Leah POV
“Hey, Babe, it’s time to wake up,” Silas says as he gently shakes my arm, waking me from my slumber.
“Mhmmm,” I grumble as I turn my head to face him. I didn’t even realize I fell asleep on the four hour drive to Silas’ pack, but I guess the lack of sleep from the last few days caught up to me. “Are we here?” I ask Silas as I stretch and sit up in the passenger seat.
“We’re just driving up to the border now. I figured you might want to see the territory.”
“Yeah, I do, thanks.” I look out the window as Silas drives through the border. Two guards walk up to the car as we pull through. I can see multiple guards walking the border in both human and wolf form. I also see the similar security cameras that I have set up around the border gate.
“Good afternoon, Alpha, welcome back,” a burly guard says as he walks up to the driver side window.
“Thanks Sam. It feels good to be back. Any trouble?”
“No Alpha. Everything’s been quiet.”
“Good. Sam, this is my mate, Alpha Leah Giametti.” I see Sam’s eyes get wide at the introduction. I guess the news of our mating hadn’t spread quite as quickly on Fallen Oak, as it did my pack.
“It’s nice to meet you Alpha,” he says to me, tilting his head in respect.
I smile, “Thank You, it’s nice to meet you too.”
“Sam, Did Garrett tell you about our other guests? Crescent Moon’s Lead warrior, Tristan Nichols and the four warriors who will be creating the training program with us and Red Wood are in the SUV behind us. Can you please make sure they get to their quarters and meet up with Nick?”
“Of course Alpha,”the guard Sam takes a step back so we can drive through and I see his eyes glaze over as he’s mind linking. Silas begins to drive through the territory and to the pack house.
Surprisingly, after I dropped the bomb about my family history, Silas didn’t run the other way. In fact, I think we actually got closer. The rest of the three days he spent at my pack went smoothly. My pack seemed to welcome him with open arms, and he fit right in. Even he and Brett seemed to form a tenuous friendship.
When it was my turn to come to Fallen Oak to meet his mom and the rest of his pack, we decided to make it a business trip, and Tristan and my top chosen warriors came along. The top five warriors from Red Wood would also be arriving tomorrow and that way the group of them could develop the training regiment for the packs and begin implementing the council’s plan.
Just like my pack, Silas’ territory was buried deep in the woods. It was pretty common for packs to be daily isolated so we did not need to worry about humans wandering onto the territory and coming face to face with a pack of massive wolves. We drive for about two miles before I start to see signs of life.
“We’ll take the long way and do a detour through the village.” Silas tells me while squeezing my hand.
“Sounds good,” I tell him. We start to make our way through the pack village. There’s a main street with little restaurants and stores. It’s a Tuesday, so the streets are pretty quiet but those who are around stop and wave at Silas’ truck as we drive through. We pass a playground where a few young pups are running around as their mom’s stand around the perimeter keeping an eye on them.
As we make our way through the more residential area of the village, Silas asks me, “are you nervous, Moyo?”
I nod, “A little. Especially about meeting your mom.”
He looks over at me curiously, “My mom? Really why? She’s gonna love you.”
“I don’t know Si. I’m sure I’m not what she was expecting when she was picturing your mate.”
“Babe, all she wants from my mate is someone who’ll love me and accept me for who I am. She was an Alpha for six years, remember? And Luna for much longer than that. She knows what it’s like.”
I shrug. “I guess.” Silas squeezes my thigh and is about to say something, but we pull up to the pack house and his car is immediately bombarded.
Silas is laughing as he shakes his head and parks the car. “I’m apologizing in advance for Chelsea. I love her like a sister, but she’s out of her damn mind.”
Before I’m completely out of the car, a tall dark skinned girl with wild curly hair descends on me, “Ahh, you must be Leah. I’m so excited to meet you! I’m so happy Silas finally met his mate, he’s been so mopey lately!” The girl brings me into a tight hug, and as confused as I am, I have no choice but to hug her back.
I hear Silas and another guy laughing, “Chels, let her breathe. And I have not been mopey” Silas says as he pries Chelsea away from me and brings me to his side.
“Oh sorry,” she replied sheepishly, “I get over excited. I’m Chelsea, Garrett’s mate.”
I smile warmly at the girl. She’s younger than us, and her energy is contagious, “It’s ok. It’s nice to meet you. I’m Leah.”
“Nice to see you again, Leah,” Garrett says, walking up to me and giving me a hug, “welcome to our home. It’s not quite impressive as your fancy ass packhouse, but we like it.”
I glance up at the pack house behind us. He’s right, it’s not quite as big as mine, but it's still a huge, impressive building. Mine is just out of control. “It looks great. Mine is just ridiculous. My grandfather built it for my grandmother. She had very grand tastes, and PopPop couldn’t deny her anything, so we ended up with a ridiculously extra house.”
Before he could reply, another two people walked up. One was a tall, lanky redhead with dark blue eyes and freckles all over his face. If I couldn’t sense the strong aura of his wolf, I would’ve assumed he was a human. Holding his hand was a petite blonde woman with blue eyes a few shades lighter than her mate’s.
“Leah, this is my Gamma Liam, and his mate Jessica.”
“Hi Leah, it’s nice to meet you,” Liam replies, extending his hand to me.
“Nice to meet you too.”
His mate Jessica smiles brightly at me, “I’m not as much of a hugger as Chelsea, but I am excited to meet you. And she wasn’t lying, Silas has been mopey ever since Garrett met his mate. I’m glad we’re finally a whole unit.”
