The Merciless Alpha(erotica)

“Hi Talia. I just talked to Alpha Brent. He got a name out of Beta Jack.” He told her the details.

“Thanks, Dad. I’ll see what my mate knows about it, and get Eduardo looking. The man is a whiz with computers.”

“He’s your next target?”

“He is. We take down the training complex, then find the customer list. Tell Tania we’ll get these bastards.”

I smiled. “I know you will, Sis. I love you.”

“I love you too. We’ll see you late tonight.”

Our business done, we walked to the home of Mildred Childress, one of the Pack Elders and historian. She had told us at breakfast that she needed to talk with us, but not why. Her home was small, with flowers out front and a wide porch with a pair of rocking chairs. She was bringing out a tray with homemade lemonade as we arrived, since Bobby must have warned her over the link. “Elder Mildred,” Bobby said with a bow of his head as we got to the stairs.

“Bobby, bring that girl up here and sit her down,” she said with a smile. “Go inside and get a chair for yourself unless you want to stand.”

He smirked, then sat down and pulled me into his lap. Mildred huffed, then sat down and offered me a glass. “I’ve been looking into what happened to you since I heard you were coming,” she said. “Giving up your wolf happens sometimes, having your wolf taken is quite different. I wanted to know if it was possible to get your wolf back.”

“It’s not,” I said. “It’s never happened.”

“Oh, these young people don’t know their history,” she said with a wave. “It can happen, it’s just that the circumstances allowing it rarely happen. I talked to my friends in other Packs, and Natasha in Kiev found something in her Pack archives. It was a case, like yours, where a young woman had been captured and was forced to drink wolfsbane to kill her wolf. The attacking Pack killed the wolves of all their captives, thinking they would destroy the Pack forever.”

“That’s horrible,” I said.

“This happened in the fourth century. It’s written down because she got her wolf back.”

“How?” I leaned forward, hope suddenly there.

“She found her mate.”

Tania’s POV

My jaw dropped open. “Wait a minute, how can a mate return her wolf?”

“Our wolves are given to us by Luna herself, but how do wolves recognize their mate,” she asked.

“By smell,” Bobby said. “As soon as I scented her clothing, I knew she was mine.”

“But why? Why does her scent call to you? How do you KNOW it is your mate?”

I thought about it. “I don’t know, we were always taught that our mates’ scent would be recognized by our wolf. We talked more about what happened AFTER you found him than anything else.”

“True, because we still have rules regarding mating, and it is important mates are respected. There are theories as to how we know our mate’s scent, but I believe it is because we share a part of them.” I squeezed his hand and looked at him. “Most Packs teach that you are born with two parts to your soul, your human and your wolf parts, right?”

“Yes, of course.”

“Yet we find some who have human mates, and they give them their wolf in mating?”

“True.”

“Others do not find their mates, they choose another wolf or a human. They can change a human, but the mating is never the same as with a fated mate. There is a bond, but it isn’t as deep or as satisfying as those with true mates. There have been multiple studies on this over the years; choice mates are not as happy as true mates, but we’ve always assumed it was because they knew they abandoned a true mate out there somewhere.”

“It makes sense, my parents stressed the importance of waiting for your true mate. It’s why when the Council tried to push Talia to mate Alpha Todd to unify the Pack, she refused.” I laughed. “Well, that and he was more than twice her age and a major-league asshole.”

“I’d like to give you another theory, one that I think fits the data better. I believe we are born as werewolves with three parts to our soul, two major and one fragment. The fragment is a piece of our fated mate’s soul.”

Bobby caught on first. “So when you meet your fate mate…”

“Your wolf recognizes the soul of his mate that is already with him. In essence you find what you are missing, and the mating unites the pieces in both of you.”

I looked over at Bobby, it was a more romantic way to think of it. “So Bobby has a piece of my wolf soul in him?”

“I believe so. Being able to change someone with no wolf proves you can transfer a part of a wolf soul, even if it is your own. The example I found proved it is possible to transfer a wolf soul of your true mate and give her that back.”

“Why can’t anyone bite me? All the doctors said it wouldn’t matter.”

