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.
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
