Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 01

By: robcub32



Parker Montgomery put his contact lenses in and took one last look in the mirror. He blinked twice, letting the plastic lenses settle over his green eyes. He ran his hand through his hair. The short and spiky dark blond hair was as good as it was gonna get. At least the messy style hid the stupid cowlick on the crown of his head.

He was dressed simply in a pair of blue jeans and a fitted white cotton button-down shirt. He wore a blue and green friendship bracelet on his left wrist, given to him by his best friend. He pushed his feet into a pair of black leather shoes, not stopping to bend and untie them, just wiggling his heels until they slid in.

It was the first day of school. He couldn't believe that it was his last year of high school. He was a little bit nervous, but at the same time, he was excited. Hopefully this would be a year to remember.

Parker shut his bedroom door and bounced down the stairs. "Mom? Dad?" he called out.

He listened for a moment. Not a peep. He let out a sigh. Nothing new there. His dad was a financial big wig at some investment company whose global headquarters was downtown in the city. His mom was a lawyer. Both of them were more concerned with their careers than their son.

Parker looked up at the clock on the kitchen wall and then quickly chugged down a glass of chocolate milk. He was going to be late if he didn't get a move on. He pulled on a hoodie and grabbed his phone and backpack and raced out the front door. He pulled the blue and white Forest View High School 'Timberwolves' lanyard holding his keys and student ID from his pocket and locked the door behind him.

Shell was waiting next door in the driveway.

Michelle Wilson was Parker's best friend since junior high school, when her family moved in next door. Shell's parents were both successful business executives and the two kids often hung out together in the evenings and on the weekends. Well, when Shell was in between boyfriends.

Shell was wearing her blue and white FVHS cheerleading uniform. Her hair was permed straight and slicked back into a tight ponytail. She looked way cute today, with her flawless, mocha skin. Her uniform accentuated her curvy shape, complete with perky breasts and a tight butt.

Though Shell and Parker were the same age, she always acted like a big sister towards her shy friend. Parker had always been grateful to Shell for helping to break him out of his nerd shell. She was truly a good friend.

"Hey, Parker," she said with a grin. "Ready for the first day of school?"

"Yup."

They got into Shell's Honda and she took off, heading towards the high school.

"Hey, you should come to cheerleading practice after school," Shell said after she turned down the radio.

Parker looked at her like she had grown a second head. "Are you insane? I am not going to be a cheerleader. I'd really like to minimize the ass-kickings this year."

"We already had tryouts at camp last week," she said with an eye-roll. "And besides we don't have boy cheerleaders. We have mascot auditions today."

"Okay, now I know you're insane. I'm not going to make an ass of myself in a ridiculous 'Tacky the Timberwolf' costume."

"Okay, first of all, you know damn well it's 'Timo the Timberwolf'. Look at it like this, Parker. It's our last year of high school. This is your chance to be somebody. Get invited to the good parties. Have fun. Go on dates."

Parker shrugged. "I don't care about that stuff," he lied -- to himself and to Shell.

"I'm gonna keep it real, boo. You're my mission. I'm gonna get you out there. Get you a man. I'm gonna get you laid."

"Oh, yes. The best way to get myself a man is to wear that stupid costume. I don't know why I ever came out to you."

Parker decided not to mention the fact that he had given another guy a handjob the summer before eleventh grade. He had made the other guy come, so that counted as sex, right? If the other guy wasn't such a bastard, he might have told her what he did. No, if he told her, she'd demand all of the details and Parker wasn't about to go there.

"Boo, I hate to break it to you, but I knew way before you told me. You're a little zesty."

"Remind me again why I like you?" Parker pouted.

"You know you love me, boo. Look. You have to do this. You're a good dancer. I mean, how many years did you do gymnastics?"

"Up until tenth grade. When I got my ass kicked almost every week."

Shell shook her head. "You shouldn't have let those assholes win. You were good. Anyways, you're doing this. You just have to come and show off your dance moves and do some flips. They'll love you. Don't we have fun dancing in your room?"

"Yeah, but that's just fooling around. Not in front of other people!"

"Just pretend you're pumping some Madonna in your room by yourself. 'Don't just stand there, let's get to it...'"

Parker rolled his eyes and sunk down into the seat. "I hate you," he mumbled.

A smile spread across Shell's face as she said in a sing-songy voice, "You'll get to change in the locker room with the football players..."

***

Shell pulled into the school's student parking lot and parked the car. She and Parker grabbed their bags and weaved through the parking lot towards the school's main entrance. As they walked across the lot, Parker drew in a deep breath.

Colton Butler walked past, cutting across the grass, flanked by his best friends, Trey Williams and Jed Stone. All three of them had freshly shaved heads, looking totally bad-ass. They strutted across the lawn like they owned it. And for all intents and purposes, they did.

Colton was a total stud, one of most popular guys in the school, if not the most popular. He transferred in from out of state last year and quickly became the top dog at the school. He was smoking hot. He had dark brown eyes and a sexy black goatee and mustache. He was always sporting a five-o'clock shadow. The last time Parker saw him, he had a head of thick, black hair. The shaved head suited him, though. It made him look rough and rugged. He had an arrogant, dominant attitude that Parker thought was so sexy. Everything about him screamed MAN, and that made him very appealing -- not only to Parker, but the entire student body. The girls wanted to fuck him. And all the guys wanted to be him. Well, Parker was in the camp with the girls on this one.

The weird thing about that was that Parker couldn't recall ever seeing him date anyone. Though it sure seemed like every girl in the school threw themselves at him. That was fine with Parker. It fueled the boy's fantasies that he was gay and that he was saving himself just for Parker. The reality was that Colton didn't even know that Parker existed.

Colton's best friend was Trey, a tall and muscular black guy. Trey was insanely handsome and excelled at all sports. He was captain of the basketball team and the quarterback of the football team. He led the football team to regionals and state the past three years. Girls threw themselves at Trey, literally. The rumor was that he'd been through all of the cheerleaders and was working his way through the rest of the senior class. Of course that was an exaggeration, but not by much.

Rounding out the power trio was Jed. He was big and brawny, a total redneck, built like a power lifter. He was a defensive linebacker on the football team. He had a long, shaggy goatee of reddish-brown hair and sported a couple days worth of beard stubble. It would probably take two weeks for Parker to grow that much stubble and he sure as hell would never be able to sport any kind of beard. It wasn't a secret that Jed was gay, though no one talked about it for fear of getting their ass kicked. The rumor, according to Shell, was that Jed had turned out quite a few supposedly straight jocks.

After Parker was outed last year, he worked up the nerve to try to talk to Jed. Being the only other out gay guy at their school, he thought maybe they could be friends. The big jock looked at him wide-eyed like he was some kind of leper and practically ran the other way. That sure was a self-esteem booster.

"Damn," Shell whispered. "Trey can get it."

"It should be a crime to be that hot," Parker whispered back but referring to Colton. "What happened to their hair?"

"The whole team shaved their heads at football camp last week."

"Huh. He's bigger, too," Parker noticed.

Colton had to have grown at least two inches taller over the summer, making him well above six feet tall. He also filled out a little more. His biceps were bigger and his chest muscles were bigger, too. Parker's eyes drifted down to the bulging crotch of the big jock's jeans.

As if he sensed he was being watched, Colton's eyes shifted and locked onto Parker. Just like every time Colton happened to look his way, Parker felt an electric jolt go right to his core. His knees went weak and his salivary glands began working overtime. He swallowed down the excess saliva as he struggled to put one foot in front of the other.

Colton's gaze burned into him and Parker automatically lowered his eyes. He bit his lip in an attempt to hold in a moan. How embarrassing to be caught staring. Again.

But Parker couldn't help it. Something about Colton drew the smaller man to him. His crush on the other boy had grown deeper and deeper over the past year. He really needed to get a grip. What started as a crush was bordering on becoming a full-on stalker obsession.

Once the three guys passed, Parker was able to finally let out a breath and breathe normally.

He lifted his eyes and watched Colton's retreating back. His eyes drifted down to that perfect, muscular bubble butt. If he thought the summer away would have cooled off his fantasies of the big stud, he was wrong. God, if Colton knew how many times Parker had beat off thinking about him, he'd kick his pervy little ass until nothing but pulp was left.

He was snapped out of his fantasies when the head cheerleader, Kim Reynolds, walked up to Colton and stepped in his path.

"Hi, Colton," she said sweetly. She thrust her chest forward, not so subtly, showing off her ample bosom.

"Hey," Colton said dismissively as he walked past her.

Parker watched with extreme satisfaction as her face turned red and she turned on her heels and stormed in the opposite direction. The little witch wasn't used to being ignored. Parker loved every second of it.

Shell nudged Parker's shoulder with her own. "You are such a hateful bitch," she whispered.

Parker's huge ass grin turned into outright laughs.

***

After school, Parker headed to the locker room to get changed into his gym clothes. He almost backed out twice, but he did promise Shell that he'd show up.

Only two other guys auditioned for mascot.

Parker had to admit to himself that his gymnastics background really helped him. He was able to do cartwheels, handstands and flips. After that, they had to do a simple choreographed dance routine, following one of the cheerleaders.

Parker was just barely voted in. The cheerleaders seemed to be split. There was Shell's group, who all enthusiastically voted for him. That wench Kim, the head cheerleader, seemed to have something against him right from the start. She gave him a nasty glare from his first step into the gym.

Of course, Parker knew exactly why she didn't like him.

The rumors started last year, at the beginning of his junior year, that he was gay. Parker knew exactly who started it. But he didn't deny it. Most people ignored him and left him alone. Unfortunately, not everyone in the school was tolerant of people who they thought were different.

Kim wanted to go for Donnie, the class clown. He wasn't as athletic as Parker -- not even close. But he was funny. His take on Timo would have been more along the lines of Goofy the dog.

But in the end, Parker won the vote and became the new school mascot. He was quite proud of himself. Of course, once they tossed the bag containing the costume at him and he looked down at the snarling wolf head, his smile evaporated. Had he actually volunteered to run around in a furry grey wolf costume?

***

Once cheer practice was over, Shell walked with Parker towards the locker rooms.

"I'll meet you outside the side door," she said, then jogged past into the girl's locker room.

Parker rinsed off in the shower, then got changed into his street clothes. He was grateful that he didn't have to wear the wolf uniform during practice. He grabbed his gym bag and the wolf uniform and headed out.

As he made his way to the locker room entrance, the football team started pouring in from the practice field.

Seth Forrest purposely knocked him hard with his padded shoulder. "Watch where you're going, fag."

Parker pressed himself against the wall, getting out of the way. He tried to avoid Seth whenever possible. The big, muscular jock made his life hell. He acted tough and macho, Parker knew from first hand experience that it was all a front.

Parker snickered to himself at his bad pun.

Not paying attention to where he was going, he turned the corner and nearly ran straight into Colton.

"Sorry," Parker mumbled, his eyes instantly dropping to Colton's feet.

"You're all good, Parker," Colton said, leaning slightly towards Parker's ear. His voice was deep, resonating in his chest and his breath was warm as it floated past Parker's skin.

As Parker stepped out of the locker room, the realization hit him like a ton of bricks. Colton had called him by name.

Colton Butler knew who he was.

He closed his eyes and savored the moment.

"What's got you all grinnin'?" Shell asked.

Parker looked up at his friend. "Huh? Oh, nothing."

"See something good in the locker room?"

"Of course not," he said defensively. "Don't be nasty." He looked around, making sure no one heard. He didn't need to be gay bashed by some jocks who thought he was checking them out.

"Well, something put a happy face on you."

"It's nothing," he said as they walked to Shell's car.

As Shell turned out of the parking lot, she turned down the volume on the stereo. "Hey, what do you want to do for your birthday?" she asked. "Besides Colton Butler."

Parker rolled his eyes and thought for a moment. "I don't know. It doesn't matter."

"Okay. Well, how 'bout I throw you a little party?"

"Just a little party, right?"

"Yeah, sure."

The grin on Shell's face was his first clue that he was in trouble.

"Speaking of Colton," Shell said. The look on her face told Parker that she had gossip. "Did you hear about what happened at football camp?"

"No. What?"

"Adam was apparently about to faint from heat stroke. While everyone stood around in shock, Colton took charge. He got him cooled down by the time the paramedics arrived. They said he saved Adam's life."

"Wow."

Even though he had no right to, Parker felt a sense of pride at hearing about Colton's feats. And he found himself wanting him just a little bit more.

***

That night at dinner, Parker was eager to share his good news with his parents.

"Guess what happened today at school."

"What, honey?" his mother asked.

While Kate Montgomery looked up across the table at her son, Barney Montgomery's face was buried in his BlackBerry reading his never-ending stream of emails.

When Parker realized that his father wasn't going to look up, he continued. "I tried out for the mascot auditions today. I won the vote. I'm the new Timo the Timberwolf."

"Good for you, Parker. Isn't that right, Barn?"

Barney looked up from his BlackBerry for a split second. "Hm? Uh-huh." Before the grunt was out of his mouth, he was already looking back down at the screen, his thumbs tapping away at the keys.

"I'll be with the cheerleaders at every game. I have to go to the away games, too. Maybe you guys could come and see one of the home games?"

A cell phone started to ring. "Clear the table and take care of the dishes," Kate told Parker as she pulled out her phone and got up from the table and walked away.

Barney got up and walked out of the room, mumbling and cursing to himself as he typed away at his phone.

Parker sighed and finished up his dinner alone, though he didn't have much of an appetite anymore.

He cleared the dishes, putting them into the dishwasher. He tossed the last bits of food into the garbage, which was full. Deciding to go ahead and take care of it before his mom or dad yelled, he pulled the bag out of the garbage can and tied off the top. He dragged it outside and dumped it into the big plastic bin just outside the back door.

The night had cooled down some and there was a light breeze. Parker closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. It was so quiet and peaceful outside. He loved that the suburban subdivision they lived in was set against a forest.

Parker walked over to the edge of the kidney-shaped in-ground swimming pool. He looked at the moon's reflection in the still water, then dipped his toe into the pool and watched the ripples distort the reflection.

He stared up into the sky, wishing that his life could be different.

There had to be more out there than this pitiful existence. It would be nice to matter, to be important, to someone somewhere.

***

When the back door opened, the black wolf dropped to his belly. Though he was hidden at the tree line, on the other side of the black iron rail fence that surrounded the back yard, he didn't want to take any chances.

A sweet scent wafted through the clear, night air. That scent was forever blazed into his memory from the very first time he smelled it. It smelled like heaven. It smelled like his.

He watched the boy toss the foul garbage into the trash bin. He moved over to the swimming pool, then stopped to stare up at the sky longingly.

Soon, the boy would be his. He was tired of watching.

The wolf would no longer be denied what was his. He would no longer be denied his mate.

Very soon...

***

The next day at school sucked ass.

Parker totally regretted taking phys ed. His reasoning was that it'd help him keep in shape and it would be an 'easy A'. He didn't factor jock abuse into his reasoning.

"Keep your eyes to yourself, faggot," Seth muttered as he walked by, knocking Parker with his shoulder.

Parker rolled his eyes and closed his locker. As if he was interested in Seth Forrest. "Asshole," he mumbled under his breath.

Seth stopped and turned back around. "You got something to say?"

"No."

"I didn't think so. Don't you got some cocks to stroke or something? Get the fuck outta here."

"You would know," Parker mumbled.

Seth froze in his tracks and made a grunt sound. A very pissed off grunt sound.

Parker quickly walked past Seth. He knew that statement would get him into trouble, but he didn't care. Seth was an asshole.

When Coach Carswell, gym teacher and head football coach, announced they'd be playing dodgeball, Parker groaned along with half of the class. The bigger guys were ruthless at dodgeball and it would quickly degrade into a pain-fest for everybody else. As Coach went over the rules they all knew and hated, Parker took the time to check out Colton like he always did, taking extra care not to get caught staring.

Damn, he looked good in that tanktop and those shorts. He had very well-defined biceps and pec muscles. The tank showed off his ripped hairy chest in the nicest way.

When Coach blew the whistle to start the game, Parker had to finally peel his eyes away from Colton so he could keep from getting creamed.

"Hey, Parker."

Parker turned towards Seth, who was holding one of the damned red balls, bouncing it between his hands. The smile on his face could only be described as evil.

Shit.

Seth looked over at his buddy, TJ, and grinned. "Smear the queer."

TJ threw the ball using every one of his beefy muscles and Parker jumped out of the way in the nick of time as the ball went whizzing past his head. Parker looked up to get his bearings, but it was too late. Seth threw his ball and it slapped the side of Parker's head hard enough to knock him backwards. He slammed onto his back hard enough to knock the wind from his lungs.


Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 01



Parker bit his lip to keep from crying out in pain as he grabbed at his eye and tried to pull air into his lungs. With his good eye, he saw a pair of muscular, hairy legs leap in front of him. He looked up, and oh god, he was faced with Colton's perfect ass. The big teen grabbed the ball laying at Parker's feet and with a loud roar, he launched the ball. It whistled as it soared through the air, slamming into Seth's face. Hard. The slap echoed throughout the gym as Seth clutched his nose and went down with a whimpering cry.

Colton quickly turned and pulled Parker up off the ground. "Are you okay?" he asked.

Parker still had his right eye covered as he stared at Colton in complete shock. He pulled his hand away and blinked several times. The side of his face throbbed with the pain of the ball's impact. His vision was blurry out of his right eye and he felt an uncomfortable pressure on top of his eyeball. "I think my contact shifted. But I'm okay."

Parker realized that Jed and Trey had surrounded him, facing out and away from him and Colton. The three huge jocks had boxed him in, keeping him safe from any further hits.

Coach blew his whistle. "Parker Montgomery! You're out. Get off the court."

Parker cupped his hand back over his eye in case his contact lens decided to pop out. He stepped back from Colton, turned and ran off the floor and went into the locker room to fix it.

Parker looked in the mirror and used his finger to lift his eye lid while another maneuvered the lens back into place. He blinked a few times to settle and re-wet the lens. He turned his head to the side to examine the source of the throbbing on his face. The side of his face had a large red mark where the ball had smacked him, but otherwise he was unhurt. Parker splashed some cold water onto his face to reduce some of the stinging, then left the locker room.

While he returned to the gym, he couldn't help but think about Colton. It was like he had jumped in to not only protect him, but to avenge him. Not only that, but his best friends had moved in like they were guarding him. What the hell was up with that? He didn't think the guy knew him from Adam, but maybe he was wrong.

Oh god, what if Colton liked him?!

Yeah, right. You wish. He was just stopping a bully, because that's the kind of guy he is.

Parker felt someone move behind him and he tensed.

"You say anything to anyone about you know what, and I'll kill you."

The whispered words from behind him sent a chill down his spine, making Parker shudder.

He let his eyes flick to the side for just a second as he watched Seth slip from behind him and walk towards his friends. TJ had his muscular arms folded across his chest as he sneered at Parker.

Stupid meat-head.

Parker swallowed nervously and looked back to the floor. He took the opportunity to watch Colton in his element. The muscular teen easily cleaned up the court, ending up the victor when he deflected Trey's ball with one of his own, before hitting him out. 

As he strutted off the court, it was like he barely broke a sweat playing the game. Parker watched Colton shoot Seth a smug grin. Seth's face turned red and he balled his fists. He was pissed.

Parker couldn't help but feel some satisfaction. Seth was a bully and an asshole. He deserved to be knocked down a peg or two. He used to be the big man on campus. The big muscle-bound jock ran the school and made everyone's lives miserable. That was before Colton transferred in last year. Parker didn't witness it, but he had heard from others that there was a huge fight and Colton kicked Seth's ass, knocking Seth down a rung on the popularity ladder.

After the fastest shower in history, Parker kept his eyes downcast in the locker room, not wanting to draw any unnecessary attention to himself. He quickly pulled off his towel and pulled up his boxer briefs and started to get dressed.

When he heard Colton's loud laughter, he couldn't help but look up. He was walking with Trey, coming out of the showers. He had his towel rolled around his neck, holding each end in his hands. He didn't care that his body was on display. In fact, he seemed to be showing it off, unintentional or not. But god almighty, if Parker looked like that, he'd walk around naked, too.

Colton had stopped and leaned against the wall while Trey animatedly told him a story. Parker didn't hear a single word Trey said, he was too focused on Colton.

Colton had curly black hair all over his square pecs. The hair formed a wide T-shape, trailing down to his belly button, where it flared out into the ridges of his six -- no, eight -- pack ab muscles. From there, it led down to his groin. A huge uncircumcised penis hung from an overgrown bush of hair. Even flaccid, it was a most impressive side of beef. Parker didn't need to look around the room to know that Colton had the biggest dick in the school.

Of course he did. Colton was the biggest and best at everything. He was only eighteen years old, but he had the body of a fully grown man. A powerful, muscular man.

On Colton's right bicep, he had a large tattoo, a large tribal pattern that formed a circle. As Parker stared at the ink, he noticed a pattern inside the circle. It was the shape of a wolf's head in profile. Their school mascot was a Timberwolf, but Colton's tattoo didn't really look like the Timberwolves logo. It was something else.

When he looked up at Colton's face, he found that the man was staring back at him. His dark brown eyes pierced straight into Parker's soul. It was like he could see every perverted thought in Parker's head.

Parker lowered his eyes and dropped his chin to his chest, where his heart was trying to pound itself through his breast bone. He grabbed his things from his locker and fled.

***

A week later was game day, the first home game of the season.

After Parker got dressed in his mascot uniform, he walked out of the locker room with the wolf head in his hands and joined the gathered cheerleaders. Everyone's energy was nervous, but excited at the same time.

"Let's go," Kim called out. She turned back to Parker. "Oh, and Parker? Don't fuck it up."

Parker turned to Shell and rolled his eyes. "Or what?" he whispered. "She'll make me lip sync for my life?"

Shell laughed out loud. "Boy, you are stupid."

"Let's do this," Parker said with a grin. He took a deep breath and put the wolf head on.

'Timo the Timberwolf' ran onto the field, jumping and pumping his fist, bringing the crowd to their feet.

***

As soon as Parker rounded the corner into the locker room, he pulled the wolf head off. They had just won the first game of the season. Parker was so freaking hot and so damned exhausted, he wasn't sure if he would make it through the rest of the season.

"Shit," he mumbled. "Oh my god." He pulled off his furry gloves and wiped the sweat off his forehead and ran a hand through his soaked hair.

"Good job, Parker." Jed slapped Parker on the back as he passed him into the locker room, making the smaller boy stumble.

"Thanks," Parker called after him. Jed pulled his helmet off and flashed Parker a quick smile. Jed looked good with his new mohawk. Before the game, the entire team shaved the stubble on their heads into mohawks. It made them even more intimidating than they already were.

Parker made his way to his locker in the back corner. He tossed the furry wolf-paw shaped gloves into his bag and sat down on the bench with the head. He took his time getting undressed. He tugged the pawed feet off and then pulled the over-sized blue and white football jersey off the costume and over his head. Once the jersey was off, he could get to the zipper that ran down the front. He unzipped and let the over-sized furry suit fall to the floor. He folded it up and set it on the bench. The Timo Timberwolf suit was a bit large on his 5'6", 140 pound frame, but he had enough room to move easily. He picked up the jersey with "TIMO" and the number "00" across the back and folded it up neatly.

He had to admit to himself that the crowd did seem to like what he was doing. But then everyone was pumped because they wasted the other team 40 to 7. It was a heck of a way to start the season.

He wished his parents were able to make the game. He kept looking for them, but they didn't show up. Too busy, he assumed.

Parker slipped out of his sweat-soaked t-shirt and boxer briefs and grabbed a towel. He glanced around and was glad to see that the locker room was starting to empty out.

He stepped into the shower and as he turned on the faucets, Jed walked in and took one of the shower heads down the wall.

The jock mumbled, "hey, buddy," and seemed to go out of his way to not look at Parker.

Being the only two in the shower, Parker couldn't help but sneak a peek at the bigger man. The first thing Parker noticed was that Jed had a tattoo on his right bicep, the exact same one in the exact same spot as Colton. The second thing he noticed was that Jed was really hairy. Like furry beast hairy, covering his hard muscles. He was built like one of those power lifters he sometimes watched on ESPN's 'World's Strongest Man' when no one else was home. And thirdly, Jed was hung like a donkey.

Parker looked down at his body. Okay, so he wasn't anything to write home about, but he was in good shape. Gymnastics and swimming kept his body toned. He had defined chest muscles and a flat stomach. His dick looked a little on the smaller side when it was soft; he was a grower, so it was all good when it was hard. At least he hoped so.

It seemed natural that being the only other out gay guy at school, that Jed would maybe take an interest in him. It wasn't that Parker was really interested in dating Jed but still. It kind of stung his ego. Parker shrugged to himself.

Oh well.

Parker set about the task at hand and quickly washed the sweat off his body. Finishing up, he grabbed his towel and pulled it around his waist and held it closed with his fist. As he turned the corner, he smacked right into Colton.

A very naked Colton.

Colton stood there with his towel in his hand, hanging at his side, not even bothering to cover himself.

When Parker smacked into his chest, Colton's arm came around his waist. "Whoa. Careful, pup."

The heat of Colton's solid body was like a furnace and that heat went straight to Parker's groin. Parker drew in a sharp breath as his dick started to rise. He squirmed out of Colton's arm and raced to his locker. He opened the locker and leaned forward against the door, breathing in shallow pants. His dick was so hard it ached. He could still taste Colton's sweaty chest hair on his lips and feel the heat of his hand on his hip. He gripped the towel around his waist tightly and closed his eyes, willing for his dick to go down before anyone saw him.

A warm breath tickled the back of Parker's neck, causing his entire body to tense up. The hairs on his neck raised and his body started to tremble. Colton was so close, he could once again feel that intense heat rolling off his much bigger body.

"Don't run from me, Parker," Colton whispered in his ear, his voice husky and growly. "I'll always catch you. And when I catch you, I'm gonna punish that hot little ass of yours."

Parker let out a stifled moan as his knees buckled. He felt his dick pulsing underneath the towel. He clutched at his locker to steady himself as the intense climax racked his body.

Shame slammed into Parker as he realized that he had just come all over himself in the boy's locker room. He looked around and let out a sigh of relief to find that he was alone.

He grabbed his towel and wiped the floor, then shoved it into the bottom of his bag. He got dressed so fast he probably set a world's record. He grabbed his stuff and ran, wanting to get away from the scene of the crime.

He hadn't imagined it. It had happened. Colton's body was practically on top of him, he was standing so close. Colton had whispered dirty things into his ear. And Colton apparently had the power to make him come without so much as a touch.

***

"You with me?"

"Huh?" Parker looked over at Shell.

She glanced over at him from behind the steering wheel. "Where'd you go?"

"Just thinking." About Colton.

"You did great tonight. I'm proud of you, boo."

"Thanks."

"When you did our dance routine with us at half-time, I thought people were gonna lose their shit."

Parker laughed. "It seemed like they liked it."

"Trust me, they loved it. You had the whole stadium on their feet. I don't know how you managed to shake your booty in that wolf costume, but you did. Boy, you were dropping it like it was hot." Shell laughed loudly as she remembered some of Parker's moves.

"Oh god, that's so embarrassing," Parker groaned as he sunk lower into the seat. "At least most of the people in the stands didn't know it was me in the costume."

"We were all talking about it in the locker room. Even that bitter old hag Kim Reynolds had to admit that you were good."

"Well, since she hates me, I guess that's something."

"Trust me, being the mascot is gonna get you laid."

Parker rolled his eyes. "If you say so."

"So, a group of us are going to the lake tonight to celebrate. You coming?"

"No, that's okay. I'm really kinda tired."

Not to mention, he was totally freaked out by what happened in the locker room.

Shell sighed. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm sure. Maybe next time."

***

The black wolf sat in the woods behind the house. He was restless again, just like every other night. He went for a run and ended up here. Just like every night.

He looked up at the dark window where his mate was now asleep. The sight of him in orgasm, the sharp smell of his semen, would forever be emblazoned in his memory.

Very soon he would have him.

Another couple of months. Then he could rightfully claim the boy as his. The rule was stupid anyway. Why should he have to wait? He wanted what he wanted and he wanted it now.

When the wolf's eyes started to droop, he gave one last look up at Parker's window, then turned and raced through the woods. He emerged several miles away in the backyard of his own house.

He scooped his clothes up from the back porch and went inside the house.

By the time he got cleaned up and crawled into bed, his cock was achingly hard.

Fuck, he needed Parker like he needed his next breath. He would wait until the time was right, even though the wait was killing him.

In the meantime, he would need to keep his distance, because if he got too close, he'd likely pick Parker up, throw him on the ground and fuck the ever-loving shit out of his hot little virgin ass.

He closed his eyes and remembered Parker's compact body, the way he felt against him, the way he smelled.

Colton gripped his heavy cock. He pumped his hand up and down, his loose foreskin making the movement smooth and fluid. He was so turned on, he wasn't going to last. Normally, he'd let his fantasies run wild and edge himself to make it last as long as he could. But after the events in the locker room, he just needed to come.

He pumped faster, letting the memory of Parker's scent play across his mind. He closed his eyes and imagined that it was Parker's hand on him. Or his mouth. Or, fuck, that sexy little ass.

He stroked faster, increasing the pressure of his fist. With a groan, he bucked his hips up into his fist and let loose, spurting ropey ribbons of hot come all over his chest and abs.

He brought his hand up to his mouth and swiped his tongue across his finger. He swallowed it down, tasting the salty, slightly bitter juice. Not too bad. He had never tasted another guy's load before, so he didn't have a comparison. His mind drifted back to Parker. God, he hoped that Parker liked the taste of his come... Because if Colton got his way, the boy was going to be swallowing a lot of it.

He laid there for a while, slowly recovering from his orgasm. But his cock was still rock hard. It wasn't satisfied with his hand anymore.

With a sigh, he rubbed the thick semen into his skin, then turned over and fell asleep. Erotic dreams of his boy filled the rest of his night.



Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 02



Colton sat in the back seat of the school bus staring a hole into the back of Parker's messy blond head. He wondered what it would be like to run his fingers through it, to grip it in his fists while he held him firmly and kissed him, hard and deep.

They had just won another away game, and everyone was pumped and the bus was rowdy, but it was just a buzz in Colton's consciousness. His attentions were elsewhere.

The sexy little mascot had his dick hard as a rock. The way his body moved in that wolf costume... He was clearly athletic and could dance, and there was a hint of sensuality in those movements at the same time.

Fuck, he wanted some of that!

He unconsciously licked his lips as he thought of walking up the aisle, pushing Parker onto the floor and fucking the ever-loving shit out of him. The thought made his cock jerk in his shorts.

Aware of a flash of movement, Colton refocused his eyes. Trey's hand waved in front of his face again.

Trey turned his head towards Parker, then back to Colton. "Why don't you just go get him?" he asked quietly.

Colton sighed and relaxed back in the seat. "You know why."

"Since when do you care about rules?"

"I wanna do this right. We have to both be over eighteen. I'm not gonna do anything that will fuck this up."

Colton looked back at Parker, who seemed to be playing a game on his phone.

"That old law was to keep old pervs from stealing teenage girls, claiming that they were mates. This isn't the same thing. Dude, you wait too long... You saw the way that guy from South was eyeing him up."

Colton nodded, his eyes still watching Parker. The corner of Colton's lip turned up and he growled low. Some fucking bench-warmer from the school they just massacred tried to talk to Parker in the parking lot before he got on the bus. Colton was on his way to rip the guy's limbs off when Trey called for Parker. The asshole wisely backed off and Parker obediently got on the bus.

"Besides," Trey added. "You can claim him as yours without fucking him."

Colton wanted to kick himself. He was so caught up in his out-of-control hormone surges and nightly fantasies that the thought never occurred to him that he could just date Parker.

"Thanks, man," Colton said.

"That's what I'm here for. To tell you when you're thinking with the wrong head."

Trey snickered and Colton couldn't help but laugh.

"Look at this," Jed interrupted. He held up his phone, showing a picture of someone's backside. The dude was wearing a black jockstrap and nothing else. "This boy insists he's straight, but he's sending me a picture of his ass in a jock."

Trey laughed. "That's an invitation right there."

"I know right," Jed snickered. He pulled the waistband of his shorts out and put his phone inside.

"What the hell are you doing?" Colton asked Jed.

"Trying to take a picture of my cock."

Trey looked at Jed and blinked before turning back to Colton. "There's something seriously wrong with him."

Colton and Trey laughed at their pack-mate.

Colton looked between his two friends. He had felt a strong bond between the two men as soon as he had arrived at the school.

He initially resented having to pack up and move across the country, leaving the home he grew up in. After being ousted from the Santa Fe Pack, his father had petitioned with the Alpha of the Forest View Pack, one of the largest and strongest packs in the northern US. He got a job with the sheriff's office and within days, they had left the only home Colton knew. Of course, Colton was very familiar with the reasons they had to leave, but that didn't make it any easier to swallow.

But that first day at Forest View High School changed everything. He met Trey and Jed. The pair of best friends immediately opened their circle for Colton, and the three became inseparable.

Colton was a natural leader and the other two recognized his 'alphaness' as well. He quickly became the trio's ringleader.

And then he found Parker...

It was like Destiny was smiling down on Colton, offering him a life he never imagined possible. And he was going to make the most of it.

* * *

Just a couple of months into the school year and Parker was tired. Cheer practice was exhausting. He felt stupid being the only guy there and he knew that some people made fun of him behind his back. He tried not to let it bother him since most of the cheerleaders seemed to like him. He was even friendly with a few of the football jocks, though he wouldn't say that any of them were his friends. While he wouldn't call himself popular, these days he felt that he was liked by more people than just Shell.

Then there was Colton Butler.

Parker didn't know what to do about him, or what to think. He hadn't made any further moves on Parker, but the big jock was always watching. Parker would feel the hair on the back of his neck start to prickle and nearly every time he searched with his eyes, he found Colton staring at him. There was an intensity in his gaze that was a little frightening, but also exhilarating.

At first Parker loved the attention, but after two months of nothing going nowhere, it just got to be so damned frustrating. The couple of times Parker tried to approach Colton, the other man just turned and walked away before he could even get close. But still, Parker's crush-turned-infatuation never faltered.

At least that asshole Seth Forrest was laying off him. For two months, the bully and his lackeys had steered clear of him.

And now, after a four-hour bus ride, Parker was like the walking dead. Even though they had just won another away game — their record was undefeated so far — the adrenaline high was wearing off. Everyone else was so rowdy and keyed up, there wasn't any way he could sleep on the bus.

Like always, he ended up sitting alone and ignored by the jocks. Not that they were mean, they were just indifferent. To pass the time, he played games or listened to music on his phone.

He could hear Colton and his buddies in the very back of the bus talking and laughing loudly with the guys around them. He turned around in his seat and looked back. Colton instantly looked at him as if he knew that Parker was going to be looking. The tip of Colton's tongue swiped over his bottom lip. Parker gave him a quick, shy smile, then turned back around.

He closed his eyes and took a calming breath. Parker's dick stiffened in his pants, just like it always did when he thought of Colton. Unfortunately, he couldn't whip it out and take care of it like he would have if he was in his own bedroom. He'd take matters in hand so to speak as soon as he got home.

With a sigh, he put his headphones on and tried to get into his music.

The bus finally pulled into the school parking lot. None of the jocks let Parker out and he waited patiently while they marched through the aisle to get off the bus. Trey finally paused and let him into the aisle. Parker shot the dark man a grateful smile and hurried off the bus.

Parker stood by the curb and realized that the second bus with the girls hadn't arrived yet. He was stuck waiting for Shell to give him a ride home.

He walked over to Shell's car and dropped his bag on the ground and sat down on the pavement. He leaned back against the car and looked up at the sky and covered his mouth as he yawned. The street lamp in this section was burned out, but the sky was perfectly clear, not a cloud in sight. The crescent moon was high and bright, bathing the earth in a soft light. As everyone cleared out of the parking lot, it got quiet.

Parker's eyes started to droop shut.

"Well, what do we have here?"

Parker's eyes snapped open. He drew in a breath and jumped to his feet. Seth and TJ came around the front of the car and trapped him.

Something told him that this wasn't going to end well. He recognized that look in Seth's eyes. He was no match for one muscled meat-head, let alone two. Parker tried to make a run for it, but Seth grabbed him. He wrapped his arms around Parker's chest, pinning the smaller boy's arms against his sides.

"Let me go!" Parker shouted as he struggled uselessly against Seth's grip. The boy was impossibly strong.

"Shut the fuck up, cocksucker," Seth hissed. He looked towards TJ. "Shut him up."

"I got something right here that'll shut him up," said TJ with a smirk.

"Yeah. A hole is a hole," Seth laughed.

If he was gonna go down, Parker was at least going to go with a fight. Parker hawked and spat, hitting TJ square in the face with a wad of snot, then kneed him in the nuts as hard as he could.

TJ grabbed his balls and roared. His face turned red with rage. "You're gonna regret that," he said as he wiped his face with his hand. The huge jock hauled his fist back and Parker braced himself for the impact.

As TJ swung, Colton appeared out of nowhere. He grabbed TJ's fist midair and twisted. A snap had TJ howling in pain. He fell to the ground screaming, clutching his arm. A jagged bone stuck out of his bloody forearm.

Parker was horrified. He felt sick to his stomach from the sight and smell of TJ's blood. The bile rose in his throat and he nearly lost his dinner. He was barely aware of Colton pulling him away from Seth. Trey punched Seth with a right hook, knocking the bully hard to the ground.

"Get the fuck out of here," Trey growled, giving Seth a kick in the ass.

Seth pulled a whimpering TJ up from the ground and helped him to his feet. He glared at Colton and spat a wad of blood on the ground in front of him before wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. "This isn't over, Butler."

Colton was completely unaffected by Seth's words. "Are you challenging me?" he asked with a sigh that indicated he was bored with Seth.

Seth's face went red with rage. He grabbed TJ by the good arm and dragged the whimpering teen away. "You're fucking useless," Seth mumbled to the injured boy as he dragged him towards an obnoxiously large yellow Hummer SUV.

"Are you okay, Parker?"

Parker turned back to Colton. Colton had his hands on Parker's shoulders and was staring at him with an intensity that took Parker's breath.

"Are you okay?" Colton repeated, squeezing the shoulders in his meaty hands.

Parker snapped out of his shocked daze. The intensity of the situation hit him and he started to tremble. "I-I'm okay."

As Colton put his arm around his shoulders to comfort him, Parker's face became warm and his pants started to become tight. Colton's hands were hot. Parker could feel the heat through his shirt.

Colton's voice softened. "What are you doing out here by yourself?"

"I'm waiting for Shell."

"The second bus is delayed. They had a flat tire. C'mon, I'll give you a ride home."

Parker was stunned into a daze as the bigger boy walked him across the parking lot to his car. Parker had to be dreaming. There was no way in the world that Colton Butler not only had his hands on him, but he was holding him.

"Wait," Parker said as Colton opened the passenger door of his car for him.

Trey tossed Parker's stuff into the back seat and shut the door. "See ya tomorrow at the meeting, man." He cut his eyes towards Parker, then looked back at Colton and nodded.

"Thanks," Colton said. He tipped his chin up to Trey as a goodbye before Trey ran across the lot and got into his own car.

"Wait." Parker turned back to Colton, putting his hand on the jock's forearm. Something like a static shock had Parker jerking his hand away from the warm skin covered in soft hairs. "I need to tell Shell."

"Send her a text and I'll put a note on her car just in case."

Colton gently pushed Parker inside the classic midnight blue Lincoln and shut the door. The car was practically a land yacht, an older model, but obviously well cared for. It was nice and roomy with a big back seat. Parker pulled his cell phone from his pocket and tapped out a quick note to Shell.

"How's this?" Colton asked.

Parker looked up at Colton. He had scrawled on a piece of notebook paper: "Took Parker home. Colton". It was short and to the point, though the handwriting was barely legible. Colton had the penmanship of a first grader.

Parker held in a chuckle. "That's fine. Between that and the text, she should be okay."

Colton ran across the lot to put the paper on Shell's window. Parker just stared at him, still unsure if this was a dream. His phone vibrated and he looked down at the screen. 'OMFG!! CALL ME ASAP!!!!!' Parker hit 'close' and ignored the text.

After Colton put the note on Shell's car, he ran back towards the school. Parker watched with confusion as Colton stood against the wall outside the gym's side door. His hands were in front of him and his feet were shoulder width apart. Surely he wasn't taking a leak against the school wall...

Parker's phone vibrated again. 'HELLO?! HOOKER, CALL ME!'

Ugh. Parker tapped the 'close' button again to clear the message.

After taking what seemed to Parker to be the longest piss in history, Colton jogged back to the car. Parker was drawn to the bulge in the crotch of his loose shorts that flopped back and forth between his thighs.

As Colton slid into the driver's seat, Parker shut his phone off and shoved it into his pocket. He was pretty sure he was blushing after checking out Colton's package. The smell of Colton's body odor intensified in the small space. Parker was having trouble breathing. He drew in a deep breath and shuddered.

"Are you cold?" Colton asked.

"No, I'm okay."

Colton turned in his seat and reached into the back. He unzipped his gym bag and pulled out a flannel shirt. "Put this on," he said as he handed the shirt to Parker.

Parker wondered if it was clean since it came out of Colton's gym bag. He gave the shirt a quick sniff. After inhaling the exhilarating smell, he decided he didn't give a shit if it was clean or not. He slid it on over each of his arms. He was swimming in the shirt, but it was warm and it smelled like Colton. He rolled up the sleeves and buttoned it up. He turned and gave Colton a smile.

Colton stared intently at Parker and wet his lips. The look in Colton's eyes was so intense it made Parker drop his gaze and look away. He was aware of Colton staring a few moments longer before finally turning to start his car.

* * *

Parker's nerves were so bad on the drive to his house, he thought he might actually throw up. His palms were sweating and his mouth was bone dry. He rubbed his hands on his shorts and concentrated on breathing normally.

When the car stopped, Parker looked out the window and saw that Colton had pulled the car into Parker's driveway. How the heck did they get here? Parker didn't even remember giving Colton directions.

Colton put the car into park and turned off the headlights.

Parker blinked and turned to Colton. "How'd you know where I lived?" he asked.

Colton just smiled.

Parker unbuckled his seat belt. "Thanks for the ride home. And for, you know, what you did back there. I really appreciate it. So... um... I guess I will see you later. At school, I mean."

Colton just stared at Parker, who found that he couldn't look away. Colton's hand grabbed the back of Parker's neck. He pulled Parker forward as he slammed his mouth against the smaller man's.

Parker moaned and returned Colton's kiss. He put his hands on Colton's chest. The rock-hard muscles were warm to the touch, even through Colton's t-shirt. Colton's other arm moved around Parker, pulling him close in an iron grip.

Colton's tongue pushed between Parker's lips, demanding entrance into Parker's mouth. Parker had no choice but to open for him, allowing Colton to explore and taste him as he desired. Parker had never been kissed like this before. Colton took without asking and Parker realized that he liked it. No, he loved it.

Colton broke the kiss and moved his lips below Parker's ear. Parker let his head fall back and roll to the side, exposing his neck to Colton.

Colton made a noise that sounded like a growl. The deep vibrations sent a shudder throughout Parker's body. His dick ached so bad. He was perilously close to shooting in his pants.

Colton kissed Parker's exposed neck, chewing and sucking at the soft skin at the base of his neck, where it met his collarbone. Colton's goatee and mustache were rubbing against his skin, sending prickles of pleasure down Parker's spine, straight to his dick.

"Colton." Parker moaned wantonly, trying to pull the big jock closer. He knew that he would have a mark where Colton was working him, but he didn't want him to stop. If Colton kept it up, he would make Parker come.

Parker's hand drifted down Colton's chest. Jesus, his muscles were hard as granite. His abs were like a washboard. His fingers trailed down Colton's front until they rubbed against the elastic waistband of Colton's shorts.

Colton groaned, and again it sounded like a deep rumble in his chest. His eyes glowed amber for a split second, obviously reflected from the light from the car's radio and dashboard.

He suddenly pulled away, leaving Parker confused and wanting.

Colton sat back in his seat with his eyes closed. His breathing was hard and ragged. When he finally opened his eyes and looked towards him, Parker drew in a sharp breath. No one had ever looked at him like that before. Those dark eyes looked at him like he was prey, ready to be devoured.

"You need to go," Colton said quietly, his voice a deep rumble.

Parker nodded, suddenly feeling very insecure. He reached for the door handle, but turned back. He had to take a chance. It might be the only one he got. "Um.... Shell is having a party for me next Saturday. For my eighteenth birthday. Um... If you want to come..."

"She already invited me and I already accepted. I'll definitely be there, pup." He reached up and rubbed a finger along Parker's jaw. "I'll see you Monday morning."

"Okay." Parker was stunned as he opened the door. "Wait. What's Monday morning?"

"I'm gonna pick you up for school."

"You are?"

"Yup. You're my responsibility. Mine to take care of. Make no mistake, Parker. You are mine."

Parker's head began to swim. No way all that just happened. Colton leaned forward and kissed Parker again, hard and passionately.

When Colton pulled back, he rubbed his thumb along Parker's bottom lip and Parker closed his eyes. "Your lips are swollen." The thumb slid across Parker's chin. "Your chin is red. Did my whiskers burn you too bad?"

"No," Parker said. "I liked it."

Colton smirked. "I'll see you on Monday."

After Colton pulled away, Parker slowly opened his eyes. "Okay," he said with a breathless sigh. "Oh, let me give you your shirt back," he said as he started unbuttoning the soft flannel.

Colton grabbed his hand. "No. It's chilly. Keep it."

"Okay. I'll give it back next time I see you."

"No rush."

Parker reached in the back seat and grabbed his bag. Before he shut the door, he looked back at Colton. "Goodnight, Colton."

"'Night, Parker."

"Bye."

He shut the door and waved at Colton. Colton waited in the driveway until Parker unlocked the door and went inside his house.

Parker watched through the window as Colton pulled out of the driveway. He stayed there until the taillights of Colton's Lincoln could no longer be seen.

* * *

After pulling into the garage, Colton walked straight through the house and out into the back yard. He was too keyed up to go to bed.

It wouldn't be long now. Just another week and then Parker would truly be his.

He nearly lost control twice tonight. Once when Seth had the gall to attack his boy. Good thing Trey was there to step in or he might have shifted and ripped the asshole's throat out.

He almost lost control again when he was kissing Parker. Fuck, that mouth of his was so damned good. His lips were so soft. And the way he submitted to him, letting him play bite him and mark his neck.... Parker had no idea what that did to him.




Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 02



And Parker wore his shirt, unknowingly bathing himself in the wolf's scent. He would have to make sure Parker had more of his clothes. He should have done it sooner. The smell would keep the others away from what was his.

Parker was his. His to protect, his to provide for, his to fuck, his to love.

Colton shook his head, trying to clear the lusty thoughts.

A run would help him clear his mind.

He stripped off his clothes and tossed them onto the picnic table. He ignored the hard length dripping between his legs, aching for release. He would save that for his mate.

Colton closed his eyes and dropped to all fours. He felt the tell-tale tingling across his skin and then that brief burst of delicious pain as his bones and muscles snapped and reconfigured.

The big black wolf opened his eyes and tore off into the woods.

* * *

"O.M.G! Tell me what happened!" Shell exclaimed as she flopped down onto Parker's bed. She rolled onto her stomach and propped her chin on her hands.

Parker put in the mix CD that Shell brought over and then sat down on his bed, crossing his legs, Indian style. "Nothing, really."

"Liar."

Parker couldn't help but blush a little bit. "Okay... Seth and TJ started messing with me. I mean, they were going to kick my ass or worse. Next thing I knew, Trey and Colton appeared out of nowhere. Colton twisted TJ's arm and snapped it. I mean, he literally snapped it. Broken bones sticking out, blood and everything. So gross. Trey punched Seth and gave him a fat lip. I've never been so scared in my life."

"Holy shit!"

"I know right! I swear my life flashed before my eyes."

Shell rolled her eyes. "Girl, you are so damn dramatic."

"Don't call me 'girl'."

"So get to the good part already. Girl."

"That was the good part."

"Boy, I'm gonna slap the shit out of you. What happened after Colton drove you home?"

Parker's eyes flicked to the bedpost of his headboard where Colton's blue flannel shirt hung. He had slept with it under his pillow last night, holding it so that he could smell it. God, he was pathetic. He turned his eyes back to Shell and tried to shrug and be casual. "He took me home. We sat in the car for a little bit. He said he'd see me Monday to pick me up for school and that he was coming to my birthday party."

"Oh my god."

"I know." Parker let out a little giggle. He clapped a hand over his mouth, embarrassed at having made the girly sound.

"Parker's got a boyfriend," Shell said in a sing-songy voice. "Parker's got a—" She suddenly sat up on her knees, face completely serious. She pointed her index finger at Parker. "Okay, hold up. You said you guys sat in the car for a little bit." One eyebrow went up and she twirled her index finger at Parker.

Parker rolled his eyes. "You don't miss a thing, do you?"

"Hell, no! I want details, boy. So, is he a good kisser? Is he packing or what?" she asked. She held her index fingers together and then slowly spread them apart a few inches. "Here?" When Parker didn't say anything, her eyebrows shot up and she moved her fingers wider apart. "Here?"

"Oh my god!" Parker exclaimed, slapping at her hands. "Stop being so nasty. We just kissed is all," Parker muttered, his face going completely red. He subconsciously rubbed the base of his neck, where Colton had marked him.

Shell gasped and jerked at Parker's shirt collar, exposing the huge hickey there. "You are a first class hussy!"

Parker deadpanned, "Not yet, but I'm gonna be very soon."

They both started to laugh uncontrollably and flopped down onto the bed in a fit of giggles.

Once they stopped laughing, Shell lowered her voice to a whisper. "So, you have protection right?"

Parker furrowed his brows. "He's just picking me up for school. I don't think we'll be needing that."

She didn't look convinced. "Mm-hmm."

"Okay, well give me one just in case," he said, holding out his hand.

Shell slapped Parker's hand away. "Boy, you think I'm some kind of ho who carries condoms around in her pocket?"

"Ow. You're the one who brought it up. Whatever. Anyway, I don't think I'm really into, you know, the butt sex."

Shell reached out and clasped Parker's hand, her voice dead serious. "Please, I beg you to never say 'butt sex' ever again. Especially to Colton. You must promise me this."

Parker yanked his hand away. "Remind me again why I like you?"

Shell grinned. "You know you love me, boo. Now, more importantly: what are you going to wear on Monday?"

* * *

Colton arrived with his father to the Alpha's home.

People were mingling around the back yard. The smell of the meat on the barbecue grills permeated the air.

Colton normally would be fixing a plate and mingling. But today his mind was elsewhere: on his boy. He wondered what Parker was doing. If he didn't have the weekly pack meeting, he would have called Parker and found a way to spend the day with him. Sure, he had an image to maintain as an aloof alpha dog – pun intended – but the fact was that he was tired of waiting. He didn't have time for these bullshit games the other high school kids liked to play.

The Alpha's mini-mansion was set on a multi-acre plot of land at the edge of the forest just outside the city. The back yard was plenty big enough for the pack gatherings, and with the forest right there, running and hunting was always allowed and encouraged after the meeting.

There were nearly a hundred wolves in the Forest View Pack and most of them had already arrived.

"Deputy Butler," one of the women greeted Colton's father with a smile. "It's nice to see you again."

"Now, didn't I tell you to call me Carlton?" he replied with a charming smile.

Colton didn't have the stomach to watch his dad try to flirt. He scanned the crowd until he found Jed. His friend was with his parents, his sister and his hundred brothers. Okay, so there were only four other brothers, but damn, six kids was way too many. 

Jed's dad stood out in the crowd, standing a head taller than the people around him. He was one of the pack enforcers. He kept the other wolves in line, plus acted as a bodyguard; he was fiercely loyal and always had the Alpha's back.

Jed inherited the same mentality as his dad. In a way, Colton was the alpha of their small group and Jed naturally fell in line as his enforcer.

In the same manner, Trey was like his beta. He was his most trusted advisor. He never failed to back Colton up, but he also gave Colton advice when he thought it was needed.

They were like a mini pack inside the big pack. The only thing missing was Colton's mate. But Colton had let his intentions be known. Parker belonged to him and now his pup knew it. And soon everyone else would know it.

Jed nodded at Colton and Colton made his way over, joined by Trey.

Trey and Colton tapped fists, then did the same with Jed.

Colton spotted Seth talking with a couple of his goons. Seth looked back and engaged in a staring contest. Colton sneered. He didn't even care that the Alpha was starting the meeting. He kept his eyes on Seth, not blinking even once. After a few long, intense moments, Seth finally backed down and looked away.

Like always.

Pussy.

With a satisfied grin on his face, Colton turned his attentions to the Alpha while he gave his weekly update. He even managed to keep his mind on what the leader was saying instead of Parker.

Once Alpha finished, Jed and Trey followed Colton to grab a plateful of food. After they had their fill, Colton decided he needed to relax and, other than getting laid, there was one foolproof way of doing that.

"C'mon. Let's run."

The trio walked over to the treeline and stripped off their clothes.

Colton watched the big brown wolf and the massive auburn-brown wolf playfully nip at each other, then wrestle around on the ground.

He let out a low growl and nodded his head. The other two quickly snapped to attention, their eyes on the black wolf, ears twitching, waiting for instruction.

