Ai knelt beside down on the stones beside a small stream and brought some water to her mouth. Her head swirled with the knowledge that Nami had given her. Her childhood friend was alive and Mated to a member of this crazy pack. She couldn't wrap her head around it.

Pain coursed through her at the thought of her friend being with the enemy that destroyed her family. Of what they had done to them.

" Ace…" She heard herself whisper.

The bastard that kidnapped her knew what happened to Ace. He knew whether he was alive or not. She needed to know what he did…even if she had to beat it out of him.

" It's time to come back now."

She jumped at the sound of a familiar baritone voice. Turning she froze at the sight of her captor there, an irritated look on his face.

" You've had your fun, pet, now it's time to come back."

" Piss off." Ai growled low in her throat, gripping a rock tightly, waiting for the fight to come. She squeaked suddenly when he vanished from her sight and then reappeared, knocking her instantly onto her ground.

A low growl came from Ace's throat as he pinned her arms above her, squeezing her wrist so tightly that she released her weapon. " You've been a misbehaving pet." He whispered nipping her jaw lightly.

" FUCK YOU!" Ai growled squirming under him.

" Eventually yes, you will." Ace smirked sliding his free hand downward to cup her bottom.

" YOU PIG! LET GO OF ME!" Ai yelled squirming more and more from under him.

" Keep doing that, little wolf, and I'll have you crying out in pleasure soon."

" PIG!" Ai growled. " You'd stoop to raping an unwilling female just satisfy your sick need for dominance!"

" I can guarantee you that I've never had to stoop so low as to raping a female. They've all come willingly to my den."

" THEN GO FUCK ONE OF THEM!" Ai snapped attempting to drive her knee straight into his groin.

" I have no interest in them anymore." Ace said placing his own knee firmly between her soft thighs. " Not now that I have a delicious little wolf in my den."

" Think again, pig!" Ai said as she fought the urge to rub herself against him. He smelled way to good for a bad guy. Her head swam with his scent. Between his scent and his touch, she couldn't think straight.

" I'm no swine, I am a wolf." Ace growled low. " A greedy and hungry wolf, with a delicious little snack under me."

" S-Stop!" Ai whimpered as he dipped his head lower to kiss his way down to one of her breasts. She bucked lightly against him when he took one into his mouth, swirling his tongue greedily around the taunt nipple. " ACE!"

The dark haired male froze when he heard her call out his name. A million times he had pictured her calling it out. Over and over again while he took her repeatedly in his den.

Yet he hadn't told her his name.

Pulling back he eyed her warily.

" What's wrong…?" She asked breathlessly. " Something ruined your mood?"

He said nothing, instead he continued to eye her. " Don't like it when your whore thinks of another male instead of you?"

A slow coldness began to cloud over his eyes making her instantly uncomfortable. " I've never called you a whore, little wolf."

" Well that's what you're reducing me to!" Ai snapped quickly trying to ignore the fear that began to creep into her. His entire manner had changed into something fearsome. She saw his black eyes become narrow…calculating.

" Think what you want, little wolf, but do not ever put those words in my mouth." Ace snapped coldly. " And if I were you, I'd stomp any more thoughts of that whelp from your mind."

" Ace…? Why should I!"

" Because the boy you knew from back then died the day your pack was attacked." He said before standing swiftly and tossing her over his shoulder.

" P-PUT ME DOWN!" Ai snapped as she squirmed against his hold. Her head spun with what he had told her. She didn't know how to process what he had told her. Nami had said that her captor would know what happened to Ace but could she really trust either of them.

She hadn't seen Nami in almost twelve Summers…and if she were friendly with this creep then she might be helping him hold her here.

Then this jerk goes and says that Ace is dead. Possibly confirming her worst fears. Ace had always been the last link she had had to her lost family.

Ace didn't know why the fact that she had called out his name made him so angry. Maybe it was because she longed for the boy that he used to be…a person he no longer was.

