The flame from the fire shudders as I lay on the bed, the room is dark apart from the lite fire, as I wake, I feel uneasy, as though something is missing, being in an unfamiliar place doesn't make me feel any safer. I pull the blanket off me and climb out of the bed, my legs shaking as I stand, I regain my strength and balance and walk to the door, as I open the door the light from the hallway shines onto my legs, its then that I realize that I am in a long shirt and only a shirt. I grab the blanket from the bed wrapping it around my body, walking from the bedroom I hear chattering in the distance, the house is large, I walk past door after door not knowing what lies behind each, the walls are a pearly white, with marble floors and pillars, paintings and photos hang along the walls. I walk in the direction of the chattering, confused about where I am, as I near closer the voices become louder, clearer but still unrecognisable. I walk to the end of the hallway, a large staircase heading down rests to the left of me, a loungeroom like area rests to the right, a black leather couch in the middle of the room with black leather chairs placed around the room, a 70-inch tv hangs on the wall, glass coffee table and a matching tv cabinet are perfectly placed in the room. The room filled with people spread out around it, Damien stands in the far corner staring out the large glass doors, as I stand in the room all eyes fall on me, some with the mouths gaped in surprise others in admiration. Damien walks over to me, their eyes following as he walks,
"Hey, how are you feeling? you've been asleep for a couple hours,"
"Where are my clothes?" I whisper,
"They were wet, I washed them, they are in the dryer," he responds, I feel confused and violated, the expression must've showed across my face, "Rose changed you, she has left some clothes out for you and a towel, you can take a shower, a bath and change if you'd like,"
"Hmm ok, where can I find the bathroom and the clothes?"
"There is an ensuite in the room you were in, the clothes should be in the dresser, the towels are in the bathroom, there should also be shampoo and body wash in there as well," he states
As I stand in the shower, water streaming down my body, my mind wonders back to the pure white-haired figure in the water, who is it? The hair wrapping around its body as they playfully swim in the water, the water where I almost drowned, the water that pushed me further and further from the surface, I feel my heart beat begin to rise, my breathing begins to fasten, I drop into a crouching position as the memory starts to feel real, tears fill my eyes, I rock back and forth crying, I don't realise when someone runs into the bathroom, I feel arms grab me pulling me in close, the comfort of the arms begin to calm me down, my breathing slows, I hear a voice whispering to me,
"Calm down Amaris, it's not real,"
I must have been screaming or something for him to rush in hear to help me, he turns the water off, grabbing the towel he wraps it around me and picks me up from the floor, I hold onto him wrapping my arms around his neck, Damien places me softly onto the bed,
"Are you ok? What happened?" he asks in a soft concerned, calming voice,
"I was back in the ocean, water was filling my lungs, it felt so real,"
"You're ok now, you're on solid ground, you're not drowning," his voice is husky and calming at the same time,
I curl up in his arms, as I calm down, I remember all the people out in the loungeroom like area,
"Who were all the people in the other room? Where the hell am I?", I question,
"Those people they are pack members, this house… this house actually belongs to you,"
"What? How does this house belong to me?"
"It's belonged to your family for generations, it did belong to your dad, but before he left, he put it in your name, you've owned this place since you were a baby," he comments, "I'm going to leave you to get dressed, I'll be waiting in the hallway for you,"
He leaves my room, leaving me alone again, the moon shines through the window, I walk over to the dresser opening the drawer, I pull out the clothes Rose left for me, black mini shorts, a pink tank top and a jumper, not exactly my style, I pull the clothes on, the tank top hugs my breast nicely, you can see my nipple through the shirt as I wasn't given a bra. I walk out into the, Damien stands outside, leaning against the wall, he smirks as I walk out the door, he grabs my hand and pull me into a hug,
"We are going to have a party, you in?"
"Yes definitely, I wish I was able to wear my own clothes though,"
"Don't worry about it, you look great,"
We walk down the hallway, the loungeroom like area is empty, we begin to walk down the stairs together hand-in-hand, I notice the music being played as we walk down the stairs, it gets louder as we get closer to the bottom of the stairs. Once we get to the bottom of the staircase, everyone turns to look at us, they begin cheering, people walk up to us grabbing my hand introducing themselves, a pure white-haired woman walks up to me, hands me a cup,
"Rum and coke, I thought you would like it, I'm Amelia", a voice as soft and smooth as they get leaves her mouth, "this handsome devil with me is Dimitri", she points to guy next to her, he towers over her, she must be 5.4" while he looks to be around 6.2", he has jet black hair, bright green piercing eyes,
"Amelia, right? I've seen you before, in the water earlier?"
