The Merciless Alpha(erotica)

Eve’s POV, 2 months later

This was my favorite time of the year, late October. The hard frost had come and gone, taking the flies and the mosquitos with it. The forest floor was covered in leaf litter, the trees nearly bare, and the early snow flurries were coating them with a thin layer of white. I was in the back yard of Alice’s house, the werewolves forming a protective perimeter well away from me and my alluring scent.

And I was miserable.

I didn’t have any mother to tell me what to expect, no friends or older sisters going through it at the same time to trade feelings with. Only one person in the entire world could go through what I was going through now, and all I had was some information Meghan had dug up in Vivian’s journals. It wasn’t much to go on.

Heat came on within about three months of mating, then again every year in the late fall to middle winter. Like canines, the purpose was to prepare the body for conception, and to attract the male for near-constant sex over a period of a week. Males became extremely territorial during this time, enough so that Alan had moved in with the other werewolves at the temporary house until my heat was over. Adam was attentive, annoyingly so, and I knew it was only going to get worse. The former Knights, the ones who had been mated before, they pulled me aside and helped me understand.

“How are you holding up?” I heard Meghan walking up to me, she had been up here for two weeks already. I had been under her direct supervision for the last two weeks, as she tracked my progress towards the heat.

The hormone therapy I was undergoing had my emotions all over the place, I was a real bitch at times, randy as hell at others, then a minute later I’m a sobbing mess in Adam’s arms. “I’m riding the rollercoaster,” I said. “I am hot all the time, even out here I’m sweating.”

“That’s good. Come on inside, we need to do the ultrasound and blood tests.” I got off the rock and walked back inside with her, wearing only shorts and a sports bra while she had jeans, flannel shirt and a light jacket. We went to her room, where she had set up the equipment she needed; a portable ultrasound, blood drawing supplies, and a portable blood analyzer. I knew the drill, having done this twice a day since she arrived. I hopped up on the bed, and she took a sample of my blood from my arm and got it going in the machine.

I pushed my shorts down out of the way, and she put the probe on my lower belly. “That’s so cold it feels good now,” I said as she moved it around in the jelly used to make sure she had good contact. We both watched the monitor; she was always teaching, just like how she learned, and it didn’t matter if I wanted to follow in her footsteps. She checked both ovaries, and pointed out the rapidly developing eggs. “Soon?”

“Call Adam in here please.”

I sent for him over the link and the door opened, I should have known he wouldn’t be far away. “Hi baby, everything all right,” he asked as he came to my side and took my hand.

“Everything is going perfectly,” Meghan said. “Let everyone know we have to leave for the Cities in the morning. It looks like she is about two days away from being ready to harvest.”

“Excellent,” he said. “You leave some eggs for us, though.”

Meghan just laughed. “Not TOO many, I don’t want you having a litter on your first pregnancy.” She wiped the gel off and I pulled my shorts up. “Off with you, I need to make sure all the other girls are ready.”

Since we made the decision to proceed, the humans had been placed on birth control pills to regulate their cycles, and Meghan was trying to time it so their wombs would be ready to receive the eggs as soon as they were fertilized and ready. I sent Alice in to see her while Adam led me back outside. “Are you all right with all this?”

“I need to be, Adam. It’s my destiny to create an entire generation of werewolves.” We walked to the woods, enjoying the cool weather. “The harvest will be no big deal, I’ll heal in a day. I’m more nervous about the heat.”

“We will be fine, Eve. I’ll take good care of you.”

I just laughed. “Of course you say that, you get a week of nonstop sex out of it. I’m the one who deals with the pain and the mood swings. I feel like I’m out of control half the time, my rational brain just isn’t in charge.”

He stopped and kissed me, my emotions shifted again and I started to press my body to his. The makeout session grew headed, then he sat on a tree stump and pulled me into his lap. We couldn’t have sex before my appointment, I’d be mortified if she used the internal ultrasound probe and a bunch of his baby batter leaked out! I unzipped him, exposing his hard member to the cold, as I turned to straddle his legs. I then pulled my loose shorts aside and sank down on him. We both moaned as I reached the bottom, I was primed and ready for him. He pulled my sports bra up, his lips attacking my sensitive nipples as I started to ride him slowly. “Oh… Adam it’s sooooo good.”

