Big Bad Wolf (5 page)

“So everything Gregor told me last night was true. I am a Dire Wolf,” Eleana said.

Steven nodded grimly. “That’s right.”

Getting up from the table, Eleana walked to the door like a sleepwalker. “Where are you going?” Pam asked, her voice thin with worry.

“Outside for a walk. I have a lot of thinking to do.”

“Will you be back?” Pam asked. Tears were welling up in her eyes.

Eleana turned around and looked at these people who were now strangers to her. “I honestly don’t know,” she said truthfully. “I’ll get back to you on that.”

Chapter 7

Eleana walked down to Seminole State Park where she’d first met the Dire Wolves. This is where she felt the most at home, among the soaring pines and lush grasses. This was even where she’d had her first kiss with a boy named Dan. But now everything, the life she had led, the family she’d been raised with, was destroyed. A huge empty hole filled her heart.

A faded green picnic bench sat alone under a cluster of trees. She climbed up and sat on the tabletop, scanning the empty park around her. At least she thought it was empty until she spotted a huge black wolf prowling among the trees. He was larger than any werewolf she ever seen and he was different, having shorter legs and a stockier body. Most impressive of all was his sheer size. He had to be around a hundred and seventy pounds, unheard of for any werewolf she knew.

Before she realized what she was doing, she moved off the bench and headed in the wolf’s direction. The wolf started, suddenly aware that he had been spotted, but seeing who it was, raised his head and perked his ears.

So this was what a Dire Wolf looked like in their natural form. He was a stunning vision and as she moved closer she could see the exquisite details of his fur. Although the primary color of his coat was black, it was frosted with areas of the most striking silver especially around the neck and face. The wolf stalked closer, head low, watching her with cool blue eyes.

“Gregor?” she whispered as if uttering a prayer.

The wolf wagged his tail and panted, displaying that universal look of joy all canines had. And deep within her body something wonderful was happening.

Like waking from a deep dreamless sleep Eleana was suddenly aware of everything around her. The woody perfume of pine needles and compost stripped away the agony inside her and washed away all the confusion, hurt and pain. Unshed tears threatened to escape her eyes.

“They told me the truth,” she said to the wolf. “You were right.”

The Dire Wolf moved a few steps closer, licked the sides of his mouth and whined.

“I want to change, Gregor,” she said as her heart swelled in her chest. “I want to…” she let the words drift away on a spring breeze.

Gregor transformed into his human form towering over her, filling her with his commanding presence. “Then surrender to your instinct, Eleana. Surrender to me. Become the shifter you were meant to be.”

Eleana rushed into his arms, pushing her lips into his with eager desperation. She wanted to savor every second of this new and exciting rebirth. Running her fingers into his thick hair she smiled against his lips as a great and terrible knot untied within her. She broke the kiss and stared into his rugged face. “I’m sorry I didn’t believe you.”

“None of that matters now, my dearest. All that matters is your new life with us.”

Gregor’s soft lips demanded her mouth, parting her lips with patient insistence and sliding his tongue in to caress hers. He was so big and manly that she felt small and vulnerable in his arms. Not a common feeling for a woman six feet tall. A euphoric thrill warmed her skin making her feel more alive than she had in the past thirty-two years. She welcomed his kisses, returning them with a passion that bordered on aggression. Desperate fingers glided into Gregor’s soft brown hair delighting her with its pleasing texture.

Gregor’s mouth freed her lips to explore and enchant, finding tender places along her throat to nip and tickle. His hands roamed, caressing her breasts on the outside of her shirt, daring to slide under the thin fabric to bring shivers of delight along her flesh. A new emotion was born within her. Something savage and empowering was tearing its way from the deepest recesses of her soul to come forth and live. It was stronger than anything she had ever known and its potent energy threatened her very sanity. Never had Eleana thought such desire was possible, but here it was like a wildfire within her, threatening to burn down every ounce of self-restraint.

She pushed him back gasping, trying beyond her ability to think this through. “I’m worried,” she whispered. “What if I change and try to hurt my family?”

Gregor smiled showing his large wolf teeth. “Don’t be afraid,” he reassured her. “The change won’t make you do things you wouldn’t normally do. All that will happen is that you will finally become a Dire Wolf. And this is only the beginning. A new and glorious life awaits you once we mate. Your new life will be richer and more fulfilling with not one, but three devoted lovers who will do anything for you. Let yourself go, Eleana. Let me guide you through your change.”

Fearful but excited, she nodded.

Gregor peeled her shirt off tossing it on the damp grass and crushed her body against his substantial chest. With a delicate tenderness she never would have believed him capable of, he traced the pink circles of her areola with his tongue. Taking the erect nipple into his lips he suckled her sending tendrils of desperate pleasure straight to her slick aching pussy. Eleana let out a gasp and cradled his head until the pleasure became so intense she couldn’t stand it anymore.

Wanting to please him, Eleana dropped to her knees, quickly fumbling with his thick leather belt and unfastened his jeans. Reaching inside, she pulled out the most enormous cock she had ever seen. Its long veined shaft was at least four inches around with a base much thicker than the tip. The swollen mushroom head was dark pink and glistened with Gregor’s hungry need. Eleana wrapped her hand around the shaft as best she could and stroked. She was about to put the monstrous thing into her mouth when Gregor stopped her.

“Don’t bother with that,” he said as he guided her smoothly down onto all fours. “I’m more than ready and so are you.”

