I seriously doubted he would actually tell Lexi. He knows it would crush her, but I wouldn’t gamble to find out. Finally, I was angry with myself. For getting in this situation in the first place. I should’ve come up with something else to help Sophia. I was a stupid idealist kid. I wanted my friend to have her pack. I’d accomplished that, she had it. At what cost to myself though? Why couldn’t anyone see what this was doing to me? Lexi shouldn’t be in the shadows. My dad NEVER would’ve told her to stay away from me. If I could just tell him she was my mate. That thought churned my anger at my father again. How DARE he make her cry. How DARE he even go to her in the first place. Matt interrupted my musings, “Apparently I’m a celebrity. I kissed my mate, and the place went insane. Ted said the waitress was beside herself taking pictures with him.” I said, “You are the first openly gay Beta who remained Beta. That’s bound to get the younger wolves talking. Hell, the ones our age too. The old sticks in the mud will be the problems.”
Matt said, “I think you have Lexi incoming. Alpha Conners knows man. The look he just gave Lexi when he told her to use his private bathroom…. He knows.” I said, “He suspects. He won’t officially get confirmation on anything because of Haley.” Matt said, “Ted thinks she knows too, and is respecting that Lexi isn’t telling her.” I said, “Then this is the worst kept secret of all time.” Matt said, “Hey, you said it. Not me.” My phone rang. I was getting a facetime call. I accepted the call, and my mouth went dry. I said her name, and she immediately asked where I was. I couldn’t stop myself from saying waiting to snatch her up the second she came into my territory. I didn’t even care if she knew I had a desperate need to be buried inside her. She started to tease me. I knew she was doing it, but I couldn’t stop watching her hand run along her body. Her n*****s almost came out of her top when she took a deep breath. My pathetic ass was praying to the moon goddess they would pop out. f**k it… I was going to go get her and take her in the damn bathroom. If Eric and Haley knew but didn’t technically know… who the f**k cares? Lexi said I couldn’t come get her. I f*****g could. She started talking about giving me a blow job. I was done for. I needed her. She licked her f*****g bottom lip. I was going to bite that damn lip. She was saying she wanted me to kiss her. I was going to f**k her all damn night long. Her lips would be swollen and completely claimed by me. I was past all reason. I yelled at her to get to the border. She laughed and told me she’d see me eventually.
I linked Matt, “GET LEXI TO THE GODDAMN BORDER OR SO HELP ME GOD. I’LL COME GET HER AND DRAG HER AWAY!” Matt said, “So… she did call you.” I growled, “She’s teasing me. I need her back here now Matt.” Matt said, “Give me a few minutes.” I growled, “Matt, I will come across this border in five minutes.” Matt said, “Can I get eight?” I growled, “NO!” I texted Lexi repeatedly. Telling her to come to me. Begging her. Telling her she had no f*****g idea what she was in for. Matt linked me, “Getting in the car and I have sixty seconds to spare. You should know, Haley wants to make this a regular thing.” I growled, “Then someone better get Sophia to sign those f*****g papers. I’ll kill Beta Alfred Sr. my damn self!” Matt said, “You’ll feel better after you spend time with Lexi. Hopefully that gets you to stop talking crazy.” I growled, “WHO is driving? Since WHEN do you drive at the pace of a snail?” Matt said, “It’s Ted’s new car I got him. He’s driving.” I growled, “Get ready to buy him a new car.” Matt said, “Now, now, I already rolled the back window down where Lexi happens to be sitting. DO NOT rip the door off.” I linked back, “No promises.” Matt said, “COME ON! It’s the first present I’ve gotten Ted. PLEASE… use the rolled down window.” I growled, “If you get here in the next two minutes, I’ll use the damn window.” I saw the car come into view. Matt said, “Just beating all the deadlines tonight. I unbuckled her seatbelt and everything. I had her plucked out of the car in seconds. I pushed her against the tree I’d been waiting by. I linked Matt, “Get out of here.” Matt said, “We already left.” I couldn’t stop myself from tasting her lips. I bit her lip that she’d teased me with. Bolt was howling in delight.
