Payment To the Alpha

James' POV

I was in the dungeons, sitting on the mattress and watching Avery sleeping.

I stroked her hair gently, and she started turning and groaning before flickering her eyes open.

"Hey there, beautiful." I said as I looked down on my beautiful mate.

'Oh, how I wish I could take your place for you.' I thought to myself as I looked into her big brown eyes.

"Hey there, handsome." She replied. It's nice to see the change in reaction from the last time I uttered those words when we were in the hotel room the morning after she had been drugged. To her, I was a stranger, but to me, she was home. Even if I refused to believe it or acknowledge it, she is my home and has been ever since I first laid eyes on her.

Avery sat up and. Her legs were behind me, and one of her hands rested on my leg and the other on my shoulder. She took the hand that laid on my shoulder and cupped my face with it, her eyes bore into mine, and a shiver went down my spine at the intense gaze. She looked down at my lips and then back at my eyes. Her eyes were enchanting, the brown color looked like honey, and the amount of love showing in her eyes was enough to thaw any frozen heart.

She turned my face more as she leaned in and gently placed a kiss on my lips, I need more, and I need to feel her. As she was about to pull back, I put my hand on the back of her head, stopping her, and kissed her with everything I had. She cupped my face with both her hands, deepening the kiss. Passion, love, secrets, lies, truth, dominance, and desire, everything I am and have went into this kiss, and I have never experienced anything like it.

My hands roamed down her back, and I pulled off her shirt. In a quick motion, I lifted her over me so that she was straddling me. Avery removed her hands from my hair, and she started removing my shirt. She lifted it up and pulled it over my head, we met each other's gaze, and I knew that I needed to be inside her. I need to mate with her and mark her. She was mine. There no way in hell that I was ever letting this girl go, human or not. She belongs to me.

I gripped Averys' legs and stood up, her legs wrapped around my waist. Using my speed, I pushed her up against the wall. As her back hit, she groaned for a second, but it only seemed to enthuse her. Her hands took a firm grip of hair as our lips met in an aggressively intense kiss. My tongue grazed her lips, wanting to enter. I squeezed her ass, making her moan as I stuck my tongue in her mouth, wanting to taste every part of her. Avery was naturally submissive, and she seemed quite inexperienced, I wonder?

"Avery, have you ever slept with anyone?" Her doe eyes faltered a little at my question, and she shook her head. Avery was a virgin. I carried her to the mattress and gently placed her down, and kept eye contact as I pulled off her sweatpants and placed featherlike kisses all the way down. As I moved my lips downwards, I placed small kisses near her sex, and she gasped. I pulled over her panties and moved my lips up to her mouth. As we kissed, I reached down and started rubbing her clitoris with my finger before carefully inserting one finger and letting her get familiar with the feeling.

"Holy shit." I groaned. She was so fucking tight.

Avery moaned, which was good and as I started pumping my finger in and out, making her wince from the stinging sensation.

"Shh, it's okay, baby." I cooed as I sped up my finger, and Avery's face relaxed, she started writhing underneath me, and the groans turned to moans of pleasure.

When she fully started enjoying herself, then I knew she was comfortable. I inserted another finger, stretching her out, or else I would never fit my dick inside her. I laid small kisses on her plump lips, and her hands reached up and took hold of my hair, pushing herself into the kiss.

"Oh my god! What is this?!"

"Just relax and let your body take control." She did as I said, and three seconds later, she was screaming in ecstasy.

"JAMES! YES!" Her body spasmed, and her eyes rolled back as her first-ever orgasm hit her. My dick was throbbing in my pants, and I felt like I was gonna cum just from pleasuring Avery, a feeling I have never felt before.

As she was coming down from her high, I stood up and took off my pants and my boxers, letting my growth spring free. The look on Averys' face was priceless.

"Umm...yeah, I'm not so sure anymore." She said as she bit on her nail and scrunched her nose. Werewolves are known to have larger muscles, better stamina, better looks, and also bigger genitals than humans, and to someone who has never had sex and maybe not even seen a dick, it could be quite intimidating.

I placed myself on top of Avery, placing my hand on either side of her head.

"I will never do anything that you're not comfortable with." I said in a low, hushed tone. Regardless of how badly I wanted to be inside Avery. I would never pressure her into anything.

"Is it gonna hurt?" She asked me with a worried look on her face.

