Chapter 1
Lucien
I've been at this fucking meeting with the council for two hours now. The man who's speaking to me, is really getting on my last nerve. He has the kind of voice, that makes you want to ram your head into a brick wall. Or his.
"So, Alpha Greaves we have come to the agreement. That in the interest of keeping your pure bloodline going, we have picked a potential mate for you. She is a lovely woman with strong genes. We realize this may seem drastic, but as the only living offspring of your late parents. Goddess bless their souls. If anything happens to you, your pack will eventually be dissolved, and your members left without their homes and an Alpha. You will be meeting her tomorrow. My assistant will message you the details.
I lean back in my chair, my long legs stretched out in front of me. I do find these meetings quite entertaining; these men think, that because someone was stupid enough, to vote them into the role of council members. They have the power to dictate my life, little do they know; I don't give two shits what they say. I will keep living my life my way.
I've been running my pack alone just fine, since my father was killed by hunters 15 years ago. My mother died from a broken heart shortly after. Being the only child, I was left to take over as Alpha. While still grieving the deaths, of my much-loved parents.
Before I became the leader of the red moon pack. My life had been filled with partying, women and goofing around. After the death of my father. It had all stopped instantly to take care of my mother and our pack.
When the Luna had passed away, pressure was put on me to find a mate to lead beside me. I hadn't found her yet. As the years went on. I watched as all my friends found their mates. The knowledge I might never find the one destined for me. Hardened my heart to love.
Women fall over themselves for one night or more with me. I fuck them and send them away. A few have tried to change me. Thinking she may be the one. But no woman has managed to soften the hard lump in my chest.
Until I met her. My wolf ripples inside me. At the thought of the one woman. Who lights my soul on fire.
After more droning on about fulfilling my responsibilities. I'm finally free to go. I call my driver to meet me out the front. Time to get home and have some fun.
Smiling to myself I make my way out to the waiting car. My cock is getting hard. Just thinking about what's waiting, In my basement at home.
The drive back to my pack takes just over an hour. We are based in the middle of a rain forest just outside of Cairns. My pack is the largest in the far northern side of Australia. With over 2,000 members.
When my father started this pack over 35 years ago, It was just him, his pregnant mate and a few of his close friends. He worked hard to get red moon on the map. I have carried on his legacy.
Pulling up to the house. I grit my teeth when I see Melinda outside talking to some of her friends.
I made the mistake of taking her to bed a few years ago. After a night of sex, she attached herself to me. Her dad was my father's beta when he was alive. Her brother Nathan, my best friend is now my beta.
I get out the car heading for the front door. When a shrill voice stops me dead in my tracks. I turn to see my biggest regret, walking towards me. Her hips swaying, as she tries to look seductive.
Melinda is a very attractive she wolf. She's tall, willowy and blonde. Her long legs and big breasts, make her very sought after by the men in my pack. Yet she does nothing for me. My cock doesn't react at all to her. The other day, I found her naked in my office. My buddy downstairs didn't move a bit for her. I still remember the look of surprise on her face, when I grabbed her arm and threw her out.
"Lucien, there you are. I have been waiting for you all day. I was wondering, if we could maybe go somewhere private. I need to speak to you about something very important".
I know exactly what she wants to talk to me about. Her goal is to be my Luna. She thinks we would be the perfect Alpha couple. My wolf and I disagree. The only real Luna will be my mate. As it stands right now, that's probably never going to happen. Not until things change.
I plaster a fake smile on my face. I may be a heartless prick but I'm not an asshole either.
"Oh, hello Melinda. I didn't see you there" my wolf chuffs at my lie. I turn and keep walking to my house. I have my own place on the territory. Most alphas live in a pack house with their members. I have always preferred to live alone. I need to have privacy. The events of the past few months have affirmed that.
I shoot her a bored look. I really don't want to have to explain again, that I'm not looking for anything right now. Her dad is a good man. He helped me get through the deaths of my parents. When I took the pack over, Mike was by my side every step of the way. He's the only reason his daughter hasn't experienced my full anger. "Look Mel, I've just got back from a meeting. I'm tired, hungry and need a hot shower. I'll come see you when I'm free" Her eyes light up at something I said. I have a sinking feeling of what too.
"Oh, well how about I make you dinner. We can spend some time together. I could also use a shower. It doesn't make sense to waste water" and there it fucking is.
I rub my eyes in frustration. This bitch is like a dog with a bone. I might need to rethink my personal promise, not to tell mikes daughter where to go.
