Carter was seated next to Lexa, driving while the girl zoned out the wide-open window.
- Thanks for being so cool with my family, Lex. It is really nice .
She turned her head towards him, a big smile on her face:
- It's nothing, come on! I love them very much ! They remind me of the pack.
He smiled back and grabbed her hand without realizing it. She didn't react, and kept his hand in hers the rest of the way. They arrived at the border, where they warned the patrolmen that Carter's human family was about to pass. They headed for the lair, where Nia, Caleb and Franklin were waiting for them to help them move the young man. Lexa's brother exclaimed:
- Hey, it seems that your family is coming! That's good, Our parents just wanted to meet them!
Carter burst out laughing:
- I'm sure my parents would be delighted to see them to harass them with questions!
Lexa laughs back.
- So there, I can't wait to see my father, the big bad Alpha John Filarmony tremble in front of your mother!
- Do you think it's really going to happen, Lexandara?
The small group spun around, and Lexa nearly let out her vibrations of surprise. Behind them were the parents of the young blonde, arms crossed. Like every time he saw Ella Filarmony, Carter was blown away by the lack of resemblance between mother and daughter. If they shared the same face, that was all they had in common: Ella had brown, curly hair, blue eyes and an air of crazy sweetness, while her offspring had long, sleek locks. , silky and silvery, pure amber eyes and vibrations that were nothing but the most powerful of dominance. At least Franklin could be said to have inherited his mother's affability. No, Lexa was all her father, only stronger. She glared at the latter, a sardonic smile on her face:
- Waiting to meet Lila Masin. This woman is a force of nature.
The smell of the flower whose name she bore reached them a little before her voice:
- Well… Thank you my dear, that's very nice.
The Masin family stood there, not at all stressed about being surrounded by a pack of wolves, watching carefully around them. Carter's mother gave them a big smile.
- Good day, I'm Lila, Carter's mother, and this is my May and my other son, Jamie and Mason. How about we go see where my son is going to live?
Ella glanced appreciatively at the other woman and led them to the cottage built for the young wolf. It was a small wooden house, tastefully decorated. THE chalet had two bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom and a kitchen, all perfectly fitted out. The young man widened his eyes.
- It's for me !
Nia and Lexa nodded vigorously as Caleb clapped her on the back.
- Of course ! Come on, let's get you settled!
He spent a good part of the evening going back and forth with his things, arranging everything. Around midnight, it was finally over and Lexa and the young man found themselves in the kitchen, finally alone. Carter and Mason's parents had chosen to stay for the night, one in the guest bedroom, the other on the living room chair. The girl sighed:
- It's been a long day, huh?
he gave her a crooked smile:
- Yup, really long. But I'm glad it's done.
Sitting on the kitchen island, she pulled him to her so that he stood between her legs.
- What if... If we relax now?
He smiled at her in turn, mischievously:
- Oh yes ? Are you sure ?
She moved her hand down to his crotch, stroking back and forth over the rough fabric of Carter's jeans. He threw his head back, letting out a low sigh.
- Yes, yes, I'm sure.
He ripped off her shorts and put his hand on her intimacy. As he slowly began massaging her, making little squeaks come out of her, he whispered in her ear while biting her earlobe:
- Then you will have to be wise and shut up.
She bit his lip, giving him a defiant look.
- Make me.
He turned her around abruptly, taking her breath away, slamming his hand over her mouth and before she could recover from her surprise, pulling her by the hair, he penetrated her.
- Haaa!
She arched her back, urging him to give her more. And he did, a good part of the night. Lying next to him in his bed after sex, she giggled;
- At least we inaugurated your house!
He didn't answer, already asleep and she shook her head, before putting it back on her chest and falling asleep.
The next day, walking down the hallway beside the girl, he noticed that she hadlook disturbed:
- What's the matter ?
She bit her lip:
- Have you seen Jake lately?
