What had I done to Kolbe? There were so many bruises. You could see my handprints where I'd gripped him. A part of me deep down felt this primal satisfaction at seeing all the marks decorating his skin. My marks. I couldn't help the rush of possessiveness I felt or the arousal. 

Mine. Growled a guttural voice. It was so distant that I thought I'd imagined it. Brushing it off I readjusted the covers around Kolbe for the umpteenth time. I don't remember anything. The only thing I can recall is having possibly the best orgasm of my life before blacking out completely. Everything after that was blank and intangible. Then, I wake up, or come out of some weird-ass version of sleepwalking, sleep-fucking? And I'm balls deep in a pleasure drunk Kolbe who's covered in bruises. His face was red and wet from tears, his hair a sexy mess and his tiny body trembling. He was still moaning when I pulled myself out of him. He was full of so much cum it leaked from his abused hole. Kolbe's thighs were a mess of slick and my seed, his small chest covered with his own release. He looked like I'd fucked him within an inch of his life.

He looked delicious. I probably would have gotten hard if it weren't for the prevailing feeling of confusion. I 'bout had a panic attack, thinking I must have forced myself on him in order him to be in such a state. It didn't help that he passed out on me. What the hell happened? What the fuck had I done? Then I had scooped Kolbe out of our bed, and noticing that he weighed absolutely nothing. Like I'd picked up a sheet of paper instead of a whole human being. Even now I felt as though I could break him with the smallest touch.  I had cleaned up the both of us and carried Kolbe to the guest room since the sheets on our bed were a mess. On the way into the guest room, I'd somehow ripped the door off its hinges. All in all, life is one big mind fuck right now.

I looked for Kaycee, our puppy but she was nowhere to be found. Eventually, I saw the note my mom had left saying that she took Kaycee with her since Kolbe had enough his plate to deal with. It was addressed to my mate and it was clear that he hadn't read it since it was still on the counter folded.

I could hear Kolbe's soft breathing all the way in the kitchen and rather than unnerve me, the sound kept me calm. Just knowing that he was there was keeping me sane when it felt like my sanity was slowly chipping away. 

Return to our mate.

I dropped the note in my hands, whirling around only to see that there was no one behind me. My heart thumped erratically in my chest. What the fuck is going on? Like they were being controlled by someone else my legs moved in the direction of the room Kolbe was in. I grabbed the handle of the hallway bathroom, careful not to destroy it, forcing myself inside.

I splashed my face with water before looking up. I almost had a heart attack. Coal-black eyes stared back at me inquisitively, like I was seeing my own face for the first time. Right in the middle of my mental breakdown, the voice spoke again. 

He is awake. Go to him now. Again the entity in my body took over marching us into the guest room. Kolbe was sitting up, his brown hair in disarray with the collar of my shirt hanging off one of his shoulders. The thing within me went crazy at the sight of his disheveled state. Memories that weren't mine flooded my brain until all I could see was myself pounding into Kolbe from behind, the sounds of his cries ringing in my ears. I growled as I felt my dick harden.

"Beau," Kolbe beamed, like the little ray of sunshine that he is. The entity wanted to move closer but I refused to move. I wasn't going to allow it to hurt Kolbe again. The fact that I didn't know what it was and that it could control my body-

Our body. Corrected the deep rumbling voice. At that moment I wished I had a bible and some holy water. 

"I don't want to hurt you again, baby, I can't control-" I started to reason just as the other being began clawing at my resolve again. It wanted to be near Kolbe and the only way that was going to happen was over my dead body.

"I'm not hurt! Promise!" Kolbe persisted, leaning towards me. He stopped moving at the stern look I shot him.

"You're covered in bruises," I pointed out looking at his arms and the part of his chest that was visible. His caramel skin was dotted with reddish-purple splotches. They were everywhere, it was like I had to make sure every part of him was marked. Kolbe blushed.

