ROMANCE: BAD BOY ROMANCE: Love Fight (Bad Boy College Alpha Male Romance) (Contemporary New Adult Romance Short Stories) (75 page)

              “We are still going to go to the woods eventually right?  I mean not wait for too long?  How much did this cost?  How did we afford it?”  She asked him.

              “We will move to the woods yes, don’t worry.  There are only around 100 people at the most in this town.  Don’t worry about the money, I had it.  Please Colleen you need to think of the baby.”  Kaiden told her, trying to calm all of her fears at once.

              “I just think we would be better off without anyone around us.”  Colleen looked out the window her fear apparent. 

              “Look at any sign of someone knowing who either of us are, I can do a spell. It is a hard one to do, but I believe I have enough magic skill to do it.”  Kaiden explained.

Colleen looked at him, she studied him deeply.  She saw no sign of betrayal in his eyes.  He did love her, she could tell that so she felt safe.

              “You will do this spell if anyone notices either of us?”  Colleen questioned again.

              “Yes I promise you that I will do the forget spell if anyone says a word to us that we have to wonder if we have been discovered or not.  I will not make us run, not while you are pregnant.  I also promise you that within the next few months I’ll start looking for a place in the woods for us to build.”  Kaiden said, putting his hands on top of hers.  “Please just trust me.  I won’t let a single thing happen to you or our little child.” 

She smiled up at him.  Her fears seemed to be something that would drive her crazy.  “Let’s go out and get some goods for our new home then.  We will see if anyone recognizes me.  I stand out a bit more than you do anyway!”  She commented.

It was true the Queen would have a bounty on her head for sure by now.  If they weren’t far enough from home, or if someone around here was from out of town, they might notice her. 

              “Alright, let’s go.”  Kaiden said and walked with her outside.

He helped her get into the wagon.  Heading into town, Colleen had a dreadful feeling cross over her body.  She wasn’t sure why, but she had a feeling that something might take place.  She hoped that Kaiden was ready with this spell.  In fact as she thought about it maybe they should have just done the spell without going to get the goods.

She turned to him about ready to ask him what he thought.

              “I don’t know if that would be a good idea.  What if no one notices you?  If I use this spell I don’t know how long it will take to recover.  We use it now, and in a month or two someone notices you, I may not be able to do anything.  That will mean we will have to flee while you are pregnant, and much more so at that point.”  Kaiden commented.

              “Aye, you are right.”  She admitted.

He pulled up to the front of the store that looked very small from the outside. “ I don’t know how much stock they have on hand, but hopefully enough to start with!”  He stated.

They walked in and the shop keeper looked up. 

              “Hello, new to town?”  He asked them.  He seemed like a friendly sort.

              “Yes we just move down from up north.”  Kaiden stated, not giving the correct direction they had come to town from.

The man looked at Colleen.  “You look very familiar, do I know you from somewhere?”  He asked her.  His eyes got a far off look as if trying to place her face.

              “No I don’t think so sir.”  She answered, but felt the thrill of fear shot throughout her body.

Kaiden squeezed her hand to calm her down. 

              “The eyes they remind me of someone I once knew I think.”  He finally commented and looked away from the couple.

They bought their goods and left the store. 

              “Did he know me?”  Colleen asked almost before they were out the door.

              “I’m not sure he had too many questions going around in his head.  But I will do the spell once we get home if you want.  Or we can wait to see if he says anything to anyone.  He didn’t have a direct link to who you might be set in his mind though.  So we might be safe.”  Kaiden explained.

              “That mind reading ability you have is very helpful.”  Colleen commented.

              “I love it.”  Kaiden admitted.

              “Let’s wait to see if he says anything to anyone before you use the spell.  But we might have to be very careful about it.  All it takes is one person thinking the wrong thing, and I don’t know if they will kill me or simply turn me over.”  Colleen stated.

              “I can tell you he had nothing in his mind about killing you for now!”  Kaiden commented.  “If he had he wouldn’t be alive still.” 

Colleen looked at him no doubt that he was telling the truth.

              “Is there a way you can try and focus on the whole town’s thoughts?”  Colleen asked.

              “It would take a lot out of me too, and trying to keep them all separate would be impossible for now.”  He stated.

              “But if you hear someone think something well you can do the spell, right?”  Colleen said.

              “Alright let me do it when we get home.  I’ll see if I hear anything.”

When they got back to their new home, Colleen put the things away and Kaiden sat down to focus. 

