Ava's POV
We were leaving the spa, and I knew my sister had given in to daddy's demand that she marry this man. She was quiet all day here and not her usual cheery self. I really didn't care though. I wasn't going to marry anyone but my mate. I cried and pleaded with daddy about it and used the excuse of his retirement and that if Celia found her mate the pack would go to them. Since he didn't have a son, the first daughter to find their mate would get the role of Alpha and Luna and I wasn't losing that. It would be me.
I had looked hard for six months but wasn't able to find him and then I got lonely looking and gave into temptation. I could have fun and still look for my mate. That fun came in a muscular package, with these gorgeous hazel eyes and lips that were so full and soft. Joey wasn't my mate, but he did fill the lonely void I had. We had been sneaking around for about three months now and no one was the wiser.
"Hey sexy, I haven't seen you all day," Joey linked me as soon as we pulled into the pack grounds.
"Sorry, I had a spa day with my mom and sister for her birthday. I can meet you now."
"Perfect, meet me in my room in ten minutes." He said and then cut our link. I knew exactly where this was going, and my panties were wet just thinking about it.
As soon as the car was parked, I jumped out and went inside. I sent a link to my best friend Brittany to cover for me. She knew what we were doing and always covered for me.
I slipped through the pack house and didn't run into anyone. I went straight to Joey's room and opened the door, and he was standing by the door.
"God, I've done nothing but think about you all damn day. I need you right now," he said right before kissing me.
I broke the kiss and dropped to my knees. I undid his pants and slowly pulled them down along with his boxers. He had a drop of precum that had leaked out and ran down his hard shaft. I licked the trail it had taken tasting him as I went. Coming to his head I swirled my tongue around the top and then took him into my mouth as far as I could.
"f**k, Ava," he groaned out and I picked up my pace. He continued to let out groans and grunts as I took him all the way to the back of my throat.
He pulled out and pulled me to my feet. "I need to be inside you now. This is going to be quick because you have me all worked up," he said as he pushed me to the bed and when my knees hit the bed, he pushed my front half over. He flipped my skirt up and when he saw I had a black thong underneath he growled.
I heard the rip of the condom wrapper being open and then his hands pushed my thong to the side, and he slipped a finger inside of me. "Jesus' baby, you are soaked."
He removed his fingers and lined up and thrust inside in one hard pump. I let out a loud scream at the fullness of him.
"Baby rub your c**t, make yourself come."
I spread my legs a little further and brought my hand down and started to rub it in tight hard circles. He grabbed my hips and started pounding into me hard. I was going to have fingerprint bruises from his grip. I loved it.
"Oh god Joey," I moaned, getting so close to coming.
"Hurry baby, I'm going to," he started to say but his o****m hit him right before mine did.
I was still laying across the bed with my ass in the air catching my breath. Joey came back over and straightened out my thong, slapped my ass and pulled my skirt back down and then pulled me backup and into his arms.
"Thanks, baby. I've been needing you all day."
"That was great, but now I have to go get ready for the party tonight. Supposed to be with my mom and sister, but I need to talk with Brittany first."
"Save me dance tonight?"
I just kissed his cheek and walked out of his room. Making sure the coast is clear I hurried down the hallway and straight to the ballroom. I knew Brittany was still there.
Walking into the ballroom I took a look around and while it looked nice it didn't compare to what I had last year. Where Celia had white roses and red lilies, I had white and pink roses. I had twinkling lights that blinked and made the whole room look like it had sparkles and she had red and white Christmas lights and honestly just didn't look good.
I made a beeline for Brittany as soon as I saw her. "Girl, we need to talk." I told her.
"If this is about the s*x you just had I don't want to hear about it. I'm not getting any right now and so I don't need to hear about your amazing sexcapeds."
"No, it's about my dad." I told her and she turned and was all ears now.
"He tried to marry me off to some Alpha. Well, he's not an Alpha but he would have been had he not gotten sick and also he is going to die."
"What? Why would he do that?"
"Well, it's Alpha Walker's son from the Mountain Moon Pack and they are the ones who saved us from the rogue attack years ago. My dad says we owe him, and this is the least we can do."
"You told him no right?"
