Alpha Sabre Shattered Rouge A broken heart can heal but can a broken mind? 
 
 
 Chapter 1  
 
Riley shivered in the late fall wind. Her sky blue eyes watched the red leaves dance towards the ground. 'I wish I could be like them.' She thought. Walking on she made it to school in time to grab her books and slip into class. Watching the teacher write down the days notes and assignment she let a small sigh slip before taking out lined paper to copy what was written. 
Ring! Ring! 
'The bell...' She almost groaned as the preps entered the class. The tiny cheerleader outfits left nothing to the imagination as it hugged the thin frames of the girls. The football captain managed to overlook her as he grabbed a blond and started working his hand up her thigh. Riley kept her head down all through class and shuffled out after the other kids when the bell rang. 
'Three more months and we can leave this place Riley.' Her wolf poked at Her mind, trying to comfort the sad girl. 
'I know Leaf, but what if they don't let me?' Her answer was short and simple, 'I will kill them.' giving the halls a quick scan Riley darted off to her classes. 
The home was empty as always. After her parents died in a crash Riley had stayed on her own with the neighborhood pack watching her. With it being made up of mostly teenage wolves that haven't shifted yet, Riley was picked on and teased about being an late bloomer. She hadn't shifted yet. A time slot of three months to go and she would be eighteen, old enough to move away from the pack or in with them. 
'Leaf what do you think we should do?' 
'Leave, I hate that Alpha. He thinks everyone should bow down to him, even those stronger than him.' Riley could see her golden eyes flashing with hate. 
'Well, what pack would you move to?' she asked getting out a tub of leftovers. 'I kinda don't want a pack, we could make it as Rouges.' 
That got her a snort, 'Yes you can hunt very well.' 
'Ha-ha, very funny!' she growled walking up the stairs to the roof, 'And I suppose that you could do better?' she shook her head and laid down in the back of Riley's mind. 
“I thought so.” looking up at the stars she traced her scar. It was what she got for not protecting her parents, the long jagged mark started from the inside of her wrist then traveled to the top of her hand. “Can you hear me? All alone up there? Me too. I wish I hadn't survived, then I could be with you now.” sighing as no one answered her she descended to the kitchen. 
Three months later... 
A happy Riley accepted her diploma from the principal and shook hands. Taking her place with the others who had graduated she let a very rare grin appear on her face. 
“Keep making faces and we might suspect something is wrong with you.” her friend whispered at her. 
That got a snort out of her. She was more than happy, she had graduated, turned eighteen, and finally shifted! About a month from her birthday she was walking in the woods when a painful cramp took her body full force. It brought her crashing to the ground and whimpering. Luckily the Beta happened to be patrolling the borders then and had come across her. 
He had coached her through the shift and even took her on a run after. She now had frequent runs with the man, she learned to hunt properly and her muscles had become toned. 
“I'm just happy.” she muttered back. Tossing her cap into the air with the others. Going to get her cover she slipped the silken gown over her head, folding it neatly and placing it in her bag. “I know how you feel, ready to move in with the pack?” 
“I'm not moving in. I plan on leaving to find new experiences.” this caught her friend off guard. 
“But everyone thought you would have been coming to live with us. You just shifted and we all know you probably haven't had any training...” that's where your wrong girly-girl. 
“I'll learn in my own time.” She slung the bag onto her back, “I have to go.” walking over to the beat up truck she had managed, with the Beta's help, to piece back together, she climbed in and drove home to place her things in the truck. 
'We might want to hurry.' Leaf growled, 'They might try and stop you. The alpha has been taking notice of you lately.' throwing the last box in the cab Riley quickly sped her way to the border line. Just as she passed it three huge wolves stopped at the line, baring their teeth at the fading tail lights. 
'Good, now lets find a place to stay soon.' she yawned as the sun decided to sink in the sky. 'Okay...' 
The motel lights flashed in her face and without thinking or scenting the area she parked paid for a room and locked up the truck. 'A clean bed and a nice hot shower sound nice.' she thought. Tossing her keys on the lone bed she headed into the small bathroom to shower. 
 
