Chapter Text

A free trip across the country. I should’ve known it sounded too good to be true. By the time I realized, it was far too late. I’d already signed the contract.

“For the next four days, you all belong to the werewolves aboard this train,” the woman explained as we crowded into a small room for the orientation. “You will do as they say. For the next four days and three nights, your bodies belong to them. Understood?”

Around me, there was a chorus of “yes ma’am’s,” a lot of which sounded bored. In fact, many of them looked as if they’d been through the same speech a million times. Maybe they had.

“We have some special guests on this trip,” the woman continued and a few of my fellows perked up, “So I want you all to be on your best behavior. Now, get to work.”

With the dismissal, a door was opened and everyone started filing out, a few of them murmuring excitedly to each other.

“Who do you think it is?” one of the men whispered to a woman, “One of the Alpha’s agents?”

“I heard the Alpha himself was coming,” she replied.

“Hush now!” the director woman snapped.

When the room was nearly empty, I stepped towards her, “Umm… ma’am?”

She looked down at me, an impatient eyebrow raised.

“I’m not supposed to be here,” I said in a small voice, “I didn’t know what I was signing when—”

“You signed the contract, didn’t you?” she asked impatiently.

“Yes, but I was told—”

“You didn’t read it?”

“I was in a hurry and the lady said it was—”

“Not my problem,” she held up a hand, “You signed the contract. You’re legally bound to it, whether you read it or not. Now get out there. You have guests to tend to.”

“But I’m… I’ve never…”

She heaved a heavy sigh, gripped my shoulders, spun me around and marched me forward, out the door.

In the train car, several werewolves were lounging in chairs, drinks in hand, and some already had a human companion in their laps. My eyes widened in horror when I saw one of the humans had already been forced to his knees, his head between the legs of a werewolf woman while her fingers knotted in his hair, grinding his face against her crotch.

“New to this, sweetie?” a voice sounded beside me.

I jumped as a hand wrapped around my arm and dragged me closer to a large, warm body.

“Don’t worry, baby,” the werewolf man murmured, leading me over to one of the chairs, “I’ll take care of you.”

He sat and pulled me into his lap, his hand squeezing my ass possessively, making me yelp with surprise.

“Please don’t,” I said in a small voice, struggling against his hold, “Please, I’m… I’m not supposed to be here.”

“Mmm,” he rumbled, pressing his nose into my neck, “I think you’re supposed to be right here.”

His hand moved from my ass to between my legs.

I desperately tried to push him away and said, “I’ve never done this. Please…”

He paused, pulling back to look in my eyes, “You’re a virgin?”

I swallowed dryly and nodded.

A wicked smile broke out on his face, “Well then I just won the lottery.”

I fought back a sob as he ducked his head again, nibbling at my neck. His hand was still between my legs, rubbing circles over my clit through my clothes. I’d never been touched like that by anyone before. And my first time was by a stranger whose name I didn’t know, who didn’t know my name, and who only saw me as a sex toy.

Yet, I couldn’t help the whimpers of pleasure that came from my lips. It felt good to be touched for the first time. For the hand between my legs to not be my own or a vibrator.

Just four days and I’d be free. The train would arrive and I’d be free. I just had to put up with it for four days.

While the man continued to rub me through my clothes, he spoke to his fellow werewolves, many of whom also had humans on hand. He talked as if he wasn’t actively violating me in front of everyone, only occasionally ducking his head to nibble at me while someone else talked.

I kept my eyes averted from everyone else. I didn’t want to see how many people were witness to my shame. I couldn’t handle it.

Eventually, one of the man’s hands made its way under my shirt and started squeezing my breast. I whined and squirmed, trying to dislodge his hand, but it was no good. He held me still with one arm while assaulting me with his other hand.

“Do you mind if I cut in?” a deep voice sounded from above me.

“Oh… uh… Of course, sir,” the werewolf holding me said quickly and I suddenly found myself being pushed out of his lap, onto my feet.

I swayed, unsteady from the abrupt change, only to be caught by new hands around my upper arms.

“All yours,” the man that had been holding me said.

I looked up at the new werewolf. He was extremely tall and clearly very thickly built under his nicely fitted suit, with a thick black beard and long hair pulled neatly behind his head. The man held me at arm’s length for a moment, his eyes looking me up and down before he inclined his head towards the previous werewolf.

“Thank you, Robert,” he said.

“Of course, sir,” the other said quickly, “Whatever you need.”

The new werewolf scooped me into his arms, cradling me to his broad chest, as he walked through the train car.

“I can walk on my own,” I told him, struggling in his hold.

“I am certain you can,” he said with a rich chuckle, “But I wish to carry you, pup.”

I pursed my lips at the pet name, “I’m not a pup.”

He smiled, but said nothing as he moved to one of the chairs and sat, continuing to cradle me in his arms.

“Let me go,” I said, pushing at his chest to try to get away.

He raised an eyebrow, “If you leave my possession, another werewolf will take you for their own. Did you perhaps prefer Robert?”

I glanced back towards where the previous werewolf was. He had already found another human, his hand in the woman’s pants.

“N-no,” I stuttered out, “But I’m not supposed to be here at all.”

“You signed the contract, yes?”

“Yes, but I didn’t know what it was for.”

“Unfortunate. Still, as I said, if you leave my possession, another werewolf will take you and I do not want that. For the remainder of this trip, you belong to me, pup.”

I fought back a sob and nodded my understanding.

Just four days. Four days and I would be free.

Unlike the previous werewolf, my new captor didn’t touch me between my legs as he began speaking to his fellows. He held me to him with one hand on my waist while the other ran up and down my thigh, which was still more intimate than I liked, but it was better than having my clit touched in a room full of strangers.

I didn’t want to listen to the conversations around me. I wanted to completely check out. I rested my forehead against the man’s collarbone, closing my eyes and desperately trying to forget where I was. The werewolf’s hand on my thigh didn’t let me forget. I was acutely aware of the contact as his large, warm hand ran down almost to my knee and then up to the curve of my ass.

“A moment, pup,” he murmured in my ear after a while, “I need to conduct some business in private.”

Before I knew it, I was being hauled gently to my feet. The werewolf took my hand and led me over to the corner of the train car, where a few other humans were sitting. He guided me to a chair and gestured for me to sit.

He bent down and kissed my forehead, “I will return shortly. Behave yourself.”

I nodded numbly and he smiled and turned, leaving the train car with a few other werewolves at his side. As soon as he was gone, the two other humans there leaned towards me.

“How’d you do it?” the woman asked in a hushed but excited tone.

“Do… what?” I asked, hugging myself protectively.

“Bag the Alpha,” the man said in disbelief, “I’ve been doing this for five years and I’ve never seen him take on a human before.”

I felt my eyes widen fearfully, “The… Alpha…? Like the Alpha?”

The pair of them nodded, looking at me like I’d lost my mind.

“You really didn’t know?” the woman asked, “Wow… You must be oblivious. He’s only the most famous werewolf in the whole fucking world.”

My face warmed with shame and anxiety. The Alpha...what the fuck?

“He probably overheard that they’re a virgin,” the man commented to the woman.

“Really?” she looked at me, brow furrowed, “You’re a virgin?”

“I’ve… never had sex,” I whispered.

“Fuck,” the woman groaned, “If I’d known that was all it’d take to get the Alpha’s attention, I would’ve saved myself.”

My face burned further.

The werewolf that had laid claim to me returned to the car, walking straight towards me. He held his hand out to me.

As I looked up at him, really looked at him, I realized I did recognize him. I’d seen him on the news plenty of times. I just hadn't been expecting to see him there.

“Come with me, pup,” he said, his voice soft.

The humans beside me gave me a look of jealousy and disbelief.

I swallowed hard and placed my hand within his. He helped me to my feet and started leading me to the door at the back of the train car. My breathing was rough and ragged. The Alpha. The fucking Alpha. I barely saw where we were going as he led the way through the train. He kept a steadying hand on me as I rocked with the train’s movements.

Then we were in a private room. A surprisingly large bed for it being on a train took up a large amount of the space. My heart raced in fear as I eyed the bed, but he pulled me past it and into a bathroom, also unexpectedly large for being on a train. Suddenly, he held me close, pressing his nose into my neck and inhaling deeply. When he pulled away, he had a frown on his face.

“You smell of other wolves,” he told me and he gestured at the shower, “Bathe thoroughly.”

“P-please, sir,” I looked up at him with wide eyes, “I… I shouldn’t be here.”

“Regardless, you are here and for the next four days, you belong to me, pup,” he said in a firm but not unkind voice. “Please do not make this more difficult than it needs to be. Shower and there will be clean clothes waiting for you.”

He didn’t give me a chance to respond before he stepped out and closed the door behind him. Left with no real choice, I showered. Keeping in mind what he said about the scent of other werewolves, I made sure to wash my neck thoroughly where the other man had nibbled. I also took the time to wash away the evidence of my arousal between my legs. Of which there was an embarrassing amount.

Once I felt clean, I stepped out and wrapped myself in a towel. Then I realized… I didn’t have any clothes to put on in the bathroom. My werewolf-scented clothes were there, but I knew the Alpha wouldn’t be happy about that. My only option was to step into the bedroom and hope there were clothes waiting for me there.

They were, but the Alpha was also there. He was on his cell phone, speaking a language I didn’t understand. When he saw me emerge, he said a quick goodbye to whoever was on the other end of the conversation and hung up. He gestured to a small stack of clothing on the bed.

“Dress,” he ordered, “Quickly, please. We have somewhere to be.”

I swallowed hard and moved towards the bed. The Alpha’s head was ducked as he did some typing on his phone. Steeling myself, I grabbed the shirt from the stack and tried to keep the towel firmly around me as I maneuvered to attempt to dress.

I heard the Alpha heave a sigh and then suddenly he was moving towards me. I tried to back away, but I hit a wall and then the Alpha was there, his hand gripping the towel I clutched around me. I tried to hold on to it, to keep him from pulling it off, but to no avail. The towel was yanked from my body and I struggled to cover myself with my hands. He dropped the towel and gripped one of my wrists, holding it up so I couldn’t use that hand to cover myself.

“There,” he said simply, “I have seen you naked. No need to complicate things to avoid this outcome now, is there?”

I didn’t respond, I just struggled against his hold, trying to free my wrist.

“Is there?” he repeated more firmly.

I stilled and said in a quiet voice, “No, sir.”

He released me, “Good pup. Now dress. As I said, we have somewhere to be.”

“Yes, sir,” I replied weakly.

He gave a nod and then moved away, resuming typing on his cell phone.

I dressed as quickly as possible, grateful that the man didn’t look at me again while I did so.

“Good,” he said, pocketing his phone and then offering me his arm, “Shall we?”

I wanted to scream “no!” in his face, but that wouldn’t do any good, so I nodded and moved to his side, holding his arm as he led the way out of the room. We went into the dining car and the Alpha gestured for me to sit beside him at a large table. There were lots of other werewolves sat there, and only a few of my fellow contracted humans.

Food was delivered to us. Mostly meat based, from what I saw. Which made sense, with all the werewolves.

My stomach was too tense to eat much. And as much as I tried to ignore the conversation around me, I still heard some of it.

“Alpha, you’re really not worried about the vampires rising in the north?” a woman werewolf asked, who had a human woman at her side.

“We have people keeping an eye on them, Delilah,” he responded, “As a whole, however, I do not believe vampires present a threat to us.”

“They threaten humans,” a man argued.

“Not as much as the news would have you believe. How many humans kill humans every day?” the Alpha asked, “The numbers of vampire on human violence feel high because the news reports on every single attack broadly when the reality is that they kill far fewer humans on average than humans kill each other.”

“So a few human deaths at the hands of vampires are acceptable?” another questioned.

“Not at all. I only mean to say that vampires as a species are not a threat to werewolves or humans. The violence, whether it be vampires against humans or humans against humans, needs to be addressed. I have formed a committee of vampires, werewolves, and humans to discuss what can be done. We are investigating the causes of vampire attacks on humans and learning how we can prevent them.”

“Killing all vampires would do it,” someone pointed out.

“Indeed, it would,” the Alpha agreed gravely, “Just as killing all humans would cease their attacks on werewolves. Do you suggest we commit genocide for the acts of a few individuals?”

The person flushed and didn’t respond.

“As I said,” the Alpha continued, “Vampires as a whole are not a danger to us. Everyone on an individual basis has the capability of committing horrendous acts, but those actions should not condemn their entire species.”

The conversation drifted away from vampires as I stared at the nearly full plate of food in front of me, stomach churning.

“You are not hungry?” the Alpha asked me softly.

“No, sir,” I replied in a whisper.

“You should at least drink some water,” he said, moving my glass closer to me before taking my plate and emptying it onto his.

I took the glass and drank a few sips before setting it back down.

The Alpha gave a weary sigh, shaking his head, “More, please, pup.”

“Yes, sir,” I muttered, a little bitterly, as grabbed the glass again, drinking more deeply.

“Good, pup,” he said softly.

My cheeks warmed under his praise.

He returned to speaking to others at the table and I obediently continued sipping my drink, realizing I was indeed quite thirsty.

After a while, the people dispersed from the table. The Alpha helped me up, but instead of letting me walk, he scooped me into his arms. I gave a small yelp of surprise, which earned a chuckle from him. I didn’t bother complaining. It wouldn’t do any good.

He carried me into another car, where the werewolves had settled down with their human companions. I tried to avert my eyes from the sexual acts being preformed shamelessly, but I couldn’t help glancing. A werewolf had their cock down a human’s throat. Another werewolf was fingering open a human’s pussy lazily. When I saw a human bent over a table, a werewolf plowing into them with a strap on, I finally buried my face in the Alpha’s shoulder, closing my eyes.

I felt him chuckle as he moved to sit in one of the chairs, cradling me to his chest. My body buzzed with nerves as I expected him to start fucking me like the other werewolves were doing to their humans.

“Quite the cutie you’ve got there, boss,” someone said.

“Indeed,” the Alpha agreed, running his hand up my thigh as he spoke, sending a shiver through me, “No companion for this trip, Leo?”

“All the good ones were taken,” the man sighed sadly, “There should be a rule that no one can have more than a single human on these trips. Delilah claimed two.”

“You could always ask her to share.”

The man raised an eyebrow, “It’s Delilah.”

The Alpha chuckled, giving my thigh a small pat, “Indeed. My apologies. You know the rules of the train are outside my jurisdiction, Leo.”

“Well, yeah, but you’re the Alpha,” the man persisted, “As if they’d refuse you anything.”

“As I understand it, they are still perfecting the system. You may lodge a complaint if you wish.”

“Won’t help me get my dick wet today,” the man grumbled.

“Indeed not,” the Alpha agreed gravely.

“You know I helped you out with those rogue packs in the west,” he said.

“You did,” the Alpha said slowly, “I am grateful for your assistance. It was invaluable.”

“Invaluable enough that you would let me have a taste of that cute little thing in your arms?” Leo asked.

I inhaled sharply and pressed closer to the Alpha, weirdly seeking safety in his arms despite the situation.

“I am glad to share many resources with you, Leo,” the Alpha replied coolly, “I will listen to any request you have that would improve your life and the lives of those in your territory. But this human is mine for the next four days and I have no intention of sharing them.”

I let out a breath of relief, my body relaxing.

“Of course, Alpha,” the man said quickly, “Sorry. I… My apologies.”

“No harm done. It never hurts to ask,” the Alpha assured him, “I do hope you find company on this trip, my friend.”

“Thank you, sir,” he said before retreating.

“Are you alright, pup?” the Alpha murmured, stroking my cheek.

I pulled back so I could look up at him, “You’re not gonna share me?”

“No, I will not,” he said firmly, “You are mine.”

Something about the way he said that made me shiver. I glanced around the room. Lots of clothes had come off and more than a few pairs, or larger groups, were outright fucking. Yet the Alpha hadn’t done more than hold me.

“Are… are you going to do…” I swallowed and nodded to one of the nearer groups, “that… to me…?”

He tilted his head to the side thoughtfully, “Not here. Not in front of everyone, pup.”

I let out a breath of relief, though it was mitigated by the implication that he still would do it. That said, it was good to know that my violation wouldn’t be a public spectacle.

“Then… why are we here?” I asked in a small voice.

“Would you rather go back to my room now?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.

