Gemma's POV
Is Alpha Keen just a dream, because now he is pulling me towards what looks like his office. Both my parents don't even look concerned that I'm going with this huge guy into a room all alone. I know I'm sexually attracted to this guy and something keeps pulling me closer to him making me aroused just by touching his arm. How is this even possible? I don't think I've ever been attracted to anyone like this, and the feeling is intoxicating. My head starts to feel dizzy and I try to pull away from him, but he just grips my hand tighter almost as a warning. I might be attracted to this man but that doesn't mean I'm not terrified to be alone with him. Aren't my parents going to say anything to him? I thought my parents would say something because of their strict rules, but they just looked on as if this was normal.
I half suspected one of them to say something when he pulled me into that earth shattering hug. But they just looked on with warm smiles something I saw very little of in my past. Why does it seem like my parents have only been protecting me so that they can give a shiny pure, and innocent present to this Alpha Keen?
Before entering his office he announces, "Gemma needs to swear her loyalty to her new Alpha before she can go around town. This could be a while so why don't you call the school and let them know that I'm explaining all of our pack information to our new Luna Ahhhhh .. I mean member," Alpha Keen's raspy voices commands.
I'm in shock as my parents, and everyone else leaves while handling their various tasks. Their all seriously okay with this Godly looking, obviously crazy man, taking me where ever he wants. Then I think about what he just said new Luna, what is a Luna and how the hell did I become one. If he thought I wasn't going to pick up on his mistake he is seriously mistaken.
My body doesn't seem to think this man is crazy, but it keeps screaming at me to get closer to him. All I want is to be in his embrace he's the first person that I've had actual romantic feelings towards, and I'm just letting him do whatever he wants. Where are my defensive walls, and what am I doing?
As we enter his office the distinct smell of leather and hot chocolate hits my nose. It's so over whelming that the dizzy feeling starts coming back, and I start to loose balance slightly. The second the feel my body falling forward he reaches back to steady me. Looking directly in my eyes, and I feel something within me snap into place.
Looking into his eyes is like staring into his soul, and the depth scares me. His blue eyes our like ocean waves trying to pull me into his grasp, and then drown me into submission. It's both intoxicating and completely unnerving for a strange to hold that power over you.
I get another overwhelming assault by the smell of hot chocolate and leather that puts a blush on my cheeks. I've never loved two smells together as much as these, and I can feel my V becoming damp again thank God he can't tell how turned on I am right now. He turns towards me pushing me into the room and he locks us in his office.
As the lock clicks I feel excitement, fear, and complete confusion. Why did he need to lock us in his office? My minds starting to race, and for a moment I think about running from his office. The only problem is I have no where to go, and even if I did he seemed like he rules this town so it would be pointless.
The next thing you know he is dragging me over to the brown leather sofa that sits in the middle of the room. When he glances back at me with his mesmerizing icy eyes I shudder as a wave of electricity and lust washes all over me. I need to say something to break the silence between us.
"Alpha Keen can I ask what this loyalties process entails?" I gently question before we get to the couch.
As he turns around he gets a little smirk on his face and answers, "No Gemma you may not." He answers with a strict no nonsense tone. That wasn't the answer I thought I would get. Now I'm even more terrified at the compromising situation I'm now in.
Then he turns around to keep going to the couch, and as we reach our destination he picks me up bridal style to place me exactly where he wants me. His tall stature makes me look so small in his arms. I can honestly say the way he's making me feel right now is not only terrifying, but intoxicating. I shouldn't be allowing this to happen I should definitely be setting a firm boundary with this man. I'm trying to speak but I can't form a sentence, and after a few minutes of silence I whisper " please put me down."
As he sets me down on the couch he runs his eyes up and down my delicate body before sitting right next to me. Why is he so close? Why is my V pulsating in anticipation just by him rubbing his knee on mine? I know I'm a virgin, and haven't had any intimate interactions before but this isn't normal.
