The Alpha Killer

Talia Stillwater’s POV

Sulphur River Pack House, TX

Work called for both of us, I guess. Randall was dejected, he was really looking forward to spending time with me and I with him. Hell, we hadn’t even made love since I had returned, and now there wouldn’t be a chance. “It’s all right,” I told him. “The Council headquarters needs leadership, and with me gone and Jacque still in Denver with his new mate Denise, someone needs to return.”

“I hate my job,” Randall said as he pulled me into his arms.

I kissed him, my arms around his waist. “Your job is important, the FBI needs to get all these people that worked or supported the slave traders that hurt my sister,” I said. “We’re so close to fulfilling my blood vow, to letting me be free again. I need you to do your job and come back to me.”

He let out a sigh. “I wish you were there with me.”

“You need to protect me, if any evidence appears that ties me or the others to the island attack, you need to be there to deal with it.”

“Fine.”

Dad came over and put his arms around both of us. “I’m sending a driver to take you to the airport, you guys have been doing too much and you can at least have the drive together,” he said. “Buy your tickets and pack, I’ll have the car ready in fifteen minutes.”

I hugged him, thanking him for the thought. It was a long drive, and now he wouldn’t be driving. I got on my phone and bought a ticket to Pittsburgh, while Randall bought a ticket to Miami. By the time we drove to the Dallas airport and boarded our planes, we were catching the last flights of the night. I didn’t have much to pack, so I put a bag together quickly and dressed in comfortable clothes for the flight. Randall was used to this, so he was ready just as fast. We said our goodbyes and went outside.

The driver was waiting, a young female Omega driving a big Expedition. I raised my eyebrows when she opened the back door and I saw the back seats had been removed, replaced by a mattress and a bunch of pillows. “Your mom?”

“Yeah. She must want pups something fierce.” We put our bags in the passenger seat and climbed onto the comfortable love nest created for the trip. I kicked my shoes off, leaving them by the door, and as the big truck pulled out of the driveway I was taking my clothes off and folding them up. I didn’t care if the driver could see or hear, the windows were heavily tinted and we had sheets. I had my mate and I was going to take advantage of him.

“Don’t mind me, you two have fun,” she said. “I remember when I was first mated, the wolf wants what it does so enjoy the drive.” She had put ear buds in and sunglasses on, focused on the drive.

“Get naked,” I told Randall as I started arranging the pillows and slipped under the sheet. He hung up his suit, blocking the other back seat window, then pulled off the rest of his clothes and set them on top of mine. He was just as ready as I was, and I jumped him as soon as he was under the sheets. The movement of the truck added to my own, and I rode him to my first orgasm before we left Pack lands.

We took a break between sessions, sitting together and talking about what was next. “What do you think Jacque will do,” Randall asked. “Stay with Denise or return to the Council?”

“I’m not sure. Should we call them?”

“No video call, they’re probably in the same condition,” he said with a chuckle.

He grabbed his phone and called his sister on speakerphone, she picked up after a few rings. “Randall? What’s going on?”

“Work calls, we’re on our way to the airport. I’m on my way to Miami, and Talia is heading back to Council Headquarters,” he said. Feeling mischievous, I worked my hand down his stomach to where his cock lay sticky against his thigh. Stroking it lightly, I felt it twitch and start to come back to life.

“That’s too bad. Do you need Jacque back at headquarters, Talia?” I heard him come to the phone as she put it on speaker.

“That’s what I need to talk to you about,” I said. “Elections are going to be held soon, and when the new Chair comes in he will bring in a new Chief Enforcer as well, someone he knows and trusts. I know Jacque is a good man, but there’s no guarantee of future employment.”

“I am aware of that,” Jacque said. “I did commit to perform my duties in your absence, and I have work to do on the elections.”

“That work can be done remotely if you wish,” I responded. “I’m heading back, I’m also a stopgap there until the new Chairman comes. My mate is going to be busy with work for a while, there’s no point in both of us being miserable.”

Randall chuckled. “What my mate is trying to say is that your mating changed everything for you. Denise has family and a Pack, a spot as Beta. Has Dallas talked to you about staying on as his Betas?”

