Chapter 7
Elijah
The sleeping bundle in my arms hardly stirred and when we arrived at the airstrip, I didn’t have the heart to wake her.
With as little jostling as possible, I carried her onto the plane myself and tucked her into one of the oversized seats in first class.
I wrapped her in a warm blanket, and she snuggled into a tight little ball.
I brushed the stray hairs off her forehead, sitting close by and just letting her sleep.
The drive to the airport had been far smoother than I thought possible. Theo had sent a number of wolves on ahead in the morning just to look for signs of ambush or potential places of attack, and there had been nothing.
I wasn’t dumb enough to believe that we were out of the window of danger yet though. It was true that putting more distance between Amir and my pack would be safer, but I had made a powerful enemy. I couldn’t forget that. Not ever.
I sat down in the seat next to my mate and pulled my laptop out of my bag.
I made several more inquiries with both humans and monsters alike in my quest to fully secure our new position in the world.
I heard back from a few of them very quickly.
I had several allies swear their fealty to me rather than Amir. I was in a strong position already.
The only thing to do now in preparation for our arrival was to give my pack a name. It would be my legacy.
I closed my eyes and pressed the back of my head against the seat behind me. My mind raced with possibilities, but none of them seemed right until the Rising Sun wolf pack occurred to me. In time, I aimed to eclipse the power of the Crimson Shadows.
My email pinged with the satellite images that Antonio had provided for me.
In the center was the chalet itself. The surrounding territory had small areas that were circled and labeled as vampire dens.
I had information from multiple sources that there weren’t that many vampires defending the place, but it seemed off that they’d spread their forces out over such a large plot of land.
Maybe they were just that inexperienced and hadn’t had to defend their territory before, but I wasn’t willing to take any chances by underestimating their power.
He’d provided heat map data along with the satellite images, but it was essentially useless to me because the vampires wouldn’t show up on the scanners anyway. I had no intentions of hurting any of the humans living there, just ousting the vampires that held them captive.
I studied the topography, trying to get a handle on the layout of the roads and paths to each potential stronghold. The more I became familiar with the territory, the more I began to realize the surrounding dens were just outposts spread out to maximize their ability to guard their territory.
I understood the idea of it. The placement of each one was strategically situated to oversee much of the mountains and the main points in and out of the area.
It was a respectable strategy, but the terrain would also limit their ability to effectively defend each outpost and their central place of power.
They’d need at least double the number of vampires in practice, and all my sources indicated that they didn’t have anywhere close to that.
I knew what we had to do once we arrived.
I could feel the plane beginning its descent and I closed my laptop.
I slid it back inside my briefcase and grasped Ashleigh’s hand in mine.
I squeezed it a little. Still asleep, she unconsciously reached for me, turning her body toward mine as if she was seeking me out.
I jostled her arm slightly and with a groan, her bright green eyes blinked open slowly.
With an adorable stretch, she yawned and tried to rub the sleep out of her eyes.
“We’re on a plane?” she asked drowsily.
“I figured it would go much faster than driving all the way there,” I answered with a grin.
“You’re right, I guess,” she murmured. Another yawn pulled at her, and I enjoyed the innocent view of her delicious-looking little throat. “Are we almost there?”
“We’ve begun our descent now and will be landing very shortly. I wanted to wake you myself, instead of during the landing,” I explained. Sometimes landings were a bit rough. Waking her myself would be far gentler.
“I appreciate that. I’ve never been particularly fond of flying,” she confessed.
“It’s a necessary evil sometimes,” I told her, and she nodded sleepily.
“To be honest, I think this is only the third time I’ve been on one. Father didn’t usually let me travel much,” she continued. I could hear a nervous quiver on the edge of her tone. Immediately, I reached out and took her hand in mine.
The moment my fingers took a hold of hers, she breathed a visible sigh of relief and the tenseness I’d seen almost seemed to bleed right out of her.
When the plane drew closer to the ground, her hand tightened around mine.
The landing went smoothly, and the plane came to a stop quickly.