“No!” I said a little to loudly and quickly. I shrunk, feeling my face warm.

He chuckled and rubbed my thigh gently, “We are here for business purposes. I am waiting for someone to arrive, but they are running late. You are free to enjoy the show in the meantime.”

I glared at him and looked away from the groups of fucking people.

“You are not going to lean against me again?” he asked, sounding hurt, “I quite enjoyed that.”

“Sorry if your pleasure isn’t top of my priorities,” I muttered.

He gripped my chin, forcing me to look up at him. For a second, I thought he was angry, but he was smiling.

“Good,” he stated, “I like your fire, pup.”

Before I could respond, someone approached, “Alpha. Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“Not a problem,” the Alpha released my chin and gestured to the chair beside him, “I missed you at lunch.”

“You looked occupied,” they said as they took their seat, “I’ve never seen you with a human on these trips. This one must be pretty special.”

“Perhaps,” the Alpha said, “Though I admit, I usually am far too busy to even notice the offerings.”

“I can relate to that. Makes me glad I have a permanent human companion ready and waiting at home.”

“Did you wish to discuss humans or the trade routes from your territory, Rose?”

“My apologies, Alpha. One of our grain suppliers is short this season and…”

I didn’t listen to the rest of the conversation. My eyes were drawn again to the werewolves fucking their humans all around us. I wondered at why they would choose to have such an important meeting in a room clearly designated for sex. Though, I couldn’t help but notice how the werewolf, Rose, seemed to be enjoying watching the proceedings while they discussed their territory’s food supply.

While watching the other werewolves enjoying themselves, I felt the Alpha’s hand firm on my thigh, rubbing circles there. Even though it wasn’t between my legs, like the previous werewolf had done, I still felt arousal build.

I had an internal debate. There were basically two options. I could fight the Alpha, not let myself get aroused or enjoy it, and he would still probably take me. Or I could give in to the excitement I felt building between my legs, which would make it easier for him to fuck me and probably make it less painful. I didn’t know which option I’d be able to live with after the four days were up.

“Thank you, Rose,” the Alpha said, beginning to rise as he cradled me in his arms. “I will set the plans in motion right away. The wolves in your territory will not go hungry.”

“Thank you, Alpha,” they said, giving a bow.

The Alpha carried me through the train cars, back to his room. I felt fear grip my heart. Once we were in his room, he set me down on my feet.

“Ah, good,” he said, “Your things were delivered here.”

“My… my things?” I sputtered, rushing over to where my two travel cases were.

But the Alpha beat me to it. He lifted one of the suitcases up onto a table and unzipped it.

“Please don’t,” I said, “That’s… that’s mine. It’s private.”

He turned and raised an eyebrow at me, “Not on this train, pup.” He returned his attention to the travel case as he filled it open. “You seem to have planned an extended trip.”

“Stay out of that,” I said, moving and reaching to grab the case. My words were cut off when the Alpha wrapped a hand around my throat. Automatically, I gripped his wrist in both my hands, fruitlessly trying to pry him off me.

“What exactly do you not wish for me to find, pup?” he asked, his voice soft but with a dangerous edge.

“You… you have no right,” I choked out. His hand wasn’t squeezing tightly, but I found I was having trouble speaking under his harsh gaze.

“You signed away your rights,” he reminded me, “Now go sit on the bed.”

I glared up at him for several long moments before dropping my gaze and letting go of his wrist. Once I did, he released my throat. I rubbed my neck automatically as I moved to sit on the edge of the bed, watching fearfully as the werewolf dug through my belongings.

He systematically pulled out all my clothes, folding them and setting them aside. I couldn’t help the flush that spread over my face as he got to my underwear. I didn’t have fancy underwear or anything, but it still felt extremely invasive. To his credit, he didn’t make any lewd comments. He set the articles of clothing aside just as he had the rest.

When he finished going through the first travel case, he put everything back and moved on to the next. I shuffled uncomfortably as he unzipped it. Immediately, he raised an eyebrow. He reached into the case and pulled out a wand vibrator before looking at me questioning.

“You have a problem with vibrators?” I asked stiffly.

“Not at all,” he said with a chuckle, setting the device aside, “But my husband would chide you for buying such poor quality.”

“Husband?” I demanded, “You’re… married?”

He frowned at me, “That is hardly a secret. Many of your kind were upset to learn I was married to man.”

“Sorry, I don’t keep up with werewolf gossip,” I muttered, “I have more important things to do.”

“Clearly,” he nodded towards my travel case, “You packed quite thoroughly. Where are you going?”

I crossed my arms and pursed my lips.

“Or perhaps I should ask from what you are running,” he mused, “Regardless…” he returned my things to the case, “It seems you truly are just a traveler.”

“Did… did you think I was lying?” I asked, confused.

“I wondered if you had been sent to assassinate me,” he said, zipping up the case and setting it back on the ground.

“Why would I do that? And why me?”

He faced me, arms crossed as he frowned thoughtfully, “You truly did not know who I was, did you?”

I looked away, embarrassed.

“How did you come to be here, pup?”

“I’m not a pup,” I said through clenched teeth.

“Answer the question.”

“I… I needed a way to get across the country,” I muttered, “But I didn’t have enough money. This lady said there was a free train, I just had to sign a bunch of stuff. It was leaving soon, so I didn’t have time to read the contract and…”

“And now here you are.”

“Lucky me.”

“You are indeed getting a free train ride across the country.”

“Not free if I have to pay with my body.”

“A fair point,” he inclined his head, “Were you telling Robert the truth? You are virgin?”

I grimaced, “Not a fan of that word.”

He chuckled, “Then you and my husband would get along well. You are sexually inexperienced?”

I nodded reluctantly.

“I take it you are not unfamiliar with pleasure,” he said, nodding towards my travel case.

“Whatever you’re gonna do, why not just do it?” I demanded, “Get it over with.”

The Alpha raised an eyebrow, “I have no intention of rushing this. After all, it is your first time. I want to make it memorable.”

“I think my virginity being taken against my will by the Alpha werewolf will be pretty fucking memorable.”

He smiled, “For me, I mean.”

I glared at him.

“There is that fire,” he said, stepping towards me, “You are cute when you are scared and submissive, but I like your defiance.”

“Not used to people not bending to your every whim, Alpha?” I asked spitefully.

“Good,” he breathed, moving closer until he was right in front of me. He put his hand under my chin and tilted my face up, “Do you have more to say, pup?”

I breathed heavily, struggling for another cutting remark, but nothing came.

“A pity. Now will you undress yourself or shall I do it for you?”

I swallowed hard. And there we came to my choice… Did I made it easier on us all? Or did I fight him the whole way?

He waited patiently for my answer, as if he knew what debate was raging in my head.

“Please don’t do this,” I whispered.

“I will not hurt you, pup,” the Alpha said, his voice soft and gentle, “And if you allow yourself, you will enjoy it as well.”

“I don’t want to,” I said, feeling tears sting my eyes. “Please, Alpha.”

He didn’t say anything. He ducked down and pressed a kiss to my forehead before pushing me backwards to lay on the bed. I went without fighting him, struggling to keep my tears from falling. Once I was on my back, the Alpha pulled my shoes off and then gripped the waistband of my pants. I stared up at the ceiling as he pulled down my pants and underwear in one smooth motion.

“Hmm,” he rumbled, his warm hand finding my bare center, “You are positively soaked.”

I closed my eyes, gritting my teeth against the sensation of his touch.

“I know better than to say it means you want this,” he told me, his thick warm thumb rubbing slow circles over my clit as I forced myself to stay silent, “It is a natural reaction to stimuli and has nothing to do with what you do or do not want. It will, however, make this easier.”

I couldn’t help the whimper that escaped my lips as he pressed a finger into me.

“Have you ever had something inside you before?” the Alpha asked, his voice low and husky as his finger swirled within me slowly.

“Y-yes,” I choked out, my hands in tight fists on the bedsheets as I fought to stay still.

“Good,” he murmured, his hands leaving my pussy and traveling under my shirt, pushing it up to expose my belly. “Solo explorations, I imagine?”

“Just fuck me already,” I ground out.

He smiled, “There is that fire.”

I glared at him as he pulled my shirt off, over my head, leaving me completely bare. He hands ran up and down my sides, taking the time to run his thumbs over my stiffening nipples. I couldn’t suppress my shudder at the sensation.

Then he pulled back and began undoing the buttons of his shirt, “Play with yourself.”

“W-what?” I stuttered, sitting up and scooting back away from him on the bed.

“Pleasure yourself,” he said, “I want to see what you enjoy.”

“Why do you care what I enjoy?” I demanded, my voice more weary than angry, “This isn’t that complicated. I’m already… prepped. Just fuck me and be done.”

He raised an eyebrow, “You are not nearly prepared enough for me, pup.”

My eyes widened in horror at the implication of his words. I automatically glanced down at the bulge in his pants and swallowed dryly.

“I will make sure you can take me before I fuck you,” he said, “You can ease that along. If you truly wish for this to be over quickly, touch yourself. Show me what brings you pleasure.”

“Fuck,” I muttered, “Fine, but… I only ever use a vibrator.”

“You never use your fingers?” he asked.

“Not on… on my clit. It doesn’t feel as good.”

“Hmm,” he said, shrugging off his shirt and folding it before setting it aside. “Still, I want to see you touch yourself. Please, pup.”

I couldn’t help but gulp at the sight of his shirtless torso. He looked sizable with the suit on, but without it, I could see he was a large man. Chewing my lip anxiously, I reached down between my legs.

Fuck, I was wet. Way more so than I got in my quick vibrator sessions. I was soaking the bed sheets beneath me. At the feeling of my fingers on my clit, I let out a small moan.

“Good pup,” he murmured. His words reminded me that he was there and I quickly pulled my hand away, my face flushing.

The Alpha was fully bare, having finished undressing while I touched myself. My eyes were drawn immediately to his half hard cock. I didn’t have much, if any, experience with real penises but it looked intimidatingly large.

“Did I tell you to stop?” the Alpha asked, his hand wrapping around his length as he slowly began stroking himself.

“Please don’t do this,” I begged.

He frowned and stepped closer to the bed. I started to back away, but he gripped my ankle and dragged me towards him.

“No!” I tried to kick at him, but before I could land a hit, he was on me, his waist between my thighs, his heavy torso on mine, and his hands pinning my wrists to the bed. I felt his large, burning hot cock resting against my pelvis.

“If I need to restrain you, I shall,” he warned in a low voice, “Is this what you want, pup?”

A shudder ran through me. My body was reacting to his words and the feeling of his weight pressing down on me, the strength of him holding me still.

“Hmm,” he raised a curious eyebrow, “Perhaps you do indeed enjoy it.”

He moved my wrists to above my head so he could hold them in a single hand. His newly free hand ran down my body, stroking my breasts, my belly, and finally settling between my legs. I struggled against his hold as he began gently rubbing circles over my clit.

“Please don’t,” I begged in a small voice.

The Alpha ignored my plea and ducked his head to my neck. First he inhaled deeply and then he nibbled there, biting down gently. At the sensation I stilled and whimpered.

“Good pup.” he murmured against my neck and then he pressed a finger into me, while his thumb continued to work my clit. The Alpha continued to nibble and bite my neck.

My back arched off the bed as I felt his thick finger swirl within me.

“You are quite tight,” he said, his voice almost a growl. “Have you had anything my size before?”

I swallowed hard and squeaked out, “N-no… I don’t think so.”

“Good,” he replied and I felt him press a second finger into me.

I winced at the stretch. It was borderline painful.

“Relax,” he ordered, pulling back to look into my eyes as he finger fucked me, “Give in and this will be much easier for you.”

“Easier for you to assault me?” I said through clenched teeth.

He curled his fingers upward as his thumb pressed hard against my clit, making me let out a long moan as I felt an orgasm fast approaching.

“I will enjoy this regardless,” he told me, “You can enjoy it if you allow yourself.”

“St-stop,” I begged, my hips moving of their own accord as I neared the edge. “D-don’t!”

He released my wrists, instead using his hand to grab my breast, giving it a rough squeeze as he thrust his fingers against a sensitive bundle of nerves inside me.

“Fuck…” I moaned out, my legs automatically wrapping around his waist, my hands grappling at his arm for something to hold as pleasure washed over my body against my will. I felt my pussy convulsing rhythmically around his fingers as he continued to gently rub my clit, drawing out my orgasm.

He looked down at me as I panted, recovering from the experience, his fingers still deep inside me, his eyes full of lust.

“Am… am I wet enough for you now, Alpha?” I hissed with as much spite as I could in my breathless state.

“Hmm,” he mused, moving his fingers within me, making me whimper at the over-stimulation, “I think you may be. Do you feel ready for me, pup?”

“Just do it. Get it over with.”

“Alright,” he agreed, pulling his fingers from me and instead gripping his cock, stroking it and spreading my arousal on himself, “Would you like for me to take you like this?” he rubbed the head of his cock against my pussy.

I squirmed at the sensation.

“Or should I turn you over and fuck you from behind?”

My pussy clenched at his words and he smiled.

“From behind it is,” he said and before I could react, he grabbed me, and flipped me over.

“Hey!” I protested, starting to get up, but he pressed his hand between my shoulder blades, forcing my face into the mattress. A shudder ran through me at the sensation of being pinned, his body pressing close behind me.

His other hand wrapped around his cock, guiding it to rub through my folds, soaking him in my juices.

“Please, wait,” I begged breathlessly, fear suddenly gripping me, “N-not yet. Please, Alpha.”

“What happened to ‘get it over with’?” he asked, sounding amused.

“I’m not ready,” I said, feeling tears start to soak through the blanket under my cheek.

“Do you wish for me to prepare you further?”

I swallowed hard and said, “Y-yes. Please.”

“Good pup,” he murmured, his hand moving between my legs, his fingers entering me again.

With the new position, it felt different, eliciting a whimper from me. I closed my eyes tightly, trying to force my body to relax, to let him in. I didn’t want it to hurt. I didn’t want it to be more painful than it had to be.

“You are doing well,” the Alpha told me, the hand on my back beginning to rub soothing circles there, rather than holding me down.

The praise went straight between my legs, sending strange tingles of pleasure through me.

He worked three fingers into me, gently moving in and out, filling the air with lewd squelching noises. I felt a second orgasm beginning to build in my belly. I knew that if I managed to cum again, my inner muscles would tighten and penetration would be difficult for a time afterwards. I didn’t want to test his patience by asking him to wait longer.

“Okay,” I spoke up, my voice shaky. I hated myself for being party to my violation, but I knew it would be worse if I wasn’t, “I… I think I’m ready…”

“Good pup,” he said, bending over me and pressing a kiss to my shoulder, “Try to relax. I will be gentle.”

He ran a soothing hand over my back before he resumed rubbing his cock against me, lubricating it. Then he lined himself with my entrance and pressed forward. As I felt the stretch, fear overwhelmed me.

“No!” I started to struggle, but his hand came quickly down on my back, pressing me flat against the bed.

“Stay still,” he ordered, “I do not wish to hurt you, pup.”

My hands tightened into fists around the blanket beneath me as tears blurred my vision. He continued to enter me slowly and I felt myself open around him, molding to his shape. It didn’t hurt exactly, but it felt foreign and uncomfortable inside me.

Behind me, I heard him groan in pleasure. He didn’t stop until I felt his pelvis flush against my ass. Then he stilled, his breathing ragged. After a moment, he reached between my legs and rubbed my clit.

“Oh!” I gasped out, my pussy twitching around him at the sensation.

And then he moved. He pulled back slowly, all the while his fingers worked my clit. Before he was fully out, he pushed gently back in. The sensation of him reentering me smoothly and the stimulation of my clit pulled a moan from my lips.

He slowly built up speed, pulling out nearly all the way before thrusting forward. He couldn’t keep up pleasuring me while he moved. He instead gripped my hip, one hand still pinning me to the bed while the other provided him with more leverage.

Little sounds of pleasure escaped me every time he thrust back into my pussy. Without really thinking about it, I reached down to play with my clit, needing that stimulation to truly enjoy the feeling of him fucking me.

“Good pup,” he grunted.

I gave a small pleased whine at his words, happy with the praise. It sent zings of pleasure through me.

