Black River Daughter

Happily ever after?

Drake

I had everything planned, well more like thrown together. From our conversation earlier, I knew she likes asian food, so I would go from there. I was feeling a bit possessive already, and my wolf was making it known that he was disappointed that I didn’t let her continue exploring my body. So I decided to make up a bento box with sushi rice, and egg drop soup. I was rather proud of my cooking ability, my mother taught me that if you want to make your mate happy, that cooking and cleaning were essential skills. I packed a couple of pillows, blankets, candles and the bento boxes and headed to the state park. 

I was pulling the car into the gravel parking lot when she spoke up after a comfortable silence. “I should have worn the doc martins.”

As I shut off the engine I looked at her adorable ankle high suede boots. They had a neat cuff that reminded me of a renaissance fair. “s**t, well I can give you a piggyback ride?”

“In this dress?” she smirked at me “It’s okay most of the path to the lake is paved. But now you know why I hate surprises.”

“Duly noted. Won’t happen again.” I sheepishly replied. I grabbed the basket and a backpack out of the trunk and locked the car, not that it needed it out here, the sun was setting and the parking lot was empty. I reached out my hand for her to grasp. 

“I love it up here. My family used to come up here all the time to run.” she reminisced. 

“It’s always quiet at night up here, I come up to be alone. Sometimes the pack house feels like it’s about to fall down around me when everyone is busy.”

“You don’t have your own apartments in that mansion?” she asked, swinging our interlocked hands as we strolled up the trail. It was only a mile till we got to the lake, and her long legs had no problem keeping up with me. 

“I do, but you know this enhanced hearing can pick up on everything.” I smiled as she laughed at that thought.

“Yeah, it’s rough, try living in a college dorm for two years. I got more of a s*x education than I wanted.” She blushed at her last memory, it just made me want to kiss her more. 

We reached the lake, and I spread out the blanket and handed her a pillow to sit on. I pulled out the candles and lit them, sitting them a little ways away from us wrinkling my nose at their smell. “I hate citronella, but I hate being eaten more I muttered” Finally I pulled out the bento boxes and utensils. I handed one to Frankie and grabbed one for myself. “You said you like asian food.”

“Oh these are amazing! Where did you get these?” she gushed looking at the sushi rolls and rice ball.

“I made them.” I said around a bite. She looked stunned.

“No way!” I just nodded in response. I watched her take her first bite cramming a roll in her mouth. She moaned in delight at the flavor. “Okay marry me.” she said after swallowing.

With a very serious face I said “Yes.”

“Wait! I didn’t mean it!” she began sputtering nearly dropping the box, “Well I mean I know we will eventually, but that was hyperbole, I think, wait I don’t know” she turned bright red as I began laughing.

“Nope no take backs! I’m yours now!” I was laughing so hard, as she began to relax.

“I was tricked! No fair.” she pouted and took another bite. I pulled out some bottle water and a couple sodas not knowing what she would prefer. And offered one of each.

“I would have offered something stronger, but don’t want you thinking that I’m trying to take advantage of you.” I grinned leaning into her, “Although you did propose so maybe you’re trying to take advantage of me.”

“Ha ha, pervert.” She grabbed the water bottle and unscrewed the cap. 

“I’m not the one that started getting handsy in your backyard.” I reached over to poke her in the side.

“Lies and slander, I will deny everything.”

We finished eating, and cleaned up the boxes, and laid down to enjoy the stars that began to twinkle. I was enjoying the peace of the trees and the quiet sounds of the lake water splashing on the rocks in little waves. I felt her nuzzle closer to my side so I wrapped my arm around her shoulders. “This is nice.” 

“Yeah it is, I needed this.” She turned and propped herself to lean on one elbow studying me. Gently she traced a finger from my forehead down my nose and played with my lips. I trapped her wrist to kiss the pads of her fingers, pulling one into my mouth to gently suck it. Her face blushed and she licked her lips, and swallowed. I pulled her to lay on my chest as I replaced her hand with her full lips. She tasted like heaven, and felt like home.

