ALPHA'S VIRGIN HUMAN MATE

This is crazy. Kyla Hunt's rage boiled over as she stared at the ruthless jerk across the large dining room. "You can't be serious," she said.

"I don't want your people to stink around me. I don't trust in humans who travel and hunt in groups."

She scoffed. "I told you why we had to move. The vampires are approaching. We have lost so many good men and good women. It was a miracle we're able to get the kids out in time."

Human hunters are rare, but one of them betrayed them. For food and money, he gave them all the information the vampires needed to attack them. Her father and brother were not ready at that time.

This bloody battle will always be with her. It took them a few weeks to stumble across this town. There are not many local people, and they have been sticking to the forest, waiting for the opportunity to slowly join the community, but this man named Lucas West rejected themi.

His scent covered the town, the forest, and the surrounding area. No sign of any other wolves, just him. Her father and brother had come and been refused residence. Now Kyla is standing in his large house, which is more of a palace, trying to reason with him.

Her family and people, they are all tired. Fatigue can mean bad news for the human body. If it's their turn to get too tired, the vampires will come and take over completely and they're at the mercy of their enemies until they're all dead.

"Do I look like I care?" He poked out a piece of steak and stuffed it into his mouth, keeping his eyes on her.

She held up her hands in surrender. "Sorry for wasting your time. We'll be leaving tomorrow morning. The children are not physically fit for more journey." Kyla didn't know what she had to do to get them moving. She ran her fingers through her hair and turned to leave.

"Are you not going to give me anything?" Lucas asked.

Kyla stopped and looked at him. "E-excuse me?"

"You are the daughter of the chief hunter, am I right?"

"Yes."

"Do you think you can't offer me some peace offerings? Or convince me to let you and those squatters stay?"

"We are not squatters!" Anger rushed up her spine. The need to protect her people is strong, but she also knows that if she fights this man, there is no way she can win.

She is strong, but not yet at his level. He smelled an Alpha. It came out of him in wave after wave, and the smell was so strong that it almost swallowed everything in him. "What do you want? Money?"

"I don't need money."

"Is someone coming to clear your land? We can do it for you."

"No."

This moment gets even more confusing for Kyla. "If you didn't need someone to clear your land or your house, what would you want?"

"I want someone to play with."

This made her frown."E-excuse me?"

He was a grown man, and she very much doubted that he meant playmates.

Lucas sat back down. His gaze swept across her body and then returned to her face.

She knew that as a human being, her blood was rare. Female humans in this era are mostly slender. Kyla had always been a chubby woman with a curvaceous figure. She was bigger when she was a toddler and put on even more weight as a teenager.

After the transformation, she retained all her curves and was one of the curvy women in the group. Her mother was also a curvaceous woman, and Kyla's father doted on her.

Kyla hopes to find her love for herself. She has yet to find a protector. No one in the family made claims of their own and certainly didn't have a strong sense of mating with anyone.

"You know what I mean,"

he said.

"Then be blunt."

"I want someone to play with, um, someone to fuck." His words echoed in the huge hall.

Kyla has been very nervous. "Is this straightforward enough for you? Are you joking?"

"I don't make fun of sex."

She looked over his shoulder. "Do you want to choose women among my people?" For their safety, it is impossible for her to ask anyone to sleep with this man.

"It's not possible."

"Certainly not."

"I want you."

"E-excuse me?"

"You heard it. I want you, no one else," he laughed. "Kyla, be my toy, my plaything, and you and those low-rank ones can stay here forever."

She glared at him. "Don't call them the low ranks."

He shrugged. She couldn't believe she heard this. He's too crazy. He wanted her to be his-toy, and in return, her family and her people would be safe.

"What does it mean? Do I have to go to you every time you call?" she asked.

Lucas sighed. "No, that means your family and hunters will stay here, and so will you. You will not return to your family. You will stay here with me. You will be mine for as long as I see fit."

"When you get bored with me?"

"Depending on how much you have served me, you and your family may remain on my land."

She hates this.

"What if I say no?"

"You go away with your people."

"You don't give me any choice here."

Lucas smiled. "Yes. You don't have any choice. Do you think I should let you stay here out of kindness?"

"Yes. Maybe."

"Our world doesn't work that way."

"Don't you have anyone to protect? Don't you understand the family bond?"

"I know being with a group or pack is fucking vicious," Lucas growled with every word. He no longer looked calm and collected. Now he looks ready to kill. "Because you have set foot on my land, I have the right to kill you all." His every word growled, and she felt his anger.

This man is powerful. He clearly showed alpha tendencies, and Kyla fell to her knees.

"Please. I beg you," she said.

"You beg all you want, Kyla, but that's my only condition. For your people to stay, you'll belong to me."

"Do I have time to-think?" she asked.

He snorted. Your family has a price."

"I should have known."

Her body to save her family!

"You ask me to give my body for my family and people, but I don't- I can't even tell them?"

"Do you think they will allow you to give yourself to me," he asked. "Is your family selfish enough?"

"No," she said without hesitation.

