Royalty Burning

Chapter 8:Meeting the Packs

~Desire~

Matt drove now. He and Jean were getting along great. I could see the service to their country was a bridge of sorts. "I'm surprised you haven't met your mate yet." Matt said.

I looked over to Flame and his smile is telling. "None of the women I've met ever felt right. I'll even admit to being a bit of a man w***e looking for the one." Jean said, exhaling.

"Hmmm." I said and looked at Flambé inquisitively.

"What?" He asked. "I had no control over his d***."

"No but he's your Beta. Your first defense. Which means, where you go, he goes most of the time."

"Ooh." He laughed and pulled me closer. He whispered in my ear. "Believe me, yes I was right there with him. How else could I learn all those little tricks that make your body convulsed and gush all over me? Difference being, I knew they weren't the one. They were just practice." He bit and sucked my ear lobe and sat back. He smiled. "You're so jealous right now baby. Green looks good on you." He laughed again.

I felt hurt. Why would he tell me that so callously? There are warring emotions inside though. He hurt me with his callousness, but the way he whispered his dirty secrets in my ear turned me on. So now I'm mad at him and myself.

"Matt, when we get there, take Flambé on a tour. I think our mate is going to kill him, if she doesn't get space." Jacks said, pulling me closer to his side.

We picked up Julie. Jacks was trying to keep me calm and happy. He was hugging and kissing me. I found it hard to look at Flambé right now. I was a virgin when Flambé had s*x with me.

I whispered in Jackson's ear. "Is this how you felt when you found out Flame and I had s*x before I met you?"

"No, I could see there were feelings involved. You both didn't just come out with the information like it was a big joke." He looked at Flame then over my head. He shook his head. "I think he made you mad on purpose."

"Why?" I whispered.

"So we could have time by ourselves without feeling guilty."

I looked over at Flambé now. "You could have just said something. Don't do that again. Just tell us you need time alone or something. The way you said that was really… hurtful."

"Look baby, I have never been in a real relationship and definitely not a triad. I'm learning as I go." He whispered. "But I don't want any attention on me right now. Almost all day. I'm processing everything." He gulped then. It looked like he almost choked.

I nodded. "Only defense today. Are you going to be ok later?"

"We'll see my queen." He caressed my face and rubbed my stomach.

We arrived at a building that looked like a mountain lodge. "Welcome to 'Shifter Ski Lodge'. My permanent residence, but we have guests during the snow season. Matt and Julie can you show Flambé and Jean around please? Get them some lunch from Mrs. Press?"

"Sure Jackson." Julie said.

Jacks and I ascended the stairs. He opened the door for me and walked to the front desk. "Hey Amy. Any calls?" She looked up and when her gaze fell on me her eyes glowed blue. Someone was pissed.

Her eyes never left me. "The council called. Probably the usual, the mate issue." Then she growled. Jackson looked between us. I held my queen b**** face looking down at her. I won't be intimidated by anyone anymore.

"Amy I'd like you to meet Desire… My mate." He emphasized.

"Oh hell no!" Amy let out.

"Jacks, will you give me a minute alone with Amy?" He looked unsure. "Trust me." He nodded.

"I'll just be over here in my office." I gave him a sharp nod.

When the door closed, I put all my attention on Amy. "So Amy, how long have you been in love with my mate?"

She growled again. "That's none of your f****** business."

"Oh but it is. We've found each other. We're expecting our first pup. Anything concerning Jackson is now my business." I could feel my eyes glowing now. "I wanted to approach you as a woman, but some females need to be treated like the b****** they are. So Amy, are you a woman, or a b***h?" I felt my teeth lengthen. Amy gulped.

"I'm a woman. I have been interested in Jackson since I was 15."

"I can tell, but I'll ask anyway. Did anything s****l ever happen?" She shook her head. "Don't lie to me. We're talking as women here."

"I just sucked him off a couple of times." She mumbled.

"Were his eyes closed the whole time?"

"How did you…?"

"Know? Jackson found me when he was 5 and I was only a month old. He could only get hard and c*m picturing his idea of me. I'm sorry Amy." I said sincerely. "There's someone out there for you. My other mate is a seer. We'll try to help you find your true mate when he returns from his tour, ok?" She nodded.

"I would appreciate that. Are you the queen everyone always talks about with Jackson?" I nodded. "Your highness, I didn't.''

"It's ok Amy. We will get to know each other better and be fast friends, I'm sure. Now excuse me. I'm going to see Jacks so he can show me around. Have a good day." She picked up her things and left. I heard as I closed his office door.

