Alpha Scent (Amber Woods Shifters) (18 page)

Pushing a handful of carrots on the table, she shook her head.

“That’s because there is an army out there to feed, an army of wolves, who will be hungry, needing there strength before this mission”

Brian
na began chopping, whilst Lizzy stirred the soup.

“Cora, tell me about the women that were taken?”

“Well, two were born in this pack the younger recently joined, very kind and devoted. All quite young, Niamh, only thirty. Anwen and Kyla are a little older, they were due to be mated to two of our enforcers the week before they were taken. We need them back, safe within the pack, god knows what has been done to them, I cannot bear to think!”

Cora wiped her eyes in frus
tration. Both Brianna and Lizzy wrapped their arms around them.

“We will find them and we will get them out Cora, I am going to do everything in my power to do that” Brianna responded.

“Well you just make sure that nothing happens to you two, or I will come and bray the hide out of Marcus and Connor, those two are your mates to protect you!”

“Who
a back up here, mates?” Lizzy asked.

Cora turned to grab both o
f Lizzy’s.

“I may be an older wolf now but I still see the pull of the mating call between you and Connor, he cares a great deal for you”

“And I care about him Cora, but mates? That may be some time off yet”

Cora patted her cheek.

“We shall see” she smirked.

Lizzy
looked to Brianna for help who was very interested in the angle in which she could cut a carrot. Huffing she continued to stir the soup.

After half an hour the food for lunch was ready to be taken to the table. Brianna was just about to slice the bread when she heard her phone ringing in her pocket. Both women turned to look at her.
The caller ID showed as Lunar Security, so she presumed it was Murdoch.

“How can I get a signal now?” she asked.

“Oh Marcus had some sort of fancy signal booster fitted in the houses so we could communicate better, after your little trip to Katie’s coffee shack, he arranged it quickly after. He had Luke set it up, because of all his knowledge in that area” Cora grinned.

Laughing, Brianna opened the call.

Hello?

Brianna
?.......

Yes, Murdoch? I can just hear you, hang on I’ll move outside

Ok………

Gesturing to Lizzy
and Cora she trailed out to the back of the pack house, walking to the far end of the property.

Murdoch? Can you hear me better now?

It’s getting better, bloody hell how deep are you in that area?

Very deep, I have some updates for you.

Brianna settled herself on a fallen log, explaining everything that had happened since she last spoke with him.

Shit, the council will probably have to be told, but that will be up to Marcus

Yeah I know

Brianna did not think it was appropriate to mention that she had been mated to her client. That would not go down well with Murdoch at the moment.

Anyway, Bri, I have some further information on that Bradley Turner. Yesterday afternoon, someone tried to access our systems, they were good, using the most advanced software, and they were focusing on one particular section, which was personnel files

Shit!
Did they get in?

They only got so far before we managed to lock it down. Jason has been analysing since it happened and he has tracked it to a computer, in the same complex you are investigating. We cracked the ID and it was from someone called Rhett Donovan. More interestingly, Turner received a deposit from him this morning in his account.

What were they trying to find out?

Brianna, don’t throw a fit, I need you focused……….

Murdoch will you spit it out!

Jason traced exactly where the software was trying to infiltrate and it was your staff personnel file. If Rhett had got a hold of that it would have given him everything from your bank account to your past history.

The sneaky piece of shit!

Brianna stood quickly, her mind was racing with possibilities, she was furious that the former head of enforcers was trying to track her, but why?
Marching into the woods she kicked some loose branches that were lying on the ground.

I know we are still investigating it but the positive side of it is that he failed. My guess is that Turner may have supplied him with the software to infiltrate our systems and
Rhett paid him handsomely.

Ok thanks Murdoch, I’ll be in touch

Okay Bri, and please be safe, Lizzy and Luke as well

We will

Ending the call her wolf was clawing for action, her skin itched, the need to shift immense. Looking around she was still on pack territory, she needed to run, her mood had turned sour and she needed to get rid of the pent up aggression. Stripping her clothes, she lowered herself to the ground and let the shift take over her, her body was so charged from anger that she did not notice the pain of muscles stretching or the dislocation and realignment of her bones. Minutes later she was looking down at her black paws, her vision sharpened and acute, Moving her head from left to right she took off at a run to the right, deeper into the pack forest.

Marcus entered the kitchen with Connor, intent on finding his mate and getting some food in his body. Cora and Lizzy were laying the table in the dining room, adjoined to the kitchen.

“Have you seen Brianna?”

Lizzy looked up and blushed when she saw Connor walk toward her and take the heavy plates out of her hands to help her.

“
Erm, she had a call from Murdoch so she went outside to take it”

Marcus nodded his thanks, before following the faint scent of vanilla and honey. When he arrived at the back of the house, he could scent on an old tree branch that she had sat here not long ago. Heading deeper into the woods, he spotted her clothing and her phone piled up on some ferns. She shifted? Immediately he concentrated on their link.

Brianna, where are you?

There was no response initially but eventually he heard her voice.

About two miles in the woods, stop worrying I am still in pack territory

What’s wrong baby? Why did you shift?

Somebody pissed me off, I needed the run

Who pissed you off?

