"You asshole! Turn your ass around and go to our mate right now!"
York howled angrily in my head, clawing ravenously at my consciousness as we fought for dominance over my wolf form. Wind blew through my fur as I ran as fast as my paws could take me, but with every step I could feel my heart pulling me back in the opposite direction, the force of it getting stronger as I got farther away. It was painful as hell to keep myself in control in this form when technically my wolf should be, but my cause was much more important than some temporary discomfort.
I knew that if I went back to my Pack House, just the sight of someone else - anyone else - touching my Angel would cause me to leave them in a state that resembled the shredded chicken we make on Taco Tuesdays.
An angry Alpha tearing apart his own pack mates wouldn't go down well with the Council.
"Shut the hell up, York. I'm barely keeping it together as it is without your whining." I retorted with a snarl, forcing myself to keep my guard up in case my ass of a wolf decided to sneak up and snatch back his body. "You know that I wouldn't be able to handle that scene back there."
"That's because you're fucking weak. I, on the other hand, could handle it." Snorted York. I could practically see him rolling his eyes and flexing his hind legs with a that cocky, wolfish grin of his.
I guess that is what happens when someone as stubborn as me is created. I even find a way argue with my wolf, who is technically just an extension of myself. It's sometimes a little bit ridiculous how much we yell at one another, but ultimately I unfortunately need him to survive, so I find a way to put up with his idiocy.
"Your horny ass would just jump on top of him and hump the shit out of him, and I doubt that would help the situation." I snapped back. York simply grumbled inside of our mind, mumbling something to himself before he slunk back into the shadows without another word.
I sighed, happy that he was finally giving up. I thought that he would never the hell shut up.
My nose suddenly tilted into the air as I caught an unfamiliar scent among the trees. I slowed down to a trot, sniffing the area in an effort to find the source. I knew my territory like the back of my hand, and an unfamiliar scent was always considered a threat until found to be otherwise. The musky scent was slightly stale, but it still caused the hairs on my hackles to stand at attention.
There was definitely something fishy going on.
To my dismay, I didn't have anymore time to gather any more information on the suspicious scent, as a moment later a completely different voice invaded my mind through the pack link, disturbing my investigation.
Fuck, I can never even get a second of peace and quiet, can I?
"Alpha!" Squealed a loud, high-pitched voice in my head, making my wince. Benji. "I found a remedy that seems to be working, but it will only last for about two hours at best. You need to get back fast!" I cringed as he finished in his outrageously loud voice, killing a few of my brain cells in the process.
"Fuck Benji, Lower that voice of yours. But thank you, keep him stable. I will be there soon." I could feel York jumping for joy inside of our mind at the mere thought of seeing our mate once again.
I turned around in my spot before taking off once again, my paws leaving distinct prints in the dirt below them as I raced back the way I'd came. The mystery of the weird scent would have to be solved another time. It took me no time to dart back through the trees and dense foliage before I emerged into the backyard of the giant Pack House. Although I'd only been gone a little over an hour, it felt like a lifetime since I'd seen my little mate.
My bones burned in anticipation as I shifted back into my human form, ignoring York's complaints and death threats for me not allowing him to be in control at all during our hiatus. Disregarding the fact that I was as butt naked, I ran through the Pack House until I reached the Alpha Wing, bursting hastily through the door that led to my bedroom.
My eyes flashed a bright gold and my chest heaved at the sight before me. Although Ortiz and Tyrus were nowhere to be seen, Benji was sitting on the edge of my bed as he brushed his fingers across Berlin's soft cheek. His petite form was curled up under my grey duvet, sleeping soundly with his blonde hair pulled back from his face with a hair tie. His pink lips were slight parted and I could hear his steady heartbeat and soft breaths. It was a mesmerizing sight that should only be for my eyes.
"Benji, out." I demanded calmly, not once taking my eyes off of my mate as he slept, his cupid's bow quivering and brow furrowing at something that must be taking place in his dreams.
It was hard to believe that not even two hours ago this little seductive angel was begging me to fuck him into oblivion. Under different circumstances I would have immediately agreed and bent him over right in the middle of the clearing, rutting into him until tears streamed down his beautiful face. However, this was different. He was under the control of his instinctual hormones which left him a slave to his most primal urges and temptations. There was no way that I would allow myself to be weak enough to take advantage of him in such a state. I might be an asshole, but I'm not stupid.
"Yes you are." muttered an annoyed York at my last thought, and I promptly shut him out of my mind as soon as I heard his irritating voice. The last thing I needed was his negativity right now.
I quickly grabbed a shirt and sweatpants from my emergency bedside drawer and threw them on haphazardly, not wanting to make the angel in my bed uncomfortable with my nudity. Registering the sound of the door shutting behind Benji, my tense muscles finally began to unfurl as I took swift steps over to the king sized bed that held my sleeping mate. Upon reaching the edge of my bed I couldn't help myself from inhaling deeply, taking deep breaths to savor Berlin's intoxicatingly sweet scent.
Sweet vanilla with a slight hint of lavender... It set my body on fire, sending shocks of pleasure to the tips of my toes. Although, I was grateful that it was not nearly as hard to keep my composure as when Berlin was practically leaking with pheromones, ones that were specifically engineered to make me lose my composure. Making a mental note to personally thank Benji for allowing me to be close with my mate in a way that was not purely driven by our primitive sex drives, I sat on the edge of my bed, careful to not jostle Berlin too much in his spot.
