Chapter 1
Alpha Brice
What happened after the club.
We’re facing a barrage of various attacks. I was reluctant to share with Alpha Daxon how bad some of these items were. I knew he would want to get involved, but this was my department. He has to protect Shia. The stabbing of Reece forced his involvement. This was becoming personal. Humans are unreliable sources of information. Didn’t see anything, my fucking ass they didn’t. They’d rather steer clear of the police, especially if those police are werewolves.
I’ve got to hand it to Shia. She holds a powerful position in the community, and her influence over the humans is necessary here. Then there is Marley. Well, who would have guessed that I’d get a second chance mate with a human, and one who is fiery and god damn gorgeous?
The first time I saw her, she strode in, a vision of grace and strength, rescuing us from a dire situation. A bad ass tasering motherfucker. The fear of scaring her and rejection made me focus on work.
Now I’m dancing with her in a club and to hell with everything. I want her. The kiss is electrifying, so much so; my wolf, Falcon, is having an orgasm inside my head. Or is it me? My mind is a cacophony of thoughts, leaving me confused and unable to determine what is happening. I pick Marley up and carry her out. I need to get out of this place.
“Put me down,” she yells and threatens to taser me.
The bass is still throbbing in my ears from the club. I fear that I’ve pushed her too far when we get outside. But then her hand finds its way to my chest, her touch soft yet commanding, and our gazes meet. The hardness of the beast inside my jeans is causing me excruciating discomfort. And a frantic rhythm hammers in my chest; my heart pounds so violently I fear it will burst.
“Brice,” her soft voice whispers.
I realize I’m stiff, fighting the internal battle going on inside of me. It doesn’t help that my wolf is panting and trying to take over so he can scent her properly. I’m afraid that I’m going to lose it.
“Stay with me, big guy.” A slap on my cheek brings me out of my trance. “Thought I’d lost you there for a moment. If I had known all it took was for me to slap you, I would have done it earlier.” She smiles.
I grab the back of her head, feeling the soft strands of her hair between my fingers as I kiss her. With a desperate clutch at my shirt, her fingers tighten, and then her tongue is in my mouth, hot and insistent. I hold her tight against me as we engage in a passionate kiss. Her scent permeates every part of her like a flower in full bloom, and I don’t have to smell her arousal. The scent is now overwhelming, flooding my nose.
I pick her up and release a growl. It fuels the sexual need she has for me as she shudders in my arms. My car is down the street and soon I have the door open and placing her in the passenger side. I slide into the driver’s side and start the car up.
“Where are you taking me?” With a gasp, she grips the seat as the car accelerates, the engine roaring. It sounds as desperate as I do.
“Mine,” I growl out.
The ride is tense, and it is taking everything inside of me not to stop and take her in the back of the car. My home is larger than Daxon’s, and it has three levels. I park the car and turn off the engine. With a few steady breaths, I climb out and she sits staring at me.
“Fuck, we are scaring her.” My wolf yells at me. “She is human, and this is new to her.” He reminds me. Her wild eyes stare at me as I round the car and open her door. I come face to face with her holding a taser. My wolf laughs inside my head. “I love our mate already.”
“I’m not afraid to use it.” She reminds me of how many humans and wolves she has used it on.
Blood pumps through my veins and my cock reminds me of what he wants. But I have to control myself. “It is hard for me. You are my mate and I want you so badly it hurts.” Now I sound weak and needy.
“I know that. But this scares me.”
“I’m sorry.” I hold out my hand for her to take. My chest still heaves, each breath a ragged gasp, my heart pounding a frantic rhythm against my ribs.
She climbs out and gingerly takes my hand. I lead her inside my house and swallow when she bites her bottom lip. Falcon is on the brink of coming to the surface, and I warn him that it will scare her off. She slides her jacket off and the flesh of her neck exposes. I tug my top off and her eyes go wide.
“W—What are you doing?”
“I’m hot.” I take a step towards her. “Do you want to feel the heat that you ignite inside me?” I’m already kicking off my boots and popping the top buckle on my jeans. “Touch me, little mate.” I growl out. I’m not sure how long I am going to last.
“Brice, this is all moving fast. I—I don’t know what I’m doing here.” Her heart thumps harder.
“Because you feel it too? The pull, the need to want me close to you. To kiss me?” I slide a hand around her waist and one I graze over her cheek as I lean down to capture her lips.
As her fingers made contact with my skin, a raw, visceral hunger took hold, demanding her touch across my entire being. The sensation is electric as I gently persuade her to open her mouth with my tongue. The intertwining of our tongues ignites a passionate intensity between us.
“Oh god,” she moans.
“Let me show you how much I want you.” I glide my fingers under her top and over her flushed skin.
“Brice,” she gasps as I tug at her top and pull it over her head. I love her saying my name. “Ah fuck.” She yelps when I rip her bra off because it wouldn’t come undone.
I suck on one of her firm nipples, tracing circles with my tongue, savoring every moment. Her cries of pure joy fill the room. I pick her up, my mouth finding hers again as I carry her upstairs. As I place her down on the bed, I pull off her trainers and yank her leggings down. Then I drop my jeans and kick them out of the way. Her arousal hits me and my cock throbs, dripping pre-cum off the end. I’m loaded and ready to fire my load at any second. When I kneel between her legs, she gasps and there is some fear in her eyes. When I look down, I realize the end of my cock has spread wide as it would once inside of her.
She moves up the bed. “You are not putting that thing inside of me.” She looks horrified.
“Fuck, hold on.” I close my eyes and will it to go down. “It is because of my wolf.” I try to explain that when wolves mate the male wolf knots the female to stop her from moving. “Neither of us has had sex in years. I’m a little overenthusiastic.” I try to make light of the situation. It reduces back to a normal head size and I can tell she is unsure.
“Will that happen inside of me now?”
“No, I can control it. This is what you will get.” I move over her and take her hand so she can feel it. But as soon as she wraps her hand around my shaft, my wolf wants to come out and bite her. “Falcon, she isn’t ready for that. I know you are desperate for your mate, but we don’t want to scare her.” I reprimanded him. “Fine,” he huffs and sinks back into my mind. We are playing for control, and this time I’m having to control him. “Ah, Marley.” At this rate, she is going to have me shooting my load in seconds. A low growl rumbles in my chest as her scent heightens.
As I spread her legs, I can feel the heat emanating from between them. She lets go of my cock as I take back control. I run my tongue over my lips, preparing to tease her and flick my tongue over her clit. Her moans reverberate through her body as she grips the sheets. The contact of my two fingers inside sends a jolt through her, and she cries out. She doesn’t last long before reaching a climax. With her spread before me, I dip my tongue in and relish the taste of my mate as she cums for me.
“Now you are ready for me.” I move and sling her legs over my shoulders before stretching her entrance with my cock. Fuck, I’m going to cum in seconds at this rate.
“Holy fucking hell.” Marley’s knuckles go white from gripping the sheet. Her eyes roll to the back of her head and a guttural moan comes from her. “Oh, Brice. Pleaseeee—” A long cry of ecstasy comes from her as I thrust several times.
I can’t hold back any longer and fist the sheet with one hand so as not to hurt Marley. Her walls tighten around my cock again and I can feel her cum coating it. A surge of desire flooded through me as I released myself inside her, like a burst dam. My wolf’s claws tear at the fabric of the bed, and with a violent shudder, I jerk several more times, a low growl rumbling in my throat. Then I pull out, falling to her side and lie there in shock. The connection with my mate was intense and unforgettable, leaving me in a state of bliss.
