Wolfe's Den (Wolfe Creek #1)

by C. M. Steele

  “I’ll talk to you later, and give you a proper introduction to my missus once you’re feeling better and get a shave. She can’t see you looking like some scary beast,” I teased.

  “You better, you scruffy pup.”

  I left the hospital into the darkness in search of my mate. I could smell her, but it seemed she was in a playful mood tonight.

  I followed her scent into the nearby woods. If she thought she could hide from me she was wrong. I worshipped her scent, and even with her ability to block her thoughts from me now, I could still feel her.

  Bad Cat. Just wait until I get you, my mate. You’ll be in trouble.

  She just giggled.

  Big mistake.

  I pounced on my bride and she gave a slight bark before I bit down on her back and pushed my cock into her from behind. I fucked my sexy wolf over the edge of the pond, the moonlight illuminating her hazel eyes in the reflection.

  I howled as I rutted into her furry bottom. As much fun as fucking her like this, I preferred her womanly curves.

  Shift, love.

  We do whatever the Alpha says.

  She pulled away from me and ran along the edge of the pond before shifting and jumping in. I snarled and gave chase, shifted and joined her naked ass into the cold water. She laughed as she rushed out of the other side and laid down, looking up at the stars. Her chest heaving as the water glistened off her round breasts.

  “I’m going to spank you for that woman. You think now that you can shift that I’m going to let you get away with shit like this. You’re lucky I’m always horny for you because that water was fucking cold, and my dick was about to go into full hiding, but I’ve got a much better way of warming him back up to full staff. Sit up, Cat,” I growled as I eyed her mouth.

  “Yes, Alpha,” she agreed. I walked the rest of the way up to her and pushed my way through her parted lips. She sucked my cock down past her tonsils and I was about to shoot off right then and there. She started to pant in hungry heat, so I pulled my stiffened length out of her swollen lips. Kneeling, I pushed her all the way to the soft grass and kissed her mouth.

  I love you, my Cat.

  I love you, my Hunter.

  Getting into position I parted her thighs and pushed my way in. She felt wonderful. Her pussy sucked me in and squeezed as her orgasm built up to her peak.

  She let out a sexy cry as she came on my cock, clawing at my back in the process. I groaned as I pulled her mouth to mine and pumped my cum into her sweet cunt.

  We laid there until we both chilled, then got dressed and sat under the moon. In the past month, this had become our special place. It was near the hospital but secluded enough that no one saw my wife naked.

  We found this place by accident after I got out of the hospital. It was two days after the incident when she wanted to take a walk with me. I wanted to show her that I was just fine and that I was in full form and took her down right at the embankment. Ever since then, we made it our spot.

  We came here once a week to the Lakeland Prairie hospital to check on Creed’s recovery. He’d been in a coma for the past month after being shot in the head. I was so grateful that he finally woke up this morning. It was touch and go every day, and my wife was hurting because she felt it was her fault. Of course it wasn’t, but it still got to her.

  “So sweetheart, how are you feeling?”

  “I’m feeling perfect, Hunter. Everything is just right. You’re healthy and back to normal, Creed is going to live, and I’m expecting. It’s wonderful.”

  “Expecting?”

  “Oh, did I forget to mention it?”

  “Damn, was I too rough with you right now? Should you be shifting?”

  “Relax, Hunter. I’ve already seen a specialist about it. Soon my body won’t shift at all until the pups are born. Right now the babe is too small to know.”

  “Fuck, you’re right. It’s wonderful.”

  The following day we came back to the hospital to check on Creed and his recovery. Gage came with us for the trip. He felt Creed saved his life that day. When he entered the house, Creed pushed my little bro out of the way.

  “Hey old man, you’re looking good today,” I cheered as we entered the room.

  Creed was sitting up in his bed with a small knowing smile when he saw my lovely Cat.

  “I was told I couldn’t meet your enchanting mate until I wasn’t looking like an animal,” he mocked.

  “You didn’t?!” she gasped at me. I gave her a shrug before snarling at Creed. The old man was looking to get me in trouble with her.

