THIRD PERSON ▪︎ POV
Kade rubbed his hand down his face with a sigh of frustration, his body feeling heavy from exhaustion. After another day busy fixing houses for other families within the pack lands, his hands were sore and spotted with calluses from lifting bricks and heavy tools. His muscles ached and he needed a good shower to wash off the dust that clung to his clothes, the smell of sweat and even some spots of blood from small accidents.
Kade was part of a small team of construction wolves who helped to maintain the homes of those living within the packlands. Whether it entailed nailing up pictures for the older folk, or building new houses for the freshly mated families moving in, Kade's days at work were busy, long and tiring. Not that he really complained. It paid well, it gave him purpose around the pack and he'd never been a gym rat so construction kept him in shape. He was tall and broad with thick abdominal muscles, bulging biceps and thighs. His skin was golden from working under the sun, his dirty blonde hair streaked with brighter, golden strands. His eyes were a honey brown, hooded and shadowed by his thick eyelashes. His nose was strong, his lips full, his square jaw dusted with scruffy stubble.
Kade was a good looking dominant werewolf, and not only was he good looking, strong and young, he was also single and a huge topic of interest amongst eligible submissive wolves around the pack. However Kade didn't have time for dating, and even if he did, there was one small, black, fluffy, clawed problem that would forever stop him from finding a life mate. Azure.
Azure was a cat shifter Kade had rescued one night, two years ago. It had been a completely coincidental event that had led the wolf shifter into taking the abandoned kitty home with him. He'd been travelling to a nearby town for building supplies when he found Azure, in his shifted form, hiding behind a dumpster. The cat had matted fur, open wounds along his underbelly and a pitiful look on his face, Kade just didn't have the will power to ignore.
He'd been a hissing little thing even while he was weak and injured back then. Kade had bite marks all along his arms, but eventually he'd managed to help the cat, take him back to the pack, stitch him up and feed him food and water. Azure had refused to shift back into his human form for a week, but he healed, accepted the care given to him and slept inside Kade's home while the other went out to work. Kade hadn't known where Azure came from or how he'd gotten hurt, but he couldn't know or help him until Azure shifted, so they lived that way for a while.
When Azure finally shifted, Kade had come home to find a naked, dark brown skinned boy crouched on his dining table with a ripped box of cereal spilled around his feet, glaring with bright blue eyes right back at him. He was beautiful, slim and lean, with skin like molten chocolate, hair as dark as night and tightly coiled like springs on his head. But those eyes, those cat-like, azure-blue eyes were absolutely gorgeous and Kade felt his attraction to the feline shifter stir.
But Azure was... a handful to say the least. The feisty cat found ways to make Kade's blood pressure spike at least once an hour whenever he was home. After Azure admitted that he was homeless and had been attacked at the shelter he'd been staying at, Kade took pity on him and decided to let the boy stay until he could figure something out. But Azure had no intentions of leaving and it didn't seem like he ever could live independently again.
He was more feral than sane, more cat than human. He pranced around naked, hissed and scratched, was bratty and overall a nuisance to Kade. He destroyed Kade's furniture, ate through his cupboards of food, packaging and all, didn't listen to Kade's rules and even used the bathroom everywhere other than in the actual bathroom. But even still, Kade couldn't ask him to leave. No matter how angry, no matter how frustrated he became, Kade just couldn't say no.
Perhaps that's why things were slowly getting out of control. Because when it came to Azure, he was weak. He didnt know why but the troublesome cat had wound himself around his heart, claws and all. Kade sighed, apprehensive about returning home, not knowing what mess he was going to find. He wanted to shower, eat and fall into bed.
However, the moment Kade opened the front door to his small, wood cabin home and heard the crashes coming from the kitchen, he knew that he would not get his wish. Kade toed off his boots as fast as he could and rushed towards the back of the cabin. His eyes widened in horror at the sight of smashed ceramic plates littering the floors. The cupboards were open, there was cereal everywhere and claw marks along the once varnished countertops.
Kade's blood pressure spiked, his jaw ticked and anger began to bubble up inside him. He clenched his fists, narrowing his eyes on one of the open cupboards. Inside, a black house cat sat on a shelf, glaring back at him with those piercing blue eyes. They held tense eye contact for a second before Azure swiped his paw at a glass cup and sent it flying. It shattered against the countertop, sending glass raining down everywhere.
