Chapter 18 - Devin
Last Updated:
2021-07-26 08:57:11Being Monday, today was a day off for most of the pack. Monday is our day of rest and communion with the Goddess, since Monday is named for the moon. It's the reason that the word “Monday” is derived from the word “moon” in many languages (e.g., lunes in Spanish, montag in German, lunedi in Italian, etc.). So it wasn’t a problem when I sleep until 10. When I wake, Xander is there beside me. He stretches and yawns before opening his beautiful chocolate-colored eyes. When he sees me, a lazy smile crosses his face.
“Hey, babe,” he says, wrapping his arms around me.
“Good

I woke fully to the heavenly smells of my mates and pancakes. My body was pleasantly sore in several places and my hair was disheveled. I was naked and alone in the bed, but that didn’t last for long. “Finally awake, Beautiful?” Brandon says. I squint to see him standing at the door with two cups of coffee in his hand. He is wearing a pair of boxers and nothing else. I see the fading hickies on his skin from last night, as well as some new ones. He and Zak must have had some fun time while I slept. “I don’t know. You might have to come and help motivate me to get up.” He eagerly walks towards me, setting the coffee cups on the dresser before

Charlie and I are waiting in my office eight minutes later. We had told Brandon that Devin had a couple of questions and requests about his Gamma ceremony and we had to catch up with my father and his to prepare for the Blue Crescent pack. “You sure you don’t want me to come with you?” Brandon asked. He seems like he doesn’t want to leave us, and honestly, I don’t want to leave him. But Devin was clear that Brandon couldn’t be there. “Nah, man. We need your help with training the warriors while we push the paperwork,” I say, pulling him in for a quick kiss. “Do me a favor, though?” Charlie asks. “Anything, beautiful. What can I do?” He turns to her, running a hand down her cheek. “Work up a

The day goes by in a blur of phone calls and paper shuffling. Everyone thinks that being the Alpha and Luna of a pack is all glamorous. That we get to give orders and everyone else carries them out. But the truth is, it’s more like being the CEO of a company. We have to do a lot of networking in and out of the pack, completing paperwork, and understanding a little bit of every single job that happens in the pack. It is mentally exhausting and by day’s end, I’m wiped. It isn’t until Brandon walks in, bare-chested and covered in sweat, that Zak and I realize that we have been on the phones to other packs for hours. We’ve made good headway and have several prominent packs pledged to our side, but there are several hundred packs in America. We’ve got a long way to go. Brandon leans against the door jam, arms crossed over

I’m half awake, my eyes still closed, when I smell the most wonderful aroma ever. It is a heady mix of oak, nutmeg, and leather. I open my eyes and immediately see Xander sleeping beside me. “Mate,” I growl out and my wolf howls within me. I know that I knew about Xander being my mate before now, but this sudden sensation, this sudden sense of completeness, of being whole, is entirely new. Is this how he’s felt ever since we met days ago? I growl again, nuzzling my nose into his neck, my chest coming in contact with his bare back. Suddenly, sparks dance along all the surfaces that our skin touches and my dick immediately hardens. “Mmmm. Why are you up so early, Babe? We can still sleep some more,” Xander says, voice muffled in the pillow.

After an exhausting day of phone calls about war and rumors of war, Charlie and I had spoken to nearly all of the packs on the East Coast. We had alliances with several of them and several owed us favors. These packs held strong to their promise to us. My Goddess given gifts of negotiation had helped many and they wanted to help if they could. The difficulty was in convincing the ones who we hadn’t been involved with. We are a fairly well-known pack and I have at least a passing acquaintance with all of the Alphas on the East Coast. But that doesn’t mean that they are willing to help without knowing who the threat was or why. Even if you had the golden tongue of Hermes, how do you call someone that you barely know and ask for help in a rumored war, but you can’t provide any details? “Hi, this is Alpha Z

This is torture. Pure, agonizing, prolonged, and exquisite tortue. Xander and I are seated next to each other at the high table, in the place of honor on the left of the Alpha. The meal before us is sumptuous and unending. We are offered the choicest selections, after the alpha and luna, by gracious omegas. Both men and women shoot us seductive and flirtatious glances and smiles as they place plate upon plate in front of us. They know that Xander and I are unmated and they are hoping that they will fit the bill or at least be able to warm our beds for a time. Meanwhile, my mate is right beside me. He speaks amicably with Charlie’s father, whose position he will be taking tonight. Though Xander was not trained to become a Delta, he is a fierce and skilled warrior. He will make an excellent Delta. Charlie’s father will help to train him on the fine

The Oracle turns to the pack and says, “I give you Gamma Devin Laoch and Delta Xander Hawthorne.” The pack stands and cheers. The feelings of acceptance and love flow from all of us to our new leadership group. In a few days, we will do this again for me. I can’t wait to be standing there, to complete what I have been trained for, what I’ve strived towards my whole life. A feeling of longing sweeps through me, knowing of the bond that those five now share. Suddenly, above all the noise, I hear Devin yell, “MATE!” I am pulled out of my thoughts just in time to see him grab Xander. He yanks the right side of Xander’s collar aside, ripping the shirt nearly in half in the process. He bites into Xander’s neck, marking him as his

Can’t we just tell them? I plead with Zak via the mindlink. It would make all of this so much easier.Babe, you know we can’t, he responds. For one thing, the Goddess said not to. For another, I won’t risk losing Brandon. We just got him back in our lives and got him into our bed. I refuse to jeopardize that.He cuts the link and I make an irritated noise in the back of my throat. Damit. I know he’s right, but this shit is a pain in the ass.Most of the others have left, but Zak’s office still contains the current pack leadership, the former leadership, Xan

Welp, that was a shit show. It went about as well as we expected, though I had no idea that Arya would reject Xander and Devin. Having felt that with Brandon, I know what they are going through. And they will be feeling like that for two days until she returns. They are currently staying in Brandon’s room so that they are closer to everyone. Lauren and Mom are with them.Xander’s mom is in the pack hospital after her most recent bout of chemotherapy. She’s called and Facetimed several times, attempting to get him to respond, but he hasn’t really said anything.

