Simply Bound (18+) Sequel

“Alpha Female”

*Meadow*

My wolf was beginning to hold a grudge on me, but now that I and Caleb are running around the island as our primal animals, she is happy and free.

It feels different, I admit, the sand under my paws. It is almost like it gets into every part of my fur; it doesn't bother me, it just feels strange. We run past several palm trees and we reach a small waterfall and dive in; the place is beautiful but is not the same as our magical waterfall, where we went together so many things. I am more than certain that I am ready to go back; I miss my daily simple activities as a Luna, to talk to our people, to visit different locations and give my opinion about what I think we could do to improve our accommodations or simply make things better. Caleb has been the most supportive partner and the most attentive husband.

'A penny for your thoughts...' He whispers to my mind as we both shift to our human forms; my mental walls are getting stronger.

‘I think this place is beautiful…’ I reply, splashing some water his way.

He chuckles and dives in the water, expertly reaching my thighs and squeezing them. When his head comes up for a breath, he kisses my belly and looks straight to my eyes. "Yes, this place is beautiful... almost as beautiful as you are... but is not our home... I have been feeling the same."

I smile and sigh; he stands in front of me and wraps his arms around my back. "Thank you... for this beautiful and dream-like adventure..."

"You are most welcome... and the fact that is not our paradise doesn't mean we can't enjoy it fully..." He grinned as his hands drop slowly to my bottom and I sighed again, this time feeling a heat taking over me.

A part of me felt awkward and uncomfortable when he gave me more intimate attentions, but another part of me felt alive and wanted as well. I struggled strongly between this duality of emotions, watching my own reflection in the water or the mirror, my physical shape so different. He assured me I was beautiful to his eyes, and I believe him, but I just can't think of myself as a s****l person while I see myself as a life vessel.

This internal battle was constant, but today, the part of me that felt on fire under his touch, won. I kiss him with passion and slide my hands down his back, digging my nails into his skin as he lifts me up slightly and forces my legs apart; I wrap them around his waist and I feel his hardening emotions rub against my intimacy, and under the water we become one. Nature is a witness of the passion we feel for each other; there is only fire in our veins as we grind our bodies together, and I bite his shoulder while I sink my nails harder on his skin. My moans echo through the trees as he grunts his release into my core.

After an hour of cuddling in the grass, at the edge of the inner river of the island, we decide to return. I am not sure how to look at Aeneas' brother after what happened, and we discussed with Caleb if it might be wise to just leave the place for them both until everything is clear. Yet, when we arrive at the cabin, I sense some tension and an aura of chaos surrounding the place.

Caleb stands in front of me protectively while Aeneas comes out sighing with frustration. He looks at me and then at Caleb and shakes his head. "This might take longer than I expected... he is a complete idiot..."

Just as he finishes his sentence we hear an inhuman growl coming from the inside. Caleb looks back at me and rests his both hands on my face. "If it comes to our bond being interrupted again, I might become... 'it'... when that happens... I want you to run away from here... I will find you when it's over..."

I frowned, he was being serious yet I didn't consider running away from him was out of the question. "I won't... and we are going in together..."

He frowned but I didn't care, I was never the kind of women who would defy her partner often; most of the times we were a duet in everything. But now, I didn't consider his decision to be wise, and I firmly pushed him to the side as he stared at me.

I walked into the cabin and by the time he realized what I wanted to do, I was already in. I follow the loud grunt and quickly locate its origin. At the living room, Cyrus is being strangled by a dark rope. He looks directly at me when I enter the room, and he stops moving as I walk directly to him.

I don't know what takes over me; since I became pregnant, my behavior has become more aggressive without warning, was it protectiveness? Feral maternal instinct? Or perhaps, just hormones.

Once I stand in front of him, I slap him with all I've got. Caleb runs to my side and holds my hand from hitting him again. Fine, if he wants to stop me that is ok, but he won't hold my tongue. "Can you tell me... how on this earth are you planning to 'win' me and make me your partner for eternity... if you break in and try to hurt my actual partner?"

His eyes grow wide, and I hear Aeneas laugh somewhere in the room. I frown but don't bother to look at him, my eyes are locked on Cyrus. He still doesn't reply to my question and I feel Caleb's arms wrap gently around me from behind. "Love... relax, please..."

"Answer me... Cyrus." My voice is calmer but firm.

He blinks a couple of times before he tries to talk. "I... you belong to me..."

I feel Caleb's arms tense, but he doesn't move nor says anything. He knows I am too angry for him to add fuel to the situation. "And you are a monster, right?"

He frowns and shakes his head. "I am not a monster!"

"You are a monster if you plan to come 'claim' me because you believe I belong to you... you are a monster if you are not giving me a chance to choose... you are a monster if you plan to make me yours without even thinking about my desires... Cornelius was nothing compared to you..."

'Love...' I hear Caleb mentally and I feel my rage vanish almost instantly. Cyrus remains quiet and still, he doesn't even blink anymore while I close my eyes and turn around to face my one and only love.

"I am ready to go home, to our pack..." I mention to him loud enough for Cyrus to hear, and Caleb nods, leaning to kiss my lips softly.

This honeymoon had everything I ever dream for and more. Including crazy adventures, crazy people and old friends. I look forward to returning to the city in the morning, meet my old boss, and visit my mother, so that by the end of the week, we could be sleeping in our pack's lands.

Caleb holds me tightly as he growls threateningly at Cyrus. “She is not ‘mine’... I learned that through time… we belong together, and that is something beyond your understanding vampire…” His words making me shiver. “Even after I knew she was the one for me, I took my time to get to know her and make her fall in love… that is how you win your soulmate… you have so much to learn, you should start listening to your brother for a change.” And with that, he gently leads me back to our room.

I see Aeneas chuckle while we walk pass by him, in other circumstances I would elbow him or tell him something, but right now I wanted to leave him and his brother behind.

*Caleb*

There is not much I can do when she becomes this alpha female, and I have to be honest, I really like watching her stand up for us, for our children, for our family. She has given me a good balance, and I feel her as an equal, now more than ever.

After we lay together in our bed, I pick up my phone and fast dial my contact. He picks up at the third ring. “I will need the boat by 7 am, and another week on the island for some friends who are staying longer. Send the bill to me.”

I cut the call and lean to kiss her lips as she smiles and takes several deep breaths. “We could just kick them, you know.” She teases and I laugh.

“Just say the words and I will.” I whisper as my lips brush hers.

“No… perhaps all Cyrus needs is time and some good spankings. The last one, by his brother.” She mentions and I chuckle.

“Spanking? That is a new one… what have you been reading now?” I grin and she blushes. Lately, she has been changing moods quickly, depending on what she read in a book or watched in the television. Even though at first it was confusing, now it is entertaining.

We kiss and hold on tight to one another as we decide to stay in bed and wait for the day to come to an end. A new world awaits for the both of us once we return.
