Bloodlines of Old

SPOLIER TRIGGER WARNING*** There is a scene where someone forcibly has their child aborted. It is NOT GRAPHIC and only three paragraphs long. BUT if that is a disturbing element for you, please skip this chapter. I will make a summary paragraph at the beginning of the next chapter to catch you up.

This chapter has more plot than sex, but there will be sexier chapters in the future.

It would seem surprising that I awoke in the same bed I was captured into, but it wasn't. I was more surprised that I was naked, and lying half on Charlotte, our legs tangled and her arm wrapped around me possessively. I was even more surprised that her presence or possession, rather, felt like home. It seemed my necklace agreed as it tried to burn some knowledge into me. I looked up from the crook of her arm and took in her features closely now. I couldn't help but run a finger from the wear under her eyes to the confines of her lips. Those lips that had done deliciously terrible things to me. She startled me when she bit my finger playfully with a smile. I licked my lips but knew I had to retain my front of anger if I wanted answers.

"Are you gonna tell me why," I leaned up slowly on my elbow as I saw the war within her to let me, or not, "I want to punch you and suck your face right now?" She giggled and my heart soared in my chest. She clasped my neck with both hands and I sighed into the contact.

"It's going to be a few scary days for you," her face was serious now, and I sat up to get clarity from her contact. "But baby, I'm gonna be there for every second of it, I promise." I shrugged and ran a hand over my neck, flinching when it landed where she had bit me, "You leave a hell of a hickey," I was trying to keep the moment light, not sure that I could handle full on serious on top of all the other serious I had been dealing with. She leaned up and licked both sides of my shoulders as I shuttered and resisted the need to pull her against me.

"They are healing just fine mate," she let a finger trail to the top of my breasts and I grabbed her hand to stop the journey.

"Why do you keep calling me that? I don't even know you," I was getting more irritated with her presumptuous declarations.

"Don't you though," she traced my necklace, "can't you feel it, can you really deny this," she pulled my chin gently to face her, "mate." I glanced at her lips then looked away with a sigh, not wanting to surrender to her.

"So we have amazing sex, I still don't know you, or where the hell we even are," I needed her to meet me halfway, anywhere. She clasped both of my hands in hers and pulled them to her bare chest.

"Don't think, just feel," she leaned her forehead against mine as we both sighed and I tried to focus on the feelings under my hand. Her heartbeat was strong, almost as if It was something outside of her body, but the weirder part, it was in perfect time with mine. I tried to consciously change the speed of mine as we clutched at one other, faster, slower, hers never missed a beat.

"I don't understand," I stated, without the usual animosity. The evidence of her words was starting to stack against my defence.

"I know mate," she kissed me quickly, promisingly, "And I'm sorry we don't have more time, but I know you are strong enough for me."

"You are certainly stronger than me. How could you even say that, you're really fast and can hold me down without effort, how can I be stronger than you, or even close to it?" I didn't like her suggestion.

"Because I am the alpha, and you are my mate, my other half, you keep me sane, you keep me on my toes." She nuzzled my neck and although I knew it was meant to be distracting, I wasn't allowing myself to get lost in her again.

"We will make great leaders for the pack, they will honor you as they do me and we will-" I pushed her off totally, almost thrusting myself off the bed.

"I'm not a leader, I'm, I"m, nobody, you don't know me. I can't lead anyone, I can't be in charge of people, I'm not even good at being in charge of my life," I could see her impatience growing, yeah she was definitely used to getting her way.

"Well it would seem you don't have a choice," she got up and started pulling on a robe that was ornamental in design. It was a long black material that had seen better days, but the symbols on it commanded a presence of power that only added to her once she adorned it. It seemed a little too big for her, but the golden outlines and rune like scripture took enough attention away from the size to still convey its meaning.

"Luna has spoken, and we have both heard her call, our bloodlines are screaming for unification." Her pacing was the only indication that she lacked complete control in the moment as I pulled the silky sheet up around myself. "I told you I am sorry I didn't get to you before the bloodline awoke, and I will make it up to you forever, but they are waiting for us, and we need not be late." She stood at the bed now holding a hand out to me. I swallowed but looked away definiantly. I was never one to be controlled by anything. She took several moments to inhale and exhale audibly.

