Chapter 8: CHP.8-Heat

I followed behind the Alpha at a slow pace, making sure to really take my time and observe my surroundings. Memorising every detail on my escape route tonight and mapping it out in my brain. The front door could be accessed through a stairwell, which was connected to a small hallway that fed into the great hall. To get to the great hall from the room I would be in tonight, I would need to take a left, two rights, down a staircase and a final left. This is how I would get out tonight.

The Alpha didn't question my walking speed and continued to lead me into the bedroom I was in this morning. Looking at the bed I felt the stress and eventfulness of todays' events crash onto my body. Which begged to sleep. The Alpha walked into the cupboard before coming out with some clothing in is hands, and presented them to me.

"Here, you'll need something to sleep in. You'll stay in this room tonight."

I accepted the clothes but raised my eyebrows in question.

"And where will you be sleeping?" While I had asked a question, my tone made it clear I was telling him he would not be sleeping in here as well.

"In this room. With you." He raised his eyebrows back. His tone also clear, he wasn't going to have an argument. His mind was made up. But this was not good, it would be way more difficult to sneak out if the Alpha was in the same room. But I could do it, he said room, not bed. Which means he will be sleeping on the couch. I would just have to be extra quiet. I kept my mouth shut. My jaw set as I simply nodded.

"I'm going to go shower." The Alpha dismissed the conversation and headed into the bathroom, closing the door but I did not hear the sound of a lock. A clear invitation from him. I rolled my eyes and moved over to the bed. Waiting for the shower to turn on before stripping from my tight custom clothing and into the large t-shirt and boxers the Alpha had provided. Once changed I quietly moved into his closet, finding a backpack on the top shelf I reached for it, moving back into the room I quickly packed what I would need,m. A precaution in case my backpack that was still hidden in the forest had been found. Stuffing in the clothes I had been given, a jacket, and the boots. I would find more supplies later. Hiding the backpack behind the chair in the corner I returned to the bed.

Collapsing onto the soft covers felt like heaven. I had never experienced a bed quite so large or comfortable, and it caused me to starfish on the mattress. I was practically purring in contempt when the shower turned off. And the Alpha emerged from the bathroom wearing nothing but a towel hanging off his waist.

The sight of him was magnificent. Water droplets littered across his exposed muscle and cascaded down between his abdominal lines, falling between his prominent v-line and behind the towel.

I wanted to be those water droplets. My wolf was drooling in my mind.

"If you want to see more baby all you have to do is ask." The Alpha raised his hands to his towel and began to undo it.

"No thanks, we wouldn't want me to be disappointed by the size, would we?" I smirked from my response as he processed the insult to his manhood. His hands halted their movement as he smirked back at me.

"Oh don't you worry about that, I think you'll be more than satisfied by the size, and my other skills very soon." I rolled my eyes at his response and turned over in the bed to face the wall, tucking myself under the warm covers. Hearing him move into the closet I closed my eyes, ready for sleep to take a hold of my body. But my comfort was disrupted when the far side of the dipped and the side lamp was turned off, leaving us in darkness.

"What are you doing?" I rolled back over to look at the Alpha who was lying on his back, on top of the duvet in nothing but boxers. He closed his eyes in response before tucking his hands behind his head.

"Trying to sleep in my bed." I shook myself from gazing at his well-presented and exposed body before processing his response.

"No, you sleep on the couch." I began to slowly nudge him off the bed with my feet. But found it difficult to move the incredibly heavy male.

"This is my bed, why would I sleep on the couch?" The Alpha seemed unbothered by my feet prodding into his side and instead proceeded to move under the covers and tuck himself in, facing me.

"Because I am not sleeping in the same bed as you," I growled out. The Alpha opened one eye to gaze at me, before closing it and shrugging me off. I let out a growl of annoyance as I went to move to the couch. But my foot was grabbed and I was pulled back into the front of the Alpha. My back connecting with his chest, as my but was placed against his groin. Wrapping his large arm around me he purred in contempt, sniffing the back of my neck, before placing a kiss at the base.

