Summer of the Beast (5 page)

She hissed as Kelvin and Salvador tightened the clamps onto her breasts. Landon could have sworn a shot of electricity shot up his arms and through his body when Violet turned her head, pushing Salvador away from her. “They're watching us, waiting for something,” she mumbled, almost in a trance.

Landon turned to the east and sniffed the air. Her gift of magic from the claiming rushed up. Gently he picked her up in his arms. Caser, Norris, Salvador, and Kelvin all rose. “Caser, take your daughter and wife into the club. Have Matt lock it down once all the women are inside.” He lowered her feet to the ground, kissing her neck while his gaze never left the trees.

“It seems the worm has come to us.” Men pushed their women towards the club, sensing the danger all around them. Fur and bones cracked. As he shifted to his wolf form, Landon heard the bolts of the locks closing around the building and nodded to Norris, who would meet the Dog Squad on the north.
Salvador, take six men to the south side, and be careful. More rogues are here also.

Landon, we're on our way. My son's team is already backing up the Dog Squad,
Blane snapped, his voice spoken to all that followed under him.

Kelvin, let's meet this attack head on.
Landon growled loudly, issuing the challenge once more to the previous alpha. He knew that no matter what he was, Andrew wouldn't be able to back down from a challenge.

Watch yourself, Landon, he's not just a wolf now.
Blane ordered
. I won't have my granddaughter weeping for her mate for the rest of her life.

He snorted.
Old man, are you forgetting I'm not just a wolf anymore also?
he asked as Landon watched Andrew step out of the trees, followed by six rogue vampire wolves. Landon faced his old alpha. He shifted to half man and half beast, growing past seven feet tall. He cracked his neck.

“I should have burned your body long ago, but I won't make that mistake again, Andrew. So what's this, amassing an army with the dead?” He raised his clawed hand out and pointed to the rogues at his side. Kelvin and six others moved to his sides, but kept a fighting distance.

Andrew sneered and nodded to the other men around him. “Do you really think your men can take mine? You are right, though. You should have burned my body, pup, because now I'm going to take it all away, including your mate. She'll be mine and bear my cubs. With her power and mine, no one will stop us.”

Now!
Landon ordered his mates. Their new powers spread to the male pack members, each one shifted to half man, half beast—taller, stronger, and more deadly. “You see, you're not the only one who's changed,” he snapped and attacked Andrew, while the others attacked around the building.

He raked his clawed hand across Andrew's chest before Andrew could attack him. “You're too late to claim our mate. She's already ours.” Landon taunted his former alpha, but he didn't get the chance to attack.

Power of unseen proportions flowed around him and his men. He glanced up to see Violet floating off the ground, moving towards them. All fighting stopped around them for a minute until Landon heard the screams, then smelled the scent of blood from the other side of the club. He lunged and attacked Andrew while he was distracted. The wolf snapped down onto Andrew's neck as they fell to the ground. Landon could feel his own blood run down his back, but he didn't care. The adrenaline rush of victory was too powerful. Landon tore at Andrew's neck, ripping it to shreds, separating his head from his shoulders. He jumped up, grabbed one of the torches that lit the back area, and threw it on his body.

Flames and death filled the air. Men were picking up the other corpses and throwing their bodies into the flames, burning them. Howls surrounded them as the members of the pack celebrated their enemy's destruction.

Kelvin moved to his side and glance at his back. “You're bleeding like a pig. You'd better shift totally before Violet sees you.”

Landon nodded and shifted. Blane and Vanworth came around the building with Norris and Salvador in wolf form. Violet still didn't move, her eyes were glazed over, and her breathing was in small short gasps.

“Momma!” she screamed and fell to the ground before anyone could catch her. Vanworth knelt down next to her and swore. “Violet, come on. Snap out of it.” He ran his hand over her head and she blinked, then tears started to fall down her face.

“He killed Mom, I saw it all. Oh God, why didn't she let me heal her? We could have stood together against him.” Violet wrapped her arms around his neck when he shifted and picked her up into his arms.

“How did you get out here, Violet? Do you remember?” He kissed her neck and squeezed her.

She shook her head. “All I remember was talking to Father and then something pierced my brain. I was seeing everything he did to my mom.”

