Life’s Spiced Up with Some Werewolf Reads

Chapter 2 – Not Just The Beta (Oriana & Slade) Novel Free Online by Jennifer Francis

She felt him slip from her body and pretty much just flop onto the floor next to her “I knew it would be good.” He murmured from his place on the floor next to her, his breathing as ragged as her own.

Ori lay there trying to catch her own breath, she didn’t even really know how they’d gotten to this, them both naked and going at it. She’d known him her whole life, and they’d never even looked at each other like that.

She was just his Beta and he, her future Alpha. She’d never seen him look at her like he was attracted to her, not once. Yet here they were in his suite, and had just had drunken and very aggressive s*x with each other.

Her eyes moved to Slade laying on the floor next to her a few minutes later, after she was settled, and her breath was back to normal, she bit her lip a little nervously. She didn’t know what to say to him about what had just happened.

The man, she realized, was out cold, he’d passed out, it seemed. She sighed a little, guess she wasn’t going to know what he thought. Ori pushed herself up off the floor and groaned as her body protested.

“Just freaking great.” She muttered to herself, that had been her first time, and not only was it just a drunken free for all, it was with Slade, her freaking future Alpha. She knew this man well. He was not going to remember anything, never bloody did when he was drunk.

He’d drunk way more than she had, and she’d seen him not recall things before, after drinking wolfen loaded alcohol. Which they’d all been doing tonight. She got herself up and looked about the room. It was a little out of place, though she didn’t think he’d care or notice.

On the bright side, he wasn’t going to remember, and she could plead ignorance, a Beta did not just have s*x with her Alpha. That was a no-no. She looked for her clothes and found them, they were a bit on the tattered and torn side, as were his. She huffed as she realized she was going to have to make her way back to her room naked.

She never thought she’d have to do the walk of shame, let alone from Slade’s suite to her own. It might only be across the hall, but still, this was not something she’d thought about, or wanted to do with the man. She closed her eyes and checked the hallway with her pack tether for anyone out there, or coming this way. There was no one, so she slipped from his room and dashed across the 15-foot-wide hall to her own room. She didn’t want anyone to know what had just happened between her and Slade.

Goddess, if her father found out, she’d be removed from her position, so quickly her head would likely snap off her body. That was not something that she wanted, though she knew it was something her younger brother Hayden would want. He wanted her position as the future Beta.

Slade

He woke up on the floor of his new suite butt ass naked; yet, alone. He frowned as he sat up and rubbed his aching head. He really did need to curb his drinking. It was starting to get out of hand.

Slade knew he’d been woken by his father, Alpha Roman’s voice inside his head, ‘Get up son, you’ve got Alpha College today. You’d better be all packed up there.’

He groaned as he stood up ‘I am,’ he told his father ‘I packed yesterday.’ His eyes moved about the living room of his new suite, the coffee table was turned over and there was a lamp on the floor. He shook his head only to incur more pain, the bloody hangover was going to kill him.

He righted the coffee table and the lamp, then frowned as he picked up his clothes. They were ripped and torn in places, kind of looked like they’d been ripped off of him. He looked around the rest of the room, no she-wolf in here with him. Though she could have just gotten up and gone home at some point.

He took a breath in, long and deep, to try and scent the room. His recollection of last night was more than fuzzy, he had some memories of getting dunk down at the pack’s nightclub. He picked up Ori’s scent here in his suite and no one else. He closed his eyes and got a flicker of a she-wolf on all fours, and him holding her, taking her all hard and fast. He shook his head, couldn’t recall who it was.

His body did ache in all the right places though, so there had definitely been a girl in here with him last night. He shook it off and headed for the shower, washed up, shaved and combed his hair. Was, however, standing in his living area drying himself looking at the room; the spot he’d woken up actually.

He walked back to his bedroom, knew there was no she-wolf in there, and that bed had not been slept in, so presumably, the living room floor was where he’d hooked up with that she-wolf; they hadn’t even made it to his new bed.

Slade, dressed in casual jeans and black polo shirt, sat in the living area to pull his socks and shoes on, but still he could only smell Ori in this suite with him. It was weird to him.

He had a fuzzy memory of Ori half carrying him from the nightclub, getting in the elevator and then laughing a lot. So, he understood why he could scent her in this room. It wasn’t an uncommon thing for her to be in his room, she was his Beta. She’d been in here a couple of times and her suite was across from his. Perhaps she’d been in here this morning already, shooed that she-wolf away.

He pulled on that tether that was hers and Ori was not only up, but downstairs in the dining room already. Likely she was ready to drive him out to Alpha College, it was her job to do. She was, he knew, to drop him off and pick him up, each and every time he came and went.

Though as far as he knew, that would be just once, or should be unless s**t hit the fan, he was coming home for his little sister to get her wolf, so the family could all run together and get to know her wolf. Bond as a family, it was what most families did.

He smiled at the thought of a year at Alpha College, freedom from his father and his demands and constant hounding of him. There were also going to be other Alpha wolves there, male and female, that interested him a lot. Though his father was hoping that he would meet his Mate at Alpha College, and bring home an Alpha female to the pack.

Alpha-blooded wolves at his age were all just a bunch of horny teenagers, he was, he knew, going to thoroughly enjoy a year inside that Alpha College. Date any and all he wanted, it was an un-mated Alpha Wolf’s dream place. He could already well imagine all that happened was s*x, and a lot of it, with those that were willing. How could there not be?

Slade was actually looking forward to going. The only disadvantage to being there and not here, was that he’d be a full year behind in his university studies with his unit. When he got back, they would all have completed their first year, and be going into their second year.

He grabbed his suitcase which held all he was going to need for an entire year. Pulled it along behind him as he headed down the hall to the elevator. He saw Hayden leaning up against the elevator. The boy smiled right at him “Ori’s not here to do her Beta duties I see.” he clucked his tongue and shook his head, as though disappointed in his big sister. “I’ll take that for you Alpha.” He held his hand out for the suitcase.

“I’ve got it Hayden.” He commented, knowing that this boy, just six months younger than Ori herself, was in Beta training but not with him and his unit, with his own father, Beta Anders.

He had stated on more than one occasion, he was in prep for when Ori mated off out of the pack, while he was away at Alpha College. This boy was the second heir to the Beta bloodline, and he itched to be the future Beta.

Knew it was Ori’s actual birthright as the firstborn and that Slade, Palmer and Yuri had all grown up with her, trained with her and were already bonded to her as a unit should be. Hayden just thought he could push her aside.

“You want me to drive you to Alpha College?” he asked, “I got a solid night’s sleep, unlike Ori, who was out drinking with you and the boys.”
