Chapter Four-
(Olivia POV)
I take a second and mask my emotion before I turn around and face him the Devil himself. I want to laugh at his stunned face but I keep my composure. I could easily tell my father that the Asshole that is standing in front of us is the same Asshole that as little as 2 hours ago has been inflicting pain on me. I choke the words down despite my feelings. Every pack deserves a chance and despite this Alpha his pack has done nothing to me. I square my shoulders and look him straight in the eyes “Alpha Christian nice to meet you.” I extend my hand out for him to shake. He takes my hand and I will myself to not react to the sparks that I might feel. They weren’t sparks at all; it was like a bomb going off in my hand. I managed to remain expressionless and look at his eyes but his flickered down to our joined hands. I quickly removed my hand from his putting it in front of me and rubbing the lingering feeling away with the other one.
“Olivia this is the Alpha I told you about that is coming to stay with us, well more so you. The Alpha of Scarlet Moon Pack.” My eyes darted to my mother as she spoke. No fucking way I wanted to shout but again I directed my attention to the wolves in front of me.
“Hello Olivia I’m Lex, Alpha Christians Beta.” He leaned down, took my hand and pressed a kiss to it. A small growl escaped Christian’s lips but he covered it by clearing his throat.
“I’m Savannah. I am Alpha Christians future Luna.” I couldn’t help the bile that rose up in my throat and my eyes flickered to him again. “You're an awesome fighter. I would like to go one on one with you. Your mate must be proud.” I noticed Christian stand up slightly taller at the comment.
“Any time Luna.” I said the words trying to keep the anger from my voice “Maybe after one of my training sessions of your pack. As for a mate. I don’t have one, he died.” I state trying to rub some salt into the wound. It is not technically true apparently my real mate is alive and a complete and utter fuck wad but to me he is dead.
“I am so sorry to hear that you must be very strong to survive losing your mate after being marked and mated.”
“Oh dear Luna thank you for thinking as much but to be honest I am just marked and not mated.”
“That’s unusual. Sorry you never got to feel that connection to your mate.”
“I’m not. It is for the best. I was marked before my 18th birthday then I was betrayed I honestly thought it was all a lie but recently found out we may have been true mates.” I take another quick glance at Christian only to find him looking at the ground with an unreadable expression. “Well that's enough of this tragic story. Let me show you to your rooms.”
As we approach the steps of the back porch when the screen door flies open and I am engulfed in strong arms and lifted from the ground. Without warning I feel myself being separated from the strong arms wrapped around me.
“Stand down Christian I promise you Bradley means no harm.” I hear my fathers words as I stare at the Alpha’s back that is in front of me.
“I am sorry I thought he was attacking her.”
I go to step around him toward my best friend. “Attacking her with hugs and laughter. You're an idiot.” Bradley scoffed.
“Not an idiot an Alpha. An Alpha that expects respect.”
I feel Bradley ready to step forward and attack but I put my hand on his arm and look at the Arrogant Alpha. “This is my best friend Bradley. I haven’t seen him in a long time. I think there is something you should understand about staying here Alpha. Respect in these packs are earned not given based on title. Actions truly speak louder than words here. Respect the pack and people and receive respect in return. If that is going to be an issue I am sure my father can find other housing arrangements for you.” I look toward my dad who has pride showing in his eyes and simply nodding his head. “And just a warning Alpha, Bradley here won’t hesitate to show you that being Alpha doesn’t necessarily make you the toughest.”
“Why don’t you go freshen up Olivia and I will show the guest to their room we will have dinner here tonight at 6pm ok? You remember the bbq.”
“Yes mother, thank you.” I lean in and give my mother a quick kiss on the cheek before grabbing Bradley by the hand and walking into the house toward my room.
(Christian POV)
How does she do it? How does she act so unaffected to emotionless? That is not the she-wolf at training. She was always laughing and so full of life. She said I was dead that caught me off guard but then I heard her finally admit she realized we were true mates. I am following them around the pack house for the tour. I am a little surprised about how this pack house is set up. The second floor has a long hallway with several doors along each side that lead to rooms. The third floor has a hallway on both sides of the stairs but there are fewer doors. It turns out that these doors lead to little apartments that have 2-3 bedrooms each, a small living room and kitchen. That is where Beta Lex is shown in to his room along with a few of the warriors. As we approach the fourth floor and it has a similar layout accept only one door leads to an apartment the others are offices, Library, Alpha private entertainment and others.
I can’t help but breathe in deeply as we reach the top of the stairs. Her scent is strong up here. Just then the apartment door opens up and she strides out with her friend pulling a small suitcase.
“Bug where are you going?” bug?
