Chapter Six

Elijah Asminioslykos

Ever since I first saw her, I liked her, then when I became a wolf, I knew she was mine.

My mate, my one and only, my heart and soul, Mine.

Tonight, on a full moon a blood moon too. I knew this was my chance to at least start to make her fall for me to prove my worth, so against my father's orders I let her out to shift and satisfy her hunger for blood for a while.

When I ask her to shift, she strips first and just a brief glimpse of her naked body made me get painfully hard. Then my wolf takes over just barely giving me enough time to save my clothes.

Then she walks up to me in her wolf form and nuzzles me and my heart bursts. I try to convey my feelings with affectionate muzzle licking and she seems to enjoy it.

Then she turns around and begins to run which turns on my predators' instincts to chase her just like she knew I would, so I do.

I throw my head back and howl expressing my joy and clear intent to her (and probably everyone in a ten-mile radius), then I run after her. I tear down in the direction I saw her go and go as fast as I possibly can enjoying the feeling of the wind rustling through my fur and my muscles starting to strain.

I catch onto her scent and not long after sight of her (not necessarily that hard in a mostly open desert). I chase her down and she is fast almost faster than me.

Almost.

She tries to shake me off turning jumping then she runs around a small hill and then I jump over and pounce on her knocking her over.

Then she growls playfully, and our wolves start play wrestling and she ends up pining me down on my back then we shift back into our human forms. Then she lies down next to me with her head on my shoulder.

After a few minutes I ask, "Well, I was planning on taking you to a bar to find your victim for a blood meal but now I think I want you to drink from me."

Alcmene Argent

I stare at him incredulously but my vampyre lurches to the surface and I can feel my fangs popping out excitedly from my gums.

We need blood eventually and mate blood tastes the best there is a reason we call them blood-mates.

My vampyre reasons. What I want to say is hell no or let's just go to a bar but what comes out of my mouth is "Are you sure?" in a soft questioning way one would speak to a lover that sounds nothing like me.

He nods his head never breaking his gaze away from me staring intensely into my eyes his gaze full of trust and…nope not saying it, way too early for him to feel that.

I hesitate for a moment but the way he looks at me like he really wants it and me and my hunger rising-even though I drank like yesterday and two guys-I know it was a losing battle. So, I gulp then lie down on top of him and lick his pulse point at his neck and he groans and relaxes into me, so I take a deep breath and bite down hard.

Instead of him jumping away or at least flinching he groans louder and rolls his hips into me, effectively grinding his erection against me. Then I start to suck some blood and I moan despite myself, but I cannot stop myself, his blood tastes like heaven.

He tastes like pine and mud which doesn't sound appealing but trust me it is. I started to consume his blood trusting my vampyre not to drink too much. The whole time he groans and growls while grinding into me.

When I finish, he kisses my bloodstained mouth and after his lips are red with his blood. He grabs my hips pulling me flush against him as he sticks his tongue into my mouth.

Then he starts to play with my breasts massaging one and pinching and pulling the other's nipple and I moan against his mouth before he breaks the kiss the put the other nipple into his mouth to suck.

I let my head fall back and moan then whimper as his finger trails down between my thighs and finds my clit and starts to circle it then the finger is gone but only for a second, before he slips that finger inside me after that it only takes two minutes before I come from that.

Then I grab his cock and stroke it until he almost orgasm's but then stop touching him. "You only get to come inside me." I whisper seductively next to his ear, and he shivers.

When she bites down on my neck, I naively expect at least some pain, but I get the most intense pleasure I have ever felt making my dick impossibly harder and my wolf snarling louder to claim her.

Mate! Mine! Claim what is ours!

Then she sucks and even more pleasure hits me my eyes rolling back into my head and my hips involuntarily grinding against her clit as well as some thoughts of her sucking my dick appear in my head.

When she finishes feeding, she sits up a little and the sight of her with my blood dripping off her fangs and down her lips dribbling down her chin staring at me with desire filled eyes almost makes me come.

