Atlas closed his eyes, his body tensing as the transformation began. Fur sprouted across his skin, his muscles bulging and reshaping. His face elongated into a muzzle, sharp teethgleaming. Within moments, a massive black werewolf stood before me, easily seven feet tall on his hind legs.

My heart raced as I took in Atlas’s Alpha form. He was magnificent - powerful and primal. His golden eyes glowed with intelligence and desire as they roamed over my body. I hadn’t gotten a good look at him the night he saved me from Rowan. Now that I did, it made me nearly speechless.

“You’re beautiful,” I whispered, reaching out to touch his fur.

Atlas rumbled low in his chest, leaning into my touch. His muzzle nuzzled my neck, hot breath fanning across my skin. I shivered as I felt something brush against my thigh. Looking down, I gasped softly.

His cock was enormous, easily as thick as my wrist and nearly twice the length of my own. The shaft was a deep red, glistening with pre-cum at the tip. At the base was a thick, pulsing knot. My mouth went dry at the sight, a mix of arousal and trepidation flooding through me.

Atlas whined softly, sensing my hesitation. He nuzzled my cheek gently, his tongue darting out to lick my jaw. The tender gesture calmed my nerves somewhat.

“It’s okay,” I whispered, more to myself than to Atlas. “I trust you. Just be gentle with me, okay? I… I’ve never done this before.”

I began to undress with trembling hands, hyperaware of Atlas’s intense gaze following my every move. When I was finally naked, Atlas growled appreciatively, his golden eyes roaming hungrily over my body.

He circled me slowly, his fur brushing against my skin and sending shivers down my spine. When he came to stand behind me, I felt the heat of his body enveloping me. His massive paws settled on my hips, claws pricking gently at my skin.

I gasped as I felt the hot, slick length of his cock pressing against my lower back. Atlas rumbled low in his chest, the soundvibrating through my entire body. His tongue lapped at my neck, leaving a trail of tingling warmth in its wake.

“Atlas,” I whispered, my voice trembling. “I’m scared. Not of you… but everything that’s about to change.”

He whined softly, nuzzling my cheek in reassurance. His paws gently turned me to face him, and I found myself staring into those mesmerizing golden eyes. There was such tenderness there, such love, that it made my heart ache.

Slowly, carefully, Atlas lowered me onto the cushions scattered across the floor. He loomed over me, his massive form blocking out everything else. I reached up, running my fingers through his thick fur.

“I love you,” I murmured.

Chapter 24

Caden

Atlas rumbled in response to my proclamation of love, leaning down to lick a hot stripe up my chest. His tongue found my nipple, and I arched into the touch with a gasp. Heat pooled in my groin as Atlas continued his explorations, lavishing attention on every inch of my skin.

When his muzzle finally reached my cock, I nearly levitated off the bed. My fingers threaded through the thick black fur at his ruff, holding on for dear life as he nosed at my throbbing length. The golden eyes that stared up at me from between my thighs held an intelligence that was purely Atlas, even in this form.

“Fuck,” I whispered, my voice breaking as his rough tongue dragged along my shaft. The sensation was unlike anything I’d experienced with him in human form—wilder, more dangerous, and so much more intense.

Atlas growled, the vibration traveling through my entire body. He was careful with his teeth, but the knowledge that they were there, capable of tearing me apart, only heightened my arousal. This was forbidden for so many reasons—witch and werewolf, man and beast—yet I couldn’t bring myself to care. Those rules were for a world that no longer existed and I couldn’tbother to worry about them any longer. Not now that I was with my mate.

His massive paws pressed my thighs wider apart, claws pricking lightly against my skin. The slight pain mingled with pleasure as he continued to taste me, his tongue exploring places that made me writhe and moan his name like a prayer.

“Atlas,” I begged, not even sure what I was asking him to do. “Please…”

Grabbing the back of my knees, he tipped me backward, lifting my ass high in the air. With a low growl he leaned forward, his tongue caressing my hole with a delicate roughness that made me quiver.

My entire body trembled as Atlas’s tongue pressed against my entrance, the wet heat of it sending shockwaves of pleasure through me. I’d never felt so exposed, so vulnerable, and yet so completely safe all at once. His claws dug into the flesh of my thighs, holding me steady as I threatened to squirm away from the overwhelming sensation.

“Oh god,” I moaned, reaching back to grip the sheets. “Atlas, fuck?—”

His response was another rumbling growl that vibrated against my most sensitive flesh. The sound was possessive, primal—a reminder that in this form, he was more beast than man. Yet those intelligent golden eyes never left mine, watching my every reaction with an intensity that stripped me bare in ways that had nothing to do with my nakedness.

The rough texture of his tongue breached me, and I cried out, my cock leaking precum onto my stomach. Atlas’s ears flicked forward at the sound, his movements becoming more deliberate as he worked me open with a patience I wouldn’t have expected from a creature so clearly driven by instinct.

“I need you,” I whispered, my voice breaking. “Please, Atlas. I need all of you.”

He lifted his head, his golden eyes blazing with an intensity that made me shiver. With a low growl, Atlas moved up my body, his massive form caging me beneath him. I could feel the heat radiating off his fur-covered body, smell the wild, musky scent of him.

His cock, thick and red, pressed against my thigh. I reached down to touch it, marveling at how different it felt compared to his human form - larger, more tapered, with a swollen knot at the base. Atlas rumbled approvingly as I stroked him, his hips jerking forward.