I still didn’t let go. When the time came to deplane, I was a bit more assertive with her.
I kept a hold of her arm and held her close and she seemed to welcome it.
Once we were off the plane, she didn’t seem bothered anymore.
The airport we’d arrived at was a smaller one, and I’d arranged for all other flights to reroute other than my own.
We moved quickly to the facility, where there were several vehicles waiting for us.
There were two buses, a number of SUVs, and an extended Escalade waiting for me and my mate.
I led her forward as the rest of my pack segmented and climbed into the rest of the waiting vehicles.
I couldn’t help but admire her body beside me. Her hand squeezed mine and I smiled down at her. A chilly breeze whipped her skirt around her legs, and I smirked as she rushed to cover herself knowing full well that she was completely bare under that dress.
I didn’t say a word, but her blush when her eyes met mine was utterly delicious.
I opened the car door for her. The back was closed off from the driver, which I preferred especially when it would come to dealing with my rebellious mate in the future.
I glanced down at her backside, the cloth of her dress hugging it salaciously in the wind. I would be the only one who ever saw her naked. I would be the only one who would ever punish her pretty ass when she needed it.
I would be the only one who would ever know what she sounded like when I fucked it. I stifled a groan.
With a deep steadying breath, I helped her climb inside while ignoring the iron spike in my slacks. My cock throbbed painfully. I’d taken her this morning, but I was more than ready to do it again. I got inside with her and closed the door.
Of her own accord this time, she scooted closer to me. I kissed her temple and she moved even closer, pressing herself against me. I could smell the scent of her arousal on the air. It was getting harder to ignore.
The car pulled away from the airport entrance. It would take some time to make our way to the chalet, so there was more than enough time to take care of my needy little mate sitting right next to me.
I wanted to test her obedience.
“Spread your legs, little wolf,” I commanded.
She looked around, likely noticing that the windows were tinted and that the divider between us and the driver was thick enough to hide whatever happened back here.
She looked quizzically at me as if she was trying to decide whether to obey me.
Eventually, she sat back and tentatively opened her thighs.
“Pull up your dress. Show me what’s mine,” I demanded.
Her chin lifted in defiance for a moment before her fingers began to dip to the bottom hem of her dress.
Slowly, she lifted it for me. She paused once it hit the very tops of her thighs and I cleared my throat expectantly.
It was the only chance I would give her to be obedient for me.
If she wasn’t a good girl for me, she would find out that I had other ways to punish her that were infinitely more shameful than a spanking.
She was a good girl though, and she pulled up her dress. Her inner thighs were glistening, her little pussy positively soaked. I grasped her thigh and squeezed it tight enough to make her whimper.
“You’re very wet, little wolf,” I observed out loud, and she blushed furiously.
“Yes, alpha,” she breathed. Her response made my cock jump.
“Kneel in front of me with your thighs spread. I want that little pussy on display,” I ordered.
Her cheeks deepened in color from bright pink to red.
She opened her mouth a few times, before she thought better of it and lowered herself to the soft carpeted floor before me.
She rearranged her dress so that I could see all of her just like I wanted.
I took a long moment to savor the sight of her weeping pussy before I flicked my gaze back to hers.
“I’m going to fuck your mouth, my pretty wolf. If you do a very good job, I will make sure you come very hard for me as a reward,” I explained and just when I thought it wasn’t possible, her flush deepened even more. She squirmed, visibly curious as she glanced down at my cock.
“You’ll let me come for you?” she asked. There was a part of her that seemed averse to the idea of getting her pretty little mouth fucked, but it appeared that an even bigger part of her seemed to be aroused by the idea, especially when it was combined with an orgasm for her.
“I will. You’ll do it over my knee. You should know something else, little wolf. You can scream as loud as you want in here. No one will hear you except me,” I continued.
I watched a drop of arousal roll down her thigh.
“I’ve never—” she began, and I shook my head.
“I know. As my mate, you will learn. I plan to enjoy those pretty lips often,” I said.