I walked in, locked the door behind me and slowly pulled my shirt off. I took my hair out of the bun I had it in and shook my hair out. Then I unbuttoned and unzipped my jeans slowly, not looking away from his heated gaze.

"So you let Amy take away some s****l tension a few times?" I pushed him back in his chair and kissed him. I didn't let him answer. —------------------While I kissed him I unbuttoned his pants and reached into his boxer briefs. I pulled his erect c*** out. He gulped audibly. I slid down to the floor on my knees. "Is that what you wanted? Me on my knees?" I looked him in his eyes as I took a long lick from his base to tip. He moaned loudly. I moaned as well. I enjoyed the way he tasted. I slid him in my mouth then.

"Oh Desire!!!" He moaned out. I flattened my tongue and ran it up and down the large vein on the underside of his c***. I kept eye contact as I bottomed out and swallowed as his c*** hit the back of my throat. "No, I'm not c****** in your mouth." He pulled his wet d*** out of my mouth. He pulled me to my feet and ripped my lace panties off. "Sit on the desk, right here." He patted the spot, and I sat down. He placed my feet on the arms of his chair. I leaned back slightly. "That's what I want." He growled, staring at my core. "I want to eat your p**** until you c** for me." He stayed sitting in his chair, slid closer, and put his legs under the desk. He slid his tongue across my a** to my c**t. He growled and it rolled through his tongue.

"Oh Goddess…" I moaned out. He sucked my c*** into his mouth and growled the whole time. He pushed his thick fingers inside and continued his torture on my c***. It didn't take long for my p**** to clench around his probing fingers and for me to scream out. "Jacks, oh Jacks!!!!" He slid his fingers out of me and sucked them clean.

"Mmmm better than any dessert I've ever tasted. I'm not done with you, beautiful. Stand up. Turn around and bend over the desk baby." He slid his chair back. I felt him run his hands between my thighs. I heard his slacks hit the floor. I felt him slowly pushing himself into my p****. "Aah Desire, you feel so good quivering around my d***. I'm going to push this finger into your a**." I moaned lowly while a thick finger slid inside. His hands held my hips and a**. "Hard or soft Desire. How do you want me baby? Tell me." He pulled his hips back and rocked back forward hard.

"Mmmm hard love. F*** me Jacks!" I moaned loudly. He grabbed my hair in a tight hold. He rocked back and forth, pounding into me. "Oh yes… Jacks. Goddess." I just kept c****** repeatedly. I felt him tense.

He roared out my name, "Desire!" I felt him buckle, and thank goodness his chair was there to catch him. He was shaking. So was I. We were covered in perspiration and breathing heavily.

—-------------------"Damn. Give me a minute and we'll go upstairs and take a shower. I need one." His breathing eased. "Desire? It might seem like a bad time to ask this but…?"

"Just ask my love." I said.

"I don't want you to get upset with me. Was that about you and me or my past with Amy?"

"That was about us. I don't have any reason to want to hurt Amy or compete with the past. When she told me she used to suck you off and you kept your eyes closed the whole time, I knew it was my mouth you wanted. I just thought I would give you what you wanted." I looked down at my hands now. I grabbed my clothes and slid them on. I didn't look at him the whole time. At some point he pulled his boxers and slacks up. He walked toward the door and unlocked it.

"Let's go take a shower." He grabbed my hand. I followed behind him silently. I was seething. I started crying quietly. We walked past the empty reception area. He pushed the button for the elevator. When it opened he pulled me along with him. He pushed a panel that popped open and placed his thumb over the reader. The elevator opened on the top floor and he stepped out with me in tow. "Go ahead and look around." He said. "I'll go get us something to wear. Damn it! Look at me Desire." I looked at him. I could feel the tears running down my face. He reached up to wipe the tears away and I pulled away. "I hurt you?" He asked. I looked away from him. "S***! Desire baby, I'm sorry."

I just stared at my shoes. "I don't know what was more hurtful. The fact that you thought I was so vindictive, that I would hurt her for a past, I wasn't in. Or that her feelings meant more to you than your pregnant mate's. Is there another shower? What we did in your office is making me feel cheap and dirty now. I'd rather shower alone." He ripped the hair tie out of his hair and pulled his hair. He got on his knees in front of me.

"Desire please forgive me. I never thought I would hurt you asking that question. Piss you off maybe but not hurt you." The elevator door opened behind me. Flambé and Matt walked in. I turned. Flambé looked at my face and Jackson's pleading look.

