** Present Day **
ANNALISE…
I had been attending a charity function that Randall was meant to attend with me, but he got called away on an urgent matter. So I was dressed up in a beautiful sparkly black knee-length dress, with my hair up in a tight bun and some light make-up just to cover the last of the fading bruise on my jaw. As Randall had deserted me, I couldn’t decline any of the males that asked me to dance. However, it helped that with every dance that one did, money was put toward their chosen charity.
After being swung around the dance floor for the last 4 songs straight, I was starting to feel not only a little tired, but I was feeling those light pains in my lower stomach once again, making me feel sick. So, to duck the next male that was walking toward me, I decided it was time to head home.As I sit in the back of the pack limo, I rub my forehead and think about what has been happening over the last couple of months. Randall has been rather distant and secretive, well even more distant than he normally is, we have been mated for the last 5 years, and we still haven’t been blessed with the miracle of a pup.Doctor Kassidy said that the tests all came back clear and there wasn’t anything wrong with Randall’s sperm. So he immediately blamed me even though my tests too came back all clear. Even the doctor couldn’t understand why I wasn’t conceiving. Now, every morning after my heat, Randall would give me a pregnancy test to do. He would never watch me do it, but he would always ask me what the result was when he saw me at some stage during that day.Most of those tests were negative in the first week however by halfway through the 2nd I would get a weak positive which would get brighter over the following days however, exactly one week after the pregnancy tests were a strong positive, I would wake in the middle of the night and with a sharp pain running through my lower abdomen.
The first time it happened it scared the shit out of me I get out of bed and when to the toilet as soon as I sat down another sharp pain raked through my whole body and I then felt a rush of something and then the pain stopped. I stood up, turned and saw that the toilet was full of blood. Not wanting Randall to worry, I cleaned up and had a quick shower, feeling better. I was going to tell Randall that I was pregnant later that morning if the test still showed that I was pregnant. However, the next morning when I did the pregnancy test, it came back negative.
I never told Randall or Doctor Kassidy, as I didn't know what they would do with knowing that I was conceiving, but I wasn't able to carry it any longer than a week. Now the longer it was taking me to fall pregnant, the more aggressive Randall was becoming. Any small mistake now earns me a punch to the stomach, ribs, hips and upper thighs, anywhere that can be covered or he forces himself on me.
You’re probably wondering why a warrior-born werewolf like myself wouldn’t defend themselves and stop his attacks, and if it was anyone other than Randall I would, but he isn’t just my mate he is my Alpha and it had all started so small and he would initially apologise the next day, and make it up to me with some pleasurable sex. He also reasons that it was his father's dying wish for me to give him a granddaughter and Randall wanted nothing more than to see this happen.I hadn’t even realised how bad it had gotten until my best friend Thalia Jenkins pulled me into one of the empty offices on our floor one morning and pointed out that she knew what my husband/mate was doing as she could see the fresh bruises he had given me the night before as he took his pleasure. She handed me her small compact mirror showing me that I had missed one on my lower cheek when I was covering up the bruises on my cheek this morning.Unfortunately, Randall always seemed to get worse and hit me more whenever my heat was approaching, even though you would think that he would do the opposite, wanting me to want to be close to him during that time. He always started around 4 weeks before my heat started and once I was close enough, I would have to have just over a week off of work.Randall always locked me in our room for 6 days, three days before my heat started, and for the first three days of my heat, my heat usually lasted 5 days. After that, he would leave me alone until the pull in his own body got too much and he would come back into the room, do enough to get himself to release and then leave again with the excuse of Alpha work.On those days and for two days after I was not allowed to go to work as most of the time I ended up with bruises and cuts everywhere and a lot of them were in places that my work outfits wouldn’t cover even with the long sleeves, the high neck and either a long skirt or loose pants that looked like a skirt.Randall had seemed to leave me alone for the last couple of months. Yes, Randall has been out of pack territory a few times over the past few months for Alpha business, and when he is home other than a slap here and there, he has left me alone. I was starting to wonder why. My question was answered not long after I got back to the packhouse because as soon as I walked up the stairs, onto the Alpha floor and then opened the door to the Alpha apartment, I know something wasn’t right and the pain in my lower stomach gets worse.I can then hear moans, groans, grunts, and screams of pleasure echoing throughout the apartment, but mainly coming from the direction of our bedroom. I place my purse on the side table in the hallway and follow the sounds, open the door to our room, and find Randall in our bed with my little sister, Charmine, and her best friend Candace Blight.I don't miss the subtle hint of Candace's heat filling the room as I freeze. Tears build in my eyes and I can’t take my eyes off the three of them having sex on our bed. Candace is on her back as Charmine is over the top of her on