 
 
 Chapter 2  
 
The hot water relaxed her muscles and made the sleep dig its claws even deeper into her mind. She managed to stumble to the bed before dropping off. 
Knock, Knock 
Riley groaned, hoping if she ignored the person knocking they would leave. But lady luck was not on her side. The door was wrenched off it's hinges. Scared she huddled against the headboard, watching the three burly males enter the suddenly small room.  
“She smells like a keeper.” the tallest growled out.  
'Werewolf...' She snatched at the fallen overnight bag and waited on the bed for them to notice her. 
“The boss could have some good fun with her.” The three chuckled and advanced on her. 
Leaf was awake by now and whispering instructions into her ear, 'Duck under his arm and allow your claws to slash at the tender underarm. Yeas like that.' Blood poured out of the wound and the wolf screamed. ' Dash to the truck, plunge your claws in his jaw. Good girl, start it and go!' 
Riley floored the truck once on the road getting as far away as possible from the men. 'Thank you Leaf!' she whimpered. The she-wolf only brushed against her mind before retreating. 
Hours later Riley relaxed. Her heart not beating hard and she felt safer. 'I need to eat...Ah!' there a ways off was a bar. Parking the truck and locking up she went inside. The room was nearly vacant with only a few people besides the bartender. “What can I get you pretty lady?” he asked with a slight slur to his words, suggesting he had a few to drink. 
“A shiners please and do you know where I can get something to eat?” 
“Sure, my friend back there will help you out, tell him what ya want.” 
“Anything is good.” She said, not trying to be rude. 
“Gale make a good breakfast for the young lady here. And hand me a shiners while your at it.” handing her the cold bottle he offered the opener but stopped to watch as she opened it bare handed. 
“Sorry, I’ve had a rough morning.” The room seemed to get a little colder and he nodded. 
“I'll be right back miss, I never did catch your name.” 
“Riley, Riley Miller, and you?” 
“Ray-Jay Jenkin, I own the bar with my brother back there, Gale Jenkin.” 
She watched the man limp to what looked like an office but turned away as Gale set a steaming omelet and slices of bacon, “Hear you had a bad morning, I find bacon helps.” giving the man a real smile she dug in. 
In the office 
“Yes I'm sure! No human woman can open a bottle barehanded! She didn't say where she was from but said she had a bad morning.” 
“Name?” 
“Riley Miller, a real pretty lady too, I would get down here before she decides to high tail it.” 
“Hold her there for a little, I'll be down in ten.” 
Riley looked up as Ray-Jay came back. “Sorry about that, my mother wants me to call her every day and it had to be soon. Was about to call when you showed up.” 
smiling she took another sip of the beer, “It's okay, I don't mind at all.” 
“So where you coming from little lady?” 
“Green birch, a nice small town, just graduated and turned eighteen a few days ago.” She tried to judge his emotions but only one showed up. Nutral. 
“Why you traveling? Ain't home good enough?” His eyes caught the small look around her eyes did. 
“I don't want to be around the family any more, it's personal.” nodding like he understood her, he asked. 
“Do you want to take a nap before you hit the road? I got a spare bunk upstairs that has your name on it.” she beamed at him. 
“Please! I would love to take a small power nap.” he showed her to the bunk and headed out to meet the Alpha.