I sighed thoroughly enjoying exploring her mouth with my tongue. She relaxed into me and began running her hands through my hair. I let my hands travel down her back to rest deliciously on her round ass. I could feel her dress hike up as she spread her legs to straddle me. She broke our kiss sitting up. “What’s wrong? Did I go too far?” I asked, worried that I overstepped my invitation. 

“No not at all. Just have a few questions.” she placed her hands on my stomach. I nodded and she continued. “You said we would be learning together on this, was that just for our relationship or in general? Like physically?”

I blushed this time. “Uh, all of it.” I admitted, “Other than porn I have no idea what I’m doing.”

“Okay, that’s good, I won’t have any jealous she-wolves trying to butt in.” she giggled. “One more thing” I nodded. “Don’t stop me this time, unless you really feel uncomfortable, I’m sure I want this.” My heart began to race, I nodded pulling her back down to me crushing her lips into mine. 

I broke the kiss for a breath “Just tell me what you like, and what I need to do to make this better.” I said as she rested her forehead against mine. “I heard that it hurts for women the first time, last thing I want to do is hurt you.”

“It can if you go too hard or fast, but that can happen any time someone has sex.” Somewhat relieved I went back to kissing her, letting my hands travel up and down her legs, running under her dress to grip her butt. 

She began unbuttoning my shirt and pushing it away from my chest, I sat up so I could pull my arms out. She broke our kiss again to pull her dress over her head revealing her perfect body. Her firm breasts filled my hands and I couldn't help but to grasp them, and kiss the swell that peaked out over the top of her lacy black bra. She moaned and fisted her hand in my hair. I kissed up her chest and nibbled her collar bone on my way to her neck where I licked and nipped, fighting every urge to sink my teeth in to mark her as mine, we didn’t talk about that yet and I didn’t want to disrespect her by making a decision for her. I began to fumble with the latch on the back of her bra completely clueless as to how these things worked. She giggled again and stood up over the top of me. It was thrilling seeing her in this powerful pose while I lay on the ground between her legs, my manhood reacted instantly. 

“Take those off.” she said pointing at my jeans. She unfastened her bra and dropped it to the side. Oh Goddess I am not going to last very long at all with her. 

“Yes ma’am” I said, unfastening the button fly and pushing my jeans down my legs. s**t, shoes go first, I quickly kicked off my shoes and finished pushing the jeans down and off with my socks. I was completely naked sitting in front of her as she still had her panties and stockings on.

“My turn.” she pushed her panties off, then pulled the stockings down adding them to our pile of clothes to the side. She sat back down on my lap with my erection sitting proud between us. I grabbed the back of her head pulling her in for another kiss. I wanted this to last, I needed to feel her like this, naked and offered up for me. She both terrified and excited me. She began sliding her hips forward as our mouths tangled with each other. I moved my hands to her hips keeping her still, if she keeps grinding like that I’m not even going to make it to the main event. She whimpered in response, I could feel her dampening my legs with excitement. Even if I could keep her from rushing me, she had other plans her hand wrapped around my member, making me gasp and jump. “Sorry, was that too rough?” she apologized letting go.

I swallowed hard, shaking my head trying to regain control. “No, baby not at all. Just wasn’t expecting that.” 

“Will you touch me too?” I throbbed in need. This is what I wanted, what I needed, her guiding me and teaching me how to please her. She wrapped her hand around my wrist and guided me between her legs. I could feel that she was hot and wet. I swear all the blood left my head and traveled straight down. I began to run my fingers along her folds diving one into her tight channel. I pulled my finger back out and continued to stroke along her creases and folds finding her firm nub at the front of her s*x, I gently circled her clit then drove my finger back into her s*x. Her breathing became ragged as I continued this pattern, she kept her hands firmly on my shoulders as she began to shake. I heard her begin to moan in reaction as I picked up speed, she began to grind on my hand. 

