Vampire Residence
"Do you have a minute, dear?" Katherine looked up from her crochet when she sensed Viago was near.
Viago popped into the room and sat down next to her. "For you? Always. I haven't noticed you around lately. You've made some new friends, ja?"
"I have met some nice people, yes. They've been showing me a wonderful time, which is why I wanted to talk." Katherine smiled, "as you know, I married young. My mortal life was spent with one man and I wouldn't trade that for anything. But lately I've realized I might want more than an eternity of quiet monogamy."
Katherine patted Viago's hand, "I do love you, Viago. I always will. You were my first love, my maker, but I want to try new things - experience the freedom of being a vampire. You can understand that, can't you?"
Viago nodded, "of course I understand. You are young and curious. I cannot blame you for that. I'm sorry I'm not as open as most vampires - you wouldn't believe how much hassle I get about it. Can I confess a secret?" His eyes darted around as if the walls were listening.
Katherine smiled, "it won't go any further than me."
"I've always imagined a single love. Most of our kind find that to be quite the scandal. I seem to relate strongly to wolves in that regard, I suppose."
"Any wolf in particular that you fancy?" Katherine asked with another smile. Of course she knew the answer already.
A small giggle fell from Viago before clearing his throat, "we are just friends." He and the Alpha had become close over the last few months. Anton had admired his chore wheel and had implemented it for the wolves. Meanwhile, Viago had been taking lessons from the Alpha on how to be more assertive. Their relationship had blossomed from there.
"Of course you are, dear. That's how the greatest loves always begin," she smiled sweetly at her maker.
Viago seemed to think about it for a moment before changing the subject. "And of course you're always welcome to stay here as long as you wish. I'm sure Vladislov will be more than happy to introduce you to some of his acquaintances."
Katherine smiled again before standing up. "Always a gentleman, thank you, Viago. I think I'll go see if I can find him before I need to leave for bingo. If Marcella gets here, would you mind entertaining her?"
"Of course. She's a very nice lady."
Viago smiled and waved goodbye as the ladies left for bingo not long after.
Once out of sight, Viago brought out his phone and texted Anton. He knew it was time for him to accept the feelings he had for the wolf. It had simply felt inappropriate before. If he was being completely honest, Katherine's own confession had left him feeling relieved.
Viago waited a few minutes for a reply before he transformed into a bat and flew towards the park. Perhaps a change of scenery would ease his butterflies.
The Phone call
Caroline and Anton had married young - too young. Over the years they both changed. The initial sweet eventually turned sour. After Anton was infected with the wolf their relationship settled into bitter resentment.
They had been separated for months now. Anton hadn't wanted to accept the inevitable: it wasn't working. Marriage counseling hadn't helped and Caroline had finally convinced him to bring in a lawyer.
With a small sigh, Anton opened his phone and dialed his soon-to-be ex-wife.
"Hello?"
"Cari, it's Anton." He could hear the clink of glass in the background, something (most likely wine if he knew Caroline) being poured.
"I know."
Anton wasn't sure what he expected. He waited in case she was going to say more, hearing another voice in the background. Clearing his throat he tried not to think about it, "I just wanted to remind you about the appointment tomorrow afternoon with the lawyer."
"I remember, thanks. It really is what's best. We can finally get on with our lives."
"It doesn't make it any easier."
A heavy silence stretched before Caroline replied. Her voice was tight when she spoke, "run into the arms of that European you're so fond of. I'm sure he'll help make it a lot easier for you."
It was like a slap across his face. "I've never been unfaithful to you. Why would you say that?"
"Because it's true. Go on, it's fine, monsters should be with other monsters." Cari sighed, "was there something else?"
"No. Nothing else. Enjoy your evening." Anton sat his phone down and sighed. His mind wandered to one of their many fights:
"When we got married I vowed for better or worse but I had no idea that would mean this! I'm allergic to dogs and now I'm married to one-"
"All right I'm going to stop you right there. I'm not a dog and it hurts when you compare me to one. I didn't choose this to happen."
"And I didn't either! You're never around anymore. What am I supposed to do, just sit here in the dark while you're out humping the postman?"
Anton growled, "dammit Cari, stop comparing me to a dog!"
"Or what? You'll bite me?" She poured herself some more wine, drinking nearly the whole glass.
"And that's another thing I want to talk about. You've been drinking heavily the last couple months. It's not good for you."
Cari scoffed and emptied the bottle into her glass. "I'm unhappy, Anton! Isn't it obvious? You're always with the pack, sometimes for days! I'm not going to just sit there and twiddle my thumbs pining for you."
His phone buzzed, bringing him back to the present. Checking the message, a smile spread across his face. It was Viago.
Going 2 park meet me?
Anton replied, already standing to change:
be there soon
The Park
Viago stumbled as he landed and straightened his clothes. It was quiet, save for someone in the distance. The wind rustled through the trees, carrying with it a smell of werewolf.
He walked toward the wolf, the scent becoming stronger. Of course there was the dog smell but beneath that was cedar and bergamot. Viago grinned, fangs poking against his bottom lip.
"Hello, Anton!" Viago waved as he approached.
Anton's eyes shimmered in the moonlight, "hey, Vi."
The vampire noticed how tense he was. "It's a lovely night for a stroll, ja?"
