Jason's POV
I had spent these past few days held up in my office; Elder Owen had recently contacted me regarding meetings the council had held, with no one other than William as a participant. Knowing this wouldn't bow well for me, I needed to devise a way to keep the title of Alpha King. Having been beta to William during his reign, I had become well-versed in the werewolf laws. The elders meeting with William made one law in particular rush to the front of my mind.
'The true alpha king, chosen by blood, could challenge any acting king for their title. If one from the goddess-chosen bloodline neither could be found or had yet to exist, the council of elders had the power bestowed upon them by the moon goddess herself to choose a new king.'
'Don't worry too much about that law. For them to choose a new Alpha King, there would need to be unanimous approval by all council elders.' Blake tried to ease my stress.
'You're correct about the procedure. However, you're forgetting one thing. If elder Owen prevented their unanimous vote, he would be risking being found guilty of treason to our kind.' My wolf went quiet when he realised that no one would put themselves in such a position.
Just as I was about to leave and head to dinner, the phone rang with the caller's showing as Wolf Embassy. For them to call at this hour, I knew it wouldn't be anything good. After being given a telling-off, I called Roger to my office. Someone in this pack had alerted the council to the attack I led on the Moonlight Pack, and I wanted to know who.
"Where do you want me to start, Alpha? Even though some families have upped and left, there are over one thousand pack members."
"What do you mean upped and left?" I roared in anger.
"Once you returned with your mate, many noble families voiced their concerns as she disrespected them. Then, when you made sure no one backchatted the Luna, and if they had been found out otherwise, they would get executed, many packed up and left. I have a feeling one of them may have said something."
"It still doesn't explain how they knew about the fucking rogues. Not once were they mentioned upon our return. Well, I'm sure we will find out tonight."
"We?"
"Yes, we. I need you and Lewis to accompany me and Crystal to the Embassy. Be ready by 6 pm and have the car waiting out front."
"Yes, Alpha."
When Roger left, I locked my office door and headed to mine and Crystal's quarters. I needed her to be on her best behaviour tonight, and for that to happen, I had a lot of apologising to do.
Crystal's POV
"Uhh... Why is it that every time I turn around, I see your stupid face? Do you not have anything better to do with your time?" I spat at Lewis. Did Jason really think I needed a babysitter?
"Luna, you can shout at me as much as you want. It doesn't bother me. I have daughters that are just as bratty as you. Besides, I take my orders from Alpha Jason, who has instructed that you are only to be left alone when in the bathroom."
Bratty, did he seriously just fucking disrespect me. I'm his Luna. There is no way in hell I would let him get away with it. Ignoring him, I mind-linked Jason and told him what his so-called protection detail called me, yet he didn't seem to care as usual. Ever since he accused me of being in love with Jake, he hadn't looked at me, let alone touched me. He expected me to carry out my duties as Luna, yet he didn't treat me like one. If he didn't get his act together soon, I would not be held accountable for my actions.
'Please, what are you going to do? He's our mate you won't hurt him the same as he wouldn't us. Just grovel to him, make him see he's the only man we want and love.' Lilly startled me; she had been quiet ever since the witch healed me.
'I didn't say I was going to hurt him, did I, Lilly! You share my mind, so you know what I mean. I can be a right stubborn bitch when I want to be, and if this carries on much longer, then things will get worse for him.' Lilly retreated to the back of my mind after rolling her eyes at my response.
After eating dinner alone for the third night, I figured I ought to please myself; it's not like Jason would do it for me. Once I got to our room, I went into the bathroom and turned the taps on. Pouring my relaxation salts and bubble bath into the running water, I quickly checked that the temperature was right for me; I stepped in and submerged my body, feeling myself start to relax. This was the first time all day that I had been entirely alone. No stupid head, Jason and no big-mouthed Lewis. Just complete and utter peace.