Someone he couldn't be.

Weak…

He'd never be so weak again.

He'd never allow pain to come to those he cherished.

Especially not her.

He'd never allow his enemies to touch her.

He swore to himself many summers ago that he'd never allow the bastards that had tortured him to ever lay a claw on his Mate. He'd rather die than to let them have her.

" You're oddly quiet." Ace found himself saying as he noticed the blunette's sudden silence. He found himself concerned for her sudden change in mannerism.

Setting her down gently before he was taken aback by the tears that were forming in her sea foam eyes. " My Little Wolf…" He found himself whispering, reaching forward to cup her cheek gently.

" Don't touch me!" She growled, jerking back from him.

" Are you crying for him?" Ace asked calmly, his hand still hovering where her cheek had once been.

" I'M SURE AS HELL NOT CRYING FOR YOU!" Ai snarled, trying to wipe away her tears. " FOR AS LONG AS I DRAW BREATH, I'LL NEVER SHED A SINGLE TEAR FOR YOU!"

" I'll hold you to that, My Little Wolf." Ace said calmly. " I'll make sure you never cry for me. Now tell me, why is it you cry for someone you have not seen in so many seasons?"

" BECAUSE I LOVE HIM, DAMN IT!"

Ace pulled back suddenly from her.

" You love someone you only knew for not even two days…" Ace said quietly. " How is that even possible?"

" I don't know…it's just…I do." Ai whispered softly not trying to meet his eyes. " Ever since the day I met him I have."

" And what, by chance, did he do to earn such affections, My Little Wo-"

" I HAVE A NAME, DAMN IT!"

Ace blinked in surprise at her sudden outburst. He realized suddenly that he has never once called her by her name.

" Ace had only ever called me my name!" Ai growled. " We may have just been pups but he never objectified me! Not like you! I was never his property!"

" So you think." Ace said calmly. " What makes you think that you wouldn't have become his property as he grew of age. You only knew a boy…a pup…not the man he would become."

" His mother would have never allowed it!" Ai growled. " Miss Rouge would never have allowed her son to become a controlling bastard like you!"

" No…if she had lived her son would have turned out much different." Ace found himself saying quietly.

" I don't even know why you want me! I'm just a Mute Half Breed! Nothing more! I have no power! I can't even-"

" You are everything that a dying man." Ace growled gripping her arm tightly. Her saw her tense suddenly, a small flicker of fear dart through her eyes. " But to a dead man, you are nothing. Give up on the thought of your childhood love coming for you. The Panthers killed the boy a long time ago."

A small sob came from the blunette at his words and Ace felt his own heart tighten at the sound. Despite her refusal, he pulled her comfortingly to him.

Running his fingers softly through her hair he placed a soft kiss upon her brow. Ace loved her more than his own life, he refused to allow her to cry because of him. " My Little Wolf…" He whispered softly.

" I AM NOTHING TO YOU!" Ai growled trying to push him away. " NOTHING BUT A WHORE!"

SLAP!

Ai squeaked when she felt a slap to her bottom suddenly. She felt heat flood her face as her captor pressed his lips against hers. She wanted more than anything to push him away but she couldn't. The feel of his lips was too perfect.

" You're anything but a whore." She heard him growl in her ear. " You are mine and no one else's. If anyone insults, I shall give you their hearts. You are mine only!"

Ai moaned as he kissed his way along her pulse. She hated how he had this kind of power over her. She hated herself for letting his words get to her. Hated how he had so much power over her.

Most of all she hated how good he smelled.

How good it felt to have his arms wrapped protectively around her. How wonderful his muscular chest felt against her.

How nice the sound of his heartbeat sounded.

He apparently did have one…no matter how much she tried to convince herself that he didn't.

A small whimper escaped her at the thought of the stranger from her dreams. One she had always hoped would turn out to be Ace…maybe a the man from her dreams was her captor.

If so…

She felt heat flood her cheeks.