all fours, as Randall pounds into her from behind. They moan and then Charmine lets out a scream at the same time there is a grunt and groan from Randall telling me that they have reached their orgasms and Randall has just ejaculated inside Charmine.Tears slide down my cheeks as he smiles at me. He then leans forward and proceeds to kiss up her back before wrapping his hand around her throat. She moans as he tightens his grip and starts thrusting his hips into her once more. I didn’t like the way he did that. I could never breathe and I felt like he wouldn't stop before he strangled me, so I would always struggle against him. As I back out of the room, I hear Randall yell,“Annalise. Come back in here and watch… Annalise… Annalise, don’t you dare leave this packhouse…”For the first time in years, I don’t listen as I turn and run down the stairs and out of the packhouse. I run and run. I don’t know where I am going until I enter the small city nearby. I slow my running when I hear the sound of music. I follow the sound through the streets until I find where it is coming from. Once out the front, I stop opposite the entrance. I am surprised when I realise that this is the dance club I and the girls from work usually come to on a Friday night.I look at the long line of people wanting to get inside. I wipe my face as I sigh. The wait was just going to be too long and my mate will come looking for me soon. I so needed a drink to get the vision of seeing Randall holding Charmine’s body close to his, to get the sounds of their bodies hitting each other and the moans and groans of the pleasure they were sharing.Now, I just wanted to be a female of 23 and have some fun and not be the Luna of a pack with the responsibilities of always looking and acting professionally. I sigh again and turn to walk away, but one of the bouncers surprises me as he grabs my arm, saying.
“The owner is expecting you. Please enter and enjoy yourself.”
ANNALISE… I am surprised by this as I don’t know the owner of this dance club, well at least I don’t think I do but then as the picture of my mate, my sister and her best friend plays again in my mind I accept the offer and allow the bouncer to escort me inside. I go to the bathroom first and freshen up, removing what was left of the makeup from my face. I give myself a small smile, as I don’t like wearing makeup. However, I had no choice but to become used to using and wearing it, as I either had to use it to cover some of the bruises Randall gave me accidentally where they could be seen or take time off of work until they healed enough not to be noticed. I check the bruise on the side of my jaw and the upper part of my neck. I sigh in relief at the sight and the fact that it has almost disappeared. I lift my head high and walk out of the bathroom. I then make my way over to the bar. I am surprised when people move out of my way, allowing me to get to the bar rather quickly. The ba
NICOLAS…I pick up my drink and take a sip as I watch Annalise continue to dance, yes I knew who she was as soon as I saw her, I automatically lean toward Inga as she says, “She seems different tonight.” “Really? How so?” I turn just a little and watch as she continues to dance changing from one song to the next, I then look back at Inga as she says, “Normally when she comes in with her friends, they are up on the dance floor dancing with anyone and everyone but she is quiet and shy. She is always at the table, always the one watching the drinks and none of her friends are able to convince her to dance, well very often anyway. Tonight she has only had the drinks I have made for her and hasn’t left the dance floor.” “Have you been watching the drinks others are giving her?” “Yes, Alpha. Any drink we suspect to be tampered with doesn’t make it into her hand.” “Good.” I don’t condone the use of drugs in my dance club. If my patrons want to do things like that willingly, well, the
ANNALISE…Now, even though Randall and I have been trying for a pup, he has stopped being loving; he never let me feel any pleasure anymore and I have now come to call these encounters with him his pup insemination sex. He pins me where he wants and then thrusts his cock inside me until he ejaculates and then pulls out, leaving me feeling used, dirty and unsatisfied where ever I happen to be.This male seemed different. His hands ran over my body, seeming to set it on fire. He doesn’t break the heated kiss as he moves us over to the seats and, using his hands, pulls up my skirt until it is sitting at my hips. I take a sharp breath in as he rips my panties off, making them dig into my hip. He uses this to slip his tongue into my mouth, making me moan. Fire and sparks spread across my skin and seem to settle in my core. I then feel his hand between us as he undoes his belt and then his zipper. I can’t believe I’m doing this or how he’s causing the fire and response in my body from his
ANNALISE…I wake and smile as I stretch. That was the best night's sleep I have had in years and for a change, I feel pleasantly sore, but in all the right places. Randall must have been in a loving mood last night when I returned home. I then snap my hands to my face and groan as I move the light is over bright from the window and my head is spinning. Once my head stops spinning, I slowly uncover my eyes, allowing them to adjust to the morning light. I am surprised when I look around that I am not in our room. I move slightly to get a better look around and realise that I don’t know where I am or who this place belongs to. I then hear a soft groan from behind me and feel the heavy arm that is draped over my waist. It then moves, pulling me tighter up against him. I feel as he pushes his nakedness up against mine, making me shiver as the fire starts in my body once more. I want to feel more as the fire grows and spreads through me. I slowly move my hips, rubbing myself against him.