"Please, I want to be near you," He pleaded meekly. "You won't hurt me," Kolbe assured. I almost told him to take a better look at himself because that was clearly not the case. The thing took advantage of my momentary lapse in concentration, moving my body towards the bed. I could feel its intentions and to my surprise, they weren't malicious. Whatever it was genuinely just wanted to hold Kolbe close and never let him go. Which is exactly how I feet at the moment.

I wasn't given a choice as my body settled itself against the headboard, allowing Kolbe to climb into my lap gingerly. My arms moved to embrace him but I forced them back to my sides. I did, however, throw the cover over Kolbe's bare legs because I didn't need the temptation.

"Hello, little mate," I said, well it wasn't me who said it. My voice was deeper and rougher, animalistic. I could hardly recognize it. Kolbe blushed, smiling shyly. 

"H-Hello, Alpha," He greeted in return, lowering his gaze. I couldn't help but feel pleased with his submission. This is all so confusing. Why is there a voice in my head and why is Kolbe talking to it? What in the fuck is going on?

"Mind telling me what happened?" I asked. Kolbe looked away, shame filling his eyes as he nibbled his lip. I couldn't help but caress his side comfortingly, even though the small touch left me wanting more. Much more.

"It's all my fault," Hi cute little brow pinched as his lip began to wobble. "I-I bit you. I didn't mean to... but my wolf just wanted to mark you as ours and I couldn't help myself," Kolbe looked back up at me. "You were asleep for four days and when you woke up it wasn't you in control. It was your wolf. The Alpha in you claimed me and then you woke up," He surmised bashfully. 

"Did I hurt you, Kolbe?" I asked, slightly dreading the answer. It was a stupid question to begin with. The evidence practically covered his body. 

"No, you didn't. I'm sturdier than I look, Beau," He smiled comfortingly, twisting so he could straddle me, the cover slipped from his legs. I swallowed thickly trying to focus my gaze on just his eyes. "I'll admit you were a little rough but... I l-loved it,"

"A little? Baby, you're covered in bruises," I growled out through clenched teeth. Kolbe just giggled cutely, leaning up to kiss my jaw.  

 "You were pretty adamant about leaving your mark on me," He smiled. 

"Because you're mine," I growled, my lips forming the words all on their own as a voice that wasn't mine forced it's way up my throat. I wasn't the one who said it but that didn't make it any less true. I could feel the wolf's emotions mix in agreement with mine. We both felt the same way. Kolbe belonged to and with us. He was our perfect little mate and despite the fact that he was already covered in bruises we couldn't help the urge to add to the collection.

"Yours," Kolbe trembled against me. It felt like every part of me melted all at once as the word slipped through his pink lips. I growled again, lips curling in a possessive snarl as I buried my face in his neck right where the mark was. He trembled again much harder this time as he moaned a little. I could feel how happy and content he was. It was weird having to detangle his emotions from my own but at the same time, it was amazing to be so connected to him. 

I could smell something sweet clinging to his skin like the most alluring of perfumes. The scent was indescribably intoxicating, it had my shaft growing to full attention in no time. I pulled away from Kolbe quickly, apprehension filling my veins like ice. There was no way that Kolbe was in any shape to take me into him again. Kolbe looked at me with half-lidded sultry eyes, his cheeks red and a small pout pulling on his full lips. 

"Beau," My beautifully tempting boyfriend called pleadingly. The wolf in me responded before I could by swooping back down to forcefully connect our lips with Kolbe's in a dominating kiss. I won't lie, it felt good to claim him in this way. Filled me with a feeling of pride especially when he mewled for me. 

I took back control, it was becoming easier and less like we were two completely different entities shoved into one vessel. It was more like two thought processes influencing the decisions of the whole. As I pulled away, the heavenly aroma coming from his soft skin got stronger. All of a sudden I was stuck, there was no longer a desire to move further away from him if anything I was being called back to his body like a moth to a flame. 