So, I grab her hips and bring her down to kiss her then I start to play with her breasts sucking one nipple before slowly dragging my finger down between her thighs and rubbing her clit until she comes. Then she starts to stroke my cock but before I come, she whispers something into my ear. "You only get to come inside me."

It takes me a couple of seconds to process what she said with my lust filled brain but that comment just turns me on more. She grabs me and lines me up but only puts the tip of me in teasing me a bit.

But I cannot wait any longer, so I grab her and thrust inside her. Thankfully, she is so wet, so I do not hurt her and though she is tight she is not a virgin that makes my wolf angry, but I save it for another time. She feels perfect taking me perfectly fitting around me like a glove and I resist the urge to come wanting to wait for her. This position I find strange but definitely still pleasureful and even though I am an alpha, my wolf will let my mate be on top and dominate though if she does not move, I am not sure how long that is going to last.

Thankfully, she gets used to my size and starts to ride me going up and down on my dick, slowly twisting her hips and grinding down on me but soon starts slightly increasing the pace and strength of her thrusts until eventually she is almost rising off me before slamming back down fully impaling herself with me making my eyes almost roll back in pleasure as my hips thrust up as she comes down further onto me her pussy clenching around me and her wetness soaking my cock and pulling it inside of her deeper.

Then she is engulfed in flame, but the flame does not hurt either of us and she grabs me as she sprouts wings and starts to fly high in the air. Then I kiss her neck and stroke her wings and I know she likes it when she starts to thrust her hips harder and every thrust, she becomes tighter and tighter until it is almost painful. The base of my cock starts to tingle and burn and I dig my fingers into her hips and pull her further onto me and thrust until it was impossible to go further. That final thrust set her off and her pussy spasms and clenches around my dick and I come with her throwing my head back.

When we come, we both shift our canines to fangs and bite each other's neck. Then she brings us down and we collapse her on top of me both of us spent and panting. I stay like that for a while wishing I never had to go back.

When we regain our breath, we realize that it is almost morning. Then she pulls off me and I almost whine at the loss but she groans informing me of her similar displeasure.

"We can't go back like this. We both smell like sex and each other, even to humans."

Alcmene asks worriedly and I realize she is right even if we can hide our mate bites even a human could smell what we had done.

"Oh yeah, and I think I can hide the bites with my magic, if not I can use coercion on everyone that see's it but try and keep it covered." She informs me, "and thank you, for everything."

Then she smiles and her body is engulfed in flame with fiery wings before taking my hand and lifting off. I know she is not running away because of her siblings still at the WCI, World Cure Investigation, so I let her.

Finally, I see her plan when she flies low and spots a lake before landing on its beach. Then she jumps in and starts to scrub herself until my scent and the scent of sex is almost gone so only, we can smell it not even other supernatural's in their human form because my scent is not on her skin it is in her blood bringing a wave of possessive pride through me and I smile to my face.

"What are you smiling about?" She asks teasingly.

I try and regain control of my face and scowl, but I only end up smiling harder. "You smell like me." I finally answer quite proudly.

She laughs making me gaze at her in wonder, and I can see that she likes me being possessive. Then she shifts and looks to me waiting and I shift too. Then we run back as wolves to get dressed and before I bring her back, she says "You cannot act differently to me around others, and nobody can find out. I am not ashamed of you, but they will use us being mates against us and neither of us want that. So, I understand and even encourage that you pretend to hate me, got it?"

And as much as it hurts, I see her logic. "Yes, but every full moon and every other time I get I am taking you out and possibly running away one day with your siblings of course." I negotiate

"We'll see," she answers me.

"I love you, mate." I tell her as I kiss her.

She looks almost shocked, but her human side probably doesn't believe me, but her beasts answer for her, "I love you too, compagno."

Then I give her a quick kiss again and bring her inside loosely blindfolding her knowing she is memorizing the path like I had hoped.

We reach her cave and put her in her cell and chain her drowning in guilt knowing the chain-not to mention the whole WCI is causing her pain.

I feel it for the entire day. I head to the guard quarters to find my post for today and hoping that Mé does not get caught and punished.