"Much better." Finally processing what the fuck had just happened I began to wiggle away from the Large male currently draped over my back. But his arm tightened around me, preventing me from moving.

"Let me go you fuck," I growled at him. He released a growl back. One that was much louder and more aggressive. Causing my wolf to whimper in my mind and immediately submit to him. My body froze in reaction to the powerful growl. Noticing my lack of movement he snuggled himself into my back before relaxing.

This was a battle I had lost. But once he was asleep he would roll away. I found my body subconsciously relaxing into him. Finding comfort in the warmth his body provided me. And for the first time in 4 years, I fell asleep feeling safe.

****************************

I woke up a few hours later, my body had trained itself to only sleep for a short period at a time. Sleeping left me vulnerable to the environment around me. And being vulnerable meant being caught. Again, the irony.

I shifted slightly as I opened my eyes, allowing them to adjust to the dark room around me. Feeling a heavy weight on my chest I looked down to find the Alpha asleep. His head resting on my breasts as his one arm was wrapped around my waist. His legs intertwined with mine. He looked so peaceful in his sleep, so innocent. So different to the emotionless wolf he was when he was awake.

I began to slowly shift away. Careful not to wake him, as I untangled my legs from beneath his and slowly removed his arm from around my waist. As I moved off the mattress he shifted forward, reaching his arm out into the space where I was previously laying. Looking for me. I quickly place a pillow in that area which he grabbed and pulled into himself. Relief washed through me as he remained asleep. I smirked at the sight of him snuggling with a pillow. What a fucking sook.

Pulling myself out of the trance I quietly but quickly raced to the backpack, grabbing it from behind the couch and throwing it over my shoulder I carefully opened the door. Cringing internally when it squeaked from opening. I froze as I heard the Alpha shift in the bed behind me. Glancing over my shoulder, I released a breath I had been holding when I saw him still quietly sleeping.

Racing along my path of escape, I scented the air for any signs of guardsmen around. Not finding any in the house I continued tracking through the doorways. My freedom was so close I could taste it on my tongue. Entering the Great Hall I began to feel jittery. I would finally be free. My wolf whined in my brain, begging me to go back to him, and I found a very very small part of myself feeling sad at the thought of leaving him. But I pushed both away into the back of my mind.

It would be better this way. I would be safer, and he would not have to worry about protecting me. I wasn't dumb, I know the amount of wolves that would come searching for me. If I were here or not they would come. And they would do anything to obtain me. At least this way no one would be harmed for me.

I made it to the front door. Turning the handle I noticed it was locked. Fuck, window it was. Sliding up the big window I slipped my body through the small gap. Landing on the front porch I scanned the area. No guards in sight. And while the house seemed unguarded I know there would be patrols on the border. The issue would be getting past them unnoticed. Making a sprint I dashed into the tree line. I had come from the West when I had been caught and was heading East with the Herds, my main source of food. To head back West would be unpredictable but could end up in starvation. But to head East would be predictable. But again, only Alpha Ezekias's pack knew where I was headed. And unless the Alpha himself came after me, I would evade them easily. But I knew he would come. I'd just have to be smarter.

I would head East. Leaving behind my backpack, as it would take too much time to retrieve, I began on my journey. Running through the forest, I felt my face split into a smile.

Finally, freedom.

My toes felt cold as they connected with the damp forest floor, the wind felt cool as it whipped through my hair. I deeply inhaled, letting the smells of the forest invade my senses. It smelt like home. My legs remained bare as I was still wearing his pyjamas. A tactical move as it meant I was giving off his scent, which would confuse his trackers and the rest of his pack if they came looking for me. I would change once I had found running water as it would give me the chance to cover my own scent.

Taking a step forward I felt pain. Blossoming in my side, spreading through my body I collapsed to the ground. My womb felt as though it was convulsing and I gasped and my core felt as though it had been set on fire.

My heat had arrived.

Fuck this was not good. My scent would be much more potent, as my body craved to be mated. Nature's way of ensuring our survival as a race. Again, more irony considering the circumstances.