"What's this smell?" I asked pressing my nose closer to his neck where the delicious scent was the strongest. "I can remember smelling it on you yesterday...it's not as strong as before..." I rambled distracted. He also shouldn't have any other scent but mine on him considering yesterday's activities as well as the fact that I'd given him a shower -with my soap- afterward. It wasn't offputting in the slightest. Would I prefer if Kolbe was covered in my scent 24/7? Yes. It may be the wolf talking but it would be a lie if I said I didn't agree wholeheartedly. However, whatever this smell was comes in at a close second. It was like an aphrodisiac, making it hard to think about anything that didn't involve me inside Kolbe. 

"It's my body releasing pheromones to let my Alpha know that I'm in heat," Kolbe explained timidly through soft pants. Eyes hooded and low, not quite meeting mine. His cheeks were flushed as the scent grew unbelievably stronger.

"I'm your Alpha," I growled possessively almost in a daze as I turned him over onto his hands and knees. The statement was redundant, but the wolf in me felt it needed to be said. Kolbe isn't an object but, fuck, if the thought that I owned him didn't send fire through my veins, pooling in my rock hard shaft.

"Yes, I'm yours." He assured, leaning his chest down against the pillows as a sign of willing submission. My mate is beautiful. The way his back arches and his thighs tremble in anticipation was enough to send me overboard. My breathing became ragged when I noticed his slick making his hole and perky ass a slippery mess. I grabbed his ass kneading it in my large palms causing Kolbe to cry out gorgeously. "P-Please," He asked sweetly, moving his legs further apart for me. His breathing had picked up and precum was dripping from his pink shaft onto the bedding.  

I growled as the wolf tried to take control and give Kolbe exactly what he was begging for and more. I pushed him back though, he had his turn, it was mine now. I felt the strange tingle in my eyes as they turned the same black I'd seen in the mirror. A sign that the Alpha wasn't fully subdued.

Releasing Kolbe, I pulled away just enough to rip my shirt that he was wearing down the middle from the back and on the sleeves so I could throw it out of the way. I rumbled lowly at the sight of Kolbe's now fully exposed body. Much better. The wolf rumbled in agreement.

Still, I paused as clarity slipped in if only for a moment.

"Kolbe, baby, are you sure you can take me again?" I asked waiting intently for his response.

"Yes... but b-be g-gentle please," My Kolbe responded with a blush as he averted his eyes.

 "Not so tough now, little wolf?" The Alpha teased goodnaturedly. Kolbe whimpered cutely before wiggling hips causing his ass to jiggle. That was all the encouragement I needed. I pushed my sweats out of the way allowing my dick to slap against my abdomen. 

Kolbe mewled as I entered him slowly apparently too slowly. My little mate pushed back onto my dick, his ass swallowing me greedily. I growled lowly. This is definitely not helping me behave. Kolbe whined cutely and I 'bout came just from the sound alone. He was squeezing me so tightly, his slick making him wet and slippery... I swallowed, taking a deep calming breath. Fuck, why does he have to be so sexy? 

"Pl-please m-move, Be-Beau- I need..." Wanting nothing more than to please my mate I immediately began stroking in and out of his tight heat. I swear it's like sex gets better every time we do it. I'm barely able to control the desire emanating from my wolf on top of my own. And he smelled so good... fuck. I thrust a little harder than intended and Kolbe cried out beautifully. With a whimper, he turned to look over his shoulder. His eyes were wet with pleasure-filled tears, pink lips glistening so deliciously it was almost too distracting to understand the words coming out of them, "Mmm... Alpha, I can't take- too much. N-Not so rough..."

I kissed away his tears, pulling his back to my chest before resting most of my weight on my heels without pulling out of him.

"I'm sorry baby," I murmured as he melted in my arms, "We can stop if you're too sore,"

"N-no, I want you, pl-please," Kolbe begged sweetly.

"Of course," I said because I'd give him anything. Staring into his bambi-brown eyes it was suddenly easier to control myself. My wants no longer mattered, all I can think about is bringing my mate so much pleasure, there'd be no doubt in his mind how I felt for him. How deeply he'd rooted himself into my heart without even trying. Lord, I love this little wolfman. 