My c**k felt like it was going to jump off of me, as I realized that I was about to make her c*m with my hand! She began to softly chant “Yes” over and over until she threw her head back with a guttural moan. Once her body stopped spasming around my fingers she looked into my eyes and ran her hand down my body wrapping around my c**k again. I was expecting it this time so just moaned in the pleasure of her soft grip. She shifted her body to position her opening over my manhood, and slowly eased herself down on my hard on. I gasped as her hot channel engulfed me.

“Oh Goddess!” I grunted out as she took control, she paused halfway down wincing for a moment, then continued to slide the rest of the way until I was bottomed out inside her. “Are you okay?” I whispered.

“Uh huh.” she responded as she caught her breath, she let me fill her and waited for her body to adjust to my size. Fear of hurting her cooled me down enough to not just empty myself inside her as soon as I was in place. I gently kissed her holding her hips in still, not sure if I should lead her to ride me. She took my decision and began rolling her hips pulling herself off my c**k and sliding back down, it was insanely slow, I wanted more.

“Can I lead?” I whispered into her neck as I began trailing kisses and nips along that tasty column. 

“Yes, please.” she choked out as she was building to another orgasm.

As she slid down on my shaft again, I rolled her easily to her back, keeping myself buried to the hilt in her. I positioned my weight on my elbows as I rolled my hips gliding into her sheath. She squeaked in surprise, but wrapped her legs around my waist. I growled in delight as my wolf rose to the surface. Goddess no, if I can’t control him I will surely ruin this. She looked into my eyes. I could see her eyes shifting color with a slight glow. She nodded giving my wolf permission to take control. This wasn’t just for me and her this was a mating and a bonding of our animal sides. I dug my hands into her hips pinning her to the blanket, thrusting harder. She began licking and nipping at my neck and shoulder, I felt her teeth sink into the flesh  right where my neck met my shoulder, lighting shooting through my body, I tensed and slowed down looking at her face wondering if she realized what she had done.

She touched her lips looking at the place that she marked my neck. Terror flashed in her eyes, I smiled, my wolf growled and my nails dug into her hips as my canines sank into her. She shuddered as another orgasm gripped her, I pumped furiously, the walls of her core gripping me, and taking me over the edge. I emptied jets of c*m into her, realizing at that moment that I didn’t bother having her put a condom on me. I groaned and rolled off of her in a sticky mess. We were covered in sweat and little blood from marking each other. I covered my face with my hands. “Frankie I am so sorry.”

She rolled on her side after her breathing slowed down. “Why?” 

I dropped my hands looking at her. “I couldn’t keep my wolf from marking you. We didn’t talk about that before we started.”

“To be fair I think I did it first.” she smirked.

“And I failed to grab a condom, I wasn’t expecting you to want to make love yet.” she sat up with concern on her face.

“Oh s**t. I’m not on the pill either.” She pulled her knees up to her chest hugging them. “I mean we were both virgins so at least we don’t have to worry about diseases.”

I laughed. “Yeah, but you are against getting married so how is a pup going to factor into that.”

She smiled. “I’m not against marriage, but I wanted to make sure that it wasn’t one of those macho alpha control things that some wolves tend to do.”

“No, never.” I propped myself up cupping her face, she leaned in kissing me gently. “Want a swim to wash all of us, off of us?” She nodded then stood up leading me to the water. 

“Good thing we are both loaded, because babies are expensive, and I’m going to need a live-in Nanny, because I’m not good with kids.” She joked splashing me playfully. 

“The only thing I’m worried about is your training. How is Demitri going to handle you being pregnant?” All color left her face. “Also will the council let you be my Luna? You don’t really belong to any pack right?” I pulled her close to me hugging her in the water.

“We’ll talk to him tomorrow, let’s just go home tonight.” I smiled, pressing a kiss to her hair. She said let’s go home. My stomach was flipping in happiness. 

“Do you want to go to your parents house and grab an overnight bag? Or do you want me to stay in your room?” 

“I’ll text my mom, let her know that I’m moving in with you and will grab my stuff tomorrow. I’m sure you have a shirt and some gym shorts that I can cinch tight enough.” she stated matter of factly. 

