| KALEB

A week has passed and everyone has fallen into a strict routine. We were all still on edge and expecting an attack at any time. Fortunately, there have been no reported signs of rogues. Since Zev is the head of patrols during the day, I only see him at night. Something I wasn't happy about, but I refused to complain, we had bigger things to worry about. So instead of just sitting around all day missing my mate, I've been helping the pack mothers with the pups. Sadly, some were orphaned from the attack, which broke my heart as well as pissed me off beyond belief. It made me want to rip Jared to shreds myself, even more so than before.

Darren has been busy coordinating defense plans with enforcer wolves, leaving Josh alone for most of the day. Besides focusing on his recovery, he's been helping where he can. Rather, he's been helping with things Darren deemed minimally stressful. Josh may act like he couldn't stand his mate's overprotectiveness, but I could tell he actually enjoyed it- a lot.

Josh took this time to settle into his new position as Lunos. He made sure to give all the orphaned little ones the attention and care they needed. It was really funny to see him giving in to the whims of the children. He was back to a healthy weight, almost the same size as he was before, so to watch the 6'3 wall of muscle surrounded by children was endearing. It clashed with his asshole personality but he was so good with the kids you wouldn't think he was actually a buttface.

Right now the little ones were busy playing in the yard, under the watchful eye of the pack mothers and some enforcer wolves. I couldn't help the pang of longing I felt looking at them. I can't wait until I have my own pups. The thought of carrying Zev's cubs filled me with unbelievable warmth. Tearing my eyes away from the playing cherubs, I made my way inside. It was hot outside and I needed some water. Hopefully, it would help this time. For some reason, I've been feeling a little off lately. I just can't figure out what is wrong with me.

Fixing myself the ice-cold drink, I took a few sips before heading over to the living room, almost bumping into Josh in the process. I couldn't help but glare up at his smirking face, knowing that he did it on purpose.

"Sorry, runt didn't see you there." I rolled my eyes and walked around him, fighting a smile. It was good to see him feeling better, even if he was being an asshat.

"Whatever you oaf," I joked before finishing off my water in record time. I didn't think I was that thirsty. With a mental shrug, I just wrote it off to it being really hot out.

"What was that?" He growled playfully just as I set the cup in the sink. Before I could reply sarcastically he was charging towards me. A laugh exploded from my lips as I dashed away from him. He was twice my size and could catch me easily if he wanted to, but it was more fun if he allowed me to think I could actually get away.

I could hear his playful snarls and growls from behind me as I ran full speed into the living room. My adrenaline pumping, causing my heart to hammer. I released a giggle as he chased me around the couch before finally tackling me into the soft cushions. The butthole had the audacity to then sit on me as if I was one of said cushions. My small hands pushed futilely against his back, trying to get his large body off my much smaller one.

"Ugh, I can't breathe, gigantor, get off!" I laughed, still squirming. Josh frowned as he mock glared down at me.

"You're no fun, small fry." He groaned as he got up, plopping down beside me. I took an exaggerated gulp of air, clutching my stomach.

"You are definitely not small," I quipped back, "What has Darren been feeding you!?" Josh smirked, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.

"I don't suck and tell," he winked. I couldn't help the blush that spread across my cheeks at the unexpected answer. From what Josh has told me about the intimacy in their relationship, I hadn't realized it'd developed that far. A few days ago he came to me wanting to talk about how he was still uncomfortable around Darren at times, especially when it came to oral contact of any kind.

Josh blushed at my look of surprise as he averted his eyes from my curious ones. It was funny to watch him go from his usually overconfident self to a blushing stuttering mess when it came to Darren. I found it so cute. I raised my eyebrows in a way that said 'well?', urging him to spill the beans when he looked at me from the corner of his eye.

"W-well, we kind of...uh, I mean I-" his face had gone thermonuclear at this point, making me all the more interested in what he had to say. He groaned, rubbing a hand down his face. "D-Darren kissed me and for some reason- I couldn't help myself- I, Goddess! That boy makes me crazy." He said, still not answering the unspoken question. Not wanting to prod too much into their sex life I refrained from asking any questions. I just laughed at his adorable pout that earned me a soft glare.

