Chapter Forty-Three - Mating Ceremony

last update Last Updated: 2022-10-13 18:02:51

Kane’s POV

I couldn’t call it off. Dorothy had wanted this. Strangely, I dreamt about her and was taken aback when she insisted she’d meant I should mate Amy. I knew what that was: wishful thinking on my part.

Maybe that was why I claimed her in the shower. I promised myself it wouldn’t be for the last time.

That question about what happened to my grandmother’s wolf refused to go away. Everyone assumed they passed with the person, but what if that wasn’t the case? They were eternal creatures. Perhaps I should watch out. Assuming the next host would be as fierce and no-nonsense as the old Luna.

I grinned, remembering what she’d once said when I hadn’t realised I’d actually said it out loud.

“Less of the old.”

I hadn’t totally forgotten about the suspected treachery, though Amy and I could have been wrong.

For something to do to keep my mind off my inevitable fate, I went to look through Grandmother's belongings and found a sealed envelope addressed to me. It was to be read in the event

    Amy’s POVThe sun hadn’t exactly made much of an appearance, though there was a rainbow forming up above. I’d always liked the pretty colours and followed the human superstition of making a wish. Not for myself. I just wanted everything to go smoothly.That moment at the party when they’d played ‘Hound Dog’ had creased me. Who would have thought there’d be two Elvis’s always on my mind? I’d caught Kane’s eye and, just for a split second, we were on the same high frequency before I crashed and burned on seeing Selene.I mouthed the incantation while touching the centre of my pendant and soon I was in Massachusetts only a few metres from the diner. A digital clock on a pharmacy showed me it was close to 1300 hours. Time travel. How spooky was that? I’d only ever gone from A to B before in the form of a practice run when I accepted this mission.Slavery, after Jake’s selfish actions, had put an end to my freedom until I was appointed housekeeper.The distinctive aromas of fish and seafoo

    Kane’s POVSelene was pissed because I’d asked Chrissy to cover Amy’s role without consulting her. I was hoping she would punish me for undermining her authority by withdrawing sexual favours. No such luck. Her exaggerated sighs and moans were a total turn-off, leaving me questioning my potency.Those delectable desserts my housekeeper had introduced were quite literally off the table now. The pack warriors knew better than to complain, not so the older she-wolves.“How hard can it be?” my Luna muttered.She soon found out that it wasn’t all that easy to make a soufflé and her sponge cake lacked something indefinable. Burning pastry was her forte, though of course the Omega I had temporarily promoted bore the brunt of her wrath. In fact, my Luna started to blame Chrissy for absolutely everything and I demoted the girl for her own sanity.This time I was listening when she mentioned Barbara.It was clear by this time that Amy had left of her own accord. I played my ace, disclosing Jake

    Amy’s POVOnce again, Jarvis had missed out. I told myself this was only a mating of convenience. It seemed Michael had other ideas.Jake was keeping a low profile, or so I thought. Then I discovered he’d been banished.So much for Kane’s revenge.Would he take it out on this particular Lycan? I’d seen Rene’s condition and it wasn’t pleasant.He needed a strong Alpha female as his Luna and all he had was Selene. I supposed she would be giving the Omegas hell.As for the asshole himself, I missed him. You never forget your first love.First crush.I knew Misha was annoyed with me – but when was she not? She was frightened of the Lycan and said his wolf, Blaylock, was ferocious. Claiming I should be prepared to be torn apart when we mated wasn’t helping.Breaking the news that I wasn’t a virgin was necessary, if only for my own peace of mind. Should I claim Kane had forced me? It might make Michael more considerate. I didn’t know how to broach the subject and time was of the essence.If

