He also explained that their
mother had grown increasingly difficult after their father passed and each of
them had moved out and on their own when she began to pick at them.  His oldest
brother Victor lost it and took off when their father passed the pack onto
Connor. He’d nearly killed Derek, the youngest.  Victor was his mother’s
favorite son and she made no secret of it.  When he left after her husband
died, she lost it and blamed them all for his departure.  In truth, Victor
could not handle the responsibility of a pack and everyone knew that.  He was
too power hungry and Victor walked on the edge of sanity, a very sharp edge. 
He’d never been responsible and would drive the pack into chaos within a week
of becoming the alpha.  Connor showed her the house while everyone was on the
deck outside.  She left the satchel in Naomi’s new room thinking that Naomi
would be adding many frills to this room.  The dark green bed and curtains were
very masculine.  Naomi’s room at home was all pink, lace, frills and ribbon. 
Poor Mike had no idea what was coming.  She followed Connor through the kitchen
and onto the deck that overlooked the endless yard.  It was near dusk.  The
grill was hot and Kirk stood flipping steaks, vegetables, and hot dogs.  When
they stepped out onto the deck Derek was sitting in a chair with a woman in his
lap, she must be his mate, Shauna thought.  Mike was sitting beside Naomi rubbing
her back possessively.  Shauna hoped that she was that comfortable with Connor
some day.  Naomi had a Margarita on the rocks in front of her and it wasn’t her
first.  Shauna could tell she’d had a few by the way she slurred and swayed
when she rushed across the deck to fall into Shauna’s arms.  “Sissy!”  Shauna
caught her easily. 

“Mimi?  Let’s sit okay?”  Shauna
helped Naomi onto the seat at the picnic table.  “Hi.”  Shauna nodded at
Derek’s mate.

“Hey.  You must be Shauna.  It’s so
good to meet you, I’m Cassie.”  She came over and gave Shauna a hug.  She
smiled at Connor and said, “Congratulations.”  She was small like Naomi with
long black hair tied up in a ponytail.  She had a quick and ready smile that
showed deep dimples at the corners of her mouth.  Derek obviously adored her. 

“Sissy, come here.”  Naomi called
to her.  “Did he claim you yet?”  Naomi whispered sounding less drunk now. 
Shauna shook her head.  Naomi looked disappointed for her.  Connor passed out
the plates and silverware when Kirk said that it was almost ready.  Cassie
hurried inside and came back with pasta salad and the condiments.  Kirk loaded
their plates with the steak and veggies then passed ears of grilled corn. 
Connor brought her a beer and sat down beside her.  She inhaled sharply when
his leg settled next to hers from hip to knee.  She glanced at him sideways and
he was smiling at her with one eyebrow raised.  She picked up her beer and took
a long pull from the bottle.  They were at the barbeque, according to her
conversation with Mimi earlier, after a couple of beers she was supposed to let
him talk her into claiming her.  Shauna’s nerves hummed.  Naomi’s new back yard
backed to parkland and there weren’t any houses.  Shauna began to formulate her
plan.  She wanted him to claim her but she needed him to chase her.  When it
turned dark, she was going to shift and let him.  It was time she took her
first run as a wolf.  A corner of her mouth lifted and she took another sip of
beer.  “I’ll give you a penny for your thoughts, beautiful.”  Connor whispered
in her ear. 

“None of my thoughts are for sale, Sir.” 
Connor inhaled her scent and kissed her cheek then went back to his dinner. 
Shauna glanced at Naomi who was grinning.  Naomi always could read Shauna. 

“We should run after dinner.” 
Naomi announced.  “I’ve always wanted to run with a pack.”  Mike leaned over
and kissed her temple.  She knew what her sister wanted, she wanted the other
dream, the one with the big wolf in it.  Naomi liked that one too.  It was
exciting and she may just let Mike chase her later.  She wouldn’t run nearly as
far as Shauna though, she liked getting caught more than being chased.  She
smiled to herself.

“Anything for you darling.”  He
grabbed an onion off her plate and stuck it in his mouth then grinned at her. 

“Sure, Derek and I would love to.”  Cassie
said.  “Shauna will you and Connor join us?”  Shauna answered yes while Connor
answered no and everyone laughed.

