“So… how is this whole mate thing supposed to work?” Lynn asked Carson as they drove back to his pack.
Carson sighed but didn’t take his eyes off the road as he replied to her.
“I don’t know. It’s not like I have any experience with this. I guess I’ll just introduce you to the rest of my pack when we arrive and then we’ll sort ourselves out from there.”
“Do you think they’ll accept me?” Lynn asked him after a few minutes of silent contemplation.
“I’ve never brought a female back with me before so I really can’t say for sure how they’ll react to it. But, you’re not just any female, you’re their Luna now, they have to accept you.” He replied to her.
“You’ve never brought a female back to your pack? That sounds so hard to believe. You sleep around, surely they come visiting sometimes or something, even if you don’t bring them back by yourself. You’re quite a legend, I’m sure there have been one or two that got addicted to you and came around to get their dose of Carson awesomeness.”
Carson’s mood turned sombre* at the reminder of his promiscuity, and the beast within him was more than angry. Carson knew that his wolf was always against him sleeping around, but he disregarded the beast and carried on regardless. Just the memory of being with other women made his skin crawl now and he knew that even though Lynn didn’t show it, she hated the fact that he had been with so many women. He only knew of Vance as her former lover and he was beyond angry that Lynn had slept with Vance even though it was in the past. The only reason he hadn’t said anything about it because he had no right to be angry about her past when his was worse.
“I have never brought any of my… flings back to the pack.” He said.
“My wolf can’t smell a lie on you, she says you’re saying the truth. I don’t know if she’s accurate or if it’s the mating hormones messing her up. But, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt for the sake of being mates. So… what of the flings within your pack? Surely you’ve slept with more than half your pack if your reputation is to be considered.” Lynn said and Carson’s grip on the wheel tightened till his knuckles were white.
“I just want to be prepared for any and everything so I’d rather be briefed before we arrive.” She spoke again.
“I only flirt around the pack, I don’t bed my pack females.” He said through gritted teeth.
“Wow, Jerald would shit his pants to know that you have at least an ounce of propriety in you. I can tell that you’re telling the truth, but I can also sense that there’s something you’re not telling me.” She said and Carson turned to face her with an expression of mild surprise on his face.
She shrugged and smirked.
“I know that the same way I know that whatever it is you didn’t tell me makes you anxious so it must be something bad. Don’t be so surprised, this is a side effect of this whole mating thing, I can feel things from you now. It’s not as strong as it’s supposed to be because we haven’t actually mated yet, but it’s there.” She said and Carson sighed.
“My Beta’s daughter, we used to be together years ago. We’ve broken up but…”
“But you still hit it every now and then.” Lynn completed his statement.
“Yeah. Her father was Beta when my father was alive. She mostly handles his duties nowadays so everyone calls her my Beta. Her father lost his mate and the pack bond has helped him remain stable, but lately he can’t find the energy to do most things.” Carson said.
“So she graciously took over the role on his behalf and is probably eyeing a higher role which she’s using you to get to. The role of pack Luna.”
“She knows we’re not mates.” He said.
“She may know that, but it doesn’t mean she cares. I mean, you must care about her if you kept seeing her. You are infamous for your one night stands after all.” She said.
“I don’t feel anything for her, it’s…it’s complicated and that’s all I can say about that. But the only reason I haven’t removed her is because she does a good job as Beta and no one in the pack has complained or called for a change yet, not because we were… fucking.”
“Stop the car.” Lynn suddenly said.
“What’s wrong?” He asked as he stopped driving along the path they were taking.
“Nothing’s wrong. I just need to set some things straight, there is one more thing that needs to be discussed and it’s all settled. Just to be clear, I’m willing to let go of all the questionable decisions you’ve made with your life so far.” Lynn moved from the passenger seat to the driver’s side and straddled Carson.
“What are you doing?” He asked with a gasp as she removed his belt and unzipped his slacks.
“As I was saying…” She leaned into him till their lips were inches apart and his eyes turned dark with desire as she gripped his hard length with her soft hand.
“… I’ll overlook your habit of sleeping around and leave it in the past. But let me warn you, If you ever try it while we’re mated, if you even look at another female for longer than a second…”
Carson groaned in pain as Lynn’s hands moved lower, grabbed his balls and twisted them hard.
“… I will castrate you. Is that clear?” She asked with a menacing growl.
“Yes, fuck! Let my damn balls go.” Carson yelped.
“Repeat it so I really know that you understand.” Lynn said.
“Let me go.” Carson said but Lynn twisted his balls harder and he yelled.
“OKAY, FUCK! I MUST STAY AWAY FROM EVERY OTHER FEMALE BUT YOU OR YOU’LL PERMANENTLY REMOVE MY BALLS. I GOT IT LOUD AND CLEAR.”
She let his balls go as he said that and he moaned as she wrapped her hand around his hard length and began to stroke him slowly.
“Do you like that?” She asked with a purr against his neck as her grip on him tightened.
His response was a moan as his hips moved to match the pace of her hand.
“It’s a reward for being good right now. If you keep it up, you’ll earn more rewards.” She kissed his neck and moved away from him and back to the passenger seat.
Carson stared at her in disbelief.
“Are you really going to leave me like this?”
