CHAPTER 29

NOAH

The next full moon.

I peeled my eyes open as I woke up and realised that I was lying in bed with Lucas wrapped around me as per usual.

Every morning since moving to the pack, I'd woken up this way. To be honest, I hoped he'd never stop.

Ow. Ow, fuck!

I reached up, feeling a painful toothache. Aches to be more specific. Two on the top and two on the bottom and they really fucking hurt.

Oh shit.

I forgot that it was my first shift that night. Lucas warned me this might happen.

I groaned.

"What's wrong, my little wolf?"

"Your cock poisoned me, that's what," I said grumpily.

Lucas chuckled. "Well, I can't knock you up so, I know it's not that. Are you feeling some aches already?" he asked, sounding way too happy about it for my liking.

"My teeth hurt like a bitch!"

"He's itching to come out. Luna's calling to him," Lucas murmured, kissing my neck.

I sighed. "Great. You did this to me, so you can go fetch me some painkillers."

"Still not a dog, I don't fetch," he chuckled.

"No. You're my werewolf who mated me in the woods and is now causing my teeth to hurt. You owe me. Mate ," I mumbled pitifully.

He squeezed me tighter. "I like the sound of that."

"Of what? That you owe me?"

He didn't mean that.

"No, that I'm your werewolf. Your mate ," he rumbled, nuzzling my neck and licking his mark.

"Painkillers first. Fuck afterwards," I stated.

He leapt out of bed and ran to the bathroom. I'd never seen him move so fast.

And he said he didn't fetch.

I'd have laughed if my teeth didn't feel like I'd been punched in the mouth.

Lucas returned with some pills and a glass of water. I swallowed them down then crawled back under the covers. Lucas slithered under them with me, then rolled on top, grinding his hardness into me as he kissed me.

I guess my wolf coming out tonight was really doing it for him.

Somehow, even with the toothache to end all toothaches, my body still responded to him. It wanted him inside me. Craved him constantly.

Lucas said Luna was a goddess. I thought she was a sorceress. Because what was happening was some bizarre and potent magical shit. Never in my life did I imagine I could feel this way about another person, so completely and utterly enthralled with them. Desperate for their touch, always.

He stopped kissing me and shimmied down my body, pausing to kiss and lick my nipples the way he knew I enjoyed. I started squirming with desire, the toothaches somehow forgotten. Maybe Lucas had magic painkillers too.

Wait.

"What did you give me?"

He paused and looked up. "Huh?"

"Those pills, what were they?"

"Pain relief for a small horse."

"What?!"

"Relax. Our werewolf DNA makes our metabolisms extremely strong and our bodies are resistant to human medication, it's too mild for us. You're perfectly safe, I promise," he reassured and went back to nibbling my nipples then licking his way down south.

He tossed the covers off and lifted my knees, then tongued his way over my balls, along my taint and down to bury his face in my crack where he licked my ass. All conversation about painkillers was forgotten as he used that wicked tongue to do filthy things to my hole.

I'll need to remember to ask for a tutorial after I've learned how to shift.

After he'd turned me into a needy, whimpering mess, he climbed back up over me. I looked down and saw that his cock was glistening. I'd have to ask how to do that dick shifting thing too… I had dreams of taking his ass one day.

After my first shift though, he won't have to do it anymore because apparently, I was going to start getting… ‘slick'. Ugh, I was not looking forward to that part. Walking around with a leaking asshole all the time, yeah, no thanks.

Lucas claimed my mouth in a scorching kiss, pushing all thoughts away as his cock nudged at my backdoor and he slowly sank his length inside me.

I gasped and shuddered with pleasure.

Yep, she's definitely a sorceress. This kind of pleasure was off the charts. More intense and overwhelming than anything I'd ever experienced and it just kept getting better the more we did it.

He began rocking over me, slowly taking me. Sliding the full length of his cock in and out with each thrust. He licked at his mark, just lightly. Not enough to make me come, but enough to send delightful shivers through my body and heighten the experience.

He moaned. "You feel so good, little wolf. I can't believe I get to keep you."

I groaned. The things he says, my god. Talk about make a man feel desired and special.

"I'm yours Lucas, all yours," I murmured, pulling his head down so I could kiss him.

He started moving faster, taking me with powerful thrusts and hitting that spot inside me so perfectly. He was pushing my body close to release.

"Yes, Alpha. Make me come," I pleaded.

He leant down to lick my neck.

"No. Make me come with your cock first. Then with your mark."

He growled and sat up on his heels, gripping my hips to pull me back and forth onto his length with power. It was slamming into my prostate on every thrust and within moments, I was there.

"Fuck, I'm coming!" I cried out as my cock shot all over my chest while Lucas kept relentlessly fucking me through my climax.

He growled, then lay over me and sucked my neck. I started quivering and shaking as he pushed my body to its limits, building me up again only to make me tumble over the edge once more.

My ass fluttered and milked his cock as I came apart again. He growled and I felt his cock erupt inside of me, filling me to the brim with his molten hot wolf seed.

We lay there for a while, tingling with aftershocks of our pleasure and panting for breath.

I lazily trailed my fingers up and down his back, marvelling at the rippling muscles, while he dotted featherlight kisses over my neck and collarbone.

