Wolf’s Bane

“Do you want me to wait for you, Alpha?”

The helicopter had just landed on the rooftop helipad of the very large SilverClaw’s Packhouse, which, for the rest of the world, was just an eccentrically large mansion that one of the most powerful business conglomerates’ owner’s Clan in Europe shared.

Completely surrounded by forests, with large and carefully tended gardens, the huge Victorian-style villa – towers and all – extended about five floors tall, and had hundreds of rooms; including the shared pack areas, like the dining room, the entertainment room, a large ballroom, private offices, and meeting rooms of different sizes.

These are what old pack money had built through centuries of running clean businesses, and ran for the last few generations by the powerful Alpha Clan of the Camden family. After all, this was a name that more than one of their enemies had tried to throw dirt at.

“Yes please, Antoine, although it might take a while. I’m picking up my Luna for our date night,” V smiled at the prospect of taking his beautiful mate to an event that she’s been waiting for a few months already. He knew that she really wanted it, but was kept too busy to keep track of the date. The surprise in her eyes and her smile were more than enough motivation for him to keep tabs on this event, but he only told her to be ready by five today.

Even though they kept full agendas, or more of them keeping themselves busy, their date night was a must for them. They both always made sure that nothing got between them and their time together.

The pilot, now slightly more relaxed since they were now within their territory, started checking the aircraft to get it ready for the next flight. He was very focused on making sure that everything was in order, even doing his task with a wide smile on his face.

The pack loved their Alpha and Luna’s relationship, especially because, separately, they both had very strong personalities. But when they were together, their toughness seemed to melt away.

To think that many have tried to get the Luna position before… But that’s another story.

Meanwhile, Helena checked the finishing details of her long, dark blue dress that worked perfectly with her ‘cheat’ shoes, which made her look taller than her 5’4″ height, without killing her feet.

The dress hugged her slim but curvy body right around her waist, accentuating it, and from there, the fabric split into two thick straps. From her waist these same straps – going thinner as they flowed to the place where they hung from behind her neck – ended up with a dip V neckline, allowing her cleavage to be exposed. It was definitely very seductive but still very classy.

The skirt had two long slits in the front of the inner fabric that, even when it was covered with a thick, all-around overskirt of tulle, allowed a peek of her sexy, curvy legs.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

She was pleased with how she looked, and hoped, not so secretly, that her love would drool over her and would be tempted to shred the dress from her body the moment he saw her.

And just then, when she put on her sapphire earrings and adjusted the spaghetti straps behind her neck, the door of their room opened, allowing her to see the love of her life.

“Handsome, are you never worried that you might open the door and I’d be naked? People could see me when you do that…”

“Nah, I’m not that lucky,” Virgil said as he smiled widely, and even wider when his lady answered with a soft, pleased smile and a short giggle.

The Alpha stood at the door for a moment, looking at her, eating her with his eyes, and holding his gaze for a bit too long on her breasts.

“Do you like what you see?” she murmured with a smirk.

“Scratch what I said about me being unlucky. I am, in fact, the luckiest man on Earth,” he said, finally walking into the room, closing the door behind him and taking the distance between them in two or three long steps, while consuming his attention on her body.

“Love, I thought we were going out,” she said, still smiling, not bothered if date night was just making love and cuddling for hours, without worrying about anything else.

That was the best of days. The whole pack knew they would be unavailable until the next day, so there would not even be a text message sent to them that night.

“Princess, why do you torture me like this?” he said, sliding a hand under one of the sides of her dress, cupping her breast and nibbling her nipple until it was hard, while he kissed her exposed skin from breasts to neck to earlobe, and whispered in her ear… “I really want to take you right now.”

“We can’t love… Can we?” she said, starting to moan in his ear, aware of the seconds when they were still not too late with their schedule and could still follow their plan if they did allow themselves to end up making love.

Then he remembered the event that took place only once per year, and his lust couldn’t be the reason for his beloved one to miss it. He still held her in his arms but with a huge effort, he slowed down the kisses and tried to rein in his consciousness and self-control…

“Think of her happiness, she deserves a night out man, come on…” he thought, pushing, scolding and reasoning with himself until his hunger was under control again.

“I’m sorry, baby… what I have planned for tonight is really worth it for me to calm down…” he let out a sigh, composed himself and, still not letting go, he looked into her hazel eyes with a toothy grin. “You look beautiful, my love.”

She flashed him a wide smile as well.

“Dress mission accomplished. No matter that he kept himself in check for now. I’ll get him going when we’re back here, after this whole night of teasing is through,” Helena thought, and completed it with the heartiest villain laugh, still within her mind as well.

“You don’t look bad at all, handsome, and I can’t imagine what you have planned for us today… you have me puzzled and extremely curious now.”

“Then let’s go, so you know that this date is really worth it for us to go out for,” he sighed, finally letting her out of his embrace and taking her hand, He then walked with her to their bedroom door and opened it, allowing her to step out first, as a true gentleman would.

She walked in front of him swinging her hips seductively. Her long, dark hair cascaded down her naked back, and he felt himself doubting his decision to leave the bedroom once again.

“Damn those dresses,” he mumbled, taking the coat that she had ready for the night while following her.

He walked behind her all the way up to the helipad, with just enough focus to barely let Antoine know that they were almost there via the pack mindlink. Soon, they were finally sitting inside the helicopter to start their not-so-long trip. She sat by his side, and while still holding hands, he began their mindlink talk.

“Beautiful, before we get there, there’s a topic that I need to talk to you…”

“Is it business related? Pack related? You know the rules, love. You were actually the one who asked that we avoid talking about work during our couple time, remember?”

“Yes, baby, but this is a small exception, and I hope you can forgive me… It’s not exactly pack or business after all. It’s a part of… something else…”

“And you have gotten me extremely intrigued again. That’s not fair, love,” she smiled as her head still rested on her man’s shoulder while he softly caressed her forearm with the tip of his fingers.

“Well, at least one thing I can tell you about… Today, Hero and I went to see Alicia.”
