Lost and Alone, but Never Broken

Chapter 18 - Step Down

I waited on the make-shift stage we set up for pack announcements and gatherings. The oval was loud with the excitement and chatter of all present. With Erica off the property and the assumed knowledge that no female wolves in my pack would dare challenge my authority, or aim for the position as Luna, my panic from earlier had dissipated significantly.

My every fibre came to life, as I felt the presence of my Flicka. As she approached, her scent lined the air intoxicating my every breath. I still could not understand how someone so small, so weak, so adorable could have survive for a long period of time as a rogue. Surely, at some point she was with other people, protected from the world. That thought in itself created a point of unease within me, did a man protect her. Was she overly friendly with him, like she was with Adam. Did her scent linger on him… did his scent linger on her when they were together?

The unknowns of her past were quite unsettling. Seeping in… the seeds of jealously and possessiveness cut underneath my skin. The fact alone that right now she was so close, yet I could not see or hold her was utterly earth shattering. My skin itched with the anticipation, seeking her touch as I searched the crowd. Eventually my eyes landed on Bec, walking out the main building with my little Flicka at her side.

My breath hitched in my throat as my eyes latched onto her little figure. She was flawless, her skin, her clothing, her everything. “Mine”, the word reverberated through my whole being as my c**k stirred in my pants. All eyes that were on me followed my line of sight reaching Fee. Having so many male eyes lingering on her body and delicious curves, I could not help wanting to rip out all of their eyes.

Jumping down from the platform, I strode to her side, a harsher snarl then I intended warding off their eyes. The closer I moved towards her, the calmer my wolf became. The second I grew close enough, she spotted me, her eyes watching me intently as she inched closer reaching out her little arms to me. The second I leant down lifting her to my chest, her legs wrapped firmly around my waist as I placed a soft wet kiss to her lips.

It was a mistake, the second I pulled away… I craved more, needed more, but this was not the time nor the place. The bulge in my pants grew as I turned, walking her to the stage. Reaching the base of the stage, I lifted Fee from my chest setting her on stage before jumping up behind her. All eyes were trained on us, just waiting for me to introduce our new Luna.

Waiting in silence, curiosity flew through the pack mind links. A string of dark thoughts emerged moving through the pack links like wildfire, some of disappointment and unease. “Weak”, “not good enough”, “will weaken the Pack”, these were just some of the negative comments and emotions flowing through the Pack’s inner monolog. Rage blurred my vision, how dare they! How dare they judge their Luna, the moon goddesses handpicked choice. She was perfect! She was mine!

Standing tall, I looked out upon my pack with disappointment at their utter lack of respect. Not all power and strength is physical, I didn’t think I would need to explain that to my pack. I thought we had those values installed in the very foundation of all of my members. The thought that a wolf would try and challenge my Flicka sent my chest in shambles. If this is how the pack thought, maybe someone would be bold enough to challenge her.

The only way I could think of rectifying this, to at least get through the ceremony was with my own strength. Gripping Fee, I pulled her tightly to my body engulfing her own as I released an aura of authority, demanding obedience from all members. All bearing their necks in submission to my will, I continued protectively holding Fee. Making it more then obvious that any wolf who dared to challenge her, would feel the full brunt of my wrath.

“Oh no.” The words escaped me as I inhaled her scent, it was too late.

“I Erica challenge that she wolf for position as Luna in Starlight Pack.” Erica stood of to the side of the stage, blood smearing her body and clothes. She had fought her way in. It was okay, this would be okay. I could fix this, composing myself as much as possible I was already going through the possibilities in my mind. What if I did offer Erica the Luna position, and had Fee on the side. No, that would be humiliating for her, even if I didn’t bed Erica. Though to be Luna, I would need to mate with her at least once to complete the marking. s**t! What were my other options?

There was only one way out, and I was going to take it, “I, Alpha Tristan, step down as..”

Before my sentence was completed giving in my resignation to the pack, Fee spoke quietly next to me, though loud enough that everyone could hear. “I accept your challenge…. We fight… as wolf.”