As Eleana positioned herself on her hands and knees, Gregor stripped the rest of her clothes off, tossing them on the picnic bench nearby. Then his long, rough tongue ran the length of her slit. A devastating wave of pleasure rocketed up her hips into her spine to short circuit her mind. Lick after lick she surrendered a little more until there was no doubt this was what she wanted more than anything she could have ever imagined. She was enslaved by lust and the potent delights Gregor had teased out of her. He was the only man she would ever want from this day on. No other could touch her and make her respond like this.

Then he mounted her, moving up over her back but taking care not to rest all his weight on her. Persistent force came next as he worked his bulky cock into her saturated folds, burrowing into her yielding flesh and conquering her body just as he’d slowly conquered her emotions. A ribbon of pain came with the claiming and she whimpered in discomfort.

Gregor stopped his advance to allow her to get used to his size.

The pressure inside her pussy grew more intense as his cock swelled even larger within her. But just as she was beginning to grow anxious, a new sensation took over. Profound lust and the most exquisite pleasure fused together sending her into another heady bliss. Gregor’s massive arms wrapped around her waist holding her body against his vigorously pounding hips and kept her from moving. But Eleana wouldn’t have dreamt of pulling back from him for the entire world.

A tiny animal whine drifted up into the trees and at first Eleana thought it had come from Gregor. But the sound had been too light and feminine for him. No, it must have come from her. Then she looked down and saw her arms were covered in stunning silver-gray fur. Her change had come just as he’d promised her. She had transformed, finally. A moment of terrible joy filled her center only to be overtaken by another heady wave of exotic pleasure. Time seemed to slow down as they shared this most intimate connection. Her womb fluttered as another climax tore through her and Gregor let out a deep, resounding howl. Then he withdrew and she collapsed on the ground panting.

The forest was like a great mother; comforting and full of vibrant energy. Gregor had always thought of the rugged wilderness as his true home and he wanted more than anything to help Eleana experience all of it. Once they had mated, Eleana was delighted to discover she could finally change at will and didn’t waste a moment trying it out. She was a breathtaking Dire Wolf bitch with a thick gray coat laced ever so subtly with hairs of brilliant silver. Gregor could honestly say she was the most beautiful creature he’d ever seen. Gazing at her with human eyes made his lonely heart ache to be buried inside her again. But there was plenty of time for that.

He joined her in wolf form, loping off into the woods, stopping occasionally to chase a field mouse or deer, or any other prey bold enough not to hide when he and Eleana came around.

With his new she-wolf close behind him, Gregor ran through fields and streams, often stopping to make sure he hadn’t lost Eleana to the enchantment of the forest. They loped along until their tongues lolled out of the sides of their mouths and they were parched with thirst. Then they rested by a tiny stream, lapping at the water and enjoying each other’s company. Gregor glanced up at the sky and was saddened to see the moon low as morning approached.

They both changed back into their human forms. Gregor recognized where they were. The welcome sign sat to their left and the parking lot where his bike was parked wasn’t far off. They made their way back hand in hand.

Standing next to the motorcycle, Eleana playfully pulled at his beard. “Why do you grow this thing so long?” she asked. “It makes you look mean.”

“Maybe I want people to think that.”

“You don’t strike me as the kind of man who gives a crap what anyone thinks,” she said.

Gregor replied with a sinful kiss. “You’re beautiful, Eleana.”

She smiled and ran her tongue along her newly enlarged canines. “Why thank you, kind sir,” she said with a curtsy. “You know, that was the most fun I’ve ever had on a date.”

Gregor smiled. He liked her humor. It had been so long since anyone had been able to amuse him. “I’m pleased.”

She chewed her lip, her eyes twinkling with young mischief. “So how old are you?”

“About ten thousand years old.”

Eleana stared at him stunned. “You’re joking.”

“No, I’m not.”

“That’s really…um, wow.”

He toyed with a lock of her hair. “Are you thinking I’m too old for you?”

“Well,” she said, then wrapped her arms around him and kissed him on the neck. “Maybe just a little.” She grabbed his beard again and pulled him down to kiss her. Their tongues caressed each other’s for a few hot moments. Then she added, “Why don’t we stay out here all day? We can run around, hunt things, make love, hunt things, run around…”

Gregor leaned his head back and laughed. “I would love to, my beauty, but there are two other men in our pack who are desperate to meet you.”

Eleana’s lovely brow wrinkled with worry. “What if they don’t like me?”

“They will, I know they will. You’re everything we’ve been hoping for. I think all three of us fell in love with you that day you held us at bay with a crowbar. And now, you’re one of us, our new chance at life and our savior. You are our Eve, Eleana.”

“I’m very flattered but it’s a lot to take in,” she said.

“That’s because you’re thinking too much. Just come back with me. Meet the others, and then we’ll see how you feel after that.”

“I shouldn’t trust you,” she said with an impish grin. “My old pack mates told me you were a dangerous man. Some even implied you were the original Big Bad Wolf.”

“I’m afraid there’s a lot of bad blood between me and them. Surely you don’t believe any of that nonsense.”

“But what about my old pack? Am I never to see them again? Are they going to become my enemies now?” she asked.

Gregor hadn’t thought of that. He’d just assumed she would be like the rest of the Dire Wolves and consider them dangerous rivals. But even though her old pack had hidden the truth about what she was, they were still the only family she’d ever known. He couldn’t expect her to abandon them completely.

“No,” he said carefully. “I don’t expect you to be their enemy, but clearly this issue will have to be resolved by a meeting between our two packs. Perhaps we’ll eventually come to an understanding.”

Eleana rubbed the back of her neck. Then she said, “Okay, I’ll go back and meet the other two Dire Wolves but after I do, I want time alone so I can speak to Steven in private. Agreed?”

“That is your brother? Steven?”

“That’s him.”

Gregor nodded. “Then I guess I have to agree.”
