Hello everyone. Here begins my sequel to Sophia's Choice. It will focus on the teens during their senior year of High School. I am aiming for this story to show the Alpha pair becoming true leaders of the pack and so you can expect more loss of innocence as they change from teens to adults. Lucas will be given more and more responsibility as he assumes leadership and Sophia will have to adjust to her role as well. In light of this you can also expect them to be more violent, powerful and sexier than ever. But I think it is these qualities that make life at Wolf Lake so interesting in the first place.

Hope you enjoy this. Let me know!

Holding Court

It was the last night of summer break for the teens of Wolf Lake. A night of freedom from the responsibilities of school, homework and various other commitments that were pending on the next sunrise. For many looked at this night as a night for last chances. The last chance to stay out late, party with your friends or spend sultry summer nights with a summer lover without someone asking, "Did you do your homework yet?"

For the kids on the Hill however, every night seemed like this. It was not that they did not care about school or commitments, for they did as well as the next student. It was only the matter of their body chemistries. They were quick learners and their physical abilities allowed them to finish homework in less than half the time that it would take an average person. This left them with more time to spend with each other, a need vital to their existence.

Tonight the Hill kids rave was in full swing as all came out this night to celebrate life. This area on the shore of the lake was like an institution to the teens. Every night of the week you could come here and find others just like you looking for the same things that you were. The music was fast and exciting and the dancing was wild and uninhibited. Every desire of your body could be met here and for the Hill kids, their desires were many.

Sophia Donner had spent this summer discovering all the desires of her own body and those of her mate, Lucas Cates. They weren't official mates yet. Not until next summer would they be able to complete the mating ceremony that would tie them together for life. But in the minds of the pack, they were already mated. They had gone exclusive with each other last spring which was the human equivalent of being engaged. This whole summer was an intense lesson in desire for Sophia. Lucas had been her first and only lover, but he quickly taught her much about the pleasures of her body and his. They had been inseparable all summer, hardly spending any time apart. Now Sophia couldn't imagine her life any other way. Lucas was as vital to her as breathing.

She floated now on the surface of the lake, looking up at the moon and the stars. She was thinking about school starting tomorrow and she felt a sorrow that this summer had to end. The cool water felt refreshing against her skin on this hot evening. There were many things she had to adjust to lately, many things she was still adjusting to. She had no idea that being Alpha female would be so different from being in any other position. But she knew that Lucas needed a strong mate and she did not want to ever let him down.

Baby come back to me.

Sophia smiled when she heard his masculine voice in her head. He did not like her away from him for too long. She was glad that he felt this way about her because she knew that she felt exactly the same way. Sophia turned onto her front and swam back towards the shore of the rave site. As she approached closer the music grew louder and the exciting beat began to pulse through her body.

She no longer felt shy about nudity as she once did. She loved her powerful body for the things it could do and the pleasure it brought her. She walked out of the lake slowly and stretched her body with a deep sigh. She reached down and pick up a rectangle of thin colorful material which she tied around her waist like a short skirt, knotted above one leg. The skirt rode low on her hips exposing her flat belly and emphasizing the sway of her hips as she moved toward the crowd of dancers.

Her walk was slow and sultry, her leg peeking out through the slit of the fabric as she walked. Long brown hair flowed over her chest and covered her breasts making her feel that a top was unnecessary. The eyes of all the dancers turned to her and the crowd parted like the Red Sea as she passed. No male would dare risk getting too close to the Alpha female. Everyone there was in sexual musk and for a male to put his musk on Sophia would be a death sentence. But this did not prevent them from looking. All skin walker teens observed each other carefully and watching the Alpha pair was extremely exciting to them.

They watched as she slowly made her way through the crowd, hips swinging in sexy confidence. But Sophia's attention was on only one thing, the male in her direct line of vision. He had been sitting on the hood of his red GTO talking to friends until she had come out of the water. His sharp eyes were now riveted to her completely as she made her way over to him and he felt extreme pride in how beautiful and sexy she was. His friends turned and watched her approach as well because they knew that anything they said to him now would not be heard.

Lucas's whole demeanor changed when Sophia was near. It was as if he would open up to catch her and then his arms would wrap around her body. Always their lips would meet in this moment of deep communion with each other and all other matters would have to wait until this bond was established. When their lips finally parted, Sophia turned her head towards Lucas's friends and smiled.

"Hey guys," she greeted them. She reached out and grabbed a few lime slices from someone passing by with a cup full of them.

"Hi Sophia," Sean and Stephen replied. They all watched as Sophia crawled up onto the hood of the car and scooted back towards the windshield where she could lean back against it and look up at the night sky. Lucas instinctively laid back onto his elbows next to her legs.