"Yes, I was in the ocean earlier tonight, I didn't see you there," she replies
"Amelia she was the one drowning, the one I came to pick up while picking you up, she's our Alpha," Dimitri states,
"Oh, that's right, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you,"
"Oh, no, please don't apologize, you didn't do nothing wrong,"
I choke down the rum and coke Amelia handed me,
"So, everyone here are werewolves?" I question
"Yes, that is right, you will meet them all over time, tonight we have fun, tomorrow we train," Damien grabs me, pulling me in for a kiss in front of everyone,
Some cheer, some growl, others keep on partying, the night grows long, the party keeps going, one after one people leave over a few hours, people leave due to needed to go to work, or school, of they just have plans, but every time someone leaves, they shake my hand and say their goodbyes. It's about three in the morning once everybody's left, Damien picks me up taking me over to the couch, he sits down on the couch placing me on his lap, he lays down, I lay down on top of him, his arm wraps around my body as we lay together cuddling, it's not long before we fall asleep.
Rolling off Damien, I land on the ground, a loud THUMP as I hit the ground wakes Damien up,
"Ouch, that hurt",
Damien jumps up in a sitting position, placing his hand onto my arm,
"Are you ok?"
"I'm ok, definitely a rude way to wake up though, sorry for waking you up,"
"It's ok don't apologize,"
He looks at his watch a sad expression crosses his face,
"It's only five in the morning, we should go back to sleep,"
"No, I am definitely not going back to sleep on the couch, I don't want to wake up from falling off of you again,"
"Ok, we will go to your room?" he questions,
As I go to answer him, he wraps his arms around my upper thighs hoisting me over his shoulder,
"Hey, put me down, I didn't even answer,"
"Nope, I'm not doing that, you did answer with the little smile that crossed your face when I asked," he says mischievously,
He walks up the stairs, me hanging over his shoulder, one by one the stairs go by, we reach the top, he still doesn't place me down, it's not long before we are at the door to my bedroom, so I thought, he opens a door, the room his dark, he turns the light on dimming it down. He places me on the bed, silk sits beneath me, I look around the room, its décor is black and red,
"This isn't my room?"
"No, it's my room," he says from the bathroom, his door hangs open slightly,
I jump up from his bed, his room filled with expensive looking furniture, four-poster super king-sized bed, luxurious red silk duvet, a small black leather couch facing a hung tv. I snoop around, looking through his draws, in his cupboards, as I look in his cupboard, I see things hanging on the wall in the back, I mov his clothes, finding whips, handcuffs, whips, swings, all types of sex equipment. I hear the water in the bathroom stop running, I close the cupboard, running to the bed, I jump on, pulling my shirt off, I slide under the blanket, pretending to have fallen asleep. Climbing into bed, he puts his arm around me, pulls me in close, I feel his bare skin up against my back, I push my butt up against him, he kisses me on the neck,
"Sleep tight my lovely."
I feel around my bed trying to find Damien, I begin to open my eyes, looking around the room I see that he is no where to be found, I lay back down on my back, looking up at the ceiling I wonder where he has gone, my stomach begins to growl, I jump up from the bed and pull my shirt over my head. I open the door, running into Damien, I knock food and drinks all over him, a laugh escapes me mouth, as he looks at me humiliated,
"I guess I'm going to have shower," he suggests, "You could join me?"
"I would but I'm starving, I'm going to head downstairs to make food, there will be some waiting for you once you've showered, I'm really sorry,"
He places the tray on a little table in the hallway and proceeds to clean up the mess, I sit waiting on the bed until he has finished, as he walks past me towards the shower, he pulls his shirt off over his head, his abs showing as he begins to unbutton his shorts, as he reaches the bathroom door his pants fall below his ankles. The door creaks as it opens, the light in the bathroom shines through the small crack in the door, his reflection in the mirror stares at me, I hear the shower turn on, his reflection returns to the mirror as I see him pulling off his underwear, as I wait for him to stand up straight the mirror begins to fog. As he steps under the water it quietens, I can feel the warmth between my legs, I go into his closet, finding a small chest of drawers hidden behind his clothes, I open the draws to find unopened toys, I pull one of them out of the draw and head towards his bed. I open the toy, throwing the packaging to the floor, I find batteries in his bedside table placing them into the toy. Placing the vibrating toy against my clit, I imagine being in the shower with him, the warmth grow as I decide to move the toy, I push it inside my wet pussy as it closes in around the toy, the little bunny ears vibrate against my clit, the sensation forces a moan out of my mouth. Out of the corner of my eye, I see him standing against the door, his hand around his dick, rubbing back and forth as he watches me, please myself, we watch each other, I don't think he notices me watching him though, he stays pleasing ourselves until we both climax, my wetness seeps into the duvets as I climax, a loud moan escapes my mouth as I grip onto the duvet.
