Chapter Text
Emma Swan sped through the forest she loved running free in her wolf form a sleek white and grey wolf. She was part of the White wolf pack who her father was the Alpha of; she knew she shouldn’t be this far out on their territory. Their territory was shrinking by the day by intruding humans her mother had barely survived human hunters a few years ago that’s why her father forbid them from going too far. Emma wasn’t worried she was strong, fast and was accompanied by her best friend Neal, who was nipping at her heels.
Recently Neal felt like more than a friend they had known each other since pups, and he was going to ask her father’s permission to make her his mate. They hadn’t done anything only kissing, but Emma had strong feelings for him. Emma headed back towards the main estate as Neal barrelled into her, knocking her over as they tumbled over and over. She loved his playful nature, and she nuzzled into him his body half on top of her.
Emma batted him away and pushed him off her as she started running again towards the main house her family would be expecting her back soon for supper. As the house came into view, they both turned back into their human form. Her blonde hair was stuck to her face with a light sheen of sweat from running. Neal stood in front of her and tucked her hair behind her ears, laughing he pulled some grass out of her wild mop of hair. A voice from the porch of the house caught her attention; it was her father beta James gesturing her over.
She touched Neal’s cheek and pecked him on the lips “I will see you after supper okay?” asked Emma, and he smiled and nodded, walking away to his house. Emma gave a contented sigh watching him walking away he might not be one of the strongest or quickest in their pack, but he was handsome and funny, plus he made her happy.
James walked over to her a concerned look on his face “where have you been your father has been looking for you, you need to get to the meeting hall right away” he said gently guiding her towards the main house. Emma wondered why her father wanted her in the meeting room she hardly ever went in there it was for pack meetings and usually filled with the stuffy Elders. She never really bothered with the pack meetings they were boring and went on for hours.
“What does he want me for?” she asked, looking at James in the eye he shrugged, but he knew everything that happened, so what wasn’t he telling her. Well, she would have to find out for herself as he pushed her through the door saying nothing. Looking around, she recognised some of the Elders off in groups of three and four and her father in the middle of the room talking to a brunette woman who she didn’t recognise. She was breathtakingly beautiful her olive skin and well-toned body made Emma feel like a frump compared to her.
Emma knew she was decent looking when she put a brush through her hair, and it wasn’t all sweaty and wild. Her green eyes and hourglass figure had caught the eye of many a guy, but this brunette was something else she guessed she was an Alpha by the way she held herself. Suddenly Emma became aware the woman was looking at her and she smiled. The woman smiled back then her eyes raked over Emma’s body. Tilting her head to one side, the woman appeared to be trying to look at her backside, and she felt very self-conscious.
Dragging her eyes away from the stranger as her father shook her hand and started to head over towards Emma. Lowering his normally loud voice, he said “where have you been?” looking her up and down.”
“I was out running with Neal why do you need me James made it sound urgent” Emma asked. “Speaking of Neal, he would like to speak to you about something.”
“It will have to wait, things around here are going to be busy over the next couple of days especially for you,” he said, Emma suddenly felt nervous. “The woman over there is Regina Mills Alpha from the Storybrooke pack, and you’re to be her mate.” Her father’s words winded her like a punch to the gut what the hell.
“But father I don’t know her, I don’t want this” argued Emma although she knew it would do no good if the Elders had decided it. This was how things were done and had been done for hundreds of years. She had been young when it had happened to her sister mated off to an Alpha of a pack to the west. Had her sister gone quietly had she been in love with someone before it happened. “Neal had hoped to be my mate, please father do something.”
“It has been decided there is nothing I can do about it you know how things work the Storybrooke pack has lots of land, and we would have access to that when you become her mate,” he said. David placed his hands on her shoulders “Emma this is for the good of your family, your pack, please don’t be difficult she is a good woman and a strong Alpha she will look after you.”
Emma tried to hold back the tears they would do her no good she had no choice in the matter. Her whole body felt like it was shaking “when is this to happen?” she whispered, acceptance in her voice. Neal’s face kept appearing in her mind he was going to be devastated she was too, they could run but would be outcasts, and she couldn’t be without a pack they meant everything to a wolf.
“The ceremony will take place later tonight Regina is keen to get back to her pack she has some issues to deal with” stated her father. “You will head back with her tomorrow.” Emma felt like she was suffocating she didn’t even have any time to get used to this; she was just expected to fall in line.
