(Book 2) – Chapter 64
Things were actually going ok. The food was good but I couldn’t stomach it. I think all the traveling and stress were starting to mess with me. I didn’t want the guys to worry so I took small bites of everything and made sure to drink tons of water so I was at least hydrated. I only got a funny look or two from the Luna and I shook my head hoping she wouldn’t ask anything here. She understood girl nods and went about telling me about my newest mate.
“And that is how he got the nickname stretch.” She joked as we were all dying of laughter except Koda.
“Lovely stories, Luna. I think my Luna would love those stories and even share some of our son the next time we all get together.” Alpha Floyd said with his mouth full of food. I had to hold in my disgust. “How about after this we have some pack talk in the Alpha’s office? Men only since it will be regarding the training of our warriors and such.” He smiled at the Luna and I but we all knew it was fake.
I took a big gulp of my drink before responding hoping it would curb the b***d l**t I was feeling toward him. “I had no idea you had a Luna. Does she not travel with you?” I asked innocently. “That is abnormal but you must know what is best when traveling to different packs to make alliances. Who needs the Luna’s to get along as well as the Alpha’s?” I gave a fake laugh like it was a joke but we both knew it wasn’t.
“She had a few things come up but she hated that she couldn’t make it. She promises next time, Luna Bonnie.” She even mentioned something about planning a alliance party and would love your input.” He nods at her. He was full of s**t. I didn’t see a mating mark on him so either he wouldn’t let her mark him and didn’t care that it was killing her wolf or he didn’t have a Luna and was even more of a liar.
“I didn’t notice a mating mark, Alpha. I didn’t realized you even had a Luna. I should ring up your pack and speak with her. I would love to plan a party with a few Luna’s.” Luna Bonnie stated with a glint in her eye. She was up to something and I was all for it. “ Maybe Alpha Ryder could join us as well. What do you say, sweetie?”
“I will call ahead to let them know to expect a phone call.” He seemed to be ignoring the Alpha comment for now.
“I’d love to. Just give me time to make it back to our pack and get things rolling beforehand. I need to work with our fighters to blend the different styles and my wolf is going crazy without being able to work with others. She wants some actual competition.” I joked at the guys expense and they took it good naturally.
“I would love a good fight before you all leave.” Alpha Jerrick exclaimed. “I heard about the two Alphas you took out and I would love to see some of your moves, if your mates can handle standing on the sideline.” He was teasing them. Koda’s face went dark for a second but I put my hand on his leg sending calming vibes.
“Alpha Jerrick you would really fight a female? You are so much bigger and could really hurt her when she is needed to breed and keep order withing the servants.” Alpha Floyd exclaimed. “And I can’t even grasp why you all keep calling her Alpha. She is a Luna at best and with her having all those male scents on her she is a passed around Luna.”
The guys all stood at the same time shoving their chairs backwards. I looked at all their faces and I knew they wanted his b***d even more than I did. Alpha Floyd might not make it home. I was glad they were focusing on his sexist a*s rather than the fact like I barely ate anything and that Blue was blocking our puking feeling from them.
As they guys started arguing with Floyd and his beta I focused on Blue. ‘Hey girl. Why can’t we eat when I was just feeling like I could eat a whole cow?’
‘I don’t know how it happened when we took all sorts of precautions.’ Blue stated apologetically. I had a bad feeling in my gut and I could feel my nerves start to start acting up.
‘Blue? Please explain before I freak the hell out.’ I made sure to tune out the room so I could focus on her and how different my body was feeling right now.
‘I think…I mean I am almost positive…that we are pregnant.’ She said before squealing in excitement.
‘Oh no. Blue, what did we do? How can we fight in a war that will kill thousands on both sides while pregnant and fight to keep the baby safe?’ I asked her and it stopped her in her tracks. I hated killing her excitement but I needed to share my worries.
‘I don’t know. Maybe Melissa has a spell to make the baby extra protected as we kill any of the threats. The guys would help protect us or maybe we can delay the battle until we have our pup and we can put protection on them?’ Blue started thinking pretty hard making my head throb even harder. I didn’t have time to respond before I could feel my guys moving in closer around me.
“Ryder, you ok? We are all ready to leave before we kill a useless Alpha.” Asher growled out as he took my hand and pulled me up so I was standing in the middle of the guys.
I looked up at them and seeing how tense they were I knew something was wrong. I looked over at Floyd and saw his beta plus some of Jerricks guards holding him back. “What did I miss?”
Floyd sneered at us before a huge smile sat on his ugly face. “I figured out why you have so many mates and they aren’t chosen. You are the lost princess.”
“Ok, good for you. Do you need a puppy treat as a reward?” I stated with a bored expression.
“Ill ignore the attitude for now. I can’t wait to tell my son I have found his mate and that we will be most powerful wolves amongst all the packs.”
“Whoa. Hold the f**k on. Your son? My mate?” I started to laugh. “Koda is my last mate and even if he wasn’t id never mate to anyone who stands with you.”
Floyd’s face went bright red and he growled at us. “You will reject Koda and take my son as your chosen mate. After that I will help you run the packs.”
I looked at Bonnie and Jerrick to see what they thought and I saw murder on their face. “Listen, he will either need to be killed or put in your cells along with everyone he brought with him so he doesn’t alert our enemies about me.”
“Agreed. I already had the few wolves he brought with him rounded up.” Alpha Jerrick agreed.
“Bullshit. Why would I share your secret to our enemies when you are going to be family or maybe I should take you as my mate? I could take your for the ride of your life.” He licked his lips and his Beta winked at me. They really shouldn’t have done that.
The twins were over there in a second ripping their throats out covering them in b***d. They turned toward us not even respecting the duo in death. “You are ours. No one elses and that wasn’t a lesson they would learn in life.” Knox growled.
“Now do the wolves he brought with him get a chance to prove they aren’t as vile or do we kill them to keep our princess safe?” Kane asked looking around the room.
“Death.” Bonnie stated as she nodded toward the guards. They left instantly without even blinking an eye. Jerrick nodded in agreement and I felt more warmth toward the couple.
I thanked them and told the guys I was ready to head back to the room. I grabbed Koda’s hand and told him tonight I made him mine. His mother started to cry thinking we would leave right after. Andrew and Blake explained what happens after I take a mate and that we would be here for another week with me being out of commission. They were worried and asked a few questions to make sure it wasn’t hurting me or their son. I told them it was how I got my powers and how my body dealt with that much power running through it. I was glad since it would give them more time with their son and when I woke up I was going to be wanting that fight with Jerrick. He laughed before grabbing Bonnie to head to their room.
