From Prisoner to Primordial

CHAPTER 8 - Betas, Gammas, and Gossip

*CW: TW: Mentions of s****l coercion*

***NSFW***

*Kane’s P.O.V.*

    “Blue Moon pack members! Tonight, we are gathered on this full moon to witness the transfer of power to your new Betas and Gamma! Gunther King and Brielle Ludwig, please come to the stage. Jax Frazier, please come to the stage!” I yelled out.

    “Mate!” Aileya said as Jax walked by her. He stopped and turned to her, sniffing the air before replying, “Mate.”

    The four of them made their way to the stage. Beta Jackson stepped forward.

    “Do you, Gunther King and Brielle Ludwig, swear to abide by the laws set forth by the Elders. Do you swear to protect and serve the Blue Moon pack members?”

    “I do,” they said together. Beta Jackson sliced his left palm with the golden dagger and handed it to Gunther as a drop of his blood fell into the chalice. They did the same, and a bright white light flashed and then disappeared.

    “Woah,” Gunther said, and Nova smiled.

    “Do you, Jax Frazier and Aileya Drake, swear to abide by the laws set forth by the Elders? Do you swear to protect and serve the Blue Moon pack members?” Gamma Conner asked as he sliced his left palm and a drop of blood fell into the chalice.

    “I do,” they replied in unison, and each sliced their left palms allowing a drop of blood to fall into the chalice. Another flash of white light appeared and disappeared just as quickly.

    “Members of the Blue Moon pack, I present to you your new Betas and Gammas!” I boomed, and applause, cheers and howls erupted.

    We exited the stage and made our way to the first table for the ranked members. We took our seats, and everyone dug in. I had to admit that the pack pulled this last-minute ceremony off quite well, though the details had been planned out, we hadn’t set a date.

    Nova got to talking with Brielle and Aileya and found they had quite a lot in common. I couldn’t help but notice Jane at one of the low-ranked omega tables, and I could almost see the smoke coming out of her ears. If looks could kill, Brielle would be six feet under right now.

    “Congratulations Gunther and Jax and co. I’m proud to call you my Betas and Gammas.”

    “Thank you, Alpha,” Gunther said.

    “Please, It’s Kane and Nova to you all now.”

    “Thank you, Kane,” Jax said without looking away from Aileya.

    “I will show you to your new suites here in the packhouse tonight and tomorrow you can begin moving your stuff in.”

    They nodded and continued eating. After dinner, Nova and I took them up to the fourth floor and showed them to their suites. Gunther and Brielle were in awe, while Jax and Aileya shut the door immediately, and I knew exactly what they were doing.

    Once they were settled, Nova and I went to our own suite.

    “Did Dr. Reid ever get back to you on the results?” I asked her. She looked up at me from the couch and smiled and nodded.

    “Well?” I prompted.

    “We have a future Alpha baking with his twin sister,” she said, grinning.

    “Woohoo!” I exclaimed, running over and hugging her. “Now we have to come up with names.”

    “Well, I like Caisson Harrison for our future Alpha.”

    “What about Kiya Marie?”

    “Damn you’re good, babe,” she said.

    “I know,” I shot back.

    She rolled her eyes. “Caisson Harrison and Kiya Marie… we have to go baby shopping now! Well, not right now, but like, tomorrow!”

    “Okay,” I held my hands up in surrender.

*THE NEXT DAY*

*Nova’s P.O.V.*

    “Let’s tell your family. I’m sure Kris is going to want in on the shopping,” I laughed.

    “Let’s go,” he said and led me to his office. A few minutes later, his family came in.

    “Son, Nova, what’s going on?” his dad asked.

    “Well…” I began and held out the ultrasound pictures from yesterday.

    Kylie, Kaiden and Kris looked at them shocked.

    “Twins?” Kylie asked.

    “A boy and a girl,” I answered.

    “I’m gonna be an auntie! YES!” Kris exclaimed, and I couldn’t help the smile that spread across my face.

    “We’re gonna be grandparents?” his dad asked, a smile in his voice.

    “Yes, Dad,” Kane said.

    “We were going to go shopping, and I figured Kris would want to go,” I said.

    “Son, we have to go investigate the local mechanic shop. They’re audit is today, and you need to learn how to do it. I’m pretty sure someone is stealing from us, and you need to be there to find out who.”

    Kane looked at me. “You go, Kris and I will go shopping and take the cargo van with a few of the Deltas to load the furniture.”

