The Luna's Revenge

Lexi’s POV

The omega, Leah, had brought snacks and drinks, which I appreciated. She offered to help me unpack, but seeing as I had just one small backpack, it wasn’t necessary. After Leah left, I explored the room, noting that it was about the same size as my own bedroom at home. However, the bathroom was huge and luxurious, and the bed was much softer than mine. Ellie would be so jealous! That girl was a tomboy through and through, but she had a soft spot for comfy mattresses and spa-like tubs. If I stayed her, I knew Ell would love to visit.

Was I really thinking about staying here already? Today had been a whirlwind. It was supposed to be a simple trip to meet with a witch, then I was semi-taken captive by the pack, met my second-chance mate, nearly rejected him, and then found myself happily accepting him again.

Ugh, Mondays, am I right? my wolf chimed in.

I’m sorry, are you auditioning for a workplace sitcom? I asked her.

She flicked her tail at me. Hush, child. Also, we have company.

I heard a firm knock on the door and called to the person to come in. Jake entered, followed by a mischievous-looking dark-haired guy. Of course , no one compared to my mate, but the other guy was also gorgeous, with sparkling green eyes and shaggy, unkempt brown hair that contrasted with Jake’s softer, preppier style.

“Lexi, I’d like you to meet my Gamma, and one of my best friends. Murphy Greene.” Jake said. I could hear the pride in his voice as he introduced Murphy to me. For his part, Murphy seemed delighted to be the first one to get an official introduction.

“Hi, Luna! I’m so glad to meet you. Also, let me clarify, when Jake says I’m his best friend, he means I am literally *the best* out of all of his friends. I’m sure I’ve already topped Cameron, who always sets the bar nice and low for me.”

He smirked mischievously, and I giggled. “Yes, Cameron gave me quite the warm welcome this morning. I’m glad Jake came along when we did, otherwise I’d probably be in the dungeons undergoing torture as we speak.”

That elicited a growl from Jake, but Murphy seemed to know how to reel his Alpha back in. “You see, Cam thinks he’s auditioning for the lead detective role on the werewolf edition of Law & Order. He’s always practicing his interrogation techniques on unsuspecting pack members. I’ve told him he should probably give it up for now, try again when he’s older and has more experience in show biz, but you know how these fledgling actors can be.” Murphy made a tsking noise and shook his head. Even Jake smiled at the Gamma’s sarcastic ramblings.

“Anyway,” Murphy continued, his expression cheerful. “What kind of embarrassing stories do you wanna hear about my boy Jake? Oh, I know, how about when we were ten year old pups, and our fearless Alpha screamed bloody murder, and half the warriors ran to his bedroom to find a spider on his ceiling-“

“Alright, alright, Murph, I think Lexi has met you for long enough today.” Jake interrupted, shoving him out of the door. “And possibly forever. Goodbye, Murphy!” He closed the door and leaned his back against it, like Murphy might burst back through at any moment.

I couldn’t stop giggling. “I like him, I think he should stay.”

“I heard that! One point for me, zero points for Cam, undecided points for the Alpha!” Murphy’s voice was triumphant even though it was muffled by the door.

“What part of ‘get lost before I kill you’ did not come through the mindlink clearly?!” Jake hollered back, but it seemed good natured. After a minute of silence, Jake cracked the door and looked around, then shut it again.

“Ahh, privacy. How are you doing, my beautiful goddess?” He swept me up into his arms and pulled me onto the bed with him, so that we were lying on our sides, facing each other.

“I’m good. A little overwhelmed by today, honestly, but good. How are you?” I gently ran my hand up and down the length of his arm, brushing my fingertips against his skin.

“Mmm, I’m perfect right now,” he said as he nuzzled me. He draped one leg over me and pulled me closer to him, as his hands roamed over my body.

I wasn’t afraid of his physical affection, but I also wasn’t just going to mate and mark someone the first day I met them, without even telling my sister or my parents. I’d need to transfer packs, move, learn to be a Luna… there was so much responsibility that came with being an Alpha’s mate. Hell, there had been so much responsibility being a Beta’s mate. I imagined this would only be that much more intense.

None of that mattered right now though, as Jake peppered my face with gentle kisses. His lips landed on mine and I immediately wanted more, moaning and plunging my tongue into his mouth. He returned the favor, biting my lip softly before pulling away to trail a line of kiss from my jaw to my ear. He nibbled and bit up and down my neck before landing on my marking spot. Alternating between grazing his canines and swiping his tongue against the spot where he would soon mark me, he sent a rush of sensations through my body as Sasha begged me for control and I shoved her away in my mind.

