I opened my eyes, and it was dark. Realizing that I was still on Zaff’s bed, I sat up and saw Zaff sleeping soundly next to me, his massive arm thrown over my leg.
My heart pounding hard, I realized that it was midnight according to his glowing clock and that I had overstayed my welcome.
I had to go back home, and my aunt was probably worried sick.
Quickly lifting his hand off my thigh, I struggled with how heavy his arm was. It was like he was made of steel, definitely an alpha werewolf. I enjoyed his hand and especially his knot, but it was time to call it a night.
Turning the doorknob, I left his room and sprinted down the hallway. I went into my room and quickly changed into my original beach dress, which was ruined from the sand. I had nothing else but the lingerie to wear, but I couldn’t let my aunt see me scantily clad. Grabbing my phone from my purse, I saw messages and voicemails from my aunt that I had missed.
Fuck.
I sent a quick text that I’d be home soon and apologized that I had to work late. Aunt Julie was probably sleeping by now, but I sent the text for my peace of mind. I’ve never done this before, even as a teenager, since I was too frightened to navigate dating life amongst humans.
The entire mansion was dark, and walking down the staircase was treacherous since it creaked with every step. Making a beeline for the door, I realized the doorman was also gone for the night, as were the rest of the staff.
Unlocking the heavy doors was a task, but I managed to get out, and I gently closed the doors behind me. I was nervous about being outside this late, but it was scarier to stay the night at a house with alphas who barely knew me.
The night air woke me up fully, and I walked towards the path that led down the road. It was a long, winding path, and it was creepy in the dark. The owls hooted in the night, and the leaves rustled in the wind around me. Every second of walking down this path freaked me out, but I had to catch the last bus for the night, which would be arriving soon.
After finally making it through the path of darkness and gloom, I finally came upon the road. There weren’t any cars out this late at night, and I saw only one other person sitting at the bus stop, hunched and wearing a dirty baseball cap.
I stood a little bit away from him as I waited eagerly for the bus.
“Miss,” he said, standing up and walking towards me.
Oh, come on. Not now, I thought. I couldn’t deal with the creeps right now. I just wanted to go home and sleep in for my off day.
“Yes?” I said, turning to the guy with the dirty baseball cap. He was holding out a cardboard with a watch on it, which I was sure was covered in fake gems.
“Would you be interested in buying one of these? Best quality, and you won’t find it anywhere else,” he said, grunting out his words like it was hard to talk. His eyes were cloudy, and he looked like he wasn’t in his right mind.
“No, thank you,” I said as politely as possible to preserve my life. I was alone with this man and if I made him mad, he could do anything to me.
“It’s only ten dollars,” he persisted, walking closer, and I slowly backed away.
“No, it’s okay,” I said. “Thank you, though.”
“Are you sure? You look so pretty, and you’ll look even prettier wearing one of these beauties,” he said.
“Yes, I’m sure,” I said again, wondering when this dude would get the message and stop. But my answer seemed to enrage him, to my dismay.
“You think you’re all that, huh?”
“No…I’m just not interested.”
“Women these days are too much,” he said. “Why are you backing away from me? Are you accusing me of something?”
“No,” I said, dread going down my stomach. He was a difficult one. “I’m just not interested.”
“Are you scared that I might hurt you? Not all men are the same,” he said, getting even closer, and his breath smelled rank. His teeth were dirty yellow. “But you know what? Maybe I should do it. I haven’t had pussy in a long time.”
Fear gripped me as to how fast this escalated. This guy wasn’t right in the head, and it was either run off into the darkness, with him chasing me, or waiting for the bus to come and get assaulted right here.
A sudden low growl sounded from behind the man.
He turned, and whatever he saw made him drop everything in his hands. The watch fell to the floor, splitting into a million different pieces.
“Fuck,” he shouted, running off and revealing the werewolf growling right behind him. Fear struck me as well, and I quickly tried to back away, but when the man disappeared around the corner, the werewolf stopped growling.
But as I stared at him, I recognized his deep brown eyes.
It had to be Oscar who had shifted into his alpha wolf form. It was a feeling inside me that I knew right away and couldn’t shake off.
