Chapter 7: A Surprise

Third Person

Kian and Kaleb sat in the conference room with the headmaster, the Board of Directors, and other high-ranking administrators. They were easily twenty years younger than everyone else in the room; however, they held the highest rank among the Superiors, earning them undeniable power and prestige. Everyone was trying to kiss their ass as usual, trying to get them on board with special projects that would inevitably cost a fortune. They all wanted their Clan's patronage.

They spent the last two hours in this never-ending meeting. Even their inner wolves were bristling. They had twenty proposals for new budgets; both guys passed notes like children, with creative ways to end their misery and the occasional dirty note about Emmy. Kaleb’s wolf, Cerberus, and Kian’s wolf, Xerxes, had been relentless in sending the most inappropriate thoughts over the last few days, and every one of them had Emmy in them. The beasts were practically salivating at a chance to cuddle with her.

Saved by a ding on their phones, there was an active conversation in their Clan group chat that brought a smile to both of their faces while reading:

Hades – Uncle signed the app. Emmy is now ours officially.

Griffin– K + K, bring her home. I want her now. Chrysus is fighting me more. He needs her in his den otherwise, this motherfucker might go prematurely feral.

Hades – We agreed she shouldn’t come home until Friday, Griff. Hold your balls.

Griffin– I thought that was now Emmy’s job?

Hades – Griff, not now. And tell that big puppy to stand down.

Griffin – Yes, now, Hades. We have waited too fucking long for our Princess. I need her in my arms and in my bed. Don’t fucking tell me you have Zeus under control. He’s the worst of us all.

Hades – Griffin Darius, enough! Whining is not an attractive quality for you. K/K, keep an eye on Emmy and bring her home Friday after school like planned. We will get the house ready for you all.

Kaleb – yes, Sir!

Kian – you got it, boss!

This clan was particularly unique as each member had special talents and a few unnatural gifts. They were also the second wealthiest and most influential clan after the King himself. Hades, Griffon, Kaleb, and Kian were all extremely powerful Superiors, and each of their wolves was a top Alpha in every way. Hades was the Commander General and also part of the Senior Royal family. This meant Hades was Gold Star status, and therefore all the other dominants in the clan were Gold Star rank too. They had ownership rights and operated about half of Territory 1, including the university, where they sat as the Proxy for the President of the Board.  Kian and Kaleb had been best friends since birth; their mothers were childhood friends and delivered them within minutes of each other in the same room. They loved sharing everything. This made their sexual endeavors always a bit more adventurous, which is why when Hades offered them both to join his Clan, they jumped at the opportunity. The boys smirked at the thought that, in two short days, Emmy would be joining their family whether she liked it or not.  

Hades and Kaleb in particular needed a pure submissive for their beasts, and both of their beasts scented Emmy well before she went for the tests. They sensed her submissiveness years ago, and she was claimed. Ever since that day, they have never looked at another woman. What they want, they get, and they all wanted Emmy, so they made it happen. She was the stubborn one who waited those extra years.

Kian decided to check in on their princess by discreetly putting in his ear pod and pulling up the hidden video camera feed they installed in the private library office Emmy was in, just in time to see Maggie handing Everly a small white envelope while they sat at the little conference table. He turned up the volume and listened to their remarkably interesting conversation…

“You still planning on waiting three more weeks before leaving, Em?” Maggie asked, holding her teacup. Kian raised his eyebrows, and his jaw tightened.  

“No. I need to leave by Friday, I think. I don’t have a choice, Mags. I am like a meal for these starving animals. And Kian and Kaleb are making my emotions all jumbled, and my insides are doing somersaults.” Emmy said, holding herself.

“Welcome to the world of being a submissive, dear,” Maggie chuckled, lifting her tea before taking a sip.

“I must escape while I still get a chance, Mags. I can’t be a submissive. I will be ruined, and I know that if I give in to these feelings, I'll be pregnant with a litter before the end of the year!  All of my assignments are done, and my exams are all online. I don’t need to go to the final classes. I can go to a public library once I am out of the Northern sector to take the exams and then have them send the degree to you. When it’s safe, I’ll send you my location as we planned.”

“Okay. We can ask your protectors if you can spend the night at my house tomorrow night. You can use the tunnel to reach the safe house, then use the car to get to Braxton Hills. My cousin already has everything ready for you. By the time they come to get you Friday afternoon, you will be long gone.”

“Thanks, Mags! I don’t know what I would do without you.”

Kian and his beast started to fume. He quickly tapped Kaleb, handed him the extra earbud, and pulled his attention to his phone. He rewound the footage and replayed it. Kaleb looked just as shocked, then a devious smile formed as his beast surfaced, daring his little temptress to push his buttons more. They always enjoyed a good game of chase, and his conquest would be the sweetest treasure of them all.  

They whispered to each other to end the meeting, which they did in haste, much to the grumblings and complaints of several members who didn’t get a chance to voice their latest endeavors. Kian and Kaleb rose from their seats, silenced the conference room, and made their way to the spare office, typing furiously in the group chat. Once they wrapped up their conversation, they hurried down to their car to meet up with Emmy, blissfully unaware that her carefully thought-out plan was about to be spoiled.
