Feral Alpha (The Alpha's Obsession) Read online

  “No,” I say, trying not to laugh. “They know better than to come near my crazy territorial bear. The place is clear. I could smell anything if it wasn’t.”

  “Okay,” she says in a whisper. “I trust you.”

  She shouldn’t, but she does. I think she’s the only person on the planet who trusts me.

  “I won’t be long.”

  Without another word, I sprint out of the woods as fast as I can, flying over the valley in record time. The lights are still on in my brothers’ cabins, which means they’re awake. It’s been so long since I’ve been out here in the open. It feels eery to be so exposed.

  It hits me while running that my bear is oddly quiet. He’s not thrashing around, snarling, and trying to break free. He’s letting me live in peace. He’s letting me breathe.

  I head right to Cameron’s cabin. There’s talking, music, and laughter coming from it.

  I bound up the steps and open the door. Cameron, Julian, Logan, and two girls I don’t recognize are sitting at the table playing poker. They all gasp as they turn to me.

  “Who’s that?” one of the girls asks as she jumps up from her chair.

  “Adrian?!” Cameron gasps as he stares at me in shock.

  All of them are gaping at me with open mouths and wide eyes like a ghost just walked into the room.

  I don’t want to explain to them what’s going on. I just want to get back to Courtney as quickly as possible. Animals or not, I don’t like the thought of her in the woods all by herself. The protectiveness I feel toward my mate is already kicking in.

  “Where’s the tent?” I ask them in my raspy voice.

  They just stare as the music plays in the background.

  “The tent,” I snap. “Where is it?”

  “In the garage,” Julian quickly says.

  I burst out of the room and into the garage as one of the girls says, “That’s Adrian?”

  It doesn’t take long to spot the camping gear on a high shelf. I grab the tent, some padding, a couple of blankets, and on my way out, I spot a pair of old faded jeans hanging over a sawhorse. I snatch those too and throw them on.

  I chuckle to myself as I run back to the forest with the gear, imagining what my brothers and those girls are thinking.

  “I’m here,” I say as I duck under branches and arrive back at my mate’s side. “Were you okay?”

  “Fine,” she says with a smile. “That was fast.”

  “I can’t offer you much in the form of accommodation, but the least I can do is not keep you waiting.”

  She smiles again as her eyes roam down to my jeans that are a little loose around the waist. I’m a large man, much taller than Courtney, but my older brother Cameron is enormous. The jeans hang low on my waist, showing the V on my pelvis and the tip of my pubic hair. At least, it’s better than having everything hanging out on display. This is a first date after all.

  “Is that a tent?” she asks when she sees it curled up under my arm.

  “Only the best for my mate,” I say with a grin as I begin to set it up. She helps me out and we have it set up in no time.

  “It’s not the warmest,” I say as we get inside and she lays on the padding. “But my body heat should help keep you warm.”

  “I’m just glad I’m here,” she says as she turns and faces me. Her eyes are shiny and bright even in the darkness. My enhanced shifter vision lets me see her face, but I don’t think she can see any of mine. “I’m really happy I’ve found you.”

  “You’re happy?” I say as I put my arm around her and pull her closer. “I’ve been in a furry prison forever and now I’m with the girl of my dreams.”

  She smiles as she watches me. “This is a new beginning for both of us, Adrian. You won’t be alone again.”

  I can’t stop myself. I lean forward and press my lips to hers.

  Her hand slides into my hair as she kisses me back in a soft wet kiss that has my heart pounding and my cock turning rock hard. She tastes so good. Like unbridled innocence.

  She smells so perfect and she feels even better.

  The kiss gets deeper, heavier as the passion between us heats up the inside of the tent.

  Our bodies slide up against each other and I can feel her breasts pressed up against my chest, her heart pounding behind all that voluptuous flesh.

  She moans into my mouth when she feels my hard cock press up against her thigh. The heat of her arousal tickles my nose, sending fire surging through my veins.