That would mean that he's been the one giving her untold amounts of pleasure in her dreams. Glancing upwards to his face, she couldn't tell if he was aware of the dreams and the affect they had on her.

A tiny moan escaped her when he continuously trailed his finger up and down her spine. Against her better judgement she found herself relaxing into his warmth.

Ace felt his anger at her begin to disappear as she relaxed against him. He could understand her anger at him. He'd be upset if he'd been abducted…he'd have set the entire pack on fire.

This must be so much worse for her, being a Mute Wolf.

Yet he was witness enough to know that she didn't need magic to be able to defend herself.

A small smile appeared on his face as he remembered how fierce she had been in their fight. Had he not used his magic she could have very well beaten him.

Yet she was stubborn.

That was something he couldn't let her be…her stubbornness could get her killed one day. This was the way with wild things. Once he tamed her, she would be grateful…but not now. Now her pride was in the way.

Sighing, he picked her up once more over his shoulder and walked over to the nearest rock formation.

" PUT ME DOWN!"

He sat himself down before placing her over his knee and slapping his hand firmly against her bottom.

A small squeak escaped her at the sudden stinging that went through her. Her reddened at his action. " WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" She squeaked as his hand made contact with her bottom again.

" You misbehaved, Pet. This is your punishment."

SLAP!

" STOP IT!" Ai squeaked as Ace continued.

" A misbehaving pet needs to listen to her master better." Ace said placing his hand gently against her pink tinged bottom. " Unless you'd prefer a different kind of punishment."

His smile grew when he saw her look at him curiously. He saw a small amount of interest in her sea foam colored eyes. " Interested, I see." He said tauntingly.

" What are you thinking?" Ai asked, secretly wishing he hadn't stopped. Her face reddened as he unlaced his pants.

Surely he wasn't planning on raping her!

Once he pulled his Maleness from his pants her eyes widened at the size of it. If he was planning of putting it inside her, he'd tear her in two.

" Open those beautiful lips of your's, Pet." Her captor said to her surprise.

" W-What?" She squeaked.

" Open up or turn over." He said again and watched her eyes turn calculating.

Finally, he saw drop to her knees before him, her soft lips just centimeters from his member. " Open, My Little Wolf."

Opening up, she reluctantly took him into her mouth. Ace fought back a moan at the feel of her soft warm mouth around him. He looked down to see her lightly run her tongue over him.

Her position made her bottom poke out from under her skirt, the sight making him harder. He saw her relax slightly, her tongue moving more and more around him.

Her mouth was a delight as he bucked slight against her, sinking his hand into her soft blue locks. Pulling her closer he felt her tongue flex slightly against the underside of him. He saw her relax even more and he could have swore he saw a look of pleasure flash into her eyes.

Ai hated herself for enjoying the taste of him. She began to suckle him more as he thrust more and more into her mouth. She should hate herself for allowing him this power over her but she didn't. She surprisingly liked how he dominated her and the thought his punishments excited her.

Ace looked down to see his blunette enjoying herself almost as much as he was. He saw her hips begin to sway as she suckled him more and more. The small pink handprint on her pale skin wiggling as she slid her mouth down his shaft, taking all of him in.

" Good girl." He murmured praisingly as he stroked her hair softly. His eyes locked on the beautiful female before him, and the sight of her finally brought his climax.

Before Ai knew what was happening she felt his Maleness jerk and suddenly something hot shot into her mouth.

She heard him growl in triumph, it normally would have angered her, but she found herself taking pleasure as the hot thick liquid filled her mouth. It overflowed her lips suddenly and trailed down her throat, into the valley of her breasts.

It coated her tongue and she had no choice but to swallow it as her captor pressed his Maleness to the back of her tongue, ensuring most of it made its way into her belly.

Ace looked down at her, her eyes filled with a sort of bewilderment. Pulling her upwards he pressed his mouth greedily to her, snaking his tongue inside and dominating her smaller one.

" Perfect."
