The Alpha’s Curvy Cinderella - Chapter 95: Chapter 95

Alpha Blaze POV
I jolted upright, Jordan’s scream echoing through the air, filling the silence, my first instinct to reach for her, as my eyes scanned the room and my ears listened for the sounds and sights of a potential threat or danger. I frowned. There was nothing. Jordan was sitting upright, gasping. I got up and turned the light on, coming back to the bed, and rubbed her back as she began to slowly calm down.
“Sweetheart” I murmured “it was just a bad dream that’s all. Everything is fine. See, there is nothing in the room” I added. Surely she could just go back to sleep?
“It wasn’t a dream” she whimpered and then her arm shot out and pushed me off the bed, sending me toppling to the floor. Ouch. That hurt.
I’m not going to lie, I felt a little bit indignant about that. I mean what the hell? Had I hurt her feelings or something? She could have just said, she didn’t have to push me off the bed I thought grumpily. I started to awkwardly move, still feeling somewhat sleepy.
“Jordan,” I said a little exasperated and then stiffened as I heard a blood-curdling scream come from her. I got to my feet and halted. Her arm was broken at an odd angle and she was lying there, panting, her eyes swimming with tears as it cracked and then adjusted, growing fur. My mouth dropped open. I instinctively knew what this was. But I thought she didn’t have a wolf. How was this possible? What could have forced her into changing and brought her wolf to the surface like this?
Possible or not, she’s clearly going into her first shift and it’s going to be f*****g painful Lucifer hissed we need to help her through it as best we can.
What do you propose I do? I can’t approach her while she’s shifting. Hell, she just sent us flying for heaven’s sake. Who knows what she’ll be capable of if we get too close I snapped back feeling helpless.
She didn’t mean to. It was a reflex. You have to do something. I mean, listen to those screams. Our mate is in agony. I can’t bear to hear it. Do something damnit! Now! Move your ass Blaze or I’ll take over!
Fine but if she rips our arm off I’m blaming you Lucifer. Remember that.
I tentatively approached her, Jordan’s big brown eyes beseeching me. Her body convulsed and she screamed as one of her legs broke and adjusted itself. I placed a gentle hand on her arm that had already shifted, feeling warmth beneath her skin and tingles running down my spine. To my surprise she began to relax, her eyes trusting as she gazed at me.
“Shh honey, I know it hurts” I soothed, wishing I could take the pain for her. If I could have done it, I would have in a heartbeat. I was well aware of how painful the first shift was. “Just breathe okay? Deep breaths” I instructed her as she sobbed between screams.
I had a sudden thought. Fear struck me. It felt like ice was running through my veins. Why hadn’t I considered this before? Lucifer is this going to hurt our baby? Is this putting our baby girl at risk? I thought that you weren’t supposed to shift when pregnant.
I don’t know. I’m not exactly well versed in the do’s and do not’s of pregnancy. Besides which, I doubt we could stop this shift if we tried Lucifer hissed back. We’re just going to have to hope that it doesn’t. Or pray. Or get a doctor in here or something he roared.
Great. Now I had something else to be concerned about. I tried not to panic. I winced as Jordan’s body convulsed again, more bones breaking and adjusting themselves. s**t. This was bad. Real bad. At this rate she was going to shift more quickly than any other wolf I’d seen do it.
“It hurts so bad” Jordan sobbed.
“I know,” I said wretchedly, “I know, but it will be over soon.”
Not soon enough though. To her, it must have seemed like a lifetime. As it was, I thought to myself absently, we were going to need a new bed after this. The screams continued and eventually, I was forced to remove my hand for my own safety. Jordan turned her head away, her face contorting in pain, and I closed my eyes, praying that the moon goddess would end her torment and soon.
The moon goddess must have heard my prayers because suddenly it was silent in the room. I couldn’t even hear Jordan’s heavy breathing anymore. My hands clenched into fists, and I braced myself. I had no idea of what I was about to see. I’d never heard of somebody’s wolf being delayed like Jordan’s was. What if there was something wrong with hers? I gritted my teeth and then opened my eyes to see the most gorgeous wolf I had ever seen. She had the silkiest and plushest pure white fur that I instantly wanted to run my hands through, her big blue eyes blinking at me, her tail casually swishing back and forth, reminding me of a cat’s. She was lying on the bed, head on her paws, looking a bit sheepish, claw marks all over the mattress, the bed covers and sheets torn to shreds. I forgot completely about mind-linking a doctor, all rational thoughts fleeing from my mind. I’m a moron I know but anybody would have been mesmerized by what was right in front of me.
I’m staring at the most beautiful wolf in the world Lucifer breathed awestruck, already head over heels in love with her. We might be a bit biased but my god, a white wolf. They are so rare. I would never have even thought that Jordan might be one. It explains why she was so late in shifting. But by god, she’s stunning. Just like she is in human form I told Lucifer who smugly agreed.
What do you think will happen if we touch her? Will it hurt her? Or will she be frightened?
There’s only one way to find out. At the moment she’s merely watching us. You have to remember she’s still Jordan as well. I doubt she’ll hurt us.