Anton nodded and hummed his agreement. Normally a walk was just the thing to get him out of his own head.
"Forgive me for prying but are you okay?"
"Yep. Great." Anton shoved his hands in the pockets of his jumper, "just fucking great…" he sighed, looking toward the stars.
"Swearwolf!" Viago teased and stepped closer, "talking about it might help."
Another sigh, "you don't want to hear about it, mate. It's not important."
"Nein, it is important. You are clearly upset and as your friend I would like to help." Viago sat down on the nearest park bench and patted the seat next to him, "sit and tell me."
Anton hesitated for a moment before joining him. "Just divorce stuff. Wolves mate for life and I think that's why I've been trying so hard. At the end of the day though, it doesn't really matter. We've both said things to hurt each other and I can't help but replay the arguments in my head. I get stuck repeating monsterover and over. I guess I'm just feeling a lot of things. Babbling a bit."
Viago looked at him with sadness and understanding. "I am so sorry. Being called names is painful, but even more so when those names come from your lover."
Anton scoffed, "don't think that's quite the proper term. Ever since I was infected with this our love life has been non-existent. To be honest it wasn't much before that either. Our marriage was on its way out before I got bit. But then I became Alpha and I thought I was setting a good example by staying together. It sounds idiotic now that I hear it out loud."
Viago nodded before saying, "I understand, Wolf. I spent a lifetime in love with a woman from afar, imagining everything that could have been." He slumped back with a sigh, "now we have eternity only to find out we're incompatible."
Anton looked at Vi and felt guilty for running on as long as he had, "I'm sorry, mate."
Viago shrugged, "honestly I felt almost relieved when she brought it up tonight. We had a great time but there always seemed to be something missing." Viago smiled at Anton, "besides, I have to admit that I'm rather unconventional for a vampire. Her decision wasn't that surprising."
"Oh? How's that?" The wolf turned toward Viago, throwing an arm across the back of the bench.
"I desire only one love. Typically, vampires are all about orgies and all that. Not me. I can't expect Katherine to want what I want. She spent her human life married to one man. She said now is her time to find herself."
"We're just a couple of love's losers, eh?" Anton smiled at the vampire.
"So it would seem."
"It's nice having someone to talk to about this."
Viago grinned, "I couldn't agree more. Thank you for trusting me enough to talk about it. And you are not a monster." He said the last with complete certainty.
Anton was quiet for a moment before taking a deep breath in, preparing himself. "If I'm being honest with myself -and you- I trust you more than anyone else in my life." Anton's pulse quickened with the confession. He'd already unpacked those feelings and come to terms with them. Still, voicing it was nerve-wracking. "I've become very fond of you, Vi."
"I hope you know that it is mutual. Whoever said vampire and werewolf couldn't coexist clearly had never known someone as wonderful as you."
Anton's face was red and he couldn't help the bashful grin. "You don't have to lay it on that thick, Vi. But thanks, I appreciate it."
"Are you blushing?" Viago's face lit up, "look at that! I made the big bad wolf blush." He teased lightly.
"Careful or this wolf might just prove how bad he can be." Anton teased with a growl.
Viago giggled, "are you trying to threaten me? A vampire? Not very wise."
The wolf laughed. "As if I could ever harm you." He stared into Viago's beautiful eyes, awed by the galaxies swimming in his warm gaze.
It was true, he did admire the vampire. But were those feelings reciprocated? Only one way to find out, he supposed. His fingers trembled as he rested them against Viago's knee, squeezing.
Viago swallowed the hiss back down. Anton's hand felt hot and glorious. His eyes met the wolf's, "even if I asked you to?" Vi's tone had changed, softer and suggestive. His gaze never left Anton's, eyebrow arching.
"If you asked nicely enough." Anton flirted, eyes drifting to Viago's lips.
Long, slender fingers reached up and traced along Anton's brow and down his cheek to cup his jaw. "You're beautiful beneath the moonlight," the vampire drifted closer until their lips touched in a gentle kiss.
Anton's heart melted from the tenderness. He pressed closer. A tiny moan fell from him as he opened his mouth for more of Viago. The vampire cupped the back of Anton's head, welcoming the wolf's tongue.
God, Anton wanted more. One arm wrapped around Vi's shoulders, fingers finding their way into his hair. Anton's other hand was still on Vi's knee, traveling higher. His nerves were on fire as he broke the kiss, "you're beautiful in the moonlight too, Vi." Anton's voice was rough from arousal.
Viago grinned, his fangs peeking out, "aww thank you!"
Anton smiled and captured his mouth again. Viago was too irresistible when he smiled like that. He shivered when he felt the cool touch of the vampire's hand on his lower back. It was a welcome sensation against his heated skin.
"You are so warm, mein Wolf," Viago's hand splayed across his back. He pressed them closer together and moaned softly as they kissed. "I feel it beneath my skin when I touch you." Vi confessed, their lips ghosting against each other. His other hand snaked up under the front of Anton's jumper. Viago's thumb slid into his waistband, nail tickling through the trail of hair he found.
Viago grinned when he heard Anton's pulse race faster. "Like that?"
Anton nodded before kissing him hungrily. His own hand rested high on Viago's thigh.
