The Merciless Alpha(erotica)

“I know,” Snake said, “But we have to be smart. There’s people around, she’s not safe here, Eve isn’t safe here. Do you have any idea what will happen if they find out there is a female werewolf baby that has been born alive and lived? She’ll be taken, Doc will be taken. There’s no price they wouldn’t pay if they think she can save their precious heirs.”

“Where would be safe? Is there anywhere?”

I shook my head. “I don’t know,” I said. “Grenada was good because there weren’t wolves there, six years we never smelled another.”

“Well, go there,” Crash said. “We need you safe.”

“That may not work,” Tiny said. “If they find out your name, it’s too easy to track you there. In a small place like that, with no protection?”

“I have no protection with Carson gone,” I said. “It’s like it was down in Hilton Head. By the time I smelled the males, they already smelled me. The difference is that this time I’ll have a baby with me. I can’t fight, I can’t run.”

“So, the best thing is to hide out, somewhere remote enough they can’t find you, but close enough so we can protect you?”

Snake nodded. “Out of sight, out of smell. Private property, monitored, and a defensible position with clear fields of fire.” I squeezed his hand on my waist, he always though clearly when facing danger. “Outside the Metro area, no more than two hours away though. And the fewer people that know about it the better.”

“So here’s what we are going to do,” Tiny said. “We’re going to get these two packed and their stuff loaded in one of the trucks. By the time we’re done, I want a place to send them to. Everyone think about it, write it down, talk to relatives, whatever you need. Get the details to me and I’ll pick the best idea.”

Crash and Viking, one of the members patched in after we had fled to Grenada, were the two picked to escort us to our new hideout. Viking’s aunt and uncle ran a game farm on a thousand acres near Welch, just southeast of the Metro area. He made a call, the guest house was available and they were willing to help.

Elias and Agnes were a delightful older couple, and I instantly liked them. Viking trusted them, and they were let in on my secret because it was important they understand the risks. My shift shocked them, but they weren’t scared of me, they were fascinated.

The house was small, two-bedroom with a single bath, but it was comfortable. The best part was the half mile to the nearest public road- and that was on the other side of a double 10-foot fence and locked gates. Viking stayed at the main house with his relatives, while Crash crashed with us in the second bedroom.

Three days into our exile, I heard motorcycles coming up the long driveway to the house. I looked out, seeing the familiar faces of Hammer and Viper, behind them was Shakes, with Viking following them in his ATV. “They’re here,” I told Snake as he came out of the bedroom with Eve.

“Good, I’m tired of hiding,” he said.

“It’s been three days, we were gone six years last time,” I laughed as I went to the door.

Viper was first in, he picked me up and spun me as he hugged me tight. “My girl,” he said. “I missed you, and Kelly misses you, and Andrew misses his aunt.”

“He saw me once!”

“What can I say, you made an impression,” he said as I laughed.

“Hi Hammer,” I said as I gave him a hug. “Welcome Shakes.” Shakes had been patched in last year. He was prior Army, Explosive Ordnance, tall and thin with a shaved head. He spent two tours in Iraq defusing roadside bombs before he developed a nervous twitch that ended his career. Sudden movements don’t go well with improvised explosive devices. “Have a seat, guys.” I went to the fridge and grabbed beers for everyone before I was pulled down in Snake’s lap.

“We’ve talked about the threat, guys.” Viper looked at his hands before looking up at me. “More guys are in town, we got a half-dozen calls from people who remember you from when you were riding with us. Doc DeWalt left an impression,” he said with a smile. “They aren’t going away, they’re getting closer. We’ve removed your stuff, cleaned your rooms, laundered your sheets and curtains, everything we can think of to remove your scent from the clubhouse, but we don’t know if it’s enough if they get close.”

Hammer sat up a little. “We think it’s time to take the offensive here. If we play defense, they can go forever.”

“What do you have in mind,” Snake said.

“Ambush,” Shakes said. “We answer the pamphlet, give them a location and take them out when they go after you. We figure they will pull everyone in town together to go get you. We take them all out at once, teach them not to fuck with you.”

I thought about it for a while. “They are wolves, they hunt by smell more than sight. Even if you use my clothes, they will scent all of you around. You can’t ambush them if they know you are there. Plus, they won’t come near unless they know I am there.”

“I know,” Viper said, “That’s why you’ll be there.”

“THE HELL SHE WILL!” Snake jumped to his feet, his yell waking Eve up who started crying. I went into the bedroom to get her out of the crib, calming her down as I walked back in. I glared at Snake, who reached for her to calm her down. “I mean, I don’t think that is a good idea.”NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

“I don’t like it either, I don’t want to put my daughter in danger, but Shake’s plan depends on us bringing them all in close,” Viper said.

