“So they don’t even give us a chance? They locked that poor guy up because he refused to be controlled. God, will they do that to me?”
“Only if you give them a lot of trouble, Nicky, and then Marco would have to agree, and I don’t think he would ever do that. He really loves you. Besides, you’ve only just got here. They would give you much more time to settle in before doing anything so drastic. ”
“Yeah, well, fuck that. I need to get out of here. ”
“But Nicky, you can’t. I explained why. You’re different now. You’re werekin. You have a need to be with the pack, and you have to feed from a wolf. The need can’t be satisfied any other way. And what about Marco?”
Nicky put his head in his hands. “Hell, I don’t know. I don’t know! I can’t leave him—I’d be miserable without him. I don’t even think I can live without him now. Damn it!”
“This is apparently most of the issue with the rogue packs. Their mates can’t or won’t settle for submission, and they can’t live without each other either. ”
“What about this guy you told me about? Marco said they were giving him female hormones. ”
“Yes, a kind of chemical castration, but they’re not working too well. When he escaped, he and his mistress were living with the rogue pack. They say she might be their Alpha. Our wolves have them both back in the pack now—she followed him back when he was captured. But they say she’s miserable, and he’s still really savage, fighting with everybody and everything they’re trying to do for him. ” Tara sat up straighter with a sudden thought. “Maybe the rogue pack is here for them. Maybe they’ve come to help them escape again. ”
“Look, I can’t just stand by while the poor guy loses his balls, even figuratively. I couldn’t live with myself. Think we should try to help him escape?”
“Oh no, Nicky. If they caught us, they’d punish us terribly. I don’t want another spanking. Those things are terrible. ”
Nicky smiled. “Did Tristan really beat you?”
“Well, it was all on my bottom. He called it a spanking, and then he made love to me right after. I think he kind of liked it. ”
Nicky laughed out loud. “I’ll bet he did. ”
“What about you? Don’t you hate them too?”
“I’ve never had the pleasure. ”
“What? As bad as you are and Marco hasn’t spanked you yet? He must really spoil you very badly. ”
Nicky smiled again. “I guess he does. I get fucked every chance he gets. ” He laughed. “Not that I don’t enjoy it. ”
Tara sighed. “Me too. I love it too. I guess it’s because I love Tristan so much. ”
Nicky leaned forward. “Tell me, Tara, I’ve got to know. Does he have one those gland things on the base of his cock?”
Tara blushed prettily. “Oh my God, yes, a wolf thing. It almost killed me the first night. We were tied up for over an hour. ”
Nicky laughed. “Us too! Some weird shit, isn’t it?”
“Yes, but I love him, so I don’t mind. It’s just a part of who he is. ”
They smiled at each other, and Tara got up to go. “My master will be coming for me soon. Let me put your cuffs back on. ”
They’d only just gotten them fastened when the door jiggled, followed by a loud, frenzied knocking. Tara hurried to the door. Rory rushed in, followed closely by Tristan. They, apparently thought Nicky had overpowered Tara, and escaped. Both looked a little chagrined when they saw Nicky sitting docilely on the bed in his cuffs. Tristan snapped Tara’s leash on and led her out without even acknowledging Nicky. Rory, in a sulk, sat down, turned on the television and glanced over at him.
“I thought she was grooming you. You don’t look any different to me. Still as bratty as ever. ”
Nicky ignored him, quietly watching television and biding his time, refusing to be baited. He had to behave himself if he wanted to talk Marco into letting him have more freedom.
“Hey, I’m talking to you, brat!” Rory threw a wadded up piece of paper at him, hitting him in the forehead. “Say, ‘yes, sir,’ when I speak to you!”
“Kiss my ass!”
Rory shook his head moodily. “I hate sitting in here with you all afternoon. It’s beautiful outside too. ” He looked longingly at the window.
“Then let’s go for a walk,” Nicky suggested.