Colleen watched him from the other side of the room.  The whole time she couldn’t get away from the feeling of fear in her mind.  She watched as his brow furrowed.

              “I’m sorry dear I’m going to have to do the spell.  I hear far too many whispers about an heiress being in the kingdom.  Someone the Queen is searching for.  I don’t know who brought in the rumors or anything.  But I know we need to stop them now.”  Kaiden explained.

              “I had a feeling this whole time.”  Colleen admitted.

Kaiden focused and chanted the words for the spell.  Colleen watched intently as he looked as if he aged years in front of her.

              “I don’t know if I’m strong enough.  I might be able to do it.”  Kaiden stated.

She walked over behind him and put her hands on his shoulders.  “Use some of my energy if you need too.” 

              “I can’t it may hurt the baby.  This has to be all me.”  Kaiden admitted.

As she watched  she saw a few of his hairs turn gray on the sides of his head.  The moments passed and more hairs turned color.  Colleen began to worry wondering if he was going to survive this spell.

Finally, he fell to the ground.  “It is done, we are safe.  But I’m sorry baby we will have to stay in town for a while.  Please help me to bed.”  Kaiden whispered.

Colleen looked at him.  “Will you be okay?”  She asked, worried.

              “Yes I just need sleep.”  Kaiden said.

Colleen helped him lie down on the bed and curled up beside him.  He placed a hand on her stomach.  “It is safe for us now.  But I don’t know how long this spell will last on them.  I also placed a barrier up around the town to not allow new news into this town.  It is what really took the power out of me.  However, we can be safe here for a long time now.  I hope anyway.”  Kaiden said and closed his eyes.

THE END

Alpha’s heart

There was a chill in the air and a light, wet haze covered everything I could see in the pale moonlight. My senses guided me through the trees as I clutched my rifle close to me. For once, the field was quiet, but I knew that was only because we hadn’t been spotted yet. As soon as me or one of my men made the wrong move the whole land would come alive with an uproar of bullets and blood.

Thankfully, I was the only one still in human form. I usually was, but only because my job was the most precious. As soon as we neared the base I had to take the sentry out while my brothers, still in wolf form, took the base. This time, however, I knew it wouldn’t be so easy. Vampires are never easy. Then again, taking out the cold-blooded freaks would be even harder to do for a ‘normal’ person. Normal people… Do they even really exist?

The entire reason my unit was made was to take out those leeches. In some ways, I could be grateful to the men who made it possible, but for my boys and I, something about the whole thing was just…unsettling. Night after night we’d stalk the fallen remains of battlegrounds long after the winners and losers were decided. Do they think we’re cowards? I wondered, eyeing a wolf’s tail and then another on my opposite side. We’re wolves, not vultures.

I growled, feeling my wolf stirring and clawing at my heart. Just a few feet ahead, I could see a dim light coming out from a short structure in the distance. As we neared the clearing, I slowed down and then stopped completely. I held a hand up to tell the others to stop and all at once, the air was still. Very faintly, I could hear my pack’s breaths. The slow, controlled breaths we had to do in order to keep the vampires off our tracks.

Where are you…? I wondered as I scoped out the base with my night vision binoculars, looking for a trace of movement. Perched atop a tower overseeing the whole base, I could make out subtle movements. I raised my rifle and took aim, but as I slid my finger onto the trigger and peculiar scent graced my nose. After giving my head a firm shake, nearly knocking my helmet off, I readjusted my hold on the weapon only for it to falter again. Out of frustration, I growled and tried to pin the scent to a memory. The sweet, Earthy scent reminded me of something, but I couldn’t remember what.

My ear twitched on upon reflex as someone shifted back into human form and walked up behind me. I could tell it was Jack based on his heavy, musky scent now covering the old scent’s. Growing more frustrated, I snarled at him, but he put one of his heavy hands on my shoulder.

“Hey, what’s the hold up?” he asked in a whisper right into my ear.

I tapped his hand twice, signaling him to let go. As his hand slipped off, I replied, “There’s something weird about that guy up there. He doesn’t smell like a normal vampire.”

Jack coughed up a dry laugh. “So? Take him out.”

A part of me wanted to reach back there and punch Jack right in the shoulder. No matter what we did, he always had to be so short sighted. No, there has to be more to it than that. “I want to investigate,” I stated, taking a step forward. I turned around as the other wolves walked up beside Jack. “I’m going up there to check it out for myself. I’ll give a signal when it’s safe to go in, all right? If you don’t see the signal for a while, well then…”

Jack crossed his arms, glaring at me. “I hope your hunch is right, Ross.”

