Pain,that's all I could feel as my eyes fluttered open. I tried to untangle myself from Jake so I could go pee but the man didn't budge an inch instead he just groaned and squeezed me to him impossibly tighter. If I was just human I would have been suffering from a few broken bones.
I sighed as I took this opportunity to breath in his scent and memorize every feature on his face. He looked so peaceful asleep,his lips were swollen and a deep cherry red from all the kissing we did last night. I blushed at the thought of last night.
Lord have mercy last night was unbelievable,how could I have done all that!Never in my entire life did I ever dream of doing the things I did last night. I stared at his long dark eye lashes,his eye lashes were incredibly longer than mine-lucky jerk. He looked too adorable for his own good with his dark wavy hair falling all over his face.
He needed a hair cut,his hair was growing too long.His large muscled arm was holding me like I was his personal teddy bear,I smiled at how cute he was. He had a black werewolf tattoo on his upper right arm with a red rose circling it like a snake ready to swallow it's prey.It was pretty awesome though.
I attempted to untangle myself from him again because I felt like my bladder was about to burst but Jake was being grumpy and stubborn,he just growled at me. I smirked before gathering a lot of saliva in my mouth and licking his face leaving a trail of saliva.His eyes snapped open and he glared at me "What the actual...fuck was that for?"he asked releasing me with his right hand so he could wipe his face with the back of his hand.
I laughed at how disgusted he looked,he frowned at me making his dimples pop out...cute!
"I need to pee and you wouldn't budge."I said with a shrug almost escaping his arms but he grabbed my thigh with his left hand.
"So you licked my whole face?was that really your last option baby!"he grumbled while wiping his face on my thigh. I laughed at how silly he looked and how silly he was being right now.
I grabbed his hair "Jake stop it...I really need to pee!"I said and he sighed but let me go.I jumped off the bed,grabbed his t-shirt before wearing it and groaned at the pain as I walked,I felt like I had run a whole marathon and losing my virginity had its painful consequences as well. It hurt like a b***h and my muscles ached like hell.
I limped all the way to the bathroom and did my business. I flushed and looked at myself in the mirror,I gasped as I spotted red hickeys all over my neck,I peeked under his t-shirt and spotted more hickeys everywhere and marks that he left as well.I almost screamed in annoyance,how was I supposed to walk anywhere looking like a body design of love bites,I groaned.
More long sleeved turtle necks for me until they fade out. I limped back into my room and glared at him while he smirked at me, eyeing me from head to toe."I like this new look on you babe"he said as I climbed back on the bed.I smacked his shoulder and he scowled at me "seriously,abusive much?"
I groaned "Did you have to overdose the hickeys Jake!God you are just...just unbelievable"
He smirked pulling me closer to him until I was sitting on his lap,"That way everyone will know who you belong to."
I sighed "They already know you i***t,I look ridiculous."
"You look ridiculously beautiful,"he said with a growl " and you smell like me."he smiled hugging me to him like a cushion.
I giggled "Happy now?"
"Very..."he said putting me on my back and showering me with kisses.
*******
I went back to bed after our shower and Jake left for his Alpha business meeting with the royals that had arrived yesterday. I was still exhausted so I decided to sleep in before heading out to interact with my pack and ask elder Lesly about when I would start handling my business as a lunar since Jake and I had completed the mating ritual.
I woke up an hour later feeling a bit refreshed and awake.I got up cleaned my room and replaced the bloody sheets with a new set,Jake said I should just throw them in the trash so they would get burned but I protested. I mean the washing machine would just do fine cleaning the mess off ,no need to be so extreme when there were homeless people out there without blankets and here he was wanting to burn good sheets and s**t.
After cleaning up I wore my black high waist skinny jeans,a pink turtle neck long sleeved loose blouse then I slipped on my pink pumps.I left my long hair loose falling on my back,it needed some air and freedom from time to time.
I got out of the house and headed downstairs were I entered the elevator and it dropped me off on the first floor which was the pack house kitchen. I found Sophie talking and laughing with a red headed girl,she was really beautiful smiling with her bright green eyes.