"S***. Ok let's get you two showered and changed." He said, jumping into action. "I'll take Desire to a guest room and get her ready to meet your pack."

"I don't know if it's the best day to meet them, Flame." I said pointing to my face. "This won't stop."

"No offense baby but what happened and your hormones ganged up on you. I'll make you feel better in no time." He held out his hand and I walked to him and took it. He looked at Jacks, gave him a nod and got on the elevator. "My queen, look at me." I looked into his eyes. "Oh baby. He doesn't care about her feelings. He cared that it was about you two. He wanted it to be special for both of you and it was. Until, he asked that dumb a**** question. Damn that was hot."

"You can see it?"

"Oh yeah I can. S***!" I looked at him questionly. He grabbed my hand and put it over his stiff d***. "If you would have done that to me, I wouldn't have lasted as long as he did. You went in there and took as well as you gave."

"You don't think I did it to hurt Amy?"

"No from everything I see, you helped her, then tried to satisfy his fantasy."

"Thank you."

"For what? Telling the truth?"

"The way he asked after made me feel dirty. Like I hurt that girl on purpose. I offered her your services by the way. Just to see if you can help her find her mate."

"Ok so you made nice with a local who is in love with one of your mates. Hmm."

"Hmm what Flame?"

"What would you do if you met one of my ex partners?" I growled.

"I would try to handle it the same way. But I know the circumstances are different. They turned you on, got you excited, made your d*** hard, made you want to f*** them, and with Jacks it wasn't that way at all."

"Because I didn't meet you when I was four. That's not my fault. Just like it wouldn't be my partner's fault either." He said calmly.

"I know it's irrational, ok. I know it makes no sense, but I gave you my virginity Flame. It was special to me. There are no words for it."

"So when Jacks gave you his, it wasn't special? Tell me it didn't feel almost the same. The only exception was it wasn't me."

"Are you telling me you felt like you were losing your virginity when you took mine? That it felt special to make love to me that first time?"

"I will swear it with my dying breath. No other woman has made me feel like you do when I'm inside you." He swallowed. "And damn, I want to be inside you right now." He groaned loudly and rubbed the back of his head. He opened the door to a room. There was a red pants suit, with panties and a bra across the bed. "You're showing a little bit." I had a little bump on my belly.

"How the hell?"

"Usual pregnancies for a shifter is 5 months and I think our little princess is getting a boost from all of our royal blood."

"So how long do we have?"

"Are you panicking?" I nodded. "I'll tell you anyway. Three and a half months. There is no time for shock. Come and get in the shower now."

I was in a state of shock. I couldn't move or respond when he pushed me into the bathroom. I just stood there. Flambé looked in and noticed. "Desire if I have to do this, it's going to take longer." I still couldn't move. "Ok baby." He stepped in the bathroom and turned the water on in the shower. He started taking my clothes off. I noticed the more naked I got, the harder he got. He took his shirt off and I stared at his chest. He is a gorgeous man. He unfastened my bra and my hands grazed the muscles on his chest. They spasmed under the light touch. "You keep that up and I'm going to f*** you in this shower." So I did it again. He growled and ripped my bra away. "Get in this shower now."

—------------------- I was under the water when he stepped in. "Did you think I wouldn't stick to my word?" He grabbed me by my hair forcefully and kissed me. He reached lower with both hands and lifted me up under my a**. He pinned me against the tiled wall. "Tell me to stop if you don't want me to. If you don't, I can't stop myself." I reached between our bodies and grabbed his d***. I stroked him a few times before I pushed him inside my core. He pounded into me, I wrapped my legs around his waist and let him make me feel better about everything that was happening. Again I came repeatedly. "f**k!" He gently washed me and himself after he finished. —-------------------I toweled myself off and put my clean clothes on. "I think you need to go up a bra size baby."

I looked down at my boobs and nodded. "Like 42DD wasn't big enough."

"Hey! I love your t**s. Don't talk bad about them." He said smiling. I laughed and finished dressing. "You look beautiful, my queen." I looked him over.

"You're looking sexy too. You always look amazing in your tailored suits."

We walked out of the room laughing. Jacks, Matt, and Jean looked like they were waiting for us. "HI everyone. Are we running late?" I said smiling.

"No, actually we're on time." Jacks said nervously. I walked to him and grabbed his hand and gave him a slow, soft kiss.

"I'm sorry I'm half crazy." I whispered to him.

"No, I'm sorry for asking such a dumb question. You're my pregnant mate, and even though the pregnancy hormones are a little early, I should have known better."

