“For one, you don’t want to go up against an alpha, not unless you have no choice. An alpha will put you in your place, using pain and even humiliation, whatever it takes to make you submit. And when you have an alpha sinking his teeth into your neck, threatening to end you, you learn to respect his power, to yield to it. But that’s not where the real damage is done. Our wolves can heal the injuries. But if you piss off an alpha, he might destroy your reputation. If he makes you look weak or stupid, other wolves target you, even gang up on you to exert their control. It’s their way of being alpha over someone else.”
“Sounds like a lot of bullies to me.”
“Alphas take control and do anything to keep it.”
“Rafe’s not like that,” she said as she straddled him and her tongue moved over his abdominal muscles, following the dips and peaks, making his dick pulse with need.
He caught her arms and pulled the long sleeve jersey over her head. “You, me, Rafe, and Maddox. We’re a pack. And Rafe’s in charge.”
“I know I said we’re our own pack, but it was wishful thinking, I suppose. We’re little more than an unconventional family. We certainly aren’t a pack. There’s only four of us.”
“It goes back to hierarchy. Size doesn’t matter.”
Her hand ran over the bulge of his pants. “Oh, Tiernan, someone’s been lying to you. Size matters. Very much.” Alyssa popped the button on his pants, carefully lowered the zipper, and slid her hand along his cock, stroking him several times as she freed him.
The moment her soft hands wrapped around his length, he moaned, all thoughts of pack and alphas disappearing. Right now, it was only Tiernan and his female.
As she slid down his torso, she lowered his jeans. His cock stood erect, level with those lush lips.
“Suck me,” he said, not sure where that commanding voice came from.
With her tongue, she circled his tip, teasing him in the most delicious manner. He loved how her eyes lit with joy and passion. He hadn’t seen that in weeks, her thoughts usually on Maddox or the shifters chasing them, planning to use her as bait to capture her dad.
Slowly, her lips wrapped around his tip. Wet heat, soft and fabulous, enveloped him until he could barely think straight. His hands sank deep into her golden tresses as his length disappeared between gorgeous red lips. That right there was a look he’d never forget. His female was on her knees, his dick disappearing into her mouth as beautiful hazel eyes sparkled forhim. Tiernan Greyson, a mere scout. He couldn’t believe how fortunate he was to have her.
“I never wanted to hurt you,” he said.
Her brows lifted as she eased off of him. “You haven’t. But if you don’t learn to relax and enjoy, Tiernan, I might have to hurt you.” She snapped her teeth together, and as intimidating as that should have been so close to his dick, it emboldened him.
“Oh, babe, never challenge a shifter.” He swept her feet from under her and laid her down on the rug by the fire.
After he leaned over her and kissed her, still facing her feet, he left a trail of kisses down her chest until his mouth reached her pussy and his cock dangling mere inches from her lush mouth.
Her tongue grazed the tip of his cock, sending a tantalizing heat through him. He lowered his hips, pressing against her lips until she opened, inviting him to fuck her mouth. As his cock slid past those beautiful lips, her arousal bloomed. Never had he smelled anything so sweet, so glorious.
Alyssa sucked him deep. Tiernan didn’t want to move, but the scent of her arousal deepened, making his mouth water and his wolf push him to taste her, claim her as if he hadn’t blood-bonded her. But with his cock down her throat, he wasn’t moving. A pack of shifters couldn’t drag him away from that intense pleasure.
Her knees rose as she planted her feet flat on the floor and adjusted her body, angling her head until his cock struck the back of her throat. On and off of him, she bobbed, driving him mad.
His eyes focused on her panties and his sweater that he’d loosely tied to her legs to keep her warm. With a simple tug, the sweater fell off of her, exposing long, toned legs that he envisioned wrapping around his waist as he thrust into her. Later… This position was too good to give up.
Tiernan let his tongue glide along her inner thigh toward her hip, where he grabbed hold of the black panties and sliced through them with his canines. Very few shifters could partially shift and hold it, but he’d learned long ago how to descend his wolf’s teeth to cut through rope and escape, or in this case, access the hidden treasure beneath the silky material. He dipped his fingers into her sweet slick, drawing a moan from her.
He was done playing around. With no delay, he planted his head between her thighs and buried his entire face in her pussy, running his tongue through her folds, tasting every part of her before dipping into her entrance. His hips pumped, striking the back of her throat until her mouth clamped down on his cock, sending him over the edge. He released down her throat, loving that she swallowed his essence. His face now coated in her juices, his dick still hard, he sucked on her clit, the need to send her flying her paramount. As his cock slid from her, he sucked her swollen nub into his mouth while he inserted three fingers into her.
“Ooh, yes… just like…” She exploded, her inner walls clamping against his fingers and her legs squeezing his head, trapping him. No fucking place he’d rather be.
Finally, her legs relaxed, her toes flexed, and her breathing evened out. “So good, Tiernan.”
“Yes, very good, Tiernan,” Rafe said from the door.

ALYSSA
“Rafe!”Alyssa yelled out, twisting her head as far as she could at the sound of his voice. She hadn’t felt the cold air rush in when he opened the door. She’d been too lost in the orgasm Tiernan had given her and in the oneness she’d felt with him.
Despite her excitement at seeing Rafe, she could barely rise off the floor without his hand steadying her. She wasn’t sure if it was the hours of walking, the cold damp weather, or just having come down from an earth-shattering orgasm.
