Omega Moon


T.C. Orton - 2016
    I was a literature student on the cusp of finishing my first year and despite everything that had been going on I had managed to keep my grades in this class quite high. Perhaps I was just naturally talented when it came to words or perhaps it was the person leading the class. Tall, tanned and handsome, Professor Damien Lock stood leering at the fresh faced young men and women before him. He had just turned thirty and had a face full of stubble that coated his strong jaw, his hair was short and thick, tamed by a handful of gel and pushed back so that his green eyes could stand out beneath the thick, black brows that I’d seen frown at me far too many times. I had spent several nights fantasizing about the older man, reaching into my briefs and tugging at my shaft as I thought of all the ways he could take me. Sometimes I’d catch a glimpse of his hairy chest poking out of the undone button of his collar, on those occasions I often found myself retreating to my dorm to release the tension building between my thighs. My sexuality had kicked in the same time my werewolf gene had. Almost overnight I found myself – a young man with a history of ex-girlfriends – craving other men and yearning for them to throw me up against a wall and have their wicked way with me. These emotions felt so natural that I didn’t waste my time questioning them. I didn’t want to deny what my heart, head and crotch were feeling. Maybe if I hadn’t been a werewolf then I would’ve struggled to ‘come out’ and accept myself but none of that other stuff really seemed to matter when I had to spend several nights a month controlling an insatiable bloodlust.

The Alpha's Human - Part Two


D.J. Heart - 2015
    These are the facts as Kyle knows them. When Cade, Kyle's old high school crush, struts up to him in the gym - with his big muscles, cocky attitude and a bulge in his shorts that verges on the obscene - the facts as Kyle knows them just might have to be reconsidered... Cade has known that Kyle is his mate since they were in high school, back when he was in the closet and his reputation meant more to him than making his wolf happy. Now he's both older and wiser, and when he unexpectedly runs into his mate at the gym - weeks before he'd intended to make his move - his wolf takes over and demands that he finally lay claim to what is his... (This 11,500 word story is part two of a five part serial. It features a cute accountant and a dominant alpha werewolf who wants nothing more than to claim, love and cherish him forever.) *** Cade grinned, shuffling up on the bed with his tray and setting it down in front of Kyle. He’d prepared waffles, strawberries, and toast with scrambled eggs - the smell of food hitting Kyle’s nose and making him feel ravenous. He reached down and grabbed a waffle, sticky with butter and syrup, and started cramming it into his mouth like a person possessed. Kyle couldn’t stop himself. He knew that he was behaving little better than an animal, that he was humiliating himself, but for some reason he couldn’t bring himself to care. He was starving, and Cade had brought him food. That thought echoed through his mind, making him feel warm and tingly to the bottom of his stomach. Cade looked inordinately pleased with Kyle’s behavior, grinning and looking proud. Kyle didn’t understand, and as Cade picked up a strawberry and took a normal sized bite, Kyle started in on the toast and eggs. He wanted bacon, but there was none to be found on the plate. “Where’s the bacon?” he demanded, looking away from his food and feeling strangely betrayed that Cade could have brought him such a feast and not included bacon. Cade looked stricken, not at all the appropriate reaction to Kyle’s rude and insane behavior. “I’m sorry, I forgot to buy it. Do you want me to run down to the store? I can get it and be back in-” “No!” Kyle interrupted, far more vehement than he’d intended. The thought of Cade leaving had his throat closing up and panic welling up inside him. “You don’t have to. This is good. Don’t go.” Cade looked torn, but he didn’t get up. Kyle resumed eating, and within minutes all the food was gone. Kyle looked at the empty plates, a feeling of horror creeping over him. What was wrong with him?