The shivers run up and down my body as he starts rubbing my knee, and I can't let this go on any longer otherwise I may go to far. He keeps stairing at me, and whenever I meet his gaze the world seems to stand still. I need to brake this transe that we are under right now.
"Soooo how do we start this loyalties process, and what exactly does this mean?" I whisper at the Alpha trying to get back to the task at hand so I can male it to my first day of school.
His husky voice sounds like it's filled with lust when he speaks, "O-K I like a girl that wants to get right to the point." He smiles at shoots me a wink. "So swearing loyalties to an Alpha means that you are a part of their pack, and that you will follow the rules and commands that the Alpha gives. You will also swear your loyalties by drinking some of my blood this links us forever and connects you to me. This has many perks that you will learn as you go. I know this can all seem overwhelming especially sense it doesn't seem like your parents told you much about their werewolf back round which is unfortunate." As he explains this to me he gets closer almost as if he is trying to seduce me with his voice, and it's completely working. The problem is I wasn't truly listening to what he was saying, but just kept stairing at his lips wondering what they would feel like on mine. I shake my head trying to get rid of the thoughts, and I hear him laughing. I internally begin to freak out wondering if this Alpha is a mind reader, and I'm instantly embarrassed . I begins to blush, and I try to hide my face in my hands. But the next thing I know he is pulling my hands away from my face, and then he captures my chin between his thumb and index finger. He pulls my face up to meet his gaze, "Rose bud, please don't ever hide yourself from me." I could feel his voice exuding comfort, and a longing that warmed my whole body. It made me feel like I was being truly seen for the very first time, and even though I've just met him he seemed to know exactly who I was.
Oh gosh Gemma get a hold of your self, and stop being so naive he can't possibly want anything to do with you. He's telling us really important information, but I can't keep my mind straight for more then a minute to listen to what I'm going to be doing in this ritual. Why couldn't I stop lusting after him?
The problem is his voice was working to pull me into him by doing all types of things to my body to show me I'm aroused. Just as I'm thinking about him the Alpha bites down on his bottom lip looking like he is trying to hold himself back just as much as I am.
I couldn't stop asking questions I wanted to hear his voice, "Alpha Keen how do I drink your blood?" I try to stay calm as I ask this question because I'm a little scared of what the answer may be.
"Well Rose bud I'm going to bite my wrist and your going to L-I-C-K it." He commanded and I could feel that this wasn't a choice at all, and I was no longer in charge of my future. This snapped me out of his transe, and I stand up "I'm sorry but I dont understand what's going on. I can't drink your blood that's not only weird, but completely unhygienic. I truly appreciate your hospitality, and thoughtfulness on welcoming my family into town. But this is alot and I'm gonna ...." As I begin to try to walk away I feel his hand grab my hand. Moving me to sit back down,
"I'm sorry I know this is probably very overwhelming. Damn it I wish your parents would have at least educated you on the basics of our pack." He ran his hands threw his hair, and his eyes were trying to capture my gaze giving me a pleading look. "I can't let you walk around town with out doing this first, and I know your freaking out but would your parents let you stay if they didn't know me." I didn't know what to say to him, and frankly my parents never even let me have guys friends so them leaving me with a strange man did take me by surprise. My parents seemed so happy here, and I didn't want to take that away from then so maybe I needed to just try to wrap my mind around this.
"Okay I will do this ritual, but can you garentee me this is safe? Like you've been tested or something I don't know. Because every health class I've taken has preached about like not coming in contact with other peoples blood." I know I'm rambling, but then I look at him and he begins laughing.
"Oh Goddess that's to funny. I've been advised by the elders to not reveal to much to quickly to you so I'm going to try explaining this as best I can. Okay?" I just nod so he will continue. " I can't get sick or contract blood born pathogens due to factors within my blood. We have to do a blood linking to make you apart of the pack, and I'm sorry that's non-negotiable. After this Rose bud you can go to school, and after school I'm going to personally start educating you about OUR pack." He seemed to put emphasis on the word our for some reason, and once again this was a command not a choice.
I guess he nick named me Rose bud, and he must have a sense of humor because if he's going to draw blood with his teeth his must have one hell of a bite.