"So what do you guys think of the team this year?" Lucas asked his friends. Football practice had started last month and they were adjusting to having the new juniors on their team.

Before they could answer a commotion at the tree line drew their attention and Lucas sat up straight and waited to see what had transpired. Two skin walker males were dragging two human boys out of the trees and towards Lucas. Lucas had seen these two at school before, though he didn't even know their names. They were sophomores last year he believed. What the hell were they doing here?

The boys had terrified looks on their faces, like deer cornered before a kill. They were held before Lucas by the angry males.

"What's going on Darren?" Lucas asked.

"These two were spying," Darren answered his leader.

This happened occasionally. The humans would get too curious about what went on at the Hill kids' raves. The stupid ones became too bold and finally built up their courage to come and have a look. Lucas hated these times. It often led to decisions in which he disliked making, but were necessary to the survival of the pack.

Sophia scooted up behind Lucas and he felt her hands on his shoulders, lending him support and strength. Instinctively he shifted his body so that Sophia would not be so visible to the humans. His need to protect his mate was vital to his own well being.

"We're sorry, we… were just hiking," one of the boys managed to say through his fright. He had always been frightened of Lucas Cates. Everyone was. He was strong and his mere presence was enough to make even a bully shrink. Even the humans could sense the danger and power of Lucas and most tried their best to avoid him.

Lucas stood up and took a few steps towards one boy. He grabbed his chin and forced him to look him in the face. Lucas could see the boy's memories. This was the only way he would be able to tell just what the boy had seen. Tears welled up in the boy's eyes and he began crying in fear. Lucas released his grip and walked back to the hood of the car, taking his position in front of his mate again as everyone waited for his orders. The dancing had stopped and all the skin walkers were now gathered for the verdict.

Sophia had been linked to him the whole time. She had seen what he had. She put her arms around his chest and laid her head on his back. They had seen too much.

Sometimes human spies would only see sex or drinking or dancing, but this time they had seen more. They had witnessed the transformation of two skin walkers as they were returning from a run. These were the times in which being Alpha was the most difficult. The times he had to send others to their deaths. Sophia hated this part of the job even more but she had come to understand how fragile their way of life was and that sometimes they needed to go to extremes to protect it.

A group of females now gathered off to the side, already emitting soft growls of excitement. None of the others had the responsibility of making these decisions and so they accepted any decision made by Lucas and Sophia as the right one.

Lucas locked eyes with Sean and send him a silent order.

Sean looked at the two humans and said, "You are free to go." The boys were released and they took off shaking and stumbling towards the tree line and into the woods.

Sarah Hollander, Sean's mate, now walked up to him and put her arms around his waist, gazing up into his face. He glanced down into her eyes and gave a slight nod. Sarah was Sophia's best friend and now mate to the Beta wolf. Sean and Sarah had gone exclusive just last month.

Sarah turned her head to the group of females that had gathered and nodded. The females growled and tore at their clothes in excitement. The promise of the chase and of blood filled their bodies so that they could carry out the wishes of their leader. The air crackled with flashes as the group transformed and took off in pursuit of the boys. Killing humans was not normally allowed. But at times like these, when it was allowed, they reveled in the excitement of the hunt. Off they ran, howling to their prey.

Sophia's tongue and lips traveled across the back of Lucas's neck, nipping and kissing him. She wanted to give him comfort and show him her support. They had had many long talks about the types of decisions they would have to face as the Alpha pair. Vivian, Lucas's mother, had also spent time with Sophia, telling her many things she would have to face as Alpha female. Although she found much of it difficult to accept, she accepted it nonetheless. This was who they were.

Her efforts were working as Lucas now turned his thoughts to her and the way she made him feel. He felt as though he loved her more and more every day. Her presence consumed him yet made him more of a man than he was before. Their combined chemistry sparked powerful waves of emotion that all in their presence felt. He felt invincible with her at his side.

Lucas now laid back again turning his body towards Sophia as she once again leaned back against the windshield. He wrapped his powerful right arm around her legs and put his head on her lap.

Sophia loved touching Lucas's body as much as he enjoyed touching hers. His shirt was off and he wore only his blue jeans, giving her vision the treat of gazing at his powerful shoulder, arm, chest and back muscles. She loved watching his muscles stretch and ripple as he moved and she celebrated the fact that he was hers to touch and enjoy any time she wished.

She moved her hand over his arm, caressing him. His closeness always seemed to light a spark of need inside of her. She could not help the feelings he created in her and she no longer bothered to fight them. Lucas could feel a ripple of excitement pass through Sophia and he lifted his head to look up into her face.