Colton turned and took off into the woods. The other two took chase, flanking him as usual, as they ran at top speed. The razor sharp claws on his huge paws dug into the earth, propelling him deeper into the woods.

Colton breathed in the forest air, crisp and fresh. The distant scent of prey wafted across his snout and he turned direction. Jed and Trey turned with him, perfectly in tune with their leader.

Jed and Trey boxed in the small buck and Colton made the kill. He snapped the deer's neck with his jaws, making the kill quick and painless for the animal.

The trio of wolves gnawed on the deer until they were stuffed.

Colton closed his eyes and breathed in deep. He felt free, at one with nature. He felt powerful.

He looked at his pack-mates, his brothers, and felt a sense of belonging he never felt with his old pack. Yes, this was exactly where he belonged. And once he had Parker by his side, he would only grow stronger and more powerful.

Life was good.

Colton tilted back his head and let out a howl. His brothers joined in and the sounds of their celebration of life echoed through the forest.



Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 03



Monday morning found Parker's nerves about to bubble over.

Was Colton really going to pick him up for school? Thinking back, it seemed like a faraway dream. Colton seemed to have done a complete one-eighty. The hunk didn't even know Parker existed, then he moved in on Parker, only to pull away. And now... now he was all possessive and aggressive.

It might have creeped Parker out if he wasn't completely and utterly turned on by it.

He had practically locked himself in his bedroom all weekend. A blush crept up his cheeks as he thought about how many times he had smelled Colton's shirt. Not to mention how many times he had worked his dick until it was practically raw while remembering the way Colton touched him and kissed him.

Parker took one last look at himself in the mirror, checking out the outfit that Shell picked out for him. Satisfied, he grabbed his backpack and gym bag, shut his bedroom door and bounded down the stairs.

"Mom?" he called out. "Dad?"

He didn't expect an answer, but when the doorbell rang instead, it startled him enough that he jumped.

Parker opened the front door to find Colton Butler standing there. Colton Butler! At his house! To see him! Oh man, he looked like a god dressed in his blue and white FVHS letter jacket, tight denim jeans and boots.

"Hi," Parker said. He bit his bottom lip to keep from sighing dreamily. He still couldn't believe that Colton was here.

"Hey, pup." Colton stepped inside the house and shut the door behind him. "Your parents around?"

"No, they're already at work."

"Good."

Colton grabbed Parker by the shirt, yanked him close and then kissed him senseless. He worked his way down the left side of Parker's neck, then pulled the shirt collar aside and sucked hard on Parker's neck, darkening the fading mark. He sucked and bit at the curve of tender flesh and rubbed his bearded chin across the mark.

Parker let out a quiet whimper and grabbed onto Colton's hard body, his fingers digging into the arms of the larger boy's jacket as his knees buckled.

Colton groaned as he nipped his teeth along Parker's neck. "Damn. You taste so good."

"You didn't shave," Parker whispered. Colton's goatee scraped along Parker's skin, making him shudder with need.

Colton stopped what he was doing. "Is it bothering you?"

"God no," Parker moaned as his head rolled back, giving Colton more access.

"Good, because my beard grows fast and I always have stubble."

Colton continued kissing up and down Parker's neck. When Colton finally stepped back, Parker opened his eyes to see Colton's smug grin. Colton rubbed his thumb over the base of Parker's neck, seemingly pleased with himself.

Parker blinked. "It's warm in here," he muttered as he wiped his forehead.

Colton gave Parker one more quick kiss before picking up Parker's backpack and gym bag. "Let's go, pup."

Parker locked the door behind them while Colton tossed his bags into the wide back seat of his car. Parker jogged up behind Colton and grinned at the sexy man.

"Why do you keep calling me 'pup'?"

Colton chuckled. "Because you're cute and eager to please. Just like a puppy."

"Oh." Parker ducked his head, trying to hide the blush that was creeping up his face. The nickname was all kinds of embarrassing, but Parker decided that he liked that Colton called him 'pup'. He liked it a lot. "That's okay, I guess."

"Glad you approve," said Colton with a smirk.

Parker had the strong feeling that Colton would have kept calling him 'pup' whether or not Parker approved.

"Hi guys!"

Parker groaned and turned around at the sound of his friend's sing-songy voice. Shell was bouncing down her front steps, waving her fingers. The scheming smile on her face was enough to make Parker very nervous.

"Hi, Shell."

"Hey," Colton said.

"See you at school," Parker said before he quickly got into Colton's car, hoping to save himself from any potential embarrassment at the hands of his best friend.

Colton pulled into the parking lot, taking one of the parking spaces that was miraculously empty at front and center. Parker wondered if people purposely left it open for him. He wouldn't be surprised.

Parker got out of the car and grabbed his bags from the back seat. "Thanks for the ride, Colton. Um... so I guess I will see you later... maybe? If you want... I mean... Um..."

Parker wanted to crawl under a rock and die. God, he was such a dork.

Colton pulled his phone from his jacket pocket and looked at the screen. "We got plenty of time. Relax a little. C'mere."

Parker moved around to the other side of the car where Colton was leaning.

"Have you ever had a boyfriend before?" Colton asked.

"No. Have you?"

"Not until now," he replied. He pulled Parker close and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

Parker blushed and glanced around. He couldn't believe that Colton just kissed him in the school parking lot. The public display of affection was so inappropriate, but Parker would never deny a chance to kiss the hunky man.

Colton pulled Parker to his side and leaned back against his car. He appeared to be casual and relaxed, but somehow Parker could tell that Colton was on high alert, taking in his surroundings. Was he worried about being seen with Parker? No, that wasn't it. If that was the case, he wouldn't have kissed Parker.

A loud pickup truck pulled into the empty space next to Colton's Lincoln. Jed shut the monster truck's rumbling engine off and hopped out. He spit onto the ground as he rounded the truck to join Colton and Parker. "Hey, bub," he said to Colton. He adjusted the backwards ball cap on his head as he looked between Colton and Parker. "I miss something?"

Colton put his arm around Parker's shoulders. "Yup. Parker agreed to let me be his boyfriend."

Parker smiled. Like he had much of a choice. "I don't think Colton would have taken 'no' for an answer."

"I get what I want," Colton said, puffing up his chest.

Jed chuckled. "Good for you, man," he said with a nod of his head.

A silver sports car pulled into the spot on the other side of Colton's car. Trey got out and grabbed his backpack. He walked over and said 'hey' to Colton and Jed, holding out his fist for each to tap. When he held out his fist to Parker, the smaller boy mimicked the others and tapped Trey's fist, feeling like a total dork, but desperately wanting to fit in with Colton and his friends.

One of the varsity soccer players walked past and caught Jed's eye. Jed leaned against his truck and casually cupped his crotch. "Hey, bud," Jed called out to him, his voice low and growly.

"Hey, Jed," he mumbled. His face turned red and he picked up his pace. Jed massaged his crotch as he stared at his retreating ass. He clicked his tongue, and muttered to himself, "That's some good ass right there. Gotta hit that again."

Parker had to pick his jaw up off the ground. He couldn't believe that Jed was acting so... open. But then again, he had just kissed Colton. Even if it was a quick peck and no one had seen them.

A pair of cheerleaders walked past. "Hey, Trey," they said at the same time before giggling.

Trey nodded with a lift of his chin and winked, flashing them a dazzling smile. "Good morning, ladies."

The girls giggled again and ran off, whispering to each other.

Colton shook his head. "You guys better not get anyone pregnant or so help me..."

Jed laughed. "Don't worry. He made me wear a rubber."

"No one wants to hear all that," Trey said with a laugh.

"I thought that guy was straight," Parker said quietly to Colton about the soccer jock. "Isn't he dating that girl on the basketball team?"

Jed snorted. "Straight. Yeah, straight onto my dick."

Colton ignored Jed's boasting and looked at his phone. "Let's go."

Trey and Jed flanked Colton as they started to walk. Parker trailed behind until Colton turned back and grabbed his hand. He pulled Parker next to him, forcing the smaller boy to walk in step with him, right between Colton and Jed. He tried to pull his hand away, but Colton wasn't letting go.

As they made their way across the grass towards the school entrance, Parker could feel everyone's eyes on him. They probably wondered how Parker had managed to get in the position he was in. With Colton's tight grip on his hand, there wasn't any doubt as to who he was.

He was Colton's.

Parker smiled happily.

* * *

Parker was surprised to see Colton waiting by his locker at lunch time. He glanced around. Was he really here to see Parker? Not that he wasn't happy to see him. Parker had daydreamed about Colton all morning, barely paying attention to his classes, and grateful that the desk covered his tented lap.

"Hi, Colton."

"Hey, pup."

The sound of Colton's deep, rich voice had Parker's dick pushing against the fly of his jeans wanting to come out and play. If he kept leaking into his underwear like this, he was going to need to change them before the day was through.

Colton grabbed Parker's hand, pulling him with a gentle tug. "Come on, we're going out."

"Oh. I usually eat with Shell."

"She's a big girl. She'll be okay."

Parker bit his bottom lip and looked away. Parker didn't want to be mean to Shell, but he really wanted to go with Colton.

Colton squeezed Parker's hand and his voice softened. "She can come with us if you want."

Parker grinned. "Thanks."

Shell jogged up at that moment. "Sorry I'm late. Oh. Hi, Colton."

"We're going out for lunch," Colton said to her. "You can come with us if you want. Let's go, pup."

As they exited the school, they were joined by Jed and Trey, who took their normal positions flanking Colton.

"Wassup, girl?" Trey asked Shell as she moved up next to him.

"Boy, nothin'," she said with a giggle and a hair flip.

Parker coughed into his hand to disguise his laugh and Shell shot him a dirty look.

"You wanna ride with me?" Trey asked her.

Shell's face quickly changed into a smile for Trey just in time. "Sure."

Trey looked over at Jed. "You're in the back, bubba."

"Asshole," Jed muttered.

As soon as Parker and Colton got into his car, Colton leaned in and kissed Parker. He rubbed his hand over the top and back of Parker's head and then squeezed the back of his neck. His dark brown eyes stared into Parker's for a moment before he pulled away and started the car.

'Colton missed me,' Parker thought as he relaxed into the seat, feeling more comfortable.

They went to the burger place a couple of blocks down the street from the school. The place was crowded, but as soon as Colton walked in, it seemed like a table magically opened up.

Lunch was great. Parker couldn't believe how much food the three big guys packed in. Colton, Trey and Jed each had two double cheeseburgers with the works. That was like a full pound of meat! Parker could barely finish his single burger.

The burger was nice and juicy, one of the best he ever had. The juices dripped down Parker's hand and he leaned forward and swiped his tongue up his hand. Feeling like he was being watched, he looked up to see Colton staring at his mouth. "What?" Parker muttered, feeling self-conscious.

Colton's eyes lifted from Parker's lips to his eyes. He let out a quiet grunt and leaned in close to Parker's ear. "You're so fucking sexy," he whispered for Parker's ears only.

Parker didn't expect the lewd compliment, but he liked it. How could he not? Colton Butler thought he was sexy.

Colton nipped the skin of Parker's neck with his teeth. Parker scrunched his shoulders, hiding his neck from those biting teeth, and laughed.

He was quickly finding out that Colton was a very tactile person. Colton turned back to his lunch and Parker watched him for a moment. He had a feeling that Colton Butler was going to be a continuous source of amusement and surprise.

Shell and Trey flirted the entire lunch and it was funny to watch. Parker couldn't wait to get her alone to tease her. He was already positive that she was going to tease the hell out of him.

As they headed back to Colton's car, Colton opened the passenger door for Parker. As Parker moved to get in, Colton stumbled and spilled his entire to-go drink all over Parker.

"Oh my god," Parker gasped as the cold soda and ice splashed all over his neck and chest.

"Oops. Sorry, pup," Colton said. Before Parker could even do anything about it, Colton had pulled out a shirt from his back seat and held it out to Parker. "Here. Put this on."

Parker pulled his sopping wet shirt over his head, wiping off his bare chest with it as he did. When he looked up, he saw Colton staring at his chest and his hard nipples, his tongue practically hanging out of his mouth. Parker blushed and covered himself modestly with the wet shirt. Colton snapped out of his daze and they traded shirts. Colton casually tossed Parker's soda-soaked shirt onto the floor of the backseat.

Parker pulled the white polo shirt over his head and smoothed it down. He was swimming in it, but damn if it didn't have that distinctive smell that just screamed Colton. He looked down at the left breast, where the logo of the Timberwolves mascot profile was stitched. Below it was embroidered BUTLER and the number 66. It was the shirt they got after they made regionals last year.

Jed and Trey snickered. "He's smooth," Jed muttered to Trey, who nodded in agreement, clearly impressed.

"Are you sure you want me to wear this?" Parker quietly asked Colton, glancing towards Jed and Trey. "It has your name on it."

"Yup."

Colton held the car door open for Parker and shut it behind him.

* * *

When they got back to school, Colton pinned Parker in the doorway of an empty classroom, hiding him out of sight. He leaned in close, his lips hovering above Parker's. He wanted to ravish his pup, to feel his cock surrounded by Parker's body. All he had to do was move forward another couple of inches and Parker would feel his arousal. It took all of his control not to do that. He could wait. Just a little longer.

"Colton," Parker whispered as he looked around.

"Kiss me, pup," Colton whispered back.

Parker lifted onto his toes and pressed his lips against Colton's. He opened his mouth as Colton's tongue slid into his mouth.

Damn, his pup knew how to kiss. And that meant he'd be good with his mouth in other ways. Colton let out an involuntary groan. Just the thought of his cock sliding into Parker's mouth was nearly enough to make him come.

The clearing of a throat had Colton reluctantly pulling away. He didn't have to turn around to know who was behind him. He could smell him. He wanted to growl and snap at the intruder's interruption. Parker hid behind Colton, wanting to hide and shrink away.

Colton turned around, shielding Parker from Principal Shaw's probing eyes.

Shaw narrowed his eyes at Colton. "Don't you have class, Mr. Butler?"

Colton glared back at him. "I do."

The older, grey-haired man looked around Colton and lifted his brow at Parker. "Mr. Montgomery," he said with undisguised shock.

That only pissed off Colton more. As if someone as sweet and innocent as Parker wouldn't be caught dead with the likes of someone like Colton.

"Mr. Shaw," Parker muttered, not meeting his eyes. Colton could feel the trembles coming off Parker's body.

Colton moved to block Shaw's view of Parker. He ground his teeth together as he stared at Shaw. He didn't like that the man made his pup feel scared, made him feel small. Colton wasn't scared of the older wolf. Colton was bigger and stronger. He could take him without batting an eye. And Shaw knew it. Colton never moved his eyes away from Shaw's.

Finally Shaw averted his eyes, gazing down towards the floor. "Get to class."

Colton scoffed and sneered at the weaker man.

He turned back to Parker and rubbed his knuckles under his pup's chin. "Wait for me after practice, okay?" he said tenderly, trying to soothe Parker's nerves.

Parker's eyes darted to where Shaw was hovering, then looked back at Colton and nodded. "Okay. I'll see you later then."

"Definitely."

Parker gave Colton a sweet smile, and Colton watched Parker wave and hurry off to class.

He gave Shaw one more glare before casually strolling to his own class.

* * *

After cheer practice and a quick shower, Parker met up with Shell in the parking lot. "Hey. Colton is giving me a ride home."

"I bet," she said with a snicker. "You're already the talk of the school, you know. Holding hands with the campus stud. Walking around wearing his regionals shirt."

Parker ignored her comments. "You seemed to get pretty cozy with Trey."

Shell shrugged. "He's hot and all, but he just wants one thing. And I, sir, am a lady." She flipped her ponytail and batted her eyelashes.

"Mm-hmm. That's not what I heard."

"I told you that in the strictest confidence, so if you bring it up, I get to kill you. And I told you that being the school mascot would get you laid, so you owe me big."

"I don't think the mascot has anything to do with that."

"People are shocked that Colton is gay, you know."

"Not as shocked as I am. I know people have been talking about it. When I walk into a room, it's like everyone suddenly stops talking. It's gonna take some getting used to."

"Well, I don't think you have to worry about anyone or anything-- Hey, I thought you said Colton broke TJ's arm."

"He did."

Parker turned towards the direction of Shell's gaze and watched the football team come in from their practice field. He got a nasty glare from both Seth and TJ. TJ, who was holding his helmet with his right arm -- the arm that should be in a cast.

Parker looked back at Shell, completely flabbergasted. "I... I swear, Shell. His arm was broken. I heard the snap and I saw the bone sticking out. He was all bloody."

Colton broke from the team and walked up to Parker. "Hey, pup. Gimme a few minutes to shower."

Parker got all flustered thinking about Colton in the shower, but was able to recover quickly. "Okay. Colton? I thought TJ.... Never mind."

Colton nodded and turned and caught back up with the rest of the team. Parker watched him speaking quietly with Jed and Trey, who both turned and looked at Parker. Parker immediately dropped his eyes.

Shell looked at Parker with a raised eyebrow. "Uh, 'Pup'?"

"Shut up," Parker muttered, ignoring Shell's snickers and trying his best not to blush.

* * *

"Thanks for the ride home, Colton," Parker told the big guy as he pulled into the driveway and shut the engine. "Do you want to come in?"

"Yeah. I can chill for a bit."

"Cool. Um, maybe you should park your car in front of the house in case Mom or Dad comes home."

After Colton moved his car, he followed Parker into the house.

"You got a nice place," Colton said as he looked around.

"Thanks," he replied with a humble shrug. "My parents do pretty good, so..."

They went into the kitchen and grabbed a couple of water bottles, then moved into the family room.

Colton sat down on the sofa and pulled Parker down with him. He put his arms around him and gave him a blistering kiss. As he pulled back, he nipped Parker's bottom lip with his teeth.

"I like kissing you," Parker whispered.

"And I like kissing you." Colton moved them so that Parker was laying on his back. Colton laid on his side against the back of the couch. He cradled Parker's head on his right bicep and wrapped his other arm possessively around Parker's waist.

"We should talk. Get to know each other better."

"That's a good idea," Colton said as he planted soft kisses along Parker's jaw.

Parker closed his eyes. "It's hard to concentrate when you do that."

"Mm. You smell and taste so fucking good."

"Yeah? What do I taste like?"

"Like mine."

Colton kissed Parker again, then stared down at him with an intensity like Parker had never seen before. Parker was about to laugh at Colton's corny 'mine' line, but suddenly it didn't seem to be funny. Heat was pouring off Colton. Parker could feel Colton's boner pressing against his leg.




Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 03



"You don't even know the power you have over me," Colton whispered as he caressed Parker's hair and his face. "You could be my undoing, pup."

"I think I have some idea," Parker responded just as quiet. "I feel the same about you. I don't even really know you and..." It was already more than a crush for Parker. He couldn't very well say anything without sounding like a completely psycho stalker. He just shook his head. "Never mind."

Colton smiled. "It's okay. I understand."

Parker searched his mind for something to say. "So... um... You're an only child like me, right?"

Colton settled back and Parker cuddled up against him as the two got comfortable.

"Yeah. It's just me and my dad."

"Oh? What happened to your mom? If you don't mind my asking."

"No, it's okay. Mom bailed on us when I was a baby."

Parker took Colton's hand and squeezed it. "I'm sorry."

"Eh, it's okay. I don't even remember her. From the way my dad tells it, it's not like they were married, in love, or anything like that. My dad really wanted a kid -- and she gave him one."

Colton intertwined his fingers with Parker's, making Parker smile. "So what made you guys move here? From New Mexico, right?"

"Well... there was a shake-up at my Dad's job. When the sheriff got ousted, my dad was out of a job. He pulled some strings and got a job with the county sheriff's department here. He's Sheriff Forrest's chief deputy, just moved up to second in command."

"Oh. My dad is a finance executive and my mom is a lawyer."

"Are you out to your parents?"

"Yeah. I told them last year. After rumors started at school, I decided that I should tell them before they heard it from somewhere else. It didn't seem to bother them. But, to tell the truth, they don't really pay much attention to me anyways. They're pretty busy. What about your dad, does he know?"

"I haven't really talked to my dad about it, but he knows. He caught me with his boss's son a couple of years ago. Have your parents come to see you at any of the games?"

"Nah. They both work a lot," Parker said with a shrug. He decided to ignore Colton's admission of having been with someone else because the thought just twisted his guts.

"My dad is busy, too, but he always makes time to come watch me play."

He didn't say it accusingly, so Parker decided not to take it that way. "Well, that's different. You're the star of the team. I'm just a dork in a wolf suit."

"I'm not the star of the team. Trey is. And you look damn good in that wolf suit. I wanna get you down onto all fours, get behind you, rip myself a nice big hole in the back, and then fu--"

"Colton!"

Colton chuckled. "You don't seem so opposed to the idea," he said. His eyes flicked down Parker's body before settling back on his face.

Parker looked down and saw that he had an obvious tent in his sweat pants. He reached down and adjusted his dick so that it was laying flat against his belly. His face felt warm and he had to look away from Colton's grinning face. "Sorry," he muttered. "I can't help it."

Colton pushed his hips forward, pressing his hard-on into Parker's leg. "You do the same to me, pup."

Parker's face flushed and he felt hot. "I can't believe you want me. You could have anyone in the school you wanted. Literally anyone."

"And I got exactly who I want. You."

"Are you just trying to get into my pants?"

'Not that it wouldn't work,' Parker thought to himself.

"I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to be. Since I moved here, I've been watching you. Waiting."

"You have? Why didn't you say something sooner?"

"Um. Well, I'm older than you are. My birthday is in December, so I started school after everyone else my age. You're... underage."

"Oh. So you were just waiting until I turned eighteen?" Parker asked with a frown.

"Yes."

Parker thought that explanation to be a little odd. If Colton was really interested in him, why would he have to wait? None of the other kids did. I mean, look at Trey and Jed. And Colton practically admitted to Parker that he was no virgin.

Parker watched Colton reach into his pocket and pull out his cell phone. He was more interested in the large bulge pushing down the leg of his jeans. Damn, the boy was huge.

"We need to trade numbers," Colton said.

Parker looked away from Colton's crotch. "Right. Okay."

After they entered their phone numbers, Parker paused. He wanted to take a picture of Colton, but didn't want to sound like a total love-sick dork.

"I want a picture of you, pup," Colton said as he sat up. "Lay back."

"Okay." Parker smiled while Colton held his phone up and snapped a series of pictures.

Parker then took a couple of pictures of Colton. The big jock had a smug little smile on his face that was so sexy.

"You're so hot," Parker blurted.

Colton pushed Parker down onto the couch and laid down on top of him and kissed the hell out of him. Colton pushed up Parker's shirt. His fingers grazed Parker's belly button, making Parker giggle.

"That tickles." Parker laughed as he pushed his shirt down.

"Show me your belly, pup," Colton demanded in a deep, husky, and very sexy growl.

Something in the tone of his voice made Parker's insides turn to mush. He had no choice but to obey Colton immediately. He turned his head away from Colton as he pulled up his shirt. It was actually Colton's shirt he was wearing, he realized. He had gotten so comfortable in it, he didn't even realize. His eyes fluttered closed and he moaned softly as Colton sniffed and kissed the flat expanse of his exposed stomach. The scratch of the other boy's goatee against his skin made him quiver.

"So damned good," Colton grunted as he nipped the skin of Parker's belly with his teeth.

The bigger teen crawled up Parker's body, straddling his leg and covering him with his muscular body. He traced his fingers down Parker's arm and looped a finger through the thread bracelet around the boy's left wrist. "Where did this come from?" he asked as he tugged the fraying threads.

"Careful. Shell made it for me. After everything that happened last year, to let me know that I still had a friend. I was a little bit depressed."

Parker felt a little uneasy at having opened up like that. He didn't want to scare Colton away with his stupid baggage.

Colton looked at the bracelet for a moment longer, then took his hand away. "I'm sorry all that happened to you... If I knew what you were going through... You hid your emotions well."

Colton pushed him down into the couch, letting the smaller boy feel his muscular weight, letting him feel the arousal between his legs.

"You're heavy," Parker whispered.

"Am I too big?" Colton worried, pushing himself up onto his hands.

"No," Parker replied, and pulled Colton back on top of him. "How big are you?"

Colton raised an eyebrow. "How big am I?"

"That's not what I meant," Parker backtracked, much to Colton's amusement.

"I'm about six-foot-four, somewhere between 210 and 220 pounds."

"That's so hot."

Colton let his weight settle on Parker as he took his mouth, aggressively pushing his tongue inside Parker.

He sucked at the base of Parker's neck. Parker whimpered and clutched at the back of Colton's shirt, using his hands to feel those rock-hard shoulder and back muscles. His body trembled underneath the bigger boy's.

'Please don't stop,' he silently begged Colton.

They were in the middle of making out pretty heavy when the garage door rumbled open.

"Shoot!" Parker hissed. "That's probably my mom."

They moved upright and Colton reached over and straightened Parker's clothes and fixed Parker's hair with his fingers. Colton reached between his legs and tried to push that big steel bar into a less obvious position.

Parker grabbed the remote and turned on the TV.

"Do I look guilty?" Parker whispered.

"Yeah," Colton laughed. He ran his fingers under Parker's chin. "But damn cute."

Kate Montgomery walked into the house talking on her cell phone, carrying a briefcase and a plastic grocery bag in her other hand. Parker and Colton stood up so that Parker could introduce her to his boyfriend. Boyfriend. The thought made Parker smile.

She was clearly startled when she saw the big teen standing with her son. She held up her index finger and mouthed 'just a minute', then walked into the other room to finish her conversation.

"That's my mom," Parker said with a shrug.

After a few minutes, it was apparent that she wasn't coming back.

Colton pulled out his phone and checked the time. "I should get going."

Parker walked Colton to the front door. "Maybe you can stay for dinner sometime?"

"Sure. That'd be nice."

"Bye, Colt."

"See you in the morning, pup."

After making sure the coast was clear, Colton leaned down and gave Parker a quick kiss. He rubbed the back of his knuckles across Parker's cheek before he left.

Parker shut the door behind his boyfriend. He touched his fingers to his cheek and his mouth, where he still felt a ghosting touch of Colton's warm lips. He looked out the window and watched Colton pull away.

Once Colton was gone, Parker walked into the kitchen where his mother was microwaving a bag of vegetables.

"Set the table, please," she said as she began slicing the rotisserie chicken she bought from the store. "Where's your friend?"

"Colton had to go home," Parker replied. He pulled the plates from the cupboard along with silverware for three.

"Oh. I was on the phone with one of the partners so I didn't get to introduce myself."

"It's okay. I'm sure you'll see him around."

"He's awfully big."

"He's on the football team. He works out a lot."

"That's nice."

"What's nice?" Barney Montgomery asked as he came in through the garage door. He set his briefcase down by the door and loosened his tie. At the buzzing sound, he pulled his Blackberry from his hip holster.

"Parker made a new friend at school."

Parker groaned. The way his mom said that made him sound like such a dork.

"Good for you, Parker," his father said. He looked at Parker and frowned. "What are you wearing?"

Parker looked down at Colton's polo shirt and ran his hand down the front and straightened the over-sized shirt on his small frame. "Oh. I spilled soda all over my shirt at lunch. Colton gave me this one to wear."

Barney walked out of the room, his head buried in his phone. Parker wasn't sure his dad had even listened to his response.

* * *

The black wolf crouched down behind the tree and watched his boy. The in-ground pool's light was on and it cast a shimmering glow over Parker.

He longed to get closer, to let the boy see him in this form, but knew it would be a bad idea. He didn't want to scare his mate.

Parker was skimming the pool with a long-handled net. He'd scoop up the leaves and then toss them over the back fence. After he finished, he walked over to the skimmer cover and squatted down. He pulled out the skimmer basket and walked towards the back fence.

Parker approached the back fence and suddenly froze, his eyes seemingly looking directly at Colton. "Oh shit!"

Overwhelming fear poured off Parker as he dumped the basket on to the ground and ran into the house.

Colton growled low in his throat, pissed off at himself that he had scared Parker. The boy couldn't have seen more than a shadow, or perhaps the reflection of his eyes. Clearly it was enough to unnerve him.

But still he waited. Some time later, the boy came back outside.

Colton moved back further into the trees, taking extra measures to be sure that he would not be seen this time.

The wolf watched his mate cautiously look around, fidgeting from side to side, trying to peer into the trees.

Parker picked up the discarded skimmer basket and emptied the wet leaves. He replaced the skimmer and its cover. He walked over to the control panel and turned off the pool light. Making his way in the dark, he walked over to the patio and sat down, then pulled out his cell phone.

Even in the pitch of night, Colton could see him clearly.

Parker sat in the dark on the back porch playing with his cell phone. The light from the phone's display lit up his face. He was still wearing Colton's shirt, which pleased the beast greatly. He smelled like his, just as he should.

He had claimed the boy as his today. Everyone knew who Parker belonged to. Soon he would claim him as his mate.

The wolf yearned to throw his head back and howl for joy. He wanted to share all of himself with his mate. He longed to feel the touch of his hand stroking his fur. He needed Parker's acceptance, needed to come out of the dark brush and into the light of his mate's approval.

The boy's breathing changed subtly as he concentrated on the phone's screen. The faint, addictive scent of the boy's arousal wafted over the wolf's senses.

His boy let out a little moan as he looked at his phone and pressed his hand between his legs.

The wolf knew what he was looking at. When he got out of the shower earlier, he had texted photos of himself to the boy. He hadn't shown him anything below the waist, but he sent some chest, ab and bicep poses. And a face shot with the words: "miss u".

The boy jumped out of his seat and hurried into the house. The wolf watched the window where he knew the boy slept. He saw the light come on for a few minutes before going off.

The wolf took extreme joy in knowing that the boy was at this very minute in bed pleasuring himself to fantasies of his human form. For a split second, he thought about climbing that oak tree so that he could look into the bedroom and watch. It would take no effort on his part to leap up there.

When the wolf returned home, he shifted and gathered his clothes off the back porch. As he picked up his jeans, his pocket vibrated. He pulled out his cell phone and tapped on the missed message.

"miss u 2" it said, along with a picture of Parker in bed, bare from the chest up. His cheeks were flushed and his blond hair was mussed. He had a shy little smile. Even through the picture Colton could read his pup's nervousness. He clearly got over his nerves enough to snap the picture.

Oh, holy fuck.

He must have been jerking off before he took the picture.

Colton groaned and gripped his rapidly growing erection. With one hand holding the phone so he could see the screen and the other furiously stroking his cock, he let out a long groan and sprayed ribbons of come all over the back porch's floor.

He stumbled into a chair and fell down into it as he struggled to get his breathing under control. His cock remained rock hard against his ab muscles, oozing those last few drops of come, which pooled in his belly button. He could probably jerk off again and it still wouldn't go down.

He wouldn't be satisfied until he had Parker.

Oh yes, in just a few short days, he was finally going to take what was his.

* * *

Parker let out a cry as he sat straight up in his bed. His body trembled as he recalled the dream he had been having.

He and Colton had been in the backyard. The bigger boy was laid out on top of him as they kissed passionately. Parker opened his eyes and looked up at Colton. Colton licked his lips as his dark eyes looked down at him. A dark shadow fell over the two. Behind Colton, there was a flash of a pair of glowing amber eyes. Suddenly, Colton was pulled away. Parker reached out, desperately trying to grab onto Colton. But it was too late. Whatever it was had taken Colton and disappeared with him into the woods.

Parker shook his head and took in a deep breath and let it out slowly, trying to forget the creepy dream. He got up and pulled on his robe and went downstairs to the kitchen.

He looked out the patio doors. He had definitely seen something in the shadows when he was cleaning the pool. He couldn't really see what it was, but he saw the reflection of its eyes. Whatever it was, it was big. A big dog, maybe?

He pulled a bottle of water out of the refrigerator. He noticed half of a leftover steak on a plastic-covered plate.

Maybe the animal was thirsty. The pool water probably looked awful inviting. Or he could have been hungry. It hadn't tried to hurt Parker. It was hiding from him.

He pulled the plate out and removed the leftover steak. He set the empty plate in the sink, then grabbed a flashlight from the utility drawer and headed into the backyard. He walked to the back fence and swept the flashlight across the treeline.

Not seeing anything, he tossed the steak over the fence and it landed by the trees. His parents would definitely freak out if they knew he was feeding stray animals.

Satisfied that he had done a good deed for the day, he turned to go back into the house. Sarah Mclachlan would be proud of him. The thought made him smile. Her "animal rescue" commercials could melt the coldest heart. Well, not including his parents. Parker begged for a pet while he was growing up. But doggie smells or cat hair had no place in his parental units' clinical, structured world.

As Parker climbed back into bed, the thought occurred to him that feeding a stray animal might keep it coming back for more.

And for some reason he couldn't fathom, that thought didn't seem so terrible.



Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 04



The next morning, Colton picked Parker up for school again. He had lunch with Colton and his friends, but this time Shell made other plans. Parker felt bad, like he had ditched his best friend, but she insisted that he go. Parker suspected that she was probably interested in a new guy.

After cheer practice, Parker waited for football practice to finish up. When Colton asked him if he wanted to hang out for awhile, Parker quickly agreed.

Colton drove to the mall and they went to the food court. Colton bought each of them a cherry slushie and they shared a big soft pretzel with extra salt and cheddar cheese to dip it in. They found an empty table and sat down across from each other. As soon as they sat down, Colton stretched his legs out, trapping Parker's in between.

Parker let out an embarrassing laugh that sounded perilously close to a nervous giggle and Colton smiled at him. Colton had a way of putting Parker at ease. Parker was able to relax and enjoy himself.

After they finished their snack, they made their way through the mall, and Colton obviously had a destination in mind.

"Where are we going?" Parker asked.

"We're gonna play slot racers."

Parker looked up at Colton skeptically, but decided to go with it. He followed Colton into the slot racer shop. The store was one huge race track, which zipped and curved all around an elaborate miniature town. The little slot cars were remote operated and they sat on top of the grooved track. Aside from the shop's clerk, they were the only two in the store.

Colton paid for their time and they both picked out their cars. Parker chose a little red convertible, while Colton went for a yellow muscle car.

"Ready, pup?" Colton asked.

Parker nodded. When the light changed to green and the horn sounded, Parker pulled the accelerator trigger and his car took off.

It was a lot of fun. He and Colton were both laughing their asses off. They shoved each other with their shoulders while talking smack.

When the heat time was up, Parker's car was a fraction of a second ahead of Colton's. He jumped up and let out a whoop. "Yes! Eat my dust."

Colton growled. "Let's play again."

"Someone's a sore loser," Parker joked.

Colton didn't reply back, his mind was already concentrating on the game.

They played again, but this time Colton smoked his ass. Parker hadn't realized how competitive his new boyfriend was, but he should have known. They played three more heats and each time, Colton won. Colton didn't gloat, but he smiled smugly, clearly pleased with himself.

Parker poked his bottom lip out in an exaggerated pout. "You're supposed to let me win if you want me to put out."

Colton stared down at Parker with that intense gaze. "You'll put out either way."

Parker smiled. "Are you so sure of that?"

The corner of Colton's mouth turned up as he struggled to keep a straight face. "Yes."

Of course Colton was right. Parker laughed and Colton finally broke out in a smile.

Colton dipped his head down towards Parker's face. His voice was a husky whisper, forcing Parker to move in slightly to hear him. "What if I leaned down and kissed you right here, right now? Would you still let me, even though I just whooped your ass?"

Parker's face flushed and his laughter turned into a nervous chuckle. He cut his eyes sideways towards the clerk. His tongue darted out over his lips.

"One more game," Parker whispered.

They played one more game. This time, Colton pulled back at the last second and let Parker win. And when Colton took Parker home, he made sure their on-the-couch make-out session was hot enough to make Colton's loss worth it.

* * *

Somehow Parker managed to make it through the week. He was more than ready for his birthday party. He couldn't remember the last time he was anticipating a birthday this much. He wasn't sure what Shell had planned, but he was excited because it would be the first time that he and Colton would be hanging out together with other people outside of school.

Sure, everyone knew that they were dating. That was apparent on Monday morning and it didn't take long for the entire student body to know. He went to school with Colton every day, had lunch with him and then hung out after school. After just a couple of days, he seemed to fall in line with Colton's friends like he was born to the position. And Parker noticed that it was always the same configuration: with Parker always on Colton's right side, standing in between Colton and big Jed. Trey flanked Colton's left side.

Parker loved his time spent with Colton. The big guy was surprisingly sweet when the two of them were alone. While in public, he had a bad-ass persona to maintain, but he never treated Parker like he was a side-piece trick. In fact, he treated Parker like he was the most important thing in his world. Parker soaked up the attention like a sponge.

Parker took extra time getting ready for the party. He quickly decided on a pair of jeans that were a little tight in the butt. They also made his package look pretty good. He tried on a bunch of shirts before deciding to go with a simple t-shirt.

After several heavy make-out sessions with Colton, he was pretty sure that tonight, things would be going further. And Parker was so ready. He was eighteen years old now, officially an adult.

Tonight, he was going to get some dick.

And something told him that Colton would be more than willing to give it to him.

"Parker, can you come down here?"

Parker grabbed his phone and headed downstairs towards his mom's voice, following it into the kitchen.

His mother and father were standing at the kitchen table smiling. "Happy birthday!" they both exclaimed. On the table was a small chocolate cake with a single lit candle and an envelope.

He gave them both a hug. "Thank you."

Parker leaned down and blew out the candle. The cake clearly came from a grocery store and said "Happy Birthday" on it. It was the same thing he got every year. Parker didn't really mind. The grocery store cakes were a lot better than what his mom could have made, not that she ever attempted to bake anything.

While his mother sliced the cake, Parker opened his birthday card. It was your standard boring 'happy eighteen' card with a picture of a cake on the front and a pre-printed 'happy birthday' message inside. But also included was $300 dollars in three crisp one hundred dollar bills.

"Thank you," Parker said, giving each of his parents another hug.

The three sat down at the table and enjoyed a piece of cake.

"What time is Michelle picking you up for your party?" his mother asked, setting aside her cake after two bites.

"Shell's not picking me up, Colton is. But she said we needed to leave at 7:00."

Barney frowned. "Colton?"

"Parker's new... friend," Kate explained. She shot a look to Barney that let him know her thoughts on their "friendship" included more than just being friends.

"Have we met him?" Barney asked, looking between his wife and son.

"I've seen him around a couple of times this week," Kate offered.

"His name's Colton Butler," Parker added. "His dad is a sheriff's deputy."

"Carlton Butler's son?" Barney grunted. "I've heard about that kid. He's trouble."

"He seems like a nice young man," Kate said. "Awfully big, though."

"He is nice, Mom," Parker quickly added. "He's not a troublemaker at all."

Barney shook his head. "That's not what I heard. A golfing buddy of mine works in the sheriff's office and he's told me plenty about the deputy's son. Drinking, loitering, cruising, fighting. I don't approve of you hanging out with this thug. You know, our company handles the Sheriff's investments. He's quite wealthy and powerful."

Parker chose to ignore his father's boasting since it had nothing to do with what they were talking about. But he was shocked. Where the hell was all of this bullshit about Colton coming from? "That's not fair, Dad. You don't even know him. He's not like that at all."

Barney was interrupted by his BlackBerry. He looked down at the screen before looking back up at Parker. "We're not done with this conversation," he said, pointing his phone at Parker. He got up from the table, answering the phone as he left the room. "Montgomery... Go ahead..."

Parker sighed and turned back to his mother. "Mom, he's not like that. Honest. I don't know where Dad heard all of that from, but it's total bullshit. I'm eighteen years old now and I am not going to stop seeing him."

Kate Montgomery narrowed her eyes and hardened her voice. "You better watch the way you speak to me, Parker. I won't take that kind of backtalk under my own roof. Do you understand me?"

Parker dropped his eyes, realizing that he had pushed too far. "Yes."

Kate reached over and squeezed Parker's hand and softened her voice. "Now, why don't you have him over for dinner sometime next week and we can get to know him a little better, okay?"

Parker readily nodded in agreement. If his parents just got to know Colton, they'd realize what a great guy he was. They would be happy for him because Colton made Parker happy. "Okay. That sounds like a good idea."

"Good. Now put the cake away if you're finished and clean up the dishes."

She gave Parker a pat on his shoulder before walking out of the room.

After putting away the dishes, Parker sliced a nice, big piece of cake, wrapped it, and then set it aside for Colton. He covered up the rest of the cake, then went to the living room and laid down on the sofa and anxiously waited for Colton.

As soon as Colton's car pulled into the driveway, Parker jumped off of the sofa. He grabbed the plastic-wrapped paper plate from the coffee table and pushed his feet into his shoes.

"Bye! See you tonight," he called out to his parents, not that he expected a reply from wherever they were in the house.

He shut the door behind him and hurried into Colton's car. He set the paper plate on the seat between them.

"I brought you a piece of birthday cake," Parker said.

"Thanks, pup." Colton leaned in and gave Parker a smoldering kiss. "Happy birthday."

"Thanks."

"Where's your jacket?" Colton asked with his brows furrowed and a frown on his face.

"Oh, I forgot it. I was in a hurry to get out here. Hold on, I'll go get it."

Colton shrugged off his hoodie and gave it to Parker. "Here. Put this on."

Parker pulled the jacket on without hesitation and zipped it up. "I think I have more of your clothes than you do," he laughed as he bunched up the sleeves.

Colton leaned over and pulled Parker in for another kiss. "I like you in my clothes," he said with a growly voice. "You smell like me."

"That was an odd thing to say," Parker thought.

He lifted the front of the sweatshirt and sniffed. "It does smell like you. It smells good." Parker leaned in and gave Colton a quick peck on the lips. Before he could pull back, Colton grabbed the back of his head and pressed his mouth onto Parker's, sliding his tongue inside, kissing him until he became lightheaded.

"I have something for you," Colton said. "For your birthday. I have more for later, but I want to give this to you now."

He dug into his pocket and pulled out a friendship bracelet braided with black threads, accented with silver. He took Parker's left hand and tied it around his wrist next to Shell's bracelet. He gave the bracelet a gentle tug, making sure it was fastened securely. When he did, the blue bracelet finally ripped.

"Oh no," Parker moaned. "It broke."

"Oops. My bad, pup," Colton said. He balled up the other bracelet and put it in the palm of Parker's hand.

"It should be fixable," Parker said as he examined the tattered ends.

"Probably. But would it be okay if you just wore mine?"

Parker studied Colton for a minute. "You broke that on purpose."

Colton didn't meet Parker's eyes. "Maybe," he mumbled.

Colton looked so cute right then that Parker almost laughed. He was surprised that Colton admitted that he broke the bracelet. But then, that was the kind of person Colton was. Maybe he wasn't perfect and could use a lesson in tact, but he was honest and loyal. Parker felt it deep in his gut that he could trust Colton, and he could show Colton that trust by returning his loyalty.

"Did you buy it?" Parker asked as he ran his fingers over the new bracelet.

"No. I made it. Jed showed me how." He smiled proudly.

Parker noticed several imperfections in the braiding and that made it absolutely perfect as far as he was concerned. "Okay. I'll just wear yours then." Parker pushed Shell's bracelet into his pocket, not wanting to lose it. He would put it in his box of mementos when he got home. "Thank you." He leaned forward, seeking a kiss and Colton didn't disappoint him.

Colton gave Parker one more intense kiss, then put the car into gear. He looked back as he pulled out of the driveway and sped off, heading away from town.

"Where are we going?" Parker asked. He ran his tongue over his swollen bottom lip. He could still taste Colton on his mouth. His chin tingled erotically from being scratched by Colton's goatee. And his dick was so hard he could poke a hole through a steel plate.

"To the old water tower."

"Oh, okay."

As Colton drove, Parker leaned back in his seat and discreetly pushed his dick into a more comfortable position.

Parker had never been up to the old water tower, but he had heard about it, of course. It was a notorious party hot spot for the popular kids at school.

The old water tower was located on the outskirts of town, up on a hill. It was still in use, but a new, larger, more modern water tower was built several years ago and now fed most of the city.

Colton pulled off the road onto the unpaved gravel tracks that led up to the tower. The chain link gate surrounding the structure was already open. Colton parked in the gravel lot next to Trey's sports car.

Parker got out of the car and walked around to Colton's side. Colton grabbed another hoodie from the backseat and pulled it on. He held out his hand to Parker. Parker grabbed his hand and the pair walked to the base of the water tower.

A small campfire was lit, bathing the area in a soft, flickering light. Shell was already there, as were Jed and Trey, plus a handful of the cheerleaders and football players that Parker was friendly with.

Jed was sitting next to a cooler on the tailgate of his pickup truck.

"Hey, birthday boy!" Shell squealed. She ran up to Parker and pulled him into a big hug. She gave Colton a smile. "Hey, Colton. Thanks for coming." She grabbed Parker's hand and tugged. "C'mon."

Parker let Shell drag him over to the campfire while Colton joined Jed at the tailgate of his truck.

* * *

Jed handed Colton a can of beer before pulling his own out of the cooler in the bed of his truck. Jed and Colton tapped their cans together in a toast and drank.

Colton never took his eyes off Parker as he stared at him over the rim of his can. Parker was standing with Shell and Trey and seemed unaware that he was being watched as he laughed with his friends. But Colton had been watching him for a long time now. His boy was fucking gorgeous. His big green eyes and messy blond hair. His happy smile. His tight body. Just catching a smell of him made his dick twitch.

"Congratulations, man," Jed said quietly. "Parker's cute. Quite the catch."

Colton shot Jed a look. "I already warned you once. You touch him, I swear to god, I will fuck you up."

Jed held his hands up. "Hey, I'm not trying to poach your boy." He took a drink of his beer. "So, you're both mating age now. What are you gonna do? Hey. Can you even mate a human? You gotta bite him to mark him, right? But if you bite him, won't he turn?"

"I don't know. I need to talk to Dad or Alpha Forrest. I don't really know how this shit works. I don't want to hurt Parker. No matter what, I won't let Dad or Alpha keep me from him. He is my mate. And make no mistake, I will have him."

Jed downed the rest of his beer, tossed the empty into a pile, and then grabbed another can. "I don't know how you do it. I can barely go a week before my wolf hormones go into overload."

Colton laughed. "I have more will power than you do," he said, tipping his head towards Jed's empty beer cans. "And it's not your wolf hormones. It's because you're a man whore."

Jed spewed beer all over the place. He laughed and flipped Colton off as he wiped down his shirt. "Fucker."

Colton snickered before turning back to look at Parker. "Besides, I know Parker will be worth the wait."

The truth was, it wasn't easy at all for Colton. When male wolf shifters go through puberty, their hormone levels spike through the roof. They spend as much time as they can sticking their dick into anything that moves. It was just before Colton's first change at fifteen that he lost his virginity. He had bedded more than his share of willing partners, mostly male, but there were a few females thrown in the mix. But after finding Parker, he didn't want anyone else. He physically ached with the need to feel Parker under him, submitting to him.

Colton felt a little guilty for snapping the bracelet Shell made for Parker. But he didn't want his boy to be wearing anything that came from anyone else. It didn't matter that Shell wasn't a threat to his claim. Yeah, it was a dick move, but he wasn't going to apologize for it.

"Are you sure he's the one?"

"Yeah. From the very first time I saw him and smelled him. I just knew. You'll know if you meet yours. You don't know how hard it was to control myself when he's near. Whenever I smell him, I want to push him to the ground and take him right there. We were making out a couple of days ago and he accidentally rubbed my cock over my shorts and I almost lost control and fucking shifted. Right then and there, full on furry."

"I ain't looking to get mated now or anytime soon." Then Jed chuckled. "I bet he would have shit his pants when he all of a sudden had an enormous black wolf on top of him, humping on his leg." Jed and Colton continued to watch Parker laugh with Shell and one of the other cheerleaders. Jed cocked his head to the side. "I bet he's a virgin. Yeah. Definitely."

Colton growled deep in his chest, directing a menacing glare at his friend. Jed had a lot of experience taking virgin boy ass. He'd better keep his eyes, hands, and anything else off Parker's ass.

"Parker's virgin status is none of your damned business. Don't make me tell you again."

"Sheesh, Mr. Sensitive. Don't shoot the messenger. I'm just saying. Are you gonna tell him... about us?"

"Yes. When the time is right." He sipped his beer, watching Parker over the rim of his can.

"Just be careful."

"I won't tell him anything until after I talk to my dad or the Alpha."

* * *

Parker had a great time at his party. He was glad that it was just a small gathering, nothing crazy, just people standing around talking.

Colton let him have a taste of his beer, but Parker decided he didn't like the taste at all. Jed seemed to drink half of the case, but didn't seem to get drunk. Even if he had a high tolerance to the stuff, if he kept drinking like that, he was going to end up with a huge beer gut.

Jed left right after Trey disappeared with one of the cheerleaders. Jed had said he was meeting one of the baseball jocks for a little "batting practice," complete with air quotes and a devilish grin. Parker didn't want to know any more details.

Soon Shell left as well as the others, leaving Parker alone with Colton.

Colton extinguished the fire by tossing sand into the firepit, then held out his hand to Parker. "Come walk with me, pup."

Parker walked with Colton through the woods. It was dark, quiet and a little romantic.

Colton pulled a plastic zippered baggie out of his jacket pocket and held it open for Parker. "Want some jerky?"




Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 04



Parker reached in and pulled a piece of dried meat from the bag and bit into it. "Mm. It's really good. What is it?"

"Venison jerky. Jed's family makes it."

Parker gulped his bite down. "Like deer?" he asked with wide eyes.

"Yup." Colton pulled off a chunk of dried meat and chewed it.

"They shoot deer?" Parker asked. Not that he should be surprised. Jed was a total redneck. Of course he liked hunting.

"No, that's cheating. They like a more hands-on approach to hunting."

"Oh," Parker nodded. "Right. Like bowhunting."

"Something like that," Colton mumbled.

Parker took another bite of the meat. "It's really good, though."

The boys walked together in silence, enjoying the cool night. The sky was clear and the air was crisp. Parker wasn't cold, though. Just being near Colton made him feel warm.

They eventually doubled back around and made it back to Colton's car. Colton opened the back door and the two climbed into the back seat.

"It's roomy back here," Parker said.

Colton wiggled his eyebrows. "I know."

Colton leaned over the front seat and put his key into the ignition and turned on the engine. He set the radio to a quiet level and turned the heat onto the low setting.

He sat back, bent over and reached underneath the driver's seat and pulled out a small box. "Happy birthday, Parker."

Parker gave the big guy a quick kiss and pulled the top off the box. Inside was a leather cord necklace laying on a bed of cotton. Parker pulled it out and drew in a surprised breath. Hanging from the leather cord was a small charm: the side of a wolf's head in profile.

"Thank you, Colton. Is this silver?" he asked as he touched the charm.

Colton's face twitched. "No. It's platinum. I had it modeled after my tattoo."

"It's beautiful."

"Here. Let me put it on you." Colton took the necklace from Parker and clasped it around his neck.

Parker looked down and touched the wolf. "I love it, Colton. Thank you."

"Looks good."

"Yeah? I'll wear it always."

Colton's voice dropped an octave. "Good."

Colton shifted in the seat, easing Parker down onto his back. "Show me your belly, pup." His voice was deep and husky, sending tingles up Parker's spine.

Parker relaxed back against the seat and did as Colton requested. He didn't know why Colton liked his stomach, but he'd do anything that Colton asked. He lifted his shirt and closed his eyes. His breathing hitched as Colton kissed and nipped his belly. His warm breath and the whiskers of his goatee and mustache against his skin was so erotic. And Colton's head being so close to his crotch had him throbbing in his jeans.

Colton flicked his tongue across Parker's belly button, then slid up and laid down on top of Parker's smaller body.

Parker liked the feeling of the bigger boy on top of him. He shifted his legs a little bit, bringing his left knee up so that his leg straddled Colton's. Colton shifted, resting his groin on Parker's.

Colton pressed his lips gently against Parker's while he lightly stroked his fingers through the smaller boy's hair. "Are you a virgin, pup?"

Parker knew that he was starting to blush, not unlike a shy virgin, but he couldn't help it. "Yes," he answered quietly. "Well, I gave a guy a handjob once."

Colton made a rumbling noise in his chest that sounded like a growl. His eyes narrowed into slits. "Who? Tell me," he said between his gritted teeth.

The demand made Parker a little uncomfortable and he tensed, though Parker had to admit to himself that the jealousy and possessiveness was kind of hot, as was that growling noise he made. But still. "Colton, that's not fair. Are you a virgin?"

Colton closed his eyes and breathed in deep and let it out slowly, then opened his eyes. "You're right. I'm not a virgin, but I haven't been with anyone since I moved here. Since the time I first saw you, I haven't wanted anyone else."

"Wow." Parker laughed nervously. "I just hope I can live up to your expectations."

"You will. There's no need to be nervous. Just do what comes naturally."

"It happened before."

Colton frowned. "What happened before?"

"It, the... you know... the handjob. It happened before you moved here." Parker's voice shook as he spoke. He turned his head away from Colton. He didn't really want to go into the details, but he knew that Colton would know that something was wrong just from his voice.

Colton rubbed his nose along Parker's neck, scraping his goatee down the sensitive skin along his jugular. "What happened?"

Parker paused for a moment, considering. He didn't want to lie to Colton, so he just blurted it out. "It was the week before school started. Eleventh grade. My gymnastics coach gave me a key to let me swim at the school's pool. It was pretty cool, you know, because there was never anyone there, so I had complete run of the pool."

Colton nodded along, but didn't say anything, so Parker continued.