I see him walk away from the door, I assume to hop into the shower, I stand up from the bed, placing the toy onto the bedside table, I think about going to the kitchen. Turning around I remove my shirt, walking into the bathroom, I stand in the bathroom completely naked, Damien facing out the window, the bathroom door left wide open, I hop into the shower, my breast lay against his back, wrapping my arms around his naked chest, as he turns around,
"Do you have any idea how hot it was finding you fucking yourself on my bed?" he says seductively",
He plants a kiss onto my lips, the water runs over both our bodies, our hands run over each other's bodies, he grabs the body wash from the shelf and squirting it onto my body, we rub the soap into each other's bodies, the bubbles rinsing off from the water.
I wrap a towel around my body, walk into his bedroom where he stands naked in front of his closest, he grabs a pair of jeans and a singlet, pulling them on he walks out into the laundry, later returning with my clothes he washed for me the night before.
"I will be in the kitchen making us some food, come down when you are dressed," he kisses me on the forehead and leaves the room.
I make my way downstairs, the smell of food being cooked forces my stomach to growl, as I walk into the kitchen, I find my way to a stool at the bench, I sit and watch him cook, a smile across my face as I watch an amazing man look after me,
"We have to do some training today, do you have any type of work out clothes?", he asks,
"I do but they are at home," I respond
"This is your home now, all your stuff has been moved here, I just haven't unpacked anything, it's all in the master bedroom, I will show you once we have eaten,"
A few minutes later he is placing scrambled eggs and bacon on toast in front of me, he grabs cups from the cupboard, as he opens the cupboard,
"Orange and mango, apple or orange?"
"Orange and mango please,"
He pours a cup of orange and mango juice and a cup of apple, he places the orange and mango in front of me, grabs a plate of scrambled eggs and his cup of juice, sitting next to me, we eat our food in silence. As we finish, he sparks up a conversation,
"Have you ever down any self-defence classes before?" he asks,
"I've down a few classes of different techniques, a couple classes of Ju jitsu, a couple of boxing classes, but I never really got into them,"
"You'll be learning quite a few different techniques, mostly boxing and kick-boxing though," he replies, "we will wait for an hour, wouldn't want you throwing up your food,"
As the hour passes, we spend it watching tv and talking to each other, it felt as though it was only a couple of minutes, but it was an hour and a half, I follow him down the hallway, down a flight of stairs into a basement. As the door opens, I look around,
"This looks just like the basement in Roses house?" I question,
"Yes, every member of the pack has a basement similar, we train a lot, we would have way too much anger and energy built up if we didn't," he responds, "today I am going to teach you the basics, punching, kicking, but we will mostly work on your strength and agility,"
He shows me how to punch properly, when to kick somewhere and where to kick someone, I spend an hour on the treadmill, thirty minutes on weights, we stop working out after I finish doing the last rep of weights Damien told me to do,
"You want to go for a swim?" he asks, "we all done, Rose wants to come over with Amelia and Dimitri?"
"Yeah sure, I guess I need to unpack sometime today, how come you live here, you said it belongs to me, yet you have a room here?"
"When your dad left, he let my parents live here, wanted them to look after the place for when you came back,"
"Where are your parents?"
"Uh they moved, left me here, your aunt let me stay here and came into check on my at least once a week,"
"How long ago did they leave?"
"Uh, I would've been about 12 I think when they left",
"You've been living on your own since you were 12",
"Oh, no, your aunt had two of the older pack members live here with me, the young couple moved out after I turned eighteen, she was pregnant and I am old enough to look after myself,"
As we walk up the basement stairs, the doorbell rings,
"Amaris, Damien, its us Rose, Amelia and Dimitri," the voice echoes though the large rooms.
I open the front door, Rose, Amelia, and Dimitri stand in front of me, the girls wearing bikinis and Dimitri wearing swimming trunks, bags hanging off their shoulders, a pack of 30 of Jim beams in Dimitri's hand. I move to the side allowing them to walk in, they walk straight to the bar in the back yard placing the cans in the fridge, bottles on the bar and mixes into the fridge. I race up to Damien's room to find him changing, staring at his chiselled back,
"Hey, can you show me where all my stuff is?"