Chapter 3 
Astun looked up at the bar sign. 'Ray-Jay you had best not be lying to me.' he thought with a growl. Entering the place he was hit with the scent of a female in heat. 
“Good, your here Astun. She's sleeping in the extra room.” without replying to the man he strode into the back room and looked down on the female rouge. 
“Bring my truck around, Ray. Gale give me a blanket.” he wrapped the small girl in the blanket and carried her to his truck. “She will be staying back at my home.”  
“Yes sir.” 
Astun drove to his ranch fully intending to place a shock collar on the girl when he got there just to keep her on the land. 'I don't want any trouble coming form her.' she slept silently, ocasionally whimpering and whining in her sleep. 'Where does she come from?' 
Riley groaned as she awoke. The small nap she had taken only wore her out more. She tried to sit up but was restrained by something. 'What the hell...' looking down at her wrists and waist she saw leather bands keeping them down. 
“I see your awake.” a cold voice floated into the room and caressed her ears. 
“Who are you?” 
“Someone. No one you need to worry about right now.” Cold hands gently dragged along her neck before placing an equally cold collar around her neck. “This will keep you from running off my dear.” 
The straps were removed and the person disappeared. 'What the hell was that?' slowly getting up she blinked as her wolf vision kicked in. 'A cell? What did I do? Break some pack law?' seeing the cell door open Riley headed out. The bright sun blinded her for a moment but once she looked around she felt lost. 
The field was bright and sunny, the long grass came up to her knees and off to the right was a large house. A small whimper escaped her, 'Where am I?' heading off into the woods, not wanting to meet the people that owned the land, she shifted. 
The light gray wolf emerged from her body. Shaking out her fur she trotted on. Sniffing the air once or twice to try and find out where she was, she came upon what looked like and smelled like a pack border line. 'Good now I can leave!' But lady luck was not on her side. Just as her paw stepped over the scent line she got a small shock. 'What?' when she tried to move deeper out of the teritory the shocks grew harsher. 
Riley moved away from the fence, 'Damn people! I want to leave!' with a snarl she tried to get rid of the collar around her neck. Unknown to her a pair of golden eyes watched her struggle form the bushes. She halted in her attempts as a black male wolf stalked out.  
“Who are you?” she snarled, ears flat to her skull. 
“The owner of these lands, the Alpha to be more precise.” he barked back his own ears falling to the sides. 
“I want to leave!” she whimpered, not caring that he was seeing her weak. 
“No. you are to become part of my pack and will mate one of my males.” his lax ears twitched to life as she tried to leave the lands once again. “Do you have a death wish!?” 
“I will never mate someone I do not love.” she snarled gaining another paw step further away. “I chose my own mate! In my own time!” her legs where threatening to buckle but she continued. “You will not decide for me!” 
He watched with amusement as she fell to the ground snarling in pain from the collar. “But I will decide little rouge.” about to take her scruff in his jaws he leaped back when her claws lashed out. 
“Don't touch me!” narrowing his eyes in anger, Astun snapped back at her, pinning her to the floor with a heavy fore-paw. 
“You will do as I say little bitch! Or face my wrath!” he latched onto her neck ans started to haul her away. She fought tooth and claw to get free and finally he had enough. 
He yanked her to her paws and growled out, “I see you have to be taught a lesson, be warned, what you learn today will stay with you forever.” he allowed his body to mount the small gray female, ignoring her struggles. She cried out in pain and tried to dart forward. 
Riley wailed as the male attacked her body. Leaf was helpless to do anything while he held her in the mating grip, her body unresponsive. As he gave a good harsh push back into her body she felt him knot inside her, his seed rushing to fill her womb. But just when she thought it was over he grabbed her shoulder with his fangs and bit, hard. 
'No!' Leaf whimpered. Riley watched as a golden full moon was placed on her wolf's head and a golden spiral was marked under her right eye. 'A mating mark!' She realized as the pain subsided. The male behind her released her scruff and stood back to back with her. 
“Why?” she whimpered, “Why couldn't you have just left me alone!?” he didn't answer just stood still. 
Astun felt her pain as he finished deflowering her and even more as he marked her. She whimpered behind him and darted a good ten feet away from him once his knot loosened. “I don't care what you want but as my mate now you will obey me, is that clear?” he asked, getting a nod from her. “Good now come, we will wash in the river up ahead.” she followed behind him silently, limping from his assault. 
“Shift.” he commanded softly. Looking up to see him naked and waiting she began to panic. “Come here, now.” he growled, his now gray eyes glaring at Riley. She trembled and did as he bid, slipping into the cold stream and moving away from him.  
She felt his gaze trying to burn holes in her back but chose to ignore it in favor of washing off his scent. “Come here.” he growled. She looked back at him and growled back. 
“No.” within moments she was underneath him, his hand around her throat and body pressed against her. 
“I gave you an order, you will obey!” she struggled against his hold until, “I still haven't fucked you in humanoid form, I can easily arrange it.” she went deathly still. “Good girl.” he purred in her ear, licking the shell. 
He moved back slightly only to pull her into his lap. Astun's hands cupped the cold water and let it run down her body, 'Why does she have to be so stubborn?' he thought while rubbing the smooth soft skin on the inside of her thighs. 'I will make her obey me, even if I have to break her.' 
 