  “It’s okay, Catherine. Come here so I can see you better,” he murmured like the big bad wolf.

  “Please, you old craggy man,” Maggie chuckled as she walked in behind us with a book in her hands. “Don’t listen to that old man, he’s getting strange in his old age.”

  “Thanks, love. Was it where I said it would be?”

  “Yes, it was,” she said with a smile then handed Creed the massive black book with some writing on the cover that I couldn’t make out.”

  “For the Alpha. All the things you need to know about your human mate,” Gage read the indecipherable text.

  Both Creed and Maggie looked at Gage with a giant grin.

  “It seems I’ve found my new historian,” Creed said with a smirk as he looked at Gage.

  “You can read this, bro?” I asked my brother, pointing at the book cover.

  “Yeah, you can’t?”

  “No, I can’t. How am I supposed to know what it says?”

  “Gage can read it to you.”

  “Care for any bedtime stories, Cat?” he suggested to my wife. I growled at him.

  “Yes, but my husband is the only one I allow near my bed.”

  “Damn right,” I roared as I wrapped my arms around my mate and my unborn pup.

  “Now that we got the historian, what about the Beta?” Creed asked.

  “I don’t know yet. A sign will bring him to me on the next full moon.” I was afraid to find out who the next Beta would be because no one could be trusted as far as I could toss them. Granted there was Gage, Erik, and Chloe that I could trust, but Gage was the historian, Chloe was a female, and Erik was related to Rocky.

  “There’s one in four weeks,” Cat added. We all looked at her forgetting that she was now just like us. “What are you all looking at? Like I wouldn’t know. Even us lowly humans know about the actual moon cycles.” She rolled her eyes at us.

  Chapter 10—Catherine

  “Gage, quit fucking with us and start reading it. We need answers,” I barked and glared at him. Hunter just looked at me like I was losing my mind, but this baby made me sick all morning, and I wasn’t in the mood to play around.

  “I feel for you, Hunter, so I’m going to get straight to it,” Gage laughed. “A lot of the book is what you already know. You two can hear and talk to each other, and you feel each other’s emotions.”

  “You’ve been reading this book for two weeks and that’s all you got?” I couldn’t control my temper. Lately I was either in heat, pissed off, or crying.

  “Damn, it’s not all, but let me get there before you bite my hand off. You know that’s one of the side effects of carrying the Alpha’s pups—irritability. Before you snap, it’s true. It’s because you’re carrying strong pups inside, and they believe that it was because the pups had strong, dominant attitudes.”

  “That explains her moods. What else is there?” Hunter asked.

  “You two were wondering about the shifting so soon, when it took our ancestor until the pups’ birth. It said that just the teeth appear for marking your mate, and the reason you shifted so soon was because your mate was in danger. Our ancestors weren’t in danger until after the birth. There were other human mates that shifted as soon as you did and for some others it took longer. There are always threats toward the Alphas, so their mates have to be ready to attack like you did, Cat. Instinct took over when you went after Rocky. It was badass and all natural
.”

  “Thanks, love. You were badass,” Hunter said as I sat on his lap.

  “Okay let me finish before you two nuts go back to fucking,” he snorted and shook his head.

  “Well, hurry your ass up,” I grouched. I was horny.

  “She needs the ‘d’, doesn’t she?”

  Hunter gave him a nod and wink before he said, “I did have to work all day.” Then my mate turned to me and gave me a naughty smirk. I’ll fuck that attitude out of you, my love. I’m sorry you’ve been neglected today.

  Instantly my panties moistened, and I wanted Gage to get on with it.

  “Get on with it, Gage,” Hunter growled as he sniffed my heat.

  Gage just laughed before he continued, “Your pups will be normal shifters, and one of them will eventually be the Alpha. Is there anything you want to know?”

  “Yes, will we always be this horny for each other?” Hunter asked almost in pain.

  “Why, bro? Is your dick sore?” Gage pestered his brother.

  “Haha! Just wait until you find your mate. We’ll see how much reading you’ll get done.”