Then I head to work.

Alcmene Argent

When I first shifted, I was calm probably I should have freaked out that I was covered in fire for me or my mate, but I trusted my phoenix. Then I connect the dots and figure out that an avian, even phoenixes, comes alive from passion.

Or death.

What?

Hello, I am your phoenix and I said or death. A an avian comes out in passion but a phoenix can come out in passion or death because you would be reborn in flames.

Cool. Can I die?

Yes, but only by killing your mate and poisoning you with fire-bane or killing your mate then a god kills you.

What about Eli? Is he basically indestructible too, as my mate?

Yes, but instead of fire-bane his poison is wolfsbane and he will just reappear in a safe zone I do not know where just that magic will bring him wherever it considers him safest.

Then after we clean up and come back, I try to sleep for a bit and thankfully no one is awake yet.

I lay down and close my eyes trying to fall asleep. Even though I did not sleep at all last night I am not at all tired.

I just chalk it up to my supernatural sides and ponder my situation with Eli until I hear someone moving, getting up. I get unusually excited then worried that one of them will find out, but my beast side is quite proud, so I shake it off. I glance over and see its Persephone.

I slowly stretch and stand up, walk over to her "Good morning," I whisper politely greet her and she jumps startled.

"How are you feeling after yesterday?"

"Mé, you about gave me a heart attack." She catches her breath before answering, "I feel slightly different, but It is probably because I woke up early and you scared the shit out of me."

"Here quick strip when I changed, I got a tattoo that I never had before. Let me see if you do." I offer.

She hesitates, looking shocked but strips and with my enhanced eyes I look her over. I see nothing out of the ordinary and almost tell her there's nothing different but then something catches my eye on the back of her left thigh. There was a green tattoo of an apple with a snowflake or star in the middle it looked almost like a green gold.

"Did you ever have a tattoo?" I ask.

"Nope" She replies popping the 'p'.

"You do now," I inform her amusedly.

"What do you think I can do?" She asks curiously.

"I don't know, grow apples. Do you feel like there's something or an energy inside you?" She shakes her head.

"Hmmm, do you know what an apple with a weird star or snowflake might mean." I ask.

She appears to think before jumping up and answering, "That's the symbol of Persephone." She informs me.

"You have your own symbol?" I joke.

"Persephone was the goddess queen of the underworld, wife of the god Hades. She was also the goddess of spring growth, who was worshipped alongside her mother Demeter in the Eleusinian Mysteries. This nature cult promised its initiates passage to a blessed afterlife. Persephone has the powers of most Olympian gods or goddesses, including superhuman strength, durability, immortality, and resistance to disease. Only destroying a sizable part her body could kill her, though Zeus or other gods may be able to resurrect her.

She can alter her appearance, dark-haired in her Queen of the Underworld role, but blonde in her fertility goddess aspect. She can transport herself to other locations through Hades. Through size alteration or illusion, she can tower over her subjects in Tartarus. As Queen of the Underworld, she has some level of command over the spirits that dwell here. When not in the Underworld, she can influence the growth and vitality of plants over a large, undefined area."

She answers like reciting words from Encyclopedia.

My eyes widen and she shrugs, "I was a big fan of Greek mythology memorized almost everything there is to know about it." She answers sheepishly like it is not a big deal, she is a walking, talking Encyclopedia when it comes to Greek mythology. Then I heard someone standing up and turning around to see Matt still waking up.

"Strip." I demand.

"Good morning to you too," he answers, but he takes off his shirt before Persie stops him from dropping his pants, "First let us check his top half if it's not there then we'll suffer and let him lose his pants." she tells me nonchalantly even though I catch her blushing and staring at him.

"Find what?" Matt inquires after Persephone's suggestion.

"A magical tattoo," Persephone answered wiggling her eyebrows and fingers. We did not find anything anywhere on his body and Persie even checked under his boxers (though she seemed to be distracted so the accuracy might be questionable).

