I entered the pub, ready to finally have a drink. It had been a long fucking week and I couldn't wait to relax a bit with the guys and a cold pint in hand.

"Rafe, mate, over here!" I heard Aiden say as I spotted him and the rest of the guys at a table in the corner closest to the darts boards. I am not even sure why I looked around for them, as that table was our usual hanging spot whenever we had time to go out.

Being in charge of the pack's warrior and shadowing my father as the future Alpha of the pack barely left me any free time, although I had to be honest that I didn't really care. I was a warrior, first and foremost, so I dedicated my life to training, preparing, and fighting. Everything else was just an add-on to my daily life. I only truly felt myself out on the battlefield where no one cared about your name, your status or your position- it was kill or be killed, irrelevant to who you were.

The only other time I could afford to feel like that since my mother's death had been my time with Aiden and the boys. Sure, Aiden was a dragon and normally we would never have accepted him amongst our ranks, but Aiden was not just any dragon. Aside from being the Fire Dragons Clan Beta, he was first my best friend and closest confidant and would remain so until we no longer walked on Earth.

"Where is my pint and whose arse am I kicking at darts this time?" The boys all laughed, even though I was actually quite serious. It wasn't too long before one of the guys went to grab another round of beers, including my first pint of the evening.

"Damn it, Rafe, all the girls here are eye fucking you again.. come on, man, give a chance to the rest of us!" Tom, one of the Windcrest top warriors and my most trusted men, said.

I turned in the direction that he was looking in and I saw three she-wolves from my pack lustfully staring at me as if I was their snack. One had great boobs, the other a killer arse and the third one had lips that were created for wrapping themselves around a cock. Sure I could fuck them together or separately. I was a wolf and sex was a basic, undeniable need for all wolf shifters. We were impulsive, possessive, dominant and rough, and that was easily reflected in how we fucked. Screwing all these she-wolves that were throwing themselves at me was purely about fulfilling my needs. They thought they made themselves sexy and appealing by being submissive and bending backwards for me, but they just didn't know how wrong they were. Hell yeah, I wanted to dominate, but there was nothing enjoyable about it if there was no fire, no challenge in the woman that you were with. And yet, none of them would ever dare stand up to me because they were too scared that I wouldn't fuck them and they could screw their chances of becoming the future Luna.

The extent that they would often go to was shocking- as if they had no self-respect, they were simply ready to do whatever they had to in order to secure their position, to secure me and my cock. And there was nothing less attractive than a woman with no self-respect. If they did not show that they were worth it, how did they expect me to respect them?

So yeah, I was a prick and often messed with them, leaving them high and dry. Occasionally, I would give in to my primal instincts and allow some of them to ride my dick. People saw me as the playboy son of the Alpha, but I was no womaniser, far from that.

Being a warrior next to my brothers in arms and protecting my pack was my priority. I made my mind up the night I lost my mother to the magic people that abducted us when I was a teenager. I would never forget the torturous time spent in that mansion down in the south. The screams of shifters being tortured. The screams of my own mother, as they took away her wolf. It was only thanks to the pity of one of the human guards that I was able to escape. But I couldn't find it in my heart to thank him- he should have saved my mother, the Luna of the pack, instead of the teenage boy.

After I made it out of the mansion, I ran for days before I found my way back, my heart breaking with every step that I took further away from my mother. The closer I got home, the higher the walls around my heart were getting. I decided that I was not going to shed a tear or grief about what happened. No, I was just going to throw myself into being the best damn warrior the pack had ever seen and to make sure that no pack members ever lost a mother, a mate, a sister, or a friend.

At 30 years old, I had more than accomplished that. My skills were certainly better fitted for the battlefield than the countless meetings that I had to attend as future Alpha and representative of the pack. The only thing that made them bearable most of the time was that Aiden and I often had to attend the same meetings, which is how I avoided death by boredom every time.

I looked back at the boys and I thought about how I just wanted to enjoy a night with the guys. The last days had been pretty tiring as we had been on the hunt of the people responsible for my sister getting injured. Luckily, someone from the Blackwood pack had found her and had brought her back to safety, but I couldn't help but feel on the edge until we caught those bastards. Natalia was just an innocent teenager who would never hurt a fly. She reminded me so much of mother with her kindness and sincerity, which often were used against her by people. I was extremely protective of her and so was Aiden — between the two of us; we made sure that no guy would prey on her like all the women tried to do with me just because my last name was Macalister. I was a cocky bastard who knew how to handle them, but Nat was a pure soul that could only get hurt. I prayed to the Goddess that she would only ever give her a mate that was equally innocent and hopefully rather clueless about matters related to sex.

"They are all yours, Tom," I answered to my warrior, both my wolf and I not being keen on screwing anyone tonight.

"Whatever, mate- we all know that they will march over here demanding your attention. At least put a good word in for me." Tom patted me on the shoulder as if he was trying to win me over. Sadly, he was right though- I could foresee how this was going to play out nearly down to the last detail. These she-wolves were getting so predictable.