"I wished this would be done with your permission, with your joy, your hope, your excitement. But this will happen. I can only hope your wolf has more sense than you do," she grabbed me easily off the bed as I weakly fought her grasp. I stopped trying to fight her control, physically it was no use, so I tried to save my energy for fighting later. I hated that I felt safe in her arms, I hated that I enjoyed having her carry me, having my arms around her, and hers around me. She dragged my naked form down the large hallway and through the main door. When we were standing on the patio, I faltered as I took in the crowd awaiting us. She slowly allowed my feet to touch the ground, but didn't let go of me. I didn't fight her either, letting her control me was far better than whatever this crowd intended to do to me.

She spoke in tongues now that I thought resembled Gaelic, but I had no way of knowing as my eyes wandered over the large groups of men, women, and children disrobing with excitement at her words. My mouth was agape as her lips crushed into mine with a cheer that I anxiously returned the fleeting want with my own lips. She clutched my face and leaned in to whisper into my ear, "Just follow Luna, I can't wait to see your wolf," I shuddered at her words even though they meant nothing to me. She displayed my shoulders with a cheering roar from the crowd and more words in other languages. I was stuck in the moment, not wanting to do something against her that would incite the crowd before me as well.

Before I knew it, she was standing pressed against my back, naked with her hands roaming all over my body. I should have been embarrassed to be exposed in front of this crowd, I should have protested at her advances, I should have been mad, but I was intoxicated with her touch and the realization sent my necklace into action. Suddenly the crowd was in awe as my necklace blazed like a torch with no indication of energy. It gleamed like red lightning as if we were in some EDM festival.

"I knew this was going to be my first pack run," Nana's words echoed in my head as I stared at the crowd who revered the light as something akin to a God.

"Let us all not forget the sacrifices of those before us," Charlotte spoke loudly next to my ear, finally in English as her hands still roamed over my naked body and I struggled to not return her lust earnestly. "We honor the legacy of Gerald, the legacy of Callum, and we run free as Luna has decided it to be." One of her hands clutched my breast and pinched a nipple as the other wandered over my wet entrance with a shudder and moan from me.

"Let us rejoice in the mates we have found as I have found mine," her words sounded through gritted teeth as she rubbed the soaking folds between my legs and I whimpered against biting my lip and trying not to press harder into her. She bit down on my shoulder once more as she sped up her fingers in a tight circle and

I cam right there, naked on the porch of a stranger's house, as several other naked strangers cheered us on, and I screamed with pleasure. She had to hold me up as I convulsed and clutched her. When I gasped in for a breath I felt a power pulse through me. I felt tight in every part of my body and when I opened my eyes, everything looked the same, but brighter. Highlighted with yellows, blues, and grays, but brighter. Every movement each person took seemed to be highlighted, still in only shades of those colors, but somehow clearer. It was like watching a silent film, but in blue-ray. I could still see each individual thing I looked at, it wasn't a rainbow of colors, but it was still more crisp and I felt my eyes widen.

"That's it baby, let Luna guide you," I heard a growling request from the one behind me. I collapsed on the ground as she let me. I felt something prickly akin to adrenaline flow through me as my hands flexed without control and started to grow hair. I was taken aback at the sight, but powerless to stop it. I felt my body arch as I raised my head up and a large growl came from my lips, no, not lips, my snout. It felt as if every bone in my body was breaking and I tried to scream but only more growls and howls came out. Even though my sounds were deafening, the crowd's response was of more growls and howls that drowned out my own.

I couldn't pay them any mind as shocks from what would be felt as a stun gun rippled through me. I knew I was drooling now as I laid, no stood, on the porch before all these strangers. I huffed and could see my own snout forming from my face. I scratched at the deck, no, I ripped into the porch with claws. As the pain started to subside, I collapsed on the wooden deck.