I told her to run. I’d known she’d run to her house. It was the only way I wouldn't have had her naked right here all night long. I actually laughed watching her run. She was still fast drunk, but not as fast as she normally was. The second she reached her porch I had her. I had to hold myself back the entire run here from pouncing on her. We’d never make it inside if I hadn’t. My possessiveness was flowing through me. I attacked her neck. I was fighting every instinct in me to mark her as mine. I bit her neck roughly, not breaking the skin. Bolt said, “We could just give her a lot of hickey’s if you insist on not marking her.” I said, “That works for me. People will know she’s mine.” Bolt growled, “Ours.” I wasn’t going to be able to stop myself from marking her in some way; hickey’s it was. She’d be screaming my name all night long. She might have to call into work tomorrow. I wasn’t sure I could stop since I wasn’t going to mark her. I longed to see my mark on her neck. It was torture knowing others could come up to her and try to dance with her when she was out tonight. I couldn’t be like Matt or Alpha Conners and go dance with my girl. I kissed down her body. I inhaled deeply when I got to her waist. I smelled another werewolf. I was enraged. Someone touched her. She said they wanted to dance with her. FUCKERS! She was MINE! I tore her top to shreds with my teeth. I spanked her for teasing me. I was trying to slow down, but I ripped all her clothes off her. Her naked body was a glorious sight to behold. No one would see this again except me. She was all mine. I toyed with her running my hands over her. I wanted her lips on my d**k. She quickly spun around. She asked why I had clothes on. Because fair was fair sweetheart. She teased me with her clothes, so I put mine on as well. The second her tongue touched my aching d**k; I was almost there. She took me in her mouth, and I had to bring her lips back up to mine. I was ready to explode, and I wanted to do that inside her. Kincade linked me, “Uhh Alpha, we can hear you guys.” I kicked the door shut.
I picked her up and slammed her back against the door. I slid into her. Heaven. This is what I’d needed all damn day. Lexi scratched my back, and Bolt took over loving the pleasure and pain of it all. I made her say she was mine over and over. My blood was pumping in my ears. I couldn’t release control to her, and I couldn’t stop. After several rounds I lightly threw her on the couch ready to give her a little control. I wasn’t anywhere near done with her. She rolled us onto the floor. We both laughed and she took off running. Oh… my sweetheart wanted to play. She didn’t run outside the barrier. Kevin linked me, “What is happening?” I growled, “GO HOME!” He said, “Going home.” I slammed the door shut every time she ran inside. No one was going to hear her screams but me. Bolt and I were letting her have her fun. I could’ve caught her long before I did. She was just guaranteeing she wasn’t getting any sleep tonight. When she headed upstairs; I decided the game was over. I raced upstairs with her in a fireman’s carry. I threw her onto her bed. I somehow got harder as I looked at her body with my love bites all over her. I couldn’t help but become enraged at the people trying to keep her from me. They would all suffer. Noah could never have her; she was mine. My father would never keep her from me either. No one could. She was mine and I was hers. I couldn’t stop. Bolt and I were taking turns claiming her. If I couldn’t mark her as mine, then by god someone was going to smell me all over her. f**k… at this point they’d smell me inside her. She muttered something about needing to shower. I carried her in there. If she could shower while I kept going. Then more power to her. I took her three more times before we managed to get outside. I didn’t want to let her go.
Kevin and even Kincade’s head swung around when we came out. Kincade linked, “She reeks of you Alpha...literally.” I smirked, “I know.” Kevin commented it was a good thing my dad wouldn't go near Lexi because now he’d know about us. He wouldn’t know who she was to me, but he’d definitely know we were together. No one who was around her today could miss that if they had supernatural senses. I told Kevin I wanted to know why he let someone put their hands on her. Kevin paled and explained their logic. It made sense I just didn’t care. They had my permission to make sure it never happened again. Let the chips fall where they may. I kissed Lexi. I forced myself to let her get in her car and leave. Kevin and Kincade were asking her to avoid men in Alpha Conners territory. I stood there until Matt linked me, “So... Lexi had made it to her office. Where the hell are you?” I linked, “Coming.” I shifted and ran home.
