“I said get back here!” she demanded but he ignored her.
“Get buckets now!” Michael ordered the other pack members. “We have to keep the fire from spreading. Let’s
90!”
The pack members complied. Soon they made a baling brigade and splashed water along the perimeter of the fire keeping it contained as it slowly consumed itself.
After an hour it had burned itself down and the chances of spreading were minimal. Michael sent the majority of the pack to bed selecting a handful of warriors to guard and watch as the embers slowly died.
“You are going to pay for undermining my authority,” Kristie growled as Michael continued to stand watch.
“What authority? You’ve squandered what little you had,” Michael snorted. “You think those wolves you dragged to your bed did so because they were in love with you?
Abusing your authority is the surest way to lose it.”
“Y-you..take that back.”
“Truth hurts, doesn’t it? You been here for years and never took the least bit interest in this pack. Well, now it’s turning its back on you. And you have no one to blame but yourself.”
Before she could retort a howl of rage echoed around them.
Michael cursed under his breath. He had forgotten all about his alpha. Spinning he saw Graham bristling with rage bearing his fangs as his wolf fought for control.
S**.
Michael looked to the pack doctor who shook his head. He didn’t have another dose on him. Graham stumbled forward his gaze on the slowly dying flames.
“What happened!” he demanded.
The pack members still gathered bared their necks but none dared to speak as his aura washed over them. It had been a long time since they felt his authority.
“I said what happened?”
“I did what you didn’t have the balls to do,” Kristie declared tilting her nose up.
His rage filled gaze fell on her.
“You need to stop obsessing over that w***e. I’m your Luna remember?”
Before she said another word his hand shot toward her slashing open her throat. Wide-eyed in disbelief, Kristie crumpled to the ground like a puppet that had its strings out.
“Graham you need to calm down,” Michael said.
“Were you in on this too?”
“No! Of course not!”
Graham growled his wolf barely in check.
“Look, l’m sorry. Maybe if I’d been paying closer attention when you first brought Kristie here I would have realized… what’s done is done. We have to focus on the pack now. We can still put it back together…and later…you can find a new Luna.”
“I already have a Luna!” Graham snarled.
“She’s gone! She’s been claimed by another! You can’t challenge him…”
“Watch me!”
With a howl he suddenly shifted into his large, brown wolf.
Michael took a step back. It had been years since he saw his alpha’s wolf. He barred his neck to the enraged alpha wolf. He certainly didn’t want to be seen as a threat. With a snarl the wolf leapt off into the night.
Shit.
“Beta?”
“I need trackers! The best we got! Now! And someone dispose of this garbage,” Michael scoffed at the Luna’s torn body. His concern was for his Alpha and his pack. He didn’t have time to worry about her. At least she couldn’t do anymore damage.
Phoebe stirred. Her head rested on Jason’s shoulder, her arm lay across his gently rising and falling chest. How many times had they mated? She lost count. Each time blended into the next. Her body ached from their long session but yearned for more. It was oddly contradictory but satisfying.
“How are you feeling, angel?” Jason asked sensing she was awake.
“What time is it?”
“Five. Pack should be stirring soon.”
“That means we have to get up too.”
“Or we can call it a vacation. I’m entitled.”
“Is that any sort of attitude for an Alpha to take?”
“If it means spending the day with my beautiful Luna, why not?” Jason nuzzled her.
She tried not to laugh as she snuggled closer. His embrace tightened and she caught the scent of his arousal already stirring. She heard rumors of an alpha’s stamina but he was truly insatiable though his lovemaking was tender. His concern was always for her satisfaction and comfort.
His kissed the top of her head, “What are you thinking about, angel?”
…So, last night, was you’re first time?”
“Yeah. It was,” Jason caressed her. He would never tire of the feel of her skin against his.
‘.Angel?”