 
 
 Chapter 4  
 
Chapter 4 
Riley followed Astun back to the house she had seen. After a small amount of questioning she found that his name was Astun Frolen and he was the alpha of the Leferan pack. He managed to get her name from her but she refused to say where she was from. Looking at the black house looming up ahead she gave the male a small glance. His golden eyes were trained on the house as another wolf bound out. 
“Astun!” the wolf turned out to be a small pup. “Momma says you have to come quick!”  
“Run back in Rogen.” Once the pup was inside he turned to her. “Stay out of trouble or at least away from the others until I introduce you. I'll be back soon.” he shifted and trotted up the stairs, into the house. 
Riley laid down in the shadow of the house, her ears twitching at the sounds coming form the house. 'It smells like death, and someone seems to be crying...'  
“Riley?” a tired voice called out. She looked over to the tired male and noticed the tear streaked face. “Come, I need to get you inside.” she watched him warily as his hand stroked her back gently. Being lead up to a room she shifted and took the outstretched shirt. 
“I'll be back when it gets dark. Go to sleep.” happy he had allowed her to hunt before forcing her to follow him to his house she curled up under the sheets and blankets, 'I want to got home...' 
Astun watched as his father's body was lowered into the ground. His mother, sister and brother whimpered as they started cover the body. “Go inside and rest.” he ordered once the job was done. Herding the family back inside he went to his room. Under the blankets slept the rouge he had captured. Her breathing light and slow, soothing his frayed nerves. 
'I wish I wasn't Alpha...then I might have a chance to live my life.' curling up around the small girl he nuzzled her neck before drifting off. 
Riley groaned as the arm across her belly tightened. 'Who the hell...” looking groggily at an equally tired man she summed up that he had come back once done with whatever needed his presence. 
“I want you to stay in here for today. Tomorrow I will take you out on a run but for now stay here. I will have the maid bring you food.” she didn't argue, something was off in his tone, he seemed a bit less demanding. 
“Okay...but what will I do all day?” he pointed to the door on the right then to the left. 
“Right is shower the felt is my personal library.” with that he walked out, shutting the door firmly behind him. 
“Okay...” 
Astun growled in annoyance as yet another Alpha called to see if he was willing to give up his lands. 'I need a way to get rid of this stress!' opening his room door he found it empty. 'Where...ah!' the door to his library was slightly ajar. 
Looking in he saw her curled up on the soft leather couch with a book. She didn't look up as he slipped in. 'She likes reading...I will have to get mother or Lena to take her to the store soon.' “Riley.” she blinked a couple of times, adjusting her eyes. 
“Hm?” 
“Come, it's time you met my family.” he watched as she marked her place with a strip of paper before standing. 
“Hn...Okay.” she murmured while stretching her body.  
Riley followed him out of the room and into another that held three other people. Not being a very social person she hid partially behind Astun. “Mother, Lena, Rogen, this is my mate. Riley this is my mother, Jill, my sister, Lena and my little brother, Rogen.” his mother's dull gray eyes lit up once he spotted her. 
“Well! You're a pretty little thing.” 
His sister narrowed her eyes at him, “How bad did you fuck up this time Astun?” 
His younger brother bounced up to her and gave a toothy grin, “Hi! I'm Rogen!” Riley couldn't help but smile back at the boy. 
“Hi back. I'm Riley.” 
“Isn't that a boys name? My best friend's name is Riley too!” she knelt down to his level and nodded. 
“Yes it can be...” 
Jill watched as her baby boy chattered to the young girl. 'Astun...Where did you get her?' 