With his large cock opening me up, stimulating nerves I hadn’t know existed, and my hand rubbing my clit, it didn’t take long for my second orgasm to hit me. I moaned openly into the blankets under my face, my free hand knotting in them as my pussy clenched and convulsed around the Alpha.

He muttered something in a language I didn’t recognize, but his meaning was clear. He was close as well. He fucked me roughly before pressing forward, his cock twitching within me as I felt a warmth filling me.

He panted, his body curling over mine as he used one arm to brace himself against the bed.

The Alpha kissed my shoulder and murmured breathlessly, “You did well, my pup.”

I hummed contently, wiggling my hips against him. He groaned and held me still. He slowly pulled out and I winced at the loss. I felt his cum drip out of me and run down my legs.

Very carefully, he lifted me into his arms and I leaned my head against his bare chest. He gave a low chuckle that vibrated my body as he moved onto the bed. The Alpha reached for something beside the bed and then pressed a warm, damp cloth between my legs.

I grimaced and squirmed uncomfortably.

“Sshh, pup,” he soothed, “Let me take care of you.”

I relaxed, melting in his arms as he cleaned the mess from between my legs. When he was done, he put the cloth away and kissed my forehead.

“You were wonderful,” he murmured, cradling me to him.

I blinked quickly, the fog of pleasure receding from my head. My breathing sped up.

“Pup?” he questioned, sounding concerned.

“I’m… not your pup,” I whispered, wiggling to try to get out of his arms, but he tightened his hold.

“For the duration of this trip, you are,” he reminded me, “You belong to me, pup.”

“Fuck you,” I said, pushing weakly against his chest, “Let me go.”

He chuckled and gripped my chin, raising my face to look up at him, “There is that fire again.”

I jerked my chin free and glared at him.

“You cannot honestly deny that you enjoyed this,” he told me, “You gave yourself to me freely.”

“Because fighting you would hurt more,” I countered.

“Perhaps. I do not believe that is the full truth. Did I hurt you, pup?”

I swallowed hard and reluctantly said, “No.”

“Good,” he replied, “If I do, I wish for you to tell me.”

“Why does it matter?” I demanded, “You’re gonna fuck me no matter what.”

“I will do what I can to minimize your discomfort. You did well asking me to prepare you further. If you continue to cooperate in that way, we both shall greatly enjoy the remainder of our time together.”

“I’m used goods now, though,” I pointed out, “I’m not a virgin anymore.”

He raised an eyebrow, “You believe that was your appeal to me?”

“Wasn’t it?”

“Not in the way you think. I have no plans to toss you aside now.”

“Then what do you want?”

“I want to fuck you again,” he said simply, “I want you to cum on my cock over and over until you are incoherent.”

I swallowed dryly, my eyes wide.

“For now, however,” he began, “I think you should rest. We have two more nights together and after such an intense experience, I believe you need time to recover.”

His words made me truly process it… I’d had sex. Concerned, I reached a hand between my legs, as if to reassure myself that I was intact.

“Are you alright?” he asked, “Are you in pain?”

I shook my head, “No, but… was there blood?” I asked in a small voice.

His expression shifted into a kind smile, “No, pup. There was no blood.”

I let out a breath of relief. All my life, I’d been told my first time would be filled with blood and pain, but… it wasn’t. Whether that was due to my previous dildo usage or the Alpha’s thorough preparation, I didn’t know.

“Sleep, little one,” he murmured, kissing my forehead, “You are safe and cared for here.”

“I think we have different ideas of what safe means,” I mumbled, but I leaned my forehead against his shoulder regardless.

“Perhaps we do. Still, you can rest easy knowing I shall not touch you again tonight.”

Chapter Text

I woke slowly, feeling strangely cold. It took a few moments for me to remember where I was. When I did, I opened my eyes and looked around to find myself alone in the Alpha’s room. From the bathroom, I heard the shower running.

As my sleepy brain started to wake up, I realized… I was alone and unsupervised. Maybe I could escape the train.

Carefully, I got out of bed. I was completely naked, so I moved to where my travel cases were and retrieved my clothes. Once I was dressed, I went to the lone window in the room and looked out. The train was moving so fast that the morning landscape was a blur. There was no way I’d survive if I jumped off.

Just three more days, I reminded myself. Two more nights of… that.

“Oh, good. You are ready for the day,” the Alpha’s voice sounded from behind me.

I spun around and saw he had stepped out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around his waist as he used another to dry his long wavy hair. His hair had been tied back before but with it loose, I saw it fell just below his shoulders.

“Good morning, pup,” he greeted me, “Planning an escape?”

I glared at him but didn’t reply.

“The bathroom is yours,” he said, gesturing at the door as he moved to a dresser, “Please clean up a little before we go out for breakfast.”

Without responding, I moved to my travel case and got my toothbrush and toothpaste before stepping around his nearly naked body to get to the bathroom. As I passed him, he suddenly gripped my arm, eliciting a gasp from me.

I looked up at him fearfully, but he didn’t seem angry. He just bent down enough to press his nose into my hair and I heard him inhale deeply.

“You smell of me,” he murmured. He inhaled once more before releasing my arm, “Do not shower. I want my scent on you today.”

I swallowed hard and said, “Yes, sir.”

Before he could grab me again, I hurried into the bathroom. As ordered, I cleaned myself up enough to be presentable but didn’t bathe. When I emerged, he was wearing another suit, his long hair tied up neatly at the back of his head.

He looked me up and down and said, “Good enough. Come.” He held his hand out to me and reluctantly, I took it and let him lead me out of the bedroom.

As we made our way through the train, I lost my footing and he wrapped an arm around my waist to steady me, which also resulted in me being pressed closely to his side.

“I’m fine,” I hissed, trying to pull away from him.

He raised an eyebrow at me and then suddenly I found myself scooped up into his arms. I struggled at first, but it was useless.

“This is easier than attempting to keep you on your feet,” he remarked, sounding amused, “And I quite enjoy having you in my arms, pup.”

“Fuck you,” I muttered automatically, but then I caught myself, realizing maybe that wasn’t the thing to say to the man that held my life in his hands.

But he didn’t look angry.

“Someday, perhaps,” the Alpha said thoughtfully, “For the time being, I think I will be the one doing the fucking.”

My cheeks warmed and I looked away from him.

“Got you a wily one there, huh sir?” someone asked as we made our way into the dining car.

“Indeed,” the Alpha agreed as he set me down on my feet beside a chair, “Sit, pup.”

I obeyed, keeping my head down, and the Alpha sat beside me.

Like with the dinner the previous night, lots of werewolves, and only a few humans, were at the large table. A breakfast that smelled amazing was put in front of us and conversation buzzed around me.

“Please eat something, pup,” the Alpha whispered to me, “You will need your strength.”

I resisted the urge to glare at him. I couldn’t, however, resist the tempting meal. It was a fancier breakfast than I’d had in a very long time… if I’d ever had one so nice. Even so, I ate slowly, knowing I’d regret it if I started scarfing everything down.

While I ate, the Alpha spoke with other werewolves at the table about territories, vampires, supply lines. Lots of things that made no real sense to me. At a certain point, I realized I couldn’t eat another bite, so I leaned back in my chair.

“Finished?” the Alpha asked me quietly.

I nodded numbly, wishing I could eat everything on my plate but knowing I couldn’t.

“Drink more water,” he urged as he took my plate and just like with dinner, added the remnants of my meal to his.

With a resigned sigh, I obeyed and drank.

Before too long, everyone had finished their meal and began dispersing.

“I have a private meeting I must attend,” the Alpha told me as he got to his feet. Before I could say or do anything, he’d scooped me into his arms again and carried me through the train.

Like the previous day, he brought me to a sitting area where other idle humans waited, presumably for their werewolf overlords who also were otherwise occupied.

He set me down on my feet and kissed my forehead before saying, “Wait here for me, pup. And behave, please. This should not take long.”

I didn’t reply as he turned and left, but I saw the other humans watching with their jaws hanging open. I let out a breath and sat, crossing my arms protectively over my chest.

“Wow,” one of the humans said, the man I’d spoken to the previous day. “So… how was it?”

“How was what?” I mumbled, hugging myself.

“Sex with the Alpha,” he said in disbelief, “He’s a beast of a man… How big’s his…”

A person sitting beside him elbowed him and said “You can’t ask how big the Alpha’s dick is.”

“I’m just curious! Can’t a man dream?”

“He’s the Alpha,” the person said sternly, “I just think we should conduct ourselves accordingly.”

“Come on, he’s a werewolf just like the rest. He might be the big boss, but apparently he fucks like everyone else. And aren’t you the least bit curious why he picked now to take a human?”

“Not really,” they shrugged, “I think the why is obvious.”

The man frowned at them.

“He needs an heir at some point, doesn’t he?” they pointed out.

My eyes widened, horrified.

The man rolled his eyes, “Right, and the Alpha’s gonna pick some random whore to knock up. He’s the Alpha. If he wanted a breeding bitch, he’d have his pick.”

“I think he’s casting a wide net,” the person said simply, “With how hard it is for werewolves to reproduce, I wouldn’t blame him for spreading his seed as far as possible and seeing what takes. He’s not getting any younger.”

“Now who’s talking about the Alpha disrespectfully?” the man pointed out.

I’d already checked out of the conversation, my hand on my belly as the reality of the situation hit me. Pregnancy wasn’t something I’d considered. How it hadn’t crossed my mind, I didn’t know. Maybe because sex was always such an impossibility to me, a fantasy, that I’d never processed the real consequences of having it. The consequences hadn’t mattered because I wasn’t having sex.

But I had. Without protection.

I didn’t notice the Alpha’s approach until he was standing in front of me, offering his hand. My chattering companions had clammed up and were looking at the Alpha with awe. Mechanically, I took his hand and he led the way through the train. We didn’t go far before he stopped and pulled me into his lap as he sat.

“Something troubles you,” he murmured, cradling me against his chest.

“Are you trying to get me pregnant?” I breathed, my voice barely even a whisper as I stared unseeing at a wall.

He didn’t reply right away, but he shifted uncomfortably, “Why do you ask?”

I blinked and looked up at him, “The other humans… they think you are. Please, Alpha, I can’t afford to get pregnant. I…”

His expression seemed relieved as he looked down at me. He smiled and cupped my cheek.

“No, pup. I am not trying to impregnate you,” he said firmly.

“But we didn’t use any protection and—” I began anxiously.

“It is very difficult for werewolves to successfully reproduce in general,” he said in a soothing tone, “And I have taken steps in insure I will not accidentally cause you to become pregnant. You may rest easy, pup.”

“What steps?” I asked, “You didn’t pull out and I’m not on birth control and—”

“Pup,” his tone became more stern, “We may speak more on this later, but for now you need to trust that you are in no danger of acquiring an unwanted pregnancy from me.”

I opened my mouth to respond, but someone else spoke.

“Got another human trying to have your babies, Alpha?” the werewolf man asked with a laugh.

“Perhaps,” the Alpha looked to the man, “Jason, how is your territory fairing?”

I curled up against the Alpha’s chest as he spoke. Anxiety gripped me. Could I believe the Alpha? Surely he wouldn’t actually want to have offspring with a random human… but would he really care that much to stop it from happening?

As the Alpha held me, rubbing soothing circles on my thigh, he continued to speak to various werewolves. The room began to fill with other werewolves and their human companions. Everyone still had their clothes on, but I saw several hands between legs and under clothes. My hips squirmed of their own accord as I saw a man on his knees, his head level with his werewolf’s crotch. Not doing anything. Just sitting there submissively.

“Enjoying your virgin, Alpha?” a familiar voice sounded.

Nearby I saw the werewolf that had first grabbed me. He was lounging in a chair, his new human in his arms. The human was pressed against him, nibbling at his neck.

“I bet you had fun breaking them in,” he said with a chuckle.

I shuddered, remembering the feeling of his hands on me. I found myself grateful to be in the arms of the Alpha, who didn’t touch me intimately in public and had taken the time to properly prepare me for sex. Then I shook myself.

Grateful to the Alpha? He still had fucked me against my will. He still was holding me there.

“I take no pleasure in breaking anyone, Robert,” the Alpha said coolly, “But I have enjoyed my time with them thus far. I thank you again for allowing me to have them.”

“Of course, sir,” Robert said, his cocky expression giving way to a little bit of nervousness.

The Alpha held me a little tighter and I couldn’t help but feel comforted by that. He was protective of me. As much as I didn’t want him, at least I knew he wouldn’t let others touch me. I breathed a little easier, despite myself.

I didn’t want to feel safe in his arms. I didn’t want my body to relax as I laid my head against his chest, hearing and feeling his deep voice vibrate through me as he spoke to his fellow werewolves. But I couldn’t deny that’s what I felt.

He seems pleased. In the moments between conversations with werewolves, he murmured “good pup” to me, rubbing my thigh soothingly.

As much as possible, I avoided looking at anyone else in the room, but I could hear the activities. I could hear someone choking around a werewolf’s cock, though I squeezed my eyes closed and tried to ignore the sound. Still, my hips squirmed of their own accord as I saw the scene in my mind’s eye.

I was grateful when the Alpha finally rose, carrying me in his arms, and left to another train car. He settled down again, still cradling me. The second location was clearly more formal than the previous. There were a few humans accompanying their werewolf masters, but all clothes were on and like me, the humans were just being touched or held in ways that weren’t explicit.

The Alpha spoke seriously to the werewolves there. From what I gathered, it was in regards to the tenuous peace between werewolves and vampires. I didn’t listen. I was focused on breathing and surviving as I pressed my forehead against the Alpha’s shoulder, eyes closed. Two more nights and I’d be free.

A voice cut through my thoughts.

“Sir, I’m afraid you’re not seeing the full picture here,” a werewolf said, his voice full of forced patience, “All due respect, but I feel you have a blind spot when it comes to vampires.”

Around me, I felt the Alpha’s body tense. He was silent for a beat before answering carefully.

“I understand why you may believe that,” he said slowly and politely, “However, I assure you I approach this subject without bias. To insure this, as I said yesterday, I have formed a committee. It consists of people from many different backgrounds to be certain we cover a wide range of perspectives. If you feel that my views are influenced by my own biases, you are free to contact the committee members and voice your concerns to them.”

“Yes, sir,” the man replied, seeming unconvinced but unwilling to push the issue further.

“Now, if you will excuse me,” the Alpha said, rising and carrying me with him, “I have other matters to address.”

To my surprise, the Alpha carried me back to his room. He set me down on my feet.

“I am having lunch brought here,” he told me, gesturing to the small eating nook, “Please sit. It should be here shortly.”

I nodded and obediently sat, hanging my head and hugging myself. I felt oddly cold not being held by the warm werewolf.

“Can… can I ask you something?” I questioned in a small voice.

He pulled up the chair opposite from me and sat, giving a nod.

“Why would you have a bias towards vampires?” I whispered, “Aren’t werewolves and vampires supposed to hate each other?”

He gave a small smile, “That is indeed the stereotype. However, there is no biological reason for us to be enemies. Historically, werewolves and vampires have gone to war with each other over territories but there is no need for that in our modern age.”

“But… vampires kill people. I thought werewolves valued human life. Even if you don’t value their autonomy,” I added in a bitter mutter.

The Alpha laughed lightly, “Vampires are not as evil as the media would like you to believe. All the deaths at the hands of vampires are sensationalized, but they are becoming less and less common. Throughout history, vampires had to hide their existence and the best way to do that was to kill the humans on which they fed. Now, for the most part, vampires can live openly and are able to feed on humans that give their consent, or have otherwise sold themselves into vampire possession.”

“Then why are vampires still killing people at all?”

The Alpha inhaled deeply as he frowned in thought, “I suspect some of the deaths were in self defense. You certainly know that many humans attack vampires out of hate and fear. Other deaths… I know that many are done by vampires in desperate situations. Some vampires have difficulty finding humans to feed on consensually and it leads to starving vampires so that when they finally do find a human, they are unable to stop themselves before killing them.”

There was a knock on the door that made me jump.

The Alpha rose and moved to answer it. There were a few words exchanged and then the Alpha returned to the table with two plates in hand. He set one in front of me.

“I am working with people to help prevent vampires from becoming that desperate,” the Alpha told me as he settled down to eat, “And thus far, we have seen a drastic decrease in human deaths at the hands of vampires.”