“Oh mom, dad I thought I would move down to the third floor to the Beta Quarters so Alpha Christian can have the apartment with his future Luna.”
I don’t know what possessed me to speak up. Maybe it was the idea of her being down there with other werewolves. “That wouldn’t be necessary on my account. Savannah and I don’t share a room.”
“Yet” Savannah added, pressing herself closer to my body and I fought the urge to push her away. “Though perhaps it would be fun sneaking in to see each other like that time at the hotel in training camp.” She whispered but not quietly enough.
A sudden wave of sadness hit like nothing I have ever felt before. I look toward Olivia and just before she masked her face in indifference I saw it, the look of someone reliving a betrayal.
“That will work perfectly especially since Bradley was going to stay in the Alpha apartment with you and Savannah can have a room in the Beta suite if that is okay with her Alpha” I nodded my agreement toward Alpha Oliver.
“Plus Bug we agreed to transfer to Xavier to this house and the only available room while Scarlet Moon is here would be in Beta Suite. I do not feel it would be appropriate for you two staying in the same suite. Just yet.” Olivia nods at her mother before turning in a putting her suitcase away but the question in my mind is who the fuck is Xavier.
She does a good job for the rest of the day avoiding me. It really wasn’t that hard as her parents kept us occupied most of the rest of the day showing us the pack lands and discussing a schedule for the next two weeks. It is late afternoon before I see her again. She is coming out of the woods wearing nothing but a skimpy hot pink bikini, hair down and wet walking back to the pack house with her friend and a few others. Alpha Luna Ireland must notice my attention was on the group. “They must have gone swimming in the water hole by the river. Atleast they decided to wear suits this time.” She chuckles and I stare at her looking for any indication she was joking other than her giggle. “Well I think we should all get freshened up for the BBQ in an hour.”
I nod my agreement, and make my way to the pack house. We get to the third floor and Savannah pulls my hand toward her room. “Come on Christian I know just how to freshen you up” she smiles seductively.
I am about to take her up on her offer when I hear voices from the stairs. “Let's give her some space to get ready, Bradley. I don’t know what is wrong but she seems very distracted. I am sure she will tell us when she is ready. You’re her best friend Bradley and I am her brother after all.” The two men pass us on the stairs.
I turn to Savannah and shake my head no and make my way up the stairs to my room. I enter ready to confront my mate when I hear soft moans coming from her room. I feel like I am in a trance as I make my way to her room her auroma of arousal wrapping around me. I reach her door and it is slightly open and I can hear her moans getting louder.
I push the door open slightly to find her lying on her bed naked. Her legs spread open her pussy completely bare glistening with her juices. My eyes rack up her body to find her large breast, nipples hardened, I continue up taking in her tattoos til I get to her face her neck arched slightly head back and eyes closed. Her mouth is open slightly moaning loudly. Fuck my cock is straining my jeans. As I make my way back down her body I see the vibrating wand in her hand that is pressed to her clit. I slide my cock out of my pants and begin stroking myself as I am watching her pussy glisten, I catch sight of a black jewel. I almost lost myself right then and there when I noticed the black jewel of a butt plug glistening in her juices from between her plump ass cheeks. I notice her squirming a little as her orgasm builds, seeming to fight to straighten her legs. I look at her ankles and see a black leather cuff around each with a black rope leading up toward her head board tied to the post. The ribbon and cuffs are keeping her legs spread and bent.
I go back to watching her pleasure herself as I pleasure myself. I did not realize I had stepped into the room until I heard her screaming out her orgasm and looked at her face to see the pleasure there only to find her looking directly at my face. Even then I don’t realize how close I am. It isn't until our eyes lock as she reaches her high, unfathomable emotions flickering in them that I grunt out my climax and watch as it coats her stomach.
I stand there as she sits up, unties her legs and goes off the opposite of the room striding toward the bathroom completely naked. She turns and looks at me over her shoulder. “Thank you.” She states relaxed.
“Anytime.”
“That won’t be necessary. See I am not thanking you for getting your rocks off watching me pleasure myself. You weren’t really any help there. I am thanking you because when you thought what you were doing was making me weaker or trapped me in some way you were wrong. You only made me stronger and more free.” With those words she turned back walking into her bathroom shut and locked the door.
A sharp pain settled into my chest as he walked out of her room toward my own.
‘We should tell her the truth.’
‘That would ruin everything.’
‘You are ruining everything.’
‘Uncle…’
“Uncle isn't the Alpha we are. I don’t know why you listen to him,’
I tried to respond but I soon felt a disconnect from my wolf as he locked himself away in the far corners of my brain.