    Kane’s POV We buried Dorothy in the woods as per her last request. I was still hopeful of recovering Amy though there was nothing new on that front. Maggie was distraught and I decided to have a consoling chat with her up in what had been Grandmother’s room. “Make it spick and span,” I told her. “I want to convert it into a nursery.” She looked surprised and also pleased. I grinned. “Just planning ahead.” She had to have a purpose and I had promised her there would always be a place for her here. The maidservant beamed. “It will be as spotless as ever, Alpha.” “Did you know?” I barked, startling her. “About Dorothy and my father.” Maggie nodded. “I didn’t put her up to it, if that’s what you’re thinking. Alpha, it was a last resort.” “Do you know why she hastened his end?” “Without Rene, he was out of control, Alpha.” “She didn’t have the right.” “Maybe not, Alpha. I took the key, but it wasn’t the same.” I stared at her. “Do you think I am becoming like him?” “Not any mo

    Amy’s POVWhere were my brains? The portal worked both ways, presumably. I knew I couldn’t go myself, but surely I could convince Ariadne to help Lisa. I still had my pendant somewhere. This would be my price for continuing to stay here and spy. I couldn’t allow her to be corrupted, not when I could do something about it.Involving Ingrid wasn’t an option, sadly. My newest recruit knew nothing about the network or my special powers and I was hoping to keep it that way, for her sake as much as mine. But she could help with minor details, like keeping up the pretence Lisa was in her sick bed rather than absconding.With the entertainment planned for this evening, it had to be now; today.I realised I could try and use my paranormal abilities to convince the Alpha King and his friends that time was marching slower. That would be a good test of my skills. I would have to use them sparingly in case I needed to apply for more personal reasons, like with Kane.Somehow, I wasn’t confident the

    Lisa’s POVAll went well with the incantation. Amy made me memorise it, just in case. I said it back to her obediently, by rote, then did my best to erase it from my memory. There was no way I was using this by myself. I never thought about my brother needing to know since it was a quick route back to the Alpha King’s castle, the one he’d seized for services rendered. For sure he would send a war party and not trust to paranormal tricks. Besides, I didn’t want to get Amy into trouble for being a witch.Trying not to think about what the Lycan would do to Jake’s sister on her return, I splashed through the puddles at the other side, behaving like a pup rather than an almost-mated she-wolf. I knew my way from here and hurried, belatedly in fear of the packless.The border guards didn’t take me for a rogue, which I supposed was something. They knew me by sight and, apparently, the Alpha had said just to “capture me by any means”.He’d not expected me to be by myself.Beta Jarvis met me a

    Amy’s POVI assumed I would be in a whole heap of trouble on my return and when time resumed its normal schedule. After all, Lisa hadn’t escaped on anyone else’s watch. This would be a test of Ingrid’s new-minted loyalty to me. She might change her mind again.There were several pillows under the duvet covering the other twin. I told Michael my roommate was ill right at the last minute. He didn’t like it but what could he do?Order me to work the pole, that’s what.I’d been an unacknowledged understudy knowing I might be called upon to do this. So far so good in terms of my fellow entertainer keeping her mouth shut. That might not be the case later when he discovered Lisa was missing.I did the rounds with drinks first and couldn’t help thinking about roller skates. That should speed things along and help me to evade wandering hands just when they reached an interesting bit.Tonight I had several of those on display thanks to the Lycan. Or maybe it was his mistress. Lisa had told me h

    Amy’s POVI had ‘lost’ my skirt as per the routine, glad that the hubbub disguised the distinctive sound of Velcro coming apart. I had to take comfort in small things since I wasn’t in a good place, literally.My panties were wet look to match my top and I was going no further, unless specifically instructed – and even then with extreme reluctance.Fortunately, the Alpha King was in his possessive phase and I didn’t have to reprise my gyrations. At least, not in public.I had no way of knowing, as he led me away from my audience, what awaited, only that it would be bad. Though I wasn’t sorry to be leaving the room. It heartened me to see that Ingrid seemed to be in her element, with Errol clapping enthusiastically, as she did a saucy little dance with a feather.Diana’s face held a cruel look, which wasn’t aimed at me but at her sister. They didn’t resemble each other much, except for the fair hair, and even that was a different shade. Was one of them wearing a wig?“You acted up on p