  “I’ve got another year before I become old enough for my mate. Truthfully, I can’t wait for it. You two look really happy. To answer your question, no. Because you two can sense each other, the passion will build anytime one of you is in the mood.”

  I blushed at his words because I was feeling needy right now, and I could feel Hunter’s stiff cock pressing against my ass. I moaned a little, and Gage’s face flushed with humor.

  “We can continue this tomorrow when you two can think straight enough and have more questions,” he teased before getting ready to go. “Better yet, I should meet with each of you individually that way you’ll be less tempted to mate,” he joked before I growled at him as he closed the door.

  “Now that we’re alone, what would you like to do, my wife?” Hunter murmured against my jaw as he placed tiny kisses on it.

  “You know what I would like,” I purred in his ear. I was already shaking with lust.

  “I love you, Cat. I love the way you purr, even though you’re part wolf now.”

  “Well, I don’t have a tail to wag right now,” I teased as rubbed my ass on his throbbing cock.

  “You’re bouncing that bottom nicely enough,” he rumbled.

  Chapter 11—Hunter

  Due to the uproar with Rocky we delayed the opening of the resort. It opened two weeks ago and had been a complete success. After thorough background checks and serious interviews, we managed to hire both humans and shifters. There were three new shifters from Redding that came down for the jobs. Creed recommended them, and it was a big reason I hired them.

  The humans were all older and were left with duties that limited the contact with the shifter employees as often as possible. It was obvious to many that we all had bright, vivid eye colors, but most attributed it to our tribe of villagers, and our marriages to our neighbors. My wife was the manager of all of them since she knew how to deal with them. I still frankly, wasn’t a personable being. All I wanted was to be with my wife, but I needed to run the lands and the property and handle the pack members. We, for the most part, lived a peaceful life. Since sex wasn’t a temptation, affairs didn’t happen. Although I didn’t like the way some of the human men looked at my wife.

  “So Chloe, how’s it going this morning?” I whispered as she stepped beside me. She smelled differently today. I didn’t know what it was, but I had a feeling the full moon had something to do with it. She was in heat, although I don’t think she knew it yet. It was a very faint scent that no one else but her mate would know, but as the Alpha my senses were enhanced.

  “It’s great today. I’m hoping we don’t get any nuts visiting. The unmated all have the evening off. I’m actually about to leave, too. Although, I doubt I will find my mate any time soon.”

  “Don’t seem upset, Chloe. You’ll find your mate. You’re still pretty young”

  “Compared to you, but us females mate much sooner than twenty-four,” she complained.

  “I know you females mate as early as eighteen, but I have a feeling it won’t be much longer. It’s just hard to find someone who’s at your level. You’re smart, strong, and beautiful. There aren’t many that could match you and two of us are your siblings.”

  “Thanks, Hunter.” I gave her another squeeze before we were interrupted by one of my guests.

  “Excuse me. I hate to interrupt such an intimate moment, but I’m looking for Catherine Kinney,” the woman said in a condescending tone. I looked at her and knew immediately that this horrible woman in front of me was Cat’s mother.

  Babe, stay in the office for me. I almost pleaded.

  Why?

  Damn it, woman, keep your ass in the office.

  “May I ask what you need to see Catherine Grey about?”

  “I’m not asking for Miss Grey. I’m looking for my daughter. She supposedly got a job here, but I guess she just lied,” she remarked with venom. I was barely holding my wolf in when she added, “There you are. I thought you lied about working here.” She approached my wife, then busted out in outrage. “You’re pregnant!? Are you fucking stupid? I told you to keep your legs closed and end all of your affairs. We’re going to be a disgrace!” she bemoaned.

  My eyes shifted, and I could feel my canines lengthening. I wanted to break her neck on the spot, but then I heard a gasp. I turned to my wife, and knew she heard my thoughts.

  Please stay calm, my love. You need to contain yourself. Go with Chloe, and I’ll deal with her.

  You’re out of your fucking mind if you think I would leave you alone with this woman.

  Just get it together, my heart.

  She placed a hand on my arm and immediately the rush to rip her mother’s head off eased a little.

