Lost Alpha: Collection (bbw werewolf/shifter romance)

by Jessic Ryan

  After several minutes he stood up and screamed at the sky, kicking sand as he thrashed.

  Did nobody care about his feelings? Everything he knew about life had been turned upside down because of a vampire. He had completely lost his homeland because of a vampire. Now, was he going to lose everything else because of a vampire?

  Travis looked around. It was dark on the beach and he was the only one out there. Without hesitation he peeled off his clothes and shifted into his powerful alpha wolf form. He sniffed the air and howled before taking off down the beach, sand flying in the air behind him. He needed this—needed to run and clear his head.

  There were a lot of exciting smells on the beach—it was a late night and there were people out barbequing on their back porches. As he ran, the smells from one house caught his nose and forced him to walk over.

  The back of the house was poorly lit, giving him plenty of darkness to hide in. He was able to walk right up to a back window and peer in on the inhabitants of the house.

  It looked like they were eating a smorgasbord of ribs, brisket and hot links. He could feel his mouth watering as his eyes darted from plate to plate. There was so much succulent meat, enough to fill his belly several times over.

  His eyes drifted from the food to the people. They were a family of five—two adults and three children. There was a small boy and girl as well as an older boy. He couldn’t hear what they were saying, but they appeared to be having a good time together. The father kept playfully pulling the little girl’s ponytail when she wasn’t looking, causing her to spin around and blame her brother for it. The older brother and the mother kept laughing, loving the scene taking place around them.

  God dammit, Travis thought as he watched. They’re really happy. Is this family life?

  He had been miserable in Bowshot, always feeling the pressure of being a beta on his shoulders. The pressure of avenging his pack was even worse, but since he had been living with Paige, he had become more and more relaxed. The stress that he had felt had drifted away as the days and months wore on. Now he was right back where he’d started: stressed and alone.

  I don’t have to be alone, he thought. I can have what these people have if I just go along.

  Was it really worth compromising his principles and dignity, though? He would essentially be selling out.

  Travis turned and trotted away from the house, wanting nothing more than to be home in his beautiful mate’s arms.

  Chapter 5

  Paige woke up with a start as Travis crawled into bed next to her. He was completely naked and as he tried to intertwine one leg with hers she felt the tell-tale scratchiness of sand stuck to his leg.

  “You’ve been out roaming, haven’t you?” she asked, trying to shake the cobwebs of sleep away.

  “Yes,” he said quietly, pulling her in close. “I had to clear my mind.”

  “I haven’t changed my mind,” she said flatly. If he thought he could rub on her and flash his muscles at her to change her mind, he had another think coming.

  “I know. I’ve changed my mind.”

  “What?” she asked, sitting up and flipping her nightstand lamp on.

  “Asher came to see me on the beach after you went inside,” he said, sitting up and looking her in the eyes. “He made a lot of sense, but there was something else tonight that made even more sense.”

  “What was that?”

  “I saw a family eating dinner while I was out running,” he said, pulling her hands into his. “They were so happy it was unbelievable. They really enjoyed one another’s company, like they didn’t need anyone else in the world.”

  “Yeah, that’s a family,” she said, laughing.

  “I realized I could never have that if I rejected this offer. I thought I’d be selling out and compromising some stupid principle if I agreed to it. But I realized that all I’d be compromising was our happiness. I wouldn’t be selling out myself, I’d be selling out us if I refused.”

  Tears started to form in Paige’s eyes. She hadn’t expected Travis to lay it all out like that. He really did care about her—he really did love her.

  “Paige, I want nothing more than to be your mate,” Travis said, resting his forehead against hers. “If that means taking this offer and working with a vampire, then so be it.”

  “I love you,” she said, kissing him gently on the lips.

  “I love you too,” he replied. Suddenly, his quick hands were on her, pulling her nightshirt over her head to reveal her naked breasts. ‘I also want to have a family with you. What better time to start than now?”

  Paige smiled and turned her back to Travis, glancing over her shoulder seductively. “What are you waiting for?”

  Travis was on her quickly, his lips traveling up and down her back and across her shoulders. Finally he stopped at her neck, his tongue darting out as it explored her skin. She took in a deep breath as his teeth sank into the side of her neck, the best love nip she could get.

  Immediately she felt herself growing more and more aroused. There was a tingling in her golden flesh that immediately made her wetter than she had been in a long time.

  She turned back to Travis, her eyes traveling down his perfect, rock-solid body to the pulsing staff that sat between his legs. The veins throbbed and the purple head filled with blood as she took it in one hand and squeezed.

