(Book 2) – Chapter 63
“I can’t believe you had to chase down a rogue naked in the neighboring town.” Andrew said while holding in his laughter just like the rest of us.
“Yea, humans don’t do the whole nude is normal thing. I got some looks of disgust and few people whistling asking for a good time.” Koda replied as we walked down the hall.
Blue growled at the thought of someone else having Koda which made him smile like he had just gotten the best gift ever. I grabbed his hand and pulled him closer to ease our irritation. I could see the guys laughing and smiling around us but all I could focus on was that Koda didn’t bear my mark and we didn’t bear his. We were headed to dinner with his parents and an unknown Alpha. s**t, this was so much easier with the other guys since only the twins had doubts but there wasn’t a fear of rejection just pain and unease.
“It will be ok, sugar. Even without the marks it will be known that he is yours just as much as you are his. Koda will make sure of it, won’t you?” Blake questioned as he looked over at Koda. Blake was walking behind me with his hand massaging my neck and his wolf purring at the close contact.
Koda’s eyes got big and his body tightened for a split second like he was a bit fearful of Blake. He turned back toward me before responding. “Hell I will send out a pack link right now telling them that I am yours and only yours.” He stopped and grabbed my shoulders making me look him in the eye. “I know I was wrong before and I will do whatever it takes to earn your mate mark. Just tell me what I need to do and I will do it right now.”
“Calm down, lover boy. She knows and we can all see she wants you just as much.” Andrew teased as he clapped Koda on the back before motioning for us to start walking again.
“He is right. Let’s do this dinner thing and spend some more time together tonight. I might let you take me on a date for just us tomorrow.” I winked before grabbing his hand again and walking toward the dining room.
“Before we walk in there, has anyone heard from Melissa and Alistair today? They mentioned this coven sounded touchy so I didn’t want to mind link Al in case they can detect it or something.” I asked with my hand on the door knob that opened up to the hallway before the dining room.
They all shook their head no which made me worry. I knew it had only been a day or two but I couldn’t shake this uneasy feeling in my gut. I hoped it was an something regarding us because we had more man power to get out of a tough situation.
“Damn it. I will link him real quick so that is at least one thing settled.” I told the guys. They were looking worried so I knew they agreed with me.
“How can you link him so far away?” Koda asked looking between all of us. Poor guy probably thinks we are pulling his leg or that I am some kind of hybrid with some witchy powers.
‘Just like I can talk to you even though we aren’t mated or pack.’ I linked him causing his eyes to bug out. ‘And I can link all of you at once.’
“Holy s**t. How?” He exclaimed in excitement.
“Let’s discuss it tonight. Lets get to dinner. I am starving and I want to ask your mom to show me some of your baby pictures.” Koda g*****d. He he I think I love knowing his mother and that she likes to overshare.
Edgar wrapped his hand around mine holding the doorknob and helped me open it. We let the others walk through first giving me time to link Alistair. I hope they made friends and played nice so we can leave soon. I miss my family and the pack that was turning into my family.
‘Alistair, give me an update when you can. Miss you and love you both.’ Blue sent love with the message. She was ready to run with Alistair’s wolf and play with Melissa. I didn’t get to see the ultrasound or see her before they left. Damn rejection. I need to see that baby.
The Luna and Alpha were talking to what looked like the chef when we walked in. Sitting alone at the table was a balding, out of shape pasty white guy with a scowl on his face until he noticed us. His frown went upside down to the biggest, fakest smile I had ever seen in my life. He jumped up out of his chair showing that he was short and had the worst taste in clothes.
“Hello, Alphas. It is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Alpha Floyd of the Poison wolf pack. I would love to get to know you and how you run your packs so we might discuss becoming allies one day.” He shook all the guys hands before looking at me and dropping his hand back to his side. “Hello, darlin. How bout your join the Luna so the men can talk pack business?”
I looked down making me seem submissive and I could feel the glee coming from this scumbag. In reality I was holding back my temper so I wouldn’t rip his throat out and dance in his b***d. The guys were not happy and I could tell they were barely holding back from doing the same thing I was day dreaming about.
“Luna? This lovely young lady would love to talk about lady things with you.” Alpha Floyd yells out as he reaches for my arm. Edgar jumps in front of me and openly growls at him.
Asher pulls me back into his arms and hugs me almost too tight against his chest. “This lovely lady is OUR ALPHA and our mate. Disrespect her again and I will have your balls to feed to a vampire friend.” Ashers alpha tone sent chills down my back for two reasons. One of which was in a get naked kind of way.
“Your Alpha? Bullshit. There are no female Alpha’s and its for a good damn reason. Quit pulling my leg and sent your easy lay to talk women stuff so we can chat.” Floyd huffs before waving at another man when they walk into the room.
‘They both smell off. I think I smell vampire and witch but it is hard to tell with all the chemicals and cologne they are using.’ Blue confides in me and it makes me want to sniff Floyd to figure out his secrets. I look at the guys waiting to see if they are questioning if this guy was good or bad but they just looked pissed from him disrespecting me.
Alpha Floyd whispered a few things to the man who walked in and told him to leave. He never introduced him or explained why he stopped to talk to someone else while trying to demand the people with v*****s should have their own conversations. I was a bit testy right now and I wanted to kick his balls so hard they turned into ovaries.
“Who was that?” I asked as Floyd focused his attention back on us. He frowned at me before looking back at the guys.
“Just my beta doing his job.” Floyd smugly stated before turning toward the tables seeing that the food was about to be served. “Looks like the food is ready. Maybe after you put this lady to bed we can meet for a night cap and discuss pack business. I would love to hear about the training you all do and even how you keep your members in line.” He went and sat down back in his seat.
“If he keeps being a sexist pig I am going to have to show him what having a v****a feels like by ripping his balls off.” I huff under my breath. I turned toward the Luna and notice she is holding back a laugh. Whoops she must of heard me but at least she agrees since she is smiling so hard.
“I agree, Ryder. But let’s put off the violence until after dinner. “ She stated and pointed to a table for us to sit. I noticed we were a chair short but saw that her table had an extra seat. I looked over at Koda waiting for him to realize what was going on.
He gave me a look like I was crazy before it dawned on him that his parents thought he would be sitting with them. “Mom, sorry about this but I am going to sit with my mate and her other mates. We started over on a new leaf and so far so good.” He smiled and waited for her reaction.
“Bout damn time.” She whisper yelled at us before turning to her husband. “You own me five bucks and you need to move that charge back toward the guest table.” She smirked before heading back to where they were sitting.
“Damn it. Fine.” Jerrica moved the seat over and we all sat down waiting on someone to talk or something so it was so awkward.
“So I heard Koda wasn’t much for clothing until the age of ten.” I stated and that got the ball rolling on all sorts of embarrassing stories which made me smile.
