Bad Wolf (boyxboy)

Chapter 22: The attack

"I don't want to tear you apart again, so don't piss me off."

🌕

Teddy stops just short of a clearing. He jerks his head back a fraction as he sniffs the air. "Here should be far enough in for us to shift. We are alone." 

Mani looks up at the bright white moon in the blackened sky through the clearing, just a shade from its full circle. "It's shining bright tonight." He comments. 

"The moon doesn't shine, it's a reflection of the sun." Teddy informes with an air of supremacy in his tone. 

"I know that! It's a figure of speech.' Mani says as he rolls his eyes. He pulls his bag from his back and places it by his feet. "Ok. You undress here, I'll undress over there." Mani points to a tree just a few metres away. 

Teddy looks at Mani with a slight pout. "Can't we just strip down here? You've already seen me naked. I have nothing to hide." 

"But you haven't seen me." Mani points out. 

"I have." Teddy says now grinning. 

"What? When?" Mani subconsciously crosses his body with his arms as if he's already naked. 

"When you stayed over." Teddy grins even wider. "I saw your cute little butt disappear into those shorts…" 

"Oh my God! You are actually a pervert!" Mani's mouth falls open. Teddy just reaches forwards to place two fingers under his chin to close it. 

He takes a step forwards to the omega, looking into his brown eyes. "I know you were admiring me too, so just watch the pedestal you are putting yourself on, because I will knock you off it." He lowers his hand, half expecting Mani to say something humanly clever, but he says nothing. "It's just you and me in these woods and soon we will become wolf. I don't want to tear you apart again so don't piss me off ok?" 

"What do you want then?" Mani finds himself asking as he looks up and into those blue eyes of Teddy's. 

Teddy takes his hand to the zipper of Mani's hoodie and slowly begins to lower it down. "I want to undress you, then I want you to undress me. I want us to see each other for who we are, naked with nothing to hide behind. I want to see you shift into the black wolf before my eyes. My omega. My mate." Teddy now begins to pull the hoodie sleeves down Mani's arms and soon it is discarded on the ground.

Mani becomes powerless to the words and actions of the alpha. With the moon high in the sky, he knew his instincts were at play, but this time around he felt at ease with it. Mani wanted Teddy to undress him, to touch him, to hold him close. Mani reaches forward, pulling the poppers apart of Teddy's jacket to reveal the fitted t-shirt covering that well defined chest. 

Teddy's hands drop to the side, as the weight of the jacket easily falls to the ground. Mani reaches for the hem of Teddy's tee and with a firm grip, begins to pull the garment up his body. He feels an uncontrollable pull towards the alpha, with the need to speed up the process, with Teddy feeling the same as he is now doing the same to Mani. 

Arms get tangled and twisted amidst the pressing urge to undress as finally they stand opposite each other, both bare chested. Teddy places a large hand to Mani's hip, pulling him towards him, their chests bump together at the speed of the action, with Mani lifting his head to meet Teddy's gaze. 

Teddy runs his other hand across the dark brown fallen locks over Mani's eyes and then takes a thumb to Mani's lips, the pad of his thumb brushes over the hooped piercing through his lower lip. He leans in, slow at first, watching in anticipation to see what his omega may do. Would he try to fight this? Or more specifically, would he be able to resist? 

Mani feels his eyes want to close as one of his hands slowly reaches out, grabbing onto the belt of Teddy's jeans for support. He hears a faint growl from his alpha's throat, he is so close, a breath away. Then it is felt. Contact, a kiss. 

It feels so intense, so urgent in that moment, that neither have the strength to pull away, even if they wanted to. Teddy kisses with animalistic fire as he takes a few steps forwards, causing Mani to step back and eventually pinning him against a tree. 

Mani can feel the heat from Teddy. Even on this cold night. He could also feel a twitch in his bones that any moment he was going to shift. He is about to force himself away from the heated embrace to say just that, when he senses a change in Teddy. The alpha's body seems to tense a little as he suddenly pulls his head away from the kiss. "What is it?" Mani questions, sensing there is something not quite right. 

Then out of nowhere it hits the alpha. An attack from the side. Teddy hits the ground as someone or something is shrouding him. A figure in long dark clothing. Vampire…is this a vampire? 

"Teddy!" Mani shouts. It causes the figure over his mate to look up at the omega, emotionally pinned to the tree. The figure stands. Towering over Mani's smaller frame. Mani could smell the stench of the being. He sees the eyes. The blood red eyes. 

"Don't you fucking touch him!" Comes the shout from the ground as Teddy hurriedly gets to his feet and pulls at the vampire from behind. It causes the bloodkind to turn and face Teddy once again. The vampire instantly takes a hand to Teddy's throat, lifting Teddy from the ground before he is being pushed back across the woodland, with a tree trunk stopping the full force of the blow. 

"Teddy!" Mani shouts. He feels powerless, useless. He doesn't know what to do. 

"DAD! DAD STOP!" 

Mani hears the familiar voice of someone calling. He looks in the distance to see someone running in his direction. 

"Tyler?"