"Only for a little while, and then you're going to enjoy it. It's up to you."

She nodded her head and cupped my face.

"This isn't how I excepted my first time to be like but, I want you, I know that much." She said and relaxed her body.

I searched for her opening and carefully slid in the head, holding it for a while.

"Was this the part that would hurt?" She asked me, and looking down at her closed eyes and her lips that were pressed together. I was praying for this to not hurt too much.

"No, this is." Then, with one fast and hard thrust, I broke her hymen, and Avery screamed out in pain.

"AAHH!!" I held the position for a moment, not wanting to inflict more pain than necessary.

"It hurts!" She screamed as tears rolled down her cheek.

"I know, baby, just relax and take your time. I won't do anything until you tell me to."

After a few minutes, Avery started to relax. I could mostly feel it on my dick because the blood circulation wasn't strangled anymore. Avery slowly flickered her eyes open, and I wiped her tears away.

"It's okay now." She said with the sweetest voice I've ever heard. I started moving in and out of her tight pussy, going faster with every thrust, and Avery didn't wince, not once. Instead, her eyes were glued to mine the entire time as she moaned and dug her nails into my back. I felt her core tighten and knew she was close to her climax, I was close to mine too, and Avery's head flew to the side, and now was a perfect time.

'Not yet.'

Blade interrupted.

Why?

I got no answer. Blade had blocked me out.

I lifted Averys' right leg and put it on my shoulder as I thrust into her, touching every part that she had to offer. I used my left hand to cup her breast, giving it a few hard squeezes, and with that, Avery hit her second orgasm, and mine wasn't far behind. A few hard thrusts and I was burying my seed deep inside of her as I let out a loud growl. I dropped her leg and leaned forward, placing a kiss on her lips as she panted for air with a smile on her face. I felt the blood drip down my back from where Avery had clawed with her nails.

"James," Avery said. I took a lock of her hair and placed it behind her ear.

"Yes, love?" I realized after I said it that this was the first time I had called her 'love,' and a sense of panic started growing inside of me. Avery took my face and caressed my cheek.

"James, I-"

"ALPHA!" Avery was cut off by Damon coming down into the dungeon.

"Alpha- Oh shit!" He quickly averted his face and turned around, Avery hid her face behind her hands, and I was wondering why the fuck we have the ability to mind link if no one uses it.

"I'm so sorry, Alpha, but you blocked us out, so we couldn't mind link you." I scrunched my nose and bobbed my head at the comment, which was quite accurate.

"Right, my bad." I quickly got up grabbed Averys' clothes, helping her get dressed before putting on my own.

"Is there a problem, Damon?" I asked as I scowled at him while covering Avery from his view.

"The Alpha of the Celestial Pack is on the phone. He wanted to talk about the rogue problems." The Celestial Pack? Alpha Nicholas is the last man I want to converse with right now, but fine.

"I'll be right there. Please tell Natasha to come down here."

"Wait, what? Why?" Avery asked, looking shocked. "She said she wanted to spend some time with you, catch up, and whatnot." I answered her, placing another kiss on her lips. "I have to go, but I will be back. If there's anything you need, just let the guard know."

Avery stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her hands around my neck, her eyes were filled with love and lust, and I knew if Damon hadn't walked in, we would be going at it again. The thought alone was making my dick begin to harden, and I could tell Avery noticed. The devious grin that was growing on her face proved it. She bit her bottom lip. This girl has to be taught a lesson.

I gripped a handful of her hair and pulled her head back, making her gasp. I placed kisses down her neck and up to her ear as I nibbled on her earlobe.

"Two can play this game." I whispered as I laid a final kiss on her lips, savoring her taste, before turning around and heading for my office.

"Hello?" I answered the phone in a bored tone. I wasn't in the mood for bullshit, and that's all the Celestial Pack was, bullshit.

"Is that how you greet an old friend Alpha James?" Nicholas quickly responded.

"Old was the word, Nicholas. Even your voice is raspier than it was last time we spoke. You called; what's the issue?" I wasn't in the mood to beat around the bush, my mate was waiting for me in the dungeon, and I had more important matters to attend to with her than sitting around talking to this old bag of potatoes.

"The rogues, have you had any encounters with them?" I was wondering whether or not to tell him about the rogues we had that was scanning the village. The Celestial Pack weren't our enemies, but they weren't our allies either.

