Alpha Vaughan

Chapter 47

Some Elders, along with a bunch of werewolf enforcers, were sent out to the fey dimension, and before evening we received word back. They were going to honour the pact.

The rest of the day was spent training rigorously, and welcoming Alphas from different packs along with their warriors.

The evening sun glistened on the bare backs and corded arms of the training warriors. Vaughan stood before them, shirtless. His muscles flexed deliciously as he practiced, sweat sliding down his toned abs--

"Focus, Hilda," the Seer said for the umpteenth time.

I snapped my attention back to her, smiling apologetically. Robyn sat a distance behind her, spooning some ice cream into her mouth. She winked at me understandingly. Fighting a blush, I focused on the matter at hand, lifting a particularly large boulder.

"Focus." The Seer's tone was calm. "Search within you for your strength and channel it, shape it, control it..."

Taking in a deep breath, I outstretched my arms, positioning it before the stone. Closing my eyes, I sought my essence.

"That's it, now feed it. Use your emotions as a catalyst..."

A memory of Vaughan dancing with me at the masquerade ball rose in my mind. His glinting eyes, his molten laughter... A dull thrum pulsed in my veins.

"Stronger," the Seer commanded, her voice starting to sound distant.

An image of father's dispassionate face entered my mind, and my brows drew together in anger. I thought of my days in the dank cell, the times he held a syringe to me. The times the glinting needle came down on my neck--

My eyes flew open and the boulder went flying into a distance. It crashed against a large tree, snapping it in two with a loud crack.

The warriors briefly stopped in their training to throw a glance my way. Vaughan looked at me, nodding firmly, his eyes commending.

"Good," the Seer said, coming to stand before me. "Now." She motioned with a wave of her hand towards two werewolves, and they came carrying with them two more large boulders. "Concentrate."

Night soon descended, and In the shower, I released a blissful sigh when hot water cascaded down my skin, soothing my aching muscles.

The door opened, and Vaughan came in. Without a word, he took off his clothes and stepped into the shower with me.

He turned me around so my back met his front, then he started to soap me, massaging my shoulders as he did so. A content sigh escaped me, my head falling back.

"How are you holding up Vaughan?" I asked earnestly.

He didn't say anything for a while, then he plainly intoned, "You could die tomorrow."

I waited until he was done with my back before turning to face me. I cupped his face, staring into his haunted eyes. Firmly I said, "I won't."

He leaned into my hand, holding my eyes captive. "You can't know that."

"You can't know that I would die, either."

His jaw clenched, and rubbed his face against my palms. "Promise me, Hilda. Promise me you won't. I... I don't know what I'd do."

He looked so helpless and lost in that moment that my heart twisted, and I nodded, vowing, "I won't. I won't die, I promise." Even I wasn't sure of that, but I was sure I'd try to keep myself alive if for Vaughan. My chin rose. "And you, promise me."

He nodded. "I promise."

Afterwards he lifted me off the shower, dried me up, and then proceeded straight to the bed, laying me down on it gently.

He climbed in, rising above me.

His lips found mine shortly, and he kissed me slowly but passionately, his tongue thrusting into mine softly.

My nipples puckered and I arched, rubbing them against the broad expanse of his chest. He growled low in his throat, and placed a knee between my legs spreading them. Then they went upwards to settle between my thighs. His lips left mine and he growled into my ear, "You're soaking wet."

A shiver ran through me and I rocked against his knee. He stayed my movements by placing a hand on my hip.

Kissing the side of my neck, he proceeded to rain open mouthed kisses down my body, worshipping it.

He took a nipple into his mouth, rumbling around it, "Beautiful." As he took greedy pulls, my back bowed, a ragged breath escaping me.

He kissed downwards, swirling a tongue around my bellybutton. Then he stopped before my core. I could feel his breath on me, his eyes... I felt myself grow wetter, clenching desperately.

He bit off a curse and spread my nether lips, going in to lap from me directly, sucking with delicious abandon.

When he drew my clit between his lips and fit a finger into me, I cried out, "Vaughan!" My hands went down to fist in his hair, and I raised my hips into his greedy lips.

After he'd drawn out my release, he rose with his hands on either side of my head, his cock swollen and hard. I wet my lips for it.

Rising, I wrapped my hands around it.

"Hilda, I canno--"

I hushed him by going on my knees before him, then I closed my lips around his bulging tip, eliciting a loud growl from him.

"Hilda," he purred, his hands threading into my hair.

Opening my mouth wider, I took in his length, but still wasn't able to reach the hilt of his cock. Bobbing my head up and down his dick, I lightly grazed my teeth against him. He seemed to love that. Throwing his head back, he expelled a loud moan.

Through the bond, I felt his pleasure, and it fed mine until I was painfully throbbing.

Wanting to assuage my desire, I slid a hand down my core as I sucked him.

My fingers had barely made contact with my clit when he flipped me down on my back, settling between my thighs.

"Only I get to pleasure you, princess," he growled, then thrust into me in one swift movement.

Back instantly arching, I cried out. Vaughn's lips found mine again, and he kissed me for a long moment before starting to move within me.

Withdrawing, he slammed back into me, hitting a spot.

A moan broke out of me and I scoured my fingers down his back, pulling him closer to me.

When I was at the brink, his thrusts became faster, and after a few more thrusts I came, pleasure exploding within me.

Vaughan came soon after, roaring while pumping into me ruthlessly.

After he was spent, he buried his face in the crook of my neck, his lips pressed against my mark. He placed a kiss on my eyelids and then on my nose, before taking my lips.

I soon drifted asleep to his kisses.