“Oh…” I said, processing all that as I numbly picked up my fork.

“Are you scared of vampires, pup?” the Alpha asked, his voice gentle.

“A little,” I admitted.

“Understandable,” he told me, “But you can rest assured I am doing all I can to prevent vampire attacks.”

I nodded, slowly beginning to eat. My stomach was still tense so I knew I wouldn’t be able to finish the meal. I suspected the Alpha wouldn’t mind and would probably take what I couldn’t eat, as he had twice before.

We ate in silence for a few minutes before he spoke, “I owe you an explanation.”

I blinked, looking up at him in surprise. I wouldn’t think the Alpha would think he owed me anything.

“You are not at risk of becoming pregnant because I am sterile,” he told me.

I coughed a little, trying not to choke on the bite I’d been chewing as the words startled me. Once I’d safely swallowed, I stuttered out, “Sterile? You?”

He gave an amused smile, “Yes. Me. I did not want to say that in mixed company, but this room is soundproofed. I would prefer if you kept this information to yourself.”

I nodded, feeling dazed.

“But… you’re the Alpha…” I breathed.

“Other male werewolves may pride themselves on their virility, but I do not. However, I do have concerns that it would make them think less of me and so I would prefer it not become public knowledge.”

“R-right,” I agreed quickly, “Sorry, I just… You’re sure?”

“I admit, I am not certain of the cause of my infertility,” he told me, “But after running many tests, I can assure you that the odds of fertilization are extremely low, if not nonexistent.”

“W-why are you telling me this?” I asked nervously, “If you don’t want people knowing…”

“I saw your fear of pregnancy,” the Alpha said, his voice gentle, “I did not want you to worry unnecessarily.”

I shifted uncomfortably in the chair, “Well… thanks. I appreciate that. I won’t tell anyone.”

“Thank you, pup,” he said, inclining his head. “I also must apologize to you. When you brought it up, I assumed it was because you wanted to bear my offspring.”

I wrinkled my nose.

He chuckled, “It was admittedly a silly assumption, given everything else. However, you must understand that there are many that would do nearly anything to be in your position and potentially carry my child.”

“Lucky me,” I grumbled, stabbing at a piece of meat with my fork.

“Would you rather be in the hands of Robert?” he asked.

I shuddered and set down my fork, pushing the plate away as I suddenly lost my appetite.

“He certainly would have quite enjoyed taking your virginity,” the Alpha said, grabbing my abandoned plate and adding my leftovers to his meal.

“And you didn’t?” I accused, crossing my arms over my chest protectively.

“I enjoyed being with you,” he said simply, “Your inexperience played no role in that.”

“Then why’d you pick me?” I demanded.

He took a bite, chewing slowly as I glared at him.

“You should drink more water,” he reminded me. He poured me a glass and set it in front of me.

“You’re really not gonna tell me why you picked me instead of leaving me to that other guy?” I asked, reluctantly taking the glass and drinking.

“You appealed to me,” he said simply. “I have no answer beyond that.”

I slowly drank a few gulps while he ate before I said, “The others… According to them, you never take a human companion.”

“Is there a question in that statement?” he asked.

“Why now? Why me? If not because of my virginity, then why me?”

“You appealed to me,” he repeated, setting his fork and knife down on his empty plate and leaning back in his seat to look at me, “I would like to ask you a few questions now.”

I fought back a groan.

“Where are you going?”

“Across the country,” I said with a shrug.

“Clearly. Do you have a location in mind?”

“If I do, I’m not telling you.”

He gave an amused smile, accompanied by a raised eyebrow, “Do you fear I will stalk you after the end of this trip?”

“Maybe. Either way, it’s not your business. Once my contract’s up, I’m no longer in your jurisdiction, Alpha.”

“Indeed,” he agreed, “May I ask why you are running across the country?”

I swallowed hard and looked away.

“Hmm,” he mused, “Well, we have a few more minutes before I am needed for a meeting. Is there anything else you wish to speak of?”

“You didn’t ask my name,” I pointed out.

He smiled, “I know your name. I acquired your information from the director when I asked for your luggage. However, I intend to continue calling you pup.”

I shuddered, not liking the feelings the label caused within me.

“You in turn have not asked my name,” he stated.

I frowned. Surely I knew his name already… He was on the news all the time… but I couldn’t remember anyone calling him anything but Alpha.

“Come, pup,” he said suddenly as he got to his feet, “I have a meeting.”

I was getting a little too used to being carried everywhere and held by the Alpha. During his meeting, I sat in his lap, one of his arms keeping me pressed against him while I rested my head on his shoulder. Unfortunately not every werewolf was being as chaste with their human companions.

As much as I tried not to look, my eyes were drawn to a werewolf that had a human knelt in front of him. It took me a minute to process the scene. The werewolf was Robert, the man that had previously claimed me before the Alpha had, and the human woman had his cock deep in her throat. She wasn’t moving, just cockwarming him in her mouth as he gripped her hair tightly.

The werewolves spoke as if there weren’t many lewd acts being preformed in the room, including Robert and the Alpha. But I couldn’t draw my eyes away from the woman. I desperately fought the arousal the sight caused in me. I urged myself to look away.

Then I noticed Robert catch my eye. He grinned and slowly he began moving the woman’s head back and forth on his cock, not breaking eye contact with me. My body felt hot and uncomfortable as I watched him pleasure himself with the human’s mouth. He moved slowly, leisurely, until he suddenly gripped her head with both hands and forced his cock even deeper, causing her to cough and sputter around him, her hands pushing at him in a fruitless attempt to free herself to breathe. After a few moments, he grunted, releasing himself down her throat before letting go of her head. She pulled herself off him, cum dripping from her lips as she coughed and sucked in shaky breaths.

I blinked and cleared my throat, hiding my face in the Alpha’s chest as I tried to forget what I’d just seen… and how it made me feel.

The Alpha’s hand had continuously stroked my thigh and where before it did little for me, suddenly the sensation sent zings of pleasure through me. I fought back a whimper and gripped the Alpha’s suit jacket, desperate to cling to something to stabilize myself emotionally.

I didn’t want to be turned on by seeing Robert face fuck someone. I didn’t want to be turned on by the Alpha’s hand on my thigh. I didn’t want to be there. I didn’t want to feel any of it.

Suddenly the Alpha’s hand gripped my hip tightly, “Not here, pup.”

I inhaled sharply when I realized I’d been grinding on his lap.

“Is your human feeling neglected, Alpha?” Robert’s voice rang out.

I closed my eyes tighter, pressing my face more firmly into the Alpha’s chest. If the Alpha responded, I didn’t hear. I just braced myself and tried to keep still and ignore my body’s arousal. I focused on my breathing. In and out. In and out.

Except, in breathing so deeply, I was taking in the Alpha’s scent. Warm and rich… comforting and arousing…

I whined and squirmed in his lap, gripping his jacket tighter.

Then suddenly I was scooped into the Alpha’s arms as he stood.

“Please excuse me, gentlemen,” the Alpha said, “I think I will skip dinner tonight. We will speak more at breakfast.”

He carried me to the bedroom and set me down in front of the bathroom door. I looked up at him, fearful and apologetic and embarrassed.

The Alpha smiled gently down at me, cupping my cheek in his large warm hand. I moaned, leaning into his touch.

“Shower,” he ordered, “The smell of other werewolves is clinging to you.”

“Then you’re gonna fuck me?” I asked, not sure if I was asking out of fear or desire.

“Then I am going to fuck you,” he confirmed before kissing my forehead, “Do not take too long, pup.”

I swallowed hard and nodded my agreement before moving into the bathroom, closing the door behind me.

As I showered, tears fell freely down my cheeks. I didn’t want it. I didn’t. Like he’d said the previous night, it was a response to stimuli. Robert had purposefully done things to excite me. It wasn’t my fault. It didn’t mean I wanted it.

I emerged from the bathroom, wearing nothing but the white fluffy towel wrapped around me. I fought back a gasp as I saw the Alpha was already completely naked, reclining on the bed with his hand wrapped around his considerable cock as he stroked himself. My arousal had mildly abated during my shower, but it came back in full force at the sight.

He held out his free hand to me, “Come, pup.”

For a moment, I hesitated. My eyes went to the door. But what waited out there for me? Robert who would forcibly choke me on his cock? I looked back to the Alpha, who was waiting patiently. He had been gentle so far, but I didn’t know if that would change.

“You will not find a more considerate partner out there,” the Alpha said, clearly knowing where my thoughts were.

I let out my breath in a whoosh before I moved towards the bed. He sat up and reached for me as I approached, quickly unwrapping the towel from around my body before pinning me below him on the bed, his waist between my legs and his cock rubbing against my abdomen as he ducked his head into the crook of my neck, inhaling deeply.

He muttered something in another language against my skin before pulling back and looking down at me.

“What position would you like to try tonight?” he asked.

“Please don’t,” I begged, “I don’t want this.”

He gave a small sigh, “I know. You seemed to enjoy it from behind last night, but I would like to try something different.”

One of his hands went between my legs and I tried to grab him to stop him, but he quickly gripped my wrists and pinned them above my head.

“Do you not wish for me to prepare you?” he asked as I struggled against his hold.

“I’m not a virgin anymore,” I pointed out.

“You still need preparation,” he said, “Any penetration requires some amount of preparation to avoid discomfort.”

His fingers found my center and I felt him press a single finger inside me, making me hiss at the sensation.

“You are quite wet,” he said, “But tense. If I took you now, it would hurt. I would rather wait until you relaxed and gave in to the pleasure.”

A small sob escaped me as I stopped fighting him. It was useless no matter what. He was going to fuck me. There was no reason to make it more painful for myself.

“Good pup,” he murmured as he moved his finger within me.

I whimpered in pleasure.

“Did you enjoy watching Robert take his companion’s mouth?” the Alpha asked as he moved his finger in and out of me.

“N-no!” I protested, trying to pull my wrists free again.

“Your body responded strongly when he held her down,” the Alpha pointed out, “When she struggled against him. Perhaps you like the idea of being taken against your will.”

“Fuck off,” I hissed at him, “Just do what you need to do and be done with it. Don’t psychoanalyze me.”

“I am only trying to discover what you respond most to. That will make this easier.”

“Don’t,” I said.

“As you wish, pup,” he said before adding a second finger inside me.

I gasped, my back arching off the bed.

“I will only do what is necessary for my pleasure, then,” the Alpha told me.

He moved his fingers within me for a little while before adding a third finger.

I whimpered and squirmed in discomfort. The stretch was too much too fast.

“Wait, wait,” I panted.

He pulled his fingers from me, looking down at me expectantly.

“Sl-slower,” I requested, “Please. That… that hurt.”

He smiled gently and nodded, “Good pup.”

I braced myself as I felt him enter me again, but it was only two fingers. He moved slowly, swirling them within me, just barely stretching me open. I relaxed, giving in to the pleasurable sensation. He released my wrists and used his other hand to press firmly against my clit, making me gasp and squirm, in pleasure instead of discomfort.

“Would it help for you to come before I fuck you?” he asked.

I swallowed hard and shook my head, “It… oh fuck,” I gasped out as he rubbed my clit, “Penetration is… harder afterwards…”

He nodded his understanding and while he stimulated my clit, I felt him add a finger. I winced at the stretch, but it didn’t hurt. In fact, the sensation drove me close to the edge.

I grabbed his wrist, pulling his hand away from my clit and instead pressing his palm to my chest. He gave a low chuckle and started kneading my breasts gently while his fingers stretched me. Even without his hand on my clit, my orgasm was approaching quickly.

“N-now,” I told him nervously.

He pulled his fingers from me, leaving me feeling bereft but only for a moment before he lined his cock up with my entrance. I clutched his arm for support as he pressed into me. No amount of opening me up with his fingers would have fully prepared me for his size. I inhaled sharply as he slowly eased into me.

“Good pup,” he murmured, “Taking me so well.”

I whined at his praise, feeling my body relax, letting him in deeper. Soon, he was pressed fully against me. He stilled, looking at my face with concern. I moved my hips, seeking friction and he smiled before gripping my hips with both hands and beginning to fuck me.

It was a completely different experience to be face to face while he thrust into me. To be able to see his face, feel him above me. I reached for him, gripping his arms and feeling his firm muscles move as he lifted my hips to meet his thrusts, my nails digging slightly into his skin as I gripped him tightly.

He pulled out suddenly and I looked up at him with wide, disappointed eyes.

The Alpha chuckled and kissed my forehead, “Do not fret, my little pup. We are just getting started.”

To my surprise, he moved to lay back on the bed and pulled me up to straddle his waist, his hardness rubbing against my pussy.

“Oh, no,” I shook my head and tried to get off him, but he held my hips in place. “Please. I can’t… I can’t be on top.”

“I think you can,” he said, angling his hips up slightly to grind against me. I fought back a moan at the sensation. “Take me inside you, pup.”

“I don’t know what I’m doing,” I told him.

He smiled and lifted me up slightly, “Line my cock up with your entrance.”

I glared at him and tentatively took his erection in my hand. It was warm and moist with my arousal. Carefully I aimed it for my pussy.

“Now sink down on it slowly,” he told me.

As I did, it slipped out of place.

“I can’t do it,” I told him, “I’ve tried this with dildos and I just can’t.”

He grinned, “So this is a position you wanted to try.”

“I hate you,” I informed him.

“I am quite aware. Here…” he used one hand to hold his cock in place, “Now sink down.”

Very reluctantly, I lowered myself onto him. I gasped and froze as I felt him enter me.

“Good pup,” he murmured, gripping my hips and forcing me to sink all the way onto him, causing his cock to fill me completely. “Now ride me.”

I shook my head and squirmed uncomfortably, “Can’t you just fuck me from behind again?”

“I could,” he acknowledged, “But I like this view.”

I felt my body warm at the compliment. I’d never thought of myself as particularly attractive. Yet there was a man that wanted to see me. All of me. And he wasn’t even just a man. He was the Alpha werewolf. And he wanted me.

Filled with that little bit of confidence, I tentatively began to move.

“Oh,” I breathed. The new position allowed me to grind my clit against his pelvis as his cock filled me.

It wasn’t hard to get into a comfortable rhythm of grinding back and forth against him, my hands resting on his chest for balance. He held my hips, but didn’t control my movement at all. After a little time of enjoying the sensation, I stilled and my face grew warm as I remembered that I was supposed to be pleasuring the Alpha. That’s what I was there for, after all.

“Is… is there anything I can to make this better for you?” I asked tentatively.

He smiled and shook his head, “You are doing perfectly. Do not stop, pup.”

I swallowed hard and nodded, trying to force down my self-consciousness as I resumed my movements. It felt so good, his hardness pressing just right, rubbing against what I had to assume was my g-spot though that wasn’t something I’d ever found before, while my clit was pressed against his body.

I whimpered and leaned forward to rest my forehead against his shoulder. He wrapped his arms around me, not holding me still as I continued to grind on him. Just holding me. My orgasm wasn’t a big crashing wave, but a slow build as I bore down on him, my hands clutching his upper arms. I felt my pussy clench around him and he groaned below me, his arms tightening around me.

“Good pup,” he murmured, rubbing my back as I came back down to earth from my climax. “You did well.”

I gave a content hum as I cuddled into his chest, his cock still buried in my twitching hole. I felt like I never wanted to move again. I was full and sated and oddly comfortable.

Then the reality of the situation hit me. He hadn’t finished.

“Ssshh, pup,” he murmured, stroking his hand down my back. He must have sensed my sudden tension, “Tell me when you have recovered.”

“Wh-what are you gonna do?” I asked nervously.

“I have yet to decide,” he stated, “Do you have suggestions?”

“No. I don’t know what you like.”

“What do you enjoy, pup?” he asked.

“None of it,” I grumbled, started to get uncomfortable in the intimate position.

He helped me off him. I winced as his cock slid free with a lewd, wet pop. Once he was no longer inside me, I laid back on the bed, breathing hard. He propped himself up on his elbow to look down at me, running a finger over my cheek and then my lips.

“May I kiss you?” he asked.

My face warmed and I said with a suddenly dry mouth, “I’d rather you didn’t.”

“Alright,” he agreed.

I frowned, “Really? You’ll fuck me if I ask you not to but you won’t kiss me?”

“What position would be most comfortable for you?” he asked, ignoring my question.

