**Jason's POV**The Dinner was a festive affair all the alphas vying for an audience with the king no matter how brief.As the snow started to really blow in, I locked Ariana's in my arms, and brought her to the ceiling high windows to watch it. She was vibrating with excitement, but managed to stay put. She whispered. "It's so beautiful! It's like the flakes are dancing with each other. This is going to always be my favorite time of the year. I found my family, my heart, my home!"I lift her into my arms and took her to our bed. I slowly undress her kissing every inch of her skin, as I expose it.She smells amazing. She tastes incredible. I will never get enough of the sounds she makes. As I enter her, her walls clench around me and I grind my teeth to prevent spitting my load like a thirteen year old having his first wet dream! Godddesss!As she drops off the edge for the fourth time, she pulls me with her and we are free falling. This! This is why I am here on this planet!We lai
**Ariana's POV**I kissed Jason and my dad, while Lily kissed Jack. "Be careful, my angel!" I nodded and smiled. "There are three packs arriving today. Please make sure our people travel on paws and not wheels. I don't want anyone hurt! Although Doctor Eric is shaping up to be a pretty good healer, he struggles with anything major. I love you!"Lily held my hand and we step out through the back door. Opening a portal, we step through. As we step into the opening some older woman gasps "Lily" and runs off.. I giggle. "You gonna shock them?" She grins and nods "Who knew justpopping in could cause such excitement!?" And we both laugh, as she locks her hand around my elbow we start walking to the center of the village.A woman comes out of a cottage shouting "Lily my dear child. It's been years! How well you look. You have been sorely missed!" And as she reached for her, she stepped back saying "I'm actually not here for a social visit. No one shows up after 18 years for a social call
**Jason's POV**Ariana and Lily got quite a bit of information and now, as I listen to Lily telling Jack about the hemlock, I am ready to destroy the entire coven. "Has the entire world gone mad? Our own king has decided to kill off all alpha leadership so he can become a dictator to the surviving ones. Insane!"Max yells. "Watch! Pouty pants has just realized his father has been misplaced Listen!" I laughed. "Misplaced?" MAX nods telling us yup, that's what border patrol said! Idiots. The kingdom is run by idiots. Alex is throwing shit, yelling at Mia, screaming to bring him the witch and as soon as Virginia shows up he orders. Do a location spell on my father. This instant! How did he sneak away? Where could he be! How long has he been gone?" Virginia looks at the two girls.Ariana sits up and walks to the screen. Looks back at Lily then back at the screen "I want those two girls out of there! Watch their body language look at their wrists."Cornelia's arm and Dahlia's throat.
**Ariana's POV**I have been diligently watching the witches for nearly a week. They are never without that snake, Virginia, so Lily and I are working out a plan, it's a little risky. I am working on a sleep/memory powder. It has to be daytime because I don't want to have to tote two unconscious witches through a portal.I'm on my way to discuss it with Jason! This will be fun. Jason looks up asIwalk in, he scoots his chair back and opens his arms. I climb into his lap and say, I have to talk to you about going after those witches. Dahlia has more bruises. She's becoming more withdrawn. I'm worried, Jason. Witches are supposed to be happy beings! The reclusive ones turn to the darkness and I can't let that happen. So, I have a plan! I made a sleep/memory powder. I blow it in the viper's face and she goes to sleep waking with no memory of me being there. I don't think it can be at night though because I don't want to carry two sleeping witches through a portal. Lily will stay on th
**Jason's POV**Ariana and I have been working in the office, for the last couple hours. Boring things that need doing. She's staying on top of provisions and supplies. The bills are being paid. We have decided to have a Christmas Ball. Our people are getting restless and everyone needs focus. Ariana has ordered Christmas trees for every pack. Huge ones!We had made sure every pack had an enormous communal tent so they still had together time and a place for pack meetings, in private. The amenities may not be five-star but everyone assures me they are comfortable. Jeremy comes in, sulking, Ariana smiles up at him "Why so glum, chum?" He sighs. "Just wanting to meet my mate! Dude! This is ridiculous. Max found his! I guess the holidays are making me feel lonely."She says "I get it! I do! The Christmas Ball is on the full moon, next Saturday. You will find her there. It's a feeling " And he jumpedup and grabbed her swinging her in a circle.Martin and Chris come in handing me a p
**Ariana's POV**I am beyond pissed and I am not even sure what I am pissed about but I know it isn't good. Opening a portal, we stepped through. I stormed myself to the center of the village yelling for Prudence, and Gloria. As before, Pru came out acting happy we were there "Where's my niece? I would have liked to see her" and I grabbed her by her throat stomping my way to Gloria's cottage, dragging Prudence with us, I slammed all the doors on the cottages to keep everyone inside.Slamming Gloria's door open I threw Prudence into a chair then shoved Gloria into one beside her.Restraining them both I sneered "Tell me! You fucking did not kill my mother! YOU TELL ME YOU DID NOT MURDER YOUR OWN DAUGHTER! ! What did you use? Botulinum?"Cyanide? Arsenic? No, no it was all three! You used all 3, didn't you!? You better fucking start talking and trust knowing, I can tell when you're lying. When did you learn the King was Eva's true mate? What possessed you to approach the Queen? Becaus
**Jason's POV**What a night that was! We got back just before midnight, and we all justfell into our beds. And waking this morning, my giddy, excited mate has practically vibrated off the bed. I laugh and scoop her up to grab a shower before breakfast.Her happiness is infectious and it can be felt throughout the entire pack.Walking to the dining hall, there was laughter, people singing Christmas songs, kids romping and playing. And I know it's due, in part, to Ariana's exuberance. The pack needs this right now. We need this right now! Sitting down, Max father says.."Alpha, Sophie went out last evening, and hasn't returned. We checked her room and realized she packed a bag. I think she's run off". I nodded. "Thank you for telling me. I am sorry she has to disrupt your family so disrespectfully."By the time we made it to the conference room, Alex had already been told his mother had died in her sleep and Chris mumbled "Too peaceful for that fucking pit viper" and the room erupt
**Jason POV**Every Alpha on Crimson Moon's territory had twenty pack members answering phones or returning emails. The response was overwhelming and gratifying! An entire species coming together to reunite in one belief. Every pack calling for the abdication of Alex.In the conference room, the alphas watched the catastrophic meltdown of the King. He ordered trackers out to bring in every rogue they could find by force, if necessary. He ordered combat training every day for six straight hours. He ordered Virginia to find him witches.What he failed to realize was lot of rogues had seen the broadcast and gone to ground not wanting to die for what they knew was a lost cause already. The witches had all been warned by the High Priestess helping the King of Wolves was a death sentence.Martin and Jason were systematically cutting off any additional aid for Alex. Jeremy had hacked into the palace's computers. He had already frozen all bank accounts.Seized all assets in the name of King M
