Alphy's Challenge (20 page)

Turning back to
Alphy, Tyler elaborated on what he just learned. “Alpha Ralph, my assistant has
just informed me the prisoners have been taken into custody. You are no longer
responsible for them. Also, he has told me of news about the herd. It seems
they don’t have a shifter doctor, so there could most certainly be sick, and
undoubtedly injured.”
 

Seamus stiffened
and looked expectantly at Alphy. “Then I need to ask that I travel with you to
the herd. When are we leaving?”

Alphy raised a
brow at Seamus. That didn’t sound like a request. Seamus’s gaze was stead as he
stared the alpha in the eyes. An ache started to make itself known in the back
of
Alphy’s
skull. Seamus was one of the few who could
give him such a challenging look without actually challenging his bear. But he
just knew the compulsive perfectionist was going to want to take everything
they had. “I don’t know. I still have some other things to finish up around
here.
A week maybe?”
Alphy sighed and rubbed his
temple.

“You can use my
private jet if you’d like. Every council member has one assigned to them,”
Tyler offered with a smile.

“Aren’t you
going to need it?” Alphy questioned the generous offer.

Tyler wiggled
his brows. “My assistant has taken the liberty of calling the council for me
for some emergency time off. He guessed Betty was my mate and informed them
already. I’m going to use my time off to woo her. So the jet will be available.
It’s sitting at the quaint little airstrip this little town hosts.”

Alphy scratched
at the short whiskers of his beard. The use of a private and personal jet was
too appealing to pass up. “All right, I accept. I’ll make my lists of what can
be done now and what can wait and give you an estimate when we can leave later tonight.”

“Excellent,”
Tyler said cheerfully. But Alphy didn’t think it was really in complete
reference to him. Tyler was staring at Betty, who had approached and was
waiting to be heard. Betty looked like she was trying to keep her composure, but
Alphy could easily scent the growing attraction between them. “Yes, Betty?”

“The feast is
ready. You need to go wash up.” Betty gave a pointed look to the dirt and blood
he had yet to wash off. It wasn’t a lot really, and with everything he faced
once he got back, it had totally slipped his mind. “Oh, right.”

The feast was a
loud and extremely happy occasion. Alphy couldn’t remember feeling more happy
or complete.
Especially with the mating of Betty and Tyler.
From the sounds of things, they were already going to try for cubs, starting
with the claiming, which Tyler was insisting be tonight. Looking fondly at the
cuddling couple, Alphy hoped the couple could be blessed with young. They were
coming to the near end of their prime, and even though shifters were fertile
much longer than humans because of their slow aging, their fertility rate was
much lower than humans’. So there was no saying whether they would be
successful or not.

Alphy had yet to
let go of his mate for longer than to wash from the challenge. He had to touch
or hold her in one way or another throughout the feast. Right now he was
holding her hand as she stood and talked animatedly about the soon-to-be
gargoyle members to her mom and brother, who were sitting nearby. He smiled
benevolently at her excitement.

Ryker nudged his
elbow. Alphy turned to him and after leaning down to hear what he had to say,
Alphy nodded his thanks. “Let the councilman know we’d like to aim for
Wednesday, then.”

“Who all are you
going to take?” Ryker whispered back.

Alphy thought
about that for a moment. He wanted to take his enforcer, but which one? He had
yet to choose which shifter would be the lead enforcer. “I want you and Seamus,
and Tom and Connie would like to go, too. Havana, Reese, and Betty have offered
to help with the cubs so they can leave them here. I’d like
Kace
,
and that just leaves which enforcer to take.”

Ryker’s face lit
up. “Oh please tell me we can finally have the enforcer challenge!” Ryker
hopped with apparent glee, and his fangs were easily seen through his large
open-mouthed smile.

Alphy restrained
from laughing, but his hearty amusement warmed his chest and tickled inside his
full stomach.
“Yeah.
We can have the enforcer
challenge tomorrow, at the challenge arena.”

His friend let
out a whoop and announced the news excitedly to everyone around them.
 
Tugging on Gale’s hand, Alphy led her from
the energized room. Stopping by Enzo first, Alphy leaned over and whispered
into his ear. “I don’t care if the house is on fire—no one disturbs me and my
mate.”

