Unexpected Alpha (Gay M-Preg)

by Chris McHart

  Jesus, that felt good.

  Anthony dug his fingers into the sheet, tensing as a loud rip filled the air. Damn it. He raised one of his hands and stared at it. They’d turned into claws, and he’d probably destroyed the bedsheet.

  What happened to him? That’d happened the last time he’d been with Josh, too, and now it was happening again. The need took over, the deep, all-encompassing desire to take him, to mark him as his own, to possess him. It wasn’t like Anthony used to be, and it scared him. At the same time, desire raced through him and threatened to take over.

  He wanted Josh. He wanted Josh with every fiber of his being, wanted to have him and make sure he’d never be with anyone else again.

  Josh let go of his dick. “You’re not focusing on me right now, are you? Where’d you go, big boy?”

  Anthony blinked, raised his hand to show it to Josh, and said, “Sorry, that just surprised me a bit. But I’m all yours. What do you think about coming back up so I can kiss you again?”

  Josh stared at his shifted hand and seemed just as fascinated as Anthony had been a moment before.

  “This is really, really cool. I saw your fangs earlier, but I didn’t know you could partially shift body parts. I figured last time had been an accident. Anyway, I think it’s hot.”

  “What do you mean, you think it’s hot?”

  “Imagine all the things we can do. You can bite me during sex, all these things.”

  “You keep surprising me. And now enough talk. Come up here.” Authority laced his voice. Even though this partial shift had interrupted them, he was about to make Josh his mate, and shifted hands wouldn’t stop him.

  Josh actually followed his order. Their cocks now lay together again, and Josh rubbed himself against Anthony, earning a moan from each of them. The silky soft skin was hot to the touch and already slick with precum.

  “Well, you have me where you want me. Now do what you want with me.” Josh grinned at him, teasing still in his voice.

  Something in Anthony snapped. In a lightning-fast movement, he turned Josh around on his back and pushed him into the mattress. One of his legs slid between Josh’s, who opened them willingly.

  Anthony’s fingers wandered over Josh’s upper body, touching the soft skin and playing with his darker nipples. Not a single hair marred the perfect skin, except for a narrow blond path leading from his navel to his cock. Down there, the hair was cropped short, hiding nothing from Anthony’s gaze.

  He pulled Josh back into a kiss as his now shifted-back hand wrapped around his cock. When he jerked him a few times, he earned himself a moan from Josh. The sounds he made during sex were better than anything Anthony had ever heard.

  When Josh began moving against Anthony’s hand, he let go of him, moving his fingers down to his target. Searching around on the bed, he tried to find the lube, then remembered they had none with them. Damn, how could he have forgotten that?

  Josh mumbled breathlessly, “In my pocket.”

  “Thank you.” Anthony turned around, fished for Josh’s pants, and came back with a packet of lube. He covered his fingers and pulled Josh back to him, just as he’d been before the interruption.

  He gently caressed Josh’s tight hole to get him ready. Not that Josh didn’t like it a little harder, but he still didn’t want to hurt him. His fingers traced the solid muscle and pressed against it, teasing him. Josh’s legs opened wider and he gave Anthony complete access to his body. Anthony’s own shaft rubbed against Josh’s thigh and he could hardly hold back as precum mixed with their combined smells of arousal.

  God, he had to get inside that man right now. Impatiently, he pushed a finger into Josh, and they both breathed in sharply. It was hot and tight and seemed to suck Anthony’s finger right in.

  He moved his finger back and forth a few times until Josh moaned, “More.”

  “Easy, baby.”

  “Go ahead. I know what I can take.” Josh’s words were sharp, and he breathed faster. He began to move on Anthony’s finger, trying to get him to fuck him deeper.

  Josh was relaxed, Anthony had to admit that, so he added a second finger. A loud moaning resonated through the room, and Josh moved even faster against him. That was enough.

  Anthony pulled his fingers back and slipped between Josh’s legs. “Ready?”