The corner of her lip lifted wistfully. I unbuckled my belt and slowly freed my cock. When it was finally free from the confines of my slacks, I groaned as I slid my fingers over its velvety surface. She fidgeted as I opened my knees, licking her pretty lips with that little pink tongue.
“Come closer. Put your hands on my thighs. You will keep them there until you have swallowed everything I give you,” I directed.
I could see her swallow nervously at the prospect, but she did as I asked.
She took in the full sight of my cock up close.
I liked that she couldn’t take her eyes off of it.
There were moments of hesitation, fear, and anticipation in her eyes.
With my hand, I angled my cock toward her.
“Open your mouth. Start by sucking the tip and gradually work to take in more. You don’t have to take it all the way inside your throat, but you will show me enthusiasm.
If I think you’re not putting forward your best effort, I will spank you until you’re begging for another chance to try again,” I explained.
“I understand,” she whispered nervously.
“Good girl,” I answered, and I caught her gleeful smile before she dipped her head in an attempt at hiding her eager expression.
She looked away for only a second though.
With excited anxiety painted all over her face, she crawled forward and placed her hands on my thighs.
Tentatively, she licked her lips before leaning forward.
She kissed the tip hesitantly before she licked all the way down my length.
She gazed back at my cock with a sense of worship, and I only grew harder.
When she opened her lips and granted me the gift of her mouth for the very first time, I had trouble holding back at the truly decadent sight.
I groaned openly when she sucked at my length and pushed just a little past the head.
Wow.
“Swirl your tongue and suck harder, little wolf,” I demanded, but I was already extremely pleased with her efforts.
The fear of punishment made her wetter and the potent scent of her arousal only confirmed it.
She tried to bob her head up and down, slurping around me so beautifully that I knew that this moment would be painted in my memory forever.
Fuck.
Her mouth was absolute heaven.
She pushed a little further and choked, but she got a hold of herself quickly.
I sat back, enjoying the way her tongue swirled up and down my cock.
Her cheeks were drawn in with her efforts to suck me and before long, the craving to remind her who was in control was almost too much to bear.
Occasionally, she would glance up at me in triumph, like she was the one controlling my pleasure and I knew I would have to do something about that soon.
She suckled me and I drew my hand up her arm, allowing my fingers to just glance along her neck before I fisted the hair at the back of her scalp. She started in surprise, and I moved forward just enough to gain leverage over her so I could thrust into her mouth.
“This pretty mouth just needs a hard fucking, doesn’t it, my little wolf?
” I growled and she whimpered against my cock.
The vibration traveled deep down into my balls, and they squeezed tight, which only made me roar with pleasure.
She tried to use her hands on my thighs to push away from me, but I didn’t allow her that.
“You will answer me. I don’t care that your mouth is full,” I demanded, and she squirmed, but I sensed her arousal had only gotten that much stronger.
It took her several tries as I slowly fucked her mouth, but eventually she was able to mutter the words “yes, alpha,” and the way her tongue bounced off my cock was just as delicious as I had imagined it would be.
I took over after that.
“Remove one hand and tease yourself. I want that little clit ready for me for when you go over my knee,” I snarled, and she shakily dropped her right hand between her thighs. I fucked her throat faster, enjoying the warm wetness as much as I dared before I allowed myself to let go.
I could have warned her that I was coming, but I didn’t. Her surprise was just as incredible as I’d imagined it would be.
She choked at first as my cum hit the back of her throat.
She tried to pull her head away, but I forced her down so that she had no choice other than to swallow around my cock.
I could feel the back of her throat squeezing tightly around me and I roared, pouring the rest of me into her with wild abandon.
My hips savagely thrust into her pretty mouth and when I was finally finished, I groaned and released the back of her head.
“Clean off every drop with your tongue, little wolf. When you’re done, you will get over my knee and come for me,” I demanded. I couldn’t wait to touch her and by the way she was squirming with her hand between her thighs, she couldn’t wait for me to touch her either.
