Daryl changed into his human form as he entered his home, how dare the bitch think she was welcome back to his. His lust had been sated for now, yet his body craved his mate, blast now he was hard again. Karen had not done it for him, oh she had tried but to be honest all he wanted to do was sink his hard cock into a warm willing space and she had been it. He had no feelings for her in fact it was only disgust, pushing his hands through his hair, he needed a shower , wash her rancid smell from him. The unfortunate thing about giving in to his lust she would now be gloating to the others, oh joy.
Grabbing a beer from the fridge he headed up to his bathroom, he loved the space, it had been designed and built by him. From the large double walk in shower to the beautiful sunken spa bath, which faced the large balcony on the second floor. Opening the patio doors he allowed the coolness of the dawn drift in, taking a deep breath he watched the sun rise. Had he only been out there 45 minutes ago listening to the forest wake, thinking of his mate, and now he had fucked someone he should never have done, all because he could not accept his mate was human. Taking another sip from his beer he wondered what he had hoped to gain from what he had done. It had not changed a thing his damn wolf and human craved their mate. Finishing his beer he threw the bottle as far as he could, pissed off, knowing deep down he would eventually have to give in.
Carol jumped in and out of the snow drifts along the main road heading towards Dixon's, as Sophia threw snowballs at her. Philip had advised her earlier the best mechanics in the village, were to be found there. Her four wheel drive had not started this morning and she needed a mechanic quickly if she was to pick Andrea up later. After throwing a few snowballs at Sophia they laughingly walked into the garage.
"Well good morning to you two sweethearts how can I help ya?" Almost jumping out of her skin, Carol looked around for the face to the voice, surprised when a Korean man popped up from behind the counter.
"Hi, are you Mr Dixon?"
"No, I'm afraid he is away from the office at the moment is there anything I can do to help?" Holding his hand out, Carol grabbed it'
"I hope so Mr?"
"Glenn, no one calls me Mr sounds like my dad. What can we do for you?"
"Well my car...
"Glen Rhee if you don't come here and control. your damn puppies I..." Carol turned to the beautiful woman who had burst through the door, with what looked like three little girls all under the age of three, her whole face radiant with the smile across it.
"Excuse me one moment" he walked from Carol to Maggie reaching out for his youngest Faith.
"What have you three rascals been up to ?" snuggling his nose into his daughter, yes he could smell fresh pine, guess they had been trying to climb the large fir trees at the camp. Had they not told them enough that wolves do not climb trees, smirking he gave Maggie a kiss then raised his eyebrow
"Tree climbing again?" seeing her nod, he tapped all his daughters on the nose
"How many times do we have to tell you no climbing trees?" placing Faith back into Maggie's arms he walked back to Carol
"Sorry about that Mrs?"
"Oh no that is fine they are so adorable, how old?"
"The twins Faith and Maisie are almost 3 and that little one hiding behind my ma... partner is Tilly and she is 2" Carol's ears pricked up at the word he almost said, surely he wasn't going to say mate? and did the woman not say puppies before?..Could these people be part of The Dixon pack, was she looking at a wolf in human form?. Glen picked up on her uneasiness straight away he could smell, what he could only described as fear yet excitement too. Nodding to Maggie for her to leave, he sensed something about this woman and her daughter.
"Honey I am going to take the girls home" then using her mind link she asked her mate if he was ok should she get Merle and Daryl. Glen confirmed to call them both just in case.
"Ok sweetheart I will see you all at home later" watching them walk out of the garage he knew she would make contact and the men would be around within moments'
"Once again I am sorry about that, what can we do?" his easy smile was back on his face
"Mr Blake, said that you were the best mechanics and I need someone to look at my car please, oh my name is Carol and this is Sophia" Glen's senses went on full alert at the name Blake, he was a hunter, an enemy to the pack. He was also the step brother to his wife, Herschel had married young, unhappy in the marriage, he had left leaving behind a son. He had done what he could over the years to support him, but there was never any love, any connection, like their was with the mother of his girl's. He had never exposed his wolf, until they came into the pack, and all had been surprised when Maggie had inherited that gene, At the moment they were unsure if Beth was the same, but she had yet to find her mate, so time would tell. Herschel had been keeping the girl's hidden from their brother, for he knew should the man find out, he would kill them in revenge, for Herschel not being the dad, he should have been.
