Taken as their mate

Chapter three

~Stephan ~

As Kiara left, I heard a growl come from Zad. "You don't even really want her, you are hoping to find someone better. She is mine!"

"As I am the older brother, I have first choice of mates."

"Yes but if a more suitable mate comes along you will take her over Kiara, that is not fair to her or me!"

"Enough!" our father yelled. "We will need to wait and see if a more suitable mate comes up for both of you. I am sure that at least one of the three packs we have left to initiate will have a young alpha or beta female that you can squabble over."

I huffed, maybe father was right, but the more time I spent near Kiara, the more my wolf pined for her. I know that for the good of the pack I had to wait and ensure I had the strongest mate." You never know Zad, maybe you will find another fireball to fall for." I smirked.

He just growled and stormed off. "We will plan the next raid to take place next week. With this many unclaimed females floating around, I do not want to spread the ambushes out as much as originally planned." my father said.

"Yes alpha." I bowed slightly and headed off after Zad. I caught up with him heading out to the training grounds. "Come on Zad, you knew this would happen."

"She is not a second place prize for me like she is for you. I am not future alpha and so I can mate who I choose and I choose her! You just don't want to let me have what is mine."

"She may not be yours!" I growled, my wolf slipping out into my voice. "If she is the strongest she wolf then she will be my mate and your future Luna, not your mate."

Zad's face scrunched up in annoyance as he barged past me and out onto the training ground. He obviously had some frustration to work out and so did I, but I had a different plan in mind. I ran back into the house and linked for one of the many whores that warmed my bed to meet me in my room. When I got there Gabriel, fully naked was waiting. I had chosen her for her long red hair, that was not as vibrant as Kiara's but it would have to do. "Alpha." she said, with a flirtatious smile as she thrust her boobs in my direction.

"Get in!" I ordered, as I opened the door and forcefully shoved her in. Part of why the females did not want to mate the male higher ranks of the pack was because we were very forceful, but I know Gabriel would like it in her own way.

I pushed her down on the bed and proceeded to remove my clothes. "You are in such a rush." she pointed out as she started to play with her n*****s.

"No talking." I growled as I discarded of the last of my clothes and flipped Gabriel over on the bed so I did not have to see her face, adding to my fantasy. I thrust my long hard c**k into her, causing her to scream out in slight pain and pleasure. Usually I was not so rough, but I had been hard since I laid eyes on Kiara and my wolf was raging at me for not claiming her as mine, so I had a lot of stuff to work out, and Gabriel was my tool. "Kiara." I growled as I pounded relentlessly into Gabriel, my own grunts drowning out any moans that Gabriel may be making.

I carried on, relentlessly pummelling Gabriel with my c**k, her juices dripping down her legs showing that she had c*m several times so far, but I was not done, not by far. Kiara's name kept slipping from my lips as I wrapped Gabriel's hair round my hand and dug into her waist so I could go harder and faster. "This is future alpha Stephan's quarters." I heard from the other side of the door.

I dropped Gabriel and ran to the door, not caring about my state of undress, needing to know who the f**k was telling someone where my room was. As I flung the door open my eyes locked on Eben as I growled." What are you doing?"

That was when my eyes took in Kiara stood beside him, she looked me up and down before taking in the room behind me, not looking impressed at all. "Looks like your future alpha already has a mate in bed with him. Should make things simpler." she said as she crossed her arms.

"Gabriel is not his mate, she's a whore." Eben laughed.

Kiara's gaze darkened with anger as she looked at me. "Well let's just hope a more suitable mate comes along for him then as there is no way I will willingly take that role." she then put on a smile and looked to Eben. "Can we continue with the tour?"

Eben chuckled and nodded as they started down the corridor again. "Hey wait a minute." I said as I ran to catch up with them, my anger at Kiara's words took over and I grabbed her hair, pulled her back and wrapped my hand around her throat. I pushed her hard against the wall and growled in her face. "How dare you speak to me like that!"

She did not finch a muscle as her eyes stayed locked with mine in defiance. "How dare you claim to be looking for a mate when you are still a child bedding whores!"

"I am older than you! If I am a child then what are you."

"You don't know if you are older than me or not. But there is a difference between acting like a child and being a child, I am ashamed that you are now my future alpha!" she spat.

My hand tightened around her throat. "You are not so special, I am sure I will find a much more suitable mate than some nobody from some backwards pack who has no respect!"

"Let's hope." she wheezed out. Showing me how hard I was holding her, I had not noticed before then as her expression remained just as cool and collected as before. I let her go, taking a step backwards. She had deep bruises around her throat and a small trickle of blood running down her neck. "Your mate will be real lucky to have you as a mate." she quipped, not even bothering to rub her no doubt sore throat. "Let's go." she said to Eben.

As she turned to him, he saw what I had done and his eyes darkened with rage. He took a menacing step towards me, his alpha. Kiara placed her hand gently on his chest catching his attention and shaking her head. He let out a few deep breaths before turning and continuing down the corridor. I stormed back to my room, me and my wolf angry at what we had done. I slammed the door and sat on my bed, holding my head in my hands as I tried to calm my wolf. A set of small arms wrapped around me. "Are we done alpha?" Gabriel whispered into my ear, her voice grating on my nerves.

