The Alpha's Virgin Witch (4 page)

He couldn’t let her leave.

“What do you suggest? I can’t stay here forever.”

“Why not? Your family is here.”

She snorted. “I can’t stay here. You’re all wolves,
destined to be together. I’m going to have to find other witches, and whatever
they call the men. There’s no chance of me ever finding something with
someone.” Her cheeks heated, and the scent of her pussy grew stronger.

“What are you not saying?” he asked.

“There’s no one here for me. You can screw half the
pack, and no one looks my way. I didn’t have a date to prom, and I can’t date.”

“You want to date?”

“Yes!” She covered her face with her hands, and he
noticed in the distance broken down trees starting to rise up from the ground.
Her emotions were linked to her powers, and she needed to learn to control
them.

“Then I’ll take you on a date.”

“What? No. I don’t want a pity date. I want an actual
date with a guy who’ll want to kiss me at the end—”

Cupping her cheek, Caleb silenced her with a kiss.
Stroking her cheek, he plundered her mouth with his tongue, going deeper. At
first she didn’t respond, but he was determined for her to kiss him back. He’d
spent many nights dreaming about her lips on his, and he was going to get a
response from her.

She touched her tongue to his, and everything within
his world seemed to fall into place. He didn’t know what she’d done, or if it
was any kind of magic at all. Lucy had always been different to him. She
interested him in ways that no other female ever had before.

Pulling away from her lips, he stared into her eyes.
“I want to take you out on a date.”

“If I say no?”

“Then how about I persuade you?”

“How would you do that?”

“We go out on a double date. I date you, and Guy dates
Bianca.”

She shook her head. “No. He’s going to hurt her.”

“They’re mates, Lucy. Bianca’s wolf calls to his, and
if she wasn’t so submissive, she’d have been mated to him already.”

“I’ve got to protect her.”

“By going on a date with me and Guy, you’ll be
protecting her.”

“I don’t trust you.”

“Yet you’re the witch who can impale me any time. I’ve
got a lot more to be scared of.”

Lucy snapped her spell book closed. “No. This is crazy
and insane. I want to go out on dates, and have fun. You’re just pacifying me.”

“Then how about we make a deal?”

“A deal?”

“You stay in Wolf Valley, learn your magic, and I’ll
be here to keep an eye on you. In return for you staying with the pack, I’ll
date you.”

He didn’t want her to leave.

“I’m not going to make a bargain with you to date me.
Do you know how wrong that is?”

“I want to date you.”

She got to her feet and started yanking on the
blanket. “Please, you’ve got the entire pack at your beck and call. You don’t
need me, nor do you need to date me.”

“I’m not joking around. I want you.” He got to his
feet, standing up close against her. Wrapping his arm around her waist, he
tugged her close. “So how about I show you?” He pressed his rock hard cock
against her, and her eyes grew wide. Pressing against her, he ran his hand down
to her full ass. This was another reason that set her apart from the pack. She
was all curves with large tits and a full, rounded ass. He fucking loved her
body.

Most of the pack were slender as they had a fast
metabolism. There were a few wolves with large curves, like Bianca, but most of
them were slender with no tits to speak of.

Caleb love tits. He loved them big, and just by
holding Lucy, he knew he’d love fucking her.

There was that feeling of being grounded again. Lucy
set his pulse racing, and yet her presence soothed his wolf. Most of the time
he was begging to get out, to run, to chase whereas Lucy calmed all of those
instincts, apart from two, the need to protect, and the need to fuck.

“Our deal?”

“Okay. I’ll take your deal.”

“Every day, I’ll meet you here, at this spot, and not
sooner or later. I expect you here by noon, no later.”

“I can do this by myself.”

He shook his head. “You’re not doing anything by
yourself. I won’t let you.” He pressed a kiss to her lips.

“I’m a witch.”

“And I’m a wolf.” He squeezed her ass before stepping
back. “I’ll be here to protect you so no one invades your practice.”

