The New Mate

Chapter 7

Blaise

Landon narrowed his eyes slightly at Blaise as Lauren gave him a quick kiss and left the room. Blaise waited for the two men to sit back down before returning to their work.

“The trade agreement with the Crystal Moon Pack was tentatively accepted.” Quinn was saying, but Blaise couldn’t take his eyes off Landon’s. He respected the man, but he was giving him a look that made Blaise feel like he owed him an explanation and he didn’t have one.

“Spit it out before it chokes you.” Blaise said bitterly to Landon. Landon looked at Celia then back to him.

“I’m sure the two of you can manage without me.” Landon spoke standing up without taking his eyes off Blaise. “There’s training to see to. Alpha, Beta. Celia.” He said her name with tenderness making Blaise tighten his grasp on her thigh as she bowed her head in his direction and Landon left his office.

“Do you want me to get him back?” Quinn asked and Blaise shook his head as he sighed. He looked up to see Quinn give Celia a wink and he let out a low growl. Quinn smirked and popped the folder in his hand closed. “So much for taking it slow.” He walked over to his office bar and filled a couple glasses with amber liquid. “None for you, you’ve had enough.” Quinn said to Celia with raised brows and she gave a small triumphant smile as he handed one to Blaise before sipping his own. Blaise drank the liquid down without removing his hand from her and sat back in his chair. “He’ll get over it.” Quinn reassured him. Blaise hadn’t had a woman so possessively in his presence since Evelyn and he wondered what Landon really thought about all this.

Quinn took Blaise’s glass, refilled it and brought it back to him with the crystal decanter in hand. Quinn leaned against the desk as he watched his friend drink the liquid down, then poured another.

“What are you doing?” Blaise asked and Quinn silently urged him to take the glass in his hands.

“Just leveling the playing field.” Quinn flashed a coy smile and leveled his gaze. “Take the day off. We’ve got this.” Quinn suggested and Blaise shook his head.

“There’s too much to be done.” Blaise argued and Quinn shrugged slightly.

“Work can wait. It’d be a shame to waste that dress.” He smirked and Blaise felt Celia stiffen slightly, making his blood run hot. A slow smile spread across his face and he stood, taking Celia’s hand in his to help her stand. Her face flushed and her eyes widened a bit as she looked between the two.

“If Sheila calls…” Blaise began as Quinn moved to put the tumblers in the sink.

“I’ve got this Blaise. Take the day.” Before he could turn back around, Blaise was heading back to his room with Celia in hand.

As soon as the door was closed, Blaise had her pinned to it. The sound of her gasp and the feel of her slight trembling made his wolf fight for control again. He nudged her neck with his nose and inhaled her scent. He pressed his body against hers, feeling her breath turn to heated pants.

“I can’t get enough of you.” He barely spoke in her ear and he felt her relax into him. He pulled away to look in her eyes and held her head, rubbing his thumb on her cheek. He fought himself as he searched her eyes, then attacked her mouth; deepening the kiss as she gave in. He felt her hands rub up his chest and come around his neck to pull him closer and the feel of her had him rubbing his hands further down her body.

Blaise lifted the fabric covering her core and slowly pressed his thumbs against her wetness. She inhaled against him and he smiled against her mouth. He pulled away from her swollen lips and searched her eyes again as he began to slide his fingers down her c**t. He could see her struggling to maintain some control and he yearned to make her lose it. Blaise sucked in her bottom lip for a moment then slid down to his knees; suckling and squeezing her body on his way to her center.

He widened her legs and let his tongue lap at her slit. Celia inhaled as she let her head fall back against the door. Blaise held her thighs tighter as he continued to lick her, just below the bundle of nerves. Her soft moans increased and he took her c**t in his mouth, making a deep groan come from her throat. As her juices flowed out more, Blaise lapped them up like they were his last meal. His tongue teased inside her a couple times and her hands tangled in his hair. He felt them run down the back of his neck and back up and he took her c**t in his teeth. Celia tightened her hold on his hair as she came close to her orgasm.

Blaise increased his assault until he felt her body release and tremble. He cleaned her p***y with his tongue, heating her again and ran up her body.

“You taste incredible.” He pressed his body into her, his hard member pushing against her stomach as he kissed her mouth, tangling his tongue with hers. She fought for domination and he wrapped his arms around her back as he brought his hand to tug her hair tightly. She let out a whimper as she gave into his dominance. Suddenly a heavy knock came at the door they were still pressed against.