Kade stood frozen, trying to take deep breaths to calm himself down. His jaw ticked, the vein on the side of his neck throbbing. He looked around at all of the destruction and the more he thought about it, the more riled up he got. The money he spent on his dishware collection. The time it would take to clean up the mess. The new counter tops he'd have to buy and install. Azure had gone too far and Kade was pissed.
"Get down," he finally growled, his voice rough and low, his tone sharp. "Get down and shift, Azure."
The black cat hissed at him, his tail swishing in agitation, clearly not impressed with the request. He elegantly hopped down one shelf, curling up at the back of the cupboard before sending a plate flying. His disobedience made Kade growl even louder and before he knew it, he was storming forward. The bottom of his feet stung as his soles were cut up with glass and ceramic. The shards impaled him uncomfortably but he ignored the pain as he reached into the back of the cupboard and snatched the cat by the scruff of his neck.
Azure let out a screech, flailing about, clawing at Kade's wrist, drawing blood, but Kade didn't let him go. Azure had been getting away with destroying his things for much too long and he'd gone too far this time. He had to do something, Azure had gone unpunished for too long. "I took you in, I nursed you back to health, I fed you, I gave you a bed, a place to stay. Despite your attitude, despite you destroying my shit, I kept you and I took care of you. I don't plan on sending you away, but this has to stop."
Kade stalked into the living room with the screaming cat and slammed the door behind him just in case he broke free and decided to do a runner. "I ask you what's the matter and you don't want to tell me. I try to buy you things, thinking it'll make you happy but you destroy them. I ask you if you're lonely but you don't want to meet the pack. So what do you want, Azure? Make me fucking understand!"
He didn't mean to shout that last request, but he felt himself losing control. He sat heavily on his clawed couch and spread the cat across his thighs. Azure's fur was soft and shiny, his body was lean and small, his tail whipping ferociously. He was still hissing and spitting, but he couldn't claw at Kade anymore. Kade trapped Azure's hind legs between his thighs and held his fore legs clamped together with one, big hand. Then, he spanked the kitty's butt hard.
Azure flinched, his body freezing as the first spank landed just above his tail. He seemed stunned still, before he started protesting even harder, but Kade landed four more harsh blows that had Azure gasping for air. Suddenly, the cat began to grow, changing shape. The fur receded, revealing smooth, chocolate brown skin. Long limbs sprouted from the short, clawed ones and all of a sudden, Kade was spanking a small, writhing man and not a cat.
The rounded ass in his lap, the hard cock pressed against his thigh and the thin wrists he held in his hand made his erection pulse between his legs, a feeling he carefully ignored. Azure looked up at him with wide, furious blue eyes, his wide nose flared, his big, pouty lips parted. "I hate you! Let go of me!"
Kade raised an eyebrow and glared back at the smaller man. "Let go of you? So you can return to destroying my home? No, Azure. Why did you do it?"
Azure hissed in anger, beginning to wriggle over Kade's lap, but Kade smacked the plump ass arched up at him before he could escape. Azure yelled out, kicking his legs in protest. "You're hurting me!"
"It's meant to hurt. You know what else hurts? My fucking heart and my damn wallet because of the stress and destruction you're causing me," Kade grunted, watching the ass in his lap bounce with every connection of his palm. Azure had such a hot little body. Streamlined, curved, lean and tight, covered in soft brown skin. He was so attractive to Kade, and even the trouble he'd caused couldn't dampen that attraction. "Tell me why you destroyed my kitchen."
When Azure didn't answer, Kade continued to spank him until his ass became glossy and even the slightest tint of red began to shine over the dark skin. He didn't count, just kept them up while Azure squirmed and yelled, kicking and bucking. It didn't take much to hold him down, but Kade was becoming increasingly aroused as he punished his naughty kitty. If he wanted to, he could spread those cheeks and take a peek at the hole his swollen cock begged to be inside. But, he didn't. He used the self. control he possessed as a dominant werewolf to control himself.
Eventually, Azure stopped struggling, his fight draining away as he wore himself out. He trembled instead and for the first time in two years, he began to cry. Kade was shocked as he watched Azure drop his head and sob into the couch. He stopped and lay his big hand over Azure's bottom, rubbing gently. "Talk to me."
