| KALEB

I feel as though I blinked and it was over before it had even started. Darren had shifted into his wolf, unleashing all of his authority. Letting out a fierce growl, I could almost hear him ordering Josh to stand down. Josh stopped mid-stride only a few feet away from Zev who'd taken a defensive stance in front of me. In an attempt to help Darren regain control over the situation, I shakily stood despite everything in me screaming to submit. His shoulder was well above my head so I ended up leaning heavily on his side as I made my way to his face that was still contorted in a fearsome snarl. His tail flicked in agitation and I could feel how bunched his muscles were under my fingers, ready to strike.

Zev, I called through our link. I got no reply as he was still staring intently at Josh who was doing the same. Please, don't hurt him, it's not worth it, please, Zev.

Zev growled ferociously in response. My wolf whimpered as another wave of intoxicating dominance rolled off Zev causing my knees to shake.

"Zev, please..." Zev's ear swiveled and I felt some of his domineering aura retract just a bit. Slowly he laid down so that his head was just above my shoulder. I immediately fell against him, burying my face in his large furry neck. He was still tense and ready to strike, I knew that wouldn't change until Josh was gone or dead. Josh had moved behind his alpha who had shifted yet again. I peeked at Darren and was met with what looked like exasperated resignation.

"Kaleb, this isn't a request, you have to come back." Zev released an angry growl.

"Zev will have to come with me," I said quickly, trying to appease my disgruntled mate. Darren nodded stiffly.

"As long as he agrees to control himself." Zev released another agitated rumble.

"He agrees." I murmured even though Zev said no such thing.

Darren laughed half-heartedly. "I honestly didn't think it would be this difficult returning one stray omega." I smiled weakly. Josh huffed in the background causing Darren to finally lose some of his cool.

"Speaking of control," he looked over his shoulder, directing a death glare at his beta to be. "Return to the packed house now. That is an order." He commanded leaving absolutely no room for argument. Josh growled but backed away nonetheless. He aimed an intense glare at Zev before turning and eventually fading into the night. Darren sighed. "I have to apologize, I don't know what's gotten into him," his eyebrows pinched. I felt Zev huff, as he finally relaxed a little.

"I see that you are more than safe here," he glanced at Zev's impressive form," Otherwise I would've had to drag you back tonight. As I said earlier, there have been rogue sightings so stay alert. Come in the morning, the pack will be expecting you by then." I nodded. "Oh and Kaleb," Darren said over his shoulder as he walked away "Congratulations on finding your mate, my mother will be happy."

I blushed almost wanting to die at the thought of all the cooing and coddling I'd receive from the Luna and other pack females upon returning to the pack, especially with my mate. Darren openly laughed at my discomfort.

"Don't worry," he smirked good-naturedly "I'm sure it'll be much worse than you think it will." with that he shifted, quickly running off into the dark forest.

I leaned away from Zev so he could stand and shift. My eyes unashamedly perused his naked body causing my own to tingle in response.

"Zev?" I called softly.

"I will go with you to your pack." he said lowly "and then I am taking you away, do you understand puppy?"

I gulped. "Where?"

"To our own little territory, and there my little Kaleb, I will fulfill my promise to you. I meant what I said earlier, I intend to claim you completely."

I swallowed thickly staring at the tense muscles in his back. His hands were clenched at his sides, you could see his claws digging into the skin of his palm. I frowned and made my way toward him. Wrapping my arms around his waist I placed my cheek on his back. I could practically feel the anger simmering in him right now.

"Z-Zev, I-" I began unsure of exactly what it was that I wanted to say. "Am I the reason that you are angry? I seem to be upsetting everyone lately..." Zev turned and I loosened my grip. The hard look in his eyes told me he was not pleased with what I'd said.

"I don't think I could be anything but pleased with you. However, I will not stand for you looking down on yourself. You are worth more than you think. To me, you are more valuable than anything in this world. You are the other half of my soul. My mate. My everything." Zev gripped my chin forcing our gaze to remain connected "The only reason that pup is still alive, is you. I almost regret you stopping me."

"It would have caused more problems than necessary," I said softly. "I don't like the thought of you standing against my pack or vice versa. The possibility of you getting hurt in any way makes me anxious, at the same time I know how powerful and capable you are and it makes me worry for my pack. They are my family." Zev gently rubbed my bottom lip with the pad of his thumb affectionately.

" Alright, puppy, I promise to behave. But believe me when I say, If a single hair on your adorable head gets out of place or if at all, even slightly, I feel you are in danger, I'll kill them all."

His grip on my chin tightened a fraction. "I believe you," I said "but there is still a possibility that I may be punished. I did defy a direct order from my alpha."

Zev chuckled darkly using his free hand to roughly grab my ass cheek slamming our bodies together. I whimpered as a blush lit my cheeks.

"The only one who gets to punish you is me," he smirked proudly. "Who do you belong to?"