My dad was waiting at the door. I growled, “Go away.” My dad said, “Chase...please…” I stepped up to him, “Get OUT of my way.” My dad said, “Susie won’t talk to me, you won’t talk to me. Only Cameron will and even he’s mad at me.” I said, “Then stop acting like this scared little t**t. Be my dad. You know the one who let Cameron and I live our lives. I think we’ve all catered to this fear of yours long enough. Mom would’ve put you in your place if you’d EVER tried to do to Cameron or me what you’ve done to Susie. You’re lucky Nadine is an understanding woman. Susie is not a glass doll dad. Me? Well, I’m an adult. I can date whoever I want. YOU do not get to try to interfere and try to keep her from me. You do NOT get to rub salt in a wound about someone’s parents being dead. In case you needed to feel like more of an ass. Lexi’s mother is dead too. She found them murdered in her childhood home. She tried to keep pressure on her mother’s dead body. Someone cut her mother’s throat open. Lexi had a broken arm from tripping over her father’s body; she still tried though to keep pressure on the wound of her mother’s throat. Her screams alerted her people that something had happened. They had to sedate her to get her off her mother’s body as she cried. That’s what you so callously tossed in her face yesterday. Be the man who raised me. Until you turn back into him, I have no interest in speaking to you.” I pushed past him and went inside.
Matt was waiting in my office. “Do I need to remind you that this office is the ONLY place that was fairy charmed?” I said, “No. What do you have for me?” Matt sighed, “Bickering outside where the damn pack can hear you. Ted is cackling as he applies concealer to Lexi… Everywhere. Her Jaw? Seriously Chase? I also have reports of a finally dead vampire.” I was surprised, “I heard that Alpha Conners defanged the vampire. Not killed him.” Matt said, “Oh ignoring all the hickey comments? Alrighty then. Yes, Alpha Conners defanged and ripped the arm of said vampire off. King Arthur killed the vampire for trying to attack the princess in the club. Seems he’s quite fond of her. He’s the one who helped her on the inside when she was taken by the former King Damon.” I said, “Makes sense. Anyone who meets her like her.” Matt said, “Loves her. I love her. Beta Dylan is the president of her fan club. I’m actually much less concerned for him now that he has a mate. He’s been obsessed with Haley since she first spoke to him. Now it’s a normal I have a mate but she’s great kind of thing. I was worried he was going to get himself killed there for a while. Which would be a damn shame. He’s a treasure.” Derrick said, “Me too. Love the Princess that is. She’s entertaining. I also thought Beta Dylan was trying to get himself killed. Thank GOD Lacy Lyons was brought home.”
Matt said, “We still need a fairy of our own.” At that moment a pop sounded in my office. I growled, “King Aiden.” He smiled, “Did I arrive early?” I said, “Early?” Matt said, “About fifteen minutes early King Aiden. We have a meeting with King Aiden, Chase. In fifteen minutes. It was my next agenda topic.” I said, “Why?” King Aiden sat down, “Well Alpha Chase. I have recently secured an alliance with the Hood himself by extension his people. Your pack now has a member of the hood in it. I have recently appointed a liaison for their organization. Isn’t that such a fun thing they all say? Organization. Not a supernatural group. They got with, organization. I like them. Should my man pop up here to speak with your Ted… I would like you to be aware my fairy is a friendly one who intends your TeleTed no harm. The hood told me that was his name. I asked how he got it, and about fell out of the chair when he said Haley gave it to him. Isn’t my sister brilliant? I laughed for hours about this young man’s nickname. Haley is priceless. Anyway, my liaison’s name is Exsis.” Matt groaned, “Please god no.” I linked him, “What?” King Aiden laughed, “Did Haley’s wolf send out word? He does work fast. I believe he only recently found out about Exsis.” I closed my eyes. Great. Just what we needed a fairy who Alpha Eric Conners didn’t like around. Sure, I didn’t have enough problems. Matt said, “His Beta did. A few weeks ago we were asked to let them know if a fairy named Exsis came around.”