Oh God before he said something about werewolves I didn't think about it, but now I was wondering what that meant. Like he was a werewolf figuratively that had to be it, because we all know that werewolves aren't real.
Before I could stop myself I ask one last question, " does everyone that comes into your pack drink your blood from your arm for this ritual?" I stair directly into his eyes because I know what he's trying to do here. Either test me to see how gullible I am, or freak me out so I take the hint that he is just messing with me to see how far he can get.
He looks emotionless at me with stern pierced lips, "no they don't but your going to!" His words were like an envisible demand that I wasn't going to be able to break, and dripped with a little lust to fully bend me to his will. I let out a little nervous squick and I could tell he loved that. I can feel the insides of my thighs becoming wet. It's as if he has awakened my sexual desires, and I have no way of turning them off. Every time he talks, touches, or looks at me my V begins to tingle. Before I can stop myself I blurt out, "Why?" Breathlessly trying to act as if he wasn't completely effecting me.
Now he seems like he's got me right where he wants me, and a big smile stretches across his beautiful face. He leans forward and whispers on my ear, "because I want you to do the most intimate things you can with me." He acts sly which only makes him even more attractive. I guess blush is going to be the permanent color of my cheeks, because this man is shameless. This can't be happening I need to stop acting so thirsty, and focus on the fact that this guy is literally trying to claim you, or maybe you miss heard and actually everyone does it.
He's talking about blood links, and being in his pack what is a pack anyways. Oh gosh everything he just told me keeps swirling in my head Luna, Pack, blood link, loyalties ritual, and my nerves catch up with me. I'm either going to have a panic attack, pass out, or puke.
I think I must have been wearing my worry all over my face, because in the next moment his fingers are holding my chin again. Pulling my gaze from the floor to his concerned eyes, and then he puts a hand on my thigh before telling me "it will all make sense soon I promise."
In the next minute I don't even care what I had to do, I will do anything to get him to keep touching me. What am I talking about, snap out of it girl! Stop thinking with your little Gemma, and start thinking with your brain already.
My bipolar emotions were giving me whip lash, and if I thought I didn't have control over them before now I really lost control.
He wastes no time as he looks longingly into my eyes, with the most intense powerful stair he speaks, "do you Gemma Rose, commit your loyalties to Alpha Keen and his pack?" I answer with out knowing what to say "yes my Alpha I do." I have no idea where those words came from I wanted to say yes but that came out instead.
"Do you promise to pledge your blood to Alpha Keen's pack and except every command he gives you?" I answer again " yes my Alpha I do."
With that he turns aqay from me bites his wrist some how drawing blood, turns to me, and I lean into him out of instinctual need as he cradles my head against his chest holding his wrist against my mouth as I lick at his wound. His wound heals where my tongue touches, and a low moan leaves his mouth.
I'm startled by his healing flesh, and the moan that escaped his mouth. "Rose bud that's what happens when your mate heals you." He gently explains as I heal the rest of his wound before he gently grabs my face, and with all his desire he presses his lips gently against mine. Then he begins biting my lower lip playfully, and with more passion presses his lips harder into mine.
I kiss him back matching his needs with my own, and intensifying the kiss by gently moving to stratle him against the couch. Without thinking about my actions I finally realized after about 10 minutes that by getting on top of him I was giving him a full pass at my delicate V. I also let his hard bulge know that I was seriously wet, and wanting him so badly that he could have me. He must have realized that my need for him was climbing, and he pulled away from our kiss breathing heavily studying my face. When I bit my bottom lip it was like something snapped in him, and he pressed his lips harder against mine making my body feel like it was about to erupt.