I smirked and said, “Hasn’t steered me wrong yet.”

The soldier wearing only a few weapon belts and a large backpack nodded to me and the wolves around him scattered into various sections of the forest—surrounding the base. I took a deep breath and turned to the structure. Just the size of it made my heart skip a beat, but I was determined to see why I couldn’t pull the trigger.

In the back of my mind, I didn’t truly know whether this was the right choice or not, but as I ascended the tower, I felt surer in my decision. It was easy to convince the others that I was confident, but much harder to convince myself. I climbed up the tall, thinly built structure with one hand since the other was holding my rifle, but eventually I made it to the top.

Standing before me, back facing me was a soldier unlike any other. The scent that rolled off of them was sweet—almost like perfume and they weren’t the size of a regular soldier at all. They were big—bigger than I thought their uniform could fit them, and yet, I found myself enjoying the size. They wore a tight outfit of cameo, but part of their midsection was exposed. I knew it’d be too easy to kill them, so I figured that I could do them a favor and spare them since I had the choice.

I crept up behind the unsuspecting soldier, pulling out my knife to hold against their throat as I raised my foot to kick the gun out of their dangling hand. The solder flailed in my grasp and it was difficult to keep a hold of them, but digging into my werewolf muscle helped to keep them secure.

“Pl-please! Oh, please! Have mercy!” cried a feminine voice, making me stop for a moment.

Am I hearing things…? “What was that, soldier?” I asked for confirmation.

“I… I…” The voice choked out, making me release my grip a little. “I don’t want to die…”

Oh my God! A woman… A woman…here? Of all the places. It’s weird. She doesn’t smell like them… She’s even feels warm. I clicked my tongue disapprovingly. “Hey now, no one’s killing anyone.”

“Yeah…?” she asked weakly, now trembling in my hands.

“Yeah,” I replied as I pulled my knife away, but pulled her weapon to me with my foot. Just in case you decide to change your mind… I thought as I looked down at the pistol. She turned around to mouth the words, ‘Thank you,’ but I forced myself to focus on the task at hand. Looking around at the other stations, I asked, “So, where is everyone else? Looks like it’s just you.”

She clutched her arm, looking away as she said, “Yeah, well… The guys said that they didn’t need the extra protection ‘cause I’d do well enough. No one goes after guys like them.”

I raised an eyebrow. “You say it like you’re not one of them either.”

For a moment, she looked as though she was stumbling through her options. I knew what the base was full of, blood sucking husks, but something about her was different. The way she carried herself and the way she looked at me with her big, blue eyes made something in me stir. Eventually, my gaze went past her eyes and down her body, checking every curve and perfectly shaped handle.

For the first time in a while, I felt my heart racing for something other than a kill or an order for my brothers and me. After spending all of my time with men, day in and day out, the lust kept in my wolf was begging to get out as shown by the growing bulge fighting with the fabric of my pants. A hand started to drift down to my zipper, but I snapped out of my daze when the woman said, “W-well, I might actually not be like them, but my brother is… He’s the whole reason I’m up here now.” She sighed. “I just wanted to help…” 

This woman doesn’t seem so dangerous. If I distract her for long enough, then I’ll probably be able to get my boys in safely… How to keep her distracted…? My mind searched for answers, but it kept coming back to her different features. Everything about her in that instance seemed to get my blood rushing from her golden blonde hair tied up under her hat to the breasts hardly concealed under her vest. Licking my lips imagining making the cute female drip for me, I finally realized what I’d been missing from the second I saw her. Oh… I know just what to do…

“Heh, well… I think you were doing a pretty great job if I’m to be honest,” I said with a smile.

She perked up a little and asked, “Really?”

I nodded slowly, subtly adjusting myself from outside my pants. She giggled quietly. I added, “I couldn’t even see you. That’s why I had to come up here—to get a closer look.” Taking a step forward, holding my hand out, I said, “My name is Ross by the way.”

Hesitantly, she put her soft, warm palm in mine. “I’m Rose.”

I hummed and said, “Ah, Rose is such a nice name.”

Thanks to my enhanced vision, I could see the speckles of red dashed across her plump cheeks. “Th-thank you,” she choked out, uneasily putting all her weight on one leg and then the other.

“Damn,” I started to say in a husky voice, drawing nearer, “You act as sweet as you smell and as lovely as your name, Rose.”

Her eyes widened in alarm and my stiffness pulsed from inside of my pants.

