Riannon wanted to smack him. She knew very well what kind of game her ex
was playing right now. And she knew that he was very good at it. He knew just
what to tell the other alphas to make them concerned and to make them doubt.
After all, he was one of them. And Gideon wasn’t.
This was his chance to get back into the game and he wanted to use it. However,
what they were in now was bigger than him and his need to bounce back. So,
she couldn’t let him have his way this time.
“To throw accusations like that, Alpha Brayden, you need hard proof” she said
firmly, “I suppose you have something to confirm your words. Otherwise, it’s just
slander and you will lose the last bits of respect for you that still remain.”
Their eyes met and Bray knew better than to continue. It was different now that
she wasn’t on his side anymore. He used to count on her support in matters like
this, knowing that she would find the right words. But not anymore. Now she was
defending another. And it hurt.
“Let’s not drag this. I think we just got lucky today,” Ramina, the Alpha of the
werecats sighed, “And let’s be thankful for that. Right now, we need to gather our
strength and mourn
the ones that we lost.”
“But it doesn’t change the fact that it was probably just one part of the plan,”
Gideon said calmly. Surprisingly, he seemed absolutely unaffected by the
accusations of his mate’s ex,“ My guess would be that phase one was to
decapitate packs by killing the alphas and, in case that did not work, make
alphas weaker by killing their Lunas. And that means that phase two is about to
start and we need to be ready.”
“I agree,” Zack Morgan nodded, “We need to make sure our warriors are always
ready to answer the call of our neighbours if there is such a need in the future.historical
We united for a reason and right now it is time to prove that our alliance is worth
something.”
“I will dispatch lycans to each pack that borders the foxes and the werebears just
in case,” Gideon announced, “They will help you train and also help you defend
your territories in case of an attack.”
“That would be greatly appreciated,” an Alpha of one of the packs in question
nodded and others agreed with him as well.
“As for the deceased Alphas,” the king went on, “Right now their Betas will have
to step in as leaders unless they have heirs of an appropriate age. New alphas
should be appointed within this week. I am afraid it can’t take any longer.”
“Then this is it for today,”Gideon announced. Everyone was too tired by now after
everything they went through. “We’ll be in contact,” he said, and the leaders
started to say their
goodbyes. Brayden was among the first ones to leave and Riannon was able to
breathe easily when he was gone from her sight. She knew that his pride would
always stand in his way of accepting the new order of things. And she didn’t have
the emotional strength to fight him today anymore. She was too exhausted.
Her mate was still talking to a few alphas and she decided to go and get some air
while she waited for him to be done. No one was asking for her opinion on things
for now, since her pack was still in the making. Not that she wanted to share her
thoughts before she discussed everything that was on her mind with Gideon.
Outside, she saw her ex leading Roxy out of one of the ambulances. The omega
stumbled on the way and dropped right into her mate’s arms helplessly.
Riannon rolled her eyes as she turned away from the sight and almost bumped
into Ash’s chest. For a few seconds, she and the Beta were just staring at each
other.
“Is this true?” he asked, placing his palms into the pockets of his trousers.
“Depends on what you mean,” she couldn’t read his facial expression and thus
did not know what to expect from him.
“You have a mate,” Ash said in a broken voice, “A real one this time.” “It’s the
truth,” she nodded. There was no point in denying anything. Neither did she want
“The Lycan king, huh?” the Beta snorted.
“Trust me, I was as surprised as everybody else,” she gave him a weak smile.
“And you are not coming back...”
“Oh, Ash,” she smirked, “I am definitely coming back for what is mine. Just not
today.” She noticed a faint smile on his lips as he gave her a nod. “I’ll be waiting,”
he said, and for a second there was silence between them. “Ash, can I ask you
something?” she decided to try her luck one more day today.
“Of course,” the man seemed to be relieved for some reason. As if he didn’t know
how to talk to her anymore and was happy for her to initiate the conversation.