  “Mom, what are you doing here?” she asked angrily at the beast that gave birth to her.

  “I told you I would be coming.”

  “We haven’t spoken in months. I never said I got the job.”

  “So what? Evan told me that you got it.”

  “I haven’t seen Evan since we broke up. How would he even know, and what the hell are you doing still talking to him?”

  “He still wanted you and checked with your landlord, but since you’re pregnant, I take it he isn’t going to be interested anymore. Unless it’s his.”

  The noise coming from my throat was low and gruff, but I needed to inform her how it was going to be. “Catherine is my wife and the child she carries is mine.”

  “Hunter,” Cat said in warning.

  “Wait…you’re married and having a baby, and you didn’t bother to tell us?” she screeched.

  Just then a man approached and added, “Pregnant and married? To who?”

  “To me.”

  “And you are?” they said in unison. I saw my pack members start to slowly come closer, ready to defend me.

  “I’m Hunter Grey, the owner of this resort,” I proclaimed. “Now, you have two options. You can shut your mouth and tone down your attitude and you can stay…or you get lost and stay gone. The choice is yours, but Cat and I have some matters to discuss in private.”

  I rushed my wife away, leaving Chloe and two other pack members to the Kinney family.

  You’re in trouble, my mate, I warned her.

  For what?

  For not doing as I said.

  You said only when I was in front of others, she argued.

  Damn it, Cat. You know I was an inch away from shifting and tearing her to shreds.

  I know, but I wasn’t going to let you deal with them on your own.

  The moment we got into an unoccupied suite, I pinned her to the door. “Cat, I love you, but I won’t let that broad talk to you like that again. So it’s best that you stay away from her.”

  “For someone really mad, you’re really horny,” she moaned as she ran her hand down my pants.

  “I’m always needy for your ass, but I’m pissed at you, so I
’m going to try and resist the urge,” I asserted.

  “Then I think it’s best you get off me, Hunter, because those bright blues and your massive frame have me dripping. I know you can feel it, smell it, and I bet the taste is reliving on your tongue,” she insisted sensually.

  I bellowed out a growl. “Cat…”

  “What, my dearest?” she asked, feigning innocence as she continued to rub my cock, and just to rile me up, she started rubbing her tit. Closing my thoughts from her, I howled in her ear before licking her jaw. Then I stepped back, opened the door, and strutted away.

  What the hell? I heard her call out in her head, but it was the sudden feeling of heartbreak I felt reverberate through her body that stopped me in my tracks. I rushed right through the door, slamming it shut and picking her up in a flash, tearing at her clothes, ripping her suit coat and blouse off her, and pinning her body under my own on the bed.

  “Don’t. Don’t ever think for one second that I don’t crave your existence. That could never happen. My lust to consume you will never fade. I was walking out of here with a dripping cock and the worst case of blue balls imaginable.”

  “How can you…” she asked as her bottom lip quivered with the emotional ache she felt.

  “I can’t,” I confessed, taking her lips with mine. I lifted up her work skirt, slowly caressing my hands on her shaking thighs. Her pulse was racing, so I bent down and nipped her inner thigh. She was right, her scent was beckoning me taste. My wolf lived at the surface, and he wanted to dominate her. I finished pulling off her shredded top, grasped her wrists, and gave her a devilish grin.

  I felt her pussy drip and leak onto my pants.

  Using the shredded blouse, I tied her wrists together then tied the blouse to the headboard. Her hips bucked into mine, not because she was fighting the restraints, but because she was turned on to the point of almost cumming.

  “You’re going to cum more than once before I undo those hands of yours, my mate,” I said in a low promise. I closed my thoughts to her again because I didn’t want her to anticipate what I was going to do to her. I wanted her to just feel me. Moving down her body, I inched my way to her chest that was heaving harshly as she awaited her pleasure. My fingers lightly raked along her breasts, sending shivers down her body that only caused me more pain in my gut. I circled her nipples that were hard as stone. Looking at her with a smirk, I winked then bent down to take her peak into my hungry, salivating mouth.
