Lexia’s younger sister got the werewolf gene—she did not. She has up until her twenty-fifth birthday for freedom before the Alpha of her region assigns her to a werewolf husband. Once assigned, she must marry him. However, this group of werewolves rather that she samples all of them before she chooses. With all of them itching to claim her as their own through heart-stopping sex, will she be able to survive—with both body and heart intact—beyond her last encounter? One of five of the “Claimed By...” series and part of the Sexy Shifters World.
The four men all stood around Rae Sewell, the Alpha of Eastern Canada, waiting for him to speak. Or rather come up with another decision.
“I don’t know why you are all still here. What I said was final.” He took a picture out from his pocket, gave it a look of disgust then threw it onto the floor. “You’re all going to have to come up with a way to decide who will be Ms. Ewan’s mate in the end. Don’t think you’ll get another answer out of me—this is absolute.”
“But are you sure that there is no other alternative? I mean, what happens to the reminding three of us?”
Rae Sewell looked over at the youngest man with a small smile.
“You’ll find out at the end what happens to all of you—chosen or not. Now leave me before Ms. Ewan comes. I have to prepare my mind for the inconvenience.”
All of the men left the room quietly. There was no way to fight the world of an Alpha—no matter how unreasonable his verdict seemed.
“I want to fight him!”
Lexia Ewan came out of the meeting with the Alpha of Eastern Canada still fuming. She voiced her displeasure immediately after he had given her his verdict. He signalled security to drag her down from the penthouse and out into the parking lot the moment after she had closed her mouth.
She rolled her eyes and got into her car. Expecting too much from the gruff gray haired man was her mistake. Alpha Rae Sewell barely saw female visitors so Lexia couldn’t even be allowed on his front porch without a good reason.
And a good reason she had.
As a twenty-five year old woman of werewolf ancestry, she had been passed over for the werewolf gene—her younger sister had gotten it instead of her.
“I thought that was going to be the end of things. Now what I’m I going through?” she asked aloud.
She had been ready to live her live independently from the rules of the pack and her strict law abiding parents. She thought herself as almost... human. Or the closest thing to being human.
But that was because she never knew the small print.
In actuality, without turning into a werewolf, she was bound by werewolf laws to make one with whoever her Alpha commanded her to mate with.
“I ordered contact with four single werewolves instead of just one,” Rae said in his infamously bored manner. “There are four single werewolf men in your age range and you’re the only of age female in this region. Just choose amongst yourselves.”
She laughed for a good two minutes at his words but his bodyguards had moved closer to him just in case her laughter turned to anger—which it did.
“I don’t want to be anyone’s mate at all! What do you mean, ‘choose amongst yourselves?’ I have to live with one of these guys for the rest of my life! At least pretend that you put some thought into this!”
That is when she had been thrown out, her kicking and screaming lessened by the sheer force of the bodyguard’s hold on her. Now in her car, she had no one to listen to her anger but herself. She pulled out of the driveway and sped off in the direction of home.
It’s just my luck that I have to deal with an asshole.
She sighed. The Alpha had been changed a two weeks after her birthday. Mark Paul, the previous Alpha had been easier to work with and clear cut. However, he had died from old age. His replacement had a reputation of being unconventional.
This isn’t unconventional. This is insane.
She slapped the steering wheel with her hand. Somehow she knew that this wouldn’t be the last problem that she would have with the Alpha.
“What the hell!”
She turned into another lane and almost slammed into a car. Not her fault though, the car in the lane beside her was swerving from left to right.
“What is this fool, doing?”
She tried to enter another lane to get away from the crazy driver but she was followed.
“Is this moron completely crazy?!”
She slapped the steering wheel with her hand again from frustration. Finally, he stopped serving from side to side and put on a signal to enter her lane. She got a good look at the driver as he passed. He looked around her age but from his driving he was most likely younger. Also blonde and, from what she could see, slightly good looking.
She made way for him to come into lane but he stalled for a bit before driving inside. Ah, the cute ones are always insane. There were about five people behind her giving him the finger and her as well. She could hear swearing from people all around her.
“Ah, I’m already dealing with an extreme day. I can’t drive like this.”
At the most opportune moment, she drove over to the side of the road. She turned off her engine and climbed through over to the passenger’s seat and out the door. Once she had safely reached the grassy area, she sank down onto her knees.
“I don’t want a mate. I want my freedom,” she said aloud. She held herself by the arms to keep calm.
“Are you going to be okay, Ms...?”
Lexia couldn’t believe her eyes as she looked up in front of her. It was the blonde haired driver from the road.
“No, I mean yes, I’m okay. So you should just go on your way.” And not drive near me anymore. Though the blonde looked more mature than she had first pegged him for—and more attractive as well—she wanted to be left in peace.