I grunted and rose to my feet. I needed to find that running water source. And I needed to find it now. I continued my run, pain continuing to spread through my body. My wolf was howling in my mind. Begging we go back to our mate. Telling me how he could please me in ways no other male could. Pushing images into my brain to try and coerce me.

I felt my core grow wet from the thought. My body continuing to heat up as it begged to be sated. I pushed the thoughts away, trying to keep pace and make it to the water. But my pain was growing worse. I had never felt pain like this before. It was all consuming and seemed to grow more intense by the second.

I collapsed to the ground in a foetal position as my body began to pulsate everywhere. My clit throbbing with the need to be stimulated. I couldn't find the strength to move as my skin burned.

"Well, would you look at that boys. We smelt correctly, a female in heat. My, my." I gasped and opened my eyes, a group of males stood above my curled body. The largest of the three bent down to inspect me further, his brown eyes running the length of my body as he licked his lips in anticipation. I snarled as he reached a hand forward to run it along the length of my calf. My body felt soothed by a males touch, but my mind was repelled by the feeling of his hand on my body.

"Get the fuck away from me," I growled out, my canines extending into sharp teeth, as I felt my wolf come forward. She didn't want to be touch by anyone except her mate.

And for the first time in a while, I agreed with her.

"Now now sweetheart, you look to be in pain. I'm willing to bet in a few minutes you're going to be begging me to help you out. Lucky for you, I'm a generous man. And if you ask me nice enough. I'll end your pain." The wolf smirked as he disregarded my wolf's threat. My eyes ran the length of his body and the men behind him. They were well taken care of, well fed and appeared to be well trained. They were pack wolves. And considering we were on Alpha Zeke's territory I would assume they were in his pack.

"I am Alpha Ezekiel's mate. If you touch me he will find out. And he will kill you for it." I tried to throw them off, distract them for as long as possible while I built up the strength to run. The males pondered my statement for a moment.

"She could be telling the truth. Remember the rumour of Alpha finding a female?" The male to the left of the crouched wolf spoke. His interest in me seemed to dissipate with my threat of the Alpha.

"So? It's just a rumour, and if this was the she-wolf he found, and she was his mate like she claimed, she wouldn't be out here on her own. I guarantee he would've tied her to his bedpost and wouldn't let her out till she was mated and marked. Which means she is ours for the taking." The third wolf spoke. His eyes hadn't moved from my exposed legs as he palmed himself through the front of his jeans. I wanted to retch from the sight. The crouched wolf in front of me stood up and turned to face the two other wolves. If I wanted to run I had to go now. Ignoring the burning sensation in my body I jumped to my feet, shoving the largest wolf into the other two, causing them to collapse to the ground. My body screamed in protest as I took off running.

A sound of a loud roar came behind. This roar was powerful, full of dominance and it sounded very, very angry. I would not expect one of those males to carry such a roar. It had to be Dions.

Fuck they were already close.

Pushing my panic to the side of my mine I continued my run; trying to stay focused on not collapsing from the pain.

I heard the loud thud of footsteps behind me. These steps were moving with speed and I could hear them slowly gaining. I pushed myself to run faster, but my muscles were fatigued, and my body continued to burn from the pain of the heat growing with intensity.

I felt myself tackled from behind, my body flipped mid-air so that I would land on top of the wolf who tackled me. I growled on impact, desperately attempting to push away from the large male beneath me.

"Did you really think you could escape me mate?" The Alpha's voice tickled my ear. My body relaxed into the warmth and safety of my mate. I moaned from the feeling of his body against mine. The feeling of my skin against his was divine. My wolf preened inside my mind, she called for her mate to end the suffering of our heat.

He rose to his feet, lifting me in a bridal position. I pressed my head into his neck, shifting my body so it was pressed tightly against his. I stuck my tongue out, using it to run the length of his neck. I groaned at the taste of his skin.

"I have a cabin close by. We will stay there while you're in heat."

I couldn't respond. Instead, I kept administrating my kisses to his neck, loving his taste.

