The Alpha Killer

Talia’s POV

La Crosse Pack House

I looked up at my mate as he carried me into the Pack House. He was handsome, dominant, smart, caring and romantic. I’d hit the mate jackpot with him, and I was still shocked that he wanted the broken mess that was me.

“I don’t see you that way,” he said. “I’ve told you exactly how I see you, it’s time for you to start believing it.”

“I just gave up on a mate,” I said. “I’m so thankful you didn’t give up on me.”

“You’re amazing, beautiful and strong. I can’t wait to show you what making love is all about, but first we have to get this blood off you. I don’t want anything of his on you.” He opened the door to the guest room and set me down in the large bathroom. Starting the shower, he turned and pulled his shirt from over my head. He pulled the remnants of my sports bra and shorts off and tossed them in the garbage, then pushed me into the shower to get the blood off.

“I need your help,” I said as he turned to leave.

He turned and smiled, I could tell he was hoping for an invite. I didn’t want to be apart from him. He took off his shoes and pulled his shorts and socks off. He was more impressive than I had imagined in the nude, and a flush of arousal washed through my body as I looked at him. He saw my look and matched it, his body showing exactly how much he enjoyed the view. “Wash my back?”

“Hair first,” he said. He stepped into the large shower behind me and took the scentless shampoo from the shelf. He started to work it into my hair, his fingers massaging my scalp. It was like heaven.

“I don’t want to shower alone again,” I said as I melted from the pleasure of his hands on me.

“I don’t want to be alone again, so I’m good with that.” He made sure all the hair was scrubbed, then used a hand wand to wash it clean. He repeated it again, making sure every speck of blood was gone.

“Talia, is this a bad time,” Alpha Clark sent. Since we were family, we still had the bond even though I was now Alpha of a different Pack.

“Better than in ten minutes,” I said.

“I’ll make it quick. Erica is still waiting for word on what to do next, she’s got Rhoda tied up in the woods and it’s getting late. I also got a message from Chairman Wolfe, he’s having a videoconference with all North American Alphas in ten minutes. I need to know what to tell him about Justin, and how we want to handle finding Todd.”

I shared the questions with Randall; he was my mate, my partner, and I was relieved I didn’t have to decide on my own anymore. We quickly came up with a plan. “Uncle, be dismissive and suspicious of the Council. Remind them of their failures, and tell them you and your family are going to handle this on your own. The Council cannot come here, and they can’t tell you what to do. I don’t want them to know how closely we are working together, or that I’m mated to a Meechum yet.”

“I can do pissed off. What if he asks if you are here?”

“Don’t deny it. I’m family and I defended your Pack against a sneak attack by your side. You aren’t about to arrest me or turn you over. Tell him the charges against me should be reviewed in light of recent events. If that doesn’t work, well, I’ve got a better track record than he does of getting these people. He can stay out of our way.”

“What about Erica?”

“Call her and tell her to come home. Chain Rhoda up outside in the challenge circle, near her mate. Close enough to talk but not to touch. I want her to watch him suffer and die.”

“He’ll survive, he’s cut up and near death, but his wolf will heal him.”

“No, he won’t. I’ll talk to you in the morning. You can let them know that the Alpha Killer has taken care of Justin and Jack, and they need to stay out of my way as I clean house. Be very clear that I will execute vengeance on any who hide or aid Todd. I’m dangerous, uncontrollable, and the Council has no authority over me.”

“Got it. Have a good night, Talia. You deserve him.” He broke the connection and I realized he was right. This whole time I was feeling like I was lucky, when I was getting what I was always supposed to have. I turned and buried my face in his chest. He had finished my hair and scrubbing my body while I was talking to my uncle. “I deserve you,” I said quietly.

“Of course you do my love. None of the bad things in your life have been your fault. I would have found you when you were of age and we’d still be having a night like this. Well, maybe without the whole washing blood out of your hair thing,” he said as I snorted in a decidedly unladylike fashion. “Now before I lose the little control I have left, there’s one other thing we need to talk about.”

“Oh Luna, I just want to go to bed with you,” I said.

“I know, but Alpha Stillwater has decisions to make. Having you here on your Uncle’s land is one thing, recognizing you as Alpha of a large Pack is another. The other Alphas are terrified of you, and if you become Alpha they might combine with the Council to take you out before you grow stronger.”

“Assholes! One female becomes Alpha and they all freak out!”

“It’s more than that. Their Alpha, Luna and Beta are all going to die. The Pack is going to be in disarray, and you and I are going to be far too busy to do anything about it.”

He was right. “So what can we do?”

“If you don’t care about it, we could give it to the Council to deal with. They can find an Alpha and Beta to take over.”