“Take it easy brother, it’s always
better after a run when your heart is pumping and your adrenaline is up.”  Kirk
called from the end of the table.  Connor sighed and nodded.  He was feeling
less and less like the alpha around here.  If he didn’t claim his woman soon he
was going to have a coronary. 

Shauna finished her second beer and
winked at Naomi.  “I’m ready for that run.  Now you people take it easy on us,
remember we’ve only shifted twice in our lives and we’ve never run before.  I
think that you should give us a head start.  Come on ladies.”  Naomi unlatched
the deck door and started down the steps to the yard.  Cassie and Shauna
followed.  Cassie shifted easily at the bottom into a small black wolf.  Naomi
stood still and the air around her started to shimmer but she was having hard
time.  Shauna put her hand on Mimi’s shoulder and the air shimmered around both
of them then both transformed into the beautiful silver and white wolves that
Connor remembered from earlier.  Shauna looked up at him with her blue green
and grey eyes and yipped.  She loped away slowly but when she heard the deck
gate squeak she took off at a full run out into the park easily passing Cassie
and Naomi.  A big chocolate blur whizzed past her and chased her sister.  Naomi
howled happily.  This was what Sissy needed and wanted.  A black wolf sidled up
to Naomi and nipped at her muzzle.  She brushed against him then realized he
wasn’t Mike but Kirk.  Another larger black wolf flanked her other sided and
nipped at her ears.  He nuzzled her neck and she yipped. 

Shauna was covering a lot of
ground; she could hear Connor behind her stomping heavily through the leaves
that still covered the forest floor.  Twigs snapped and small animals scurried
into the trees.  She slowed to let him catch up then wove in and out of the
trees.  Men were hunters, so she would let him hunt.  Shauna stopped to sniff
the air.  It was so surreal being able to do this to explore the woods this way
and not be terrified.  She was a wolf and nothing could harm her.  Out here,
she was top of the food chain.  Connor tackled her from the side suddenly and
the force rolled her across forest floor through the leaves.  She got to her
feet and he was there in front of her nuzzling her neck and nipping at her.  Of
course, he’d caught her. 
Now, do I make him chase me again or am I ready to
submit.
  He nipped at her muzzle and she nipped him back then rubbed the
length of herself along his side.  She stood and sniffed the air again while
Connor sniffed her.  She swatted at him with her tail when he got overly
familiar.  Shauna loped toward what sounded like water.  Connor followed her to
the creek that ran through the park.  Shauna lowered her muzzle to the cold
running water and lapped some of it delicately into her mouth.  Connor pushed
her into the water and followed her.  It felt so good, so cool, and so much
better.  She’d gotten hot during the run with all that fur on.  She shook
herself from head to tail and felt exhilarated with it.  Shauna yipped at him
again, climbed out of the creek, and loped toward home.  Connor climbed out
quickly to follow her.  When Shauna saw him following, she increased her speed
and let him chase her again.  God it was so exciting to be chased, she wanted
to be caught, to make love, to be ravaged.  He would have to work for it though
or it wouldn’t be as much fun.  .  It was turning darker with the sun setting
behind the trees.  Shauna trotted along looking behind her every so often to
see him loping after her.  He was toying with her and she knew it.  Connor
could easily out run her he was bigger and stronger in human and wolf form. 
They were nearing Mike’s house and everyone was back up on the deck.  Shauna
trotted past them as they whooped and hollered.  Connor increased his speed
when she passed the deck without stopping.  Fun and game time was over.  He was
going to claim her.  Connor was a dark brown blur as he passed the deck to another
chorus of hoots and hollers.  Connor tackled her in his mother’s front yard. 
Light from his mom’s living room windows spilled out onto the dewy grass. 
Connor had her down with his teeth clamped into her neck.  When she tried to
wriggle away, he put more weight on her and forced her to submit.  Shauna
whined and shifted back into human self.  Connor shifted with her.  He kissed
her neck and mouth.  “I want you and I won’t wait any longer Shauna.”  His
voice was deep, commanding, and gutteral.  He was breathing hard and she wasn’t
sure if that was from the run or the excitement.

“Connor is that you?”  His mom
called from the now opened front door. 