“They have to see you, move in on your position,” Shakes said. “We’ll set up cameras a few days ahead of time, long enough for our scent to dissipate. We’ll be far enough away to come in behind them and make sure they don’t escape.”

“Wait a minute,” I said. “You are coming in after?”

“Yes,” Shakes said. “I’ll have a nice surprise for them.”

Three Days Later

The dinner rush was over, and we were catching up on cleaning and stocking before the night rush started. It was a decent crowd for a Thursday night, the Wild were in town and that helped with the late crowds. I was wiping down the bar when I saw Mr. Tall, Dark and Handsome walk in. He took a seat in a booth, and I went out and sat across from him. “You have information for me?”

I nodded. “Ten grand, and it’s yours.”

He laughed. “I can’t give you ten grand until I know the information is good.”

“It’s good. One of my girls recognized her, she’s staying at a rental cabin out near Turtle Lake. Her mother owns the cabin, says she never leaves, she pays her extra to bring her groceries every week.” I leaned forward. “What did she do? Kill someone? Steal money?”

“No, she ran away from her responsibilities, and my boss wants her back.”

“So how do we do this?” He shrugged. “I have an idea. You follow me out to the land and verify she’s there. You give me the cash, I take off, I never saw you and you were never here.”

“Let’s go then.”

“Tomorrow morning, meet me outside at ten.” He shook my hand and got up. I slumped in the booth after he walked out, glad it was over.

For now.

Sheri’s POV

I walked out of the back door of the bar, locking the door behind me at ten in the morning. I didn’t know if they were following me, so I didn’t go home last night. The couch in my office was good for more than quickies with Moose when I was working late.

I turned around and almost bumped off of the big guy from last night, a matching goon like him on each side. “Shit, you scared me,” I said. I wasn’t lying, they weren’t here when I looked out the video camera and I didn’t hear them approach while I was locking up. Moose would have been pissed, he was always after me to pay attention. He worried about someone attacking me in the late nights that I ran my bar. Of course, he was nowhere close now.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to frighten you,” Mr. Tall, Dark and Handsome said. “Are you ready?”

“Let’s see the cash first,” I said. He pulled a bank envelope out of his pocket and showed it to me; it was a $10, 000 bundle of hundreds. I flipped through them to make sure it was legit, then he put it back in his pocket. “So how do we do this?”

“I’ll ride with you, and these two will ride behind me. Once we verify she’s where you say she is, I give you the envelope and you drive away.”

“And we both forget we ever saw each other,” I said. “I don’t need this getting back to me, my girl doesn’t need to know I sold her Mom out. Try not to break anything, her Mom is nice, and I don’t want to hear cops are looking into it. She needs to think Vivian just left.”

He smiled as we reached my car, his buddies already gone. I was glad he didn’t search me, I had a couple surprises for them if they decided to back out on the deal. I had a baby Glock 9mm in a Flashbang holster under my boobs, the loose button-up blouse easily covering it. I had full-size Glock in a holster under the seat, a pepper spray in my purse, and bear spray in my door. All my ammunition had a silver core; Moose had modified existing rounds and coated the silver with a layer of lead so even Vivian couldn’t smell it. She told us the bullets would work as normal, with the added effect on werewolves that the silver would retard healing and prevent shifting. I didn’t really want to test it.

We got on the road, driving east on I-94 into Wisconsin. We were in rolling forests, heading north on 63 towards Turtle Lake. He didn’t say anything to me and I didn’t feel like talking, so I just left the radio on KQRS and drove. His buddies were behind us, and I could have sworn I saw more than just them. I was a little nervous as we turned onto the county road that led to the remote cabin.

The cabin belonged to Hammer’s cousin, and had been chosen because it wasn’t your normal cabin. His cousin had been a masonry contractor, so the home was built of poured concrete with applied river rock facing. The roof was steel, as were both of the entry doors, and to prevent it from burning in a fire the windows all had steel shutters that could be locked in place from the inside. It was the very definition of a defensible position, sitting atop a small rise above a large pond, the forest no closer than fifty yards away from the garden. “This is the driveway leading to the cabin,” I said as we passed the fire sign. This area was well away from the lakes and rivers, so there weren’t neighbors on the dirt and crushed rock trail leading in. I kept driving another half mile, then pulled over, the trail car stopping behind me. “There is an ATV trail here that goes fairly close to the house.”