A delicate hand appeared in front of Emma, and she looked up “Hi Emma I’m Regina Mills, nice to meet you” said the woman with a sweet smile. Emma looked at her it wasn’t that Emma didn’t find her attractive, she barely knew the woman, and soon they would be mated for life. She wondered what Regina thought about all this she didn’t appear to be bothered but did she have someone back home, who she loved. Her father nudged her as the woman still stood there with her hand out, and Emma took it and shook it, forcing a smile to her face.
“Hi Regina, likewise I hope your journey up here was okay?” she asked, playing the polite, obedient daughter. She couldn’t be anything else the woman had done nothing to her, and she doubted it was her choice they were in the same boat.
“It was good thanks” Regina replied, lifting her hand to Emma’s face “you appear to have some dirt on your face.” Regina gently wiped it off her cheek with her thumb her skin was so soft against her cheek the whole thing made Emma flush bright red.
“I’m sorry I was out running,” she said flustered turning to look in the mirror behind her she looked awful the woman must wonder what she is taking on thought Emma trying to make herself look half decent.
“Do you like running?” Regina inquired “me too our pack has loads of land for you to roam free in, maybe I could give you the tour when we get home,” she said smiling again her smile lit up her whole face. The frown lines on her forehead told her that maybe Regina didn’t smile often, it was hard work being an Alpha responsible for the whole pack. Emma’s gaze caught on the tiny scar on the woman’s top lip and she couldn’t help but stare wondering where it came from on an otherwise flawless face. Everything about her was stunning the chocolate brown eyes, olive skin and full lips, physically, Emma was very attracted to her, but she needed more. A mixture of nerves and excitement hit her at the reality that later tonight, she would have to be intimate with this woman. “Right I will see you later Emma I have a few things to discuss with the elders before the ceremony” stated Regina as it was apparent Emma wasn’t going to say anything else.
“Yes, Emma needs to go get cleaned up before the ceremony, don’t you sweetheart,” said her father glaring at her. She didn’t mean to seem rude this had all been thrown at her barely twenty minutes ago and she was still processing. Surely the woman would understand it was a big thing being joined to a mate she didn’t know for the rest of her life and leaving her family tomorrow.
“Sorry, yes, see you later Regina,” Emma said, suddenly finding her voice and pasting on another smile as the woman walked away.
Emma sat on her bed in her room taking a last look around with the ceremony being tonight she would be expected to go back to one of the special mating cabins with Regina for their first night together. So this would probably be the last time she would be in here. Her mother buzzed around her, packing all her stuff into bags and putting out her best clothes for later. Neither had spoken a word since Emma had arrived back in her room. “So did you know it was happening did you know what they had planned?” Emma asked her mother.
Mary Margaret looked up and into Emma’s face through the mirror a sadness in her eyes. “I found out this morning Emma not long before you, but it had been hinted at by the council previously.” All of a sudden Emma couldn’t hold it in any more and her head dropped into her hands, and she started sobbing. “Oh darling, it will be ok, the Storybrooke pack is held in high respect and the Alpha a kind and fair leader,” said Mary Margaret as she rushed over to her daughter's side.
She felt her mother’s arms around her trying to comfort her, but it didn’t at all; it made her feel worse. Emma shrugged her off taking her hands from her face “why didn’t you say something I had spoken to you about Neal you knew how I feel about him; you said you would help smooth things over with dad” she said.
“Oh, Emma, you know the council’s decision is final there is no arguing with them no one was given much warning I doubt Regina was either” explained Mary Margaret.
“Well, their not the ones that have to do it are they except Regina” Emma yelled. “You and dad were allowed to pick each other to fall in love,” she said her voice trailing off. What if they never fell in love with each other they would just have to co-exist together forever. Her whole life could be one miserable day after another, Regina might hate her if she had wanted someone else. Emma had looked forward to sex when she thought it was going to be with Neal making love to someone that really cared for her. Now it had all been ripped away from her.
“Your father started this pack from scratch and built it up from nothing he had no one to decide who he should be with” explained her mother. “Things are different now Emma we can't survive without aligning with other packs we need this your sister wasn’t happy at first, but now she is.” Emma wished she had kept better contact with her sister now and paid attention in pack meetings maybe this wouldn’t have come as such a shock. She could have prepared herself and not grown attached to Neal breaking his heart. Her mother sighed “Come on we haven’t much time into the shower, and I will help you change” she said. Emma got up, glared at her mother and walked into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her.