“You think I need to practice?”

“In order to succeed, you do. At the moment, you
wouldn’t make it out there.” He saw she was struggling with the decision. “If
you can’t do this for yourself, then do it for Bianca. She and Guy, they’re
destined to be mates. You can’t stop her from being with him. In time, neither
of them will be able to deny their need for each other.”

“How long has Guy known?”

“Long enough. Do this for her,” he asked.

Over the years he’d seen that Lucy would do anything
for Bianca, even hang out with a guy she didn’t like for her.

“Fine. I’ll go and see Bianca.”

“I’ll meet you tonight at seven. I expect you both to
be ready.”

Chapter Four

“Do you really want to go out with them?” Bianca
asked.

Lucy smiled over at her friend. Adele and Kyle were in
the kitchen talking about some pack stuff while they waited for Caleb and Guy
to knock on the door.

“I don’t want to go out with Caleb.”

“Then why did you agree?”

“You like Guy, right?” she asked, seeing her friend
blush at the question.

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t have to worry about the answer.”

Bianca frowned. “I don’t know what I feel.”

“Try, I won’t laugh, and I won’t judge. This is you
being able to do and say what you like.”

She heard her friend sigh.

“I don’t know. Thinking about him now, it scares me
that I’m going to be with him tonight. When I’m with him, something seems to
shift inside me, and I don’t know what to do with myself. My body, it comes
alive. I can’t control it, and I want to be with him. Does that make any
sense?”

“It does.” Lucy thought about Caleb like that. Today
when he was touching her, he was setting her body aflame, but she wasn’t
afraid. She missed that, she really did.

Biting her lip, she stared down at her hands. Being
around Caleb was going to be a kind of torture in itself. She did find him
attractive, and the fact he knew that didn’t help. He made her nervous,
excited, and thrilled to be with him.

“What about Caleb? Why do you want to date him?”

“He asked me.”

“That’s all?”

“Yeah. It’s not like anything can happen between Caleb
and me. We’re completely different.”

“Opposites sometimes attract.”

“A witch and a wolf? I doubt it. He’s probably dating
me as a favor to his dad or something. This has nothing to do with me.” Even as
she said the words, it cut deep. She wanted someone to love her, to adore her,
and to fall for her. Lucy wanted want her own parents had. Her own life
confused her. She had two sets of parents. The first pair she didn’t know, but the
second was Adele and Kyle. They were her mom and dad.

“It could happen. There’s no rule to state that he’s
got to mate to another wolf.”

She laughed. “Look at the pack, Bianca. There’s only
wolf mating with wolf. It’s okay, really. In time, I’ll go and find my own guy
from my own kind.”

Someone knocked on the door, and she got to her feet
to answer it, happy to be doing something. The more she sat and thought about
how alone she was, the harder it was for her to not cry. For too long she’d
been by herself, and she didn’t want to be anymore.

Opening the door she saw Caleb and Guy dressed in
jeans and plain white shirts. They both filled them out well, but her gaze was
on Caleb.

“Are you going to invite us in?” Caleb asked.

“She is. Don’t be rude, Lucy,” Adele said.

“Sorry, Mom.” She made sure there was enough room for
them to come inside. Bianca had entered the room, and Lucy watched as Guy went
straight to her. The mystical aura was between them again, and she couldn’t
help but watch. The power was unlike anything she’d seen. Their energy pulled
toward each other, and tilting her head to the side, she watched both as they wrapped
around each other. Their wolves were trying to grab each other, and Lucy
couldn’t help but smile.

A hand waved in front of her face, and she blinked
away the image.

“Are you okay?” Caleb asked.

“Yes, I’m okay.” She couldn’t tell him what she’d
seen. The powers that had been dormant inside her were growing fast, and she
was terrified. No one in the pack understood what she was going through, and
she didn’t know who to turn to. There was no one in the pack with powers.