"So, they won't let you. They will move from here to there with danger after them because of their feelings for you, risking death and chaos. Hmmm." He giggled. "And do you need to think about it?"

She hated this man so much. He is cold. Such a heartless and cruel man. Hatred consumed her. Her family and people are her world. At twenty-five, she dedicated every waking moment to human hunters and their families. Even before she turns around, she's there to help, direct as best she can. She wrapped her arms around her waist, looking at the coldness around her. His home is big, but uninhabited, not really.

This man, this lonely alpha, was alone. He has a story for sure. She didn't know what it was, but she had a feeling deep inside that there must be a heart beating in his chest, even if it was filled with ultimatums.

"I have some-conditions," she said.

"Do you think you are qualified to tell me what you want?"

"Uhm-Yes."

"As long as you can entertain me. Go on."

"You can't hurt me. You cannot cut me nor break my bones."

He wrinkled his nose. "You misunderstood me, I want someone to fuck, not to break or hurt. If I wanted to hurt something or someone. I'd rather play a sandbag, or go get my monster pets to annoy. I won't hurt you, but I'll make you beg for more."

He left the table and walked towards her. Kyla straightened her back and stared at him as he advanced. The closer he got, the stronger her breath became. He didn't touch her, and she turned to look at him.

Lucas was much taller than her, over six feet tall. He reached out and stroked a lock of her silver hair, tucking it behind her ear. He did it without even touching her. Heat flooded her body. Her reaction annoyed her. How dare she find anything attractive about this man? She would have wanted to belong to him, but otherwise, she would never want him or desire him. He'll have her body, but nothing more.

"Do you think I can't feel your reaction to me? Your pussy is too wet for me right now and I have to say, Kyla, you want me to taste you."

He didn't touch her. A few seconds passed. Minute. She hoped he hadn't canceled his offer. He was so close that one couldn't help but want to touch him. What is wrong with her body? She has never been with a man. Never even longed for sex or touch. During a full moon, when she runs, she will see couples congregate.

In her father's group, there was no hidden love. Every member accepts it. Seeing couples together made her long for a partner of her own. Finding her lover is not as easy as the book claims. Human to human, human to wolf?

"I accept your terms, Kyla. You will not be harmed in any way."

"Then I accept your suggestion. Me and my body in exchange for my family and people being able to stay here safely."

She had just handed over her fate to a monster.

***

After Kyla complied with his request, he sent for his second hand, Carlo, to escort her to her new room. He needed her to get out of the way before he pressed her against the table and possessed her like an animal. Her scent is intoxicating. His slobber drools, his cock hard as a rock from her lingering smell. His wolf growled the moment he saw her at the edge of the forest. For the first time in his life, a woman drives him into action. He wants to take her. Her people adore her.

For two days he watched them, but no one saw him. No sense of another alpha or vampire lurking. What kind of leader doesn't see the danger? Hunters are not powerful, they are still human. They're all-weak. As far as he could tell, they had been traveling for days to escape from vampires. Most people don't take them easily into their lives, and neither did he.

He hasn't had anything to do with humans, wolves or vampires for over twenty years. After being driven out by one pack and hunted by another, he vowed never to let anyone come near him. Now he has a whole family of hunters, and there are humans on his land, as well as people hunted by vampires and wolves. Not a good combination. When it came to Kyla, her curves, her smile, he could only stay in the shadows and watch her. Her bag is drawn to her. Whenever there is a problem, she is the first person they go to.

The love they both felt, he felt too. They'd do anything for her, which is why he can't let her go back to her family, and it's up to Carlo to send word to the group.

He remained in the dining room, awaiting the necessary confrontation. His penis stiffened. The desire to fuck was strong, but he waited.

Many people thought he was a heartless monster, but in fact, life has turned him into that. It was easier for Lucas to live alone in his mansion than to risk having people close by.

He rubbed his temples and sight Kyla smiling at one of the kids. The little boy ran to Kyla crying. He tripped and fell and tore his jeans. Kyla used some medical supplies to relieve the boy's pain, then hugged him tightly and picked him up to dance. From tears to laughs, he was mesmerized. The little boy clung to Kyla's neck like a lifeline, and she didn't seem to mind,

For the rest of the day, she'll be holding him, feeding him, and helping others. What kind of woman is Kyla? The kind of person who would dedicate herself to making a home for his family and people.

The door of his house flung open. Her older brother finally came. "Where is she? Kyla! Kyla!" Lucas stood up and walked to the door to see the man himself. He was tall, with long brown hair tied at the nape of his neck. Brown eyes turned to him with a snarl.

"What kind of monster are you?"

"The kind that allows you and your pets to stay here."

"Not out of the kindness of your heart. I want my sister. We will not remain on your land. Kayla!"

her brother glared at him. "What did you do to my sister?"

Lucas is ready for battle. There was no way this man could take Kyla away from him. He followed her to his home after he invaded their people and asked them to leave. She hesitated outside his house, just hunched her shoulders, and waited for his arrival.

Kyla's brother is here to take her away!

He can't let him!

He ran to the kitchen, where to change of clothes and a cold dinner were already waiting for him. Does she know he's been following her?