'She was trespassing as a rouge up at Ray-Jay's, I took her here.' 
'As if.' his sister growled, 'I know you Astun, you placed a shock collar on her then when she didn't bow down to you, your wolf marked her's.' 
a sigh came from their mother. 'I could care less how she got here as long as she is happy while she stays, keep a watch on her though my boy, she is a strong willed one. An Alpha's daughter, like Lena here. Watch your temper too.' with a huff Astun ignored them in favor of watching his mate play with his brother. 
“See? It sets down on the track and when I press this button it moves!” Rogen chirped happily. 
“I see!” Riley grinned as the train moved down the tracks. 
“Riley, come.” Astun called to her. 
She ran after the male but not before waving to the others. Just as they entered his room she was pushed up against the wall and had his body grinding up against her's. “I want you, now.” 
Scared she twisted out of his grip and tried to run. “I won't have none of this running crap.” he growled as he placed her arms behind her back. “I can tie you up and have my way with you.” she whimpered and looked up at him. 
“As scared as you are I still want to fuck you.” Astun's hands made quick work of the shirt and shorts she was wearing. “Shh...I'm not going to tear you up, not unless you fight me over this.” she was laid back on the bed and his larger frame was placed on top of her. 
He took her right nipple into his mouth and gently suckled, wondering when he could have her swollen with his first pup. After that he would never touch her again, unless she was in a heat. For now he would pleasure her but he would never again be gentle when mating. Leaving her breasts to trail his tongue down her belly to her cunt he took a quick taste making her jump and gasp. 
'Such a great way to release stress!' he thought allowing his fang to graze her swollen pearl. She mewled as he stretched her entrance with two fingers. Slowly moving them he used his other arm to strap her to the bed. 
Riley whimpered as something started building in her lower regions. She could feel his fingers helping it grow and she tried to buck her hips to dislodge the feeling but then again not to. She cried out as the thing building in her burst and she could feel her inner walls convulsing. “Sh...” he whispered inter her ear as he rose form his position between her legs.  
The pleasure came to a  screeching halt as something long and hard pushed it's way into her body. “S-stop! It hurts!” she cried out, trying to get away from him. 
“Sh...stop fighting me, it won't hurt for long.” he assured her, not being entirely truthful. With one quick thrust he was seated hilt deep in her wet cunt. She cried out in pain, tears leaking down her face. Leaning down to lick at the salty water, he nuzzled her cheek with gentleness he didn't think he had in him. “Think about something else, don't think about the pain.” 
Riley nuzzled him back, seeking comfort, and thought back to when her mother and father were alive. She was playing with her father ridding on his shoulders. She was happy back then. Looking up into his gray eyes she felt the pain subside slightly. He pulled from her body and slowly pushed back, testing to see if she was still hurting. Without her crying out he continued to move. 
He rode her slowly and carefully, his hardened cock no doubt hitting every inch of her wet cavern. Kissing the corner of her mouth, bringing her attention back to him, he gave a small smile, “Does it hurt?” she shook her head still looking in a daze. Feeling a bit better he sped up his thrusts and captured a rosy pink nipple with his mouth. His end was coming quickly and he watched as she started heading towards the edge. 
Three more hard, quick thrusts and both finished the rut. Rolling over so she was seated on top, he gasped for breath. “Are you okay?” he questioned after he could speak. 
She just nodded and rested her forehead on his slick chest. “Sleep.” he whispered in her ear. 
 
