The Alpha's Toy (3 page)

You’re his toy. You’re not
here willingly.

She tried to cut off all of her lustful
thoughts about the man in front of her. Could her need for him have
anything to do with her virgin state? Mary hoped not. She wasn’t
ready to fall for a man she didn’t know.

You’re going to be having
sex with him by the end of the night. Virgin no longer.

When she’d made the agreement to be
with him, Mary hadn’t thought about that little hiccup. Shit, she
hoped it didn’t hurt. There was no way she could stand for him to
know he would be her first.

Probably her last, too, seeing as she
never trusted a male’s company.

The silver moved up her skin creating
a burning path of pain. Falling to her knees, she cried out as the
pain got too much.

Quickly the silver left her
skin
, and
Mary gasped. “Silver is not supposed to be like that,” Zeke said,
helping her to her feet.

“
I don’t suppose being
allergic to silver as a human wouldn’t have helped.” She always had
a severe reaction to silver jewelry and always had to go for gold
or not bother at all.

“
As a wolf that pain would
be magnified,” Zeke said.

“
I guess.” The silver
fucking hurt.

She watched Jessica being led away and
started struggling within Zeke’s arms. “You’re not going to hurt
her, are you?”

“
We have a deal. I keep my
word.”

“
You’ve just slaughtered my
entire pack. Forgive me if I don’t believe you.”

Zeke threw his head back and laughed. The
hand on her arm tightened. It didn’t hurt, but she knew there was
no chance of escape. He would stop her from going
anywhere.

“
It’s nice to know your bite
hasn’t been taken from you.” He moved in close, inhaling her scent.
“God, I can’t wait to see if your pussy is as tight as I
imagine.”

Crossing her legs, she glared at
him.

“
Crossing your legs is not
going to keep my dick from you. You’re going to have me
everywhere.” His hand moved to her ass, gripping her flesh tight.
“Your ass, mouth, cunt, and tits are all mine.”

Don’t be turned
on.

She was a virgin, but she wasn’t immune to
the lust. Since she’d been bitten, the sexual urges within her had
grown strong. There was nothing she could do to stop the cravings.
Those very same cravings had forced her to start buying porn movies
in an attempt to find some kind of release with her own hand. In
the last year alone she imagined she’d masturbated more than in the
whole of her life. At twenty-five years old it was quite
pitiful.

“
Ah, I see you like the sound of
that.”
Zeke
leaned in close pressing his nose against the curve of her neck. If
he was to bite her neck he’d kill her. Her pulse pounded, and she
tried to calm down. If he was to take a chunk out of her neck he’d
take a major artery, and being a half breed she wouldn’t be able to
survive such an attack. She hoped he would take into account her
more human side. “You want my dick, don’t you?”

Licking her lips, she stared past his
shoulder wishing there was something else she could be
doing.

“
You’re not going to answer. I
can live with that. I’ll have you begging soon enough.” Together
they walked out into the night. The warm air washed over her, and
she gasped. The scent of the night air called to her wolf, begging
to be released. This was the first time she’d kept her change
within her. The moment the full moon was high in the night sky she
liked to change. The next three days were important to her as it
kept the sickness at bay. When she hadn’t turned one month because
she could no longer stand the treatment of the pack, she’d been ill
for the entire month. Work had been horrid as she couldn’t stand
the noises and scents. The only way she could keep focus was if she
turned every full moon.

“
Your pack
were assholes,” Zeke said,
taking her away from the open land toward the tree line. She heard
the sound of the flowing water of the river and waterfall she knew
was there. The first time she’d found it, Mary hadn’t left the
waterfall for the entire weekend of the full moon.

“
What are you talking about?” she
asked, trying to keep up with his pace.
He was well over six feet, and she
was struggling to keep up with his long strides at her own five
foot six.

“
There are ways and means to keep
the wolf at bay. There are half breeds out there who cannot turn
every full moon. They have ways and means to handle themselves.
Running, working out, even taking a cold water bath can help with
the cravings.”

Mary hadn’t heard of other ways. Looking
back none of the pack wanted to talk to her. Roger and Dani had
been nice, but once she controlled the turning and knew what she
was doing neither of her leaders offered any advice. In fact,
besides Jessica, no one spoke to her at all. It was like she didn’t
exist to anyone. They kept the small room at their house for her to
stay in, but she felt more like a pet than a member of the
pack.

Shaking her head, she kept up with
Zeke’s paces.

“
I don’t know what you’re
talking about,” she said.

“
No, you
wouldn’t.”

She recognized where he was going as they
walked up the incline of the forest. He was taking her to the top
of the waterfall. Mary concentrated on climbing. Before long she
felt out of breath. Zeke kept hold of her arm leading her up to the
top.

“
I don’t trust your
wolf
, and
it’s time for you to know how to control your wolf. Some of the
half breeds can’t even wait to the full moon before
turning.”

When they got to the top she looked
down at the water below. “Why are we here?” she asked.

“
It’s time for you to know how to
handle yourself.”

Before she could ask what he meant, he
pushed her over the edge. Screaming, Mary panicked seconds before
she plunged into the water below.

****

Jumping over the edge, Zeke followed her
down. He’d met a half breed in the city, and they’d become close.
During their time together, Zeke asked the man how he’d stopped
himself from the turning. The man had been bitten by a female wolf.
She’d helped him through the change, but she’d been turned out by
her pack for turning a mate.

Zeke didn’t have a problem with
half breeds
,
and he was friends with the young couple. They were not part of his
pack as neither of them wanted to be part of a pack.

