Before in my pack, everyone strived on dignity and pride where our leaders were about the pack. But slowly in this new day age, it was all about what you have to offer. My pack was doing what they could to survive. You had to make your own purpose. What was my purpose? That’s how I ended up here. I wasn’t good at anything but causing issues. Elders and kids were the only ones who didn’t have to do their part because they are either too young or too old. Being in the Kangston pack meant that we had a name to uphold. The pack was known for being successful everywhere because they think we all had to agree to be where we are. They said we needed to find a career by a certain date or they chose for you. There was only one thing that I was known for and that was my killer curves. Curves that kill and carry such a good pup for when it’s needed. Imagine that being your only calling. So I did what I knew best, I opened up a strip club that I currently dance at too. When people found out there was an outrage and it caused a town meeting to be called to try to close it down. But the Alpha thought it was a glorious idea and it would make them a lot of money when I paid my dues. If anything, I think he enjoyed it more than anyone.
He was a single man, so any chance he got he would come down just so he could feel my waist as I danced on him. I knew that if I wanted to be a part of something I had to use what I had. And you know I love it. Being desired and wanted. God forbid after 28 years I stopped wondering if my mate was out there looking for me. Through these new years, most people never waited and I was part of those. As I let my Alpha have me a few times. I think it’s crazy to determine you’re celibate until your mate comes. As a woman, you have desires, and especially once our time of the month finally ends our hormones are crazy. Alpha Jack, was attractive and single so why not. Not to mention we were good friends because of this. There were no feelings attached and we had fun. We could hang out normally and just enjoy each other’s company. I think deep down we both have some sort of feelings but should our mate come we don’t want to be too far deep for a broken heart. The best part about Jack is he never saw me as disgusting or a slut for what I do. He says he respects it because I was comfortable with my body and was good at it. Plus it made him money. It was 5 in the afternoon and it was time to open my club to get the night started. I walked to the front door and put the key in as the girls were waiting for me to open it.
“Athena, I swear if you don’t open that door faster I will break it down. It is freezing!” Layla had demanded.
It was a colder night than most, even as a wolf. I finally pushed the door open and was almost ran over. I couldn’t help but laugh as everyone scrambled in. The club didn’t open for about an hour, but most like to get in early so they can get a song pick. If you get in later then you have to dance to whatever you got.
My girls were taken care of really well, and most men are respectful unless the youngins get really drunk. Making my way over to my office to get everything prepared.
“Hey Athena, how are you?”
Jack had walked in sitting in the chair across from me.
“Good, just getting payroll in order. Why are you here so early? I can’t serve you right now.”
He laughed at my comment which made me lookup.
“I just wanted to ask you if there was a chance you could make a last-minute VIP space next week. I know you have to ask months in advance but it’s important.”
I looked to him in distaste. He knew the rules but then again he was the Alpha. I stopped what I was doing, stood up, and walked over to my calendar hanging on the wall.
“I have two birthday parties that day. It’s really packed. For how many people.”
I looked at him as he had the softest guilty look on his face.
“My brothers are coming down for my sister’s birthdays. I want all of them to relax as lately they’ve been busy with their packs.”
I stood there thinking of what I could do.
“All 16 brothers are coming?” I asked shocked.
which he answered with a nod. I let out a sigh because he was my Alpha and I couldn’t say no.
“I will close that day for just VIP’s and have you both upstairs with complimentary dances.” He rose from his seat laying a kiss on my cheek.
“Thank you. I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t important.” I let my eyes meet the back of my head.
“Don’t think for a sec that you won’t get out of tipping my girls or me. You may be my Alpha but we all got bills to pay.”
He placed his hands on my waist and placed a kiss on my lips.
“I don’t know I may rent you for the rest of the night.” I slapped his chest which caused him to laugh out loud.
“I have a lot of work to do, so unless you want to get paid then you should go,” I demanded. He started pouting before kissing me again and headed for the door.
It took me a few hours to finally finish what I had to before I knew that I wanted to dance the stress away. I stood and reached for my locker to open it. Pulling out my laced underwear that hugged my ass. And my see-through top. The door opened up.
“Hey Athena, are you busy?” I turned around to see Kenzie, one of the dancers was behind me.
“I am about to go on, but I can spare a few minutes. What’s up?”
I reached my chair to sit as I put my platforms on.
“I hate to put you in an awkward position. But I have a friend who ran from her pack due to violence and is seeking refuge. Since she is not from this pack she can’t get a regular job, and I was hoping that you’d give her a chance and I will teach her everything since you audition everyone. Please, you’re her last hope.”
I let out a heavy sigh as she is putting me in a bad position. Packs should never interfere with other pack’s business. But I understand that this may be her last hope and have to be subjected to more pain.
“You do realize my entire club can be shut down and I can get into a lot of trouble, should the Alpha find out?” I looked at her which caused her to look at me in guilt.