ANNALISE…Today is Sunday, so I get out of the shower, and put a small medical dressing on the bite he didn’t seal, knowing that in a few hours, it will seal itself and I can remove them. I then pull on my dressing gown and then head into the closet. I pull out a simple sundress and slip it on. I then head out into the pack, keeping up the illusion of the happy Luna. Don’t get me wrong, I love being Luna and the pack loves me but not having a pup with Randall yet is starting to weigh heavily on me as Luna and one of the biggest responsibilities that a Luna has… Continuing the Alpha bloodline. I am surprised over the coming weeks that Randall allows me to continue to attend work without his usual complaints. Other than the incident with Charmine, he only enforced his right to have sex with me a couple of times. After the shower, it wasn’t until he returned from one of his business trips. He walked into the packhouse, dumped his bags, and then cornered me in the kitchen. Before I rea
ANNALISE… Charmine smirks even more as she then says, “Now, either Randall can get rid of you and I can take my rightful place and become his Luna. Or I can get rid of you for him and still get what I want because of what now grows inside me.” Charmine places her hand over the lower part of her abdomen before she turns on her heels and saunters out of my room. Over the last few weeks or months, Randall was no doubt fucking both Charmine and Candace. I had kept telling myself that I didn’t care that Randall was with them, which I didn't. I had just hoped he would have made sure that there was no way for them to fall pregnant, as Randall kept insisting that he wanted his heir to be conceived by his mate. As his father had requested, I mentally slap myself for thinking that Randall would like sex any other way but raw and would leave them alone, even through their heat. I then get to my feet and run to the toilet and empty my already empty stomach as I have had a chance to go down
NICOLAS…Douglas clears his throat and I finally force my attention back to the half-a-dozen board members sitting along the table in front of me. They are all looking at me expectantly and as I haven’t been listening; I have no clue as to what they are looking at me for. The male next to me says, “Nicolas, it may be Monday, but you need to focus. Do you agree with the new proposal or not?” He flicks his eyes down to the paper in front of me; I lean forward and skim over the typed words before looking at all the other males in front of me; I pick up my pen and go over the paper again. I cross some things out and put other things in I then pass it to the male next to me as I say, “I have made a few changes that would make this proposal better. Go over them and we will put the new changes to a vote this afternoon.” I then stand and walk out of the meeting room. I, however, walk straight into Annalise. The pile of papers in her hands goes flying. I grab her arms, preventing her from
ANNALISE… That snaps me out of whatever it was I was in and I look at her as if she had grown 2 heads within the last 10 minutes. I then shake my head and move back over to my desk and sit down. I look at all the paperwork sitting in front of me and decide to use the time Mr Nightmoon just gave me to my advantage. Thalia then sits down in the chair opposite me and says,"Come on, you looked like a lost puppy not only when he caught you and stopped you from hitting the floor but when I came in after he had gone... Come on Anna... Tell me... You have a crush on him, don't you?""Thalia! Who doesn't have a crush on Mr Nightmoon? However, I am a..." I look around and make sure there are no other humans nearby before continuing, "I am a mated werewolf. I am with the one that the Moon Goddess paired me with... I am happy..." Thalia sits up in the chair and says in a harsh whisper, "Don't bullshit me, Annalise. A true mate does not beat and rape their mate..." "What? How did you?... He