    Kane’s POV It soon became clear that Miss McGregor wasn’t a rogue she-wolf. She explained that she’d been heading back to her pack above the border in Canada when her car got a flat. Jake had offered her a lift when he spotted her hitchhiking. She said he’d been on his own and never mentioned another female. I would question him later. Expecting my Luna to burst through the door and start what the humans called a cat fight, I can’t say I was disappointed when she didn’t. After a brief lecture on how lucky Miss McGregor was not to be considered guilty by association, I stood up and looked her in the eye. “You can go,” I announced. She cocked her head on one side, regarding me critically, and I knew it wouldn’t be quite so easy to dismiss someone like her. Not without proceeding to formally reject her. Faith Isla McGregor beat me to it, not even hesitating over my surname and the name of my pack. I couldn’t believe the nerve of that she-wolf. It didn’t seem to cause her much pain,

    Lisa’s POVI was pleased to see my brother so happy and even unbent enough to invite Amy to tea. Kayleigh was there, moping a little, but she brightened up when she saw the Luna. Noah was supervising the border guards. Again. I’d pouted a lot until he told me Kane was thinking of appointing another Delta.He swore me to secrecy afterwards, but Amy knew. Of course, she would.“Does this mean there will be two Alphas again?” I asked, when my daughter was paying a visit to the bathroom.“No chance,” she said. “But it’s cool. Kay looks much better.”“Do you think so? I wish she would cheer up.”“She’s been through a lot.”Did the Luna think I didn’t know that?“Have a scone. Fresh from Ray’s bakery.” My visitor hesitated. “Go on. Take one at random. I haven’t poisoned them all,” I joked. To prove that, I selected one with blueberry jam inside and took a small bite. “Mm, delicious. I don’t know why I didn’t think of commissioning your stepfather to bake my daughter’s special cake.”“He’s n

    Kane’s POV“If I’ve won, I want you to … ”Amy whispered the rest.“What? No way,” I said, and went on to issue a stern warning.Just for a second there I was tempted to cheat, claim she'd lost. Until –“Be nice,” she hissed, putting emphasis on the second word and fiddling with the knot on her blindfold.I watched her struggle for a while – why didn’t she just lift the whole thing over her head? – before going across to the monitor and calling up the incriminating evidence.“You won’t like it,” I warned her, again.That had been a part of my reply when she said, “Show me the footage of you and Omega Sharon. All of it.”As if there had been other encounters in the past.The truth was laid bare, making her huff with contempt.“Satisfied, Luna?”“I thought as much. She was faking it. On your orders?”“Yeah,” I managed, feeling like I’d just crawled out from under a rock and couldn’t find my way back there.Exposed, just like Amy, yet in a very different way.“She must have told everyone

    Amy’s POVIt soon became apparent that Jake was lost to us. I missed Ingrid, too. Was he treating her right? I hoped so.Mom was inconsolable for a whole week and then, in typical Velma fashion, she moved on. That must have been something to do with Ray. One for the homilies, he was. She kept twittering on about my brother making his own way in the world.As far as I was concerned, he’d always been rogue material.I was biding my time to catch Kane off guard and then I would strike. In the nicest possible way, of course.It wasn’t long before we were back to sharing the same bed again. His hands kept straying to my tummy. So much for emergency contraception.I’d been feeling really sick in the mornings, something I’d not experienced much the last time around. Making him wait fit in well with my plan.Coaxing him back to our quarters that afternoon, I had a surprise in store in the form of a new game.This time, my intention was to win, though I allowed him a say in the ‘rules’ we were

    Lisa’s POVSomething was off about the atmosphere in the nursery. Dan usually got the blame but this seemed different. Even more unwholesome, if that was the right word to use about my only nephew.I didn’t visit the pups with my daughter any more. She was sensitive and tended to kick off if she knew we were going there.Noah and Kayleigh were closer than ever. I tried not to resent their easy relationship while I had to work at it. Maybe she sensed my annoyance and that was why she clung to the Delta when he came home to us. Or could it be that because I was always around she missed him more?I told myself that was it even though it bugged me. A lot.Picking up Dan’s rattle one day, I felt a surge of power. Static electricity, I thought. It didn’t plug in, that was for sure.He went ape until I gave it back to him.Dora wasn’t like that. She didn’t seem to mind when he took her toys off her. Maybe she was in awe of him – or frightened. I couldn’t be sure and knew better than to menti

