Chapter 25
Trigger warning: self-harm, bleeding.
"I good for my lunch break?" Kara requested. "Alex is here.
"Just one more thing you have to do." Lena smiled.
"What's that."
"This." Lena grabbed Kara by her hips, pulling her in close and kissing her.
Soft pleased growls left Kara's lips as they parted for Lena, kissing back happily.
"Why do I always melt when you do that?" Lena wondered aloud.
"Are you saying you're wet?" Kara teased in a whisper.
"Fuck you." Lena thudded her fist gently against Kara's shoulder as her knees felt weak for Kara.
"Such a bad girl." Kara teased, rolling her hips against Lena.
"You need to stop taunting me like that before I collapse.". Lena warned.
"But what if I like that idea? You, helpless in my arms, desperate for me?" Kara fantasized.
"Kara!" Lena snapped almost out of breath. "You need to stop that, there are customers!"
"I'm sure they would enjoy the show." The wolf was growing bold.
"Kara!" Lena gasped, feeling the wolf grab her ass.
"Tell me you don't like it and I'll stop." Kara offered.
"I.." Lena felt fingers fondle her fabulously.
"Four simple words and I'll stop. 'I don't like it'."
"I don't want to lie to you Kara." Lena whimpered.
"Then don't." Kara's sweet voice rained sex down upon Lena almost as heavily as Kara's scent.
"You need to stop being so … damn…" Lena fought.
"So damn what?" Kara cooed into Lena's ear.
Alex coughed pale and drained, watching the lewd scene, trying to catch Kara's attention.
"Kara. Your sister is here." Lena reminded, hoping to escape for a free breath.
"Do you want me to stop?"
"Yes Kara I would love for you to stop. I'd rather not watch the porno staring my baby sister in the middle of this butchery this afternoon!" Alex hissed.
"I'm waiting for your response." Kara's gaze didn't budge from Lena.
" Yes please stop. I don't like it." A terrible look of horrific pain became of Lena's face as the words were forced from her throat.
"Good. Now can you get off of her." Alex's eyebrows hopped impatient as the mark of the Ouroboros with skulls shown on skin.
"I didn't. I swear!" Lena promised Kara.
"I know. I'm sorry. Are you ok."
"Yeah… just hurts a bit." Lena rubbed her throat. "Have a good lunch Kara." Lena kissed Kara on her cheek.
"She won't be doing that to you again." Kara kissed Lena back, exiting from behind the counter.
"You can't be doing that out in the open. People will wonder what the hell is wrong with you two. This is the establishment frequented by the second most supers in the whole city. Lena can't have too many prowling eyes." Alex advised.
"Oh yeah but you can go strangling my girlfriend to force her to speak using death magic!" Kara snapped under her breath.
"What the hell has gotten into you Kara!" Alex fought back.
Kara gave off a deep growl, flashing inhuman teeth without a care for who might see.
"In back now!" Alex ordered.
"I am not your servant! I am an alpha!" Kara barked, loud enough to garner glasses.
"In back now!" Alex demanded.
Kara showed no signs of calming, only growing in her boldness to reveal herself in the busy butchery.
"Kara please." Lena whined, the scent that filled the room bringing out something sensually submissive from within her.
Kara sniffed the air, catching her mate's odor catching her. Almost immediately Kara was at Lena's side, her close, the distressed scent calling to her for support. "Please go in back with Alex for your lunch." Lena requested weak.
"Anything For you my girl." Kara offered, caressing Lena's cheek, brushing hair from her face.
Lena purred weakly into the caress, wanting nothing more than to cuddle up with Kara and have the wolf hold her close, to feel those soft fingers run down her back as she nuzzled Kara, burying her nose against the origin of that heavenly scent emanating from the strong wolf.
"In back now!" Alex yanked on the collar of Kara's shirt, pulling her along to the back downstairs den. Alex's breaths were labored, stressed and drained, but appearing strong to try and garner attention and respect from her rowdy sister.
Kara snarled, wishing to return to holding her omega.
"What the hell has gotten into you! What is going on!?"
"I want to hold my omega! What is wrong with that!" Kara growled.
"To start with she isn't an omega!"
"I …" Kara paused.
" And is that actually something you would want to do to her!? Or have you forgotten the pain Cat goes through every month!?"
"Don't you even speak her name!" Both Kara and her wolf wished to speak the same words, but neither of them were sure why in the slightest.
"Why? Because you want that omega? Or because you hate her?" Alex tested Kara, instantly seeing the conflict in her sister.
"I.. I don't know. "Kara felt a resonance with her wolf unfounded for any time other than during the turn. Neither of them could sort out their emotions or cravings in the slightest.
Alex huffed, softening. "Are you ok? You don't look like you are getting enough sleep. "
"I.. I'm sleeping fine." Kara lied.
"Then what is it." Alex pressed.
"Nothing. Just.. rowdy wolf, ok?"
