Feral Alpha: The Alpha’s Obsession Book Three

by Turner, Olivia T.

  I’m pure mush when she gets up, smiling and wiping the wetness from the corner of her mouth. “Is that better?”

  “So much fucking better.”

  “Do you think you can handle driving through the town?”

  “That I can handle,” I tell her as a comforting warmth flows through every part of my body. “You on the other hand… I don’t know if I can handle you. You’re too amazing.”

  She smiles shyly as she turns the car back on and starts driving.

  I just look at her and pray that I don’t fuck this up.

  I make it the rest of the way to Courtney’s apartment without any furry accidents. Her lips worked like a charm to calm my bear and myself.

  “What do you think?” she asks as she throws her purse onto the counter in her kitchen.

  “It beats my accommodations,” I say as I look around.

  “Anything with running water and electricity beats your accommodations,” she says with a laugh.

  “I love it,” I say as I walk to the window and look out at the view of the town. I forgot how gorgeous Blackcloud Point is with the scenic backdrop of mountains behind it. It’s especially stunning in the fall when all of the leaves are changing colors.

  “Make yourself at home,” she says as she heads to the fridge. “Want a beer or some wine?”

  “How about a tour?” I ask her. I really want to see the bedroom. Not just to see where she sleeps, but I also want to pay her back for the favor in the car. I haven’t had a chance to taste her yet.

  The apartment is cutely decorated with nice comfy furniture and real paintings on the walls. “My grandfather was a painter,” she says as she shows me a large painting of rocks on a beach. “He mostly painted naked women, but sometimes he would paint something for me.”

  “You weren’t into the naked women?”

  “Nope,” she says with a laugh. “I am a kindergarten teacher after all.”

  She shows me the bathroom and the family room next. “And this is my bedroom,” she says as she flicks on the light.

  My cock starts to stir when I see her unmade bed. The sheets are all twisted up and one of the pillows is on the floor.

  “Oops,” she says as she runs over to make it. “I forgot that I left here in a hurry last night.”

  Her arousal is all over the room, perfuming it and making my cock ache.

  “You were touching yourself. Weren’t you?”

  Her cheeks go as red as the throw pillow on her chair.

  “I was… thinking of you,” she says in a shy voice. “I couldn’t stop thinking of you.”

  “Come here.” I reach out my arms and she comes into them. “I was thinking of you too. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you since the second you walked into the woods.”

  She grins shyly as she looks up at me, her cheeks still an adorable pink. “What are you thinking about now?”

  “Come with me and I’ll show you.” I slide my hand down to hers and take it. She follows me to the bed and I lie down on it, pulling her on top of me.

  Her shiny blue eyes are locked on me as I get her undressed, revealing her soft milky skin. Fuck, this girl… She’s so damn beautiful.

  I pull her panties off and suck in a breath when I see the wetness on her pink lips.

  “Put that pussy on my mouth,” I command her. “I need to taste you.”

  She’s shy, but she does as I say, straddling my face and lowering her cunt onto my lips. I lap up her sweet nectar and groan as her body trembles.

  I can’t get enough of her hot juices as they seep down onto my greedy tongue. She whimpers as I grab her ass and hold her in place while I devour her delicious cunt.

  She starts shaking as I slide my tongue up her pink folds and crying out as I suck on her big clit.

  “Are you going to think of another guy again?” I growl on her pussy.

  “No,” she gasps.

  “Are you going to look at another guy again?”

  “No,” she moans as she grinds her little kitty on my mouth. “Only you. I only fucking want you.”

  “Good.” I dive back in and let her ride my mouth until she’s throwing her head back and screaming in ecstasy.

  Her hot juice coats the lower half of my face and I swear that I’ve died and gone to heaven.

  She falls to the bed and closes her eyes as the orgasm overtakes her luscious body. I watch in awe as she trembles with every heavy breath.

  I know in this moment that I’m never going back to the forest. I’ll do whatever it takes to stay by her side.