A wolf nuzzled my side now and huffed into my neck. I rolled onto my back subconsciously and allowed the attacker to admire my body. My paws were light and my ribs were heavy. As the stranger nuzzled me, the moment I took in her scent, I knew it was Charlotte. And harshly, I knew I was a wolf. I allowed her smelling assessment until she licked my ear with her tongue. I yipped and licked her nose back. If wolves could smile, that was how I would describe Charlotte now.

Her red hair translated into a sable color that added power to her size. She was large even for a wolf, and larger than me as well. She leaned forward on her front paws and panted at me. I wanted nothing more than to play back. I rolled over quickly and jutted in her direction. I was met with a howl that tied pieces of my heart back together. She sprang with invitation and I followed suit.

Running as a wolf was exhilarating. Everything was tinted in three colors, but they were still so much clearer. And what I lacked in vision, I made up for with smells. I didn't know anyone in the crowd that had gathered, but I could smell each stranger as separate as colors would have been seen. Each one is different from each color I would see as a human. When I caught a whiff of Charlotte though, my entire being was catapulted to follow her trail.

As I pummeled into the forest outlining the house, I reveled at the feeling of dirt splaying between my toes, and my claws scraping into the cool earth with every stride. Each step felt like I was barreling into my future, myself. And it felt like Nana was riding on me, or with me. I could feel her presence, I felt whole. I smirked as well as I could in wolf's grin and energized my pace towards Charlotte. I thought I was fit as a human, but the power and excitement that compelled me to push on was the start of the reserve of what I felt I could do now.

As I pushed what my human side thought was miles, I wasn't even a bit tired. In fact the more I pushed on, the further I thought I could run. As I admired the information my new snout gave me, I couldn't help but revel in this power. I could tell how many rabbits had crossed the path I was running over, how many birds had excreted on the soil, how many snakes were in the population, how far away the next road was, where there was a creek. The information was overloading, but I still had one goal, find Charlotte. If she thought I was a force before, she was in for a surprise.

I came to a clearing and she was standing in the middle almost chuffing at my success in finding her. I strutted over leisurely to show her I could find her anywhere. She seemed to understand the sentiment but wanted to overpower me. Once I was close enough, she tackled me and we tumbled a bit between each other for a few moments until I was almost standing, but she had my neck in her mouth.

It wasn't a painful grasp, only one that requested submission. But I didn't want to submit, I wanted to fight her, show her my new power. She clutched a bit tighter as she mounted me and I submitted. I could tell myself I let her win, I could tell myself I wanted to submit to her, but truthfully, I wanted her to fuck me in wolf form.

As overwhelmed as I was at the new sensations of being a wolf, I was infinitely more curious what she could do to me in this form as well. Our human sides were explosive together, if our primal states took over, I was certain an orgasm now would result in death with a smile from me, and I was more than willing to let that happen.

I barely registered that the others were starting to fill out the space between our bodies and the forest in the clearing. As her body encompassed mine I whimpered in satisfaction and, submission. With her wolf form being taller than mine, we were both able to stand as she clutched my neck in her mouth. I shuddered at the motion as the sections where she bit my shoulder pulsed, and the necklace burned against my chest. With her front paws on either side of mine, I was confused when I felt something push into the entrance of my pussy. I couldn't help but thrust back into the sensation as it graced me.

As the flesh of her entered me I howled and laid my body down further in submission. The moment was met with excitement and enthusiasm from the others around us. I couldn't help but let the crowd of excitement bring me higher against my confusion as to who was really inside me now. I could feel balls slapping against my clit with each thrust as Charlotte clutched me tighter in her mouth. I shuddered and screamed as the sound of our echoing slapping permeated the field. I felt the explosion of sperm into my deep cave and I had another orgasm as a wolf.

As the flesh slowly extracted itself from me, I whimpered and fully collapsed. I felt a tongue lick up my pussy as I tried not to orgasm again at the sensation. As exhaustion took me over, I shifted back against control and was left with my back on the cold wet ground and a wolf still licking at my pussy. I shuddered and had a human orgasm in the face of our crowd that contributed to the convulsing sensation of pleasure running through me. I loved having Charlotte's wolf form fuck me in my wolf form, but I wanted her human form with mine now.