"Suffice it to say, his dick may or may not have ended up in my mouth," My eyes widened, but I said nothing, letting him tell me at his own pace. I understood how much of a big step this was for him. It may seem rushed but when you've been denying the mating pull for so long... I can only imagine the restraint it took for him to not just submit to Darren already. However, I knew it had a lot to do with the fact that Josh didn't think he was good enough for his mate. "Afterwards, Darren," he paused as his cheeks reddened again, "...returned the favor. This morning we kissed but I freaked out on him. I don't know why. I guess I'm still scared that he's going to change his mind and reject me because he finds me disgusting. Before you say anything- yes, I know he wants me, that he makes a point to get across to me whenever he can, but-" I cut him off before he could continue.

"Josh, it's fine to still feel that way so soon after what you went through. And as much as I want you to feel free to talk to me about anything, this you should talk to your mate about. Have you considered letting him mark you?" I suggested. Josh bit his lip, considering my words.

"I want his mark," he said so quietly, I almost didn't hear him. I smiled softly, nothing more than to wrap my arms around him, but I refrained, allowing him to continue. "I know Darren wants to mark me too but he's waiting for me to give the okay. He is an Alpha so I know how hard it is for him to hold back and damnit if that doesn't make me want to just bare my neck for him. I'm already his. I want him to claim me."

"Do you trust him?" I asked softly, watching his facial expressions closely.

"With more than my life," he answered immediately.

"Then tell him. We both know that Darren would never hurt you on purpose." Josh bit his lip, finally looking me in the eye again.

"You're right, I'll talk to him tonight," he said more so to himself than me. "So, when are you and Zev gonna have kids?" He asked after a moment.

It was my turn to blush, and boy did I. My face felt overwhelmingly hot. Too hot. The heat trailed down my neck spreading through my chest till it reached my arm and legs. I was on fire. It was sweltering. I could feel my nipples tightening under the material of my shirt as a copious amount of slick rushed from me.

Every brush of my clothes against my fevered skin was like sensory overload. It was too much, everything was too much. A broken whimper slipped past my lips the heat rose to a dizzying degree.

No, not now! This can't be happening now!

This was the worst time for my heat to come. Jared could attack at any moment. We didn't have time for this. My panicking was interrupted by another delicious wave of heat wracking through my body, going straight to my straining cock.

"Zev, mmmph, I n-need Z-Zev, " I panted as my body began quivering, eager for the touch of my mate. Josh balked at me as his eyes widened in alarm.

"Shit, Kaleb!" Josh exclaimed hopping up off the couch. "Don't tell me you started your heat." I could only writhe helplessly. I was a complete incoherent mess.

Suddenly, Josh pulled me into his arms and rushed toward the stairs. I didn't have the wherewithal to wonder where he was taking me. I could only whimper at the unwanted contact. I didn't want to touch anyone but my mate.

"Fuck, where is Zev?!" I heard Josh's panicking voice through my lust-filled haze. He opened a door, somehow managing to shut it behind him before he plopped me down on a bed.

Zev's scent filled my nose, his smell still on the sheets, causing my heat to spike. I cried out as my erection strained against my bottoms. They rubbed against the heated flesh as my body undulated on the bed. Oh, goddess, I was one big ball of white-hot need. Fruitlessly, I palmed myself seeking relief but unable to find it.

Empty. I feel so empty.

Images of Zev's naked body flashed through my mind. I wanted him so bad. I needed him to fill me up. My hole clenched and unclenched at the thought of him sliding into me and finally taking me. Filling me up with his hot cum and claiming me permanently as his. A cry slipped past my lips at the thought. My back arched clear off the bed as the heat intensified. I wanted it so bad, I felt like I was going to burst out of my skin from need.

It hurts. It hurts. Too hot.

"T-Too h-hot," I whimpered as my hands tugged at my clothes. I needed them off. I felt like I was shoved into an oven set to broil and the only relief was my mate. I screamed when a particularly strong wave crashed through me. Fuck. I couldn't recall any of my previous heats being this intense. I felt like I was melting. If Zev didn't come soon, I was going to die. Yes, that's what this is. I'm dying. I had to be for it to hurt this bad.