  And although my bear is strong, I know that I can be even stronger if it means being by my mate’s side.

  Chapter Eight

  Courtney

  The bed moves sometime in the night and I jerk awake to find Adrian sitting up. His back is tense and he’s gripping a fistful of his hair like he’s about to rip it out.

  “What’s wrong?”

  He doesn’t hear me at first. He looks like he’s battling demons somewhere deep where I can’t see it. Someplace where I can’t help him.

  I run my hand along the taut muscles of his back and it’s slick with sweat. He jerks his head toward me with a growl.

  I gasp and snap my head back in shock when I see his eyes shining a bright golden color. Something is wrong with his lips. At first, I think they’re swollen, but then I realize that it’s his teeth. They’ve grown and are pressing his upper lip out.

  His quickly returns to normal when he realizes it’s me. His teeth retract and his eyes dull to their normal brown. He’s breathing so heavily. My heart breaks for him.

  “Is there something I can do to help?” I whisper as I rub his back again.

  “You’ve already helped so much,” he says. I barely recognize his voice after hearing it all day. It’s deep and throaty like he’s trying to imitate a monster.

  “Is it your bear?” I ask after a long moment.

  He drops his head and lets out a sigh. “Yeah.”

  I give him a moment to catch his breath. My heart goes out to him as I watch and I have to fight back tears. This isn’t easy for him. I can’t imagine what he’s been through.

  “He wants out.”

  “Here?” I ask, looking around my small room. This is not going to end well if he phases into his giant grizzly in my tiny apartment. My neighbor would call the police. She once called the cops because a delivery man rang the doorbell three times.

  “Not here,” he grunts. “Not ever.”

  “You’re going to have to let him out sometime,” I tell him. I read that on the website when I did my research on the first night. Shifters have to let their bears out or they start to go crazy. Although, I guess that ship has sailed. I don’t know if he can get any crazier than he already is.

  Adrian swallows hard as he looks down at my sheets. “I’m afraid.”

  My eyes roam over his huge body. He’s showing every large muscle he has, wearing nothing but a pair of boxer briefs. I can’t imagine he would be afraid of anything. He’s the most powerful man I’ve ever seen.

  “What are you afraid of?”

  He looks at me with tormented eyes as he rubs the stubble on his chin. “That he won’t let me back out. That I’ll be his prisoner again. That I won’t be able to see you anymore. That we won’t be able to be like this again.”

  I wrap my arms around his big arm and rest my cheek on his shoulder. Now, I’m afraid of that too. I’m terrified this perfect night could be our only one.

  “I could live like that before,” he says as he puts his hand over mine. “But that was before I knew you existed. Before I knew that this existed.” He sighs as he rests his cheek on the top of my head. “I can’t live like that anymore. Not when I know you’re out here. That would be too much for even me to handle.”

  I run my fingertip up and down his thick forearm, watching as the tiny hairs on his arms rise. “He let you out before,” I whisper. “Maybe he will again. Maybe things ar
e different now.”

  “I can’t take that chance.”

  “What if you…” That wasn’t the only thing I read on the website. I also learned that shifters sometimes leave their mark on their mate’s neck. It helps curb some of the possessiveness and territorial nature of the bears. It also lets any other males nearby know that their girl is off-limits. I was very curious when I read it. So much so that a spot under my ear began to tingle. It’s tingling even more now.

  “What if you put your mark on me? Would that help?”

  He swallows hard as he looks at me. He looks even more tormented now.

  “I don’t want to hurt you.”

  “I’ll be okay. I want to be yours in every way, Adrian. And if it helps you avoid all this, then I’m happy to do it.”

  He looks at me for a long moment. “You’re incredible, Courtney. Absolutely stellar.”

  “Let’s try it,” I say as I lay down on the bed.

  He doesn’t move from where he’s sitting. He just faces the wall as he takes slow deep breaths. “I don’t know.”

  “I do. Come.”

  He’s trying to resist me. Well, he won’t be able to resist this.