“I don’t think so...” he continued. He bent down so that he was right beside her. “I don’t think an upset woman should ever be left alone.”
She looked over at him and let herself think quietly.
“If you don’t leave me alone in the next thirty seconds, I’m going to call the police,” she finally said.
He smiled instead of taking his leave. His smile is what gave his face an innocent glow. It made him look like he never had to suffer a day in his life. He didn’t seem like someone whom she would be able to relate to now that she was in werewolf bondage. He placed a light hand on her wrist, she shook it off.
“Can’t you leave—?”
“Okay enough games, darling. I’m going to tell you what’s going to happen in the next thirty seconds. Someone is going to come out of my car and go into yours successfully taking it away so I can take you home in my car and pleasure you until you can’t stand.”
Lexia didn’t give herself time to reply. She got up quick, turning to get into her car. She climbed quickly through the passenger’s seat and closed the door behind her. She reached around to lock the door but it was already locked—all of the doors were.
She knew that her car didn’t lock automatically though.
But his did.
The stranger had entered the car with a smile, sitting in the driver’s seat.
“You should put on your seatbelt darling.”
“You should let me out of this car!”
“Darling, don’t make this a struggle. I just have to make one call to the Alpha to get you and your family disbarred from the pack. And I really wouldn’t want to have to get such a pretty woman kicked out—especially, when we could be mates.”
Lexia started to shake from anger. She did not want to be one of those werewolf women stuck at home just taking care of babies. No matter how many threats he threw out at her, she still had the final say in the end.
“You want to be my mate? Well, you better stop with the threats now,” she said. He smiled, reaching over to put the seat belt on her and made sure to brush against her breasts. She shivered from his touch. Her reaction his first touch was the first taste of how her body would respond during others. Not that she wanted more of them to occur... However, the light material on her body didn’t help her cause.
His hungry gaze traveled over her like she was wearing nothing at all.
“Just what did the Alpha say you would be doing with me?”
The blonde looked over at her with a smile that was all-California.
“Anything that you want me to do and more...” His hand traveled from her knee up to her thighs as he switched gears. Lexia raised her brow before putting her hand over his and bringing his hand even further up her thigh in a challenge.
“And have you ever thought that you wouldn’t be ready for everything that I want to do? You might not be.”
He switched into another lane, driving fast. Lexia rolled her eyes even though her heart was slamming against her ribcages. His hand was stuck in mid move, so close to the place that was begging for a male touch.
“I’m more than ready for what you want, darling. I just want you to beg for it. I’m not the kind of guy who gives it up to a girl so easily.”
“Is cockiness a natural werewolf trait or did you pick that up from overblown compliments?”
“I don’t have to be cocky to know that I could please you. But if you don’t think that I’m man enough for you then I could show you how much of a man I am.”
With one hand he started to unbutton his shirt from the bottom. His skin was pale but lightly covered with blonde hairs. There was no trace of his baby face in the hard build of his muscular body. Lexia tried to remove her eyes from his body but she couldn’t. Instead she tried to distance herself from the wetness in panties at her potential mate through words.
“Have you met the other four men or is it going to be a blind meeting for all of us?”
“I’m not bringing you over to them. I’m going to have you for myself tonight, tomorrow and you can decide what happens after that...”
“I can decide—”
“But not when we are in the bedroom. As my mate, you should take directions from me. Just lie down and try to not lose your mind.”
Too late, I’ve already lost my mind. Lexia rolled her eyes.
“If you want to be a true mate you should have just waited for me to come to you instead of taking me on the street,” Lexia reasoned. “There might be more to this but I don’t care to listen. When it comes to my future partner, I know that I deserve a choice.”
At a red light, the blonde man looked over at her, grabbing her hand in his.
“No one said that you wouldn’t get a choice, Lexia. There are four of us after all. So all you have to do is choose me. The name is Austin Gerald by the way. No tears or pain. Well, maybe pain if you’re into that.”
Lexia took her hand from out of Austin’s grasp or rather he let her hand go. She knew now that she was completely damned. Her genes had set her on the path to werewolf breeder.
And now she would have to share her bed with someone who wasn’t even human.
She looked over at his open shirt and almost creamed her panties again.
Then again, there are four of them waiting for my touch. There are worse things in life than that. I might as well cut my losses.
Austin couldn’t believe that he had first pick of Lexia. He had been nominated to get her first by one of four other men. Though he was the youngest, everyone had agreed with the decision in their own distracted way. Not that he was in anyway, comfortable with the situation. He had felt unsettled the moment Alpha Sewell made his offhanded decision.
“Where are we going?”