"Well, one day when I was getting out of the pool, this guy was there watching me. He was one of the popular jocks, and never showed any interest in me before, so I was completely surprised. I don't even think he's really gay. Anyway, he cornered me in the locker room shower. He was a little aggressive. I liked it at first, but he wanted too much. After I used my hand on him, he wanted more. I pushed him off me and he lost his footing on the wet floor and I ran."

Colton had his eyes closed as Parker told the story. His body was tight and tense. Parker nuzzled his nose along the hollow of Colton's neck. "Are you mad?" he whispered.

Colton's eyes opened and he pulled Parker back to look him in the eye.

"Not at you. Never at you." Colton continued looking at Parker. "There's more to your story. He wasn't going to take 'no' for an answer."

Parker looked away from Colton's piercing gaze. He nodded his head slightly, confirming Colton's theory.

Colton's fingers turned Parker's head towards him. "Never tell me who it was. I won't be able to control myself, and now that I have you, I don't want to risk going to jail for murder."

Parker let out a nervous laugh. But he didn't think that Colton wasn't kidding. It scared him a little bit to think of Colton being violent, but it also turned him on a little bit. Parker wouldn't want Colton to get in trouble defending his honor like he was some sort of "damsel in distress", but he realized that he loved it when Colton got all jealous and possessive and showed his protective side. It confirmed that Colton truly cared about him, and that this wasn't just some random hook-up.

Colton kissed Parker slowly and deeply, sliding his tongue inside his mouth. Colton pulled back enough to push the hoodie from Parker's shoulders and to lift the shirt over his head.

"Fuck," Colton moaned as his hands roamed all over Parker's exposed chest and stomach. "You're fucking gorgeous, pup."

"Your hands feel so good, Colt." He grabbed the hem of Colton's shirt. "Take your shirt off, too. I wanna see you, touch you."

Colton lifted up and tossed his shirt away. Parker rubbed his hands up and down Colton's muscular chest, feeling every rippling muscle. All that hair on his hard pecs that he had been dying to run his fingers through felt so good under his finger tips. "You're so sexy."

Colton laid on top of Parker, pushing his legs apart with his thighs. He began a slow rocking motion, grinding his hard cock into Parker's, while he kissed the smaller man. His tongue stroked inside Parker's mouth, aggressively chasing Parker's tongue, claiming every inch of his mouth.

Colton pulled away and kissed behind Parker's left ear, making the smaller man shudder. Colton slid his tongue down Parker's neck, stopping where the curve met his shoulder.

"Oh god, Colt," Parker whimpered as Colton began sucking at the base of his neck. It seemed to be Colton's favorite spot and it drove Parker crazy when Colton worked it. Colton sucked and chewed at the extra-sensitive skin, sending waves of pleasure down Parker's spine, straight to his balls. The big jock never let the dark hickeys there fade away. At least with the weather getting colder, it was easier to hide it.

Colton lifted his head, then lowered it onto Parker's chest. He took one of his nipples into his mouth and started to flick his tongue across it. It hardened instantly and Parker thought he might go insane as bursts of pleasure radiated throughout his body.

As Colton worked the other nipple, his hand slid between their bodies and unsnapped Parker's jeans. He lifted up and flicked his tongue across Parker's ear lobe. His breath was hot inside his ear canal as he whispered, "I wanna taste you, pup."

As Colton unzipped his jeans and pulled them down, Parker thought this was it. The object of his fantasies, Colton Butler, was going to suck his dick. Parker was going to just die and go to heaven. Right here, right now. He was so aroused, he was scared that he was going to shoot any second.

Colton buried his nose in the nest of dark blond curls at the base of Parker's dick. His tongue flicked out and tasted the musky flavor. He lapped at each of Parker's balls and the V of his legs. He buried his nose there, inhaling deeply. "Fuck, you smell so fucking good."

Parker's hands moved to Colton's head. He let his hands rub the short mohawk and the smooth shaved head. "Feels good, Colt." He tried to pay attention to what Colton was doing. He knew that he'd be doing the same thing to Colton very soon.

Colton's tongue slid up Parker's length and his lips captured the crown. Parker knew he wasn't very big compared to other guys he'd seen online and in the showers at school, but he thought he did alright for a guy of his small stature. He just hoped that Colton was pleased with him. As Colton's mouth slid down his shaft, enveloping him in wet heat, all concerns about his size disappeared as did any other conscious thought.

Parker bit his fist to keep from crying out. He had never felt anything so good in his life. As Colton sucked, he moved his mouth up and down, his tongue fluttering all over. Then he made a moaning and growling sound that sent vibrations through Parker's core.

"Oh god," Parker cried as his body shuddered.

Colton's free hand moved up Parker's body. His fingers found Parker's mouth and Parker took them inside and began sucking and tonguing them, mimicking what Colton was doing to his dick.

Colton pulled the fingers away and Parker felt them pressing into his crack, against his ass. Parker spread his legs wider. He knew he was acting like a total slut, but he wanted to experience everything with his boyfriend.

Colton's finger slid into Parker's virgin ass. It burned slightly at first, but the pain was quickly forgotten as Colton's head bobbed faster and he sucked harder. Colton's finger began moving in and out, twisting and turning. He wiggled the finger and tapped something inside Parker, making him buck up from the leather seat.

"Colton. Colt," he warned. "Babe, I'm coming. It's gonna shoot. Oh my god! Colt!"

Colton didn't stop, he kept working Parker. Parker bit down on his fist to keep from screaming as he emptied his nuts into Colton's hot, sucking mouth.

Parker stared up at the roof of the car. He blinked his eyes, unable to process what had just happened to him.

Colton moved back on top of Parker, pinning him down on the seat. He kissed him hard. Parker could taste the last, unswallowed remnants of his load on Colton's tongue and it drove him crazy with lust. He was dying to experience Colton the same way.

Parker broke the kiss as he reached for Colton's jeans. "I wanna suck you, Colt. I wanna make you come, too."

Colton growled in his throat and grabbed Parker. He flipped them over so that Colton was laying on his back. He unbuckled his belt and popped the buttons on his jeans. Parker gripped them and slid them down his hips.

When Colton's dick flopped up and slapped against his abs, Parker gasped. He knew that Colton was big, but he had never seen him erect.

"It's so big," he whispered.

Parker's hand was shaking when he reached for it. Colton's dick was heavy and thick and felt hot to the touch. Now that he had it in his hand, it looked even bigger. Colton's bush was grown thick and, like the rest of his body hair, was untrimmed. The dark hairs spilled down onto his sack as well. He slid his hand up and down, mesmerized by the way the foreskin slid back and forth across the head.

Parker leaned forward and gave the underside of the head a lick, causing Colton to groan. He mimicked what Colton had done, giving him the same treatment, licking his tongue up and down the shaft, then sucking each of his hairy balls.

But Colton was impatient.

"Suck me," he growled. He grabbed Parker's head and pushed it down onto his dick. "Take it in your mouth. Suck it."

The hot head of Colton's dick slid into Parker's mouth. His foreskin retracted and Parker tasted the musky sweat underneath. He let out a whimper and closed his eyes as the flavor burst across his tongue. He moved down as far as he could until he was about to gag, then pulled back up, sucking hard as he did so.

He quickly developed a rhythm. His hand stroked what he couldn't get into his mouth. Colton was right, he just needed to do what came naturally. And apparently giving Colton a blowjob was the most natural thing in the world.

He moved faster, but the hand on the back of his head slowed him down.

"Nice and slow," said Colton. "There you go. Slow and deep. Just like that..."

Parker slowed his pace. He slid down slowly until the head of Colton's cock bumped the back of his mouth. Parker choked and pulled back.

Colton groaned loudly. "Fuck... Don't stop..."

Parker had an uncontrollable urge to pleasure Colton. More than anything in the world, he wanted to make his man happy. He wanted to make him come. And when he came, he was going to let him do it in his mouth and he was going to swallow every single drop. 

Colton's hand gripped Parker's hair tighter in his fist. Parker could feel that muscular body tensing and relaxing. Colton's hand pushed his head up and down, moving just a little faster. Parker tightened his grip on Colton's dick, using more hand motion, unable to take as much with the faster rhythm.

"So fucking good, pup. Don't stop. Oh fuck, I've needed you for so long, baby. I can't hold back."

Parker opened his eyes and looked up at Colton. "Mm-hmm," he consented around Colton's dick. He didn't want Colton to hold back. Colton's brown eyes were so dark with lust, they appeared black. His hand tightened around the back of Parker's head, holding him, keeping him from pulling off.

"I'm gonna come in your mouth," Colton grunted through gritted teeth. "Swallow it for me, pup."

Parker never took his eyes off Colton as he worked his big dick with his tongue, mouth and hand. Colton's balls drew up tight. His shaft grew even harder. It swelled in his mouth.

"Don't stop. Keep going. Like that. Just like that. Fuck! I'm--!"

Colton's body bucked and his eyes fluttered closed. He grunted loudly, muttering curses between his teeth.

Parker felt the head of Colton's cock pulse against his tongue and a burst of hot, creamy liquid flooded his mouth. He swallowed as the prick jerked and shot into his mouth again and again.

Colton didn't stifle any of the grunts he made as he came. He came hard and he came loud.

Parker managed to drink all of that thick semen down. No way in hell was he going to let any of it go. It tasted way too good: musky, sweet and salty, with just a tinge of bitterness.

Colton's body continued to convulse as Parker licked and cleaned him with his tongue.

Colton slumped down against the seat and his body went limp. "Fuuucck..."

Parker finally moved up Colton's body, kissing a trail up his abs and chest, until he laid on top of that bigger body. "Mmm. I really liked doing that."

Colton chuckled lazily, his eyes half closed. "Hm. I'm glad, because you're gonna be doing it a lot from now on. You give good head, pup. Best goddamn blowjob I ever had."

Parker blushed at Colton's lewd compliments, but at the same he swelled with pride. He so wanted to make Colton happy and he had done that tonight. Feeling Colton's hard, muscular body under his made Parker's dick start to leak. He loved the feeling of all that body hair against his smooth skin. He slowly rubbed his hips back and forth and felt Colton's cock start to re-stiffen.

"Fuck, I'd love to go another round, you little stud, but I need to get you home," Colton said with a sigh. "It's getting late and I don't wanna give your parents a reason to keep you from seeing me."

Parker pouted. "I know."

Colton stroked the back of Parker's hair. "I wish I could spend all night with you."

"Me too."

The two got dressed, pulling on their shirts and buttoning up their pants. They climbed out of the backseat and Colton opened the passenger door for Parker. Colton jogged around the front of the car, but kept going, heading away from the car back to the water tower.

Parker turned in his seat and watched his boyfriend run to the base of the water tower. He spread his legs shoulder width apart, tilted his head back, and let loose a torrent of piss all over the base of one of the tower legs.

Colton slipped into the front seat after he finally finished. Seeing the look on Parker's face, he simply shrugged. "When you gotta go, you gotta go."

* * *

Once Colton dropped Parker off, he headed home. He felt damn good. Nothing could ruin his mood.

He didn't expect to see his dad still awake. The brawny cop was sitting at the kitchen table, still dressed in his brown deputy's uniform eating a bowl of cereal while reading the newspaper. He looked up from the paper when Colton stepped into the room. "How was your party, son?"

"It was great, Dad. I had a good time."

"You stay out of trouble?"

"Yeah. I'm gonna go for a run," Colton said as he began pulling off his shirt.

"Sure. Be careful and don't be out too late. Also, I need you to take care of the lawn in the morning. I want it done before we go to the pack meeting."

"I will, Dad. Goodnight if I don't see you when I get back."

Colton stepped out on to the back porch and stripped the rest of his clothes off.

He closed his eyes and dropped to all fours. His bones snapped, his muscles reconfigured.

Seconds later, the black wolf tore off into the forest.

* * *

Parker couldn't sleep. He was just too wound up after his date with Colton.

He went down to the kitchen and poured a glass of chocolate milk, and looked out into the backyard as he drank it. Looking past the pool, he stared into the forest.

The back of the subdivision bordered on a small forest. It was pitch black past the treeline. Shell was always afraid of the woods behind their houses, but Parker liked the woods. They were protected and houses would never be built there. He always liked being outside and he loved to swim at night, when it was quiet and peaceful.

Maybe a swim would relax him. He walked over to the pool's electrical box and turned on the pump, the heater and the underwater light.

He went back upstairs and pulled on his swim trunks. He grabbed a big bath towel and slipped on his bathrobe and went back downstairs, out the back door. After he dropped his robe and set the towel aside, he descended the steps into the pool.

He hissed as the cool water hit his sensitive areas. Deciding to just go for it, he dropped down so that he was neck-deep in the water.

He closed his eyes and just treaded water for a bit while his body adjusted to the temperature. He moved into a back float and stared up at the sky. As he floated around, he thought back on his date tonight. He could feel his cheeks heating up and his dick started to harden in his swim trunks.




Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 04



Colton had dropped Parker off just before curfew and they made out in his car for a bit. Colton wouldn't be able to see him the next day because he had some meeting to go to with his dad every Sunday. He said he'd call afterwards and maybe he'd be able to go out for an after-dinner snack or something, depending on the time.

As Parker recalled the memory of sucking Colton off, he let out a little moan. That was something he could easily get addicted to. Sure he loved getting sucked as well, but he really loved doing it to Colton. And Colton said he was the best. God, he could still taste Colton's come in his mouth. He needed to get a grip before he blew a load into his swim trunks. He pushed under the water and did laps until he tired himself out.

He moved over to the deep end and dropped to the bottom of the pool. He looked up at the moon through the water and felt a peace wash over him. He counted the seconds, seeing how long he could stay under the water.

A movement caught the corner of his eye. Someone was there, walking along the edge of the pool. He quickly pushed to the surface and drew in a deep breath of air.

He shook his head and rubbed his hand down his face, trying to clear the water from his eyes. "Hello?"

He turned in a one-eighty towards the diving board and gasped when he saw a big, black beastly animal standing at the edge of the pool. It was a huge, wolf-like creature. It stood there, unmoving, just staring at Parker with its coal-black eyes. It looked exactly like a wolf, but its fur was coal black and it was easily twice the size of anything he'd seen at the zoo.

Shit. Was that what was hiding in the trees? And Parker had fed it, practically inviting it to come back.

Parker's blood pounded in his ears and he was nearly hyperventilating. He floated back towards the middle of the pool. Surely the beast wouldn't jump into the water.

The wolf took a step backwards, away from the pool, towards the back fence. Its dark eyes never strayed from Parker. It then dropped to its belly and just kept watching.

"Good boy," Parker croaked. "Good wolf. Shoo. Be a good wolf and run off. Go play in the woods, back where you came from."

Parker couldn't believe he was talking to a freaking wolf. He giggled nervously. He clapped his hand over his mouth, stifling the girly noise.

The wolf tilted his head to the side, as if he was listening to Parker. His pointed ears twitched in a non-threatening way. His eyes were dark, nearly black, unreadable, but they watched Parker with a seemingly unnerving intelligence.

Spying an inflatable beach ball near the ladder, Parker slowly floated to the edge of the pool. His body was tensed, ready to push away if the wolf came closer. He grabbed the colorful ball and floated back to the middle. "Go fetch," he called as he tossed the colorful ball towards the woods.

The ball hit the top of the iron fence and then bounced into the trees.

The wolf looked back at the ball as it bounced towards the treeline. He then turned his attention back to Parker. He huffed, tilted his head, then stared back at Parker as if to say "yeah, right."

Parker couldn't help but laugh. "Okay, you're not a dog. Sorry. If I get out of the pool, you're not gonna try to eat me, are you?"

The wolf let out a snort, but otherwise didn't move.

Parker continued to stare at him. The way he was laying on his stomach, he didn't seem at all threatening. He even had his mouth open, his tongue peeking out ever so slightly, as it panted. In fact, it looked like it was smiling. Parker slowly floated backwards, towards the steps, while keeping an eye on the beast.

When he got to the steps, he slowly got out of the pool and grabbed his towel. He wrapped it around his waist and looked towards the house. If he ran as fast as he could, he could maybe get to the back door before the wolf did. If the wolf didn't chase him. If he chased him and caught him, would he maul him or kill him?

He looked back at the wolf. He hadn't moved. He was still lying on his belly, just watching.

The wolf didn't want to hurt Parker. He was just curious. That's what Parker told himself, anyway, but he somehow knew it to be true. He walked towards the wolf, trying to appear as non-threatening as possible. He stopped about halfway and squatted down. He held his hands open, palm up.

"Hey, boy. I'm not gonna hurt you. You're not gonna hurt me either, are you?"

The wolf stood up and slowly stalked towards Parker. He sniffed Parker's out-reached hand.

"Jesus, you're a big fella, aren't you?"

The wolf licked Parker's palm. The slick and raspy tongue left a trail of slobber. Parker wanted to jerk his hand away and wipe it off, but the wolf might not like a sudden move like that. Parker turned his hand over and brought it to the top of the wolf's head. The hand was shaking with nerves as he lowered it. He touched the wolf's thick fur. It was soft to the touch, much softer than he thought it would be. He rubbed around the base of an ear, scratching his fingers there. The ear twitched and the wolf leaned into Parker's hand.

"That's a good boy. Look at you. You're so beautiful," he said with wonderment in his voice. "Wow..."

The creature was truly magnificent. He was so calm, so gentle. Parker wondered if maybe he was someone's pet, or a research animal. He seemed domesticated, as if he was familiar with humans. He wasn't wearing any kind of collar though and he didn't have any ID tags in his ears. Parker squatted down in front of it, then ran his hands over the animal's neck and chest, looking for any kind of marks.

The wolf pushed forward and licked the side of Parker's face. Parker was caught off balance and stumbled back onto his butt with a laugh. The wolf straddled Parker and pushed him flat onto his back. The wolf pressed his muzzle into Parker's belly, pinning him down on the ground. He licked a trail across Parker's belly, then laid his head on Parker's chest. He nudged at Parker's necklace with his nose.

"You like that?" Parker asked as he lazily rubbed the wolf's head and back. He let out a soft sigh. "My boyfriend, Colton, gave it to me. I bet Colton would have a first class shit fit if he saw me right now. He's kinda over-protective. But I don't mind. I kinda like it. Say, are you hungry? Is that why you came back? Looking for food? Let me get you something to eat, okay boy?"

The wolf didn't want to let Parker up, but Parker gave him one last rub, then gently moved him back. As Parker pushed up to his feet, the towel dropped away. The wolf snorted and pressed his nose into the crotch of Parker's swim trunks, poking around his dick and balls.

"Hey!" Parker cried out as he covered his groin.

The wolf made an unhappy noise and Parker stepped back slowly and held out his hand in a non-threatening manner. "It's okay. You probably smell my boyfriend. Tonight we... Never mind. It's private. Okay. Let's get you something to eat. I'll be right back."

Parker pointed towards the patio door and he slowly walked backwards to the patio door. Once inside, he hurried to the fridge to find something to eat. He found a pound of sliced roast beef in one of the drawers. He opened the baggie and dumped it onto a paper plate.

When he went back outside, the wolf was gone.

* * *

Colton laid in bed with this hands clasped behind his head. He stared up at the ceiling with a smile on his face. Tonight had been the best night of his life.

He had finally got to taste Parker and he wasn't disappointed. If anything, it was even better than he imagined. Then Parker returned the favor and gave him head. It was worth the wait. His boy sucked dick like a natural. Colton's dick was the first to be inside Parker's mouth and it would be the last. Colton lazily stroked his fingertips up and down the skin of his erection as he fantasized about Parker's skilled mouth.

But the real highlight was that Parker finally saw him in his wolf form, really saw him.

Colton watched Parker like he did every night. When he went underwater and didn't come up, Colton had panicked. He jumped over the small iron fence and peered over the edge of the pool and Parker saw him.

There were no words to describe the joy at being with his mate like that. Not only was Parker not scared of him, but he touched him, rubbed him, and scratched him and talked to him. He wanted to feed him, to care for him.

He said the wolf was beautiful.

That was the precise moment when Colton Butler fell head over heels in love with Parker Montgomery.



Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 05



The next Monday morning, Parker was getting out of the shower when he thought he heard the doorbell ring. He wrapped a towel around his waist and walked out into his bedroom. He opened the bedroom door and peeked out into the hallway.

"Mom? Dad?"

The doorbell rang again. He looked back at the alarm clock on his nightstand. If it was Colton, he was really early, over a half an hour. Since his bedroom faced the backyard, he couldn't see if it was Colton at the door.

Parker gripped the towel closed around his waist and ran down the stairs. He peeked out the living room window and saw Colton's car in the driveway.

*

Colton rang the bell a second time, then leaned his shoulder against the door frame and waited. He was early, but he wanted to see his pup. He hadn't gotten a chance to see him since Saturday night. His cock started to stiffen in his jeans as he remembered fooling around with Parker in the backseat of his car.

He could hear Parker's approach and could smell that sweet scent nearing even before the front door's deadbolt clicked and the door opened a few inches.

Colton groaned at the sight before him.

Parker was clutching a towel around his waist and his trim little body glistened with water. The leather and platinum necklace was still fastened around his neck. A bead of water dripped from the wolf charm onto the middle of Parker's chest where it rolled down to his belly button.

Oh, hell.

No, Colton wasn't early. He was just on time. And he knew it wouldn't take much convincing at all to get his pup to give him a little "good morning" head. His eyes slowly slid up and down Parker's body, then returned to that wickedly sexy mouth of his. He licked his lips and grinned wolfishly. "Nice."

"You're early," Parker said with a bashful smile.

Colton stepped forward into the house, crowding into Parker's personal space. "Mm-hmm. Good morning, pup."

As Parker shut the door behind him, Colton leaned in and backed him against the door and kissed him, pushing his tongue between those lips to chase after Parker's. Parker just closed his eyes and kissed back and let Colton ravage him. When Colton broke the kiss to suck on Parker's neck, Parker squirmed away.

He pressed his hand to the middle of Colton's chest. "Colton. Just give me a few moments to get dressed."

"Don't hurry on my account," Colton said with a snicker as he followed Parker up the stairs, his eyes locked onto Parker's sexy, towel-covered ass.

Colton dropped onto Parker's bed while Parker got ready. He sat up on one elbow while he unabashedly watched the show Parker was unwittingly putting on. Who knew that watching someone brush their teeth or put on deodorant could be sexy? Colton brazenly massaged his dick through his jeans.

Parker stood in front of his dresser and pulled open the top drawer. He pulled out a pair of boxer briefs and dropped the towel.

When Colton saw Parker's bare ass, he groaned. "Fuck..."

Parker bent down and pulled up the tight little grey briefs. He looked back over his shoulder and gasped when he saw Colton leering at him. "Colton," he said with a cringe.

"C'mere, pup," Colton husked.

Parker's cheeks had pinked up bright. He held his hands in front of his rapidly growing crotch, but he obeyed Colton's command. When he reached the bed, Colton knocked Parker's hands away from his crotch.

"You shouldn't ever be embarrassed around me, Parker. You got that?"

Parker nodded, but he was looking at Colton's crotch, not at his face.

A smug grin spread across Colton's face. His big cock had created quite the bulge in his jeans. Hell, he wore a big bulge even when it was soft. Fully erect like it was right now, he must have appeared obscene to Parker.

"You wanna see it?" Colton whispered with a wicked grin as he gripped his hard-on through his jeans and shook it.

Parker nodded again.

Colton made a show of unbuckling and unzipping his jeans, teasing Parker. He pushed down the front of his boxer briefs, freeing his hard-on. It smacked against his ab muscles, leaving a spot of pre-come in the hairs there.

Parker climbed onto the bed and lay down next to Colton. Colton put his hand on the back of Parker's head. He closed his eyes and relaxed back onto the bed as Parker took his cock into his mouth and expertly sucked him off. This time, there was no hesitation, not like there was their first time.

Parker knew what he was doing and Colton could tell that Parker loved it, and that made it even better. Parker was drooling all over his dick, his spit dribbling down his shaft and pooling in his bush. He noisily sucked and slurped, moving up and down, nice and slow, taking it as deep as he could. Just like Colton liked it. Parker was a very fast learner.

That mouth, tongue and hand quickly brought Colton to the brink and with a series of grunts and groans, he shot a huge wad into Parker's mouth. Parker moaned hungrily, swallowing down every single drop.

Parker lifted his head and looked up at Colton. His face was flushed with arousal and Colton could smell it pouring off him. He looked desperate to come, but was afraid to ask. He made to get up off the bed.

No way would Colton leave him like that. "Come up here, pup."

Colton tugged at Parker, moving him so that he was on his knees next to Colton's head.

Parker's hard dick was tenting out the tight boxer briefs he wore. He had a wet spot the size of a quarter from where his boner was leaking pre-jizz.

Colton grabbed the waist of Parker's underwear and tugged them down. Parker's dick snapped up against his belly. It was red and angry, ready to shoot. Parker sucked in a breath. "Colton..."

Colton sucked the middle finger of his right hand to coat it with spit. He leaned forward and took Parker's dick into his mouth. Parker moaned and his body buckled. He grabbed the headboard to keep from sliding off the bed.

With a moan, Parker thrust his hips forward, sending his dick into the back of Colton's throat. Colton sucked hard as Parker pulled back. When Parker thrust forward again, Colton slid his slick middle finger home. Parker cried out in ecstasy and pumped his hips forward again.

Colton bobbed his head up and down Parker's cock as he finger fucked him hard. Parker was trying to stifle his noises, but those little whimpers and breathless grunts he made were a total turn-on. Parker was unabashedly fucking his face now and Colton's cock filled again, ready for a second round.

"Colton!"

Parker practically screamed into his fist as his body tensed. Colton's tongue was flooded with spurts of Parker's creamy load. He swallowed it down, sucking gently until Parker stopped moving.

Parker pulled back and stood upright. His body was trembling with the aftershocks of an intense orgasm. He was unable to look Colton in the eye. "We're gonna be late if I don't hurry."

No way in hell should Parker be embarrassed about having sex with Colton. Colton was going to put a stop to that right now. He swung his legs over the bed and stood up, hitching up his boxers and jeans as he did so. He grabbed Parker and pulled him close. He cupped Parker's face in his hands and kissed him slowly and tenderly. Breaking the kiss, he rested his forehead on Parker's. "Open your eyes, pup."

Those deep emerald eyes opened and stared straight into Colton's soul.

"You're amazing," Colton whispered as he caressed Parker's cheek with his thumb. "You're completely adorable. You're fucking sexy. And you're all mine. But you know what else?"

Parker shook his head but never moved his eyes away from Colton's.

Colton let out a small breath. He leaned in as if to tell Parker the biggest secret in the world, then said, "I'm yours."

Parker's eyes went glassy with tears. He threw his arms around Colton's neck and clung tight to him.

Colton closed his eyes and breathed in Parker's scent, letting it surround him. A calm washed over him and he felt like everything was right in the world.

* * *

The Timberwolves won another game on Friday. Their rivals had the home field advantage, but the Wolves kept them at bay. With a minute to spare, Wolves wide receiver Curtis Lakewood caught a pass from Trey in the end zone and they won the game 14-7, bringing them one game closer to the playoffs.

Parker stepped out of the visitor's locker room freshly showered and found Jed waiting for him just outside the door. The big man was also freshly showered, wearing a sweatshirt with a pair of shorts and sandals. The night air was a little chilly, but Jed didn't seem affected by it.

"Hi. Where's Colton?" Parker asked as he looked around. Colton usually waited for him in the locker room.

"He and Trey had to meet with Coach. Team Captain stuff."

"Oh. Well, I don't need a bodyguard, you know," Parker laughed. "I can get to the bus by myself."

"Just doing my job," Jed said with a grin. He grabbed Parker's equipment bag from him and motioned with his head. "Let's go."

Parker walked with Jed to the bus. He saw Shell getting onto the second bus and he waved to her before Jed bumped into him from behind.

Parker looked over his shoulder and rolled his eyes. "Watch where you're going, you big lug."

"Then don't stop on the steps, little lug."

"Parker!" Colton called out from the last seat in the back of the bus. "I saved you a seat," he added with a wicked grin.

Parker couldn't help but blush a little bit as Jed chuckled behind him. He made his way down the aisle of the yellow school bus. He knew that a couple of guys were looking at him funny, but he couldn't bring himself to care.

"Cocksucker," Seth muttered as he walked past.

Parker ignored him and stepped over the foot meant to trip him.

The sound of slapping flesh made Parker turn and look back over his shoulder. Seth was holding his face, directing a look of pure rage at Jed.

Jed tried to look apologetic. "Oh, my bad, dude," he said unconvincingly. "I was stretching my arms. I didn't mean to smack your face."

Seth was obviously not buying Jed's fake apology. He jumped at Jed, but he was pulled back by TJ and Curtis.

"Knock it off!" Coach Carswell yelled from the front of the bus. "Keep moving, Stone," he barked at Jed.

When Parker got to the last seat, Colton slid out. Parker sat down and Colton slid back into the seat, pinning Parker against the back corner. "Hey," he growled wolfishly.

"Hi," Parker whispered back.

Jed plopped his big ass down into the last seat directly across the aisle. Colton turned to him. "What happened back there?"

"Seth was being a homophobic asshole. I took care of it."

Parker could feel Colton getting pissed off. Before Colton could get worked up, Parker grabbed his boyfriend's hand. "It's okay. Don't stress over it. I don't care what he thinks. And Jed took care of it anyway. Okay?"

Colton stroked Parker's hand with his thumb. His brown eyes searched Parker's and he let out a breath and appeared to let the stress go. With a smile, he nodded at Parker.

As the bus pulled out of the visiting school's parking lot and headed for home, Parker leaned into Colton and rested his head on the bigger teens shoulder.

Colton slipped his arm around Parker's shoulders. He nuzzled his nose along the top of Parker's ear, then sniffed his hair. "I got to see you today, pup. The end of your half-time show."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. You were so damn cute the way you were dancing out there in that wolf suit." He leaned in a little closer and lowered his voice. "You made my dick hard."

"Your dick is always hard," Parker whispered back.

Colton laughed. "True. But it's your fault."

"You guys played really hard today. You deserved that win."

"Yeah. Trey's the man." Colton leaned forward and playfully smacked the side of Trey's head, who was sitting in the seat in front of them texting someone on his phone. Colton turned back to Parker. "Can you hang out tomorrow?"

"Saturday? Sure. What do you have planned?"

"I have to do some chores around the house and then I need to work out. Wanna go running with me at the school track?"

"I'm not much of a runner. I like swimming more."

"We can get some laps in, then we can swim."

"You want me to both run laps and swim? I'm not some robot."

"You can do it, pup. You're stronger than you look."

They talked quietly for a while longer until the motion of the bus along with Colton's body heat lulled Parker into sleep.

Parker woke sometime later. The bus was quiet. Parker lifted his head from Colton's shoulder and wiped the drool from his mouth. He sniffled and wiped the sleep from his eyes.

"You okay?" Colton whispered.

Parker nodded. "Yeah. I didn't mean to fall asleep on you."

"It's okay. I liked it." Colton leaned in and kissed Parker gently.

Parker rested against Colton. He slid his hand up Colton's thigh and massaged it.

Colton took Parker's hand and slid it up the rest of the way to his crotch. Parker squeezed the hard length he found there.

"Need you, pup," Colton whispered into his ear. Colton untied his shorts and pulled them down enough so that Parker could get his hand inside.

Parker laid his head on Colton's shoulder as he slid his hand up and down Colton's uncut dick. He was on alert, making sure that no one could see what they were doing. His eyes drifted across the aisle to Jed. The big guy was sitting in the seat lengthwise with his head leaned back against the window. He had his hands folded across his stomach and appeared to be asleep.

God, he loved touching his boyfriend. Touching. Licking. Sucking.

Parker listened to Colton's quiet breathing as he jerked him off. He put his lips to Colton's ear. "I wanna suck you."

"I'm close." Colton's breathing hitched and he moved his hand to the back of Parker's neck. "No one's looking," Colton whispered as he applied pressure to the back of Parker's head.

Parker looked around again before he let Colton push his head down. As the head of Colton's dick hit his lips, he parted them and allowed his man inside his mouth. He sucked hard as he bobbed his head and hand up and down several times before Colton's body went rigid. Colton sucked in a breath and held it. Parker's mouth was suddenly filled with Colton's hot load and he swallowed down every drop.

When Colton finished, he lifted his head and tucked Colton back into his pants. As he sat up, he made contact with Jed's wide-open eyes. Jed smirked at him, gave him a nod of approval, and then closed his eyes.

He looked away and wiped his mouth and chin with his hand. He was all kinds of embarrassed that Jed had watched him give Colton a blowjob, but it also kinda turned him on. Not that it was something he'd like to repeat. He decided he wasn't really into audiences. He sure as hell knew better than to tell Colton. His boyfriend would beat the crap out of Jed.

Colton nuzzled his nose in Parker's hair, his lips close to his ear as he whispered, "Do you know what a rush it is when you submit to me? When you do what I tell you without question? It makes me feel strong... powerful..."

"I'd do anything for you, Colton," Parker whispered back.

Parker leaned in for a kiss.

The bus's overhead lights suddenly came on, making everyone groan and stir awake. Parker moved upright, sliding away from Colton as the bus rolled to a stop.

Coach stood up and clapped his hands together. "Thirty minute dinner break. Don't be late getting back."

Jed craned his neck and looked out the emergency back door's window to see where they were. "Yes," he said with a fist pump. "I am gonna fuck some tacos up."

* * *

Late the next afternoon, Colton picked up Parker to go running. Colton was wearing a black, sleeveless UnderArmour shirt that showed off his big muscles. His basketball shorts were baggy but hugged his muscular bubble butt just right. He was already a little sweaty from having worked out.

They drove to the school so that Colton could go for his run on the cross-country track.

Colton held back a little so that Parker could keep up. Parker was pleasantly surprised to find that he wasn't having any trouble keeping up with his boyfriend. After Colton got in the required miles, he wanted to play.

"Run, pup."

Parker ran as fast as he could, laughing in between breaths. Colton was chasing him along the asphalt cross-country track that wound through the woods next to the school. Parker really liked this playful side of the usually so serious Colton.

"I'm coming, Parker," Colton growled low from somewhere behind. "You can't run from me. I will always find you."

Parker laughed and pulled out an extra burst of speed. He rounded the corner as the trail turned back towards the school stadium.

"Gotcha!"

Parker screamed in laughter as Colton jumped from behind a tree and grabbed him. Colton lifted him up and easily tossed the smaller man over his shoulder, carrying him fireman style.

"Hey!" Parker shouted between his giggles. "Put me down!"

Parker slapped at Colton's broad back and muscular ass, trying to get the big jock to set him down. Colton snickered and walked the trail back to the stadium.

"Colt!" Parker squirmed, trying to get himself down.

"Be still!" Colton barked as he slapped his meaty hand across Parker's upturned ass cheek.

With the exception of one particular body part, Parker's entire body went limp as he obeyed Colton's demand. He let Colton carry him all the way back to the stadium parking lot where his car was parked. Surprisingly, he found that he didn't mind being carried. Not when he had such a nice view of Colton's backside.

Colton set Parker down next to his car. His hand slid behind the smaller man's neck. He tilted Parker's head back as his mouth descended.

Parker closed his eyes and whimpered as Colton's tongue pushed into his mouth. Parker let Colton ravish him right there in public. He just couldn't say no.

Colton dipped his head and laid his forehead against the top of Parker's head. "I liked that. Running with you, playing chase."

"Me too. It was fun."

"I wanna run with you again. You'll run with me again next Saturday?"

Parker nodded. "Okay."

Colton's hands slid down Parker's back and cupped his ass. He gave the round cheeks a gentle squeeze. "Let's go for a drive," Colton whispered as he pulled away.

Parker nodded, knowing that Colton wanted to park somewhere where they could be alone. He was pretty sure they'd end up at the old water tower. "I don't have to be home until ten."

"I gotta take a piss first."

"Okay. Me too."

Parker followed Colton towards the stadium. Parker turned towards the bathrooms but stopped when he realized that Colton wasn't with him. He watched Colton walk under the bleachers.

Parker jogged to catch up with his boyfriend. "Colt? What are you doing? The bathrooms are right over there."

"I know. I need to mark my territory." Colton said it with a laugh, though Parker wasn't sure if he was really joking.

Parker shook his head. "You're crazy. You know that, right?"

"Yup. C'mon."

Parker followed Colton towards the middle of the bleachers. He cautiously stepped around the paper wrappers and empty cups, not wanting to get anything gross on his shoes. "Ew," he moaned when he almost stepped on a used condom.

When Colton found what appeared to be the perfect spot, he pulled at the tie string of his shorts and yanked the front down. His flaccid dick bobbed into view.

Jesus.

"C'mon, pup. Whip it out."

Parker looked around, making sure that no one would be able to see them. "This is crazy," he whispered.

"No one's around."

Parker pulled down the front of his shorts and stood next to Colton. He looked down and watched Colton pull the foreskin back from the head of his dick. The thick tube jerked and a strong, wide stream burst free. The sight and sound caused Parker's own bladder to let loose.




Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 05



Colton turned his body, crossing his stream with Parker's. That made Parker laugh and Colton joined in.

"It's like Ghostbusters," Parker snickered.

Parker finished with a shudder. He gave his dick a couple of shakes and pulled his shorts up and let the waistband fall back with a snap. Colton was still pissing, the last of his urine splashing all over Parker's puddles.

Once finished, Colton shook his cock a few times and stood there, making no effort to put it away.

Parker couldn't take his eyes off it. He watched Colton's fingers slowly stroke the thick fleshy tube. The foreskin slid forward and covered the head before he pulled it back. It grew thicker and longer.

Parker looked up at Colton, who was watching him intently. His dark eyes were dilated with lust. Parker knew what his boyfriend wanted, because he wanted it too. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Colton turned towards him and put his hand on the back of Parker's head, pushing him down into a squat. Colton let go of his dick, placing his hands on his hips.

The head of Colton's dick was wet, but Parker didn't care. He pulled Colton's foreskin back to expose the head. He leaned forward and steadied himself with his hands on Colton's hips and took that big dick into his mouth. He buried his nose in Colton's sweaty bush while the warm flesh throbbed and grew in Parker's mouth, swelling to its full size within a few seconds. Parker gripped the girthy shaft in his hand and began moving his head back and forth.

Colton's hand moved to the back of Parker's head. "Nice and slow, pup," he whispered. "Take it as deep as you can. Slow and deep... just like that... yeah, use your hand too..."

Parker ran his tongue up and down the thick shaft. He gripped it in his hand as he licked and lapped at Colton's sweaty balls. "Mmm... I love sucking your dick."

"I love you sucking my dick. You're so damn good at it. You look so fucking sexy on your knees in front of me."

Colton pressed his cock head to Parker's lips and pushed forward. He held Parker's head in his hands as he thrust short jabs into Parker's mouth, deep, but not deep enough to choke his mate.

"Let me fuck your mouth," Colton growled. "Keep sucking, just like that. Fuck, you're gonna get my load."

Doing as he was told, it wasn't but a few minutes before Parker was rewarded with Colton's load. Those hot bursts of come were like heaven to him. He greedily swallowed down every burst, every drop.

Colton pulled Parker to his feet. He cupped the smaller boy's groin, squeezing the base of Parker's dick, making Parker's knees buckle.

"Let's get back to the car. We'll find a spot and take care of this bad boy."

* * *

Parker's body was on fire. Colton was on top of him, thrusting and rubbing against him. Parker's naked body stuck against the leather of Colton's backseat, but he didn't care. The friction of his boyfriend's furry muscles, the heat of that huge dick against his, the feel of his lips and tongue and goatee whiskers against his neck... all of the sensations bombarded Parker, sending him reeling in a spiral of pleasure.

Colton's mouth found a nipple and sucked on it. That tongue flicked and swirled in between pulls of his mouth, driving Parker closer and closer. After giving its twin the same treatment, Colton kissed his way back up to Parker's neck.

Colton lifted his head from Parker's neck and stared down at him with an intensity that took the boy's breath away.

Parker locked his legs tighter around Colton's hips, bucking up against Colton, desperately needing the friction to make him come. The big jock thrust harder, grinding his cock against Parker's.

"I wanna fuck you," Colton whispered huskily. "I wanna be buried balls deep inside your hot little ass. I wanna shoot my load inside you and make you scream my name. And then I'm gonna do it again and again until you can't fucking walk."

"Oh god," Parker moaned desperately. "I want that, too. I want you to be my first, Colton."

"Your only, Parker!" Colton snarled as he thrust hard against Parker's body. "If anyone else touches you, pup, I will kill them. You. Are. Mine."

The possessive tone of Colton's voice and the heated look in his eyes pushed Parker over the edge. "I'm coming, Colt. Oh god!"

Parker bucked underneath Colton's thrusting body and his fingers dug into his boyfriend's back as he filled the tight space between them with his warm spunk. Colton threw his head back and roared.

Parker felt the never-ending bursts of thick, scalding hot cream pulsing across his belly and his chest and he closed his eyes and let Colton cover him with his juices.

Colton collapsed onto Parker, his over-heated body still shuddering and convulsing. Parker held him tight as Colton's arms moved around him, squeezing him.

"Mmm," Parker moaned softly. He loved the feeling of Colton shooting all over him, almost as much as when he shot into his mouth. Colton shot really big loads and his come was so warm and tasted so good. Colton seemed to radiate heat and Parker liked that about him. He would never be cold when Colton was around.

Parker sighed and closed his eyes.

They lay like that for a while, trying to catch their breath. Besides their quiet pants, the only other noise was the soft sounds of the radio. The air in the car was thick with the smell of sex and the windows were fogged over from the heat of their bodies.

Parker could easily find himself falling asleep with Colton.

A sudden flash of light had Parker blinking and covering his eyes. An object tapped against the car window. Parker gasped when he saw a man shining a flashlight into the car.

"Police. Step out of the car. Let's go."

"Fuck," Colton muttered as he scrambled to pull his shorts on. "Just stay here. He's pack. I'll get rid of him." He grabbed his t-shirt and wiped his chest and stomach with it, then tossed it aside.

"He's what?" Parker whispered as he tugged his pants up, not bothering to find his underwear.

Colton winced, not happy with his choice of words. "Shit. He's--just stay here."

Parker grabbed Colton's shirt and used it to wipe the cooled, drying spunk off his body. "Crap," he muttered. The shirt wasn't doing much. He was just smearing the semen into his skin.

Damn, Colton shot really big loads.

Colton's chest and stomach hair was matted down in spots. It was totally obvious as to what it was, making Parker panic a little bit. They were about to be arrested for having sex in public. His parents were going to kill him.

Colton motioned for him to stay down as he got out of the car, dressed only in his shorts, and shut the door behind him. Parker laid down flat in the seat, trying to hide from the cop.

"Deputy Green," Colton said with a fake cheeriness. "What can I help you with?"

"This area is off-limits, Colton. I'm gonna have to give you a ticket and call it in."

"Aw, come on Deputy. You don't wanna do that."

Parker jumped when the metal flashlight tapped the car again. Deputy Green raised his voice. "Miss, I need you to step out of the car, please. Come on. Now."

Parker took a deep breath and let it out slowly. He pushed open the car door and climbed out, tugging down the front of his shirt as he stood upright. He moved slightly behind Colton and looked up at the cop. He knew that he was blushing deep red from humiliation. The cop probably thought that Colton had just fucked him, and it wasn't far from the truth.

"Uh, um, oh," Deputy Green stuttered. "You... Fuck, you're a guy."

Colton made a slight growling noise in his chest at the cop's words.

Parker was starting to feel uncomfortable under the deputy's gaze. If he didn't know better, he'd say the cop was undressing him with his eyes. Parker ran a shaky hand through his hair to smooth it down as he lowered his eyes. He had to stifle a gasp when he saw the tell-tale bulge growing in the deputy's uniform pants. Parker quickly dropped his eyes to the officer's feet.

Colton took a step forward, moving in front of Parker, blocking his view of the cop.

"Deputy Green. Bob," Colton said calmly. "You can see how I would want to keep this a secret. I would really appreciate it if you didn't say anything to my father or Sheriff Forrest. You keep my secret, and I'll keep yours." Colton's voice was calm, but there was a clear warning in it.

Parker was stunned that Colton was talking to the cop that way. They were surely about to be arrested and dragged down to the station.

Deputy Green cleared his throat nervously. "Okay, Colton. Sure. You best get on home now. And um... don't come up here again." He cleared his throat again. "Okay?"

"Of course, Deputy. You never saw me here. And I never saw you."

"Right." Deputy Green turned and went back to his police car.

"Say hello to Mrs. Green for me," Colton called out.

The cop's steps faltered for a split second, then he got into his car.

Parker looked back at his boyfriend, mouth agape. "Holy cow," Parker whispered. "How did you do that?"

Colton stared at the retreating cop car. His face was red, his hands were fisted and shaking, and he was grinding his jaw.

Parker reached out and touched Colton's hand, looking at him with concern. "Are you okay?" he asked.

Colton turned around and hugged Parker. He pushed him back against the car, slanted his head and pressed his mouth against Parker's, pushing his tongue into his mouth and taking the smaller man's mouth in a feral, aggressive kiss. Parker had no choice but to submit.

"You're mine," Colton growled.

Parker looked into Colton's wild eyes and nodded. "Yes."

Colton grunted, and then attacked the base of Parker's neck. He sucked and chewed at the skin there until he brought up another hickey and left a fresh set of teeth impressions.

"Colt," Parker grunted. He gripped Colton tight to keep from falling to the ground in a puddle as he let the big man maul him.

When Colton seemed to be satisfied that Parker was marked sufficiently, he dropped his forehead on Parker's shoulder.

Parker tenderly stroked the bristled hair on the back of Colton's head. "Feel better?" he asked quietly.

"We better go, pup," Colton finally said. "But I gotta take a piss first."

"Okay."

Parker pressed his lips to the side of Colton's neck, then his cheek.

After Colton relieved himself against the base of the water tower, he got back into the car. Parker leaned in for a kiss, which Colton happily obliged.

* * *

Parker pulled a stack of dishes from the cupboard and shut it. He grabbed silverware for four place settings and set it on top of the plates.

"Use the nice plates, Parker."

"Oh. Right. Sure, Mom."

Parker put their everyday plates back into the cupboard and grabbed the "fancy" ones instead. He was excited about having Colton over for dinner, but he was nervous, too. He really wanted his parents to like his boyfriend.

After setting the table, he stared out the window into the back yard. He hadn't seen the wolf again since the other night. He had meant to tell Colton about it, but there were always people around or they were busy doing... stuff. Parker felt his face flush at the memory of the last time he saw the big jock, just last night. They had practically done it in the back seat of Colton's car.

The doorbell pulled him from his memories.

"I got it," he called out.

He hurried to the front door and opened it for his man.

"Hi," Parker whispered.

"Hi, yourself," Colton replied.

"Come on in."

Colton looked back and forth and when he saw they were alone, he leaned down and gave Parker a quick kiss on the lips, then rubbed his goatee on the tip of Parker's nose.

Parker led Colton to the kitchen. His mother was pulling a bag of steamed vegetables from the microwave.

Kate Montgomery looked up as they walked in. "Colton, it's good to see you again."

"You too, Mrs. Montgomery."

"Parker, why don't you go get your father? Dinner will be ready in just a minute."

Parker's dad walked in, tucking his BlackBerry into his belt holster. "I thought I heard the doorbell." He held out his hand to Colton. "Barney Montgomery."

"I'm Colton Butler. Nice to meet you, Mr. Montgomery."

Colton shook Barney's outstretched hand. Parker's dad seemed to flinch at the strength of Colton's handshake. The older man turned his gaze away from Colton as he pulled his hand away. Parker couldn't help but smile a little bit. His dad had a bit of a Napoleon complex and wasn't easily intimidated. The fact that Colton made him unsettled made Parker... proud.

They had just started eating when Colton spoke. "Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery, are you going to be able to make it to the fall festival this weekend?"

Parker looked up and glanced at his parents. "That's the school's code for Halloween, but sanitized for our protection."

"I have work to do in the office," Barney said before glancing back down at his phone.

"I'm on a new case, so I probably won't be able to make it," Kate echoed.

"Well, it's for a good cause," Colton pressed. "The boosters are trying to raise money for our trip to state. You know, our last home game is coming up. You should come see Parker. The crowd loves him, and he kills at half-time."

"Colton," Parker mumbled, kicking his foot under the table.

"We'll see," Kate said, closing the subject.

Dinner wasn't terribly awkward. It went a lot better than Parker thought it would. He was sure that Colton was on what he thought was his best behavior. He was laying on the charm pretty thick, trying to engage Parker's parents in small talk. Parker's father didn't seem to be buying it. Even so, Parker judged the dinner a success.

After Parker and Colton cleaned up the dishes, they went out to the back deck.

"Nice pool," Colton said.

"Yeah, it's pretty nice. It's not real big, but I like to do laps and it works for that."

"You're in great shape, pup."

"Not like you. You're built like a Greek god."

"You're just right. As far as I'm concerned, you're perfect."

Parker wasn't fishing for a compliment, but he was happy to get it. "Do you wanna swim for a bit?"

"Sure. Wait -- it's heated, right?"

"Yeah."

"Good. I wouldn't want to freeze my nuts off." Colton wiggled his eyebrows at Parker. "Ah, shit. I don't have a swim suit."

"You can borrow one of mine."

Colton raised an eyebrow and looked down at Parker. "No offense, pup, but you're a little guy."

"I have a couple of big and baggy ones. They might fit."

"Okay."

After Parker turned on the pool pump and the heater, Colton followed him up the stairs to his bedroom.

Parker rummaged through his drawers and found a pair of board shorts that were way too big for him. He handed them to Colton, who was already stripped down naked.

Parker nearly swallowed his tongue. His boyfriend had zero sense of modesty. Parker wanted to scrape his fingers down through the dark curls of hair on that magnificent chest. He wanted to slide his tongue along the grooves of his sculpted eight-pack abs. And, my god, that beast hanging between his legs...

"What are you waiting for, pup?" Colton asked as he struggled to hike the board shorts up.

"You're all naked," Parker muttered as he turned around and started to undress.

"Yeah. I kinda have to get naked to change shorts. Besides, it's nothing you haven't already seen."

Parker turned around quickly and pulled up his swim trunks. When he turned around his jaw dropped.

"They're pretty tight," Colton said as he tugged at the crotch of the skin-tight shorts. He tugged at the hem of each leg, trying to give himself a little more room in the crotch.

"Uh, yeah. I can see the outline of your junk."

"Like I said, it's nothing you haven't already seen." Colton dropped his voice to a whisper. "Or tasted."

"Colt," Parker warned. "My parents are home."

The blushing teen grabbed a pair of towels from his bathroom and the pair made their way back downstairs and out to the pool.

Colton ran around to the deep end and jumped in, cannonball style, with a loud "woop!"

Parker descended the stairs slowly, getting used to the water. He yelped when Colton swooped in and yanked him into the water. He came up sputtering and laughing, "You're a jerk!"

Colton laughed and took off. His big body moved clumsily through the water and Parker easily caught him. Parker climbed onto his back and managed to dunk him under the water. Colton jumped out of the water, ran to the diving board and did another cannonball, landing right next to Parker. Parker let out a yelp in surprise as Colton's splash doused his face.

"Truce," Parker sputtered.

Colton smiled happily. "I win. I think that deserves a kiss."

Parker looked around and moved close to Colton and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

Parker rubbed his fingers around the outline of Colton's wolf tattoo, then pressed them to the wolf necklace around his neck.

"I saw a wolf," Parker said. "A real wolf."

Colton tilted his head and furrowed his brows. "Yeah? Where?"

"In the backyard, just over there."

"No shit. Did you call animal control or something?"

"No. Actually, I petted him and played with him a little. I think he's a research animal or something. He was really comfortable around people. He was huge and all black. He was beautiful, Colton. The most magnificent creature I have ever seen. I wish you could have seen him. I know he's a wild animal and all, but he was so gentle."

Colton grinned. "You've only seen him the one time?"

"Yeah. I think he lives close, though, because a couple of times I thought I saw him hiding by the trees." Parker studied Colton for a moment. "I thought you'd be upset."

"Why?"

"You're kind of... No, not 'kind of.' You are very over-protective of me."

Colton chuckled. "That I am." Colton gave Parker a quick kiss. "Let's race."

"Okay. Go!" Parker shouted as he took off.

"Cheater," Colton growled.

They swam several laps, until Colton gave up. He couldn't beat Parker. Parker was a more experienced swimmer, plus he was smaller and lighter.

"I win," Parker said. "Again." He was smiling and panting, quite pleased with himself.

Colton shrugged. "Whatever."

Parker snickered. "Sore loser."

"I'm not a sore loser," Colton growled. "I like to win. You're good. You should have joined the swim team. Why didn't you?"

"I was going to, but... Well, last year there were rumors about me. The coach didn't let me try out. He said I was too disruptive." Parker didn't say anything for a moment, then he looked up into Colton's eyes. "You heard them when you moved here, I'm sure."

"The first time I heard someone call you a fag behind your back, I beat the shit out of him."

Parker blinked in surprise, his mouth agape. "You did?"

"I did. And he deserved it."

Again Parker was surprised. Was Colton talking about that fight with Seth last year? Had Colton fought Seth over Parker?

"But you didn't need me to fight for you. You held your head high and didn't let them beat you. They called you names and you lifted your chin and said 'yeah, I am, so what?' That's courage. I am so proud of you, pup."

Parker's smile dropped and he blinked, staring at Colton in surprise. "You are?"