  “Oh, god,” Travis moaned as her hand took a firm grip and began to travel up and down his rigid staff. It was slow at first, but her tempo picked up as Travis’ breathing became heavier and heavier. Soon he was gripping the sheets as her hand pumped his penis hard, pulling the skin tight as she could feel him just on the cusp of orgasm.

  “No,” he said, stopping her hand. “Not like this.”

  “I just want to pleasure you,” she told him, looking into his eyes.

  “The only thing that would please me now is to fill you with my seed,” he said, dead serious.

  She almost giggled at the absurdity of his comment, but she knew he was serious. She wanted a baby as badly as he did and he was ready to give her everything he had.

  “Then take me,” she said, pulling her panties off and winking at the stud next to her.

  * * *

  Travis grabbed Paige by the ankles and pulled her to the side of the bed, where he stood over her, looking down at her beautiful form. There was nothing about this woman that didn’t turn him on, from the tips of her perfectly manicured toes all the way to her full, pouty lips. In between those two areas wasn’t bad either. She had the most amazing, full, bouncy breasts he had ever seen.

  He reached down and grasped each breast in his hands, squeezing them gently as he tried to force the come back down inside himself. Paige had brought him so close to the edge, he knew he would explode the moment he felt her warm, wet folds slide perfectly around his cock.

  She needed to be pleasured as much as he did. Every time he had sex with this beauty he was on a mission to make sure she came just as hard as he did.

  “Please, baby,” she purred. “Take me now.”

  There was no more waiting, he had to have her.

  Travis gripped his thick cock in one hand and began to tease her wet opening with the head, pushing in and out slightly. Finally he parted her swollen lips and slid the length of his shaft into her. Her leg muscles tensed as he entered her and she arched her back on the bed.

  He reached down, wrapping his arms around her legs so that her feet rested comfortably on his shoulders as he stood beside the bed. It was slow at first as he warmed her up, his slow, deliberate movements making Paige moan and squeal softly.

  As he continued, he looked down at her breasts as they rhythmically bounced up and down. He became lost in those wonderful, voluptuous mounds. Without realizing it he began to pick up his pace, his cock thrusting harder and harder into Paige’s moist warmth.

  Her breasts were now swaying fast, bouncing up and down and into one another as he pounded her pussy with all his might.

  “Oh, fu
ck, Travis!” she screamed, trying to sit up but failing. “Fuck, I’m almost there, baby!”

  He could feel her tensing, her hands reaching up and clawing at his own as she arched her back in an extreme manner.

  Finally she screamed and went stiff just as Travis felt the come rushing through his cock. He could feel the flutter in his stomach exploding down into his penis as his hot come shot into Paige’s receptive pussy, filling her to the brim.

  “Oh!” was all he could muster as he threw his head back and closed his eyes. He hadn’t felt an orgasm like this in a long time, not since they’d moved to Florida. It was special, the kind of orgasm you remember for the rest of your life.

  Unfortunately all good things must come to an end. He felt the last droplets leave the head of his cock and he pulled out, looking down at the attractive form of his mate as she lay on the bed.

  “You are the best,” she said, her voice silky and smooth. He could tell she was satisfied, a fact that brought a smile to his face.

  “It takes two,” he said, smiling back at her.

  Chapter 6

  The next day Paige went shopping, trying to give Travis a wide berth as he wrestled with his decision. It had been made, but that didn’t stop him from agonizing over the fact that he was about to make a deal with a vampire, his most hated form of the supernatural.

  Something drew Paige to a row of shops as she was heading back to her car from a hard day of spending money. She had always walked by these shops, but had never stopped to look at what was inside them. Today she knew she had to enter one of them.

  “Can I help you?” the woman behind the counter said as she walked in.

  “I’m just looking,” Paige said, glancing around the store.

  “Are you the mother, or are you buying for a mother-to-be?” the woman asked, walking out from behind the counter and taking Paige’s hand in her own.

  Paige giggled and picked up a toddler dress that sat on the rack next to her, admiring the beautiful green-and-white checkered pattern.

  “Well, I hope to be the mother soon,” she said.

  “You’ve been trying?” the store clerk asked.

  Paige glanced down at her name tag, which read “Ashley”.

  “I have,” Paige said. “No luck so far, though.”

  “I’m sorry to hear that,” Ashley said. She was older than Paige, probably close to her mid-forties, but there was something warm and inviting about the smile on her face. “Have you seen a doctor?”

  “I don’t think that’s it,” Paige said, picking up the cutest pair of overalls she had ever seen. There were khaki colored with a chicken escaping one pocket as a hungry-looking wolf escaped the other. Paige quickly turned, handing Ashley the overalls. “I’d like to buy these.”