Emma had sat next to Regina at the feast before the ceremony her pack had put on a good spread, but she couldn’t stomach a thing. She just moved the food around her plate to look like she was eating it, which was unusual for her; she had such a good appetite normally. But she daren’t have a mouthful for fear of throwing up and embarrassing herself. In all fairness to Regina she had tried to speak to Emma during the feast, but every time they started a conversation they were interrupted by someone else, was it always going to be like this she wondered.
When it came to the ceremony, Emma could barely move one foot in front of the other as she walked with Regina to the archway where it was being held. Neal was sat in the crowd that had come to watch, but he wouldn’t even look at her. Damn all of this she hadn’t even been given a chance to talk to him and explain. It wasn’t proper for her to be around single males now she was promised to another, and her parents had done their best to keep them apart for fear of upsetting the Elders or Regina refusing the match.
She barely registered the ceremony; it was just a blur of speeches, and she had gone into autopilot answering when she needed to. Now she was walking towards the cabins with Regina their wrists bound together at the ceremony. The silence was deafening between them and Emma wanted to fill it but with what she had never been one for small talk. “How are you feeling?” Regina asked suddenly, “sorry, that’s a stupid question you’re probably feeling out of your depth like me.” “I’m not trying to tell you how you feel I’m not very good at this sorry.”
Emma chuckled “well I know your feeling sorry,” she said, looking at Regina. A smile appeared on her face “I’m ok I guess it was all sprung on me at the last minute it’s not your fault” explained Emma. Her nerves trebled as Regina pushed open the door to the cabin and gestured for her to go in Emma slipped past her and into the cabin. Regina not too far behind because they were bound together still.
“First thing on the agenda let’s get this off,” said Regina holding up their wrists and pulled a knife out her boot and sliced through the leather. Emma immediately pulled her wrist away and rubbed at it, glad to be free of it. She looked around the room it was plainly decorated three rooms the living room/kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. A few bits to make it comfortable but no homely feel, she heard Regina’s nails tapping on the countertop of the kitchen. “So do you wanna get freshened up and I will get us some drinks help you relax a little I know this is awkward, but it has to be done,” she said matter of factly.
“Erm yeah sure,” said Emma wondering into the bedroom her nightwear already left on the bed, so she picked it up and carried on through to the bathroom. It would take more than a shower to calm her nerves. Emma knew Regina was right the council needed proof the deed was done and she was still a virgin, but it was awkward as fuck. The thought of Regina naked did make her body respond in a positive way as she tingled deep inside her.
Looking in the mirror, she shook her head the thoughts of Regina, making her feel guilty, wondering what Neal was doing now. Maybe getting drunk and trying to forget all about her she had to forget him now she was joined to Regina and it would do her no good pining after him. If only it were that easy to turn off your feelings. Stripping off she threw her clothes in the nearby laundry basket and looked down at her body it was well proportioned, and she hoped Regina would be happy with her.
Emma switched on the shower and stepped under the jet of water, not minding the cold to start with. She sighed with relief as the water turned warm and started to ease the tension in her body; it did feel better under the water. It didn’t last long as she heard the door open and Regina walk in “I thought we could shower together get used to being around each other” she shouted. Within in a few seconds she was stripped and opening the shower door “is this ok with you?” she asked, and Emma nodded.
She faced the showerhead as Regina got in behind her, her body stiffening at her closeness not daring to look around. Her heart beat faster in her chest as Regina placed her hands on her hips and rested her head on Emma’s shoulders. Her hands moved and stroked Emma’s hips and outer thighs “I know this is awkward, but I just want to make you feel good please try and relax I will make this as easy as possible.” whispered Regina. “Your my mate now and I care for you,” she said, pressing her lips against Emma’s neck.
The feel of Regina’s lips on her skin felt nice and started the tingling sensation again she could feel the other woman’s breasts against her back too. Regina’s hands snaked around her waist and stroked at her stomach “you have a beautiful body Emma, is this okay?” she asked. Emma nodded again “pass me the shower gel”, and Emma passed it to her, and Regina poured some into her hand before handing it back to Emma.
