The Merciless Alpha(erotica)

“I bet. Keep this up and you’ll be attending college by your junior year in high school.” She was such a gifted and hardworking student that she would meet high school graduation requirements in two years. The school district would then allow her to take college courses at their expense, which she fully intended to take advantage of.

“It’s going to save me a lot of money on my pre-med courses,” she said. “Plus, having Doc here to help me is making it much easier.”

“I’m thinking about becoming an assistant professor at a school here, work a deal where we can get Meghan free tuition in exchange for me teaching a class,” Vivian said. “I enjoyed teaching in Grenada.” We finished our meals, and Meghan took the plates downstairs while I washed up.

Vivian passed Eve to me, and I took her place on the rocker before settling her against my chest. “I got word from Viper, they are scheduling Kelly’s C-section for the morning.”

Vivian nodded, already thinking. “She should be able to have visitors by dinnertime, then.”

“We should go.” She started to hesitate. “We’ll take a few Club members with, you’ll be fine.”

“I don’t want to leave Eve, and I don’t want to risk her being exposed to germs in the hospital either,” she said. “You go, I’ll stay.”

“I’ll go in the afternoon, and you go after dinner,” I said. “I’ll stay with Eve, and you can go with Hammer and Teri.”

“I don’t know if it’s safe.”

“We’ll have a couple prospects drive you, they aren’t going to be in a human hospital,” I countered. “You’re her daughter, she’ll want you to visit.”

“FINE.” Oh shit, the F-word feared by all married males. “But I’m not going to stay long.”

“We’ll get you back here as soon as you’re ready.” I rocked my daughter as Vivian ate, enjoying every moment.

The next morning, I was setting up for lunch when a cheer went up in the bar area. I poked my head out, catching Teri’s eye. “Baby boy, named Andrew Carson, seven pounds two ounces, twenty-one inches, born at 8:14,” she said with a smile.

“GREAT,” I smiled, “Can you tell Vivian for me?” She nodded and went up the stairs while one of the prospects was lining up shots. What the hell, it was five o’clock somewhere. We toasted our President and his lady and slammed the tequila down.

Teri came back down. “It’s all arranged, you go at 3:30 and when you get back, Hammer and I and the kids are going. We’ll take DeWalt with us.”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“And at least one other member, and have the prospects drive you,” I said. “She needs to feel safe or she’ll never leave.” She hadn’t left the clubhouse, hell, she’d barely come downstairs since Eve was born. She needed to get out for her own sanity, and what better excuse than to meet her new little brother?

Vivian’s POV

Teri and the girls had stopped in through the day, showing me photos of baby Andrew and his parents. I was excited to go visit, but nervous to be leaving my baby behind. “Go,” Snake said as he changed her. “We’ll be fine.”

I leaned down and kissed her as he finished snapping up the outfit, it was my favorite with little wolves and sheep on it. “Love you, little Eve,” I said as she looked wide-eyed at me. I kissed Snake and walked out.

“Come ON, visiting hours start in twenty minutes!” Teri was almost bouncing with excitement. Hammer poked his head in the door to say they were ready, and she gathered Meghan, Connor and Cash around her. “Behave tonight, and we’ll get a treat on the way home,” she said as they filed out. I followed, Tiny behind me as he volunteered to be my bodyguard. Nobody was stupid enough to fuck with me with Tiny at my back.

We loaded into the SUV for the short ride to the hospital, and soon we were in the waiting room. Only two could go in at a time, so Teri and I went first. Kelly was sitting up in bed, Viper at her side, and little Andrew was feeding from her left breast. “Oh my GOD he is cute!” Teri rushed over, leaning down to see the little guy.

“Congratulations, Gramps,” I said as I went on the other side of the bed and sat in his lap. “He’s beautiful.”

“I’m blessed with a great family,” he said as he gave me a hug.

When Andrew was fed and burped, she handed him off to Viper. “He needs to get used to this,” she said as I leaned in to give her a hug. “I’m doing good, he’s doing good. I’m so glad I had you two around to help me through this.”

“I’m happy too,” I said. “Our little babies get to grow up together.”

“Yeah, and he’ll beat the shit out of anyone who even looks at her funny,” Viper said as he changed the diaper. “Oh my GOD, what has he been eating?” The smell was damn near driving me out of the room, and my wolf liked to roll around in deer poop and lick her own butt, so it was BAD.

“Boobie milk, it’s good for you,” she laughed. “I read the book, I knew what was coming,” she giggled.