“Y-you really think that…?” she asked with her eyes almost closing as my hands came up to caress her sides.

“Mm-hmm,” I hummed in reply, one of my hands reaching to cup her cheek. I stroked it with my thumb as I leaned in and pressed my lips to hers, holding the kiss just long enough for my fingers to slip up her shirt. Rose gasped into my mouth as I tease her right nipple with my finger tips and then the other, feeling the little nubs getting harder thanks to my tentative touch.

Rose pulled away from my kiss before I could sneak my tongue into her mouth, but she pressed her forehead against mine. Hoarsely, she whispered, “That feels good, Ross, but do you really think now is…?”

“I can’t think of a better time… I have to make up for startling you earlier, don’t I?” I might just enjoy this more than you will, Rose. How many of these guys ask to lick you with their dirty little fangs, huh? Let me show you what a real man can do…

By the time Rose could giggle again, my hand fell out of her shirt and the finger tips dug at the lining of her pants. Nails grew into claws, my wolf lusting for more of her as the seconds went by. She squirmed in my grasp, and as I worked my way farther and farther, brushing my fingers past her slightly furred mound and teasing her lips with my hand I could already feel that she was ready for me—even without my tongue to make her hot or my fingers to stretch her.

A grin grew wider across my face and my cock throbbed, wanting so badly to be in her tight little snatch. Before I forgot to, I raised my hand to give the signal and my trained ears could hear the wolf shifters hidden in the forest dashing onto the base to start the attack. To keep Rose distracted, I undid her pants with the hand once cupping her face and with my other, I ran two fingers up and down her labia, feeling them getting wetter by the second. Her entrance gushed when I finally prodded it with my two fingers, but she started to catch onto the screams and shouts going on in the background.

“Hush, don’t worry about them,” I reassured her as I looked into her eyes. “It’s just you and me. They can handle whatever it is. They’re vampires, right?”

“I…I guess so…”

“There we go…”

Many years later…

Back when I was younger, a woman would usually be the victim of my morning cock-stab, but these days that honor belonged to my blanket. This morning was slightly different from usual, however. Since I had such a thick, long cock, it drooled near my thigh, but this time there wasn’t any sign of a wet spot. Stretching my arms out and letting out a yawn, I could really feel my solidness begging for some attention.

Each throb earned a stroke, but looking over at my alarm made me groan. Ugh… He’s gonna be calling any moment now telling me what he wants. Last thing I wanna do is start jacking off only to get blueballed. I growled and scratched my chest. It was always an odd thing to go to sleep as a wolf only to wake up as a man. The faint remnants of my dream had me believing I was chasing a few rabbits through a field, but as I started to come back the rabbits turned into soldiers and it was like I was in the war all over again.

Their pale white faces, the moonlight, and the mist. It was a confusing thing for me. At one end I hated it. I hated everything I’d ever done or been told to do, but at the same time I was one of the lucky ones. I was one of the survivors and my time in the war could forever be a part of the stories I’d tell my grandchildren. The time of the “glory days.” Grandchildren when I don’t have so much as a fuck-buddy at my side… I scoffed, denoting the thought as I swung my legs over and stretched them out.

Throughout my thoughts, my hard-on persisted. The blood of a shifter is said to be warmer than a normal person’s. Add in that I belong to the wolf shifting family and alongside the warmth, I have a libido to go along with it. It could be fun some days and a complete pain another. Either way, even if I found a woman that liked me, it was rare that she was able to keep up with me for very long. Not that I minded since I had variety, but sometimes I liked to think that just one would stay with me for one more night.

I shook my head clear of the thoughts and hopped out of bed. As I walked into the bathroom, naked, my cock bobbed with every step I took. Not realizing it, I ended up pawing at myself at every chance I got. My touch felt nice on the stiff rod, giving me just enough pleasure to keep me going and I earned a few beads of thick pre-cum from it. “Mmff, yeah…” I groaned purely out of lust, bucking my hips into my hand as I brushed my teeth.

One look in the mirror let me know how far I’d gone into letting the lust take me. The few streaks of grey in my otherwise jet black hair sat right above my fluttering eyelids. My mouth, surrounded by a thick outline of facial hair hung open, letting one hot breath escape after the other.

Before I knew it, I was standing in the shower, hand pumping my cock faster and faster as the hot water ran down my body. I moaned and groaned quietly, loving every second I took to handle my raging, tan and pink colored member. A hand squeezed out some soap and brought it down to my balls, washing them mid-fondle as my hand squeezed my shaft harder.
