“Good girl,” he says with a chuckle. “I’ll see you later, hopefully.”
I hear the heavy boots as he trots away from me.
After a heavy breath, I move away from everyone. I tried to stand up for the kids. I tried. And I looked small and helpless doing it. Leaving the Human only mess hall and outside into the small community we have, I see Rome, climbing into the Jeep he has parked outside.
His dark eyes find mine instantly, but I look away very quickly. His heavy laughter fills the air.
“Artemis,” Willow shouts, chasing after me. I see the buildings of the small town before she catches up to me. “Hey. Don’t listen to him.” Her hand wraps around my wrist and she pulls me to a halt.
I try to pull away, but she wouldn’t let me go. “Willow!”
“You will never be sacrificed.”
“Be real. We are nothing, but low humans.” I pull back hard as tears roll down my face.
Lately, I can’t tell which is worse. Being a meal for the famous boogieman that only comes out once every spring or being a slave to the shifters.
She sighs, looking up at me with soft green eyes. Her fingers run into the roots of her long, curly red hair. It drops against her ivory shoulders again. Willow and I have always been friends from birth. The older humans told us we’ve always been inseparable and were born only a few days apart from each other. This was our first year being a part of the huge ceremony that happened every spring.
My bottom lip quivers.
She touches my shoulder. “Come on. Let’s go home.”
I nod, using my palms to wipe away my rogue tears. Willow gets to cooking as soon as we get back with the other ladies that live in the small house, further making me feel useless, but I clean up while she showers.
The front door opens while I’m washing dishes. It is common in the community to not lock the doors. None of us have anything of value.
At least not us.
I hear a squeal from one of the older ladies who are drying the dishes. Glancing over, I see the tall figure of our Alpha, taking up most of the doorway of the back door.
Crash! I drop the plate back in the sink immediately, turning fully to him. “Hello, Alpha Warren.”
He flashes a beautiful smile. “Hello… is, uh, Willow here?”
I nod. “She’s… in the shower.”
He nods. “I will… wait in her room, if you don’t mind. We have, uh, important business to talk about.”
Business…
I nod, returning to my dishes. He knows where it is. I hear his footsteps receding up the old wooden steps. A large smile breaks across my lips as my cheeks heat up. The alpha is a very handsome older man. His black hair is full of speckle greys and his eyes are a deep sky blue. His smile lights up rooms.
And yet, Willow and Warren wouldn’t be doing much talking. Their business isn’t quiet either. There would be no reason to have business with a human when you’re an alpha.
By the time I get ready for bed with the others and make it into my small closet of a room, I can hear them going at it. The bed knocks right against my wall at a steady thudding pace. My throat runs dry as I crawl under the covers.
She moans loudly, earning a shush from him.
I smile. I already know they won’t be quiet. We all know. There’s almost twenty women living in this house. We all know what happens when he comes over.
I sit in the dark, listening closely to the knocking bed and soft moans. After a moment, a growl slips from his lips. With wide eyes, my thighs tighten together. His growls are animalistic and make my vagina wet instantly. That always gets to me. Her moans are high pitched, and sound faked, but his growls… They are genuine.
My hand travels over my gown, touching my rose bud nipples. I shouldn’t do this, but they are hard from the cold night and sensitive from the sex in the next room. I gasp, pinching one before kneading it. My other hand finds my clit - or that’s what Willow has called it. She taught me all I know about my body. She only knows what Warren taught her. Unlike her, most women here are virgins, including me. My index finger nervously pokes at the nub.
My body twitches and heat washes through me like a wave. I gasp as Warren begins to growl and groan more. The bed knocks harder at the wall.
He’s close.