Emma let out a soft moan as Regina massaged the soap into her breasts “please tell me if anything makes you uncomfortable please” she said. “Turn around I want to see you”, and Emma slowly turned around. A flush of heat hit Emma as she couldn’t help but look down at Regina’s large cock “never mind that” chuckled Regina “we aren’t there yet.” She leant in and pressed her full lips to Emma’s thin ones; they felt so different to Neal’s her body taking control now as she pulled Regina closer.
She got lost in the kiss it felt good as she ran her tongue over Regina’s bottom lip, letting Regina’s tongue enter her mouth. The kiss deepened, and Emma got the courage to run her hands down the soft skin of Regina’s sides. A soft moan fell from Emma’s lips as Regina caressed her breast softly kneading it her other hand in Emma’s hair, running her fingers through it. Her body felt like it was on fire now the tingly feeling intensifying she need more her hand slid between there bodies and Emma tentatively touched Regina’s cock the skin was so smooth, and it felt really good.
“Damn” growled Regina her wolf trying to break through and take control, but she wouldn’t let it Emma was a virgin and not ready yet. She took Emma’s hand away from her as she was already hard “not yet Emma we need to make sure you’re ready the last thing I want to do is hurt you” she whispered.
Emma sighed as Regina angled her body away from her as not to keep poking her. “I need something more this feeling is driving me crazy” Emma pleaded, and Regina reached down and stroked the front of her then slid a finger between her folds. A long low moan came from Emma, and Regina closed her eyes to help the internal battle she was doing with her wolf. Well, Emma was certainly wet; Regina could feel it on her fingers as she ran them up and down her folds.
Emma could feel the heat building up inside her as she bucked forward against Regina’s hand. “Let's go into the bedroom,” said Regina, Emma nodded, and she turned off the water leading Emma through to the bedroom. They clambered on to the bed now Emma laid back and looked down as Regina kissed her taut stomach. She licked and nipped her way down Emma’s body nuzzling into her folds “I can smell your arousal” she groaned Regina’s eyes were dilated now and shone amber.
“Please Regina I can take it my body needs more now it aches for you” she begged. Regina made her way back up Emma’s body and hovered over her as she ran the tip of her cock through Emma’s folds growling as she did “don’t make me beg any more you’re my mate please.”
Those words hit Regina, and she couldn’t wait any longer either “take hold of me, I want you to guide me inside you at your own pace” she replied. Emma did as she was told straight away pushing Regina slowly inside of her, it started to burn slightly and sting a little as it got halfway in and she gasped. “It’s going to hurt for a few seconds, but it should ease off try to relax it will make it easier,” said Regina panting. She dipped forward and kissed Emma’s neck in hopes of calming her a little her arms shook with holding herself back, Emma felt so good on her now.
Emma moved her hand as Regina sank in the last couple of inches “I won’t move until you say, so tell me when the burning stops it will feel good I promise that’s all I want to do make you feel good” she whispered returning to kissing Emma’s neck. She closed her eyes and willed herself to be calm, the feeling of overly full, burning was subsiding now as she ran her hands up Regina’s muscular arms.
“You can move now it’s okay,” said Emma quietly and she felt Regina slowly pull out before sliding back in again. Things did start changing the tingling heat sensation start winning over against the burning as Regina moved in and out of her and her legs spread wider. The pain had all but gone now as Emma pushed her body up to meet Regina’s.
Regina looked up, noticing Emma’s green eyes had turned amber now and could feel Emma grabbing her backside, letting her know what she wanted or needed now. She sped up thrusting into Emma now she was so wet, so tight and Regina couldn’t hold her wolf back any longer she felt too good. “Is this okay?” growled Regina as she thrust into Emma deep and faster now.
“Oh god yes” cried Emma now as the pleasurable feeling returned, but now it was so much stronger. She could feel Regina’s cock stroking her insides, and her body bucked upwards, wanting it harder and faster she grabbed at Regina’s backside, making sure she stayed close. The look on Regina’s face and the noises coming from her made it all the better as she fast approached an orgasm. Her body started to tremble, and she gripped Regina’s backside as she flew over the edge, losing herself to the pleasure as it flowed through her. Then she felt a warmth and heard a cry as Regina released inside her before falling forward against her.
They just laid there, and Emma could feel Regina’s heart beating against her chest both still breathing heavy. As the pleasure faded away, Neal’s face suddenly appeared in her mind, and she felt guilt and shame wash over her at what she had just done and with who. But she had to stop thinking like that Regina was her mate now there was no more Neal not how they had once been anyway.