 
 
 Chapter 5  
 
Chapter 5 
Riley snuggled into the warm body wrapped around her own. A hand was drawing patterns into her skin softly. “Wake up mate. It is time for you to eat.” Astun's voice whispered in her ear before licking the shell. She groaned and looked up at him. His gray eyes still held that soft light they had last night. 
“Mm...okay...” he moved from the bed and headed to the shower. Looking at his retreating back she mulled over the events. 'Could I be pregnant? Was all that just a show? I hope to the high heavens that it wasn't just something to pass the time!' she was so deep in thought she didn't hear him come out. 
“Ahem.” looking up at the naked man she blushed a deep red before scrambling back. 
“S-sorry!” she squeaked. His eyes shone with amusement. 
“I'll forgive you this time, I told you to stay in the room until lunch. I will be coming to get you for that run I promised you.” She smiled and nodded. “Good girl. Stay safe.” he dressed and left. Astun growled as his sister intercepted him. 
“You raped her.” 
“No, I did what any mate does to their female.” 
“Doesn’t matter! She doesn’t want to be here! Release her before you mark her fully or when you refuse to touch her and your wolf ends up raping the poor girl!” she was shaking with anger. 
“What I do with my mate is my choice! You have no say in it! Butt out and leave my life alone!” he snarled in furry, slamming the door of his study. 
Riley sat in the library reading the old fairy tales. Right now she was looking at Cinderella. As she got to the part about the sisters cutting off parts of their feet to fit into the slipper, Lena barged into the room snarling. 
“Hey! You in here?!” watching the angry she-wolf pace she got ready to spring. “Oh don't worry I won't harm you, but my brother will. I want to know if he has ever hurt you, in any way.” 
Lena watched how the female rouge jumped and shifted uncomfortably while near her. 'What have you done Astun?' 
“I-i don't know if I should speak about it...I just want this collar off so I can go.” 
“Did he take you from your family?” 
“Oh no! My family is dead, I left their old pack so I could see how life was outside of the pack protection. I ended up in this bar and taking a nap but I woke up in some kind of shed with this shock collar on.” 
“I can get the collar off if he hasn't marked you twice, did he bite you last night?” watching the girl shake her head she reached forward, took her now bloody finger and wiped it across the surface. The collar glowed and snapped open. 
Astun growled as he felt the collar deactivate. 'Lena...' he raced up the stairs to see his mate and his sister talking in his library. 
“So you left Green Birch and the pack though you would mate with their alpha once you turned eighteen? Wow...” he entered the room fully and let his narrowed gaze land on his sister and mate. 
“Out Lena.” he snarled, putting Alpha force in his voice. She whimpered and slunk out of the room while his mate trembled on the couch. “Where is your collar?” he growled. 
She pointed to the black thing on the mantel and he strode over, snatching it up. “I put this on you for a reason, so you won't leave. What she just did broke our mating, and now we have to repeat rutting in our true forms.” she whimpered and cringed as he gently touched her head. 
Astun grabbed a hand full of her dark locks, “This time around I won't stop, you will not be able to walk without a limp for a week.” 
Riley laid on her belly crying. Pain shot up her back when she shifted slightly. After three days of none stop sex she was unable to move. Astun had only helped her bathe but left her alone on the rest. Trying to move she let out a high pitched yelp and ended up passing out. 
Astun found her face down in the middle of his bed. Some fresh blood had pooled against her inner thighs and instantly he had her in the bath tub, gently removing the blood and trying to wake her up. 
“Riley? Riley? Mate wake up.” she cried out in her sleep and he could smell her distress coming off her in waves. Taking her back into the room and curling up with her, he opened their mate bond. Pain ran through his body like lightening. 'Damn!' he groaned trying to bare with it. As it started fading she stirred in his arms.  
“Astun...?” She stiffened. 
“Shh...It's okay, rest and relax.”  but her body stayed stiff. He sighed and nuzzled his mating mark. 
Riley stayed stiff in his arms and ignored how he licked and nibbled at his mating mark. 'Leave me alone!' she screamed in her head, unknown to her the link was still open and he heard. 'Mate, stop this now! You are mine and will stay by my side until one of us dies!' he heard her sniffling and licked the tears away, 'Stop crying mate. I have taken some of your pain away and you will stop this.' but the tears continued and he chose to ignore them. 
Riley felt him sit up and move away. The door closed with a small click and she burst into a sobbing fit, knowing something he didn't. She could feel the small life building inside of her and knew she had to leave before something bad happened to the cub. Dragging herself out of the bed and down the hall to Lena's room she knocked on the door. 
“Yes-Riley!” she pulled her inside the small room, “What happened!?” 
“I-i need to l-leave.” 
“He got you pregnant.” it was a statement. 
“Yes.” she rummaged through her drawers and held up a wad of cash. 
“You won't be giving birth in wolf form because you didn't get pregnant in that form, so you'll need this for food and rent. Within two months you should give birth and when that happens he will know because of the bond.” she nodded and let Lena lead her outside. “Shift and run!” 
Riley ran as fast as she could getting out of Astun's lands within the day and then some. She was now panting under a tree next to a river. Looking up at the darkening sky she decided to head to a cave for the night. 
Astun walked towards his room and sighed. She needed to get over the fact that she couldn't escape him, she needed to learn her place and obey his commands. As he opened the door he expected her to still be on the bed, sleeping or something, but she wasn't there. A quick look in his library and bathroom made his heart thump unevenly. 'Riley...' the scent was stale and untraceable. Sitting down the the bed he growled into his hands, 'Dammit...' 
 
 
 