  I want to breed this girl’s ripe womb with my hot come. I want to see my child growing in her belly. Nothing is going to stop me from making that happen.

  “I want you,” she whispers between kisses. Her hands are pulling at my arms, rolling me on top of her. “All of you.”

  Her legs spread and I dig my erection against her pussy, making us both moan heavily.

  “You’ll never be alone again, Adrian,” she whispers as I kiss her neck and cup her breast. “I’ll always be here for you. Now, I need you to be here for me.”

  I lean back and grab her tight pants with both hands.

  “Whatever my mate wants,” I say in a voice that’s even huskier than it was before. “My mate gets.”

  With a tug, I pull her pants down.

  Chapter Five

  Courtney

  Adrian grabs the waistband of my pants and looks down at me with lust in his dark brown eyes. My heart is pounding as arousal courses through my body. I’ve never been this turned on. I’ve never wanted a man more.

  The light from the moon is spilling in through the thin material of the tent, lighting up his beautiful muscular body above me. His massive chest is heaving up and down with every tense breath. I drag my eyes down his hard sculpted abs to the long thick rod sticking up against his jeans. I moan, remembering how hard it felt against my leg.

  I don’t know what’s gotten into me. I’m never this forward. Never this brave when it comes to anything sex-related. I’ve never even kissed a boy before and here I am, begging for him to take my virginity.

  It just feels so right. Like puzzle pieces clicking into place. We belong together and every cell in my body knows it.

  My wet pussy pulses as I feel his big hands squeeze into fists at my sides before he pulls my pants down. My wet underwear goes along with it and pretty soon my bottom half is naked as he yanks my pants off my shoes. He goes to untie them, but I growl impatiently. “Fuck ‘em.”

  I spread my legs for him and his eyes lock on my pussy as he unbuttons his jeans and pulls out his big thick cock. It’s dripping with pre-cum and looking so damn irresistible.

  The intense need to feel him deep inside me is overwhelming. It’s taking me over. I grab onto his big round arms and pull him onto me.

  He falls forward, his thick cock landing on my wet mound. I gasp as I feel it sliding over my aching clit. I need him so badly.

  There’s no time for foreplay. There’s no time to take off my sweater. I just need him in me.

  “Take me,” I gasp as his sexy arms cage me in. “I kept my cherry for you.”

  He bites his bottom lip and groans as he hears my words. “It’s my first time too,” he says, his deep voice almost a growl.

  I reach down and grab his shaft, not wanting to wait another second. I gasp when I feel how sopping wet I am. My pussy, my thighs, my hand—they’re all soaked.

  Adrian kisses me hard on the mouth, taking my lips and thrusting his tongue against mine like he’s laying claim on it. It’s his. I’m all fucking his.

  I guide his thick swollen head to my tight hole and he growls as he drives his hips, pressing it in.

  “Oh, God,” I gasp when I feel how big he is. It’s stretching and filling me to the point that my back is arching, but I’m begging for more. “Yes! Oh, fuck yes!”

  His powerful hand slides under my sweater and up my stomach. My mouth flies open when his fingers dive under my bra and he grips my bare breast.

  “Your pussy is incredible,” he whispers
in a raspy voice as his mouth hovers over mine. “It’s mine now.”

  “It’s always been yours,” I tell. “Claim it. Take my virginity. It’s yours.”

  He squeezes my breast and thrusts in hard, slamming through my cherry and sinking all the way inside my throbbing pussy.

  I can’t breathe. It’s so intense.

  His body tightens above me as my pussy squeezes his huge cock.

  “Damn, you’re tight,” he says as he stares into my eyes. “Where have you been all my life?”

  “I’m here now,” I tell him as I slide my hands up his arms, gripping them like I’m never going to let go. “And I’m here to stay.”

  His mouth curls up into a grin. “You better be.”

  We both start to relax, enjoying it as he begins sliding in and out of me, alternating between hard and soft thrusts.