It was cute how they both had red hair,they looked like sisters.I had texted Sophie earlier ensuring her that I had forgiven her for not returning because she sent a long text filled with 'I'm sorry,I am such a jerk and a bad friend' but it wasn't her fault. Jake told me that the royals needed her for a lot of pack work and updates plus he was already on his way to me so there was no need for her presence obviously.
I walked towards them and Sophie sensed my presence,she smiled at me and threw me in a huge bone crushing hug "Oh my God Priscilla!I was so worried,well,that was until you started screaming and moaning for like the whole damn night-girl!"she exclaimed "But I am glad you are okay,I still feel like a b***h for leaving you though."
I blushed at what she said "The whole pack house heard!?"I asked in horror.
She laughed "No don't worry,the Alpha's floor is sound proof,for a lot of reasons. I heard you when I came up later to apologize for being a total b***h but then I made a huge U-turn after hearing you two at it."
I blushed but sighed in relief,I don't know how I could ever face the whole pack if they heard me mating with their Alpha."Its okay Sophie,its not like we needed a third party anyways."I said with a smirk and she laughed.
"Oh my goodness how rude of me, Priscilla meet Anabelle Thorne. She is the daughter of Marcus and Elsa Thorne. They are the king's extended family.She is also my besty!"Sophie squealed "Anabelle this is Priscilla the lunar of the Silverstone pack and Jake's mate plus my newest bff."
Anabelle smiled at me kindly but there was something sad about that smile.Its like she knew something I didn't know but I ignored that thought. I was just being paranoid again."It's nice to finally meet you Anabelle."
"It's nice to finally have a face to all the great stories I have heard about you from Sophie here and a few pack members. Word travels fast,I am sorry about your loss though."she said with a frown.
I smiled at her,she seemed like a really nice person "It's okay Annabelle,I am just trying to leave the past behind and move on."
Annabelle nodded her head with a smile that reached her eyes brushing her pale white flawless manicured hand through her extremely long straightened red hair,it literally reached her ass. It was thick with volume and her fringe suited her so well.
She look like a Vogue magazine model with her slim body dressed in a bold red summer dress and and green wedges."You can call me Bella,I am happy you are moving on and you smell just like Jake now." she said silently. There was just something off about the last part of her statement,the way she said Jake's name so casually made my beast want to growled out loud at her but I pushed her back. There was no need to be jealous,Bella seemed harmless and she was definitely not Rebecca.
"Let's have some breakfast I bet you are hungry from all the activity you did last night with the Alpha."Sophie said bluntly making me want to melt away and just disappear from extreme embarrassment.Bella didn't laugh or smile at the comment,maybe she was just in deep thoughts.
We all helped each other make bacon,eggs,sausages,toast with melted cheese and some freshly squeezed orange juice. It felt so good preparing breakfast with these females,my wolf was happy but she was still unsure about Bella. Bella was nice but there was also something off about her."So Bella you are staying in Scotland,how is it over there?I have always wanted to visit but I never really got a chance especially after everything."
Bella smiled while she swallowed her toast,"Scotland is nice, beautiful,full of culture and great wolves. We live deep within the lands as a pack,we are very into the old tradition. Jake is taking over that's part of the reason why we are here. He is moving there since the Silverstone pack is expanding-"
"What!?"I almost choked on my bacon at the news,moving again. He never told me,I calmed myself down and spoke again "What do you mean Jake is moving,what about his pack here?"
"Oh don't you worry we are all moving to the highlands,king Zaviaric will be keeping an eye on the rest of the packs in New Orleans. This land is too small for us anyways,Silverstone is a constantly growing pack and we need more land which is up in Scotland.It is his actual birthright to rule those lands,he owns Scotsnight pack and every property on the Avalon land.If we stay here our population will outgrow this property and we can't go asking random nearby packs to take in some of our numbers. Our Alpha has great pride and he will not abondon his people. Plus he needs to move for his people in Scotland as well,they are very eager to have their Alpha at home."Sophie explained with pride.I understood now,Jake was doing this for his people and I had to support him as a mate.
