-Your one and only Pumpkin Head

Chapter 1

She stared at him in shock. Anyone but
him
. Please, let this be a dream! She shook her head in
disbelief. At five foot nine, he was shorter and leaner than all of
the male wolves in her pack. He wore a black leather jacket over a
tee shirt tucked into well worn blue jeans. The red tee shirt
emphasized his muscular chest and flat stomach. His short blond
hair was in disarray, as if he had worriedly run his hands through
it several times.

For the last six months, he had worried daily
about what the Last Hope pack would do to him once they found him.
How would they punish him? In his old pack, death would have been
instantaneous. Never would he have been given a chance to defend
himself. This Alpha seemed interested in the truth. Lucien and his
soldiers had questioned him thoroughly, without inflicting any
pain. Then they had brought in the woman and suddenly he knew
real
fear.

His brown eyes stared back at her, seeming to
be in shock as well. He looked at the pretty woman with shoulder
length brown hair and mesmerizing blue eyes. Only a few inches
shorter than he was, he looked directly into her eyes. He didn’t
miss the horror and disgust reflected in her eyes, the way her full
lips pressed together in anger.

“He already confessed to killing your
brother. Claims it was self defense, that Sean attacked him first,”
Lucien said quietly.

Lucien, her Alpha, leader of the Last Hope
werewolf pack studied her reaction. Then he looked at the wolf who
was handcuffed and standing between two of his soldiers, Nicolai
and Kane. He noted the way the wolf had suddenly tensed after
seeing Jackie.

“Jackie? Do you know this wolf?” Jackie shook
her head in denial. The man handcuffed before her was a member of
the Lost Souls pack. They were the
enemy
. She had never seen
him before in her life.

“Zane? Do you recognize her?” After a moment,
Zane nodded.

“She’s my mate.” There. He said it. And she
would
never
forgive him.

Chapter 2

Lucien swore. “Damn, it Lucien. Watch your
language! It’s not good for the baby to hear those words.” Lanie
frowned as she rubbed her belly. Just shy of being 8 months
pregnant, she felt as big as a whale. She moved to sit on his lap.
She wiggled a little, trying to get comfortable. She felt something
hard pressing into her and knew his mood had improved. She placed
his hand under her shirt, on her breast and he immediately began
caressing her.

“I realize you can’t kill him, why don’t you
just send him away?”

“It wouldn’t help. Once a wolf finds its
mate, it can
never
let go. If I send him away, his wolf will
make him come back for her, even if I threatened to kill him.
Jackie will suffer too. She may hate him, but because her wolf
recognized him as her mate, it will grieve her to lose him. The
sorrow will be so deep, she may choose death as a relief from the
pain.”

“What if you keep him in jail? Each would
know the other is there. Won’t that satisfy each wolf?”

“It’s not that simple, Love. Desire will
build as well. They will become sexually frustrated, to the point
of pain.”

“So? She can date other men and if he’s not
locked up, he can be with other women. Problem solved.”

“Once a wolf finds its mate, a touch by any
other is repulsive.”

“Masturbation?”

“Are you offering to let me watch?” Lucien
asked hopefully.

“Lucien! I meant, they could…you know….” She
blushed at the thought of him watching her while she masturbated.
He grinned and shook his head.

“Not the same. It would only be a temporary
reprieve. They are both in their mid twenties. Both are too young
to lose a mate. IF she could survive his loss, she might get over
it in time, but by then it will be too late for her to have
children. Our dwindling population needs mated couples to
repopulate, or my kind will die out. Besides, she may never meet
another male who arouses her wolf.”

Now Lanie felt like swearing. “Why don’t you
take a little break? I’m sure you’ll figure this out.” Lucien
kissed his mate and continued to caress her nipples. He moved his
hand lower, over her belly, down her thighs. His hand went under
her skirt and between her legs. He rubbed her clit through her
panties. “Why do you insist on wearing these things?”

She chuckled, “because I don’t want to flash
anyone!” Lucien growled in response, “I would
kill
anyone
who saw your pussy.” She believed him. Lucien was very possessive.
“That’s
exactly
why I wear them.”

Lucien pushed the panties aside and slipped
his finger inside of her. She was already wet. He inhaled deeply,
enjoying the enticing scent of her arousal. His thumb rubbed her
clit as he pushed his finger in and out, slowly, over and over
again. He pulled out his finger and she whimpered at the loss. He
nuzzled her neck then stood and placed her on her feet. He sat down
on the chair, put both hands under her skirt and removed her panty.
He lifted her onto the desk in front of him, pushed up her skirt
and spread her legs.

Lanie cried out when she felt his tongue lick
her. He licked her a few more times then he sucked on her clit. She
came close to an orgasm as he pushed his tongue inside of her
repeatedly. “Oh, Lucien,” she moaned then bit her lip. She slid her
fingers through his hair, tugging slightly. Too soon, he stood up
and unzipped his jeans. He slid into her easily, filling her
completely. She was enjoying the feeling of his thick cock inside
of her when he suddenly withdrew. Lanie didn’t have to wait long
before he was inside of her again. Over and over he pounded into
her, lifting a leg over his shoulder, holding her hips as he slid
into her. He rubbed her clit with a rough thumb and she orgasmed,
her entire body spasming. His body tensed then jerked three times
and she knew he had found his release inside of her. He kissed her
gently and pulled out. Lucien stood between her legs and helped her
sit up.

“Lucien, I have an idea....” She explained
what she had in mind.