Chapter Five (Xavier POV) I am doing my duty wooing Olivia’s family. I pull out a chair for her grandmother Lilly to sit down. ‘’What a dear you are Xavier. Where is my beautiful granddaughter anyway? I want to surprise her with the fact that I am here.” “She hasn’t joined us yet Luna Lilly. I am sure she will be down shortly and very surprised to see you. She tells me you haven’t visited in months.” She lets out a light chuckle. “I see she has been more complaining than telling.” She laughs again “You know she has spoken of you several times to me over the phone. You seem to have gained our princesses heart already. Though I shouldn’t be surprised you gained your place in the heart of the pack members not long after you arrived.”
Chapter Six (Chistian POV) I am sitting on my bed getting ready for the rest of my day reflecting on breakfast. Breakfast was odd the Alpha and Luna weren’t present, the pack members all seemed so crestfallen. I asked one of the she-wolves eyeing me if the Alpha and Luna usually left their guests alone. She explained they were in a family meeting this morning and rotated between eating at the packhouses. She stated that usually the jewel of the pack was at breakfast but after last night she was probably sleeping in. “Jewel of the Pack?” “Olivia of course she is everything that embodies a real she-wolf she helps guide us. Not just the She-wolves but all werewolves. She treats us all as equals and for that she shines brighter than anyone.
Chapter Seven(Olivia POV)I don’t know what he hoped to see when he looked at me but I have my emotions under control and he wasn’t going to see it. A rush of regret slices through my chest. Shit Xavier what did I just do, I hope I can explain it to him. I won’t be in a relationship built with lies and secrets. It would destroy us before we even truly get to begin. As if sensing my need for him I see him crossing the backyard with a blanket in his hands. I shift back from my wolf never breaking stride. As I make it to him he engulfs me in his arms and wraps the blanket around me from behind. A sob escapes my lip before I can stop it and the feeling of regret that slices through me once again.“You know when I pictured you naked pressed against me I never imagined
Chapter Eight (Bradley POV) I look over this Alpha Christian as he walks up to the bowling alley with his arms draped around that she-wolf. It really takes everything in me to not tear that asshole apart. He is lucky I didn’t know about him sooner or what he did to my best friend. I am the only one that she has told who he really is and the story of what happened. I may be younger than Olivia and she may not possess as many powers as her mother but I was born to be her protector. I am also half hunter so naturally I have an added threat I am tougher to hurt or kill. Olivia can’t hide her emotions from me. I know where else they show other than her eyes, she shows so much happiness with Xavier but I see the small twinge of pain in her expression when the Alpha Douche Bag walks up with were-bitch in his arms.
Chapter Nine (Christian POV) It’s been about a month since we have been here. The first two weeks they had me lead training to see what our techniques were. I held some of them back not wanting to give our secrets away but still making it challenging. To my surprise my mate kept up showing little to no strain. Then when she took over training it was obvious nothing was held back. The training was challenging to say the least. I was surprised that the Alpha’s or other ranking wolves did not lead the training. Today I am supposed to have a meeting with Alpha Oliver and Ireland to discuss methods to combine both training techniques to one that may be effective for both packs. I honestly don’t give a fuck about anything being effective for the other pack. I have spent my days with Alpha Oliver and to be honest they hav
Chapter Ten- (Olivia POV) I simply get up and excuse myself from the room too embarrassed about what he heard. I have managed to put on a straight face ever since the night I let him see me crumble all that time ago but today he saw my weakness. I feel sick to my stomach as I just let the warm water of my shower wash away the lingering feelings of disappointment. When I finally step out of my shower and wrap my towel around me and step into my room I am stopped dead in my tracks. Sitting on my bed with his elbow on his knees and head in his hand is Christian. He doesn’t look up when I enter the room. I walk in front of him and he grabs my hips and I try to take a step back but he holds me there. “You are good enough.” His voice bar
Chapter Eleven-(Unknown POV)“Yea I got it.”“And you know what to do with it?”“Yes I am not a complete idiot.”“I know but do you know how or when you are going to do it?”“Come on she trusts me I will get it done don’t you trust me?”“You are like a son to me of course I trust you and soon you will take your rightful place.”“About fucking time. See you soon.”(Christian’s POV)
Chapter Twelve (Olivia POV) I have been on the phone several times with my grandma to help me with organizing the Mating Ceremony for the pack members. This is my first time planning one of these events and I am having to continually swallow down my feelings of jealousy. This is not the fault of this couple, it is the fault of my mate. I am done blaming myself. Xavier is away acting as part of the guard as the hierarchy is traveling so he isn’t even here to help distract me from my internal anguish. I never planned on being a Luna or Alpha but I help with the pack when my parents and brother are away. “Is it okay Olivia if we only want to do hamburgers and hotdogs and some sides?” “Erika, it is your ceremony. We will eat and do whatever
