I was walking around only in Beau's shirt and boxers. Anything more and I'd be burning up worse than I already am. I sat on the bed next to Beau, holding his hand. He was burning up too. The cover was the only thing blocking his nakedness from his mother's calculating gaze. She pressed the cool rag against his forehead again, eyeing the marks I left on his neck with mild concern.

Shame filled my cheeks and I was unable to look her in the eye. She just sighed at my behavior shaking her head.

"Don't worry Kolbe, I'm not upset with you, honey, " Angelene cooed reassuringly. I bit my lip as tears pricked my eyes. I was a horrible mate. I'd hurt Beau. The man who had become my everything. Angelene noticed my distraught expression and she smiled at me comfortingly. "Calm down, it's okay. Everything is fine, " she soothed, "Your heat is just amplifying your emotions. You have absolutely nothing to feel bad about. It is completely natural to mark your mate, and since Beau is human, his reaction is normal too." She said, pressing the rag against his forehead again.

"It is?" I asked, peaking at her timidly. Angelene nodded with a bright smile. Knowing she wasn't mad at what I'd done to her son was comforting. It made me feel less bad. I would never intentionally hurt Beau. Never. He's my mate, all I'll ever want is for him to be happy.

"Didn't Aliyaa teach you about the bite?" She asked carefully. I nodded. "Can you tell me what you remember?" She encouraged. It was so long ago when my mother and I had this conversation, but I could remember the gist of it. As a young untrained pup, she would always press the importance of not biting the other kids. It was dangerous.

"She told me not to bite humans. It's not safe, I would h-hurt them, " I surmised. Angelene leaned back in the chair she'd pulled up next to the bed. Her gaze was gentle and patient.

"No, not hurt them. Calm down, honey, don't let your emotions block your memory, " She encouraged. I nibbled on my lip, trying to remember why my mother had said it was so bad to bite others, besides the fact that it was a rude and violent thing to do. There was more to it than that. The way she insisted on reminding me everyday. It wasn't just bad manners, if I were to bite someone it would-

"C-Change them?" I said although it came out as a question. Angelene nodded as her smile widened.

"He's fine, just changing. He was bitten by someone with the genes of an Alpha after all, " She turned to look at her son again. The rest of my memory clicked into place after that. My mom was an Alpha. I had forgotten and I don't know how to feel about that. "Don't worry he'll be more than okay when he wakes up. When that happens he'll be more wolf than man. He won't tolerate anyone other than you Kolbe." I took my eyes away from Angelene, gazing down at Beau's grimacing face. Though her words were comforting, I still felt like crap for not being able to control myself.

"So he will be okay, right?" I asked worriedly. Angelene smiled softly and nodded. I don't know if she secretly unsure and just trying to keep me calm or what but it was working. Some of my guilt lessened. I brought Beau's hand to my lips, kissing his knuckles. Mama's eyes filled with warmth and pride, a look only a mother could give and she wasn't directing it towards her son, she was giving it to me. My cheeks flushed as I gripped that same hand against my chest.

"He just needs rest, he'll wake up when he's ready, " Mama murmured before standing. "How about I make some breakfast for us Kolbe?" My stomach growled at the mention of food. I looked over at the bedside clock. It was six am. Beau and I had been going at it for...hours. I turned scarlet. I had called Mama out her sleep to come to help me. I was beyond grateful that she came. I was having a panic attack but she managed to calm me down enough to get a gist of the situation.

"O-Okay, Mama, " I grinned shyly. Her face lit up in happiness. She kissed my forehead before leaving the room. I got up and went to the bathroom. I hope another freezing shower will help cool the heat in me. My body didn't seem to understand the situation and my heat was still in full effect. The cool water helped for an hour at most. This would be the third shower I'd had to take this morning.

I could only hope Beau woke up soon, not only to ease my worry and stress but to touch me in all the new places I'd just discovered. It's only been a few hours but I needed his hands on me. Gripping me, moving me, holding me. Caressing my body in ways I'd never experienced before.

