True Beta

Surprise Wedding

Brea’s POV

I woke up in a strange room. Someone’s arms were wrapped tightly around me. My heart started pounding, almost stopping taking in his scent. I was home.

I didn’t move, as I lay in James’ arms. His breathing was deep and even, his warmth was everything I remembered it to be. My body was shivering from the sparks where his skin touched mine. I couldn’t believe I was finally home with my mate. He had helped me shower last night and I had fallen asleep. He had put me in his shirt. My back didn’t ache anymore, but my breasts did. Reese must have slept through the night. I needed to pump. I tried wiggling out of James’ arms, but he only tightened them. I tried again and he growled.

“I just got you back and you’re already trying to escape from me.” He mumbled, loosening his arms.

“I need to feed Reese,” I said, wiggling away from him. I grabbed my sleeping baby, making sure I grabbed his bear. He latched quickly. He didn’t even wake up.

James had sat up and was watching us. His head was tilted, and his brows furrowed, “He’s bigger.”

I nodded. “He eats most of the day now….”

James didn’t say anything else, but his eyes went wide, flashing black. Gray must have told him something. He was frozen in place as I finished feeding Reese. He was content for a few more hours. I crawled back into the large bed with James laying my head on his chest. Feeding had gotten so exhausting. I laid my head on James’ chest listening to his heart beating, lulling me to sleep.

I woke up again, James was in the corner swaying Reese. He was singing a lullaby. I lay in the bed watching as Reese reached up and grabbed James’ cheeks. They started to giggle. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I watched. This is what a father looked like. I didn’t have one, and my son had almost lost his.

“Good afternoon, sleepyhead,” James said, turning to look at me. His eyes had gotten brighter and the bags from last night were mostly gone. He had scruff lining his chin.

I smiled at him. He helped me get out of bed. He showed me a bag he had packed for me. I grabbed my clothes and went to the bathroom to get ready. He had packed his favorite dress. It was a purple knitted sweater dress that went to my knees. I pulled a brush through my tangled hair. I decided to leave it. When I came out of the bathroom, James was bouncing Reese on his knee laughing with him.

James looked up at me, his eyes trailed down my body. I blushed as he winked at me. He held his arms open, and I went into them. He kissed my cheek softly, his lips lingering on my skin.

“Are you hungry, beautiful?” He asked.

I nodded. He led me to the dining room. Delilah was sitting on Deacon’s lap. Axel was there next to them. A very tall man, with dark brown skin and jet-black hair that had formed waves on the top of his head. He had warm brown eyes and a sharp jaw. When he saw James holding me, he broke out into a smile.

“Well, you must be Luna Brea!” He was soft-spoken, but he still had an authority about him. He hugged me, quickly before James pulled me from him. “Welcome to Golden Sun.”

“Thank you.” I looked at Delilah, “What’s going on?”

“This is Leon. He is the Alpha.” James said. He had set Reese in a highchair before pulling me into his lap. “He was at the lab with us.”

“Oh!” I said. I knew the name sounded familiar.

Axel was grinning at me, “It’s good to see you again, Luna.”

“I missed you too, Axel!” I said. I really did. I missed my pack, “Is Lacy here?”

He shook his head, “She couldn’t make it.” He looked at James and smiled bigger.

I looked up at James, who was also smiling, “We promised that we would let her tell you.”

James stood up to get breakfast from the large buffet. I ate until my stomach was filled to the brink and I was exhausted. James insisted I get checked out by the pack doctor. Though besides the whippings, no one had touched me. We made it back to our room. James laid down a sleeping Reese, tucking his little bear under his arm. I laid down and James pulled the blankets up to my shoulder. He climbed into bed with me.

“I missed you, so much, baby.” He brushed a stray hair from my cheek.

I leaned into him, brushing my lips against his. “I missed you too.”

He kissed me deeply, swiping his tongue over my lips, asking for entrance. I granted him. He stroked his tongue over mine, groaning. He pulled me closer to him and I could feel his erection prodding my belly. He lifted my dress to my waist as his fingers dug deeper into my skin. I would have a bruise, but I didn’t care. He flipped us, trapping me under him. He pulled back to look into my eyes, a tear rolled down his cheek before he crashed his lips back into mine. He nibbled on my lower lip before breaking our kiss to pull the dress over my head. He sighed as he looked at my purple lacy bra and panty set. He always said purple was his favorite color on me.

Just as he brought his lips back to mine, there was a knock on the door. James growled, pulling the blanket over me before stopping at the door.

“There had better be a good f*****g reason-“ He stopped when he saw Delilah standing in the doorway. “Alpha!”

She started laughing before rolling her eyes, “I’m not your Alpha, James. But we need to talk and then Deacon and I are leaving.”

