Hawtness - Hawtness - Volume 3 - Chapter 1

Volume 2 |

The stars shone brightly across
the sky. I stretched my hands across the silk-like grass. My fingers dug into
the fresh moss. The sound of a horse whinnied in the distance, causing me to
glance to the edge of the clearing. That’s when he appeared in the distance. He
had finally come for me. I had been waiting forever. I wanted to spend the rest
of my life with this one, the boy I loved.

The horse stepped tentatively out
from the shadows into the light. My lover rode it with skill and precision. His
eyes darted across the clearing, searching for me. When he saw me, his eyes
glittered with excitement. Those eyes shone
with a deepness and beauty that caused my skin to tingle from top to bottom
every time I saw it. I gave him a gentle smile, encouraging him to approach me.
My prince smiled back and began moving the white stallion, dismounting before
he finally walked the rest of the distance to my side.

As he reached me, he fell to one
knee. “I am so glad you called me. I have loved you since the day we first
met. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Jane. I love you more than
life itself. Let us merge our hearts under this beautiful moon.” 

I giggled as he swooped down and
picked me up, his muscular arms enveloping my gentle form. He snatched me away
from my resting spot, taking me over to a small hill. His eyes never left mine,
concerned only with my wellbeing. His scent intoxicated me, his warmth
permeated me, and his eyes opened me up and bared my soul to him.  

He placed me down on a gentle bed
of flowers and moss. A burst of butterflies shot out from the edges of the natural
canvas, fluttering into the night sky. He smiled, steadily reaching down and
pulling off his tight shirt. I blushed as I admired his strong, masculine form.
 

“Jane, may we?” 

I giggled once again like a
schoolgirl, “We may!”  

“You are my first, and my
only, Jane.”  

I could not respond. Instead, I
took deep stuttering breaths as his hand reached out and untied the front of my
blouse. I raised my hands and watched as
he glided it up over my head, laying it
down beside me as if it was a fragile part of myself. His hand glided through
the air towards me, cupping my cheek gently. His lips approached mine, and we
kissed. I breathed in his scent, my body tingling from head to toe. His kiss
was soft, peaceful, and complete. I moaned softly, the only other sound being
crickets and the other general sounds of the forest at night.  

My prince began to kiss my check,
each soft kiss caressing my skin and sucking lightly, causing little goose
bumps to spread across my skin. I shivered as he pressed his deliciously warm
body against mine. The kisses lowered, each one causing a tingle of euphoria to
shoot down to my toes. He continued to lower his kisses. He lightly kissed my
chest followed by my stomach. His hands gently glided across my stomach as he
proceeded to go even lower.  

He suddenly stopped, causing me
to glance down in confusion. His eyes were watching me with a gentle twinkle, a
beautiful smile caressing his face, his head resting against my stomach.  

“Jane…”  

“Hmmm?” I asked.  

“Can you wake up?”
 

“What?”  

“I need you for something,
can you wake up?”  

“No, no,” I shook my head.
“Keep going.” 

“Jane, come on, wake
up.” The prince reached up and started shaking me.  

“Oh, no you don’t! We are
finishing this! You get your ass back down there and finish the job! I need
five more minutes!” 

My eyes snapped open, and above
me was a half-naked man. He was gently shaking my shoulders while saying my
name. I was in my bed at home. Before that was all just a dream, a wonderful dream.
As the dream dissipated, and my mind started to be able to focus again, I
quickly realized I was very familiar with the man on top of me.

“Daniel? What the hell are
you doing on top of me?”  

“Shhh!!!” Daniel put a
finger over my mouth, “Five more minutes for what? Never mind, I’m sorry
for waking you like this. I know it’s really early in the morning, but I really
need your help.” 

I let out a groan and a whimper.
I had a dream about a beautiful half-naked
man on top of me to awake to see a beautiful half-naked
man on top of me. The lines between reality and fiction were closing in on me.
Although, at the moment, I felt very sensitive, and a bit aroused. Damn it, why
did Daniel have to have his shirt missing and smell so much like the forest? If
he made the right move right now, he would not be leaving this bed until the
morning. I don’t suppose he would be interested in late night foreplay, would
he?  

“What are you looking for,
Daniel?” I asked breathlessly.  

“Jane, I want you to be my
mate, tonight.”  

My mouth worked noiselessly. I
couldn’t resist anymore, so this was how it was going to happen? It seemed so
sudden. I closed my eyes, spreading my arms. I am ready, Daniel, please be
gentle with me.  