The vampire rearranged enough to slide his hand down further. His nails grazed along the bulge of Anton's cock through the wolf's silk underthings.
Anton's hips jerked and he moaned. He placed his own hand on top of Viago's to still his movements. Panting he managed, "we're still in public, Vi."
Kissing the wolf's neck he whispered, "I know a place more private." He stood and held out his hand, "will you do me the honor of accompanying me home?"
Anton stared in awe. Viago was so beautiful. The wolf could hardly believe he was here, that this was happening. Finally he nodded and accepted the offered hand, "it would be my pleasure, beautiful."
Rendezvous
They walked back to Viago's, hand in hand, talking and laughing. When they arrived, the vampire tugged Anton inside. As soon as the door latched he pounced, kissing the werewolf.
Anton groaned when he was shoved back against the nearest wall. He growled, biting Vi's lip before kissing him. His hands were pinned above his head but he managed to roll his hips for some needed friction.
Vi hissed at the touch before moaning, "you've done this before." He teased with a smirk and pressed against Anton.
"Not the only thing I've done. Let me suck you off," Anton moaned before kissing Viago again. He rolled his tongue against the vampire's and suckled on his lower lip - promises for what he wanted to do to him.
"So eager, mein Wolf." Viago kissed him again, "my room is down the hall."
Anton whimpered, licking his lips. "I've waited long enough, can't wait more."
"You can and you will." Viago loosened his grip on Anton with a smirk. Before Anton could register being released, Vi took off to his room.
Anton growled and followed, not bothering to shut the door. He had to taste the vampire now.
Viago was sitting on his antique couch. He sprawled suggestively, unbuttoning his shirt. Anton licked his lips as he stalked closer. The wolf sank to his knees between Vi's legs, admiring the beauty of him. Shaking fingers worked at the fall of his trousers - he loved the old fashioned style Vi wore. He tugged the trousers down, exposing the vampire's prick.
"I've wanted to do this for months," Anton confessed, admiring the beauty of Viago - cut cock nestled against a dark thatch of hair. "You're beautiful," he whispered with hunger before licking at his cock. A choked moan fell from Anton's mouth as he wrapped his lips around Vi's dark head. His cheeks hollowed and he sucked, wrapping his fist around his base.
Viago watched, enthralled with Anton's enthusiasm. "I have wanted you for months." He moaned, head rolling to rest against the back of the couch. Viago's eyelids fluttered as he was swallowed by the wolf. "Liebling your mouth is wonderful," his fingers gripped Anton's hair.
Anton reached down to unbutton his jeans with one hand. The other massaged Vi's balls as he swallowed the vampire to the base. He pushed down the urge to gag, pushing himself further until his nose pressed against Vi's cool skin.
His fingers had just wrapped around his own cock when Viago hissed, "I did not say you could touch yourself." Anton pulled back, filling his lungs with air. With a whimper, the wolf's hand dropped from his cock and rested on Vi's thigh. He doubled his efforts, moaning as he sucked and stroked.
Viago was on the edge before long, "good boy, you listen so well. Do you want to taste me?" The answering moan from Anton vibrated around his cock, pushing him over the edge. The vampire cried out, hips jerking as Anton swallowed his spend.
"Get up here, mein Wolf." Vi tugged at Anton's hair to encourage him. His eyes burned with lust.
At the vampire's order, Anton crawled up to straddle Viago. Vi wasted no time and wrapped cool fingers around Anton. The wolf shivered at his touch, hips moving to encourage more.
"It seems like you enjoy being given orders." Viago purred as he watched the pleasure on his face.
Anton blushed harder, "seems so when it's you."
Vi collected the fluid from his tip to slick the way. "Kiss me, liebling," he ordered and stroked faster.
Anton leaned forward and kissed him. Vi's fist kept rhythm, squeezing him just right. Their kisses intensified, the wolf's hips beginning to move as he chased his orgasm.
"Are you close?" Vi nipped Anton's lip and grinned when he nodded. He leaned close, biting his earlobe before whispering, "come for me, Anton."
Anton's body shuddered, coming over Viago's hand, back arching in ecstasy. He moaned and whined with pleasure as Vi wrung out every drop he could. Anton slumped forward, panting and enjoying the afterglow. He nuzzled against the vampire's shoulder, peppering kisses on his skin.
Vladislov broke the post-orgasmic haze, clearing his throat. "Don't mind me, I was simply down in my torture chamber." He continued down the hall, "it would be courteous to open a window or two." He added before climbing the stairs.
Anton buried his face against Viago's shoulder, "I can't believe that just happened. I thought we were alone."
"Are those words of regret?"
"Never," Anton lifted up and kissed Vi tenderly. "Just not used to situations like that."
Missed Appointment
"Caroline, where are you?" Anton was pacing in the waiting room at the lawyer's. He'd called his wife a dozen times with no answer.
Even if they weren't in love anymore, Anton worried about her. Had she been drinking? She could have tripped and hit her head or a dozen other awful scenarios.
"Any luck?" Mr. Stephens popped out to the waiting room.
"No. I'm sorry about this. I'll call and reschedule. Right now I need to head over to her place and make sure she's all right." Anton pocketed his phone and jogged to his car. Maybe he was being paranoid but his instincts were on high alert. Something just felt wrong.