  “If you don’t shove that dick up my ass right now, I’m gonna find somebody else who’ll do it.”

  That was too much. Just the idea that someone else might see this body made Anthony lose all restraint. No one else touched Josh. Nobody else saw him naked. Just him.

  With a single movement, Anthony pushed himself deep into Josh and only stopped when his balls rested against Josh’s ass. Josh breathed heavily, his cheeks reddened and his eyes glistening. Fingernails dug into Anthony’s back and seemed to want to draw him even closer. Josh’s ass was hot and tight as always and surrounded his cock like it’d been made just for him.

  Anthony closed his eyes to get a grasp on himself and not come immediately.

  His head rested on Josh’s shoulder, where he smelled so good. After he’d given Josh a few seconds to get used to him, he began to move slowly.

  “When are you gonna learn I’m not fragile? Fuck me like you want to.”

  A smile pulled on Anthony’s lips, and he pressed a quick kiss on Josh’s skin. Demanding as always.

  Anthony leaned back and pressed Josh’s knees near his chest. He started thrusting as hard as he could, pushing his mate deeper into the mattress. Josh looked like he was about to break in two.

  But he clung to Anthony, eyes closed, mouth open, loud moaning pouring from his lips. If he managed to actually form words, it was just: faster, harder, take me, or some other plea for him to keep going. Josh was damn tight, and his cheering words didn’t help Anthony stay in control.

  Anthony gritted his teeth to hold back the orgasm threatening to roll over him. It wasn’t easy, especially since he had to stop his body from partially shifting. He didn’t want to hurt Josh with his claws.

  Instead, he murmured the sacred words that would bind them together.

  His cock thrust again and again into Josh’s tight ass, and he bit his lower lip to control himself. Josh’s eyes were closed, and his cheeks were red. His hands rubbed over Anthony’s forearms, the only part of his body he could currently reach. He didn’t even seem interested in jerking himself off, but considering the precum that kept appearing on Josh’s cock, he didn’t even need help from his hand. Still, either Josh came within the next few minutes, or he wouldn’t come. Anthony’s restraint was over. He moved faster, tried to reach Josh’s prostate, but Josh stopped him.

  “Wait.”

  Anthony stopped immediately.

  “Let me turn around.”

  Anthony’s claws reappeared, and he struggled to retract them. Damn, not now… he couldn’t finish the thought, because Josh had already turned around and presented his ass. Spreading his buttocks with his hands, he offered Anthony the most enticing picture of all.

  His legs were spread, and he had the perfect submissive posture. With a growl, Anthony didn’t hesitate, but shoved himself deeply inside him again. He fucked him like their lives depended on it.

  “Get yourself off. I’m right there.”

  “I don’t need it.” With those words, Josh’s body suddenly tightened. He reared up, and, without touching himself, he came.

  The bitter scent of cum filled Anthony’s nose and triggered his own orgasm. Without thinking, he leaned forward and sank his teeth into Josh’s neck. Blood covered his tongue, leaving a metallic taste, and another orgasm, stronger than ever before, ripped through him. He felt himself spurting into Josh and with that, time stood still. He heard his heartbeat, Josh’s breath, the birds outside and a thousand other things.

  This was the moment he didn’t just become the leader of the pack. He’d mated with Josh. They were one, a couple, a unit.

  Anthony closed his eyes and carefully retracted his fangs. He licked ov
er the wound and his lips to remove all traces of it. He hadn’t asked Josh, hadn’t intended to bite him. It had just happened.

  “Damn.” Josh sounded like his tongue was too big for his mouth, or like he was about to fall asleep.

  Anthony withdrew carefully and dropped on the bed next to Josh. Before Josh could react, Anthony had pulled him to his upper body and put his head on his shoulder. “I think ‚damn’ is the right word. That was amazing. I’m just sorry I bit you. That wasn’t intentional.”