Accepting I wasn’t going to get an answer, I considered.

“F-from behind,” I muttered.

He smiled, “That is my preferred position as well.”

“Of course,” I rolled my eyes and he raised a questioning brow, “You’re a werewolf. Doggy style?”

He was silent for a moment and I worried I offended him, but then he gave a hearty laugh. “I cannot argue with that logic. Though, I have to admit it is more enjoyable in my werewolf form.”

My eyes widened and my face burned, “You have sex in your werewolf form?”

“I do,” the Alpha confirmed. I didn’t have time to ask if he intended to do that with me before he spoke again. “Have you recovered?”

I let out a long breath as I assessed how I felt. “I… I think so.”

He got up from the bed and held his hand out for me. I sighed and let him help me up. To my surprise, he arranged a few pillows in front of me.

“Test that out. Make sure you will be comfortable,” he told me.

Confused, I bent over the bed, using the pillows to give my body more support at the awkward angle. The Alpha ran his hand up and down my back as I adjusted my position to be more comfortable.

“How is that?” he asked softly.

“It… it’s fine,” I said nervously, feeling oddly disconcerted by his concern for my comfort.

The Alpha took his place behind me, one hand still rubbing my back soothingly as the other searched between my legs. I inhaled sharply and pressed my face into the pillow as he touched my clit. I still felt a little sensitive from my orgasm.

“Should we wait longer?” he asked, his voice soft.

I shook my head, not looking at him. I was tired and just wanted to be done.

“As you wish,” he murmured. He pressed two fingers inside me and I struggled to not tense up. I winced when he added a third finger, but since he’d already fucked me, it wasn’t that much of a stretch. After fingering me for a short while, he pulled out and replaced them with his cock.

I let out a long moan as he sunk easily into me, filling me in a different way then he had in either of the other positions. He stilled as he waited for me to adjust, but he didn’t seem to want to wait long. Within a few moments, he started fucking me. I clutched the pillow below me, using it to muffle my whimpers of over stimulation as his length dragged along my sensitive nerves.

The Alpha pressed a hand between my shoulder blades, forcing my head deeper into the pillow and angling my rear higher up as he plowed into me. I didn’t want to enjoy the feeling. I didn’t want to like his heavy hand on my back or his hard cock bullying its way into my body. I didn’t want to savor the warmth of his body behind me, the tickle of his body hair, and the slap of his balls on my clit. I didn’t want to like it.

But I did. I liked it a lot.

I reached my hand down to find my clit, but he grabbed my wrist and pinned it to the bed. I whimpered and struggled against him. I ached and needed stimulation in the right place to truly enjoy it. But there was no give to the Alpha’s grip.

“Please,” I whined, but his only response was a low growl from deep in his chest that send tingles of pleasure through me.

He didn’t slow down. He continued to pound me, rough and hard, into the mattress. Until finally he bent over my back, his chest pressing against my skin, as he wrapped an arm around my middle to hold me to him, his other hand finding my clit.

I came almost instantly as his rough hand rubbed me while he continued to thrust shallowly, hitting just the right spots.

“Mine,” he growled in my ear before I felt his teeth on my neck. I felt him bite my skin, but my brain didn’t process it as pain, only pleasure.

As my orgasm was drawn out by his hand on my clit, I felt him twitch inside me and fill me with his cum.

I went limp in his arms, breathing hard. After a few moments, he pulled out of me carefully before scooping me into his arms and moving onto the bed, cradling me to him. I noticed he too was panting. Though, he confused me by covering his eyes with his hand, his expression seeming… upset.

Anxiety filled me, quickly pushing away the post orgasm peace.

“Did I do something wrong?”

He pulled his hand away from his face, looking at me with sympathetic eyes, “No, pup. You were wonderful.”

“You’re angry?” I questioned.

He shook his head and eased me to lay on the pillows before reaching for something on the bedside table, “Not with you, pup.”

I frowned, confused.

He retrieved a warm washcloth and kissed my forehead as he cleaned his spend from between my legs. I winced at the sensation.

“Are you in pain?” he asked.

“No, just sensitive,” I told him, “Why are you angry?”

He didn’t answer right away. Not until he was finished cleaning me. After he put the washcloth away, he gestured at my shoulder.

I put my hand there and flinched in pain. It was where he had bitten me.

“I am sorry for that,” he told me, rising from the bed, “I think I have some ointment that will prevent an infection.”

He moved to where some of his luggage was and dug a few items out. When he returned, he had a tube of medicated ointment and bandages in hand.

“Turn on to your other side,” he told me.

Tentatively, I turned to the side of my uninjured shoulder, putting my back to him so he could better reach the bite. I felt him clean the small wound, which stung a little.

“This will be uncomfortable,” he warned and then he applied the ointment. I hissed in pain as I felt it burn. Then he taped a bandage over it.

“Why are you being so nice?” I asked, still facing away from him.

“You are in my care.”

I shook my head, “I don’t like it.”

“Being in my care?” he questioned.

I turned my head to look at him, my brow furrowed, “I don’t like how… confused you’re making me.”

“Ah,” he nodded, rising from the bed and moving to return the items to his travel case. “I am sorry for that, pup.”

I sat up, “I’m not a pup. Why do you call me that?”

“You should try to sleep,” he said, ignoring my question. “Tomorrow is our last full day together. One more night and you can continue with your life.”

“Can I make one request?”

“Of course,” he agreed.

“Stop being so nice.”

He frowned deeply, “I am not certain I can. I have no wish to hurt you.”

“You are hurting me,” I told him firmly, “I don’t want to have sex and you’re forcing me to. At least be honest about that.”

“You are asking me to not care at all for your comfort or well being?”

“You don’t care,” I argued, “If you did, you wouldn’t do this.”

He looked at me thoughtfully for several long moments.

“If you wish to be with someone who cares nothing for your well being, you are welcome to leave my possession,” he stated. “I understand what you are saying, but I have no intention of changing my behavior either direction. I want you, pup. I want to care for you and I want to fuck you. I will leave it up to you whether you wish to remain as my companion or if you wish to seek out an alternative. Now… you need rest. Would you like to stay here tonight?”

I looked at the door.

Was he serious? I could just… go?

But where? To Robert? To any of the other werewolves that had no qualms about fucking their humans in front of everyone?

“I… I’ll stay here for now,” I told him.

He gave a nod and climbed into bed next to me, holding his arm out invitingly. I sucked in a deep breath and curled up against his side as he wrapped his arm around me.

Chapter Text

I felt cold again when I woke. I was alone in bed and once again the shower was running. I laid on my back, staring at the ceiling as I remembered the previous night. The Alpha had been so kind and so considerate… and he still had used my body against my will.

And I’d enjoyed it.

Being so lost in my own thoughts, I didn’t hear when the shower turned off. The bathroom door opened and the Alpha stepped out, wearing only a towel around his waist, his long hair already neatly tied up behind his head.

“Good morning, pup,” he greeted me as he moved to retrieve his clothes. “The bathroom is yours.”

I didn’t move.

He frowned, but dressed without making a further comment. Once he was dressed and I still hadn’t moved, he joined my side, looking down at me with concern.

“Do you not feel well?”

I shook my head.

“We skipped dinner,” he pointed out, “If you are light headed, perhaps you should eat something. I can assist you in washing up and dressing, if you wish.”

That had me moving. The last thing I wanted was him helping me.

“I’m fine,” I said, getting up, clutching the blanket to me to cover my bare body. When I got to my feet, the room started spinning and I swayed unsteadily.

The Alpha put his hands on my waist, keeping me from falling.

“I’m… fine,” I repeated, though my shaky voice disagreed with my words.

“Alright,” he nodded, stepping back carefully, “Please call for me if you need help, pup.”

I let out an unhappy huff as I moved around him, still clutching the blankets to cover myself, to the bathroom. It was pointless, I knew. He’d seen every part of me. But it made me feel better. I worked slowly in the bathroom, still feeling a little dizzy and unsteady.

I grimaced as I remembered I hadn’t gotten any clothes. They were still out in the bedroom. Steeling myself, I stepped out.

The Alpha was on the phone, speaking in that foreign language I’d heard him use a few times. I had no idea what it was. A few words sounded familiar, but I couldn’t place them.

On the bed sat fresh clothes, neatly folded.

I dressed as quickly as I could given my unsteady state. The Alpha wasn’t paying attention to me as he spoke on the phone, for which I was grateful. He hung up once I was fully clothed and turned to me.

“You will feel better when you have eaten,” he told me, “May I carry you?”

“I can walk,” I said.

“I am not certain you can. If you are light headed, the movement of the train will not do you any favors,” he pointed out, “Please, pup?”

“Fine,” I conceded reluctantly as the train gave a lurch.

“Thank you,” the Alpha said, scooping me up into his arms.

“You just like carrying me,” I accused as he moved to the door.

“I do,” he admitted, “But it has its practical uses as well.”

He paused at the doorway.

“Pup, keep your injury hidden,” he told me.

“My… injury?”

“The bite,” he clarified, “No one needs to know I marked you.”

“Marked me?” I questioned.

“Please,” he requested, “Do not mention it to anyone for the remainder of the journey and do not let others see.”

I nodded my agreement, still confused.

With that, he carried me out of the bedroom, through the train, and to the dining car. The meal was already in full swing when we arrived and the Alpha set me down and pulled a chair back for me before taking his own seat at my side.

“Slept in a bit, Alpha?” one of the werewolf women teased.

“I lost track of time,” he admitted with a polite smile, “Have I missed anything?”

“We were just talking about the human election coming up next year,” another werewolf said as plates of food were put in front of me and the Alpha.

I didn’t hear the rest of the conversation. The Alpha had been right, unfortunately. I was extremely hungry after several days of not eating much and then skipping the evening meal. After a few bites of breakfast, I was already feeling better. I also remembered to drink water without the Alpha reminding me.

Because we had arrived to breakfast after everyone else, a lot of them dispersed before the Alpha and I finished our meals. Unlike previous days, I completely cleaned my plate with nothing for the Alpha to finish for me.

“I have a private meeting shortly,” the Alpha informed me as he stood, “Are you feeling better?”

I nodded as I rose too.

“Do you want to walk or may I carry you?” he asked.

Fighting the urge to roll my eyes, I said, “If you want, you can carry me.”

He smiled and scooped me up. It was easier, anyways. Even if it was undignified. I did indeed have trouble walking through the moving train at the best of times, and even though I felt more steady, I couldn’t be sure that would last.

The Alpha carried me through the train to where the humans sat and waited for their otherwise occupied werewolves. There was only one human there. A woman who had a compact mirror out as she fixed her makeup. She looked vaguely familiar.

“This may take some time,” the Alpha warned, “Will you be alright here?”

“Do I have a choice?” I asked in a mumble.

He frowned, “Unfortunately no. I cannot leave you unsupervised in my bedroom. Still, if you are feeling unwell, there is medical staff on hand.”

“I’m fine.”

“Alright. I will try to be quick.”

With that, the Alpha left.

The woman closed her mirror with a snap and looked over at me, “Did you just sass the Alpha?”

I crossed my arms protectively over my chest, “Maybe.”

“You’re braver than me,” she said, shaking her head in disbelief. She straightened up suddenly, her eyes focused ahead. I followed her gaze and saw a werewolf man approaching. My blood ran cold as I recognized him.

“Making friends, are we?” Robert said, looking between me and the woman.

I realized why she looked familiar. She was the human Robert had claimed after the Alpha took me from him.

“Did the Alpha abandon you, my dear?” he asked.

“He… had a meeting,” I stuttered out nervously, not sure if I should even be talking to him.

“Aw,” he pouted, “Well, if you’re lonely, you’re welcome to join me.”

The woman looked between me and the man, seeming aghast but unwilling to say anything.

“I’m… I’m claimed by the Alpha,” I whispered, fear filling me.

He made a show of looking around, “I don’t see him here. If he really wanted to keep you to himself, he’d have you by his side. Instead he left you here for anyone to grab. Besides, he got what he wanted from you, did he? Fucked away that precious virginity. He’s probably just keeping you around out of obligation now. He’d probably be glad for me to take you off his hands.”

Even though everything the Alpha said and did disproved Robert’s words, they still hurt. Even though I knew the Alpha was possessive of me… he still was going to toss me aside at the end of the trip. Not as quickly as Robert posited, but still…

“Aw, see,” Robert intoned sympathetically, holding out a hand to me, “He might not want you, but I do.”

For a moment, I was tempted. I knew the Alpha would be upset by it and part of me wanted to hurt him. He deserved to be hurt, didn’t he? After what he did to me… But my fear of Robert was stronger than my want for vengeance. I stayed seated and turned my head away from him.

A growl startled me and suddenly I found myself pulled to my feet by rough hands.

“Don’t you turn your fucking back on me,” Robert growled, dragging me across the room. He tossed me onto a couch and then he was on me. His hands roving my body while his weight kept me pressed down on the cushions.

“No!” I started to shout but his hand clamped down on my mouth.

His free hand went under the waistband of my pants and he pressed a dry finger into me. I screamed against his hand, tears stinging my eyes.

“You’re still that tight after the Alpha fucked you?” he laughed, “Maybe he’s not as impressive and he’d like everyone to think.”

“Perhaps not,” a calm voice said from behind Robert.

Relief flooded my body as I recognized the voice.

Robert stiffened, his eyes going wide with fear. He slowly withdrew his hand from my underwear, making me whimper with discomfort. As he turned around, his hand still clamped on my mouth, I was able to see the Alpha.

At a glance, he looked calm and unaffected, but there was something in the tension lines of his face, the hardness of his eyes, that sent a chill of fear through me. He was angry.

“Robert, may I ask why you have my human pinned under you?” the Alpha asked, his voice carefully controlled.

“They begged me to fuck them,” Robert said in a rush. “They came on to me and you know how it is when—”

“Is that true, pup?” the Alpha’s harsh gaze fell on me.

Under Robert’s restraining hand, I shook my head as best I could.

“Robert, your hand please,” the Alpha said.

“Of course. Sorry, sir,” he said, looking to me with a warning glare before slowly removing his hand.

I hesitated, worried that Robert could hurt me before the Alpha could stop him. But still, I stuttered out, “He’s lying. He attacked me.”

Robert scoffed, “And now they’re lying to try not to make you angry, Alpha. I swear to you, they practically forced themself on me.”

The Alpha didn’t respond and I worried he would think Robert was telling the truth. After all, I had seemed to be attracted to the man previously. And I’d been angry with the Alpha. Maybe he thought I’d do it to hurt him.

“I see,” the Alpha replied coolly, “Regardless, Robert, I believe you are familiar with the rules here. Once a human is claimed, they should not be touched by another werewolf without their master’s permission.”

“I can hardly be blamed when they came on to me so strongly,” Robert argued, “I know it was wrong and I apologize, but—”

“Apology accepted,” the Alpha stated, “Now please get off my human.”

“Of course, sir,” Robert said, quickly rising off the couch. He turned to his human woman, who was still sitting where he’d left her, her eyes wide with horror, “Come on.”

She got to her feet quickly and followed him out of the train car.

“Are you alright, pup?” the Alpha asked, offering his hand to me.

I shook my head, taking his hand and letting him help me to my feet.

“He’s lying,” I whispered, “I didn’t—”

“I know,” the Alpha assured me quietly, “But he is a werewolf and you are human. While we are trapped on this train together, I must keep the peace and taking your side would have only angered him and perhaps others aboard. What did he do to you?”

“He… his finger… in me…” I mumbled, my face growing extremely hot.

“Are you in pain?”

“No, just… uncomfortable.”

He nodded his understanding, “I have another meeting, but you may accompany me to this one. Do you feel up to it?”

“Why ask when I don’t have a choice?”

“Please answer, pup,” he requested.

I let out a slow breath and said, “You’ll… hold me?”

He gave a small smile and said, “Yes, I will hold you if you wish. May I carry you?”

I nodded and he carefully scooped me up into his arms. I winced a little, the movement causing discomfort between my legs, but then I leaned my head against his chest, relaxing in the safety of his arms.

We moved to another train car where other werewolves were gathered. He sat, cradling me against him. Unable to stop myself, I glanced around at the werewolves and my heart sank when I saw Robert was there, his human woman kneeling at his side, her head resting against his thigh as he stroked her hair.

