"The Pack"

She screamed in anger and pain, something cracked against the wood door and released a long loud howl. Then broken glass echoed through the thick stone walls and she cried.

"I want to rip him in pieces! Little piece of shit!" Angry, she growled at the servant that just came in to bring her food. The poor soul flew as soon as he had a chance.

"Shut up already, you will have your chance for revenge, now focus and stop being a bitch." The dark shadow in the corner yelled at her in frustration, she howled again and didn't reply. He sighed and walked to her while she was giving him her back, then he pulled her by the arm and made her face him. He put his other hand on her throat and squeezed it firmly, her red eyes with tears wide in shock. He pulled her closer and without hesitation he hit her on her face. "I said calm... the fuck... down!" He released her and she whined as she gave a few steps back, looking at him with fear and rage. He stared at her. "I will get you the chance for you to get even... though, you are even now... you killed their child... but I don't care, I will give you a chance to hit back." He said and then he turned around, walking back to the window.

She stared at him blank; then took deep breaths trying to calm down. She gave one last look at her brother's head on a box at the table and then closed her eyes and held the tears. She then walked at him and hit his back twice. "Dont talk to your mate like that." She said emotionless and turned around heading towards the exit.

She didn't have a chance. Before she could even notice he pushed her towards the couch and she felt on her knees on the floor, her face inches away of the same destination, he growled and shifted so quick, she didn't had time to react to that either. His teeth teared her clothes apart, grasping her skin while he did this. She turned her head in anger but it was too late, he opened his jaw and held her neck and half her head in place, forcing her down on the couch base and without warning or words of any type, the huge wolf that was now him took her from behind and thrusted his cock deep until his balls slapped her sored abused pussy. She screamed but couldn't move, he was too strong, too large. His cock twitched at her scream and he growled louder, sinking the tip of his fangs in her skin and making her bleed. She then howled and whimpered, and he started thrusting harder and deeper, claiming her.

'You will respect me, or I will personally kill you... know your place bitch!' He mentally shouted at her and she moaned. He smiled 'Of course, you love this, don't you?' he added, grinning as he fucked her in an animal frenzy, his paws sinking its claws on her back. He held her in place and kept thrusting until he was close, finally releasing her head to howl up to the moon and sink his cock and sacks into her, making her cry out in pain and lust, she followed quickly after, spasming and groaning while she dripped small drops of her juice and his semen. He kept his grip firm, emptying his seed in her womb. She started to shake and he pulled her to the floor, both resting on the ground, his paws releasing her and revealing bruises.

'I will get you a chance for revenge, now shut the fuck up and stop whining, you won't get your brother back that way.' He told her with a firm definitive voice and she couldn't do more than nod and close her eyes; they will be joined for at least a couple of hours more until he could leave her so she would then cry alone.

*Meadow*

I loved the fact that we were now in a Hummer. I have nothing against the other fancy cars either Caleb or Alex and Cara owned, but a hummer screamed for adventure, and I have been feeling like this was one from the start.

Caleb puts me on his lap at the front passenger side and even though I know the seat could hold us both comfortably sitting together, I didn't mind to be this close, in fact, I loved it.

Gideon was quiet on the back seat, Cara not far from him on the side. Alex was our designated driver and he was relaxed.

"So, you were saying Cara?" I push again for more information and I knew Cara was the one who most likely will give it to me without sugar toppings.

"You never get tired? Are you sure she is human Alpha?" She says in amusement and Caleb sighs and shakes his head chuckling.

"Well, even though we believe in finding our mates, some are still stubborn and think they can claim the Goddess made a mistake and all those stupid things, and challenge the other to fight for the mate. It actually happens more between females rather than males." She shrugged and laughed.

"Did someone challenged you for Alex?" I ask completely curious on that subject and Alex replied with a large heart felt laugh.

"Her? are you sure you are asking the right questions? No one in her right mind would challenge her. She is nuts." He said in an strange foreign accent. She grinned and pulled her tongue out at him, knowing he could see what she was doing through their bond.

I learned that the bond between consummated mates was strong enough to allow the other -feel- what the mate was doing or thinking, even without directly seen them. I felt very much interested into that special connection, and it made me more curious to learn what else I would get if I did it too.

"There was actually one silly girl who had a crush on him, but she never gathered the guts to actually challenge me. Don't get fooled by his charms Meadow, he had this annoyed killer look, he already scared everyone away from him so it made my job easier. Not that I had to do much, when he felt the mating pull, he became a puppy behind my tail." She grinned and both me and Caleb laughed. I was also happy to see Gideon smile at this.

"What will happen if someone challenges me? I am in no condition to fight any wolf, I am just human." I said and Caleb tightened his arms around me.