The minute Anton parked outside Caroline's flat he picked up a scent. It wasn't a wolf he recognized. No, no, no, no, no!
He threw open the car door, leaving the keys in the ignition. In the back of his head he was vaguely aware of the buzzing coming from his car.
Anton took the stairs three at a time, making it to the her floor in seconds. The metallic tang hit his nostrils and a wave of nausea threatened him. Underneath the scent of blood was a wolf.
His heart was racing, pounding in his ears. Anton saw the splintered door. Everything seemed to tilt, his field of vision shrinking. His feet moved him to the door which had clearly been kicked in by something strong.
"Oh God…" Anton fell to his knees in the doorway. The apartment was blood and viscera without any sound of a beating heart. Vision blurring, tears of horror rolled down his face.
He brought out his phone and called the authorities on autopilot. Next, he sent a text to Viago. He knew the vampire wouldn't see it until after dark. He also knew the police would keep him busy until then. The phone fell from his shaking hand as he stared in horror.
The Police
"Sir? Can you hear me? Sir?" The female officer turned to her partner, "I think he's in shock, run down and get a paramedic."
The voice seemed distant to Anton. How long had he been here like this? He tried to make himself respond but the signals weren't connecting. His eyes wouldn't focus and he shivered. It wasn't cold out but he felt like he'd been stuck out in the snow without a jacket.
Anton flinched suddenly, a bright light pointed at his eye. Then the other. It was like he was underwater, unable to make out the voices around him. A blanket was draped over his shoulders and he instinctively pulled it tighter around himself.
The paramedics finally coaxed him to stand. They led him down to the ambulance. Anton noted the flashing lights and distant sirens approaching. Then he was sitting again, though words still made no sense to him. He continued to stare at nothing. She was dead and it was all his fault.
Time stretched on. An officer questioned him but thankfully he only needed to nod or shake his head.
Stu appeared after another long stretch of time. He waved to Anton as the familiar officer led him over. "He seems okay, just in shock. Don't leave him alone while he's like this."
"Hey, Anton. Let's head back to the flat."
Anton nodded and stood, allowing Stu to lead him. His gaze drifted up to the sky - blue bleeding into violet and red. It wouldn't be much longer before dark.
Vampire Companion
Viago groped around until he heard the alarm stop. Then he rose from his coffin and stretched. Like any other vampire keeping up with the modern age, he reached for his phone.
The smile faded when he read the cryptic text: please find me she's dead
"Nick?" Viago called out once his door had been thrown open. He headed down the hall, "Nick?"
Nick dropped down. "Yeah mate, what's up?" He startled when the phone was thrust into his face. He read it before muttering, "shit give me a sec I'll try Stu."
Viago was worried but he knew he had to show some restraint. They needed some information.
Nick pocketed his phone as he came back. "The boys got him back to their building but he's in shock. Let's go, I'll explain on the way."
As Nick talked, Viago's urgency increased. He could sense Anton's distress.
Stu was at the door to invite them in. "He's upstairs, apartment on the left. He's been asking for you and anytime one of us tries to get near he growls."
"Thank you, Stu."
Viago climbed the stairs and knocked softly at the door, "hello?" He announced his arrival with the same tone he used to wake his flatmates.
A grunt of acknowledgement was all the vampire needed. Anton was sitting on the couch. Aside from the tremors he was completely still, staring ahead at nothing.
Viago was quickly by his side. He rested his hand on the wolf's shoulder and crouched down so he was eye-level, "I'm here, Anton."
Anton's gaze slid to Viago, seeming to focus for the first time. His lip trembled, eyes welling up with tears, "she's dead and it's all my fault, Vi." Sobs overtook the wolf and he buried his face in his hands.
Without hesitation Viago's arms wrapped around Anton. He did his best to soothe him, rocking gently as he held him tight. The pained noises broke the vampire's undead heart.
"I wish I could take this burden from you, mein Wolf." Vi whispered against Anton's hair before leaving behind a soft kiss.
Viago wasn't sure how long they stayed like that. Finally Anton's sobs settled and he straightened, "I'm sorry, mate." He sniffled and Viago handed him a clean hanky, "thanks for coming though, yeah?"
"Apologies aren't needed. I'm honored to be here and very sorry about the reason."
"If I hadn't tried so bloody hard to keep us together maybe she'd still be here."
"Perhaps. Perhaps not. This was a challenge, ja? A very barbaric challenge."
Anton nodded, "it's a fight to the death situation."
Viago wasn't going to allow anyone to harm Anton. He still held the wolf, fingers scratching gently against his scalp.
"Perhaps we can patrol the area and locate the beast before he harms anyone else." Viago reluctantly pulled away to look at Anton, "we could patrol at night and the wolves could take the day if we're unsuccessful."
"I appreciate it, Vi." Anton had to look away from Viago's big, hopeful eyes, "but you don't know much about pack dynamics. By the Old Law, the wolves of the pack aren't meant to interfere. It's Alpha versus the challenger. The only way to save lives is for me to fight."
Viago stood, beginning to pace. Mind racing he did his best to sound calm, "when?"
"Next full moon." Anton stood too, watching the vampire. Viago called to his beast. It circled beneath Anton's skin. The beast could smell the potential for a mate, but the man fought it. This wasn't appropriate timing for him to initiate anything.
