The Alpha Killer
Birds and the Bees

Eduardo’s POV

New Orleans Coven House

The call from Talia came in about two in the morning, while we were enjoying a late meal in the gardens behind our mansion in the cooler night air. He talked with her for a while; her meeting with Master Leonardo had gone well. She liked him, and he seemed to accept her for who she was. It was the first of many such meetings she would need to make before the Vampire Masters would accept her existence.

“How many do you think will come to our side,” Erica asked as she cuddled into my side. She had flown in from Dallas, arriving earlier in the evening. Jarrod had held the dinner party in her honor, since she was a key player in the Island takedown. I was so proud of her; she was strong, beautiful and a fierce warrior despite her young age.

And she was mine.

Mated life was unlike anything I had ever known. I had talked with Jarrod and Marceline, the only vampire mates I knew, but their bond was nothing compared to mine. They had centuries with each other and could anticipate each other’s thoughts and moves. Communication could take place with a gesture, even a glance.

Yet they had nothing compared to the mate bond he had with Erica. I could sense her presence, her feelings, even her thoughts. I could speak directly with her, mind to mind over great distances. I was never alone, she shared my mind and soul now and I loved it. We were a little disappointed that I couldn’t talk with the other Coven members, but I could send to Alpha Brent and his Pack. It had just taken me time and practice to figure it out.

I enjoyed the evening as my gorgeous mate sat in my lap, drinking wine and laughing as we talked with friends. Our trusted Familiars were here along with a few guests, and one of them got up and took the empty chair by us. “Can we speak for a moment,” Dr. Nora Andrews said.

I smiled at the doctor who had been so helpful with Tania. We didn’t need doctors as our vampire healing and regeneration took care of many things, but we also dealt with humans. Having a trusted doctor who knew what we were and could keep a secret was a must. We didn’t want our Familiars being asked questions by normal doctors, and sometimes humans had reactions. Who knew you could be allergic to a vampire bite? “Of course, Doctor. How can we help you?”

“You know Erica is unique, and I have been studying the changes in her blood from before your mating to now so I can understand better what is happening. I realized tonight that I forgot one thing; I have not studied any changes you might see as a result of the mating.”

I was confused. “We are living dead, we do not age, change or evolve. We are forever frozen at the moment of our change,” I said. All Vampires knew this; your could learn new things, but you wouldn’t change physically for the rest of your undead time. “That is why vampires cannot have children; although the equipment is there, the creation of life cannot come from the dead.”

“It’s all right, though. I love him, and when it is time for us to have children, I’ll ask a werewolf to donate so I can get pregnant,” Erica said.

“Like I said, I’d like to run more tests. Could you stop by my office for a few minutes before I have to head home?”

“Of course, we can do it now,” I said. Jarrod was still on the phone and the party would go on until almost sunrise, we could take a short break. Erica got up and I held her hand as I followed the Doctor to the small clinic she kept on the second floor. She opened a drawer, handing him two specimen cups. “What’s this?”

“I need a urine and a semen sample from you, and a urine sample from Erica,” she told us. “While you are doing that, I’ll set up to take a blood sample from both of you.”

I looked over at my mate. “Urine is easy, the other I’ll need help with,” I teased.

“I think saliva can throw off the results,” Erica said with a grin. “You’re on your own. You remember how, right?”

Evil, she was evil. That was SO last week. “Yeah, it hasn’t been long enough to forget Rosie DePalma and her five sisters.” I grabbed the two cups and went into the attached bathroom, while Erica took her cup across the hall.

I filled the urine cup first, setting it aside. Standing by the sink, I closed my eyes and thought of my beautiful mate on the night we met. Taking her clothes off, kissing down her body, that feeling of completeness when I buried my cock inside her warm depths. I heard her in the clinic, talking with the Doctor, and imagined her touching me. It worked, I started to get hard. “Want some help with that,” she asked me as I started to stroke myself.

“Sure,” I said. The door opened and she stepped inside the bathroom and closed the door. She pulled her dress up over her head, hanging it on the hook on the door before turning back to me. She was a goddess; beautiful before, the same change that had removed her scarring had given her a perfection of body women only dreamed of. “You are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen,” I said as I looked at her in the lacy lingerie she was wearing.

“And you are the only man I will ever want,” she said. She turned me to face the mirror, her arms wrapping around my waist. “Just hold the cup, I’ll do the rest,” she said as she nipped my shoulder.

Her right hand encircled my length, moving gently forward and back, while her left started to squeeze and massage my balls softly. “Oh my GOD,” I said as I relaxed into her strokes. My cock was rock hard, her touch so light on it, her nipples poking my back, the tingles of the skin-to-skin contact setting my body on fire.

“My mate, so ready for me,” she whispered in my ear. “When you’ve handed over the sample, we’re going to our room. You’re going to strip me naked, bend me over the end of the bed and fuck me until I can’t walk straight.” Her right hand started to pick up the pace while her left stroked my hip, moving around to my ass. She continued to work me as she started to kiss and bite her way from my shoulders to my back and down further. She was kneeling, her right hand never stopping, as her lips started kissing down the cleft of my ass. “I don’t want to wait much longer, lover boy. You better not miss the cup.”