Then a guard walks in and tells me it is time to fight, so I get my uniform on, a black sports bra and black leather pants, and chained up then I get walked out on my silver chain leash like a Rottweiler. I would attack whoever it is, but A-it will not help, B-I will get to fight in just a little bit, and C-it is my mate, so I just comply grumpily but snarl and snap, flashing my fangs at anyone and everyone except Eli who I ignore. Or at least until he tries to touch me then I snap my fangs at his fingers as a reminder then we go back to mostly ignoring each other which hurts us both of us.

Eventually we get to the holding cell for the fights, and he locks me in with a guilty look which reminds me he still cares but we need to pretend. I then hear the deep booming voice of the announcer, "WELCOME FOLKS, TO TODAY'S FIGHT AGAINST, DRUMROLL PLEASE, THE NEW CHAMPION 'BLOOD WOLF' FROM JOHN LAWSON AND 'GIGANTOR' THE GIANT FROM RYKER DE LUCA. NOW, LET US BRING OUT THE FIGHTERS!"

And the crowd goes wild and between the announcer's voice and the crowd cheering I almost become deaf but thankfully I can tune them out quickly, and I shift getting ready for my battle. Finally, a guard walks in and tries to leash me but I growl and snap at him before swatting him against the wall.

Unfortunately, six more guards come in with lots of silver though they glare at me I smell their fear, so I walk proudly into the arena and stand near the center staring at the crowd before my opponent comes out and they were not kidding about him being a giant, he is like ten feet tall with impossibly large everything (overcompensating much, eh) and I try and figure out a plan for my match, "A fight is won in the mind before it is won in the ring" or something to that effect I read it somewhere (hopefully not out of my mom's old romantic fantasies)

I try to think about his weak spots, but he can easily defend them given his size but then my wolf makes an appearance.

Give me complete control, I have a great plan.

She states cockily but I trust my wolf, so I give her the metaphorical reins and fade away.

I later regain consciousness but do not take control but just watch as the crowd goes wild but then my wolf fades and I am in control again and I shift as I see two guards well their bodies so that way, I do not kill anybody else, for today anyway. Then they leash me and bring me back to my holding cell and I doze off.

Elijah Asminioslykos

Thankfully, my first task is to meet with Doc and get checked out so that way I have time to get used to being mated and hiding it. Then I have a break for the fights, and I head over to the main holding cell-well actually, the prison cell-to pick up Mé for the fights no matter how much me and my wolf hate it.

She comes easily which relieves me as much as it unnerves me, but I ignore it and do my job, appearing to ignore her though, mentally I am checking her through the bond constantly. She bares her fangs and scaring everyone away that comes close enough, which is so hot that I lose control and try to touch her, but she stops me with a warning growl and snapping her jaws at me-which is strangely erotic, but I know it is a warning.

Then I try to ignore her. When we finally arrive at the holding cell, and I lock her in give her one last look even though I am almost overwhelmed with the guilt, pain, and anger at leaving her.

I hang around near an entrance for the show and I see her opponent and all I can feel is fear. He is huge and I know Ryker, he is ruthless they will kill her. I see her unafraid, assessing him and preparing and though I know she is a great fighter I can't watch her get hurt.

But then I see her fight and I am awestruck.

She goes full wolf and destroys her opponent who I know was genetically modified specifically for things like this, but she kills him easily within half an hour with almost no effort or remorse then she shifts back and though buck naked is grinning at the crowd with her arms in the air, twirls, and her body lights on fire to show off for the people in the stands.

Then the guards come in with a chain and try to put it on her while she is still aflame. I chuckle a bit watching them try to hold her and try not to get burnt at the same time. It is hilarious.

Then I finally take pity on both and grab a chain tie it to her neck. Then I realized what I just did, I touched her while she was on fire in public. Hopefully, they will just assume I got special mutations or didn't notice.

So, I act naturally and ignore people's stares as I walk off and drag her to her holding cell.

Alcmene Argent

After the fire trick, Eli took me back to the holding cell where after everything today, I fell asleep second, I hit the ground and when I wake up, I'm in the main cell cave.
