“Please, I need to come,” I begged.
“Do you get to decide that, little Lupenii?” he asked softly, still dragging his fingers up and down the folds of my pussy.
“Please?” I pleaded.
He slapped my pussy several times in a row then, and I writhed over his knee.
“Answer the question, baby doll. Do you get to decide when you will come?” he demanded, more firmly this time, and my pussy tightened with need.
“No, sir. You get to decide when I come,” I finally whispered, feeling a hot blush come over my cheeks. He resumed his gentle caresses between my legs, teasing me incessantly as I begged for him. I wanted to come so badly that I was almost in tears.
When I thought I could take not a second more, he lifted me from his lap and placed me on my back on the bed.
“Spread your legs. Show me what is mine to take,” he commanded.
I obeyed and I felt myself blush harder. I knew what he would see. He’d see my wetness dripping onto my thighs. The pinkness of my freshly spanked pussy. He’d be able to see everything.
My legs trembled as I watched him slip his black shirt over his head. With a knowing smirk, he unbuttoned his pants and kicked off his boots. In moments, he was naked, too, delightfully so. I couldn’t take my eyes off his massive erection. Its size was as intimidating as it was arousing, and now that I wasn’t in heat any longer, I was a little nervous to take it.
But I knew better. I was going to take it because he wanted me to.
He climbed on top of me and placed his hands on either side of my head.
“You are so beautiful when you’re like this. Soaking wet and desperately needy for my cock,” he mused, and I shivered as Icould feel the heat of his shaft pressing up against the folds of my pussy. Carefully, he shifted his hips and slid his length up and down against my very sensitive clit, and I moaned as a jolt of desire raced straight to my core.
“Please,” I begged as I shifted my hips just a little bit beneath him, trying to urge him to take me hard right then and there.
I wasn’t disappointed.
His cock slammed into my pussy with a brutal vigor that made my body go rigid with pain, as well as mind-blowing pleasure. He wasn’t gentle, but I hadn’t expected him to be. He fucked me hard because he knew that was exactly what I needed.
There were no bonds holding my wrists together this time. No heat for him to break. Just him and me completely bare, coming together as one. Just as we were fated to be.
Alaric claimed that he’d found me, but in reality, we’d found each other.
And nothing was ever going to break us apart.
EPILOGUE
Kendra
Over the next several months, we took the leisurely route back to Earth. Alaric and I spent as much time together as we could. There wasn’t a day that went by where he didn’t leave me feeling sore, used, and well satisfied, and I liked it that way. As we traveled through space, he contacted many of his close connections, trying to figure out just how the Ghengrills had found out about my existence in the first place.
There were several theories, including one surmising that he’d owed debts to a few individuals and one that he had pissed off the wrong people, but even though those were viable possibilities, all of them came back around to the same individual.
Richie.
The bar owner knew Alaric had taken me up to his room and likely knew that the two of us had slept together, and he’d offered me the apartment when I’d come back looking for Alaric. Everything pointed to him, and Alaric planned to take it upwith him when we reached Earth. Something told me that the scrawny little man had a painful lesson in his future. I wouldn’t be able to see it though, because Alaric had forbidden me from accompanying him back to the bar.
I didn’t miss Earth, and I didn’t mind that he had prohibited me from going back with him to the bar. I was going to stay on the ship, where it was safe.
During that time, my Lupenii traits became more pronounced. At first, the changes were subtle, things I could almost dismiss as tricks of the light or my imagination playing games with me. I would catch my reflection in a windowpane and notice the way my pupils seemed just a little too sharp, a little too elongated, like a predator’s when watching its prey. The icy blue of my irises had deepened, dark flecks emerging like cracks in frozen water, and at certain angles, they gleamed with an unnatural luminescence, even in the dimmest light.
Then came the more obvious transformations. My nails, once blunt and ordinary, hardened into something sharper, more claw-like, tapering into fine, curved points before I forced myself to keep them filed down. My senses, already heightened since Alaric had marked me, became somethingother, somethingmore. I could hear a heartbeat in the next room, smell emotions as if they had a tangible weight to them—fear was acrid, sharp, almost metallic; desire was thick, rich, something I felt curl inside me like a living thing.
And then, there was my body. My muscles had grown denser, my strength quietly doubling until I could lift things that should have been too heavy, move faster than I should have been able to. But the most undeniable proof of my transformation lay in the soft, rounding swell of my belly, growing fuller with each passing day. It wasn’t justanychild I carried—it washis.A Lunpenii boy, strong and restless even in the womb. Some nights, I swore I couldfeelhim stirring, pressing tiny hands and feet against me, a quiet reminder that he was already more than human, already something powerful.
Alaric had told me what to expect, but nothing could have prepared me for the depth of it—the way my body instinctively cradled the life inside me, the way my shifting form adapted to accommodate him. I ran my hands over the firm curve of my stomach, feeling the warmth of my own body radiating outward, and I knew, without a doubt, that I was no longer just Kendra. No longer justhuman.