“Jesus, it’s like black tar.” We carried on, talking about the C-section and what it felt like to have him in her arms.

All of the sudden, Tiny burst into the room. “DeWalt, OUT NOW,” he said as he pulled me out of the room. We were almost running out of the hospital, taking the stairs instead of waiting for the elevator. The prospect was waiting at the curb, Tiny damn near tossed me into the back and jumped in before we peeled out. The prospect in the passenger seat had his gun out, and Tiny had his hand on his.

Before we got halfway home, three Club members pulled U-turns, two escorting us from the front and one behind. We took random turns, cutting across lanes without warning, anything to throw off a tail. When they were satisfied, we pulled into the clubhouse garage, the door closing instantly. I almost ran up to our room, surprising Snake who was sleeping in the chair with Eve. “What’s going on?”

Tiny knocked and came in, a piece of paper in his hand. “Sheri had this guy in her bar, big dude, good looking. He was asking around if people had seen this person, said there was a ten-thousand-dollar reward if they could help him find her.” He handed Snake the flyer as I looked over his shoulder. It was the portrait I had taken when I worked at the clinics up on the North Shore six years ago, with my old name.

I brought the paper close to my nose, sniffing deeply. “Werewolf.”

Vivian’s POV

“Church, ten minutes,” Tiny said as he walked out of the room.

“We both need to be there,” Snake said.

“I’ll get the bag,” I said as I moved over to the dresser where her stuff was. We had gotten the diaper bag as a gift, and so far hadn’t used it because I was too nervous to leave our room. With everything she went through as a preemie, I hated the idea of placing her at risk for cold, germs or anything else. I made sure it had diaper supplies and a changing pad, just in case. “When did she last feed?”

“She had a bottle a half hour ago,” he said as he picked her up. Setting her on the changing table, he swaddled her like a burrito before holding her in his left arm, tucked into the soft leather of his cut. He was an expert baby handler by now, and I smiled as I watched the macho biker turn into the doting papa. “Ready?” I nodded, pulling on my cut as we went out into the hallway, making our way downstairs.

For most motorcycle clubs, Church would only be for the patched members, not their old ladies or girlfriends. The Northwoods Riders were a little different, not holding to the outlaw culture some clubs stuck with. Patching in women was the first difference, if you could ride you could become a member, and have full voting rights. If you didn’t ride, you still got a cut for being an Old Lady, but no vote.

This danger affected everyone, so two of the teen daughters took the kids into the theater room upstairs to watch a movie while all the adults stayed upstairs. As soon as we sat down, Rocket and Taser sat by us. Taser begged to hold Eve for a bit, and the look she gave Rocket while holding her was telling. That boy better make a baby with her soon.

The doors were locked, prospects ran around serving beer and drinks, and as soon as everyone was settled, Tiny was the Vice President, with the President and the Master at Arms at the hospital still, he called the meeting to order. “As always, no one outside this room hears a bit of this,” he started. “Lives are at stake here.”

His wife Katie passed around copies of the reward flyer that Sheri had been given at her bar. “Alpha Stanton apparently does not believe that Vivian died six years ago in the attack on the clinic, and Carson died without giving him any information on her. If he had, they’d be at our door already.”

Tiny picked it up. “They must have figured out that she is hiding among humans, and so they are using humans to help them out. The only advantage we have is that Vivian hasn’t left the clubhouse since she returned from Grenada. The fact that they still use her old name tells us her cover is holding for now. There’s no telling how long that lasts, a simple internet search will find her marriage license.” He looked over at me. “DeWalt, tell us what this means.”

“The paper had a werewolf’s scent, so they have sent people here looking for me,” I said. “Probably pack warriors, with a Beta in charge. No telling if it is a couple of dozens, but I’d lean towards the latter. It would take way too long in a city this size with just a few people.”

“So what will they do,” Taser asked as she rocked Eve.

“Ask around like they are doing, hoping someone can point them in the right directions. Eventually, they’ll just start patrolling the neighborhoods looking for my smell.”

“But they don’t know you,” Moose said.

“No, but the know what a female smells like, and I’m the only one.” Snake pulled me into his lap. “In the werewolf world, there’s a huge bounty on me. I have no doubt they’ll do anything to get me, even if that means going through you to get me. My presence here puts you all in danger, your children…” I buried my face in Snake’s chest.

“We won’t give you up,” Moose said. “You’re family.”
