Necessity

Don't Let Your Guard Down

I spent all day preparing food and decorations. I had decided to have the party in a large warehouse that I turned into a pool house/night club. The men would love to drink beer and play pool while the women danced the night away. I was finishing up the details for his party tomorrow night and hoping no one gave away any details about the event.

  Everything else was normal. We trained and had a few meetings with other pack leaders. There were actually two births I had to attend today. Nightfall came and we headed to bed like usual. It was around 3 am when we heard howls in the distance and Matt called James to tell him there might be rogues in the area. James shot up from our bed and told me to go to Lisa. We have practiced enough drills that I knew what I had to do. Lisa and I had to protect ourselves, it was selfish but if we were hurt or worse the men couldn't protect the pack. I hated running and hiding but sometimes it was necessary. I ran towards the packhouse where I sensed Lisa.

"Lisa," I called out. She came running towards me. "We're okay."

"Did you hear it, it sounded like a lot of them," she said sounding so frightened.

"I'm here and I won't let anyone hurt you," I reassured her. "Come on, let's go find somewhere to sit."

Suddenly, the lights went off. It was pitch black but it's not like we couldn't see clearly but it did make the situation seem a bit more serious. As if we were in a horror film, Lisa clung on to my arm and I tried to walk slowly into the other room. Every time we heard a creak or felt the wind pass by us we jumped. Talk about two strong she-wolves, but this situation was freaky, to say the least. I felt a presence by the back door. I didn't want to freak out Lisa but I had to make sure if it was friend or foe. The scent was faint and unfamiliar but it's not like I knew everyone's scent from our pack.

"Stay here," I told Lisa. She looked nervous and it took her a moment to let go of my arm. I walked towards the back door and saw a wounded grey wolf. My instincts failed me. I wanted to help it but I also wanted to attack it for stepping into my home, my land. I opened the sliding door slowly and I saw it raise its head. He looked into my eyes and seemed to be pleading for my empathy. I decided to walk slowly to him, hoping it wasn't trying to fool me and suddenly attack me. I was inches away from him and I noticed where he was bitten. He was bleeding a lot. I knew if he was one of the rogues stepping into other wolves territories, James wouldn't be keen on protecting and caring for him. From the bushes to our left, I heard a rustling sound and then a brown wolf appeared. His eyes were fixated on the wounded wolf. I wanted to shift but had no time. He pounced on the wounded wolf and from the corner of my eyes, I saw Lisa. I ran towards her and tried to grab her so I could lead her back inside. The brown wolf turned his attention to us and I told Lisa to run inside. He wanted to chase us so I decided to run towards the forest while Lisa ran back inside.

"Lock the doors Lisa, and do not move," I yelled to her. The brown wolf chased me into the forest. I was running so fast my arm was scraped by a branch. It cut me on my forearm and left a nasty cut. I decided I had enough and was ready to shift. I heard howling roaring towards us and before I could shift I saw the white wolf. He was looking at the brown wolf with murderous eyes. He had been chasing his mate and his mate was hurt and bleeding. James pounced and leaped onto the brown wolf. He sunk his sharp teeth into his neck and bit until the brown wolf was lifeless. I fell to the ground out of exhaustion and relief. As well trained as I am in fighting. I very much disliked any form of violence. I knew I could never avoid it but it always seemed wrong to take another's life. James let the wolf drop to the ground and motioned for me to get up. I stayed on the ground though. He then shifted back to his human form and one of his men ran inside to get him some clothes. He got dressed as fast as he could and then kneeled down to look at my wound.

"You okay?" he asked. I just nodded. "Aria, please, say something."

"I'm fine, I just," I tried to speak but my mind went to the grey wolf. "The other one is dead too?" James nodded and gently picked me up and took me back to our home.

"So, was it the same rogues," I asked James.

"We think so, tomorrow I will have a meeting with the other alphas that had to deal with these mongrels," he explained. I was worried about his party but it was a distant thought right now.

"That wolf he was after, who was he?" I asked.

"I'm not sure but I will find out," James reassured me.

"Thank you," I said softly. He kissed me slowly and then noticed my scratch again.

"f**k, I hate that you were hurt," he grunted.

"It was just from a branch, I would have handled myself if needed," I told him.

"I know but still," he paused. "You're my world." I kissed him with more desire and need. He cleaned my wound and covered it with a bandage.

"It's not like I won't heal fast," I laughed.

"Hush, let me take care of you," he demanded. I placed my hand on his thigh and then let it roam over his lap. I pulled his c**k out of his pants and began to stroke it slowly. He groaned and cursed. I wanted to get my mind off of tonight and I bet he did too. I moved my hand up and down faster and then dropped to my knees so I could have better access. I licked the tip and I knew he wanted more. I slipped it all into my mouth and sucked on his member like it was a lollipop. He pushed my head down a bit making sure I got as much of him inside of my mouth. I could feel him getting bigger and restless to have me. He lifted me so effortlessly and sat me on his c**k. I slid down with easy and he held on to my waist to help me move faster on him.

"f**k, Aria!" he shouted. "You're going to drive me crazy." He placed kisses all over my chest and neck. As we both reached our climax he roughly pulled my hair causing my head to pull back. I collapsed on his chest and was now ready for bed. He picked me up and gently placed me on the bed and came behind me to hold me.

The next day, James woke up before me. He left me a note saying he was visiting with alpha Simon. I tried not to worry but I also wanted to enjoy tonight. I asked Simon to come to his party so I decided to text him and let me know how long their meeting would take. He never answered me so I was getting worried. I decided to go ahead and get everything ready anyways. I didn't want to let my guard down but I wanted to enjoy his birthday.