Gripping his waist gently, I moved my hips up as his came down. We met in the middle, slowly moving against each other in the tenderest of ways. I can't take my eyes off his, it's like we're stuck just taking each other in. He's so beautiful.  My heart constricted like it was full of too much emotion. The predator in my mind couldn't even muster up the will to take control over my lapse of focus, he was too enraptured by the treasure moving so sensuously against us.

Yet temptation won out as I leaned down to capture that cute little mouth of his. Kolbe moaned into the kiss, reaching a hand up to grasp the back of my neck. Our movements became choppier and less smooth the closer we got to our finish. Kolbe was practically quivering and I couldn't help myself as I reached down between his soft thighs to give his pink cock a pull from root to tip.

"Ahh agh..aha..." He didn't pull away from our kiss as he cried out. The sound was dizzying. I stroked him a little faster, in pace with my thrusts. I could tell he was almost there, his breathing was short filled with soft moans and gasps steadily rising in crescendo. Music to my ears. All it took was a brush of my palm against his balls for him to release. And it was beautiful. Time seemed to slow down as his eyes rolled, lips parting in a silent moan, back arching as he clenched down on my dick hard. I almost came just looking at him. I thrust into him slowly, letting him ride out his high. 

When he was spent and leaning back against me like his whole body was made of goop, I started to pull out. Just watching his pleasure is enough for me. I can wait for his ass to feel better before we did anything more. Kolbe whimpered in protest through his labored breathing.

"F-Fill me please..." He breathed reconnecting our gazes as we finally broke away from our kiss. "I want... i-in me...cumm"His eyes were glazed with residual pleasure. I'm not even sure if he knew what he was saying. He can't even hold himself up, yet he still wants me to use his body to find my own release. When he saw I wasn't moving he twisted just enough to lick and mouth the mark on my neck. 

It felt like electricity was pouring through my veins, blinding me with so much pleasure my vision literally went white for a second. I groaned pulling him further into my embrace out of instinct. I released everything I had inside him causing my mate to moan appreciatively.

"T-Thank you, A-Alp- mmm" I growled, cutting him off as I pressed my mouth to his again. Goddamn, he's gonna be the death of me.

Laying down with him on my chest, I propped my head up with my arm. I rubbed his back comfortingly with my free hand. We stayed like that for a moment, both of us trying to come back from our highs. After a while, Kolbe shifted and I glanced down at him to make sure he wasn't uncomfortable. He was looking up at me with a soft smile that I couldn't help but return.

"I've missed you, Beau, so much..." He murmured.

"I'm sorry I passed out on you," I chuckled.

"Don't be. It's my fault," he frowned. "I'm just glad you don't hate me for it,"

"Kolbe, I couldn't hate you even if I wanted to," He smiled at me, leaning up to press our lips together briefly. "I don't know a damn thing about being a wolfman, but it doesn't matter because I have you. And you're all I want," Kolbe's face turned a stunning red.

"I'm yours. I always will be," He said back, earnestly. I grinned kissing his nose.

"I know, hate to say it, but I don't think you have much choice in the matter, you're definitely mine," The Alpha growled possessively. Kolbe just giggled happily. I love him. We sat lay in a content silence for a while before Kolbe broke it with an excited gasp.

"I want to meet your wolf! Can we, today?"The words rushed from his mouth in a happy tumble. I smiled because his happiness is infectious. I won't say I'm dreading turning into a giant wolf but I'm not exactly chomping at the bit to do it either. But again, I can never say no to the wonderful man in my arms.

"Yes, baby," I agreed, and his smile only grew. I moved to get up but Kolbe didn't budge. 

"N-Nap first?" he asked with a blush. I chuckled, kissing him again because he is too damn cute for his own good. I settled back down, making sure to cover him with most of the blanket because it was getting chilly now that our bodies weren't rubbing against each other.

Kolbe just snuggled impossibly closer before promptly falling asleep and I wasn't far behind. 