I quickly changed the direction my thoughts were going before I became a needy heap on the floor. I could already feel my slick sliding down my leg. I bit my lip as my legs buckled. Goddess I hope he wakes up soon.

-

Beau was asleep for four days. Each day was absolute torture. The stress and worry tore at my heart every hour that passed and his eyes hadn't opened. I made sure to wipe his body clear of sweat every night and the sight of his naked body would do nothing to help the heat still running rampant through my body. It had increased to the point where clothes were no longer an option. All I could stand to have on my body were Beau's boxers and a thin sheet covered in his scent.

Mama would stop by every so often to check on us and cook for me since I didn't know how to do it myself. I'd probably burn the house down by accident or something. She had just left a moment ago after having lunch with me to go take care of some errands.

I was now sitting next to Beau's sleeping form, holding his hand in my much smaller one, my head on his chest as I listened to his heartbeat. He was still burning up, his skin almost as hot as mine. I lost count of how long I've been sitting here just staring at his face. He wasn't grimacing anymore at least. In fact, his face looked peaceful like he was just sleeping and not undergoing supernatural change. 

I really don't think I can handle this much longer. The guilt has been eating away at me. I should have been more careful. I should have stopped myself. But I didn't and now I was stuck in a mess of my own creation. My heat is only getting worse and by this point, I'm practically touch-starved. 

After a few more minutes I finally decided to get up and stop hovering. Not that there was much more I could do besides sitting next to my comatose mate all day. Still, I needed to take Angelene's advice and get some fresh air sometimes. I walked on unsteady legs towards the kitchen, my mouth was dry and all I want right now is some ice-cold water. Grabbing a bottle from the fridge I quickly downed its contents. The beverage helped to cool the warmth in my body. The effects were fleeting, however, the only thing that could permanently soothe the fire was Beau. 

I threw the plastic away before heading back to his room to resume my vigil. I don't when the last time I slept properly was. I can't sleep without Beau but I can't sleep next to him at night because it's absolute torture. Torture that I deserve.

I walked into our room and the first thing my eyes land on- as always- is Beau. But he wasn't asleep. His eyes were open, peering around the room as if he was seeing it for the first time. My heart literally stopped in my chest, I forgot how to breathe for a moment as my whole being just froze. I can barely see through the tears clouding my vision but that didn't stop me from smiling like an idiot. I wanted to run over to him and fuss over him, make sure he was actually awake and brain hadn't tricked itself. Instead, his coal-black gaze pinned me in place sending a shiver down my spine. A feeling of something indescribable fluttered through me, causing my knees to shake. 

I wasn't scared of him. I'm not scared of him. The two black orbs pinning me into place instead of his beautiful brown ones didn't fill me with trepidation. Not even the predatory way he rose from the bed staring me down frightened me. No, it did the exact opposite. It called to the primal side of my being. The wolf in me delighting in the attention as well as the raw, unchecked power radiating from our mate. My breath caught in my throat as he growled dominantly. His shaft was hard, dripping wet from the bulbous head.

My knees shook, slick slipping down my thighs copiously. My body knew who it's Alpha was. Who it would submit to, who owned it. Beau's lip lifted from his teeth in a snarl, showing his incisors in a warning. I quickly broke eye contact, moving my gaze to the carpeted floor. To stare an Alpha in the eye was inviting trouble. This was my mate, my Beau, but right now he was an Alpha. One whose main goal is to assert his dominance over me. My cheeks flushed pink, my breathing turning into shallow pants. 

On their own, my feet decided to move closer to Beau. Sniffling I wiped my eyes as I timidly peaked up at my mate. His muscles were coiled ready to spring, flexing as if testing their newfound strength. Power exuded from him in overwhelming waves causing the wolf in me to roll over, baring his belly in submission. Once I was within range his arm shot out pulling me against his hard body roughly. Beau tilted my head back with his free hand, his onyx orbs assessing my face curiously. The wolf didn't know who I was, this was our first meeting, all he knew -instinctively- was that I belonged to him. He sniffed at my neck, growling as he sensed my heat. I whimpered baring my neck for him.

