True Wolf (Bennett Pack #3)

15. Zion

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

ZION

N essah was quiet, but smiling. Her thoughts were still heavy now that she knew her sister hadn’t betrayed her and was missing; but I made a promise that we would find her no matter what and I would keep my word.

At the moment, we had another problem. I slowed my car until I came to a complete stop. The change had Nessah’s eyes on me.

“What’s wrong?”

“Rolf’s feelings are hurt and he decided he doesn’t want to let it go.”

I motioned to the road not far from us where a truck was parked diagonally across the road, blocking our ability to pass. I glanced toward the truck just in time to see a wolf step into the glow of my headlights.

Nessah noticed too and I felt her concern. “That’s not Rolf.”

My wolf growled with how assured her tone was. As much as I hated it, she had a relationship with Rolf so she would recognize his wolf. I pushed those feelings aside.

“I didn’t think it would be. Rolf is a pussy. He sent Seth. Too much of a coward to show up for a fight he would lose.”

I yanked my T-shirt over my head and yanked at my laces enough to kick my shoes off.

When I noticed Nessah reaching for the hem of her shirt, I narrowed my eyes. “What the fuck are you doing?”

“I’m helping. There might be more out there waiting. I know these people. They never fight fair. You’re only one person.”

“Who is more than capable. Stay here.”

“Zion.”

I gave her a look that dared her to challenge me and she nodded.

As soon as I was out of the car, I removed my jeans and with a fluid motion, I shifted into my wolf form. The familiar sensation of my bones reshaping and muscles expanding sent a thrill coursing through me. My senses heightened and every sound, every scent, sharpened.

With a low growl rumbling from deep within my chest, I stepped forward.

I would say I’m surprised but considering who your leader is, you being stupid enough to challenge me is expected. - Me

Rolf didn’t send me. He’s a coward but you already know that. - Seth

And you’re stupid if you think this is a good idea. – Me

What I think is you and your brothers need to understand that we do things our way here. Even if Rolf is too much of a pussy to check your disrespect, I’m not. I’ll kill you, blame him, then take my rightful place as leader of this pack. It should have always been me. Rendell was a fool to believe his spineless son would ever be able to lead. – Seth

He lunged at me, a dark blur against the headlights of my car. I sidestepped just in time, feeling the rush of wind as he passed by, narrowly missing my flank.

He regrouped and charged from the left, teeth bared, eyes glowing. I ducked low, feeling the rush of air as I evaded him once again. I growled low as a warning and crouched, preparing for his next advance. We collided in a blur of fur and teeth. I felt the rush of air as his canines snapped just inches from my neck. I countered with a strike of my own, my teeth sinking into his shoulder, but he was quick, twisting away and spinning to face me.

Playtime is over. Attack, now – Seth

Fuck.

Another wolf rushed from the woods, moving full speed. With a surge of adrenaline, I braced myself, timing their attack, catching him in the side and Seth in the neck. My teeth tore at his flesh until I had the taste of blood. He landed hard on his back, giving me enough time to charge the other wolf.

Seizing the opportunity, I lunged forward, my teeth finding his neck. I felt the warm rush of victory as he crumpled to the ground, defeated. But my victory was short-lived because Seth came down hard on me. I clawed his side but his teeth ripped at my shoulder.

His weight pressed down on me, momentarily knocking me off balance, but I pushed back, using every ounce of strength to shove him aside. I caught a glimpse of movement from the corner of my eye just in time to catch a flash of silver colliding with black.

Nessah was no longer in the car. She shifted and attacked the other wolf. I didn’t have time to address the issue because Seth knocked into my side. I rolled onto my back just in time to defend another advance with my claws slashing through his neck, dropping him to the ground.

I swung my head in time to see the large wolf charging Nessah. She was quick, darting away from his snapping jaws. With a fierce growl, she countered, bracing herself, but I pounced on him, sinking my teeth into him until I ripped his throat free then I dropped to the ground myself.

Nessah rushed me, nudging me with her snout.

Zion. – Nessah

I’m fine and I told you to stay in the damn car. – Me

And I told you there would be more. You should have listened. – Nessah

She shifted and was standing over me—angry, beautiful, and naked.

Put your clothes on and get in the car. – Me

But you’re…- Nessah

She stomped away, heading back to the car, and I slowly lifted, testing my shoulder. I was bleeding but it wasn’t too bad so I would be completely healed in a few hours. Right now, I needed to move that damn truck out of our way so we could find a hotel and get cleaned up. Then I was fucking and marking my mate.

&

We found a hotel in Diamond Falls because there was no way in hell I would survive the drive home with what I was feeling. As pissed as I was that Nessah didn’t stay in the car like I demanded, knowing she was willing to fight beside me had my dick hard. Allowing our wolves to bond and experience each other in our rarest form was a feeling I couldn’t describe.

As soon as we walked into our room I dropped our bags and ripped clothes from both of us. After we were completely naked, I lifted Nessah and carried her to the bathroom. Her legs wrapped around my waist when I stepped inside, not turning the water on until we were immersed in the glass enclosure. The rush of cold water rained over us but I didn’t care about anything but her . I groaned, capturing Nessah’s mouth, loving the taste of her on my tongue.

Within a matter of minutes, the water turned blazing hot and I stumbled back, feeling the burn as it drenched my wounds. I landed hard against the tiled wall, bringing us both down on the built-in bench.

Nessah laughed and looped her arms around my neck, pulling me closer. Her eyes glowed silver before her mouth crashed against mine. I slid my hand between her thighs and pushed two fingers into her slick folds and circled them roughly. She arched her back, pushing her chest into mine, bringing a smile to my face.

“I’m marking you tonight.”

She grinned and her eyes lowered. “I know.”

I began roughly fucking with my fingers until she was trembling. The minute I felt her pussy clenched tightly, signaling her release, I removed my hand, lifted Nessah, and slammed her on my dick hard.

“Zion…” she growled, shattering in ecstasy.

I gritted my teeth, trying to control the urge to fuck her senseless. Her body was greedy, pulsing around me, but her lips were parted and she gasped for air because of how long, thick and hard my dick was.

When she dropped her head on my shoulder, I lifted her enough to slide halfway out and dropped her back down on me, thrusting up at the same time. I fully expected her to let me do all the work, but Nessah began rocking and circling her hips, fucking me back.

Everything about this moment was intense. By the time her second orgasm took over and she wildly bucked on me, I was edging closer to mine. At the same time I pumped my seed inside of her, I was going to claim my mate. My mouth opened wide and I bit down hard at the curve where her neck met her shoulder. My canines lengthened and throbbed, sinking into her soft skin.

Her blood filled my mouth and my dick jerked and pulled while I unloaded, filling her. Nessah’s moans turned to a growl of pleasure as her own orgasm strengthened, turning more powerful from me marking her, claiming my mate with an unchallenged bond. Empty but still thick, hard, and pulsing inside her pussy, I licked the mark and she shivered and moaned, rocking her hips while I trailed kisses down her shoulder.

I forcibly gripped her chin and brought her close. “Mine,” I growled at the same time my wolf roared. With half-lidded eyes and a lazy smile, Nessah leaned forward and kissed me softly.

“Yours.”

I kissed her hard, swiping my tongue over hers at the same slow pace she circled her hips until I lifted us both, flinching slightly from the injuries of my battle with Seth.

“Zion…” Her eyes lowered to my shoulder and I shook my head.

“I’m fine. First we shower, then I take my time with you.”

My mouth met hers and I kissed her deeply, loving the greedy way she kissed me back, our wolves communicating the same thing…

Mine.

Mate.