I turned around and grabbed her by the throat in the same way I did Kiara. Her eyes widened in shock and horror. "We are done when I say we are done." I growled as I picked her up and pushed her against the wall. I turned her around again, needing her to be a different person that I knew I could not yet have. I lifted her left as I thrust deep into her. "You will obey me Kiara. I am your alpha." I grunted out as I continued my assault. When Gabriel tried to lean back against me, I grabbed her hair and pushed her face hard into the wall. "You need to be punished." I growled as I slapped her ass with my free hand, hard. She let out a small whimper that satisfied me to some extent, so I did it again and again. Her pail skin turning a shade of pink and then red. "You will be a good little wolf from now on Kiara." I swapped which leg Gabriel had raised and which hand I had in her hair as I repeated the punishment on her other cheek, satisfied when her whimpers turned to screams. "You will show me respect!" I growled.

"Yes alpha." Gabriel whimpered in a small voice.

I withdrew from her and let her fall to the flood. "I said no talking!" I growled. I dragged her by the hair back to the bed and threw her face down on it again. I pushed her head hard into the mattress as I pounded into her again. I was relentless, not caring that I could just about hear Gabriel's sobs over the sound of my own grunts. Finally I spilled my seed deep within her, growling Kiara's name as I did. I let Gabriel fall limp and used up onto the sheets. "Leave!" I ordered. Gabriel rose from the bed and staggered out of the room, still sobbing as she left.

I collapsed on the bed, a thin layer of sweat coating my skin. My wolf was whining in my head, angry that he knew that Gabriel was not Kiara. Angry that we had hurt Kiara and then continued with the actions that made her blatantly state that she did not want us as a mate. I groaned, my usual form of stress relief not having done its job. As my mind was still on Kiara, my c**k soon became hard again. I jumped to my feet in frustration and marched into the bathroom for a cold shower.

~Zadock~

I went to the training ground, needing to relieve the tension built by my father and Stephan. I hated being the second son, not that I ever wanted the mantel of alpha, but because Stephan always got his own way, leaving me with second best. Kiara was not second best, she was everything to me. Beautiful, strong, smart. My wolf wanted her more than he had ever wanted anything and he was just as pissed as I was. When I got to the training ground it was almost empty, most warriors having just been in the pack house, waiting to find out Kiara's fate. I was angry that so many wanted what was mine, and she would be mine.

It did not take long for others to come and start to train, obviously as frustrated as I was. I smiled slyly to myself, they did not stand a chance with her. Ignatius soon came to me looking pissed. "What is wrong with you?" I asked as I finished stretching.

"Eben." he growled. I looked at him confused and he huffed out a breath. "Kiara wanted a tour of the pack and Eben said he would take her before I even had a chance."

"Eben is showing her the pack." I growled, Ignatius obviously thinking the same as I was. Eben would get Kiara on either his side or Stephan's, ensuring that we would not stand a chance with her, or more specifically, me. "Let's train." me and Eben paired up and started to spar. We were both going a little harder on each other than usual for a sparing match, but neither of us minded needing to let out our anger.

I had just thrown Ignatius to the ground again when I caught a whiff of her scent. I looked up and saw her walk in with Eben, to my surprise he looked on edge whereas she did not look off balance at all. "This is the training ground." he said as she stepped forward, and that's when I saw it, her neck bruised and a small amount of dried blood on her chest.

I stormed over and grabbed Eben by the throat, thrusting him into the wall. "What the hell have you done to her?"

"Hey!" Kiara yelled, kicking at the back of my knees causing me to loose my grip on Eben.

I whirled on her. "Why are you defending him?"

"Because he didn't do this, your psycho man w***e of a brother did!" she spat at me, her voice laced with that of her wolf.

"What?" I yelled, catching everyone's attention.

"It doesn't matter. What's done is done. I am here to see the training ground not to hash out Stephan's actions."

"Alpha Stephan." Eben said quietly.

"I will only use alpha to address those that deserve it! He is a boy, not an alpha and certainly not my alpha." she said with anger at Eben. He stiffened at her words but did not push the matter further, obviously he knew how she had gotten the injuries and in my book, he deserved her harsh words no matter the reason." So, do only the males train here as well? "Kiara asked in a lighter voice, obviously wanting to change the subject.

" Females can train if they wish to, most in the pack don't. " Ignatius answered from behind me.

" Why? "

" Because they do not want to be mated to the higher ranks. " Eben said, obviously not thinking his answer through.

"Because you are all blood thirst, brutal barbarians." she said with a smirk, surprisingly not phased by her own interpretation that was a little too close to the truth. "Let's see it then."

"What?" I stammered, not sure if she meant the ferociousness with which we fight or mate. My c**k twitched in my pants at the prospect of the latter.

"Your fighting. I want to see it. I know that you have gone easy on me, not wanting to damage what you are trying to kidnap. So let me see what you really have." she said, eyes dancing with mischief that made me think she knew of my internal debate over whether she wanted me to f**k her, right here and now.