The werewolf, sensing my relief, came towards me and lowered himself to my feet, waiting for me to climb on.
“No, it’s okay,” I said. “I’m waiting for the bus so I can go home.”
The werewolf nudged my ankle to get on his back, and I rolled my eyes as I climbed over him. In the next second, he bounded across the road and back towards the house. I clung to his neck for dear life as my purse wobbled at my side and the wind slapped my face.
It felt adventurous, and for some reason, I felt safe being with him. It was a normal thing to see werewolves prowling around when I used to live back at home with my family. Feelings were starting to grow on my part for these alphas, and it was happening too quickly because the thought of going back to them felt amazing.
It was like a high that I couldn’t explain.
But I had to reign in the feelings quick because, eventually, they would need an omega at the end. An omega to bear them all the babies they wanted.
I didn’t fit their criteria at all. I didn’t belong.
When we reached the house, Oscar wasn’t happy with me when he shifted back into his alpha form. We stood in front of the door, not going inside yet until I could hear a piece of his mind.
He didn’t have a stitch of clothing on, and it was hard not to stare at his muscled thighs and huge penis as he breathed heavily.
“Why did you leave?” he asked. “You could’ve gotten yourself killed!”
“Because I overstayed my welcome,” I said. “It’s nighttime, and I should have been at home. Thank you for saving my life, though.”
He shook his head in disappointment. “No need to thank me. Our pack leader has knotted you, and we’ve all touched you. You can stay as long as you want, and in fact, you deserve much more.”
My eyes widened in surprise. I was simply a human to them, but was I getting omega treatment? Suddenly, I felt sick to my stomach that I’d tricked them all into thinking I was human.
“But at the end, you’ll just end up with…,” I started to say and clamped a hand over my mouth to keep from talking more. If he knew I knew about omegas, my ruse was entirely over.
“With…?” he asked, staring darkly at me and waiting for me to speak.
Shit, he was quick.
“Werewolves like you,” I finished lamely.
“Come, let’s get you inside and warmed up,” he said briskly, taking me by the hand into the house. I didn’t have much of a choice now and figured I’d have to stay the night when we entered the maid’s room.
I stood there waiting for him to leave, but instead, he lay on my bed fully naked.
“What are you doing?” I asked, but my mind was racing a mile a minute. Did he want to knot me at this very moment?
“Making sure you’re safe,” he said, crossing his arms over his midsection but not covering his clear erection. “Go ahead and get comfortable.”
Realizing there was no choice at all now, I sighed and dropped my purse into the closet after sending a quick text to my aunt that I’d see her tomorrow. There wasn’t a text from her, so I figured she was definitely sleeping.
“Fine,” I said, walking to the bed after I stripped off my shoes, leggings, and shirt. I only wore a bra and underwear, but I wasn’t as self-conscious as I used to be around them.
I pulled the sheets over me, but I could feel the heat from his body. After a few minutes, he slipped under the sheets as well. My heart raced as he scooted towards me, bringing his body to mine as he spooned me. His skin on mine felt wonderful, setting every inch of me ablaze.
He put his arm around my waist and cupped my breast, to my shock. I still needed to get used to these alphas touching me whenever they wanted, according to the contract.
I placed my hand over his, breathing hard as the throbbing in my heated center increased.
“I need you,” he whispered in the dark.
Oh, my goodness.
“Right now?”
“Yes. Lay on your belly.”
My heart skipped a beat, and I turned onto my stomach, horny as hell of what was about to come. Oscar never messed around, and when he needed it, it was going to happen.
The first sensation I felt was his beard brushing against my neck sensually as he kissed the back of my shoulders and across my back. Suddenly, he ripped my underwear down my thighs until it dangled off my right ankle. I could hardly breathe as he leaned his body weight on top of me, pressing me down onto the mattress.
His hairy chest rubbed against my back as he breathed in my ear.
“Am I too heavy?” he asked gruffly.
“It’s okay, I like it,” I gasped out between breaths, feeling the sensation of the bed rubbing against my pussy. The feeling was causing me to get even hornier.
Then he suddenly spread my thighs apart with his knee.