Giving her a very sexy smile he said, "You want something?" She smiled down at him as she knew that he already knew exactly what she wanted. They enjoyed playing little games with each other in this way. Sophia took one of the limes she had took earlier and held it over her belly. Squeezing the slice, they both watched as the juice trickled down into her bellybutton.

"I thought you might be thirsty," she smiled at him.

"You thought right," he said huskily as he lowered his face to her belly. Sophia closed her eyes and put her fingers through his hair as she felt his hot tongue glide and probe into her navel. Her body was heating up and her breathing became more shallow as he continued exploring her belly with his mouth.

Lucas knew exactly what Sophia liked for he would link his mind up with hers and feel everything she did. He knew all the sensitive areas of her body and what things affected her the most. The skin of her lower belly was one of her favorite places and he licked and kissed her there now, flaming her desire more and more. Her increasing musk was affected him as well and he reached up to undo the knot of the skirt at her hip.

He felt her place a hand over his. "Not in front of the children," she said. He thought that perhaps she was referring to the rest of the pack, but knew different when he felt a tug on his hair. He lifted his head and noticed that Randy and his younger sister, Cassandra were standing there on the side of the car, waiting to speak with them.

"Should we come back later?" Randy said smiling.

Lucas was just about to say yes when Sophia spoke first, "No, its o.k. Come closer."

Lucas propped his head up on his elbow and sighed in frustration.

Sophia smiled and ran a hand through his hair. It amused her how pouty he became when pack business disrupted their love making.

They had expected Randy to present his sister tonight. She was fifteen and had just flipped last week. Now she was attending her first rave. Only teens that had flipped were allowed to attend the raves. Sophia thought her very pretty with long blonde hair and blue eyes. She had a sweet look about her. As a new female, she would fall under Sophia's domain and now Sophia looked her over carefully. She looked petite, but Sophia knew differently. Randy had told her that Cassandra was strong and would most likely end up in the dominant group.

"Sophia," said Randy, "I'd like you to meet my sister Cassandra."

Sophia smiled at her. "Welcome to the pack, Cassandra."

Cassandra smiled at Sophia, her eyes glancing at the Alpha male holding protectively onto his mate. Such power radiated from this pair that it made her feel very small. Lucas nodded his acknowledgement of her and then bent down once again to Sophia's belly to continue the seduction of his mate.

Cassandra swallowed hard at the feeling of lust which struck at her suddenly as she watched this powerful male pour his attentions onto Sophia.

Sophia's eyes became slightly glazed as well as she let out a small growl. She turned her face towards Cassandra once again, her voice now altered by her growing arousal.

"I'm giving you a welcome gift tonight Cassandra," Sophia said. "No one shall challenge you tonight." Sophia sent this last sentence out on a general wave. All the females in the area heard this order.

Cassandra looked around the rave sight. She had expected to have a fight tonight. Randy had told her that she could expect one fight a day until she had established a place in the pack. The females that had glared at her when she arrived now looked away when they heard the order from Sophia. So she wouldn't have to fight tonight, she thought. Tomorrow would be different though.

"And one more thing," Sophia breathed out. Cassandra looked back to the Alpha pair and her mouth when dry. Lucas was now pulling one of Sophia's legs to the side and kissing the soft skin on the inside of her thigh. Cassandra had never seen anything so hot in her life and her pupils dilated with this image. "You get to be with a dominate male, if you choose," Sophia said with her last coherent thoughts.

Cassandra looked at her brother in question and Randy gestured towards the group of dominant males which now gathered, looking at Cassandra in interest. She was fresh and untried and the males were excited to be with her. They smiled at her and stood taller, trying to present her with an appealing view.

Cassandra swallowed her nerves. She felt so much need right now after feeling the sexual energy of the Alphas that she scanned the group of males and found her gaze pause on Stephen. He knew when she had chosen him and walked up to her, placing a caressing hand on her back.

"Hi," he said in a sexy voice.

"Hi," she smiled shyly at him. Randy turned and left his sister to pursue his own fun for the evening. He knew she would be in good hands.

They both looked at the Alpha pair now. Sophia had her hands on Lucas's head, grasping at his hair. Her head was thrown back in pleasure as she moaned her delight. Her back arched as she gave her self up to Lucas and his magic mouth.

Cassandra's eyes began to glow and her heart pounded in her chest. Stephen leaned down and whispered into her ear. "You want that? You want to feel like Sophia feels?"

Cassandra felt speechless. Her body was screaming for release. She nodded.

Stephen smiled at her and took her hand to lead her off into the forest. He was going to enjoy showing this pretty little blonde the pleasures of being a skin walker teen.