"Yes of course we can take a look at it, Where is it parked?" as he spoke he felt a comfort wash over him, Merle and Daryl were around all would be ok.
Both men ran as quick as they could it was unusual for Glen to send a warning, so to play it safe they both came. Daryl could smell lavender, his wolf was excited his mate was here.
"Come on " his wolf shouted at him, as his human form slowed down
"She's here we need to claim her make her ours", his wolf wasn't doing slow, his mate was close.
"No" roared his human side, he could not go to her now, not after what he had done, she would reject him and he would deserve it
"She won't reject us, she will understand"
"NO!" Merle heard this and turned to his brother seeing him in turmoil with his wolf. Walking back he placed a hand on his shoulder
"Bro what is it?"
"I have to go, I cannot go in there. I won't be able to control myself, oh god the smell, I need'..." Merle looked inside the garage, seeing a little girl around 4 years old. Then a small women came into view, she was beautiful, silver colour hair that almost touched her neck, a smile that lit up her whole face. She was new around here... wait she had a child she was new, his mouth open he turned to his brother ripped in two, he knew then and there that small human was the Alpha's mate.
"That little human in there is your mate? Oh brother, she is so small she would not be able to take you."
"Do you not think I don't know that, god do I want her, Merle I do not know how much fucking longer I can hold back. I ache for her, my body trembles with the need to sink inside her, mark her. Then there is that little girl how can I do that, what would happen to her?"Before he could do anything his wolf had other ideas, Daryl fought it as much as he could but the wolf was stronger. Heading out the door closest to the forest he took control of the situation escaping before he fucked her.
'You ran again the Alpha of The Dixon's is acting like a..."
"ENOUGH" his wolf was right, when did he an Alpha male run from anything?, when it was a small petite human and her beautiful daughter. Merle laughed as his brother ran, he had to get to know this little human, walking into the garage he smiled at the little girl, nodding at Glen.
"Hello I am Mr Dixon's partner and brother, Merle" Carol turned round and looked up, what was it with this place and big built men. He had a lovely welcoming smile a lot like Glen, his eyes seemed to look deep into her soul.
" Nice to meet you Merle.I'm Carol and this little one is Sophia, Glen,here said you could come and check my car doesn't seem to want to start in this weather and I have to pick my friend up from the airport" Merle liked her, she was was kind loving he could sense it, when she grabbed his hand her warmth flooded through him.
"Well honey let's go take a look eh and you sweetheart must be around four, how are you liking this town?"
"You're big, sir" Merle bent down to Sophia's level so she didn't feel too afraid, he knew his size frightened some humans.
"Is this better honey?" he could see the fear in the little girls eyes
"Yes, thank you" her thumb went into her mouth big men scared her
"I'm sorry about Sophia she gets frightened around large men after what her dadd...Sorry you didn't need to hear that, give her a wolf any day and she would be happy" Now that was interesting news, so they had been hurt by Sophia's father. Daryl wouldn't be happy about someone hurting his mate and her child. Most importantly these two loved wolves, oh his brother was in deep shit now. He couldn't help but laugh as he followed the two humans out from the the garage, sending his brother a mental image of Carol's cute ass. He almost roared with laughter when he received a threatening growl back telling him to leave her the hell alone.
Merle couldn't resist sending mental images back, until his own mate slammed into his thoughts telling him if he continued looking at another woman, not caring that she was their Alpha's mate, she was cutting his ...' Merle went red and stopped, not before hearing his brother threaten worse.
Carol glanced up at the tall man seeing him smirk, what was he thinking she wondered as she guided him past Blake's place up to her cabin higher up the mountain.
"Carol hold on a second" hearing her name she turned to see Philip running towards her
"Oh good I see you found Dixon's Hello Merle good to see you" for some reason, Merle's wolf, came to the fore front warning him of danger. Calming his inner beast he wondered what had got the wolf so agitated, admittedly he had never been this close to the man, but for his wolf to warn him, that danger was around, made him extra vigilant. Nodding at the man he continued watching Sophia play in the snow, allowing the humans to talk, picking their conversation up easily.