“Were you with Roxy during the explosions?” she asked and he furrowed his
“And what was she doing right before the explosion?” Riannon did not give up.
“Shopping,” he replied honestly, “She... liked that lingerie shop they had there.
Then, when everything happened, she was right next to the glass window and it
was broken from the impact. Roxy was thrown over the wall. I spent most of the
time trying to bring her back to her consciousness right until Brayden came
looking for her.”
“I see,” Riannon nodded. This wasn’t much and didn’t help her in her suspicions
at all. Then again, it was more important what Roxanne was doing prior to the
Summit. When no one even knew that she was there.
“Come on, Ash!” Brayden growled through the open window of his car, “We need
to get back to our pack.”
For a second there their eyes met and she knew that he was about to say
something to her. Probably something hurtful this time since he was obviously
angry with how today went for him. So, she turned away before he had a chance
to do so. She did not owe him anything anymore.
“See you around, Ash,” she said and walked away. Gideon, Ria, Maya and Reid
drove home together. The lycan king had his hands wrapped around his mate
while she rested her head on his chest. They were supposed to have their
triumphant return home but the recent events did not let them indulge in their
happiness. Too
many people died and they both felt guilty for the happiness that they felt.
It also did not escape Ria’s gaze that her best friend and her mate were not even
touching each other. Maya sat with one of her legs on top of another and her
hands folded on her chest, looking everywhere but at Reid. At the same time, the
lycan Beta was throwing glances at her from time to time, obviously eager for
more contact. But he did not push her, giving her the space she needed.
Riannon told them everything that happened today with Roxy, starting from the
very beginning and they all listened carefully to her.
“I know it’s not much,” she said when she was done, “But I do feel that she is not
that simple. Considering everything that she did in my previous life...”
“Wow,” Reid suddenly straightened his back, “Previous life? Did I miss
something?”
“Apparently a lot,” Maya snorted and again her friend wondered what was going
on between her and her mate, taking a mental note that she would have to
address this later.
her. “It’s worth checking, my love,” he kissed her temple, “Luckily, the video
footage was saved in the cloud. So, we will be able to check everything that
happened before the Summit.”
“Really?” Ria looked at her mate, “Then we will be able to find that Everett guy as
well!”
Every muscle in Gideon’s body tensed.
“What’s that supposed to mean?” he growled.
“I saw him again today,” she confessed, “Just a glimpse, but I saw him. Right
after the explosions when we were getting people out. I am sure that the two are
connected. Now more than ever.”
“Then it’s good that he appeared,” the Lycan king‘s grip on her became tighter,
“It’s best to know our enemies in the face.”
When they arrived back at the lycan kingdom, it was already dark. Gideon and
Reid had a few matters to deal with, so the girls went to their rooms first. Riannon
decided not to bother Maya tonight since her friend already looked exhausted
enough after the long day they had.
She was also tired, but after a long and relaxing shower her strength replenished
and she was disappointed not to find Gideon in her bedroom. She was even
more disappointed not to find him in his bedroom since it was the middle of the
night.
However, she had a pretty good idea of where she could find him.
She threw a black silk robe on top of the matching slip and went downstairs. All
the way to the lycan king’s office, where she found him staring at his laptop.
Luckily, Reid was nowhere in sight.
“Is this how it is going to be, Your Majesty?” she mocked him with a soft smile on
her lips as she closed the door behind herself. He lifted his eyes to look at her
and his mouth parted slightly. He could look at her forever and still be stricken
with her beauty every time.
“I am sorry,” he tilted his head to have a better look at her and liking what he saw,
“I just wanted to make sure that the footage was checked as soon as possible.”
“And?” she got closer to his desk and his eyes lingered on her slender frame.
“Unfortunately, there is nothing to incriminate that omega,” he sighed, “And as for
that Everett guy, the cameras were not filming the side of the car park. This is
probably why he was so bold and let you see him. It’s another dead end.”
shoulder and another on the laptop, closing it, “But this also means that you may
be done for tonight. And
His eyes flashed golden as he took the laptop and threw it into one of the
drawers, immediately bringing her closer by her waist.