 Chapter 6  
 
Chapter 6 
Riley groaned as the cub kicked at her belly. 'Yes I know you want to come out.' she thought sarcastically. Rolling her golden eyes and grinning at her friend who smiled also. “So you ready to pop momma?” she asked. 
“Yes! I can't wait to see him!” placing a hand over her belly and rubbing gently she whispered, “Any news form Lena?” 
“Yeah and you won't like it. He found out where you are and should be here in a week.” 
'Great...' sighing and getting to her feet she answered, “I don't want him anywhere near my son, he may be the father but until I can fully trust he won't take my baby from me I don't want to be near him.” the men nodded and helped her to sit out on the porch. 
“We understand.” was all they said. 
A week later... 
Riley snarled as the others tried to get near her. Her back was killing her and the thought of Astun coming soon made her sick. Sometime late at night she had started going into labor and had yet to give birth. 
“Block him!” she heard someone shout. Snarls reached her ears and she recognized one.' Astun...' 
'I have come for you mate. You will not keep my son from me.' flinching she whined in pain but snarled again at the people coming near her. 
“Let me through! I have to be near her!” she heard Astun snarl. Soon he was crouching down beside her, ignoring the warning growls and snarls she tossed at him for touching her belly and cub. “Relax mate, it is almost time. Breath.” she grabbed his hand in her own and squeezed hard. 
He yelped in pain, 'What the hell was that for!?' 
'For thinking you can just keep him away from me once he is born. Mine, my cub!' 
Astun thought for a moment before nuzzling her cheek, “Okay, I won't take him form you.” 
Three hours later... 
Riley held a screaming baby boy in her arms with a worried male looking over her shoulder, 'Is he alright?' he questioned her. She nodded. 
'Yes he's cold and hungry, that's it.' she felt a warm hand on her cheek before looking up. 
'Can I hold him?' he sounded scared and she almost chuckled. 
'Wait until he is cleaned up.' she handed him off to her friend and waited as they carted him off. 
'In a week you and I will travel back home, do you understand mate?' she only nodded her eyes dropping with exhaustion. 'Sleep, you need your rest.' 
Riley cooed down at her son. His bright gray eyes danced with happiness as he received her attention. 
“Are you ready mate?” Astun asked coming up to stroke his son's cheek before her's. 
“Almost. I need to say good-bye to my friends.” she could feel his growls through her back. “Stop that-” she was cut off as his hand wrapped around her mouth. 
“Be quiet. Do not think you can order me around just because you care for my heir and son. You have three minutes to say your farewells then you had best be in the car.” she shivered as he left. 
'Dammit, why can't he just be nice for once?' she scooped Hunter up out of his crib before heading out to the front yard. “Good travels Riley.” Sam said, hugging her close. 
“Put him in his place girl.” she received another hug from Dane before moving on to the rest. 
“Mate...” looking over at Astun's rigged form she moved back and waved, walking towards him. Slidding to the far side she held on to her son tightly as Astun entered after her. “Drive.” he commanded someone. 
“Give him to me.” He demanded watching at she hugged Hunter closer. “Do you wish for punishment?” her eyes misted up slightly. 
“You'll give him back...right?” feeling her fear through their bond he nodded and held his arms out for the now frowning boy. A smile appeared back on his face once in the arms of his father. 
“You will grow up strong and healthy my boy. Your new pack will be proud to meet you.” sensing fear from his mate he questioned her. “What troubles you little one?” 
“I don't want him near others!” she watched his eyes widen. “I don't want anyone near him but me and you.” 
“Mate they will have to see him once or twice, it would reflect badly on both of us if we never showed him to the other alphas.” she didn't listen just held her arms out for their son. Sighing he released the boy back into the care of his mother and decided to pull her into his arms. “I know you don't want to but it will happen.” she stayed silent. 
Riley wanted to snap and snarl at Astun's pack. They each wanted to hold her cub and all she wanted to do was run and hide. When a female glared at her after not being allowed to hold Hunter she moved from the living room to Astun's library to feed her son. 
“Riley...” he trailed off after seeing his son feed. Gently stroking his soft, small cheek he let out a rumbling purr. Hunter responded with the same noise. “You need to come back down after feeding him, we are not done introducing my son.” she just hugged him closer. 
“I don't want to let any females hold him. It makes me and my wolf want to kill them.” the lone wolf instinct was another female could kill your cubs. 
“Riley everyone has to let him know their scent, I know you don't like being around them but for now deal with it.” but she ignored him. 
“I am not going back down.” she snarled as he tried to take Hunter form her. “MINE!” sighing as her eyes flashed black he retreated downstairs to tell them enough for today. 
“But Alpha, several people haven't held him yet.” His beta told him.  
“Yes I know but she is still a new mother and feels uncomfortable with others. We will set something up later.” the pack filed out of the house and he headed up to his room. 
Lena growled at him as he passed her. “Cut the shit Lena. She is still mine and will always be.” Walking in he noticed Riley watching him with distrust in her gaze. “Mate...” she growled at him, her eyes tinting black. Snarling softly back Astun made his way to the side of the bed, “Back down now or suffer a punishment.” 
Still she continued growling, looking to see his son in the crib he grabbed her neck. “Back down.” he snarled. She struggled in his hold trying to kick him, her claws raking down his forearm. Tightening his hold, Astun took her into the library and used his free hand to bring down his favorite toy. A set of chains came down from the ceiling and he used them to hold her in place. 
“I will break you tonight.”