Marcus, it’s a long story I would rather not discuss it like this

Ok
, if you don’t want to discuss it like this then that’s ok baby

Brianna dug her paws into the soft earth to slow herself down. Did he just willingly agree to something she asked? Maybe he was learning that
he may try and dominate in the bedroom but outside of that she took control. Huffing she picked up her pace again. The early afternoon sun was just starting to dip behind the trees, the autumn leaves cool and crisp on the pads of her paws. Noticing a stream with a grassy embankment she slowed down again, gently walking down to the water’s edge. The water was cold but welcoming after her run. It truly was a special place and made her realise that this is what she had been missing all these years. Stepping back she lay down on the cool blades of grass, breathing in the last of the daylight air. Her nose twitched as she picked up on a different scent, her wolf knew all too well the familiar smell. Turning her head she watched as a stunning enormous black wolf stepped out of the trees, his green eyes focused on her. She realised it was the first time she seen Marcus in his wolf form. Pushing herself to all fours she circled with him never losing contact.

You followed me?

You ran baby, I will always chase my mate it is ingrained in me

Took you long enough

Two years, but never again.

Marcus lunged at her knocking her onto her back, before grabbing her neck in a gentle hold

Oh you want to play alpha

Maybe, amongst other things, now shift back

Brianna felt her body begin to change, how the hell did he do that? She felt his body change as well and moments later she felt his warm skin aligned with hers.

“
That’s scary shit Marcus, I never knew an alpha could do that”

“Only with his mate, comes in handy”

“For what?”

Marcus lifted her hips and plunged into her core, deep in one stroke.

“For this baby, taking you when I want you, giving pleasure to my mate until she begs me to make her come”

“I don’t beg i
f you remember?” she gasped

“Oh you will Brianna”

Sweeping down he kissed her hard, pushing his tongue into her mouth, stroking her canines. The electric sensation had her bucking her hips up to meet his. Marcus teased her pulling his shaft out slowly before gradually pushing back in inch by inch, again and again he repeated it.

“Marcus! Are you going to fuck me are tease me?”

“Are you begging?”

“No, I don’t beg!”

She gasped as he lifted her leg on his shoulder and slammed hard into her. Crying out she dug her nails into his back making her mark on his back. Marcus roared at the sensation. Picking up her other leg to place on his other shoulder he pounded into her over and over.

“You like that baby? You like how I take you like this, I smell your arousal, how wet you are for me”

Brianna shouted his name, the sound echoing around the trees.

“Scream louder baby, I want to hear my name on your lips”

She could feel a release building, digging her nails into his thighs urging him to go faster. To her disappointment he slowed down, bringing his body over hers, her legs fell to the side.

“Beg for me
Bri and you will have it”

“I will not beg”

“Have it your way then”

He pulled out of her slowly watching her reaction.

“Don’t you dare!” she yelled.

“Give me what I want baby and I will make you come”

“Screw you caveman!”

He had the nerve to laugh which infuriated Brianna more. Taking him off guard, she pushed him hard onto his back, straddling him, slowly lowering herself down on him.

“That’s not how this works Brianna”

She watched in appreciation as he
was gritting his teeth, trying to be the alpha male. When she was fully seated they both groaned out loud. His hands grabbed her hips, bringing her up then down in one hard thrust. Very slowly she rose off him, standing and walking nonchalantly away.

“
Oh you don’t get to do that to me she wolf” he snarled

Seconds later she was pinned against a tree, his teeth grazing her shoulder before biting down hard, pinning her in place. Crying out she felt his legs push her thighs apart before
sinking deep into her core with his cock. He never let go off his bite, she knew he was asking her to submit, to beg. Her core pulsed and she could feel the sexual energy coming off him. It was too much, bringing her head back to rest against his back he growled his approval. Pulling out of her, his arms brought her onto all fours, spreading her legs with his hands. Lining up his cock she gripped the earth as he took her hard and deep. His pace was unrelenting, feeling his teeth graze her other shoulder, she moaned as he sunk his teeth into her skin. Her orgasm washed over her so quickly, she screamed at the release.

“I want more baby, I know you can give me more”

Pushing her onto her stomach he pinned her to the ground thrusting deeper. Electric sensations crawled up her skin before another explosion fired off inside of her. Grunting, he gave two more hard thrusts before yelling her name and emptying his seed into her, the fluid warm and inviting.

The cool afternoon air was fresh against their heated skin. Lying facing each other, his arms curled around her, fingers delicately rubbing circles on her back.

“So are you going to tell me why you went off alone in the woods, without telling me first?”

“Marcus I was still on pack lands and I am more than capable of defending myself” she said rolling her eyes.

“That makes no difference to me baby, until tonight the threat is still there, you could have put yourself in harm’s way”

Brianna pulled back to look up at his scowling face.

“Are you ever going to stop with the overprotective wolf thing?”

“Never, it’s for life so get used to it”

Gently he kissed her lips, lowering his hand to her hip. Again he asked her.

“So why did you go off alone, you said someone pissed you off?”

Rolling onto her back, she sighed as he traced circles in her stomach.

“Murdoch phoned. He had some more info for us. Turns out Lunar Securities system had an attempted hacking yesterday, somebody was trying to access the personnel files
, more specifically my personal staff file”