“Hey.” Caleb caught her face in his hands, and the
fear building within her stopped. “That’s it, look at me, and take it easy.
Nothing is going to hurt you. You’re with me now. You’re safe.”

“I’m safe.”

Seconds passed. She didn’t know how much time actually
passed, only that it did. With each second, she grew just a little calmer, and
staring at him helped.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll take good care of her,” Caleb said, smiling at
both of her parents.

She looked up to see they were both staring at her
with concern. “It’s nothing.”

“You’re sure?” her dad asked.

“I’m sure.”

“Okay, have fun, and enjoy the night.”

They followed Bianca and Guy out of the door. She saw
Caleb’s car at the end of her long driveway.

“Where are we going tonight?” Lucy asked.

“We thought going to the human town would put you both
at ease,” Caleb said.

She glanced over at him as he moved toward the main
passenger side. Guy was already letting Bianca into the backseat. Caleb had
picked the human town for Bianca. If they had taken their date at Wolf Valley,
they’d encounter no end of Guy’s conquests. She’d spend the night as a
bodyguard to her friend.

“Okay. I can sit in the back with Bianca.”

“No. You’re sitting next to me.” Caleb opened the
door. “Get in.”

“You’re being a little rude.”

“I’ve got to be. It’s the only way you’ll learn.”

She chuckled even though what he said was rather
insulting. Buckling up her seatbelt, she flicked down the visor, and checked on
her friend in the back. Bianca was looking out of the window, and Guy was
looking at Bianca as if she was his entire world.

I want that, and I can’t have it.

Caleb broke through her trance by grabbing her hand, locking
their fingers together.

She tried to pull her hand away from him, but he
wouldn’t let her go.

“This is all part of being on a date.”

“Holding hands?”

“Yes, I’m the expert. You are not.”

“Exactly how many women have you dated?”

“Does that matter?”

“Of course it does.”

He smirked.

“Come on, wise ass, how many women have you dated, and
that doesn’t include women you’ve screwed.”

“And what do you allow for an actual date?” he asked.

“There has to have been dinner, talking, and maybe
even dancing.” She rested her head against the chair. “That goes for you as
well, Guy.”

“What?”

“How many women have you dated? No lying.”

The car went silent, and she saw Bianca was no longer
staring out of the window.

“Well, I don’t hear you answering,” Lucy said.

“Fine, we’ve not dated, okay?”

Lucy chuckled. “Don’t try to tell me that you know
more than I do. You’re a virgin here just like me.”

“Yeah, but I’m only a virgin on the whole dating
thing. I’ve got everything else covered.”

Her cheeks heated as he pressed a kiss to her hand. What
was it about this guy that was calling to her? She didn’t know.

The rest of the drive went by without any event or
meaning. They all talked about the latest television series they’d been
watching. She loved watching Bianca come out of her shell as they all talked. There
might in fact be a chance for her friend and Guy. She would still kick his ass
if he hurt her. Lucy didn’t like the thought of anything happening to her
friend. She loved Bianca like a sister.

Caleb parked toward the back of the lot so no one
would have the chance of caging them in. Climbing out of the car, she waited
for Bianca to get out when Caleb took hold of her arm.

“The point of this being a double date is you’re with
me. I’m not dating Guy. I’m here for you.”

“And I thought you and Guy were a beautiful couple.”
She rested her head against his shoulder, loving the sound of his laugh.

“You know you shouldn’t hide who you are.”

Lucy tensed up, pulling away. “What do you mean?”

“This playful side of you. I like her, and I’m more than
happy to play with her.” He gripped her chin, turning her to face him. “Don’t
hide from me.”

“I don’t know you.”

“Then it’s another good thing that we’re dating.
During dates, we get to know each other.”

“We do?”

“Yes. Like, what is your favorite time of the year?”
he asked.

She frowned. “It’s Christmas, why?”

“I love summer. I don’t have to wear as many clothes.”

Unable to contain her laughter, she hugged him a
little tighter. “You’re interesting, Caleb. You shouldn’t hide that.”