Enzo laughed and
nodded his head as Alphy picked his mate up in his arms, ignoring her squeak of
surprise, and leaped up the stairs closing the door with his foot as he entered
their room.

Looking into the
glowing face of his mate, Alphy returned her radiant smile as he walked over
and gently placed her on the bed. As soon as her body dipped into the bedding,
Alphy crushed his lips to hers and drank in her soft and sweet lips. Gale’s
head pushed low into the soft pillow as he threw all the passion he felt into
the kiss. He lay over her body and covered her with his bulk. After pulling
back to allow them both to breathe, Alphy looked into Gale’s lust blown hazel
eyes. He smiled down at her. “I love you, Gale, my mate. I’ve never been
happier.”

Gale smiled up
at him. “I love you, too, Alphy.” Her hand smoothed down his cheek at her
admission.
Alphy’s
chest felt like it would explode
with the happiness he felt. How could anyone possibly contain this emotion
without bursting apart?

Alphy leaned
down and nipped Gale’s plump lips. He gently rubbed his whiskers against her
cheek,
then
grazed them over her soft skin across her
jaw and down her neck. Gale angled her hips to rub against his restricted
bulge. Alphy let his body rest on one hand as he sent the other to wander over
her soft curves. The fabric of her clothes irritated him. They kept his hands
from smoothing over her warm skin. Pulling back and sitting on his heels, Alphy
reached a hand back and grabbed the neck of his shirt, pulling it up over his
head and throwing it onto the floor. Next, he unbuttoned the top of his pants,
but his dick pressed so hard against the front of his zipper, Alphy had to be careful
when he pulled down on the tab.

Gale sat still
as she watched him. Her eyes stayed on his hands as he reached in and pulled
out his weeping cock. Alphy slowly jacked his shaft, pulling long on the end to
squeeze out another dollop of his clear liquid. Gale licked her lips and tried
to reach for him with her hands.

“Uh, uh, uh.” he
chided, grabbing her hands and placing them above her head. “I’m in charge, honey-bear.
Keep those hands right there or I’ll have to punish you.”

Gale’s eyes rose
up to look into his. If he would have played with her a few days ago, the way
he was going to play with her now, she would have been afraid of him. But
looking into her eyes right now, he knew she wasn’t afraid, and better yet, she
was turned on.

Hoping off the
bed, he slowly chucked his shoes, socks, and pants. Then climbing back onto the
bed, Alphy straddled Gale, his leaking cockhead bobbing between them.

Alphy ran his
hands up Gale’s sides,
then
rubbed them over her
breasts, pinching her perky peaks. Gale lightly gasped and arched her back. Her
hips moved in circles, and her scent sweetened the air with her ready juices.
She moaned as he continued to rub his hands over her curves and squeezed every
one of them. He loved how soft she was, how warm she was, and how responsive
she was to him and his touch.
  

Grabbing the hem
of her shirt, Alphy let his claws extend just enough to rip the fabric,
then
pulled his hands apart. The sound of the fabric tearing
apart ripped through the room as it gave way to his strength. Gale’s soft pale
flesh was unveiled before him, stirring up her scent and making his dick bob
with the elated spasm. Her white bra was next. Grabbing the front, between the
two mounds, he yanked on the fabric. It didn’t stand a chance against his
strength. The dusky pink wrinkled skin of her nipples hardened as the cooler
air breezed over them.

“Roll over onto
your belly.”
Alphy’s
voice was low and rough. As he
moved aside, his balls ached painfully and rolled in their sack as he watched
his mate quickly obey. Closing his eyes and holding the base of his shaft, he
quickly got himself back under control.
 

Alphy grabbed
the strips of torn fabric of her shirt, carefully around her wrists, then using
the straps of the ruined
bra,
he tied his mate to the
frame of the bed. Leaning back onto his heels, Alphy looked down at his mate.
She wasn’t quite ready yet.
Hmm
, he
thought.