Vanworth stood. “I don't know how it's possible, but somehow Andrew has come into contact with someone with old magic. It wasn't my son. He didn't know how to use that kind of spell. Even I would have trouble with it.” He glanced at the burning bodies. “Whoever it was is still out there.”

Landon strolled towards the club. The locks flicked and doors opened. Her father rushed outside and greeted them. “One minute she was standing next to me, and the next she was gone.” Caser said.

“Her powers protected her, but they also led her to the man who hurt her. If Landon hadn't destroyed him, God knows what she would have done under a trance.” Vanworth ran his hand through his hair.

“I want to go home, Landon.” Violet mumbled into his neck. “Our home, take me there, please.”

Caser nodded. “Take her home. We'll clean up here and see you tomorrow.”

All five of them moved through the club without saying a word. He grabbed her coat from the back room and helped her put it on. “I'll let the punishment go now.” He flicked her nipples where the clamps use to be and closed the coat around her. He smiled, teasing her as once more he swung her up into his arms, going outside.

Blane's limo waited at the curb for them. The driver had the door open and he gently lowered Violet into it. “Go on, baby, scoot over.”

She slowly moved over and Landon got into the limo next to her. Violet laid her head down in his lap. “I'm never going to forget what he did to her, Landon. I close my eyes and I see her pain and how scared and alone she was.”

Kelvin picked up her feet and slipped off her shoes, gently rubbing her feet. “It will take time, but Violet, you have to remember it wasn't your fault. This man was deranged and evil. There was nothing you or your Mother could have done to stop him. Rest, Violet, soon we'll be home and we'll soak in the hot tub. Once we wash away all this death on us, we'll curl up together and watch the stars.”

Landon brushed her hair back away from her face. Her eyes, swollen and red from crying, were closed, but she held onto his leg with a tight grip. “We've got you, baby. No one is going to hurt you anymore.”

Her eyes opened and she stared up at him. “No one can promise that, Landon, even I know that. You'll try, as all of you will, but I won't hold you to that promise, because I know what evil is out there.” Violet reached up and cupped his cheek. “I'm very proud to belong to all of you.”

Chapter Eight

Violet stared out the door leading to the garage. It was packed to the ceiling with her belongings. Last night her men had washed her and carried her to the hot tub, caressing her till she fell asleep in their arms. With a coffee cup in her hand, she moved into the garage, traced her hand over the antique writing desk her mother had bought her, and smiled. “I'm going to write your story, Momma, about your sacrifice and love,” she whispered.

Warm, large arms wrapped around her and Violet leaned back against Kelvin's chest. “You should be sleeping. It's still early.” He nibbled her neck.

“I couldn't sleep, I'm an early riser.” She sipped her coffee. “I don't know what we're going to do with all of this furniture.”

“It's up to you, but you can replace anything in the house with something of yours if you like. I know there's a couple who lost everything about two weeks ago when lightning hit their house. If you want, we can donate whatever we don't want to them. Landon and the others have already started to rebuild their home for them.”

She laid her coffee down on the desk and turned in his arms. “You know, that's not a bad idea.” Violet kissed his naked chest.

“Come back to bed, Violet. Let us love you the way you deserve.” He lifted her up and carried her into the house.

He stepped into the bedroom and her eyes watered. Rose petals were all over the room, along with fresh-cut roses. Scented candles lit the room and her men stood by the bed, naked and waiting for her.

Landon stepped forward, took her out of Kelvin's arms and gently placed her in the center of the bed. He reached down and lifted her nightgown up over her body. “You're so beautiful. If I had my way, you would walk around our home naked all the time.”

She laughed. “That would be pretty embarrassing if we had company, especially with all you being alphas. I'm sure there will be someone stopping by all the time.” Violet circled his nipple with her nail.

He grabbed her wrists and Kelvin came over with silk scarves, tying them together. “Keep them there while we prepare you.” Landon flipped her over onto her stomach and lifted her hips up while Salvador stuffed a pillow under her.

Warm hands massaged her butt cheeks as another pair of hands rubbed warm oil onto her shoulders and she moaned. “You can do this every morning.”

Violet closed her eyes as another pair of hands picked up her foot and rubbed her heel. More warm oil was applied to her ass and a single digit traced her puckered hole. “It's time to stretch you.” Landon licked the side of her neck.