I studied Aiden, “You know your sister has a relationship with the hood and several members in it. Including our Beta male.” Aiden smiled, “From what I have observed; my sister is quite close with your Beta Male’s business partner. They have a deep bond, but yes. She does seem to be friends with your TeleTed as well.” I said, “So what’s your game? I don’t think you’d endanger your sister. If Alpha Conners is worried about this fairy… It means this is someone who’s interested in the fairy princess. Sexually I’m guessing if Alpha Conners is upset about it. Why would you do that? When you KNOW Exsis will cross paths with Haley and Alpha Conners. Do you want Exsis to die? Or are you looking to have your sister cheat on Alpha Conners? I can assure you the latter will not happen. I heard it directly from her mouth, and it was my understanding she could not cheat on him because they are twice light bound.” Aiden laughed, “I do not want my sister with Exsis. Why would I? Haley physically and emotionally couldn’t cheat on her wolf. Nor is it in her personality to do so; very unfairy of her. From the standpoint of my kingdom, my sister and her wolf produce POWERFUL children. I could want nothing more. Even if a fairy had a child with her; that child would not be anywhere close to as powerful as her children with her wolf. She could not bear another’s child though. Her light would not want to produce a child with someone else so it would never happen. I will not condone anyone r****g my sister. Anyone who tries will die, by my hand, her wolves, or by the assassin’s hands. So no, I do not want her with a fairy, Alpha Chase. I am VERY happy about the state of my sister and her relationship. I do not wish Exsis to die either.” Derrick said, “You want something though.”
Aiden smiled, “Of course I do. We all want something Gamma Derrick.” I raised an eyebrow, “He didn’t tell you his name.” Aiden smirked, “So he didn’t. I know a great deal of people, and I know many things. You are Alpha Chase; he is Beta Matt the first openly gay Beta; kudos on that progression welcome to the table with the literal rest of the supernatural world. My sister was up in arms once she found out this was a big deal. I do believe her brother Harper was on her heart when she heard that. While she may deny it; also his … I believe she calls him Harper’s boytoy lover. Couldn’t tell you the man’s name, but she loves him too. For one who has so many walls, my sister loves a lot. He is Gamma Derrick. Who is anxiously awaiting the return of Sally Quaid. Do be good to her. My sister quite likes her already, and they only recently met. You have some competition though. My sister introduced Sally to a partial fairy who thought she was beautiful.” We were all gaping at him. Derrick was growling at the thought of Sally with a fairy. How was Aiden so well informed? Aiden simply smirked at us and continued, “I also know… your wife has a secret Alpha Chase.” I growled, “What secret?” Aiden laughed, “A good question. An impression trait to have as an Alpha. Hold onto that. Your She wolf does have her secrets. A few at this point, but one well… two that would interest you.” I said, “What two secrets?”
Aiden laughed, “Oh... this pack needs a Beta Dylan. He is so much more fun. I can’t just tell you wolf. That would be dull, and I am FAR from dull.” I growled, “It’s Alpha.” Aiden rolled his eyes, “Yes, you all are quite touchy about that. Haley wolf demands I call him Alpha. Guess what I still call him? I’ll tell you this one. It’s Haley’s wolf. If we are around others, I call him consort. It make his eye twitch even though; it’s a sign of respect. He’s such fun to goad. I’ll give you a hint thought because my sister is determined to like you for the sake of your mate. She took on quite the burden. I myself thought you’d have to be killed, but you surprised me. Rather my sister surprised me.” I growled. Matt yelled, “EXCUSE ME?” Aiden said, “Excuse you for what?” Derrick growled, “You implied you would kill my Alpha!” Aiden said, “If my sister could not have handled the burden, she took on from my cousin Emmaline; I would have killed him. The last fairy who took on the burden from the soul searcher became depressed and suicidal. My sister continually surprises me with her strength. Your Alpha lives no need to fret. No one plans to kill him though there is a player who wants him dead while simultaneously watches out for him to make sure he lives. It’s fascinating, this realm. That player is not me though. I myself have been thoroughly entertained by this entire situation. My sister wants a happy ending here. I myself am a sucker for happy endings so I’m rooting for team Alpha Chase and his mate. I’d be careful though. My sister has a line for those she loves. Your mate Alpha Chase… I believe her line is much closer. Your she wolf may find herself in a world full of hurt soon. My sister has ideas and timeframes in her head. She will only let this continue so long. I’d say you have until the New Year for said she wolf to remain unscathed from Haley’s wrath. She will consider that ample time to have resolved this. I’d let your she wolf know her February timeframe is NOT going to cut it for my sister. Especially given that you have already met your mate. Your mate is quite happy with you, and that makes my sister happy.” He put his hands up, “Don’t worry. Your secret is safe with me. Haley is fairly certain Lexi is dating you, but Lexi has said nothing. My sister is a very big proponent of people telling their stories on their terms. So she doesn't know but she knows. I think we all know Haley’s wolf knows but isn’t going to seek out the truth or he’d have to tell my sister. Because he doesn’t know she knows because she’s respecting your mate’s decision not to officially tell her. The tangled web this realm weaves. It’s a wonder I managed to leave this realm.”