  I run my hands down his wide back, feeling every hard ridge and curve of muscle. I touch him everywhere I’ve been wanting to—his hair, his neck, his shoulders, his chest, his abs… It all feels so good.

  For years, I’ve been waiting for the right man to come into my life. I’ve travelled, I’ve tried online dating, I’ve been set up by friends, and all this time, he’s been here in my small little town, hidden away in the woods.

  If Gavin hadn’t wandered in here, I never would have found him. That kid is definitely getting an A+ on his report card.

  For the first time tonight, I start to get hot. I unzip my sweater and Adrian pulls up my shirt. He yanks up my bra with a growl, letting my breasts spill out. He’s on them at once, licking my curves and sucking my hard tingling nipples. I sink my hands into his soft hair, holding him against my chest as he slides in and out of my pussy.

  We can do this anytime we want. I can’t stop thinking about that.

  Knowing I can come here and feel his hard cock inside me whenever the mood strikes makes me feel like the luckiest woman on the planet.

  He wraps his arm under my leg and pulls it up as he thrusts in hard. I cry out as I feel him penetrating me deeper.

  I want to feel his hot seed coating my insides. I want him to make me his in every way possible.

  “Come in me,” I beg as he thrusts harder and harder. “I can feel it coming…”

  The heat blossoming in me becomes overwhelming. It’s growing and tightening with every pump of his powerful hips.

  “I’m going to come,” he growls as he grabs my other leg and hikes both of them in the air.

  “Oh, fuck!” I cry out as my back arches. My mouth flies open and I dig my nails into his arms as I feel him deeper than ever. It feels like he’s millimeters from my womb.

  His open mouth comes over mine. “Come with me, Courtney,” he whispers as he thrusts in hard. “Come with me, now.”

  The tightness snaps inside of me and everything begins to unravel. His body turns rigid as his cock lurches deep inside.

  I come hard when I feel his hot seed surging out of him and onto the walls of my virgin pussy, coating every inch of it.

  “Oh, shit,” I scream as the waves of heat take over, searing through my veins. His hard pelvis is grinding against my clit as he holds himself inside me, coating my waiting womb with his hot come.

  I drown in the sensations. Tears stream down my cheeks. My insides are contracting over and over again relentlessly as time stands still.

  When the intensity begins to fade, he lowers my legs and slides a little bit out, still keeping most of his cock inside me. We’re both breathing heavily and staring at each other in shock.

  “I love sex,” I blurt out.

  He laughs and I feel my cheeks turn red. There’s no need to blush, though. He’s my mate and I can say anything to him.

  “I love it too,” he whispers as he holds me in his big arms. “But only with you.”

  He kisses me again, longer, slower this time and I close my eyes, letting myself drown in the bliss. Letting myself succumb to the euphoria…

  …and counting the seconds until we can do this again.

  Chapter Six

  Adrian

  My arms are wrapped tightly around my mate when I wake up in the morning. She’s curled up in the blankets with all of her clothes on but I can still feel her soft curves under it all. I dig my nose into her soft blonde hair and breathe in the intoxicating scent over and over, letting it fill my head until it feels like I’m high.

  It’s another crisp fall morning with the early birds chirping and the squirrels already busy at work. I can’t remember the last time I woke up in my human form. It’s been too long. Way too long.

  Usually my bear rouses in the morning and I’m forced to experience everything through his senses. I thought it was clear, but now I can tell it was a little muted. A little gray.

  I look around and am amazed at the clarity of everything—the sunlight seeping in through the tent, the feel of this beautiful girl in my arms, the crisp coolness of the morning air in my nose, the soreness of my muscles that haven’t been used enough.

  It’s beautiful. This life is a gift.

  The most surprising thing is that my bear is calm. He’s tranquil and at peace in this moment, letting me enjoy it.

  All kinds of heavy emotions start flooding me and my eyes fill with tears. I never expected this. I thought it was over for me. I thought I’d never escape the hell I was in—a life of solitary in the woods, a prisoner to my bear.