"Yeah, yeah. Of course, mate. Aiden, fancy a game of darts?" I looked over to my best friend, who was nursing his pint.

"Sorry, Rafe. I am taking Rebecca out for dinner and then we will go back to my place."

Aiden and I were so alike at times, and yet complete opposites on most days. He was more the long-term fucks kind of man- not because he was not interested in finding a woman but mainly because there were no female dragon-shifters around, so he knew he was not going to find a mate anytime soon, if ever. But he was a man with needs, nonetheless- it was just that he liked to keep his women highly satisfied, not just in bed but with the whole charm and foreplay as well. He was a damn fine Beta and he would have made a formidable Alpha if he stopped giving women so much of his time and attention, and took over from that prick Cyrus instead.

"Fuck, man, you really play the long game when it comes to fucking. Stop doing that — you make the rest of us look bad!" Tom exclaimed, impressed and horrified by Aiden's statement at the same time.

"I've got to say that Tom is kind of right, fire boy- you are blowing off time with your best friend to woo a chick that we all know is going to fuck you, anyway. And if you keep going like that, she will think that she is your girlfriend." I had to warn him again about the dangers of what he was doing.

"Don't worry, Rafe. You know I always make it clear that our arrangements are limited and they are not a relationship. I simply want to make sure that I satisfy my women in all ways." He smirked at me.

Before I could reply though, I saw with the periphery of my eyes the three she-wolves make their way to me.

"Hi, Alpha!" The redhead spoke and batted her eyelids at me before she placed one hand on my leg, sliding it up towards my crotch as she leaned forward. "You seem tense. Want me to relieve the tension for you?" Her hand glided further up as she bit her lower lip. "You know I would do anything for the Alpha."

"The Alpha is my father, Claudia. Surely you are bright enough to know that." I took a sip of my pint, as I was really not in a mood for this.

"Of course. But you will always be my preferred Alpha. And you will be a great Alpha one day. I can only do my best to serve you, however you may wish."

Oh fuck it, I was going to play a little. "Is that so? What do you propose, then?" My eyes flashed with a challenge.

She leaned in and whispered in my ear. "Fuck me, please, Alpha. Let me help you unwind."

My cock twitched a little at the idea, but I had other plans. I grabbed her hips and pulled her into my lap so that I could whisper in her ear as well. "This is what you are doing to do, Claudia. You are going to go over to that booth there, you will take off your panties from underneath your skirt before you spread your legs wide, and you'll finger yourself until I come over. You are not allowed to come, however- not until I say so."

Her eyes widened as she was clearly hoping for something with a lot more privacy. "But Rafe... everyone will be able to smell me in here!"

"Isn't that what you wanted, Claudia? For the whole world to know how wet I make you? For my cock to bury itself inside you as you scream my name for everyone to hear?" She was embarrassed at the idea of doing something so public, but her need to reach her goal of riding my dick was much greater. So much so that she was getting turned on by what I was telling her.

"Yes, Alpha." She said and walked over to the booth, doing exactly what I had told her.

I turned back to the guys who were either busy trying to get the attention of the other girls or were grinning at me. "Fellas, I am about to call it a night then. Aiden, pass by my place this week- I have some ideas how to make my father's stupid birthday parade more fun for us. I'll even break out your favourite whiskey for your visit." Yeah, I knew his weak spots, at least as far as alcohol was concerned.

The guys waved me goodbye, and I made my way to Claudia, who was starting to pant while she was pushing two fingers in and out of her pussy. I scooted over next to her and took her fingers out as she was starting to move faster, clearly working on the buildup of her orgasm.

"Nah ah, ah. I told you not to come until I told you to, but I see that you were about to get yourself punished." She whimpered as I slipped my hand between her legs and ran over the tip of my index finger over her protruding clit.

"More." She moaned when I circled it with two fingers.

Without a warning, I plunged them both into her already wet pussy and started finger fucking her. Her hips were bucking with anticipation and excitement.

I moved closer to her face and ran my tongue over her earlobe, causing her to tilt her head sideways in order to expose her neck to me. I traced it with the tip of my tongue until I reached her marking spot, which I nibbled on slightly.

"Ohhhhhhh, fuck. Yes, Alpha. Don't stop!" She was chasing her release, but her words were equally about what my fingers were doing to her and me being so close to her marking spot. "Please, Alpha, mark me- make me your Luna."

Same story every time.

She was on the verge of her release, and that was when I stopped. I pulled my fingers out and sucked them clean while she looked at me, shocked and puzzled. I could see that she was desperate to have her climax, rubbing her thighs together to get there in the absence of my fingers.

"Rafe, baby, don't be like this. Let's finish here and then we can go back to my place." She said, her voice barely masking her desperation. "Please, Rafe." She begged, but I was unmoved by her pleas.

When she finally realised that I was not going to budge, she pushed her fingers in between her legs and finished herself off then and there, breathing heavily after she came.

I smirked and stood up. "My Luna would know better than to act like this. Good night, Claudia." I walked away, leaving her speechless.