  • Alpha Kane's Revenge   Chapter One Hundred and Thirty - Heart To Heart

    Amy’s POV The pups were hard work but I became engrossed in what was mainly pandering to their needs. It gave me time to think. I didn’t miss the decisions I had to make, the daily squabbles which had to be sorted between maids and Omegas. They were trivial in the scheme of things. It made me smile to think of the Alpha dealing with petty rows about dirty looks and the more serious allegations of slacking, which tended to be unfounded for the most part. Some of the older servants had heart conditions and they needed more regular breaks. If he reinstated punishment in what had been CC’s room I knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night in that same bed. Yet I couldn’t stop him. I had no say and wouldn’t be aware of anything like that given that I was stuck here for the most part, even for meals. He deserves to know. Misha, now’s not a good time. Do it. Or Rhett will tell him. Are you threatening me? My wolf didn’t answer, retreating to sulk, presumably. I knew she was right. The

    Amy’s POVSomething was going on. Something I didn’t understand. People were murmuring to each other and occasionally gazing at me. Was I paranoid? This had happened to a human at school, all because she had a fondness for snacks between meals.Suzie’s a renowned pie maker these days. At least she was.They’re not sniggering any more.Someone asked Chrissy in a loud voice if there was any Sharon fruit, to general titters. I didn’t get the joke. At least not until later when she knocked on the door to our Suite.I was tossing and turning in what had been the pleasure room.“You sent for me, Alpha Kane. And here I am.”“Give me a twirl,” I heard him say.What? I wanted to jam the pillow over my head, but I was curious.“Do you like it? I sewed it myself in my spare time.”“Very fetching.”There he went again with those old-fashioned words. Was I the catalyst, being around Mina and not ‘suffering’ myself. Still, I was proud of my extensive vocabulary so perhaps it was less noticeable wit

    Kane’s POVCC told me more than once that a good whipping would convince anyone not to re-offend. I didn’t subscribe to that notion. My belief was that discipline should be relative.Amy had failed as a Luna when she allowed the rogue she-wolf to abduct her without a fight. I intended to pit her against Lori, an up and coming female warrior, who had once shot her by mistake. That should serve to punish both of them.Maybe I would sell tickets, for charity of course.My Luna had betrayed me by succumbing to my former Beta’s kiss. At the same event, maybe I could have my pack members – men and women – line up to claim her lips. Standing up for hours, hungry and thirsty, her mouth swollen and parched. That would teach her.And now I had found the blister pack containing something which fuelled my fury yet further.A public whipping seemed highly appropriate.I knew I would put her through none of the above. She had always been mine to ruin.If it wouldn’t hurt our twin girls I would have

    Kane’s POVIf I had to absorb Blaylock, surely Garrett would help me control him? I could only hope. Asking Rhett would just depress me, because I already knew the answer.My priority was to rescue my cousin’s girl. We had a date to watch a movie for fuck’s sake. And Noah would surely not survive a prolonged invasion even though he’d been doing better recently. I needed my Delta and Kayleigh needed her stepdaddy.As for Lisa, words failed me. Her scream had alerted us and yet she must have been the one to lure the mage upstairs. My guess was she’d visited the lab and seen him.I was hoping to save him, too, if only by hosting the Lycan wolf once more. Though the mage was way down the pecking order. Probably last.In fairness, it didn’t seem as if Amy and Jarvis were lovers or even planning to be. Yet the crisis had elevated a level. Maybe they were just biding their time.I knew I couldn’t afford to think like that once Blaylock was in situ. The ancient Lycan would probably pounce on