"Don't worry, Kaleb I'm sure Zev will be here soon, " Josh tried to comfort me before walking towards the door. "I'll stand guard till he arrives," he said before walking out. I was too far gone to register any of it.

I let out a sigh of relief at finally getting my shirt off as some of my discomfort dissipated. I could feel Zev's urgency to get to me in the back of my mind but I couldn't focus on it, I was too wrapped up in trying to remove my pants. The restricting confines were painful and I needed them off.

Moaning, I kicked my pants and boxers off as my shaft slapped against my abdomen. I was dripping precum like a faulty faucet as my legs shook. The cool air helped a little as it brushed against my bare skin but the pain was still there. Unable to help myself I reached down, taking my stiff shaft in my hand. My eyes rolled back into my head as I have the hot flesh a pull from root to tip. I mewled as my hips jerked. My hand sped up, bringing me ever closer to completion. It felt so good.

But it wasn't enough.

I needed more.

I need Zev.

Zev, please. I called wantonly through our link.

What's wrong, little one, are you okay? Came his frantic response and just hearing his voice caused my hips to shoot off the bed as I moaned desperately.

Pleaaasse. I couldn't form a complete thought for the life of me, only beg nonsensically.

What? What is it?

Come fill me Zev, I feel so empty. I whined deliriously.

Hang on, little one. He growled before cutting the link, understanding the situation.

My breathing became erratic and I soon gave up on trying to jack myself off. Touching the sensitive organ only served to increase my frustration further. My cock lay pulsing against my stomach as my slick flowed from my ass, readying me to be bred.

The door flew open revealing a naked Zev. His eyes were a glowing emerald, radiating lust as they trailed down my body. He shoulders were taut and his chest was heaving as if he'd sprinted the whole way here. My gaze traveled lower, falling to his erect cock, jutting proudly in the air. I moaned out loud. A desperate sound that clawed it's way up my throat as I spread my legs in invitation, displaying everything that belonged to him.

He looked like sex personified, goddess, he set my blood on fire, making me feel like my cock would erupt just from looking at him. Zev closed the door before stalking towards the bed like a predator honing in on its prey. He took a deep breath, his eyes fluttering closed. When they opened again they looked impossibly brighter.

"You're calling for me, little one, I can practically taste your need for me." I shivered at the huskiness of his voice, whimpering as my heat flared again, setting my body on fire. I needed him so bad. Zev growled in response, crawling onto the bed blanketing me with his body. He ran his nose along my neck, paying special attention to my mark that felt like it was throbbing in tandem with my pulsing cock.

"You smell so fucking good." He groaned as a gasp escaped me from his proximity. "All fucking mine." He snarled in my ear causing another bout of slick to rush from me. His hand circled my neck. I mewled in response to the possessiveness in his voice, instantly tilting my head to the side in submission. Pulling back a little he looked me in the eyes.

"Kaleb, I can't keep my promise. So I'll make you another one. First, I am going to make love to you," he began, my eyes followed his every movement as he leaned down, flicking one of my pert nipples with his warm wet tongue. I sighed in pleasure at the feel of it. A pang of lust racing down my spine and pooling in my groin. "Then, I am going to bury myself as deep into this tight little ass I can go and fuck you until feel like you're going to fall apart. Fill you up with my seed and breed you." Something akin to a whimper mixed with a sob escaped my lips as the fire in my body went from flaming to roaring hot. "There is no way you won't be carrying my cubs when I'm done with you. I'll make sure of that." He growled lowly in my ear, rolling his hips against me.

My breath hitched at the feeling of his large shaft rutting against mine. The contact felt so good against my pulsating dick I came with a shout, my whole body shuddering underneath his. The relief lasted about a second before the stifling heat came back full force. My cock was still erect and now covered in my cum.

And I was still needy.

"Pl-Please, please, please," I moaned, begging for him to make his promises a reality. I squirmed under him causing my member to rub against abs, making me close my eyes in pleasure. My hole spasmed, desiring the feeling of his seed shooting into me and breeding me.