  I pull off my long sleeping shirt and lie back down, completely naked. He lasts about two seconds before he turns and looks me up and down with dark hungry eyes.

  “Come,” I say as I push my hair back and turn my chin to expose my neck. “Make me yours. Don’t make me beg.”

  His resolve cracks and he leans over me. He cups my bare breast and kisses my hard nipple as I reach down and start rubbing his hard cock.

  Sticky wet pre-come leaks onto my hand as I stroke him. I moan as he nibbles on my breast. He leans up and watches with a fire in his eyes as I bring my fingers to my mouth and lick his seed clean off.

  I climb to my knees and push him into a seated position, his rock hard cock standing straight up between us. My pussy throbs at the anticipation of having it back inside me.

  His heated eyes are all over me as I grab his shoulders and straddle his huge frame. He grabs his shaft and guides his dick into my wet hole as I drop my hips down. We both moan at the incredible feeling of being so connected. I always feel like we’re sharing the same soul, like we’re connected in so many ways, but being connected physically like this amplifies everything.

  I grind my clit on his hard pelvis as he grips my ass hard, making me whimper. He starts guiding me up and down his big dick, my breasts bouncing up and down between us.

  It’s the first time I’ve ridden him and I like it. We stare into each other’s eyes until he kisses me passionately while I slide up and down his thick pole.

  “Mark me,” I beg as my hair bounces on my shoulders, tickling his face. I pull it back to reveal the tingling spot on my neck that his teeth are destined to mark. “I want to be yours.”

  His body starts to swell as his eyes lock onto the spot. I gasp as his shoulders grow and his chest expands. I run my hands all over it, marveling at his beautiful amazing body.

  “Oh!” I cry out as I feel his cock thickening even more inside me. It stretches and burns and feels so unbelievably good. He’s so damn large.

  His eyes turn that fiery golden color as he looks at my exposed neck. He licks his lips and when his tongue disappears, his canine teeth extend, growing so much they push against his upper lip. It’s almost a monstrous look, but it turns me on in a hot primal way that makes me ride him even harder.

  I’m bouncing up and down with longer harder strokes, taking all of him inside of me and wishing this moment would never end.

  “Bite me, Adrian,” I beg in a moan. “Put your mark on my neck where it belongs.”

  He lunges forward and I scream out when I feel his teeth sink into the flesh on my neck. It burns for a few seconds, but then, as the mark takes hold, the sensation turns to a warm comforting feeling that begins to flow through the rest of my body.

  I whimper as he slides his teeth back out and kisses the spot. I’m his now. I can feel the bond more than ever.

  There’s no going back now. We’re in each other’s lives through thick and thin.

  He wraps his big arms around me and throws me down on the bed, still inside me as he pounds away at my pussy with a vigorous energy.

  I’m crying out, gasping and screaming his name as he ruthlessly thrusts his big cock over and over into my trembling body.

  I can barely breathe as I watch his enormous frame over me. His big teeth are out, his eyes brighter than ever. He’s relentlessly pounding his huge cock into me and I come hard without warning.

  He fucks me through my never-ending orgasm as I grab a fistful of sheets and hold on for dear life. Finally, with a roar, he peels his lips back, revealing long sharp canines, and comes deep inside of me.

  The warmth fills me, mixing with my own orgasm and the feel of the marking taking hold. I squeeze my eyes shut as my mouth flies open, completely surrendering to the bliss.

  It feels like it lasts for an eternity, but it’s over too fast. Adrian thrusts his tongue into my mouth and kisses me as he slows his hips, tempering everything down.

  When I open my eyes as he starts kissing my neck, I see his regular shoulders, his mouth back to normal.

  But the tingling in my neck is still there. His mark is still on me, letting any man who will ever cross my path know that I’m Adrian Bowen’s girl.

  And for that, I can’t stop smiling.

  Chapter Nine

  Adrian

  I spend the best week of my life at Courtney’s apartment, but by the weekend, my bear is itching to get out.