He basically ran to the nearby cabin. Throwing open the front door he quickly moved us inside. Heading directly into the bedroom he slammed the door behind us as we entered. Tossing my body onto the bed. I immediately felt an increase in my pain when my body lost contact with his.

I ran my gaze along his body as he stalked over to me, wearing only shorts i felt myself cream at the sight of him. Pure male approached me. His body was perfectly honed into a war machine. Scars littered his stone hard muscle.

I wanted to lick those scars. He scented the air, clearly smelling my arousal as a smirk danced across his features. His eyes lit up with want.

My eyes watched him as he neared the foot of the large bed. Even when standing the bed frame only reached just below his waist line. This bed was obnoxiously large.

He reached forward, grabbing my foot he pulled me back to him, with my legs hanging off the bed he tossed my body onto its front. I growled in frustration and surprise. What was he doing?

He grabbed the shorts before pulling them down towards my knees, leaving my bare ass open to his gaze. I began to move forward. I may be in heat but this was not how I would lose my virginity. His hand pressed onto my lower back, preventing me from moving anywhere.

"Don't worry Cecil. I'm not going to do anything you aren't begging me too. But you did run away tonight. That was a very naughty thing to do. And naughty girls deserved to be disciplined." The Alpha's voice was gentle but firm. I relaxed into the bed as I heard his words. He wasn't going to do anything. Suddenly his palm connected with my exposed right ass cheek. Causing it to sting from the contact, but at the same time, it was soothed from the contact with his skin. I groaned in both pain and arousal.

"What the fuck are you doing?" I intended my voice to be firm and annoyed, but instead, the comment sounded like more of a pant.

"Disciplining you." The Alpha rewarded my question with another smack. This one to my left cheek. I growled again. Attempting to again shift away I felt his hand press more firmly into my back. I halted completely, his claws had extended, the sharp edges pressing into the delicate skin of my back. I knew he wouldn't hurt me. But it was a clear warning to behave. His palm connected with my butt a further four times. My ass was stinging, my body still in pain from the heat but it seemed to be dulled by his constant attention. And I was dripping for him, my core releasing so much liquid I could feel it beginning to trickle down my thighs. The Alpha also seemed to notice the lake running down my thighs as he casually ran a finger through the liquid, groaning at the sight.

Knowing it was for him.

His large hand wrapped around my waist before he flipped me onto my back. He pushed by body slightly up the bed so my lower half was resting on the bed instead of hanging off. He lent over my body, running his hands up my sides he lent down towards my face. His lips hovering directly over mine, barely touching but so close I could feel his minty breath. I raised my lips to meet his but he quickly pulled away. His lip twitching upward as my lips missed his. His eyes shone mischievously.

He wanted to play. Fine. I could play. I wrapped my bare legs around his lower back. Jerking him forward so his body fell forward. He caught himself on his hands. His body resting in a plank position above mine. My hands shot-out sideways, knocking his elbows outward so his arms collapsed and his body crashed onto mine. I smirked at his shocked expression before grabbing his face and mashing my lips against him. My body instantly reacted, igniting even further with arousal while my heat seemed to subside even more.

It took him a few seconds to realise what had happened before he responded to me. His lips finally moving against mine, he pressed them together more aggressively before biting my lower lip hard. I moaned from the feeling of him. His moved his lips away and instead began to press his kisses further down my neck. Sucking and nipping the skin at pleasure. My back arched when his lips navigated my sensitive spot. Toward the base of my neck where my neck met my collarbone.

He continued his assault downward, skipping past my breasts he lifted my (or should I say his) shirt. Only exposing my bellybutton, and descended kisses upon my lower stomach. Continuously moving downward, sucking at my skin at random points. Quickly realising where he was headed I tried to shut my legs. I knew I was turned on, but no male had ever been down there. Kissing and touching were one thing, but him eating me out was totally different.

He growled as my legs had shut around his neck, leaving his head immobile. His eyes reached up to mine in question from my sudden change.