"S-Sure." I stammered. "Ignatius." we paired up again and resumed our combat. We struck each other with force, both trying to impress Kiara. Ignatius grunted as I landed a blow to his ribs which he retaliated with a strike to my leg. I stumbled slightly, but kept my footing as we returned to landing blows and blocking kicks and punches. I charged at Ignatius, catching him off guard and taking him to the floor before wrapping my hand around his throat, squeezing tighter and tighter until he went lax with submission.

"Not bad Zadock." Kiara said, my name sounding like honey on her tongue.

"Call me Zad."

"Okay, Zad." She stepped towards me. "Can I have a turn?"

"I don't think that is a good idea."

"Why? Because I am a woman?" she asked before she stepped closer to me and dropped her voice. "Or because I am not an alpha?"

"Both." I growled.

She smiled and walked past me. "I want to spar. I was told the women were allowed to train here. So who will spar with me?"

Jackson stepped forward. "I will spar with you, but I won't go easy." he laughed.

"You are the dumb f**k that hit Evelyn, I won't go easy on you either." I had forgotten this, but obviously Kiara had not as her smile turned to one that sent a chill down my spine.

Jackson stepped forward and made the same mistake I did in underestimating her speed. Kiara quickly dodged him and struck him on the back of the head. He growled and turned back. "You stupid b***h!" he yelled as he went at her again, she dodged to the side again and kneed him in the face.

"Well you're half right, I am a bitch." she laughed as she sprung back out of his reach. Jackson turned red with anger and went at her again, punching and kicking. Kiara managed to dodge most of them, but some blows landed and by the sound of the contact they were hard. Kiara did not relent though as she shifted her hands into claws and raked them across his chest. Jackson ran at Kiara and punched her in the chest, sending her flying back into the walls of the training arena.

As Kiara got back to her feet I stepped in. "Enough!" I yelled.

"This is not over until one of us submits, now step aside." Kiara growled as she pushed me away. I knew not to interfere but I did not want to see her take another blow. Jackson smirked, obviously impressed by her resolve and fighting ethic, not that our warriors were known for fighting ethically. He went at her again hitting her in the face before she jumped up and kicked him with both of her feet, sending Jackson flying to the floor. Kiara wasted no time pouncing on his body and digging her claws in. "You should be getting used to me pinning you by now." she growled as Jackson struggled. "You will never lay a hand on another one of my wolves again." she yelled as she punched him in the face with her free hand.

"What is the meaning of this?" a familiar voice growled from behind me. I turned to see Stephan walking into the training ground. "Who let her train with Jackson?"

"I think the better question is why did you attack her?" I grunted, pushing him in the chest.

"She showed me a lack of respect!" Stephan growled. "As do you brother, do not make me put you in your place as well."

"Submit!" Kiara yelled, oblivious to our conversation. Me and Stephan snapped our eyes back to her, with Jackson still laid below her.

"Maybe I like you mounting me too much." he wheezed out.

"We will see how much you like it when you are unconscious." she growled as she brought her head back and headbutted him, hard. Jackson went limp below her and only when she was sure that he was out cold, did she finally stand up.

She had blood running from her nose and lip as well as bruises forming on her arms and probably other areas covered by her clothing. Stephan stepped forward. "Look at what he did to you."

"At least he has the nerve to injure me in combat instead of in the halls of your pack house." she growled, getting in Stephan's face.

"You still do not know your place Kiara!"

"My place is far away from this s**t hole and far away from bastards like you!" she said, taking a step closer so the her neck was craned to keep him in her line of vision. "You want me to show you respect, try acting more like Zad."

"Watch your tongue." he gritted out.

"Or what? You will try and choke me to death again? Please do, as I would rather be dead than stuck here looking at your ugly face for the rest of my days."

Stephan raised his hand as if he was about to strike her when our father came out. "What is the meaning of this?" he said, emulating Stephan's surprise at the situation. He pulled Stephan away and his eyes widened at her injuries. "Who has done this to you?"

"Which parts?" she hissed, looking at Stephan who looked like he was ready to lunge at Kiara.

Father turned on Stephan, his eyes dark with anger. "You struck her?"

"No!" he growled. "I just punished her for showing me disrespect."

"You have not earned my respect and strangling me got you no closer to it." Kiara growled.

"See what I mean, we cannot allow these outsiders to think they are above their station."

"I have no f*****g station, i***t. You and everyone else has made that perfectly clear." and with that Kiara went to walk out of the training ground.

"I am not done with you!" Stephan growled.

"Well I am done with you!"

"b***h!"

"Man w***e!" Kiara finished as she disappeared out of sight.

Father looked around the arena. "If Stephan did not cause all her injures, then who else hurt her?" The crowed parted to show Jackson still laying unconscious on the ground. He smiled to himself for a second before his gaze drifted back to Stephan. "We need to have a little talk, when you have worked out some of that anger" he growled as he stormed back off to the pack house.

"What are you looking at? Get back to training, we have another raid in a week." Stephan growled. Everyone got back to their sparing as he partnered up with Eben, both of them going as hard on each other as me and Ignatius were.
