David POV
After a long plane ride we are finally arriving back at the pack house. I am glad to be home. As I get out of our black Cadillac SUV I head to the front door to see my mother standing with Sabrina on her left and Nathan on her right. Ignoring Sabrina and my stepbrother I scoop my mother into a big hug.
“Hey mom! How was everything when we were gone?” I say placing a kiss on my mother’s cheek.
“Everything was fine Davy. I missed you tho my sweet boy.” She replies
Before I could answer her my father walks up totally ignoring my mother and placing a kiss on Sabrina’s lips and hugging Nathan. Looking at my mother’s eyes I can see some sadness to them. I can’t wait until I am Alpha and I can kick these low life’s out. My time will come and she will never have to feel this way again.
“Victoria, Do you have anything to report?” My father asks my mother.
“No Conor. Everything went smoothly well you were gone. I had the cook make your favorite for dinner tonight.” My mother’s sweet voice replies.
“What about you my love? Did Victoria treat you well?” My father whispers to Sabrina as he takes her into his arms.
I want to beat the s**t out of him. My father has no respect for my mother. He married her out of convenience is what he said. He always made a point to degrade her specially in front of her w***e Sabrina. I always told my mother to fight back say something. She is always so calm even when s**t like this happens. She always told me that as long as my father was good to me and gave me my birth right she would tolerate Sabrina and Nathan. Just thinking about how he treats his w***e in front of my mother makes me want beat the s**t out of him. Seeing my fist clenched shut tight my mother gently grabs my hand.
“Come my son tell me about your trip?” She gently leads me to her office. Not looking back at the others.
As I enter her office I take a seat on the couch.
“Mother why do you tolerate his behavior?” My voice is laced with anger
“Davy you know why. You are my son and I will do what I must to protect your birth right. This pack is yours. Your time has come son and I hope you become the Alpha I know you are meant to be.” My mother replies in her soothing voice.
“I promise you mother I will make this pack better. I will not allow anyone to disrespect you ever again.” I reply.
“I know son. Now tell me how was the summit? Where you able to get the contracts signed? Did you meet anyone like my future daughter-in-law perhaps?” I see my mother’s bright smile as she mentions future daughter-in-law.
“The summit went well. I did get all the contracts we wanted. This will definitely strengthen my position as Alpha when the time comes. As for a future Luna…… Well lets just say I did meet someone. She is definitely something else that is for sure. She is smart, beautiful and feisty. I know you would love her. Unfortunately it will never work out” I respond.
“Who is this intriguing women you speak of? And why won’t it work.” She gives me a questionable look
“Mom she is Alpha Josh’s daughter. It will never work. You know how much bad blood is there. Plus she is an Alpha of her own pack. Plus she thinks I am an asshole.” I respond.
“Could she possible be your true mate? Look son I did not raise you to shy away from a good women. If there is even a slight possibility she could be the one then don’t let her go. You don’t want to be in a loveless contract.” She responds
“Ya well father would never expect it and I refuse to risk my pack and your happiness mother.” I huff out.
“What if she is your mate? What then? You can’t resist the mate pull my son. Nor would I want you too.” My mother says.
“I would reject the bond mother. There is no other choice. We both know that if I didn’t Nathan would take my place as Alpha. I won’t allow the sacrifice you made for my future go to waste for a women.” I grumble out.
“Ah…. My son have I not taught you anything. The goddess blesses those who choose to listen. Follow her and you will be blessed.” My mother walks to the couch taking a seat next to me. She gently grabs my hand in hers. “You can’t just rejected your mate my son. You would regret it. Trust me there is no better gift then the one the goddess gives you. Now go get some rest and freshen up dinner will be ready soon.”
“Okay mom I will see you later the afternoon.” I place a kiss to her forehead and start heading to my room on the six floor. Taking the elevator to the top floor.
So much is going through my mind. I haven’t had s*x in over a week which is throwing me off. I can’t help my brain wondering to thoughts of Shanna in my bed as I f**k her hard making her scream my name. Dam I need to take a cold shower. Finally as the doors open to the elevator I head to my room opening the door a familiar smell hits. I turn around to see Megan spread out on my bed wearing only red lacy bra and thong.
“Megan what are you doing in my room?” I growl out. I can feel my anger boiling. No one was allowed up here on the Alpha floor unless invited. Yet she thinks just because we f****d each other she was an exception.
“Baby come on! I thought you would be happy to see me when you got back from your trip. I thought I could help you wind down.” Megan licks her lips well parting her legs wide.
Feeling my c**k twitch in my pants. Ya this is not good. Megan is just a occasional f**k. She is definitely beautiful but she is definitely not Shanna.
“Keep it in your pants. I don’t want fleas” Leo barks out.
“Shut it Leo! What I do with my d**k is none of your business.” I snap back.
“She is becoming to clingy! So it is my business. Plus I can’t stand her wolf.” He growls.