Using two fingers, I placed them inside myself and began pumping slowly and steadily, all whilst using my thumb to rub my clit. The smell of my arousal was more potent than the bath scents, so I knew it would take a while to fade. As I increased the pressure I applied to my clit, the speed at which my fingers thrust increased, pushing me further to the edge.
"YOU DARE TO TOUCH YOURSELF, YET YOU DON'T BOTHER TO TEND TO MY FUCKING NEEDS!" Jason shouted in the bathroom doorway, causing my eyes to dart open and stop what I was doing.
"Well, perhaps if I had a mate that wanted to touch me, we would find our releases together." I hissed.
Jason walked over to the side of the bath, placing his hands under my arms and lifting me. He threw me over his shoulder and walked to the bed, dropping me on it. Once on the bed, Jason pushed me back and climbed on top of me, assaulting my lips with his own. As mad as I was at him, at this precise moment, all I wanted him to do was take me. He tasted so good, but I needed more, much more. I needed him, every little bit of him. He was like my own personal drug, all thanks to the mate bond. As he continued kissing me, I could hear him unbuckle the belt on his jeans. Standing up, he dropped them to the floor, followed by his pants, letting his hardened member spring free. My goddess, I have missed that assault weapon of his. Climbing back on top of me, Jason bought the tip of his cock to my lips, and instinctively I opened my mouth, permitting him to put it in. I began to suck it slowly, and while using my tongue to circle the tip, I noticed his eyes roll backwards. He enjoyed this; he missed this as much as I had, which was evident in his moans. Only I could make him feel like this. As I increased the force of my sucking and tightened my grip on his balls, Jason grabbed the headboard needing something to steady himself. It didn't take long before I felt his warm liquid seep into my mouth, and I swallowed it as Jason looked at me in awe.
"Such a good fucking Luna." he said with a smile, the first one I had seen in days.
Jason lowered himself to the bottom of the bed and began nibbling at the inside of my thigh before replacing each nibble with a kiss. His kisses trailed higher until he found my core. Nestling himself between my legs, the feel of his breath sent shivers down my spine. Delicately, he began to lick at my clit; the soft dainty feeling wasn't enough to fulfil what I needed him to do. Entangling my fingers in his messy hair, I pulled his head closer, encouraging him to go to town on me. All of a sudden, his tongue darted inside me with a ferocious speed while his thumb worked on my dampening clit. I feel him enter two fingers and pump away at me, making my breath hitch in my throat at feeling him enter a third finger. Without giving me time to adjust, he continued his thrusting, bringing me close to my edge.
"OMG YES.... YES, THAT'S IT, RI.... RIGHT THERE, AHHH!" I couldn't contain my screams as he brought me over the edge.
Jason replaced his fingers with his tongue, licking up all my escaped juices before smashing his lips onto mine, making me taste myself. Pulling my legs over his shoulders, Jason thrust himself into me swiftly, not stopping until I saw stars. The speed of his thrusts and the bashing of his balls against my ass had me cuming again. Pushing Jason back, I positioned myself on his lap and began riding him. Watching as his eyes once again rolled into the back of his head and feeling his cock start to twitch, I extended my canines and sunk them into my mark that sat in the crook of his neck. Feeling him explode inside me caused me to cum once again before feeling Jason bite me back. My eyes filled with stars as I rode out the best orgasm I had ever felt. Once it was over, Jason went to the bathroom, returning with a warm, damp cloth and handing it to me so I could clean myself up.
"I do love you." he said just before walking into the walk-in wardrobe at our room's edge.
"I love you too." I told him. I may have hated him these last few days, but you know what they say, 'There's a thin line between love and hate'. And I love him; I truly did.
Walking back out of the wardrobe, Jason wore a grey pinstripe trouser suit; the way his ass looked in those trousers had my lady parts twitching. He held a dress in his hand that I hadn't noticed before.
"Put this on; meet me downstairs in twenty minutes. We have a meeting to go to, and as my Luna, I need you by my side."
