The Alpha's Toy (18 page)

“
You’ve done good,
Alpha.”

“
She’s going to be a fine
woman for you.”

“
Congratulations on a mate and a
pup.”

He listened t
o the words of his men knowing
he’d made the right choice for his life and for his
pack.

Mary stared at him. Her hand
reached out toward him. She’d done this once
before
, and
he’d bitten her. Bowing his head, he offered her a chance to stroke
him. Her fingers sank into his hair.

“
You’re so beautiful,” she
said.

Waiting patiently, he watched her gaze up
at the full moon, and slowly, gracefully the full brown wolf stared
back at him.

“
Thank you for not biting
me this time.”

“
You’re
welcome.”

He drowned out the noise of their pack for
this time. Mary didn’t need to know some of the men’s erotic
thoughts when it came to her. She knew more than enough for the
time being. Zeke wasn’t the only one in his pack who thought Mary
was a sexy woman.

“
Enjoy your night, baby. It’s
going to be your last for a
while.”

She bowed her head and then took off. The
pack was running around wild throughout the night. He heard some of
them chasing after deer or wild forest animals. Others were taking
the time to run. He followed Mary toward the lake they’d visited
once before. She ran around for several miles, howling up at the
moon. Zeke stayed close by her side the whole time. She showed no
signs of slowing down or being injured.

“
Are you
scared?”

“
No, I’m concerned. Your
safety is my first priority.”

Mary charged at him, banging his
side with her nuzzle.
“Have some fun.”
She took off in the opposite direction of
the waterfall. Giving her several seconds’ head start, Zeke laughed
inside and then chased after her. He wouldn’t mind spending the
rest of his life having to chase after her.

“
Keep up, slow
coach.”

Running after her Zeke allowed
her to think she was winning. He could have
taken her at any time. She circled
around to the waterfall. Before he could stop her she jumped over
the edge into the plunging water. Halfway down he saw her turn into
a human and give herself over to the water. He was so angry. Zeke
turned into a human before jumping over the edge. When he got her
back in his arms he was going to spank her until her backside was
red fucking raw.

Coming up for air he saw Mary was
floating on her back staring up at the moon.

“
Are you fucking insane?”
he asked.

“
What?” She turned her head
to look at him.

“
Have you lost your mind? Jumping
off the fucking edge is not fucking funny,” he said, feeling his
temper start to cool as she smiled at him.

“
I didn’t mean to upset you. I
loved the rush the last time we were out here.” She moved to his
side
,
wrapping her arms around his neck. “I love you, Zeke. I wanted to
remember our night together. You, me, the full moon. Can’t you see
what I wanted? This is a beautiful spot and perfect for us to spend
the night together.”

Her lip
quivered
, and
he was a goner. Zeke couldn’t stay made at her. “Don’t do shit like
that again,” he said.

“
You’re a sucker when it
comes to me, aren’t you?”

“
You’ve got that right,
baby. I couldn’t handle anything happening to you. You’re my
future.”

She dropped a kiss to his lips. “We’ve
got to plan a white wedding.”

“
You’re not a virgin, baby.
I took care of that.” He grabbed her ass, squeezing her
flesh.

Mary laughed. “I
was
a virgin, and you
owe me. I’m having a white wedding, and you’re not going to take
that away from me.”

“
I wouldn’t dream of taking
anything from you, baby. You remember who you belong
to
, and I’ll
give you whatever you want.”

She kissed his lips, and he opened up for
her. Mary plundered her tongue into his mouth. Their moans were
drowned out by the rushing of the water. Holding her tight, he
pressed her against the edge of the fall. She gasped, wrapping her
legs around his waist as he found her core.

“
If you play your cards
right, Alpha, I’ll be your toy for far longer than tonight,” she
said.

“
Babe, you’ll never be anything
but my toy.” He teased her, slamming into her molten heat. “By the
end of the night you’ll scream my name as you beg for
more.”

She leaned in close to whisper against
his ear. “You’ll be screaming just as much.”

Zeke had no doubt of what she’d get him to
do. He was her slave just as much as she was his toy. With the full
moon glaring around them, Zeke took her hard, making love to her in
the water. They were a mated couple, destined by fate, and made
real by the love glowing between them.

Epilogue

Six Months
Later

Glancing over the latest
instructions in cot building Mary was at a loss. She listened to
the pack working on the repairs she’d
requested on the house. With the big day
drawing near she’d been confined to the pack house in order to rest
and not overexert herself. It was all right for Zeke as he was
still allowed to work. She’d been confined to rest by the pack
doctor, James.

Even though Zeke asked her not
to she’d checked James’s credentials. She didn’t trust a doctor who
demanded bed rest from a woman seven months pregnant. Okay, she
wasn’t a doctor
, but she hated being put on bed rest, and it wasn’t
exactly bed rest, just rest.

Blowing the hair off her face she
stared down at her rounded stomach. “I hope you come out soon,
buddy. I need to get out and shift or do something. I’m getting
bigger than an elephant.” Rubbing her stomach, she glanced down at
the instructions. Making a cot shouldn’t be this difficult. It was
her first time trying to make anything.

Pushing her hair out of her way she
knelt over the wood trying to figure out what each piece
was.

The men were hammering away
giving her a new porch. Zeke’s instructions were
plain
: do
what she said.

Mary had hated it at first, but having a
pack full of men wanting to be nice was a welcome relief. She was
never without company. Jessica was also being taught at home, and
she had some company at all times.

“
Zeke’s going to have a fit
when he sees what you’re trying to do,” Jane said, walking in with
milk and cookies.

“
Is that for me?” she
asked.

“
No, I’ve brought you milk and
cookies to tease you. Of course they’re for you.” Jane placed the
tray on the nearest free surface before taking a seat. “Let’s have
a look at what you’re trying to do.”

Handing Jane the instructions Mary
took a bite out of the baked cookies. After twenty minutes both of
them hadn’t assembled the tough cot.

“
This is for your man,”
Jane said.

As if Jane’s words brought him to
life, Mary looked in the doorway to see Zeke leaning against it. “I
told you I’d deal with the cot when I got home.”

“
I was bored, and you won’t let
me do anything.”

“
You’re pregnant. Carrying
my baby and you’re a half breed. James instructed you to rest
because of the dangers you face.”

Jane made herself scarce as Zeke
entered the room. He picked her up from the floor, kissing her
deeply before going to his knees to kiss her stomach.

“
Now, my dear wife, what
can I help you with?” She stared at the ring on his finger showing
to the world who he belonged to.

“
Nothing. You can kiss me
and tell me how sexy you think I am.” She wrapped her arms around
his neck and felt her cheeks heat as she struggled to get close to
him. Her large stomach was once again in the way. “Forget telling
me what you think of me.”

“
Hey, you’re my beautiful, sexy,
pregnant wife, and I’m going to love you no matter how big you get
with my baby.”

“
Big?”

He silenced her with his lips, and Mary
couldn’t remember why they were having a little argument. The last
six months had been bliss. She’d been mated, married, knocked up,
and treasured. With Zeke’s arms wrapped around her, Mary felt like
the luckiest woman in the world. The cot could wait, and so could
all the repairs to the house. When Zeke, her Alpha, her husband,
was home, everything else could wait.

“
I love you,
baby.”

“
I love you, too.”

Two months later, Mary gave birth to a
strong healthy boy. She’d never forget the look on Zeke’s face as
he stared down into his son. It was then she truly knew their love
was absolute. The way he was looking at his son was similar to the
way he looked at her.