“Yes, Alpha.” James closed the door. No matter how much Delilah wanted him to look at her as just another Luna, he couldn’t. He was her Beta and Gray wouldn’t let him disrespect her in any way.

I got dressed again and fixed my hair. James led us to Alpha Leon’s office. It was painted a deep golden color with white accents. His couches were black, offsetting the bright colors in the room. He had a large mahogany desk in the center of the room. He was leaning on the edge of the desk while Axel had taken a seat in the single chair. Delilah was sitting on Deacon’s lap. The woman from last night was standing behind Leon’s desk. James sat down on the couch, pulling me to sit next to him. He was still holding Reese, who hadn’t woken up.

“Kieara, report,” Leon said.

“We have the former Alpha Julius in our cells. He isn’t talking, but we’ll get something. We found some of Blackwood’s members at the packhouse. They are definitely selling their she-wolves to different packs. Leslie found a book in the office of all their sales.”

Axel growled, “Has the council been informed?”

“Yes. They are sending an investigator out today. No one has seen Alexander since last night.”

James sat taller, “When we find him, he is mine.” He tightened his hold on me, “He abused my mate. It’s my right to kill him.”

“What about Blackwood?” Delilah asked.

“No one can find Raymond either. I believe that they are hiding together.” Kiara said.

“They’re gonna come for us all,” Deacon said grimly. He pulled Delilah closer into his lap.

“They can try. No one is dumb enough to come to a pack as large as Golden Sun. Everyone knows who I am,” Delilah stated. “James, sadly, you have the smallest pack. I will send some of our warriors out to Cold River right now. Leon will send some of his warriors when you are ready to leave, which I would suggest be soon.” There was no official command, but her voice held authority.

We settled down our conversation. Delilah was sending 300 warriors and Leon, whose pack was even larger than Delilah’s, would send 500. Leon insisted on sending us on his plane. Delilah and Deacon had driven so they would drive back.

“We’ll see you soon, Luna,” Delilah said, hugging me. “Keep this one in check. He can be quite a handful.”

“I will. Thank you so much, Alpha.” I smiled at her. I shook Deacon’s hand. “Thank you as well, Alpha.”

“Oh, we all know who the real Alpha is,” Deacon joked. “James. Try to keep out of trouble.”

We made it up to our room and gathered our things before we got on a plane. Leon had gotten a car seat for Reese. I had never been on a plane before, but once we were in the air, an attendant gave us some lunch and I fell asleep.

James was shaking me awake. Ky was driving James’ truck, Axel was in the front seat. We were pulling into Cold River territory. Our pack members had lined up on the driveway and were cheering and clapping. There were howls from every side of us. James beamed with pride as he helped me out of the truck. He held Reese’s car seat in one hand and wrapped his other arm around my waist. We stood at the top of the steps, letting our pack see us reunited.

“Cold River! Let us welcome home our Luna!” Axel boomed. The howls grew wild. Everyone shifted in their places and bowed low to the ground.

James and I stripped and shifted as well, leading our pack into a thunderous howl. It echoed off the hills that surrounded our territory. We were together. We were strong and nothing could break our bond.

James led me through the house, our staff had decorated the dining room. Purple streamers were going through the beams. A banner that read ‘Welcome home, Luna!” was right above a makeshift stage. Delilah and Deacon were standing on the stage. There was a flower archway. Lacy was standing on the right with Kara next to her. Ky and Axel were standing on the left side. They were all smiling at each other. I looked up at James.

“What’s-“

“I’m not spending another day without being tied to you in every way possible.” James smiled down at me. “Marry me, here right now.”

A smile broke over my face. Lacy got to grab Reese out of his car seat. He giggled as she kissed his cheek softly. James walked with me up to the stage. Delilah gave a speech about love and how strong an Alpha and Luna’s bond made a pack. She looked at James, who had tears streaming down his face.

“Brea, you’ve become the air I breathe and without you, I felt myself dying. I never want to feel that again. You are the strongest person I have ever met in my life, including the True Alpha next to us.” He chuckled, “You’re an incredible mother, astounding Luna, and my absolute best friend. I have fallen so deeply in love with you, and I can’t wait to show you how much for the rest of our lives.”

The tears spilled over my eyes. I couldn’t speak so I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him deeply. Someone cleared their throat, and I could hear Axel’s deep rumble of a laugh.

“Usually, you wait to do that after you say, ‘I do’,” Deacon muttered.

“Alpha, please hurry,” James said eagerly.

Delilah laughed. She skipped over the questions of whether we would love, cherish, and protect each other. She simply declared us husband and wife. The council member that I hadn’t noticed before stood and completed the Luna ritual. I felt James’ and the power of our pack flow into me. There were gasps and howls as our pack was completed. The crowd roared with cheers as James swept me off my feet for a breath-taking kiss.

