Killian was trying to work out, but he couldn’t concentrate.
What in the fuck had he gotten himself into?
He couldn’t really explain it, but it was like now that he had gotten a taste of Kendra… gotten a taste of her lips, of her skin, he just couldn’t seem to stop himself and his thoughts.
He wanted more!
But that did not even make any sense.
He had never felt that way with anyone, not even Artemis whose company he was growing to appreciate more and more each day, the feelings just… confused him.
Was he feeling this way because inwardly, she was the one he wanted to be with?
Or was it because he was afraid that she would find her love in the arms of another man from another pack and leave him all alone?
At this point, he didn’t know anymore… and he didn’t care.
All he knew was that he was a very stubborn man, and that he was going to fight whatever was happening to him for as long as he could, even if it meant avoiding her for a little longer until he finally managed to figure things out.
With that resolve, he resumed his workout routine… his arms flexing at the freakishly scary weights he kept lifting.
When Killian heard the knock at the door, his frozen heart skipped a beat, and he almost dropped the weight on his poor neck. Of course the strain wouldn’t have killed him or hurt him in anyway, but it would have been a very uncomfortable feeling. He was glad nothing happened.
The knock sounded again, and he stood up in trepidation.
Was she the one at the door?
Had she come to demand his reasons for avoiding her like she had last time?
The Alpha remembered what had happened last time very well. It was vividly and permanently etched in his memory in fact.
His Beta had harmlessly tried to seduce him, and it had almost worked,
Almost.
Now though, he wasn’t sure she was going to be doing any seducing, not with the way she had been actively avoiding him at least.
Killian knew that this time, if anything did happen, it was going to be all him.
If he couldn’t control himself just at the thought of her, he didn’t know what the fucking sight of her was going to do to him. The funny thing was that, all of it wasn’t even about his own pleasure, but about hers.
For some reason, he relished in the hearing of her highly erotic, pleasure-filled moans, and pants as he made her tremble and writhe with abandon.
His thought process was interrupted as the knock sounded again, the third time. He groaned in frustration and headed for the door.
But instead of Kendra, a familiar redhead met the Alpha’s gaze when he opened the door.
“What were you doing in there?” She asked mischievously as she brushed past him into the room. “I had been knocking since forever… hell, I almost gave up because I thought you weren’t in.”
“I was working out.” He told her curtly, slight irritation in his tone. It wasn’t her though, it was just that he didn’t know just how badly he had wanted whoever it was at the door to be Kendra until he had opened it only to see that it wasn’t her.
The disappointment had just ruined his mood.
“What did you want?” He asked, brushing his dark curls away from his face. He made a mental note to get a haircut. His hair had grown much longer than he usually liked it.
“Well, I just came to check up on you… you know, to see how you were doing and to keep you company…” She trailed off softly, biting her lip in the process. “I can see that you’re working out, so I’m just going to sit here,” She sat demurely in one of the couches, “I’m not even going to be in your way, carry on as though I’m not here.”
Killian only grunted, a small nod being the only indication that he had heard her and was okay with her proposition.
Ten minutes into the workout, and the Alpha was still trying to reign his disappointment in.
How long was it going to take Kendra to be okay with what he had done?
Maybe he needed to go and see her after he was done. He nodded. That was exactly what he was going to do.
Another thought suddenly popped into his head though, boiling his blood and causing his eyes to shift into that of his wolf’s as a growl escaped his lips.
Tyrone Riverdale!
His Beta had been with the other Alpha all through the Supernatural ball, hell he couldn’t erase how the brute had made her laugh from his mind.
Kendra was never that free around him?
Was Tyrone the reason why Kendra was avoiding him now?
Was there something going on between them that he had failed to see?
***
Artemis was so wet.
Seeing the Alpha bare chested, lifting those insane weights like they weighed nothing was turning her on so much, she was pretty sure her lady garments were ruined.
But despite her crazy, horny state, the redhead could tell that something was bothering the sexy hunk. It was causing his Alpha aura to roll off him in waves, heightening her state of arousal even further. At that point, Artemis wasn’t even sure he was aware of what was happening.