The vampire stepped closer to the wolf, reaching out and touching Anton's cheek. Feeling the conflicting emotions in the wolf, he was relieved when he didn't pull away. "Do you want to know why I wasn't upset about Katherine - the whole reason?" His eyes roamed Anton's face, fingers still caressing across the wolf's warm flesh.
Anton opened his mouth but his voice stuck in his throat. Closing his mouth again, he nodded.
Vi met his gaze. His other hand came up and he framed Anton's face, thumbs swiping tenderly across his cheeks, "because my heart belongs to you. I think it has since you admired my chore wheel."
"Yeah?" Anton's voice cracked a bit.
Viago smiled, "yes." He closed the distance and kissed Anton. It was tender and so gentle the wolf wanted to cry.
His beast clawed at his insides. Anton deepened the kiss, biting Vi's lip.The moan from the vampire made him wild. He felt his claws lengthen, as well as his teeth.
Viago opened up, very aware of Anton's beast. His own monster met him with a snarl before grabbing at his wolf.
The sudden taste of blood had Anton pulling back. He looked at Vi, blood running down the vampire's chin. Anton could see the wound he'd made with his teeth and was overcome with guilt.
Viago grinned and slowly shook his head, "no guilt, mein Wolf." He was watching Anton with barely controlled hunger. "I am a beast just as you are. Blood fuels my passion." He reminded him before kissing again.
The guilt died away and he sucked at the wound. Viago's blood was rich, overwhelming notes of clove assaulting Anton's taste buds.
Their kisses became hungrier. Animalistic noises fell from them both. Anton pressed his tongue against Vi's fangs and groaned when the skin broke. The wolf slid his tongue over his lover's. Viago clung to Anton at the first taste of his blood. When the wound closed the vampire willed himself to pull back. "You taste delicious," Viago whispered before kissing him again, "I'm sure you taste this good everywhere, ja?"
"Guess you won't find out unless we take this to the bedroom."
Viago hummed, kissing Anton's jaw. He nuzzled just below the wolf's ear and whispered, "only if you promise to cover me, mein liebling."
"Are you suggesting I fuck you?" Anton's wolf nearly howled and he felt the brush of fur up his spine.
"Precisely." Vi licked at the blood still smeared around Anton's lips. This level of eroticism was something he had never before experienced. It was exhilarating.
Anton took a step back, tugging his shirt off, "bedroom's just down the hall." He grinned and winked before heading that direction.
Viago quickly began undressing and followed, leaving a trail of clothes in his wake.
As Vi closed the door, he heard the wolf growl. "So willingly you enter this wolf's den." Anton, now naked, stalked toward Viago, "and with no fear." Anton reached out and gripped Viago by the jaw, pulling him forward for a kiss.
"No fear, mein Wolf, not of you." Viago responded. The wolf buried his face against Vi's neck, scenting his mate before biting.
Viago moaned at the delicious sting of Anton's bite. A moment later he gasped, being pushed back onto a bed. He slid up and enjoyed the view as the werewolf crawled towards him.
Anton kissed him deeply once more before flipping Vi onto his stomach. He groaned, pressing his weight down against the vampire, instinct taking over. Groping around, Anton found the drawer of his nightstand. "Want me to fuck you now?" He moaned, hips moving to tease his cock along Viago's ass
"Please, mein liebling," Vi squirmed beneath him. He heard the click of a bottle opening and then he felt two slick fingers against his hole. It was a quick preparation but Viago wasn't complaining one bit.
Anton coated his cock and pressed against Viago's hole. He growled as he pushed in, feasting on Vi's sounds of pleasure as well. It was overwhelming to be filled and surrounded by the wolf. He felt as if he had burst into flames with the amount of heat Anton poured into him.
Vi was pliable as Anton guided them to their knees. He began fucking into the vampire, the new angle giving him better leverage.
Viago arched, head resting on the wolf's shoulder. His mouth hung open, eyes closed in pleasure. "Ich brenne für dich, Alpha!" He reached back to bury his fingers in Anton's hair with one hand, the other wrapping around his cock as he was thoroughly fucked.
Anton growled, clawed hands holding tight to Vi's hips, "you like it, don't you? Being my bitch!" He punctuated his words with hard thrusts.
"Ja! Your mate, your lover, anything you want," Viago's fist pumped faster as he chased his orgasm. It wasn't much longer before he was coming. He moaned and shuddered, the intensity causing him to fall forward to his hands. "Bitte komm in mich," he cried out.
The way Viago squeezed him had Anton's head spinning. His rhythm faltered only a moment before he was coming. He pushed in, grinding his hips against Vi's ass as his orgasm ripped through him.
Panting, Anton held on tight to Viago, rolling onto his side. He held the vampire close, nuzzling and kissing every inch of Vi he could. They stayed like that until Anton finally caught his breath. "Can I ask you something?"
"Of course, mein Wolf. Anything." Vi rolled over to meet Anton's eyes.
"What did you say before, when you called me Alpha?"
Viago's smile was almost shy. He averted his gaze, "I burn for you, Alpha." He looked back to Anton, reaching up to cradle his face.
"I love you, Vi."
"And I love you too. We'll figure this out, ja? Now sleep. You're exhausted."
