“No.” Daniel went to the electric box, opened the door, and typed in a code. The gates opened up letting the two men inside.
“Dawn.” The Doc nodded his head at her.
Daniel stepped beside her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. “Her presence here is to remain a secret,” Daniel said, coming to her rescue.
She dropped her head feeling ashamed that she had to hide who she was from her family and her pack.
“I won’t say anything.”
Her mate stepped closer invading Doc’s space. “I mean it. Anyone says anything and I’ll be coming back for you.”
Doc swallowed. “I didn’t think you believed in violence?”
“I don’t believe in violence, but if I’m pushed, I’ll do whatever the hell I have to in order to protect my woman.” Daniel stood to his full height, the scent of his wolf coming to the fore for all of them to know he meant business.
Goosebumps erupted on her arms as heat flooded her pussy at the dominant display.
“I’ve got it,” Doc said.
“You’re going to go all alpha on a woman who’s denied your claiming?” Jake took a step closer. The anger rolled off him along with his disapproval.
She gasped at the smells coming her way along with the anger. Daniel growled, stepping in front of her.
“Daniel, you can do much better.”
“She’s my mate, Jake. You’ll show her some motherfucking respect or I’ll make sure you regret any words that come out of your mouth.”
Jake stared at her, shaking his head. “He doesn’t deserve you.”
“I’ve accepted his claim,” Dawn said.
“There’s a reason she’s accepted my offer, Jake. Come inside, and I’ll let you listen.”
Together they walked into the house. She noticed Daniel made the two men walk in front of them.
“Thank you,” she said, resting against him. One of his arms wrapped around her back, holding her up.
“No need to thank me, baby. You’re my mate and my sub. I’ll take care of you for the rest of our lives.”
She closed her eyes, relishing the feel of him holding her. They’d not even had sex, and yet she felt close to him.
Sex doesn’t mean love.
The way he’d brought her to the edge of orgasm and yet denied her had angered and excited her. He was the first man to show so much control. Daniel turned her on by his masculine display.
They entered the house, going toward the sitting room that Daniel told her was only allowed to hold guests. He rarely let anyone further into his house who was not part of the pack. Daniel’s pack may be different from many others, but his determination to keep them safe was that of a good leader.
She liked the thought of having the house filled with a loving, loyal pack.
“I want to thank you for coming,” Daniel said, standing behind her as she sat down on the sofa.
Get closer.
Dawn moved into the sofa and snuggled up against his arm. Daniel seemed to know what she needed as he rested both of his hands on her shoulders, holding her.
“No problem. I don’t see any problem, but I guess this is not a social call?” Doc asked.
“This isn’t a social call.” Daniel squeezed her shoulder. “Have you heard of other wolves who suffer with a condition similar to Congenital Analgesia?”
Doc frowned. “The condition is very uncommon in humans let alone in wolves.”
“I’ve heard of it,” Jake said. His arms were folded over his chest, staring at them. “The rumors were true. There’s a wolf being used for sport.” Jake glanced at her. “I’ve not been able to find him though. It has been a very busy morning.”
She had so many questions.
“Is there any way to treat it?”
“What is this all about? I don’t see what the problem is,” Doc said. He looked between the two. She looked up at her mate, and Daniel stared back at her, waiting. Dawn nodded for him to tell the truth.
“Dawn can’t feel pain,” Daniel said.
“This is bullshit, Daniel. How do you know she’s not lying to get away from you? She’s been playing you from day one.”
Daniel’s wolf tensed. She felt him get ready to strike, and Dawn didn’t want to be the one responsible for two pack males attacking. Getting up from the sofa, she opened the Doc’s medical kit and withdrew a scalpel. Opening her arm, she slid the knife across her flesh. She didn’t wince or feel the bite of pain. It was like her brain was cut off from feeling anything but pleasure. She felt Daniel’s touch, the stings of the cane or his slaps. They didn’t hurt her, and yet this kind of pain didn’t have any affect.
She ran the blade across her arm twice more.
Dawn hadn’t pressed the blade too deep, and the wounds started to heal seconds later. The first man she’d killed had pressed the blade in deep making it hard for her to heal.
“That’s enough, Dawn,” Daniel said. His voice commanded her to stop, and she stared at him. The concern was clear in his eyes. She handed the Doc back his scalpel and took her seat beside Daniel.
He covered the marks on her arms. Blood oozed between his fingers until finally the blood disappeared. Licking her lips, she stared up at him.
“Wait, you just took a scalpel to yourself,” Jake said.
“This is not good,” Doc said, moving forward.
Daniel growled, covering her with his arms. “I suggest if you intend to harm her you think again. I won’t have anyone harming my woman.”
“I’m not going to harm her.” Doc held his hands up in surrender. “I’m only going to inspect her arms.”
Several seconds passed before Daniel relented and allowed Doc to get closer. She held her arm out for him to inspect. There were no visible wounds.
“How long has it been like this?” he asked.
She swallowed past the lump in her throat. “Ever since my transition.” It wasn’t a lie as she’d felt plenty of pain before then. There used to be a lot of pain, and over time she stopped reacting to the pain inflicted upon her. After her transition, the pain no longer mattered. Her mother wouldn’t leave her alone long enough to stop.