“The things you do to me,” he smirked and pulled the belt of her silky robe.
“Maybe it’s time for you to do things to me?” Riannon shrugged her shoulders
and the robe fell all the way down to her feet, making her mate growl. She bent
down to him, lacing her fingers in his hair and kissed him greedily. Gideon’s
hands were roaming her thighs and as his fingers reached her most sensitive
part, a snarl of approval rumbled through his chest as he found out that she didn’t
have any underwear on.
With both his palms, he grasped her bottom and placed her on the desk before
him, spreading her legs for him. Riannon was watching his every movement as
he stood up, towering over her and started covering her body with kisses, making
her slip fall down to her waist.
“I am definitely the Moon Goddess’ favourite,” Gideon chuckled, kneading her
breasts in his hands, “How else can one explain me having you as my mate. The
perfect woman.”
“Gideon!” she arched her back, needing more action from him now than what he
was giving her and he happily obliged, sucking in one of her n***les and at the
same time inserting two digits into her
A moan tore off her lips as the pleasure started to build inside of her. In the
meantime, the lycan’s lips were travelling lower and lower her body, until she felt
his hot breath on her bundle of nerves and then his canines grazing over it softly.
And as soon as he started working on her with his tongue, she lost it, digging her
nails in his shoulders and moaning his name. He curled his fingers inside
masterfully, bringing her over the edge quickly.
She panted as he stood up again to watch her as if she was a work of art. But
Riannon was not nearly done, so she tugged on his belt, unbuckling it clumsily,
since she was still coming back to her senses after her rel**se. His hardness
sprung out of his pants and she stroked him a few times, teasing and making his
eyes go darker.
He grasped her thighs and yanked her closer towards him, pressing his head at
her entrance and at the same time lifting her legs higher.
“You are playing dangerous games, little mate,” he taunted, and a nervous laugh
escaped her lips.
“I am feeling brave tonight,” Riannon smirked at him and Gideon lowered himself
to capture her lips, at the same time entering her in one rough move which she
enjoyed to the
“I love you so much,” he breathed into her mouth as he thrust into her and she
scratched his back, tearing off his shirt in the process.
“I love you... too,” she managed to confess in between his powerful thrusts,
“So... much!
“Mine,” he growled out loud and lifted her up in the air, to which she immediately
hugged his waist with her thighs tight. He pumped into her again and again,
making her bounce on him while giving her back the support which she needed.
Riannon screamed in pleasure as he was filling her perfectly, the tingles of their
mate bond spreading over her body more than ever before. She felt Onyx
howling inside as she cl**max at the same time as him and bit his shoulder from
the intensity of the sensations.
Gideon was holding her tight, his most important treasure. Slowly catching his
breath, he sat back in his chair, placing her on top of him and pressing her to his
chest. She leaned into him as if she belonged there and it was the most natural
thing for them ever. His fingers were brushing her hair softly and, for the first time
on this very hard and uneasy day, they both felt happy and at peace.
Only to get none. “Ria?” he caressed her cheek and realised that his mate had
dozed off already.
“Should have done it while she was moaning,” Mars grunted, not happy at all with
how the night turned out.
“She is ours now,” Gideon smiled as he covered her naked frame and lifted her
up in his hands to take her to the bedroom, “Day earlier, day later – it makes no
difference anymore.”
Riannon woke up alone in their bed, but there was no disappointment
whatsoever, as she knew very well that her workaholic mate was probably
already performing his royal duties. A white rose on his pillow and a sweet note
only confirmed her thoughts.
She did not want to waste any time either and after a quick clean up, dressed to
impress and went downstairs.
However, she paused at the doors of the dining room when she saw Maya
standing there alone. She was clearly eavesdropping and this was so not like her
friend.
Her Beta noticed her at once and motioned for her to stay quiet, signalling for her
to start listening too...