  It’s normal. It’s not good for anyone to keep their bear bottled up for a whole week, especially mine who’s used to getting free reign 24/7. If I don’t let him out today, I’m asking for a disaster.

  To his credit, he’s been amazing. Totally calm. Totally cool.

  Sometimes when I don’t hear him for a while, I think he might be dead. But once I check in on him, I see that he’s just relaxing deep inside, watching Courtney or enjoying her scent all over her apartment while she’s at work.

  Placing our mark on her neck has soothed the beast, but I have yet to conduct the biggest test—letting him out. I’m still terrified that once I free him, he’ll refuse to let me back out. I’m scared he’ll go on a rampage and terrorize my brothers or plant himself back in the forest and refuse to leave.

  “What’s the matter?” Courtney asks as she drags her hand up and down my back. It’s Saturday morning and I’m sitting up in her bed. She looks gorgeous when she wakes up with her eyes all puffy and her blonde hair a wild mess. I look her over with ravenous eyes and wonder how I could ever deserve a girl like her. She’s not wearing a bra and her breasts look so tempting under her old faded Goo Goo Dolls t-shirt. “Is it your bear? Is he giving you problems again?”

  “That’s the thing,” I say as I take her hand and squeeze it. “He isn’t. It’s been a week that he’s been inside me and… nothing. It feels ominous, like he’s plotting something deadly.”

  She smiles as she sits up and puts her head on my shoulder. “Maybe things have changed now. Maybe he just needed to find his girl to take the edge off.”

  “Things have changed alright,” I say as I look at her. “Nothing will ever be the same for me again.”

  She smiles shyly. “For me either.”

  I try to kiss her on the lips but she gives me her cheek. “Not until I’ve tasted toothpaste,” she says with a laugh.

  It’s the same thing every morning. When will she understand that she could never taste bad to me?

  “Do you think you’re ready?” she asks as she opens my hand and rubs little circles on my palm with her fingertip. “To let him out?”

  I sigh as I turn to the window. “It is a beautiful day.” The sun is already up and it looks like one of those warm fall days that you’d be crazy not to take advantage of before the long winter comes. “I guess we could try.”

  “I’ll be with you the entire
time.”

  “That’s what I’m worried about. I don’t want you anywhere near him.”

  “I’m not afraid. I know he won’t hurt me.”

  I raise my eyebrow as I look at her. “And how do you know that?”

  She shrugs those sexy shoulders. “I just know.”

  “That’s not good enough when it comes to your safety.”

  “I’ve met him before, ya know. Twice. And both times I could sense it. I could see it in his eyes. There’s no way he would hurt me.”

  I stare at her, still not convinced.

  “You’re not the only one with a crush on me,” she says with a grin. “It’s going to be fine.”

  I take a deep breath as she kisses my shoulder and bounds out of bed. She’s wearing a pair of gray underwear that I can’t take my eyes off of.

  “Let’s have breakfast and we’ll talk about it after.”

  “I have a better idea,” I say as I grab her wrist and pull her back onto the bed.

  “And here I thought this was going to be a nice relaxing Saturday,” Julian says with a nervous look on his face as us four Bowen brothers stand in the valley on the ranch. Courtney is here too, although I begged her not to be.

  “It will be,” Logan says in his deep raspy voice. “Things are different now that he’s mated.”

  “Stop being a pussy,” Cameron snaps at Julian. “There’s three of us.”

  “Have you met his bear?!” Julian says with a look of indignation. “And it’s easy for you to say. Your bear is almost as big as his!”

  “He’s pretty calm now,” I tell them as I feel him moving around. He’s no longer pacing around angrily and trying to claw his way out like he used to do. I’m not sure if it’s a trick to fool me and let him out or if he’s just really this mellow. I guess there’s only one way to find out.

  “If he starts getting aggressive,” Courtney says, “I’ll protect you guys.”

  “You?” Cameron says, trying not to laugh.