  “Don’t apologize–“

  “I didn’t ask you, and it shouldn’t have happened. But something in me changed when I came inside you.” Regret crept into his words. It hadn’t been agreed to, and he’d already started treating Josh differently instead of the way he deserved.

  He’d hurt him without his consent, something he’d always hated his father for.

  Josh pinched one of his nipples. Hard.

  “Ouch!”

  “Stop apologizing for something you couldn’t control, which I found pretty awesome. You didn’t notice I came again when you bit me, did you?”

  “You’re not mad?” Anthony rubbed his nipple. Josh might’ve pinched a bit too hard.

  “No, I’m not angry. Quite the contrary. I know you’d never intentionally hurt me, and honestly, I expected something like that after your claws came out earlier.”

  “You talked to Gerome and Luis, didn’t you? How Gerome mated with Luis?”

  Josh nodded, and his slight beard stubbles scratched over Anthony’s shoulder. He giggled quietly. “It wasn’t really the mating, though, but the general fact of how biting and sex fit together. Let’s just leave it at: I caught the two of them having some fun.”

  “You didn’t… Did you?”

  Josh laughed. His fingers drew slow circles on Anthony’s chest and played with the hair growing on it. “Yes, I did. Since then, I’ve never gone back to the apartment unannounced, no matter what I needed. I always call before, and I’d even do that if the office was on fire.”

  “I can imagine.”

  Josh laughed quietly. “But enough of that. Can we take a nap before we go outside and take care of the old alpha?” He suppressed a yawn.

  It’d been a busy day, and it wasn’t over yet.

  “I think so. Do you want to take a shower first, or is that too much for now?”

  Josh simply shook his head and Anthony pulled him closer, where Josh nestled against him until he found a comfortable position.

  It was nice to lie like that and just enjoy the silence. What’d come later wouldn’t be that beautiful.

  Anthony had to deal with his father, and he really hesitated to kill the alpha. That was how it usually worked in a pack when they fought for leadership, but the thought of harming his father made him sick. Anthony wasn’t a monster, and even though he condemned what his father had done, he just couldn’t take that final action.

  Josh pressed even closer to him, and Anthony closed his eyes. He took a deep breath and noticed that his and Josh’s scents had changed. Josh belonged to him. He was his partner. His mate. They belonged together.

  From now on, they’d rule this pack, side by side.

  Chapter 13

  Anthony

  * * *

  Everything in him resisted getting up and leaving the warm and comfortable bed. If it were up to him, he’d spend the night here, maybe fuck Josh again, and otherwise enjoy the time with him. But no, he had to deal with his father. This man had made his life hell when he and D had grown up. And now he even managed to disturb his time with Josh.

  They walked through the village, watched by some curious faces. The pack most likely wanted to know if it was really true that the old alpha had been defeated. He understood, especially after he realized more and more how much damage his own father had done.

  He just still didn’t know what to do with him. Could he really kill his own father, even if he was a monster? He didn’t know. Everything in him screamed to leave him imprisoned, to leave him to his fate, to let him rot in one of the gloomy cells. Was that the right way to go? He didn’t know. What if one of his faithful followers freed him? He couldn’t risk that.

  “What are you doing to him?” Josh interrupted his thoughts.

  “I don’t know.” Anthony looked at his new mate. He looked a little exhausted, just like Anthony.

  The sun had already set, and the village wasn’t too well lit.

  “Can you kill him?”

  Anthony shook his head. “I don’t think so. Despite everything he’s done, I don’t know if I can do it. I think they’re expecting me to, but…”

  “You’d start ruling the pack the same way he did. Have you thought about casting him out? Then you’d take from him what probably means the most to him – his power. He’d just be an old panther trying to find a new pack. And I’m pretty sure that won’t be easy for someone like him. He can either submit, take over, or he stays alone.”

  Anthony nodded. Josh was right. “That doesn’t sound bad. Maybe I should really do this. I could expel him from the pack without killing him.”

  “I know how hard killing him would be for you.”

  Anthony didn’t comment on those words. He didn’t want to admit to his own mate how weak he was regarding his father.