“There’s no way for us to diagnose it unless we made our wolves vulnerable to the humans. In very rare cases something gets shut off during the transition in the emotional receptors of the brain. The reason I say very rare cases is the majority of the condition in wolves is based around abuse. The lines get switched, and the wolf can’t decipher pain.” Doc released her arm and looked at her.
She stared into his eyes, wondering if he knew the truth about her mother.
“Someone in your family, Dawn, has to be responsible for this.”
“You mean, you can’t feel anything?” Jake asked, coming closer. “Broken bones, boiling water, you can’t feel it?”
Dawn shook her head, feeling like a freak show for them all to view.
“No, I can’t feel it.”
“Who did this, Dawn?” Doc asked.
“Is there a cure for this?” Dawn asked, ignoring his question. The conversation about the person responsible for her condition needed to be had with Daniel in private, not in front of these men she didn’t know.
“I don’t know. I’ve never met anyone with this condition.” Doc ran fingers through his hair, obviously completely baffled. “This is dangerous, Daniel. If anyone found out about her condition, she could be used in unspeakable things. You’ve got to keep her safe.”
Daniel’s jaw tightened.
“What about the mating?” Dawn asked, turning back to look at the Doc. She couldn’t live the rest of her life wondering if there was a cure.
“What do you mean?” Jake spoke up.
“If the transition rewired my brain then shouldn’t the mating help me to rewire it again?”
Doc held his hands up. “I really don’t know. I’m not going to say there’s a cure, and I’m not going to say there isn’t. I really don’t know. There’s a lot about this disease within wolves that
we don’t know. I can’t help you with this.”
“So you’re pretty much no use at all?” Daniel asked.
“The mating is worth a try. Personally, I’d try to find fellow wolves in a similar situation as yourself.” Doc stood, grabbing his bag. “Your secret is safe with me. This is not going to be good for other wolves if it’s found out.”
Seconds later Doc left the property.
“What are you thinking?” she asked.
Daniel moved around the sofa, tugging her onto his lap. “I don’t like his lack of knowledge, and yet we call him a doctor. What I also want to know is where others are.”
He stroked her thigh.
She snuggled in against him, pressing her palm against his heart. Daniel surrounded her with warmth.
“What if the mating helps?” she asked.
“I don’t know, Dawn. I don’t want to put you at unnecessary risk. I’d never change you.” He kissed the top of her head.
Opening her eyes, she stared at his chest. In the past year Daniel had shown her more love and affection than the woman she called a mother had in her whole life. They hadn’t slept together, and yet he left her feeling completely whole.
Tucking some hair behind her ear, Dawn spilled the truth out for him to hear.
“It was my mom,” she said.
“What, baby?”
“My mom, she was always mean growing up, but she’d hide it away from Dad. He never knew the kind of woman he married and mated. She’s not a true alpha, wasn’t born one.” Her chest tightened as she thought of the years she’d spent afraid of the one woman she should have trusted. “They’re not a true mated couple. She was the one who caught his eye, and they had me.” She stared up at him.
“You never talk about your mother.”
“Because she doesn’t deserve the title of mother.” Tears spilled from her eyes, and she hated them. “When I was younger she used to hit me if I got my dress dirty or find ways to punish me. I couldn’t do anything right, and she would tell me how useless I was. She’d lash out, slapping, hitting me, or scaring me. All the time she did, Daddy wasn’t in the house. I noticed from a young age that she was always nicer to me when he was around. I tried to make him stay around a lot more, but he had pack work to deal with. I don’t think he loved my mother. He cared about her, and he loved me, but she wasn’t a true mate.” Her throat felt dry as she started to tell him her memories. The memories she kept buried. “Where most kids went to their mother or pack female for help, I hid from her. She was a vicious woman.”
Daniel held her tightly, and she was able to talk about all the bad memories she kept locked up inside.
“How does your father not see it?” Daniel asked.
“I don’t know. Mom deals with the rest of the pack problems while he makes sure no one threatens the pack.” She kept wiping away the tears, feeling the cleansing within her soul. No one knew of what she went through. This was the truth she’d given to Daniel, her mate, no one else.
“I’m not going to let this stand,” he said.
“You can’t do anything, Daniel. If you challenge my mom then you challenge my father first. He’ll never let her accept a challenge she can’t win.”
“What do you think he’s going to do when he finds out the truth?”
She bit her lip. “Nothing.”
“These people you call parents suck. You’re my mate, and when the time comes I won’t stand for anyone to hurt you.” He kissed the top of her head, but fortunately, he let it go.
Dawn closed her eyes, snuggling in deep against him, loving the feel of his warmth surround her. There was nothing she wanted more than to be around her mate.
Chapter Eight
Several days passed, and Daniel took the time to gain more of Dawn’s trust. He taught her the value of herself, and punished her when she pushed him a little too far. She begged for him to take her back to his cabin within the woods where all of his toys were. He had a selection within his room but not as extensive as the ones back at the cabin. Jake called him regularly to ask for updates. The pack was getting worried, but they were also sensing a change inside him.