“From you, I won’t.”

****

Finding the booth in the bar hadn’t been a problem.
Caleb had been to the bar many times as he loved their fried chicken and hot
wings. What he didn’t like was how many people were actually in the bar. His
wolf was pushing forward, and every protective instinct was coming out. He
didn’t want his woman put in danger, and right now, he couldn’t guarantee her
safety.

“You okay?” Guy asked.

“Yes. I’m fine.”

Placing his arm across the back of Lucy’s chair, he
listened as she and Bianca talked over the menu.

“I can recommend the wings and the fried chicken,” he
said.

“Is that all you eat when you come here?”

“Pretty much.”

“It’s all he eats anywhere we go,” Guy said.

“I’d like the chicken Cobb salad. Do we go to the bar,
or does a waitress come here?” Bianca asked.

“The waitress comes to the table, takes our order.”
Guy leaned over Bianca’s shoulder, reading from her menu.

“What do you want?” Caleb asked.

“I don’t know. I like the sound of meatballs and
spaghetti, or the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes.” Lucy licked her
lips, and he couldn’t help but imagine what those lips would feel like around
his dick, which thickened at the thought. He wanted to be inside her. He wanted
to fuck her, to take possession of her pussy, and surround her with his scent.

“What are you thinking?” she asked.

“Nothing. I don’t need to look at the menu to know
what I want.”

“And what exactly do you want?”

“I want my fried chicken.” He stroked a finger down
her arm, knowing he wanted damned more. She was firing his blood, making him
crave stuff he’d never craved before.

They were interrupted by the waitress.

After they gave their order, Guy took his signal to
take Bianca away from the table. The couple went to the dance-floor.

“They’re destined to be together,” Lucy said.

Her arms were folded as she looked toward the dance-floor.
“You really do care about her, don’t you?”

“Of course. She was the only one who was willing to be
friends with me. She didn’t care that I was human, and later on, she didn’t
care that I was a witch.” Lucy shrugged. “We’re together forever.”

“If you leave, she will try to follow, and it will
torture her wolf.”

“I’m not going to.”

“She loves you as well. It will hurt her for you to
leave.”

“Are you trying to get me to stay?”

“That depends.”

“On what?” she asked.

“Is it working?”

She released a sigh, and Caleb looked toward the dance-floor.
Guy had gotten Bianca into his arms, and the couple looked sweet together.
Bianca was tense, but his friend was showing a great deal of restraint, which
surprised him.

“It is. I can’t let her leave. If you could see their
aura, it’s magical.”

Turning back to Lucy, he saw the wonderment dancing
within her eyes, and truly wished he saw what she did. “You can see the power
that binds them together?”

She nodded.

He looked at Lucy, wishing he knew what she was
thinking. Reaching out, he stroked her cheek with the back of his fingers,
touching her. He couldn’t stop. For so long he’d been watching her from afar,
always wondering what it would be like to be close to her. Now he knew, and
there was no turning back.

“Are you having fun?” he asked.

“I’m a little bored, but Bianca’s having a good time.”

He wasn’t about to have Guy win this. Leaning close to
her, he captured her lips, sliding his tongue into her mouth. She moaned,
putting her hand on his chest, and pulling away. “What are you doing?”

“We’re kissing.” He licked his lips. “It’s all part of
the dating process.”

“You know you’re strange, right.”

“
I’m
a
little strange? You can see auras. What does my aura say?”

“You’re an ass.”

He laughed. “And you want this ass.”

“No, I don’t.”

Pressing his nose against her neck, he took a deep
inhale. “You’re protesting too much. You forget that I’m a wolf. I can scent
how much you want me. Your pussy is completely wet, and you smell so good.”
Touching her thigh, he stroked up and down. The scent of her arousal grew
thicker, and his mouth watered for a taste. “You wanted to date, Lucy. I’m
starting to think you want to fuck as well.”