"Wow..." I whispered quietly to myself, my hand shaking slightly as it floated down to cup Berlin's flushed cheek. I gulped as he let out a soft whimper and leaned his face into the warmth of my palm as he slept, his lips trembling cutely as he did so.
Goddess dammit, it should be illegal to be that fucking adorable.
I took a few more moments to ogle my mate, my thumb brushing against his soft skin. My eyes savored him as they raked down his face. They started at the top of his blonde head before traveling down to his long eyelashes, along the smooth bridge of his cute, upturned nose, before finally lingering down to his perfectly pink, pouty lips that I longed to mine press against.
He truly was Angelic. A work of art.
I raised an eyebrow, pulling my hand away from his soft cheek as Berlin began to stir in his spot, his perfectly groomed eyebrows knitting together as he pressed his lips together with a small, straining sound. A moment later, his almond-shaped eyes fluttered open, small fists rubbing against them to rub the sleep away. He turned his head with a soft yawn, his gaze settling on me. He seemed confused as to where he was and what he was doing there, although I did not have time to explain as he was already attempting to kick off the covers, a horrified look on his face.
"Hey, hey." I said gently, leaning forward to wrap my strong arms around his thin waist to restrict him from leaving the bed. He squirmed in my grasp, trying to push at my arms to get away, no doubt to make a beeline away from me.
But he wasn't getting away on my watch. Not when he could slip back into his heat at any moment.
Hell no.
"Berlin, listen to me. You need to rest. You... can't leave this room for a while." I explained, as the bewildered look on his face told me he was utterly confused and disoriented.
"W-what happened?" he stuttered out, still trying to pry himself from my arms. Although I only tightened my grip in response to his attempts.
"If you calm down, I will explain everything. I do not want to attempt to speak to you while you are trying to bolt out of the door." I said through a clenched jaw, my tone slightly annoyed as I tried to keep him still in my grip. "...Please" I forced myself to tack on at the end, the unfamiliar word twisting foreignly off of my tongue.
It took a moment, but I could finally relax my arms and almost sighed aloud in relief when Berlin nodded, pursing his lips stubbornly. He slumped forward in my arms, breaking free of them before scooting himself back to my press his spine firmly against my headboard, short, creamy legs drawing up to his chest and his arms wrapping around them.
I almost choked, my fingertips tingling dangerously as my large shirt he was wearing slipped down at his shift in position, revealing not only the bottom of the sweet curve of his round ass, but also the tight, pink star between his plump cheeks.
Holy shit...
"Fuck..." York panted out lustfully in our mind, bursting past the barrier that I made to shut him up. With an awkward cough, I pushed him back into the depths of our mind before reluctantly tearing my heated gaze away from the delectable sight.
"Berlin... Put down your legs." I instructed, pressing my fingers against my temples in order to force my horniness to simmer down. If I was forced to keep this up, I don't know how much longer I'd last.
My little Angel instantly paled, his knees flattening onto the duvet within a tenth of a second of the last word I uttered. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding, turning my eyes back to look at him as he trembled, embarrassment painted across his tender features. Although I reached out to comfort him, he flinched back and I immediately leaned back, not wanting to make him more uncomfortable than he already was. Instead, I simply cleared my throat, hoping that if I answered his question fully that it would at least score me a look from him.
"I suppose I will just answer you, then." I breathed in deeply, waiting a moment before continuing. "What you were experiencing was heat. I am not quite sure why it kicked in so quickly..." I trailed off, my brow creasing as my gaze traveled down to Berlin's hips. For the first time, I realized that they looked wider than normal sized hips of males. I would even describe them as... child bearing.
Already? At this point, I was more than confused. It made no sense as to why he would already have the child-bearing capabilities when that was supposed to kick in months after meeting me? I shook my head, adding a second bullet point to my list of things to speak to Benji about. There has to be some kind of medical explanation to all of this.
"...But that is besides the point." I continued, lifting my gaze from his hips, his eyes still firmly intent on studying the patterns of the fabric on the duvet beneath him. "We both know that we are mates. Me, being an Alpha, means that I must have a way to carry on my bloodline. See, because you are a male-"
"I know." he cut me off, lifting his head and flickering his eyes to mine before his cheeks began to burn a bright red and he looked right back down, playing with his thin fingers in his lap. I cleared my throat after a moment of my stunned silence. I not being used to someone speaking over me, and pushed back my stubborn urge to snap back in the asshole-ish manner I usually did.
"I will not take advantage of you. I fought my instincts to bring you here so you'd be safe. Our Pack Doctor, Benji, gave you a medicine that will sate you for a few hours. That is why you are not overcome with lust because of your Heat right now. It's also why you cannot leave the room right now." I finished, waiting stressfully for his reply as I scratched the back of my neck. I wasn't used to feeling nervous, but in that moment I was on edge, hoping that I wouldn't scare him away again.
Berlin raised his head, his delectable lips parting as he looked up at me with an expression that seemed to be a mixture of surprise, gratefulness and a hint of... Happiness?
"Thank you..." he whispered in his adorably high voice. His voice was even higher that Benji's, although to me Berlin's voice was miles more appealing. I could listen to it for years on end if he let me.
He leaned forward suddenly, shifting his position to that he was on his hands and knees before wrapping his arms around my shoulders, squeezing gently before pulling back. It was a very quick but meaningful gesture, and my heart pounded against the confines of my chest as he pulled away, his head once again hanging down as he let out a soft giggle.
Oh Goddess. The sound of his giggle made me want to bottle it up and listen to it forever. It was better than a chorus of bells or even my favorite song.
Damn. I really have it bad.