••••

Kolbe was practically bouncing -sort of, it wasn't hard to notice his slight limp as he moved- his way out the door. The excitement on his face was clear to see and it warmed my soul. I followed him out to the backyard, thankful that I lived in the middle of nowhere without any close neighbors. What we're about to do would surely give any sane human being a heart attack.

"Are you ready, Beau?" He asked exuberantly, dazzling me with his smile. I couldn't help but grin back at him like a lovesick puppy.

"Not really, no, " I said, but it didn't dampen Kolbe's mood one bit.

"It's gonna be awesome!" He gushed, "I'll help you!" At this moment he reminded me of an overly excited puppy. Truly heart-melting and absolutely entertaining to watch. "I'm so excited to see your wolf!"

"Where do we start?" I asked. I am quite literally new to this whole werewolf shifting thing. I have no idea how I'm supposed to magically transform into an oversized wolf like Kolbe does.

"Well, um... when I first learned to shift I was about five or six so I can't really remember how my mother taught me, " he paused to think for a moment, his forehead wrinkling unsurely as the soft evening breeze brushed through his brown hair. Damn, he's beautiful. And mine. All mine. "But it is easier than it looks, promise!" Kolbe giggled. "Um...okay! I think I got it! Just watch me okay!" He cried enthusiastically. Like I could look anywhere else as he began to strip off the little clothing he'd been wearing in the first place. I bit my lip and clenched my fist in order to keep myself rooted in place, else I'd pin him and more than likely fuck him...again.

I watched intently as his bones remolded themselves and his whole skeletal structure rearranged itself. It looked painful but also strangely beautiful. Even his wolf is gorgeous. The Alpha rumbled in agreement, his eyes roam in over the wolf in front of us almost predatorily.

Now you. Kolbe's voice reverberated in my mind, it felt strange but wonderful at the same time. I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing but here goes...

The Alpha who had been quiet up until now decided it was the perfect moment to participate. Which I'm glad he did. I needed the guidance. Since it no longer felt like we were constantly repelling each other it was easy to make the cohesive decision to shift. Just like you'd tell your finger to lift, or your hand to wave, it was effortless. I got the exact opposite sensation I had expected to feel. Instead of crippling pain, my body was filled with a rush of relief, much like the feeling you get after cracking your knuckles, or a really good stretch when you wake up after an amazing night of sleep.

I took longer than Kolbe had but I'll just blame it in the fact that I just kept growing. Literally, I towered over Kolbe and even my normal human height. After a minute or two I finally stopped expanding. All the while, Kolbe's eyes never left me.

Wow...Beau, you're... You're h-huge. He walked up to me and barely reached my chest. So small. His tail wagged excitedly as he pranced about between my forelegs. 

And you're tiny. I responded, nudging his side with my nose.  Kolbe giggled beautifully as he tottered trying to regain his footing. Once he did he darted away from me and I followed like a helpless pup, lumbering after him. My wolf was enjoying the chase and allowing Kolbe to think he actually had a hope in hell of getting away from us. We went in circles around the back yard for a while until I finally decided to catch up to him. I pushed him over and he rolled onto his back in automatic submission but that didn't stop his happy wiggles.

Kolbe showed me what I looked like from his point of view and, I honestly almost had a heart attack not gonna lie. If I was in Kolbe's position I'd be pissing myself. In my mate's mind, however, I was the most impressive thing he's ever seen.  The wolf Kolbe was showing me had fur that appeared to be black, but when the sun's light hit it looked a deep burgundy with a warm golden glow. Its eyes were pitch black no matter how the light hit them. Their lips were curled into what I assume was supposed to be a smile, but all I could focus on was the long dangerous-looking teeth.

Sensing my sudden change in attitude Kolbe stopped his adorable wiggling and leaned up to lick the side of my face.

I am you and you are me. We're one and the same. The wolf our mate showed you is us. Accept it. I shook out... my fur, slowly but surely coming to terms with my new reality. 

