Alpha's Pet - Free and Complete

Nine: Heat

"I need eggs," Justa mentioned as he glanced through Alice's cabinet and fridge. "You don't have anything I can use here to feed the number of people your friend wants me to."

"I'll ask Mark to get them," Alice offered.

"Are you afraid that if you leave me alone I'll run off?" Justa questioned as he took a step toward her.

That wasn't fair. Passionflowers surrounded her and Alice's mouth went dry as she stared at him. The things that should be words fluttered around her head, she was incapable of even thinking of one. 

"I'll take your silence for an admission of guilt." Justa shook his head with a cluck of his tongue. "This is why the entire burning of the collar isn't the grand gesture you thought it was."

Alice scowled. The spell over her faded away. "That's not it at all. I'm worried about what could happen to you if I leave you alone. I am the Alpha, but I can't guarantee that all of my people will listen. Some need more lessons in obedience than others."

Alice's eyes were glazed. The vision was so vivid it could be a reality. Justa kneeling in front of her, bare to the waist, a new collar attached to him. She could even use that thing to die him down and just whet her appetite.

Would he let himself be dominated? To be taught obedience? 

"You're breathing hard." Justa's voice had a mocking lilt to it as he reached out and put a hand on her arm.

A keening moan tore from Alice's lips. "You can't do that," she whimpered as she took a step back. Her lovely thoughts were all dashed now. If he touched her again, she was going to throw him against the wall.

Throw, then rip his clothes off, then devour him. She'd taste every inch of him, and force him to do the same. She trembled as she forced herself back to normal. 

"You have poor self-control," Justa observed with a soft sigh. The mocking tone was gone. "You should get some rest. I'll go get the eggs. You said it's safe for me, right?"

Alice wanted to growl at him, but she was in no state going out in her pack looking like this. What kind of Alpha let herself get worked up and in this type of situation? Her arousal scent flooded around her.

Thank God Justa was a human.

If he'd been a wolf, they'd be making use of her bed right now. If any of the pack smelled this, she'd have to fight them off. They respected her when she showed her Alpha side of course, but if she went around smelling like a normal female?

All bets would be off.

"They're going to think it's strange you don't have a collar," Alice said instead as she looked around. Now she regretted melting the thing. 

"It's just a few eggs. Besides, they'd be stupid to attack me when I'm gathering this for them to have a meal unlike any other. Especially if they react the same way Mark did."

Alice nodded. "I'll get Mark to go with you. He doesn't have to be right with you, but let him go with you as a backup in case the worst happens?"

Justa crossed his arms over his chest as he thought her proposition over. Alice dared not move as the man pondered. "Fine."

Alice breathed a sigh of relief and then lifted her head, used the wind around her, and howled even in this form.

Mark's howl answered her within moments.

"Did you want me to take care of it while you get a nap in?" Justa asked. "I'll let him know what you called him for."

Alice almost slapped her hand over her face. She was being just so intelligent today. Sure, summon her second in command to her house, where he'd be able to smell what Justa was doing to her.

"Thanks," she whispered weakly. It was better for him to think she needed a nap or to rest than to know the real reason. "I'll see you when you return, be careful."

Mark's step was already coming up the tunnel. Alice hurried to her bed and crawled into it, wrapping the cover around her. It wouldn't completely muffle her smell, but at least it would not make it obvious.

There was some talking back and forth from the two and Alice strained her ears. Would Mark just listen to the human? Or would he come to check on her? 

"Alpha."

Her worst fears were realized as her second entered the room. As his eyes fell on her his nostrils flared and a golden light entered his eyes.

Fuck.

"See, as I told you, she's going to get some rest. If you're going with me to get the eggs, we need to hurry. You have a lot of cooking planned for me, and it will take a long time to do it all."

Mark licked his lips, his eyes still pinned on Alice's bed. She pulled the covers around her tighter and glared at Mark with every fiber in her being. "Thank you for the help, Mark. That is all. Go now." She put an extra growl in her voice.

The wolf shook as he came out of his trance and he jerked his head in a nod as he and Justa left.

Alice breathed a sigh of relief and sagged against her pillow. Her entire lower half had grown slick. If anything, hiding in the bed where all her fantasies took place only made matters worse.

She would need to wake up during the day to wash herself off. Going out too early would be dangerous.

Alice wiggled in bed and her body made the oddest slurp sound as her legs rubbed against each other.

Alice closed her eyes and forced herself to take deep calming breaths. She would not give in.

But this wasn't even her animal side that demanded that she touch that slickness. No, it was the other side of her that wanted to completely take Justa as her own. Her breasts rubbed against the soft fabric of the cover, enough for Alice to whimper.

She clasped the covers as tight as she could so yet another wandering body part would not do anything to embarrass her further. If she fanned this scent around any more she'd have a lot of trouble with Mark when he showed up again.

Justa had saved her this time. His interruption had startled the beast that woke up in her second. But Alice was no fool. She knew that look. 

She remembered the time before she was Alpha. When Jared would round up all the women that smelled even the least bit appetizing to him. That hungry glaze in his eyes had been the same as the one she'd seen in Mark's.

A glaze that made the holder forget everything else around them except satisfying themselves and possibly bringing about a new generation.

He would do to her so many things far worse than what she wanted to do to Justa.

Alice's eyes popped open again. Her hold had loosened on the cover. What would happen if Justa did smell this? Would it do anything to a human? She bit her lip at the thought.

Her hand slipped beneath the cover, her shifted clothes faded away as she released the magic. Her fingers ghosted over her flesh and she imagined that it wasn't her hand, but Justa's. 

She strained her ears as she reached her stomach. She followed its path and stopped. Could she go on with this? Would this even work? 

But what if it did? What if Justa became overwhelmed as well. They'd both be able to sate their needs.

And Alice found herself needing him. She'd always thought she'd find her perfect mate, someone that would help her lead. 

But it never happened. 

Justa would never be an Alpha, he'd never challenge her for a position. Maybe challenge her for a top or bottom, but that was it. 

Alice almost laughed. She wouldn't mind being his bottom as long as she ended up on top by the end.

Her hand traveled lower. The wetness pearled on her fingers and she bit back a moan as her body loosened and her thighs fell apart. The scent was so much stronger now. 

Screw having a mate, she didn't need one. She and her wolf agreed that they needed to win Justa over. She wanted to throw him on the bed, chain him down, kiss him so hard that she broke skin. 

Her breathing picked up as her fingers glided over the wet folds. 

Last chance to turn back. Last chance to get herself under control. She was an Alpha damn it. Why was she being thrown into a period of heat? It was nowhere near her time! Why did she have such desires for this one creature?

She didn't care if he was human. She wanted him and she wanted him now. 

Alice gave in.