I was already dripping with desire, contemplating begging him to make me his. All those logical thoughts from earlier were gone, after just a few minutes of kissing. Goddess, this was dangerous.

Without warning, he flipped me over so I was on my back and he was kneeling, straddling my legs. Extending his sharp claws, he slashed through the hideous gym shorts and shirt his patrollers had given me earlier, tossing them to the side and leaving me completely naked.

“Jake….” I whispered, my voice laced with lust. “Please…”

He flashed his gorgeous grin at me, which did nothing to help the fire between my legs. I moaned and squeezed my thighs together. Kissing his way from my lips to my breasts, he found my n****e, licking and nipping gently before switching sides. I squirmed, bucking my hips, desperate for release.

“Aw, babe, does my little warrior wolf need me?” He teased. I could only nod and squeeze my legs together again. I felt like I would literally explode from the heat.

Jake pinned both wrists above my head with one of his big, strong hands, while the other slipped down to tease my thighs with featherlight touches. He used his knee to nudge my legs apart, shifting himself so he was kneeling between them.

Soon, he slid his fingertips over my slit and his eyes went black. I could tell how soaked I was, and knew he could feel it, too.

“So wet for me, my little warrior wolf.” Jake growled lowly at me as his wolf lingered just below the surface. Sasha was purring in my head.

“Yes, Alpha,” I murmured. “Please…”

“Tell me what you want, little wolf.”

My cheeks were scarlet. “Please…. Alpha….” I wiggled my hips under him, trying to get some relief, but he denied me.

“Tell me what you want, or I’ll stop.” His mouth was against my ear, whispering, sending pleasure through my entire body. His finger teased the outside of my slit, just barely touching, lingering, waiting on my permission to enter.

“Please… Jake… I… I need to cum.” I rasped out.

He seemed unsatisfied by that answer, but he slipped two long fingers into my p***y and began to slowly, teasingly, move in and out.

“Now, my little warrior wolf, I’m going to need you to be clearer than that.” he whispered as he bit down on my earlobe. I moaned and bucked my hips against his hand. He picked up speed, adding a third finger and thrusting faster.

“I want you to make me c*m, Alpha!” I cried out. Please, Jake, please, I’m so close!”

He gave me a pleased grin. “As you wish, little wolf.” With that, he buried his face between my legs latching on to my c**t and licking my most sensitive spots.

“JAKE!” I screamed, tensing up as I found my release, wave after wave of it crashing through me. “Oh f**k,” I mumbled, relaxing as I came down from my high.

I snuggled into my mate, slightly embarrassed at how quickly I had come undone for him the first moment we were alone.

Jake’s POV

Goddess. My little warrior wolf was delicious. I was pleased to know I hadn’t f****d things up earlier by fighting with her over her first mate. I had intend to talk to her, but once I saw her gorgeous body, I got distracted by other more urgent needs. Like, making her feel like the princess she is.

Lexi was obviously tired after our encounter, struggling to keep her eyes open, so I wrapped my arms around her and held her as she came down from her high. I would have plenty of opportunities to fulfill my own needs later. Today had been a lot for both of us, and there was no reason to rush.

“Baby, that was amazing. You’re amazing.” I told her.

She giggled. “I think you’re amazing, Alpha.”

I squeezed her gently and kissed the top of her head before resting my chin on her hair.

“Lexi, I really just came down to introduce you to Murphy and see you for a minute. I’m going to head up to my office and work a bit before bed, but I’ll find you in the morning and we can spend tomorrow together. Just give me or Leah a call if you need anything, okay?”

She looked slightly surprised - maybe she thought I’d insist she stay in my room? But she just nodded and kissed me.

“Goodnight, Alpha, I will see you at breakfast.” She smiled, nuzzling me and giving me a quick kiss on my marking spot before I headed out of the room.

Two hours later, I was still at my desk as I tried to review my notes on an upcoming merger between one of our pack’s businesses and a smaller, human-owned business. It was late, past midnight, and I was never going to get this done. I sighed. Usually, Cam kept me company while I did this kind of work.

“Murph, have you seen Cam tonight?” I mindlinked my Gamma.

“Um, yes… I think he’s taking your words to heart. Last I saw, Cooper was sleeping near those rocks by the lake.”

I flinched at that. I forgot I had used my Alpha tone on him, issuing a formal order. His wolf instincts were probably making it impossible to come back inside even if he wanted to.