'Beau, are you okay?' Kolbe asked.

'I'm fine. Just a lot to take in,'I breathed, nuzzling the side of his face. 

'I'm sorry I forced this on you, Beau,' my cute little mate apologized, tucking his chin against his chest bashfully. 'I just couldn't control myself,'

'Are you saying I made you lose control, baby?' I rumbled lowly. Kolbe whined and if we were in our human forms I'm sure he'd be blushing cutely.

'Y-yes,' He was squirming again. The faint scent of his heat picked up and I damn near groaned from how amazing it smelled. In this form, the scent was ten times as potent. It made my head spin as my groin tingled to life. 

My attention was drawn away from my tantalizing little mate by the sound of approaching footsteps. Instincts that weren't my own overruled logic as I raised my head, ears pointing forward, my lips curling in agitation as the steps got closer. My mother rounded the side of the house, coming into view. To my wolf, she was a stranger and therefore not allowed anywhere near Kolbe. I growled, full-on baring my fangs at her. Angelene Carter didn't even flinch.

Kolbe let out a distressed whimper as he rolled over on to his belly. He went to stand up but my overbearing Alpha just pushed him back over. My mate yipped at me and I growled back causing him to submit. All the while my glare never left the unwelcome intruder.

Angelene raised her hands in a sign of peace.

"It's okay, Kolbe, his wolf is just a little territorial right now," She assured with a calm smile that quickly turned to a soft glower as her hands went to her hips and her gaze turned to me. "However, growl at me again, Beau Bryant Carter, and see what happens to you." The 5'4 woman didn't even reach my shoulder yet she still stared straight into my coal-black eyes. Instead of feeling challenged my wolf immediately felt reprimanded. My ears swiveled back as I covered teeth and tucked my tail. With my head ducked I walked over to my Mama, whining apologetically. Her steely expression didn't crack until I nudged her cheek with my nose and she burst into a fit of giggles, showing her dimples. I couldn't help placing a wolfy kiss on the side of her face as my tail began to wag. "Boy, if you don't stop!" She laughed pushing my giant head away. 

Rolling onto my back I showed her my belly and Kolbe took the opportunity to bounce over before pouncing on me. He nipped at my neck while growling playfully.

'This is what you get for growling at my Mama!' He laughed. I rolled over, smooshing him between me and the ground. 

'I'm sorry for growling at you baby.' I apologized. That was completely uncalled for. No one should ever even raise their voice at Kolbe, let alone growl at him.

'It's okay, Beau, I understand.' He assured me, licking my face affectionately.

"I'm glad that both of you are better. Now, please come inside so I can see my boys," Angelene cooed as she bent down to run her hand through Kolbe's fur and then my own. Wiggling out from under me, Kolbe pranced around my mother happily, following her to the back door. I followed them until my mother stopped, allowing Kolbe to go inside ahead of her. She turned to me and circled her arms around my neck the best she could. I leaned down trying to make it easier. "I am so glad that you're okay. Ugh, my baby boy..." She squeezed for a moment before letting go completely. "Alright, now get inside, I brought some po'boys for lunch."

Just as she walked in the house Kolbe was there with a shirt and some sweats for me to put on. He was smiling happily, his body still vibrating with excitement.

"You really are handsome, Alpha," My Kolbe complimented with a delightful blush staining his cheeks.  I nudged his face with my nose and he giggled cutely. God, I love him. Shifting back was surprisingly easy. It didn't feel as nice as turning into a wolf but it doesn't hurt.

I took the clothes in Kolbe's hands and put them on. It was just a pair of sweats and a t-shirt. When I was done, I walked into the house, pulling Kolbe close to me before kissing his cute little mouth quickly. As we parted, Kaycee came bounding over excitedly. She had grown a bit in the time she had been away. Kolbe immediately left me to go scoop her in his arms. He looked over his shoulder at me with a huge smile and I swear my heart felt like it tripled in size.

I really love this little wolfman.