“I can handle her! Just stay out of it.” I reply blocking him out.
“So Alpha are you going to allow me to pleasure you.” Megan says getting off the bed walking slowly towards me. Her long black her falling over her shoulders. Her big light brown eyes lingering on the bulge in my pants.
“I can see you missed me Alpha.” Megan whispers in my ear as nibbled it. She starts to undo my pants pushing me towards the bed. I grab her wrist.
“Megan, never come to my room or floor again with out my permission. Do you understand?” I say pushing her slightly back.
“O come on Alpha I just wanted to surprise you.” She licks her lips.
“I don’t like surprises. We may f**k Megan but you are not my Luna. So you will learn your place. Do I make myself clear?” My temper flaring.
“Yes Alpha. I will not disobey you again.” Megans eyes dart to mine.
“Good! Now where were we?” I reply. I needed a release. She may not be the women I wanted in my bed but at this moment she will do. I feel her pulling my c**k out of my pants placing it into her mouth. I lay back on the bed my mind picturing Shanna’s and her luscious lips. This is going to be hard getting her out of my mind. I finally gave in letting the pleasure of Megan sucking me off consuming my body. I finally made up my mind Shanna will be mine and she would be the one to bring this pleasure. I just need to make it through this month since I will see her for the warrior tournament.
Shanna POV
It’s been five days since I got home from the Alpha Summit. I have been so busy with all the packs interested in my security system. The week flew by but now it Friday the day my mother passed away. I woke up feeling the loss even more today. Maybe because I was getting older and wishing I could talk with her about my future and how confused I am. Feeling my warm tears coming down my cheeks I get up and head to the shower. I cried for a good twenty minutes in the shower letting the warm water comfort me. After getting out of the shower I dried my body draping my fluffy rode over me. I brushed my teeth and brushed through my damp wet hair letting it air dry. I walked into my closet putting on my underwear and grabbing a pair of black leggings with a powder light tan sweatshirt. I returned to the bathroom to place on some waterproof mascara on and chapstick. I kept it simple today since I will be visiting my mothers grave and I knew I would be crying. There was no use in getting ready as today I want to do things that remind me of my mother. Trying to keep her memories live. I take a deep breath and head down stairs where I hear voices coming pack house dining room.
“O there you are princess.” My father walks up to me placing a kiss on my forehead. “How are you doing this morning?”
“I am doing okay daddy.” Trying to keep my voice from cracking.
“Well you have a surprise visitor.”My father pulls me to the entry way of the pack house.
Standing in a pair of dark washed blue jeans and I white long sleeve shirt stood Alpha Scott and next to him was his father Xavier. They are both holding a bouquet of flowers in their hands. I was stunned to see them here. I wasn’t expecting them until next week. I look up into Scott’s handsome bright green eyes.
“Alpha Scott and Mr. Xavier, To what do I owe the pleasure?” I give them a polite smile realizing I was not dressed for company. Specially a Alpha and his father.
“We wanted to come and pay our respect to your mother” Alpha Scott replies. “If it is okay with you we would like to give you these for her grave.” They both hand me the bouquet of flowers. Trying to keep my emotions under control I took them from their hands.
“This was thoughtful of you to come all this way. Please stay I am sure my daughter would enjoy your company on this difficult day. I would also like to catch up with my old friend here.” My father says well patting Xavier on the shoulder.
“I would like that if Shanna agrees of course. We can also come back another day?” Scott replies.
“No I don’t mind Alpha Scott. Please come inside.” As I step back letting them follow me into the pack house.
“Shanna what did I say about calling me Scott” He shoots me a look.
“Sorry it’s a habit” I chuckle out
“Would you mind some company today?” Scott sat giving me a smile.
“I would love some. I was about to go clean my mothers grave. Would you like to come with me?” I reply
“It would be a honor.” Scott gentle grabs the flowers from my hands. “Shell we go.”
“Yes, I was thinking of letting my wolf Lila run there. Would your wolf mind?” I ask
.
“My wolf Peter would love that. Plus he is excited to meet Lila.” Scott responds.
“Great! Dad I take it you will go later this afternoon?” I ask my father
“Yes princess. I am going to talk with Xavier about of few things. We will be going later to see your mother.” My father gives me a kiss on the cheek. “We will see you kids later.”
Scott and myself head out of the pack house heading for the tree line. I go behind a tree and remove my clothes shifting into my all black wolf. The only white patch Lila has is shaped as a half moon on her back right hip showing our royal blood line. I also have it on my human form same stop on my right hip. Lila steps out and Scott looks at her in awe. Lila is a stunning wolf all black with her white half moon shape tattoo and big hazel green eyes. She walks towards him rubbing her fur on him.
“Wow you are beautiful Lila! I better shift Peter is going crazy to meet you.” As he gentle runs his hand through her fur. Making her purr.
Scott takes off his clothes not bothering to hide. I tell Lila to look away to give him privacy.
