Crying Moon

Taking one for the Team

Anika's POV

Micah and I run into the packhouse. I already know what's to come and I'm dreading it. "Let me take control, I'll kill them both, I can take em." My wolf is already on edge, screaming in my head. Alpha Jackson and Luna Noelle approach, scowls on their faces and both of their gazes blaring into my soul.

"Are you serious? We have an important day tomorrow and here you are running around with your tramp." His mother, Luna Noelle spats at her son spitefully.

Her words hurt of course and boy did I hear some mean words coming from my wolf, but I cannot speak against our Luna. "Don't speak about your future Luna that way mom." His voice was calm but when he gripped my hand, I could feel him shaking.

I had never really cared if people liked me or not, but his parents were different. He loves them and they love him. I am an obstacle in their relationship as of now.

"It's fine, Micah." I say to him removing my hand from his and stepping forward slightly, clasping my hands behind my back. "I deeply apologize, this was all at my request, it is my fault, I'll accept any punishment you deem fit Alpha and Luna." I say bowing my head to the both of them.

Throughout my entire speech I had to over talk Micah as he tried to object to everything I said, shifting blame onto himself. Trying to get his parents to listen to him while I was trying to make sure all of their focus stayed on me. Of course they believed me though, it was easier to believe that I was always the one at fault.

The Luna Noelle steps forward and with a loud pop, I feel her hand glide across my face with speed, grace and strength.

Now looking to the right, I grab my cheek where the searing pain is shooting through my face enough to cause an instant migraine.

"MOM!" Micah steps in front of me. I could feel that he used his alpha command, it was probably his wolf since he would never speak to his parents with his alpha voice. Shielding me from them both, making sure to have a gentle grip on my wrist.

"You can't j-" I hear another smack, this time louder, I see the blood spew from his mouth and I gasp.

It wasn't the Luna that had just hit him, but the Alpha, and he held nothing back.

Obviously upset that he had made his mother, the Luna, submit to him because of me.

I see Micah stumble only a little and regain his composure quickly. He looks back up to his parents with his head bowed, not saying a word.

There is an awkward silence before the alpha's booming voice spoke. "Take her back home, then walk your ass back here, we need to have a talk." He glances over his son's shoulder to look at me and scrunch his nose before walking away.

Before he walks out of the room he says one last thing. "Anika Alice, I demote you to lieutenant, I will appoint a new General tomorrow as you've squandered my belief in your ability to be a good leader."

Sable's POV

I walk into the office after hearing my father gruffly say to come in. I didn't give him time to talk. "I think there are intruders in the Silver Spring pack, these two unidentified beings wer-" my father hits his hand on the desk, obviously irritated.

"We have bigger issues at the moment." He takes a swig of whatever liquor he had in his glass. I'm not much of a drinker so I wouldn't know. "Oh? And these bigger issues? Do they involve the s**t covered red head that doesn't know how to shut up?" I spit out at him showing him that I am not only aware of the reason he called me here but also that I am displeased with his reason. Lars, my wolf, growling in my head at the mere mention of that heinous woman.

"Enough, this is your mate son! She may not be bound to you by the moon but you accepted her. Now what? You just expect a ROYAL WOMAN to stand by your side when you've done nothing for her?" He squawks

My father was truly a moron, this is why I never wanted a Luna. I especially never wanted to find my mate..

Woman handle things differently. They lie and manipulate men with their bodies or just get in the way.

Men like my father are a dime a dozen and fall for every line a pretty and powerful woman spews. It was rather distasteful, this was another reason I felt a stronger need to get my throne as I've gotten older.

These idiotic men are so susceptible to lust when a woman simply bats her eyelashes at them, it's pathetic. I'll never let anyone control me.

Here my father is, being manipulated by some woman who doesn't care for anything other than her own comfortability. I needed to take over, before someone gets the upper hand on my father.

"As I've already said, she can go get some other male lycan if she wants fun or affection or something, I don't care. She isn't important right now. What is impo-"

My father is in front of me in an instant.

"She has threatened to leave if you don't start treating her good. If she leaves and goes back home to her father now, he will think the worst and any chance at peace between our territories will be gone." My father looked extremely defeated and if I were anyone else I would sympathize for him.

However, I am the next king, if I was already in charge none of this would have happened. My father is inadequate, ever since he lost my mother, his fated mate, he hasn't been the same.

I can't relate with him, so it's hard to sympathize. I've never loved anyone, I had my fair share of flings when I was only a century old. However the concept of love has stayed absent from me.

If anything I lose interest in woman rather quickly. Even if they are my type, which Rhianna most certainly isn't. She had curly wild red hair and freckles covered every inch of her skin. She had no curves and wore bras that were obviously too big for her to make her breasts look bigger and that, from the second I met her, was a huge turn off.

I liked woman who were athletic and yet soft. Size of their breasts never matter, although I can't lie about loving a big bottom. Most of all though, if I were to ever actually like a woman, it would be a woman who I feel is worthy of me.

I know that sounds cocky but, I will be a king, and that means that whoever I wed would be a queen, in every sense of the word. She would have to be able to handle the pressure of the moon and then some. My standards are truly way too high, I probably wouldn't want the moon goddess herself.

The thought of Rhianna being my queen makes my body shudder in the worst of ways. The urge to tell my father to cancel our marriage strong as hell. I know I can't cancel the engagement this far along, it would certainly cause strife between the northern and southern borders.

I was however ready to put up a fight about giving her affection, he's really asking something of this caliber of me? I don't do affection, hugs have never been apart of my life? I don't even know what to do and I wouldn't want to have to learn for someone who I despise in such a manner.

"Ick, if you have to touch her let me know first so I can give you full control." I can see my lycan cringing at the thought of just hugging her, but for different reasons than myself.