  “Well, okay,” Ashley said. “How do you know it’ll be a boy?”

  “I have a feeling,” Paige said.

  “So what is it?” Ashley asked as she rang Paige up. “Why don’t you think you’ve had any luck?”

  “There’s been a lot of stress and indecision lately,” Paige said, pouring her heart out to this nice stranger. “But all of that ended last night. I think we’re ready to move on with our lives.”

  “I had the same problem,” Ashley said, putting the overalls in a bag. “My husband was miserable at his job and we couldn’t have a baby to save our lives. Then one day he just quit his job, just like that. We had no income, no savings, nothing. But you know what we did have? Each other. Somehow we made it work. He was so much happier and he wasn’t out of work long. Soon a friend was offering him a job and before we knew it we were pregnant.”

  “Really?” Paige asked. “My husband is accepting a new job today. I think he’s going to really enjoy it once he loosens up. I’m hoping it’s a new start.”

  “I’m sure it will be,” Ashley said, winking at Paige. “After all, you can’t have pups without tender love and care.”

  “Pups?” Paige asked, giving the woman a bewildered look. “How did you…”

  “Don’t worry about it, Paige,” Ashley said, squeezing her hand. “We take care of our own around here. Welcome to the neighborhood.”

  * * *

  That evening Travis and Paige sat on the back porch, waiting for Asher and Bartoli to make their presence known.

  Just after sundown Travis got an extreme chill and turned to see Bartoli walking onto his deck, alone.

  “Where’s Asher?” Travis asked.

  “He was detained with pack business,” Bartoli said, his voice still as icy as before.

  “I see,” Travis said. “Should we wait?”

  “No need,” Bartoli said. “I can handle this on my own, Mr. Strong. How about that? A man taking a woman’s last name.”

  “I didn’t have a proper one,” Travis growled, not liking the vampire’s insinuation.

  “Of course,” Bartoli said, waving a hand dismissively. “I would have done the same in your situation. I always thought it was silly that werewolves named themselves after their pack anyway. How can you integrate into mainstream culture if everyone is named Green Fields or Purple Sky?”

  “He has a point,” Paige said.

  Travis shot her a look—she was feeling spunky after last night’s bedroom adventure. Travis made a mental note that he would have to give it to her even harder later.

  “Well, come out with it,” Bartoli said, standing over Travis. “What will it be?”

  “I need you to answer a question first,” Travis said.

  “I don’t remember this being part of the deal, but I will humor you.”

  “Are we working together or am I working for you?” Travis asked, narrowing his eyes as he stood up to face the vampire on an even footing.

  “Does it matter?” Bartoli asked. “Either way you get to stay here and have your babies. That’s what you want, isn’t it?”

  “Yes. But I won’t spend the rest of my life taking orders from a bloodsucker.”

  Bartoli looked away and flipped his hand dismissively again. “You werewolves are all the same, so full of pride. You’ve never worked with me. You have no idea what I’m like.”

  “So we’re working together?”

  “Is that what you want to hear? Will it make you feel better? Yes, we are working together. I have my own men and you have yours. Our relationship is one that is mutually beneficial.”

  “Good,” Travis said, breathing a sigh of relief.

  “We’re not all greedy bloodsuckers out to drain everyone of their money and blood. That’s bad business.”

  “I agree.

  “I have no reason to stay,” Bartoli said, turning to walk away from them. “Asher will contact you with more details about your new assignment and what is expected of you.”

  “Very well.”

  Bartoli continued to smoothly walk away before stopping and turning back towards Travis. “Just for the record, I’ve always thought Victor Dance was a prick.”

  “Good to know,” Travis said, chuckling.

  “Good day,” Bartoli replied, then disappeared into the shadows.

  “That was surprisingly easy,” Paige said, shaking her head.

  “It was wasn’t it?” Travis asked. “I don’t trust the bastard at all, but you have to go along to get along.”

  “Where did you hear that?”

  “It’s an old saying. Want to hear another one?”

  “Sure,” Paige said, leaning forward expectantly.

  “It goes something like: get your ass in the bedroom and get your clothes off, because it’s time to make a baby,” Travis told her, barely able to get the words out as he started laughing.

  “I like that saying,” Paige replied, standing up quickly and rushing into the house.

  Life is good, Travis thought as he followed her in. It works out better when you do things for your family rather than yourself.

  Travis knew he would never put himself in front of his family again. This was what he was meant to do with his life—have a
family with the woman he loved.