"Stay with me?" Anton was already wrapped around Viago with his head pillowed on the vampire's chest.
"As long as the room is sun-proofed I need not go anywhere."
"Good. I want my mate to be close to me." Anton was sure he heard a whispered Always as he drifted off to sleep.
The Plan
"Why have you called this flat meeting?" Vladislov still gripped his poker, annoyed that Viago had intercepted him before he'd made it to his torture chamber.
"We know there's a wolf out there causing all sorts of bloodshed."
Deacon rolled his eyes. "So? Let the dogs take care of it. It doesn't concern us."
"Is this because you're fucking their leader?" Vlad narrowed his gaze.
"This stray eviscerated Anton's ex-wife as a challenge. Do we really want an animal like that in our territory? It will attract hunters, possibly even Christians. I think we can agree that's the last thing we need. So this isn't so much a flat meeting as it is a friend meeting."
Deacon scoffed, "more like a boyfriend meeting."
Viago huffed in barely contained annoyance. "Yes! Anton and I are together. More importantly: by werewolf rules, once the challenge is made the pack cannot interfere and the Alpha must fight to the death at the next full moon. If nothing else, think of Stu."
Vladislov finally spoke, "so you want us to find this dog and tear him apart?" He tapped his poker against his knee.
"More or less, I suppose." Vi stopped and looked at Vlad with wide, pleading eyes.
Deacon put his knitting down and nodded. "When do we begin?"
Viago grinned so wide the light glinted off his fangs. "Let's say thirty minutes we begin patrolling?"
"Forty-five." Vladislov replied before standing, heading to his torture chamber.
"Do you have anything to help us locate the asshole?" Deacon asked.
"I was going to slip into the apartment and find something. I'll be back in thirty minutes or less." With a wave, Vi left the house and transformed into a bat.
The apartment was still taped off. Viago slipped in, stopping in shock at the mess. He hoped the mutt didn't make her suffer. Continuing through the flat, he followed the scent of dog.
In the kitchen was a shattered wine bottle, red staining the wall where it had made contact. One of the glasses was in the sink, shattered. What Vi found odd however was the second glass. Had she had company? He picked up the stem, snapped off from the rest, inspecting it.
The acidity of the wine paired with the metallic rust of old blood skewed the other smells. He suspected it was done on purpose. Viago traveled deeper, toward the bedroom.
There was still the overwhelming scent of blood but beneath that was stale sex. The blood smelled different too - thicker, mixed. The wolf had crashed in and killed them in bed.
Viago stepped down and felt himself kick something. It clinked against the base of the bed frame. He crouched down to inspect what it was - a broken bracelet of leather and gold. It had a strong werewolf smell and Viago knew it was what he needed.
The vampire was giddy from his discovery. He rushed back to the house to meet up with Vladislov and Deacon.
They were discussing a plan of attack when a text came in. Vi looked at his phone and began to reply.
Vladislov watched, "let me guess: your werewolf has discovered our plan, wants to see you and is likely planning an attempt to stop us from destroying this beast." Vladislov sounded almost bored.
Viago sighed, "I think so, yes."
Vladislov nodded, "then it will be up to us to track the bastard down. Keep your wolf here until we return, Viago. Nick and Stu are at the park by now. Come Deacon, we will meet them and continue the hunt."
Making Up
Viago was grateful for his friends. He waved goodbye and went inside to change clothes. He decided on casual with a black linen shirt and a pair of linen lounge pants.
When the knock came it had an urgency about it. Vi opened the door but his smile faded at the look on Anton's face.
"I said not to interfere, Vi! Now Stu is off with Nick and you smell like her apartment. What the hell?" Anton growled, his wolf pacing against his skin, threatening to appear. He could already feel his teeth lengthening and his claws growing.
Viago stood a little straighter, "I refuse to stand by and allow you to be harmed and possibly killed."
"This isn't your fight, Viago!" He roared.
The vampire didn't back down. His eyes flared with anger. "I don't know what you think it means to be one's mate. This is my battle as much as yours! Do my feelings not matter to you? Do you think so little of me?" Viago's voice had risen and he took a deep breath to calm himself. His next words were softer, "I just found you, mein liebling. I couldn't go on knowing I did nothing to stop a potentially fatal conflict."
Vi spun around, walking further inside and away from any potentially nosey neighbors. He couldn't turn to face Anton - emotions overwhelmed him and he could feel tears threatening to spill. The click of the door closing eased him slightly. "Is your desire for death so strong that you would be angry at me for trying to save you? And what about your pack?"
Anton took a deep breath as Vi's words crashed into him. Of course he was right. Guilt twisted inside the wolf and he stepped closer. "I'm sorry, Viago. Shit, I'm so sorry I came here angry."
The burning touch of Anton's hand on his shoulder did it. Vi felt the blood tears run down his face. He tugged a handkerchief from his sleeve to dab at the tears.
The wolf smelled the blood and coaxed him to turn. "Shit Vi, I know you want to protect me -"
"Do you?" Viago interrupted, meeting his eyes, "because it doesn't feel like you know that."
"I'm not used to having anyone to lean on."
"I'm not just anyone, am I?" Viago's voice sounded small and insecure.