Lucas withdrew and rolled to my side, pulling me close.

"How are your teeth?"

"What teeth?" I mumbled.

He barked out a laugh.

It was about to happen.

After a pack dinner outdoors, we were now waiting for my first shift.

The hunters had caught a deer earlier in the day and Miriam and her team had prepared it. The men built a fire and everyone socialized with drinks and snacks while it was roasting. It was delicious.

Others had enjoyed some drinks with dinner but I opted to stop at one. It was enough to take the edge off my nerves but I wanted to be present and alert for this. I had a feeling I was going to need my wits about me.

Now, the night sky was almost completely dark and the moon was rising. Luna was calling out to me and I could feel it.

I was so incredibly restless. I couldn't stay still and my skin had been itching all day, driving me crazy.

I was in my underwear and surrounded by the pack in wolf form already. Lucas was still human, and naked, waiting until the last minute for me. Normally, I'd be distracted by his nudity and ogling his sexiness, but my mind couldn't summon any will to think about sex.

I'd watched everyone else shift to their wolves so easily but I knew it wouldn't be like that for me. Seeing them all strip down hadn't been as awkward as I'd been expecting but that was because I was so focused on the feeling inside me.

I was kneeling on the ground now, aching all over and waiting. Moaning through the pain.

Lucas looked up at the sky. "Won't be long now, love."

I nodded. Then I felt it, a crippling pain in my back and I cried out. Lucas placed a comforting hand on my shoulder but I couldn't stand it. My skin was crawling.

"Don't touch me. Please."

"Okay," Lucas nodded. He looked so concerned, yet excited. "You're going to be the most beautiful wolf, Noah."

My ankles suddenly felt like they were on fire and I heard cracking. I screamed in pain and it spread from there. My whole body was suddenly overcome in excruciating pain and I heard the most awful, sickening sounds as my body changed.

Midway through, I saw Lucas shift, smooth and seamlessly. I looked forward to that.

I felt my teeth grow, the base of my spine lengthening and my face changing. Things were changing faster than I expected but the pain made it one of those moments that felt like time going in slow motion.

I felt everything. Every break, every growth. The fur sprouting through my skin.

My hearing and sight changed to something spectacular. I could hear things in the far distance and my sight was sharper.

Finally, when it was all over, I felt like I was floating. Or dreaming. I could see the forest through my wolfs eyes and watched like a passenger as I walked over to Lucas. It wasn't me deciding to walk over, it was my wolf.

Lucas licked my neck and rubbed the length of his body along mine. He then tossed his head back and howled.

The pack howled with him. Some of the pack members took off in a run and others were waiting for us.

He nipped at my ankles and pushed me forward. My wolf howled and then I took off.

My wolf knew what to do and ran smoothly. I could feel what he felt. The wind in our fur. The thud of our paws hitting the dirt.

This was what Lucas meant, my inner animal was in charge and I was letting him take over. I was happy to do that for now, I didn't know what to do yet, but he did. I'll learn how to push forward later.

Lucas was running behind me and nipped at my tail, trying to play with me. My wolf yipped and took off even faster, veering away from the pack on our own trail and Lucas was hot on my heels.

I could feel my heart thudding in my chest and I ran as fast as I could. The chase was on and Lucas was determined to catch me. It was a thrill, knowing my mate was hunting for me, trying to catch me so he could claim me again.

I jumped over a fallen log and took a sharp turn, hoping obstacles might slow him down.

They didn't.

We were pretty evenly matched but he was gaining on me, little by little. Then suddenly, a weight came slamming into me from the side, knocking me over and we lost our footing, tumbling together.

I tried to get up but Lucas overpowered me and covered my body with his, holding me down to the ground. His chest rumbled against my back as he let out a pleased growl.

He'd caught his prey and he was going to consume me.

Then I felt it. That slickness he'd told me about. My wolf was enjoying this and I could feel it, that desire for my mate to dominate me. To prove himself worthy and claim me.

He kept me pinned to the ground, then took a deep inhale and his chest rumbled against my back.

"It seems that my mate enjoys the chase. You wanted me to catch you, and now, I'm going to claim my prize," Lucas murmured to me in my mind with a smug and proud tone.

My wolf was still running the show and I didn't know how to communicate back yet.

Lucas shifted slightly lower, then I felt his huge cock glide into me, eased by our combined slickness. He howled and I could feel his pride and joy through our bond. It was stronger now that I had shifted, his emotions coming through louder.

He started rutting, fast and hard. Taking me roughly. My wolf released a purring growl deep in my chest.

I was shocked to discover that fucking as wolves didn't feel weird. It felt good. Really good. I relaxed and enjoyed the animal instinct taking over, submitting to my worthy alpha mate. My body was singing with pleasure.

My cock was hard and leaking on the grass as Lucas' knot began growing inside me and his thrusts became shorter. I was close to the edge, ready to be fully claimed and come with my mate.

Moments later, Lucas howled as he filled me with his seed. The warmth flooded me, then he bit my neck and I came.

It was glorious. I felt so connected to him, even more than I already did. Now that our wolves had mated, I felt complete.

Almost.