"Mate," He rumbled, his voice deep and rich. The sound did crazy things to my body. I was overloaded with desire, to the point where I thought I was going to burst. I moaned softly as I melted against him, eyes hooded with desire. I could feel his stiffness pressing against me, restricted only by the cloth wrapped around me. Beau removed the obstacle and threw it across the room, his dark eyes were trained on my body. Even if I were to blush he wouldn't be able to see it, my whole being was practically flushed pink.

He released a truly animalistic growl before picking me up and placing me on the bed. At that moment I wanted nothing more than for him to have his way with me. My chest rose and fell in rapid pants as the heat in me made my vision hazy. 

"Beau," I sighed just as he ripped his boxers from my hips, tearing them at the seems. He tossed them away before placing his large hands on my waist. The sparks erupting from the contact forced a moan up my throat and Beau growled in response. Flipping me onto my stomach, my mate used one hand to push my chest against the sheets and the other to line my sopping hole with his pulsing member. There was no gentleness in his touch. Only desire. I quivered, as he moved me as he wished. I was hard beyond belief and wanted nothing more than for him to display his dominance over me.

Beau gave no warning before shoving himself into me, hitting that spot deep inside forcefully. I came instantly with a helpless whine, wiggling my hips so he wouldn't stop. He didn't need the encouragement. Beau slammed into me ferociously, his grip on my waist tight and probably leaving bruises. I could only clench the sheets for dear life as I whimpered and mewled in pleasure with teary eyes. This was nothing like our first mating. Then Beau had been gentle and sweet but now he took what he wanted, rendering me a sloppy mess under him. 

"Nhaa, mmm..." I mewled. The sounds of our bodies moving together filled the room alongside the shameless moans spilling from my mouth. "Alpha," my wolf whined. I was practically gushing slick at this point as my heat flared again.

Beau's powerful thrusts threatened to break my smaller body, his fat cock stretching my hole deliciously as he filled me over and over again. The mushroomed head rubbed against my walls forcing them to mold to its shape. I couldn't see him, but I could hear his ragged pants and feel his heated gaze on my skin. His desire as an Alpha was to claim, dominate and breed me. I don't know if the latter is possible, but I would be lying if I said I didn't want all of the above. 

"P-Please make me c-cum for y-you, Alpha," I begged. I can't even recognize myself. I've never behaved like this before. The heat was so consuming I can hardly think straight, the only the I could focus on, the only thing I could feel, was the need to cum and be filled with my Alpha's hot seed. My silent mate didn't respond verbally but I could sense how much my words affected him. His grip became tighter, his thrusts even harsher, punishing almost. I could feel my body twinge in painful protest but it was drowned out by the overwhelming sensation of my mate pounding into that pleasure spot deep inside me. It was enough to drive me insane.

Snarling viciously Beau wrapped his large hand wrapped around my throat, pulling my torso up. He was so much bigger than me that in this position my fingertips barely grazed the bed. Waves of pleasure crashed through me making my head spin. His large balls slapped against mine sending shocks up the length of my cock. It feels so good. Tears blurred my half-lidded vision as drool escaped the side of my mouth.

  "Aaah mmf.... alpha!" I came, my whole body spasming uncontrollably in my mate's firm hold. My ass clamped down on Beau's thick shaft causing him to growl lowly. I went limp as he continued fucking into me through my orgasm. I was so sensitive that I came again and again and still he showed no signs of stopping. I felt lightheaded after a while, barely able to register to the havoc he was wrecking on my body anymore. I was just a ball of overwhelming pleasure, I couldn't separate the feeling of him simply fucking me and the sensation of releasing. It was all too good.