"No. I've seen your wolf rowdy, that isn't this." Alex disagreed.
"It's fine ok?" Kara urged, not wishing to focus on issues.
"How long have you been this quick to anger? It's only been a week since I last saw you?" Alex rushed to Kara, checking her scent glands and pupils. "You are running hot. And these are swollen almost to the point it's visible."
"It is nothing!" Kara whimpered, hormones going crazy from having her scent glands touched.
"Drop your pants. "
"Dear God no!"
"I can see you pitching a tent." Alex gestured.
"One of the many reasons I'm saying no!" Kara argued wide-eyed.
"Lena know yet? The way you are all over her she will spot it sooner or later."
"I'm pretty sure I poked her with it last week while she was sitting on my lap, but she was a little high on my blood so she didn't notice. Or she doesn't remember. I'm not sure." Kara admitted.
"What you gonna do when she finds out? Mate her?"
"She is already my mate!" Kara barked. "She wears my mark!"
"I can smell it on her that she hasn't mated with you in that way." Alex countered.
"She is still my mate." Kara contested. "And speaking of smells, you smell like spoiled milk."
"I.. that's Sam." Alex stepped away. Hurting that anyone could find it anything but perfect, but knowing that it was the case.
"You want me to what?" Alex giggled under Sam as the woman kissed her.
"I want you to let me scent you." Sam requested.
"You know I'm still human right?"
"Well, we don't know that. I gave you the bite." Sam argued.
"Yes but even a normal human bitten by a wolf isn't truly a wolf till their first turn." Alex reminded.
"Fair. But I still want to do it … with your permission of course." Sam shrugged, kissing at Alex's neck.
"God.. Samantha! If you keep doing that I'll never be able to say no to you."
"I like that idea." Sam hummed pleased, sucking and licking at Alex's neck, quickly seeing Alex melt and moan for her. Sam could smell it, Alex pooling in her panties, soaked so easily for her mate.
"Yes! Please yes! I want to reek of your scent! I want it to be clear I am yours!" Alex burst out, pleading.
"Such a good girl." Sam praised.
"God! Fuck, Sam, it hurts!" Alex pleaded.
"I know baby. Let me help with that." Sam hummed, slipping her hand down Alex's body, tracing the pads of tender fingers down Alex's quivering flesh.
"Please!" Alex screamed revealing her neck completely, needing to feel Sam's fingers on her.
"Yes baby. Whatever you want." Sam purred, slipping a hand down Alex's panties, tracing her middle finger along the outline of Alex's folds, enjoying getting to play with her soaked girlfriend; to watch Alex writhe under her needing so much more. "I am going to rub my neck and wrists against you now, ok?" Sam warned lovingly.
"Yes, yes yes yes! Fuck!" Alex howled, digging her nails into her mate's back.
"Already feeling a bit more …. Primal?" Sam wondered, dragging her free wrist against Alex's side, brushing her neck along Alex's
Alex growled back low. "Yes!" Her nails clung deeper.
"Do you want to cum? Is my scent saturating your system yet? Overwhelming you? Making it so that all you can think of is your mate."
"You… Didn't need to scent me for all that to start happening to me." Alex offered, kissing Sam's cheek, bucking her hips up to meet Sam's fingers.
"So impatient my sweet little girl. "
"It feels so good. But it hurts too." Alex whined.
"I know baby. Just give in, enjoy it as the tension builds within you." Sam shivered, her swollen scent glands rubbing against Alex.
"H.. how long will it stick?" Alex whimpered, feeling Sam slip a finger inside her as a thumb traced the hood that covered her clit.
"Couple days? Two or three showers." Sam continued.
"Ohh! Fuck!" Alex bit her lips so hard she thought it would bleed as Sam's thumb hit her clit directly.
"That's a girl."
"A.. always want to smell like you.. like my mate; my alpha." Alex panted, her breath getting away from her.
"That sounds nice." Sam purred in agreement. "I would love that."
"Right there!" Sam hit just the tight spot, her thumb circling on Alex's clit just right, her fingers slipping in and out with ease.
"Cum for me. I want to hear my baby girl release. " Sam instructed, finishing up the ritual of scenting her mate.
Alex broke flesh, howling as she clawed deep into Sam's back, needing Sam impossibly closer as her orgasm washed over her, drowning her in waves of delicious release. Everything about having her mate atop her, scenting her, and easing her climax perfect.
Alex was still shivering in pleasure as Sam pulled her hand away from Alex's ruined panties, licking up the fluids of her lover.
"God that was fantastic." Alex commended.
"I'm glad you enjoyed. Thank you for letting me scent you baby. I appreciate it. I've never gotten to. Scent someone before. It .. it was …It was really nice. It is really calming, feeling my scent all over you." Sam purred, nuzzling Alex.
"Thank you to baby. I liked it as well. Now.. I'm exhausted, and I have to go see Kara tomorrow before I open up the bar."