Alpha Keen's POVGoddess she just got on top of me, I promised Wayne I wouldn't let this get to far, and risk us being able to keep her. But she just non-verbally told me that her pussy is ready for my large hard bulge, and although I won't take this that far right now there is no harm in touching what's mine. As I pull away from our kiss to look at her I can tell her cheeks are flush, and her innocent stormy gray eyes are filled with lust. I loved how responsive she was to my every touch, and it gave me a sense of pride that I can excite my mate this way. I just keep staring at the angel that was straddling me, and as I bring my eyes back up to lock with hers I can see the worry that she's trying to suppress. She speaks but her voice is so low its barely more then a whisper of the wind. " did I do something wrong?"Oh no I would do anything to take away the sadness that begins to overtake my mate. On instinct I rub my hands up,
Alpha Keen's POVWhen I get to my bathroom I look in the mirror, and notice she completely soaked the croch of my pants with her orgasms. I've only seen her once and I can't wait to see her again. I feel like a complete asshole leaving her alone, but I've never been the kind caring guy. I can hear her in the other room, and she's probably completely confused but I can't help her.I will mind link Betta Andrew that Gemma needs a ride home, and to make sure her parents are home to talk to her about today. I will call the school myself, and just let them know that the new Luna won't be starting school tell tomorrow. Oh man, I royal f**ked this up.I try mind linking him and before he blocks me he yells, "handle your mistake yourself, your rule breaking has already made it to your parents."Who the hell does he think he's yelling at. I can feel the anger pouring off of me I snap at him through my m
Alpha Keen POVShe looks back at me with her pleading story gray eyes, and I feel like she has captured all of me within that storm. "Ummm .. yes please help me." Oh thank the Goddess, I don't know how on earth someone as selfish as myself would be fated such an innocent mate. As I stare at the most beautiful women I have ever laid eyes on (not that I would ever admit that out loud) I start to contemplate my next move, and without warning my father’s voice booms threw my mind link."William Keen get your ass ou
I knew exactly why the fear began to creep upon me and it had everything to do with my brother Westley, and our past. I had forgot that my mother had a deep love for our future Luna when I let my rage take over earlier, and we all remember the first two years after my mother had to let Gemma go. My mother and Gemma had a bond the moment she met the little glowing baby. We don’t know why, but after her mother gave birth to her and saw that she was going to be the next Luna she didn’t want anything to do with the poor baby. My dad’s Beta Marvin was so proud to have given our pack their future Luna, but the wind was ripped from his sails when his mate refused to even name her. After the first month of her being home he had a talk with my parents about not being able to care for her any longer. Everyone could see the fierce love Marvin had for his daughter, but without the help of his mate and her refusal to admit that anything was wrong he had no other choice but to s
Gemma POV What the hell is with this guy? I know I’ve never been in a relationship, but I don’t think it’s normal to do what he is doing to me. I really need to build my walls back up to shield me from the inevitable, and stop being vulnerable around these people that I don’t even know. My parents had strict rules about being around boys for a reason, and I think I am going to be upholding to those strict rules whether my parents are still enforcing them or not. I get off the counter grab my dress, and look around for my underwear which seem to have gone missing so I give up. I feel vulnerable and mortified by what I just allowed to happen with this man. I clean myself up, and exit the bathroom as quietly and quickly as possible hoping I don’t get caught by the devil named Alpha Keen again. I find my way back to the front door, and exit without looking at the two men gaurding the door. Breathing in the deepest bigg
Westley POVWhen I saw the most beautiful angel walking down the drive way I would have never guessed that she was my little sunshine. The moment she told me who she was I knew that my brother couldn’t have her, and I would be the one to make sure of that. Looking into her eyes I could tell she was too innocent for that monster, and from what she told me he had already taken advantage of the most beautiful soul I’d ever met.My little sunshine has been occupying my thoughts as far back as I can remember, and sense I was little whenever I saw her picture I always got a longing feeling. It was like my soul had bonded to hers when we were only toddlers. Before she left I was the happiest toddler, inseparable from Gemma everywhere she went I was with her and everywhere I went too followed. Then she was ripped out of our happy home, and it felt like sadness took over every cell in my body. My parents had brought me to the pack doctors