Or at least I was praying she wasn’t.
Let’s go introduce ourselves. I want to speak to her wolf Lucifer growled, swishing his tail in excitement.
Of course, he did. I rolled my eyes but approached the bed cautiously.
The white wolf c****d its head at me, its eyes never leaving my face. I smiled and reached out a hand. “Hey sweetheart” I crooned, placing my hand on top of its head and gently stroking it. God her fur was so soft.
It closed its eyes and let out a low growl of satisfaction. I dared to rub its ears and it practically purred. Lucifer smirked. Her wolf’s name is Lilith just so you know and she is one sexy ass broad.
Lucifer, you need to be more respectful in how you speak about Lilith and Jordan I scolded him, even as I admitted to myself that Lilith was a pretty name.
Sure, whatever Lucifer said with exasperation god you’re such a killjoy sometimes Blaze, you know that he complained. I told him to shut it, the white wolf rolling over onto its back and looking at me expectantly. I huffed out a laugh.
“You want me to rub your stomach?” I said and watched it nod its head up and down, a glint in its eyes.
I gently rubbed its belly as it stretched out on the bed. It wriggled happily. It nuzzled my hand and then licked my face as I spluttered. This wolf was damn cheeky. I wiped the drool off my face with the back of my hand. It smirked at me. I narrowed my eyes. It poked its tongue out at me. This wolf definitely had a mischievous and cheeky side that was for sure.
Finally, it got back onto its stomach and then onto its feet, shaking itself off. It lightly jumped off of the bed, landing with a gentle thud on the floor and I watched, waiting to see what it would do next. It walked to the door and pawed at it. I opened it, fetching a pair of boxers and hastily sliding them on, as it began to walk out into the hallway and slowly descend the stairs. The last thing I needed was some poor omega girl to see me walking around naked in the middle of the night.
We reached the ground floor. The white wolf sniffed, a look of curiosity on its face. She padded to the front door and pawed at it again, making little scratching sounds with her claws. I opened the door wide open and it slid outside, beginning to trot. I scratched the stubble on my chin and followed after her. Lucifer grinned, enjoying the outdoors and the wolf halted in its tracks and stared at me, looking slightly disgruntled. What was wrong with it now?
Lucifer chuckled.
Lilith wants us to shift and for me to take control he informed me with glee she’s waiting for us to do it.
Just like that, I’m supposed to relinquish control to you I commented drily. She sure is expecting a lot considering that it’s her first shift and first time as a wolf.
Just like that, he said loftily hey she’s the one who wants it buddy, not me. I’m just relaying the message.
I sighed and then pulled the boxers off, lifted my head up slightly, and concentrated. My bones began to break and adjust, my body shifting into its large black wolf form. I reluctantly gave Lucifer control, pushing myself to the back of my mind and watching through our eyes, like a passenger as he trotted over to Lilith and licked her snout, nuzzling his face against her and sniffing her. Lilith rubbed her face along his body and licked his nose and then took off, at a sprint, into the woods, Lucifer at full pelt behind her.
Whoa. She was fast. Almost faster than Lucifer and he was damn fast. Her body was agile, darting from tree to tree with ease, jumping easily over fallen branches and debris, her feet landing lightly on the other side with no problems at all. She eagerly sniffed the air, and the ground, sensing animals nearby, Lucifer keeping pace as they tracked down a nearby rabbit, skulking near it and then watching with amusement as it bolted from them, fear dripping from its very veins.
They began to play with each other, frolicking and rolling over each other in a small clearing in the woods. Dirt and leaves embedded themselves in their fur. They licked each other, nuzzled each other, and then, to my utter embarrassment but Lucifer’s satisfaction, Lilith allowed Lucifer to mount her, both of them moving frantically, their hearts racing. I could feel Lucifer’s pleasure as he took Lilith, his body dominating her in the only way a wolf can, in a primal, raw, and instinctive way, in the forest, the place he called home and which was familiar and wild to him. Lilith was just as eager, her body moving beneath him, submitting to her mate, loving him as Lucifer loved her.
Finally, they finished, collapsing next to each other, cuddling, Lucifer’s head on top of Lilith’s body as he put it there protectively. I felt him slowly return control back to me, even as we remained in wolf form. By that stage, our body felt drained, and exhausted, both from the running and from being intimate with our mate. Lilith fell asleep first, her chest rising up and down evenly, her eyes closed as she snuggled against us, her fur slightly dirty from all the roughhousing and play she’d done with Lucifer. When we were certain she was fast asleep and wouldn’t awaken, we closed our own eyes. Lucifer spoke, gruffly, as though just remembering to impart something to me Lilith said you don’t have to worry the shift doesn’t harm the baby. It’s a trait of the white wolf. So you can be reassured about that. Sorry man I meant to tell you earlier he said remorsefully I got a bit distracted.
I relaxed, sleep coming to me. I awoke to the sounds of bones cracking and adjusting, my naked human body pressed against Jordan’s human one, her eyes blinking as she looked around, a stunned expression on her face as I awkwardly sat up facing her, Jordan doing exactly the same, her cheeks turning a bright pink as she blushed.
