"That's it," Ajax growled softly, "feel how much I want you."

I hummed around Ajax's shaft, sucking for all I was worth. As the sounds of his pleasure became louder, I took Ajax's cock as deep as I could, savoring the taste of him as he groaned above me. Ajax growled deeply, mirroring the sounds of the surrounding pack. His large, calloused hands gripped my head, feeding me more of his cock than I could take. I choked but refused to let go. I wanted Daddy’s cock deep in my throat, choking me, feeding me. The night air was thick with desire and smoke from the bonfire, and our skin smelled of sweat and arousal.

Ajax pulled me off of him, and I whimpered. A string of saliva spilled onto my chin. “You such a good cock sucker, baby,” he praised, and I felt it between my thighs.

He moved to the ground, turning me so that I was on all fours. I nearly split in two as his fingers dug into my hips, and he buried himself once again in my pussy. My belly was hanging, and my breasts were swinging wildly, yet I didn’t care. My walls clenched around his length instinctively, desperately craving more of him even though we’d just spent moments before.

He chuckled darkly and thrust harder into me, sending ripples of pleasure through my core. Sweat dripped down both our bodies as we moved together in rhythm under the watchful gaze of the moon goddess.

It took a moment for my gaze to be clear enough to take in those around me. It was a sight that would stay burned into my memory forever - dozens of couples fucking each other with heat and intensity that was far from human.

I’d done this. It was my need for my mate that had spurred this orgy. Ajax's hands gripped my hips as he thrust his powerful body, shoving his massive cock deep inside of me. I snapped, my orgasm washing over me as he came hard inside of me, coating my womb with his seed. He roared with release, sounding like the Alpha I knew he was. Once again, his cock swelled and became lodged inside of me.

We were covered in sweat and each other's juices, and I couldn't help but feel completely satisfied and want more. Ajax smiled softly at me before leaning down to taste some of the sweat dripping from my skin - he didn’t care who saw us or how feral he looked. He was confident in our passion, our pleasure.

As we watched the pack continue their frenzy of passion, I felt a sense of pride wash over me. We had turned them into this - these incredible creatures ruled by their desires but also looked out for one another. Their scents mingled, creating a heady mix that made my umbra growl in approval. It was intoxicatingly addictive.

Our eyes met for a moment before turning back to the others. Ajax continued to hold me, looking pleased with himself, when his cock finally slid free and his seed dribbled out slowly. My fingers twitched to touch it, but I resisted the urge for now.

Ajax lifted me to the side and gently pressed his cock inside meonce again. It wasn’t the fevered fucking from before. His cock easily slid inside of me; I was full of his cum, and yet I still craved more. Our mating bond was palpable; our connection was unbreakable under the moonlight.

My eyes met his in the dark. “I’m sorry, baby,” Ajax's umbra-like grunt filled my ears as he lifted me onto his cock. “I can’t control myself.”

“Don’t stop,” I pleaded as he thrust into my core, making me even wetter for him.

“You’re mine, Mazie Green,” he proclaimed, not for the pack this time but to me. This was personal, a vow. “Everything I am, I give to you. Everything I own, I share with you. Our bond shapes everything I will be. So let it be.”

My core clenched, and Ajax snarled with approval. I wasn’t sure what I was promising, but it felt suitable to repeat his words. “You’re mine, Ajax Montgomery,” I rasped between strokes, “Everything I am, I give you. Everything I own, I share with you. Our bond shapes everything I will be. So let it be.”

There was a flash of light so bright it could have been midday. Then I was coming, hard and fast, my orgasm wrenching one from Ajax that shook us both to the core. I fell against him, my energy spent, and my world darkened.

MAZIE

The dawn's light crept like a timid intruder across the room, and I blinked awake, feeling a warmth that wasn't just from the sun. Ajax, his arms encircling me in a protective embrace, his breath steady and comforting against my neck. I should've felt safe, wrapped in the strength of his hold, but instead, a cocktail of embarrassment and vulnerability soured in my stomach.

"Good morning, beautiful," he murmured, his voice thick with sleep.

"Morning," I managed to reply, my words getting lost in the sea of sheets that tangled around us.

He must have sensed my unease, because he tightened his grip, pulling me closer. "It's okay, Mazie. It's natural for us...for our kind."

But 'natural' didn't quite ease the prickle of anxiety under my skin, knowing that the whole pack had seen me - raw, naked, exposed – as we'd claimed each other under the moon's watchful eye—multiple times. The thought made my heart thrum a panicked beat.

"Hey, look at me,"Ajax said softly, leaning on one elbow to peer into my hazel eyes. “You're perfect, just as you are. To me, to the pack, you're ours."

His blue eyes, those deep pools of sincerity, held mine, and something in their depths calmed the swirling storm inside me. He kissed me, a gentle brush of lips that fluttered like butterfly wings against my own, and I couldn't help but succumb to the pull of sleep once more.

When I woke again, the bed was cold beside me. Grogginess clung to the edges of my thoughts, but Ajax's absence sent a chill down my spine. I was not too fond of how my space felt emptier without him, and my body seemed to crave his nearness even in slumber.

Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I reached for my phone on the nightstand. What time was it? But as the screen blinked to life, a text message caught my attention, freezing me mid-stretch.

"I'm watching you."That was all it said, the sender unknown, but the implication was clear as ice. Someone had their eyes on me, not on the admiring glances I was used to as an influencer. This was darker, sinister.

I sat up, hugging the sheet to my chest. My heart raced—a tiny hummingbird trapped in my ribcage. What did they want? Why were they watching? A thousand questions sprinted through my mind, none with answers.

I needed Ajax.