"ok then. Rest Alex. You need it." Sam kissed, holding her mate tight, enjoying Alex coated in her scent.
"She scented me last night." Alex explained.
"God it's heinous!" Kara huffed.
"That is my girlfriend! Not to mention she is a close friend of yours !now And you will not say such things about her!" Alex defended.
"She reeks of competition! Course I hate it! It's nothing personal."
"You could still stand to be a little more polite about it." Alex pulled back.
"Sorry." Kara huffed.
"What is wrong with you!" Alex glared.
"Nothing." Kara lied again. Alex didn't let up. "I don't know! Ok! Everything is great with Lena! But.. my wolf… "
"Is craving to mate." Alex finished. "And needs her omega."
"Y..yes." Kara allowed.
"So you do know."
"I just don't like acknowledging it." Kara looked away.
"It's gonna be ok Kara." Alex hugged her sister.
"Dear God I feel like I'm gonna puke." Kara wretched. "Fuck she smells like another alpha!"
"Please. Stop. I really like it." Alex pulled back.
"I.. I'm sorry. My sense of smell has been a bit extra acute as of late."
"Ok." Alex shied away from Kara, not feeling right. "So.. how have things been? I brought you the rest of your clothes."
"Things have been ok. Lena and I have been… a lot more flirty as of late. We..we are actually doing really well. " Kara hummed happily.
"Good. I'm glad. You two deserve to be happy. " Alex nodded back.
"You and Sam… smell happy." Kara offered, tension clearly stifling conversation between the sisters.
"We are. We are. I… had a conversation with Cat the other day."
"Yes?" Kara listened in.
"She is doing well. "
"Good I'm glad." Kara nodded.
"I asked her if she knew anything about why Lena could drink from you without getting sick.".
"Umm. Added point of addendum! She didn't get her usual withdraw hangover that she does with human blood. She got hungry again five days later or so. But... that's it "
"Great. Even more questions. With no answers!" Alex complained.
"You didn't get anything?" Kara checked.
"I have a feeling she is hiding something. But. No. Nothing. So far. At least on that front." Alex sighed frustrated.
"But on another front?" Kara lead.
"The wolves are growing restless. I asked Cat about it, and as it turns out they will only get worse and worse without their alpha."
"I can't Al."
"I know. But does your wolf?"
"No."
"I think you need to talk to her about that then. Because until you do … I have a feeling you will only get more and more easily frustrated and quick to anger. " Alex advised.
"I know. " Kara fought.
"Ok. Well. Here are the rest of your clothes Kara. I love you sis. I'm always here for you. " Alex headed out. Not even trying to hug Kara again.
Kara knew why Alex was acting so cold and distant; not even hugging her before she left. But knowing didn't make it any easier, or hurt any less.
"Is she ok?" Lena rushed to Alex as she left the back room.
"I don't know." Alex brushed off.
"Hey, are you ok?" Lena grabbed Alex's hand, noticing her pale lips and apparition inspired complexion.
"I'm fine." Alex exhaled exasperated.
"Then why are you breathing like you just ran a mile?"
"I'm not!" Now let go!" Alex yanked her arm back.
"Fine Alex. Take care ok?" Lena sighed worried.
"Thank you." Alex nodded, rubbing her wrist, even the light grip leaving a risk of bruising.
Alex returned to the bar an hour later, exhausted, but having barrel started her day. No one was home yet. Ruby was still at school, and Sam didn't get off work for another two hours. The perfect time to refill her best seller. Alex knew she didn't have much of a choice. She had been giving out more extra than she had to Vampires down on their luck, especially the leech Jimmy. She took pity on him to an extent. She had known him since before he had been turned and he worked all day in the sun every day. But Alex didn't have enough spare blood to skim of the top to keep him healthy. Alex pulled up a chair, opening the tank kept under the counter of the bar. She grimaced, not wanting to do this, but knowing her supplies were running lower than they should, and that if she were to run out it would be overly peculiar. Alex winced, cold metal severing her wrist, pouring her blood into the tank as she felt even fainter. "Fuck." Alex whimpered, lowering her head, hoping to offset the lightheadedness accompanying the bleeding.
"Fucking Crist go faster." Alex griped, looking down and seeing that the tank was nowhere near what she would need just to get through the night.
"Alex!" Sam glared from the front door Ruby at her side.
"Ohh hehe somebody said a bad word." Ruby teased.
"S….Sam?" Alex slumped to the side, falling down, blood from her wrist flying up and over the counter.
"Alex!?" Ruby screamed, rushing to behind the counter. The young child would forever be scared by what she saw that day. The nurturing mother figure collapsed on the ground, multiple slits down her arm, blood everywhere. Ruby had seen Gore before. She was a wolf. But seeing a human passed out and bleeding. The terrifying yellow fat visible through Alex's thinning blood. The image would never leave her mind, seared into her eyes forever as the horrified howled broke free from her.
