SHADOW
I hid my smile as soon as the elders left, leaving me just Califf, Duke, and Elder Eleanor.
“What just happened?” Duke asked.
“I think I just did my job on my first day as Luna.” I grinned at him, and he grinned back. I laughed silently. “Did I just threaten those Elders? They will plan a payback, will they?”
“May I ask why did you do that?”
Oh, gosh. I forgot Elder Eleanor was still in the office. My face heated. “I apologize for how I acted last night. It was just the rush of anger and a lot of emotions, and my wolf saw red.”
“Please, don’t apologize.” She held my arms. “I should be the one apologizing on behalf of my mate. He just did what he thought was good for our son.”
“That’s not an excuse, Mom. He murdered a pack. I can’t just ignore it and leave it unpunished.”
“Do what you must, son. Your father would understand.” She smiled at me and kissed me on the cheek. “You will be a great Luna, my dear. You already are.”
“Thanks, Elder Eleanor.”
She nodded before she kissed her son goodbye. “You are who you are without any influences. Just remember that. You are here as our Alpha because of this.” She pointed at her son’s chest.
When his mother left, Duke followed to the door. “Call me if you need anything, Alpha, Luna.”
As soon as the door shut after Duke, Califf’s hand was already cupping my head, the other on my throat as he smashed his lips against mine in a brutal, hard, savage kiss, making me gasp and moan at the same time-the kind of kiss filled with anguish and longing- the kiss was dominant and possessive that demanded my submission. He then thrust his tongue inside, exploring my mouth.
My wolf was happy, though.
I pushed him back, getting away from him. My eyes narrowed. “What was that all about?”
“You left without telling me where you went. You left your bodyguards, and you didn’t answer my call.”
“Well, if you haven’t figured it out, I’m terrible at following orders and a woman of my own. The faster you can accept that, the better.”
His nose flared as he groaned. “You made me worry.”
“I can take care of myself.”
“Don’t block me in your head again, Shadow.”
“Whoo. I’m not enjoying that tone.” I squinted my eyes as I stalked in his direction. “In bed, maybe. You can spank my ass all you want.” I cupped his head, licked my lips, and ran my tongue on the seam before I scraped my teeth against my chin. “I’d love you to make me feel good.”
“Don’t tease me if you won’t continue and leave me with a hard-on.”
Stroking his hair, I gripped it and pulled his head back to expose his neck before I sucked the skin on my bite mark and licked it, showing him how proud I was of what I did.
“Are you hard?” I didn’t wait for his reply. I cupped his cock through his pants, and I was right. He was hard.
He groaned against my touch. “Baby, stop it. Okay? Or I swear to Goddess I will bend you against my desk and fuck you hard from behind.”
I kissed his lips loudly. “I gotta go and take a shower. See you later, Califf.” I walked to the door and ignored him, calling my name. He could just follow me into the shower room if he wanted to talk to me.
I stripped off my clothes as soon as I got in the room and stepped into the shower. The water was invigorating until I felt hands on my hips, teasing them down my bare mound. His hard body pressed against my back, and his cock was still hard, teasing my butt.
“Good decision, but you can’t stay longer. You have work, right?” I turned around to face him and snaked my arms around his neck. He looked incredibly handsome, hot, and mouth-watering.
“Duke is in the office.” He began kissing my lips and jaw and licking his bite mark.
“And what is your excuse then?” I pushed his head down my chest, and he knew exactly what I wanted.
“I told him I need to talk to you.” Capturing my nipple with his mouth and nipping it, his free hand cupped my breast, causing me to moan.
My chest heaved, panting in anticipation as he bent on his knees.
“Hold on to me.” Califf lifted my leg, placing it over his shoulder, gripping my ass before he captured my sex with his mouth.
“Califf. Ah!” My voice came out between a moan and a groan. He continued his assault, sucking me hard, nipping my clit that drove me insane.
“Don’t stop. Don’t stop.” I moved my hips, bucking against his face until he plunged his tongue inside me, fucking me.
He groaned in approval as he continued fucking me with his mouth and tongue. Every sound I made, he made it more irresistible, consuming, and hotter and brought me to my climax. I was still delirious. My knees were still jelly, struggling to keep straight.
“I want you, baby.” Califf draped his arms around me, keeping me steady as he whispered into my ear, aligning his hard cock to my entrance. “Wrap your arms around me, baby, because this will be hard and fast.”
As soon as I did as he said, he slammed his cock inside me, and I cried out.
“Fuck.” He groaned as he felt me tight, clamping around him. He gripped my ass, carried me, and pressed me against the wall before he fucked me with his mouth and his cock in tandem without giving me time to adjust and breathe.
It was raw and hot, and it felt so good. My head was dizzy. I kissed him back, letting him fuck me as it pleased him until I ran out of breath. He grazed his teeth against my shoulder, sucking his mark on my neck.
“I love fucking you, and I can’t wait to taste you on my tongue every morning for the rest of our lives.”
“Keep saying that.”
“I could fuck you to oblivion, and I wouldn’t get tired of you, baby.” Growling, he rammed his cock faster and harder into me. My body shook against the tiled wall in the shower.
“No doubt.”
“Let’s fuck each other until we die while running the pack together. Don’t leave me again, Shadow. I will give you everything. Just stay with me.” He kept talking and pounding into me at a hysteric pace like there was no tomorrow while I could barely say three words.
With my pulse racing fast, my body tightening, my inner muscles clamping around him, squeezing him, and I felt flying and flying until I screamed his name, my claws digging into the flesh on his back.
“Fuck. Shadow.” He growled my name as he exploded inside me.
After our shower sex, I changed into a shirt and jeans.
“Where did you get the list?” He went to pick up his clothes on the floor.
“From the archive.”
“So you’ve been in the archive all this time?”
“I called Zarah. I thought she knew something since she was a part of The West Coven, and she told me about the offer, order, or whatever.”
“I’m so sorry, baby. If I only have known-”
I faced him. He was wearing his shirt. “What are you going to do then? Reject me?”
His features darkened. “Fuck no, but I would have dealt with it before I met you.”
I drew a deep breath. “I’m still mad at your father.”
“I know.” He pulled me in his arms and hugged me tight, rubbing his nose against my neck. “Goddess. Your smell is driving me insane.”
“Do you realize you can also smell yourself on me?”
“I know.” He kissed me one more time before he let me go.
“How are you going to deal with your pack?”
“Our pack, Shadow. I will banish my father. My mother has to be stripped of her rank.”
My eyes widened. “Why? She’s not included in this. She may know something, but she wasn’t there.”
“I want her out of the pack to take care of my father. And with these threats around us, I want them as far as possible. They have money and properties. I want them to live a normal human life together.”
I nodded. “Okay, but I wanna see your father.”