"Actually, by her pregnancy, it's on time." Flambé said, shocking him. His mouth opened and closed a few times. Then he shook himself.

"It was a shock to me as well. Let's go before the 'what ifs' start." I pulled him to the elevator. Everyone piled in behind us.

We walked to the community center together. When we entered everyone was sitting. On the stage to the left, there were 4 older people sitting at an honorific table.

"The council." Jackson whispered. "Alright, let's go." He looked nervous and I held his hand tighter. "Bring Flame too." He whispered again. I grabbed Flambé's hand and we proceeded to the stage.

Matt and Jean gathered extra chairs and carried them on stage. Jackson released my hand and gestures to one of the chairs. He steps forward and in a commanding tone starts the meeting.

"Good afternoon Bloody Claws Pack and Elder Council. For a few years now, everyone wondered when I would find my mate. Little did everyone know, I found her when I was 5 years old. At the time she was 1 month old. We've talked of some of the males challenging me for my position. Needless to say things were getting hectic. So, without further ado, I'd like you all to meet my mate, Desire Broen." I smiled and stood next to him.

There was some grumbling from the crowd. Some males, but mostly the females weren't happy.

"Stop!" Jackson alpha commanded. "Any male that still wants to challenge me has to wait. I have a more important sparring match first. I can tell you females," he chuckled. "You have to wait 3 and a half months, if you want to challenge my mate. I wouldn't advise anyone to do it though."

A woman on the left stood up. Her wrinkled skin showed that she smiled more than anything. "Why would they have to wait?"

"She's carrying our pup, Madam Whitman."

"When you say 'our', you mean?"

"Mine and the alpha of the Silver Moon Pack. We have found ourselves in an unconventional triad."

"We're not a triad pack alpha."

At this, Desire patted him on the back and held his hand. "Madam Councilwoman, I realize that me being mates with Jackson and Flambé will cause a stir. But I'm sure you know of Louise Boucher, the Silver Moon pack's seer?" Ms. Whitman nodded. "Has she or anyone with the gift in her family, ever been wrong in their prophecies?"

"Only if there was a definitive way to change what would happen." She stated.

"Last night, Louise sacrificed her life to save many, including this pack. She knew I was supposed to take Jackson and her son as my mates. All 3 of us come from royal blood. Jackson, coming from the first native changed to a shifter, Flambé from the La Lup family in France, and my own bloodline from the Lupine from Carpathian clans. She said we were meant to join all the packs because a war unlike any we've ever seen was coming. We have traitors in our midst and we just want to be together. But most of all, we want to save our kind. Just yesterday I was an inactive shifter. None of this was in my plans."

"You've been marked by the alpha, child?"

"No, not yet Madam Chairwoman. My mates were under attack and I reacted to save them, even knowing I'm carrying our pup. I was bitten by a pack member, who is also of royal blood, which activated my genes."

"Is there proof?" An elder who looked like he frowned all the time said.

"Does anyone have a pin or a sewing needle?" A woman ran up with a pin. "Thank you." I poked my finger and squeezed it to make sure a larger drop of blood came out. I held up my finger. Murmurs broke out all over. Ms. Whitman walked over and sniffed my finger.

"It's real. It hasn't been tampered with or anything. It's her blood." I still found it amazing that my blood is gold. I offered my finger to Jackson, who lapped my finger. "This is an unprecedented turn of events. The Queen, Alphas, and Council will come together to find the right thing to do for our people."

"Before we leave because we have another meeting after this, are there any questions?"

"Who's your new seer Alpha Boucher?" The elder man asked.

"Winston Jerraud, that would be me. I was the only child my parents had and the only one my mother trusted with the gift."

"So you're not just a seer? You're an Alpha seer?"

"That's correct sir. April 14th of next year. No need to speak about it." Flambé said smoothly.

"That's what Louise told me. Ok."

"Any other questions? We'll get in touch with the council within 24 hours about a meeting of minds. Females who had an issue with me being your alpha's mate, please meet me outside to talk. Hopefully we can resolve this peacefully."

Everyone stood and filed out of the exit. Jean, Matt, and Julie stayed with us. When I took a step the whole group moved with me. Jackson and Flambé talked behind me. "I can point them out, but doesn't your pack have laws saying, we need proof before we convict? And just talking to these people won't give us what we need. Todd will only admit to knowing one of the traitors and their actions other than his father." Flame stated.

"Does he need persuasion?" Jacks asked.

"No. He's cracking just from being locked up."