"Open your eyes little one, watch me make love to you," Zev commanded his voice gruff. My eyes snapped open in compliance. I looked on with bated breath as he returned his attention to my straining nipples. I damn near jumped out of my skin as he drug his teeth against the sensitive little nub. The sight alone was enough to make me feel like I was on the edge of cumming, but not enough to extinguish the fire in my core.

Reaching down with one giant hand, he circled my weeping star with one finger before pushing it in with little resistance. My needy hole swallowed the appendage greedily. I practically screamed as my back shot off the bed, a sniveling whimper forcing it's way up my throat. Zev pushed me back down, pressing my shoulder into the mattress as he began to move his finger in and out of me. His dick isn't even in me and I felt as if I could cum at any moment.

"Z-Zev, oh goddess- oh!" I cried out when he hit the special spot deep within me. My hips bucked as my head thrashed from side to side. My hole clenched along his finger at the feeling of being stretched. I was finally being filled, but it wasn't enough, I needed more. More of him, all of him, filling me, controlling me, dominating me.

I was trembling with arousal, ready to feel him thrust into me something much larger than his finger. Zev growled adding another digit before slamming them back into me and adding yet another.

I couldn't help but thrust against his hand, fucking myself on his thick fingers as they curled and uncurled within my wet, spasming chute. I would be embarrassed by actions if I wasn't so damn hot. It was messing with my brain. I didn't care what I had to do as long as I could find some relief.

"Ah an, s-so good, mmfn." I mewled.

"Are you going to come again just from my fingers, little one?" He teased as he jabbed my prostate again. My vision flickered as I did just that. My shaft exploded all over our chests, leaving my body a trembling mess. I wanted to groan in frustration because it still wasn't enough. I was still hard. Zev chuckled at my disgruntled expression.

"Alright, I think you're loose enough." I moaned as he removed his fingers from me and more slick rushed from me. "Goddess, Kaleb, you're so fucking wet." He groaned.

"O-Only for you," my wolf panted out and I could tell from the itchiness of my eyes that they had turned violet. Zev growled deeply, smashing our lips together in a possessive kiss. His tongue swept into my mouth and I didn't even put up a fight, I just let him take what he wanted and stake his claim on me. Submitting to him was a pleasure in and of itself. My wolf rolled over on his back showing our mate his belly. Zev chuffed in appreciation before pulling away, leaving my lips tingling.

I wanted to cry out for him to continue touching me, the pain was the worst when his hands weren't anywhere on me. He didn't go far, sitting back he gripped himself, rubbing the tip of his huge cock into my slick, coating the bulbous head with the clear fluid. Anticipation zinged through my veins, causing my already racing heart to beat even faster. Finally, Zev pressed the generous head into my hole, slowly pushing in. He groaned as my ass fluttered around his dick.

I grit my teeth at the pain, but I didn't want him to stop. I wanted to feel all of him in me. Once fully inside he stopped moving, waiting for me to adjust. My breathing was harsh and labored as I tried to ignore the discomfort in my ass. Luckily, the heat took most of the edge off.

Zev stroked my cheek comfortingly, kissing my tears away. Pressing his forehead to mine, his breath coming out harsh pants, he held perfectly still and waited until I tapped his shoulder, giving the okay for him to move.

Almost completely removing his cock, leaving in only the tip, he snapped his powerful hips forward buring himself in me again. He hit my prostate on the first stroke, causing me to come again as intense pleasure spread through me. My ass clenched around him as he released a guttural growl before doing it again and again and again.

Finally, I was full, so wonderfully full. I was being stretched beyond belief, his movements causing a pleasurable sting. It felt so good tears streamed down my face as I begged him not to stop.

"Harder, please" I moaned as his fist buried itself in my hair, pulling my head back. He snarled pistoning in and out of me at a dizzying pace. His thrusts had become so hard I was practically bouncing on his dick. I could hardly take the amount of pleasure he was giving me, it was borderline painful, but that just made it feel better. Releasing my hair Zev placed both hands on my hips as he moved me up and down on his length. I was unable to do anything else besides wrap my arms around his neck as my legs circled his waist.
