The Hunt {PatientOne & Enigma_x}

Alex smiled as she told him that she needed him inside of her and that made him look up at her while he continued to lick and suckle on her.
'So impatient.'
Was all he said as he whispered into her mind and continued on what he was doing. He'd barely been there for a few moments. Licking and sucking on her a bit more he slipped his finger free and sucked it clean before sliding up her body and as his lips met hers, his cock slid inside of her.

Reaching down he hooked an arm under the back of her knee and angled her hips to the side, allowing a much deeper entry as he slowly slid inside. Despite the time frame between their last love making, her body conformed to his size a lot easier this time and as he began a slow thrust, his abs flexing with each thrust, his hips weren't moving like before. He wasn't hammering inside or trying to see how deep he could get. This time it was slow and even thrusts. Still going as deep as ever, but he was allowing her pleasure ample time to collect and build. Moaning as his hand laced with hers he moved his mouth from her lips and moved to her neck where he kissed and nipped her skin softly.

To make his scent a little stronger in her he moved back to her lips and bit the inside of his cheek so that she'd taste a little bit of his blood in her mouth.
'Now you'll smell like me for a few weeks.'
He said as he smiled into the kiss. The more of his blood that she got into her system, the stronger the smell, and vise versa. Which was why the first few weeks after he'd originally bit her, he smelled like her more than he did his own scent. Now he would never bite her like that again but it did give her an idea that if she he bit her good, he'd be smelling like her for quite some time. Adding on that his seed would be swelling inside of her as well.

After a few moments of him working her with his thrusts he showed her that tonight was all about her and he rolled them so that he was on his back and she was over him. Running his hands along her hips and sides, cupping her breasts as he moved his hips with hers. Sitting up he moved his hands to her back, stroking her skin as he kissed up her neck and chin before finding her lips again, his hands soon moving to her backside and gripping the soft globes tightly.
"I love you Natalia. More than you'll ever know."
Sure he could have said that into her mind, but hearing it with her ears was a whole different bucket of emotions.

As she continued to ride him, keeping to the pace that he'd set, making this a love making session rather than angry sex or just balls to the wall fucking like they'd had before, he smiled as he heard her comment on how handsome he was. Running his hands along her body he continued to thrust up against her as she came down on him, the silk like juices from her sex made his movements fluid and smooth. When she mentioned how she wanted to marry him he nodded as he sat up.
"That can be arranged."
Alex had been born a wolf. This was how he knew. However some of his pack had been turned and kept some of their human traditions. A few of them even wore wedding rings. Mainly for the humans that they were around every now and then.

Humans didn't rely on scent as a no go for others, it was more visual. Still, he would go out and get her a ring as well as wear one for her. He'd give her a wedding too if that was what she wanted. Continuing to move with her he felt his need for release building. The slow pace allowed a lot more potent pleasure to stir into his system all at once and he was more focused on the feeling as they were. As his shaft thickened inside of her he smiled when she mentioned them taking a break. He'd actually been planning that after this next raid.

"I was actually planning that love. After this raid. Raven is going to assume command while I take you to my lake house for the week."
He said as he smiled at her and sat up as he kissed her lips deeply.
'We'll finish this conversation later. Just keep going...I'm close.'
He whispered hotly into her mind as his thrusts got a little quicker and his grip tightened. It was his usual thing when he was close to cumming. As he gripped her he did decide to give her a bit of a tease. Using the juices that were freely flowing from her he coat his middle finger as he held her ass cheeks and right as he was on that blissful edge he stroked her anus with his slick digit.

Feeling her walls tighten in surprise from his actions he growled out a moan as he bit her shoulder. His fangs sinking in enough that he tasted her blood while his seed pulsed within her womb, filling her with that warm swirling sensation.

Before Natalia had fallen asleep, Alex informed her that he did mean what he said about taking her to the lake house, which seemed to make her mood brighten that much more. Over the next few days, Alex had spoken to Angel a few times and she went with him to help him pick out the ring that he'd get for Natalia. While he knew that Natalia probably wouldn't want anything big and flashy, the possessive part of him wanted a ring that told human males to back the fuck off. So, thanks to some advice from Angel, he went with a ring that wasn't exactly huge but it was unique in design and even had two beautiful sapphire gems embedded into the ring.