He didn’t say anything, his tongue and teeth were busy teasing my nipples, and when he sucked hard on one I leaned back in ecstasy. We took our time, slowly building up the pace, until I came hard. He started to move my hips on him, pushing me back and forth as my clit rubbed on him. He stood up, holding me up as I hung on for dear life, and pounded me good until I reached a second, stronger orgasm. My contractions around him set him off, and I felt his manly essence shoot deep inside me.

He sat back down, just holding me, as we came down from the high. “I love you, Adam.”

“I love you, Eve.” He held me to his chest as my lack of sleep caught up to me, and I woke up later in our bed.

Meghan’s POV

After adjusting Alice’s hormones, I got on the phone and talked to the other girls who would be receiving the treatment. The goal was to get their cycle to the point they were ready to accept the implantation in two to three days; if it didn’t work, I’d arranged with a fertility clinic to have their embryos frozen. I was thrilled with Eve’s progress, I was pretty sure we’d be able to harvest two dozen eggs, maybe more, and she’d still have a normal heat.

I was still nervous, though. In a normal case, I’d never include myself in the population of recipients. I was taking on enough with learning the IVF procedure on my own, supervising multiple women, some of whom would be high risk pregnancies. Kelly was in her late forties, Mia didn’t even have ovaries, and multiple births were automatically higher risks. Add in that they might be delivered early, and I was petrified. I knew from the dream that twins would be common, maybe even triplets or quadruplets, and in the human world this would involve a hospital and a whole team of doctors to support them.

Since the babies would all be werewolves, I couldn’t involve the human medical system. I was scared for myself, too; I was young and healthy, but triplets were no joke. All in all, I was as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

I could feel my body preparing, my cycle had aligned and based on the temperature history I was taking in the morning, I would be ovulating soon. I put my hand on my belly, just as the phone rang. I saw it was Steven. “Baby, are you all right? I could feel your fear.”

“I’m fine, honey. I’m just scared. All of this is coming to pass, and I don’t know if I can handle it all.” I started to cry, and I’m sure he felt that over our weak bond. I wished I could use mental communication, but nothing had changed there. He could still send to me, but I couldn’t send back. The most he got was my base emotions over the mate bond we had.

“It’s going to be fine, you are Doctor Meghan Jenkins, medical prodigy and the top Werewolf doctor in the country!”

I laughed. “I’m the ONLY werewolf doctor in the country, you ass,” I said. “That means I’m also the worst.”

“The hottest one by far,” he continued. “I heard we are heading back to St. Paul in the morning.”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“It’s almost time, Eve’s eggs will be ready to harvest soon.”

“We’re getting security ready. We need to protect her, but understand you are just as important. Without you, none of this happens.”

I wiped my tears. “You’re right, we know how this ends. It’s all going to turn out,” I told him. “I love you so much it hurts sometimes when you aren’t with me.”

“I’m just a few miles away, love. Things are going really well at the site, we’re putting windows in now. We’ll have a basic heating and cooling system in next week, and water and flush toilets in two weeks. The framing crews are flying, you should see all the rooms as they take shape.”

“I’d like that.”

There was a pause. “Have you eaten lunch yet?”

“No.”

“You need a break. How about I pick you up and we run into town and have lunch? Then I can bring you back and show you around the site, since we won’t be up here again for six weeks.” I’d told Alice and Eve that I’d come at about the six week point when they were pregnant, then every two to four weeks after, just to monitor progress.

“I’d like that. I don’t have anything else scheduled this afternoon, I’ll let Alice know we’re taking a date afternoon.” I hung up a few minutes later, smiling again. Having the little bond we did was helpful in that he didn’t have to guess my emotions, he could feel them. And what he was feeling now was love, with a bit of lust mixed in.

It was too cold for motorcycles, they had been put in the back of the garage while the snowmobiles were prepared, so he picked me up in one of the pickup trucks the Club had purchased. The lottery winnings had been collected, and there was a minor media blowup as they were denied the normal photo opportunity and interview. Our lawyer collected it, in a closed meeting, and left again. I thought it was hilarious, but it was within the rules and they couldn’t do anything about it. The men had taken some of the money and immediately filled the big pole barn next to the house with new snowmobiles and ATV’s. I didn’t mind, up here on the North Shore you get feet of snow, and we had plenty of land to ride on. I preferred Steven’s back, though.