“I hear you have a misbehaving human, Alpha,” a woman werewolf intoned, “I could help you whip them into shape. You know I have a lot of experience with troublesome humans.”

“I am aware. Thank you, Delilah,” the Alpha said. I tensed against him in fear. “However, I will punish them appropriately later, in private.”

“I find a swift punishment is more effective,” she pointed out, “I have my crop if you want to borrow it.”

“No, but thank you,” the Alpha said, “I believe we have more urgent matters to discuss than a misbehaving human servant.”

I rested my forehead against the Alpha’s shoulder, breathing shakily. I didn’t listen to the rest of the conversation. I was too worried about whether the Alpha actually would punish me later.

Just one more day, I told myself. Surely I could handle whatever he would inflict upon me for twenty-four more hours.

As he spoke, the Alpha held me close. He rubbed my back in soothing circular motions. For what seemed like hours, we sat there. I felt Robert’s eyes on me the entire time and I fought back a sob as I thought about what he intended to do to me.

Suddenly, the Alpha stood and said, “Very good, Delilah. Implement those protocols in your territory as soon as possible. If you will excuse me, I need to deal with my human.”

“Of course, Alpha,” she replied knowingly, “Best of luck. And let me know if you change your mind about the crop.”

He inclined his head in thanks and began to carry me from the train car, in the direction of his room. When we got there, he set me down on the bed and stepped back, his eyes closed as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

“I didn’t do anything,” I told him quickly.

The Alpha sighed and dropped his hand, looking at me sympathetically, “I already told you that I believe you, pup. It is alright.”

“But…”

“Do you want for me to punish you?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.

A shudder ran through me, “N-no. Of course not.”

A small smile grew on his lips, “I think the idea intrigues you.”

“Please don’t,” I begged.

“That is not something I would do without consent,” he assured me, “Though you should consider it.”

“The lines you draw between what you are and are not willing to do without consent are very confusing,” I grumbled.

He sighed, “Yes, I know. And I know you will not like this, but I would like to be certain Robert did not injure you.”

“What?” I backed away from him on the bed fearfully. “I’m fine.”

“You showed signed of pain when I carried you. Please, pup. Do not make this more difficult than it needs to be.”

“Don’t call me pup,” I growled, “And I was just assaulted! You really want to shovel more on top of that right now?”

The Alpha took a step back and inclined his head, “I apologize.”

“Thank you,” I said, relaxing a little.

“I would ask, however, that you check yourself,” the Alpha said gently, gesturing to the bathroom.

“Fine,” I agreed, getting carefully to my feet and moving to the bathroom.

I shut the door and cautiously checked myself. Other than slight discomfort, I didn’t see or feel anything unusual. While in the bathroom, I took time to clean myself up a little, feeling like I still had Robert all over me.

When I emerged, there were two plates of food on the table.

“I had lunch brought here,” the Alpha told me, “Are you able to eat?”

“We’ll find out,” I mumbled, moving to sit down. He sat across from me and began eating, though he kept his eyes on me.

I ate slowly, my stomach feeling too tense to eat much without consequences.

“If I had… misbehaved,” I began tentatively, “Would you have punished me?”

“Misbehaved in what manner?” he questioned, “In the manner Robert accused you?”

I shrugged.

“No, I would not,” he stated, “I told you that you were allowed to seek an alternative companion. In the unlikely event that you had opted for Robert, no I would not have punished you for it.”

“That wouldn’t be misbehavior then, if I had permission,” I pointed out, “I mean… if I did something you didn’t want. Something you told me not to do.”

“Are you attempting to gauge how far you can push me before there are consequences?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.

“No,” I said quickly, “Sorry. I… I was just curious. That other werewolf said she had a crop and… that scared me.”

His expression softened, “I would not hit you as a punishment, pup. There certainly might be consequences to your actions, but I personally have never been fond of corporal punishment.”

“How would you punish me then?” I asked.

He tilted his head to the side thoughtfully, “I honestly do not know. Let us not strive to find out, pup. You only have one more night here and then you will be free to continue on with your life.”

“Right…” I said, poking at my food anxiously.

“In the meantime, I will not be leaving you unsupervised again,” he stated, “I genuinely apologize for what happened. I misjudged the risks and you suffered for it. I will strive to do better to protect you.”

I looked up at him in surprise, feeling a lump in my throat.

“Pup?” he questioned, “Are you alright?”

“It’s not your job to protect me,” I whispered, unable to speak any louder.

“It very much is right now,” the Alpha said, “I told you, you are in my care. For the duration of your contract, it is my duty to keep you safe… and ensure you do not starve,” he added with a small smile, nodding to my plate, “Are you not hungry?”

“Too stressed to eat,” I admitted, setting down my fork.

“I understand. Please drink more water, if you can.”

“Always on about the water,” I muttered, though I still obeyed.

He chuckled, “You would be surprised at how many humans, and werewolves actually, are dehydrated.”

“What are you, a doctor?”

“I was,” he said with a sad sigh, “For a long time, I was.”

I blinked, looking at him in confusion, “Really?”

“Yes. I had to change my focus to werewolf business over the last fifty years, but I worked as a doctor for humans and werewolves.”

I sputtered on the water I was drinking, “Fifty years?”

“Fifty years,” he confirmed, sounding amused.

“But… you… you can’t be more than… I mean… you…”

He leaned back in his chair, his expression curious, “How old do I look to you, pup?”

My face warmed. “I don’t know… not old enough to have been a doctor fifty years ago.”

“Please, I promise I will not take offense to whatever number you say,” he assured me.

“Uh… mid forties at the oldest,” I said nervously.

“Hmm. Most people guess mid thirties, but I assume they are attempting to avoid insulting me,” he remarked, “What makes you say forties?”

“Your gray hair. You don’t have wrinkles, though. Not at lot, anyways.”

He smiled, his eyes crinkling, emphasizing the faint crows feet there, “Thank you for being honest.”

“So… how old are you?”

“I honestly do not know. Much older than mid forties, however.”

“Oh,” I breathed.

“I have been told I should dye my gray hairs,” he said, frowning as he ran his fingers over the small streak of gray on the side of his head.

“Don’t,” I said without thinking, then I shrunk back in chagrin.

“You like it?” he asked.

“It… makes you look more distinguished,” I muttered, embarrassed.

He smiled, “Thank you. My husband tells me he would divorce me if I started dying it.”

“Then he has good taste,” I said, my cheeks burning as I lifted my glass to take another drink.

“I will be certain to tell him that when I see him tomorrow.”

I stiffened, “Tomorrow…”

“He is waiting for me at the end of the journey. I have a few meetings in the city and then we will return home together.”

“So you’re gonna fuck me tonight and reunite with your husband tomorrow?” I asked stiffly.

“Yes, I believe so,” he agreed lightly, “My husband has no qualms about having relations with other people. He is certainly in no position to take issue with my occasional dalliances.”

“You have an open relationship?”

“We do.”

“So… you’re gonna tell him about me?”

“I already have. We have spoken on the phone several times during our journey.”

“In that other language?” I asked curiously. “That’s who you were talking to?”

He smiled, “Yes.”

“What language is that?”

“My husband and I have been together for so long, we developed our own language that only the two of us understand.”

“Oh, wow…” I said, taken aback, “How long…?”

“Many many years,” he said, “Are you certain you will not be eating more?” he asked.

“Uh. Oh, yeah,” I nodded, “All yours, if you want it.”

“Thank you,” he said, taking my plate and pushing his empty one aside. “I hope you will eat some dinner tonight. You will need your strength.”

My expression darkened, “Because you’re gonna fuck me.”

“Yes,” he said simply, “This is our last night together and I intend to make the most of it.”

“Even if I ask you not to.”

“Yes.”

“There’s a word for that, you know.”

He set his fork down and looked at me severely, “You signed a contract, pup. I understand that you were not properly informed on its contents, but legally, you signed your life away for four days. After your incident with Robert, I do not think I need to impress upon you how poorly you would be treated by anyone here other than myself.”

“So just because I would’ve been abused worse by the others, you have the right to abuse me?” I asked.

“You signed your rights away,” he reminded me, “And I have to ask… do you feel abused by me, pup?”

I dropped my gaze to my lap.

“Why had you not had sex before?” he asked, his voice more gentle.

“Fuck off,” I muttered, crossing my arms over my chest.

“Who are you running from?” he questioned.

“You can fuck me however much you want for the next twenty four hours,” I snapped, “But that doesn't mean I owe you my life story.”

He inclined his head and picked up his fork again. Without another word, he resumed eating.

We sat in silence until he finished the meal and stood, offering me his hand. After a moment of hesitation, I took it. When he scooped me into his arms, I didn’t complain. There was no use. Just one more day…

He settled into a chair, me curled up in his lap. I rested my forehead against his shoulder, closing my eyes.

“If they can sit, I’m not sure you punished them thoroughly enough,” a werewolf commented.

“There are other methods of teaching humans to behave,” the Alpha informed them, “I am quite certain this one will not act out again. I believe you have information about rogue packs?”

With that, the conversation moved on. The Alpha rubbed my back and occasionally ran his hand up and down my thigh. I didn’t want to, but I found the contact comforting. I relaxed in his arms, feeling almost peaceful. I decided, if most of my remaining time on the train could be spent just in the Alpha’s arms, it wouldn’t be too bad.

Over the next few hours, the Alpha occasionally moved to different rooms to speak to different groups of werewolves, each time carrying me and holding me close. I caught a glimpse of Robert one of the few times I looked out, seeing him with his human bent over a table, but I quickly buried my face in the Alpha’s chest again.

As much as I didn’t look, I still heard a lot of the sexual activities. Moans, slaps of flesh on flesh, wet sounds of lube and arousal… I tried not to think of it, but every so often my hips squirmed of their own accord.

Eventually it was dinner time and the Alpha and I sat beside each other at the large table. Thankfully dinner always seemed to be sex free.

“Please try to eat something,” the Alpha whispered to me before focusing on the other conversations.

I was actually able to eat. I felt… oddly calm. Maybe finally accepting my role as a fuck toy to the Alpha. Maybe instead it was because I knew the nightmare would be over soon. Maybe I was just too tired and hungry to worry about anything else.

It was still too much for me to eat, given that it was werewolf size portions, so the Alpha finished what I couldn’t, but I had managed to eat and drink a good amount.

“Good pup,” he murmured to me softly when he took my plate.

My cheeks warmed under his praise.

After dinner, he carried me to yet another gathering of werewolves. Once again, I leaned against the Alpha, trying to ignore the activities around me. To my surprise, the Alpha gripped my jaw and turned my head to face the room.

I tried to pull my head out of his grip, but he held firm.

“Do you see anything you would enjoy?” he murmured in my ear.

“Fuck you,” I hissed.

He chuckled, but didn’t reply.

There were no conversations going on in that room. Only sex. I saw someone being spit-roasted by two werewolves. A human man with a werewolf woman on top of him, riding him much as I had the Alpha the previous night. A werewolf woman, the one I had learned was Delilah, had one human fucking her while another sucked her off. Another human was bent over, being fucked from behind. And then another was on their knees, a werewolf gripping their head as he fucked their mouth forcibly.

I whimpered and squirmed uncomfortably.

The Alpha released my jaw and ran his hand down my side before coming to rest on my hip. I closed my eyes and leaned against him, trying to push down the arousal I was feeling. It wasn’t helped by the Alpha’s hand beginning to move again. He stroked my hip before moving to my inner thigh.

“You… you said you wouldn’t do anything in front of people,” I panted.

“I did,” he agreed.

His thumb stroked me uncomfortably close to my clothed pussy, but he didn’t move closer. I whined, not sure if I wanted him to stop or actually touch me properly.

“Are you ready to retire for the evening?” he asked softly, his voice a low rumble.

I nodded, my mouth suddenly dry and my heart pounding.

He carried me back to his room and set me down in front of the bathroom.

“Bathe,” he told me, “You still smell of Robert.”

Without a word, I obeyed, going into the bathroom to shower. My body buzzed with excitement as I cleaned myself. Every touch of my own hands on my body nearly made me moan, especially when I cleaned between my legs.

When I exited the bathroom, clothed only in a towel, I saw that the Alpha was still in his suit. He was sitting in a chair and when he saw me, he gestured to the floor at his feet, “Kneel.”

I swallowed hard and moved to do as he said, getting to my knees beside him, looking up expectantly.

“You are going to take me in your mouth,” he told me, “Have you ever done that before?”

I shook my head, my eyes wide with anxiety.

“You like the idea,” he stated.

I looked away from him, embarrassed. He gripped my hair, roughly forcing me to look up at him again. The action sent zings of excitement straight to my pussy.

“I saw where your eyes were drawn before,” he told me, “Get started, pup.”

His hand was still knotted in my hair, keeping me from hiding my face. His trousers were still firmly in place, so I tentatively reached to undo his belt, my fingers fumbling with the buckle. His dark eyes were on me, but he didn’t seem to be in a hurry. I was, though. I wanted to be done with it. Anxiety and embarrassment filled me.

“C-can you help me?” I asked.

He smiled and nodded, using his free hand to finish undoing his belt, opening his pants and pulling his half hard cock out.

“Good pup,” he murmured.

Tentatively, I took his cock in my hand, starting to stroke it. It grew erect under my touch.

“Your mouth,” the Alpha reminded me.

“I’ve never… please…” I begged, “Can’t you just fuck me again?”

“I want to fuck your mouth,” he told me simply. “We can do it at your pace or mine, but it will happen.”

I shuddered, feeling my arousal build at his words. Holding the base of his cock, I bent forward and hesitantly licked at the head. The taste of him surprised me. I didn’t want to like it. I wanted to be disgusted. But I wasn’t. Steeling myself, I ran my tongue over him, trying to imitate things I’d seen other people do. I felt his hand tighten in my hair a little.

“Take me inside your mouth, pup,” he ordered.

I tried. I really did. But I wasn’t able to get him much past my lips before I had to pull back, coughing a little.

“I can’t,” I told him. “You… you liked fucking me from behind. Can we do that again? I’ll do whatever you want to make it better for you.”

“We will do that before the night is over,” the Alpha assured me, “But for now, this is what I want. Do you want me to help you?”

“I want you to let me go,” I told him.

He sighed and reached his free hand to a bag beside him and he pulled out a familiar object. My wand vibrator. He offered it to me.

Confused, I took it, looking at him questioningly.

“You will need to be thoroughly aroused for what I have in mind tonight,” he said, “Pleasure yourself with that while I fuck your mouth.”

“But…”

“Open your mouth,” he said, pulling me closer to him by my hair.

“Please don’t,” I begged, trying to fight his grip, “I’m not—”

Before I could finish my sentence, he took advantage of my open mouth, his cock sliding past my lips. I gagged and tried to pull myself off him.

“Relax your throat,” he told me, “And no teeth, pup.”

It was impossible to relax with his massive cock in my mouth. It wasn’t blocking my airway, but it was too much. I gagged and fought him, but he held me still. I considered biting down on him, but even though he had been patient with me thus far, I didn’t want to test that by hurting him. He didn’t let me move an inch off his cock until I finally stopped fighting.

He pulled me off him and I sucked in grateful breaths.

“The vibrator,” he reminded me.

“Fuck you,” I ground out.

He smiled, “You can enjoy this as well. You will want to be prepared for what comes next. Use the vibrator.”

I glared at him, but I got the wand, turned it on and positioned it between my legs. I fought a moan as it pressed against my clit.

The Alpha dragged me by the hair back to his cock, tapping it against my lips. Reluctantly, I opened my mouth and he pulled me down onto it. I choked a little, but not as badly as before. He rocked me back and forth on his length, his movements also causing me to grind against the vibrator. I pressed it more firmly against my clit and let out a moan. The vibrations from the sound must have felt pleasant to him because he closed his eyes, tilting his head back.

He fucked my mouth roughly, though not deep enough to cut off my air, as I squirmed on the vibrator. Until he suddenly forced his cock deeper, into my throat. He held my head in place with both hands, keeping me from escaping as he took me. My instinct was to fight him, but I felt my body relax somehow, letting him deeper inside me. He gave a few thrusts before he groaned and I felt him release himself down my throat. He held me in place for a few more moments before letting me go.

I pulled back, coughing and trying to catch my breath.