    Kane nodded, “Okay, take Axel and Aryan. I just mind linked them to meet you in the garage. And Kate is going, too.”

    “Yes!” Kris exclaimed again.

    Kylie hugged me before Kris and I left the office. We made our way down to the garage and found Kate waiting with Axel and Aryan.

    “Luna, congrats!” Kate said when she saw me. Her baby bump was smaller than mine, but then again, I was carrying two not just one. We climbed in the van and got on our way.

    “Nova, please. Kate, do you know what you’re having?”

    “A boy,” she smiled. “What about you?”

    “One of each,” I answered, rubbing my belly.

    “Oh my, you lucky girl!”

    “You want twins?”

    “I just want one of each. Alexander wants a whole house full of children, but I’m not sure about that!” she chuckled.

    “Have you picked out a name?”

    “Alex Jr. You?”

    “Caisson Harrison and Kiya Marie.”

    “Oh, I love those names!” she exclaimed.

    “Thank you.”

    “Luna, we’re here,” Axel said as we pulled into the outlet strip mall.

    We got out and headed to Baby’s R Us first to pick out furniture and the larger necessities.

    I chose two nursery sets that included a convertible crib, changing table, gliding rocker, and a dresser. One I picked was more masculine for Caisson, and I picked a more feminine set for Kiya. Kate picked the same set for Alex Jr., or AJ as they were going to call him that I had chosen for Caisson. I picked out area rugs to go underneath each crib and two rocking bassinets.

    Then I picked out the breast pump I wanted after doing some research, and some Dr. Browns bottles and two drying racks and diapers in every size. Kate did the same.

    Axel pulled the cargo van up and he and Aryan loaded up the boxes of furniture and everything we bought.

    After that, we went to Carters to look at baby clothes, and that’s where Kris went crazy. She grabbed a cart and started grabbing the clothes Kate and I didn’t pick. Kate and I went crazy with all the baby clothes and accessories. We made sure to buy weather appropriate clothes in all different sizes, since we didn’t know how they’d grow.

    Kris found a onesie for each of the twins that said, “I love my aunt” and bought it in every size they had.

    We loaded the clothes up into the back of the van and finally, it was time for lunch. We went to McDonald’s and ordered separately but I paid for Axel and Aryan’s food as a thank you.

    After we finished eating, we headed back to the territory. Axel and Aryan were kind enough to carry the furniture into the room that Kate was going to use as a nursery before we went back to the packhouse. I relieved Axel and Aryan after many thanks and had Jax and Gunther carry the twins’ furniture up to our suite and put it in the bedroom with the en suite.

    Kane came home shortly after and began putting the furniture together so we could decide how to set up the room. He finished quickly and we rearranged everything the way we liked it and I started up a load of baby clothes in the laundry room I had somehow managed to miss.

    “So did you figure out who the thief was?”

    Kane nodded. “It was one of the pack members. He was banished without being allowed to come back for any of his belongings.”

    “I thought I felt a connection lost, but I wasn’t sure.”

*THE NEXT DAY*

    The news of my pregnancy spread like wildfire, and I had a lot of congrats coming my way. I was sitting at the table in the packhouse eating lunch with the girls. I looked Brielle in the eyes for some unknown reason and c****d my head.

    “What, Nova?” she asked, confused.

    “Um… you’re going to want to go see Dr. Reid soon,” I answered, and she gasped.

    “Wait, you can tell if someone’s pregnant just by looking them in their eyes?” Aileya asked.

    “Well, yes, but it’s because Kane and I can sense someone’s soul. So, when I do, I’m sensing another soul which is how I know.”

    “Check me,” she said, and I couldn’t help but laugh. I looked into her eyes, c****d my head, and smiled.

    “You my dear Aileya, are pregnant. Two days, I’m guessing.”

    “I was wondering why my heat was so short after I found Gunther. I must have conceived the first night, which ended my heat,” Brielle said.

    “No, I conceived the second night and still had two days left,” I told her. “You just got lucky and only have a 1-day heat cycle.”

    “Lucky b***h,” Aileya said under her breath.

    “Hey, I heard that!” Brielle exclaimed.

    “Well, you were supposed to, dummy!”

    We all laughed and finished eating. I invited everyone to come up to my suite, and they were excited to be able to see how the nursery was set up.

    After they ooh’ed and aw’ed at how it was set up, we sat in the living room talking some more.

    Kate, why don’t you come to my room and hang with us pregnant chicks, I mind linked her.