Alpha Keen POV I make my way back to my room just to make sure that she isn’t sitting in my bathroom anymore, and I don’t know if I’m hoping she is or wishing she isn’t. I open the door and I’m assaulted by her sweet scent lingering, and the minute I breathe it in I feel a calm wash over me and I’m instantly turned on as if her scent is Viagra. My mind displaying images of her, and I start to think back to how close I got to truly tasting my mate. No. no. no. this is all a lie it’s just that mate bond I have nothing with her I need to keep my head on straight. I decide that I need to call Madison to get Gemma off my mind, and let Maddy know what’s going on to an extent. I pull my phone out to see ten missed calls from Madison, oh shit well I’m going to be bitched out. I text her because she should be at school still. ‘hey what’s up?’ Alpha Keen ‘why is everyone saying that our new Luna was supposed
Alpha Keen POV He finally answers his door after I’m pounding on it for a good five minutes, and I see her snuggled in the middle of his bed. He tries to block me from entering, and I push past him shooting him pointed glare at him. I don’t understand what the hell he thinks he’s going to accomplish here, because no matter how much he may want her she is my fated mate. We both sit on the couch that’s directly across from his bed just starring at her waiting for her to wake up, and before we know it an hour has passed. That’s when I hear her calling me from the front door, and I look at Westley trying to figure out what he’s going to do. He glared at me allowing a deep growl to level him vibrating his chest, and he starts to get up moving slowly towards my mate on his bed. When he looks at her a devilish smirk quickly appears, and his growl is replaced by something that sounds like humming. The signal that he’s starting to awaken h
As evening approaches my birthday party guest begin to arrive as were getting the three little ones ready. William helps West wrangle Wyatt and Walker into a bath, getting their mini versions dressed in matching navy-blue button up shirts and dress pants. The twins are literally little mini versions of their father and uncle which I’m not going to lie pissed me off at first. I may have carried the two tiny lives, but besides their blue eyes having a gray tint it seemed as though the Keen genes overruled all of mine. The men put the two boys in the living room with tablets while they got ready.Skylar and I get ready together as always sighting the need for girl time. As I shimmy my baby bump into my rose gold mermaid dress I can’t help but stare at my beautiful daughter as she twirls around my dressing room in her matching rose gold princess dress. I’m lost in thought when my sister and her two girls come into the dressing room. Unlike my child
7 years later“Mommy, Mommy” My Daughters angelic sing song voice floats through the air. “Wyatt and Walker won’t let me climb up the tree house ladder.” My daughter Skyler cries softly to me about her big brothers as she runs through the back doors of the pack house. Her Auburn hair and gray-blue tear-filled eyes come into view, but before I can even answer her a loud booming voice is heard as heavy footsteps make their way down the marble staircase.“Where is uncle’s little princess? … Why is my little blue Sky so gray, who does uncle need to punish?” William says mockingly stern as she cries slightly louder as he makes his way to her. I shake my head watching him scoop up my youngest as she snuggles into his large broad chest trying to sooth herself. He makes his way towards the living room where I’m reading, and even though he has made it clear that he never wishes to have chil
Gemma POV I don’t know how long we collapse into each other’s embrace forgetting about the world around us until a loud knock sounds. We both jump looking at the other as I let out a giggle realizing that the three people in the sitting area probably heard more than they should have. I can’t help but feel nervous at what they think until West pulls me back into him giving me a soft tender kiss that comforts me so entirely that I almost forget that someone just knocked on the door. Getting lost in his kiss is far to easy, but when another knock is heard we realize that we can no longer ignore it. “We better get back out there even though I’d rather stay in bed pleasuring you all day.” West says to me before kissing the tip of my nose, then both of my cheeks, before placing a final hard kiss to my forehead. Which makes me coyly smile at him before moving slowly off of his lap to get dressed again. I can’t help but admire his muscular body