Slowly the single finger slid into her ass, in and out of her until another finger pushed into her. Violet tensed for a minute, but slowly relaxed when the oiled hands on her back brushed the side of her breasts. “Mm, more.” Violet pushed her butt back onto his fingers.

Two slaps landed on her cheeks and she tried to jump, but hands held her down. “It's time for that spanking, Violet,” Landon said behind her before three slaps landed again on her ass. A tingling sensation slid down to her pussy at the same time two fingers now moved into her pussy. “Landon!”

Fingers fucked her pussy and ass while her butt got spanked. “Come for us, Violet,” Landon ordered and a thumb brushed across her clit.

Her toes curled. Violet clamped her hands into fists, digging her nails into her palms as her body shook. Those amazing fingers disappeared and Violet moaned, only to tense up again. She glanced back to see Landon kneeling behind her, his cock brushing at her puckered hole.

“Relax Violet, and let us show you the fireworks we can make together.” The head of his cock slipped past the ring of her ass.

“Damn, you're tight. Norris, slowly lift her up,” Landon mumbled and pushed a couple of more inches inside her.

Pain and pleasure mixed together. Violet didn't know whether to scream in pain or moan in pleasure. Norris slowly lifted her up and pushed her back into Landon's arms. His cock slid all the way into her until his balls rested against her stretched skin.

“Put your arms around my neck, Violet.” Kelvin reached over and lifted her tied hands and slipped them over Landon's head.

Norris kneeled in front of her and slowly slid his cock into her pussy. “Nice and easy, baby.”

She rocked her head back and forth on Landon's chest. “Too much!”

Someone reached down and slowly rubbed her clit, Norris sucked one nipple into his mouth while another hand squeezed her other breast. “Just feel us, Violet.” Landon bit down on her neck and held her still when Norris pushed the rest of the way into her.

Landon moved out of her slowly, then back in as Norris pulled out. “That's it, Violet,” Norris said around her breast.

Violet barely heard him. The sensations were too much for her to comprehend. They both picked up speed, their thick cocks rubbing every sensitive spot, including some she never knew she had. “God!”

“No, not God, but your mates. Come, Violet.” Landon said into her neck.

The room spun, bright lights danced in front of her, and sweat dripped down her face. “I'm coming!” Violet screamed while she clenched her pussy around Landon's cock and her ass around Norris's.

Norris slammed into her two more times before she felt him release his seed inside her. Landon growled behind her and released his seed.

“Fireworks, hmm,” she mumbled.

* * * *

Landon grinned and rubbed her arms after Kelvin untied her. Norris slipped out of her pussy at the same time as Landon pulled out of her ass. The little noises she made while they loved her drove him crazy.

Kelvin lay down on the bed and pulled Violet on top of him. Landon heard her moan as he got off the bed to make room for Salvador, and he smiled as he went to the shower. Caser was due in an hour with Grace and her grandfathers. All of them were going to help her sort the furniture and her belongings this morning.

Violet's scent wrapped around Landon and he couldn't help stroking his cock, which swelled again from listening to her scream in the bedroom.

The shower curtain moved and Violet stepped into the shower with him. “Didn't you get enough?” she teased and traced her fingers along his cock.

“Never enough of you.” Landon wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his body, pinning her against the shower wall. He cupped her ass and lifted her up to lower her onto his cock. “Wrap your arms around me, Violet. This is going to be a quick, hard one.”

Violet nipped his nipple and tilted her head back to stare up at him. “Thank you, Landon, for finding me and bringing me home where I belong.”

Landon slammed into her. “I can promise you fireworks every day, baby, and a home filled with love, as long as you're by our side.”

The small gurgling noise she made filled the bathroom as her pussy clenched his cock. He shot another load into her pussy. He pumped twice into her and rested his chin on her head. “Every Fourth of July we will celebrate our love and the freedom our ancestors fought for. I love you, Violet. You're the sparkle in my life.”

Tears slowly rolled down her face as she lifted her head up and smiled at him. “And you and the others create my fireworks. I'll never leave your side, Master.”

He laughed and pulled back, swatting her ass while he pushed her under the warm water. “Wash, Beautiful. Your family will be here soon.” Landon grabbed the extra bar of soap, scrubbing her back and ass. Soon there would be children filling their home and he couldn't wait to show them their first fireworks and tell them about their mother. Even though there was still a threat to their mate, Landon knew without a doubt that they would live every day to the fullest.
