Oath of the Wolfsbane

By Ell Von L

Marius and Tara met when the plane she was in crashed onto his property. Theirs was a love at first sight situation that made Marius think he could bond with a Human. Marius was a werewolf, and more than that he was the Alpha of the Western United States pack, and a Senator for the state of Colorado.

As the couple thought they were riding off into the sunset, Marius was faced with a coup to take the Alpha status from him. He must decide whether to escape with his life, or trust the conspirators, Oath of the Wolfsbane, that they will allow Tara, Amanda and Brian live, and turn himself over to them.

Should Marius save his new love’s life or continue his life long fight for the greater good?

Chapter One - Marius

Marius, you can’t do this, we need you to –, Brian’s words were cut off as Jack smacked him.

Enough Jack! Marius Garou leapt from his horse. Bart, go on boy, get home, he smacked the horse on the hindquarters sending him running into the forest.

Wise choice, a voice from the past said. Marius looked on the roof to see the curvy figure of a woman standing like a pirate on the prow of her vessel after a successful plunder.

Impossible, was all Marius could say before Jack got Marius’ attention by lifting Brian from the ground with his clawed hands.

I don’t think impossible is the right word, Gracey growled as her brother threw Brian through the door and into the cabin.

Brian! Marius yelled and ran toward the cabin.

He’ll be fine, Daphne stood, running over and grabbing the back of Marius’ head driving it into the hard packed earth.

Nice bulldog, dear sister, Gracey said. Marius felt his body rising as Daphne lifted him back to his feet. Jack and his sisters backed away as the dark figure from the roof jumped down, landing inches from Marius.

You’re dead. I killed you, Marius said, now seeing clearly the woman that had stood on the roof. At six foot two inches, she stood the same height as Marius, wearing a bandana which covered her red hair, and a pearl dangled from a chain on her ear.

Maybe yes, maybe no, the tall woman said.

Evangelica, I saw you die in the Trial when I became Alpha.

If I did what difference was it to you?

We were friends –, Marius started.

Oh, is that what we were? Evangelica asked.

I told you not to join… his words faded in contemplation. How? How did you stop Brian and me from transforming? Marius looked at them.

Oh no, Mr. Senator nothing’s that easy! Jack said as Gracey brought a crashing blow down on Marius’ very human head, bringing darkness.

Marius woke in a dimly lit room. The only source of light came from a window in the corner. The moon taunted him, shining its full brightness, and while he knew the moon was singing her song he couldn’t hear it. What the fuck is going on? Marius asked the darkness.

I wish you’d tell me. I mean seriously, who has the guts to so blatantly kidnap a Senator, his aide and their guests? The female voice sounded cold in the corner.

Tara? How did they get you? Are you hurt? he asked.

They beat down the door, nearly gave Amanda and I heart attacks, she answered.

I’m so sorry, did they hurt you? Marius asked.

They were werewolves, I saw they, they, they, had the same eyes that you and Brian… her words faded as the tears started to flow. Marius started to make his way to her. Don’t come near me, you’re a monster. A real live monster. Her words were terrified as she scrambled into the corner. Trembling, she pulled her legs to her chest and grasped them with her hands.

I am a werewolf, you’re right, but we’re not like what the humans believe we are. There are very few of us that act as monsters, he replied.

Oh dear god you’re not even human? Weren’t you bit or something?

Tara dear, I told you the lore is completely wrong on almost everything.

Fine! Did you use some magic power to make me want you? I’ve never wanted a man like I did you! Tara’s words were full of venom as she spat them.

I, I—, Marius stumbled over his words.

You bastard! You did. Her tears came even harder. I thought I’d fallen in love with you and it turns out it was a spell or something. What was I your full moon fuck?

No, and actually it’s frowned upon for us to take humans into our beds during a full moon or during the festivals. Realizing he was making things worse, Marius took a breath to calm himself. Listen, Tara. You were never in my plan, I was simply out running and saw the crash. When I saw you I was enamored, that’s it.

You were? her tears slowed and a moment later she rushed into his arms.

Yes truly I was. I’m so incredibly sorry that you’ve been pulled into this revolt, he said, hugging her.

Revolt?

Yes. You see, I am the Alpha of my pack. Only I’ve not followed the Council’s demands of finding another to bond with. A family has decided to force either a choosing or the Trials. Either one is meant to replace me as leader. The issue is, unless the Alpha is present at the Festival, the Council can move ahead with the process.

Let’s not think about that, she kissed his neck. I mean were alone and… her words faded as he felt his belt being loosened, then Tara was on her knees bringing his pants down. Her mouth was warm on the head of his cock as she sucked it playfully into her mouth, drawing blood and stiffness into it.

They could open that door at any minute, Marius said.

So? she said around his cock. It made the word unclear as the movement tickled his shaft, and then his hands were combing through her hair. The insanity of it all swept his calm away with his pants.

Oh my, god that’s good. His hips were guided by