He knew it was only going to be a matter of days before he claimed her. The full moon was tonight, but he wanted the chance to run wild with her. They hadn’t had sex yet either. Their time together was through touching. He loved the feel of her hands on his skin. She drove him crazy with need. Yesterday he had used rope on her gorgeous body, tying the cords around her breasts and looping them through her legs to keep her bound up. He’d laid her on the coffee table, while he simply admired the view at the same time as stroking his length. She didn’t complain about her position on the table or what he was doing. Her eyes closed at different intervals, and he saw the pleasure shining in her face. She was happy, and he couldn’t find a single reason to protest.
When he could no longer stand to simply stare at her beautiful bound body he’d gone to his knees before her and enjoyed the taste of her pussy. He tortured her for over an hour, licking her delicious cream and taking his time to explore her clit. She was so responsive, and the rope helped to arouse her further by holding her down, adding to her pleasure. Only when he was ready for her to come did he give his permission.
He’d flicked her clit until she cried out in bliss, and he’d swallowed down every drop of her release. Afterwards, he’d untied the rope and she’d gone into her submissive pose and begged for him to allow her to help him with his problem.
His cock had been rock hard and aching for release. Daniel had had every intention of going to the bathroom to relieve the ache. Instead, he’d sat down on the sofa and peeled away his jeans. His cock had sprung up as if it had a life of its own.
Seeing the yearning in her brown eyes, and the way she’d licked her lips was his undoing. There was no way a Dom could deny a sub who’d been a very good girl. She’d taken his cock within her mouth, sliding her tongue along the vein before going back to the head. Dawn had swallowed him down until he hit her throat, going deeper still. She’d bobbed her head while sucking on the root.
The feel of her mouth wrapped around his cock had been pure torture but of the most delightful kind.
Throughout her sucking, she’d stared at him, watching his reactions. He’d simply stared back, showing her how much he loved her lips on his cock. She’d surprised him further when she swallowed the cum that he erupted into her mouth. Afterward, he’d tugged her into his lap and held her while they watched a movie.
She hadn’t worn any clothes since she came to him. Daniel was finding it harder to be around her and not to be inside her. He typed on the keyboard within his office, answering emails that had been sent to him in the past couple of days. The club, Kinkster’s, still needed his attention as did his pack. Dawn knelt on the floor by the sofa with the book on the furniture as she read. Her hands were folded underneath her breasts, and she leaned on her arms as she read. Her feet were crossed behind her, moving from side to side as the rest of her body moved to whatever tune was playing in her mind.
He found himself constantly distracted by her movements. The emails were going unanswered while she was reading one of those sex books she’d found in one of the rooms. One of his wolves enjoyed some kinky books, which he didn’t have a problem with Dawn reading. Anything that got his woman hot and horny was only a benefit to him.
She turned the page of the book and started reading again. The scent of her arousal filled the room, making it harder for him to concentrate on the latest email. He dealt with the financial problems of his pack. If some members wished to go to college, he footed the bill as they paid him back once they graduated and were in full time employment. One of the pack females was asking if she could go to medical school to train to be a doctor. He didn’t see any concerns in helping her. A doctor within the pack could only help them all.
“You’re doing that on purpose,” he said, looking at Dawn as she turned to look at him.
“What?”
; “The teasing with your body, moving and wriggling. It’s distracting me.” He sent her a smile, which she responded to.
She’d been completely engrossed into her book rather than seeing what she’d done to him. His cock was rock hard, wanting inside the wet heat of her.
“You’re the one who keeps me naked, Sir,” she said. “I wouldn’t be that distracting if you let me wear clothes.”
“Where would the fun be in that? I like you naked.” He started typing away on his computer. Dawn closed her book and walked around the desk to rest against the hard wood.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
He reached out to stroke her naked hip. “One of the girls who’s just recently graduated from high school is asking for the funds to go to medical school after college. I’m responding for her to get her parents to come and see me with her.”
“A nurse or doctor?”
“A doctor. The pack could do with a doctor of our own. There’s not enough medical staff out there to deal with us.” He finished typing the email arranging a date suitable.
“You’re meeting her in a week at the local diner?” She covered his hand with her own.
“Yeah. You’ll be coming with me. As my mate you’re going to be helping me to build a healthier pack.” He pressed send and watched the email go. Turning his attention back to his woman, he slid his hand up to cup her breast. “That is if you still agree to be my mate.” He rubbed the tip of her nipple, watching her eyes dilate. Her wolf wanted to go out running, and she also wanted to fuck.
Daniel wouldn’t be fucking his woman until he was ready.
“I want to be your mate more than anything.” Her hands wrapped around his wrist, but she didn’t try to stop him from touching her. With his other hand, he stroked the side of her body, loving the way goosebumps erupted along her flesh. He saw her stomach tense, and he pulled her in front of him.
It didn’t take him long to have her sat on his desk with her legs wide open. “You’re always spreading me open,” she said, moaning.
He cupped her hot pussy, sliding a finger through her slit. “I’m always going to find a reason to have you spread open for my pleasure, baby. It’s never going to change. You’re just going to have to get used to it.”