"Charlotte," I whimpered and clutched my hands over my face. Instantly she was back to her naked human form and rolled me on top of her as I fought off tears of confusion and joy. She rubbed her hands over my body as I slowly gave into her caressing. We rocked together under the moonlight as the sound of other pack members taking each other in throes of passion echoed around us. As I calmed down, I looked up into Charlotte's eyes.

"What's happening?" I couldn't stop the tears from rolling down my face now as she wiped them away with her thumbs and sucked the wetness from them.

"I didn't ask for this, I don't want-" she stopped my protests with a searing kiss. I returned her passion against the screaming confusion in my brain.

"I know mate, I know," she clutched my face in her hands with a few nods. "I told you I would spend the rest of my life making it up to you, but we didn't have time. We had to solidify our bloodlines." I nodded into her forehead not understanding what she was saying, but I trusted her words. "I love you," her tears started to show before my necklace screamed out a seraing pain of blaring red and I shoved her away at the pressure. There were layers of images that overwhelmed me through words from Nana that didn't make sense. I screamed and cried at the sensations as I tried to find my anchor with Charlotte again, but images of her dead body permeated me and I felt my soul split into pieces. She was limping in her wolf form, until her human form took over in a collapse of covered blood. Her eyes faded as I tried to get to her, but Nana was holding me back.

"Listen to the bloodline, follow the bloodline, follow your heart," I tried to reach Nana, but she faded as I was screaming into Charlotte's shoulder. I cried and didn't care that she was carrying me and I was clutching to her as she tried to make soothing sounds against my body. I fell into a mental state that wasn't aware of anything as I tried to rectify what I had seen, felt, and the reality of my life. I only started to take in where I really was when Charlotte laid me down in the bed, our bed. I cried harder at the realization that I hated her, for what she brought into my life, but also, that I, I, I think I loved her already. I knew I wouldn't be ok if our lives parted right now. But that was the last part of me that I was willing to submit to her vocally.

"Surely you feel our binding mate," I knew her gentle tone was meant to satiate the hollow valley building from my lack of control and understanding in this situation. But I revolted at her conscription. I pushed at her harshly and she let me. I stood off the bed and ran to the dresser looking for anything to wear. I couldn't look at her as I threw on some sweat pants and a t-shirt.

"This is, this," I couldn't look at her still. That didn't stop me from feeling the shift between us, and the shift of the valley I was digging between us. I finally was covered in clothes when I slowly turned back to look at her sprawled out on the bed naked. I wanted nothing more than to go back into her arms, to let her hold me as I slept. But I was too confused to let her knowledge and culture tell me what I should be doing. Even if that meant I was sick to my stomach with the thought of what I was about to do.

"I'm sorry, but you were," I clutched at the necklace Nana had given me, "and Nana," I pulled the necklace off my neck and threw it at her as she eagerly grasped it and held it as if it were the seed of the universe, "were wrong." I cried and took her in for a moment longer before taking off out the door. I was glad she didn't follow me as I clutched at my shoulders where I knew it would be hard to cover the

marks for work with even the most expensive makeup.

************

I expected her to follow me out the door, I expected her to take me back and convince me, but she didn't. When I walked out the house, I didn't know where I was. There was a man standing on the porch.

"Sorry alpha," he immediately knelt before me, "I didn't know to expect you." I was confused and started to walk down the steps.

"Can I drive you somewhere?" This man was earnest and eager. I strolled towards the passenger seat slowly.

"Can you, can you take me to my apartment?" I was hesitant about his complicity.

"As you wish Alpha," he instantly went to the passenger door and opened it for me. I nodded a fake smile to him as I seated myself and buckled in. The ride was quiet as I tried to trudge through the events of the past hours, had it really been that short of a time? The silence was welcoming as I wanted to find peace in my actions. It was jarring that we were only about twenty minutes away from my apartment. He stopped outside and I unbuckled myself. I opened my door, but paused when he spoke.

"My name is Ethan alpha," I glanced at him with a friendly smile, "please don't do this, she needs you, we need you." The sincerity in his voice put a lump in my throat.
