Date: Sat, 13 Jul 2013 13:30:39 -0700 (PDT) From: Mack Thomas Subject: Mate (part 10) Mate Saint didn't really have time to respond before the mysterious man quickly grabbed him. Saint struggled trying to free himself from the mans grasp, but to no avail. `Stop struggling I'm trying to save your life. Saint continued to struggle until he heard the sound of unfamiliar growls coming from outside of the house. He tried to call out to his friends, but before he could he and the man disappeared. Callum and Anthony lay on the bed in a sexual haze. Callum's lithe body lay on top of Anthony's larger one. Anthony lay on his back with Callum in between his legs, and his head on his chest. Callum felt a soft grumbling from inside of himself, but as confused because it didn't feel like it was coming from him. Anthony places a soothing hand on his head. `That was your wolf letting you know that he is content. The older you get the more in tune the two of you will become. No matter what you do you should always try to keep your wolf happy.' Callum nodded at this. He had never interacted with his wolf before, but he hoped that they would become in tune with one another. He closed his eyes hoping to contact his wolf while Anthony looked at him adoringly. Anthony smiled at his mate, he remembered his first time connecting with his wolf. Being that he was always one of the stronger lycanthropes he had a hard time controlling it at first. He remembered almost having an internal battle with it before the wolf gave him some leeway. He smiled at the wolf snorting internally at the memory, but they were both quickly brought out of their reverie by the sound of other lycanthropes approaching fast. Callum was startled by Anthony's sudden movements only to realize that he too was standing at alert. Anthony shifted into his wolf form and Callum followed suit as they ran out of the room towards the stairs. On his way down Anthony let out a howl alerting the rest of his pack to prepare themselves. Lisa was in a daze. She had never experienced such a sexual bliss in which Lucas was giving her. Lisa had known that she and her mate would engage sexually, but she had never imagined that she would meet someone as sexual as Lucas. Everything about him just oozed sex appeal to her, and when it came to sex he didn't disappoint. Lucas had never tasted anything so good in his life. He had given oral sex plenty of times, but it was done more to please his partner at the time. With Lisa though, he enjoyed it just as much as she did. His tongue worked magic as he licked and sucked anything it could reach. He let out a moan as he felt her hand pull on his hair as she came close to her climax. Before they could finish however, their alpha let out a commanding howl and they shifted immediately. They ran out of the bathroom headed straight for their alpha. They arrived at the front door just moments after Anthony and Callum, and Lisa shuddered a bit at the sound of many lycanthropes headed there way. Lucas felt her uneasiness and butted her shoulder with his head. As her mate he wanted to reassure her that they would be okay, but he wasn't so sure about that. All he knew was that he would fight to the death for her, for any of his pack for that matter. One rather large howl was emitted and it unnerved him greatly. He knew that howl too well, it was the howl that he'd heard right before his pack was slaughtered. It was the howl of the single handedly most sadistic person Lucas had ever encountered. That ferocious howl was emitted from none other than Ripper himself. Brett sat on the ground in between his mates legs. Mack sat on the bed armed with a brush as he brushed his mates hair. Brett sighed contentedly as he is being groomed by his mate. He loved the fact that Mack took care of him as much as he took care of Mack. `You know, as a lycanthrope you'd think that you guys would be able to clean yourselves in wolf form.' Mack said with a smile on his face. Brett just opened his mouth and let his tongue roll out as if he were smiling. He knew for a fact that Mack loved taking care of him as much as, if not more, he loved being cared for. As a mate Mack was happy doing anything that made Brett happy, and if it were up to him he would continue to do so until the end of time. Brett could make him so happy with just an affectionate smile. He had never been so captivated by anyone in his life. Both Brett and Mack were brought on alert by a fierce howl that Mack assumed, Brett knew, came from Anthony. Brett shot out of the room with make running behind him as quick as his two legs could take him. `Hell I need to exercise more.' Mack thought as he made it outside while slightly panting. He didn't know what to expect, but judging from the amount of howling that he heard he knew that this was not a good situation. His hearing wasn't as good as the others, but he could hear well enough to know that he was greatly outnumbered. He know that physically he was no help to the pack, but maybe he could help some other way. With that thought he ran back into the house and up the stairs into his room and peered out of the window. The five lycanthropes didn't show it, but they were happy that Mack had retreated. As much heart as he had he was still no match for even the weakest lycanthrope. As the alpha Anthony had to think about all of his pack members so his mind eventually drifted to Saint. Internally he was relieved that he was nowhere in sight either, because as a vampire he would have been targeted first. He looked to his left and saw the large brown wolf, and right beside her the large red one. He looked to his right and saw the large blonde wolf, and right beside his mate was the large bleach blonde wolf. All five lycanthropes stood firm and alert. There was nothing more that they could do until Ripper and his pack arrived. Now it was just a matter of time. They didn't have to wait long though, because less than sixty seconds later at least fifty lycanthropes emerged from the woods. Immediately all five lycanthropes knew which one Ripper was. He was in his human form and exuded more fear in the pack than all of the other lycanthropes combined. He wasn't extremely tall only standing at about six feet, but he exuded such an ominous aura. Callum couldn't quite figure out what his ethnicity was as his skin color was that of a dark caramel tone. His muscles were beyond massive and a quick estimate made Callum think that he was about 300 pounds of pure muscle. His eyes were a pale red sort of color. The color didn't bother Callum as much as his expression did. It was beyond a flat affect, he just seemed callous. Once they were about fifteen feet away from Anthony's pack he raised his hand and his pack came to an immediate halt simultaneously. He stared Anthony, who had now transformed into his human form, dead in the eye. For what seemed like hours, but in actuality only a few minutes, they challenged each other. Finally Ripper showed a little expression by smirking. `I guess that you are as tough as everyone has said. No other alpha even lasted ten seconds against me.' He said while never breaking eye contact. Even Brett had to admit that Ripper's voice was unsettling. It was a deep baritone, and matched his ominous appearance. Anthony never even flinched at the voice, and he had no problem maintaining eye contact. Ripper seemed slightly impressed and maintained his eye contact as well while speaking once more. `My plan was to just come and kill you, but it looks like I could have some fun with you.' Anthony still did not speak so Ripper continued. `Now I'm going to give you two options. One you can come along with me quietly and without an issue, or we can carry you guys away unconscious. Either way you are coming with me. Anthony spoke for the first time then. `We'll go with option two.' Ripper smirked again. `I expected nothing less, maybe there is hope for this sorry ass city yet.' He said as he walked backward into his rather large pack. The two only broke eye contact when they could no longer see each other. Anthony shifted back into his wolf form right as Ripper let out a howl causing his pack to charge the five lycanthropes. Anthony, Callum, Brett, Lisa, and Lucas all prepared for the worst. They didn't know what was going to happen, but they did know one thing. Whatever fate was in store for them, they would face it together.