  They reached the prison and met Jeremy, who was sitting in front of the cell. He was alert, but relaxed.

  “Everything quiet?”

  Jeremy nodded. “Yeah, everything’s fine. Nobody wanted to see him, and he didn’t make any trouble. Do you need me? Or do you want me to call for backup?”

  “Yeah, if you could get Lindsay? We’ve got to get him to the main house. I need a village meeting in half an hour. Tell everyone to come. Is there any way to arrange that? I’ve been around here even less than you have. Do you think I could do that?”

  Jeremy nodded. “I think Lindsay and D have found someone who’s in charge of something like this. Let me call them, and then we’ll figure out how to proceed. It shouldn’t be too much of a problem to bring the whole village to the main hall.”

  Anthony nodded and cast a glance at the locked cell door. No noise penetrated the door. “Well, then we’ll wait until the others are here and then we can get ready for the meeting.”

  Josh had been silent the whole time, but he stood by his side as a mate should.

  Jeremy nodded and spoke into a small microphone on his collar. When he was finished and had gotten answers, Anthony was about to leave for the small office as Jeremy stopped him. “I haven’t even congratulated you yet. Congratulations on your mating. I wish you a happy life together.”

  Josh stepped closer to Jeremy and pulled him into his arms. “Thank you very much.” Jeremy released Josh, then turned to Anthony.

  “To you too, of course. I never thought that day would come, but sometimes, we’re all surprised.” Much to Anthony’s surprise, Jeremy pulled him into his arms and whispered in his ear. “Take care of him.”

  Anthony returned the hug and tried to figure out what Jeremy meant by these words. Of course he’d take care of his mate. At least, he’d try.

  “For the time being, go to the office. I’ll send the others through. I think I’ll stay here and keep an eye on our special guest. I don’t want him coming up with any ideas.”

  Anthony nodded and walked toward the office. Josh followed, still silent.

  It wasn’t until the door was closed that he spoke.

  “Can he hear us?” Josh nodded towards the door.

  “He can’t. The door is very solid, and even with his good hearing, it shouldn’t be possible.”

  “Good. You intend to cast him out in front of the assembled village?”

  “Yes. Everyone must see I’ve taken control. And you’ll also be introduced as my mate.”

  “Oh, great.” Sarcasm laced Josh’s words, but he didn’t look angry.

  Anthony dropped into one of the chairs and buried his face in his hands. So much had happened that he wasn’t sur
e if he was just stuck in a nightmare. But he wasn’t. Josh stood before him and was now his mate, he had a pack, and he’d defeated his father. Fortunately, this kind of day wasn’t too common. That was clearly too exhausting.

  Thirty minutes later, they stood in the great hall with all the members of the pack gathered around them.

  Jeremy and Lindsay brought in the alpha. He was handcuffed and led between the two of them. His head was lowered and there was not much to see of his former arrogance.

  Anthony took a deep breath. That was the moment.

  A murmur went through the crowd. Anthony stood hidden behind a curtain on the side of the room, and he watched how his new pack reacted to seeing their alpha as a prisoner. None of them seemed really upset about it, and it confirmed his suspicions. Only a few had really been happy to have him as alpha.

  Josh was standing next to him, but he didn’t touch him. The closer the moment of facing the old alpha came, the more Josh had withdrawn. But right now Anthony wanted him by his side, to feel his support.

  The room fell silent when Anthony stepped out from behind the curtain and looked at his father. He wanted to feel something for the man who’d raised him, who’d partly made him the man he was today.

  Everything about him was disgusting. But still, it was his father. Wasn’t he supposed to have other feelings for him?

  He found nothing. This man was nothing but a disgrace.

  His father’s face was hard when he stared at Anthony. He refused to lower his gaze, and in his eyes lay a challenge. He really wanted to know which one of them was the stronger one.

  He would know soon enough.

  Anthony stepped forward without letting his father out of his sight. Josh followed half a step behind him.