When Maria found him he was holding the ring in the small box and looking at it while he sat on a chair. He wasn't sure how exactly to ask her since he'd been born and raised a wolf. Human traditions weren't something he really paid attention to. When he heard someone coming he put the ring away then looked over to see Maria. Mentally giving a sigh of relief that it wasn't Natalia. Listening to her he lifted up the box and showed her the ring.
"How does this work? I was born and raised as a wolf. We don't really pay much attention to human traditions but I want this to be special for her. Given that she's never had something like this, I want it to be a day to remember."
He said as he looked a little annoyed that he had to ask for help but at the same time, he was really wanting to make sure that Natalia got everything she wanted.

As he listened to Maria give him hints and telling him the traditions he nodded, making mental notes with everything she was saying. When she was done and after she informed him of a dress she'd seen her sister really focusing on, he decided to enlist Angel once more for some help on getting ideas on wedding dresses and what not. So that meant Angel and her team training with Natalia and her team. Over the course of the next few days Alex got bits and pieces of information from Angel. He spent some time talking to Sarah and Maria. Telling them that the day after the raid, they were going to take Angel, Natalia and a few other females to go wedding dress shopping, courtesy of his credit card. This seemed to make all of the females rather excited.

The day of the raid, Alex was standing in the forest outside of the lab. They were about a mile away from the lab with all of the wolves. Alex rolled his shoulders and his neck as he was mentally preparing himself and as he saw his mate walk over in her usual gear he smiled and kissed her forehead, then whispered into her ear.
"Be careful love. Your mother is taking you, Angel, Maria and a few other females wedding dress shopping tomorrow."
He said that as he knew she'd keep that in the back of her mind and she'd make damn sure no Hunter prevented her from doing that tomorrow.

Maria had given sound advice on how to propose to Natalia. Since she wasn’t used to that kind of attention, Maria suggested somewhere serene and meaningful. The moment Alex showed her the ring a soft squeal escaped her lips. It was met with her full approval. No doubt Natalia would love it; it was different to most engagement rings, and that’s exactly what Natalia liked, something with a little edge. “Oh, trust me. She won’t forget it.” Maria did her best to comfort Alex, he didn’t know how many spot on choices he’d made so far. “Besides, all she really wants is you. And since you’ll be giving her that, she’ll be happy.” With that, she left. From that moment on Maria was set on finding various gifts and spreading the word around the pack. They revolved around small things, such as vouchers for trips and spa treatments. Something her sister would never choose for herself.

The day of the mission had finally come around. Natalia had been training around the clock to make sure she was at her peak physical form. She had also been clocking in some over time with Raven and Angel for her wolf training, which seemed to be surpassing most at this stage. The constant work out that the pair gave her was increasing her abilities in ways she didn’t think was possible. The wolves were prepared and standing outside of the lab in the early morning hours. It was the best time to strike as patrols were usually slower at this time. Once Natalia had checked in with her group, she briskly made her way over toward Alex with a warm smile curving over her red tinted lips. “Oh, is that so?” The blonde chuckled softly as she felt his warm kiss against her forehead. “I know you’re new to this but… I asked Raven and Ice to arrange you a bachelor party for tomorrow.”

As much as she wanted to talk about their plans, Natalia nodded toward the lab. “Lets just make it through this first.” With a light smack to his rear, Natalia began to jog toward her group, pointing them in the direction for the first wave of attacks. Much to her kin’s surprise, the female began to strip, dropping her clothing to the ground without a care. From all the training she’d been doing, she felt confident enough to fight in her true form. The change was over in seconds, the large mixed brown wolf rose her muzzle into the air, inhaling the scent of the area before leading the charge toward the side entrance they had planned to hit first.

There was a flurry of attacks the moment they broke into the facility. The wolves swiftly took out the guards, dashing into hallways and racing through the place. Natalia quickly changed routes, taking the hallway toward the ‘experiments’. A warning alarm blared out, one of the prison like cells popped open, a large male storming out, his footfalls seemed to shake the very ground she stood on. There was no way anyone was going to stop her from getting that dress fitting tomorrow, not even an experimented human on a major steroid rage.

The pair fought, Natalia tore into any flesh she could get her jaws around. It wasn’t long before she pulled him onto the floor, leaping atop his form until she’d shred every piece of armor protecting his body. Without hesitation, she snapped her jaws around his throat and clamped down, her fangs breaking into his flesh. The chemical coppery taste filled her mouth, much to her disdain. As she tore out the flesh in a large chunk, the female spat out what she could and continued on. As their plan listed, she began to shift and set out on the hunt for flammable chemicals. It didn’t take her long to coat the west wing of the lab with highly a flammable mixture.