Ah yes, Jake. Lexa's alleged soulmate. Just the thought of it sank like a red-hot poker into Carter's chest. He shrugged.
- Not really . But we're not really friends. Why ?
She looked lost:
- I don't know.. I find it a bit weird at the moment. I feel like he's pulling away, and it hurts a little, you know?
He nodded, but before he could answer arms wrapped around them. The heads of Charly, Paul and Niella stood on each side of the two friends. Paul and Nia exclaimed:
- Carter! Do you know that there are football pre-selections coming up?
He raised an eyebrow:
- And where are you coming from? I am asthmatic .
The two yelled:
- You are not anymore!
Charly pushed the other two fanatics further:
- In fact, we thought that with your new body, your new physical abilities and the fact that you are no longer asthmatic, you should try to enter it. I'm going to try it too, it could be funny!
Passing in front of a mirror, he saw his forearms, which had indeed doubled in size. He smiles at his reflection before saying:
- Okay, I'll follow you.
That's how he found himself, two hours later, on the football field, being crushed by a dozen bodies, to the applause of Lexa and Niella. The two young girls had decided that it could be fun to join the team of cheerleaders, and were now on the edge of the field, outfit included, hopping and prancing laughing. A sight so distracting that Carter didn't see the attacker in front of him and couldn't avoid a tackle. He was, however, rewarded with Lexa's mischievous smile, which could have eclipsed the stars. Made strong by the latter, he got up and continued to run.
- To our future state champions!
They banged the glasses together, spilling soda on the table. Carter, Charly, Caleb, Franklin, Lexa, Niella and Paul had decided to go out for pizza to celebrate the boy's joining the football team, and the girls' joining the cheerleader team. The mood was happy, full of laughter, until Lexa turned her head and saw Jake, frowning, through the door of the pizzeria. Turning to her friends, she said:
- I'll be back, don't move! (then, becoming more threatening:) Above all, that no one, and I mean no one, touch my pizza! . She slipped out of her seat and headed for the glass door, behind which Jake was growing increasingly gloomy. She walked through the door and kissed him on the cheek.
- Hey! What are you doing here ?
He frowned even more And growled:
- YOU, what are you doing here Lexa?
She frowned too, now in a bad mood.
- I went out to have fun with my friends. You would have known and you could even have come if you had been there. But you weren't there. Where were you anyway? I feel like I haven't seen you in forever.
He ran a hand over his face, his features sagging. Usually, he always smiled at her when he was with her. Here, he had no emotions: he just looked like another person.
- Nothing, Lex, stuff for the pack... Don't worry so much.
- Jackie...
He growled again
- You smell like him.
- Eh ?
- You smell like him, as if you belong to him.
She backed away, her wolf begging her to get away from him. But he grabbed her wrist, pulling her towards him. He kissed her, and it wasn't a kiss like the ones he usually gave her: it wasn't tender, or sexy, or seductive, but a brutal, violent and dominating kiss.
- Nope !
She broke the kiss and he led her into a dark, deserted parallel alley, where he held her arms above her head. He pulled her skirt up over her thighs and took off her panties, suddenly placing his hand on her intimacy. He penetrated her violently, without warning.
- You belong to Me . You understand ? You are mine, and you will only smell me. His, I would not tolerate. Never .
Lexa wanted to let her vibrations explode, but knew that now was not the time to put herself in danger like that. So, throwing her head back, letting him fuck her, refusing to call it "making love". She had never had anything against sex, but that was wrong, just… wrong. When he finally finished, he kissed her forehead and whispered into her hair:
- I am sorry . I lost control. But you are mine, do you understand?
And he went away, leaving her there, in the cold, the skirt always up. A tear rolled down the girl's cheek, and she curled up on the floor. She felt... Horribly bad, rushed. But she was Lexandara Filarmony, the most powerful alpha ever born since Filarmony himself. Then she put on her skirt, and wiping away her tears, went to join her friends.