He looked over at Lexia, she had been yawning for the past hour. But he could tell that she was pretending to be bored. Her whole body was tensed up, light black hairs standing up on her dark brown skin.
“You’ll know when we get there.”
She turned to look outside. Though she had said everything that he could to her at the moment, he kept turning back to see her reaction. However, Lexia didn’t talk much for the rest of the ride. He figured that she wanted to get herself mentally prepared for whatever was about to happen next.
The material of his open shirt hung loosely off his body as he drove. If she was thinking that something was going to happen then she was correct. He turned the car into the wood trail that lead to the mansion. After an hour or more of driving out of the city and into the woods, he parked in front of a large mansion.
Lexia held her tongue for the rest of the ride, something that she wasn’t use to. She watched as Austin walked to her side of the car and opened the door. However, as she tried to get out her legs stopped working. She took a deep sniff of the air and understood why her body was malfunctioning. Though she would never be able to transform into a werewolf, her sense of smell was heightened—especially when around a male werewolf. And Austin’s scent of arousal was sending shivers down her spine.
Stupid mutinous body.
“Are you okay to walk, darling?”
He reached down to help her and she fell against him. His shirt was open so she leaned against his body. Her head came up to his chest. Being so physically close to him was the last thing that she wanted.
But being even closer wouldn’t do any harm—
“Just get on.” He had positioned her arms around his neck and bent down.
“Aren’t you afraid that I might choke you to death?”
“I’m kind of curious to see if you would try.” He put his hands underneath her body, grazing his hands on her ass. “Hold on, Lexia.” Her body was on fire, and not just because his temperature was warmer than normal. He held her tight but that didn’t stop his hands from traveling up and down her thighs.
He opened the door, making sure that he was still holding onto her tight as he closed it behind himself with a foot.
“Now upstairs or downstairs or right here?” he asked.
Lexia scoffed. “Just let me off right here.”
The moment the balls of her feet hit the floor, she was breathing in Austin’s scent as he held her up against the wall in a kiss. It happened so quickly that Lexia forgot where she was... and her hesitation. She could only feel. His tongue entering her mouth playing with hers... The heat pooling in between her legs as grinded his cock against her pussy... Anger at their clothing keeping her from being even closer... He ran his tongue down her chest to the tip of her nipple and bite softly.
The pain was slight but enough to wake her up.
“Bad wolf! Put me down right now!”
Austin laughed at her words but did as she asked. Lexia tried to straighten her clothing but she couldn’t she looked completely the part of someone who stopped mid-romp and a greater part of her wanted to still be in entangled in Austin’s arms.
Austin put his pants back in his jean pockets, showcasing the erection in his slim with his movement. He gave her a contemplating look.
“You might have told me to put me down but your scent tells a different story. So can you make your mind up before I go crazy here?”
“There’s one of four of you. When I start this I’ll end up being some werewolf’s baby machine. I just want to know what I’m in for.”
“Having you choose a female choose in this scenario instead of an Alpha is actually unheard of so all of us were a little stoked.” Austin walked up to her slowly so she wouldn’t back away. He held her face in his hands. “It’s your decision yes, but we wanted to make sure that you had fun sampling everything before having to become a baby making machine. I just want two by the way.”
“I get to have my fun?” Austin nodded in reply. “Then put on a blindfold.”
“What?”
His hands dropped to the sides as he looked at her incredulously.
“I have to be the one with a blindfold on?”
“Yes, just bring one out so all the fun can get restarted.” She smiled at his turned back as he left. Quickly, she took off her clothing and shoes, leaving her barefoot in her underwear. He came back as fast as he could with a black fold piece of ripped fabric then stopped right in front of her the moment that he realized that all of her clothing was on the floor.
“God you’re gorgeous, darling. I won’t be able to do anything blind folded from this inspiration.”
“Stop with the sweet talk, your already getting some... if you can find me.”
She walked over and took the blind fold from his hands. He bent down so that she would have access to his face but she attached the blindfold to his nose instead.
“Since this is my last chance for some kind of retaliation you have to put the blindfold on this whole time. No cheating. And count to a thousand.”
“So you really don’t want me to find you?” Austin said with a sigh.
“No, I don’t know. Maybe I want to know how just how much you want to find me...” Lexia reached behind herself and undid her bra. The material didn’t even hit the ground before Austin took her dark nipples into his mouth, licking and nibbling until pulled herself forcibly away from him.
“What’s more important—oxygen or licking me?”
“Licking you of course.” Austin reached in for another round but she evaded him.
“Fine so go over to the wall and start counting.”
He raised a brow with an impatient look on his face.
“Fine so go over to the wall and start counting... now.”
He walked over slowly.
