He reared over me, kneeling, holding my thighs open so he could sink even deeper inside me, and I couldn’t help the desperate moans and pleas that left my lips.
I met his thrusts as they grew deeper and more savage, my body absorbing each one and replacing it with a fierce pleasure that radiated throughout me.
“Oh god, Brax!” I screamed as my body seized, ecstasy tightening deliciously in my core before exploding through me.
My head fell back as pleasure eradicated every other feeling within my body, and I clutched the sheets beside me, riding out the wave that consumed me.
Brax growled as I orgasmed around him, his own release following as he jarred against my hips, his cock swelling before he groaned and emptied himself inside me, his eyes meeting mine as he gave in to the pleasure with me.
He dropped my thighs and leaned over me, his hands holding him up above me as he caught his breath, his hair curtaining us.
I pushed it back, panting as I came down from my high, my body still hot and tingling with the power and pleasure.
“What are you hiding from me, Brax?” I whispered, my mind clearing of the lust fog and letting my thoughts back in.
He hung his head, kissing down my neck and over my lips.
“Derik’s parents are here; they turned up unexpectedly. He is trying to convince them to leave you alone, but by the way the meeting is going, I would say it is not going well, Spitfire,” he revealed, and my breath caught in my throat.
“Oh.” I let out the breath.
Derik’s parents. The elders. The traditional ones.
“Wow, your lips are sealed, huh?” Kai teased in our link, and I grinned.
“It’s not his fault. I am very persuasive,” I teased back, and Kai laughed.
“My parents are not something to joke about. They are pissed about the mating thing.
I don’t know how they are going to react. Especially since I don’t have a definitive answer on the whole heir situation,” Derik murmured, and his voice was strained even in my head.
Brax rolled off me then and did his pants back up. I moved into him and laid my head on his chest, leaving my dress bunched around my thighs.
I hooked my leg over his and snuggled in, my eyes closing.
“It’ll be okay, Derik. You’re the alpha. Not them,” I said, and I felt the warm smile that he gave me.
“I know, beautiful, and I wish that meant something to them.”
“Kai is on his way back to you. I have to entertain my parents for a bit longer, but I’ll see you at dinner. We’re having my parents as guests with the whole pack in the grand hall,” he said, and nerves ate away at me.
“Meeting the parents! Big step, Spitfire, you ready?” Brax teased.
I laughed. “As opposed to getting knocked up and mated?”
He grinned and kissed the top of my head just as Kai came into the room. He hauled his shirt off, revealing his huge frame and stacked muscles, a smirk tugging at his lips.
“Bite time, Little Human. You need to look and be as strong as possible at dinner tonight. Show D’s parents that he didn’t just mate with a human, he mated with a fucking winter born, and she’s a true luna.”
Kai winked before stalking over, and I grinned, my stomach warming at the words before he stopped at the side of the bed and dragged me to the edge of it.
His eyes were hungry, the beast in him making his stance over me so much more addictive.
Brax was up then, smirking as he licked his lips, his own bulging body shiny with sweat from taking me before, but that didn’t matter.
Wolves had the stamina of gods, and I loved every damn second of it.

Hours later, it was time to get ready for dinner, and my limbs were jelly. Kai was snoring next to me, and Brax was licking over my bite.
There was a howl that ripped through the silence, and I tensed, sitting up as Brax growled, his shadows bristling as they moved against mine.
Kai was on his feet in a second, pushing out the doors and onto the balcony.
“What happened?” he demanded, looking over the banister to whoever was down below.
“The wolves that were sent with the humans. Halu and Finch. They’re dead,” a woman’s voice responded, and I tensed as Brax did.
Kai’s fists clenched against the balcony railing.
“Pack dinner. Now,” he growled, and she let out a howl that tore through the air, the sound full of pain and promise: a promise of revenge.
I shivered, getting up from the bed, tears in my eyes as anger boiled in my stomach, rage in my heart along with a heavy ache that if the wolves that had escorted my mother hadn’t made it, what were the chances that she had?
“Your mother is alive. Her and Vaughn made it back to the village. There was an ambush waiting for the wolves to head back,” Derik said in the link.
I was relieved that my mother and Vaughn were okay, but to know that the wolves were being watched, that they were vulnerable to whatever tactics the humans had when they weren’t with the pack was terrifying.
“Are we going to retaliate?” I asked timidly, already knowing the answer.
Kai looked at me over his shoulder, his face full of rage and hard lines.
“Yes we are, Little Human. Brax, bathe our luna. It’s dinnertime, and the subject of tonight’s discussions just shifted from mating and heirs to revenge.
“I’ll be dead before I let those humans take any more wolves from us,” he said darkly before turning back out to the moon resting high in the sky and howling.
A chorus of howls followed, and the sound vibrated within me until I felt every ounce of the pain and hatred they did.
Maybe I was human, but tonight, I was going to be a luna. If that meant being a part of the power that tore apart the humans for revenge, then that was what I was going to do.
I just hoped the wolves, the elders, and Derik’s parents specifically, weren’t opposed to me playing favorites because I was not letting my mother, or Ryleigh and Vaughn for that matter, get caught in the crosshairs of this war.
22. The Magic
DERIK
“Be strong. Don’t show any weaknesses in front of them, okay, beautiful?” I said, cupping Lorelai’s cheek as she looked up at me, her eyes full of trust and love.
I hoped I could live up to that.
My parents were some of the oldest werewolves, alphas. Letting go of that position had been hard for them, but they had stopped turning years ago, their magic running out.
But even though now it was my time, they still doubted I could do a good job. I had proved to myself and the pack that I was a leader, an alpha worthy of the title, but my parents were still doubtful and condescending.
“What do you need me to say or do? I don’t want to meet them and make things worse for you,” she replied, leaning into my touch as she gripped my waist.
Her touch alone was enough to soothe the panic in my chest. I was good at control, usually keeping a tight hold on myself and my emotions, but my parents were particularly good at disarming me.
Lorelai knew how to put me together again, held me together like glue so I couldn’t fall apart while she was with me, but she didn’t know my parents.
They were not like the pack, or even the other alphas. They were traditional and were going to interrogate her like she was a villain until she proved herself.
Something not even I had managed to do.
“I need you to show your spine and teeth. They want the power; the show of power will prove you are good for the pack. That’s all they care about,” I said, and she nodded, steeling her eyes and jaw with determination.
I smirked, knowing she had what it took, just hoping she used it.
I leaned down and kissed her, the mating connection burning inside me as soon as our lips touched.
She held my hand as it pressed against her cheek, kissing back with a feverish passion that I hated to pull away from.
Lorelai sighed against my mouth as I pushed my tongue along hers, caressing it, tasting her, stealing every good feeling and moment I could before facing dinner with the pack and council.
I pulled away, breathing heavy as Lorelai looked up at me, her lips swollen from my kisses, her eyes glassy with desire. It was so fucking beautiful.
“Kai and Brax can’t keep them distracted forever, beautiful. Are you ready?” I asked, and she nodded.
“Born ready.”
I smirked at her dig, knowing her joking about being winter born was a self-disparaging thing, but I was eternally grateful for the circumstances of her birth.
“The child. My parents will ask you about it,” I said as I grabbed her hand and we walked out of her room.