“Alpha.” Quinn’s voice sounded. Blaise pressed his forehead to hers as he slowed his breathing. He knew Quinn wouldn’t have bothered him if it wasn’t necessary.

“What is it?” Blaise let out in a throaty growl.

“Madik’s at the Southern border with council demanding entrance.” Quinn said through the door.

“He’s not stepping foot on my lands.” Blaise growled at the door pressing his body into her further as she began to shake. Her hands tightened around his shirt and he met her fearful eyes.

“I know. Landon’s waiting downstairs with the first twelve.”

“I’m on my way.” Blaise said as he kept his eyes on her.

“He’ll tear your pack apart to get to me.” She whispered. The pain in her voice made him wince.

“He’s not getting you.” He said rubbing her cheek gently.

“You don’t understand.” She began.

“He’s not getting you.” He said more firmly and kissed her before placing his forehead back on hers. “You’re mine. You’re not going anywhere.” He pulled away from her to steady himself. “Go to the bedroom. I’ll send Lauren up and post guards in the hall.” She hesitated slightly then rushed to the bedroom. Blaise took in a deep breath and set his mind firm as he headed out the door.

They rode in three SUVs out to the Southern border where four of his guards were surrounding Madik and a member of the council. There was a twenty year age gap between Blaise and Madik and the only thing they shared was a father. Blaise hated Madik and remembered when he was young and forced to summer with him to learn the ‘family business’. Madik had taken after their father and Blaise had learned what not to do after being forced to learn how they treated people, especially women.

The councilman was one on the lower rung. Much older than Blaise or Madik, but he was always around to keep the rules in check. He never made direct decisions like some of the oldest, but he played everything by the book and Blaise had respect for that.

They exited the vehicles and the first twelve set up a perimeter further out around them to ensure safety as Blaise approached the two men, Quinn and Landon just behind him.

“Councilman Gersan. To what do we owe this honor?” Blaise said with a bow of his head, completely ignoring his brother.

“Alpha Blaise, thank you for seeing us on such short notice.” He spoke politely. “I know how difficult these family matters can be for the Shadow Pack. We wanted to make a formal request to search your packlands for a rogue agent.”

“Absolutely not. What is the basis of your information?” Blaise spoke evenly.

“I know she’s here Blaise. I can smell her on you.” Madik said with a twisted smile and Blaise took a step towards him only to stop when the councilman stepped between them.

“You are not welcome on these lands or near them, so be cautious.” Blaise warned.

“She likes it a little rough, doesn’t she? Much different than your Luna. How is she doing?” Madik teased and Blaise let out a deep growl, followed by a dangerous growl from Landon and Quinn’s followed. Gersan gave Madik a look and stepped between them again.

“Gentleman.” The councilman said loud and firm gaining everyone’s attention. “We did not come here to start a war. Right Madik.” He said firmly. “The loss of your Luna has been felt far and wide and I have always respected your wishes as far as your territory lines are concerned. However, this is something else. It seems a hybrid has escaped captivity.”

“Hybrids are illegal.” Blaise said looking from the councilman to Madik, who gave a shrug.

“There has been some experimentation on the subject.” The councilman offered.

“What type of hybrid?” Quinn asked. The councilman handed Blaise a manila envelope.

“Everything we know is in there along with photos from the latest crimes. She may seem ordinary, Alpha Blaise but, I assure you, she is quite dangerous. We were hoping to have this put to rest before involving the rest of the council and god-forbid international. I’ll let you look that over and we’ll set up another meeting. Perhaps on neutral ground next time? Come Madik, we’ve overstayed our welcome.” The councilman turned to leave the border and Madik stepped to Blaise.

“Remember the summer’s Blaise? It’s like camp for her. I know you helped her shut me out, but I’ll get back inside her again.” He spoke quietly with a twisted smile and Blaise clenched his fists trying to keep from attacking him. Madik followed the councilman and Blaise mindlinked the twelve to see that they left the boundaries.

The thought of Celia enjoying anything that Madik would do made him sick and he looked down at the envelope. He needed to know, but he was sure that opening it would change everything. He made his way back to the SUV with Landon and Quinn behind him.

When they made it to his office, Blaise opened the envelope and looked at its contents. He dropped each paper on his desk as he reached for another, letting the other two men look at them. After scanning each photo he leaned on the desk, still standing, and clenched his jaw tightly. He looked at his two men who were looking back with concern and spoke in a low, deep voice.

“Get her.”