As she was rushing back to the centre, she noticed just how dark the place was. Some people may imagine a lab as clean, shiny and white. Almost hospital like, in some ways. Not this one. It was far more of a dungeon than a facility. The walls were formed from pure cement and chunks of grey brick. It looked like a place that had been created and then forgotten for hundreds of years. Even their lighting seemed out of date, wires trailing along the ceilings. It was perfect to start a fire, so Natalia wasn’t complaining.

Once she neared the main corridor she paused, a man stood before a closed gate, blocking her path to the main building. Dressed in a lab coat, it was obvious that he worked there. The male was older, possibly in his fifties. Natalia took note of the syringe in his right hand, angled toward her as he began to charge, causing her to shift instantly. No doubt it was a sample of the drug he’d been giving the rest of the hunters. Natalia was swift enough to bite down on his wrist, causing him to drop the poison. In moments, she’d floored him. What she didn’t expect was a swift switch blade to slide across her upper hind leg, causing a slight sting of pain. His life was soon ended with several slams of her paws into his skull, blood and brain matter spilling out of his broken cranium as the she wolf bounded toward the gate. The female was not impressed with the wound that had found itself a place on her thigh, at least she'd wanted a garter.

It was about time for them to set the bomb off, but surely they’d noticed she wasn’t there. The gate was remote controlled; it couldn’t be unlocked with keys. If she couldn’t escape before someone hit the switch, she’d be consumed in the blast. A loud, piercing howl coursed through the facility, causing the experiments to bang against their bars, ready to be unleashed onto the wolves.

Alex and the main Hell hound force was right at the front gate the moment the attack happened. They took the brunt of the defense forces while smaller teams entered through other areas. The other teams were assigned with helping to set explosives while keeping an eye on Natalia and her team. A majority of the Hunter's that came to Alex and his group were brutes who were so pent up on steroids and rage that they were way too wild to make any real damage. Easily distracted and just as easily removed.

Alex and his team were soon pushing into the lab and taking down anything in their path while collecting anything they could. Angel and her team were hot on Natalia's heels and keeping pace with them. When Angel saw Natalia go a different way she gave orders for her team to back up Nat's team while she followed after her friend. Angel got a little tied up in the hall while Nat was in the lab but as she saw Nat leaving the remains of a scientist she caught up to her.
'Always gotta go a different way.'
She said with a huff as she looked at Nat's thigh.
'Team work...remember. There's no I in Team.'

With that she led Nat out of the lab through one of the side entrances and met up with the two teams. A collection of howls sounded through the facility as it was a signal that all remaining wolves needed to exit asap. Alex had just removed his mouth from one of the Hunters throats and went to leave when he felt a pain in his shoulder. Looking over he saw a blade buried into his fur. Growling a bit it seemed that the Hunter had gotten a lucky stab in. Reaching down he grabbed the blade with his teeth and pulled it out of his shoulder before limping out of the building.

The wolves all gathered back in the woods, coming back in groups as they were carrying their wounded. No one was killed. A few bad injuries sure but no deaths which was a big win for them. Natalia's team were the one's who set off the explosives. Alex ordered Nat and her team as well as most of the Hell hounds to leave and head home while he and a select few stayed around to make sure that no one made it out. Angel, when everyone made it back, took Nat and some of her team to the medical wing to patch them up.

Alex stayed in the forest with the small group and ended up killing three more Super Hunter's who'd managed to survive the explosions and pull themselves out of the rubble. They were pretty easy to kill as they were so damaged from the explosion and the cave in. Once that was all said and done, Alex and his team also headed back about two hours after the main force had made it home. Sighing a bit as he sat on a medical table he let Angel patch up his shoulder, he needed stitches for this one since the stab was so deep.

"Where's Natalia?"
He asked as Angel was wrapping some ace bandage around the wound.

Alex had been told to stay away from the room when the females got back from their shopping spree which wasn't hard since he was in his office most of the day with Raven. The two of them had been going over the things that Raven would be taking care of while Alex was gone. None of it was actually business. The bulk of it was transforming the back of the house into a place where they could hold the wedding. Despite most of his pack being born as wolves they all seemed rather excited about the wedding. Tor, a male in Natalia's team, was going to be the male walking her down the isle as he was an older male and had grown close to Natalia in an almost fatherly way.

He watched out for her, and simply treated her like a pup despite the fact that she was his team leader. Alex liked Tor. He was a good male. Some of he members of he pack who were good with instruments would be the live band and there was even a DJ that they would hire. Maria seemed very excited about this too, as did Sarah. Something else that Alex had just found out about and that was being hidden discretely from Natalia was that apparently Ice had felt a bond link to Maria. He wasn't acting on it of course but he was spending a lot more time with her. Wolves could bond with another after their mate passed but it usually took 5 years or more of mourning. In his case, Ice had been mourning for seven, almost eight years now and this was the first time he'd ever felt that bonding instinct towards any female.