Oh, but she was going to make him feel better soon.
Standing up from the couch, she reached for the zipper of her gown and dragged it down softly, slowly… her eyes still locked on how the Alpha’s muscles flexed with each thrust he made. She bit her bottom lip as she felt her pussy clench violently again.
Her soft, pink gown slipped down her shoulders to pool at her feet, leaving her in just her lady drawers. She had decided to forgo the chemise and corset for today, and looking back now, it looked like she had made the best decision.
There was nothing sexy about being in the complete Victorian woman underwear set!
The Alpha’s back was to her, so he had no idea what she was up to. That revelation thrilled the redhead even more as she inched closer and closer to him.
She reached out to wrap her arms around him, only she wasn’t prepared for the next sequence of events that ensued.
Even though wolves didn’t fall sick nor die easily, Artemis could have sworn that she almost had a heart attack when she pressed her small, perky mounds against the Alpha’s sweaty back only for him to growl loudly, flinging the weights away and grabbing her by the neck, slowly choking the life out of her.
He seemed to have turned feral, not even recognizing her, and his face had turned into the horrendous caricature she was slowly starting to get used to. “Killian—” She choked, fearfully trying to fight him off as best as she could.
The she-wolf had never felt more terrified in her life.
Luckily for her, she saw the feral look fade from the Alpha’s eyes, his gaze changing into that of recognition a few seconds before he realized what he was doing.
He let go of her neck like he had been burned.
“What the hell, Artemis?” He exploded angrily. “What were you thinking, I almost killed you!”
The poor redhead struggled to catch her breath, “
I-I’m so sorry,” She pleaded, slowly starting to feel better because of her rapid healing abilities. “I could feel that something was bugging you and I just wanted to make you feel better.” She explained.
Killian sighed, brushing his curls away from his face… he looked like himself now and he honestly felt bad for the she-wolf.
True, she shouldn’t have had sprung up on him like that, but he could understand where she was coming from.
He had half a mind to say no to her and send her back to her chambers, but what good would it do him to do that?
He literally had someone willing to be with him when he had literally almost killed her a few seconds ago.
She wasn’t scared of him?
If she was, she would have fled his chambers as soon as he had let go of that pretty neck of hers, but she still stood there, looking up at him with dazed eyes, her jutting nipples clearly pointing out how aroused she was. It was as though she someway somehow craved the pain.
What he needed to do was accept this very welcome invitation, and forget about a certain fiery, caramel colored woman with waist length kinky curls!
He reached for the redhead, finally one with his inner thoughts.
That was exactly what he was going to do.
“I can’t promise to be gentle,” He told her point blank as he bent to bite her neck hard, his face morphing back now that he was getting some action.
To his surprise the she-wolf just moaned and smirked, “Good.” She said, “I wasn’t expecting you to.”
Their lips locked in a very captivating kiss that had Killian wondering just how much of a kinky freak the she-wolf was to be kissing him so senseless even though he looked like what could only be found in nightmares.
He wasn’t feeling a thing, but her active moans and pleas for more fueled him on, pushing him to grab her small mounds, pinching the pointy nipples as hard as he could. He thought she would cry out in pain, but she only threw her head back and moaned harder, “Do it again!”
Killian was mesmerized.
He had never gotten this far with any woman, so the whole thing was new to him. Nevertheless, he was a quick learner, and so he swiftly caught on, working her until she was soon a writhing mess.
He felt her grab his cock through his breeches, and a loud involuntary roar escaped him, just as fangs broke out, almost reaching for her neck to finish her off.
Her sharp reflexes made her pull away just in time, her pussy throbbing even harder at thrill of the danger. She tried to lean in again, but the Alpha had had enough.
“No, Artemis. I think you should leave.” He said.
He still didn’t know how far the curse went, but he learnt something new about it each day.
“But—”
“No. Get out, now.” He interrupted, his voice even, but oozing so much power that she just had to obey.
The red head quickly slipped into her gown and headed out of the chamber without another word, deeply lost in thought.
Despite all her ministrations, the Alpha’s cock never rose.