“I hope you know what you are doing,” Lucien
stated as he kissed his mate before he left. She showered and
awaited the arrival of her guests. She thought about what she knew
about mates. Earlier, Lucien had explained that mates couldn’t hurt
each other physically. To purposely cause a mate pain, with either
words or deeds, was unheard of. She hoped this was true. She
thought about Lucien and
knew
it was true.

Chapter 3

Zane stared at the very pregnant woman in
front of him. He wasn’t sure why he was in the Alpha’s house. She
smiled and greeted him as if he were a distant relative. She showed
him to his room, pointed out some clothes and suggested he shower
before dinner. He showered and went back to the living room, where
he found her waiting for him. He stood nervously until she asked
him to sit next to her.

Jackie walked into the living room, her Alpha
behind her. She froze when she saw Zane, his hand on the belly of
the Alpha’s mate. He was smiling and had an odd look on his face.
Like he was longing for something….

Lanie laughed and moved Zane’s hand to
another spot on her belly. “There it is again! Did you feel it?”
She turned and looked at Lucien with a smile. Zane immediately
pulled his hand away and stood up, fully expecting the Alpha to
strike him for touching his pregnant mate.

“The baby is kicking up a storm! She must be
excited that we are having guests.” She looked at Jackie and patted
the seat next to her. Jackie sat stiffly next to Lanie, eyes
lowered out of respect.

“Hello, Jackie. I’m Lanie. Welcome to our
home.” Jackie thanked her and nodded.

“I believe you’ve already met Zane.…” She
noticed that Jackie refused to look at Zane, who was still standing
tensely.

“Zane, relax. Lucien isn’t going to hurt you.
He knows you were just feeling the baby kick.” Lanie tugged on his
hand, encouraging him to sit. Lucien nodded to Zane and he sat
down, lowering his eyes in submission. Lucien knelt before Lanie.
He touched her belly gently, smiling when he felt a kick. He leaned
over and kissed her gently, then stood and moved to sit opposite
his mate so he could observe.

“Do you have any nieces or nephews,
Zane?”

“No. I’m an orphan. I…I don’t have
anyone.”

“Awww. You poor thing! You’re not alone
anymore. I think I’m going to adopt you. What do you think Lucien?
You did say you wanted a boy…” She turned to look at Lucien, who
raised his eyebrow.

“What? At least you wouldn’t have to change
any diapers…”

“If you think I’m going to change any
diapers…you’re absolutely right. It’s the least I can do for my
precious mate,” he said lovingly. Lanie grinned at Lucien then
glanced at the clock and mentioned it was time to get dinner
started. Zane stood up and she held out her hand to him. He held
her hands in his and helped her stand up.

“Thanks. It gets harder and harder to get up
these days. So, who’s going to help me make dinner?”

“I’m a decent cook.” Zane replied, looking
nervously at the Alpha.

“Great, you’re hired! Come with me.” Zane
followed as Lanie led the way into the kitchen. He was delighted
with her kitchen. They discussed several options then he began
gathering ingredients. Though he was busy prepping dinner, he
noticed immediately when Jackie walked into the kitchen and sat
next to the Alpha’s mate. Zane wasn’t sure what terrified him more,
the Alpha, or his mate, Jackie?

Jackie sat beside the Alpha’s mate and
watched Zane as he prepared dinner. She had to admit, he was
interesting to watch as he sliced, diced, and sautéed dinner. He
was physically fit, as were most werewolves. The deep blue shirt he
wore clung to him like a second skin and she could see his muscular
shoulders and biceps. Did all men look that good in Jeans? His ass
filled out his jeans perfectly. She had a sudden desire to walk
over to him and grab his ass. She blushed at the thought and bit
her lip.
His ass
? Really? Since when had she
ever
looked at a man’s ass?

Zane stiffened suddenly as he caught a whiff
of arousal. He knew without looking that it came from his mate,
Jackie. He knew, because at the first whiff, his dick twitched and
began to harden. He became so distracted, he almost burned dinner.
He thought about the Alpha mistakenly thinking his erection was for
his mate, and it was instantly gone. Lanie watched both of them and
secretly smiled.

Dinner was an
interesting
event. Both
Zane and Jackie refused to look at anything other than their plate.
They ate silently, only pausing to respond to Lanie’s questions.
Lanie sighed. This wasn’t going the way she envisioned. They
refused to interact with each other. Yet she knew they wanted each
other. She could tell by their body language. Besides, Lucien
explained to her that mates’ desire for each other would only grow.
If only they would give each other a chance….

She laughed delightedly as she realized what
had to be done. Three pairs of puzzled eyes turned to Lanie. She
looked at Lucien and smiled.

“I think these two need a honeymoon…”
Lucien’s eyes widened as he realized what she was suggesting.

“Absolutely not! It’s
ours
.”

“But, Lucien….”

“Lanie…,” he growled warningly.

“Don’t be so selfish! They are pack and they
need help with this…this situation.” She crossed her arms.

Both Zane and Jackie gasped. Did she just
insult the Alpha? Zane didn’t think any male could hurt his mate,
but this was an Alpha, and he had just been insulted. In his old
pack, pregnant or not, the Alpha would have beaten a female for
such a comment. He knew he would fight to protect the pregnant
Alpha Bitch if he had to. He would certainly lose, but it would
give her time to flee. Oddly enough, he didn’t scent any fear
coming from the Alpha’s mate.