Before I opened my mouth with an argument, I remembered the intruders at Silver Spring pack. I needed to get my father on this as soon as possible. He wouldn't focus until I agree and if I don't, if I talk back right now he's just going to get angry and petty.

I grab my forehead suddenly being hit with an extreme migraine. "Ok, I'll fix it father." I said as coldly as I could. He picks up on it but I guess he decides against saying anything.

"Now, I need you to call this packs alpha and talk to him, ask him if we can set up a meeting with him and his pack to talk about the intruders. If they haven't already been attacked because miss priss wants her attention." I again say this in a cold voice. The fact that he prioritized that brat over a whole pack of wolves was more proof of his ineptitude.

I'm beyond pissed knowing what I'm going to have to go do once I leave here just to appease her and him both. I hand him the files, and he opens them beginning to read.

"Why do I care about two lovebirds?" He asks quirking up an eyebrow at me. For a second, I'm shocked that I made the mistake of grabbing that report with the rest. I quickly shake my head grabbing the report from him.

"Sorry that one wasn't supposed to be in there." I allow him to read the rest of the reports.

When he is done he looks at me. "Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'll see what I can do." He says and that's it, that's all I can do for now. I grit my teeth and walk out, without saying anything else.

I take a deep breath in and walk to her room. I knock and she opens the door.

She genuinely looks confused to see me but smiles and opens the door further for me to come in.

I hadn't actually planned on going in, but I did say I would try something. I walk in slowly shutting the door behind me. I turn and she is right in front of me, her lips almost touching mine.

"So, did you and your father talk?" She smiles innocently. "Yeah." Was all I said.

Her face goes into a pout instantly, pissing me off and making it hard to keep standing here. I exhale. "We can go on a date tomorrow, I'll set it up with Beta Nick." I say hoping that will be enough, my wolf makes a gagging sound.

She smiles and jumps to wrap her arms around my neck. My arms immediately go out to the side, I genuinely don't want her touching me. Next thing I know I feel her kissing me.

I put my hands on her shoulders and push her away, not having to use even half of my strength. I'm not going to kiss her. "Anyways, I'll see you then." I turn to leave but am stopped by her hand pressing the door as she stands behind me.

"I want to be with you tonight, if you can't prove to me, that you can one day give me an heir, then you're no use to me, and I'll be going home, it's as simple as that." It's funny, to have a woman say that to a male was new to me and made me cringe internally. It didn't make it any less egotistical and crappy just because she was female.

She runs her hands from my torso to the buckle on my pants, and leans in closer, allowing her breath to hit my neck as she speaks. "Make your decision now Sable."

Her voice let it be known she meant every word she was saying. I wasn't even sure I could get it up for her at this point, her seduction efforts were turning me off, but do I even really have a choice.

If I just let her go home to her father, it would definitely cause more harm than good. Unfortunately, I had to do this, if only for now, I could suck it up and get it over with at least one time.

I sigh feeling defeated, finally knowing how my dad felt. Woman like her are exactly the reason I never wanted to get married or even date. Men like my father are why I want to come to power, voice my opinion and become king, once I'm in power I dare someone to cross me in these ways again.

I turn around and meet her gaze, the girl wasn't ugly, she just wasn't my type, but now when I look at her I see her for what she really is, and that I can't unsee.

I push her down on her bed in one swift motion. I can't believe I'm doing this.

I climb on top of her, doing my best not to inhale too much of her scent as it is not appealing.

I flip her over so that she is lying on her stomach and facing the bed, so I don't have to look at her face. I roll up her skirt and push her panties to the side, I touch her and of course she's already wet. "If you lick that I will leave." My wolf says 100% serious.

Not like he even had to say anything though, I had no intention of tasting something I already wasn't fond of the smell of.

I close my eyes and try to imagine a girl I've previously slept with, one that was good enough to get me hard to be able to do this.

Unexpectedly I somehow thought up the image of a girl I've never seen before. First imagining how her face would look, blue eyes and black hair had always been a draw in for me, something about how blue eyes look contrasted against dark black hair was sexy. For some reason I imagined her with light freckles, even though, that is something I've never really been into, but I guess they wouldn't look so bad if there weren't many.

Then I try to imagine how her body would look, her boobs would be perfect not too big or too small and she would have a toned body. Not small and petite but smaller than myself. Her butt would look like a beautiful peach, flawless and smooth.

Suddenly I felt myself twitching and when I open my eyes I realize that I'm hard. I keep the image of that girl in my head, before gathering my courage and slamming into the red headed snake in front of me.

She let's out a loud moan, grabbing my legs without being able to look. She turns her head to the side to look back at me. I put my hand over her eyes forcing them closed, closing my eyes as well. I try to imagine that the girl I had imagined in my head was in front of me instead.

How she would look under me and how her moans would sound. I bet her voice would be as pretty as she is. I found myself reaching my climax rather quickly and held back nothing. I c*m inside her and open my eyes, already pulling out of her, glad that it's over.

She was breathing heavily and sweating, I stand up immediately fixing my clothes properly. It hadn't lasted long and I honestly hadn't expected her to be satisfied. She turns around and starts to beg me to keep going but I stop her. "I thought I was very clear about my feelings for you from the beginning? I don't like you and I'm not attracted to you. You asked if I can preform the act that would give us a pup to prove that I would one day and I did, I won't give you anymore and if you choose to leave then have at it, but remember this Rhianna, I will still become king, and when I am King your feminine wiles won't be enough to keep me from forming the alliance with your father and you know it." I smirk, she doesn't look so smug now

"I hope you enjoyed that, because I did not." I roll my eyes, turning away "Have a nice night." I say before opening the door and quickly leaving.

I felt physically ill and her scent was mixed with mine. I needed a shower and fast.