“Go back inside.”  He used the
alpha tone and she quickly closed the door but watched from the window.  Connor
dragged Shauna to her feet and wrapped his arm around her waist to guide her
back to his house.  He unlocked the front door and slammed it behind them. 
Shauna backed away.  Her eyes sparkled with the excitement that she still
felt.  Connor pulled his shirt over his head and threw it down as he advanced
on her.  He was the perfect male specimen.  He was all tanned solid muscles and
moved like a panther.  She was still backing away as he unbuckled his pants and
kicked off his shoes.  He never took his eyes from hers as he stepped out of
the pants leaving them behind him on the floor.  Shauna blushed and turned to
run toward the back of the house, she was heading to the master bedroom. 
Connor caught her easily before she got there and lifted her into his arms. 
“You are so beautiful.”  He kissed her while carrying her to the bed and set
her down gently.  “Arms up.”  He pulled her top over her head.  Shauna
cooperated.  Her chest heaved with heavy breaths.  “Are you okay?”  She nodded
quickly.  It wasn’t panic that she felt it was so much the opposite. He
unfastened her front hook bra and tossed it to the floor smiling at what he saw. 
He unbuttoned her jeans and eased her down on the bed so he could pull them
off.  “It’s like unwrapping my Christmas presents.”  Shauna watched him.  The
blue and green glittered in her eyes.  The jeans landed on the pile of her
clothes.  She crawled backward across the bed until she found the big fluffy
pillows at the headboard.  He was crawling with her, over her now covering her
face and neck in kisses.  “I’ve wanted you almost my whole life.”  He said
between kisses.

“Me too.”  His lips captured a
beaded nipple and he suckled with reverence.  He gave the other rosy peak the
same attention and Shauna writhed beneath him.  His warm hand covered one of
the milky globes as his lips moved over her sternum and quivering belly. 
Shauna moaned as he nipped and mouthed the soft skin of her belly.  His tongue
dipped into the perfect indentation of her navel.  Shauna pushed her hand into
his hair as his mouth dipped lower, her other hand fisted the duvet.  He
pressed a kiss to her mound through her white cotton panties.  She should’ve
worn sexier underwear she thought.  Connor eased them down and flicked them off
onto the floor.  He inhaled deeply.  “
Mine
.”  He said.  “
Mine to
have.  Mine to please.  Mine to tempt.  Mine to tease.”
  Shauna trembled.  It
was just like one of her dreams except better.  Connor pushed her trembling thighs
apart gently and his tongue dipped into her wet core then swirled around her
clitoris.  Shauna’s fingers tightened in his hair.  His chest rumbled and his
tongue dipped deep inside her.  Shauna’s eyes squeezed tightly shut and her
thighs trembled again.  Connor caught her clitoris between his lips and sucked
gently.  Shauna’s back bowed with pleasure.  Her muscles clenched and she
quickened.  Connor slid a finger inside of her and curled it toward the front
wall of her vagina.  Shauna’s fingers tightened into a fist in his hair and
Connor chuckled, his warm breath heating her already hot flesh. 

“You like this Sweetness?”  Her
moan was his answer.  His lips closed over her clitoris again as he worked
another finger inside of her and curled them both over the rough patch of flesh
inside of her.  Shauna detonated around his digits, muscles deep inside of her
milked his fingers and her hips thrust, grinding against him.  “Lovely.”  He murmured
and kissed her pubic bone leaving a trail of warm kisses up over her belly and
ribs.  “You are absolutely lovely.”  Connor murmured against her skin.  He uncurled
the fingers of her fist from his hair and she finally let it go.  He almost
expected her to have a handful of hair still clenched in her fist.  Shauna’s
eyes were still squeezed shut and he kissed them each in turn now then rested
his forehead against hers.  “Hey, how are you?”  Connor murmured against her
lips.  Her eyes opened, they were glazed and unfocused. 

“I’m wonderful.”  He smiled and
nibbled her lips begging entrance when he traced the seam with his tongue.  She
allowed him inside and met his tongue with her own.  Connor settled himself
into the cradle of her thighs and guided his erection into the entrance of her
vagina.  She moaned and spread her legs and lifted her hips further encouraging
him.  She wanted this, wanted him inside of her.  Connor eased inside slowly,
he wanted so much to take her hard and fast, but that was for another time, not
now.  Not her first time, this time it was all about her.  He let her get used
to having him there; let her get used to the new sensations and to the pressure
she must feel.  She was so tight around him. 
Must be careful, must not hurt
her, and must give her pleasure if I am to be a good mate.
  The thoughts
rode him hard and he used all of the willpower that he possessed to give her
the most pleasure she’d ever felt.