The door creaked open and one of
my eyes shot to my entryway. Daniel got off of me, moving over to the side of
the room. Alex walked in with a
mischievous grin on her face. Hey now, I didn’t agree to a threesome! 

Alex’s appearance looked odd. She
looked plainer; her skin no longer shone. Alex looked significantly more
mundane and less attractive than her usual self. As she came into the light of
my small desk lamp, the reality of it came crashing down on me. She looked more
like me. My mouth twisted wryly. Like looking in a mirror, indeed.  

“What’s going on?” I
asked, covering up my lower body with my blanket.  

“Do you see? I’ve gotten
really good at changing into you now! I can even maintain it without thinking.”
Alex attempted to make a cute pose which failed when it possessed my own
features.  

“In your case, that’s important!”
I snapped, and then let out a sigh when I realized she really didn’t do
anything wrong. “Is there any reason you’re doing that right now?”

Alex shrugged, “Daniel
begged me to be you for a few days.” 

The two of us turned to Daniel,
who lowered his head, “I’m sorry for the suddenness of this, but I have to
move quickly or I may be too late.” 

“What’s going on,
Daniel?”  

Daniel sighed, looking back into
my eyes; the sight reminded me of the man from my dreams and I looked away.
“Yesterday, my bother passed away.”  

Alex put her hand over her mouth.
I stood and moved a few steps towards Daniel, grabbing his hand and forcing
myself to glance into those big brown eyes of his. I needed to get control of
my hormones, for Daniel’s sake.  

“I’m so sorry Daniel, is
there anything I can do for you?”  

Daniel shook his hands, “No,
you misunderstand. He is not my biological brother, he is my wolf
brother.”  

I rose an eyebrow, now a bit
confused. Daniel took a deep breath before grabbing me on each shoulder and
gently sitting me back down on my bed. Then, he moved to one knee on the floor
in front of me, looking up with pleading in his eyes.  

“I am sorry to ask this of
you so abruptly. You know how I feel about you, but I know you haven’t chosen
me as a mate. I understand and I respect your need for time. However, my
brother who passed acted as the Alpha of our pack. When an Alpha dies, everyone
from the pack must return home and decide on a new Alpha during the next full
moon. It’s like a family reunion, except there will be some competitions to
decide the next alpha.” 

“Alright…” 

“I’m at an age where I must
compete to become Alpha or be publicly shamed and exiled from my
pack.” 

“I’m with you so far.”
 

“To compete, however, I must
have a mate. A wolf without a mate cannot be considered an Alpha. If I do not
bring a mate of my own, they will provide one for me. I do not want to have a
mate forced on me.” 

“So, you want me to…
pretend to be your mate?”  

“That is what I ask of you,
yes.”  Daniel lowered his head with that, as if ashamed for asking.

I glanced at Alex, who just gave
me a shrug. Well, my sister wasn’t going to be a lot of help. I took a deep
breath. The puppy-dog look on Daniel made
it hard to resist. Even if he wasn’t desperate, I considered him a friend. To
me, that was enough.  

“Alright, I’ll do it, what
do I have to do?”  

“We need to sleep
together.” 

“Never mind, you’re on your
own.”  

Daniel shook his head, “I don’t
mean mating. You see, werewolves have very good noses. No offense, but there is
a lot of different guy smells on you. I
need you to take a thorough bath, and then we will sleep close so only my scent
is on you.” 

“So, the other
guys?” 

“That’s why I’ve kept this
secret, the other guys would be considered a threat. If any werewolf smells
another man on you, and you’re suspected of being disloyal, I’d be expected to
kill you. If another man shows any interest in you, I’d be expected to fight
him for you.” 

“That’s horrible.”
 

Daniel shrugged. “It is the
way of the wolf.” 

“Does that mean my sister
will be in danger?” Alex demanded while giving
Daniel a flat stare.  

Daniel shook his head, “As
long as I’m the prominent male scent on her, we should be safe. It’s not like
the old days. Werewolf feminism has gone a long way.”

“Says a guy…” I mutter.

“Huh?”   

“Nevermind that… uh, where
are we going to do this?” I asked to divert the conversation. 

“We need to get a move on.
There are too many people in and out of your house to clean yourself here.
There is a cabin. Werewolves use it from time to time. It’s on the way up to my
clan territory. We can spend the night there.” 

“You want to take my sister
out in the middle of the night to a cabin in the secluded woods? This is either
the beginning of a horror story or an episode of Hustler,” Alex smirked.
 