“Good pup,” he told me, “You did well.”

“Are… are you done?” I asked, panting.

“Not nearly,” he said, also breathing hard as he reached to undo the buttons of his shirt, “But I needed to orgasm before I could shift.”

My eyes widened fearfully, “Shift?”

He nodded, shrugging off his shirt, “Bend over the bed. Make sure you are comfortable because once I knot you, you will be unable to move for a while.”

“No, no, no…” I said, scrambling to my feet and backing away, “You can’t do that.”

He stood and stepped out of his trousers, “I very much can and will. I want to feel my knot inside you, pup. Will you cooperate or must I force myself on you?”

“I’ll do anything else you want,” I told him urgently, still backing away, but I hit a wall and could go no further, “I’ll… suck you off better. I can do better. You can fuck me from behind in this form. You can… I don’t know, do you wanna try anal? Whatever you want, I’ll do.”

“I want to fuck you as a wolf,” he told me. Despite the fact that I’d been backing away, he hadn’t moved closer to me, “I will prepare you with my tongue first, if you allow me. I am told it is very pleasurable.”

“What can I do?” I pleaded, “I’ll do anything.”

“Why are you scared?” he asked, tilting his head to the side, “Do you believe I will harm you when I am shifted?”

“I… It… I don’t know, it just… I’ve never seen a shifted werewolf before.”

He held a hand out to me, his expression sympathetic, “You are in no danger from me, pup. I will still be me.”

“But… you’re going to knot me?”

“It will not hurt if I properly prepare you. Many find it an enjoyable experience.”

“H-how will it… go in?” I asked shakily.

The Alpha let out a sigh and moved to sit on the edge of the bed. He patted the mattress beside him, “Come here, pup.”

Swallowing hard, I moved to sit next to him. I let out a small yelp of surprise as he pulled me into his lap instead, cradling me as he typically did, only he was naked and I had only a towel around me.

“The knot does not grow until just before I orgasm,” he told me, his hand running up and down my bare thigh. “It will already be inside then and it will grow within you.”

I squirmed, feeling excitement building despite myself.

“I will not be forcing anything overly large into you,” he assured me, his hand moving from my thigh to between my legs.

“But… it’ll still be big,” I whispered fearfully, trying to ignore his fingers moving against my clit.

“It will, but as I said, I will prepare you properly and you will stretch around it.”

“And then… we’ll be… oh…” I gasped as he teased my wet folds, “stuck…?”

“We will. Pulling out would be difficult and likely painful. It will be at least an hour before my knot goes down enough to pull out, though… I plan to be tied much longer,” he said, forcing a finger inside me.

I gripped his arm, whimpering as I felt him stretching me. “L-longer?”

“I plan to continue fucking you after you are knotted,” he told me, his voice deep and husky as he forced another finger in me. “I will not be able to pull out, but I will be able to move just enough.”

“Oh…” I moaned, my pussy clenching around his fingers.

Before I knew it, he had flipped me over so I was bent over the bed, his hand heavy on my back, keeping me pinned as he pulled the towel off my body.

“I am sorry, pup. I cannot wait longer,” he told me.

Then I felt him change. I felt his hand on my back grow, the texture of it shifting, becoming a leathery paw pad, and claws pressed lightly into my skin.

“No!” I started to protest, but I heard a growl and his paw forced me more firmly into the mattress. I whimpered and stilled.

He gave a low rumble of approval and then I felt a large tongue lapping at me between my legs.

“Fuck,” I moaned, gripping the blankets below me. The tongue was huge as it dragged from my clit to my cunt firmly. Then it pressed into me, feeling as large as the Alpha’s cock. I started to struggle again, but a warning growl made me freeze. The growl sent vibrations of pleasure through me.

The werewolf’s tongue worked me thoroughly, writhing through me, filling me and stretching me. I felt it press deeper than the Alpha’s human cock ever had and I winced a little in pain as I felt it hit my cervix. It continued to probe my inner most walls, stretching me in ways I never thought possible. I felt the lower fangs of the werewolf drag along my clit as his tongue pressed firmly against my g-spot and the world broke apart in pleasure.

“Oh, fuck… Alpha…” I panted as he continued to tongue fuck me through my orgasm. I never wanted it to stop.

As the waves of pleasure receded, leaving me breathless, the werewolf pulled his tongue from me. Still dazed from my climax, I barely registered as the werewolf mounted me, his heavy weight and furry body at my back.

I felt a burning hot cock rub through my sensitive folds, jerking me out of my haze. I was finally able to register the size of the wolf on me. The Alpha as a human was massive, but the wolf was somehow even bigger, covering my body completely plus some with his. I craned my neck to look at him and saw a giant wolf’s head, his dark eyes intense on mine as he carefully continued to rub his cock against me.

“No…” I whimpered, struggling against him.

The wolf’s massive maw wrapped around the back of my neck, his teeth digging into my skin just enough to warn me. I heeded the warning, though my body shook with fear.

Then I felt the cock line up with my pussy and press forward. I closed my eyes, burying my face in the blankets as I willed myself not to fight him. To just let him use my body. His werewolf cock seemed less blunt than his human one, more tapered, so it entered me easily despite my tense inner muscles. I felt the width of it grow as he pressed deeper inside and whimpered at the stretch.

The wolf released my neck and then licked me gently as he paused his movements. The action was oddly comforting, causing my body to relax. When he pressed forward again, he slid in more easily. I moaned as his cock opened me up in new ways.

Then he started fucking me, his furry body rocking mine with every movement. I gripped the blankets below me for support as he used me for his pleasure, each powerful thrust going deeper into me. When a particularly hard thrust hit my cervix, I yelped and struggled, but he put his paw on my back again and continued hitting the deepest part of me. He growled as I squirmed beneath him, but I didn’t stop.

“Alpha, please…” I whimpered.

He licked the back of my neck and then nipped at me, which somehow made my body relax, allowing his cock deeper inside me. Under his firm thrusts, my cervix was starting to give and the pain slowly shifted to pleasure. Each time he hit it, I let out a moan that I wished sounded pained but I knew didn’t.

No, it wasn’t right… he was fucking me as an animal and his cock was demanding entrance to a part of me that wasn’t supposed to be penetrated… No, I wouldn’t enjoy it. I couldn’t.

He nipped at my neck again, making me whimper in pleasure. He gave a low rumble and I could almost hear him saying ‘good pup.’

The werewolf pressed harder into me and I felt something give. There was a flash of pain and I knew he’d entered my cervix. But as I squirmed my hips, I wasn’t trying to get away from him. I needed more. He thrust shallowly, careful not to pull out of my tight cervix, and I felt the base of his cock expanding within me. With a growl, the werewolf came, his hardness twitching as his cum flooded me.

His knot stretched me, making me whimper as it pressed firmly against my g-spot. He was still for a few moments and then he began to move again, grinding his knot against the sensitive bundle of nerves while the head of his cock fucked my cervix. The sensation sent me over the edge and my pussy clamped down around him as I let out a wanton moan. He rumbled and I felt him sink his fangs into my shoulder, the pain mixing with pleasure as I came.

He didn’t stop fucking me through my orgasm. He thrust shallowly, his knot keeping him from pulling out more than an inch. He pounded against my cervix and g-spot, never letting up as I whined at the over-stimulation.

The pain and pleasure of it overwhelmed me and I blacked out.

I didn’t know how long I’d been out when I returned to consciousness to find he was still pounding into me. His knot pressed hard against my g-spot and I saw stars as an orgasm gripped me. The werewolf licked the back of my neck as I pressed my forehead against the bed, riding out my sudden orgasm while he still thrust shallowly within me. I gasped when I felt him climax again, filling me somehow even more with his cum.

But he still didn’t stop. Once he recovered from his orgasm, he continued to fuck me. Tears leaked from my eyes, onto the blankets below me, as I had to just lay there and take the pounding while I was still sensitive from my own climax.

It continued on like that for what felt like hours and hours. Sometimes I’d black out. Sometimes I’d wake to an overwhelming orgasm.

At some point, I was dimly aware that the Alpha had pulled out, releasing a torrent of fluids down my legs once his knot was no longer keeping it inside. I whimpered as he used his paws to carefully move me to lay back on the bed, my sore and stiff muscles protesting.

Once I was on the bed properly, he ducked his head between my legs and lapped his tongue at my abused pussy. I winced but didn’t have the energy to try to stop him. Somehow, even after more orgasms than I could count, he managed to draw one last one from me as his large firm tongue ran through my folds.

Afterwards, he joined my side on the bed and pulled me against his furry chest. I cuddled against him, my tired eyes closing as I relaxed in the comforting warmth of his embrace.

Chapter Text

I woke feeling sore, but oddly comfortable. I slowly realized I was laying on the Alpha’s chest. He was human and his large warm hand was rubbing gentle circles on my back. Not my bare back, I recognized. I was in fact clothed.

“Good morning, pup,” the Alpha said before kissing my forehead, “How do you feel?”

I buried my face in his chest instead of answering. He too was clothed, in a simple t-shirt.

“If you are in pain, I have something you can take to help with it,” he offered softly.

“I told you not to be nice to me,” I mumbled against his shirt.

“And I told you that I would not change,” he returned, “We only have a few more hours together pup.”

“You wanna go another round?” I asked bitterly.

“No, I do not. I wanted to make you an offer.”

I lifted my head to look at him, “An offer?”

His expression was tense but determined, “It seems to me that you are running from something, or perhaps someone. I doubt you came on this trip with a firm destination in mind other than to get away. I find it highly unlikely that you have any place to go or even enough money to stay anywhere.”

I frowned at him, “Is this going somewhere?”

“I want to offer you a place to stay,” he said simply, “My husband and I could provide you a place to live, food to eat, and help you make any travel arrangements you need.”

“In exchange for sex?” I asked, wrinkling my nose.

He shook his head gravely, “I will not touch you without your consent once your contract ends. There are no strings attached to this offer, pup.”

I scoffed, “And I’m supposed to believe that?”

“Your distrust is understandable,” the Alpha stated, “The choice is yours.”

He reached for something on the bedside table and handed it to me. It was a handwritten note with a time and place on it.

“My husband will be there,” he said, “If you go to that location, you can meet with him. You may ask him any questions you wish and if you still do not trust our offer, you may leave and go your own way. If you do decide to accept our offer, we will provide you a safe place to stay and any resources you may need to get back on your feet.”

I tentatively took the note, frowning at it.

“We need to be at breakfast in ten minutes,” he told me before kissing my head and climbing out of bed, “Clean up and get dressed.”

Numbly, I nodded and moved to my travel case. I put the note in one of the case’s pouches before gathering clean clothes to wear. Before I went to the bathroom to change, I looked at him.

“Did you dress me last night?” I asked.

He nodded, “After I shifted back, I cleaned you to the best of my ability and I thought you would feel more comfortable clothed.”

“Oh… uh…” I fought the urge to thank him before I turned and went into the bathroom.

Once I’d cleaned up, brushed my teeth, and changed, I emerged to find the Alpha was wearing a suit. He held his hand out to me and reluctantly, I went to him. He scooped me into his arms and carried me out of the room and into the dining car.

We sat at the table and another beautiful breakfast was presented. I ate slowly, processing the offer the Alpha had made, while the werewolves spoke around me.

“This has been a lot of fun, Alpha,” one of them commented, “I wish you would join us more often.”

“I certainly would like to,” he replied, “But alas, I have many matters that require my attention and I rarely can take this much time away from them.”

Knowing it would be my last free meal, I tried to eat everything on my plate. It was a beautiful breakfast but it tasted like ash in my mouth. I was too distracted with thoughts of all that had transpired over the last four days. I was too distracted by the idea that they Alpha still wanted me…

Still, I managed to finish my meal.

Once we were both done, the Alpha carried me to a different car, where he sat to speak to other werewolves. As usual, the other werewolves had their hands, and other body parts, all over their human companions.

Robert was there with his and made eye contact with me before I quickly buried my head in the Alpha’s chest. The Alpha rubbed soothing circles on my back, which actually did manage to relax me. I didn’t like it. I didn’t like that the Alpha made me feel safe in his arms. I didn’t like that he had roughly fucked me all night and yet I still found myself feeling comfortable with him. Something was definitely broken inside my brain, I decided.

Much like previous days, the Alpha occasionally moved to different train cars to speak to different groups of werewolves. Perhaps it was my imagination, but it seemed like there was a lot more sex going on than usual. Probably the werewolves wanting to make the most of the last few hours before it was over. I didn’t watch and I tried not to listen.

I heard the Alpha give a sad sigh and his arms tightened around me. I looked up and saw that the director woman in charge of all the humans had entered. She was speaking to a few werewolves that had humans with them.

“It seems our time has come to an end,” the Alpha murmured. He kissed my forehead. “I will miss you, pup. I wish you well.”

Before I could respond, he stood and placed me on my feet. I was unsteady for a moment, but he helped me stay upright by putting his hands on my waist.

“Come on, we don’t have all day,” the director said, herding the humans out of the room.

I started to take a step towards her, but the Alpha pulled me against him, pressing his nose to the top of my head and inhaling deeply before suddenly releasing me and stepping back. I turned to look at him, to say something though I had no idea what to say, but he was already leaving the train car in the other direction.

“This year, please,” the director beckoned.

Feeling strangely hurt and conflicted, I joined the other humans.

All of my luggage was there, with the rest of the humans’ possessions, and for the rest of the train ride, I sat clutching my things, resisting the urge to see if the Alpha’s note was still where I left it. When the train finally screeched to a stop, the other humans filed out. I was at the back of the crowd, one of the last ones off the train.

When I stepped off, I glanced around the station. Above all the passengers exiting the other cars, I easily saw the Alpha. He was a head taller than everyone else. I stayed still, watching him. But he never turned in my direction and soon he was out of sight.

Swallowing around the sudden lump in my throat, I headed for the exit of the station. Once I was out of the bustling crowds, I found a bench to sit on and I pulled up one of my travel cases, digging through a pocket of it.

I found the slightly crumpled note.

After staring at it for way too long, I stood, crushing the note in my fist, and headed along the road in search of my new future.

Chapter Text

It wasn’t hard to find the location in the note. The place wasn’t far from the train station and the pathways were well marked, so I made it there well in advance of the time indicated. I paced around as I waited, trying to talk myself out of making such a huge mistake.

A limo pulled up next to me and the rear window rolled down, revealing a man with curly black hair, wearing sunglasses.

“I think you’re waiting for me,” he said with an amused smile.

“Uh… maybe,” I squeaked out, eyeing the limo nervously.

The man opened the door.

“I’m Damian,” he said, “Vikram’s husband.”

“V-Vikram?” I questioned.

He looked at me over his sunglasses, “The Alpha?”

“Oh…”

He smiled and pushed his sunglasses back into place, “Come on. It’ll be more comfortable to talk in here.”

I hesitated.

“And you’re free to go whenever you want,” he stated.

I didn’t move for a moment more before I grabbed my luggage and ducked into the limo. The man helped me pull my things inside and then shut the door.

He took off his sunglasses once the window was rolled up and hooked them on his collar, “Much better.” He pressed a button on the roof of the car and said, “Drive around the block a few times.”

“Yes, sir,” a voice came through a speaker.

I realized the privacy window was up between the driver and the passenger area. I was essentially alone with a man I didn’t know.

He smiled kindly at me, “I’m Damian Lovett, husband to the Alpha werewolf, AKA Vikram Lovett.”

“He… didn’t tell me his name,” I whispered, keeping my eyes on my lap as I fidgeted with my sleeve.

“How very impolite of him,” Damian clicked his tongue distastefully, “Did he tell you about me?”

“Uh… maybe a few things.”

Damian was silent for a moment and I saw in my periphery that he was frowning in thought.

“He didn’t tell you I’m a vampire, did he?”

My head jerked up to look at him, eyes wide.

“I’ll take that as a no,” Damian shook his head in disapproval, “If me being a vampire makes you feel unsafe, you can get out of the car now. I would understand.”

“I… I’ve just… I’ve never met a vampire,” I told him nervously, “Not… knowingly, at least. I assumed you were a werewolf…”

“Most people do,” he gave a wry laugh, “Most people wish I was. I’m never sure which surprises, and disgusts, people more: the fact that the Alpha is married to a vampire or a man.”