“Come on Lila turn around we can’t be starting at him!” I shout out.
“Come on Shanna don’t be such a wet blanket! It won’t hurt just to look.” Lila purrs out.
“Ya well we don’t want him to get the wrong idea okay. We are not looking for a man right now.” I snap at her.
“You mean you are not looking for a man right now. I am fully open for business.” She barks back.
“You better behave Lila. I am serious no hanky panky with Alpha Scott or his wolf Peter.” I reply in a stern voice.
“Ya ya ya you want to be a stick in the mud. Just know if Peter rubs me the right way I might not be able to help what comes next” She does a low sexy growl.
“Ew Lila stop that.” I yell back.
“Fine….. I will behave” Lila reply’s.
After we turn around I can see that Scott has shifted into his wolf Peter. He is huge with big green eyes like Scott his fur is a light golden brown. His wolf is definitely handsome. Peter starts circling around Lila rubbing himself against her making her purr.
“Lila remember what I said….” I announce.
Lila barks at Peter playfully. They both trot over picking up our clothes and flowers from the ground into their mouths. Lila uses her head to signal which way we were going. We start running into the forest with Peter hot on our tail. We make our way towards the waterfall where there is a little cabin and near by my mother’s grave under our favorite tree. We stop by the tree where I walk behind to shift. I quickly change into my leggings and sweatshirt. Grabbing the flowers from the floor and walk out to see Scott’s wolf standing near my mother’s grave. He gentle places the flowers from his mouth on her grave. I saw that Scott’s clothes were by the tree. Peter starts to rub his fur on me. I gently starch under his chin earning a low growl. I start to laugh. Peter finally gives control to Scott shifting. I quickly turn around not wanting to see him naked.
“You can turn around now beautiful.” Scott announces.
I turn around to see him fully clothed. He starts walking towards me.
“So I guess it is safe to say that my wolf Peter as a crush on Lila and you.” Scott chuckles.
I can feel my cheeks starting to turn red.
“Ya I think Lila enjoys Peter’s company.” I laugh out. Trying to void this awkward talk.
I was never really good with flirting. Specially because it happened so often that I figured they just wanted me for power or s*x. So I always blew men off never taking them seriously; I am feeling comfortable with Scott. I feel at home with him. I know he is a player but right now I just see him as a friend. One I can hopefully count on. I feel a connection I can’t explain.
“Wow this place is beautiful” Scott finally breaks the silence.
“It really is isn’t it. This was my mothers favorite place. We would come here do picnics, swim and stay at the cabin. My father put this swing on her favorite tree when she was pregnant with me. I have pictures of her on it.” I reply trying to keep back the tears.
“You know it is okay to miss her. To cry and to remember all those memories. She is your mother and I am sure she looks over you everyday feeling proud of the women you are.” Scott whispers well pulling into a hug.
I couldn’t hold back my tears anymore. I let my tears flow soaking Scott’s shirt. Burying my face into his chest taking in his pine forest scent. I felt his arms slowly pull me closer holding me tight. I finally bring up my arms that were hanging by my sides wrapping them around his waist. He let me cry whispering sweet things into my ears. After was seemed like forever. I gently pull away from him. Looking down at the ground I felt embarrassed. I always have my emotions in check. I have never broken down in front of someone. Specially someone I hardly knew. How could I have done that. I can see the wet stain of my tears on his shirt.
“I am so sorry about your shirt” I whisper out.
I feel his hand grab the tip of my chin pulling it up so my face was looking at his. I see his intense gaze on my red puffy face. With his other hand he gentle takes his thumb wiping away the wetness from my cheeks.
“Never apologize Shanna. I want to be here for you. Whatever you need. You don’t always have to be strong you know.” He gently caresses cheek.
I lick my now dry lips and see Scott’s eyes dart down to my lips. I feel a slight tingle at his stare. When my stomach starts to growl. I totally forgot since I woke up late I didn’t eat breakfast.
“Are you hungry beautiful? Scott asks with a big smile.
Trying to hide my embarrassment I quickly pull back from his grip and look at the ground.
“I woke up late today and didn’t eat breakfast.” I reply
“Well we can’t have that can we.” He replies “Does the cabin have food by any chance?” He asks.
“Yes I believe so. My father always keeps it stocked since I love to come out here.” I respond.
“Great! Why don’t I make us lunch and we can have a picnic with your mother. Would that be okay?” Scott says
“You don’t have too. I can do it for us.” I stutter out. No man has ever offered to cook for me.
“I want to. Plus how else am I going to show you my skills.” He says and gives me a sexy wink.
I couldn’t help but let out a laugh. “Alright lets see these skills you have.” I say as I turn to walk towards the small cabin. Scott following close behind. I am glad he came today. I needed this. Someone who can pull me out of the darkness I was feeling. Who knows maybe this is the beginning of something. A future friendship and finally someone I can call a true friend. I take a deep breath or so I hope.
