LOGINAs soon as Orion opened the door, Kael came running down the hallway. The boy standing outside looked surprised when he saw such a large man answering the door. There was no way the boys Kael had met had missed seeing how much Kael looked like the new pack alpha, but actually standing face-to-face with Orion was probably a little intimidating.“Uh, hi. You’re Orion Blackthorne, right?” the boy asked nervously.Orion folded his arms and nodded. “That’s right. Your last name is Kissel, isn’t it?”The boy nodded. “Yeah. Braylen Kissel. Uh, sir.”Orion smiled and stepped aside to let him come in. “I always liked your dad. He comes from a good family.”Relief immediately appeared on Braylen’s face as he smiled back. “Thanks. I’ll tell him you said that.”Braylen introduced himself to me. He looked like he was around seventeen years old, probably a junior or senior in high school. He was older than Kael, but only by a few years.“Can we go?” Kael asked eagerly.I glanced quietly at Orion, a
Orion sent a text saying that he would come to pick up Kael the following morning so they could start self-defense training. That meant I would have most of the day free, giving me time to look for a car. The rental company had already emailed me another bill for the coming week, and the cost was becoming ridiculous. A small part of me wished I had kept the car Travis gave me, but it was probably better to completely cut that connection. There was no reason to keep dealing with him when I didn’t have to.Not only would owning a car be cheaper, but I also needed one. Kael would be turning fifteen in just a few weeks, and he would want to get his learner’s permit. He definitely couldn’t learn to drive in a rental car. Since we would be staying in Pinecrest Valley for the rest of the summer, maybe even longer, it made sense to handle it as soon as possible.Orion showed up a little after ten the next morning, and Kael was already prepared to leave. In fact, he was almost vibrating with e
When we later pulled apart, both of us were breathing hard and smiling shyly.“I hope that was okay,” I said.Elara touched her lips with a finger and nodded.“Um, yeah. It was okay.”As I slowly backed toward my truck, I asked, “I’ll see you later?”“See you soon, Orion.”The entire drive home was filled with sexual frustration.My cock pressed painfully against my pants. The need only grew stronger after I got home. I had to deal with it. I locked the door and went straight to the bathroom. Elara filled my thoughts as I turned on the shower and took off my clothes.I stepped beneath the hot water and let it pour over my body. It didn’t help at all. All I could think about was Elara. Not the younger Elara I had known years ago, but the beautiful and mature woman she had become. A woman I had never truly been with.Groaning, I wrapped my hand around my hard cock, closed my eyes, and let my imagination take over.In my fantasy, Elara looked up at me with desire shining in her eyes. She
He looked so eager. I remembered being at that age. Not really a child anymore, but not yet a man either. Whenever you saw someone who was bigger, stronger, or better than you, it created a strong desire inside you. You wanted to be better at sports, stronger in general, and a better fighter.That was one reason boys admired action movie heroes, bodybuilders, and professional athletes so much.“I’ll make sure you learn,” I said. “I promise. Jaxon and I will teach you a few things.”Kael nodded so hard it looked like his head might come off.“That would be amazing.”Elara didn’t seem very happy about the idea, but she must have noticed how excited Kael was. She gave me a look that clearly said we would be talking about this later.“What about this?” Jaxon said while looking at his phone.“What if we sell a couple of businesses instead of selling the rental properties? The car wash in Jefferson City and the storage unit complex. You said a year ago that you were tired of dealing with th
Selene clasped her hands together tightly, clearly preparing herself for the insults, accusations, and angry words she expected Elara to throw at her.The muscles in Elara’s jaw tightened as she clenched her teeth.But instead of shouting, she simply nodded once.“Apology accepted, Selene. There are more important things happening right now than anything either of us said or did in the past. I can move past it if you can.”She cleared her throat.“And if you want to get to know your nephew, I’m okay with that too.”Her words were polite and carefully controlled, almost like a politician giving a prepared response.It was obvious she still needed time to heal from the pain.Kael lifted his hand slightly and smiled at Selene.“Uh, hi, Aunt Selene, I guess. I’m Kael.”At first, Selene’s eyes widened.Then she pressed a hand over her mouth as tears filled her eyes.A small sob escaped her before she swallowed back her emotions and gave him a little wave.“Hey, buddy. Umm, it’s nice to off
“Not yet,” I said, “but everything is under control. Are you both ready to leave? I have a meeting at the alpha house, and I think you could spend some time there while I handle it.”Even though I tried hard to hide my emotions, Elara still knew me very well after all these years.Whatever she saw in my face made her eyes narrow slightly.“Yeah. That sounds fine,” she said. “Come on, Kael.”I paid the bill, and then we left.The drive back to my house was mostly quiet.Both Elara and Kael could tell that something important had happened.“Was that guy your brother?” Kael finally asked.Elara turned toward him in the backseat.“Honey, maybe we shouldn’t—”“Elara, it’s okay,” I said.I glanced at Kael through the rearview mirror.“Yeah, he is. Deep down, I think he’s a good guy, but he got mixed up with some bad people. Maybe I can help him. We’ll see.”Kael nodded and leaned back into his seat.When we arrived at the alpha house, I told Kael to go look around.His eyes became huge as h
Kael enjoyed the tour with me alot. While we drove through town, I pointed out different stores, shops, and important places.“That’s the town pool. It only costs five dollars to get in, and you can swim there all day,” I told him. “They also sell good hot dogs at the snack stand.”“Cool. That soun
My son quickly ran down the front steps after Orion. As the two of them walked away beside each other, I almost dropped to the floor just from looking at them together.They looked so much alike. The afternoon sunlight surrounded them, showing off their broad shoulders, their confident walk, and th
“What? You cannot do that. This is my house too. You cannot sell it without asking me first,” Travis said.“Oh, you are wrong, Travis,” I replied calmly. “When we started living together, you moved into my house, not the other way around. You sold your townhouse and came to live in the house that b
He shrugged the way teenagers usually do—a small shoulder movement that somehow seemed to say a lot without using actual words. Not wanting to make things uncomfortable, I quickly changed the subject before the mood of the afternoon got ruined.“Hey, whose turn is it to shoot?” I asked.His eyes li