"Hell, yeah. You're amazing."

Parker's grin lit up the yard. "Thanks."

The corner of Colton's mouth turned up. "But since I let you win, you know what that means? That means you have to put out."

"You didn't let me win. I beat you fair and sq--"

Colton pinned Parker against the wall of the pool's deep end, just under the diving board, and kissed him, taking the words of protest from his mouth. Colton's strong arms held onto the concrete edge of the pool while Parker's hands gripped Colton's trim waist.

Parker breathed in soft pants as he stared into his bigger boyfriend's dark eyes.

Parker's eyes closed as Colton leaned in once more. Colton's tongue slid into Parker's willing mouth. Colton slowly ground his hips against Parker, rubbing his erection against Parker's.




Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 05



They were so caught up in making out, they missed the approaching footsteps.

"Ahem."

Colton pulled away from Parker and began treading water. Parker looked up at his father and wanted to sink underneath the water. Maybe the drain would open up and suck him in.

"It's getting late," Barney said in short, clipped tones. "Time for your... friend... to go home."

Barney's eyes cut disapprovingly towards Colton, before he turned on his heels and went back into the house.

"I'm sorry, pup," Colton whispered. "I just lose control when I'm around you."

"It's okay. I have the same problem."

They got out of the pool and dried off. Parker couldn't help but notice the outline of Colton's semi-erect cock in the way-too-small trunks. It looked painful. His wet chest hair clung to his pec muscles. Parker watched droplets of water drip down amongst the hair on his chest and abs. He wanted to lick the water away, then drop to his knees and suck Colton off.

Parker and Colton went inside, past his father, who was standing in the kitchen sipping a cup of coffee while reading email on his BlackBerry.

Once upstairs, they stripped off their swimsuits.

"God, you look hot," Parker moaned as he took in Colton's perfect body. He could never get enough of seeing his boyfriend naked.

Parker's eyes on his body had Colton's cock pulsing back to full erection within seconds. Colton stepped forward, his voice dropped to a whisper. "Do you think we have time to take care of this?" He pressed his cock into Parker's belly. "I can be quick. You got me close out there."

Parker nodded and dropped down to his knees. He gripped his own dick as he grabbed Colton's. Colton was leaking copious amounts of pre-come and Parker quickly scooped away the sweet, dripping liquid with his tongue. No sooner had he taken Colton into his mouth and started to suck and stroke when he heard his dad calling from the bottom of the stairs.

"Parker."

Colton pulled Parker to his feet. He spit into his palm and grabbed Parker's dick. Parker reciprocated. They kissed madly and passionately as they stroked each other. It didn't take more than a few seconds for Colton's skilled hand to bring Parker to a quick climax. As Parker's load spurted all over Colton's hand, Colton groaned into Parker's mouth. Bursts of hot ropey come splattered against their bellies.

They wiped down with the towels and pulled their clothes on just as the bedroom door opened.

"It's time for Colton to go, Parker," he said. He frowned at the pair, then turned and walked away, making a point to leave the bedroom door wide open.

"I'm sorry," Parker whispered to his boyfriend, feeling embarrassed and humiliated.

"Don't be sorry, pup."

"I'll walk you out."

"One day we'll have our own place. Just the two of us. Then no one will bother us."

Parker looked up at Colton with the happiest smile on his face. Colton talked like they had a future together.

* * *

Parker looked up from his desk when his door opened and then closed. God, he wished his dad would learn to knock. He marked his place in his civics book and shut it.

Barney's cheeks were red with what seemed to be embarrassment. He couldn't look Parker in the eye. He stepped forward and handed Parker a stack of papers.

Parker looked at the sheet on top which had a diagram of the male reproductive system. He prayed the floor would open and swallow him whole. They already had the 'sex talk' when he was thirteen. When his dad barged in on him jerking off. God, he wanted to die then and he'd sooner die now than talk to his dad about this.

Barney cleared his throat. "Is he--" His voice croaked. "Are you..."

"Oh my god, Dad, please don't," Parker pleaded, so not wanting to have this conversation.

Barney let out a deep breath, his voice turning to steel. "Guys like Colton Butler want one thing and they'll do anything to get it. Don't fool yourself into thinking he gives a damn about you. I'm not gonna forbid you to see him, because I know that'll just drive you right to him. But I want you to really think about this. Think about your reputation. Do you want the town to think of you as some punk's bitch? Read the stuff I printed out."

His father left his room, shutting the door behind him.

That was probably the longest conversation he had ever had with his dad since he was a kid.

Parker did think about it, though. He knew that his dad was wrong. Colton Butler did care about Parker and frankly, he didn't care what the town thought of him. He only cared what Colton thought of him.

He flipped the page, noting the photo of some unfortunate man's disease-riddled junk. "Oh my god, gross."

He shuddered as he tossed the papers into his trash can.

* * *

Parker was catching a ride with Shell to the school's fall festival. He left the house, tucking the lanyard with his keys into his pocket. He double-checked that he had his wallet and phone, then walked next door to Shell's house.

The door opened as he rang the doorbell.

"Ready?" she asked.

"Yup."

They had barely got on the road before she started in on Parker. "So, how come you're not going with your boyfriend?" she asked, saying the word "boyfriend" in a mocking, sing-song manner.

"He's got some meeting thing, then he's going to meet us there."

"What kind of meeting?"

"I don't know. I never really asked. He has it every Sunday, but this week it's on Saturday for some reason."

"Really? That's weird."

"Not really. It's something he does with his dad. I think it's kind of cool. He's always doing stuff with his dad, like camping and fishing." Parker sat quiet for a moment. "I can't remember the last time my dad did something with me."

"Let's change the subject. That is way too depressing. So... Hooker, dish. Has Colton blown out your back yet?"

"Oh my god. That is so none of your business." Parker shook his head while laughing. "And don't call me 'hooker'! That's worse than 'girl'."

Shell laughed. "That's a big fat 'no'. But that happy, dopey look that Colton walks around with tells me he's getting a little something-something."

"I am not going there. And... well, I'll say this: there's nothing 'little' about it."

Shell shook her head and laughed. "You are a straight up ho, with your ho-ish ass. And do you own a sweatshirt of your own?"

"Colton gave me his hoodie to wear. I like it. It's comfy. Leave me alone."

The fall festival was held outside town at the Johnson farm.

The corn field had been turned into a maze. Volunteers were selling pumpkins in the pumpkin patch. Booths with carnival games were set up along a main strip. Food trucks sold the typical county fair food. All of the parents and booster volunteers were dressed up like farmers.

They drew in a pretty big crowd. Parker and Shell walked through the main drag, taking everything in.

One of the football players and his girlfriend stopped Shell to say "hello." Parker waved and smiled politely. Not part of the conversation, he stood by and looked around and people watched.

The hairs on the back of Parker's neck stood up and a feeling of unease suddenly washed over him. He looked around, sure he was being watched. His eyes darted around, trying to find the source of the weird feeling. A man stood in the shadows, near the corn field, behind a stack of hay bales. From what he could make out, Parker could see that the man was tall and muscular, built like a football player. Parker couldn't see the guy's face or any details about him, but he just knew that the man was staring at him.

"Parker?"

Parker nearly jumped out of his skin when Shell put her hand on his arm. "What's wrong?"

When he looked back towards the corn field, the guy was gone. He shook his head, trying to clear the creepy feeling. "I don't know. It was nothing."

As they began walking, Parker glanced over his shoulder again. There was no one there, but he was still a little bit creeped out.

Parker and Shell had made a circle around the farm grounds, stopping and chatting with several friends along the way.

They ran into a small group of jocks, who seemingly arrived to the festival at the same time. Colton, Jed and Trey followed up behind them.

Shell leaned closer to Parker, her eyes trained on one of the guys. "What do you think of Curtis?"

Parker looked over at Curtis Lakewood, walking with a couple of other guys. The wide receiver was new to their school this year. Curtis had smooth brown skin and his hair was little more than stubble. He was quite handsome and Parker knew from seeing him in the locker room that he had a nice, well-toned body.

Curtis was watching Shell closely.

"He's good looking. He's got nice arms," Parker said with a shrug, but his friend didn't seem to be listening. She was too busy staring back.

Whatever.

Parker's attention was torn back to Colton, who was coming up behind Curtis, flanked by Jed and Trey. Damn, Colton looked good in those tight jeans and black boots. He had been growing his hair out and it was at that awkward spiky phase, but it still worked on Colton.

Colton narrowed his dark eyes, looking from Curtis back to Parker. He was clearly not happy.

Parker smirked at his boyfriend's jealousy. He tipped his head towards Shell and Colton relaxed his frown.

"Hey, Parker. Hey, Shell," Colton said as he moved to possessively put an arm around Parker's shoulders. "You guys know Parker and Shell?" Colton asked Curtis and his buddies.

"How you doing?" Curtis asked Shell.

"I'm doing good," she said with a smile that was uncharacteristically shy.

"You wanna grab a snack?" he asked her, his eyes never leaving hers.

"That'd be nice," she said. She walked away with Curtis, not even glancing back Parker's way.

"Goodbye to you too," Parker called out with a light laugh.

A huge mountain of a man walked up, the biggest man Parker had ever seen. Parker took a subconscious step closer to Colton. The scowling man was followed by three younger boys of various ages, all of them little clones of the big man. All of the boys were eating huge roasted turkey legs.

The big man pulled his wallet from his back pocket and handed Jed a couple of bills. "Here," he grunted.

"Thanks, Dad," Jed said as he pocketed the money. "Where's mom?"

"Working the booth," he grunted. "Say 'hi' and thank her."

"I will."

Jed's dad gave Colton a nod of acknowledgement, then wandered off, followed by the line-up of boys who Parker assumed were Jed's younger brothers.

"Jeez," Parker whispered to Colton. "What do they eat at Jed's house, bronto burgers? Or is it something in the water?"

Colton chuckled. "He's got a sister and an older brother, too. Apparently whatever is in the water makes his parents extra fertile."

"Who wants a turkey leg?" Jed asked gleefully as he rubbed his hands together.

Colton looked at Parker. "C'mon. I'll buy. Then we can go get lost in the corn maze." He wagged his eyebrows at Parker, making the smaller boy laugh.

* * *

Colton had Parker in the back seat of his car. Damn, his boy was horny tonight. He was underneath Colton, writhing and moaning as Colton sucked on his neck. They had their pants undone, both stroking each other's dicks.

Colton could feel his orgasm building up. He was going to shoot all over his pup's belly.

"Colton," Parker whispered. He shifted underneath Colton, sliding up a few inches. He rubbed Colton's cock head under his balls. "Colton, I'm ready." His breathing hitched. "I'm ready to go all the way." Parker rubbed the head of Colton's cock against his hole. "Fuck me. Please."

Colton had felt that Parker was ready, but he wasn't expecting him to beg for it like that. Just the thought of burying his cock deep inside his pup was enough to throw him way past the point of no return.

"Fuck," Colton moaned as his hips bucked and his cock jerked, pumping streams of semen all over Parker's legs, groin, stomach and hand.

Parker let out a muffled shout and Colton felt the boner pulsing in his hand, followed by bursts of hot liquid. He slowed his strokes, working Parker through his orgasm.

Parker laughed breathlessly. "You were supposed to put it inside me."

Colton shook his head against Parker's neck. He lifted his head to look Parker in the eyes. "Not here, not in the back of my car."

Parker looked up at Colton and gave him a tender smile. "Oh. Okay."

"Soon, pup. I promise."

Colton rubbed his semen into Parker's chest and belly, knowing that any wolf who came near would smell it. Colton couldn't mark Parker with a mating bite, but this would do for now.

Colton kissed Parker slowly and tenderly, letting him know just how much he cared.

Colton knew that he was going to have to sit down and talk to his dad about Parker. He had been putting it off for too long. He knew that many in the pack were going to have a problem with his mate. Not only was Parker male, but he was human.

Colton's dad was an old-school lycan and clung to the old ways and traditional values. Colton wasn't looking forward to talking to him about his mating.

But many lycans never met their mates. Instead, they would settle down with other wolves and have pups. Yes, it was possible to imprint on another wolf as if they were your mate, but it wasn't the same thing. Mated wolves had a connection that imprinted wolves didn't. Parker and Colton's union was destiny. It should be celebrated. He just hoped that his dad saw things that way.

After they cleaned up and dressed, they moved back to the front seat. Colton started the car and headed down the gravel drive towards the main road.

*

As the car moved further away from the old water tower, neither boy noticed the naked figure stepping out from the tree line's shadows. The man watched the car drive away, then dropped down to a crouch. Several seconds later, a large grey wolf disappeared into the woods.



Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 06



"Hold on!" Jed shouted.

Parker yelped as Jed's monster four wheel truck hit a hole in the rutted two-track, sending him flying forward. He grabbed on to the seat belt shoulder strap with one hand and grabbed the headrest in front of him with the other.

Jed let out a rebel yell as Colton and Trey cheered him on.

Another bump had Parker screaming as he nearly hit the ceiling.

When Colton suggested that Parker needed "bonding time" with Colton and his friends, Parker happily agreed. He was now regretting that decision.

Parker and Colton had been dating seriously for almost four weeks now. They spent all of their spare time together. Parker felt a little guilty that Colton didn't see his friends as often. He knew how close they were. He also felt guilt over not spending as much time with Shell, but Shell was dating Curtis hot and heavy now, so she wasn't around as much either.

The plan for today was to celebrate Trey receiving a full athletic scholarship to Tech. Parker thought they were going to go out to dinner, maybe a party. He didn't know that their idea of bonding time was four-wheeling in the mud. It had rained hard last night, all night long. Everything was completely wet and muddy.

Jed drove his truck like a mad man. There was so much mud on the windows, Parker didn't know how the big lug could even see where they were going. Colton rode shotgun in the front passenger seat, with Parker directly behind him, in the back seat with Trey.

The three jocks yelled and whooped every time Jed hit a bump.

Jed did a donut, screeched the truck to a halt and gave a final rebel yell.

As it came to a stop, Parker thought the truck was literally going to roll over. He clutched at his chest as he tried to calm his breathing. "Holy Jesus, I think I just crapped my pants!"

The other three men laughed until they were in tears.

"Let's stretch our legs," Colton said. He opened the truck door and jumped out.

That was fine with Parker. Right now, getting out of that killer truck was more important than anything in the entire world. He unbuckled his seat belt and pushed open the door. He stepped on to the running board and lost his footing on the slippery mud-covered surface. With a startled yelp, he found himself flat on his back in a pool of bone-chilling cold mud.

"Holy shit, are you okay, pup?" Colton asked as he crouched down.

Parker wasn't hurt, but he was totally humiliated. Jed and Trey stood by watching him, obviously trying not to laugh. His anger rose and he felt a stinging in his eyes as he tried to hold it together.

He looked up at Colton. Colton looked down at him with concern. Not pity, not mockery. Colton reached out and brushed a blob of mud from Parker's face, then cleared some away from his eye. His voice lowered to a whisper, "Even covered in mud, you're fucking adorable, pup. Christ, you make me happy."

Parker nearly melted. How could he stay mad after hearing that?

Colton looked up at his friends. "We're gonna go down to the river and clean up." He grabbed Parker's hands and pulled him to his feet.

"We're gonna go for a run," Jed said. "A hike. In the woods."

He and Trey turned and ran off towards the woods.

Parker looked around and frowned. Jed's 4x4 monster truck was completely caked with mud from top to bottom. It was sitting in an overgrown field of grass and mud. There was a fire pit and a rusted out barbecue grill nearby. Looking around, Parker noticed several other fire pits.

Behind Colton sat a row of a dozen small run-down, boarded up log cabins. Half of them looked like they were ready to collapse in on themselves. There was one larger building near the middle.

Parker could hear the rush of the nearby river, which flowed behind the cabins.

"Where are we?" Parker asked.

"Camp Timber, just across the county border. Jed said it was abandoned years ago, but the woods and trails are awesome for four-wheeling and hiking and stuff."

"How did you guys find this place? Are we supposed to be here? We're not gonna get in trouble for being here are we?"

Colton just smiled and held out his hand. "C'mon."

Parker took it and followed Colton towards one of the cabins. His sneakers squished with every step and he was completely covered in goopy brown mud from his head to his feet. He tried to wipe his face, but it was useless.

They walked past the cabin through the overgrown grass. Parker looked around his feet. "There aren't any snakes around here, are there?"

"Nah, probably not."

"'Probably' not?"

Parker scooted closer to Colton, carefully scanning the ground with each step. He followed him down to the river bank. The river was wide enough at this point that Parker knew he could swim the width of it using a little effort. There was a busted up dock that was nothing more than a few scraps of wood.

When the camp was in its prime, it was probably really nice.

Both teens stripped their clothes off and waded into the cold river.

Parker looked around. The water level was higher than normal and seemed to be flowing fairly quickly. He was a good swimmer, but he imagined an undertow pulling him away. "Is it safe?"

"It's safe here. Just stay close to the shore."

They washed the mud away from their bodies and then rinsed their clothes out. The water was cold, but it felt good to have the mud cleaned away.

"You're not having fun, are you?" Colton asked as he and Parker laid their clothes on the remains of the wooden dock.

Parker looked up. "No, I am," he insisted. He clamped his jaw down when his teeth started to chatter. Now that he was only in the river up to his knees, the air around him made him even colder. He wrapped his arms around his body, trying not to shiver. His nipples were so hard they could probably cut glass.

Parker openly stared at Colton's naked body. His wide shoulders formed a V-shape to his narrow waist. Even in the cold air, his dick looked big.

Parker looked down between his legs. It looked like his dick was trying crawl up into his body. Just great. He gave it a discreet tug, trying to make it look more presentable.

Colton coughed, trying to hide a laugh, which Parker ignored.

"So you're really having fun? Honest?" Colton asked.

"The truck was scary, but it was fun. But this is actually really nice. Good god, you're hot."

Colton smirked and flexed his muscles, then wiggled his hips, making his cock slap against his thighs. He pulled Parker close and tried to warm him up with his hands.

"I wanted to do something outside with you, in nature. I'm an outdoorsy kinda guy."

Parker leaned into Colton. The bigger boy radiated body heat that felt so damn good right now. "No, this is nice, Colt. Seriously."

"Are you sure? You seem a little distracted."

Parker let out a slow breath. "I didn't get in," Parker said quietly, looking away from Colton.

Colton looked confused. "Didn't get in what?"

"I didn't get into Tech. I got my rejection letter yesterday."

"Pup. Why didn't you say anything?"

Parker dropped his head onto Colton's shoulder. "This was supposed to be about Trey. I didn't want to ruin his day."

"So what are you gonna do?"

"I don't know. My dad is seriously pissed. He wanted me to go to Tech, since that's where he went. He said he was really disappointed in me. He said I squandered the chances I was given. If I spent more time studying instead of 'frogging around' with you...." Parker's voice started to tremble.

He closed his eyes, wanting to keep the tears at bay. It wasn't so much that he didn't get into the college that upset him. It was how his father reacted. His father barely paid attention to him before and now he was getting the silent treatment, along with sighs and head shaking.

Parker let out a deep breath. "Maybe I'll get into State. I don't know. I'm still waiting to hear from them. I don't even know what I want to study. Hell, I don't know if I even want to go to college. What about you?"

"I'm not going to college. Jed either." He thought for a moment. "I guess I'll end up going wherever you go, pup."

"You... What?"

"If you go to State, then I'll just have to move there and get a job. I can't be away from you, Parker."

Parker's fears evaporated. The separation from Colton after graduation weighed heavily in the back of his mind. Looking at Colton, he could see that he had the same fears. The two smiled at each other.

When Colton's hard-on pushed into Parker's stomach, his eyes widened.

"You make me so fucking hard, pup," Colton whispered. "I can't help it."

They continued staring into each other's eyes for a few moments longer. Parker saw the desire in Colton's dark eyes like always, but there was something else. Parker knew that this was an important moment.

He looked up towards the cabin and around at the woods before turning his attention back to Colton. "Will they be gone awhile?"

"Mm-hmm."

"Maybe we could go back to the truck for a little bit?" Parker reached between their bodies and wrapped his fingers around Colton's hard-on. He fisted the hot flesh, working the foreskin back and forth across the head, teasing the slit with his thumb.

"Let's see if we can't find something a little better, with a little more room."

Colton slipped on his shoes but remained undressed.

Parker followed Colton, loving the view of Colton's broad back and muscular ass. The two boys carried their clothes in their hands and walked up to the back of the cabin. Colton paused at the back door. He sniffed and listened at the door for a moment, then grabbed the door knob and gave the door a firm shove with his shoulder. The door jamb gave way easily.

"Damn. You're strong," whispered Parker as his eyes traveled across the sinewy muscles of Colton's back and shoulders.

Colton peeked his head in and looked around before ushering Parker inside.

The one room cabin had a living area with a fireplace, a tiny kitchenette and a small bathroom. Wooden planks were nailed over the windows, making it difficult to make out the details. The cabin was furnished, and the furniture was covered with canvas tarps. A layer of dust coated everything and Parker's body was wracked with a series of sneezes.

Colton walked to the window by the front door and yanked the boards off. Enough light streamed in through the dirty window panes that Parker could now see where he was going. He watched Colton pull the tarp off a small dining table, then lay his clothes out on the tabletop. Parker did the same. He then followed his boyfriend over to the bed.

Colton pulled the canvas tarp away, revealing a bare mattress on a rickety wooden bed frame. "I know this isn't very romantic, but..." He raised a brow, asking Parker for permission.

"No, it's fine."

Colton turned the canvas cover around so the clean side was up and then draped it over the mattress. He hurried back into the kitchen and rifled through his shorts. He came back with a small packet. He held it up for Parker to see. "Lube."

Parker smiled and blushed slightly. When Colton sucked him off, he liked to use spit soaked or lubed-up fingers on Parker's ass. He had been preparing Parker to take his cock.

Parker knew that today would be the day. And Colton knew it as well.

He pressed his body to Colton's bigger, warmer body and put his hands on Colton's tight waist. Colton leaned down and kissed him, slow and tenderly at first, then harder and more passionately.

As their kisses became deeper and more frantic, Colton pushed Parker backwards, lowering him onto the bed. The frame creaked under their combined weight.

Colton sucked Parker's neck, and then began sliding down his body, pressing kisses to smooth skin as he went. Parker closed his eyes and moaned, enjoying the sensations. Colton licked each of Parker's nipples and then kept going. Parker ran his hands through Colton's thick head of black hair.

Colton kissed and bit all over his flat belly before moving further south. His tongue slid up and down Parker's hard shaft. Parker gasped as his dick was enveloped by Colton's hot sucking mouth. It was so wet and warm.

A finger slid into the crack of Parker's ass. It was wet and slippery, already coated with lube. The sensations sent waves of pleasure right into Parker's core. He never imagined it would feel so good to be fingered, but it did every time.

"Colton... I want more."

Looking Parker square in the eye, he asked, "You sure?"

Parker nodded.

Colton sat up and pulled Parker's shoes off and dropped them onto the floor. He pushed Parker's legs up and apart, rocking his hips back and exposing the small, pink target.

Colton swiped his fingers across his tongue, then rubbed the spit soaked fingers around the rim of Parker's ass.

Colton laid down flat on the bed and spread Parker's cheeks apart. His wet tongue slid across the puckered flesh and Parker nearly leapt off the bed. "Colt!"

Encouraged by Parker's reaction, Colton ate his ass out like a wild man. Parker could only lay there and take it. Colton's hand rubbed across his chest, and pinched a nipple. Parker moaned and writhed on the bed, wanting, needing more.

He was on the verge of coming all over himself, when he finally pushed Colton's head away.

"Colton. Please. I want you."

"You got me," he whispered.

Parker laid flat on his back and took a deep breath and breathed out and closed his eyes.

"Relax, pup. Breathe."

Two thick fingers slowly pushed inside him, up to the first knuckle. They slid in easily with the lube, with only the slightest discomfort. Colton began slowly moving his fingers in and out and when he pushed it back in, he hit that spot inside Parker that had him gasping in pleasure, "Oh, Colt!"

Colton was staring into Parker's eyes and whispered, "There's the spot. You like that, don't you? Just imagine what it will feel like when it's my cock hitting that spot."

Colton chuckled when Parker's entire body shuddered. He rubbed the spot again and again, making Parker moan and whimper.

"Damn, pup. I could come just from those sounds you make. I don't know how long I'm gonna be able to last."

He dripped some more lube, and then gently slipped in a third finger as he began slowly making love to Parker with his fingers, tapping his prostate with each stroke. It was uncomfortable for a few seconds, but Parker soon got used to it and was pushing back against Colton's invading fingers, wanting more. Parker's dick was starting to ache, needing direct stimulation.

Colton leaned over and kissed Parker and looked him in the eye. "I won't hurt you, pup. I'd never hurt you."

"I know."

"It might be easier to take me on your stomach," he said quietly. "But I want to see you when I take you. I want to see your face when I make you come with my cock."

Parker's body reacted to Colton's words with a jerk and a shudder. "Oh my god, I want that, too."

Parker placed his hands on Colton's pec muscles as Colton lifted Parker's ankles onto his shoulders and leaned in. The tip of Colton's dick found Parker's hole and he rubbed it back and forth.

"Breathe slow and deep. Relax and push out, okay?"

Parker nodded and Colton slowly pushed his cock inside Parker's ass.

Parker drew in a sharp breath as Colton's cock breached him. He expected it to hurt a lot more, but he wanted Colton inside him so bad, he didn't care if he was feeling the burn. He grabbed Colton's waist and pulled him closer. "Fuck me."

Colton's eyes widened at Parker's plea. "Fuck!" he grunted. He pulled out and gripped the base of his cock, but it was too late. His come shot out, covering Parker's cock, balls and ass crack.

"Oh my god," Parker whimpered as the scalding hot liquid splattered across his balls and into the crack of his ass.

"Jesus, pup. You're so fucking hot, you make me lose control."

Watching Colton lose control was damn sexy. That he was so turned on he shot his load prematurely made Parker feel sexy himself. The fact that Colton's cock was still hard was sexy as well. His man had stamina.

Colton put the head of his still rock-hard dick back at the entrance to Parker's body. The slime-covered head slowly pushed past the tight ring of muscle.

"Breathe. Push out."

Parker took a deep breath and let it out slowly, then did it again. Within a few seconds the pain started to lessen. He opened his eyes to see Colton staring down at him. The look on his face was tender and caring and it took Parker's breath away. At that moment, he was utterly content. Colton had taken his rightful place on top of him, inside him. He loved the way Colton felt above him, the way he covered his body, surrounding him and protecting him.

"Ready?" Colton asked.

Parker nodded and he pushed in a little more, pausing every few seconds to allow Parker to adjust to his girth.

"I'm all the way inside you, pup. You're all mine now."

Parker was so caught up in Colton's dark eyes, he didn't even realize. Parker felt Colton's pubic hair tickling him and his heavy balls laying against his ass. His sphincter throbbed around the girth of Colton's shaft.

"I've always been yours."

Colton shifted slightly, making Parker grunt from the pressure. "Oh, damn you're big, Colt."

"Fuck, you are so hot and tight. Your ass is squeezing my cock. You feel so fucking good..."

They laid still for a moment. Parker could feel Colton's girth throbbing inside him with every beat of the bigger man's heart.

Colton started to move. He slowly pulled out, nearly all the way, and then even more slowly pushed back in.

Parker gasped and cried out his name in surprise when that big dick hit his prostate and dragged across it. His fingernails dug into Colton's skin as his back arched.

"Do that again, right there. Move, Colt. Don't stop, please, don't stop..."

Colton let Parker's legs down and hooked the ankles around his butt and thighs. He began slowly making love to Parker. They both groaned and moaned as Colton's hips sawed back and forth. Colton's mouth was everywhere, sucking on Parker's nipples, his collarbones and neck.

"Oh god," Parker moaned. "Why did we wait to do this?" He rubbed his hands all over Colton, feeling the power of his sinewy muscles.

As he kissed Parker, sliding his tongue into his boy's mouth, he picked up the pace and his thrusting became more intense. Every time Colton tapped Parker's g-spot, he let out a little whimper. Parker gripped him tighter as he thrust. Parker could tell that Colton was holding back, trying not to thrust too hard, but Parker wanted it. He wanted all that Colton had; he didn't want Colton to ever have to hold back with him.

"I won't break, Colt. Give it to me."

Colton shuddered and his thrusts quickened. He slammed into Parker, their thighs connecting with a slap.

"Yes," Parker moaned. His body trembled with need. "Harder."

"Take it," he growled. "Take my cock."

The bed shook beneath them. The old frame rocked against the wall, keeping time with Colton's punishing pace.

Colton reached down and grabbed Parker's chin, and forced him to look up into his eyes. "You're mine, Parker Montgomery. Mine." He pinned Parker down and fucked him into the mattress.

"Yes! Yours!" Parker cried, pushing back onto him, meeting his thrusts. He thrashed about on the bed underneath his big lover, his hands and feet digging into the muscles of that hard body.

"Don't stop," Parker moaned. "Please."

"You beg so fucking good."

Parker's groin tightened. The tingles spread and the pressure built. He cried out, "Colt! I think I'm gonna... You're gonna make me... I'm gonna come! Don't stop, don't stop!"

"Shoot it for me, Parker."

"Oh my god, Colt!" Parker screamed.

His head slammed back against the mattress as he arched his back up. He clamped his ass muscles down around Colton's thrusting cock.

Colton's mouth latched onto Parker's exposed neck. He sucked hard at the base, pulling fresh blood to the surface, marking him for the world to see.




Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 06



A garbled shout spilled from Parker's throat as his body contracted and released his load between their thrusting bodies. It was the most intense orgasm he'd ever experienced. As his pubic muscles pulsed with each shot, his sphincter contracted and milked Colton's slamming cock.

Colton let out a loud growl. His thrusts became erratic. "Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck, I'm gonna fucking come. I'm coming now!"

He lifted onto his hands and arched his back. He threw his head back and with a mighty roar, thrust one final time as hard as he could. His body shuddered and convulsed. Parker felt Colton expand inside him, then his thickness pulsed over and over. Parker felt the intense heat of Colton's come and it felt like he was being filled to capacity with molten-hot lava. Colton's body jerked a couple of times as he gave a few final, weak thrusts.

Colton's arms buckled and he fell on top of Parker. He tried to lift up, to keep his entire weight off his smaller lover. Parker's arms slid around Colton's back and pulled him back down.

"Stay. Colt... that was... oh my god...," Parker whispered.

"Pup, you are fucking amazing. The best..."

Colton's body quivered and shuddered on top of him, his cock still buried deep inside Parker.

Parker was no longer a virgin. He had given that gift to the man he was in love with. As he drifted off to sleep, a little voice in his head told him that the act wasn't just about sex. He had set something in motion that would change his life forever...

* * *

Colton held Parker's sleeping form in his arms. He softly stroked his boy's hair while he memorized every feature, every freckle and every pore. He always knew that Parker was his: his to protect and provide for. What he didn't know was that smaller man was going to become everything to him, that he would steal his heart.

Parker may not be pack yet, but Colton realized for the first time that he was Colton's pack. They were a pack of two.

*

Parker opened his eyes when he felt movement behind him. The musty smell hit him and he remembered that he was inside that old, dark cabin with Colton. The hint of pain around his asshole and the sticky wetness down there reminded him that he had just made love for the first time.

He turned around to face his boyfriend. "Hi."

Colton smiled. "Hi yourself. We should get up and get going. I'd really like to take a walk around the woods if it's not too muddy. If you don't mind."

Parker nodded and leaned forward, demanding a kiss from Colton.

Colton's hand slid behind Parker's head. His fingers tangled in Parker's blond locks as he slanted his mouth and covered Parker's.

"Thank you, pup," he whispered when he finally pulled away.

"Thank you, Colton."

"I meant what I said. You're mine now. You'll have to kill me to get rid of me."

Parker laughed softly. "I can't see that happening anytime soon. I would probably miss you."

"We better get up and get dressed. If you don't get some clothes on, I'm gonna have to take you again."

"You don't have to take it, Colton. I'll give it to you whenever you want."

*

Colton's eyes dilated as he was hit with a wave of lust. His cock stiffened even further. He ached to be inside his mate again. He moved on top of Parker, kneeling between his legs. Parker eagerly spread his legs wide, allowing Colton to slide forward and ease into him. Lube and semen eased the way for a quick and messy coupling.

Colton gripped Parker's waist, holding him in place. He stayed on his knees between Parker's legs, thrusting his hips forward. Parker moaned as Colton stroked his prostate from inside his velvet soft walls. Parker's pretty cock oozed pre-come onto his perfect belly.

While holding Parker tight, he leaned forward and rolled onto his back. Parker settled on his knees, straddling Colton. He grabbed Colton's dick, lifted up and sat back down on it. Parker let out a wanton moan as he started to move up and down. His moves were awkward and uneven at first, but he quickly figured out the rhythm. Yes, he was a fast learner.

Colton grabbed Parker's hips and held him in place, then thrust hard up into Parker's body. Parker cried out in pleasure as his body shuddered. His dick lurched and dribbled pre-come into the hair on Colton's abs. Yeah, even when Parker was on top, Colton needed to be in charge. He wasn't even going to pretend otherwise.

He held Parker and pounded his hips up into his boy, watching Parker's swollen dick bob up and down each time he bottomed out.

"Touch yourself, pup."

Parker reached down and grabbed his sticky dick. He stroked with Colton's rhythm while feeling up the bigger man's muscles with his other hand. "Colt. Feels so good..."

Colton stared up at Parker with unabashed lust. His pup had his head thrown back, exposing the bruised spot at the curve of his neck. It called out to him, already dark purple from Colton's earlier abuse. He was drawn to that spot. He knew that was where submissive werewolf mates were marked with a permanent bite scar. But Parker was human, he couldn't be bitten. It was absolutely forbidden to bite a human. That didn't mean that Colton couldn't leave his mark there. He never let the hickeys fade and he liked seeing his teeth marks there. As long as he didn't break the skin...

Fuck.

He had the overwhelming urge to sink his teeth into that spot, to pin Parker down to the bed with his teeth. Both sets of canine teeth erupted through his gums. He squeezed his eyes shut as they shifted. The need to bite Parker, to break his skin with his fangs, to make him submit was almost too strong.

Colton gripped Parker and tossed him onto the bed on his back. Colton grabbed Parker's ankles and pulled his legs apart and slammed his cock into him. He covered Parker's body with his and clamped his mouth over the mating spot and sucked hard. He let his teeth graze, using every ounce of control to not clench his jaws.

His mate whimpered and begged for him. "Please don't stop. Harder."

Every time Colton bottomed out inside Parker, his little mate let out a whimper and tried to pull him in deeper. His pants and moans were getting louder and his ass was starting to spasm.

Colton slammed his cock into Parker's ass with a single purpose: to spill his seed inside his mate, to breed him and mark him with his wolf scent from the inside out.

"Colton!" Parker's sudden shout of his name broke Colton out of his trance. Parker's ass clenched and milked Colton's cock as he painted his belly with a second load of come.

The sight and smell of his boy in orgasm was enough to trip Colton over the edge. He thrust hard and deep, and then for the second time, he shot his load deep inside Parker's perfect ass, marking him from the inside as belonging only to Colton.

Colton remained hard as steel. He could go another time, but he knew that his boy's ass was likely sore. He slowly pulled back and his wet, sticky boner slapped against his belly.

A flood of thick come slowly dripped out of Parker's raw, reddened asshole. The sight was almost enough to make Colton shoot his load one more time. He took the head of his dick and rubbed it up Parker's crack, scooping up the river of semen. He pushed the head of his cock back into Parker's ass, pushing his come back where it belonged, before finally pulling out.

Parker suddenly drew in a sharp breath. His eyes widened as he looked up at Colton. "We didn't use condoms," he worried.

Colton gave him a reassuring smile. "It's okay, pup. We don't need them. I swear to you I don't have any diseases. I would never put you at risk like that. I promise. If you're worried, we'll go get tested, both of us."

Parker looked at him for a moment and nodded with a smile. "Okay. I trust you, Colt."

* * *

Colton held Parker's hand, their fingers interlaced together, as they finished their walk through the woods. He felt like everything was in place. He had finally made love with his mate. More than ever, he was absolutely positive that Parker was the one. His one.

He looked down at Parker.

Parker had a little smile on his beautiful face. He was practically glowing. He looked so innocent, so sweet. But Colton knew better. His pup was a little animal in the bedroom and he practically brought out the beast in Colton. Colton sniffed and a wolfish smile spread across his face. His pup's sweet ass was filled with his come. Just the thought made his cock start to go hard again. He wanted to throw his head back and howl triumphantly.

Colton couldn't get human diseases, so he couldn't transfer STDs to his pup. Luckily Parker didn't push the condom usage. Colton had no intention of using a condom with his mate.

"Hey, Colt?" Parker quietly interrupted his thoughts.

"Yeah, pup?"

"Do you think... Maybe we could come back here sometime?"

"Sure. Anything you want, Parker."

"I wonder if that fireplace in the cabin works."

"We'll give it a try next time."

"Maybe we could get some blankets and, you know..."

"Make love in front of the fire?"

Parker nodded, his cheeks turning pink. "Yeah. I know, it sounds..." Parker shrugged.

"It sounds romantic. I'd be down with that."

"Okay. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone you're a big, romantic softie." Parker nudged Colton with his shoulder.

"Only for you. Ain't nothing too good for my pup."

Parker leaned against Colton's arm as they walked.

"Do you feel different?" Colton asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Different now that you're not a virgin anymore. Do you have any regrets?"

Parker stopped and made sure that Colton could see his eyes. "I have absolutely no regrets where you're concerned. As far as feeling different... my butt hurts a little bit, but otherwise I feel great."

Colton threw his head back and laughed. He stole a quick kiss before they continued on.

They arrived back at the main campground as Jed and Trey emerged from the woods, their shirts tucked into the backs of their muddy shorts. They were both fairly muddy. Jed even had mud caked in his thick chest hair. They were laughing and pushing each other, acting goofy.

The grins on their faces showed that they were on a major high from their run and hunt in the woods. It gave Colton a warm feeling of contentment that his pack-mates were happy.

Parker gasped next to him. "Are they..." His whispered voice trailed off.

Colton looked down at Parker, who was staring at Jed and Trey with wide eyes. Colton looked back up at Trey and Jed. Realizing what Parker thought, he started to laugh loudly. He could understand how their touching and roughhousing might look to outsiders. Their kind were very tactile.

"No, pup. First of all, Trey is straight. Second of all, he's not Jed's type."

Parker frowned. "Because Trey's black?"

"No. Jed wants to be the top dog, pun intended, and no way in hell would he submit to Trey."

Parker nodded his head at what Colton was telling him. They both wanted to be on top. He could understand that. Colton and his friends had very dominant personalities. Parker didn't. Maybe that's why he and Colton worked well together. Colton was the top dog. And Parker didn't mind being his bottom.

They walked over to Jed's monster truck and joined the other two.

"Have a good run?" Colton asked his two friends.

"Yeah," Trey nodded. "It was great. These woods are awesome."

"Told ya," Jed said.

"Go ahead and take shotgun," Colt told Trey.

Jed pulled open the back door of the truck and grabbed a bottle of water from the cooler. He tossed one to Trey, who held up his hand and snatched it in mid-air.

Jed looked back at Parker and jerked his thumb towards the open door. "You need a lift up, pup?"

Parker narrowed his eyes at Jed. "I'm not your pup and I can get in by myself, thank you."

Colton grinned. He liked it when his boy got feisty.

Jed held his hands up. "Sorry. My mistake." He then added in a baby-talk voice, "You're just so widdle and cuuute."

When Jed reached out to pinch his cheek, Parker wasn't having any of that.

Parker slapped the hand away and glared at the big redneck. He pressed his index finger into Jed's chest and poked hard at the mud caked there. "Little! Why you-- Just because I'm not built like a mountain, doesn't mean I'm little. And what's up with this big ass truck anyway? Trying to compensate for something?"

"I know you've checked me out in the showers. You know damn well I don't need to compensate." Jed grabbed his dick in his shorts and hefted it up and laughed.

Colton had enough. He stepped in front of Jed and shoved him with his chest. "Back off. Show your cock to my boyfriend again and I'll rip it off and shove it up your ass."

"Jeez, man. Calm down. I was just playing."

"Play somewhere else." Colton turned Jed around and shoved him towards the truck.

"Damn," Jed muttered to Trey. "For someone who just got laid, he sure is grouchy."

Colton ignored Jed's comment since he knew that Parker didn't hear it. He knew that his two friends might have heard him and Parker having sex on account of their sensitive hearing. Even if they didn't hear, they could smell him all over Parker. He didn't give a shit, so long as they didn't tease Parker or make him uncomfortable about it.

Colton turned around and gripped Parker by the waist and hefted him up into the truck.

Parker grunted and looked back at his boyfriend with a piercing glare. "Didn't I just say I could get in by myself?"

Colton just grinned. He shut the door and walked around to the other side and climbed into the seat next to Parker. He pulled off his shirt and reached over and slapped Jed on the back of his head. "Let's go, asswipe."

They sped back towards the city with the windows rolled down. They had to shout to hear each other over the wind, but it was freaking awesome. Almost as good as a nice long run in the woods.

*

Parker looked over at Colton, staring at the hair on his chiseled chest and abs. His boyfriend was so damn sexy. The other three guys had their shirts off and were relaxing and enjoying themselves. Colton loved Parker's chest and stomach, so why should he worry or feel modest?

Parker grabbed the hem of his t-shirt and lifted it over his head and dropped it on the seat. He got a nod from Trey and a thumbs-up from Jed, who spied him in the rear-view mirror.

Parker grinned happily.

For the first time in his life, he felt like he truly belonged.

*

Colton felt his body heating and his cock hardening at the sight of Parker's bared chest and belly. He wondered if Parker had any idea what that did to him.

He gave the boy he loved a smile and received one in return.

* * *

When Colton picked up Parker for school the next day, Parker dragged him up to his bedroom without so much as a "hello."

Parker's uninhibited desire turned Colton into a beast and Parker loved every second of it. Colton pinned Parker down on his bed and fucked the hell out of him.

Damn, his man was loud when they had sex. Not that he was all that quiet either. When you had something that huge pounding full force into your ass, you were going to make noise whether you wanted to or not.

After cleaning up, they raced down the stairs and out the front door. They barely made it to school on time.

When Colton dropped Parker off after school, they did it again before Parker's mom came home.

Ever since they had sex in the log cabin at Camp Timber, something about Colton turned Parker into a horndog. He didn't understand what was going on. Just being around the bigger boy made him ache with need. And when he wasn't around, it was like his body went through withdrawal.

He wanted Colton on top of him and inside him. He loved the noises that Colton made when they had sex, and he loved the smells he gave off. He loved the way Colton touched him and kissed him. Colton made these growly noises and sucked and bit on his neck. God, that was so hot. Colton could make him come so hard every single time they had sex. And he was embarrassed to admit it even to himself, but he loved it when Colton came inside his ass. It was even better than when Colton came in his mouth. It was a really close call.

Parker was in love with Colton and even though neither of them had said it out loud, Parker knew without a doubt that Colton loved him, too. There was just something in his eyes and whenever he looked at him, Parker could see it plain as day.

And now it was Saturday night and Parker was ecstatic that his parents were going out. His dick was already hard just thinking about being alone with Colton. He grabbed his phone and called his boyfriend before they even left the driveway....

* * *

Colton swam up to Parker and took him into his arms. All of the playing in the pool had made him horny. Mostly because their playing consisted of his pup grabbing at his cock under the water, then trying to swim away.

After going without sex for so long, Colton was definitely trying to make up for lost time by going at it like bunnies in heat. Or, like the horny, hormonal teen wolf shifter he was. His pheromones obviously sent Parker's libido into overdrive as well since his boy never denied him his needs, even initiating at times. Parker probably didn't even realize that it was happening.

Colton pushed Parker backwards until the smaller boy was laying back against the steps.

"Colt," Parker moaned as Colton tugged Parker's bathing suit off, then tossed it into the deep end of the pool.

"No more teasing, pup. I have to have you."

"Oh god, yes..."

Colton pulled the front of his suit down to expose his cock, and then moved on top of Parker. He grabbed Parker's leg and pushed it up and out as he got into position. Colton's thick cock found its target and he surged forward.

"Fuck," Colton groaned as he sunk into the tight grip of Parker's ass.

His mate was still wet and loosened from their earlier lovemaking. As soon as Parker found out his parents were going out to dinner on their monthly 'date night', he had called Colton. He yanked Colton upstairs and they had a fast and furious quickie before coming out for a swim.

"Your dick is so big," Parker moaned as he rubbed his hands all over Colton's furry chest and abs. His leg pulled back and locked around Colton's waist. "So good, so strong, so sexy."

God, Colton loved it when Parker talked about how big his dick was, how muscular he was, how hairy he was. It made him feel like a man.

Colton laid on top of Parker and thrust in and out of his ass hard and fast. The water sloshed around them, and their bodies slapped together.

"You're so fucking tight, pup. You feel so damn good."

Taking Parker outside in the pool under the clear sky with the moon shining on them... nothing could be better. Everything about sex with Parker was a turn on. The neediness in his eyes, the way his skin felt underneath his hands, the whimpering sounds he made in between the soft pants of his breathing, and the smells. Fuck, those smells Parker gave off when he was aroused made Colton hard enough to pound nails every time.

Colton pumped his prick into Parker, relentlessly stabbing his prostate. Parker's hands gripped Colton's back, his fingers clenching and unclenching. His breathing quickened and his whimpers grew in pitch and volume. He leaned his head back, exposing his throat.

Colton couldn't pass up the submissive gesture. His head dove down and he clamped his teeth onto that tender skin at the base of Parker's neck. He sucked hard, pulling new blood to the surface, further marking Parker as his. Snaking a hand between their bodies, Colton grabbed Parker's cock and gripped it in a tight fist.

Parker held his breath as his body went rigid. His ass clamped down onto Colton's cock like a vise and he pumped up into Colton's hand.

"You're gonna make me come, Colt," Parker grunted between gritted teeth. "Please don't stop! Come with me. Come inside me."




Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 06



Colton was right there with him. He shoved hard into Parker's ass as his body started to convulse. He thrust erratically as he shot his load deep inside Parker, barely aware of Parker's body shuddering beneath him.

When Colton finally got his body under control, he lifted his head and looked down at his mate. Parker's eyes were closed, his mouth parted, his body finally going limp against the stairs. He looked between their bodies and watched Parker's semen swirl around the water's currents.

"Wow," Parker finally whispered when he opened his eyes.

"Yeah." Colton agreed. Wow, was right.

Colton barely had time to enjoy the afterglow when his senses went into protective mode. The hair on the back of Colton's neck rose. He lifted his head and scented the air. Another shifter was close.

They were being watched.

He sniffed again but couldn't determine the scent. He was positive that it was a lycan, another wolf-shifter, but there was something odd about the scent. As if whoever it was was trying to mask it.

"What's wrong, Colton?" Parker asked, his voice panicking. He lifted his head and looked around. "Did you hear something? Is it my parents?"

Colton could smell the fear coming off Parker. "No. Everything's okay."

"You're making that noise again," Parker said.

He looked down at Parker. "Huh? Noise?"

"Yeah. You make this growling noise sometimes...."

Colton needed to get him inside where he would be safe. He was filled with rage that someone had watched them make love. No one but him got to see Parker like that. He pulled Parker up and grabbed Parker's swim suit. He wrapped a towel around his boy, and hurried him into the house.

Before going inside he looked into the woods. He puffed his chest out and let his eyes shift. He whispered, knowing that the shifter would still hear him. "He's mine. You come near my mate, and I will kill you. I will tear you limb from limb and gut you like a pig."

"Is everything okay?" Parker asked as Colton shut the door behind him. He had the big towel around him and he was shivering as he clutched it around his body. "What's going on?"

"I thought I saw something."

Parker's eyes widened. "Like a wolf? Was it my wolf?"

"Wolf? No, it wasn't a wolf," Colton lied.

He didn't want to scare Parker off wolves, but the fact that Parker referred to him as 'his wolf' made Colton's heart soar.

In the safety of Parker's bedroom, Colton stripped off his bathing suit and took the towel Parker offered. He knew that Parker was watching him, so he gave him a good show, rubbing his chest hair with the towel. He took longer than normal drying off his cock.

"Your body is so sexy. And god you're hung like a horse."

Colton chuckled. His pup had a one track mind. Luckily, they were in sync there.

"It's not that big." His modesty sounded false even to his own ears.

"Right. How big is it?"

Colton shrugged and looked down at his flaccid cock, which was starting to fill and rise from all the attention. "Don't know."

"You never measured it?"

"No."

Parker walked over to his desk drawer and pulled out a plastic ruler and a shoelace.

"What's the shoelace for?"

Parker set the ruler down and gripped Colton's cock.

"I guess I need to get it hard first," Parker muttered to himself. "I'll just have to suck it."

He leaned forward and took Colton's cock into his mouth. Colton let his head fall back as his pup started sucking him off. Just as he was getting close, Parker pulled away.

Colton groaned and pushed his hips forward. "Don't stop, pup."

Parker took the string and pressed the end against the base of Colton's dick. He laid it along the top of Colton's cock and pinched his fingers on the string at the tip. He took the ruler and laid the string along it.

"Seven and one-sixteenth inches," Parker announced.

"Bull-fucking-shit," Colton sputtered. He knew damn well he was bigger than seven inches.

Parker laughed. "Just kidding. You're eight and five-eighths. Just over eight and a half. Nice."

"That's more like it," Colton said, puffing out his chest with a cocky smile plastered across his face.

"You're so modest," Parker chuckled.

"You like my big ego. And my big dick."

"I should be offended, but yeah I do, you cocky bastard."

Colton laughed. He grabbed his cock and bobbed it up and down. "Hell yeah, I'm cocky. Eight and half-inches cocky."

Parker rolled his eyes. "I should have known this would turn out to be a mistake. I'd say something about giving you a big head, but you'd just turn it into a joke about your dick."

"Gimme that." Colton took the string and repeated the same procedure on Parker. "Six and three-eighths. Perfect."

"Yeah?" Parker asked, looking a little uncertain.

Colton couldn't have that uncertainty. Everything about his pup was perfect. "Mm-hmm. Perfect." He pushed Parker back onto his bed and proceeded to show him how perfect his cock was when he swallowed him to the root.

* * *

Parker watched from the living room window as Colton pulled away from the house. He smiled when Colton blinked his headlights and he kept watching until the taillights could no longer be seen.

Parker was a little wound up. He had a great time with Colton tonight. He always did. He couldn't believe how many times they did it tonight. Colton had fucked him twice and then traded blowjobs after measuring each other. His butt was a little bit sore, but it was the good kind of sore.

All that physical activity had him starving. He went to the kitchen and made himself a big roast beef sandwich with a slice of cheddar cheese. He took his sandwich out into the backyard and looked up at the sky. He watched the clouds drift across the half moon as he took a bite.

A rustling noise coming from the woods turned Parker's head. Was his wolf back? Was that what Colton saw earlier?

He cautiously walked towards the back fence. He saw a movement near the treeline and then he saw the flash of eyes reflecting the moonlight. The animal was crouched down and waiting by the trees.

"Is that you, boy?" Parker asked quietly. He opened the iron gate and stepped towards the wolf. "Are you hungry?"

Parker smiled to himself. So it was the wolf that Colton saw earlier. God, Colton would be so pissed off if he could see Parker right now.

Parker held out the sandwich as he carefully approached the animal. The animal took a step backwards into the trees, then another, as if it was trying to lure Parker into the darkness.

Parker froze. Was he really following a huge predator into the woods at night? What the hell was wrong with him? Sure, his wolf was sweet and gentle, but he was still a wild animal.

Wait a minute. "His" wolf? He really needed to stop referring to the animal as 'his.'

Still, an uneasy feeling crept up his spine. He shook it off and tried to smile. "Here, boy. Eat up."

Parker tossed the sandwich towards the wolf. The wolf moved forward, stepping on the sandwich with his paw, crushing it into the dirt with its claws. The clouds opened up and the moon's light lit up the animal's eyes and his muzzle.

His grey muzzle. Filled with huge teeth.

Its silver-grey eyes locked a feral gaze on Parker.

Parker drew in a breath and stepped back. His wolf's fur was all black, not grey. A low growl came from the animal's chest as it took an attack stance and bared its fangs. To say this animal wasn't friendly would be the understatement of the century.

Parker's heart was pounding out of his chest. Oh Jesus, he was about to piss his pants, and then he was going to be eaten alive. He slowly stepped back towards the gate.

The wolf barked and growled and stalked closer to the fence, forcing Parker backwards away from the gate.

Parker's eyes darted around looking for an escape. He was seriously going to hyperventilate. He didn't know what to do. So he did the first thing that came into his mind.

He turned and ran.

Even as he did it, he knew it was the stupidest thing in the world and it was surely going to get him killed. At full speed he ran, straight into the woods. The beast was behind him nipping at his heels, snarling and breathing like a hound from hell.

Parker screamed, "Help! Somebody, hel--"

Pain shot up Parker's spine as the beast tackled him, slamming him chest first, face down into the forest floor.

Parker drew in a lungful of air and grabbed at the ground, trying to pull himself away. His scraped up knee protested and he cried out in pain as tried to get up. He flipped over onto his back and slumped to the ground, his chest heaving as he struggled to breathe.