Azure whimpered and shook his head, but Kade waited patiently, massaging and squeezing, not saying a word as he soothed the man's burning ass. He gave Azure time to compose himself and gather his thoughts. Azure refused to look at him, sniffling and hiccuping with his face down but eventually he spoke quietly. "You're never around."
Kade frowned, not expecting those miserable words from his feisty cat shifter at all. To be honest, Kade thought Azure didn't want him around, judging by how coldly Azure always treated him when they were around each other. He paused, giving Azure his full attention as he tried to work out what Azure was feeling.
"You go to work and you leave me here and it's lonely. I don't want to play with your pack... I want to play with you but you're always busy. Then when you do come you're either tired, grumpy or mad at me." Azure sniffled dejectedly
"I didn't know you felt that way, Azure. But that doesn't excuse you destroying my belongings and ruining the house we live in. I work a lot, I admit that, but when I come home to find your mess, I get frustrated and annoyed," Kade said patiently, running one hand over Azure's kinky hair.
"I don't mean to break them. I feel restless when you're not here and bored and well, when you don't pay attention to me I get angry," he admitted miserably and maybe even with a bit of embarrassment. "You only talk to me when you're growling."
Kade absorbed his words, having no idea that Azure felt this way. If only he'd just spoken up instead of hissing and pushing Kade away, they could've worked on making things better together. The werewolf finally smiled and lifted Azure up, settling the smaller male in his lap. He tilted Azure's head up with one hand while cradling Azure's body with his other. Azure winced as he was sitting on his stinging bottom, but he didn't protest.
"If I cut back on my working hours will that make you happy?"
Azure nodded, avoiding eye contact.
"If I find you something fun to do during the day while I do have to work, will you stop breaking my things?"
Azure hesitated, but eventually nodded again. "You bought me a ball last time. I don't like them, they're boring, that's why I popped it," he admitted and Kade remembered watching Azure sink his fangs into the new ball he'd bought seconds after he handed it over to the angry cat.
"What do you like? I'm a wolf shifter, Azure, you have to talk to me since I don't know what you prefer," Kade sighed. He was uneducated when it came to cat-shifters and they were admittedly out of touch with one another's habits and behaviours.
"I like climbing, and I like yarn and I like bird and mouse toys and I like feathers and dangly things and sparkly things," his eyes lit up as he rambled and Kade felt his heart throb a little in his chest.
"Okay, the next time I'm in town, I'll look out for those things," Kade agreed, reaching up to stroke Azure's head. He looked away bashfully but the purr that vibrated his chest gave him away to liking Kade's touch. He enjoyed it. Kade continued to pet him, rubbing behind his ears, his face and even his stomach while Azure gasped and purred. This was a lot different from all of the other times they'd touched each other, which was mostly when Kade would grab the scruff of Azure's neck and Azure would bite him. This was much nicer.
"Do you want me to pet you more like this?" Kade grinned, laughing as Azure pushed his head into his touch, purring at every touch. The male rolled his body in Kade's lap, panting with hooded eyes as he eagerly nodded and accepted the affection.
"A-all the time," Azure squeaked shamefully. "And... and somewhere else."
"Somewhere else?" Kade asked, raising one eyebrow in confusion. But one look down told him everything he needed to know. Azure was hard, his erection perked up and pointing towards his belly button, stiff and leaking. "Oh... Are you sure? If I touch you like that, things will change between us. Are you okay with that?"
"Things?" Azure asked, blinking wide eyed up at him. He was so cute when he wasn't hissing and clawing like a feral cat.
"I only sexually touch the people I'm dating. If I touch your penis, then that means we're dating. Like boyfriends. Are you okay with that?" Kade asked, running his fingers down Azure's chest, watching goosebumps rise along the path of his touch.
Kade didn't expect Azure to nod so eagerly, but the werecat had this sparkle in his blue eyes as he frantically bobbed his head in the affirmative. "I wanna be your boyfriend. You have to kiss me and touch me and play with me whenever I want."
Kade laughed. "To think you were trying to scratch me to pieces just minutes ago and now you want to be my boyfriend? Crazy cat. But just so you know... I want to be your boyfriend, but we can't until you learn how to behave and be a good kitty," his gaze softened and he leaned in and kissed Azure's plump lips.