“For the humans, the man part probably,” I said, wrinkling my nose. “Seems like werewolves don’t have a problem with that…”

“I could see why you’d think that, but the werewolves on that train aren’t representative of werewolf-kind as a whole,” Damian said with a sad sigh, “But… on to business. Vikram told you about our offer?”

“A little…”

“Then let me explain,” he began, “He told me you looked like you were trying to get away from something and he wanted to offer you a safe place to stay while you get on your feet. We’ll provide housing, food, and any other services you may need for as long as you may need them.”

“In exchange for sex?” I asked, feeling my face heat up. But I had to ask, no matter how uncomfortable it was.

“No,” Damian said firmly, “Neither he nor I will touch you without consent. You’re not under any sort of contract now. We’re making this offer with no expectations of anything in exchange.”

“Why? If not for sex…”

Damian leaned back in his seat and shrugged, “Vikram likes you. He cares about you.”

I hugged myself, “He has a funny way of showing it.”

“You wouldn’t be here if you weren’t considering our offer,” he commented, “Either on some level, you care about him too or you’re desperate enough to be in the back of a car with a vampire whose husband just assaulted you for four days straight.”

I glared at him.

“Look,” Damian began, “I can’t say I approve of his actions the last few days. But what I can say is that in general, Vikram is a very kind and caring man. When he says he wants to take care of you, he means it. And he expects nothing in return.”

“How can I believe that?”

He sighed, “I don’t know that anything I say or do could convince you. You just have to decide for yourself what you believe… or what you want to believe.”

“What I want to believe?”

“Our wants shape how we view things. If you want to view Vikram as a monster, you’re perfectly within your rights to do so. But if you want to believe that he and I can help you…”

I was silent as I considered my options, watching the passing cityscape out the window.

“Do you have anywhere you can go?” Damian asked softly. “Friends or family…”

My jaw tensed and I shook my head stiffly.

“I could give you some money to help you get started,” he offered, “Enough to get you a nice hotel room or afford a train not populated by horny werewolves.”

I gave a little laugh at that, “Yeah, I’ve learned my lesson about werewolf trains.”

Damian pulled a wallet out of his suit jacket’s pocket and flipped it open, “How much would help you get in a good place? A thousand?”

I looked at him with horrified eyes, “You can’t give me a thousand dollars.”

“Well, no,” he admitted, “I only have five hundred on hand. But we can stop at a bank.”

“You’d just… give me money?”

“I would.”

“And… the Alpha would be okay with it?”

He shrugged, “That wasn’t what he told me to offer, but honestly fuck him.”

I blinked, stunned by his words.

“He wants for you to be in our care,” Damian explained, “Not so he can have sex with you, but because he’s protective and wants to keep you safe personally. But I don’t want you to think that’s your only option. I’ll give you five hundred dollars right now, regardless of what you decide, so that you can make a choice without only one resulting in you having a hot meal.”

He pulled out a small stack of bills and held it out to me.

I eyed it like a snake ready to strike.

“No strings,” he promised, “You can take this and run out the door. Though… wait until the car’s stopped,” he added, sounding amused.

“No strings?”

“Not a one.”

Tentatively, I held my hand out and he gave me the cash. I looked at it in amazement. I’d never seen so much money.

“If you can wait a bit, I can get more out of the bank,” he told me, “But I can have my driver stop and let you out right now if you’d rather.”

I continued staring at the money, running through equations in my head. It was a big chunk of change, for sure. But not enough for rent. Only enough for a few days at a hotel or motel. Maybe less if I factored in food. Less if I thought I needed to travel anywhere. And where would I go anyways? I had no one. I was alone.

Fighting back tears, I held the money towards Damian.

He shook his head, “That’s yours.”

“I… I don’t need it,” I whispered.

He frowned, confused.

“Is… your offer to help me still good?”

His expression softened and he nodded, “It is. We’ll give you a place to live and anything else you need.”

“Then you can take this back,” I told him.

“No, I want you to keep it,” he said firmly, “Consider it my own personal gift to you.”

“Okay…” I said reluctantly, pocketing the money.

“I’d like to know,” he said, leaning towards me with an intense expression, “Are you doing this because you’re just that desperate or because maybe, deep down, you care for Vikram too?”

I didn’t reply. I didn’t know how to. I’d been hurt at the thought of him abandoning me… but then he hadn’t. He wanted to take care of me… But did I really want him to? Did I want the man who took my virginity against my will to be in my life?

Despite the fact that I didn’t answer, Damian gave a satisfied nod. He pressed the button on the roof of the car and said, “To the hotel.”

“Yes, sir,” came the reply.

“Hotel?” I questioned.

“We’re staying in a hotel until tomorrow night and then we’re driving back home,” he explained. “You’ll be staying in our hotel room, but you’ll have your own bed. If I’d known we would have a guest, I would have gotten a suite with two bedrooms, but by the time Vikram told me, it was too late to change. You’ll have a private room at our house, though.”

“Uh… thanks.”

He inclined his head.

“One last thing… Vikram said he knew your legal name, but since you’re nonbinary, he wasn’t sure if that was the name you wanted to go by.”

My face heated up, “It’s… not.”

“What name do you want to be called?”

“I haven’t picked one,” I admitted.

“Ah,” he nodded his understanding, “Then I’ll just avoid names altogether for you right now.”

“Thanks…”

Damian smiled kindly.

The drive to the hotel didn’t take long. The limo parked in the shade, but Damian still put on his sunglasses before sliding out. He took one of my travel cases and led the way through the hotel. I was silent on the elevator ride up, feeling awkward and out of place in such a fancy hotel.

“Home sweet home,” Damian said as we entered the hotel room.

“Oh wow,” I breathed. The room was huge, with a kitchenette, two large beds, and a nice sitting area.

“This one’s yours,” Damian told me as he set my travel case next to the bed farthest from the door.

“Thanks,” I said, sitting on the edge of it and bouncing up and down slightly to test it out. It was extremely soft. “Uh… when’s… when is the Alpha gonna be here?”

Damian looked at his watch, “Not for another few hours, at least. You have time to settle in. The bathroom’s through there. Are you hungry? I could fix lunch.”

“You don’t have to do that…” I fretted, “I’m fine.”

He waved a dismissive hand, “I love to cook. Vikram probably didn’t mention that. I’d be happy to make you something.” Damian moved to the kitchenette and opened the fridge.

“But… vampires don’t eat, do they?” I questioned nervously.

“We don’t have to eat human food,” he shrugged as he reached into the fridge, moving things around in search of something, “But we can. I just like to make food for people, though. It’s why Vikram married me. I like to cook and he likes to eat.”

I frowned, remembering how he always finished my meals for me.

Damian pulled his head out of the fridge and looked at me, “That’s a joke, by the way. I promise, our relationship is more than just food.”

“I believe you,” I assured him, “But really, you don’t have to make me anything.”

“Are you not hungry?”

“Not really. Too tense to eat… plus I had a big breakfast.”

“Ah,” he nodded, closing the fridge, “If you get hungry, let me know. Otherwise, I’ll wait until dinner and I’ll make something for you and Vikram.”

“Okay,” I agreed, “Umm…”

“Tell you what,” Damian began, “I imagine your clothes need cleaning, so how about I take them to the laundry room and while you settle in?”

“I can do that—”

He held up a hand, “I want to. Please?”

“But…”

“I have some of my own laundry to do too,” he said, “It’ll be easier to do it all at once.”

I sighed and said, “Fine. Thank you.” I opened my travel case and pulled out my bag of dirty clothes.

“The bathtub has spa jets,” Damian told me as he took the bag, “I highly suggest trying them out.”

He gathered up his own laundry and headed out of the room, leaving me alone.

While alone, I went through my travel case to make sure everything was there. I hadn’t returned my things to it, but apparently someone had. Nothing seemed to be missing. After checking my items, I went into the bathroom. It was huge and impressive. The tub did indeed have jets, but I didn’t feel comfortable testing them out, so I instead took a shower.

After I dried off and dressed, I went to the bed and laid on my back, staring at the ceiling and processing everything.

I was in a vampire’s hotel room. A vampire and the Alpha werewolf’s hotel room. I had no idea how that even happened, but… it beat being on the street. As long as the Alpha had been honest about not touching me.

Eventually, Damian returned and handed me a sack of my clean clothes.

“Thanks,” I told him, carefully folding everything and returning it to my travel case.

“Not a problem. Still not hungry?” he asked as he put his own laundry away.

I shook my head.

“Well, we still have a bit before Vikram gets here. Is there anything you want to do?”

“Do…?”

“I could leave you here alone more, if you wanted,” he offered, “Or you and I could hang out. There’s a TV if you wanted to watch something.”

“Like what?”

He shrugged, “Anything. Your choice.”

“I’m kinda just tired,” I admitted.

“Of course,” he said gently, “Rest. Do you want me to leave?”

“No, you don’t have to. It’s your room, I can’t kick you out.”

“Okay. I’ll be working on my computer then. Go get some rest and let me know if you need anything.”

He turned off the main light, leaving a lamp that cast just enough light for me to see everything, while I climbed into bed. The blankets were thick and comforting as I curled up beneath them. I gave a small sigh of contentment. I hadn’t been able to sleep in a real bed alone for quite a while, even before I got on the train.

With Damian across the room, sitting at a table with a laptop in front of him, I turned to lay on my other side and closed my eyes.

I woke to the smell of something delicious. Blinking my eyes open, I saw Damian working in the kitchenette. I sat up, rubbing my eyes. Then I stiffened as the bathroom door opened and the Alpha stepped out.

He paused mid-step as he met my gaze, “Hello, pup.”

Damian looked up from his work in the kitchen and said, “Sorry, did I wake you?”

I swallowed hard and shook my head, pulling my knees up to my chest protectively.

“Dinner is almost ready,” Damian told me, his voice gentle.

The Alpha gave me a small smile before moving to sit at the table with the laptop in front of him. Damian said something to him in another language and he responded in kind. I had no idea what they were saying, but it seemed to be a casual conversation as the Alpha worked on the laptop and Damian cooked.

“I promise, I can do much better than this with a fully stocked kitchen,” Damian said as he fixed a plate, “Would you like to eat in bed?”

I frowned, “I don’t wanna get it dirty…”

He waved a hand dismissively, “I promise, the cleaning crew here has seen much worse than some crumbs and sauce in the sheets.”

Still, I got to my feet and moved towards the table. As I did, the Alpha shut the laptop and took it off the table, putting it in a computer bag at his feet. After I sat, Damian put a plate in front of me and a much larger, fuller one in front of the Alpha.

“Thank you,” I said to Damian as I picked up a fork.

“You are quite welcome,” he said with a friendly smile, “See, someone knows how to say thank you,” he said pointedly, looking at his husband.

The Alpha heaved a sigh and said, “Thank you, my love, for this wonderful meal. I greatly appreciate you cooking for me while I was otherwise occupied.”

“You’re welcome,” Damian said loftily before taking a seat at the table, “That’s better.” He looked to me, “Maybe you can teach him some manners.”

My face warmed and I glanced nervously at the Alpha, but he gave a small smile and resumed eating. I ate slowly, my stomach still tense.

“If you still wish to join us, we will leave for our home tomorrow night,” the Alpha told me after a few long moments of silence. “Though I will understand if you change your mind.”

I didn’t reply, just continued to chew carefully.

“You didn’t tell them I’m a vampire,” Damian stated.

“Ah,” the Alpha said, leaning back in his chair and frowning, “Yes, I apologize, pup. I intended to, but I had other things on my mind and forgot. I hope you were not too started by the revelation.”

“I’m fine,” I whispered.

He inclined his head, “Perhaps now you understand why some werewolves accuse me of a bias towards vampires.”

I gave a humorless laugh through my nose, “Yeah, I guess so.”

“I wish he was biased towards vampires,” Damian scoffed, “Towards this vampire at least.”

The Alpha sighed and raised his eyebrows at the man.

“What?” Damian asked innocently.

“My husband has a strange sense of humor,” the Alpha told me, “I hope he has not distressed you.”

“He hasn’t. I’m fine.”

“I can have tact, you know,” Damian remarked to the Alpha, “I just don’t bother when I’m with you.”

It was bizarre to see someone talking back to the Alpha werewolf. And the Alpha was just taking it, his expression weary but amused.

“Do you have any concerns you wish to discuss?” the Alpha asked me.

“I’m fine,” I repeated.

“I would be surprised if you were,” he replied, a frown on his lips, “It has been a stressful few days.”

“And whose fault is that?” I muttered under my breath.

His expression hardened, “Yours.”

My blood ran cold under his gaze. A thrill of fear went through me, but also, embarrassingly, arousal.

“You signed a contract without knowing to what you were agreeing,” he reminded me.

“I didn’t have a choice,” I whispered, a touch of fear in my voice, “You don’t know what would’ve happened if I hadn’t… I had to get away.”

The hard expression gave way to sympathy, “I am sorry. You are right, I do not know your circumstances. Regardless, you are here now and I am offering my help to improve those circumstances if you will allow me.”

“And in exchange, you get to fuck me more?” I asked, finding my voice.

“I have already assured you that is not the case,” he said gently, “I believe Damian too has told you that we expect nothing.”

“But you’re hoping.”

The Alpha inclined his head, “I will admit, I do hope that you will choose to resume our physical relationship under your own free will. However, if you do not, it changes nothing. I care for you, pup, and we will do what we can to help you.”

“You have a husband,” I said, nodding towards Damian, “A hot vampire husband. You don’t need me.”

Damian grinned, “You think I’m hot?”

My face warmed, “Maybe.”

He looked at the Alpha, “They think I’m hot.”

“I heard, dear,” he responded patiently before looking to me again, “Damian and I have had what you call an open relationship for a majority of our lives. He often seeks the company of others. In fact,” he frowned at Damian, “I can smell the company you brought here.”

Damian shrugged, “I arrived a day early and got bored. Slim pickings in this town, though.”

“By the scent, it seems you found them satisfactory enough.”

“Oh, yes. We got there in the end.”

“I had hoped our reunion would not be sullied by the scent of others,” the Alpha said.

“Yet you wanted to bring them here,” Damian nodded towards me, “Little contradictory, don’t you think, Alpha?”

He frowned but didn’t respond before he spoke to me again, “Both of us seek pleasure outside of our relationship, as well as romantic relationships. It takes nothing away from our connection to each other but can enrich our lives further. I understand if that is perhaps a foreign concept to you.”

“It’s not… completely foreign,” I admitted, “I just don’t understand why me? Is it because you took my virginity?”

Damian winced noticeably at the word. The Alpha reached across the table to take his hand, giving it a comforting squeeze.

“Did… did I say something wrong?” I asked.

“It’s okay,” Damian said quickly, “I just… I have some baggage around that word. It’s not your problem.”

“I’m sorry,” I whispered, not liking the idea of causing Damian distress. He seemed nice.

“Don’t worry about me,” he said.

“To answer your question, pup,” the Alpha said, still holding his husband’s hand, “No, it is not because I was the first person with whom you had sex.”

“Then why?”

“I feel drawn to you. I felt it the moment I saw you in Robert’s arms. I cannot explain it, but I care for you and I wish to be with you.”

“So what would that look like? I’d be a third wheel.”

“Some vehicles benefit from a third wheel,” Damian pointed out.

“You’re really okay with this?” I asked him.

“I’m not okay with how it started,” he shot a harsh glare at the Alpha, “But yes, if you’re consenting to it, I’m happy to have you with us.”

“’Us’? Wouldn’t I just be the Alpha’s fucktoy?” I asked.

The Alpha smiled, looking pleased, “I am glad you are regaining some of your fire, pup.”

I dropped my gaze, embarrassed.

“You would not be anyone’s fucktoy,” the Alpha stated firmly, “You would be an equal member of the relationship with the ability to withdraw consent at any time. And to answer the spirit of your question, if you found the idea appealing, you could have sex with Damian as well as myself.”

“Maybe it’s a bit soon to talk about that,” Damian suggested.

“Perhaps,” the Alpha agreed, “But I believe it is best to address as many of their concerns as possible before we leave tomorrow night.”

“I’m still going with you,” I said, “I don’t want to fuck you, but… I don’t have anywhere else to go.”

“I understand,” he said, inclining his head, “Perhaps that will change… on both counts.”