The big grey predator was stalking Parker, taunting him, walking around him in circles. The beast's lips curled and pulled back into a snarl. His mouth foamed and his razor sharp teeth dripped saliva.

"Please don't kill me," Parker whimpered. He knew his words were useless.

The rabid wolf snarled, crouched down and then it pounced. Parker clasped his fingers together and with a loud grunt, he slammed his joined fists as hard as he could into side of the animal's head.

The wolf was momentarily stunned, but it recovered quickly – much too quickly for Parker to get away. It growled and snapped at Parker, pinning him down on the ground.

Parker screamed.

A blur of black fur flashed over Parker's head and knocked the grey wolf away from him.

Parker watched wide-eyed as the black wolf -- it was his wolf -- lunged at the other animal with claws and teeth bared. The bigger, stronger black wolf cornered the grey wolf against a tree.

The black wolf snarled ferociously, then lunged and attacked, slowly wearing the smaller wolf down. With a roar, he tore at the grey wolf with his claws, sending a stream of blood splattering across Parker's shirt.

Parker gasped in horror and pushed away from the animals as the grey wolf slumped onto the forest floor.

Parker's cry was enough of a distraction that the black wolf turned towards him and immediately came to his side.

The wolf's features softened. His tongue flopped out of his mouth as he panted from exertion. He stepped forward and lapped a line of slobber across Parker's face.

Parker winced as he wiped his face with his hand. "Gross."

He rubbed the wolf's head and scratched at his ears. "You saved me."

The wolf was content to let him touch for a moment, before he began sniffing Parker. He pressed his nose across every inch of Parker's body, inhaling deeply and snorting.

"He's checking to make sure I'm not hurt," Parker thought. He was positive that was what the animal was doing.

He somehow managed to grab Parker's bloody shirt in his teeth and rip it off his body, tossing it to the side. He lingered on Parker's belly, sniffing up and down. His nose was cold and wet pressed against Parker's skin, but Parker laid there propped on his elbows, content to let the animal do what it needed to.

The wolf nudged its muzzle between Parker's legs and pressed it into his taint and snorted loudly.

Parker bucked, trying to pull away from the wolf. "Hey! Stop that." His cheeks went red, realizing that the wolf smelled Colton's semen inside him.

The wolf crawled on top of Parker and plopped down, making Parker grunt from the weight on his chest. "You're really heavy."

Parker closed his eyes as the smell of the wolf surrounded him. He smelled good. Not at all like wet dog. Someone obviously takes care of him.

Parker's emotions slowly calmed. The terror was replaced by a feeling of warmth and comfort. He scratched his fingers through the wolf's fur and let out a soft sigh.

The wolf slid his body back and forth across Parker's torso, as if he was trying to rub its scent onto his body. It let out a huff, then went still. His tongue lapped up the side of Parker's face, then across his neck.

"Okay, this is getting way too weird. I have to go." He tapped at the wolf's side. "Up."

The wolf stepped back and let out an unhappy woof. Parker groaned as he pushed up onto his feet. He stretched and winced as his back spasmed lightly. He rubbed his scraped up knee, then bent down and picked up his tattered shirt. When he tried to put it back on, the wolf pulled it out of his hands and tossed it away with a snarl.

"Okay, okay," Parker said with his hands up in a placating gesture. "It's got that other wolf's blood all over it any way."

Parker looked around, and noticed that the grey wolf was gone. He stepped closer to his wolf until they were touching. He crossed an arm over his chest, feeling a little chilly, then set off for home. The other hand dropped to his side, and his fingers found the wolf. He slid his fingers into the beast's soft fur.

The black wolf walked alongside Parker the entire way back to the house. He stopped at the iron gate and even after Parker rubbed him and said his goodbyes, he waited until Parker went inside the house before stepping back into the woods.

* * *

Colton remained on guard outside Parker's house until the sun was threatening to rise. Parker had looked completely exhausted when he went inside. Colton was sure that he went right to bed. Well, he probably took a nice, hot shower first.

He let out a low growl of pleasure as he thought of his sexy little mate naked in the shower.

Before Colton went home, he walked up to the back of Parker's fence. He lifted his leg and marked the fence line in several locations as a warning. It wouldn't do any real good, but it made Colton feel better.

He wasn't sure who the other wolf was, but the next time he ran into him, he wouldn't limp away when Colton turned his head. He would be dead.

But there was something about the wolf that confused him. Something about the scent threw him off. The wolf was clearly a shifter, but he didn't smell like one. Colton would need to come back with Trey and Jed. Maybe between the three of them they could figure out who or what it was.

He'd also have to let his Dad know what was going on. The pack needed to know if there was a strange wolf in town attacking people. He was also going to have to bite the bullet and confess to his dad that Parker was his mate.

In the meantime, he would be more careful with Parker's safety. He'd have to make sure that Parker never went anywhere alone. When Colton couldn't be with him, he'd send Jed to watch him.

* * *

Deputy Carlton Butler watched his son interact with his friend from school, a small human male.

His son was concerned about what might be a rogue wolf shifter in the area. The 'rabid' wolf had attacked Colton's little blond-headed friend in the woods behind his house. Carlton sent some pack deputies to the scene, but they were unable to identify or track the stray wolf.

If what Colton was saying was true, the news was very disturbing. They couldn't have rogue wolves going around attacking humans. It would draw unwanted attention.

He had agreed to let the boy come over for their weekly pizza night dinner, but he was told that this 'Parker' kid was a 'good friend'. Watching his son play video games with the smaller teen, it was obvious that there was more to it than that. He didn't need his wolf senses to know that.

Christ on a cross.

He could smell Colton all over him. Colton was obviously fucking the kid. Not only was the human barely legal, he couldn't stop looking back at his son with googly eyes. That was the last thing he needed right now. Getting rid of the lovestruck kid was going to be messy.

He had hoped his son would grow out of that... behavior. This new generation didn't seem to care where they stuck their cocks, but that didn't mean that Carlton wanted to see it. Walking in on Colton fucking their former Alpha's son up the ass was an experience he'd like to forget.

It wasn't all Colton's fault, though. Apparently Colton wasn't the only one who used him as a bitch. When it got out that the son of the alpha -- and the soon-to-be leader of the Santa Fe pack -- was taking it up the ass, there was absolute chaos and mutiny in the ranks. The Alpha was challenged to the death by one of his strongest opponents and he lost. As the pack beta, Carlton stepped down. He used his connections to get in with the Forest View Pack and he and Colton ended up making a new home here.

Carlton briefly wondered whatever happened to the kid, but he had more important things to think about.

He'd have to sit down and have a man-to-man talk with Colton about duties and responsibilities. His son already had a well-deserved reputation as someone who didn't respect authority figures. He couldn't put it off any further. Colton was a man now, and it was time he started acting like it.

His son was strong and powerful and in turn he would breed strong and powerful pups. He couldn't do that if he was fucking a... 'Parker'. It was for the good of the pack.

"Colton," he said after clearing his throat. "I need to go in to work for a couple hours. I'll see you when I get home."

Colton paused their game and turned around. "Okay, Dad. Be safe."

Carlton stood but stopped and turned back to his son. "Colton. You haven't been going up to the old water tower, have you?"

"Why?"

"We know that kids have been hanging out up there. It's off limits for a reason. That ravine along the woods on the hill's back side is dangerous. Can I assume that you've done as you were told and not gone up there?"

Colton ground his teeth but didn't say anything. He dipped his head once in acknowledgement. Colton didn't like being called out in front of the boy, but Carlton was trying to make a point.

Carlton watched his son for a moment longer. "I'll see you in a little bit."

"It was nice meeting you, Mr. Butler," the boy said with a genuine smile. "Thank you for letting me stay for dinner."

Carlton sighed inwardly. If circumstances were different, he might actually like the boy. He was a good kid and he'd probably be a good influence on his defiant son.

Carlton put on a smile. "You too, Parker."

* * *

As soon as the door to the garage shut, Parker let out a breath and set the game controller down. "That was nerve-wracking."

"What? Dad liked you. I could tell."

"Right. I'm sure he could read all over my face that we had been up there."

Colton grunted. "If I wanna take you up there, I will."

Parker shifted closer to Colton and snuggled up at his side. He smiled when Colton put an arm around his shoulders. Parker laid his head down on Colton's shoulder.

"Your dad is scary in that deputy's uniform. He doesn't ever seem to smile. And he carries a gun and is super big and muscular. I felt like I was under arrest the whole time he looked at me." He lifted his head and looked Colton up and down. "Though, I think you're bigger than he is."

Colton pushed Parker flat onto the couch. "I am. I'm the biggest and the best," he boasted.

"Oh, don't I know it."

"You better."

Parker let out a soft sigh and relaxed back into couch, pulling Colton closer.

"I'm sorry I'm so clingy today," he said after a few silent moments.

"It's okay. I know you're freaked out about that animal attacking you. Just promise me you won't go out into the woods alone, okay?"

"I promise. Do you really think your dad can find him?"

"I'm sure they'll find him."

Parker sat up and looked Colton in the eye. "I don't want them to hurt him. He was probably just scared. They won't kill him will they? They're just gonna relocate him, right?"

Colton cupped a hand to Parker's face and swiped a thumb under his eyelash, catching the tear that was about to fall. "You're so innocent, so caring..."

The way Colton looked at him right then made Parker's heart pound in his chest.

Parker closed his eyes as Colton moved in. He parted his lips for Colton's tongue and let Colton lay him flat onto the sofa cushions as they began making out.

Colton pulled up Parker's shirt and exposed his belly. He bent his head down and nipped at the soft skin around his belly button. He rubbed his whiskered chin across the flat surface and smiled when he felt Parker quiver.




Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 06



He looked back up at Parker and suddenly grew serious. "I can't stop thinking about you," he said quietly. "All day, all night. You got me wrapped around your finger, pup."

"I know what you mean," Parker replied back. He ran his hand through Colton's thick head of hair.

"I had to jerk off last night before I could fall asleep. All I could think about was burying my cock inside your ass and filling you with my come."

Parker shuddered. "God, Colton."

"My dad will be gone for a while. Let's go up to my bedroom...."

* * *

Colton groaned as he slid home into Parker's ass. He had never felt anything so hot, so tight, so perfect. This was exactly where his cock was supposed to be: balls deep inside Parker's ass. This was what it was supposed to be like. All the stories he had heard let him know it was the truth.

Parker Montgomery was his mate.

He lowered himself onto Parker's body, pinning him to the bed. Parker writhed underneath him as Colton thrust without mercy. Parker moaned and groaned, begging for Colton to give it him "harder, faster."

That only added fuel to Colton's fire.

Parker turned his head to the side and thrust his neck forward. "Colton, please."

Colton sucked hard at the bruise there. He bit down gently and groaned as he worked Parker's neck.

Parker whimpered. His heels dug into Colton's ass. His hands pulled Colton closer. "Yes, Colt, use your teeth. Bite me."

Colton growled while he gnawed and sucked on Parker's neck, his hips never letting up their relentless rhythm.

"Oh god, I'm so close," Parker moaned. "I love you, Colton. I love you so much."

Colton lifted onto his arms and looked down at Parker. His pup, his mate, was telling him he loved him. He could see it all in his eyes. His voice grew hoarse with emotion. "I love you too, pup."

Parker's eyes filled with tears. He squeezed them shut and shuddered beneath him. He turned his head again, baring his neck and letting out a whimper.

Parker's confession and his submission triggered something in Colton. He thrust wildly and Parker cried out his name in ecstasy. Colton felt his skin starting to tingle. His eyes widened at the realization, but he couldn't stop it. Even when going through puberty, he had never lost control, not like this.

Oh fuck, he couldn't stop it!

His body started to shift. Fur erupted all over his skin as his muscles contracted and then expanded. His ears grew into points and his claws emerged as both sets of canines burst through his upper and lower gums. His eyes shifted and sharpened and zeroed in on the curve of Parker's neck. His cock throbbed and thickened even further. He couldn't pull back, couldn't stop fucking. He jackhammered his expanded cock into his mate's tight ass. He had to. He had to come inside Parker. Nothing else mattered. Except...

He could smell the blood pulsing in the arteries and veins on Parker's exposed and offered neck. The love bites and teeth impressions were vivid against the creamy skin.

"Colton?" Parker whimpered, panic and fear lacing his voice as he felt the changes in Colton's body and his widened eyes zeroed in on the drooling fangs. He gasped. "Colton!"

Operating solely on instinct, Colton struck.

He sank his teeth into the soft, fleshy curve of Parker's neck. His mate cried out and bucked underneath him, his fingernails clawing into the muscles of Colton's now fur-covered back. When he felt the hot splashes and smelled the scent of his mate's semen between their bodies, he sucked hard on his neck, pulling in that sweet, coppery blood, swallowing it down as it pulsed into his mouth with every beat of his love's heart. It was the nectar of the gods; nothing had ever tasted so good.

The half-man/half-beast threw his head back. Blood dripped down his fangs and into his furred chin. His howl reverberated against the room's walls as he filled his mate to overflowing with his release.

* * *

Colton lifted himself up with a loud, drawn gasp as Parker shuddered underneath him, then went limp and passed out.

What the fuck just happened?

He looked down at his body, which had shifted back to normal. He had started to shift into his wolf form, but it was as if he stopped halfway through the process.

His hands were still clenched in the sheets on either side of Parker's body. The sheets were tattered and ripped, clawed straight through the top of the mattress. He ran his tongue over his teeth, relieved that they had receded. He tasted blood in his mouth. Parker's blood.

Even Parker's blood was sweet. Just thinking about the taste made him shudder. His cock jerked and began to stiffen again.

Oh shit, oh fuck. He bit Parker. He broke the skin with his teeth.

Parker's eyes rolled back into his head and his back arched violently as his entire body spasmed uncontrollably. His neck wound looked like raw ground meat and the spasm caused blood to spray from the bite.

Colton's bite.

"Parker!" Colton shouted, trying to wake him. "Pup! Oh my god." Tears prickled Colton's eyes. "I'm sorry, pup. Oh, Jesus. I didn't mean to..."

He jumped from the bed and scooped Parker up in his arms. He ran to his bathroom and kicked the door open with his foot. He laid Parker's spasming body down on the floor as gently as he could, then turned on the bathtub faucets.

As he grabbed a handful of towels, he heard a noise downstairs. He sniffed the air as someone entered the house.

"Dad!" he screamed as loud as he could.

His father raced up the stairs and burst into the bedroom. Carlton Butler gasped at the sight of Parker's bloody body seizing on the floor of his son's bathroom.

"Dad," Colton cried. "Help me!"

"You bit him?"

"I didn't mean to. I don't know what came over me."

Carlton grabbed his hair in his fists. "Jesus Christ, Colton! Turning a human is a punishable offense. You know this! It's been drilled into your fucking head every god damned week from the time you grew baby teeth. What the hell were you thinking?"

Colton didn't need his father yelling and cussing at him. That would not help Parker. "I didn't mean to do it. I couldn't help myself. Now help me, Dad. Help. Me. Now!"

Carlton nearly stumbled at the raw power in his son's voice. He immediately obeyed without question, squatting down and holding Parker's head, trying to keep it from banging against the floor, while Colton tried to press a towel against the human's neck wound.

Parker's skin was pale and grey. His eyes rolled back in his head until they were white. The cords in his neck pushed out, causing a spurt of blood to spray out onto the tiled floor. Colton gasped as Parker's body arched violently as his body slammed against the floor over and over.

Parker's seizures suddenly stopped and he slumped to the floor, totally limp.

A sob escaped Colton's mouth. His mate was dying. He had killed his mate. "Parker... Pup..."

The deputy pressed his fingers to the unwounded side of Parker's neck. "He's alive. His pulse is steady."

Colton let out a relieved sigh. "Thank god."

He shook his head to clear it, then wiped away the tears with his fist. He wet a towel in the tub and then used it to wash away the blood on Parker's neck. The bite mark was no longer bleeding. The teeth marks were clearly visible inside an angry bruise, red in color, but instead of looking fresh and raw, it looked like it was already a day or so old. Colton re-wet the towel and wiped the wound again.

Colton moved to cradle Parker's head in his lap. "I'm sorry, pup," he whispered. "I didn't mean to do this to you. Please forgive me."

"He'll be okay," Carlton said. "For now. He still has to survive the turning at the next full moon."

Carlton pushed to his feet and looked down at the scene, and really took it in for the first time. His eyes noticed the dried blood on the whiskers on his son's chin. The bite on the boy's neck was... intimate. This was no attack bite. As the urgency of the situation wore off, he finally realized that his son and the boy were both completely naked. Please let it not be what it looks like. He nudged the boy's legs slightly apart with his foot and looked between them, underneath his scrotum. The bottom of his stomach fell out when he saw the semen.

He stumbled and leaned against the sink. "What have you done?" he said in horror.

Colton lifted his chin up defiantly. "I told you. I didn't mean to. It was instinct. I'll take whatever punishment I deserve, but I won't give him up."

"Do you even know what you have done?" Carlton's voice raised and took on a panicked tone. "You not only turned him... You mated him, didn't you?"

Colton looked at his dad with a frown. "I did? How?"

"You bit him, exchanged blood and saliva, while you ejaculated inside him."

"I didn't know that was how you did it. I knew Parker was my mate," Colton said quietly. "I've known since we moved here, my first day of school last year." He lovingly stroked the hair from Parker's forehead. His eyes were drawn to what would be a permanent mating scar on his pup's neck. "I can feel it, Dad. The mating bond."

"You shouldn't have mated him, Colton. Not without the Alpha's permission. Not only is he a male, he's a human."

"I know that," Colton snapped. "You don't think I know that? I told you, I couldn't control my wolf. It was... It was like instinct. I partially shifted while we were making love. Before I bit him. I couldn't stop it."

Carlton tried not to gasp in shock. "You what?"

"I shifted but not all the way."

"I have to call the Alpha."

"Do what you have to," Colton said, never taking his eyes off of his boy. After wiping him down, he cradled Parker in his arms and carefully carried him back to his bed.

* * *

"Colton!"

Parker bolted upright, gasping and screaming.

"I'm right here, pup," Colton soothed. "It's okay."

"What happened?" His hand darted up to his neck. He felt the wound there, which felt scarred and tender to the touch. His eyes widened as he looked at Colton. "You... Something happened to you. You changed... while we were... You bit me!"

Parker pushed away from Colton, scrambling to the corner of the bed. The look of hurt on the big jock's face nearly ripped his heart in two.

"Parker, please."

"What are you?" Parker whispered as he cowered in the corner.

Colton's eyes filled with tears. He reached out his hand to Parker. "I won't hurt you, Parker. I promise. You have to believe me. I would never hurt you. I love you. I'm not a monster, pup."

Parker did believe him. He couldn't take seeing Colton in pain anymore. It was like he could physically feel the other man's anguish. If he could stop that, then he would. He moved forward and took Colton's hand. "I believe you."

Colton moved and sat cross-legged on the bed. The two settled on the bed facing each other, holding each other's hands.

"I'm a lycan," Colton finally said. "A shapeshifter. Specifically, a wolf shifter."

Parker opened and closed his mouth a few times. He couldn't believe what he was hearing, but he remembered. He had seen it with his own eyes. Colton was on top of him, inside him, making love to him. His eyes flashed a golden amber, the first sign that something was happening. As he held onto Colton's back, he could feel the muscles rippling, and then there was so much fur underneath his hands. And those teeth....

Parker shuddered. Oh god.

"You're telling me that you're a... a werewolf?"

"No. Not really a werewolf. We only turn into wolves, not like in the movies."

"But you did. You turned into a, uh, half-man werewolf thing."

"Yeah, I don't know how I did that. I know that alphas can do it, but I've never seen ours do it. I've never heard of it happening to a beta wolf like me. I have no freaking idea how I did it."

Parker gasped and his eyes widened in understanding. "It was you. The wolf was you."

Colton nodded. "I told you. I've been watching you, pup. You're my mate."

Parker swallowed. "What does that mean?"

"It means you're mine. You belong to me, pup. You're it for me, Parker. I will love only you until I die. We belong together."

Parker took a deep breath and let it out slowly. There was one question he needed to know the answer to, but at the same time he didn't want to know the answer.

"Am I... Did you... turn me into a... one of you?"

Colton looked away and nodded his head.

Parker pulled away as tears overflowed and fell down his cheeks. "I need some time, Colton. I need to think."

"Pup... Parker. Please."

Parker had to turn away from Colton. He couldn't take the suffering in his boyfriend's voice, that look of sheer pain on his face and the unshed tears in his eyes.

Parker quickly dressed. "I'll call you, okay? Please don't try to contact me. I need time to think and I can't do that if you're around."

Parker shut the door behind him. When he heard the anguished wolf howls coming from Colton's bedroom, a sob ripped from his throat and tears poured from his eyes. He covered his ears and ran as fast as he could.



Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 07



Every step Parker took away from Colton tore at his heart. The further away he got, the sicker to his stomach he felt. He kept wiping the tears away with the sleeve of his sweatshirt--Colton's sweatshirt.

Once he couldn't run anymore, he slowed down to a walk. The walk home took an hour or so, which gave him time to think. Unfortunately, his mind was utterly blank. He was like a zombie, wandering on autopilot towards his home.

But something kept pulling him back to Colton, telling him to turn around. Trying to ignore that pull made his head hurt.

When Parker finally reached home, he quietly snuck up to his bedroom, kicked off his shoes, pulled his hoodie off and flung it over the headboard.

Still in zombie mode, he went into his bathroom and relieved himself. As he washed his hands, he took a good look at himself in the mirror. His eyes were puffy and bloodshot. His nose was runny. He looked like death. When he tilted his head to the right, he finally got a look at the bite mark.

He pulled the collar of his t-shirt to the side so that he could see it better. There it was at the base of the left side of his neck. The bite was angry: red, purple and bruised, the colors vivid against his fair skin. He could see the teeth marks, where the beast's fangs had punctured and tore into his skin.

Parker reached up with his left hand and his eye caught the bracelet. It seemed like yesterday that Colton gave him the bracelet and tied it around his wrist. With a smile on his face, he ghosted his fingers across the scar.

He gasped as he was overwhelmed with sensations. The image of the Colton beast sinking his teeth into him flashed across his mind. He gripped the sink with both hands as his knees buckled. The bite was super-sensitive to the touch, a mixture of pain with a hint of pleasure. Bile rose in his throat. He choked back a gag, and closed his eyes until his stomach no longer felt like it was trying to crawl out of his mouth.

He reached into his medicine cabinet and grabbed the aspirin bottle and shook out a pair of pills. He popped the pills and washed them down with a palmful of water. After washing his face, he patted dry with a towel and walked back into his room.

Parker walked to his bed and flung himself into it. He pulled the covers over his head and curled up into a fetal ball. Clutching at his rolling stomach, he closed his eyes and tried to calm his nausea.

Parker believed Colton when he said he didn't do it on purpose. And he believed him when he said he would never hurt Parker. He had to believe. If it wasn't true, then everything about Colton was a lie.

Of course, none of that changed the fact that Colton Butler was a werewolf.

A freaking werewolf!

Not only that, Colton had turned him into one. How the hell was he supposed to deal with that? How could Colton have done that to him? Maybe he was dreaming. Maybe he was crazy.

Parker had never really given any thought to the paranormal. What else was out there that he had to worry about? Vampires? Demons? Fairies? Ghosts?

Thinking back, some of Colton's behavior now made sense: the sniffing, the biting, the pissing. Parker scoffed out loud. Maybe Colton was the crazy one who should be locked up in a mental institution.

No, Parker had seen it with his own eyes. He squeezed his eyes shut and shuddered. He would never be able to get out of his head the image of that half-man/half-beast on top of him, thrusting into his body. Parker was horrified, but what was even more horrifying was that his dick started to stiffen from the memory.

He rolled onto his back and stared at the ceiling, trying not to remember.

Parker should have known that there had to be something wrong with Colton. Really, no one was that perfect. And to Parker, Colton Butler was indeed perfect.

Parker could just cut his losses and run, but how could he deny Colton? Especially now. He would need him. When he transformed -- oh my god, holy shit, what the fuck?! -- he would need Colton.

Hell, he needed him now. Parker was hopelessly in love with Colton. He would rather die than live without Colton. The rest of the stuff was huge -- so huge -- but ultimately, did it really matter?

And that really was the heart of the matter. Could Parker live without Colton in his life?

No.

Colton was the one.

Colton was his mate.

He closed his eyes. He was exhausted, but he couldn't sleep. He kept seeing the werewolf Colton in his head. Parker's dick throbbed in his underwear and began to ooze pre-come.

Drawing in a ragged breath, he unsnapped his jeans and pushed them down. He shoved his hand into his underwear and gripped the base of his cock, intending to hold back the arousal. He grabbed his pillow and pulled it over his face and squeezed his eyes shut, trying to smother out the memories.

The beast thrust into Parker relentlessly, hard and fast, pinning him down to the bed with his big body, just the way he liked it. He shouldn't have liked it, but he did. Those fangs were razor sharp, dripping with saliva. Colton's body was covered in hair. He was bigger, stronger, harder. And so was his cock.

The memory of Colton biting his neck pushed to the forefront. After that initial shock of agonizing pain, Parker remembered the unexpected waves of ecstasy that slammed into him. And like he did then, he came.

Parker cried out into the pillow as he filled his underwear with semen.

Physically drained and mentally exhausted, Parker fell into a dead sleep, his hand still inside his messy briefs.

* * *

Completely naked, Parker chased the black wolf deeper into the forest, calling out its name in desperation. The forest was cold, wet and foggy, lit only by the light of the full moon, high and bright in the partially cloudy night sky.

A figure stepped out of the dark. Still bathed in shadows, the steel grey eyes were icy cold.

Parker stopped. He backed away as the man began to transform. Grey fur sprouted from his body as his features began to morph.

Parker turned and ran. He knew this time the grey wolf wouldn't let him escape. The wolf was going to kill him this time.

He screamed for Colton, but he couldn't find him. He stumbled through the forest like a clumsy oaf, calling for his boyfriend, his wolf, his mate.

The grey beast was behind him, closing in. Parker could feel its hot breath on his back.

Parker hit a patch of muddy leaves and skidded, tumbling down a hill.

The grey wolf slowly stalked closer and closer, circling like a predator. Parker's heart pounded in his ears. He screamed for Colton, but he didn't come. Parker had denied Colton and his wolf had left him.

Fighting back tears, feeling naked and vulnerable, Parker picked up a big rock and threw it at the predator as hard as he could.

The rock hit the wolf's head and bounced away, making a sound like a spoon tapping a glass:

Tink.

Parker opened his eyes.

He pulled the covers off his head and sat up.

Ugh. His hand was gross, all crusty and sticky. He pulled it free of his underwear, and after wiping his hand on his bed sheets, he waited and listened for a moment...

Tink.

Something had tapped at the bedroom window pane.

He tried to focus his eyes, but everything was blurry. He grabbed his glasses from the nightstand and put them on. That made it even worse.

What the hell?

There was yet another tap at the window.

Parker tossed the glasses back onto the nightstand and blinked a few times. Strange. He was still wearing his contacts. He pulled down on his lower eyelid and carefully pulled his right lens out. He covered his left eye. He could see almost as well as he could when wearing the lenses. He pulled the left lens out and tossed the useless pieces of plastic onto the nightstand.

Tink. Another tap at the window.

He knew it was Colton without even looking. Logically, it wouldn't be anyone else. But there was more to it than that. He just knew that he was close by. He wasn't sure how he knew, but he did.

He walked over to the window and looked out. It was dark, but he could see the outline of Colton sitting on a branch of the big oak tree with a handful of acorns.

Parker pulled open the window and knelt down. "Colton," he whispered. "What are you doing here?"

"I couldn't sleep. I can't wait, Parker. I know you said you needed time to think..."

Parker sighed. "I know, I know. You couldn't wait. You just have to have things your way, don't you?"

"Yes," he said, completely unrepentant. "Let me in."

"Wait. How did you get up in that tree? You know what? Never mind."

"Open the window screen, pup."

Parker unlocked the screen and tugged at it, trying to remove it from the window frame, but it was painted in place. He gave it a good yank and it finally came free with a bang. The noise made him cringe and he listened for a few seconds to make sure no one was coming to see what was going on.

Colton stood up on the branch and hopped. Parker gasped in surprise as Colton gripped the window casing with his hands. His feet were firmly planted against the wall below. He lifted up with his hands and effortlessly climbed through the window and into the room.

Parker looked at him with his mouth agape. "How the heck-- Never mind." Parker shook his head. He didn't know if he'd ever get used to knowing how Colton did the things he did. When Colton sniffed at him and raised a brow, Parker's face began to flush warm. He muttered, "Let me go clean up real quick."

Parker used the bathroom, then washed his hands. He stripped off his underwear and used a wash cloth and tried to clean up the mess he had made. He grabbed a pair of sweat shorts he had left on the bathroom floor and slipped them on and walked back into the bedroom.

Colton was still standing in the middle of the room, his hands shoved into his pockets, staring down at the floor.

Parker had never seen Colton like this. Nervous. Uncertain.

Parker thought maybe there was some insecurity behind Colton's arrogant and cocky attitude, but Colton had never shown it outright.

He didn't like it and he needed to fix it.

He grabbed Colton's arm, pulling his hand from his pocket. He pulled the big... wolfman?... towards the bed.

"Come on, Colt. We need to talk." He walked over to the door and turned the lock on the knob. He didn't need anyone barging in. "And we might as well get comfortable."

Parker pulled off his t-shirt and socks and climbed into the bed. Colton did the same, stripping down to his boxers. He pulled the covers up over them and they lay down on the bed facing each other.

Colton reached up and brushed a stray lock of hair from Parker's forehead. "I missed you, pup," he whispered. Colton's eyes turned glassy and he blinked several times.

Colton's vulnerability made Parker love Colton just a little bit more. Once again, he knew that he was seeing a side of Colton that no one else ever saw. It was something special, reserved only for him.

Parker subconsciously leaned into Colton's hand, his body craving the touch of his man. Even though it had only been hours since they last saw each other, he understood exactly how Colton felt. He wanted nothing more than Colton's kisses and touches, wanted to soothe him and tell him everything would be okay.

But first they had to talk.

"What do I need to know, Colton?" he whispered.

"The next full moon... you'll shift. You won't be able to control it. Once you do it that first time, you'll be able to do it whenever you want. But for the first few months, the full moon will always make you change. You won't be able to stop it. After that first time, when you shift back to your human shape, you'll notice some differences. Your senses will be heightened. You'll be stronger. You're probably already starting to notice some changes, right?"

"Yeah. My vision is better."

"It'll get even better after your first change. Your body is also developing an allergy to silver. So if you have any, you might want to get rid of it now. Once it kicks in, it'll burn the hell out of your skin."

"Ouch."

"Yeah. It hurts like a son of a bitch. But you'll heal faster. After your first shift you'll find that old wounds and scars have healed. Except for the bite." Colton ran his fingers across Parker's neck, making the smaller boy shudder and whimper. "You'll always bear my mark."

Parker tried to ignore what Colton was doing to him. He wanted to roll over and beg for Colton to fuck him.

"When you're a wolf, are you like an animal or are you still Colton?"

"My animal instincts and senses come to the forefront, but I'm still me. Just four-legged and furry."

"Who changed you?"

"I wasn't turned. I was born this way." Parker's eyes widened. "No, not like a puppy. I was born in my human shape," he added with a chuckle. "We don't shift for the first time until we're going through puberty when our hormone production surges. Something about testosterone. I wasn't really paying attention. Anyway. Full-blooded shifters pass the trait down to their pups. Uh, you know, their kids."

Parker gasped softly. "So, your dad is one, too?"

"Yes."

"Who else? Jed and Trey are, aren't they?"

"Yeah, Jed and Trey... There are others."

"Seth and TJ? That's why TJ's arm was healed the next day at school?"

Colton nodded. "Yeah. He shifted into his wolf, then shifted back."

"That's it? That fixed it?"

"Well, his arm was probably sore and tender. And he was probably exhausted and starving when he shifted back but yeah. That's it."

"Wait a minute, so when you piss all over the place, you really are marking your territory?"

Colton chuckled. "Yeah. Smelling my scent everywhere pisses off Seth, so that's a bonus. It reminds him that I beat him in a challenge. It reminds him that I run the school."

"Seth is Sheriff Forrest's son. The sheriff's a wolf, too?"

"Yes. Sheriff's the pack alpha, the leader of the Forest View Wolf Pack, which encompasses most of the tri-county area. We're a big pack."

It was a lot to take in and process. They laid together in silence for a while.

"You should have told me," Parker finally said.

"I wanted to. This wasn't how I planned on telling you."

"If you had told me, then I would have had a choice. You took that away." Parker's voice cracked and his eyes teared up.

Colton leaned his head closer. He let out a ragged breath. "I know. I'm so damn sorry, Parker. I would take it all back if I could. I know this is going to come as a surprise... but I'm not perfect."

Parker let out a soft laugh. He sniffled and wiped his eyes. "So I noticed."

"Do you think you can ever forgive me?"

Parker was silent for a moment. He then placed a hand on Colton's chest. "Can I see it?"

"You can see it anytime you want, pup. You know that." Colton leaned in and gave Parker a quick kiss as he shimmied his boxer shorts off. He grabbed Parker's hand and wrapped it around his already erect cock.

Parker laughed. He knew that Colton did that on purpose to try to ease some of the tension and it worked. It felt good to laugh. "Not that, you goof. The wolf."

Colton got out of bed. He stood naked in the middle of Parker's bedroom, with a dick as hard as steel, still looking a little uncertain. "I won't hurt you. Don't be scared. And whatever you do, don't run. My wolf will think you're playing and it will hunt you and make you submit."

"If you're trying to soothe my nerves, you're not helping." He let out a slow breath. "Okay. I'm ready. Show me."

Colton kept his eyes locked on Parker as he dropped down to a crouch on all fours. His bones popped, cracked and stretched as his muscles rippled. The noise was disturbing enough to make Parker cringe, and the sight of it was horrific.

Black hair erupted from his skin, completely covering his body as his face began to change. His teeth grew into fangs and his ears grew into points as his mouth and nose pushed out into a muzzle. A tail grew from his butt as his legs turned into a wolf's haunches. Fingers and toes morphed into razor sharp claws as his hands and feet changed into paws.

Parker tried not to be terrified, tried not to look away in horror as his boyfriend transformed and morphed into a beast right in front of his eyes.

The entire change took about five or six seconds in total, and when it was done, a large black wolf now stood on all fours where Colton had been.

Parker stared open-mouthed at the animal.

The black wolf slowly stalked towards the bed and climbed on. The box springs and frame creaked under the large animal's weight. Parker remained perfectly still, not wanting to provoke the Colton beast.

Colton's raspy tongue rolled out and licked the side of Parker's face, leaving a trail of slobber.

Parker let out the breath he was holding. "Knock it off," he whined as he wiped his cheek.

Parker looked into the animal's dark eyes and saw Colton staring back at him. It was more than a little unnerving.

"It is you, isn't it?" he whispered.

The wolf's snout rubbed along Parker's neck and inhaled and snorted. When his tongue slicked across the tender bite mark, Parker shuddered and let out a soft involuntary moan as a shock-wave of ecstasy coursed through his body.

His face flushed with embarrassment as his dick went totally stiff. "Don't," he whimpered, mortified at his reaction to the wolf, even if it technically was Colton.

Parker tried to move under the blankets, but the wolf grabbed the blankets in his teeth and tugged them down until Parker's body was exposed to him. He licked a line up Parker's belly up to his chin, then laid down on top of Parker, making Parker grunt from the sudden weight.

"Uh, Colton, you're gonna need to get your wolf dick off me, because it's really freaking me out."

The Colton wolf growled and pumped his unsheathed erection against Parker one time before reluctantly moving to lay down at Parker's side.

"Ew," Parker whispered as he looked down at his belly. Colton had left a slimy and copious trail of pre-come on him. Parker could smell the musky scent he knew to be Colton wafting off the slime. "Are you marking me with your scent?"

Colton made a huffing noise that Parker took to be a "yes." He then slid closer to Parker and laid his head on his hands -- er, his paws.

Parker snuggled into the warm, soft fur and put his arm around him. "That's better." He rubbed his nose against Colton's neck and breathed in that distinct scent that was all Colton. He became lightheaded as the intense smell overwhelmed him momentarily. As his head cleared, he was able to pick out the individual scents that made up Colton's smell.

Wow.

What was strange was the fact that it felt perfectly natural for Parker to be lying in bed with a huge-ass wolf. Well, it wasn't just any wolf -- the wolf was Colton Butler, his wolf. Parker knew then that he had, without a doubt, made the right decision to be with Colton.

If he could embrace the beast in Colton, then he'd have to do the same with himself.

"You're beautiful, Colton," he said as he stroked his fur. Colton just watched him with those coal black eyes. "I love you, Colton. I want to be with you. It doesn't matter what you are. Uh, well, what we are. And I do forgive you."

Colton stood and stepped away from Parker. He shifted back into his human form, then flopped onto the bed next to Parker and pulled the covers up over them. He lay down on his side facing his boy.

Parker felt a deep need to touch his mate. Mate. The word seemed to come so easily to him now. Colton was his man and his mate.

Reconnecting with Colton, Parker ran a hand over Colton's wide, hairy chest. Pushing his fingers through the curls of hair, he felt the planes of the hard muscles underneath. The tips of his fingers brushed against a nipple. The small nub stiffened under Parker's fingers. Parker twisted and pinched it with a lover's vengeance, making Colton grunt from the sudden shock of pain.




Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 07



Parker narrowed his eyes to a hard glare. "Don't ever lie to me or keep secrets from me again."

Colton stared into Parker's eyes, then tipped his head, baring his neck.

The significance of Colton's action wasn't lost on Parker. Colton submitted to no one, but here he was, bowing to Parker. Parker let out a soft breath. He leaned forward and planted a series of small kisses down Colton's neck as he soothed his fingers over the abused nipple. He laid back and watched his mate while he absentmindedly twirled his fingers through the patch of hair covering Colton's breast bone.

"No more secrets," Colton promised. He closely watched Parker's face for a few moments. "You're taking this way better than I thought you would."

"I think I'm still in shock... But..." He let out a deep breath. "The thought of being without you... it's worse. Worse than anything I can think of. I can't live without you."

Parker felt the sting of tears in his eyes. He cuddled close to his man and laid his head on Colton's chest. He stroked the hair on those muscular pecs, then realized he had been doing the same thing when Colton was in his wolf form.

He liked touching Colton. Touching Colton soothed him.

Parker always liked the way Colton smelled and now that scent was so intense. Parker lifted his head and sniffed at Colton's armpit. He closed his eyes and let out a soft hum of approval.

Colton chuckled. "You are so fucking cute when you twitch your nose like that."

Parker looked up at Colton, who leaned in and nipped his teeth on the end of Parker's nose.

Parker let out a quiet laugh and laid his head back on Colton's chest. He swirled a finger through the hairs surrounding Colton's belly button. "When it happens... You'll help me? Will it hurt?"

Colton pulled Parker closer and tightened his arms around him. "Of course I'll help you, pup. I won't lie. It hurts like a bitch the first time, but it gets a lot easier after that."

"The last time you said those words, you were right. Of course, you were talking about butt sex."

Colton laughed. "Butt sex?"

Parker groaned and buried his face in Colton's chest. "Oh god. I'm such a dork."

"Yeah, but you're my dork."

"Right. My point is I'll have to trust you about this, too."

"Would I ever steer you wrong?"

"That remains to be seen." Parker laughed softly, then added, "I know you'd never steer me wrong. I trust you with my life."

"You should know that wolf shifters are very territorial. And when it comes to our mates... well, I will be very possessive and protective towards you."

"You 'will' be? What do you mean 'will be'? You've been protective of me, even before we started dating."

"Well, that was before my bite bonded us. Just be patient with me." Colton leaned close, kissed Parker's head, then buried his nose in his hair and breathed in deeply. "You smell different. I didn't realize it until my wolf smelled you."

"What do I smell like?"

"You smell like me now. It's like your sweetness is mixed in with my musky, woodsy scent. Anyone who smells you will know you're mine."

Colton grinned, clearly pleased with himself.

Parker wanted to roll his eyes. Yeah, Colton was apparently back to his normal self. "So, I smell sweet, huh?"

"Mm-hmm. Like a sweet spring rain. I'd recognize your scent anywhere, pup. I'd follow it to the ends of the earth."

Parker straddled Colton's body, placing his knees on either side of Colton's waist. "When you say things like that, it gets me so freaking hot."

Colton slid his hands up and down Parker's thighs, then up his smooth chest. He rubbed the hard nipples with his thumbs, making Parker moan softly.

Parker could feel Colton's cock pressing into his taint. It jerked and throbbed underneath him and he just had to taste it. He shimmied down Colton's body, then lifted Colton's dick and took it into his mouth. Slow and deep, just like Colton liked it. He fondled and pulled at his nuts while he sucked until Colton's cock was throbbing and ready for release. He knew he could easily make Colton come with his mouth, but he decided that he wanted it inside him.

"The lube is in the drawer," Parker whispered after he lifted his head. "But we have to be quiet."

Colton chuckled as he pulled open the drawer and handed Parker the bottle. "You're telling me to be quiet."

Parker poured a healthy amount into his hand, and rubbed his fingers across his hole. He then reached back and gripped Colton's boner and slicked it up and down. He raised his hips and positioned the head and eased his way down the thick shaft.

Slowly and steadily, he rode Colton's cock. Their hands roamed over each other, touching and feeling. Colton let Parker take the lead. His hips pushed up with each of Parker's movements, but this time he let Parker take control.

Colton felt so good inside him, but in this position he wasn't getting direct stimulation on his own dick. He looked down at the red, throbbing shaft. He slid his hips up and pushed back down. When it hit his prostate, he pressed his lips together to keep from moaning. His dick jerked and dribbled pre-come onto Colton's stomach, getting lost in the hair.

Parker placed his hand on Colton's and nudged it. He looked down at Colton, silently pleading for his touch.

Colton pulled Parker down for a kiss with one hand while the other wrapped around Parker's slick hard-on. Their tongues tangled as they moaned softly into each other's mouths.

Parker whispered against Colton's lips. "I wanna make you come. I want you to come inside me."

Colton's eyes fluttered closed and he grit his teeth together, trying his best to be quiet.

They quietly made love in Parker's bed, stifling their groans of pleasure until they brought each other to an intense climax.

The feeling of Colton's dick throbbing inside him, filling him with that molten hot spunk set Parker off. He shot over and over, coating Colton's hand and his belly with his sticky load.

Parker slumped forward and fell on top of Colton's hot, sweaty body. He didn't even care that their stomachs would be glued together with his come.

Parker lay on top of Colton, trying to catch his breath. He could hear Colton's heartbeat as his hard chest rose up and down under his head. His eyes drifted shut and he fell asleep with his boyfriend--his mate--still throbbing inside him.

He didn't feel Colton roll them over onto their sides. Colton spooned up behind him, covering and protecting his smaller form with his own bigger body.

* * *

Parker was startled awake by the knock on his bedroom door. "Parker."

"Just a minute, Dad," he called out. He scrambled over Colton's naked body. "Hide," he hissed.

The big jock jumped out of bed and scooped up his clothes and dashed into the bathroom as the door knob turned.

Thank god the door was locked. Parker pulled the blanket off his bed and wrapped himself up in it.

An impatient knock, then, "Parker."

Remembering the scarred and bruised bite on his neck, Parker covered it with his hand and unlocked the door and opened it a crack. "Yeah?" he said with a yawn, pretending to stretch.

"Shell is downstairs," his father said.

"Oh. Okay. Um. I'll be right down."

Barney eyed him suspiciously. "Are you okay?"

"What? Yeah. I'm fine."

Parker shut the door in his dad's frowning face. Colton stepped out of the bathroom fully dressed. "I better go. I'll call you, okay? I'm pretty sure the Alpha is gonna wanna see you."

Parker's eyes widened. He picked up the pair of sweatpants hanging on the back of his desk chair and slid into them. "Really?" He grabbed a t-shirt and pulled that over his head. "Why?"

"Yeah," Colton said with a shrug. "I might be in trouble for turning you. It's kinda against the law."

Parker didn't like that. He could tell that Colton was making light of it, shrugging it off like it wasn't a big deal. He knew that Colton was doing it for his benefit, not wanting him to worry. He could see in Colton's eyes that it was more than that. What he had done was a really big deal.

"You didn't mean to. I'll testify to that if you need me to."

"It doesn't work like that." Colton looked up towards the door and his nostrils flared. "I'll call you, okay?" He rubbed his thumb across his mating bite, then pressed his lips to Parker's one last time. "I love you, pup."

"I love you, too."

"Thank you for last night. Spending the night with you was very special to me." Colton gave Parker one last caress across his cheek, then turned to leave.

Parker watched Colton hurry to the window. Colton yanked it open and jumped, easily landing on the ground below in a crouch. Parker watched slack-jawed as Colton pushed to his feet and then took off running into the woods.

"What are you looking at?"

Parker yelped and turned around, clutching his chest as Shell pushed him aside and looked out the window.

"Nothing. And stop sneaking up on people." Parker yanked the window shut and pulled the curtain over it.

"Hey, don't be giving me no stank attitude. Where the heck have you been, boy?"

"Nowhere," Parker said, trying to shrug casually. He picked up Colton's hoodie and pulled it on, hoping that it covered the bruised scar on his neck.

"Oh, I see how it is. You're one of those kind of girls. You get a man, and you just toss your friends to the side."

"What? I am not like that. I've just been... busy. And besides, you've been all hunched up on Curtis, so you're not around just as much."

"You been busy gettin' busy, you mean," she said with a laugh. "And Curtis..." She let out a sigh and turned serious. "Damn, he's fine. He's so intense. I can't say 'no' to the boy. It's weird, you know. I've never been like that with anyone else."

Parker's eyebrows raised. "So you two have... you know... done it?"

"A lady doesn't kiss and tell."

Before Parker could put his two cents in, Shell flopped down onto Parker's bed, then lifted her hand and stared at it. She looked up at Parker in absolute horror. "Oh my god, boys are so damned nasty!"

She jumped up off the bed and ran into Parker's bathroom.

Parker grimaced in embarrassment and pulled the semen stained sheets off the bed. He followed Shell into the bathroom, where she was at the sink scrubbing her hands as hard as she could. Parker tossed the sheets into the laundry hamper and grabbed a fresh pair from the linen closet.

Parker had just finished making the bed when Shell came out from the bathroom.

She turned around, trying to look at her clothes in the mirror on the back of Parker's door. "I don't have any on me, do I?"

"No. Stop being so dramatic."

She shot Parker a dirty look and sat down in his desk chair after giving it a thorough inspection. "I swear, hooker, if I get pregnant..."

Parker rolled his eyes. "If you get pregnant, don't blame me."

Shell smiled and swiveled in the chair. "So, if I did get pregnant, would I be having your baby or Colton's baby?"

"Oh my god," Parker muttered and his face went red.

Shell gasped in fake shock and clutched the non-existent pearls around her neck. "You tramp! Have you been sneaking him in here?"

"Sometimes before school, or after school. And he kinda spent the night last night. Things have been... crazy."

"So I guess 'Like a Virgin' is off your playlist now."

Parker laughed nervously. "Whatever."

"Slut."

Parker dropped down onto his bed. "I can't help it. I mean, have you seen Colton? I just can't say no to him."

"I know what you mean," Shell muttered.

Even though they were the only two in the room, Shell looked around and leaned forward and lowered her voice. "You know, speaking of pregnant sluts... I heard that Kim Reynolds has been hooking up with Seth Forrest. And the past two days she's been puking in the girl's bathroom." She held her hands up and spun around in the chair. "I'm just sayin'..."

Parker's mouth dropped open. "Oh. My. God. I thought you were gonna say you were pregnant."

"I'm gonna smack the shit out of you. Do I look like I'm stupid? I'm talking about Kim and Seth."

Parker's eyes widened with realization. "Oh God. Seth. He's a--"

"He's an ass," Shell finished.

Yeah. And a freakin' werewolf. Just like his babies would be.

Parker's cell phone rang and he picked it up and looked at the screen. "It's Colton."

As he answered the phone, Shell jumped up and slid next to him and put her ear next to Parker's. Parker waved her away. He got up and went into the bathroom. "Hello?"

"Hey, pup. There's a mandatory pack meeting in two hours. You have to be there. I think the shit's gonna hit the fan."

* * *

Colton was in the middle of setting up a surprise for Parker when he got the call from his father about the pack meeting. He had to abandon his plans so that he could pick Parker up to get to the meeting on time.

His old pack put down turned humans if they were felt to be dangerous. There's no way anyone could ever think Parker was a danger. He wouldn't even entertain the idea that Alpha would do that to Parker. The worst possible thing he could imagine was that the pack would reject Parker and exile him. Colton wouldn't let them take Parker away from him. That was not an option. He would fight whoever he needed to make sure that did not happen.

By the time they arrived at the Alpha's country home, Colton was nervous. He didn't let it show, but he was sure things were going to be bad. He tried to sugarcoat it for Parker, but his pup was smart.

He parked the car in the grassy field designated for parking and he and Parker got out. Parker looked around, taking everything in.

The house was a large Tudor revival home and to Parker, here for the first time, it must have looked quite impressive sitting on a huge plot of land. The Alpha also owned much of the forest around his home. It was used for many pack gatherings.

Colton walked around the front of the car to get to Parker.

"The Sheriff lives here?" Parker asked as he looked around. "I didn't know that Seth's family was this loaded. No wonder he acts like a spoiled brat."

"Mm-hmm," Colton answered. He gently pushed Parker against the car and leaned into him. His hands moved to either side of the smaller man who belonged to him. He leaned his head down close. He breathed in Parker's new scent and it calmed him.

He grabbed the hem of Parker's polo shirt and yanked it over his head.

"Colton!" Parker hissed as he tried to grab the shirt.

Colton tossed it into the back floor of the car. He rifled through his gym bag and pulled out one of his t-shirts. Colton had sweat through it during his last workout. It was ripe with his scent. It was perfect.

"What are you doing?" Parker asked as Colton pushed the t-shirt over his neck, then helped with the sleeves.

The baggy loose-fitting shirt exposed his neck and collarbone enough that everyone would see the fresh mating bite. He wanted everyone to know that Parker was his. He was proud to be mated to Parker Montgomery and he was going to show off his pup to the pack. Colton leaned in and lapped his tongue across the bite, grinning smugly when Parker's knees buckled.

Parker pulled the collar of the shirt up to his nose and sniffed. He wrinkled his nose and let the shirt drop back down. "Are you gonna piss on my shoes next?" asked Parker.

There was no heat behind his words and Colton laughed. "If there's a chance that someone might not know that you belong to me, then I might just have to do that."

"Yeah, I think they'll figure it out."

Parker let out a sigh and put his arms around Colton. Colton could feel him trembling. He rubbed his chin up Parker's neck, and across his jaw, letting his rough whiskers scrape across Parker's smooth skin.

"It's gonna be okay," Colton whispered, trying to soothe the boy's nerves.

Parker looked up at him, the worry and fear in his eyes easily readable. "I'm scared," he said in a hushed voice.

Colton moved a hand to Parker's neck. His thumb stroked the jaw line. "You don't need to be scared. You're mine, pup. You wear my mark and my scent. I may be young, but I'm no whelp. I'm big and strong. You're my mate and I will protect you until my last breath. If anyone dares to touch you, I will kill them. They have no choice but to accept you into the pack."

"I'm not worried about me... well maybe a little, but I'm worried about you. I don't want you to get in trouble. You couldn't help what happened. It was instinct, like you said. It's not your fault. And please don't kill anybody."

Colton laughed. "I'll try. Don't worry about me. I can handle myself." He flexed his arms, making his massive biceps bulge.

"I know you can." He reached up and wrapped his hands around those biceps and gave them a squeeze. "You're my big, bad wolf. And I am so proud to be your pup."

If it wouldn't have hurt his tough-guy image, Colton would have melted into a puddle of tears. Instead, he leaned down and kissed his boy slowly and sensually, their tongues tangling in each other.

When Colton broke the kiss, he dropped his forehead on Parker's shoulder.

"Do you think anyone would notice if we just left?" Parker whispered into Colton's neck.

Colton chuckled. "Probably."

"So I can't even tempt you with the promise of sex?"

They both laughed. "You tempt me more than you know."

They were interrupted when the rumbling diesel engine of Jed's monster truck pulled up next to Colton's car. Jed and Trey jumped out of the truck.

"What the fuck is going on?" Jed asked Colton, his eyes wide as he looked at the newly mated couple. "What's Parker doing here?"

Trey looked at Parker and blinked. "Holy shit."

Jed turned, took another look, and leaned in and sniffed Parker. His eyes widened even further when he saw the bite scar on Parker's neck. "Holy fuck."

Colton stepped forward and gave Jed a nudge backwards. "Back away from my mate."

Jed held his hands up defensively. "Dude. Come on. For the last time, you know I'm not trying to hit on your pup—er, Parker."

Trey's jaw hung open. "My dad said the meeting was called because someone in the pack bit a human--turned him without permission. I was praying that it wasn't you, but I should have known. But you didn't just turn him. No, you mated him. I can smell it."

"I repeat: Holy. Fuck. How did you do it?" Jed asked. "Mate him, I mean?"

Colton spoke matter-of-factly. "I bit his neck and drank from him while I came inside him."

Parker coughed and choked and looked at Colton with shock. "Colton!"

"What?" He shrugged. "That's how it happened." He looked back at Trey. "Did you find anything?"

