STELLA I wake up feeling a little groggy. I stretch a little but stop as pain shoots through my shoulder and I hear his rough voice from behind me. “Try not to move your shoulder too much. It will be sore for a little while as it heals..” “Axel??” I turn carefully to face him “No, I am Wulfric, I am Axel’s wolf.” “W... what did you do?” I ask as fear of what he could have done and will do runs through me. “Like I said, you are mine, and I marked you." “Why?" “Now that you are 18, I couldn’t allow you to walk amongst my unmated males without my mark on you... If I had left you unmarked, the unmated males in my pack would want to claim you for their own. It was bad enough to smell my Beta all over you.” "Did you?...” "No, I did nothing but mark you. I will not take the choice of giving your body to me. I would like you to come to me willingly for that!” I lower my eyes from his, “Am I going to be a wolf now?” “No, my mark will not turn you. To change you, I need to give y
STELLA I run out of the college campus, however; I am not stupid enough to run out of the pack territory again. The last thing I need is for Axel to be mad and come after me again, so I head to the field of wildflowers, lake and waterfall. I find a rock by the lake and sit down and think about how my life has gotten to where it is and when exactly I lost control of it. I tense but smile as I hear a soft growl from behind me. I turn around slowly to come face to face with my white wolf. I hold out my hand and he comes over, moving his head so that I can run my fingers and hands over and through his fur. I whisper. “Hello Wulfric, am I truly your mate?” I don’t really expect him to answer, but he snorts and nods his wolf's head. “But... When I asked you said that the mark was your claim, that you had claimed me as your property, as your slave..." I guess I hit a nerve as he nips at me, growls, turns and then stalks off towards the woods. I watch as he disappears, thinking he will
STELLA Without my reply, he leads us off of the dance floor and we head back to the mansion. As we enter the elevator, he seems to lose the fight he was having with himself. He turns towards me and grabs the back of my neck, pulling me into a hard and dominant kiss, as he then backs me up until my back hits the wall. He runs his other hand up and down my side, sending pleasure in waves through me. As the doors to the elevator open, he wraps his arms around me and pulls, moving us out of the elevator. He stops just past the door and swipes something in the scanner next to the elevator. The door doesn’t close, and the light goes out. He then continued to move us into his bedroom. He deepens his kiss while running his hands slowly all over me. He then pulls back, breathing heavily, his eyes flashing gold. “Stella, please give yourself to me...” A shiver of fear runs through me, but I slowly nod my head. With that as my permission, he then kisses me again as he slowly undoes the zippe
STELLA I woke up later that morning in bed on my own. I stretch, feeling a little achy everywhere, but I actually feel sore between my legs and the muscles of my inner thighs burn. I can’t believe I allowed him to do what he did. My eyes then go wide as my original fear returns. What if he?… What if he now decides to share me? I have no excuse to say ‘No!’ as I am fully his property now. I sigh as I move slowly out of the bed and realise that I don’t have any clothes on or any to change into. I am a little hesitant, but I head into Axel’s closet and pull out one of his shirts. I head into the ensuite and have a hot shower, allowing the hot water to soak into my sore muscles from overnight. I finish in the shower, dry off, put on Axel’s shirt, and make my way into the kitchen. I stop in the doorway and watch as Axel moves around cooking. I stifle a little giggle as he swears and puts his finger into his mouth after burning it on the pan. He turns, looks over at me, and smiles as he
STELLA The next few weeks go by with no problems. Axel had sent Benjamin out of the territory on some business for the pack. I continued to go to college, however; I started wearing the skirts Axel asked me to wear with some new blouses. I was still a little self-conscious of Axel’s mark and how everyone reacted whenever they saw it, so I always made sure that for now, my blouse covered it. After I say goodbye to Sophie, I head back to the packhouse as Axel and I have now been mated for a month. He wants to take me out for dinner and dancing like on our first date. I enter our floor as Axel now insists it is and head for his office as I do every day after college. I go in to say hi, let him know I am back and maybe steal a kiss or two or maybe something more if we have time and we don’t get interrupted. He surprised me the first time he did it and I now know the real reason behind him wanting me to wear skirts or dresses. Now, it had absolutely nothing to do with me becoming a wolf
AXEL These last few weeks with Stella have been amazing. I still have yet to speak properly to Benjamin about Stella being my mate and therefore not a slave or property to be shared. I also sent Nora to another pack hoping she would find her mate or at least someone else to fulfil her needs and fixate on, as I don't need her anymore. Stella might not quite be able to keep up with me yet, but there is definitely nothing better than having her scream my name as she is coming apart from the pleasure I am giving her. I never thought I would find another that made me feel like my chosen did. I ponder this as I look at the invitation sitting in front of me. As soon as it had arrived earlier today, I had already put it on my desk calendar. One of the Alpha's daughters was coming of age. Now it's not uncommon for some Alphas, especially if they only have one daughter and don't have a son to take over the pack to put together an event celebrating their daughter coming of age and hoping to
AXEL I know the moment Stella is back, so once Nora runs out of my office, down the stairs and out of the packhouse I make my way to our room wanting to fix what Nora just did and take her out on our date however Stella is not in our room. I look around and notice that the closet light is on. I enter, look around again, and notice that a few of Stella’s dresses, skirts, and blouses are missing. I smile to myself as I see that all her jeans are still here. So even though she is mad at me, she is still doing what I asked; I close my eyes and feel for our mate bond and smile again at the fact that she is still on the floor. Not that she really had anywhere else she could go as once I had found out that her dad had done a runner, I had allowed one of the warriors whose mate had just given birth to their first pup, the cottage... Her dad was lucky that he didn't know what we were and that he could start the new life he was looking for somewhere else. I felt a little bad for Stella thoug
AXEL Just over a week after Benjamin’s attack on Stella, the gashes were almost completely healed, and I had no choice but to allow her to return to her classes. So as she headed to the college, I headed to my office with one thing on my mind. I had been thinking about it all week and believed that I had come up with the right punishment. Once behind my desk, I open my mind-link. “Hannah, my office now!” I then sit back and wait. Once she enters, I don’t give her a chance to sit down as I growl. “I want the whipping poles placed in the town centre!” I don’t miss her surprise as she says, “But Alpha, we haven’t had a whipping of a pack member for over 300 years!” “Did I stutter Hannah?” “No Alpha! But....” Getting a little annoyed, I threaten her just a little as I say, “Hannah, if the whipping poles are not set up by noon tomorrow ready for Benjamin’s punishment tomorrow afternoon, then you will be joining him strapped to them! Am I understood?” “Yes, Alpha!… Sorry Alpha!”
