The Alpha's Toy by Sam Crescent

her wolf wasn’t listening. Collapsing to the floor, Mary
grabbed her head as the pain exploded sending fire into every part
of her body.
    The door crashed open to the
bedroom.
    Her wolf growled, wanting out of her body.
Mary had always felt one with her wolf, but in that instant she
felt like they were two different beings. It was like her wolf had
been trapped somehow, and now it was finally breaking free from
whatever held onto it.
    “ Help me,” she asked,
screaming.
    Mary’s words were cut off as she felt
her arm breaking, getting ready for the change.
    No, she wouldn’t survive this. It wasn’t
the full moon, and she’d been told many times that if she ever
changed without the moon she would die.
    Taking deep breaths, she shrieked as
her thigh twisted of its own accord at an odd angle. The pain was
unlike anything she’d ever felt. What was going on with her
wolf?
    You’re going to kill
me.
    Mary whimpered as her leg was flung at
another angle. She heard the other pack around her yelling orders.
Someone pulled her close. They were too hot. The towel she’d worn
was torn off her body. Glancing down, she saw her stomach rippling
as if her wolf was about to tear out of her stomach.
    We’re trapped no
more.
    Panicking, Mary cried out, screaming
for help.
    “ Enough!” Zeke yelled the
word once again. Jerking at the sound, Mary looked into his eyes
seeing the glowing Alpha depths.
    Mate. Alpha.
    The wolf inside her purred and slowly,
silenced. Her body tore at an odd angle going back in their
sockets. She screamed once more before darkness claimed
her.

    Zeke felt her slump and was
thankful for that. Jane handed him the towel, which he laid over her
body, giving her some dignity. Running a hand over his face, he
stared down into her open face.
    “ What the fuck was that?”
Jane asked, sitting back.
    Max and several of his men were looking at
the woman, who was pale. Her skin was covered in a layer of sweat
and not from the hot shower they’d shared. Holy fuck, he’d never
been so terrified in his life. The way she’d fallen to her knees
screaming as her wolf hit out. Her wolf hadn’t responded straight
away. It was like she’d never run free. Zeke had sensed the
desperation within the wolf inside Mary. The wolf was trapped in a
cage begging to be let out.
    “ I don’t know. I need to talk to
Jessica. Actually, I need to go and have a look at the
pack ’s hiding
place. I’m starting to feel something went fucked up over there,
and Mary is one of those wolves.”
    She was the woman he’d bitten.
Zeke was sure of it even though she didn’t smell like his woman.
Everything she described of that night was true to what he
remembered. The following day when he’d gone back to find her Mary
hadn’t been anywhere in sight. He didn’t know her name or any way
in which to find her. Fuck, something was going
on , and he
needed to find out.
    “ Fuck, Zeke. I’ve never
seen anything like it,” Max said.
    Jane was kneeling on the floor
stroking her hair. Mary was shaking and muttering in her
sleep.
    “ She mentioned something about
injections. When I asked you last night to find out whatever you
could about her, I don’t want that anymore. We’re going back to the
pack’s house. I’m going to get to the bottom of this. Whatever
Roger and Dani were planning, it wasn’t going to be pretty.”
Holding Mary in his arms, Zeke felt his heart pounding. Glancing at
all of his men, he stared at the sympathy in all of their
eyes.
    “ For a half breed, she’s
strong,” Jane said. “I’ve never known anyone to hold off the
change.”
    Zeke agreed. “I don’t think she’ll
survive the next change unless we find out what happened to her in
the other pack’s care.”
    “ You don’t think they were
experimenting, do you?” Jane asked.
    Frozen, Zeke looked at the other
woman. “What?”
    “ I’ve heard rumors that some
packs are using half breeds as experiments to try to strengthen
their packs. If
