Romeo Alpha BBW Paranormal Shifter Romance Series - Books 1 to 4

Chapter Two-2

“Okay, let me get this straight. You are saying that you and your family are from this line and can turn into wolves on a full moon? Really, come on, do I look dumb?” She stood up, ready to get out of there.

“No, it isn't just us. It's you as well. Now, sit, so I can tell you about your parents.” He remained firm.

Amanda looked at him like he had grown two heads. “What if I just try to leave? What will you do then?” She stood with her hands on her hips, mirroring his attitude earlier.

“I will stop you, and if you do figure out a way to leave, I will find you and bring you back,” he replied simply with a smile. “Your parents were part of the community as well, Amanda. Now, please sit.” He waved his arm.

“My parents?” She looked at Romeo with wonder as she realized that he was being completely serious. Either he was really clinically insane, or she was dreaming. This was the stuff nightmares were made of. It wasn’t real. It couldn't be.

“Yes, if a wolf male beds a wolf female, their children transform. But if a wolf male beds a human woman, then the male children Change, but the female children become breeders only. Your father was a male wolf, and your mother was a human.”

“You mean I am a breeder? So what is my job; to lie on my back and sleep with every wolf man? Have you lost your damn mind?” It was becoming too much for her to handle. If she pinched herself, would she wake up in her own bed?

“On the contrary; nobody will be sharing your bed, Amanda, but me.”

Determination lined his face. This man really was crazy.

“So I am in danger from the crazy-a*s man sitting beside me.” She rose quickly and turned to leave, but she didn’t get far. Suddenly, he was in front of her, his arms were wrapped around her waist and he had pulled her to him. If it wasn’t for her hands on his chest to keep her distance, they would have been flush against each other.

She could feel the steady beat of his heart under her right hand and looked up into his face, fuming. “What will you do; force yourself on me?”

“There will be no forcing. You will come to me of your own will. That, I can promise you.” His eyes held many meanings as he stared down at her.

“So, you are the one I must run from then.” Her breathing was rapid and shallow as she tried to catch her breath. For some reason, it had become increasingly hard to breath around him.

“No, there are others who have found you, and believe me; they would have no problem tossing you from one to the other till you were with child. Our community cherishes our women, we don’t a***e them. You could be in worse hands. Also, since your father was part of a royal blood line in another community, you will be with the alpha of ours. Me!” He spoke the last part like a roar.

Yes, she could see him as the alpha; captain of the football team, star athlete and royal pain in the a*s. She had to get away. But first, she was curious. “How do you know who I am, and how do you know I am part werewolf?”

He grinned. “We have been watching you since your parents’ death. Your father was a good friend of my father, and he entrusted your welfare to him. Second, I know you are part werewolf because I can smell you.”

She didn’t have time to think before his lips descended to hers. His lips were soft and warm. His hands squeezed her waist. At her gasp, he took the advantage and slipped his tongue inside her mouth.

He explored the recesses of her mouth, and she couldn’t help the groan as he pulled her even closer. Her arms wrapped around his neck on their own, and soon she was kissing him back. His hands ran up and down her back to slowly curve under her a*s. He hoisted her up against him, and she felt his hardness against her pelvic bone.

Suddenly, a loud knock sounded at the door. He pulled his lips away and looked down at her as he sat her back on the floor. “We will finish this later,” he said with promise in his eyes.

She felt the blush spread from her face down her chest. “That will never happen again,” she said as she stepped back.

He just grinned at her and turned to open the door. “We will see, little one.”

She had barely contained her composure before two girls walked into the room. They were about eighteen and gorgeous. Both wore radiant smiles. She could tell by the look of love that he sent their way that these must be the youngest two members of the family; the twins Aurora and Audri.

The light-haired girl rushed to her, bubbling with excitement. The dark-haired girl slowly followed her. “Oh, finally we get a sister. I am so excited. You will love the family and Romeo, even though he is a little overbearing sometimes.”

“Yeah, and he is way too overprotective. You know, I have to take someone with me to sit outside when I go to college. It’s so annoying like we can’t take care of ourselves,” the dark-haired one complained.

Romeo shook his head. “It’s for your own good. Now help her get settled in. I’m going to go check the guard. None of you go anywhere until I return. Understood? Joseph will be back shortly.” He walked through the door without waiting for their response.

Amanda opened the door to see if she could get away, and he turned to look straight at her with a stern look. Suddenly, the other brother was beside him. She turned around and slammed the door with frustration. He had to be the most cocky and arrogant man she had ever met. She turned to see both women looking at her with sadness in their eyes.

“Come,” the dark-haired one offered. “We will help you and fix some tea.”

She walked toward the twins and realized she hadn’t gone to the store yet, so there was no tea. They walked into the little kitchen, and she instructed them to take a seat at the little round table.

As she opened cabinets and the refrigerator, she noticed it was already stocked full. As the dark-haired one put on a tea kettle with water and pulled pastries from the cabinet, the light-haired one sat down across from Amanda.

“My name is Aurora, and this is my twin sister, Audri.” Aurora had light brown hair that reached down her back almost to her waist in little ringlets. She had light blue eyes like Romeo and dimples. You could tell she was the talkative and bubbly one of the two.