Alpha Westley POVWhen my father started charging towards my mother and William it was as if time slowed, and all I could think about was shielding Gemma from whatever horror was about to take place. As my father told his story she started to pull away from my chest to hear what he was saying even though she was still shaking like a leaf, but as he moved she wrapped her entire body around me so when I stood to turn us around after my mother shifted she just kept clinging to my chest wrapping her legs around my waist I began to hum to jump start my powers so I could better comfort her. As she began to take deep breaths of my scent in I noticed that she stopped shaking as much, and that when I let out the breath I didn’t even know I was holding sense my mother shifted. I knew that after everything we had went through this was only going to make her shrink back into her shell again especially if she saw my father’s bloodied dead body.“Will
Alpha William POVWhy does he keep calling us her boys?“See boys before you were born I had an identical twin brother named Thomson. He was born a couple minutes before me, but there’s never been twin Alpha’s in our pack so they weren’t sure which of us would become Alpha. Then when your mother was born a year they didn’t know which one of us was the future Luna’s mate.” As he keeps talking our mother begins to quietly sob as she drops to the floor obviously distraught by what he’s about to share. I look to West confused trying to see if he has any ideas of what the hell our father is saying, he doesn’t seem to but like me he doesn’t seem as fazed by what my father is sharing. I’m frozen in fear wondering what’s were about to learn oblivious to everything else that’s happening in my office until West mind-links me.‘Go to Mom Will, Gemma is still shaking I can&rsqu
Alpha William POVAs I slowly walked out of her suite it hurt like hell I didn’t understand why, because in my mind I had already came to the conclusion that I needed to let her go. It was time for me to focus on weeding out the traitors within our pack, and I knew that tomorrow was going to be a day of reckoning especially with West and I finally standing united. My father may have gotten his way in having Gemma and West together, but after tonight I know that West isn’t going to be loyal to anyone but his Luna.Everett had ratted out all three council members including my father who had apparently been the mastermind that had implemented his sick plans. His only demand for giving us all the information he had was to promise that we would send him to the same pack where his sister is so he can at least be by family while he serves his punishment. I had talked to Andy’s sister the Luna of the pack where Maddy was before we
Alpha William POVEver sense we rescued Gemma and Westley my life had become a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. One minute I’m ready to forgive Gemma for a betrayal that she wasn’t even in control of, and the next I want to hurt her just as badly as she had unknowingly hurt me.I was walking a fine line between love and hate with Gemma these last few days, but wasn’t that the true nature of passion? Love and hate were so closely similar that one could turn into the other so easily with a few wrong or right choices. If there was enough passion to fuel one or the other they were both possible. I could tell that my hot and cold behavior towards her started to change how she saw me, but it both terrified and relieved me that I might be close to losing her.After West was knocked out and in the care of the Coven King I tried to convince myself that Gemma was still my Rose bud from before the kidnapping, bu
Gemma POV I frantically stood up standing between the two Alpha males that wanted nothing more than to kill each other all because of me. “ENOUGH!” I could feel my molten lava powers surfacing as my emotions took over. I tried to take in a deep breath and center myself like Jennifer had taught me. “William it was my fault things got out of hand, and I forgot how this would affect you it was an honest mistake.” All he did was glare at me, “oh you forgot that I was your mate how convenient for you I wish I could do the same.” He spat at him, and I let out a small whimper from his hurt full words. When Westley stood up growling at his brother I knew that this situation was going south quickly, and the fire within me was now at the surface tempting me with its intoxicating pleasure to help solve my problem. I shook my head trying to clear my mind to stay centered, and when Westley’s hand comes to interlace with mine he
Gemma POVEver sense we got back from the cabin everything around me has felt surreal, the more they force how they thought I should feel on me, and what they thought I should do the more it all just felt wrong. Kade and William seemed to be playing a game of tug of war with me that I wasn’t even given the choice in participating in. I had started to enjoy spending time with Kade, but he felt like a wise older friend nothing more. Obviously I felt something for William, but I could tell that he was still hurt and angry about everything that had happened at the cabin no matter how much he said that he was trying to forgive me for him. Like I decided to go they’re of my own free will and betray him which only made me annoyed by his ever looming presence. He sat there in the background like a creepy stalker, that tried to talk to me as little as possible unless I had a question about my memory.William seemed to be adamant about me
