And The Battle Begins

Sam walked back to her apartment, her mind almost numb, but her senses on high alert. The moment she closed the door to Esree's home a strong scent attacked her. She knew the smell all too well. Nick was following her and his wolf was very eager to get his mate, but both Sam and Lex knew it could not happen now.

As she turned down an ally, a shortcut to her apartment, something dark passed overhead. She looked up but the skies were clear. Not even a shadow moved as she concentrated into the dark. Lex pushed through and Sam was surprised to see the night in a completely different light. It was almost like she was looking through a heat signature camera. She saw something crawling against the wall and Lex shifted into their half form. The creature had pitch-black bat-like wings, teeth that protruded from a wide mouth, an anorexic body with claws like long knives.

Its eyes were pitch black and filled with hunger as it launched at them. Lex sidestepped and slashed at the demon cutting into its wing. The beast screeched and swung around, claws extended for a killer blow, but Lex saw it coming and dodged. Her tail swung around her body and she kicked out to the demon who dodged the attack. It crawled back up the wall before launching itself at Lex again. This time Lex dodged low kicking her leg up and the demon flew headfirst into her leg. The demon was sent flying into the wall, causing the wall to crack. Lex took up a defensive position as the demon stumbled back to its feet. With unexpected lighting speed, the beast dashed forward and struck Lex in the stomach. Dots danced in front of her eyes as the air left her body. She hit the ground with an impressive thud and the earth spun around her. Not being able to breathe Lex saw another figure approaching at a deadly speed. She forced her body to respond as she jumped up and out of its way just in time to miss the horns of yet another demon. This creature she recognized however as an incubus. With its leathery wings, large horns, and almost human-like body. Its blood-red eyes bore into hers and its demonic smile sent shivers down her spine.

The incubus and Demon launched at her at the same time and she barely dodged them in time, but she responded fast sending the demon flying down the alley with a kick to the back of the skull, and the incubus was pushed up against the wall, his feet dangling in the air as she held him by the throat. He gasped and clawed at her hands, but it was no use. She was pissed and out for blood.

She punched him in the ribs and heard a few breaks. He coughed and blood dripped from his lip, but he didn't stop smiling. The snarl made her freeze and she turned around slowly. A hell hound stood behind her, snarling and growling. She stood frozen and her heart hammered against her chest. This beast was twice as big as the one She faced in the forest. She dropped the incubus to the ground and turned to face the beast head-on. Suddenly the screeching of the demon in the alley caught both of their attention. The beast she saved stood over the now lifeless form of the demon, a wing hanging from its jaw and its one paw digging into his back.

The hound in front of her seemed almost scared but it was hard to tell with the look of death hugging its features. Without warning the beasts launched at each other. Teeth bared and claws extended they attacked with a fury unknown to any other creature. To Lex's surprise, another hound came out of nowhere and seemed to be fighting on her side. She turned back to the incubus and saw him staring up at her. His eyes were void of any emotion, but he spoke with venom, blood still dripping from his lip.

Don't get too comfortable little girl. We are only the starter to the war menu you will soon have to face. I. Lex did not allow him to finish as she stepped on his throat, crushing his windpipe in one swift move.

The snarling and growling had stopped and she turned to the hounds who stood victoriously over the enemy's corpse. Stepping closer to them Lex allowed herself to take complete control and shifted into her true form. The hounds submitted as a sign of respect and Lex licked the side of their faces as a sign of acceptance. With that she turned to the new beast but did not turn him back into his formal self, instead, she laid down next to him to show that she would be his trusted friend. The hound seemed pleased and raised his head, licking the side of her face in return. He then stood along with the other beast and left.

Lex could feel the exhaustion sink in as she shifted back into her half form, but something was amiss and she did not yet give Sam complete control. A scent lingered in the cool night air, a scent she recognized. She had only ever been in the presence of this creature once and did not dare do such a thing again.

The scent faded away after a few minutes and Lex relaxed enough for Sam to take over.