"Are you going to challenge him for trying to kill you?"

"No. He'll be useful later. Besides, Desire needs to talk to him first."

"You trust him not to hurt her or our pup?"

"No. But she can defend herself. I feel sorry for him when she's done with him."

"Then why didn't you tell me? She could have at least put one of her challengers into their place."

"And have them go after Clara? No. Or shift on her? She'll handle it soon."

Jackson looked terrified. "She can't shift while she's carrying our pup."

I looked back at them. "I wasn't planning on fighting anyone. If a woman still wants to challenge me after Clara's born, we'll hash it out." When we stepped out I noticed everyone was standing outside. I guess it's to find out what kind of queen and leader I'll be. To the left there is a group of angry looking women. Amy stood outside of the group. "Amy, it's good to see you again. Were you in the meeting?" She nodded. "Good, let me formally introduce you to Flambé Boucher, my other mate and the alpha seer I told you about." He took a step forward and shook Amy's hand.

"It's a pleasure. Can you help?"

"He's actually in a pack I'm allied with. He's a young wolf like yourself. I can introduce you at the party we're throwing next week. I'm thinking of calling it 'The Mates Ball'. What do you think?"

"That sounds great." She said excitedly.

"Will you help us organize it? We have a lot to do, just in this pack alone and I can see your help would be invaluable."

"I'd love to Alpha."

"Thanks. I'll get your information from Jackson. Plan it like you want, money's no object, ok?"

"No object?"

"Between Desire and my pack I'm sure we can spend $17,345."

"That's how much it'll cost?"

"With your great ideas being at the forefront, yes."

"Thank you again Alpha. I'll start planning right away." He nodded. The other females listened in as I waited for their conversation to finish. Then I spoke to the others.

"Hello ladies. I realized that one of a pack's biggest concerns is finding mates for everyone. I'm not promising my mate will be as easily able to help you all. But as you heard we'll throw a ball. Please introduce yourself to us and let's see if we can help."

We met thirty females. I stayed pleasant even if I was met with aggression. One particular female was 27. Her eyes were blazing at me. "I don't believe in the nonsense of seers. I was the one the council was going to mate with Jackson." Jackson walked closer and I held up my hand to keep him back.

"It's fine if you don't believe it." I didn't move or back down. Ingrid the non-believer walked into my space. "No one do anything. I offered means to find everyone a mate. We generously offered to pay for the ball, to join the mates. If you want to be alpha b**** that badly, I'll see you in three and a half months. Our daughter is worth more than your pettiness." Ingrid's Claws extended and she swung towards my stomach. Before she could get any purchase I grabbed her hand in mid air. "No class. You're definitely not a woman and once I have my daughter, I'll treat you like the b**** you are." I felt my eyes glowing. I simply flicked my wrist and she flew into the air, flipping and landed in the field a little away from the community center.

Flambé chuckled, "It's time to go love. Jackson we'll need Amy's contact information. Ladies, if we didn't get a chance to meet, give Amy your contact information and I'll call by the end of the week." Flambé grabbed my hand. I grabbed Jackson's and we walked to the car.

"Well that went well." Jean said.

"Yeah. Desire showed she's not one to be screwed with." Julie said, chuckling. "They thought you'd be a pushover until you showed the strongest female in the pack that she's not s***."

"Just like a true alpha. My Alpha." Matt said. After we were all in the car and pulled away he continued. "Let me make Julie and my intent clear. We have discussed a possible pack riff on both sides. No matter what, you three will have our allegiance." Flame nodded.

"Tell me if I'm wrong, Flame but if a riff does happen it'll be a small one. At least that's my feeling." Jackson said and Flame nodded.

"You're right. I noticed your pack lands are three miles down from mine, combining land and building up our unity will be easier than expected. How didn't we know we were neighbors?"

"Well we haven't had disputes."

"This meeting is going to go pretty much the same way." I said.

"No, there will be less chaos. My mother prepared the council and the pack for this for a while. There's only one thing that will…" Flambé looked at Jackson.

"The triad." Jackson said. "Binding our packs." Flame nodded. "We need something to eat, especially Desire. Have you eaten anything?"

"No, I haven't had the time or an appetite."

"We're stopping when we get in the community. There is a little restaurant." Flambé stated.

"Mia's?" Matt asked.

"You really went exploring." Flambé said while laughing.

Matt smiled sheepishly. "Julie and I worked hard all night. We needed to eat and there wasn't anything in the guesthouse." He shrugged as he pulled into Mia's parking lot.