There was only one answer, and it filled me with so much warmth it was ridiculous. I know something else he could fill us with...it will probably feel just as good, or better. I completely ignored my wolf's perverted thoughts and answered Zev wholeheartedly.

"You," I whispered happily "I am yours," Zev growled deeply.

"Damn right." he swooped down and claimed my lips with his. He wasn't as gentle as the hand that held my ass gave a tight squeeze to the soft flesh and he hungrily devoured my mouth. I tried to keep up with his plundering tongue, to no avail. He seemed to take sadistic pleasure in my frustrated whimpers and needy moans, I was clearly losing this delicious tongue battle, so I gave in. I simply let him take me. Take what was his.

His hand drifted from my chin, down my throat to settle at the base of the slender column. His grip was firm but didn't restrict my airways. I whimpered again but his ravaging mouth simply swallowed the needy sound. Oh, what this man does to me. My hands were curled submissively against his chest, the only thing between us besides my very soiled shirt.

"I love how little you are, puppy," he growled, using the one hand on my ass to pick me up so I could wrap my legs around his waist. We broke apart for air but he didn't let me get far, as he sucked my lip between his teeth and bit down softly.

I love how big you are, you make me feel safe.

The hand around my throat was moved to my unoccupied ass cheek. Our hard shafts were sandwiched in between us and I couldn't help but wiggle a little. Zev growled releasing my lip.

"Easy, I'm not in the most control right now little one and my tiger wants nothing more than to fuck your tight little hole." My panting hitched and I couldn't help but moan.

"O-oh Zev!" I wanted nothing more than for him to fill me up with his cock and pound into me relentlessly. I made it apparent by twisting my hips, moaning at the friction.

"Please," I begged needily.

"I know, but not yet. You'll need to be able to walk tomorrow, yes?"

"Yes Zev" I moaned still unable to control my swirling hips. Zev released some of his commanding aurae once again. My head fell to the side instantly exposing my vulnerable neck. Zev groaned staring at his mark appreciatively.

"Good boy, Kaleb," came the rumbling voice of Zev's tiger. His was deeper and had more of a growl to it. The sound alone caused the hair to stand up on my arms in excitement. I felt my eyes tingle as my wolf gained some control, but not completely, allowing both of us to experience the moment together.

"Hmm," he sighed burying his face in my neck. "You are making it extremely hard for me to not ravage you right now." I mewled as his hands pushed my hips up and down causing our shafts to rub together deliciously.

"Please, Zev, may I cum?"

"Already?"

"Yes!" I gasped "Pleasssse!"

"Only good puppies get to cum," he paused leaving me in suspense but then proceeded to hold my body weight with one hand. "But since you asked nicely..." he placed his now free hand in front of my face and I didn't even have to be told what to do. Without a second thought, I lathered his hand with my tongue getting it has wet as possible. Zev was more than pleased, he even chuffed at me gently.

Wanting to make him even happier, I slipped his pointer finger into my mouth and began sucking gently. Zev released a sound I'd never heard before, it sounded, for lack of a better phrase, like he choked on his own spit.

Pleased with his reaction, I released his finger and went back to licking his hand from his wrist to the tip of his middle finger.

"Enough" he husked and I immediately retracted my tongue. I waited on bated breath for him to wrap both our turgid flesh in the palm of his warm hand. I was damn near drooling for it. Once his hand finally made contact with the heated skin of my weeping cock I moaned, tossing my head back and thrusting up against both his hand and shaft. Zev growled deeply.

"Show me how badly you want to cum," Wrapping my arms around his neck I began to do just that. My thrusts picked up in tempo as I madly chased my release. I could feel Zev's eyes on my lewd form as it undulated against his much larger one. "Little one," Zev groaned, loosing a little of his steel-like control and began pumping his hand faster. The hand on my ass shifted to my hip and with his ridiculous strength, Zev used it to move my body up and down against his. "Fuck. Cum for me."

I didn't just cum, I fragmented. My poor little cock exploded between us and I swear my vision went black for a second. My mouth was stretched open in a silent o, it felt too good for me to make any actual sound. With a grunt, Zev came painting my chest with his warm white treat. Unable to help myself I scooped some up with my finger sticking it in my mouth. Zev watched silently, almost predatory. I couldn't help but wonder what it would taste like if his co-.

"Please don't finish that thought, or else I really will fuck the mobility out of you."

I turned an impossible shade of red. "Sorry."

By the time Zev was done cleaning us up, with my pants this time, I was about ready to fall asleep. Zev chuckled at my bobbing head as I tried to stay awake despite feeling absolutely lethargic.

"Go to sleep puppy," Zev said staring off into the trees. "I'm going to keep watch."

He stood and shifted into his second form once again laying down and I pressed myself as close to his furry side as possible.

The clearing was silent for a while. Only the breeze could be heard along with the noises of the night and they lulled me into a dreamless sleep.

Well then...😶😶😶

That escalated out of nowhere.