"You're a nice girl. I just don't have the time right now for a woman in my life." She blinks at me a few times. I can see the wheels turning in her empty head.
She crosses her arms over her chest. The look she's giving me is a cross between anger and calculating. She comes closer to me on the top step of my porch. Her hand lands on my arm. Her Sharp fingernails, digging into my skin.
"I know you want me, Luci. When you're ready to finally admit it. I'll be waiting." Wow she's more delusional than I thought. Her perfume chokes me, when she leans forward. Placing a lingering kiss on my cheek.
With one last longing look at me. She waves and struts off. When she's gone, I blow out the breath I was holding and let myself inside. I walk with heavy footsteps, on the hard wood floor. An evil smile on my face. My wolf, canon, rolls his eyes at my childish behaviour.
I run upstairs to change. Shrugging my jacket and shirt off. After my slacks and shoes are off, I slip my sweats on. Grabbing the items I need. I head down to where the fun is going to be happening.
When I get to the door, that leads down to my basement. I knock three times to let the occupant aware I'm on my way down.
After the rustling behind the door has stopped. I make my way down the steps. Breathing deeply, the sweet scent wrapping around my body. My cock is painfully hard by the time I reach the bottom level.
The vision in front of me almost has me cumming in my pants.
I circle my little gift a few times to check everything is in order. Happy with it, I crouch down to look her in the eyes. Tipping her chin up. I place my mouth over her ear. She shivers with anticipation when I dart my tounge out. Licking her ear lobe slowly.
I wrap my hand firmly around her throat. Whispering " hello kitten. Daddy's home"
Annalee
I'm so bored I could scream. I look at the clock on the wall. There's still around 2 hours until my master is home. That gives me time to shower and shave. He doesn't like any hair on my body when we have our dates as he likes to call them. Pfft, more like a frenzy of sex if you ask me. My wolf giggles at my pretence of not liking it.
I look around the room I'm in. It's a lot nicer then where I was before I came here. When I was found 3 months ago by the Beta of this pack. I was half dead. The memories of that night still as fresh in my mind like it was yesterday.
FLASH BACK;
I'm running like my life depends on it. Which it does. I can hear men running behind me. Shouting for me to stop. The head guy is in his wolf form trying to scent me out. I look back to see them gaining on me fast. I make a snap decision. That saved my life that night. but could have killed me too. Taking a deep breath, I leap over the cliff edge. Luck is on my side today. I hit the water hard knocking me unconscious. A man who has seen the whole thing swims out to where I'm floating. Ultimately saving my life.
END OF FLASH BACK.
Thats how I ended up in this pack. Red Moon. The guy who found me is the Beta here. He and his mate were having a picnic. On the beach near where I fell. After he had pulled me out of the water and revived me. The couple took me home with them. That was the day my life changed. For better or worse I'm still not sure.
My head snaps up when I hear a car pulling up to the house. With a shriek I run to the window. Shit he's early. Peeking out I thank the heavens. For the blond she wolf holding him up. I can't help giggle at the obvious bitch. Drooling all over the man in front of her. Shes always coming here. Trying to push her way in, but he never lets her past the door. Always having a lame excuse. Why he's not free.
He looks up to where I'm watching them. I drop my body to the floor. My heart is thumping hard. Oh, fuck please don't let him have seen me.
I crawl across the floor until I reach the door. I stand up and take off running. Down the stairs to our meeting place. In the basement.
It's more like a room in an adult's club. It has a bar, leather couches, a play area and a stripper pole. I hurry up in the shower. Knowing I've got mere minutes. Before he comes down here. If I'm not ready and waiting for him. My punishment is going to be severe. My pussy clenches at the thought. My wolfs drooling too.
I'm getting out of the shower, after scrubbing my body clean and shaving everything. When I hear the tell-tale stomping of boots above my head. I roll my eyes. Fucking smart ass, thinks he's so funny.
I dry my hair and plait it in record time. Getting into position. I hear three knocks on the door before it opens. The sound of bare feet on the stairs. Has me shaking in excitement. I love these nights we spend together.
His feet come into view a few seconds later. A large hand grabs my throat in a tight grip. I nearly moan. When his long hot tounge. Licks the soft flesh of my ear. I need to stay quiet. Until I'm granted permission to make a noise.
"Hello Kitten. Daddys home" he whispers in my ear. Let the games begin.