The water surrounded
him
, and he
pushed up to the surface, gasping for air. The rush was amazing,
and he knew he’d be coming a lot more to jump over the edge. Mary
screamed out, pushing the hair out of her eyes. Laughing, Zeke
dipped down. The water wasn’t cold as it was turning out to be one
of the hottest Augusts ever. He loved the heat as it meant not many
clothes needed to be worn. The one thing he hated about life in the
city was the fact he had to wear clothes to work. Zeke loved being
naked, and even though he could afford not to go to work, he’d go
insane if he wasn’t kept busy. Working in a busy office kept him
driven and also challenged him with the noises and scents. He’d
fucked plenty of women in his office, and he’d picked them out
because of their response to him.

The scent of a welcoming pussy drove
him insane.

“
What the fuck were you
thinking?” Mary asked, screaming.

He swam over to her, wrapping his arms
around her, laughing. “What a rush.”

“
I could have died.” She
hit him hard. “I’m not some fucking rag doll you can test to see
how much you can do until I break. I’m human!”

Taking hold of her face, Zeke forced
her to look at him. “Is your wolf begging to get out? Are you
struggling to keep the little bitch contained?”

She paused in fighting him.

“
See, she’s not there, is she?
You can think without having to deal with her clawing her way out
of you.” He stared into her eyes knowing what he said was the
truth.

“
How? Only allowing the
change has done that.” She was swimming with him without trying to
get away.

“
You gave your body the same rush
the wolf needs. You’ve put her to bed. I’m not saying it will last,
and I wouldn’t advise jumping off a building onto concrete, but
there are ways and means for you to survive without
turning.”

Mary ran her hand over
her face pushing the
loose strands of hair out of the way.

Staring into her dark brown eyes, Zeke
wanted to see those eyes begging him to fuck her. Taking hold of
her arm, he moved toward the edge and climbed out, picking her up
out of the water. The shirt she wore clung to her curves, showing
off the hard buds of her nipples. What would she taste
like?

No, he wasn’t going to have a taste of her
now. He scented her innocence, and taking her outside wouldn’t be
the best idea he had.

“
It’s time for us to go.” He kept
hold of her arm as he walked back to where his car was parked. Zeke
had planned the attack long ago
, and tonight he’d made sure to hide any scent of
his approach with the fumes from the car. Wolves wouldn’t have
suspected anything from cars. The fumes had given him and his pack
the time to get close before they struck.

Easing her into the passenger
seat, he strapped her inside
before going around to the other side.

“
You drove here in a car?”
she asked.

He didn’t answer her. Zeke felt the
anticipation of what was to come.

She stayed silent, sitting back to look
out of the window. The scent of her innocence was distracting him.
Having a wolf’s scent was not always accurate. At the moment he
couldn’t smell if Mary had been with another man. Usually women
carried the scent of their partner for a long time. Mary had no
other scent beside her own, and it was what drew him to her as
well. She could be innocent because of how different she smelled
from the rest of her pack, or she could even be a virgin. Shit, he
hoped she wasn’t a virgin. What he wanted to do with her was not
for a virgin to know.

“
Is there a man waiting for
you back home?” he asked. It wouldn’t be the first time a woman had
fucked him when there was a man waiting for them.

“
If I had a man I wouldn’t
have agreed to be your toy.” She folded her arms, showing him she
was pissed.

“
You’d be surprised how
many women would have fucked me and then gone back to a human
male,” he said.

“
I’m not one of them. I would
never cheat on a man in my life, ever.” She was silent for several
seconds. “How could I even have a man with my …
condition?”

“
Plenty of women are still out
there enjoying men who have the … condition.” He smiled thinking
about his own condition. There was nothing wrong with being a wolf.
Zeke found being a shifter helped him in his life. The sense of
smell helped and also the fact he could hold his own in a fair
fight. He’d lived with being a wolf his whole life as he was born
into it.

His family had come from a long line
of wolves. Zeke hoped to pass it on like his sisters would when
they had children. Thinking about his sisters made him somber and
reminded him of why he was taking out the other pack.

“
Either way, I wouldn’t have
agreed to be your toy if there was a man waiting for me.” She spoke
the truth
,
and he admired her for it.

Zeke still wasn’t closer to finding
out if she was virgin or not.

“
How many partners have you had?”
he asked.

She turned and glared at him. “It’s
none of your business.”

He moved his way around the road working
past a bend. Zeke wondered what Max had done with Jessica. He
wasn’t worried about the other man hurting Jessica. They were not
monsters, and the girl would be protected.

“
Will I be allowed to use a
phone when we get to wherever you’re taking me?” she
asked.

“
Yes. If you think to call
the police on me then I’ll kill you.”

Mary burst out laughing. “What would I
say? ‘Hey, police officer, I’ve been kidnapped and held against my
will because I wanted to protect a woman from being killed. Also,
I’m part wolf and this is all pack business.’”

Zeke smiled even though he didn’t want
to.

“
I may be a half breed, but I
know the laws. I cannot bring humans into this.” She turned to look
out the window. “I’m alone in this.”

“
Do you know who bit you?” he
asked, changing the subject. He knew she wouldn’t phone the police.
There was no use for the law, and no human would win against a
wolf.

She shook her head. “No. I was
coming out of work
, and there was this dark black dog. At least, I thought it
was a dog, and I didn’t think much of it until I collapsed on the
pavement within minutes of the bite. I thought I was burning from
the inside out.”