Trey shook his head. "No. We thought we found a scent trail by the old water tower. We followed it down to the ravine, but it just disappeared."

"Are you talking about the grey wolf?" Parker asked.

Colton reached up and rubbed his fingers through the back of Parker's hair. "Don't worry about it. We're looking for him."

"I thought he was a wild wolf. But he's one of you-- I mean, one of us."

"Yes," Colton grunted.

"But why would he attack me? I haven't done anything."

"We don't know what he wants," said Trey. "It could be a coincidence. Or he could have smelled Colton on you and it was a territory claim."

Colton ground his teeth and started to growl until Parker nudged him in the ribs with an elbow.

The yard was starting to fill up with cars. Colton checked the time. As he looked around, he saw that everyone was watching him and Parker. He really wished he could shield Parker from all of this. It was time to get this shit over with. Then he could get back to being with his pup.

"Let's go."

Colton grabbed Parker's hand and pulled him close. Trey and Jed flanked the couple and they proudly walked in formation to the backyard where the pack was gathering.

* * *

Parker tried not to be nervous. He tried to remain calm. He was safe. He had Colton on his left side, with Jed close on his right. Trey was also nearby. He had no doubt that the three would protect him with their lives. So what if he was walking into a field full of lycan shapeshifting werewolves? So what if they were prejudiced against him because he's human? Er, was human.




Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 07



No big deal.

Yeah, right!

Parker could tell that all eyes were on him, the newcomer that had been turned without permission. The way they were all looking at him made him feel really uneasy.

His eyes widened as he looked around the field and recognized many of the faces. The cop that caught them making out at the old water tower, Deputy Green, stood among several other cops. He recognized one of his father's golfing buddies standing with the cops.

He also recognized Principal Shaw. Mr. Shaw's hard gaze made Parker drop his eyes to the ground. Homophobic asshole.

Parker couldn't miss the Stone family. Jed's four brothers stood with a woman he assumed was Jed's mom and an older girl that must have been the sister. They weren't paying any attention to Parker, they were all watching Jed.

A muscular black man wearing an expensive business suit motioned Trey to join him and the statuesque woman standing with him. Trey shook his head and remained with Parker and Colton.

Parker drew in a sharp breath when he saw a small group of guys from school, all of them wearing blue and white letter jackets. Seth Forrest stood in front of the group, arms folded over his chest, with a smarmy smirk on his face. Parker really wanted to slap that look off his face.

Shell's boyfriend Curtis was among the jocks standing with Seth. Parker and Curtis exchanged a look.

He would need to talk to Colton about Curtis.

They walked towards Colton's dad, dressed in his brown deputy's uniform, speaking with Sheriff Forrest -- Alpha Forrest. Jed's father stood off to the side of the Alpha, looking menacing with his arms folded across his chest.

As if they sensed the quartet's approach, they turned and looked at Colton, then Parker.

Even without his sheriff's uniform, his massive size and his voice would have conveyed his authority. He was without a doubt the leader of this pack. He turned to Jed's father and quietly spoke.

Jed's father nodded and moved to stand with his family. He looked upon Jed with a small smile that looked completely out of place on his stern face.

"Colton Butler," Alpha Forrest spoke. He spoke normally, but his voice seemed to carry throughout the field as if he shouted. "Step forward."

Colton gave Parker's hand a final squeeze, then let go. He held his chin up high as he walked right up to the Alpha and stood directly in front of him.

Parker moved slightly closer to Jed. Trey stepped sideways, closing the gap. Parker felt his nerves settle a little bit. He would be protected. It was Colton he was worried about. He didn't want Colton to be punished. No one would tell him what the punishments were, and all sorts of horrible things ran through his head. None was worse than being separated from Colton. He couldn't imagine living without the man.

"Colton Butler. You have been accused of breaking one of our most sacred laws: turning a human. How do you plead?"

Colton crossed his arms across his chest. "Not guilty."

"He lies!" Seth shouted as he stepped forward. His finger pointed at Parker accusingly. "Even a blind man could see that bite mark."

The Alpha glanced back at Seth with narrowed, focused eyes. They flashed a bright amber and Seth immediately dropped his head and stepped back into his place.

The Alpha turned his focus back to Colton. He dropped his voice, but his tone became icy and he was practically growling. "Try again, pup."

Colton ground his teeth and suppressed an offended growl. He was no pup and he made it clear that he didn't like being called one. "Not. Guilty. Parker is my mate. Yes, I bit him, but it was on instinct. My wolf would no longer be denied what was his."

The entire crowd erupted in gasps and chatter.

"Silence," the Alpha commanded and the crowd immediately quieted. He turned to Parker. "Step forward, whelp."

Parker wanted to turn and run, but something compelled him to obey the powerful wolf. He clearly didn't move fast enough because Trey put a hand on his back and gave him a push forward. Parker kept his eyes on the Alpha's black uniform boots as he walked forward to stand next to Colton.

The Alpha grabbed Parker's head and turned it, his fingernails digging uncomfortably into his skin. Parker pressed his lips together to keep the pained whimper from escaping, but his trembling couldn't be helped. He didn't like the big man's rough hands on him.

Apparently neither did Colton, because Parker could hear a low warning growl coming from his mate.

Ignoring Colton, the Alpha leaned in and sniffed Parker.

Colton's growling increased in both volume and intensity.

Alpha's head snapped towards Colton. "I would back down if I were you, pup."

Colton gritted his teeth and balled his fists but stopped his growling.

Alpha stepped back. "The accusation is null. He is Colton's mate."

Seth pushed forward, completely outraged. "What?! Men can't mate with men!" Several in the pack shouted their agreement. "He can't breed pups with that faggot!"

Colton spun on his heels and snarled. His arm shot up and he gripped Seth by the throat and squeezed.

"Enough, Colton."

Colton ignored the Alpha's command. He squeezed harder and Seth's face turned red. Seth's hands gripped and pulled at Colton's arms as he struggled in vain to free himself. Parker was frozen in fear; he didn't know what to do.

The Alpha stepped forward. His voice was low and dangerous, directed at Colton. "I am not accustomed to having my orders ignored. That is twice I've had to correct you tonight. Let him go. Now."

Colton gave Seth a shove, knocking him backwards but doing as the Alpha commanded.

The Alpha glared at his son. "I have made my decision." He looked around the pack. He took in a deep breath and let it go. Even in a calm state, his body language exuded power and strength. "Does anyone have a problem with this?"

Seth spit on Colton's boot. His voice dropped to a whisper. "I hope you enjoy my sloppy seconds."

Colton's chest heaved and his pupils dilated. His voice dropped in pitch and became a snarl. "You. I knew it was you. You tried to rape my mate."

Colton's shirt ripped down the back as his muscles began to ripple. His body grew in size and width, black fur sprouting all over his skin. With a mighty roar, he backhanded Seth, sending the muscular teen flying through the air as if he weighed nothing.

The crowd gasped and stepped back as the two-legged werewolf hybrid ripped his shredded shirt and pants off and tossed them aside and advanced on Seth.

"Holy fucking shit!" Jed sputtered. "He can do a partial shift. He's an alpha."

Parker looked from Jed back to Colton but didn't have time to really let Jed's words sink in. He knew that Colton was close to being out of control. When he told Colton what Seth had tried to do to him in the locker room, he had known it would come to this if Colton ever found out who it was.

Seth pushed up to his feet to defend himself, but he was too late. Colton's arm slashed out. Angry claw marks bloomed red across Seth's chest as his blood began spilling. Seth fell into a whimpering heap on the ground as his body started to morph.

Now a large black wolf with grey streaks and a bloody chest, Seth shrugged out from under his clothes, pushed to his feet and snapped and growled at Colton. He lunged and leapt for Colton's throat. Colton slammed his fist into the side of Seth's head, sending him smashing into the earth.

Seth was simply no match for Colton's alpha hybrid form.

With an ear shattering roar, Colton advanced, fully prepared to deal a final blow.

"Colton! Stop," Colton's father intervened, but Colton ignored him.

"Colton Butler!" Alpha shouted. "Back down! Shift!"

Colton tilted his head back and howled angrily. He dropped down to one knee at Seth's side and raised his arm. His claws were already dripping with Seth's blood.

Parker ran forward to his mate. "Colton," he whispered as he grabbed the furred paw, covering the claws in his hand. "Don't."

"Colton! Don't make me tell you again." The alpha's teeth dropped and claws extended from his fingers, ready to strike.

Parker tugged at Colton's arm. Colton turned and looked up at him. Parker could see the rage in his dark eyes, the instinctual need to protect and avenge his mate. Those deep brown eyes stared deep into Parker's. Parker somehow remained calm and he tried to direct that at his big, bad wolf. He reached down and cupped his hand on Colton's furry cheek. "Colton."

The ears on top of Colton's head started to shrink as did the jaw filled with razor-sharp fangs. The body hair receded and the claws retracted as his body shrank down to its normal size.

A very human-looking, fully naked Colton stood up and stared down at Parker. He grabbed a fistful of Parker's hair, slanted his head and claimed his mate's mouth in a feral kiss.

He broke the kiss and grabbed Parker's hand and pulled him close. He led him back to the Alpha and stood before him, naked as the day he was born, with Parker at his side, their hands clasped and fingers intertwined together.

The Alpha stared at Colton, who defiantly stared back, meeting his eyes. After several moments of neither backing down, the Alpha finally spoke. "You need to leave."

Carlton Butler stepped forward, whispering, "Alpha...."

Colton blinked, finally backing down from the Alpha's gaze. "You're exiling me?"

"Yes. It's time for you to leave and start your own pack. It's what I did when I was your age, when my own mate triggered my change. You can't stay here. You're already too disruptive. I won't have you destroy my pack."

Carlton's voice dropped to just below a whisper. "Alpha, if you banish Colton, you're going to lose him and possibly his friends. They are all strong wolves and can give the pack strong pups."

Alpha scoffed, looking between Colton, Parker, Jed and Trey. "None of those boys is going to be making any pups. I've made my decision."

Carlton nodded and stepped back. "Yes, Alpha."

"I accept exile," Colton said, taking Alpha's decision like a man.

"The pack owns a small campground at the edge of the county near the village of Timber. You can rent it from us and relocate there."

Colton shook his head. "No. You'll sell it to us outright at fair market value, and I want the village in my territory."

Alpha Forrest narrowed his eyes at Colton, then started to chuckle. "You're an arrogant little fucker. I'm glad to be done with you. Fine, I agree."

"What?" Seth cried as he pushed to his feet. The naked jock stood upright with difficulty. His breathing was labored and he clutched at his scabbed-over, healing chest wounds. "That was supposed to be mine," he wheezed.

The Alpha turned to his son, his voice icy with disappointment. "That was before you lost a challenge and then got your ass whooped. Once again. Now mind your place, boy."

"Yes, father," Seth replied through gritted teeth. He reluctantly stepped back and moved to stand next to TJ. His face was red with anger, directed at Colton, who ignored him as if he didn't exist.

Alpha Forrest turned back to Colton. He raised his voice for everyone to hear. "Colton Butler, you are no longer part of this pack. You can stay in the city until graduation, then I want you and your mate gone. You'll do your runs out at the camp. Stay off my lands. I won't be as patient next time you cross me."

Parker nearly jumped out of his skin when Jed moved in next to him. He looked up at the big man, who folded his arms across his chest and stared straight ahead. Parker looked to the other side of Colton, where Trey now stood.

Colton glanced at Trey and then Jed, who both nodded at him. He then looked the Alpha square in the eye. "In addition to my mate, I take my beta and my enforcer with me."

Alpha Forrest held out his hand. "Agreed."

Colton shook his hand. "Agreed."

Colton gave his father one last look, and after Carlton nodded respectfully, he turned towards his friends.

"Let's go, Timber Pack."

"Yes, Alpha," Trey answered proudly and respectfully. Jed and Parker quickly replied the same way.

Jed and Trey flanked Colton and Parker.

The Forest View Pack parted to allow the newly formed Timber Pack to leave the field.

* * *

After Colton got dressed with the change of clothes he had in his trunk, the pack-mates drove to their new pack grounds.

Colton watched Jed and Parker build up a fire in the big firepit while Trey "supervised." He looked around the abandoned campsite and cringed. What the hell had he just done? It was one thing to accept his own exile, but he had just ruined the lives of the three people he cared about the most.

"Your dad looked pissed," Jed said to Trey as he pushed a log into the fire using a big stick.

"Yeah," Trey said with a sigh. "My parents are all about appearances and social standing. The Forest View Wolf Pack is big and powerful. They have a lot of pull. I'm sure they look at my leaving as a blemish on their standing in the pack."

Parker gave Trey a pointed look. "Well, the Timber Pack is going to be just as powerful some day. It may be just the four of us now, but we're good people. Not homophobic assholes like Seth Forrest and TJ Carlyle."

Trey held out his fist and Parker tapped it.

Jed dropped another log on the fire. "My parents don't care much about that stuff... power and socializing. But they're really big on loyalty and duty. I'm not sure if they approve of me leaving the pack."

Parker shook his head and knelt down into a squat next to the big man. "Your mom and dad looked so proud of you, Jed."

"What? Really?"

"I'm serious. They were ready to burst with pride. The way they were looking at you when we left... If my mom and dad ever looked at me like that, I'd wake up because I know I'd be dreaming." Parker and Jed laughed together. "They were proud because you did the right thing."

"Thanks." Jed nodded. He gave Parker a little nudge with his shoulder, sending the smaller boy sprawling into the dirt.

Jed laughed. "Oops. My bad."

"You are a really crappy bodyguard, you know that?" Parker said as he dusted off his jeans. "You're supposed to protect me, not kill me."

Colton couldn't help but smile. His mate was simply amazing.

Trey sat down next to Colton. He spoke quietly, even though the others would still be able to hear if they cared to listen. "Hey. Whatever you're thinking, don't."

Colton didn't say anything.

"We came with you by our choice."

Colton let out a sigh. "I can't help but think I fucked up your lives. Look around, man. This is all I have to offer you guys. I really fucked up this time."

"That's bullshit."

Parker sat down next to Colton and took his hand. "Colt, I don't care where we are as long as I'm with you."

Jed snorted. "That's some totally corny shit, but yeah, what he said."

Parker shot Jed a dirty look, then turned back to Colton. "You said this to me before, but it goes both ways. I'd follow you to the ends of the earth, Colton. We all would."

"That's right, man," Trey said. "You're our alpha."

Colton drew in a deep breath and stood up. Fuck this self-doubt bullshit. He had people depending on him.

"Right. First order, if any of you refer to me by title, I'll beat your ass." He looked around the camp grounds. "So, it looks like we got six cabins that are salvageable. If we're gonna be living here when school gets out, we should concentrate on repairing the three that are in the best shape. Parker and I will take number one. Hopefully there's a working kitchen in the common building. I'll work on getting the electricity turned on and I'll get keys and paperwork and everything we need from Alph-- from Forrest."

"I can borrow some tools from my dad and my brother's business," Jed said. "I'm sure they'll help us with supplies at contractor pricing. We can have this place in shape in no time."

"All right then. We're gonna do this."

"We're Timber Pack," Trey said. He stood up and held out his right hand. Jed put his hand on top, followed by Parker. All three turned and looked at Colton.

Colton laid his hand on his pack-mates'. "Timber Pack."

"I'm hungry," Jed mumbled with a frown, interrupting the significant moment. He suddenly perked up, and then turned to Colton. "Hey, now that you're an alpha, does this mean we get to go to Conclave?"

"What's Conclave?" Parker asked.

"It's a gathering of Alphas," Colton explained. "It happens twice a year on the full moon closest to the solstice. I need to register our pack with the Council. I'll find out about it then."

"Conclaves and Councils?" Parker asked. "This is all too much. My head is going to explode."

"We'll all get to go," Jed added, bouncing on his heels. "My dad goes with Forrest as his enforcer. He says it's awesome."

"The Council holds the Conclave in a private reserve in the Canadian Rockies," Colton added. "Dad says the mountain forest is gorgeous."

Trey nudged Jed with his elbow. "Maybe we can find you a mate."

Jed scrunched his face. "Find one for yourself. I don't want no stinking mate." He turned to Parker. "No offense, little dude."

"I told you, don't call me little," Parker said before he punched Jed in the gut. "Ow!" he cried as he shook his fist. "What are you made of, rocks?!"

* * *

While Trey and Jed discussed repair plans, Parker scooted closer to Colton. He knew it was a little perverse, but watching Colton fight Seth earlier had made him really horny. All of that power that Colton had was really sexy.

Parker kissed the side of Colton's neck, and whispered in his ear, "Can you get rid of them for a little while?"

Colton growled and grabbed Parker's head, angling it, before he ferociously attacked his mouth. He broke the kiss and looked up at his friends. His voice was low and guttural. "Get lost."

Jed looked at Trey and rolled his eyes. "Fine. I wanted to go for a run anyway."

When Jed and Trey started to strip off their clothes, Colton snarled, turning Parker's head away from their exposed cocks. Colton grabbed Parker and threw him over his shoulder, caveman style, carrying him off towards the cabins.

"Hey!" Parker squealed as he squirmed, trying to get down onto the ground.

"Quiet," Colton barked. "Be still."

Parker instantly stopped struggling at his alpha's command. His whole body was one big nerve, with his aching dick at the center.

Holding onto Colton's back for support, Parker let Colton carry him to the first cabin. They entered through the back door and Colton kicked it shut behind them.

Colton tossed Parker onto the bed and he landed with a bounce. The cabin's room was bathed in a soft light when Colton turned on an LED camping lantern.

Parker looked around and noted that he was laying on a nest of blankets. The cabin looked like it had been cleaned up a little. All of the boards had been removed from the windows. Colton must have done all of this after he left Parker's house this morning. Parker was impressed.

"You've been busy."

Colton smirked, then became deadly serious. He moved around the foot of the bed, slowly stalking Parker like a predator. Parker could see his cock was hard, creating a big bulge in his jeans that pointed towards his hip.

Colton's voice was deep and husky as he unbuckled his belt and unbuttoned his jeans, relieving some of the pressure. "I seem to recall a promise of sex."

Parker gave him a seductive smile and whispered, "Yes, Alpha."

"Fuck," Colton grunted. His eyes flashed amber, then dilated. Taking a deep breath, he let it out and then pounced. He shoved Parker's legs apart with his knees, covering him with his big body. He grabbed Parker's wrists and pinned them over his head.

Parker shuddered when Colton rolled his hips, grinding that hard cock against his own.

"Show me my mark," Colton said, adding a low growl while bearing a hint of his fangs.




Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 07



Parker closed his eyes and tilted his head back and to the side in submission.

Colton swiped his tongue across the mark, up Parker's jugular. He pressed his lips against Parker's ear. "You're mine, little wolf."

Parker's ass twitched. He locked his legs around Colton, opened his eyes and stared into Colton's. "Take what's yours, Alpha."

Colton pushed back and practically tore Parker's clothes from his body. He quickly got rid of his boots and jeans, then grabbed a bottle of lube he had hidden.

"Hurry," Parker begged. He was about to go up in flames. Colton had him so hot right now, being all aggressive and, well, alpha.

Colton swiped his lubed-up fingers through Parker's crack, then pushed the two longest fingers into Parker's ass. He pegged the prostate, then twisted and spread the fingers, stretching the ring of muscle.

Parker writhed on the bed, his hands trying to grab at Colton to pull him closer. "Oh god!"

Colton lined up the head of his lubed-up cock and pushed forward. His hands pinned Parker down onto the mattress and he stared down at Parker, his dark brown eyes wild with lust.

Parker nodded desperately, giving Colton his consent.

Colton growled. "Take it." He pulled back until the tip of his cock was just about to slip out, and then slammed forward, stabbing Parker's prostate and burying his rod balls deep.

"Yes!" Parker cried. His legs tightened around Colton's hips. His hands dug into Colton's arms.

Colton began to move. He was relentless, pounding Parker into the mattress. Parker loved every minute of it.

The headboard slammed against the wall repeatedly as Colton's body slammed into Parker's.

"Look at me."

Parker opened his eyes and looked into Colton's. Parker could tell that the beast was just below the surface, ready to burst out, but this time Colton was in complete control. Colton's eyes were wild, feral. His upper and lower canines had pushed through. Colton didn't bother to try to hide the razor sharp teeth from Parker. He displayed them in a snarl, grunting like an animal with every thrust of his hips.

Parker's back arched, desperate for more contact with his mate's muscled, hair-covered body. He writhed on the bed, his head thrashing from side to side.

Colton's hands tightened on Parker, his grip bruising Parker's tender flesh. He jackhammered into him, pushing him up the bed, making Parker whimper with every thrust. Parker slapped his hand against the headboard to steady himself.

Colton laid his full weight on top of Parker, completely covering his smaller body. He pushed his arms underneath, cradling his boy's head and body, holding him tight to his body. His hot breath wafted across the mating bite. Then he licked it and started sucking.

Parker cried out in pleasure as Colton held him and worked the scar with his mouth, tongue and teeth while his hips snapped back and forth.

He could feel his orgasm building up faster and faster with each thrust of his mate's huge cock. Colton was going to make him come. "Don't stop," he panted. "Don't stop."

"Come for me," his mate commanded. "Now."

Colton's teeth clamped down, his fangs piercing Parker's neck. Parker's entire body contracted hard and his ass clamped down like a vise on Colton's girth. He screamed as the muscles in his groin contracted and then began pumping. Hot come spewed from the end of his cock, spraying their bodies with the thick, white liquid.

With a feral roar, Colton shoved forward and erupted, shooting jet after jet of molten lava deep inside Parker's guts.

Still thrusting his hips, Colton collapsed his weight on top of Parker, his weight pushing him down into the mattress. He swiped his tongue across the fresh bite and his big body jerked one more time and then went still.

They laid together in recovery. Parker stroked a hand through Colton's hair while the other caressed his man's muscular ass.

After a few minutes, their breathing finally evened out enough for Parker to whisper, "That was so hot... I think I like it when you go all 'alpha'."

Colton could only grunt in reply.

Colton's cock finally went soft enough to slip out of his body. Parker felt wet and slimy between his ass cheeks. His ass was sore from the rough treatment. It was heaven.

"They're gonna know what we were doing, aren't they?" Parker asked. He knew he was blushing at the thought of Jed and Trey hearing them. They were both really loud tonight.

Colton laughed, his voice still rough from his shouting. "Yeah. It's no different than every other time we have sex."

Parker's eyes widened. "What?"

"They can smell me all over you, pup. All inside you, leaking out of you. They all can."

"Oh jeez, that is all kinds of embarrassing."

"No. It's fucking hot."

Parker nodded his head. He understood exactly what Colton was feeling. "They know I'm yours."

Colton growled possessively. "Yes. Mine."

He pushed himself up onto his knees. He grabbed Parker's ankles and spread them wide. With a push forward, his newly erect cock found its target and slid into his mate's body and proceeded to fuck another load out of him.

* * *

After parking the car in the driveway, Colton walked Parker up to the front porch.

"You don't have to walk me to the door," Parker said.

Colton looked around. "That shifter is still out there. I'm not taking any chances. Not with you."

Knowing he wasn't going to win, Parker let it go. "Okay."

"Promise me you'll stay inside."

"I will. Good night, Colton."

"'Night, pup. I love you."

"I love you, too."

After kissing him goodnight, Parker unlocked the door and went inside. He walked over to the front window and pushed the curtain back and watched Colton get into his car and drive off.

As he let go of the curtain, a movement in the shadows across the street caught his eye. Parker squinted in the dark, searching...

"What are you looking at?"

Parker gasped and spun around at the sound of the unexpected voice.

The living room's overhead light came on. Parker's dad was standing at the bottom of the stairway.

"You're cutting it close, Parker."

Parker glanced at the clock on the wall. "Yeah..."

"If you're going to start missing your curfew, then we're going to have to re-evaluate the freedoms we give you."

"Okay. Well... Goodnight."

Parker hurried past his father and went upstairs to his bedroom.

* * *

Colton felt wrong leaving Parker behind. Somehow it was different this time. Parker should be with him, sleeping in his bed. Not at home--at his parents' home--sleeping in his own bed.

The next few months were going to be long.

Colton found his dad sitting at the kitchen table. He was eating a bowl of cereal, reading a magazine, though Colton could tell that he wasn't really reading.

His father clearly was waiting for Colton to get home.

"Dad."

"Sit down." Colton raised an eyebrow. "Please," he added through gritted teeth.

Colton pulled out a chair and sat down. "Okay. What did you want to say?"

His father let out an exasperated sigh. "Damn it, Colton. Stop being so damn difficult. Why didn't you tell me about what was going on?"

"Would it have mattered?"

"Yes, damn it! All of this could have been prevented, but you are just so god-damned stubborn. I could have helped you."

"Helped me how?"

"I had everything planned. Seth Forrest is weak. He'll never be alpha. When Alpha stepped down, you were supposed to take his place. If you wanted a mate, we could have found you one. Someone you could have bred pups with. There are plenty of bitches out there wanting to breed with strong wolves. Hell, we could have found you a human girl if that's what you wanted. Now you've been exiled and Alpha won't back down on this. You've thrown away everything that we've worked for."

Colton's anger started to rise. "And what about Parker?"

His father didn't speak. He knew he had gone too far as far as Colton was concerned.

Colton stood up swiftly, sending the wooden chair to the floor. He placed his hands on the table. His teeth dropped and his claws extended from his fingers and dug into the wood as he leaned in closer. His voice was deep and threatening, taking on a definite alpha quality. "I am not interested in your power games. Parker is my mate, the mate of an alpha. You will respect him. Don't test me on this."

Satisfied when his father subconsciously tipped his head in submission, Colton pushed from the table and went up to his room. He slammed the door shut behind him.

Feeling agitated, he stripped off his clothes and tossed himself onto his bed. He grabbed his phone, went to his favorite contacts and hit Parker's name.

"Hello?"

Colton closed his eyes and let out a soft breath. Just hearing Parker's voice had a calming effect on him. "Hey, pup."

"Is everything okay?"

"Yeah. I'm-- Just a second." Colton pulled back his phone and tapped the face chat button. After a couple of seconds, Parker's face came into a view. "Much better," Colton said.

Parker was snuggled up in bed, under the blankets. The lamp on his nightstand gave off enough light so that Colton could see him.

"Hi," Parker said, flashing Colton an adorable smile.

"Hi. Don't you look all cute and cozy."

"You look sexy."

"What? This?"

Colton slowly swept his phone down his body, then back up to his face. He watched Parker swallow visibly.

"You're hard," Parker whispered.

"I got hard as soon as I heard your voice."

"I like that I can do that to you. Makes me feel sexy."

Parker covered his mouth as he yawned. He settled back in the blankets.

Colton could tell that Parker was tired. It irked him that his mate wasn't in bed with him where he belonged. "You should be here with me," he growled.

"I wish I was. But I probably wouldn't get any sleep because you'd be poking at me with that big ol' thing you got down there."

"Maybe... probably... definitely."

Parker laughed, then yawned again. "But I'm glad you called."

"Let me see my mark before you fall asleep."

Parker laughed again. He pulled off his t-shirt and tossed it aside. He moved his phone so that it captured the scar on the curve of his neck. Parker ran his fingers over it and shuddered.

"It's sensitive."

Colton licked his lips as he watched Parker sweep the phone down his chest and stomach to his bulging underwear before moving back up to his face.

Colton knew that he could probably talk Parker into a video chat quickie, but he could tell that Parker was sleepy. It had been a long day for his mate. "I'll let you go to sleep. I'll see you in the morning."

"Okay." Parker's eyes were already half closed. "If you save it for me, I promise I'll take care of it in the morning." His eyes drifted shut, then slowly opened half-way. "I love you."

"I love you, too, pup. Goodnight."



Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 08



The next morning Colton accidentally slept in and was late picking up Parker for school. It was understandable. It seemed that his new half-shift used a lot more energy than his full wolf shift.

Colton needed the rest because this was the start of a big weekend. Today was Friday and the school was holding a huge pep rally in the afternoon. Then tomorrow the team would be heading by bus to play the final state championship game at the pro arena.

It was going to be a good weekend.

Colton drove like a bat out of hell to get to Parker's, then pulled into the driveway and parked his car. He grabbed the blue t-shirt from the front seat and got out and walked up to the front door.

When he rang the doorbell, he heard Parker call for him to come in. He opened the door and shut it behind him. He leaned against the back of a leather chair while he waited for his mate.

Parker set a glass in the sink and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. He grabbed his backpack off the floor and walked up to Colton.

"Good morning," Parker said with a grin.

"Morning."

Parker leaned into Colton and tilted his head back. Colton dipped his head and kissed his pup nice and slow.

"Damn, you look really hot in your jersey with those jeans," Parker whispered as he ran his hands over Colton's muscular chest.

Colton held up the shirt in his hand. "I brought this for you. Put it on."

"What's this?" Parker asked.

Colton helped Parker put the t-shirt on over the long-sleeved shirt he was wearing. The shirt was blue with white accents, an exact replica of Colton's football jersey, complete with his name and number on the back. "Everyone else's girlfriends will be wearing theirs. So you have to wear mine."

Parker poked Colton's chest. "I'm not your 'girlfriend', but I'll wear it. But you know I'll be at the pep rally as the mascot, right?"

"Mm-hmm," Colton growled. "Don't remind me. I might have to pull you into the locker room and have unbridled 'furry sex' with you in one of the bathroom stalls."

Parker laughed and patted Colton's chest. "That is so not gonna happen, so don't get your hopes up, big boy." He turned around and tried to look over his shoulder at the shirt. "Does it have your name on the back?"

"Yes."

Parker looked over his shoulder at Colton and smirked. "Are you looking at my ass?"

Colton's eyes snapped up. He caught Parker's gaze with hungry eyes and ran the tip of his tongue across his bottom lip. He hadn't planned on fooling around with Parker since they were running late, but seeing him in his jersey made him want to dominate his boy, to make Parker submit to the stronger alpha wolf.

He pulled out his phone and checked the time. "We have a couple of minutes..."

"If you were here earlier..."

Colton unbuckled his belt and undid his jeans. "I'm here now. Suck my cock."

Colton watched Parker's eyes widen at his demand.

Parker let out a whimper and immediately dropped to his knees. He pushed Colton's hands away and fished that big erection from his jeans and took it right into his mouth.

Colton couldn't help the smug grin on his face. His pup liked being told what to do and that was so fucking hot. Parker looked good on his knees in front of him, like he belonged there.

Parker was so hungry for his cock, hungry for his load.

Colton let Parker work him like a pro for a couple of minutes, then he stepped back.

"Mmm, not done yet," Parker grunted. "I want it."

"Uh-uh. I don't wanna come yet. I wanna taste you first."

Colton pulled Parker up to his feet and yanked his pants down. He spun Parker around so that he was leaning back against the leather chair. He dropped to a squat and took Parker's dick into his mouth.

"Oh my god," Parker gasped.

Colton bobbed up and down Parker's entire length, hollowing his cheeks and sucking hard. He reached his fingers between Parker's cheeks and found that tight little hole he loved so damn much. He found the entrance already wet. When his finger slid in nice and easy, Colton let out a growl around Parker's cock.

"I got ready for you in the shower this morning," Parker said between pants. "But you were late. Oh, right there!"

Colton stood up and spun Parker around, pushing him up onto his knees on the seat of the chair.

"Get up on your knees," Colton barked. "Show me your ass."

Parker knelt on the chair cushion. He arched his back, pushing his ass towards his man.

Colton took a moment to admire his mate's perfect ass and he couldn't help but give it a good smack, making Parker whimper and tremble.

"Please, Colton," Parker begged.

He moved into place, standing on his feet behind Parker and slowly sunk his cock into his mate. He watched it disappear inch by inch until he was buried balls deep. Colton closed his eyes and let out a breathy sigh. "You're so fucking tight."

Grabbing Parker's hips, he let his fingers dig and bruise the fair flesh. He fucked him fast and furious, grunting with each sharp thrust, his body slapping loudly against Parker's.

Colton knew he wasn't going to last. He was too turned on and Parker's ass was just too good. Picking up the pace, he didn't stop until he shot his load, sending jets of hot come deep into Parker's body.

Knowing that his pup didn't get off yet, Colton pulled back and turned Parker's quivering body around. He squatted down and took that aching shaft into his mouth.

Parker gripped the sides of Colton's head and pumped his hips back and forth, sliding his dick in and out of Colton's mouth. It only took a few strokes.

"Colton!" he cried as his body convulsed.

Colton felt the hot dick pulse against his tongue and his mouth was flooded with hot spunk. He savored the sweet essence that tasted of his pup, then drank down every drop.

When Parker fell back into the chair panting and trying to catch his breath, Colton stood up and yanked up his jeans, tucking away his hard-on. "C'mon, pup. We gotta go."

"You expect me to be able to walk after that?" he asked as he struggled to get out of the chair. He was practically shaking as he pulled up his pants. "Oh, jeez. I'm gonna be leaking you all morning."

"Fuck. When you talk like that..." Colton growled and grabbed for Parker, cupping his ass cheeks in his meaty palms.

Parker put his hand in the middle of Colton's chest and pushed back, swinging out of the way. "Oh, no, I can't do it again. You're gonna kill me."

Colton laughed and leaned in for a quick kiss. He grabbed Parker's backpack and they ran out of the house.

Colton opened his car's passenger door for Parker, then tossed Parker's bag into the backseat.

"Do you think things will be different at school?" Parker asked as he settled into the front seat.

"I honestly don't know. I do know that they won't fuck with our pack. Seth knows he can't win."

Colton said it with such conviction, he could see Parker was convinced. Parker nodded and sat up straight in his seat.

When they arrived at school, they found Jed and Trey waiting in their customary spot. Like Colton, they were wearing their football jerseys for the pep rally. A nervous energy surrounded them and Jed breathed a visible sigh of relief as Colton rounded the front of his car.

"What's going on?" Colton asked as he greeted his friends with fist taps. "Anything new?"

Trey looked between the Colton and Parker and raised a brow as his nostrils flared. "You're cutting it close. Everything seems the same so far," Trey said. "But I'm glad it's Friday."

"It's still weird," Jed added, looking around. "I feel like I'm in enemy territory."

Colton boxed Jed's ear. "Well, get your head on straight. We got the pep rally today and tomorrow's the state game."

* * *

Parker put on his wolf costume for the last time and headed out of the stadium's locker room. He felt really strange wearing the Timberwolf costume. It would only be a matter of time before he changed into a real wolf for the very first time. The fact that he was a wolf wearing a wolf costume was kind of messing with his head.

He didn't really follow pro ball like Colton and his pack-mates did, but the fact that they were playing at the stadium was really awesome. Seeing the cheerleaders gathered, he walked over to Shell with the wolf head in his hand.

As he neared, he could smell anxiety coming off her. He put his hand on her arm. "Hey. Are you okay?"

"What? Yeah. Of course." She was distracted, not making eye contact.

"You've been scarce this week. How're things going with Curtis?"

"Good," she said with a shrug.

"Yeah. It must be real good if he's got you so tired you can't talk."

When she didn't take the bait, Parker knew for sure that something was up.

After a moment, she whispered, "He says we can't hang out anymore."

"He did?" Parker felt his eyes start to water.

"What happened the other day? Curtis was kinda freaked out, really nervous. He wouldn't tell me anything."

"I think Curtis has to tell you," Parker said.

They stood together in awkward silence, waiting for a few moments while Parker tried not to start crying, when out of the blue Shell asked, "Have you noticed anything weird about Colton or Curtis... or some of their friends?"

"What do you mean?" Parker asked, not sure where the question was going, and hoping that he wasn't reading too much into it. He prayed the nervousness didn't show in his voice. He had never outright lied to Shell before, but he didn't know what to say.

"You know what I mean," she whispered as she finally looked up and made eye contact.

Parker swallowed the lump in his throat, nodded his head, and then looked away. He had suspected that she was more to Curtis than just a girlfriend and now he was positive. He didn't know what to tell her. He wanted to talk to her so bad, to spill his guts and tell her everything. But it wasn't his place.

He swiped away the tear that fell down his cheek and he could see the pain mirrored in her watery eyes.

"You'll always be my best friend," Parker whispered before he moved away.

Parker hadn't realized that when Timber Pack split off from the Forest View Pack that there would be such a division. They were now seen as rivals... exiles.

That division became painfully obvious once the game started. Where the FVHS Timberwolves previously operated like a well-oiled machine, there was now tension in the ranks. Colton, Jed and Trey were rivals to the Forest View Pack and their teammates treated them as such.

That tension cost them the game and the state title.

Parker knew then that the rest of the school year was going to suck just as bad.

* * *

The FVHS Timberwolves just had their butts handed to them. By the end of the first quarter, they were down 14 to 0. They never fully recovered and ended up losing, 28 to 14. It was a humiliating loss, after what was up until then an undefeated season.

On their way out of the locker room, Colton grabbed Parker's bag and stormed out without a word.

Parker didn't need ESP to feel how pissed off he was. The anger was rolling off him. Not that he blamed Colton. Seth and his buddies had blamed him and Trey for the loss and the rest of the team was too happy to take sides.

As they approached the bus, the sound of shouting made them pick up the pace.

Seth and TJ were fighting Jed, surrounded by a group of their supposed teammates, including Shell's boyfriend Curtis.

Jed could have taken either one separately, but two against one was just not fair. Parker could feel Jed's beast on the surface, ready to shift. This was about to get real ugly real quick.

"Cut it out!" Parker shouted. He tried to get in the middle, but Colton pulled him back, tossing him towards Trey, who was quickly following up behind.

"Stop," Colton ordered. He spoke in a normal volume, but his voice was deep and commanding. It was suddenly dead silent. Everyone stopped what they were doing, turned and looked at him, including the humans as well as Parker.

He hadn't heard Colton use his "alpha" voice before. The effect went straight to his groin. As his dick stiffened in his sweat pants he tugged the front of his sweatshirt down in an effort to hide it. The timing was so inappropriate, but Parker couldn't help himself.

Colton quietly spoke to Jed, but he kept his eyes on Seth. "Jed, get on the bus."

Jed opened his mouth to protest but thought better of it. He tipped his head deferentially and obeyed Colton's order.

Colton walked up to Seth, got into his face, and spoke low enough that the humans wouldn't hear. "If you have a problem with my pack, you challenge me directly. Of course, you know that you won't win. Isn't that right? For the next six months, this is still my territory. I run the school. Don't forget it."

Colton stared Seth down until Seth lowered his eyes and ever so slightly tilted his head to the side.

Colton turned to Parker. "Go, pup. Get on the bus."

Parker nodded. He glanced over his shoulder and gave Curtis a hard glare while Seth just stood there red-faced and glowering.

"Okay, guys," Curtis said, breaking eye contact with Parker. "Break it up. Let's get on the bus and let's go home."

Several days later, Parker sat in class, only half paying attention to the teacher as she drew equations on the board.

He became aware of an odd sensation, a sort of tingling, that started in the back of his head. Parker rubbed his hand against the base of his skull.

Colton was upset.

Somehow he just knew it. He glanced up at the clock and watched the last minute tick by. When the bell rang, he was already out of his chair, hurrying out of the class room.

Using his nose, he made his way through the school hallways, following Colton's scent. It was the one thing that he could reliably pick out.

He found Colton and Trey quietly talking in the hallway outside the gym.

Colton looked up, surprised. "Hey, pup. What are you doing over here?" he asked as he grabbed Parker's hand and pulled him close.

"I was checking that everything was okay."

"Why wouldn't it be?" he answered with a smile.

Parker scrunched his eyebrows and glared. "Colton."

Colton let out a sharp breath. "Okay. Fine. I heard from a Lycan Council representative about our pack registration."

"What did they say?" Parker asked.

"It seems that asshole Forrest didn't waste any time informing them of our exile, so they already had us pre-registered. I had to fill in the details about you, though. They're sending an info packet."

Parker blinked back at Colton. "Wait. They have a packet? Like a 'Welcome to Your New Pack' packet?"

"Yeah. Something like that."

"So why are you upset?"

"I asked about the rogue wolf. They said that Alpha Forrest assures them that he has the situation under control. That fucker is just sitting on his ass. If he doesn't want to do anything about it, then that's fine." Colton's voice started to rise in volume. "I'm alpha of my own pack now. I don't answer to him. I--"

Parker glanced around the hall, and then cut off Colton before he spiralled out of control. "Hey. You need to calm down."

Parker knew the best way to relax Colton's nerves, but he couldn't really do anything about that in the middle of school. But he was already late for his next class. Why not?

He motioned with his head for Colton to follow him. "C'mon."

Parker walked over to the gym doors and listened. He didn't hear any noise, so he opened the doors and stepped inside. He looked back at Colton and gave him a seductive smile. "You coming?"

Colton caught Parker's double meaning and his eyes darkened as they dilated. He glanced over his shoulder at Trey. "We'll talk later." Colton followed Parker into the deserted gym, then towards the men's locker room.

Before stepping into the locker room, Parker listened and sniffed. He didn't hear anything and didn't smell anything, other than that funky wet sock/dirty jockstrap smell the locker room always had. With his new sense of smell, it was pretty intense, but it was kind of erotic.

Parker quickly walked past the rows of lockers and stepped into the last bathroom stall. He turned around and smiled when he saw Colton step in and latch the door behind him.

Parker had always wanted to do this. He had heard Jed telling Trey about bringing a guy in here and he wanted to try it.

He sat down on the toilet seat and reached for Colton's belt. He unbuckled it, then unsnapped his jeans. He pulled the front of Colton's shirt free and slid his hand underneath, rubbing his fingers across the fur-covered ridges of his abdominal muscles.

He pulled Colton's cock free and the thick length bobbed in front of his face before pointing at his nose.

Colton grunted. "God, I love you."

Parker looked up at him and smiled. "You're just saying that because I'm about to suck you off."

Parker flicked his tongue across the slit, lapping up the pearl of pre-come that had oozed out. He closed his eyes and savored the sweet taste of the slippery liquid. Flicking his tongue under the head, he teased that soft spot where his foreskin connected. He then took Colton's thick shaft into his mouth and swallowed down as much as he could.

Colton let out a long groan. One hand grabbed the top of the stall's partition wall while the other moved to the back of Parker's head. "Suck it," he growled.

Parker's dick jerked in his pants and a drop of pre-come bubbled out into his briefs. He loved it when Colton dominated him. He looked up at Colton, who stared down at him with a lustful, needy expression on his face.

"I love your big dick," Parker whispered.

He swirled his tongue around the velvety foreskin, then took him deep into his mouth. As Parker sucked Colton, he managed to unbutton his jeans and pull his own dick out. He smeared the pre-come around and began a quick stroke.

Parker kept eye contact with Colton, and used every trick he knew to get his mate to come. He sucked hard while bobbing and twisting his mouth and hand. His tongue fluttered back and forth, swirling around the head.

Colton pulled at the back of his head, urging him to go faster. His legs began to tremble and his breath came in short pants. "Don't stop, pup."

Suddenly, Parker realized that he was actually the one in control. He had reduced the big alpha of a werewolf pack to a quivering mass of muscle.

Colton gripped his hair in an iron tight fist. His knees dipped and he let out a loud grunt as he bucked his hips up. Holding Parker's head in place, Colton's cock throbbed and began spewing thick ropes of hot come into Parker's mouth.

Parker moaned around Colton's pulsing shaft and he shot his own load all over the floor between Colton's boots.

Colton pulled Parker up to his feet and kissed him. His tongue swept into Parker's mouth and the two shared a deep, creamy kiss.

"That was fun," Parker whispered. "I've never skipped class to... you know..."

"Suck cock in a locker room bathroom stall?"

"Yeah," Parker laughed nervously. "Though you could have worded it in a way that made me sound less like a total slut."

"Lucky me." Colton grinned a cocky smirk. "I reap the rewards when you act like a slut."

"You like that, don't you? That you're the only one I've been with."

"Hell yeah I do."

Once they cleaned themselves up, as well as the floor in front of the toilet, Parker followed Colton out of the stall. Colton sat down on one of the benches and bent over to re-tie the laces on one of his boots.

Parker sat down next to him. "Everything is going to be okay. Right?"

Colton put his arm around Parker's shoulders. "Of course."

"Can I ask you a question? If Shell was mated to a wolf, could they join our pack?"

"Well, if she was mated to a wolf, and that's a big 'if,' then they could petition to join our pack. But we couldn't ask them. That would be seen as an act of aggression."




Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 08



"But--"

"No buts, pup."

Parker harrumphed and laid his head on Colton's shoulder. He wasn't going to let his best friend go without a fight. He'd figure a way around the rules. Convincing Shell would be easy. It was Curtis he didn't know about.

Parker sat up when he heard someone walk into the locker room.

"Come on," Jed whispered as he dragged a smaller guy by the hand. "No one will find out. I promise."

They both froze when they rounded the row of lockers and saw Parker and Colton sitting on the bench.

Parker recognized the twink as Steven from the swim team. Steven gasped in shock, looking like a deer caught in headlights, as he looked between the other three men. Close to dying of embarrassment, he turned and ran out of the locker room.

"Well, damn," Jed moaned. He glowered at Parker and Colton. "Thanks. Thanks a lot. I was about to end my dry spell."

He muttered to himself as he gripped his crotch and stomped into one of the toilet stalls and slammed the door shut behind him.

"Let's go," Colton said. "No way in hell are you going to overhear what's going down in there."

Parker laughed as Colton pulled him up from the bench and dragged him out of the locker room.

* * *

Colton followed Jed out of the camp's mess hall towards the parking lot. His enforcer's father had just arrived with a truck full of equipment and building supplies.

Colton waved to his mate, who was busy weeding with the trimmer while Trey mowed the overgrown grass. The camp grounds were a mess, but Colton was confident that their new home would be in top shape soon and he was eager to get started. The supplies that Jed's father delivered would be the first step in getting that done.

John Stone and his oldest son, affectionately known as Junior, climbed out of the pickup truck and looked around.

"Hey, dad," Jed called out to the massive man.

Jed shook his father's hand, then dodged his big brother's hand as it playfully swept at his head. "Missed," he said with a smirk.

Colton smiled as the two brothers began smacking and ducking from each other, each of them laughing. Junior got Jed into a headlock and rubbed his knuckles across the top of Jed's head. Jed pulled a reverse and knocked Junior onto his back on the ground, where they each tried to wrestle each other into submission.

John snorted, and turned to Colton. "23 and 18 years old and they still act like pups." He offered his hand.

Colton shook it. "Thanks, John. I appreciate you doing this for us."

"Don't mention it. If I could do more, I would. I hope you know that."

"I understand. This is plenty. We can handle it."

"Why don't you show me around? Maybe I can give you a little 'neighborly' advice. I can tell right now that you're gonna need more roof shingles that than what I brought..."

* * *

Parker set down the scrub brush and slumped against the bathtub. He was exhausted.

The four pack-mates had been coming out to the campground--their new pack lands--every spare minute, and all weekend, for the past two weeks. The first cabin, which was slightly larger than the other five that were somewhat salvageable, was Colton and Parker's. Of course, it was where he and Colton first made love.

He had just spent all morning scrubbing the windows and had just finished with the bathroom.

He could hear an electric saw and a nail gun pounding coming from somewhere in the background. Jed, Trey and Colton were busy repairing the cabins, concentrating on Colton's and Jed's cabins first, along with the common building that housed a small office, a big kitchen, a laundry room, and a large open dining room that could be used as a mess hall or for meetings.

Jed's dad and his older brother were as helpful as they could be. They supplied Jed with tools and supplies. They offered a lot of advice, but they weren't allowed to actually help out since Timber Pack was seen as a rival pack.

Parker didn't understand why they couldn't work together, why they had to be rivals. Colton gave an explanation about wolves being territorial, but Parker still didn't get it. He just wanted everyone to get along.

The stupid rivalry had cost him his best friend and that made him angry.

It was a good thing that Jed learned a lot from his dad and older brother. The big man was good with his hands.

Parker decided it was time for a break. He pushed himself to his feet and walked into the cabin's main room. He looked around and smiled. Sure, the single-room dwelling was tiny compared to his parents' "McMansion," but the log cabin was rustic and cozy. It was perfect for him and Colton.

They had replaced the sofa with one they bought from a thrift store. The one that came furnished with the cabin had a mildew smell that made both of them sick. The place was already starting to look like a home and Parker already thought of it that way.

He glanced over at their bed. The covers were still thrown back and messed up. One of the first things Colton did was buy a new mattress. Together, they picked out sheets and blankets and bought new pillows. They spent a lot of time in that bed together and Parker's newly sensitive nose could smell their mingled scents coming from the sheets.

His dick started to harden as he remembered Colton making love to him in that bed just this morning. He pressed his palm against his erection, trying to push it into a more comfortable position. Maybe he could get Colton to fuck him again after their lunch break...

He grabbed the cooler by the handle and lifted it up. He wheeled it out onto the porch and let it drop.

"Lunch break!" he called.

Parker watched Jed leap from the roof of his own cabin onto the ground. He was remarkably graceful for someone who looked like the Hulk. Colton and Trey came from inside. The trio walked over to where Parker was setting up lunch on the porch.

Despite the cool weather, all three of them were shirtless and sweaty. Colton's glistening chest hair and muscle definition made Parker start to drool.

"Did Alph-- er, Forrest say anything about other wolves in the area?" Trey asked Colton as they walked towards Parker.

"No. He said a non-wolf shifter lives in the village. Why?"

"I scented a wolf in my cabin. The scent's faint. He's been gone a while, but it looked like he'd been living there."

"You think it's the rogue?" Parker asked, his guard going up. He looked around the campground, looking for anything suspicious. His nose twitched as he scented the air, not that he had any idea what he was sniffing.

Colton rubbed his hand through the hair on the back of Parker's head, before landing on the nape of his neck. The big wolf was soothing him but didn't even appear to be doing it consciously.

"No," Trey said. "It's definitely a wolf, though. He's not hiding his scent."

Colton thought for a moment. "Hm. I think we need to make a trip into town."

Parker opened up the cooler and handed out bottles of water. He peeked into the sandwiches that he had made earlier, giving Colton the two loaded up with everything on wheat bread, Jed the two with no onions on white bread, and finally Trey got the two with no mayo or mustard.

He picked up the one with no mustard or tomatoes and took a bite.

Colton sat on the steps next to his boy and leaned down and gave him a kiss on the top of his head. "You're the perfect alpha mate, you know."

"I am?"

"Yup. You take care of your pack."

"I just made sandwiches. No big deal."

"Exactly. It's no big deal for you; you do it naturally."

Parker swallowed a bite of his roast beef on wheat. "I have to tell my parents that I'm moving out when school gets out. They don't understand what we're doing out here. My dad doesn't like it."

"Hmph. I'm surprised they noticed you were gone."

"That's not fair, Colton."

"You're right. I'm sorry, pup."

"But maybe you're right, just a little."

Trey cleared his throat. "I was thinking... I could stay if you need me, after graduation."

"Fuck that," Colton countered, tapping Trey's chest with his index finger. "You're going to college. Besides, when you get drafted by the NFL, we're gonna need your pack dues to pay the mortgage." Colton laughed. "I'm just kidding ya, dude." He let out a breath and got serious for a moment. "No matter what happens, you have a home here. You'll always be Timber Pack."

"How are we gonna pay the mortgage?" Jed asked with a final mouthful of sandwich. He swallowed it down and unwrapped a second one.

"I'm using my college fund," Colton said. He drank down about half of his water. "And I have some savings. Not much, but some."

Parker cleared his throat. "I think I want to stay here. I can do online classes. We can use the rest of my college fund, and I have some savings, too. I want to work and support us the same as you."

"No," Colton said.

"We'll see," Parker said before returning to his sandwich.

Colton frowned at his defiance, but Parker wasn't going to budge on this.

Colton grunted. "I talked to Forrest. If I take the police academy classes after graduation, he'll hire me on as a deputy. The village of Timber has a small sheriff's office but no police presence."

Jed and Trey nodded.

Parker thought that Colton would make a good cop. Being the head lawman in the village seemed like a natural fit for the Alpha. And, most importantly, he'd look really sexy in the uniform.

Then he realized that Colton would have to work under Alpha Forrest. Yeah, that might not work out so well. In the time since they'd been forced to leave, Colton managed to piss off Forrest at least twice. And those were the times that he knew about. It also occurred to him that it was a really good way for Forrest to keep an eye on his rival neighbor. Parker decided not to say anything to Colton about that... for now.

"Good. I want all of us here Friday night. It's Parker's first full moon."

Parker looked between the three men and smiled. His gaze drifted to the tattoo on Colton's bare arm, the one that all three of them had permanently inked into their skin. "I want a tattoo like you guys have."

Colton pulled his arm across his chest and flexed his bicep. "I guess this is our pack tattoo. You're a founding member, just like us. I'll make the appointment to get you inked, pup. To celebrate your first change."

* * *

Colton pointed to an empty parking spot, signaling for Jed to pull in. Jed parallel parked his truck in front of the sheriff's office in downtown Timber.

The village was part of Colton's pack territory. Standing on the sidewalk in the middle of the village, Colton now understood why Forrest wasn't so interested in keeping it. If you blinked, you'd miss the small town with a population of less than two thousand.

"Well, fuck. Is this it?" Jed asked while looking up and down the street.

There was a single blinking yellow traffic light hanging over the middle of the downtown intersection.

The closed up sheriff's office sat in the middle of a strip of businesses, next to a tiny post office that was little more than a single-window kiosk. On the other side of the post office was the Timber General Store. There was a diner across the street as well as a laundromat and what looked like a lawyer's office. Further down the way was a small gas station, with a bar on the other side of the street.