  And now, I have this amazing girl by my side, I have this beautiful morning and a little slice of peace. It’s all so much.

  Courtney stirs in my arms and turns around with a smile on her face, her eyes still half closed.

  “Good morning, you,” she whispers as she looks at me. “Are you crying?”

  I wipe my eyes, embarrassed. This is the last thing I want her to see.

  She cups my cheek with her hand and kisses me softly with her lips closed. “It’s going to be okay,” she whispers. “I’m here with you now.”

  I’ve been living with my psychotic bear for so long that I know those words shouldn’t bring me hope. They shouldn’t be comforting, but they are. With her in my arms, I don’t know how things could ever go wrong again.

  We lay like this, gazing into each other’s eyes and holding each other tight for a long time. Until the soreness kicks in and she starts to move around, stretching out her stiff muscles.

  “Was it too cold for you last night?” I ask.

  She smiles. “You’re the one with no shirt on.”

  “But I’m used to it. You’re used to a nice warm bed.”

  “I’m used to an empty bed. This was really nice.”

  I watch as she sits up and stretches her back out. My cock starts to stir once again when I see her breasts being thrust into the air. I still can’t believe that my hands were on them, that my lips and tongue were touching that soft supple skin.

  Remembering how wet and tight she was as the soft walls of her pussy squeezed my cock starts to make my breath quicken. I still can’t believe her virginity is mine.

  Thinking those dirty thoughts awakens my bear and he starts to stir angrily.

  No, please, I beg.

  He growls low.

  Mark her.

  Do it.

  He snarls, louder this time, but not loud enough for her to hear. He wants me to sink my teeth into her neck and make her ours for good.

  He won’t be truly at peace until I do it, but that’s one way to have her run out of here and never come back. She’s a real champ, showing up in the woods at night and sleeping out here with someone she’s never met before, but even she would draw the line if I leaned over and gave her the vampire treatment before she’s had a cup of coffee.

  Not now, I growl back at him.

  He starts pacing around and for the first time since he let me out, I start to get nervous. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to stop him if he comes charging out. I’ve never been able to stop him before.

  “I need a hot bath,” she says as she turns and looks at
me.

  “Are you hungry?” I ask as I try to focus on her and not on the angry bear huffing around inside me.

  “Do you have anything for breakfast?” she asks, looking hopeful. “My appetite is ravenous after that night.”

  Panic mode sets in as I think about my options. I could go catch her a rabbit or something. A rabbit? Come on, Adrian! Cooking her a dead rabbit is not very romantic.

  “We can go see what my brothers are cooking,” I blurt out, not really thinking about it.

  “Yeah? Are you up for that?”

  I nod my head even though my stomach is twisting with nerves. Besides the two seconds I saw them last night, it’s been years. And I don’t know how they feel about me. I haven’t exactly been the warmest brother lately.

  “For you, I am.”

  We climb out of the tent and she grins as she looks at me. I’m barefoot, shirtless, with only the loose jeans I stole from Cameron on.

  “It’s freezing out,” she says, “and you don’t even have goosebumps on your skin.”

  She takes the opportunity to run her hand down my chest and abs.

  “There they are,” she says with a laugh as I get goosebumps on my arms. “But I don’t think they’re from the cold.”

  She slides her hand into mine and we start walking toward the cabins. A falcon glides through the air high above us, looking for its breakfast.

  “You don’t have school today?” I ask.

  She smiles as she looks up at me. “You don’t know what day it is?”

  “I don’t know what month it is.”

  God, that smile… It kills me every time.

  “It’s Saturday, so no little kids for me today. And it’s October by the way.”

  I get a fluttery feeling in my stomach when I hear noises coming from Julian’s cabin. They all seem to be gathered in there for breakfast. I hear Logan’s deep laugh.

  The smell of bacon, eggs, and coffee hits my nose and the nervous butterflies get replaced with a hunger for human food. How long has it been since I tasted anything cooked?

  “These are your brothers?” Courtney asks as we walk.