“I know you are the Alpha’s favorite, can you talk to him? I just want to help her.” I buckled the last strap and stood up.
“You’re lucky he owes me one, and I am getting ready to dance. This is not a definite answer, I will tell you later.”
I grabbed my money bag and locked the door behind us. Nothing like being the Alpha’s pet.
A week has passed since the whole ordeal and I was feeling at peace but it was time for me to finally come to a decision. I had to decide which guy I was going to be with for the rest of my life. I know they gave me space but no one deserves to be the second choice. I showered and got changed for the day and hesitated to go downstairs but I did. I walked downstairs and everyone was there. “Hey Goddess, good morning.” I kept hearing that around and I just smiled and nodded because what does someone say to that? Ryn came over and jumped into my arms which is different. She used to be so different. But I think now that she has both her fathers in her life she feels whole. I sipped on my coffee and just relaxed and watched everyone live their life in solace. My job was to make sure people had mates and I finally restored life. No more loneliness and no more feeling empty inside. People were starting families and living life. And that’s exactly how it shou
We all gathered outside and the fire was started. There has never been a joining ceremony like this before but there is a first for everything. Vincent went on his speech about loyalty and honor while we stood in a circle. You would think that it was some kind of cult but in a twisted way but this is how we do it. He continued on before he walked to each and every single one and completed the blood ritual. That includes him biting his wrist and each of us taking it down. And then he had gotten to me. He stood in front of me. “I love you. I hope one day you will be my Luna. But I am happy we are here.” He went to bite his wrist. But instead, I grabbed his clean wrist and took a bite for myself. And took down his blood and pulled back. He used his thumb to wipe the excess blood from my lip. And just like that, we were connected. It seems so taboo but I was able to mind-link him and everyone here. “Well isn’t this sw
The time was finally coming. I was still mad but it helped improve my fighting. We’ve been having random attacks to the point where we had to have someone on guard each night. She was coming to us because the numbers were getting larger and larger. And I was nervous. I let the hot water run down my body. Each aching muscle in my body. What if I go out there and embarrass myself. I left my head up and rubbed my skin with my loofa. “I know just what you need.” I looked back and there was Jack. Exactly, what I needed. I turned around and connected my lips with his just devouring his lust with mine. He lifted me by my ass and held me against the shower wall still kissing me. I opened my mouth and wrestled with his hungry tongue before his member found my entrance and he was inside of me. Releasing all the built of anger while he slammed in and out of me. It wasn’t something that went on a long time but enough to feel
Finally, showering and going downstairs was a true packhouse. There were tons of people around. Kids running around. Everyone is eating and having a great time. “Good Morning Casanova.” I heard Jack say. “Shut up. This hangover is enough. Now someone gets me some coffee please?” I sat down at the table and laid my head on the table and the smell of coffee was at my nose. “Did-” I was interrupted. “Vanilla and Sugar and just a sprinkle of coffee. Got it.” Forgot Jack knew my ass so well. “Thank you.” Today was a day of relaxing and this hangover was going to get the better of me. We had a large park to fight with us. This was going to end hopefully soon. “Enjoy it now Athena, because tomorrow we get started. We are going to make you one hell of a fight. You have about 30 Alpha’s who trained that are ready to train you. I didn’t expect it to be this hard. I had fallen asleep a
I started grabbing my clothes and getting everything together. I am so tired of people giving me ultimatums like I am not someone who can make choices for myself. If the Goddess wants a fight then that's exactly what she is going to get. I let someone make my decisions for me all the time and this time it’s war. I was born a farm girl but got damn it,I am stronger than they think I am. “Did you mean what you said?” I turned around and saw Jack and Vincent standing in the doorway. I think for the first time we had an understanding. We were fighting against each other and behind each other's back. But this time we are fighting together. “I do. Jack, you were always my Alpha and you took care of us. But Vincent was born one. He was able to break the spell and be an Alpha and there is no one I’d rather be under than him.” Then my words kind of turned more sexual than strong. Which the stupid boys in them came out as the
We all stood there waiting for her to turn around and explain what happened. I think she was trying to process it at the same time. Vanessa was someone who held a lot of pain in and never asked for anything loyalty but she had demons that ran so far back. Rejected, daggered, buried alive, abused. “Luna, what do you mean you tried to kill my sister?” I asked her as I walked closer to her. “It wasn’t her but the body she was in before. When she was born she caused chaos. She was the reason things were out of order. A child with two fathers’ DNA led to a strong wolf. My dad didn’t know that he was also a father and when he did he became obsessed with it. He avoided his family and I was just the adopted human baby with a mix over every supernatural character. I was angry and jealous but it wasn’t that. This curse didn’t only affect the goddess but it affected everyone. She was miserable being with someone ot