“Alex, stop that,” I
growled as Daniel showed modesty for the first time by blushing.  

“I’m sorry, Jane, I’m
worried about your safety. That’s what sisters are for.”  Alex
explained.

I gave Alex a smile, moving
forward and wrapping my arms around her. “You’ll keep my secret from the
other guys, won’t you?” 

Alex barked a nervous laugh,
“Of course, I’ll think of something to tell them. You won’t miss a day of
school either; I promise.” 

“Thank you.”  

Alex kissed me on the cheek,
giving me a tight squeeze. “Just be safe, okay.”  

I nodded, letting go of her
before turning to Daniel.  

“Daniel, what’s the
plan?”  

Daniel nodded to me, and like
that, his body began to transform. His rippling chest grew a bit; his face
warped into a snout and his eyes turned blacker. His legs bent awkwardly, his
thighs increasing in size as small tears formed in his pants. Now, I knew what
kept happening to those. His nails grew into long talons, but his chest was
surprisingly hairless. The hair on his head grew; he had much longer hair now
with long sideburns.  

This was the first time I ever
got to see Daniel in his werewolf form in the full light. I had always assumed
it would be terrifying and monstrous, but in the end, he was just Daniel with a cute little dog snout and pointy
wolf ears on his head. I wouldn’t even be against kissing him in this form if the mood was right.  

“I’ll carry you like we’ve done before.” He eyed me as
I opened up my arms for him to carry me. “Um… you might want to get
dressed and pack something for the road.” 

I looked down, realizing I wore
my pink pajamas and nothing else. Daniel’s face twisted. It took me a second to
realize it was supposed to be a smile. I’d have to get used to figuring out
expressions on his wolf face. He turned around, covering his eyes, and I began
undressing.  

I disrobed down to my underwear
when Alex made a noise and turned away in embarrassment. I glanced over at her
back. It took me a second to realize the problem. She could be a boy sometimes,
and here I was practically naked. She gave me privacy out of respect. It hadn’t
even occurred to me that it’d be inappropriate to undress in front of my big
sister.  

Then again, she wasn’t really my
big sister. She was a succubus who had ended up staying at my house. She could
also be a male sometimes. I guess that was called her incubus state.  When male,
he was just one of ten boys who had inserted themselves into my life recently.
Besides the two here, the list also included a demon, an angel, a vampire, an
alien, a robot, a zombie, a ghost, and a time traveler. I still wasn’t sure why
all these guys started hanging out with me, but I knew their secret and
inadvertently became their confidant. They must like having a human from the
“normal” world to help them interact. Not that any of the boys needed help
socializing, they were all extremely attractive. They could be called the ten
hottest boys in Fairmont High, the local hawtness.   

It seemed strange, but even recognizing
that Alex had a boy form, I still wasn’t embarrassed. I had just come to see
her as my sister unconditionally. A few nights prior, there had been a
particularly stormy night. The pair of us had ended up cuddling under a set of
sheets, watching a scary movie with Daltom, my time-traveling adopted
half-brother. It had felt nice just being with my sister. I didn’t know how I
felt about that, but I did care for her. She drove me crazy sometimes and could be a little slutty and
vane, but she was family.  

I quickly put my clothing on,
grabbing a backpack and shoving a few pants, shirts, and underwear in it. I
debated grabbing a dress. If I pretended to be Daniel’s mate, and we maintained
appearances, I should probably look nice too. Then again, did werewolf wives
wear makeup and dress nice? I had the impression they liked an earthier
appearance. I was about to ask when the sound of a toilet flushing broke my attention.  

“That’s Daltom, if you guys
want to get away unnoticed, you need to leave now. He’d break under the
pressure of the other guys questioning in seconds.”  

I nodded. She was right. Daltom
couldn’t take the pressure of a secret. He’d fold faster than Ryan, and that robot
boy was programmed to do whatever you asked of him. I practically leaped into Daniel’s arms, holding my backpack
in my hands. Daniel gave me a nod before moving to the window. My eyes widened,
he wasn’t going to do what I thought he was going to do, was he? 

He put one foot up on my open
window ledge and pushed off into the
night. Just like that, we dove into the darkness beyond my window. I fought the
urge to scream as we plummeted two stories to the ground. Daniel’s feet hit the
ground smoothly, only causing me a small jolt as he burst into a sprint. The
wind whistled in my ears as Daniel bounded down the street far faster than a human could deep into the night.