Audri had dark brown, almost black hair, which lay straight as an arrow down her back to her waist. Her eyes were dark blue. She had sharper features and seemed to be more cautious than her sister. She also looked like the one to take control. They both stood about her height with petite figures and features.

Audri handed Amanda a cup and set one down in front of her sister. She went back to the counter to pick up her own and came to sit on the other side. They sat in silence for little bit.

Amanda finally started asking questions. She wanted to know everything. If what Romeo said was true, then her whole world had just turned upside down. Everything she’d believed her whole life was a lie.

She found out that her father had made a trip to the mountains the night her parents were killed. Her father had spoken to Jeremiah, the twins' father, that day, telling him about Amanda and everything that had been going on in their lives. That was the day her fate and life were sealed. Why, she didn’t know, but the two older men pledged the marriage between her and Romeo.

Audri stated that their father had kept watch over her through college and always watched her, no matter where she was or what she was doing. They had to wait until she turned twenty-four, which was the age that a breeder would come into full bloom. Amanda had just turned twenty-four a week ago.

“I can’t believe that people have watched me for so long and none of you ever told me about my family. What about my aunt? Did she not care enough to tell me who she was? Did she even come to my father’s funeral?”

“Look, your aunt was a good woman,” Audri snapped. “She mourned the loss of your father from her life not once, but twice. The first was when he ran, and the second time was in his death. You cannot imagine what she went through to keep the other packs from your father and mother. Unfortunately, she gave her life in that battle, and due to that, our community has lost a good woman who stood for values and honor.”

Aurora reached over and squeezed Amanda’s hand. “I understand it is a lot to take in, and I understand that Romeo can be a little dominating, but maybe you should think about the full picture. Do you understand the dangers that she faced for your family, and what my father and our family are now facing to abide by your father’s wishes?

“Your father was a good man and an important one,” Audri continued, standing up and fairly quivering with anger. “The others know this. There are some who may just want to breed you for his bloodline. There are others who would t*****e and kill you just because he was an enemy. To kill off one's bloodline is the ultimate revenge. Many would have no problem screwing you and tossing you to the next wolf. My brother is not like that and forbids any of his brothers and the men in the community to even touch you. You will be his wife and bear his children. If not for your own good and welfare, then do it for the memory of your father and aunt and for the safety of my family.” Audri stormed out the front door, almost colliding with Joseph on the way.

The smile on Joseph’s face died as he looked at her angry features and Amanda’s shell-shocked ones.

“Oh heavens, Audri, what did you say now, you little minx?”

“I told her the truth, since everyone else around here wants to walk on egg shells, including father and Romeo.” Audri turned and stalked away.

Amanda tried to register everything Audri had just told her.

Aurora squeezed her hand again. “I know it is hard to take in all at once. But she is right. Your father was a very good man, and we would be proud to have you in the family. But it has to be your choice. Although, he is brooding sometimes, Romeo is a very good and honorable man. And I have heard that he's not too bad in the sack either.” She grinned, playfully.

“Oh, Lord. I’m not sitting here listening to you two talk about s*x. Romeo would skin me alive. I will be on the porch if you need me.” Joseph scrunched up his face and left.

They both laughed outright, and for the first time since beginning the strange adventure, Amanda felt at ease.

“But I don’t even know him. How do I pledge to spend the rest of my life with him?” Amanda asked in confusion.

“You will learn to know him. You will also learn our ways and my sister and I will teach you everything there is to know. Also, my father is quite anxious to meet the daughter of his best friend. Although, he has watched you in the distance and talked to you a few times, you would not even know it was him. He will come to see you tomorrow morning. Tonight will be a big night for you.”

“Tonight! You mean this is to happen tonight? What if I can’t? What if I don’t want to?” Amanda asked, standing.

“Then, you will still be able to be taken by the other communities, and if they succeed in taking you away, then there is nothing my brother or my family can do. Once you are married, you are untouchable. Although, there are rebel groups who would still try to kidnap you, the majority of the communities will back off. It is for your safety that this must happen before the new moon.”

“How do I know that what you say is the truth? This could just be a ruse.” Amanda wanted reassurance of some kind, although she knew deep down what the young girl said to her was actually nothing but the truth.

“You will share each other’s bed tonight, but you will not be married until after the new moon, when you can see for yourself the members of the community who can turn to their other form. This will give you the proof you need.”

It sounded simple enough, but was her fate really so sealed?

“Then, why must we sleep together tonight?”

“It is Romeo’s wish to have you conceive as quickly as possible. Even if you are not married but you carry another wolf’s child, then you are also untouchable. But as soon as you deliver, you are free game again, unless you are married,” Aurora explained.

“I think I am going to go take a shower and lay down. It has been a long day.” Amanda needed to be alone and think. What in the world was her life turning into? She thought of Romeo and instantly felt warm all over. Although he was an overbearing pain in the a*s, she had to admit that she was extremely attracted to him. He had the body of a god, and she instantly thought of herself. She felt frumpy compared to the two younger women, who had bodies that men would drool over with just a glance. She just couldn’t get n***d with Romeo. She wasn’t alpha material.

“Yes. I know you are very tired, dear. You go get some sleep and we will talk some more again later.” Audri rose, taking both cups to the sink. “And I am glad you are going to be my sister, Amanda. I have heard great things about you and know we will become fast friends.” She smiled as she walked out the front door.