    Chicks? As in plural? Be right there.

    Just let yourself in, it’s unlocked, I cut the link.

    “Kate’s on her way up.”

    “Wait, so you and Kate are pregnancy buddies and Brielle and I are pregnancy buddies,” Aileya concluded.

    “Duh, b***h,” Brielle shot back, and I laughed so hard I snorted.

    “Damn, shots fired, shots fired,” I joked, and everyone laughed.

    The door opened and Kate came in, joining us in the living room. “This is where you live? This is your Alpha suite? It’s a freakin’ luxury apartment!”

    “You’re the lead Delta, you could have had one too, but you chose one of the houses instead!” I defended myself.

    “Well, I like the privacy more anyways. Our plot of land is surrounded by trees as you saw yesterday, so I can’t complain too much. Now why the ‘shots fired,’” she asked, and I explained what happened at lunch and just now, and Kate was rolling laughing.

    “So, Nova, how big is he?” Brielle asked boldly.

    “Why are you going to ask that? Are you going to share, too?” I asked back.

    “Of course, we all will.”

    “Well, he’s like 9” long and this big around,” I showed them with my hands. “Like 2” diameter, I think?”

    Their jaws dropped. “And I thought Gunther was well hung. He’s about 8.5” long but maybe 1.5” diameter,” Brielle said.

    “Jax is about the same,” Aileya said. “But it fits perfectly.

    “Alexander is…”

    “Hey, hey, hey, I don’t want to know this about my doctor,” I said, and they laughed.

    “We do!” Brielle and Aileya said in unison. I hung my head in defeat.

    “Go on, Kate,” Brielle prompted.

    “He’s 8” long and 1.75” diameter. I actually measured.”

    We all snickered at that, including Kate.

    “Was he your first?” Aileya asked Kate.

    “No, but he will definitely be my last. I love him so much. I waited 33 years to find a mate, and now that I have him, I’m never letting go. What about you, Brielle?”

    “He’s my first and only. He was so gentle…” she reminisced.

    “Aileya?” Brielle asked.

    “He wasn’t my first, but I only slept with one other guy before him. It was the worst mistake of my life. We dated for a few months in high school, and he kept pressuring me into s*x, and finally I gave in and said yes. He was far from gentle. After that, I broke up with him, and swore I’d wait for my mate before I let anyone have me that way. And after 7 years of waiting, I finally found Jax.”

    “Jax was newborn we rescued from Gibbous Moon. I guess somehow, his wolf knew his mate would be here. It just took a month for you to cross paths.”

    “I never would have guessed it until he told me himself.”

    “I consider Kane to be my first, even though I was r***d by two men at Gibbous Moon.”

    Looks of shock crossed their faces, but thankfully none showed pity. I didn’t want pity. It was in my past, and they were dead, and I had come to terms with it.

    Kane came in and my friends parted ways with me, saying their goodbyes as they left.

    “What were you girls doing?”

    “Gossiping,” I answered as he pulled me in for a kiss.

    “I’ve had a stressful day,” he said before kissing me again. The kiss deepened and I moaned into his mouth, allowing his tongue entrance. Our tongues fought for dominance. He ripped my clothes off me, his eyes roaming my practically naked body.

    He undressed himself, including his boxers, and his erection sprung free.

    He pulled me in for another chaste kiss before ripping my bra and panties off me. He pulled my breast into his mouth, and I moaned in pleasure as he used his erection to rub my sweet spot. He trailed kisses along my jawline down to my neck and to my mark, suckling on it briefly causing me to moan again.

    “Are you ready to come for me, my angel?” he asked.

    I nodded my head, “I want to come all over your rock-hard c**k of mine,” I said.

    He entered me in one swift movement before he began thrusting inside my p***y. I moaned and groaned as I began climbing the edge before crashing over it. Waves of pleasure washed through me, and soon I crashed over the edge again, screaming his name in ecstasy.

    He pulled me into a sitting position, so I was on top, letting me control it. I moved in a way that pulled him out halfway before I shoved myself back down on his d**k, bottoming him out. He moaned as I twisted this way and that before grinding against him once I found my sweet spot. I came again suddenly, and he began thrusting into me, bottoming out each time.

    “f**k, Nova,” he moaned as his own orgasm overtook him and he bit into my mark causing me to have the most intense orgasm. I bit his mark and could feel his d**k jerking inside me, releasing his seed as it coated my walls.