I grabbed the cup with my right hand as she pushed me, ending up leaning forward over the vanity. She kept jacking me as her tongue extended, licking around my ass. I’d never been rimmed, and it felt different, but good. She got it good and wet for me. “Jack yourself off and relax,” she told me as she let me go. I started working myself fast as her hands pulled my cheeks apart and her tongue plunged into my back door. I relaxed into the sensation as she teased my backdoor open, then my eyes went wide. Something cold and wet touched my crack. Her tongue had widened, stretching me almost painfully, and extended deep inside me. The tip licked deep into my bowels as I lost conscious thought.

“OH FUCK,” I said as the sensation rocked me. I came hard, explosively hard, the jets filling the sample cup as I fought to stay upright. It was amazing and intense, and I told her so when she stood up and started to wash herself off. I could see her wolf tongue receding back into her mouth as her partially shifted muzzle went back to her face.

“Don’t be long,” she said as she pulled her dress on. “I’ve already given blood and I need that cock in me soon. I can’t get enough.”

I kissed her, amazed she was mine, then she opened the door and walked out. “Don’t run off Erica, we need to talk,” she said. I grabbed both samples and brought them out to Doctor Andrews. “I take it you were able to finish,” she said with a grin.

“I had a lot of help,” I said as I set them down. I sat on the examining table and she took a blood sample, then told me I was done. “I have to run these myself after hours, so it will take a bit of time to get the results. I’d like to get samples every month for the first year.”

“Why,” Erica asked.

“You have both gained characteristics of each other, I want to know if that process is instantaneous or evolving,” she said. “Other than the mate bond and mental communication, have you noticed any changes?”

Vampire sight and smell was already superior to werewolf, as was healing. “I don’t think so,” I said. “I feel different, happy, energized and content, but that’s because I’m in love.”

“Aww baby,” Erica said as she laid her head on my shoulder. “I feel the same way.”

“Well, let me know if you notice anything. Now get out of here, Eduardo, I need to talk with you mate.” She didn’t have to tell me twice. I kissed Erica goodbye and left the room. I almost ran downstairs to prepare for her arrival.

Doctor Nora Andrews’ POV

“I wanted to talk to you alone because some of the questions I have, I don’t know if you’ve talked to him about them yet,” I said.

“Is there something wrong?” Erica looked worried.

“I don’t think so, but there are only two of you in the world so it’s hard to tell what is normal. Now, you were a full-blooded werewolf up to now, I expect they told you about werewolf mating habits in your old Pack?”

“Yes, but only the basics,” she said. “Since the age of consent is eighteen, most of the instruction happens as you approach that age and comes from your parents. Since my parents died when I was young, I lost that. With my new Pack, I had almost no chance of finding a mate, so I didn’t care.” She looked at her hands. “I suppose I should have paid more attention in class.”

“Well, we really don’t know what to expect from you because of your mixed nature,” I said softly. “Vampires don’t menstruate or become pregnant, but the humans they began as do. Werewolves have heat cycles once a year after mating. Have you had any symptoms of your heat coming on? Night sweats, flushed appearance, stronger scent or increased sex drive?”

“I’d kill him if my drive went any higher,” she laughed. “Oh wait, I can’t kill him, he’s already dead.” Both of us cracked up, it was good to laugh to relax her. “No, nothing yet.”

“We won’t know about your fertility until you or Talia gets pregnant or you go into a recognizable heat or human cycle,” I said. “Then there is the whole hybrid thing. In the animal kingdom, two dogs can mate without issue, but a dog and a cat cannot because they are different species. If two species are close enough to reproduce, it doesn’t guarantee their offspring will be able to reproduce. Do you know what a Liger is?”

“A lion/tiger mix,” she said.

“Yes, but it has to be a male lion and a female tiger. It cannot reproduce with another liger but may be able to with a lion or a tiger. The other case, a tigon, male tiger and female lion offspring, cannot reproduce with anything. For you and Talia, when your vampire and werewolf natures merged, it created an unknown hybrid. You have traits of both.”

“So we could be sterile, or only able to reproduce with another pureblood, or able to reproduce only with another Wamp.” She had taken on the shorthand for her kind, it was easier than hyphenating.

“Yes. You need to have hope; Luna gave you your mate, you need to believe she knows what she is doing.” I reached over and patted her hand. “Of course, if you aren’t ready for pups yet, you should use condoms. I’m not sure if either human or werewolf contraception would work, and there is only one way to find out.”

Her eyes flashed when I talked about pups. “If we can have children, I want them,” she said.

“Good. It’s another reason why I need to check up on you monthly.”

“How will I know if I get pregnant,” she asked.

“Symptoms are remarkably similar between humans and werewolves, plus your mate should be able to scent the change by four weeks,” I said. “Over the counter pregnancy tests should work.”

“Thanks Doc,” she said. She gave me a quick hug and ran off to be with her mate.

I took the sperm sample over to the counter where my microscope was. Placing some of the fluid on a slide, I put it underneath expecting to see normal vampire semen: seminal fluid devoid of any live spermatozoa.

I was shocked to see live sperm swimming around the field of view.

There was only one explanation, since Eduardo hadn’t injected Erica’s blood like Erica had Jarrod’s blood injected into her. Her mating bite had brought him, at least some of him, back to life. There was no point in the Goddess doing this if she did not want Erica to reproduce.

The Wamp females are capable of reproduction.