"Y-you don't have to." I stammered out. Trying to stop him without making myself embarrassed. My wolf whined at my reaction, both her and my body were begging him to get to work. I was so very aroused, and still burning from the inside out from the heat.

"I'm not doing this because I have to. I'm doing this because I want to. You smell so fucking good and my wolf is begging me to taste you. I'm begging to taste you. I want to only be able to taste you for the rest of my fucking life." Alpha Zeke's eyes hadn't left mine. I don't think he had ever had to ask for something in his entire life.

Noticing my hesitation begin to fade his hands ran up my thighs to my knees. Slowly pushing them open. Giving him access to the area in-between my legs.

His eyes broke contact with mine as he gazed at my open core. I had never felt so exposed in my life. He moved back onto his knees. Simply staring. Raising a hand he gently brushed his knuckles gently against my nether lips.

"Such a pretty pussy." He ran a finger in between my folds. Causing my body to jerk from the feeling and more liquid to steadily flow out. Leaning forward he lowered his head, pressing his nose against me he inhaled deeply.

He growled out softy;

"I like this." His tongue dashed out and he ran a steady line from the base to the tip of my clit. My back arched from the feeling as my hands darted into his hair. He closed his eyes and moaned from the taste.

He used his tongue to run the length of me again. My body instinctually moving to get away from the intense pleasure. He immediately laid a thick arm across my abdomen. Keeping me in place. Forcing me to submit to him and his wants. He thrust his tongue inside me. Repeatedly moving in and out. He removed his tongue before kissing around the area. Taking a lip into his mouth and sucking it. I moaned from the feeling of him.

He again moved his lips upward, wrapping around my clit he viciously sucked it into his mouth. My body was constantly trying to move. A feeling of intense pleasure was balling inside my stomach. Constantly building.

"A-Alpha." I cried out as he continuously nibbled and suckled my clit. I cried out as he pulled back to respond;

"It's Zeke when we're like this. Fuck, it's anything you want when we're like this." I nodded in response before attempting to pull his head back towards me. The pleasure was building and I could feel it waiting to be released. He chuckled at my impatience before lowering his head, immediately thrusting his tongue into my core.

"Zeke!" I cried out, so close to finishing. But every time I could feel myself nearly release he would slow down. Not letting me come. I grew impatient and moaned in desperation.

"Please! Please, Zeke!"

"What are you asking for Cecil?" He blew a breath of cold air onto my quivering core. Causing it to clench from the feeling.

"Please make me come! I want to come!" I begged Zeke for release my body couldn't handle waiting any longer. Zeke released a growl of approval, thrusting a finger inside me he continued his administrations to my clit. Working effectively I felt myself begin to build. Soon I hit climax and felt myself release onto his fingers. The pain in my body seemed to automatically dissipate from my release. But he didn't stop.

He continued working me until quickly I was climaxing again.

"Zeke!" I cried out his name as I felt myself release more liquid onto his fingers. His tongue was licking it all up. Zeke groaning at the taste. He slowed his finger but did not pull it out. Instead kept moving at a leisure pace.

"I don't want to stop. I want more." Zeke's voice was slightly muffled as he kept lapping at my liquids.

"Please no more. I can't take another one." I moaned out as his finger sped up again.

"One more. Just one more." Zeke urged me on. My body seemed to make up its's mind before I did as I felt my hand pushing his head back towards my core. Catching a glimpse of his smirking lips before they latched onto my clit again, and within minutes I was climaxing for the third time. My body felt drained as he slowed his movements and eventually pulled out his finger.

My body felt so sated. So satisfied as my wolf preened inside my mind. Excited to meet his wolf and receive similar treatment. I felt my eyes begin to close out of exhaustion as Zeke picked up my body and moved it further up the bed.

He walked into the bathroom before returning with a warm wet cloth. Opening my legs slightly before cleaning in-between them. He then threw the cloth before snuggling into bed behind me;

"You're amazing baby. Now go to bed. You're safe." Zeke's words were comforting yet I barely heard them as I feel my body give in to the pull of sleep.