Anton smiled warmly. He wrapped his arms around Vi and rested their foreheads together. "No, you're not. You're my mate, my love, my partner." Anton kissed the vampire, a tender press of lips. "Forgive me?"
"Only if you promise to let us help. My flatmates wouldn't be out there searching for this beast if they didn't think it was important."
"All right, I promise."
A smile slowly spread across Viago's mouth, "you're forgiven then." His hands grabbed Anton's face and he pulled him in for a deeper kiss.
Anton smiled sweetly as they broke apart. "You look beautiful tonight. Forgot to mention that before my temper tantrum." He reached up and brought the vampire's knuckles to his mouth, kissing them.
Viago held onto his hand, mirroring the action, "thank you, sweetheart. You look quite delicious yourself."
Anton blushed in embarrassment, glancing down at his own attire - jeans, a basic gray shirt and a blue flannel. "I really don't, but thanks anyway."
"I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree, mein Wolf." Vi gave him a peck on the cheek before tugging him further inside. "Shall we retire to my room?"
The wolf smirked, "and why would we do such a thing?" He flirted while allowing himself to be led to Vi's room.
"Well, the best part of arguments is the make up sex after. Don't you agree?" Viago opened his bedroom door and led them in.
"When you're right, you're right." Anton closed the door behind him and looked around the simple room -the last time he'd been too occupied with Viago to get a good look at it. His eyes landed on the coffin, sitting in the far corner. "Looks pretty nice for what it is."
"I decided to upgrade. My previous coffin was old and beginning to splinter - bad news for a vampire!"
Anton strolled over to the large white coffin. He ran his hand across the plush interior and smirked at his mate, "ever had coffin sex?" The wolf asked with a glint in his eye.
Viago grinned and walked over. "Are you curious?"
"Might be. It looks very plush inside and quite roomy." The wolf nudged at the coffin and it didn't budge. "Sturdy too."
The vampire rested his hand atop his wolf's, "I had it made custom in hopes I'd have someone to share it with." He stared into Anton's hazel eyes and leaned in to kiss him. "And it's bolted to the floor." He wiggled his eyebrows with a smile.
Cool fingers slid beneath Anton's flannel, pushing it back and down. The wolf moved enough to allow the flannel to fall to the floor. He moaned softly when he felt Vi's hands under his t-shirt and took the opportunity to nip his lip.
They broke apart so Vi could remove his t-shirt. Anton reached forward and began unbuttoning his mate's shirt. Leaning in, he kissed Viago's chest as it was exposed. He wanted to take his time tonight and really worship him.
Once the last button was undone he slid the shirt off and draped it across the nearby desk chair. There was something different about tonight, his wolf practically purring beneath his skin.
With trembling fingers, Anton traced Viago's arms, shoulders, and neck. The werewolf sucked a mark on Vi's neck, hands trailing down his chest and stomach. After he was satisfied with the mark, he continued up to capture the vampire's mouth.
Viago opened up, hand cradling the back of Anton's head as they kissed. Anton pulled back enough to whisper, "I want to worship you, love. Let me?"
The vampire kissed him once more, hard and hungry before releasing him. With a groan he leaned back on the side of coffin. "Of course, mein Wolf."
Anton grinned and ran his hands down Viago's body - mouth following as he slipped to his knees. His gaze trailed back up while he unlaced the vampire's pants. Vi licked his lips and let out a shuddering moan when Anton bit his hip. The pants fell to the floor and his wolf lunged, nuzzling against his groin and inhaling deep. With a hungry whine he licked the glistening head before wrapping his lips around Viago's cock.
"Your mouth is wonderful." Viago's fingers tangled in strawberry blonde hair. The werewolf sank all the way down and hollowed his cheeks. Slowly pulling off, he teased his cock with the perfect amount of suction and tongue.
Meanwhile, his hands were everywhere - thighs, hips, ass, chest. Anton wanted to stay here forever, at the feet of his mate, pleasuring him. He pulled away when his jaw began to ache, Vi's cock dripping with spit. Wrapping his hand around the vampire, he jacked him as he continued to lick at his head.
Viago moaned, already feeling his orgasm. Using his hold on Anton's hair he tugged the wolf back. Anton was panting and trembling, looking up to meet his gaze. The wolf's pupils were blown wide with only a sliver of yellow around the edges. He whimpered as he fought against Viago's hold on his hair.
"I'm close, mein Wolf." Vi explained as he lifted Anton to stand, "and I want to kiss you." The vampire captured his lips and kissed him passionately. His fingers popped the buttons of Anton's jeans and pushed them down, continuing to kiss his wolf with lust-filled hunger.
Anton pushed his boxers down and kicked them away before he gripped Vi's waist. With a small turn, the backs of his thighs bumped against the coffin and he fell down into the plush satin. Anton moaned into their kiss when he felt Viago's weight on top of him.
The werewolf released his grip on Viago's waist, fingers ghosting up his spine to thread through the vampire's beautiful curls. Anton sucked on his bottom lip before biting. "What do you want, Vi? Anything," he gasped, rolling his hips up for some friction.
Viago sat back with a wicked grin. He ran a hand up Anton's chest, stopping to pinch a nipple - his other reaching to the left. The wolf arched at the sudden pinch, a wanton moan falling from him. Anton heard a whoosh and glanced over, seeing the open compartment Vi had been reaching for.