"No, not now I have a bikini for you," he replies,
He opens a draw, pulling out a brand-new bikini, he pulls me inside shutting the door behind me,
"Try it on," he suggests,
I pull on the black bikini, rhinestones fall hugging my stomach in a v shape from top to bottoms, Damien turns around to see the bikini placed perfectly on my body, he walks up to me plants a kiss on my forehead,
"You look amazing, come on let's go downstairs and have some fun,"
He interlocks his fingers with mine, we walk to the backyard, finding Rose, Amelia and Dimitri in the pool, drinks in hand, music playing,
"Hey, come on hurry up, pour a drink and get in," Amelia shouts,
Damien picks me up over his shoulders, grabs two cans from the fridge and jumps into the pool, I scream as he jumps into the pool with me over his shoulder, the water smashes me in the face, water racing up my nose, I push of Damien rushing to the waters surface. Damien swims up next to me laughing,
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that,"
I splash water into his face, a laugh escaping my mouth, he passes me a can I open it and choke it down, I feel so different, I live in a mansion that belongs to me, I have friends that expect me to be their leader, a life that is completely different, because now I'm not some famous race car drivers daughter, I'm a werewolf, a pack leader, a Royal Alpha.
As the afternoon goes on Dimitri suggests having a barbeque for dinner, the guys get out of the pool, race inside and grab steaks, sausages, burger patties, all sorts of meats from the freezer and shove them into the microwave to defrost them, as the meats defrost, they bring onions, burger rolls, bread, sauces, cooking utensils outside to the barbeque. The girls and I sit in the spa watching the guys run around like crazy people,
"Why are they defrosting so much meat?" I ask,
"As werewolves, our bodies digest food quicker, so we eat a lot, especially when we are just around each other," Amelia answers,
"Surprisingly, that makes sense, how come I don't eat much?"
"You will once you've turned, you have werewolf blood passing through your veins, but because you were spelled as a child you werewolf side is dormant, once you've turned your werewolf side will have awoken," Rose explains,
The aroma of cooking meat fills the air, the guy's dance around singing as they cook the food for us all, once the food is finished, they call for us, steaks, sausages, salads and more are all generously placed over the outdoor table, plates, glasses and utensils line the outer side of the table, as we come out the spa the guys hand us towels, we sit down at the table and drinks are poured into our glasses, Damien walks over to me picks me up from the chair sitting down placing me onto his lap, we sit quietly for a while as we grab our food, sipping on our drinks,
"Have you claimed her yet?" Dimitri asks,
"No, I haven't claimed her yet, she isn't mine to claim, she gets the choose to claim who she wants," Damien shrieks, "she is the Royal Alpha, her choice, her decision, no one else's,"
"Oh, I know, I was just asking,"
"Wait! What is claiming?" I question,
"Claiming is sort of like a marriage, except instead of a ceremony, it is generally done during sex, the partners bite each other on the neck until we bleed, so our venom gets into each other's blood stream, the only other difference to marriage is that it is literally binding, you mate for life, until death," Damien explains
"Oh, wow that's quite intense,"
"Honestly, it doesn't happen quite as much as it used to, I think the wolves got sick of dying if they stepped out on the partner, or punished if they no longer wanted to be in the relationship, so we do mostly just get married these days, only the extreme wolves claim each other," Dimitri enlightens,
"I think it's different with Alphas and their mates though," Rose comments, "Alphas need to find their right partner, the strongest partner, so when they claim someone, but later find a stronger mate they can break the bond, they need to be able to find strong mates to produce strong leaders,"
"Unfortunately, Amaris as you are an alpha you do need to claim someone, it's the only way the two bloodlines completely combine," Amelia mentions,
The night goes on, the conversation continues, we pour drink after drink, sitting around watching the night sky.
"We should go for a run," Amelia suggests
"A run would be nice," Rose confirms,
The three wolves stand up stripping their clothes, the light of the moon shimmering on their naked bodies, as they begin to turn steam rolls over their bodies, their skin begins to peel as their wolf fur breaks through their skin, Amelia's wolf form is as white as they come, Rose is grey, black and Dimitri is a light brown, they howl to the moon and take off running down the backyard to the forest behind the house, Damien turns to me, nestling into the nape of my neck,
"I can't wait to see your wolf form, it's probably going to be raven black like your hair," he suggests,
"Not long now, a few days and ill be turning into a wolf, is it scary?" I ask,
"The first couple of times can be painful, only if you fight the transformation, the first time though you will be locked up, you can't control yourself on your first transformation, the wolf inside you takes over completely," he explains,
We stay sitting in the chair cuddled up with each other, talking for hours, waiting for the three of them to return. As the night goes on, we fall asleep in each other's arms, the chilled air brushes against our bodies, howls echoes amongst the wind