She shook her head. “I can’t tell you for sure. Maybe the wolf soul recognizes someone else should be there. Maybe the hole in your soul cannot be filled by a different soul.” She finished her glass. “I believe that when you take a choice mate, the rejected soul is pushed out and dies. That is why no one has ever found a fated mate after they have mated another. It’s all my theory, backed up by history and lore. There’s only one way for you to find out, and you’re bound to do it anyway.”

I nodded. “We need to complete the mating.”

“Yes. Worst case, I’m wrong and you stay human, and he stays your mate. You can have the best life you can, given the differences in your lifespans. Best case, he gives you your wolf soul back and it fits like the last piece in the puzzle, because it belongs there.”

“Will it be enough?” I didn’t want to get my hopes up and have them dashed again.

“How much is one percent of infinity, Tania? One thousandth? If your soul is boundless, so is a piece of it. Whatever Luna wills, may it come to be.” She took the empty lemonade glass back from me. “Now scoot, you two. You have better things to do than listen to an old lady rambling.”

Bobby shifted under me, the talk of mating had gotten him excited and I could feel him pressing it into my thighs. “I can think of a few things we can do,” he said as he waggled his eyes.

“When I’m ready,” I said. “I’m human now, you can’t just fall back on the bond to get what you want. You have to use romance, you have to date me, seduce me and love me.”

“No problem,” he said. “Any plans for lunch?”

“Why sir, are you asking me on a date?”

“I am. I was thinking a picnic by the waterfall. I’ll have the kitchen pack some food for us.”

I smiled, I loved that place. “I would love to picnic with you.” I stood up and leaned down and gave Mildred a hug. “Thank you for looking into this for me, you’ve given me hope again,” I said.

“Love finds a way, Tania. It always does.”

Bobby thanked her, and we held hands as we walked back to the Pack House. He must have linked the kitchen, because a basket filled with food and drink was waiting for us. Another bag contained towels and a blanket. “We’re taking my truck this time,” he said as he grabbed the stuff. We loaded up and took the dirt road away from the Pack House, stopping at a small parking lot. “It’s not far from here,” he said.

The noon heat was oppressive, and my clothes were soaked by the time we got there. He set the supplies in the shade on a rock. “Swim first,” I said. He agreed, and we stripped off our clothes. I knew what to expect this time when we jumped into the pool together. It was a shock, then as we got used to it, it was better. We didn’t swim long, pulling ourselves out on a rock to dry off. We stayed nude, it was cooler that way. He laid the blanket down on a patch of grass and moss in the shade, then we sat and ate. The kitchen had made Italian sandwiches with pasta salad, fruit and cookies. “That was excellent,” I said as I finished. I gathered the stuff and put it back in the basket, bending over with my back to him. I might even have wiggled a little, knowing from the little growls he let out that I was pushing him.

I turned around and walked towards him. He was looking at me, his wolf forward, eyes black with lust. I straddled his legs, lowering myself until I was sitting in his lap with my hands around his neck. “Bobby,” I asked quietly. “I want you to mate me.”

“Are you sure? I can wait until you are ready. I don’t want to hurt you or set back your recovery.”

“I was thinking on the way here about how messed up my view of sex is. I’ve never had sex with someone I loved, and often the sex hurt me. You I love, and I know deep down you won’t hurt me. I need to replace the nightmare with the dream, love. I need you to claim me, make me yours. Mate me, big boy.”

His eyes lit up and a huge smile spread on his face. “I love you, Tania. I’ll make this good for you, just tell me if it is too much and I need to stop. I won’t be mad.” He wrapped his arms around me and kissed me, our tongues exploring each other as his hands moved over me. I wrapped my legs around his waist, my sex rubbing against his hard cock beneath me. I moaned in pleasure as I rubbed him. “So beautiful,” he said as he started kissing down my neck to his mark.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

He laid me back, holding my wrists in one hand over my head as his other explored my body. I moaned loudly as his mouth sucked on a nipple then gently bit it. It was like an electric shock went down my body to my sex, which was opening and preparing for him. He moved his fingers through my lips, spreading the juices around. I was building quickly, and when he hooked two fingers and found that spot on the top I broke. “BOBBYYYYYYYY!”