"None whatsoever. However, I've heard of other packs encountering the same problems as you. So we're looking into it." I answered him, wanting to end this quickly.

"What about the three spies spotted near the village on your territory Alpha James?" His tone was low and serious. How the fuck did he know about that?

"Yes, they walked in on our territory and were disposed of. I wouldn't call that a problem, more like a mess that was cleaned up." I countered. This piece of shit was indirectly telling me he has a spy within my pack.

"Never pegged you for a liar, James." A growl left my mouth, and I heard Alpha Nicholas swallow hard on the other line. "You listen to me, Nicholas, nobody dares to set foot or paw onto this land for a reason, a reason known by even you, but if you're having trouble remembering, I would have no problem reminding you of who we are. Is that clear?" My Alpha voice was enough to make anyone submit, even a weakling of another Alpha.

"I'm sorry, Alpha, there is no problem. Thank you for your time." The phone line went dead quickly, and I released a breath. How a pathetic man like him could be alpha is beyond me.

'Alpha, ROGUES by the west border!' I got a mind link from Anna, one of the warriors, and started running out of my office and out of the house. The second I got out, I shifted and started running towards the west border. On my way, to my left, I saw my brother's wolf, Cesar, running as well. Blade jumped over branches and ran past the trees when we got to the west border it was a bloodbath.

Amber's POV

Jackson and I were talking to two of the border guards, Evan and Clara, checking if there had been any unusual movement or sighting, neither of which had happened.

Stella was starting to become anxious in the back of my mind, and I could feel the restlessness, she started growling and baring her teeth, and that's when I smelled it.

"Rogues." I informed the others, and all four of us shifted and communicated through the mind link.

'How many?' Jackson asked.

'At least ten.'

I couldn't smell more than ten rogues but the way Stella was growling and dominating told me there were more than ten, and then they came running in from different directions. How is this possible? Five rogues coming from the direction of the packhouse, five from north and ten from the south, there were twenty rouges coming from different directions.

Two brownish-grey ones were coming towards Stella. She quickly bit down the neck of one of them ripped his artery. She dodged an attack from the second one, which Jackson then jumped on. Stella rammed into one of the black rogues that were attacking Clara and took it by the neck, swinging him around causing him to fly into the trunk of a tree.

'Where the fuck is the Alpha?' Evan yelled through the mind link.

Jackson had two rogues on his flank, and one of them managed to bite down on his hind leg. Jackson had a death grip on the other one, so I quickly jumped on top of the one having a hold on Jackson and started clawing at his snout.

Five more rogues were seen coming from the north. They were bigger. Two of them were heading towards Evan but were rammed in by the warriors that had finally arrived. Three of them came towards Jackson and me, I bared my teeth and let out a warning growl, but it didn't do shit, one of them charged at us, but Stella dodged his attack. However, another one came just as quick, and we were thrown into a tree, as we tried to stand a sharp pain came from my throat and I saw one of the rogues having dug their claws into the back of my neck, Stella whined from the pain before regaining her composure.

She rolled over, letting his claws be dragged through her neck as she got back on her feet, a little unstable but strong nonetheless. Then, as Stella was about to charge, a loud growl was heard, and the rogue in front of us had his jugular ripped out clean.

I see my brother decided to join us. One by one, James started forcing their shifts and ripping their heads off, biting their necks or ripping them open. What ten warriors were fighting to accomplish, James did in under five minutes. There was a reason why nobody wanted to be enemies with our pack, James says that it's because our pack is strong and powerful. The truth is, our Alpha is strong and most powerful, but he never takes credit.

Blade took his stance, blood dripping from his muzzle, he lifted his head, and his chest was pushed out. His thick, black mane was blowing in the wind, and everything about Blade screamed authority and power.

One rogue was still breathing. Blade walked up to him, and the rouge shifted into a middle-aged man with a beard and blue eyes, late forties-early fifties.

'Bring him to my office. Damon, Anna, and Evan clean this up.'

My brother said in a mind link to everyone present, and Alex, who had shifted back, knocked the man out and threw him over his shoulder, and we started walking back to the packhouse. James, Clara, and I were walking in wolf form.

'Amber, I need to deal with this. Can you keep Avery company?"

'Of course, James, I would love to.'