"Of course. I tricked him into making Celia do it. She has to marry him and have his child before he dies. Apparently, he has like a year and half to live."
"That's horrible. Why are they wanting to marry him off and force someone to have his baby?"
"Because they had no other kids and no one to carry on their lineage. Which is the excuse that I used to make Celia do it. She isn't technically blood related and so if she happened to find her mate while I was married to this guy then the pack would go to her and her mate."
"Really it would?"
"I don't know but that's what I told him, and he went with it."
"I feel bad for your sister but glad that you're not leaving me."
"I wasn't going to do it. I had to pull out the big tears and practically beg him. He first said that she should get the same year I did but I wasn't going to do it. Celia isn't blood and doesn't deserve to be Luna of this pack. That is my job. Always has been and always will be."
I heard someone running out of the room and when I turned to look, I saw Celia running from the room. s**t I really hoped she didn't hear me. I mean we weren't close, but I didn't want her to know that I did that and basically forced her hand.
"I need to go make sure that she didn't hear me." I told Brittany and walked out of the ballroom and straight up to our floor. I listened at her door but didn't hear anything, so I knocked, and she didn't answer.
"Ava, in here," my mom said, poking her head out of her room.
I took a deep breath and walked to my parents' room. My mom had left the door open. I hesitated before going in. I was preparing myself for the tears of Celia if she heard me but when I walked in Celia was sitting in a chair touching up her makeup. Something she wasn't very good at. She never wore it.
"Would you like some help with that?" I asked walking over to her. Getting close I could see her eyes were slightly red. I wasn't sure if it was from crying
"Thanks, I'm not good at this stuff."
I just smiled at her and picked up the makeup brush and got started on touching everything up. It didn't take long, and it was done and then I moved on to her hair. I fixed a few curls and put some more hairspray on it.
My mom stood back and took some pictures of us as I worked on her. Turning her in her chair, I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and we both smiled for the camera.
"You girls look so beautiful." She said look at us with tears in her eyes.
"Mom, don't cry. It's just a birthday party."
"It's not that. It's that you're both grown up into such wonderful women. I couldn't be prouder to call both of you, my daughters."
Celia let out a snort but covered it up with a cough and then got out of her chair. "I need to go get dressed." she said and walked out of the room.
"Ava, you know your sister is going to marry Alpha Walker's son next week and it's going to be hard on her. Please be extra nice and when she leaves maybe try to stay in contact with her. Make an effort to have a better relationship with her."
"I will mom. Now I need to go get dressed as well. I'll meet you guys down there."
"Are you sure you don't want to be up on stage with us?"
"No, it's Celia's birthday and the attention should be on her only." I told my mom. While I did want to be up there because there may be an Alpha here that wasn't last year and maybe my mate would be out there, and he could see me and easily find me.
I walked out of my parent's room and went straight to my room. Opening up my closet I pulled out my dress. I took the bag off it that was wrapped around it. It was a simple satin pearl color dress. It went all the way to my feet with a slit up the right thigh, almost to my hip, and had a scoop neck showing off my ample cleavage and was completely backless. I loved it the moment I saw it. I slipped the dress on and made sure that it still looked good and then put on my white sparkly heels and buckled the straps. Giving myself one last look in the mirror I was ready.
I walked into the ballroom and Joey was standing there talking to Brittany and the second he saw me his mouth dropped, and he walked over to me. He kissed my cheek and whispered, "you look mouthwatering."
"Thank you, but someone might see you so play it cool." I told him and he stepped back slightly, and we walked over to where Brittany was standing.
"Holy sexy," she said looking me over.
"Thanks. Your dress is pretty amazing as well."
"Was your sister OK?"
"I think so. Her eyes were slightly red, so I don't know if she was crying or if she heard us and she didn't say anything. My guilt got to me, and I touched up her makeup and her hair and then she left."
"That's good. Maybe nothing will come of it."
"My mom did tell me to be extra nice to her because she is the one who has to marry him and that I should try to stay in contact with her after she leaves."
"I mean it's better than being the one who is being sent away."
I went to say something, but the lights dimmed, and the spot turned onto the stage making everyone stop talking and pay attention to the speech my father was about to give.