After Devin entered and he and Arya claimed each other as mates, pretty much everyone was silent and shocked. Well, those of us that didn’t know. So everyone except the Oracle, Meredith, my mates, and me. And Mathias. I could already tell that he was pissed when Arya and Xander claimed each other as mates. I’m guessing that he and Arya were in some kind of relationship and he isn’t too happy to have his bedmate taken. But when Devin claimed Arya as well, his fury became palpable.Zak, Charlie, and I had watched as Mathias began to shift, seemingly without his consent. His wolf fed on his rage and began to take over his form.The three of us fanned out, each linking separate warriors to make sure that we were ready for whatever might happen.

As I walk through the packhouse, I can smell the most intoxicating scent of lavender and honey floating through, mixed with Xander’s scent of oak, nutmeg, and leather. It’s her. She’s here and with Xander. “Go, Gamma,” Lucille smiles at me as she sees me scenting the air. “Meredith will help me from here. We’ll be right behind you.” I gently release Lucille’s hand from my arm and place it on Meredith’s. I smile at her warmly before hurrying out of the house. I hear the loud voice of a male wolf say, “Looks like we have something more to celebrate, other than our packs’ meeting.” I figure it is Mathias, but I don’t even spare him a glance as I take in the sight of my two mates holding each other. Seeing the two of them t

I walk outside with Zak, Brandon, Charlie, and the pack elders. This is it. Our mate will be here in a matter of minutes. My heart feels like it is going to thunder out of my chest and I can’t help but reach out to the hand closest to me. It happens to be Brandon’s, which causes a sudden movement from Charlie and an almost glare from Zak before they see my face. I’m sure I’m as white as a ghost.Brandon looks into my face and squeezes my hand. “It’s ok, Xander. I know that this is incredibly hard, but it will be ok. The Goddess promised. You will see your mate today and then you will have her forever in two days. We’ll be here for you and you’ll have Dev. You just have to be strong for a little longer.”I nod, absentmindedly.

By 12:45 everyone but Devin,Lucille, and Meredith are in the dining hall. Everyone is tense, waiting for the inevitable blow-up. This is going to be bad. Really, really bad. “You’re going to end up hurting your lip, Red,” Brandon says, sliding his thumb along my lip to pull it from between my teeth. He bends down and gives me a quick peck on the lips. “I’m just…” “Nervous?” “Yeah,” “Me, too. But we’re going to get through this. I’m more worried about Dev and Xander than anything.” After leaving the banquet hall this morning, and fucking like crazy, Zak and I told Brandon everything about the Goddess’s visit. He knows everything and why we kept it from him. I have to s

We are all in the banquet hall to help Clara prepare for the Blue Crescent Pack’s arrival. Whereas the hall was decorated in soft drapery and blue and silver tones for the ascensions, there is a completely different vibe for this arrival. Clara mixed the soft tones of our pack and the large portrait at the end of the hall to display hopeful friendship and peace, along with displays of might. Clara ensured that the seating arrangements showed our best warriors at the head of the hall, while putting their pack below the high table with only their Alpha and Delta at the head table. Pictures of our wolves in battle and during training, both in human and wolf form, were displayed throughout the hall, along with copies of deeds of land that we had won through battle, treaties with other packs, and pictures of Zak and Jared with a variety of alphas from across the country. It was a way to show our prowess in battle and our

It’s hard to believe that the bond between Charlie, Brandon, and me can get even deeper. But the second that Xander drinks from the cup and our brotherhood is complete, it is almost like I can feel him in every corner of my mind. Though he has been inside my head as my mate, able to feel my emotions and occasionally read my thoughts, this is new. It feels as if his presence is everywhere. This ever present feeling is only matched by Charlie’s presence.Unlike our last ascension dinner, this one ends well. Many in the pack come up to congratulate not only Brandon in becoming Beta, but the three of us in our mating. Some of the older women start asking about when we are going to provide them with some pups to dote over. Charlie’s face is glowing at their questions and I can’t keep the smile off of my face. Brandon’s face starts out

“Members of the Artemis Pack!” The Oracle booms into the banquet hall, arms spread wide and a smile on her face. The meal was magnificent, a true testament to Clara’s skills as a hostess. Now it was time for the ceremony. Lucille’s salutation is greeted with howls and thunderous applause. “Today we are completing our pack’s new leadership with the ascension of our new Beta! “Brandon Snow will take his place beside his mates, Alpha Zakary Loup and Luna Charlotte Loup, and his friends Gamma Devin Laoch and Delta Xander Hawthorne. I cannot imagine a better choice for Lady Selene to pick as the second-in-command and helpmate to our beloved Alpha and Luna. His faithful and selfless service nearly led him to reject his mates for the good of our pack. I cannot imagine a more committed and loyal wolf to help lead us.”

Clara steps to the podium to welcome all of the pack to the dinner. “Good evening my beloved pack and welcome to our induction of a new Beta for the Artemis Pack!”A roar explodes from the pack, along with hand clapping and stomping of feet.Clara waits for the sounds to quiet down before continuing. “As our Silver Lady and our patreon goddess have blessed our pack with plenty, so we bless them with our fellowship and joy. In the spirit of love, support, and thanksgiving, I present to you our feast.”Clara’s arms open and the omegas enter the room loaded down with food in large serving bowls and plates. They set them on the tables for family style service among the pack members. More omegas came to the high table to serve us, starting with me and Zak, then