I nodded,"So he is going to merge the two packs,how does each pack feel about that?"
"Scotsnight is okay with that as long as their Alpha is there with them.After the council removed our previous Alpha Amanidel because he wasn't the rightful heir to the title everyone was so pleased. He was a cruel spineless man. Afraid of anything and the Scottish wolves are wild and viscous creatures living by nature's laws. We need an Alpha with our blood running through his veins and that's Alpha Jake. The fact that stories of him and his hybrid beast have spread viral just make our people crave their rightful king even more."Bella said with a grin.
It all made sense now,Bella was in every way Scottish with her vicious red hair and green eyes,she was like a wild fire-I could see that. Would I even fit in with the Scot's.I was beginning to get a little frightened by the idea of living in the forest with wildlings.
I sighed "wow he sounds like a legend among your people."I commented,Jake sure did have wild blood running through his veins. I could see it clearly through his orange bloody eyes and that sinister dangerous smirk he always has on him. Even his height and body fit for a Greek God proved it all,he was in every way intimidating,wild but careful and calculating at the same time. Every move he made was clever and had a purpose-an aim-a goal.
"He is a legend,just like his parents were.He has the longest history alive you know. A long twisted one but Avalon is his and he will take it rightfully.I am just glad our people are finally in the right hands."she said eating her half done eggs somehow they disgusted me. I just wanted them fully cooked not dripping all over my plate.
"I am glad we are finally going to be together again,I missed you so much!"Sophie said with a huge smile and I smiled too.
Her happiness was contagious but my smile dropped when I felt him through our bond,he felt angry, conflicted,regretful and disturbed at the same time.I felt him when he reached the kitchen with another red headed lady who looked a bit like Bella but she had brown eyes and a giant man with a rugged look. He would be the very definition of a Scot's man straight from the wild with bright green clever eyes and a large braided beard .
Jake looked annoyed as hell and he didn't even look at me when they entered the kitchen.The woman with a short pixie red hairstyle smiled "hello I am Elsa,Bella's mother and a member of the lycan council."she introduced herself and I smiled at her although her smile didn't seem genuine but I ignored it.
"It is nice to meet you Elsa,I am-"
"Priscilla of course ,the hybrid witch."she finished after cutting me off and a growl escaped my mouth before I could catch it,my beast was pissed that she did not even identify us as our Alphas mate.
Marcus looked at me with amusement while Elsa simply ignored my growl."Well I am Marcus Thorne beta of the Scotsnight it is nice to finally meet ya my lady."he said with a bow.
I smiled at him,he seemed really nice and like a happy man "It is nice to meet you all as well."
"Well now that you have met we have a few announcements to make to the whole pack."Jake said coldly and I scrunched up my eyebrows. Something didn't feel right.
I nodded my head and we all followed him into the pack hall which was another large building outside. My heart was pounding so loudly I thought it was gonna drop out of my chest.There was a stage in the hall that we all climbed onto,people were already filling in the hall in large numbers.After a short while the hall was packed and some people even stood outside.
"Quiet!"Chris voice boomed and everyone stopped whispering and talking.He had greeted me and thanked me for not telling Jake about how he lost control and tried touching me. Honestly I told him to forget plus he was a good beta and it wasn't his fault.
Jake moved forward while we all stood behind him,"Today the Scotsnight and Silverstone have legally merged forming the largest pack world wide!" he announced and everyone cheered in happiness. I smiled because our pack was happy,larger numbers made us stronger and more powerful."We will be moving to our rightful land next week,where we will be welcomed by our people-our family!"people cheered at this as well.
They were glad they didn't have to be clustered on this land anymore.He smiled at the joy his people finally had,he had accomplished something great and I could feel his happiness plus his pride as well. "They will welcome their Alpha and their Lunar with pride,"he extended his hand to where Bella and I were standing. I almost walked forward to take his hand but froze in place when Bella quickly walked towards him taking his hand.
I blinked once and twice,this must be a sick joke. Everyone gasped in shock,they weren't expecting this as well.