Jed sniffed the air and turned back towards the General Store. "I smell two shifters. A wolf and..." He sniffed again.

Colton's nostrils flared. "A bear."

Parker's jaw dropped. "A bear? Like a bear bear? You know, a grizzly bear?"

"No," Jed laughed. "It's Winnie the Pooh."

Colton led his pack into the store. A slender young man in an apron looked up from the apples he was stocking. The wolf pup's eyes widened in recognition and he stepped backwards until he stood behind a burly lumberjack-looking mountain man.

That was definitely the bear shifter.

Complete with a full beard, red flannel shirt, suspenders and blue jeans, he appeared to be in his mid-thirties, but you never knew with some shifters.

The bear folded his arms across his chest and stood with his feet shoulder-width apart, blocking their view of the young wolf. Colton could smell the bear all over the wolf. The bear was definitely fucking the little dark-haired wolf and the way he was guarding over him, Colton guessed that they were probably mates.

Colton wasn't intimidated. He knew he could take the bear if it came down to it. The bear may have looked soft, but he was strong. Even so, Colton knew that the man was too big and too slow to be much of a threat against a big Alpha wolf, especially if Colton shifted into his hybrid form.

"You must be the new wolf pack that's moved into the area," the lumberjack said. "I'm Buck. I own the store. This here is my partner, Stan."

Stan peeked around the bear and nodded his head respectfully, but never lifted his eyes to look at Colton. The frightened pup was a year or two older than Colton, maybe early to mid-twenties at the oldest. He was about Parker's size but not as defined. Colton was concerned about him. The pup should be respectful and deferential towards the new alpha, but he was acting like he was scared to death, and Colton didn't like that.

"I'm Colton Butler."

He stepped forward and shook Buck's hand. He held his hand out to Stan. The smaller wolf leaned forward and gave Colton's hand a quick shake, then stepped back behind his bear.

"This is my beta, Trey; my enforcer, Jed; and my mate, Parker."

Stan peeked around Buck again, lifted his eyes and looked at Parker before looking back at Colton, then back down to the floor. "You're mated to a man?" he asked in wonder.

"Yes."

"But you're an Alpha."

"That's right. Timber Pack doesn't discriminate."

Buck looked between the four men. "So, are you here to collect pack dues or something?"

"No," Colton said. "If you want to be pack, you're welcome to join. I won't force you."

"Stan and I would need to talk about it." Buck turned back to his smaller mate. "Why don't you go in back and start unpacking today's shipment for me?" Stan nodded. Buck ran his thumb across Stan's chin fur. "Thank you, cub."

Stan looked up at Buck for a moment, his eyes filled with love and adoration, before turning to leave.

Colton frowned as he watched Stan scurry into the store's back room. Stan was a 'pup', not a 'cub', but Colton didn't want to create waves with the bear, so he kept quiet.

When Stan was gone, Buck relaxed slightly. "Look, Stan was treated pretty shitty by his last pack. Some bullshit about being an omega. I'm not gonna pretend to understand wolf pack dynamics. He ended up homeless and travelling halfway across the country, before he wound up living up in those cabins of yours for a little bit. I want Stan to be happy and I want him to be safe."

"He'll be safe whether or not you two join the pack. You have my word. You may not be pack, but you're in my territory."

Buck regarded Colton for a moment, then held out his hand. Colton shook it.

"Welcome to Timber," Buck said.

"Thanks, Buck." Colton smiled and tapped Buck on the arm.

After they left the store, they headed across the street to the diner. When the four boys entered the restaurant, every eye in the place turned towards them and regarded them with curiosity.

They moved to the last booth in the corner and sat down. Slowly everyone turned back to their own business.

A middle-aged woman with bleach-blond hair wearing a yellow uniform and white apron walked up with a smile. "I don't think I've seen you boys in here before. Surely I would have remembered. I'm Dottie."

"Hi, Dottie," Colton answered, putting on his most charming smile. "Me and my friends are new to the area and we're looking for dessert. What do you got that's good?"

"We got strawberry cake and apple pie. I baked 'em fresh this morning."

"Mmm, strawberry cake please," Parker said with a happy grin. "And a glass of water."

"I'll have the apple pie," Jed said. He gave her a sheepish smile and added, "Two pieces."

"That sounds good," added Colton. "Apple pie for me, too. But just one piece."

"I'll have the cake and a cup of coffee," Trey said.

"Coming right up. But next time you gotta come in for the lunch special, you hear?"

"We sure will," Colton said with a wink.

After Dottie left to prep their order, Trey leaned in. "So, what do you think?"

Colton looked out the window down the village strip. "I like it here." He put his arm around Parker's shoulders and looked down at his mate. "I think we can be happy here."

* * *

Parker bounded down the stairs with his backpack. He found his dad at the dining room table sitting with his laptop and a big stack of folders and papers. Barney was so totally engrossed in his work that he didn't even notice Parker enter the room. As Parker came up behind him, he noticed his dad looking through some sort of financial records on the screen. All of the folders on the table were labeled "F.V.W.P. HOLDINGS".

"Jed's on his way. He'll be here in a second, so I'll see you tomorrow."

Startled by Parker's sudden appearance, Barney looked up from his laptop and quickly closed the lid. "What?"

"It's Saturday. I'm spending the night at Jed's. Remember?"

Parker got a blank look from his father. "No."

Biting back the urge to sigh, he said, "You and Mom said it was okay. Last night. At dinner."

Barney continued to stare at him for a moment, his eyes briefly lingering around Parker's neck.

Parker shifted nervously between his feet. He was positive that his scar was covered by his clothing, but he wasn't able to hide the noticeable hickey that Colton had left. Parker was really going to let Colton have it when he saw him. Hell, who was he kidding? All Colton had to do was touch him or kiss him and he'd do anything his mate asked.

His father leaned across the table and scooped up something. "Your mother was looking for these. Can you bring them to her?"

Parker was momentarily stunned. It was the most his father had said to him in days. "Sure."

He walked over and held out his hand. Barney placed a pair of earrings into his palm.

Parker cried out in pain and jerked his hand away, dropping the earrings onto the floor.

"Something wrong?" Barney asked.

"No. It's nothing." His eyes welled with tears and he tried to breathe normally and not shake apart as he squatted down. He looked at his hand and saw that he had two angry red blisters where the silver had burned him.

As he pulled the sleeve of his sweatshirt over his hand and carefully picked up the earrings, the doorbell rang.

When Barney got up to answer the door, Parker dropped the horrid pieces of metal onto the table.

Jed's loud voice rang through the house. "Hi. I'm Jed. You must be Mr. Montgomery. Nice to meet you, sir."

Parker walked to the door where Jed was happily shaking his dad's hand. His dad pulled his hand back, turned around and walked back to the dining room.

"You okay?" Jed quietly asked Parker, his brows scrunched with concern.

Parker cradled his hand and nodded. "I'm fine."

As Parker closed the door behind him, he noticed his father carefully watching them from the dining room archway, juggling the earrings in his hand.

"You sure you're okay?" Jed asked again as they walked to his truck.

"I burned my hand on some silver," Parker replied. "It hurts."

Jed took Parker's hand and looked at the burns. "It's not too bad. It'll heal fairly quick. I think I have some aloe in the truck."

They got into the truck and Jed fished around the glove box and found the bottle of lotion.

Parker took the bottle and popped the cap. He turned it upside but suddenly stopped and looked back at Jed. "Please tell me that you don't use this for what I think you use it for."

The corner of Jed's mouth turned up in a smirk. "I don't use lube when I jack off, if that's what you're asking."




Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 08



Parker cringed. "Forget I said anything."

He spread the soothing lotion on his palm and the burn started to feel a little better.

"The burn should be gone in a couple of days," Jed said. "Quicker once you start shifting."

"Thanks," Parker said with a nod as he put the lotion back into the glove compartment.

Jed started the truck and pulled out of the driveway and headed out of town towards Camp Timber.

"And please, for the love of God, tell Colton that you didn't burn yourself on my watch," Jed snickered. "He's gonna bite my head off when he sees you."

Parker rolled his eyes. "He's not that bad." He thought for a moment. "Okay, maybe he is. Have you ever heard of F.V.P... No, F.V.W.P. Holdings?"

"Sure. That's Forrest's company. It's on my dad's paychecks. Forest View Wolf Pack. Why'd you ask?"

Parker shrugged. "Just wondered."

Jed's cell phone beeped and buzzed and he picked it up from where it was resting in the drink holder. He looked at the screen and chuckled, then handed the phone to Parker.

"Who's this?" Parker asked, looking at the smiling twink on the screen.

"We're supposed to hook up this weekend. Finally. He goes to school in the city. These past two weeks have been crazy. I'm gonna give myself carpal tunnel, if you know what I mean." Jed made a 'jerking off' motion just in case Parker didn't get it.

"I doubt Colton would appreciate you telling me that."

The phone buzzed in Parker's hand and a new text message scrolled into view. "He says he's not D.T.F., but he's curious." He handed the phone back to Jed. "I don't even want to know."

Jed just smiled. "He'll come around. I'll charm the pants right off the little dude. When he sees what I'm working with, he'll be ready to go."

"Yeah, Colton definitely wouldn't want you telling me all that. Actually, I don't want you telling me all that either."

Parker laughed, making Jed laugh with him.

"And speaking of carpal tunnel, I bet Colton had a blast signing all of that paperwork."

Parker smiled. "He said he'd text me when he got done at the lawyer's office. I can't believe he owns the camp now."

When they got to the camp, Parker and Jed got right to work. A large orange roll-off dumpster had been delivered, and they proceeded to fill it with garbage and demo scraps.

After an hour or so of making trips back and forth to the dumpster, Parker's hand was starting to hurt. He pulled off the glove and noticed that the blisters had started to bleed. He walked down to the river and knelt down. He rinsed his hand off, closing his eyes as he let the cool water wash the blood away from the burn.

The hair on the back of Parker's neck stood up. He lifted his head and sniffed the air. He didn't understand what he was smelling yet, but something wasn't right.

Parker stood up and looked around. He turned towards the cabins and shouted, "Jed?"

Jed came racing around one of the cabins, faster than Parker had ever seen him run. He was pulling off his clothes as he did, his face already in mid-shift.

Parker's head whipped to the side when he heard the snarling. He locked eyes with the grey wolf; those icy silver/steel eyes were wide and crazy, and foamy saliva dripped from its mouth.

The wolf came at Parker, but Jed's massive auburn-colored wolf let out a roar and leapt. Jed knocked the grey wolf back, then moved in front of Parker, blocking him from attack. He growled and snarled, warning the other wolf away.

The rabid wolf attacked Jed. He managed to get under the bigger wolf and he grabbed hold of Jed's front arm and jerked hard.

Jed howled, then snapped his jaws on one of the grey wolf's ears, ripping it in two, but the wolf still wouldn't let go.

Parker picked up a chunk of a cinder block and threw it hard at the grey wolf, hitting him in the back of the head, making him finally let go of Jed.

Jed took the opportunity to strike. He clamped his jaws on one of the grey wolf's paws and shook it. The bone cracked and the rabid shifter howled in pain as blood sprayed across the yard. He jerked and shook like a madman and managed to get loose from Jed's grasp, then ran off as fast as it could with three good legs into the woods.

Jed shifted back to his human form and slumped to the ground at Parker's feet.

"Are you okay?" Parker asked. He knelt down next to the naked man and examined the huge bruise on the front of his shoulder.

"Fucker dislocated my shoulder," Jed grunted. He sat up and rotated his arm and did a few stretches. "I'm fine."

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yeah. It's all good. He doesn't fight worth crap."

"He's erratic... it's like he's unfocused. Did you see him literally foaming at the mouth?"

"Yeah, but I hurt his ass good. He's gonna need a couple days to recover."

"I know this isn't what it looks like," Colton growled as he stormed into the back yard. "Someone better start explaining why my enforcer is naked and my mate is kneeling next to him."

* * *

Colton ended the call and threw his phone at the wall, but Trey caught it in mid air, saving it from destruction.

"They don't know anything about the fucking wolf. Dad admitted that they practically gave up looking for him. They're not even going to send anyone out here to track him." He turned and pointed a finger at Parker. "And you. You don't fucking go anywhere without one of us with you."

Parker folded his arms across his chest and glared back at his mate. "Hey, don't yell at me."

"I want this fucker dead." He directed his anger at Jed next. "You should have gone after him."

Jed hung his head. "Sorry. I fucked up."

"Hey, don't yell at Jed either," Parker said, coming to the enforcer's defense. "He got hurt protecting me."

"Everyone calm down," Trey interrupted. "This isn't helping."

"You're right," Colton admitted. He took a deep breath. "Okay. First off, we're not going to let that fucker dictate how we live our lives. And second, what we need is a plan..."

* * *

Parker was laughing as he ran through the woods. He could hear Colton behind him. His wolf was chasing him, playing with him. He could have caught him so long ago, so easily, but he was drawing out their play time.

Colton "woofed" from somewhere behind. He was close.

Parker was tired, but he pushed hard, not wanting to appear to be giving up. He jumped over a fallen tree, but his foot caught the top of the trunk and he nearly fell.

Suddenly, a flash of black fur leapt over him and Parker lost his footing, slipping on the fallen leaves covering the ground. He laughed as he lay down on the ground.

The big, black beast walked around him, growling and snarling.

"You got me," Parker panted through his laughs as he pushed up onto his knees. He brushed the leaves off the front of his shirt. Before he could get up, Colton moved in.

Colton growled low in his chest. The wolf's snout pressed between Parker's butt cheeks and then inhaled and snorted loudly. Colton head-butted Parker's back, knocking him forward onto his hands. The wolf's front paws grabbed at Parker's waist as he mounted Parker's back and pushed into position.

"Colton!"

Parker squirmed away and rolled over onto his back. He pushed his hands against Colton's chest in attempt to keep the big wolf away.

Colton surged forward, his body completely standing over Parker's.

Parker narrowed his eyes at his mate. "You are such a perv."

Colton opened his mouth and his tongue lolled out. He dipped his head and let out a huff of air. He was laughing.

Parker rolled his eyes. "I'm glad you think you're funny. But I swear if you come at me with wolf dick again, I'm gonna cut it off."

In response, Colton slurped his tongue upside Parker's face.

Parker wiped his face off, rolled from under Colton and pushed himself to his feet. Resting his hand on Colton's neck, he buried his fingers in the soft fur. He let Colton lead him through the woods as they continued their walk towards the Camp Timber cabins.

"I can't wait until I get to run with you for real. Just one more day."

Colton stopped walking and Parker looked down at him. Colton stared at him for a moment, then closed his eyes and rubbed his muzzle on Parker's hand.

"I love you, too, Colton."

* * *

"What on earth is wrong with you, Parker?" Kate looked across the dining room table at her son with furrowed brows.

Parker had barely touched his lunch. He was bouncing his legs under the table, while chewing on his thumbnail. He was restless. The sun hadn't even gone down yet, but he could already feel the pull of the full moon.

"Parker. Your father and I have been talking. Are you on drugs?" his mother asked. His father glanced up from his BlackBerry to listen to the answer.

Parker looked up from his plate. "What? No, of course not!"

"Well, what do you expect us to think?" his father added. "You're acting like a junkie. What has that Butler boy got you hooked on?"

Parker looked up at the clock. Colton was due to pick him up any minute. They were going out to the camp tonight. To run in the forest on their pack's land.

Tonight would be Parker's first change.

"I don't have time for this," Parker said with a sigh. "I'm going out tonight."

"I think it might be best if you stayed home tonight," Barney said.

"I can't. I promised my friends I'd help with their project."

"Cleaning up that abandoned campground? Is this some kind of community service? Your 'friend' has gotten into trouble again?"

"No, Dad. I've told you already, Colton is a good man."

Barney scoffed. "A 'good man.' I think you need to take a break from Colton."

Parker gripped the edge of the table as he fought back the urge to growl. "Actually, I have something I have to tell you... After graduation, I'm moving in with Colton."

"Excuse me?" Kate said.

Barney actually set down the BlackBerry. His face went bright red. "Are you fucking insane? What about college? Are you just going to throw your life away? For what? To live with a... trash?"

Parker closed his eyes and clenched his jaw as his stomach muscles contracted hard. His teeth and gums hurt. He rubbed the itchy pads of his fingers on his shorts. He felt a bead of sweat drip and roll down the middle his back, followed by another.

"Parker? Are you sure you're okay?" his mother asked with concern. "I really think you should stay in tonight. Why don't you go upstairs and lay down? We can talk about this later."

Parker shook his head and opened his eyes. "There's nothing to talk about. Dad already knows. Colton purchased the campground from Sheriff Forrest's company. I'm moving into the cabin with Colton."

Barney turned to Kate. "I have no idea what he's talking about. Do you? Are you hearing this? Your son has lost his fucking mind. He's gonna live in a commune like some god damned hippy."

Kate pursed her lips together. "Barney Montgomery, don't you dare raise your voice or cuss at me."

Barney scoffed. "This is all your fault. You coddled him and spoiled him, and now look at him. It's bad enough he's a homo--"

Parker pushed back from the table, sending his chair back with a loud thump. Anger rose inside him and it was a struggle to keep his voice calm. "I'm going out. It's not a school night. I'm going to spend the night at the camp. You can't stop me."

That last sentence came out in a half-growl that had both of his parents suddenly silent.

Before his parents could respond, Parker got up and grabbed Colton's hoodie. He pulled it on and grabbed the backpack he had packed earlier and left the house.

He was sitting on the curb when Colton pulled up several minutes later.

"You okay?" Colton asked when Parker got settled inside the car. He rubbed his hand against Parker's cheek and looked at Parker with concern.

Parker leaned over and rubbed his nose and cheeks against Colton's neck. He put his arms around his mate and hugged him tight and breathed in his scent.

No wonder Colton was always smelling him. Just a whiff of Colton calmed his nerves.

"I am now."

* * *

Colton sat down on their bed and watched Parker pace back and forth across the cabin's main room. He could feel that Parker's beast was close to the surface, scratching to get out. It wouldn't be long.

Parker needed to relax. If he continued to work himself into a frenzy, he was going to hurt himself during the change.

This was a big deal, bigger than he let Parker know. Humans who were turned often died during their first change, especially if they didn't understand what was going on and fought it.

A smile spread across Colton's face. He knew just how to get Parker relaxed.

"C'mere, pup. You're gonna wear a hole in the floor." Colton patted the empty space on the bed next to him.

Parker sat down next to Colton and leaned against him. His breathing was erratic and he was shaking and sweating.

Colton put his finger under the friendship bracelet he made for Parker. "We need to take this off," he said. "And the necklace."

Parker shook his head. "No." He snatched his hand away from Colton, and cradled his neck. "Please don't make me."

"They'll break off when you shift, Parker. You'll lose them. Besides, you already bear my permanent marks on your body." He traced his fingers over the tattoo on Parker's right bicep. "Here." His hand continued up to the left side of Parker's neck and he lightly caressed the bite scar. "And here."

Parker sighed and it came out ragged and uneven. "O-o-okay..."

Colton carefully removed the friendship bracelet and the leather necklace and wolf pendant from Parker's neck. He set them on the table next to the bed.

Colton bent down and kissed Parker, pushing his tongue between his pup's lips. Parker let out a little moan, opening his mouth and submitting to Colton.

"Show me your belly, pup."

Colton pulled his own t-shirt off and tossed it on the floor. Parker did the same, and then slid up to the middle of the bed and laid down.

Colton admired the tattoo on Parker's right bicep. His ink looked good on his pup. He moved over Parker, and licked and nibbled Parker's stomach, while working Parker's shorts off. Once he got his pup naked, he laved his tongue up and down his cock, quickly getting it fully hard.

"Turn over," Colton growled. He helped Parker roll over onto his belly, then grabbed his hips. With a tug, he pulled Parker onto his hands and knees. "Stay there."

Colton knelt behind Parker and spread his ass cheeks wide. That tight little hole he loved so damn much clenched and unclenched in anticipation. Colton growled in his throat and hawked and spat on it. He attacked it, licking and sucking with enthusiasm. He nipped at the skin with his teeth, then pointed his tongue and thrust it inside and fucked it. The moans and whimpers that spilled from Parker pleased him. Colton's cock jerked and dripped pre-come onto the sheets. He couldn't wait until he was inside Parker.

When Parker was trembling with need, babbling incoherently, his fists gripping the sheets in an iron grip, Colton knew it was time.

He grabbed the lube and slicked up his cock, then got into position. He held Parker firmly in place, one hand gripping a shoulder. He slapped that quivering hole with the girth of his cock.

"Please, Colt. Put it in me..."

Colton lined up and thrust into him to the hilt.

"Oh!" Parker cried. "Colt! God! Yes."

Colton gripped Parker in a death grip, making sure he wasn't going to escape. "Take it," he barked. He roughly pounded into his mate doggy-style, hard and fast, nailing that sensitive prostate on nearly every thrust.

And Parker loved every second. His pup begged for it while pushing his ass back against Colton. His moans and whimpers only added fuel to Colton's fire.

Colton leaned over Parker's body. He reached around and grabbed Parker's dick as he clamped his teeth on the curve of Parker's neck. His teeth pierced the mating scar and Parker let out a scream. Colton felt Parker's dick jerking as hot come shot out of it, covering the sheets beneath them.

Colton threw his head back and roared as he came, filling his pup's ass with his liquid heat until it was overflowing and dripping down Parker's balls and the inside of his leg.

When Colton finally loosened his grip on Parker, his boy slumped forward onto his belly, falling into the wet spot he had just created. "Oh man, oh damn... so good..."

Colton flopped down on his back next to him. "I aim to please."

Parker's eyes drifted shut and he began to softly snuffle.

Colton watched him sleep, but it was an uneasy sleep. Every time Parker whined or jerked in his sleep, Colton would touch him and rub him until he calmed back down.

It would be over soon. Once Parker made it through the turning, he would be just fine.

Colton's thoughts were interrupted by the sudden screech of his cell phone ringing. He reached down to the floor and pulled it from the pocket of his blue jeans. "Yeah Jed? What's up?"

"Hey, boss, if you're done sexing up your mate, that bear is here to see you."

"Don't call me 'boss,' damn it. We'll meet you in the mess hall."

* * *

After getting cleaned up and dressed, Parker followed Colton out of their cabin to the common building. Jed, Trey and Buck the bear shifter were sitting down at the long dining table that Colton purchased last week.

Colton held out his hand and he and Buck shook. "Buck, it's good to see you again. What can I do for you?"

"It's about Stan."

"Stan? Where is he, is he okay?"

"Yeah. He's back home, in town. The thing is... He needs a pack. Tonight's the full moon and he gets restless. I was hoping that you'd let him play with you, or whatever it is you guys do."

Colton nodded. "He's more than welcome. I take it you two want to be pack then?"

Buck nodded. "If you'd take Stan in, I'd appreciate it."

"You're Stan's mate, aren't you? That means both of you."

"I'm sure you picked up on the fact that I'm not a wolf."

"It doesn't matter. You are Stan's mate."

Buck didn't answer for a few seconds. "Yeah," he said with a sigh as he rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm Stan's mate. I just... I'm a loner, I don't really know how to deal with packs and wolves and mates."

"Well, there ain't no better way to learn than a full moon run with a pack of wolves."

"Suppose you're right. There is something else you should know before you decide to let us in. I think someone's been sniffing after Stan."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know if it's maybe someone from his old pack, but there's been some shit happening. It's weird, though. Something's off about its scent, but I think it's a wolf shifter, not a wolf. It attacked Stan the other day when we were walking in the woods, but I fought him off."

Parker gasped and he looked at Colton with a panicked look on his face.

Colton's face turned dark and his voice took on a menacing growl. "When I find that fucker, I'm gonna gut him like a fucking pig. Pack or not, you're in my territory. That means you're under my protection. We got Stan's back. Right, guys?"

Parker and Trey nodded their agreement.

"Damn straight," Jed added.

"Good," Colton said with a nod. "Now that that's been settled, go get Stan and come on back. Tonight is Parker's first change and Timber Pack's having a birthday celebration."

* * *

The pack stood around the roaring firepit as the sun set and the moon began to rise.

Buck and Stan stood silently before Colton while Parker, Trey and Jed looked on.

"Tonight we welcome two new brothers into our pack. Do you pledge your loyalty to Timber Pack?"

"Yes, Alpha," Stan replied, with Buck mimicking him.

Colton looked to Parker, Trey and Jed. "Do you accept their pledge?"

"Yes, Alpha," the three replied.

Colton grasped the back of Stan's neck. When Stan tipped his head, Colton scraped the sharp claw of his thumb down the side, drawing a drop of blood. Colton leaned forward and sniffed the young pup.




Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 08



He repeated the same on a skeptical-looking Buck.

"Welcome to Timber Pack, my brothers," Colton said.

He shook Buck's hand, then did the same with Stan.

Stan grabbed Buck's hand. He looked up at his mate through glassy eyes, a big, happy grin on his face. "Thank you."

Buck looked down at Stan in awe. "If it gets you to look at me like that, cub, I'll do anything. Anything you want."

Jed cleared his throat. "Uh, you do know he's a wolf pup and not a bear cub, right?"

Parker nudged Jed in the ribs. "God, you got a big mouth. Stop ruining their moment."

Parker's belly suddenly cramped and he doubled over and dropped to his knees.

A grin spread across Colton's face. "It's time, pup."

* * *

Parker slumped down onto the ground and wanted to die. He was completely naked and everyone was staring at him, but he couldn't even stop to care. He itched everywhere; it felt like he had ants crawling underneath his skin. His joints and muscles ached all over, making him feel like he got hit by an eighteen-wheeler.

He rolled over onto his side and let out a pained whimper. His breathing went shallow and quickened. He was going to hyperventilate.

"Parker."

Parker looked up at his mate. Colton was standing in front of the campfire in all of his glorious nakedness, but Parker hurt so bad he couldn't even think of getting it up for his sexy alpha mate.

On either side of Colton were two large wolves: one chocolate brown, and one a dark auburn brown. Nearby, stood a big brown grizzly bear with a small grey wolf plastered by his side.

Parker gasped. Holy shit, a grizzly bear! Oh, wait, it was Buck. He knew that. Why couldn't he think straight?

"Parker, look at me."

Parker met Colton's dark eyes. Colton stepped forward and squatted down.

"You can do this, pup," he said quietly. "I am so proud of you and I can't wait to run with you."

Parker's body was wracked with another jolt of agonizing pain. "Hurts..."

"You're fighting the change. Don't fight it, pup. Relax. Look up at the moon. Feel the pull."

Parker looked up past Colton at the full moon. The air was clear and the moon was big and bright as it began its rise into the sky.

"Think of my wolf," Colton whispered. "Remember the first time you saw me, touched me? Remember what it was like when I changed? Think of your body doing that."

Parker closed his eyes and thought back on the first time he saw Colton change. He remembered laying with the wolf, how comforting it felt.

"There you go." Colton's whisper was so soothing. "I can feel it, Parker. I can feel your wolf."

Parker felt something in the back of his consciousness pushing at him, wanting to get out. He took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. As he opened his eyes and looked up at the moon, his body relaxed and went limp.

His skin started to tingle as if a static charge covered him.

The bones in his legs snapped, making Parker scream in pain.

It was finally happening; he couldn't stop it!

His eyes flew up to Colton's face in panic and he stared into Colton's dark eyes.

"That's it, pup. Let me see you."

Parker's bones cracked and stretched. Hair pushed its way through his skin. His new teeth and fangs burst through his gums and he tasted the copper tinge of blood. His jaw, nose and ears elongated as claws pushed through his fingers. His tailbone popped as a tail grew out.

Several seconds later, a small wolf with fur almost as white as the moon lay on the ground.

Colton dropped to a squat. He rubbed his hands through Parker's fur. He looked down at Parker with tears in his dark eyes, eyes full of love and pride. "You're so beautiful, pup. Happy birthday." A tear slid down Colton's cheek.

Parker liked that Colton called today his second birthday. In a way, he really was reborn today. He swiped his tongue across Colton's hand.

Colton laughed quietly. "I love you, too, pup."

Colton leaned forward onto his hands and Parker watched his change through his new eyes.

The massive black wolf nudged Parker with his muzzle. Parker awkwardly pushed to his feet, standing on four paws for the first time. Parker took his first shaky steps. He circled around the bonfire, becoming more comfortable with each step he took.

Making his way back to his mate, he leaned against Colton. The big black wolf rubbed his body all over Parker's, bathing him in the alpha's scent.

Colton lifted his head and howled triumphantly. Parker tipped his head back and joined in. Trey, Jed and Stan did the same while Buck let loose a grizzly roar.

Colton looked at each of the members of his pack in turn, then took off full speed into the forest.

Parker leapt forward and gave chase after his Alpha. After his mate.

* * *

Parker rolled over and groaned. His body ached in places he didn't even know could ache. He opened his eyes and found Colton laying next to him, watching him.

They were back in their bed and the sun was shining brightly through the cabin windows.

"How do you feel?" Colton asked. He ran his fingers over Parker's forehead, pushing his bangs to the side.

"Like I got hit by a bus."

"Your body is adjusting to the shift. Tonight will be much easier."

"Tonight?" Parker groaned.

"Yeah, tonight. What, you thought the full moon was only one night? I promise it'll be better tonight."

"I hope so."

"You're a beautiful wolf, Parker. My wolf was very happy. He loves you."

"Yeah," Parker muttered, his face going bright red. "I could tell." The pain in his backside reminded him acutely of how much Colton's wolf liked his wolf.

Colton laughed. "I couldn't help myself."

"Jeez, Colt. You could've at least warned me beforehand that you were going to have wolf sex with me."

"I didn't plan on it. But my wolf wanted it, so I took it," he said unapologetically.

Parker remembered spending the night running around the forest with Colton and his pack-mates. Running as a wolf was amazing. He felt one with nature. He finally understood what Colton had told him. His pack-mates were more than just friends. They were his brothers.

He watched with fascination as they boxed in a huge buck and killed it. While he previously would have been revolted by such a display, there was something so natural about it.

Colton used his powerful jaws and dragged the deer over to Parker, proudly presenting his mate with the prize. Parker cringed and backed away when Colton began to eat, but watching Colton tear into the deer did something to Parker. Parker moved in and shared the animal with his mate. When they were finished, Parker did his best to drag the carcass over to the others.

He watched them feast while Colton bathed him all over with his tongue, then rubbed his fur all over Parker's body. After Colton sniffed and licked around Parker's tail, he grabbed Parker by the scuff of his neck and dragged him deeper into the woods for privacy.

The memory of Colton's wolf mounting him had Parker covering his eyes with his arm and groaning in embarrassment.

Colton laughed softly. The smug grin on his face made Parker nudge him in the ribs with an elbow. "Stop thinking about that. It's not right."

"Your wolf submitted to me. I would have backed off if you didn't want it."

"Just don't tell anyone."

"I'm sure they knew what we were doing."

"Oh god."

Parker rolled onto his back and stretched his arms over his head. His back and shoulders popped and he relaxed back into the mattress. He reached up and scratched his cheek, surprised to find stubble.

"Someone needs to shave," Colton said.

"Really?"

"Yup."

"I've never been able to grow a beard before," Parker said as he stroked his scratchy chin. "I barely had peach fuzz. Maybe I'll grow a goatee."

"I think you'll shave it smooth."

"Because it's all about what you like," he said sarcastically.

"Yup. Thanks for figuring that out. Oh, well looky here," Colton said with a chuckle. The tip of his finger traced down Parker's chest to his belly button. His finger wiggled through the blond treasure trail that led down to his groin.

Parker sat up on his elbows and looked down. He didn't have that trail of hair before. It led down to his pubes, where his cock was half asleep, half hard, underneath Colton's caressing hand.

Pressure in his bladder reminded Parker he urgently needed to take care of business.

"I gotta pee."

He hopped out of bed and hurried to the bathroom. He stood in front of the toilet and gripped his dick. He let his head fall back between his shoulders as he sighed and relaxed his muscles. Urine streamed out and splashed everywhere, splattering his fingers and the toilet rim.

"Damn! What the hell?!"

Parker looked down. The head of his penis was completely covered by a foreskin. "Where the hell did that come from?!"

He pulled the skin back like he had seen Colton do and got things under control, the remaining urine making it into the actual toilet bowl.

"I told you scars would heal," Colton said with a laugh. He was leaning in the bathroom doorway, watching Parker.

"I didn't think you meant this," he groused as he shook it off.

While Parker washed his hands and around the head of his new dick, Colton cleaned the toilet and the floor.

"It feels funny," Parker said as he slid the skin back and forth, playing with it like it was a brand new toy.

"Let me see."

Colton took Parker's dick in his hand and started to slide his hand up and down. "Nice and smooth. So pink and pretty."

Parker was about to protest his penis being called pretty, but he was overwhelmed by the feeling of Colton's hand. He grabbed the bathroom counter and let out a moan as he stiffened to full erection. "Holy crap." The new sensations were quickly taking him to the edge. "Oh god, Colt," he gasped.

"Let's see if it tastes the same," Colton said as he dropped down to his knees.

* * *

The grey wolf watched the cabin from a distance. He could smell his enemy inside, could hear them laughing, could hear them fucking.

And he seethed with rage.

He almost had the little bitch again, but he hadn't scented the big, dumb red-head. His injured ear twitched as a reminder of what the big one did to him. Yes, that one would die too.

He growled, dripping foamy saliva onto the ground.

The next time he would succeed.

Even if it killed him.



Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 09



As Parker pushed his way through the crowded hallway on his way to class, his phone started to vibrate in his pocket. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled it out and looked at the display. Expecting it to be Colton, the name and picture on the screen surprised Parker. He hadn't really spoken with Shell in a couple of weeks, not since the split. And then it was just a mumbled "hi" as they passed in the hallway.

Parker moved out of the way and ducked behind the door of his second period class.

"Hello?"

"Parker. I need to talk to you," Shell answered. Her voice was clipped and strained. And the fact that she called him by name instead of "girl" or "hooker" let Parker know that she was pissed.

"Okay..."

"Now. Not on the phone."

"I'm about to go into class. Don't you have—"

"Skip it," she interrupted. "Meet me outside, by the gym side doors."

"Okay. I'm on my way."

Parker found Shell pacing outside the gym doors. When she saw him, she grabbed his arm and yanked him hard, pulling him back behind the garbage dumpsters.

The smell of the dumpsters assaulted Parker's sensitive nose. He wasn't prepared when Shell shoved his chest hard with her hands, knocking him backwards against the brick wall.

"I oughta beat your ass!"

Parker stared at her in shock, too surprised to speak.

She gave him another hard shove. "You were supposed to be my friend!"

Shell slowly backed away, slumped against the wall and dropped down to her butt. She pulled her legs up to her chest. "Why didn't you tell me?" she whispered as tears started to stream down her face.

Parker sat down next to her. He sniffled and wiped his own eyes. "I'm sorry," was all he could come up with to say.

She stared straight ahead, a haunted look in her eyes. "I knew there was something weird about Curtis. I followed him. I watched him take his clothes off..." She closed her eyes and shuddered.

"Then you saw... You saw him?"

"Yes. It's like fucking 'Twilight' and I'm playing the part of that stupid white bitch. I don't wanna be the stupid bitch." She scrubbed the tears from her eyes and let out a rough sigh. "After I beat his ass, he told me what he was. And he finally told me what happened with Colton being exiled, and what he did to you."

"I'm Colton's mate. He didn't 'do' anything to me. It's hard to explain..."

Shell unbuttoned the top two buttons of her blouse. She pulled her collar aside. At the curve of her neck was a fresh bite mark.

"Oh, shit."

"I broke up with the bastard."

Parker gasped. "You did? How?"

"What do you mean 'how'? I told him to leave me the fuck alone."

"Don't you feel... I don't know... a pull?"

"Whatever," she said with a dismissive hand wave, but the wince on her face let Parker know that she did feel it. "I'm not gonna let him run my life. I am my own woman."

Parker shook his head. "Mm-hmm. You say 'whatever' now. But trust me, you won't be able to keep away from him. You know I'll be there for you when you change, but you're gonna want Curtis. It's kind of special. You'll want to be with your mate and you'll regret it later if he's not there. You can still be your own woman."

Shell's cell phone rang. She looked at the screen and sighed. She turned the screen to show Curtis's picture, a seductive head shot with intense eyes. "Curtis. Again."

Shell looped her arms around Parker's and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Everything will be okay," he whispered.

* * *

Parker sat on the little porch of their cabin watching the snow fall. It was the first day of winter break and it was the first snow of the season. He liked the snow and always liked to watch it fall. It always calmed and relaxed him. The smell of wood burning permeated the air as smoke rose from the chimney. Parker couldn't wait to live here with his Colton.

Colton had moved into the cabin not even a month into their exile. Being an alpha and living under the rival pack beta's roof apparently wasn't a good idea. He and his father nearly came to blows on more than one occasion. It wasn't that his father was necessarily a bad guy, but there was definitely a power thing going on.

Jed followed a couple of days later, moving into his own cabin down the row. Not because he didn't get along with his parents but out of loyalty to Colton. His mom stocked him up with all kinds of goodies. All of his brothers helped move his things. Jed's parents were so full of love and pride for Jed it made Parker want to cry. He was so happy for Jed but just a little bit jealous too.

They had replaced the beat-up furniture in several of the cabins with some stuff they picked up cheap from a few online sellers and garage sales. Parker spent a lot of time on the interior of their cabin, trying to make it a home for him and Colton.

Jed, Trey and Colton worked on the cabin exteriors. With the repairs and fresh coats of trim paint, the rustic little log cabins looked like homes. The camp had truly been transformed from what it was when Parker first saw it.

Parker was happy.

He heard the SUV's engine before he saw it. He stood up when he saw the official sheriff's department vehicle come around the bend and through the trees on the two-track.

Parker watched Deputy Carlton Butler park the truck in the parking area and walk up to the cabin.

Parker couldn't help but notice how much Colton looked like his father. Though the Forest View Pack's beta wolf was looking tired these days and he seemed to have a little more gray in his beard and hair than he did a couple of months ago.

Carlton pulled his leather glove off and held out his hand. "Parker."

Parker shook his hand, but Carlton didn't let go, gripping Parker's hand in an overly tight grip. He stared Parker down. Only when Parker dipped his head and turned his head slightly to bare his neck to the bigger man did he let go.

The display of power made Parker nervous and unsettled, if only because it would have sent Colton through the roof if he had witnessed it.

Parker put on a careful smile. "It's good to see you, Mr. Butler. Colton's not here. He and the guys went into the city to get some more building supplies. We're working on the common building and the mess hall kitchen this week."

"Ah."

"Would you like to come in? I have a fresh pot of coffee brewed and a fire in the fireplace."

"Sure."

Parker went inside and shrugged his winter coat off and hung it on the coat rack behind the door.

Carlton followed Parker into the cabin. He unzipped his coat, pulled his uniform hat off and set it under his arm. He looked around the cabin, taking in the surroundings. He walked over to the fireplace and stoked the fire with the poker.

"You two have made this a nice home. It's cozy." The genuineness in Carlton's voice made Parker smile.

"Thank you," Parker replied as he handed Carlton a mug of coffee. He took the deputy's hat from the older shifter and hung it on the hook on the back of the front door.

"Not what you are used to, though, hmm?"

"I suppose, but I love it here."

The burly deputy sipped his hot coffee. He stood silent for a moment, clearly uneasy but trying not to be. "Have you been living here with Colton then?"

"No. I'm still living at home. But I stay here with Colton sometimes."

Parker's eyes darted uneasily towards the bed. He now wished that he had made it when they got up this morning. Of course, it reeked of sex and there was no hiding that. Damn. He should have changed the sheets. The last thing he needed was for Colton's dad of all people to be reminded of their private business. It was bad enough that the older man had seen him when Colton had turned him, all naked and just-been-fucked, laid out on the floor of Colton's bathroom.

"That's one of the things I wanted to talk to Colton about. Your father is not happy. He came to me to break you two up. Colton needs to deal with this now. You may want to suggest it to him. He won't listen to anyone else."

Carlton's eyes drifted down Parker's neck to the mating scar before he looked back at Parker.

Parker understood what the man was trying to tell him.

Parker noticed Carlton cocking his head slightly towards the window. Parker stretched his senses, trying to detect what the other man had heard or smelled. He could hear Jed's big truck coming up the drive.

"That's them now."

Carlton nodded at Parker's obvious statement.

A couple of minutes later, the door opened and Colton came through. Jed walked in behind him, and leaned against the doorway, assessing the situation.

"Hey, pup," Colton said as he walked through the door. He walked past his father and planted a kiss on Parker's mouth.

He turned around, standing between Parker and his father. He unbuttoned his coat as he gave his father a watchful eye. "Dad. Something I can help you with?"

Colton looked over at Jed. Jed nodded and walked out of the cabin, closing the door behind him.

"Why don't we take a seat?" Colton said, waving towards the living area.

Parker grabbed his backpack, laptop and math book off the armchair so that Carlton could have a place to sit.

"I'm here about the rogue wolf," Carlton said as he sat down in the armchair.

Parker and Colton sat down on the couch together. Colton stretched his feet out and crossed them at the ankle, then slung his arms along the back of the couch, his fingertips resting on Parker's shoulder.

Everything about him said that he was king of the castle. Well, it was more of a shack than a castle, but here Colton was king and Carlton was merely a visitor in his territory.

He didn't speak but waited for his father to continue.

Carlton frowned. "He was spotted by a pack member. Sonia. She works at the high school, in the facilities department. He was apparently underneath the stadium's bleachers. When he saw her and a human co-worker approaching, he ran off. It took some convincing on Sonia's part to calm the human down."

"The stadium?" Parker asked. "What would he be doing at the school?"

Carlton ignored the question from Parker, and focused his attention on Colton. "He also attacked a group of kids in the woods by the old water tower. TJ Carlisle was hurt pretty bad." Carlton glanced at Parker, before looking back at Colton. "Curtis Lakewood tried to fight him off... The damage was very extensive. He nearly didn't make it."

Parker covered his mouth as he gasped in horror. "What? No!"

Parker thought of Shell and his heart broke for her. What if it had been Colton? He didn't want to appear like a wimp in front of Colton's dad, but he couldn't help it. Tears welled in his eyes and he burrowed closer to Colton's side.

Colton put his arms around him and held him tight. He kissed Parker's head and whispered soothingly, "Shh... It's okay, pup. Breathe..."

Carlton cleared his throat. "Has there been any activity here?"

"You know about the second attack on Parker. He also attacked the pup who's mated to the bear in the village, but Buck managed to scare him off." Colton paused for a moment, then added, "And Jed and Trey chased him away from the camp last weekend."

Parker's head lifted and his jaw dropped. "What? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't want to worry you."

"You didn't— But what if something happened to you or Jed or Trey—"

Parker was about to have a full-blown meltdown.

Colton's growl was barely audible, but it was enough to stop Parker. Colton's eyes glanced towards his father for a split second. Parker backed down. He didn't want to show Colton disrespect in front of a rival pack member, even if he was family.

Carlton stood up. "I'd better be going."

Colton rose from the couch and shook his hand.

His father picked up his hat from the hook on the door and put it on and buttoned up his coat. "I was telling Parker that you've made a nice home here."

"Thanks, Dad." After an awkward pause, he added, "I'll be in touch."

"Good."

"Goodbye, Mr. Butler," Parker said.

"Bye, Parker. Colton." With a dip of his chin, Colton's father left the cabin.

* * *

Parker paced back and forth in his parents' backyard. A sound coming from the house next door broke his daze. He hurried over to the fence and, hidden behind a row of pine trees, watched Shell close the back door behind her and look around.

"Psst."

Shell turned towards the noise and rolled her eyes at Parker. "For real with the 'psst'? You would make the worst spy, double-O-gay. Meet me in back by the big tree."

Parker made his way to the back gate. As he swung the iron gate open, he smelled the distinct odor of Colton's piss. It smelled recent. He rolled his eyes, shut the gate behind him, and hurried into the woods.

"Hey," Parker whispered. "How is he?"

Shell sat down on the grass cross-legged. Parker mimicked her, sitting facing her.

"He's doing a lot better," she said with relief. "He's sore and exhausted, but he's finally getting up and moving around."

"I'm so glad," Parker said with a relieved sigh. He grabbed Shell's hand and squeezed it. "I was so worried for you when Colton's dad told us what happened."

"I just don't get why they were attacked."

"I don't know either. Colton thinks it's a territory thing."

Shell narrowed her eyes. The growl building in her chest surprised Parker. "I could kill Seth Forrest. You know what he did? When the wolf attacked, he stepped back while Curtis and TJ fought for him."

"Seth is an asshole and a coward. But he'll probably be the next leader of the Forest View Pack..."

"Oh god. Don't get me started on that pack stuff."

"I know right. Curtis sounds loyal."

"He is," Shell said as she beamed with pride.

"You should be proud of him. It's a shame that someone like Seth just abuses it."

"Yeah..."

Parker smiled inwardly. He couldn't say anything to Shell about leaving her pack, but that didn't mean he couldn't manipulate the situation a little bit with some hints. "So you two are back together then?"

"Well... we're still working things out," she said as she subconsciously rubbed the bite mark over her neck.

"Are you nervous about meeting the Alpha?"

"I met him at the clinic. Did you know there's a medical clinic for werewolves? Yeah, that wild animal clinic by the forest ranger's station. What the fuck, right? Anyway. Despite being related to Seth, he seems kinda nice."

Parker blinked. "'Kinda nice'?"

"Yeah. He hugged me and everything, and said 'Welcome to the Pack.'"

"You're kidding me. He didn't grab your head and sniff you?"

Shell looked at Parker like he had lost his mind. "Sure, he sniffed me, but he didn't grab me."

"He didn't say anything about you being human?"

"No. Why would he?"

Parker scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Of course. Since you're a girl. And you can make pups," he said bitterly.

Shell gave him a sympathetic smile. "Sorry."

Parker shrugged. It wasn't like there was anything he could do about it and it didn't make a difference. He was part of a new pack where bullshit like that didn't matter. Parker's stomach growled loudly and he grabbed at it and gave Shell an embarrassed smile. "Sorry. I'm hungry."

"Me too. I haven't had anything to eat all day."

"There's this diner in Timber. We could go there. No one would see us together. And they have fantastic cake."

"Sounds good."

Parker got up and followed Shell to her car and the two of them sped off, taking the two-lane highway towards Timber.

"I feel all sneaky," Parker chuckled.

Shell scoffed. "I can do whatever I want with whoever I want."

When they turned onto the village's main street, Shell parallel parked in front of the diner. Stepping onto the sidewalk, Parker looked down the street at the Timber General Store.

"Hey, let me introduce you to Buck and Stan first," Parker offered. He motioned down the sidewalk towards the Timber General Store. "They just joined our pack. They're mates, too. Buck's a bear."

"Is he really a bear?" Shell whispered. "Like a were-bear?"

"Yes. But don't worry. He won't eat you. Were-bear", he added with a snicker. "It rhymes. Were-bear."

"Oh my god, you are such a dork."

They walked into the store. Buck was standing at the register behind the counter looking up something on his computer. The burly man looked up from the counter.

Parker waved and smiled at the big bear. "Hey, Buck."

"Parker," Buck nodded. He tilted his head slightly and scratched at his thick beard as he looked Shell over.

"Hi, Parker," Stan said with a smile as he came from the back room. The small, dark-haired wolf wiped his hands on his apron and gave Parker a quick hug.

"This is my friend, Shell," Parker said. "That's Buck, and this is Stan."

"You looking for anything in particular?" Stan asked.

"No. We didn't come in to shop. We were going to the diner to grab a bite to eat and I wanted to introduce her to you guys." Parker glanced at Buck. He wanted to ask Stan to come along, since he wanted to get to know the guy better.

Buck put his hand on Stan's shoulder. "Why don't you take a break and go grab a bite?"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. I'll be fine." Buck leaned down and gave Stan a quick kiss on the lips and then smacked him on the ass. "Go on, cub."

Stan's cheeks went pink as he looked at Parker and Shell with an embarrassed smile on his face, which made both Shell and Parker laugh.

The trio walked down the street to the diner. Parker and Stan waved to Dottie then took the booth furthest from the rest of the diners. Shell slid in next to Parker, and Stan sat across from them.

"Hello again," Dottie greeted them happily and took their drink orders.

After a moment of awkward silence, Shell looked at Stan and asked, "So your mate is a bear, huh?"

"Yeah. He's a big Kodiak bear, actually." Stan smiled. It was obvious that he adored his bear.

"Damn. I'm just getting used to the fact that there are werewolves." At Stan's frown of the word 'werewolf,' Shell quickly amended, "I mean lycans. Wolf shifters. Whatever."

Stan nodded. "From what I understand, they're not very common, the bears. So, I take it you haven't been mated long, since you haven't had your first shift. You're part of the Forest View Pack?"

Shell rolled her eyes. "Mm. I don't have a mate and I don't need a pack either."

Parker exchanged a glance with Stan. "She's going through a rebellious stage."

Shell opened her mouth to retort, but Dottie arrived with their drinks and then took their orders.

Once Dottie left, Stan played with his straw in his glass, swirling it around his ice cubes. "You won't be able to resist him," he said quietly.

Shell let out a sigh. "I'll take the big idiot back, but he's gonna have to do a hell of a lot of groveling. But how did you know about that?"

Stan shrugged and gave her a small smile. "I can smell another wolf on you."

Shell actually looked like she was blushing. "Ew, gross."

All three laughed.

"You'll get used to it," Stan said. "Most shifters tend to have no sense of modesty when it comes to stuff like that."

"I am not very good at smells yet," Parker interjected. "Except for Colton. I can pick him out anywhere. He's got the best smell."

Shell rolled her eyes and pretended to gag, making Stan laugh.

Stan added, "And I can just tell that you haven't shifted yet."

"Were you born a wolf?" Parker asked Stan.

"Yup. I was born in the De Soto Pack in Mississippi."

"Really?" Parker asked. "I guess that explains the accent. So what are you doing way up here?"

"Well... My pack isn't very accepting of people who are different. And being smaller than most of the pack, they pushed me around... They decided they didn't want me around and I decided I couldn't stay..."

"Hmph," Parker grumped. "That seems to be a common theme."

Shell rolled her eyes. "See, that's bullshit. That's why I don't want a pack. Are they all homophobic like that?" she asked.




Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 09



"Not Timber Pack," Parker proudly answered.

Stan smiled. "Timber Pack is great. When I left, I was heading north to Canada. I heard about a pack there that took in gays and strays. I ended up on the road outside Timber, and then I met Buck." He thought for a moment then quietly spoke, "You won't be able to survive on your own." He looked out the window and stared off into the distance. "Wolves need packs. So many nights I spent alone, I just wished I was dead. Until I found Buck." He looked back at Shell and Parker and tried to smile, but he still had a haunted look in his eyes.

Parker and Shell reached out and each of them took one of Stan's hands.

"You're not alone anymore," Parker said.

Dottie brought their lunch and the three ate, making small talk about happier topics.

"This weekend is Colton's birthday," Parker said between bites. "He'll be nineteen."

"Wow. He seems so much older," Stan said. "I'm twenty-one and I feel like a dorky kid when I'm around him."

"Yeah. He looks like a man. But I suppose that's what he is now." Parker turned to Shell. "Do you think you could come? I'd ask you to bring Curtis, but there's no way he would come. Not to the birthday party of a rival pack's alpha."

"I'll try to be there. But, yeah, I don't know about Curtis. We'll see."

"So, here's what I have planned...."

* * *

"He's gonna be here any minute," Parker mumbled to himself as he raced around the room trying to fix last minute touches. He fluffed the pillows on the couch for the tenth time.

Stan and Buck were helping decorate the mess hall in the common building for Colton's birthday. Well, Parker and Stan were decorating. Buck was sitting at the long table drinking a beer and scratching his belly.

"Calm down," Stan said, pulling Parker away from the couch. "It's fine. Those pillows are going to fall apart if you fluff them anymore."

The pack all pitched in for Colton's birthday present. They had turned the unused half of the common room into a recreation area. Buck bought a big widescreen TV and got it hooked it up with a satellite dish. Some over-sized furniture made it nice and comfy for lounging around and watching TV or movies. Jed also hooked up his Xbox system. The rec area would give the pack another place to hang out together.

Parker handed Buck a "happy birthday" banner. "Can you hang that over there?"

Buck looked at the banner with a cocked head. "Uh, sure."

"Come on," Stan said with a snicker as he tugged Buck's hand. "We need you. You're so big and tall."

Jed walked in carrying the birthday cake. "Cake's here! Trey just texted me. He and Colton will be here any minute."

Jed set the cake down on the table and Parker looked it over. The round three-layer cake looked fantastic and professionally done, complete with the Timber pack's tattoo design in frosting on top.

"My mom helped me make it," Jed said. "Okay, mom made it. But I decorated it."

"Good job," Parker said.

Parker was disappointed that Shell didn't show up. He thought that they had really made strides in mending their friendship. The hints he planted about joining their pack hadn't exactly been subtle, but apparently it wasn't going to happen. Not that Parker was going to give up. If he needed to hint a little harder, then that's what he'd do.

He went into the kitchen and checked on the food. Their cabin had a little kitchenette in it, but Parker really liked the big professional kitchen in here. He found cooking for Colton and the guys to be relaxing. The way they ate like they were starving made Parker feel like he had done something important for his brothers.