“Anything for you.” I began walking to the shore pulling her with me. We quickly dressed and headed down the path to my car. For the most part we just looked like we enjoyed a nice picnic not a wild roll in the hay. 

As I drove to the pack house she typed up a message to her mom letting her know the plan. We didn’t get to talk very much in the car as her phone kept pinging with more messages, from her mom, her dad, her cousin, and her sister. “Right now they think that you are kidnapping me, so let's head by the house so that they don’t try to mount an invasion of the pack house.” She laughed.

“I kinda figured.” I said as I turned down her parents street.

We pulled into the driveway, and I helped her out of her side of the car. Her dad was standing on the front porch with his arms crossed, with a murderous look on his face. s**t this is not going to go well for me. Frankie climbed the stairs dragging me behind her. “So one date and you are all ready to move in with him? What the hell Frankie?” He growled out. I bristled in response, no one, not even my mate’s father was going to intimidate her!

“Watch how you speak to her Alpha Woods.” Frankie stepped between us placing her hands on my chest. I could feel my heart rate slow as she did something to calm me. She placed a hand on my cheek and I leaned into her palm. 

“Daddy, go inside and wait for me, while I calm my mate that you have upset.” she calmly instructed, giving a small push with her alpha aura. He grunted but complied. “Drake, look at me. My Dad is not a threat. I told you I don’t like that macho attitude, so let me take care of this.” I huffed, but nodded, grasping her hand and kissing the palm that had been cupping my cheek. 

“I’m sorry. I’ll behave.” 

“Thank you. Lets go and face the circus.” She turned to the door leading me into the house.

We sat down at the table in the kitchen, it had always been her family's gathering point in the house. I’ve been to her house many times over the years as Alpha woods mentored me in running my pack. It was surreal that I would have to sit with them judging if I was a good enough mate for their daughter. Her mother was making a pot of coffee and had just placed a plate of brownies on the table. My stomach felt hollow with everyone sitting around us, we clearly smelled of s*x and the marks on our necks were clearly visible.

“Pay up Kim.” Samara said. 

Frankie’s Aunt pulled a folded up twenty out of the back pocket in her jeans. “Damn Frankie, I said it would at least be the second date.”

I snorted into the coffee that Samara had just handed me. “Don’t worry, I know my daughter forced herself on you.”

“Well I guess if she had to have a mate, the Goddess picked an okay one.” Rodney said, his arms were still crossed and he was still glaring at me, but at least he wasn’t growling.

“So Frankie has a mate now huh?” Frankie’s little sister asked, as she grabbed a brownie. “I’m taking her costume collection.”

“What? Oh hell no!” Frankie yelled.

Hannah her cousin smacked her arm, saying “Not like you can fit half of them anymore anyways. Besides, You are going to have Luna duties soon, and not a lot of time for conventions.” Frankie groaned in response, everyone else at the table laughed at her.

“So what are you going to dress me up as?” I asked, nudging her.

“Okay we are getting married TOMORROW!” This time her dad spit his coffee all down his front.

“That’s twice now, one more time and it’s no take backs.” I laughed.

We sat for a little while longer with family grilling questions on what the plans were going to be. They felt that we were moving a little fast, but also understood the mate bond would work on it’s own timeline, and there is no point fighting it. We agreed that we would stay the night at her parents house and move what she wanted to the pack house the next day. Demitri would be stopping by in the morning to see what our decision was anyway. 

Went retired to her old bedroom after everyone had calmed down. It was nearly one in the morning, meaning that I was going to wake up with a massive migraine, but being able to sleep with my mate made it worth it. I stripped to my boxers, and watched her undress then throw on a silky tank and shorts. “I would rather be naked, but we are still in my parents house.” She said as she crawled under the covers and cuddled up to my side. 

I wrapped my arm around her sighing contentedly. “If you told me when I woke up this morning that my life would be turned upside down, I would have laughed.” I squeezed her tighter, kissing her temple. I could feel her breathing become even, as she fell asleep, my eyes grew heavy and I followed her into slumber.