“Thanks, Murph!”

I quietly shut the door of my office and headed out of the packhouse. After taking my clothes off, I shifted into Hunter and trotted our way to the lake.

Cooper scented us before they could see us, and when we reached their spot behind the rocks, Cooper had barred his neck in submission, head low to the ground, whimpering slightly. An apology.

Hunter bowed his head in return, indicating that we were here as friends. Within a few seconds, Cam and I both shifted back to our human forms. I tossed him a pair of basketball shorts before pulling on a pair of my own. Wolves were used to nudity, but we didn’t need to have this probably-emotional talk while naked.

The silence dragged on for a minute as we both contemplated the moon’s reflection on the lake.

“So today was a weird-ass day, wasn’t it?” I started off.

Cam chuckled humorlessly. “Jake, I’m sorry for what I said. I’m an asshole. You know I would die for you, and yet, I still say s**t like that.” He shook his head. “Apparently I vowed to protect you from any harm, except my own dumbass hurtful comments.”

“I mean, yeah, you cut right to the bone when you’re mad, but you’re a damn good Beta the other 99% of the time.” I told him truthfully. “And that’s a trade-off any Alpha would be lucky to have. Plus, who else would be my Beta, Murphy? That guy would prank the entire wolf council. I’m not trying to get involved in an interpack war here.”

Cam cracked a small smile. “As Murph would say, luckily the bar is set nice and low for me.”

I chuckled. It was my facetiously lazy Gamma’s favorite expression.

“Oh yeah, speaking of that. Lexi might leave me for Murphy if he says one more funny thing in front of her, so you’ve got an uphill climb to replace him as the favorite best friend.”

As quick as it appeared, Cam’s smile was gone. “I’m sorry she and I got off on the wrong foot, but there’s something weird about her story. I’d like to look further into it.”

Now it was my turn to frown. “As a friend, I am asking you to drop it and trust her. She’s my mate and I would be able to tell if she was lying. I’d feel it. I know I would.”

We fell into silence again, listening to the forest sounds. Finally, he asked, “Are you issuing an Alpha command?”

I paused, considering his question. “No… I’m not. At least not yet.”

“Then you see it, too,” he insisted. “You know there could be something fishy, and if you command me not to investigate, it will tie my hands if you get in too deep.”

“Don’t push your luck, Cam. I hate tying your hands for any reason. I’d like to think you’re my friend and you respect me enough to trust my judgment without needing to be forced into it.”

“Okay, fine. Thank you. I won’t bring it up to you again unless it seems pertinent. Can we head back in? I’m starving.”

“Of course! Get a plate of food and meet me in my office, I need to finish reviewing the documents for the Fairwell merger.” I told him.

He narrowed his eyes at me. “Did you only come to find me because you were bored without me?”

“It may or may not have reminded me that I need my Beta, even if he is a d**k and made what I assume is a mistake he won’t repeat earlier today.”

“Cooper says you can punch me once and he won’t fight back,” Cam said, wincing slightly.

I smirked, raising my fist as Cam flinched. “Nah, I’m letting it slide this time. But Coop, don’t tempt Hunter like that! Now, do you want food or not?”

For the first time all day, Cam smiled genuinely. “Race you back to the house!”

He shifted into Cooper and took off, leaving me behind momentarily. Hunter soon caught up, being the faster runner. We both shifted again as we reached the packhouse steps and ran to the door, shoving each other to try to be the first one inside.

“What in the Goddess’s sake is happening here?” A grumpy-looking Leah appeared, seemingly unbothered by our nakedness but absolutely perturbed by our antics. “Do you boys know what time it is?”

Leah was in her late 50s and acted so motherly that everyone in the pack listened to her, even me. She had long, braided silver hair - and silver eyes, which were currently piercing through my soul.

We both straightened up and ducked into the house quietly. “Sorry, Leah, we were just going to grab some leftovers and head upstairs to work.”

She raised an eyebrow at us. “I will thank you kindly to stay out of my kitchen until you put on some pants. Why don’t I fix you up a couple of plates and bring them up?”

“Thank you, Leah,” Cam winked at her. “I’ll make sure the Alpha gets safely to his office without disturbing the peace anymore than he already has.”

“Don’t you wink at me, Cameron. I bet this was your idea….” she muttered, rolling her eyes as she headed to the kitchen.

I couldn’t help sticking my tongue out at Cam, like the extremely mature leader I was.

“Jacob!” Leah snapped, hiding her smile. “Goddess help our pack with these children in charge.”