Denise chuckled. “He wants me to. Vivian is helping me run up the bidding for our services. The possibility that I might leave with Jacque for the council is helping to drive the price up.”

I smiled, thinking she knew just how far to push her brother. “If you are happy there, stay there. Jacque, I will need you back in a week for the elections and the turnover, but there’s no point in returning now.” I had my mate hard now, my fingers slowly jacking him as he fought to remain calm.

“We have to talk some more then,” Jacque said. “Thank you for letting me stay here with my mate. Do you need me to do anything while you are traveling?”

“No, I have everything I need right here,” I said as I squeezed his shaft and he bit back a moan.

“I’ll call you back tonight, Randall,” Denise said as I moved down his body.

“I love you,” he said as he looked at me before he hung up. “You naughty little…” He didn’t say anything else as I took him into my mouth and sucked hard. I used my tongue to swirl around his head, then dropped lower until he was in my throat. I loved the feeling of having him helpless before me. I watched as his eyes rolled back and he fisted the sheets when my nose reached his groin. “Oh Luna that’s good,” he said.

I worked him for another minute before popping off. “I need more,” I said as I turned my back to him. He held his rod in place as I moved over it before sinking down in a reverse cowgirl position. “Fuck yeah.”

“I love this view,” he said as I started to bounce up and down on him. I knew what he meant; my training and bloodlines had left me with a sculpted body and almost no fat. My ass was high and firm, and the muscles of my back and legs moved as I fucked down on him. I started rubbing my clit with my fingers while my other hand steadied me in place.

The bond in place between us made the sex amazing, and I lost track of how many times my man brought me to climax. Finally, he grabbed my hips and held me tight as his hips rose to me. I came one last time as he filled me with his seed.

I didn’t let him go, I shifted with him until I was lying on my side with him spooning me from behind. We fell asleep together, happy and satisfied.

“Wake up, lovers,” our driver said loudly. I looked up, the afternoon sun was bright and I could see road signs. Sitting up under the sheet, I could see the cars surrounding us on the freeway. “We’re twenty minutes from the airport. You might want to clean up and dress,” she said with a smile as she handed back a box of baby wipes. I looked at her, and she started laughing. “His mom thinks of everything.”

I took the box, pulling out a couple to clean up the mess we had made of each other. We moved the soiled sheets out of the way, then deflated the airbed and rolled it to the back. Putting the back seat up, we climbed over and grabbed our clothes so we could dress. “You’re amazing,” Randall said as he buttoned his dress shirt again.

“I’m the lucky one,” I said. “I never expected to have any of this, to have anything like you in my life. Thank you, love.” I kissed him deeply before sitting back and pulling on my yoga pants.

We got to the airport and got through, but we were in different terminals, so I had to say goodbye after we went through security. I got to my gate only to find out that the aircraft coming from Pittsburgh had a mechanical problem, and the return flight was cancelled. I went to a counter, and when I finally got to the front of the line there was nothing leaving for Pittsburgh before morning. “How about another airport,” I asked.

“There’s a flight to Syracuse in twenty minutes,” the agent said.

“I’ll take it.” Getting my new boarding pass, I sent a text with the flight update back to my secretary in the Chairman’s office. She told me she would send Enforcers to pick me up, given the distance we would get there about the same time. I remembered from my time in New Orleans that there was a Coven in Syracuse.

Reaching out to them in friendship would be a good start, as they were the closest Coven other than Pittsburgh. I called Jarrod and asked him what he thought. “I know Master Leonardo, but we aren’t friends. Your idea has merit, I will speak to him and ask him to meet with you.”

“Thank you, Jarrod. I have to go, I’m boarding now.”

“I’ll text you with details. It will be dark well before you land so you can meet near the airport. Have a good flight, Talia. I love you.”

“I love you too, Jarrod. Thanks for everything.” I hung up and boarded the crowded aircraft, thankful that I had upgraded to first class. My secretary had been sending me material all day long, things that needed to be dealt with for the organization to function. She had been going nuts with both Jacques and I out of the office and the rest of the Council dead or resigned. I spent most of the flight going through the papers, making assignments and approving what I could. I’d transmit it all when we landed.