“Drake!” I could hear Frankie screaming in the distance, it was distorted like I was under water. I ran wondering how I got here. From what I could tell I was standing in an endless hallway with white walls, ceiling and floor. I began running toward Frankie's voice, panicking. I can’t lose her, not already! As I ran down this infinite hall I noticed the walls became translucent, like they were made of ice, I could see Frankie on one side of the hallway banging on the wall, on the opposite side I saw an immense white dragon with iridescent scales. They reminded me of Frankie’s hair, and her wolf’s fur. Was this my dragon? Was I supposed to make a choice? My mate or my ascension? I stopped staring from one to the next not understanding what to do. “Drake!” I heard Frankie’s melodic voice right next to me now. She was holding my hand gazing up to my face. At the same time a second Frankie was still banging on the glass on the other side of the hall. 

“What’s going on?” I sounded so shaky. 

“That one isn’t real,” she said pointing at her clone. When I accepted that, the Frankie that was trapped on the other side began to change, stepping back and becoming hideous. Her skin looked like it was melting off of her leaving a grey disfigured face underneath, it’s eyes glowed red menacingly. As the evil Frankie began to dissolve so did the wall behind me trapping the dragon. The Dragon stepped forward and wrapped its wings around me and my mate, my real mate. “We need to wake up now.” Frankie whispered nuzzling into my neck.

I gasped shooting up out of bed shaking. Frankie sat up next to me. “What the hell was that?” She asked.

“Were you there?” I rubbed my face shaking as the adrenaline seeped out of my body. “Were you in my dream?”

“You’re going to ascend tonight.” She trembled as she scooted closer, needing me to hold her.

I squeezed her too me, fearing that whatever I saw behind the glass was going to snatch my mate away from me. After a few moments sunlight began to filter in through the curtains, followed by a knock at the door. “Drake, Frankie! Wanna join us in the gym?” Her sister called through the door.

“Goddess you lot wake up early.” She chuckled in reply. 

“Come on, I’ll grab you a pair of shorts and t-shirt.” Then she frowned at me. “You have a headache.” she ran her fingers across my forehead then into my hair lightly scratching my scalp. Everywhere that her fingers trailed I felt sparks lighting up my skin, then all the tension and pressure left my head. “There you go.”

“How did you do that?” 

“After my first pack run at Black River, everyone noticed that they felt more charged and full of energy. Demitri taught me how to control that. It’s like a health or mana potion.” She sat up pushing herself out of bed to pull on some sweats and a sports bra and tank top. “Be right back.”

After a few breaths she came back with an old Army t-shirt and pair of running shorts. “Your dad’s?” I asked.

“Yeah, come on.” I quickly pulled them on then followed her down stairs to her family’s home gym. It was a decent size for something found in a private home, had a bike, treadmill, and a range of plates and dumbbells. Her mom was already on the bike, it looked like it was altered to fit her prosthetic. Her sister and her dad were stretching in front of the weight rack. “Hope the pack house has a nice gym, because I’m pretty accustomed to working out every morning.” she said as she joined her dad and sister stretching.

“Yeah, we have a nice one, I’m surprised you never used it when you came over to visit Kayleigh.” I answered as I bent over in a hamstring stretch. 

Her dad grunted, then turned to me. “You've been leading your pack in training like we talked about?” 

“Yes sir. Twice a day for the warriors and once a day for everyone else.” I answered

“Good, Frankie has her certification in Judo, and krav maga, You might want to have her add that into training.” he nodded to Frankie. Feels like he’s accepting me as her mate now. I’m glad, I really respect the man, he’s been my mentor for the last five years. 

“Wow, Babe, remind me not to piss you off.” I smile as she throws a couple air jabs in my direction. 

“Oh don’t worry, that’s what we’re working on today.” I gulp.

After an hour of my little mate slamming me to the mat I was bruised and sore. She pulled me into the shower in her room, and ran her finger tips over all the scrapes and purple blotches. With her healing touch and the warm water I began to relax. We washed up quickly, then dressed. I just pulled on the clothes that I wore last night, she put on a pair of skinny jeans and a peasant style cream top. We went down to her father’s office to meet with Demitri.