“You might want to be nice while you can so that I’ll take it easy when I find you or—”
His words cut off at the feel of Lexia’s hands on his stomach from behind him. She unbuttoned his jeans, pushing back the material of his boxer shorts. Taking his long cock in her hands she stroked him slowly, stopping every time he leaned into her caress, only to start again.
“Your quieter than I expected and more... talented as well.”
“That was your treat for not cheating. Be sure that there’s more of that in store. Catch me Austin.” She moved away from him and into further into the mansion.
“1...2...3...”
He started counting quickly causing Lexia to rush her movements.
In front of her she saw a large well-lit kitchen and a backdoor or she could take the corridor down and explore the rest of the house. She ignored the rumbling in her stomach and went down the corridor.
There were multiple rooms. Most of them empty as a quick opening of them revealed. Austin didn’t seem to like decorating.
No it’s more than that.
The house seemed like it wasn’t lived in.
“800...801...!”
Lexia could hear Austin’s voice echo. He had been counting even faster than she expected. In these rooms she could be found out for sure. She backtracked as fast as she could back to the kitchen and then out the back door as more quiet than a mouse. Years of strict parenting had taught her a trick or two about escaping a house unnoticed. Once she was in the backyard, she was overwhelmed. There were abundant acres of green forest without any neighbours to be seen for miles upon miles. They were completely isolated.
“989...990..!”
Austin’s counting came with the breeze. She didn’t think that he moved but the echo came from the empty mansion. Lexia moved quickly into the forest, running like she use to do with her sister before everything got so complicated.
Being a werewolf didn’t mean being a part of a pack, answering to the higher ups, and had nothing to do with how her DNA was constructed or what it lacked. She felt like one even if she would never turn into one.
I’ll just have to figure out how to be one on my own terms.
She had reached a cliff ending her run; she lay down on her stomach in the lush full grass.
“You should be comfortable.”
She turned over to see Austin above her, blindfold off, body unclothed. She looked downer south and watched with every passing moment as he matured.
“How did you know that I’d be out here?”
“Whether you can Turn or not, you’re still a wolf. You crave the forest as much as I do.”
He lifted her up off of the ground and into his arms. Lexia held onto him by the shoulders as he set a thick blanket down and then set her down. He bent down to position himself over her body, growing cock waiting at the base of her bottom. She looked up at him timidly.
“Where did all the fire go now?” Austin asked with a smile. “Don’t turn into a little puppy now when it’s getting good.” He reached down and tore a long piece of the fabric like it was nothing.
“Fine but you still have to play by my rules—”
Austin tied her wrists above her head with the fabric and held them in place with his hand. Another hand traveled the length of her body until he ripped off her underwear and left it in pieces beside her now trembling lower body.
“I guess your leading then?” He nodded as he now held his cock in front of her pussy, all she needed to arch up and he would be inside her.
“If you’re not ready in any way stop me now before—”
Lexia arched up inside of him, gasping as his cock entered her. He reached down and entered her further with a groan. He held her down by the arms as he pumped inside of her. She tried to arch her body higher so that she would be able to take even more of him in but he held her down.
“Patience, darling, we’ll get there soon.”
He adjusted himself as his thrusting picked up speed. His body was pounding at the base of her clit ever time he brought his cock back into her pussy. She was tightening around him with every thrust and fighting against his hold on her hands. She wanted to pull his hair, scratch him, anything that would allow her to be deeper inside of him.
“Austin please just fuck me harder...”
He groaned from the raw intensity of her words, a rumbling from deep inside his chest. Though he had opened his mouth to speak, in the fury of their movements his words sounded barely human.
“Austin fuck me like if I was your mate. Don’t hold back!”
He repositioned her so that she was wrapped around his body with himself on bended knees. He brought her up and back down on his body, on pure werewolf strength as her clit was hit with wave over wave of full contact with his body while her pussy took his cock in full. She was gasping so hard from the building pleasure that she could hardly speak but—
“Fuck me... claim me...”
Her words were barely registered by his brain but he could more than recognize her scent. It wasn’t only of a werewolf female in mating but one that wanted to be claimed.
He laid her back down on the floor, still buried deep within her as he released her arms. She brought him in for a deep kiss and could feel the rumble in his chest. His need to let go. She ran her hands down his back and pulled him down to her body so that they were one as he continued to thrust.
One more, just one, I’m almost. Oh God—oh God!
Lexia was over the edge, letting out a noise into the night that was part moan-part howl.
Every single vibration of pleasure uttered in that noise. He followed with his own strong howl.
It was followed by another one—an answer in reply.
Austin looked down at Lexia but she was looking back at him in panic.
Both of them looked behind themselves.
“You’re on my time now.”