Oow! She moaned out as she clutched her stomach. Her whole body seemed to protest with every step she took. You know, it's easier to just leave them alone. You don't need to always pick a fight. She could feel Lex scoff and roll her eyes as she turned towards the end of the alley. She stood frozen staring at the dark figure standing at the entrance. His scent told her exactly who it was, but her mind would not accept that he did not intervene when she needed him to. This time Lex growled and Sam realized what she was thinking. She pushed the thought into the darkest recesses of her mind. She did not need anyone, especially not him.

He stepped into the light and once again Sam was caught off guard by her attraction to him. She knew it was all due to the mating bond created by fate, but it seemed almost as if her attraction to him went deeper than that. He moved closer to her and to her surprise she allowed him to wrap his arm around her. She rested her head against his shoulder and allowed herself to relish in his heat and the calm that seemed to consume her completely.

Where do you live? He asked, his deep voice caressing her very soul. Lex purred in the back of her mind, making her regret allowing him so close.

Good try buddy. She said groggily. He sighed and she could almost feel his irritation. The next thing she remembered was being thrown over his shoulder and carried out of the alley. Hey! Put me down you! Her sentence was cut short by a smack on her ass. She gasped and when the next one landed.

Now be a good girl and be quiet, or you won't like what I do next. She ignored him and started trying to slide off his shoulder. She soon realized her mistake when she felt his hand slide up her leg and stopping dangerously close to her no-no region. I warned you. He said just before her another smack on the bum. A couple passing by stared at the scene before the guy nodded and the girl grabbed the guy's arm.

Why don't you ever do that to me? She heard the girl say. Her question was soon followed by a shriek. Sam twisted to look at the couple and saw that the guy had thrown her over his shoulder and was carrying a laughing girl to a nearby car. She couldn't help but smile at the display of affection. Her thoughts came to a screeching halt when she felt his wandering hand slowly slipping higher and higher up. She could feel the heat of his skin too close to her no-no region. She tried to cross her legs, but in her current position, she could barely keep her head from bumping against his back. He noticed her slight struggle and started to laugh. Soon another smack followed, but before she could protest she was thrown into the passenger side of a large vehicle. She turned towards him as he opened the driver's side. He gave her a don't-even-think-about-it look before pulling away. She sat quietly and he drove them down streets she did not recognize. Soon he stopped in front of an apartment building and Sam realized they were at his place. He got out and she saw the opportunity to lock the doors. She leaned over and before he could open her door she locked it. He sighed and unlocked the car with the key, but again she locked it. His frustration was evident in his eyes and he tried to unlock the car again, but she kept her finger on the lock button. Soon his irritation reached its peak and he ripped at the door handle. The handle came clean off and Sam jumped into the driver's seat. Keeping her finger on the lock button she stared at him wide-eyed. Without warning, he smashed his elbow into the passenger side window. The glass shattered and he opened the door from the inside and got in.

Hey. He said staring straight ahead. So, how have you been? He said. His voice seemed as calm as a spring breeze, but she heard a stony undertone and when he looked at her she saw it in his eyes. Shall we go inside? He asked. Lex pushed at her mind, trying to gain some form of control, but Sam would not allow it.

I think I would rather stay here. You know, this car is really nice and cozy. I like the leather seats too. Yeah, I think I'm gonna stay here. She said pulling her jacket closer around her chest, only then realizing she still had her finger on the lock button.

The look in his eyes told her that the exact opposite would be happening. Swallowing hard she opened her door and got out. In the blink of an eye, he was next to her with his hand around her waist, holding her as close as possible without crushing her completely. He led her up the stairs and to his apartment. The whole time she just quietly walked next to him, both in anticipation and unchecked want for him. Without realizing it, his display of dominance had reached into her core and ignited her whole body with want. She could feel his steps growing faster the more her body reacted to his touch. Her scent filled the space around them and he froze just as he was about to unlock the door. He turned to her and pulled her impossibly close.

Your scent is overpowering my love; do you mind-calming yourself enough for me to be able to unlock the door? Lex did not seem to agree with his request and allowed both of their arousal to fill the air. Sam suddenly found herself pushed against a wall with his body pressing into her. She could feel his lips trace her neck as he places soft kisses against her skin. He inhaled her scent and she could feel his fingers digging into her hips.