"Carol, I wondered if you would like to go to dinner tonight?"
"TELL HIM TO STAY CLEAR OF MY MATE" Shit Merle had kept the channel to his brother open, now he could allow this to go two ways. Chuckling to himself he sent a clear message back
"No" hearing both the howl in the distance,and his beloved mate laugh he sat back and waited for the explosion.
"Wow those wolves are loud today" commented Philip as he waited for his answer, he had been biding his time whilst Carol settled into the village. He had heard rumours about her ex and that they had ran to this place for safety more than anything. He couldn't understand how a man could hurt a woman but each to their own.
"They sound lonely yet so soothing" she mumbled.
"Well my boys and I will be out hunting them, they have taken our women" Philip's annoyance clear.
"No!" screamed Sophia, how could this man want to hurt such beautiful creatures?, tears in her eyes she looked at him, then at her mummy.
"You can't hurt them" tears were now falling down her cheeks as Carol picked her up and held her tight
"Well honey we need to do something, what if they took more of our families?" he answered the little girl, did she not know what evil vicious monsters the wolves were?.
"Not Dixie he wouldn't " sobbing uncontrollably now Carol hugged her tight.
"Philip can we please not talk about things like that in front of my daughter, she has a fondness for the wolves as do I. We have come here to track The Dixon pack, watch and learn about his pack, we certainly do not wish to hear anymore of that nonsense of wolves taking..." Philip put his hands up in defeat, she would never need to know that most of the village had plans to hunt the pack down and take them out one by one.
"You are right Carol and for that I apologize"
"I should think you should Blake upsetting a child and its mother " Merle had finally stepped in after coming to terms as to why Carol and Sophia were really in their territory. He knew Daryl had heard it all too, a plan was forming to allow him and his mate to meet again soon.
"Merle I did not know, Carol please can you forgive me for upsetting Sophia?. I never intended to" seeing the sadness and despair on his face, she knew he meant what he said.
"No trouble, Sophia just gets very upset when it comes to animals, how about that dinner later, I won't be able to get a babysitter so could I bring Sophia?. I know Andrea will be here but she will need her rest.
"Yes of course how about we go into the village, they have the Christmas light switch on with fireworks and a fair I am sure you will both love it" His smile back on his face, glad she had not turned him down.
"Sophia, honey would you like that?" nodding her head, Carol smiled back at Philip agreeing a time to meet, she said her goodbyes. Daryl was furious how the hell could his mate even consider going out with someone else she was his!.
"Brother you had the chance and you walked away rejecting her before either of you had met, you want her you take her" Merle tried calming him down.
"Fuck you Merle"
"No brother it's Carol ya want, now come get your mate you stubborn ass" he replied back.
"Merle. Merle ?" feeling a tap on his shoulder he looked at Carol, not even realising the other man had left.
"Oh sorry honey is little one alright?" peering down at Sophia, he could see she had actually fallen asleep
"Here let me carry her for you. is it much further?"
"Are you sure? " as he nodded she placed the sleeping child in his arms, Sophia was becoming heavy for her. Merle felt her snuggle into him placing a soft kiss on her head he held her tight to him. So little one looks like you will be my niece he thought to himself.
"No not far just up here" shaking her arms to get the feeling back into them, she didn't notice the tall man stood next to her car waiting. Merle knew he was there, before they reached the driveway. Walking towards him, Carol wondered who this man was, taking him in he was gorgeous, from his black boots, up his tight jeans, his thick black jumper. to his face. He had a goatee , dark hair that seemed to be shoulder length, hanging over his face, hiding his eyes, yet his smile that well... she just wanted to lay at his feet and beg him to... Now where the hell had that thought come from?. Her eyes met his and she halted in her tracks he had the most beautiful blue eyes.
"Hi there darlin" walking towards her he put his hand out, automatically her hand came up, as he gripped hers she felt her whole body burn as if electricity had run through it.
"Er Hi and you are?" wow at least she could speak this stranger had thrown her.
"Daryl Dixon darlin and I see you have already met my brother Merle"