"You really thought of everything," Anton smirked and looked at his vampire.
"Indeed." Vi's hand continued up to wrap around the wolf's throat. Anton's eyelids fluttered as the pressure increased. "I want to fuck you."
"Do it!" Anton managed to rasp out before Vi loosened his grip.
Viago settled between Anton's legs, pushing them wider. He slicked up a finger and rubbed across the wolf's hole. The muscle fluttered at his touch, causing Viago to gasp at the sight. Slowly, he pushed in, taking the howling moan as a good sign. Anton growled, raising his legs and gripping tight to his knees.
Viago began to move his finger as Anton relaxed. Another squirt of lube and the vampire added a second finger. Vi smirked and rubbed over his prostate. "Beautiful." He purred, drinking in the sight of an unraveling werewolf.
"You're going to be the death of me." Anton groaned, his muscles twitching as Viago attacked his sweet spot. "Need more, please."
"Oh?" Viago didn't let up, fucking into his hole with more speed. His pressure increased as he massaged him from the inside.
Finally Anton couldn't take it anymore. With a growl, he flipped them. Anton stared down at his mate, reveling in Viago's surprise. He grabbed the lube and coated Viago's cock.
The vampire recovered and smacked him hard on the ass, "naughty boy."
Anton moaned and began to sink down on his vampire. "Impatient, Vi - needed to feel you so bad!" Once he was fully seated, the wolf enjoyed the overwhelming sensation of being filled.
Viago ran his hands up Anton's body. His own hips rolled as he savored the hot, tight grip of his werewolf. "Are you going to show me how much you need it?" He pinched one of the wolf's nipples, giving it a sharp twist, "or are you going to just sit there all night?"
Anton cried out, back arched. The pain spurred him on as he began to move. Vi noticed Anton's cock twitch at the pain and filed it away for later. His thighs trembled as he lifted up and slammed back down, faster each time. The wolf whined, bracing his hands on Viago's chest - noting his lengthened claws.
Distantly, he heard the vampire hiss before he smelled the blood. Anton looked down, watching blood pool around his claws. Unable to resist any longer, he bent down to lap at wounds.
While Anton was distracted, Vi took advantage. He gripped his arms and tossed him aside. Before the wolf could react, Viago was between his legs again. He held Anton with one hand, the other trailing down to his wet hole. He pushed his fingers inside, ears filled with the wet noise of finger fucking.
Anton whimpered, licking the blood from his lips. "Please Vi, it's not enough, I need more, please!"
"You beg so pretty, liebling." Vi pulled his fingers out and coated his cock with more lube. He stroked himself languidly, watching Anton pant. "What do you want?"
"Fuck me Vi, please," the wolf pleaded, lifting his legs to drape over Viago's shoulders.
The vampire pushed in, grabbing Anton's waist. The wolf moaned, head thrown back with pleasure. Viago didn't hold back, fucking into him at a punishing pace.
Anton reached back, gripping the coffin as the vampire pounded into him. "You feel so fucking good, Vi!" He growled, his other hand reaching for his own cock.
Viago grabbed his wrist, slamming it against the satin. "You'll come from my cock or not at all, pup."
The werewolf's eyes rolled back, moans spilling from his mouth. "Bite me!"
They were both drunk on lust. Vi didn't need to be told again, leaning in and penetrating Anton's shoulder with his fangs. The werewolf's blood spilled onto Viago's tongue, the vampire coming with a bestial moan.
"Fuck!" Anton yelled, back arching as he came as well. He distantly heard whimpers as he floated in utter bliss.
Viago grabbed a handkerchief as Anton slowly came back from his mind-blowing orgasm. He cleaned the wolf and himself before resting his head on Anton's shoulder.
"Did we make a mess of the place?" Anton finally asked, still catching his breath.
Viago smiled affectionately, resting his hand over Anton's heart. "Most of the mess was on us, liebling." He curled closer when the wolf wrapped an arm around him.
Alliances
"We return triumphant!" Vladislov yelled, waving his trophy - the wolf's head on a poker.
Anton and Viago untangled and dressed. The werewolf grimaced when he saw what Vladislov was holding. "So it seems."
Viago noticed both Deacon and Vladislov were splattered with blood. "Did he give you much trouble?"
"None at all. He was busy disemboweling a human when we found him." Deacon flew up to the second floor landing to change clothes.
"Understand werewolf, it was better handled this way. This beast was going to cause problems for everyone in the supernatural community. Do not be angry at the dandy for bringing it to our attention." Vladislov clapped Anton on the shoulder before taking his trophy down to his chamber.
Viago turned to Anton with a fanged grin. He heard a series of thuds upstairs, assuming it was Nick crawling through a window. The novelty of flying hadn't worn off for him.
"See? Teamwork accomplishes so much!"
Anton chuckled, "that implies we were out there helping. If memory serves, we were too busy shagging instead."
"Vladislov said I was to keep you here until they returned. Are you complaining about my methods of distraction?"
"No complaints at all," he smiled fondly at Viago.
"Good. You know, I believe this new alliance is going to make all our lives much easier."
Anton agreed and wrapped an arm around Vi, "let's go back to bed, love."