"I'm right here," Kyla said, appearing at the top of the stairs. She was still wearing the dirty clothes she had when she came in. She stood on the top of the stairs, holding on to the railing, and walked down slowly.

That's when he noticed that she was leaning slightly to one side. Lucas sniffed the air, and there it was. The young human female was in pain, but she refused to show it.

Anger and worry overwhelmed him. He's too busy focusing on his need for her to even take the time to see if she's hurting. He thought she was fine.

"Kyla, you don't have to do this. None of us want this. You have to go back to our family to our people and we'll be gone from here," her brother said.

"Where are you going? You, Father, and I both know this is our best chance. We have nowhere to go, and the full moon is coming in a few days. You have to- stay. We're burnout, there's not enough time to search for a good place to be when we're trying to escape from more powerful enemies. Please, big brother."

"No! We will take risks, father will say the same. None of us want you to get this by yourself. We can do it. All we have to do is keep going."

"No," Kyla said. She lowered to their level, took her brother's hands, and squeeze them. "You know it's the right thing to do."

"R-right thing."

"Children who have lost their parents, they don't need us to play hooligans on them. They need stability."

"But I can't ask you to do this for us," her brother said.

"Bro, no one can tell me or ask me to do anything I don't want to do. I will do anything for my family, for our people. Father will agree with me for sure." She looked back at him. "He has promised not to throw us out. You can make a living here together with our people. We all can. Please. Don't make this any harder. I want to do this for us."

"You are a good person, Kyla. You know we won't ask you this."

She smiled. "I know, but that's why I have to." She let go of his hand and put her arms around him.

Lucas watched her brother hug the nape of her neck. He doesn't like the love between them. "I have never seen such an open show of affection. Go away now," Lucas said. "And consider you lucky that I didn't take your encroachment on my property as an insult."

Kyla took a step back. Lucas put his hands on her shoulders and pulled her into his arms. To anyone, it might seem like he's holding her captive, but the truth is he's just holding her straight. She's hurt!

Her brother took one last look at her before turning away.

"Fucking coward. You are in pain."

"This is nothing."

***

A few seconds later, he held her in his arms and took her to his bedroom.

Kicking the door shut, he made a beeline for his suite and set her down on the counter near the sink.

"What are you doing?"

"Taking care of you." He grabbed the medical supplies from the cabinet under the sink and walked over to her. He reached for her shirt and she slapped his hand away.

"Do not touch me."

"You are in pain. Untreated wounds can still cause infection and death to the damned hunter, and you're still a human Kyla. Don't be so fucking stubborn. Do you think you can escape all this by dying? You die here and your people will be driven out."

She lifted the blouse so that it rested under her breasts. Her abdomen was bruised and she had several cuts on her body. He also grabbed the right side of the seam, which looked clean but painful.

"Damn it, Kyla."

"I got-scratched and- Well. It's nothing,"

"B-but it hurts, right." He gritted his teeth, furious that wolves and vampires hunted them down.

"Why don't you tell your family?" he asks.

"They are all running. I am helping a child. They don't need to know."

"But if you die from an infection or rabies, they both blame themselves. Stupid woman."

"Just because you don't understand what love and compassion are. I am doing my best for my family."

"See what it gets you," he said.

"You don't even know me. You have no right to talk about my decision."

He laughed. "It's good to know your tongue is still sharp to say such words to me."

"B-be careful. I bite."

"I can not wait for that bite!"

***

5 days later. Kyla didn't know what she expected from this- man, but she was sure he wasn't patient. He'd given her an ultimatum, and she'd thought she'd be his toy from that night on. Lucas did not make sexual contact with her. He spent a lot of time, cleaning her wounds, re-sewing her side, and taking great care. The man pierced her skin with a needle and sewed her up, but the touch was very gentle. He gave her a mild pain reliever. The pain wasn't that bad.

Getting scratched by longer and more deadly nails is even worse. Seeing the dead body of a loved one is even more terrifying.

Lucas regularly changes her bandages and takes care of her. His sweetness was not what she expected, which made her a little uneasy.

Where's that bastard monster that asked to make a demand?

On the fifth night, she sat down to dinner and watched him work on his laptop. Every night, he eats dinner while working. His focus is entirely on the device in front of him.

"What do you do?" she asked.

He looked up and she pointed at his screen. "Stocks and shares. I toy with the black and shady market."

"Does this work?"

"Look around you"

"Aren't you worried about bad investments?"

"I've never been a victim of a bad investment." He slammed the laptop lid shut. "What are you doing with your life now?"

"I'm-I take care of the children. I'm like a nanny or a janitor."

"Does that satisfy you?"

"Yes." She looked down at her food, her appetite waning under his scrutiny. "There's nothing wrong with taking care of people for a living."

"I didn't say yes, but there wasn't much money in it."

"Maybe not, but not everything is about money."

"Honey, everything it's all about money. The more you have, the easier your life is in this generation. Let's face it, if your people are already stained with gold, you don't need to bargain with your life."

"Because a man who has everything will want more gold."

"You don't change your bargaining chips."

"Oh yes, what makes you so sure?"