Alphy hooked his
fingers into the waist of her pants, and he gently tugged. Gale raised her hips
slightly, letting the denim glide down her legs. Alphy tossed them aside. His
fingers lightly grazed up her legs, over the satiny white panties she still had
on, along her arch, eliciting a squeak as she leaned away from the tickling
fingers. He continued up her body until he reached the skin on her neck. He
brushed aside the strands of her dirty blonde hair. Leaning down, Alphy glided
his nose up and over the rim of her ear. He flicked out his tongue and followed
the same path, tasting her salty skin. Next, Alphy nibbled the delicate area
and scraped his beard down the back of her ear, down her neck and over her
shoulder. He saw her skin prickle with
goosebumps
.
Alphy let his lips glide over her prickled skin, and he breathed a gentle
breeze across her small hairs on the back of her neck. Alphy rested the length
of his dick along the seam of her silken covered cheeks and casually rutted. The
satin felt smooth and soft against his heated length.

Gale arched her
back, raising her butt higher. Pressing his cock deeper into the crease of her
crack, and flexing her butt cheeks, she was able to caress his cock between
them. Alphy gave a guttural groan and was unable to stop from rutting harder
and leaking more fluids.

“Naughty girl,”
he breathed over her ear. “I’m the one who’s in control.” With his hands on her
hips, he pressed down and stopped her movements.

Gale let out a
disappointed growl. Alphy laughed at the sound she made. Deciding he liked this
pair of undies, he leaned back and carefully removed them. As he did, he let
his eyes feast on his mate’s treasures. Her trimmed honey-pot glistened with
her arousal.
Alphy’s
bear growled an approval at the
sight, urging to taste her.

“Get up on your
knees, honey-bear. You can lean on your elbows.” Helping her situate herself,
Alphy made sure her legs were far enough apart, but still high enough in the
air to do what he wanted.

Alphy stuck out his
tongue and speared her clit. Keeping the tip of his tongue hard, he flicked it
around the little nub, letting her unique flavor spread across his taste buds.
He breathed in her scent of desire and rumbled out in pleasure. Her smell could
intoxicate him. Alphy sucked in her nub, and rolled it around his tongue before
letting it go. His giant hands splayed over her backside, holding her butt
cheeks open and keeping her hips still enough not to wiggle away.

Gale’s muffled
whimpers and moans sang to his ears that she liked what he was doing.
Flattening his tongue, Alphy decided to roam. He slid his tongue back,
following her crease up to her pink star. Gale squeaked in surprise. Alphy
chuckled as he slid the tip of his tongue around the hole. Alphy rimmed her
twice before taking the path back down to her vagina, dipping the tip into her
den, then slid out and rimmed her nub.

When Alphy made
it back up to her pink star, he made an all-out feast of it. Pulling back, he
let his breath puff over her slicked folds as he taunted her with what he
planned to do to her in the future. “I’m going to order a butt-plug for you, honey-bear.
It’s going to feel
so
good as I slam my cock deep in
your pussy. It’ll make you come so hard.” He knew his mate liked the idea
because her pussy got wetter and her arousal intensified. “Oh yeah, baby, you
like that, don’t you?”

Alphy sucked in
her silky and sensitive flesh and rubbed his tongue against her. Her hips
gyrated and her cries of pleasure intensified as he buried his full face
against her and drank in her sweet taste. She was getting close, and he wanted
her to come. Reaching up, he placed two fingers inside her little den. Hooking
them slightly, he felt the slightly rougher spot he was aiming for. Rubbing his
fingers across it, Alphy sucked in her nub again and used the thumb of his
other hand, and he pressed against her back door and rubbed it.

Gale went nuts
and screamed into her pillow as she came. Her muscles clamped around his
fingers as her whole body tensed with the euphoric explosion. He could feel her
puckered star spasm, too, as her muscles squeezed and released. Pulling his
fingers out, Alphy sucked them into his mouth and enjoyed the silky fluids that
coated them.

“
Mmmmmm
.”
He moaned around the two
digits. Pulling them out, he spoke in a silky voice, “You taste so good, honey-bear.
Now I’m going to ride you and make you come again before I explode inside of
you. When I do, I’m going to claim you again, biting you, which will make you
come a third time.”

Gale was breathing
heavily, but she nodded her head. “Good girl. Now get this ass up higher in the
air. That’s it.” Alphy praised her as he kissed her back. After quickly making
sure he wasn’t pulling too hard on her bonds, he grabbed her hips firmly, and
lining his aching cock up to her tight hole, Alphy didn’t give Gale any more
warning as he sunk himself to the hilt, slamming her soft cheeks against his
hips. Her body rippled from the jarring impact.