A few minutes later his movements became choppier but didn't lose any of the force that had been driving them. Beau roared as he came, proclaiming his conquest. I whimpered weakly as he eventually slowed. Slowed, but he didn't stop. And I don't know if I want him to. Being dominated and handled however my Alpha saw fit was oddly euphoric.  I never wanted this feeling to end.

He gently placed me back on the bed, positioning me on my side. My Alpha took his pleasure from my body until he was sated, releasing so much cum inside me I swear it felt like my stomach expanded in order to accommodate it all. And I didn't want to waste a single drop. I want all of it painting my insides, claiming me. He was still a little rough, but much gentler than before. Leaning down he pressed his face into the side of my neck, dragging his nose along the slender column before stopping at the juncture where my neck and shoulder met. I knew what was going to happen next and I waited on bated breath, my whole being tuning to every move my mate made.

His fangs pierced my skin savagely, a low rumble vibrating through his massive chest. I whined back submissively as I came again. This time so forcefully my eyes rolled into the back of my head, my mouth opening into an 'o' but no sound escaped. I don't know what happened but it was like I detached from my body, the pleasure was just too intense for me to handle. I came back down slowly, my body feeling like mush. I couldn't move at all. I didn't even have enough energy to move my head. From what I could see of my body, my skin was covered with bruises and red marks where he'd gripped me. Others in places that I didn't know he'd even touched.

I felt conquered. My wolf was even silent. Yet I was content. Perfect even. Just a little sleepy. My neck throbbed dully as Beau licked the wound clean. Once he was satisfied he sat back. His coal-black eyes shone with masculine pride. He'd thoroughly claimed me as his, engraving that fact into the very core of my being. His smirk was predatory, fangs visible behind his full lips.

"Little mate," Beau rumbled, "You are mine." His lips spread in a lupine smile, looking almost unnatural on a human face. I trembled, blushing profusely.

"Y-Yours..." I croaked softly. He kissed my lips forcefully, melding our mouths together. My mate immediately controlled the kiss, slipping his tongue into my mouth. I moaned weakly trying my best to reciprocate. G-Gentle, please. I asked through our newly created link. I didn't want to stop kissing him, but I simply couldn't keep up. He relented, allowing me to set the pace. When he pulled away he pecked my lips softly before sitting back up. His gaze turned to the bruises on my skin, he caressed one on my hip the was in the form of his hand.

"Beautiful," Beau murmured and I blushed harder. His eyes flicked up to meet mine. "You are perfect, little mate," I didn't think it was possible but my face got redder.

"T-Thank you," my voice was raw and trembling but I couldn't help the smile on my face."S-So are you," He smiled again, still like a wolf in human skin. He'd learn the difference in expressions between this form and his other one eventually.

"What is your name?" He asked, curiously.

"Kolbe," I smiled weakly.

"And mine?" His head tilted to the side. I tried not to let my confusion show. Both halves of Beau, wolf and man, are one. At some point when the wolf was coming into existence, the human half should have acknowledged it and melded becoming one entity. As my mom liked to say one coin just different sides.

"Beau," I said and my mate blinked. He blinked again and his eyes were back to the deep chocolate hue I'd fallen in love with. Beau seemed to snap out of a daze. He looked around trying to gain his bearings and then his eyes landed on me. His brown orbs immediately filled with concern as they took in the bruises littering my body. I was too out of it to register what was happening. I moaned as he took his semierect shaft out of me, causing his warm cum to run down my thighs. The residual shocks of pleasure rolled through me causing me to tremble.  Beau's eyes widened as he pieced together what happened. He pushed my hair from my forehead gently, worry and confusion taking over his features.

I wanted to tell him that it was alright and I was okay, but I couldn't get the words out. My lids felt heavy, to the point where I couldn't keep them open. I'm exhausted. I barely heard Beau's voice as I was swept into darkness.