I linked Matt, “Are we bugged? HOW does he know this?” I said out loud, “You seem to talk to your sister a lot.” Aiden laughed, “I do. Haley would NEVER tell me that though. We all have our resources. I have spies as all kings do. I also spend a lot of time with my sister. The weight of this situation weighs heavily upon her, and I would like that to stop. I have my own limit. My sister’s is greater than mine because she has a longer attention span than I do. It’s part of why I wanted to meet with you other than to let you know Exsis may pop in to speak with Ted. I’m letting you know to push your she wolf if you care for her. I do not. I don’t even have to get my hands dirty here. I have many who owe me favors. I am not afraid to cash them in. My sister has been unhappy enough in her life. Her devastation and anger would reach VERY high levels if your mate was upset, Alpha Chase. She loves her. Even before Haley realized their connection, she was protective of Lexi Scott.” I inhaled. The fairy King just threw it out there.
He laughed at the look on my face, “Oh come now. My sister did an ancient fairy ritual to take on the pain of the soul searcher. I HAD to simply find all I could about you. The difference between my sister and I is she respects people’s boundaries. I could give a f**k less. I am king. I need information, and I needed to know who was so important besides Emmaline that my sister would do this. She made the Fae more interested in her, and their interest with everything Haley was astronomically high already. Her performing an ancient Fae ritual that was successful only increased interest, and she knew it would. That is all beside the point though. You all are such good listeners I find myself babbling. Back to your she wolf and her secrets. Maybe there is another reason your wife didn’t take my sister up on her offer to get the bottom of her problem. No one can lie to my sister. It’s a simple solution really. You would be free to be with your Lexi had she taken her up on it. ONLY because my sister is being nice did she allow your she wolf to decline. That was solely out of respect for her wolf. Haley wants you to be single. She’s conflicted. She could end this many ways, but her wolf is allied with said she wolf. To add another layer of complexity. So are you Alpha Chase. That matters to my sister as well because it would matter to Lexi. Surely, your she wolf wants to solve this problem on her own and prove her worth. She told my sister that, and it was not a lie. Haley was not expecting an additional reason. She let your wife out of her thrall too soon.”
Matt groaned, “Great.” I said, “What other reason could she possibly have? She has no feelings for me.” Aiden smirked, “You? No. Rest assured other than friendship your wife has no feelings for YOU.” Matt said, “She likes one of the traitors? OH f**k ME! Was Sophia dating someone on the list?” I paled, “She is dating someone. Would she truly keep dating someone she thought could be a traitor?” Aiden laughed, “My work here is done. Don’t kill Exsis should you see him with your Beta Male. He’s not into men. Never has been. He’s held a candle for my sister for decades. Fairy’s don’t see ages as other do.” Derrick said, “That’s gross about the age thing. Exsis only wants the princess who is the Luna of our ally. What could go wrong here? You do understand we are duty bound to protect Alpha Conners Luna in any way we see necessary. Even if she wasn’t, we would do it anyway because we like your sister.”