Alex was happy for the male, Maria was happy he was spending more time with her and that he'd bonded, but NO ONE was telling Natalia just yet...for good reason of course. Heading up the stairs later that night the females had been home for about two hours now. He figured that was enough time but as he opened the door he jerked his head back as a heel came firing his way. Hearing her voice and what she said he sighed as he looked at the shoe. Picking it up he shut the door and waited till she opened it again. Handing her the shoe he rubbed his face.
"Two hours. I gave you two hours and that still wasn't enough?"
He asked as he shook his head and kissed her lips.

They'd gone to bed early that night because they were both exhausted. Not getting much sleep between the raid and the shopping spree. Curled in his arms when they woke Alex and Natalia showered, dressed and packed. While their luggage was being loaded into a car Alex made a few quick checks with Raven before he joined Natalia in the car and drove two in a half hours away to his private lake house. It was a place his parents owned and he often went there when he needed some time alone. Compared to the pack house it was very small but that was how he liked it. Small, comfortable and rustic.

Parking outside the house he stepped out with Natalia and slid his arm around her as he looked at the house. The last time he'd been there was a year after his father had died. He'd taken his mother there to help her calm down and relax. Feeling a slight sting in his chest he sighed as he leaned down and kissed her forehead.
"Come on."
He said as he smiled and grabbed their luggage. Taking it to the master bedroom he set the bags down and started a fire to get some heat in the house. Everything was regularly cleaned by pack members and they'd dropped by last night to do last minute touch ups as well as put food in the freezer and fridge as well as fresh logs in the fire place.

Walking onto the deck with his mate he looked out over the lake and saw the glass like water reflecting the sun and the trees off on the shore. Smiling at her he kissed her as he held her for a moment then looked at her. Thinking back to what Maria had told him he held her hands in his as he was obviously nervous, mainly because he wanted to make sure he did this right.
"Despite the fact that I seem to anger you in ways no one else can...I hope you know that I love you with every ounce of my being. I will never let harm come your way without a serious fight and I will treasure every waking moment I have with you..."
He said as he slipped down to one knee in front of her and reached into his pocket. Pulling the small box up he opened it to show the ring and smiled at her.

"Natalia. Will you marry me?"
He asked as he hoped to the heavens he'd done that right.

Alex smiled as she seemed to choke up and as she took the ring he ignored her little jest about thinking about it. Seeing that the ring was a good fit he made a mental note to thank Tor for his knowledge and sneakily getting her ring size during training. How he'd managed to do that still boggled his mind. Shaking that from his head he slid his hands along her waist and smiled as he returned the kiss and stood up with her, lifting her small frame into his arms as he held her and kissed along her neck as he walked her into the house.

The fire had started to heat up the house so he decided to hold off on the love making for the moment simply because he had an idea.
"How about we explore the area and just relax for now. Today is supposed to be a special day, not just ring and sex."
He said as he smiled at her. For him to ignore the idea of sex was a first for him but he set her down and pointed to the mountains out beyond the hills.
"I used to go there a lot as a pup."
He said as he smiled and took her to the room where he helped to strip her down as well as himself. She had to take her ring off unfortunately but he set it on the night stand.

Shifting into their wolf forms the two of them headed out and running through a new forest would really excite her she wolf. New smells, sights and sounds. Running in front of her so that she could follow he took her to see the mountain. There, they found a massive open plain that was quiet and peaceful. Off along the tree line to this plain were tombstones. Hundreds of them.
'This is the most peaceful place we could find. All of the wolves that have died during this war are here. My father included.'
Walking over to the tombstone that was his father's he brought her there as a sort of spiritual thing. Wanting his father to meet his mate.

Sitting down at the tomb he pawed the dirt and sighed a bit before he gave a silent prayer and rubbed his muzzle along her neck. A few moments of sitting there they ran across the plain and came to a large cliff overlooking a massive lake.
'This is where I grew up. My parents wanted me to have a peaceful life while I was a pup. We try and bring pups out here to show them the lighter side of life before introducing them to the war. It's a late start for you, but I did say we try and bring the pups here.'
A bark like laugh came from him as he was referring to her as a pup again even though technically she was the same rank as any wolf Captain now after defeating Jasmine.