He moved back so fast she lost her balance and stumbled forward. When she regained her balance he grabbed her hand and pulled her through the now open door. The door was barely closed before she was once again pushed against a wall. He kissed her passionately and she kissed him back with the same amount of passion. Pulling at his jacket he helped her remove it along with hers. His hands glided down her body and he grabbed her ass and lifted her. She gasped and wrapped her legs around his waist to keep herself from falling. He pushed her back against the wall and she moaned when she felt his hardness pressing against her core. The moan seemed to trigger something within him and wrapped his arms around her. Kissing and licking her neck he carried her to his bedroom and laid her down on the bed. He pulled away and stared into her eyes, the question burning in his look. She nodded and that was enough for him. He started kissing down her neck and over her shoulder, soon she was left shirtless as he kissed over her breasts and down her stomach. As he reached her naval he softly bit her and was rewarded with a sensual moan. He pulled down her pants and groaned at the sight of lacy black panties filling his view. He looked up at her lust-filled eyes with a scorching fire before removing her underwear with his teeth.

Her scent consumed him when he opened her legs, he started kissing her legs, kissing higher and higher until he reached his mark. The first kiss was feather-soft but she was beyond sensitive and her back arched with pleasure.

Without wasting any time hi started kissing her in the most sensual way. Sams mind went foggy with lust as he pleasured her. His skill was unmatched.

She grabbed his hair trying to pull him closer and push him away at the same time. He smiled and without warning slipped one finger into her burning core. She almost screamed out but instead bit her own arm to keep quiet. Realizing what she was doing he stopped and looked up at her. Her eyes flew open and she begged him not to stop.

Don't hold back Babygirl. Scream for me. She stared at him wide-eyed as he went back to his very enjoyable task. Soon she was panting, begging him for more and he gave her just that. He added another finger and this time she did not hold back. Her scream echoed in the room and he relished in it. Moving his fingers at a steady pace he brought her closer and closer to her peak. He could see she was close by the way her hips moved in rhythm with him and by the way her moans became louder. Before she could reach her peak he stopped. Her complaint was cut short when she saw him removing his shirt.

Her heart hammered against her chest when he climbed on top of her and started kissing her with fire. She dug her nails into his back and begged him for more, but he held back. He knew that he would not be able to hold back for much longer but he dragged it out as much as possible. Soon her moaning drove him over the edge and he quickly pulled down his pants and thrust into her. She screamed out and he froze. She opened her eyes and stared at him.

Why did you stop? she asked as she started grinding against him. This was the last invite he needed. He started thrusting into her relentlessly and biting her as he felt himself lose control. Soon his wolf starting pushing to gain control, but he did not trust him to not claim her. He pulled out and turned her around. She stood on her knees, her back towards him. He pushed against her back softly and she bent over. When he entered her, her arms lost all strength and she pressed her chest flat against the bed. The position allowed him to reach a place that sent her over the edge. She came hard, screaming out his name, but he did not stop. Instead, he kept going, harder than before allowing her to ride out her orgasm.

As the first orgasm passed the next one started to build. Sam had never felt this before and Lex was fighting for control, but she could not trust her to not claim him. She moved with him, feeling his every thrust and every move. She felt his hand in her hair when he suddenly pulled it back. The force he used pulled her back pressing her back against his chest and still, he did not relent. She came soon after and again he did not stop but kept going. When the second orgasm passed he pulled out and helped her stand. Without warning, he bent her over the bed and spread her legs. Slowly he pushed into her and she moaned softly, allowing her body to feel every inch of him. After a few thrusts, he felt himself growing closer to his release and his thrusts became rough and wild. Once again he pulled her hair sending her spiraling into her third orgasm. Her orgasm triggered his and they came together. The release drained them both of all energy and they collapsed together on the bed.

He took a few deep breaths to calm his racing heart and turned to her. Her eyes were closed and her breathing even. She was fast asleep. He covered them with the blanket and pulled her closer to him. She rested her head on his chest and he fell asleep soon after.

He growled as he turned away from the window. Jumping from the balcony he landed on the pavement and turned back towards the apartment building.

Sir, did you see her? One of the warriors asked.

I saw her, yes, and tomorrow I will have her. He said as he turned and climbed into the black car.