"No one will. And there are rules, fight must be fair, if a girl challenges you, she has to wait for you to change first, if you chose to, and seven full moons after your first shift. In other words, you would be ready to take care of any of them by then." He said while brushing my arm with his fingers. I smiled at him for the way he tried to make me feel at ease, even thought I was still concerned, his words made me relax.

There was still a big part of explanation to do from him on the matters of the war that was going on in his land and allies, but he asked me not to mention it yet in front of Alex and Cara. I knew that them losing their child was a product of the current war, and it would be incredibly stupid of me to mention it in front of them. Not to mention, rude.

We turned left from the main road and after twenty or so minutes of bumpy road, the air felt different. We crossed two security gates guarded by nothing but tall metal walls and mechanical instruments. After the last gate, we drove through a long dirt road in the middle of what seemed like a large forest area. I heard a loud howl and tensed, but saw Caleb smile and lean his head back, opening the window of the car and howling in return. Moments later, I saw a wave of wolves coming out of the woods and running at both sides of the car. I was shocked and thrilled. Caleb's eyes sparked with joy. "The pack is greeting us."

I saw a huge variety of wolves running, different colors and sizes. They were howling and running at each side and I felt a huge sense of brotherhood and familiarity to the simple act that moved them to greet their leader. Gideon was still quiet but his eyes grew wide with what he was seeing.

We drove for another thirty minutes or so when the trees gave room to a wide village, the wolves never stopped their cavorting. Small but very sophisticated houses that resembled one another, separated by small fences but all equally sized. They were all around a big circle. I figured there were over fifty houses and I knew I was short on the count. The two story houses faced what it would be the center of the village and there, several buildings filled the roles of bar, meeting place, and others including the command center for all officers and warriors.

As the car started to slow down in front of the command center, Cara grinned and looked at me. "And by the way, we aren't afraid of being around each other nude, so don't get scared nor insulted by that, it is natural for us. We would bring too much attention to us if we needed to replenish our wardrobe at the rate we tear our clothes off when we shift." She laughed and jumped out as soon as the car came to full stop. Alex climbed out and opened the door for us, then joined Cara and together walked towards the wolves and on their way they shifted to join them.

We climbed out of the car and Caleb stood proudly next to me, his hand kept mine firmly, and from the many wolves in front of us, one came in a quick pace, shifting mid way and standing in front of us in just a few seconds. "Welcome home, Alpha. Your pack has missed you." He extended his hand and Caleb took his arm in return, pulling him in an embrace.

"Craig, you have been very valuable. Thank you." He said and released him, never caring of his nude state. I on the other hand, tried my best not to blush nor look anywhere below his chest, which seemed to be at my eye level.

Craig had a spark in his eyes, and a smile that was in perpetual state. He looked down at me and bowed his head in a sincere gesture. "Luna, an honor to finally meet you." He said to me and I felt his words sink in.

I bowed my head in return and smiled at him. "Craig... I've heard a lot about you. Please let me thank you." I said and he blinked in surprise, looking at Caleb first, then back at me.

"Thank me? for what?" He asked.

"Thanks to you, Alex and Cara had time to heal and Caleb to court me like humans do, all while there had been danger in your land. I know it must have been hard, thank you."

He stood there looking at me with disbelief, and at a certain point I thought I said something wrong, blushing as I leaned against Caleb. I looked up at him and he was smiling. Craig finally spoke. "She is something, Alpha... I like her."

"Good, glad you do. Just keep your distance from her." He replied with a teasing grin. I knew he wasn't jealous of me towards him, I could see they knew each other well and Caleb trusted in him greatly. Craig raised both hands as if in surrender and laughed.

After that we walked a few steps ahead into the large wolves that came to surround us, all this while Caleb grinned and glowed with pride. The wolves were friendly and although they would sniff me every now and then, they kept their playful behaviour. There were so many of them, I was stunned.

Caleb raised his hand and almost every single one of them sat and listened. "My pack, I've missed you."

They howled and I could almost distinguish their smiles. "I've come from a long road I didn't know I had to take, all of this to find the one thing missing in my life." He lifted my hand in his and kissed it while everyone looked at the simple yet meaningful act. "I will not demand from you to treat her special, I simply ask you to respect her and let her show you all the kind of human she is. As I am sure you will all find her, like I did, to be a kind, simple, honest and just soul." He continued and I felt myself blush. "Now my friends, my pack... it is time to celebrate. Our Luna is home!" He finished, and I gasped.

The wolves howled and started to move around, some shifting into their human forms, other remaining the same but rubbing against others or just socializing. I was still in shock when he pulled me against his chest, his arms tight around me. He just acknowledged me as the Luna of his pack, and I felt the importance of that simple act in my skin.

In one simple way he claimed me as his and announced me officially, leaving no doubt to what I was for him and them. I leaned up to kiss him and he kissed me back with passion, and as he finally broke apart, "Mine..." he whispered again.