Chapter 7 
Riley looked up with dull eyes as her mate entered the room. Watching him pick up Hunter and head her way she backed up until she hit the wall. Astun sighed and set his son down on the bed before snatching at his mate, bringing her onto the bed. 
“My son needs to feed.” he growled, not caring that she was trying to get away from him. She stopped her movements and crawled up to lay beside the crying cub. Allowing him to latch on she winced as his sharp teeth scrapped at the tender flesh. Astun sat behind her watching. 
She watched every day as he took her cub to some other woman and then went to work, but a few days of Astun's claws upon her back cut the caring out of her. She now sat alone in his library, huddled in a corner, waiting for the day to end. As Hunter fell asleep she removed her breast and tried to leave the bed but was stopped as Astun pulled her back to lay beside him. 
Astun was tired of having a cold bed. She would feed his cub then run off to hide from him. He nuzzled his mating mark, gently licking it, before waiting for her to fall asleep. She stayed stiff in his arms, unmoving, but as time wore on she found his arms comforting and started to relax. As she dropped off he shifted until his son was laying on top of her belly and her head was nestled on his chest. 
Riley struggled to find a reason why she was wrapped up in a pair of warm arms and had another warm body laying on her stomach. Looking down to see her cub sleeping peacefully she then looked up to find her mate watching her. 
“Good morning mate.” he rumbled gray eyes slightly soft with sleep. She ducked her head, blushing. 
“Morning.” she whispered. His hand swept her hair back, forcing her to look up at him. 
“Keep your eyes on me.” he murmured, gently nibbling on the flesh of her bottom lip.  He picked Hunter up and put him in the crib before coming back to her. “Always keep your eyes on me.” his hand slid across the smooth skin of her belly. 
She bit her bottom lip to hold in the whimper building in her throat. His hands slid up her night shirt to cup her breast gently. 'Why is he being gentle?' she thought before looking up to see the black eyes of his wolf. 'Ah..shit!' she groaned as his skillful fingers played across her slit. “Good girl...” he growled, making three digits plunge into her tight channel. 
“N-no!” she cried, getting her mind back when a flash of pain hit her lower body. Her arms were  restrained above her head and her legs thrown wide so her could settle his own hips against hers. “Stop!” without a pause he slammed into her body, uncaring as to how she felt at the moment. He groaned and relaxed his grip for a moment.  
Riley slipped her hands form his and pushed on his shoulders, “Please! Stop this!” she begged, body throbbing in pain. Astun snarled at her, fangs flashing in her face before going into her neck. She cried out and continued to make strangled sounds as he found pleasure in her flesh. 
A grunt and groan alerted her to his end, allowing her some relief when he rolled off of her. “Be good today.” was all he said before heading into the bathroom. Quickly scrambling into the library she hid in the farthest corner, eyes closed tightly when the flashes of memories haunted her mind. Water could be heard in running in the pipes but it did little to distract her from her pain. 
She rocked back and forth as more and more memories swamped her head. “Make them stop!” she cried, hands on her temples pressing down harshly. “Make it stop! Please!” she didn't notice nor care that someone had entered the room and was now embracing her gently. “Make it stop!” she cried in to a hard wet chest. A hand stroked down her back, murmuring small nothings to her. She ignored everything around her in favor of trying to keep the flashes of her new life from appearing in her mind. 
“Sh...all is well mate.” Astun rumbled lightly. He had no reason why he was on the floor with the female wolf between his legs. He had been on the shower cussing out his wolf when a searing pain had ripped through his head and he blacked out. When he came to Riley was rocking in his arms begging for him to make something stop. “Tell me what is wrong.” he heard his wolf command softly. 
“My head hurts, all the bad memories are pounding against my mind.” she whimpered, still rocking in his arms. “They won't stop!” he smelled fresh tears and snarled at his wolf. 'Dammit! Get away from her!' but the wolf stubbornly refused to hand control of their body back tot he human half.  
'You harm the mate in more ways than one, if I could I would cast you down to the Hellar God, so he may rip you limb from limb for what you are doing. Mates are to be treasured and loved, she had received neither.' once again the wolf spoke to their mate with soothing tones. With  few more words he was scooping her up and carrying her into the bedroom. “Sleep and relax mate.” he whispered into her sleeping ear before walking out of the room.