Her words struck me as I warmly greeted her. I didn’t have a chance to think about it much, but now Brett was the only one out of us, out of all of us actually, who still hadn’t met his mate. I knew he was reluctant to meet her after everything that happened with his parents, but still, I hoped he was doing ok. I made a mental note to make sure I kept an eye on him when I got home.
Silas grabs my hand and leads me up to the wrap around porch of his pack house. Standing by the large double doors was a regal woman probably in her early fifties. Her dark chocolate skin was absolutely flawless except for a couple wrinkles around her eyes. She had long braids that fell all the way down to right about her butt. She was looking at me warmly with the same green/hazel eyes Silas has, and I knew this was his mother.
“Welcome back, mwana,” she says to Silas, her voice filled with love.
“Hey, Ma,” Silas said warmly as he embraces his mother in a hug, “This is my mate, Leah.”
“Hi, Mrs. Davis, it’s nice to meet you,” I say stiffly.
She waves her hand dismissively and embraces me in a hug, “Please, dear, call me Nia. We’re family now. I’ve been praying for the Goddess to bless my son with a mate for years, and I see she more than fulfilled my expectations.” I blushed as I returned her hug. I could feel her warmth and acceptance even through the hug and it reminded me of hugs from Aunt Lucy.
“Please, let’s come inside,” she tells us, “I had lunch prepared for us.”
Liam shifts uncomfortable, “Actually, Aunt Ni, I need to borrow Silas for a bit. We have some things we have to go over. Then we’ll come down for lunch.”
Nia, looked at the three men disapprovingly but sighed. “Fine. But you will all be at dinner tonight. I want to have all six of my kids together in one room for a meal before I head back to the city. Who knows the next time I’ll have this opportunity.” It took me a second to realize she was talking about me and the other girls as well and I couldn’t help but blush again. I never expected her to accept me so readily.
“We’ll be here for dinner, Ma, I promise.” Silas says while kissing his mom on the cheek. “I planned a pack dinner for tomorrow to introduce Leah, but I figured I’d give her the day to adjust.”
Silas embraced me in a hug, “Will be you ok Leah, or do you want to come with us?”
“No, go ahead. I’ll spend some time with the ladies, if that’s ok with them. I’m always surrounded by too much testosterone, it’ll be nice to spend some time with females for a change.”
Silas laughed and kissed my lips. I enjoyed the sparks spreading between us before separating. “Go, do your thing,” I tell him, “I’ll see you later.”
After another hug, Silas followed Liam and Garrett into the packhouse.
“C’mon,” Chelsea tells me excitedly, “We’ll give you a tour.” She grabs my hand and drags me inside.
*******
It’s a few hours later, and I’m lying in Silas’ huge king sized bed, lazily tracing the tattoos on his arms.
“How are you doing, Moyo? Did my insane family overwhelm you?”
I laugh, “They are definitely a lot, but no. I felt so welcomed and immediately a part of the family. I was so worried about meeting your mom, but she’s amazing. Now I just have to meet the rest of the pack.”
“Who will love you as much as the rest of us. There’s nothing to worry about Leah. You are a kick ass Alpha, you’ll do great.”
“I know. I’m excited to meet them officially tomorrow.”
“Great. Red Wood will be here in the morning. We’ll do all the official s**t during the day, and then pack dinner tomorrow night.”
“Sounds good.” I’m not really interested in pack business though. Silas’ well defined chest is on full display and the outline of his d**k in his boxers is making my mouth water. “I’m hungry,” I tell him as I begin to sit up.
“You are?” He asks confused, “we can go downstairs and grab something.”
I do my best attempt at a seductive smile and trail my fingers over the band of his boxers. “It’s not food I’m hungry for.”
It takes Silas a second but I see the understanding crosses his face as his eyes go from hazel to dark green. He doesn’t answer but allows me to scoot his legs off the side of the bed. I kneel down in between his legs keeping eye contact. I slowly slide his boxers off. Silas’ eyes keep alternating between hazel and darker green and I know Kingston wants to come out and play too.
I pull his boxers all the way off and wrap my hand around his shaft that is already halfway to hard. I begin to move my hand up and down, rubbing my thumb down the underside.
“Mhmm,” he mutters as his hands begin caressing my head. Taking that as a hint to take it to the next level, I lick his tip teasing him.
I toy with him a bit, alternating between my hand and my mouth, keeping my touches light and gentle. “Leah, babe,” he mutters, tightening his grip in my hair and I know he wants more. I finally relent with my teasing and take him in my mouth. I start off slow taking about half of his length. “You want me to go faster, baby?” I ask teasingly.
“Ugh, yes,” he manages to get out. I stop playing my game. Allowing him to guide me with his hands, I open my mouth wide and hollow out my cheeks to make room for his massive shaft. Silas f***s my mouth, using my hair to guide me. I place my hands on his muscular thighs for leverage as his tip touches the back of my throat.
“Oh, moyo, baby, I’m going to come,” he moans, as he lifts his hips, going deeper down my throat.
I pull away just enough to answer, “Go ahead, I want to taste you.”
Silas groans but pushes me away, “No, not this time, I want to come inside of you the first time you’re in my bed.”
Silas helps me to stand up and brings me into his lap. “It’s my turn now,” he tells me as he kisses me deeply, and I know we’re going to have another sleepless night.