We sat down and pack members congratulated us and wished us blessings. Axel stood and gave a toast about how excited he was about his brother had found his mate and Luna. He also announced that Lacy was pregnant with his pup! I squealed and hugged her. Deacon had pulled Delilah to the dance floor and was swaying with her. Ky asked me to dance, getting a growl from James. He laughed as he circled me around. I had never been much of a dancer, but Ky made it easy. Lukas danced with me next. It was awkward.

“I think I’m going to give my blessing to Beta Ky,” Lukas said sadly. He was watching his sister lean her head against Ky’s chest as he swayed with her.

“I think you should. Ky is a good man.”

He just nodded. James tapped him on the shoulder before pulling me into his arms. He kissed me deeply, cupping my face in his large hands. My skin sparked at the contact. I rested my head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. He swayed me, and it felt like time stopped. We didn’t need to say anything.

Delilah came and said she and Deacon were heading home. I thanked them for everything. Deacon kissed my forehead and hugged James. Soon the dining hall cleared out. James led me outside to the cottage he lived in when I first met him. He carried me over the threshold to the bedroom.

There were candles scattered throughout the room, giving it a romantic glow. He set me on my feet, crashing his lips to mine. He pulled my dress up to my hips. I broke our kiss and pulled it off completely. James groaned as he looked at me. I was still in the purple bra and panty set and stockings. He picked me up by my thighs and walked me to bed. He laid down on his back, making me straddle him. He brought his lips back to mine, as he unfastened my bra. He wiggled my underwear down. He picked me up and settled me to sit on his face. His tongue darted out and parted my folds. I was already so wet.

“Delicious.” He growled before thrusting his tongue deep inside me.

He grabbed my hips, moving them to match his tongue's movements. He found my bud sucking it between his lips as his tongue traced patterns on it. He inserted two fingers inside my wet core, stretching me for him. I was whimpering as he twisted his fingers, rubbing different pleasure spots. I felt my body wind into a hot ball of need as I rode his face. I wanted to pleasure him too. I felt behind me as I found his belt buckle and undid his jeans. He sat up a little as he let me pull his jeans and boxers down. His long, thick erection popped out from its confinement. It was jutting out bobbing as James continued to eat me out. He was quickly bringing me closer to release. I turned around to taste his pre-c*m that was seeping out of his engorged head.

I pulled him deeper into my mouth, making James groan, the vibrations bringing me closer to the orgasm I was desperately wanting. I hallowed my cheeks to take him further down in my throat, humming to give him the same vibrations he had given me earlier. He moaned deeply, pushing my body over the edge. I screamed out my release on his manhood, making him groan his own orgasm as he shot his seed down my throat. I swallowed him before I felt James flip us, so I was on my belly and he was behind me. He thrust himself into me. I felt a small pinch where his tip was touching my cervix, but I loved it.

He started to slowly move his hips, his hands kneading my butt cheeks. “f**k. So good.” He grunted as he moved inside of me.

“So good.” I couldn’t help the moan.

He started to pound into me, slapping my ass. He groaned after each smack. Gray was showing his dominance. He loved how perfectly tinged my ass was. He grabbed my hips and forced me into the bed, still pounding into me. I was quickly thrown over into another orgasm. James put me back on my knees and found my c**t roughly pinched.

He would pull out until just his head was inside me and pinch my bud as he pushed deep inside me. The sounds of my wetness were driving him, and I could feel him tense as he owned my body. He could have it. I wanted this and more. I wanted it all.

“More?” He read my thoughts.

I moaned as he flipped us over. He grabbed my hips and bounced me up and down at his length. I held on to his arms as I ground onto him deeper still, rocking back and forth. I threw my head back as another orgasm rolled through my body. This wasn’t like the first time we made love. It was hard and rough. Gray wanted to show me who I belonged to. Even though I left to save his life, I could have died and killed him, and he was very angry at me. This was my punishment. James growled at my thoughts.

Before I could blink, he had used his wolf speed to flip me onto my belly. He slapped my ass hard.

“You left me.” He growled. He smacked the other cheek, “You put yourself in danger.” Two more snacks.

“You took my son.” Smack! Smack!

“f**k you look so sexy.” He softly kissed where his handprints were. He settled himself between my legs, rubbing my juices around the head of his d**k. Pulling me up so my back was to his chest, he impaled me on his length. “So f*****g good, Brea.”

His thrusts were punishing, but I wanted more. I could feel my body begging to be released. He reached around my c**t and pinched as his canines sank into my neck. He had marked me again. I screamed out as I came. I could feel James's warm seed coating my walls as he spilled out of me.

He laid me down, pulling me out of me. I wanted to cry as he moved away from me. He came back a second later and began cleaning the fluids from my inner thighs. He threw the washcloth into the hamper before climbing into bed with me. Pulling me close, he kissed my forehead, enveloping me in warmth. We fell asleep.