I arrived in town just after eleven PM and walked out through baggage claim. I could smell the werewolves waiting, they nodded respectfully towards me as one held the door open for me. I had pulled my phone out and caught up with the messages; one was from Jarrod. It included the private phone number of Master Leonardo. I pressed the number, and it started to ring. “Miss Stillwater, I was surprised to hear you would be in my town,” the deep voice said with an French accent.

“It was short notice, my flight to Pittsburgh was cancelled but it gave me an idea. As you know, I’m temporarily in charge of the Werewolf Council and you are one of the closest Covens to it. I was wondering if you would like to meet, informally and socially, so we could get to know each other.”

He didn’t respond right away. “I must confess I am a curious man, and we haven’t had a creature like you around in over a millennia. I take it you just landed?”

“Yes, I’m just leaving the airport now.”

“Wonderful. I request the honor of dining with you at the Texas de Brazil restaurant. I will be dining in a private room, let the staff know and they will bring you to me. Alone.”

“That sounds wonderful,” I said. “It was a sudden trip and I haven’t really eaten, and I’m sure you will be good company. I will see you in thirty minutes,” I said.

“I look forward to it.” He hung up, and I texted the details to both Jarrod and Randall. I wasn’t sure how to take his insistence that we be alone, but I wasn’t going to back out either. If we as a species were going to make this work, I had to extend the hand of friendship.

My Enforcers were not as understanding. “Ma’am, we’re under orders to protect you and you’re going to a private room with a Master Vampire. You can see the problem with that,” the driver said.

“This is a social call, and I’m capable of taking care of myself even against a vampire,” I said. We arrived, and I left my guards in the bar area while I went to see the hostess. “Talia, my date is waiting for me in a private room?”

“Of course, dear,” she said as she looked at me. I was younger and not dressed for a night out, I could sense her confusion but she recovered quickly. I was led back through the fancy place to a small room overlooking the lake. A handsome man, in his forties with salt and pepper hair feathered back along the left side, stood at the single table and smiled at me.

“Thank you for seeing me, Leonardo,” I said as I walked to him and extended my hand.

He took it in his, bringing my hand to his nose and taking a good sniff as he kissed the back of it. “The pleasure is mine, Mademoiselle,” he said smoothly. “Please, join me.” He pulled out the chair opposite him, I sat and her returned to his seat as soon as I was settled. “I’ve taken the liberty of ordering wine, and the food will be here shortly,” he said.

He wasn’t kidding. A parade of servers came through, and my plate was soon filled with four kinds of meat, potatoes, vegetables and bread. We ate like old friends, sharing two bottles of wine as I told him my story. He was a true gentleman, witty and intelligent, and I enjoyed the evening quite a bit. “I wish I could stay longer, but I have a long drive and much work waiting for me,” I finally said as we finished the crème’ brulee with fresh strawberries. “The meal was fantastic, just what I needed.”

“It was a pleasure dining with you, Talia. You are nothing like I expected,” he said.

“I spent four years living in a coven, Leonardo. I consider Jarrod to be my surrogate father, his family is mine. I have a werewolf family as well, and it is my dream we all find a way to live and thrive in peace,” I said as I stood.

“I have no doubt you will change many minds, Talia. I find your candor refreshing.”

He paid the bill as I used the ladies room, and I gave him a hug at the entrance before we left. “Thank you for a lovely evening,” I said.

“Have a safe drive,” he replied. “Your mate is a lucky man.”

I smiled as I walked out with my escort. “I’m the lucky one,” I said as I walked out.

Master Leonardo’s POV

I waited a few minutes after she left before I followed my men to our car. After getting in, I dialed the number. “You were right, she is dangerous,” I said. “Her ideas have their own appeal, and her own life shows it can work. If she is able to speak to the Packs and Covens, she will bring many to her side,” I said.

“And you see why she needs to be eliminated, and quickly,” Mistress Daniela said. “I will need your help, and for that you will be rewarded with power and money,” she said.

“I’m sure I will.” I hung up, my driver returning me to our home. She had given me a lot to think about.
