"She's home." Robin sighs taking a much deeper reassuring breath of air after that first tentative opening of the cottage's front door after that last frightened yelp of battling wolves faded into what someone who wasn't her would consider an ominous kind of quiet.
The two sickening flavors of posturing Bata and unworthy Alpha that had been attempting to court her out of her chosen den are now completely dominated by her Alpha.
"Mummy's come home to us Mr. Rabbit." Robin giggled ducking back inside the cottage house for a thicker blanket from the small collection she'd made covering Alice's bed. "Don't worry I'm just going to collect her now." She goes on giving the toy bunny a soft kiss on its head before replacing it in its place of honor in what will be Alice's side of the nested space Robin had made of the Alpha's bed. "and yes I know it's chilly outside. I'll be sure to take another blanket with me." She promises already scenting a spare heavily as she made the quick walk from her nest to the door.
It didn't take long for the hunting Omega to find her prey once she'd cleared the first line of outer trees beyond the cottage's small back garden.
The Bata Robin now recognizes as Clayton passed out in the dirt, but Robin could see the man's chest rising and falling so the stink of blood on the air didn't bother her as much as she turns towards the other two in the small trio's fight.
"That's enough, my Alpha."
Alice only growled lower in her throat at the idea of releasing the whimpering excuse for a fellow alpha from her kneeling show of submission. she didn't deserve to get up let alone live after she tried to take what was already Alice's.
"Alice. That's enough." Her Omega decides at the same time Robin's strong arms wrap in a loose yet grounding embrace around the angered Alpha's middle. The archer's chin resting against Alice's shoulder her amused giggling only heightening Alice's ego as the taller blonde nuzzled her cheek against Alice's throat her front molded along Alice's back. The taller woman's warmth cut into the chilly press of twilight around them.
"Leave, Now." Robin commands not bothering to spare Drizella more than a passing glance as she continues her quiet nuzzling against her Alpha's neck. True it was only by scent alone, but the act was clearly an obvious claiming of the Omega's own to any who bothered to notice.
Even beaten as she was Robin sees the flash of annoyance from the submitting Alpha at the idea of being ordered around by an Omega. Even a highborn like Robin was.
Golden blue eyes spin to meet silvery-green as Alice twists around in Robin's grip.
"She's no concern of ours anymore my Alpha. You've beaten her." Robin says her tone even as her fingers twist along the back of her angered blonde's neck drawing Alice's attention from Drusilla's limped retreat.
"She was going to…."
Robin quieted the snarled words with a light flurry of kisses. Her inner Omega was much more playful now the threat of any other forced suiters was well taken care of. "I thought we agreed no more running to Wonderland." Robin reminds by way of changing the subject. "We might not be mates but that doesn't mean I want you suffering….."
Alice's answer besides giving her Omega's neck a playful nibbling bite to quiet her was to hitch Robin's legs into a more stable hold as she carried her Omega into the much more covering haven of the cottage rather than the much more tempting idea of listening to her archer's lusty moans out in the open as they mated against the steadying trunk of a tree as her instincts were demanding.
"Maybe after our marks have cooled, we can come back under the stars." Robin offered in a groan considering Alice's teeth were currently nibbling teasingly along the unbitten skin of the Omega's neck. The suggestion ended in a whimpered curse when the move paused with her neck unbitten with the claiming scar of Alice's teeth.
"This one is d…dif….different." Alice groaned considering Robin's hips have started that dangerously tempting roll against her own making it harder and harder for the walking Alpha to stay on her chosen course of putting a solid locking door between her soon-to-be mate and the rest of the world.
"I know." Robin hummed licking the flat of her tongue along Alice's neck earning a grumbled moaned growl from the Alpha holding her.
Even a basic course in heat and rut lessons covers the bonding tie when even the simplest of courting wolves sync cycles.
A level of deep trust that goes beyond just the want to mate, knot and breed.
"Nobin."
Alice didn't need to open her eyes to tell her Omega was purring in smug joy at the warned grunt of her nickname as her Omega's hip give another claiming grind against the separating layer of clothes the two still wore.
Thankfully for Alice, they'd reached at least the overhead covering of the front porch, so she didn't feel as bad about roughly pressing Robin's back against the sturdy trunk for something a little more stable than her own arms as Alice's lips moved in a long claiming chain of kisses from Robin's mouth to her collarbone.
"Wrong side." Her Omega pouted her trembling fingers tugging meekly at the ties of Alice's shirt at the apparent rejection from her Alpha. Apparently, she hadn't thought anything of Alice's hard buck of her hips against the Omega's clothed sex.
"Is not, love" Alice calmed nuzzling her forehead to Robin's own as she kicked the door closed behind them. The sound of the actual closing earned a startled gasp from the trembling archer cradled in her arms.
"Just take me to bed already, my Alpha." Robin whined the same instant Alice was lowering her back to her own unsteady feet. The move was mostly to help ride both women out of their too itchy clothes now they were in such close proximity.
The need to mate overwhelmed any lingering thoughts on modesty.
"Gladly, my lovely Omega." Alice agreed pushing down her more animalist want to take and claim as her glazed eyed make a hungry appraisal of her wild Omega's naked body as she helpfully carried the stripped-off clothes with her as she followed Robin back to the corner that served as the cottage bedroom so the discarded clothes could be carefully added to the already gathered collection littering the bed.
"But first…" she trails off pushing her wild tangled hair back to expose the unbitten space where a mate mark usually rests.
Robin's eyes well with the threat of awed tears as she guides her willing almost mate back towards the gathered collection of clothes, blankets, and towels cluttering the bed. Alice gasped in quiet longing at the soft press of her lover's lips rather than the much longed-for stinging tare of her teeth as she was pulled into the closely guarded space. Mr. Rabbit has been moved so the toy was facing the wall rather than the snuggling couple amid the pial of sheets and clothes.
"I love you, Alice Jones." Her Omega purrs as the archer looms over her in the carefully gathered nest.
"I love you more, Robin Mills." The Alpha sighs linking her arms around Robin's neck coxing the dark-eyed huntress in for a hard kiss before the true fun started….