He pulled a pan of macaroni and cheese from the oven and set it on a rack to cool.

Stan poked his head through the window that opened into the kitchen. "They're here!"

As soon as Colton and Trey stepped into the mess hall, everyone yelled, "Surprise!"

"What? A surprise? For me?" Colton said with feigned shock.

Parker rolled his eyes and frowned. "You knew."

"Of course I knew. I'm the alpha." Colton grabbed Parker around the neck and pulled him close. "Thank you, pup."

* * *

Of course Colton knew about the party. He could read Parker like a book. That didn't mean he didn't appreciate what his pup did for him. The whole pack was together, celebrating Colton's birthday.

It meant a lot to him that they were all here. And with the new rec area, there would be a new place for them to gather.

Colton had offered Buck and Stan one of the cabins, but they decided to stay in Buck's house in town. They often came out to the pack grounds to run or hunt in the forest or just to socialize.

One thing that Forrest did right was a weekly pack meeting and encouraging get-togethers. Colton continued that tradition, but they got together during the week as well. It wasn't uncommon for nearly everyone to gather in the mess hall nearly every night, unless Trey or Jed had dates.

"How was your date last night?" Colton asked Trey.

"Man. She was hot. I'll just say that we showed each other a good time."

Colton, Jed and Trey chuckled.

Jed stood up straighter and puffed out his chest. "I got Steven on the swim team's mouth cherry last night."

Jed held out his fist and Trey tapped it.

Parker frowned. "That's not cool. I hope you guys don't talk about me like that."

"Yeah, right," Jed snorted. "If anyone so much as spoke your name, we'd get our balls handed to us by this guy." He hooked his thumb towards Colton.

"Don't you forget it," Colton growled playfully, swatting at Jed's head.

The door opened and everyone went silent when Shell walked in, followed by Curtis. Everyone's eyes then turned to Colton.

Colton held out his hand. "Welcome. Come on in."

Parker stepped around Colton and grabbed Shell's hand. "I'm so glad you could come."

Curtis shook Colton's hand. "Curtis. Get some food and get to know everyone. We'll talk later."

Colton mingled with his pack-mates and their guests. It was the best birthday he ever had. He was very proud of Parker. He put on a great party and the food was terrific.

Colton walked up to Curtis and Shell. He put his hand on Curtis's shoulder. "Walk with me."

"Be nice," Shell warned.

Colton shot her a wink then tipped his head for Curtis to follow. The muscular jock nodded and followed Colton out of the mess hall. They strolled along the trail that connected the cabins.

"It's amazing what you've done here," Curtis said after clearing his throat.

"This game you're playing is a very dangerous one."

"I don't know what you mean." Curtis ran his hand over his head, rubbing it across the dark stubble that served as his hair.

"You know exactly what I mean. If they find out you were here, things will not go well for you. Or your mate."

"Shell insisted that we come," Curtis sighed. "She doesn't understand pack dynamics yet." He snorted and shook his head. "Or she doesn't care. But I can't say 'no' to her. Don't tell her, but she's got me wrapped around her finger."

Colton laughed. "Believe me, I understand."

Curtis stopped and turned to face Colton. He dipped his head slightly out of respect then took a deep breath. "Alpha, we wish to petition for membership in Timber Pack."

Colton eyed him for a moment. "You switch loyalties easily."

Curtis lifted his eyes to Colton's. Fire burned in his deep brown eyes, then he dropped his gaze again. "Not at all. But I can't be loyal to someone who doesn't have my back."

Colton smiled. "Why don't you run with us tonight? And then we'll talk."

"My mate hasn't had her first change yet, but I would be honored to run with you."

* * *

When Parker found his and Colton's pile of clothing, he stopped and fell down onto his side. The pack had just spent hours running and hunting and Parker was tired. He rolled around on top of the clothes and began his shift back to his human shape.

The giant, black wolf stalked up to him and straddled his body, bathing Parker with warmth.

Parker reached up and stroked his hands over Colton's furry head. Colton's ears twitched and he rubbed his muzzle over Parker's neck, letting his cold, wet nose trace a trail along his jugular.

Parker began to feel the effects of Colton being near and his body began to respond. "Shift, Colton," he whispered.

Colton's muscles rippled as his body began to reconfigure. Once he finished, he lowered himself on top of Parker.

"Happy birthday, Colton." Parker reached up and stroked his hands over Colton's hair. "I love you."

"I love you, pup." His tongue slid across Parker's lips, pushing its way in between, seeking out Parker's own tongue. He flicked his tongue against the shell of Parker's ear. "I want to try something with you."

"I'll do anything you want, you know that." Parker slid his hands down Colton's body. He grabbed Colton's muscled ass and pressed as he pushed his hips up. "Anything..."

"I want you to trust me. Will you trust me?"

"I do. You know I do."

Colton pulled Parker to his feet. He scooped up their clothes and ran to their cabin.

"Hey! Gimme my clothes," Parker cried.

He covered his privates and chased after Colton, both of them laughing the entire way. Once inside the back door, Colton tossed the clothes onto the floor. He picked Parker up and tossed him onto the bed.

Parker bounced on the mattress, and then he rolled onto his back so that he could see his mate. He loved how big and strong Colton was. He had muscles in all the right places. His eyes traveled down his hairy chest to his sculpted abs to those sexy V-shaped muscles that pointed to his furry crotch. His monster cock was already hard, pointing up towards the ceiling, the hood mostly retracted and exposing the dripping wet head.

The sight made Parker's dick jerk and dribble pre-come onto his stomach. He subconsciously spread his legs and licked his lips.

Colton grabbed the sheet and using his claws, tore off a strip of cotton. He tied one of the ends around Parker's wrist, and looped it around the headboard. He pulled until Parker's arm was over his head and then tied the other wrist.

Parker drew in a breath and held it. Another strip of fabric covered Parker's eyes.

Parker's heart started to race. He couldn't see a thing other than light filtering through the sheet. Having his arms pulled over his head made him feel vulnerable.

Colton's voice was a whisper near his ear. "Let go and feel, pup. I want you to rely on your other senses."

Parker closed his eyes behind the makeshift blindfold and relaxed. He felt the rough pads of Colton's fingers sliding across his body, barely touching. A ghost of Colton's warm breath slid across his neck and down his chest. A warm, wet tongue circled a nipple. The hard nub tightened even further as Colton sucked and licked.

Parker let out a moan and his body trembled.

After moving back and forth between the nipples, Colton's warm lips kissed their way down Parker's chest and stomach. The tip of his tongue flicked across the head of his dick. With a loud groan, Parker pushed his hips upward, needing more contact.

"Please, Colton."

A hand pressed against Parker's belly, pushing him back down onto the mattress. A wet tongue flicked back and forth down the length of Parker's shaft. Parker's body trembled, his breath hitched. He writhed his hips on the bed, wanting to feel Colton's mouth around his dick.

Hot breath drifted across his sack. One at a time, his balls were taken into the warm heaven of Colton's mouth.

Parker felt a scraping around the base of his dick, which moved onto his legs. It was Colton's fingernails raking down Parker's thighs. Those hands then turned and slid under his knees. With a push, Parker found his knees pushed up towards his chest and his hips curved upwards.

Parker braced himself, fisting the sheet restraints around his wrists with an iron grip as Colton's breath warmed his asshole. At the first contact of Colton's tongue, Parker cried out in ecstasy. Parker babbled incoherently as Colton rimmed him. Colton swirled his tongue around, flicked it back and forth, up and down. Then he pointed it and pushed it inside. He slid it in and out, relaxing and loosening the muscled ring in preparation to take that thick monster he had between his legs.

Parker's body bucked and writhed on the bed while Colton's skilled tongue ate him out. He was desperate to grab onto Colton's head, to shove it between his legs and force him to keep going until Parker came all over himself. With his hands tied, he was helpless, completely at Colton's whim.

Colton suddenly moved away.

"Colton? Please don't stop."

Parker felt the bed shift as the bigger man moved over him and straddled his chest. Something hot and spongy brushed across his lips, leaving behind a trail of sweet and slippery liquid. Parker moaned and licked his lips and swiped away that delicious pre-come. He opened his mouth, taking Colton's thick cock head inside.

Colton thrust forward and began to fuck Parker's mouth. Parker sucked in earnest, wanting to pull a hot load from Colton's balls.

Once again Colton moved away. Parker let out a frustrated whimper and tugged at the sheet restraints and squirmed on the bed, trying to find Colton.

"Please," he begged.

The weight of Colton's bigger body settled on top of him, pushing his legs apart with those thick thighs. The hot head of his huge cock prodded underneath his balls, searching for the tight little entrance into Parker's body.

Parker spread his legs wide and pushed his hips up in an open invitation as he locked his legs around Colton's waist.

The tip found its target and began pushing in. Parker felt the crown breech the ringed muscle. He felt every single inch of that slippery cock slide into him. When he felt the furry hardness of Colton's groin against his ass, he knew that his mate was buried all the way inside.

Parker could feel Colton throbbing inside him. He could feel the beat of his heart through their physical connection. Colton's nose hovered over Parker's neck. A deep inhale of breath as it travelled over the mating bite made Parker shudder.

Colton pulled back. Parker was about to protest as the crown popped free, but just as the tip was about to pull out, Colton surged forward. The head pushed into the sensitive gland hidden behind the velvety walls then rubbed across it.

Parker moaned wantonly and arched his back up. His legs locked tighter around Colton and he pressed his heels into Colton's ass.

Parker tugged at his bonds. "Yes."

Colton lowered his body on top of Parker. The feel of that thick hair on his chest and stomach as he moved set Parker's skin on fire.

Colton's arms slid under Parker's body. He held his boy in a tight death grip as his hips rocked back and forth, faster and faster, harder and harder.

Parker smelled Colton. The strong odor of his sweaty armpits assaulted Parker's nose, making him lightheaded. He pushed back into Colton's thrusts, rubbing his sensitive dick against the hard planes of Colton's furry abs.

He could hear and feel Colton's breathing against his neck. Colton's fat cock felt so damn good inside him.

All of his senses were in overload.

Parker was so close. Colton was going to fuck the come right out of him.

Colton's voice was in his ear, deep and rumbling. "Come for me."

Parker's mouth opened, but no sound came out. His body went taut. Colton didn't stop thrusting. One more stab against his prostate and the pressure burst and Parker erupted. With a sob, he released, spurting streams of jizz into the tight space between their bodies.

Colton growled as he ground his teeth against Parker's neck, hard enough to mark but not break the skin. "Gonna fucking come."

Somehow his thrusts became even faster. He slammed into Parker's body hard enough to bruise.

His rhythm faltered and he gasped and cried out, "Parker!"

Parker felt Colton expand inside him as that big cock began jerking with each contraction of his groin muscles, firing jets of semen deep into Parker's body. Parker felt the liquid heat spreading inside his body and seeping out of him.

Parker's body relaxed into the mattress and went completely slack. Colton collapsed with him, crushing him into the bed with his weight. The sounds in the room were drowned out by Colton's harsh breathing, and Parker could feel his chest rising and falling.

Their breathing slowly evened out and Parker began to succumb to sleep.

The weight was lifted off his body. The blindfold was removed and the makeshift restraints followed. Parker's arms fell limp to the mattress.

A ghost of hot air brushed past Parker's lips, whispering the words, "I love you, pup."

After a nice long nap, Parker woke. He rolled over onto his stomach and looked over at his sleepy mate, who was sprawled out on top of the blankets.

Parker scooted close and pressed his lips to Colton's chest. "Colton. It's late. I really do have to go home."

Colton grunted. "You are home."

"You know what I mean," Parker replied as he stroked Colton's chest hair.

Colton took Parker's wrist in his hand and rubbed his thumb across the red mark left there by the sheet. "I want you to move in me."

"Soon, Colton. Just a few more months until graduation."

"I don't want to wait."

"I know you don't."

Parker leaned in and laid his weight against Colton's side. He moved his head closer and the pair shared a slow, lazy kiss.

* * *

Parker stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel from the towel rack. As he dried off, he thought about Colton, wondering what he was doing. He really wanted to be with him, back at their cabin. He already thought of it as "their" cabin. It was only a matter of time before he was living there with Colton.

Already treading on thin ice with his parents, he didn't want to risk their wrath by staying out and spending the night with Colton. Not that they would have noticed. When he got home, he found that his mother was working late at the office and his dad was parked in front of his laptop and was working as well.

He dried between his legs, rubbing the soft terry cloth over his dick. He still wasn't used to his foreskin. He pulled it back as he toweled off, and then pulled it forward, covering the head completely.

Parker smiled at the fading bruises on his hips, where Colton had gripped him tight while he pounded his ass like a beast. They would fade quickly, just like the hickeys and teeth marks all over his neck, collarbones and shoulders. Damn, his man was good at sex. It may have been Colton's birthday, but Parker sure did benefit.

There were other changes in his body that were new as well since he began shifting.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he could see the differences. He had a blond treasure trail from his belly button down to the curls surrounding the base of his dick. His increased metabolism had burned off what little body fat he had. That combined with the effects of shifting also gave him more muscle definition, which was noticeable in his arm and chest muscles if you knew to look.

It was subtle, but he looked less like a boy and more like a grown man. The tribal wolf tattoo on his right arm accentuated that. Not to mention, he was also shaving his face every day now. He had just shaved in the shower and he was smooth as a baby's bottom, just like Colton liked it.

Parker tilted his head to the right and looked at the scar on his neck. The soft curve of his neck was marred by the bite scar, though to Parker it wasn't ugly. It was beautiful, a sign of his bond with Colton.

He wrapped the towel around his waist and opened the bathroom door. When he stepped into his bedroom, he was startled to see his father standing at his desk looking at Parker's cell phone.

Barney quickly tossed Parker's phone onto the desk. He looked Parker up and down, his eyes registering surprise at Parker's body. Then he frowned. "I see you've got a tattoo. You know how your mother and I feel about those."




Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 09



"Yes." Parker turned his back to his dad, and grabbed a shirt from the closet and quickly pulled it on to cover up. He pulled a pair of shorts on underneath the towel then tossed the towel aside.

Parker turned to his dad. As usual, Barney had an aloof calmness about him, but as Parker watched him and really paid attention, he noticed something else. His father wasn't calm. He could actually hear his dad's heart racing and could even see micro-beads of sweat at his hairline. Was his father afraid of him?

"What happened to your neck?"

Parker actually heard his father gulp after he had spoken. Parker tried to keep his face neutral and carefully replied, "It's nothing."

Barney opened his mouth to say something, but his BlackBerry buzzed. He pulled it from his belt holster. After looking at the screen, he quickly left the room.

Parker picked up his phone and sat down on his bed. He couldn't figure out what his dad was looking at. It wasn't like he had anything secret. Then he cringed. He had pictures of Colton. Naked pictures. He let out a breath of relief. He was pretty sure that his dad hadn't looked at his pictures.

He tapped his email app. The last email he had received was open. It was from Jed, the subject was "Pack Pix." It contained pictures from their last run.

The first picture was of a black wolf crawling on top of Parker's human body.

Bile rose in Parker's throat. Crap.

Parker opened his bedroom door. His nose twitched as he scented the air and listened carefully. Stepping on the balls of his feet, he quietly made his way down the hall. His parents' bedroom door was barely cracked open.

He closed his eyes and listened. The sound of his father pacing back and forth on the carpet could be heard underneath his phone conversation.

"It's just like you said," Barney said. His voice was hushed, but he was clearly agitated. "Yes. I saw it... No, I told you. I tried... What do I do now?"

Parker hurried down the stairs, out the patio glass doors and into the back yard. He pulled his phone from his pocket, tapped Colton's name and began pacing as he waited for Colton to answer.

"Hello?"

"Colton."

"Hey, pup. I was just thinking about you—"

"Colton. He knows."

"Who knows what?"

"My dad. He knows."

"Fuck. I'm on my way. Stay in your room. Pack your stuff."

Parker ran back up the stairs and locked his bedroom door. He grabbed his suitcases and stuffed them full of his clothes. After he filled his backpack with his books, he found a box and filled it with his laptop and charger, his iPad, plus the personal items he wanted to bring with him.

When his cell phone rang, he answered the call.

"I'm pulling in," Colton said before Parker could speak.

Parker picked up the two suitcases and hurried down the stairs. He let Colton in and the two of them loaded up Colton's car in two trips.

"What the hell's going on here?" Barney asked as he came down the stairs.

Colton stepped in front of Parker, blocking Barney's view.

Parker moved around Colton. "I'm moving out."

"You're what?"

"Who have you been talking to about us?"

Barney gulped. For a split second, his face betrayed him. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"He's lying," Colton said.

Barney turned his head towards Colton. "You get out of my house." He grabbed a silver letter opener from the table and held it out, brandishing it as a weapon.

Parker snarled and smacked Barney's arm, sending the opener flying. He shoved his father backwards, knocking him onto the floor. He straddled his chest and grabbed the front of his shirt in his fist. Letting his teeth show, he snarled, "You threaten him again and you'll be eating through a straw."

Colton moved around to Barney's head and looked straight down at him. "Who were you talking to?" Colton demanded, using his deep alpha voice.

Barney's eyes widened at the sound of Colton's voice. His body trembled in fear. Parker tightened his grip and Barney sang like a canary. "I-I-I don't know! I have access to Forrest's financials; they asked me to watch the accounts. I found out by accident what Forrest was. Then they asked me to watch Colton. They said he was dangerous. They wanted me to keep you away from Colton, but it was too late."

Colton huffed. "You were asked to spy on us, but you don't even know who you're working for?"

"T-t-they... they offered me a lot of money."

Parker scoffed and stood up. "Of course." He turned back to Colton. "Let's go."

Barney sat up. "But what am I supposed to tell your mother?"

"Make something up. You're apparently damn good at lying."

Parker followed Colton out the front door. He slammed it behind him and didn't look back.

* * *

Colton and Trey walked into the Timber General Store. Colton had decided to include Buck in their discussion of the rogue wolf problem since he had fought off an attack on Stan. He also thought it would help to enforce the idea that Buck was part of the pack, despite the fact that he was a self-confessed loner.

"Hey, Buck," Colton said to the big bear standing behind the counter.

"Hey, guys."

Stan came from the back. The small man grinned at Colton, eager to please. "Hello, Alpha. Can I get you anything? A drink?"

"First, don't call me 'Alpha,' Stan. And I will take some water."

"Of course." Stan grinned as he hurried off. He returned with three bottles of water, handing them to Buck, Colton and Trey, before going to greet a customer who looked like she needed help.

"How's the work on the camp going?" Buck asked.

"We still have a lot to do, but it's coming along."

"I'm available to help with whatever you need. And Stan is as well."

"I'll remember that." Colton glanced around. "Can we talk in back?"

"Sure." Buck called out to Stan, "Cub, we'll be in back."

Stan looked up from the cans he was stocking. "Okay."

Colton and Trey followed Buck into the stock room. The three sat down at a small wooden table.

Buck grabbed the Ziploc bag that was laying on the table and opened it and pulled out a piece of jerky. Colton recognized it as the venison jerky that Jed's family was famous for. Buck offered Colton and Trey the bag. Colton took out a piece and bit into it.

"So what are we gonna do about this fucker?" Buck asked as he gnawed on a piece of dried meat.

"I'm gonna kill him," Colton said matter-of-factly.

"Do you think Parker's dad has anything to do with it?" Trey asked.

"No." Colton filled in Buck on the details of the confrontation with Parker's dad. "I don't know who they are, but I don't think they have anything to do with the attacks."

"It sounds like the kind of bullshit the Lycan Council does behind each others' backs," Buck noted. "Us bears don't have councils or anything like that. We kind of do our own thing. Live and let live."

"We can worry about that some other time." Trey pulled out a small notepad of paper and a pen from his jacket's breast pocket. "Let's figure this out. He's attacked Parker twice. There was Stan, Curtis and TJ, and the maintenance people at the school."

"What do those people have in common?" Buck asked while looking at Trey's writing.

"Nothing," Colton grumbled. "They're all wolves. Well, Parker wasn't a wolf yet the first time he was attacked."

"Neither was the maintenance crew guy," said Trey. He tilted his head to the side in thought. "Hmm. Okay. Where did these attacks take place?"

"Parker was attacked in the woods behind his parents' house then here at the cabin."

Buck added, "And Stan and I were in the woods not far from here, by the river."

Colton nodded. "Curtis and TJ were at the old water tower, and then he was seen under the bleachers at school."

Buck frowned. "I don't get it. What do they have in common?"

"Colton," Trey said. "They all belong to Colton. He's marked all of them as his." Trey looked Colton directly in the eye. "Including Parker."

* * *

Parker closed his laptop and set it on the coffee table. He stretched and stood up. He had finished up his homework and now he was bored.

Colton had gone in town with Trey to stop by the store to talk to Buck and to pick up some groceries.

Parker pulled on his coat and stepped out onto the porch. The ground had a couple of inches of snow, which blanketed everything in a beautiful coat of white. His feet crunched on the snow as he walked down to Jed's cabin.

He knocked on the door and waited but didn't get an answer. After knocking once more, he gave up. Jed wasn't home. His truck was in the parking lot, but apparently he was busy, or maybe he was out patrolling the area.

Parker headed back to his cabin. He stomped his feet on the porch and reached for the front door. He stopped when he saw that it was cracked open.

He sniffed the air but couldn't detect anything out of the ordinary. He was still getting used to his wolf senses and sometimes had trouble differentiating between mingled scents. The one scent he knew and could pick out anywhere was Colton's. Colton's scent was present, but it wasn't recent.

He looked at the ground and noticed wolf paw prints in the snow around the cabin.

Where they there before?

They looked too small to be Jed's tracks. Right?

He carefully opened the door and peeked his head into the cabin. When he saw no one inside, he let out a breath.

"Quit being so paranoid," he muttered to himself. "You big scaredy cat."

As Parker shut the door behind him, he noticed the back door was ajar. He raced to the back door and pushed it shut and locked it. Okay, he was no longer just paranoid. He had crossed over into freaked-the-fuck-out territory.

Heart pounding, he pulled his cell phone from his pocket.

When he turned around, he found himself face-to-face with an unfamiliar man with the silvery-grey eyes of a crazy person. He had never seen the big man before, but those eyes were very familiar to him.

Parker screamed as the rogue's fist connected with the side of his head.

* * *

Colton fidgeted in his seat. He tapped his foot nervously as he stared forward at the faded lines that marked the country road.

Trey glanced at him from behind the wheel. "You okay?"

"I don't know. I'm... It's this weird feeling. We need to hurry home."

Colton pulled out his cell phone and tried to call Parker. No answer. He tried Jed. Again no answer.

"Hurry," he growled. He rubbed his palms up and down his jeans. His fingernails shifted into claws.

Trey pressed his foot on the gas, gunning the engine.

By the time they pulled into the camp's parking lot, they were both feeling it. It was just too quiet.

Colton raced to the cabin and threw open the door.

"Parker!"

The back door was wide open. Snow had accumulated on the door's threshold and the floor. Only embers remained of the fire in the fireplace.

"I'm going to kill that bastard," Colton snarled.

"I can't reach Jed," Trey said. He tossed his phone onto the counter.

Colton began pulling off his clothes and Trey quickly joined him.

The black wolf and the brown wolf bolted through the cabin's back door, following their pack-mate's scent trail.

They didn't have to go very far. The trail led to the last cabin, number 12. The empty cabin was one that was currently uninhabitable because it needed too many repairs.

Colton could smell both Jed and his mate inside.

Colton slammed his body into the back door. It caught on something. He looked to Trey and jerked his head. Both wolves pushed their bodies into the door with a hard shove.

The sight of reddish-brown fur lying in a lump in front of the door sent him into a rage. He gave another shove and then leapt over Jed's prone body.

Jed sounded as though he was having trouble breathing, but he was alive. A big silver knife or dagger was embedded into his back.

Colton couldn't attend to him right now because his concern was at the middle of the empty room, where Parker lay unconscious. The grey wolf stood on top of him, his front paws pressing into Parker's back. His pup's shirt was torn and his pants were ripped, exposing his ass.

Colton growled in rage. He directed a look of pure hatred at the rogue wolf, letting him know that he would be dead before this was over.

Colton and Trey moved apart, ready to attack their enemy. Colton looked at Trey and with a snarl and a head jerk let him know that the fight was Colton's. Trey backed off, moving towards Jed.

Colton shifted back to his human shape. He stepped closer to the wolf standing on his mate. "Shift," he barked. "Let me see you, you fucking coward."

The grey wolf pushed back and began to shift.

Colton's eyes widened in recognition.

* * *

Parker began to stir awake.

His last memories were being dragged kicking and screaming from his home. When Jed tried to stop the rogue, they fought. They crashed into one of the cabins and the man stabbed Jed in the back with some kind of dagger.

Jed was hurt.

He had to help him.

Parker opened his eyes with a groan. Colton was there, standing naked. Fury poured off of him, his body tight, ready to fight.

Jed lay near the door, panting. His eyes were half-open, but they were glazed over. Trey's wolf stood over Jed then shifted back to his human form to attend to his fallen friend.

"Ah fuck!" Trey shouted with a hiss as he pulled a silver dagger from Jed's back. The smell of burning flesh permeated the air as the dagger burned into Trey's palm. Trey tossed the offensive metal blade out the window into the backyard. With the dagger taken care of, Jed could start to heal. Trey shifted back into his wolf form to stand guard over his injured pack-mate.

"Colton," Parker croaked out.

"Stay down, pup," Colton replied without looking at him. His attention was on the rogue. "What are you doing here, Ethan?"

Parker turned his head and looked up at the naked man standing over him. The crazy man had a name.

Ethan.

Who the hell was Ethan?

* * *

Colton stared at the man he hadn't seen in two years. Ethan Braxton. The son of the Santa Fe Pack's former Alpha.

There was something seriously fucked up with him. His skin had a bluish-grey tint to it and the irises of his eyes had a greyish-silver color to them. He didn't smell right.

Ethan was only two years older than Colton, but he looked like he had aged twenty years since he last saw him.

"Why are you doing this?" Colton asked. "You know there's no way I will let you walk away."

"You don't deserve to be an alpha!" Ethan barked. "I was supposed to be Alpha, but you took that away from me! When they found out what you did to me—"

Colton scoffed. "What I did? You were more than willing, Ethan. In fact, you were begging for it. You spread your legs like a bitch for any wolf who came sniffing. I wasn't the only one who fucked you."

"No." An evil smile spread across Ethan's face. "But you're the only one left. They tossed me aside, exiled me. But I made them pay, all of them." He snickered, then he swiped the back of his hand across his mouth. "And now it's your turn."

A wolf could go feral or insane without a pack, but there was something more than that going on here. "What have you done to yourself?"

"Wolfsbane and silver-sulfadiazine injections. It masks your scent."

Colton's eyes widened in shock. "You're fucking crazy. That shit is poison! It's killing you."

"I'm not crazy!" he shouted, spittle flying from his mouth and dripping down his chin. "You took from me and now I'm gonna take from you." He looked down at Parker. His eyes moved back up to Colton and he sneered. "I think I'm gonna make you watch while I fuck your little bitch."

Colton's chest heaved. He let out a snort and he ground his teeth together in an attempt to remain calm. "I already warned you. I told you if you touched him that I would kill you. I plan on keeping my word."

Ethan tried to goad Colton further. "He's got a nice mouth on him. I've seen the two of you. He's real good at taking cock; drops to his knees or bends over like a good little whore whenever you want it. I wonder if he'll scream for me when—"

"Shut your fucking mouth."

"Not before you watch me kill him. And then I'm gonna kill you. And all of this will be mine."

Colton heard a low growl and he let his eyes drop down to Parker. Still lying on the floor, Parker was looking up at Ethan. And he was pissed. He snarled, showing off his canines. His eyes flashed amber and his body jerked as he started to shift.

Ethan kicked at the white wolf, who was still tangled up in his clothes. Parker still managed to latch onto Ethan's ankle with his sharp teeth. Ethan howled and kicked his leg in an attempt to loosen Parker as his own body began its transformation.

The distraction was enough for Colton to shift into his half-wolf shape.

Colton let loose a roar that echoed off the cabin's walls and rattled the windows.

Before Ethan could completely shift and attack Parker, Trey's wolf grabbed Parker by the scruff of his neck and dragged him over to Jed. Jed lumbered up onto all fours and blocked Parker with his massive body. He bared his teeth, daring the rogue to come at his charge.

Trey stalked back and forth in front of his two pack-mates, making sure the fight would be only between Colton and Ethan.

This would be a fight to the death.

Ethan snarled in anger and lunged at Colton. Colton's clawed hand batted him away, slamming the grey wolf into the cabin wall. The entire wall shuddered, sending dust into the air.

Colton advanced on Ethan, picking him up and throwing him against the fireplace. He landed with a sickening crack, but it still didn't stop him. Ethan rolled over and lunged at Colton. He managed to get his teeth into Colton's leg, but Colton's fists knocked him free.

With a roar, Colton punched the grey wolf, then he used the claws on his left hand to slice across his belly. Colton attacked again. He latched onto the grey wolf's throat with his powerful jaws and tore.

Ethan let out a breathy whine and slumped to the floor.

Colton reached down and gripped Ethan's head. With a sharp twist of Colton's clawed hands, his neck snapped with a sickening crunch. A final breath escaped the grey wolf and it went still.

Colton threw his head back and howled triumphantly, the sound echoing throughout the forest.

* * *

Parker shifted back into his human shape and jumped over Jed's wolf. He ran straight to Colton and jumped into the arms of the furry Alpha beast. Colton shifted back and ravaged Parker with kisses. He nibbled and sucked the base of Parker's neck, leaving a fresh hickey and teeth marks on his mating scar.

"Are you okay?" Colton asked as he ran his hands all over Parker, looking for any cuts or bruises.

"I'm fine. He hit me on the head," Parker said as he rubbed his temple. "But you got here before he could really hurt me. Is your leg okay?"

"It'll be fine. Did he... touch you?"

Parker shook his head, knowing what Colton was really asking him. "No."

Colton leaned down and kissed Parker. "I was so worried about you. Don't ever put me through that again."

"I'm fine too, by the way," Jed's gruff voice interrupted.

Parker and Colton turned to see Trey holding up Jed, who was struggling to stand. Parker ran over and grabbed Jed's other side and helped to stabilize him.

Colton frowned at seeing his naked mate touching his naked enforcer.

"Stop growling, Colton," Parker said. "Jed's hurt. He's not trying to hump me."

"Trey, send for the doctor. He can give Jed something to counteract the silver poisoning from the knife." Colton reached out and squeezed Jed's shoulder. "Thank you for protecting my mate."

Jed nodded once at Colton.

Colton looked at Parker and frowned. "And for fuck's sake, everyone put some clothes on."

He pulled Parker away from Jed. The smell of another on his mate smacked him in the face. "You smell like that dead fucker." A growl built in his chest. "I need to claim you again."




Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 09



"You mean...?" Parker took a quick peek at Colton's crotch, then glanced at the others. "Now?" he whispered.

"Yes."

Colton grabbed Parker and threw him over his shoulder. Before he stormed out of the cabin with his mate, he glanced back at Trey over his shoulder. "Call the Sheriff and have him get rid of that mess."

"Yes, Alpha," was Trey's reply.

* * *

"I'm going to fuck you."

"Yes. Fuck me," Parker begged. He tugged at his wrists, which were pinned to the bed, firmly captured by Colton's hands. He arched his back up, wanting more contact with his wolf.

Colton thrust his hips forward, sinking his slick cock deep into Parker's body.

"Yes," Parker moaned as he writhed underneath his mate.

Colton jackhammered into Parker's body. Their bodies loudly slapped together, the sound echoing through the room. The bed shook and thumped against the wall.

Colton was wild. His beast was just below the surface, wanting to push through. The musky scent of Colton's body hit Parker's senses.

"Oh god," Parker cried. His canine teeth pushed through his gums. He felt his eyes shift and his vision sharpened. Parker's body trembled as Colton's thick cock pushed him closer and closer to coming.

Colton looked down at Parker, noticing the signs of Parker's arousal and the loss of control of his eyes and teeth. A growl built into his chest. His own fangs burst through his gums. He snarled and a string of drool dripped from the sharp teeth and splattered on Parker's chin.

Parker was so close. He stared up into Colton's glowing eyes and recognized what Colton needed. "Shift, Colton. Take me like only an Alpha can. Claim me. Make me yours. Make me come."

A growl built in Colton's chest. His body jerked and his muscles began to stretch. Hair erupted from his skin to cover his entire body. He grew bigger and taller, taking on the half-man/half-beast shape that was unique to his Alpha status. His cock grew in girth and length and continued to relentlessly slam against Parker's sensitive prostate gland as he took Parker like the beast that he was.

The alpha's voice was deep and guttural. "You are mine."

"Yes, yours." Parker tilted his head to the side in submission.

Then Colton struck. His teeth latched onto the sensitive bite scar, piercing the skin. He began to suck, drawing the sweet precious blood into his mouth.

It was too much. Parker screamed as his orgasm hit him like a freight train. His dick jerked, spewing ribbons of hot juices all over their bodies. His ass clamped around Colton's girth and began to milk it.

With a howl, Colton thrust forward and arched his body back, releasing his load like a geyser, pumping an inhuman amount of come into Parker's body.

Colton slumped on top of Parker and practically passed out. His exhausted body slowly shifted back into his human form as he drifted to sleep, still buried inside Parker.

Parker tenderly caressed and soothed his mate, whispering tender words of love until he too fell asleep.

* * *

Colton ended the call on his phone. He swung his legs out of the bed and picked up his clothes to get dressed.

"They're here?" Parker's sleepy voice asked from underneath a mound of blankets.

"Yeah." Colton reached out and brushed the hair from Parker's forehead. "You can stay in bed if you want."

"No. I wanna come. I'll be okay."

With a moan Parker crawled from under the blankets and grabbed his clothes. His neck was freshly bruised and he had a trail of dried spunk between his legs. Colton smiled smugly. Everyone would know that Parker had been re-claimed.

Parker Montgomery belonged to him.

"Don't cover your neck," Colton said.

Parker shot Colton a look. "Really? Don't be such a caveman. They all know I'm yours."

Colton pulled on his boots and stepped out of the cabin with Parker right behind, bundled in his winter coat.

Scar covered.

Stupid coat.

Sheriff Forrest stood near his department issued SUV, looking around at the campground. Carlton Butler and John Stone — his father and Jed's father — stood with their Alpha, flanking him in a familiar protective stance. The lycan doctor, along with two deputies, all members of the Forest View Pack, followed behind.

"Forrest," Colton greeted the other pack alpha. "Good to see you." He turned to the others and nodded his head. "Dad, John, Doc. This way."

The Forest View Pack followed Colton and Parker to the last cabin where Jed and Trey were waiting on the porch.

"Hi, Dad," Jed said and gave his father a weak smile.

"You okay, son?" John asked quietly as he looked over his boy's bruised face. He stroked a thumb underneath one of his bloodshot eyes.

"I'm fine, Dad."

Jed's breathing had settled, but he looked exhausted.

"He protected my mate," Colton said to John.

John patted Jed's cheek and smiled proudly. "You did good." He stayed with Jed, watching over him, while the doc proceeded to check him out.

Forrest and the others followed Colton into the cabin.

"That's him," Colton said with disgust, nodding his head towards the body on the floor.

Ethan lay nude on the floor in his human shape, his muscular body tinged an eerie blue color, with his neck twisted at an impossible degree.

"Did you have to kill him?" Forrest asked. "He should have been brought before the Council."

"He threatened my mate and my pack. You weren't in any rush to do anything about it, so I took care of it."

Forrest glared at Colton. Colton didn't care. He wasn't going to pussy-foot around and coddle the older man's feelings.

Carlton pushed the body with his boot, turning it so that he could see the face. "Ethan Braxton," he said with surprise. "He's the rogue? What the hell was he doing up here?" he asked in an attempt to cut the tension that was forming between the two alphas.

Colton reluctantly turned his gaze from Forrest to his father. "He killed everyone he blamed for his father's death, for losing his pack. I was apparently last on his list. He wanted what was mine."

"I kinda feel sorry for him," Parker said quietly. "He was clearly sick. He didn't have a pack."

Colton reached out and rubbed the back of Parker's neck. Parker let out a quiet sigh and moved closer to Colton. The wolf had tried to kill Parker again and again and still his pup felt sympathy for him.

Damn, he loved the hell out of his pup.

After the deputies took care of the body and scrubbed and cataloged the "crime scene" for the Council investigators, Colton walked with Forrest back towards the Sheriff's SUV. Their pack representatives followed behind them at a distance.

"You should know that two of your pack members have petitioned. I plan to accept them into Timber Pack."

Forrest ground his teeth and growled in his chest. "I'll let you have those two, but any more defections and you and I are going to have a problem."

"I didn't come to them. If people are looking to leave your pack, then that's your problem, not mine." Colton slapped his hand twice on the hood of the Sheriff's SUV. "Thanks for coming out," he said with a smile that was just a tad condescending, but it was time for the Forest View Pack to leave his land.

Forrest's lip turned up in a snarl and he spun on his boot heels and got into his vehicle.

Colton stood with his arms folded across his chest and Parker at his side. Jed and Trey took their positions and the Timber Pack stood ground proudly on their territory, patiently waiting until their guests left.

* * *

A week later, the pack gathered around the camp's main firepit. The moon, full and bright, began its rise into the sky, signaling the start of the ceremony.

Parker, Trey, Jed, Buck and Stan stood behind Colton.

Curtis and Shell stood before Colton. To Parker's eyes, Shell seemed perfectly calm. During his first change, he was a mess. In fact, he was already feeling the moon's effect on his body. He didn't know how she did it.

"Tonight we welcome a new brother and a new sister into our pack. Do you pledge your loyalty to Timber Pack?"

"Yes, Alpha," Curtis and Shell replied together.

Colton looked back to the Timber Pack. "Do you accept their pledge?"

"Yes, Alpha," the group replied.

Colton grasped the back of Curtis's neck, urging Curtis to tip his head to the side. Colton scraped the sharp claw of his thumb down the side of his neck, drawing a drop of blood. Colton leaned forward and sniffed, then he repeated the same with Shell.

"Welcome to Timber Pack, my brother, my sister," Colton said.

After handshakes and hugs all around, the entire group turned to Shell.

"How do you feel, babe?" Curtis asked.

"I'm a little queasy and a little nervous, but I'm fine. I feel great, actually."

Parker looked up into the sky and his body shuddered. "I feel it. I have to shift." He turned to Shell. His voice trembled as he fought for control. "Don't you feel it?" he asked as he rubbed his arms and stared at the moon.

"I guess."

"You guess? How can you— Oh god." Parker began to tear off his clothes. "I can't stop it."

Knowing that Parker didn't have control yet during full moons, Colton encouraged his mate to shift so that he wouldn't hurt himself. "Go ahead, pup. Don't fight it."

Shell turned to Curtis, her eyes widened in panic. "Is there something wrong with me? Why aren't I shifting too?"

Curtis took Shell into his arms. "There's nothing wrong with you, babe." He stroked her back as she leaned her head on his shoulder.

Parker dropped to a crouch as the moon's pull took the last of his control. His body transformed, the white wolf pushing free. Once he finished shifting, he walked over to Colton. He nosed Colton's hand, wanting the contact of his mate. Colton pushed his fingers into Parker's white fur, rubbing and scratching him.

A knowing smile spread across Colton's face as he looked at Shell. "When was your last period?"

Shell put a hand on her hip. "Excuse me, no you didn't!"

"Your body won't shift if you're pregnant."

The entire pack gasped. Parker let out a surprised woof.

"Oh shit," mumbled Curtis as he dropped to the ground and then passed out.

* * *

FIVE MONTHS LATER

Parker looked up as Colton stepped into the room. His heart actually skipped a beat. He had never seen Colton look more handsome than he did right now.

Like Parker, he wore a black tuxedo with a dark forest green cummerbund and bowtie. His thick, black hair was styled perfectly. He had shaved and trimmed his goatee and mustache with precision.

Colton stood motionless, staring back at Parker. "Christ. You look fucking fantastic, pup."

"I was just going to say the same about you." Parker walked up to Colton. He brushed a piece of lint off Colton's shoulder. He looked up at his mate. "You're so handsome. I love you."

"I love you, too. Are you ready then?"

Parker nodded. "Yeah... You sure you wanna do this?"

"Of course. Don't you?"

"Yes."

Parker took the offered hand and followed Colton out of the cabin. They walked together to the common building.

Jed sat alone at the dining room table eating a plate of leftovers. He looked up when the pair entered the room.

"Wow. Look at the two of you."

Parker walked over to Jed and put a hand on his shoulder. "You sure you don't want to come?" he asked.

"I am not going to the prom by myself."

Parker felt bad for Jed. He had tried to get a couple of the guys he had been hooking up with to go, but none of them were brave enough to be seen with another guy.

Jed waved his hand at Parker. "Wipe that sad look off your face. Buck and Stan are coming over. We're gonna hang out. Maybe go for a run and do some hunting."

"Parker!" Shell called out, her voice loud and shrill.

Parker turned to see Shell shove the door open and walk into the mess hall with Curtis hot on her tail, holding up the hem of her dress.

Parker gasped. Shell was beautiful in a cobalt blue floor-length dress. Her hair was swept up in an up-do with a blue ribbon wound through it. Her make-up was stunning.

Curtis looked handsome as well in his black tux with a cummerbund and bow tie that matched Shell's dress. The two of them standing together made the perfect couple.

"Why aren't you answering your phone?" she demanded, hands on her hips, which accentuated her baby bump. Not that Parker would tell her that. He wanted to keep his balls where they were.

Parker felt his pockets. He pulled it out of his jacket pocket and looked at the screen. "Oh. I didn't feel it vibrate. Sorry."

"Okay, girl. I need you to keep it real. I look like I'm smuggling a Thanksgiving turkey all up and through, don't I?" she asked as she waved her hand over her stomach.

Curtis put his arm around her. "Babe, I told you, you look beautiful."

She shoved his arm away and pointed her index finger in his face. "This is all your fault." Her voice took on a mocking tone as she mimicked Curtis's voice. "'We don't need a condom. Just the tip, just this one time, babe.'"

Parker pressed his lips together and tried not to laugh. Jed wasn't as successful and Shell shot him a glare that could kill.

Parker actually managed to not laugh and to speak with a straight face. "Shell, you look gorgeous, bump or not."

"Yeah?"

Parker nodded. "Yeah."

Curtis put his arm around Shell's shoulder. "See, babe, I told you."

Shell turned and glared at Curtis, but the adoring look in his eyes melted her anger. He tipped his head down and kissed her tenderly.

Parker turned away to give them a little privacy.

Trey walked in. He hitched his thumb over his shoulder. "I'm heading out to pick up my date. I'll see you all there."

"Wait," Jed called out. "Let me get some pictures."

Jed pulled out his phone and snapped a bunch of pictures of the couples as well as a few group shots.

Parker used his phone and took one of Jed, Trey and Colton, the original trio.

As they all left the mess hall, Parker looked back and saw Jed sitting at the table picking at his food while staring off into space. He couldn't recall ever seeing Jed look lonely before and the sight almost broke his heart.

"He'll be fine," Colton whispered in his ear as he rubbed the nape of Parker's neck with his thumb.

When they walked into the gym together, Parker was so nervous he couldn't even really take in the decorations. The gym was decorated in an "enchanted forest" theme that bordered on tacky.

Colton grabbed Parker's hand and pulled him close. "You're not ashamed to be seen with me, are you?" he joked.

"Of course not." Parker hadn't even realized that he had been avoiding touching Colton.

When he felt Colton growling, he looked around and saw the source of his annoyance. Seth and Kim were glaring at both of them with distaste.

Parker decided then that if he was going to have a good time, he was going to have to ignore all of the haters and the rival pack members. He gave Colton's hand a squeeze and led him towards the refreshments table.

And they did have a good time. Their pack stayed together most of the night, Colton and Parker, Shell and Curtis, Trey and his date.

Somehow Seth managed to win prom king and Kim was his queen, but Parker didn't really care. Of course he felt that Colton should have been the king.

Colton wanted one last slow dance with Parker before they left. Slowly they moved together to the ballad's rhythm, Parker in Colton's arms and Colton's head resting on top of Parker's.

"Do you think things will change after graduation?" Parker asked.

"Probably."

"Do you think everyone will stay together?"

Colton took a moment and then spoke. "I think everyone will be busy doing their own thing, but the pack will always stay together. Trey will leave for school, but he will be back."

Parker took a deep breath. "You guys are like my family."

Colton's arms tightened around Parker. "We'll always be there for you and for each other. Don't ever forget that."

As they moved, one of Colton's hands slid down Parker's back and rested on the top of Parker's ass. Parker felt something move against his stomach. Colton's cock grew bigger and harder and Colton began to grind it into Parker, moving in rhythm with the music.

"You wanna get out of here?" Parker asked.

The pair said a quick goodbye to their friends and hurried out of the gym to Colton's car.

When Colton passed their turn, Parker turned his head and looked out the window, trying to figure out where they were going.

Colton turned onto the two-track gravel road that led up to the old water tower. He parked his car and grabbed Parker and pulled him close. He grabbed Parker by the back of the neck and held him tight as he kissed him hard.

"Let's get in the back."

Parker crawled over the seat into the back seat. He shrugged off his tux jacket and laid back against the seat and let Colton settle on top of him.

Colton stared down at him as he stroked his fingers through Parker's hair. The level of emotion in Colton's coal-black eyes took Parker's breath away.

"This is kinda like our first time," whispered Parker.

Colton smiled. "Show me your belly, pup."

Colton aggressively kissed Parker while Parker ditched the cummerbund and untucked his shirt. Colton pushed his hands away and undid his pants. His hand slipped inside and wrapped around Parker's shaft. He stroked his hand up and down the silky smooth skin.

Parker moaned against Colton's mouth. Colton broke the kiss and kissed his way down Parker's neck. He flicked his tongue against Parker's ear. "You want me to suck you?"

"Oh god, please, Colt."

Parker's hands slid into Colton's hair. He gave his mate's head a little push and Colton slid down. Parker moaned unabashedly as his dick was surrounded by the wet heat of Colton's mouth.

Up and down Colton slid while sucking gently, just the way Parker liked it. Parker writhed on the seat as Colton expertly worked him. When a finger slid between Parker's crack and pushed inside, Parker lost it.

Parker's hand gripped Colton's hair in a fist. "I'm gonna come."

He grunted and bucked on the leather seat as he came in Colton's mouth. His hand loosened and fell from Colton's head as he slumped boneless against the seat.

Colton moved on top of him and kissed him. Parker tasted his load on Colton's tongue. He reached between their bodies and freed Colton's cock. He tugged at the hot shaft.

Colton grabbed Parker's wrist and stilled it. "Save it. I wanna take you home and make love to you."

"Oh. So you're saying you don't have the stamina to go more than one round?"

Colton's eyes flashed amber. He pushed Parker back and they shifted positions so that Colton could straddle Parker's face. He pushed his cock between Parker's lips, forcing it open. He thrust his hips hard and fast. The head of his cock pushed against Parker's throat while his heavy balls slapped Parker's chin.

Parker was able to suppress his gag reflex as he took Colton deeper than he ever had before.

"Gonna fucking come," Colton grunted between gritted teeth. He grunted rhythmically as his cock spurted over and over into Parker's hot sucking mouth.

Colton slumped back against the opposite door and tried to catch his breath.

Parker smiled. "Now, you were saying something about making love to me when we got home?"

He laughed as Colton scrambled over the seat and started the car.

ONE MONTH LATER

Parker woke and looked over at the clock on his nightstand. It was just after midnight. Even though he hated leaving the warmth of their bed, he needed to pee. He slid from underneath Colton's arm and got up and used the bathroom.

After he washed his hands, he decided that he was hungry. He went to the kitchen and opened the small fridge. Nothing caught his eye. Knowing that the kitchen in the common building was stocked, he decided to run over there.

"Colton," he whispered. "I'm gonna go to the mess hall and make us some sandwiches."




Timber Pack Chronicles Ch. 09



Colton grunted. "'Kay."

Parker gave Colton a peck on the lips and gave the fur in the middle of his chest a quick rub. He pulled on a t-shirt and shorts, slid into a pair of flip-flops and quietly left the cabin.

As he stood at the big stove making grilled cheese sandwiches on the griddle plate, he thought back on the past few months and smiled.

They had graduated from high school two weeks ago. Everyone was now living in the cabins, except for Buck and Stan. They still lived in town.

The graduation ceremony was the first time Parker had seen his father since moving out. After the ceremony, Parker gave both of his parents a hug and his mother slipped him a card in an envelope, no doubt filled with cash. Parker had told her that he was happy and she seemed to be happy for him. His father had trouble looking him in the eye.

It was Saturday night and everyone was off doing their own thing. That seemed to be happening a lot lately. It was inevitable, Parker supposed. They were adults now, on their own, making their own way.

"Hey," Colton muttered as he shuffled into the kitchen. He was wearing only a pair of low-slung sweatpants, which accentuated his nice package. His hairy chest was on display, showing off the hard muscles of his pecs and abs. The thick head of hair was poking up all over the place and he needed a shave something fierce.

He was perfection.

Colton leaned down and gave Parker a kiss, then looked down at the griddle. "Smells good. My favorite."

The outside door opened and Parker and Colton leaned through the window that peeked out into the dining hall.

"Boy, quit fussing over me," Shell groused as Curtis helped her sit down at the table.

She was undeniably pregnant now. Parker now knew what they meant by a pregnant glow. Even though her hair was kind of a mess right now, Shell was beautiful.

Curtis was wearing only a pair of shorts, openly displaying a smooth, mocha-colored body. The hunky stud bent over and kissed the top of Shell's head before he walked into the kitchen.

"Ice cream craving," he said with a smile as he opened the freezer.

"You want some sandwiches?" Parker asked, pointing towards the grilled cheese with his spatula.

"Yeah, I'd love some."

Curtis scooped a hefty helping of cookies and cream into a bowl and brought it out to Shell. He sat down next to her and the two of them snuggled close while Shell ate.

"It's going to be weird having a baby around here in just a couple of months," Parker said to Colton.

"Pups are good for the pack. They strengthen the bonds between the pack-mates."

Parker buttered bread slices and set them on the grill. He placed the cheese and then topped them with another slice of bread. "Do you want pups some day?"

"I would love to raise kids with you some day. We could adopt an orphaned shifter or use a surrogate. In the meantime we'll just keep trying naturally." Colton slipped his hand down the back of Parker's shorts, his finger seeking Parker's ass.

Parker squirmed away and swatted at Colton with the spatula. "Go sit down."

Parker handed Colton a stack of plates and a platter of sandwiches. Colton went into the dining room and sat down with Shell and Curtis.

A loud bark of laughter signaled the arrival of Jed.

Jed walked into the kitchen. "Hey, little dude," he said to Parker as he grabbed a soda from the fridge.

"I'm making sandwiches if you want one."

"God, I'd love one. Or two."

"Or four."

Jed snickered and patted his hard belly. "You know me too well."

Jed pulled open the fridge and grabbed a jar of pickles and a bowl of potato salad. He juggled those with some plates and returned to the dining room.

Parker grabbed a couple of bags of chips and carried a big platter of sandwiches into the dining room and sat down with his pack-mates.

The outer door opened and everyone turned to see Buck and Stan stumble through the door.

Stan's face went red and he quickly buttoned up his shirt. He yanked up the shirt collar in a futile effort to hide the multitude of hickeys and teeth impressions on his neck and collar. His hair was messed up and sticking up all over, and there was a leaf and a twig poking out of it. Everything about Stan screamed that he had just been fucked to within an inch of his life.

With a smug grin on his face, Buck chuckled as he pulled a t-shirt on over his bulky, hirsute frame.

"We, uh, went for a, uh, run," Stan said, his gaze nervously bouncing around the room. "Uh, we didn't think anyone would be up."

"A run, huh?" Colton asked.

"Yes, Alpha," Stan mumbled. He ran his hand across his hair and snagged the leaf. He dropped it on the floor and the blush traveled up his ears and down his neck.

"C'mon, cub," Buck prodded. "Let's grab some grub."

"There's plenty here," Parker said. "Come sit."

The two of them sat down at the table and dug in.

"Hey, you're all here," Trey said as he walked in. He sat down at the table and grabbed a sandwich.

"You're back early from your date," Jed said with his mouth full of chips.

"Yeah, it was kind of a bust."

Jed frowned. "Hm. I wouldn't know. I don't really do busts."

"That was really lame, man."

"Sorry. I'm operating on low fuel."

Everyone chuckled at Jed and Trey's conversation.

Parker looked around the table.

Curtis was snuggled against Shell, one hand resting on the swell of her abdomen, while the other fed her ice cream.

Jed and Trey continued their back and forth of bad puns, pushing each other with their shoulders.

Stan doted over Buck, getting his big mate another sandwich and cutting it on a diagonal, then brushing the crumbs off the front of the bear's shirt.

Parker finally looked at Colton, who had been watching him.

Colton took Parker's hand and gave the back of it a kiss, then leaned down and kissed Parker on the lips.

"I love you, pup."

Parker realized that he would never be alone again. He had his mate and his pack-mates and their bond was stronger than any family could ever hope to be. This was the life that he wanted. One where he mattered, where he made a difference.

This was just the beginning of a life-long journey with Colton, who started out as a crush and ended up his soul-mate and the love of his life.

Long live the Timber Pack.