I shook my head. “I don't want the Council anywhere near my Pack. A month from now, if I’m done and I decide to go back, the new Alpha might not hand it over. I don’t want to put them through that.”

“I have an idea,” he said. “Let me call my father. You know how big my family is, and I could ask him to send two of my brothers to take over. Everyone would understand that it isn’t permanent, just until the two of us decide to take it or give it up forever.”

I had picked up a washcloth and started to scrub his body as we talked. His back made it difficult for me to concentrate, while the front was impossible. Sure, I’d seen males before, and sex in the Pack was uninhibited and sometimes public. I’d just never had one of those inches from my lips before, and I didn’t want to talk. “Call him and make it happen,” I said. I rinsed him off and pushed him out, before our first time ended up with me pressed against the limestone tile.

“Hurry out,” he said.

I dried off, blow drying my hair and brushing my teeth as I tried to get up the courage to go to him. I looked at myself in the mirror; I had scars, but I was still feminine. I loved the way he looked at me.

I opened the door and walked out. He was sitting on the bed, clad only in boxer shorts, and he nearly dropped the phone when he saw me. “You didn’t bring me any clothes,” I said as I bit my lip.

“Dad, I’ve got to go. I trust you to make it happen.” He couldn’t hang up fast enough. He stood up, coming to me as my knees suddenly failed to respond to my commands to go to him. I was shaking in need, and my wolf wanted out.

He pulled me into his arms and kissed me, deeply and possessively. I felt my body preparing for him, and I could feel his hard length against my stomach. The shorts couldn’t contain him. I moved my hand down as we continued kissing, wrapping my hand around it. My fingers couldn’t touch as I explored him, while his hands made my back and ass feel like they were on fire. “I’m nervous about this,” I said.

He turned, walking me back to the bed before lowering me onto it. “Talia, you’re going to have the best night of your life. I just need you to trust me.”

“Okay.” He knelt down on the rug next to the bed, moving between my legs. I tried to sit up and watch, but his hand moved up and held me down. I relaxed back into the bed as I felt kisses start up my legs, on the inside of my thighs above my knees. It left a trail of fire behind, and I started to drip with need. My smell filled the room, and his eyes darkened as his wolf came forward.

He put his big hands under me and pulled me to the edge of the bed, my legs hanging over his shoulders. “Oh! Oh my. Oooooh yeah, that feels wonderful. OOOH!” I was moaning and writhing on his face a minute later, as he introduced me to the wonders of my body. I’d look down, see the love and lust on his face as he ate me out, then grab his head and moan again as he pushed my body higher and higher. I broke into orgasm, screaming his name. When he put a finger in, I came again. His other hand was moving between my erect nipples, teasing and pinching them until he set me off a third time.

“Please…” I couldn’t speak above a whisper as my body came back down. “I need you.”

“You want this,” he said as he stood up.

I saw him, my wolf forward in my mind, she wanted him too. “Make me yours.” He smiled and moved forward as I scooted back on the bed on my elbows. He crawled over me, kissing his way up my body until he was settled between my legs. I could feel him poking there, and I took him in my hand and moved him to where I needed him. “Please?”

“The pain will pass quickly,” he said. He pushed forward, filling and stretching me uncomfortably. He leaned down to kiss me, and as our lips met he pushed forward and broke through until his hips were against mine. “RANDALL,” I screamed as he took me.

“Relax and it will get better,” he said. He didn’t move at first, then he started to move an inch or two. He was still stretching me, but the sharp pain was gone, and the stretched feeling was going away. I felt full, deliciously full, and the bond between us was throbbing with our desire.

“More,” I said. He smiled and started to pull out. I didn’t want him to go, and I clenched on him to stop it which caused him to moan in pleasure. He backed almost all the way out then slowly drove back in.

It was heaven.

I wrapped my legs around his hips, I wanted him deep in me again. He started to move faster, and we were building for something big. I came once, and he slowed until it was over. “I’m going to take you hard now,” he said as he moved my legs to his shoulders.

“Take me, mate,” I said. The new position allowed him to drive deeper and hit different places. The room filled with the sounds of our sex, the liquid sound I was making, the air being forced out of my body, and the slap of flesh as he drove forward. I was holding on for dear life. I couldn’t think, all I could do was feel, and then it happened.

He slammed deep, his cock pulsing deep inside me, and he bit down on my mark causing me to orgasm like never before. I screamed, then bit down on his shoulder, marking him back and letting my mate’s blood coat my teeth.

“NOOOOO!” I shook my head and looked at the deep mating bite I’d left on his shoulder.

“What’s wrong?” He looked down and his eyes got big. “Oh no.”

I’d just condemned my mate to a slow, painful death, and it was all my fault.
