Chapter 2

As Gael released his seed on Amy’s stomach, he heard a commotion outside the packhouse. He got up and walked to the window and saw Phoenix get into a taxi with her family and her friend and they all looked like the world was coming to an end. He felt the hollowest feeling in his chest and couldn’t understand why it hurt so much. Watching the taxi drive away hurt him to his core. He had to bend over to keep from falling to the floor.

“Gael, come back, I’m cold.” Amy whined and he almost threw up.

“I’ve got work to do; I’m going to the shower.”

“Want some company?” she said as she snaked her way over to him. he wasn’t feeling sexual right then.

No, I’ve got a lot of work to do. Go and get yourself together in your room.” She looked at him as if he’d slapped her. “Sorry babe, how about you and the girls go and get mani-pedi’s?” he said as he handed her his credit card. She squealed and ran from the room.

After he showered, he went to talk with his father.

“Hey pop, what’s going on with the Greeley’s? it looks like Phoenix left the pack.”

“Beats me son. Why don’t you ask Lance?” That was a great idea. He found him standing on the porch, looking like someone killed his best friend.

“Hey Lance, how’s it hanging?” He knew he was bothered by something.

“What? Huh? Oh, I’m good.”

“You sure? You know you can talk to me about anything.  You’re about to be my beta. Dude we gotta stick together.”

He sighed. “Phee left and I don’t know if or when she’s coming back.” Gael’s head went to an instant headache, and he had a hard time taking a breath. “Why?”

He shook his head, “I don’t know.” And he just walked away deep in thought.

Holy shit, she left! I know I said some harsh shit and rejected her, but I didn’t know she’d go away.  This has been her pack all of her life and now she’s gone, and nobody knows where? My wolf Ronan hadn’t spoken to me or even been present since I rejected her. Maybe this was for the best. I didn’t need her walking around the pack, enticing me. I rejected her for a reason.  She wasn’t attractive to me, I mean she was pretty and had great tits, but she had a wedge of baby fat and was clumsy and couldn’t fight, but I didn’t want her to leave, but what’s done is done. I wasn’t sure I wanted Amy as my Luna, she couldn’t fight either, but she sure knew how to spend money. She wasn’t that great in the sack, but she would let me do anything sexual to her.  She wasn’t a fan of anal but did what I wanted anyway. She was pretty and had a decent body.  There were a lot of she wolves that were sexy as hell, but at this moment I was wondering where that taxi was going and what Phoenix was up to.

Six years later Phoenix POV

I was squatting in the swamp waiting for the signal. I knew none would come. I could feel the leeches as they attached themselves one by one on my body. I heard low talking in the bush and waited. As the noise got closer, I shifted to maneuver the M16 to get it ready to fire. As I grabbed the rifle, my finger, the trigger finger, couldn’t fit into the trigger as there was a huge leech latched on.  I brought it to my mouth, released my canines and bit it off. Just as I got it off, I had just one second to pull my weapon and shoot two shots into my victims. No extra bullets lost, no noise. I crept out of the swamp and crawled over to an embankment, I had to still my mind and set up my shots. The Prime Minister, Guapo Tiko, just exited the compound when I put him down quickly. I returned to the swamp and waited for the army to sweep the swamp, which took about five hours. I had to release my aura twice to keep the massive crocodiles from coming my way.

The eighth hour I was finally able to leave the swamp and make my way to the rendezvous spot. I spent my walk there pulling 20 leeches from my body and hair. I felt a bit woozy from the blood loss, but I’d recover once I got back to the academy.

“Hey Phoenix, long time no see.” One of the guys on the extraction team said to me.

“Yeah, the sweep took longer than I anticipated.”

“Congrats Greeley.” My commanding officer said as he motioned me into his office. “Yes sir.”

I went into his office but couldn’t sit down as I was still filthy from the mission.

“Greeley, good job. I need you cleaned up and in my quarters in two hours.” He smiled and looked at me lustfully. What he saw in me presently was beyond me.

“Sir. Yes sir.” I turned and strut out of his office.  I spent the next two hours washing my hair, which is now almost at my waist. I’d found another two leeches in my hair, and I could finally feel clean, and my accelerated healing kicked in and I was starting to feel a lot better. I put my clothes on and made my way to the commanders quarters. Kyle was gorgeous. He was six foot five inches of firmly packed muscle, curly black hair and beautiful green eyes. We’d been bed buddies for a few years now and I couldn’t be happier. I knocked one time and went right in.

Kyle was lying in bed with both his huge arms behind his head. He looked at me beckoning me with his eyes. I slowly took my clothes off and I know Kyle appreciated the hard work I’d been putting in for years. I was a well-oiled machine, my arms were toned, my pudge was completely gone, and a six pack took its place. My waist was pinched and my hips full. The 42DD was now a 36DD with my breasts now firm and sexy. The round bottom I had was now rock hard yet still had that feminine softness that Kyle loved to grab. I enjoyed sex with him, even more when he moaned my name as I rocked his world. Years ago, he gently took my virginity and always made me feel like a goddess. His touch was magic, and the only problem was he wasn’t my mate or even my second chance mate. At this point I didn’t care. I always tried to remember that he would find his mate one day and that would be that. I was just going to ride this pony till the ride ended.

Speaking of riding, I rode Kyle furiously, his moans and groans spurring me on even faster and harder. He was breathless and if I let myself go, I could fall in love with him. I wouldn’t. I knew what it felt like to be rejected and I’d be damned before I let another she-wolf feel that same heartache.

I knew he was close. His breathing became shallower, and his face contorted in ecstasy, and that took me over the edge. I leaned down and kissed him passionately as he released deep inside of me. I shook and convulsed on top of him. I fell down next to him, and he held me and snuggled into my hair and was gone three clock seconds later. I followed.
