For The Love of A Wolf

Lynette’s POV~

I’m sitting on the aofa with Liam playing the hand slapping game.. where our palms rest against each other and we take turns trying to slap the top of their hands before they can move.. first one to ten wins. He’s at four and I’m at seven.. he messes up if he gets aggravated.. which is almost every time!

Damien comes in… pissed off to beat the band! This is going to be ugly…and I’m going to love every second of it! He comes over… scooping me up and breathing me in. Liam pours him a whiskey.. and then sets my coffee on the desk. I blow air kisses at him and he mutters something about cooties. Asshole!

In waltzes Blaze… I am still astounded by the height of my guys! Good Grief! Stupid Sequoias! I smile at him.. he’s got such a baby face.. with his dimples and ginger hair! He flips me off and I whine “Damiennnn… make Blaze not be mean to me!” And Blaze mutters back “Like you couldn’t beat my ass! Crybaby!” We all laugh.. Well.. everyone except Christine. And then, that Dumbass opens her mouth “Damien! Why have I been brought here? Is it to torture me by rubbing this thing in my face?”

Damien starts to speak, but I squeeze his hand.. and I answer her “First of all… he is Alpha KING Damien to you.. speak his given name again, I will rip your tongue out. Ever call Me out of my name again, you will be executed! Regardless… I am not being rubbed in anyone’s face.. Damien is my Goddess given mate! Not yours. And never yours! Just because you spread your legs for every Tom, Dick, and Harry you sniff.. doesn’t mean they want you! Before the thought enters your mind of running to tattle to Daddy about me being mean to you…you might as well know.. he recommended we be the ones who talk to you! How awesome is that! You should be so proud of yourself! You’ve pushed things so far.. your own daddy has washed his hands of you! Damn! That’s like the worst kind of burn!”

The guys snicker and she says “You didn’t answer why I’m here.. like I knew you wouldn’t.. so, of course, I’m going to think you just brought me here to hurt my feelings!” I guffawed! I look at my mate.. “Is she serious right now? Is she on drugs?” I look back at Christine… “Tell me about your conversation with the council. Before you deny it.. know that you have already been thrown under the bus..” Her face lost all color.. she started to shake “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I wouldn’t even know how to contact anyone from the council.” I nod my head.. “Oh.. well that’s good! Because Liam is going to go through your phone… and your laptop. Did you know that deleted emails are easily recoverable by a talented techie? Deleted text messages are the same! Hell… even I know how to retrieve deleted text messages! Cool.. right? Still going with your tale?”

She looks directly at Damien and asks “ Are you allowing her to do this because she’s jealous and wants to get rid of me?” And he burst out laughing. “ You know deflecting..diverting.. seldom works right!? I do not ‘Allow’ my mate to do anything. She is her own person. More importantly, she is The Queen! The Goddess own chosen! By going to the council.. by betraying your pack… you committed treason against the crown! You realize that, right!? You, CHRISTINE… are a TRAITOR!!”

She jumps to her feet and screamed “I didn’t tell Councilman Lewis anything! You can’t say I did!” And everyone laughed! I remarked “Fuck me! It’s true… Give them enough rope.. and they’ll hang themselves! Damn!”

Damien quietly said “Sit down! Sit The Fuck Down! You are the only one who mentioned the councilman involved! Technically, you confessed. You will be placed in custody in your personal quarters until a decision is made. Shame on you! How dare you taint your father’s good name! The shame you have brought on your poor mother! How selfish! It’s beyond childishness, Christine! It’s blatant criminality! You will be lucky to survive this! And what of your mate? You, as much as killed him, too! His wolf has to live without the other half of his heart.. his soul! How long before he succumbs to death?” She whimpers “I haven’t met him yet” and Liam snaps “Of course you haven’t! You’ve been too busy trying to steal someone else’s!”

The guards appeared at the door. Damien told them to escort her to her rooms and stand duty! And I just sit here.. blown away. I looked up and stated “We can’t execute her. We can’t do that to Aaron! It’s not fair to him! Ultimately, it’s our decision.. since we have no council yet. But… I don’t want us to decide anything until we talk to her parents.. and yours. This is fucked up! And I absolutely refuse to allow our first joint decision as monarchs to be an execution!”

I crawl into his lap and snuggle.. needing the extra contact. He kisses my neck and whispers “I’m sorry. I should never have gotten involved with that psycho!” I growled “You don’t get to apologize for her brand of crazy! No one! Not one person made her do what she’s done. She only has herself to blame. I am just sad for her parents. As much as I dislike my sperminator… I would never discredit him. I might kill him.. but I would never humiliate him!” Liam choked on his drink “Sperminator? Really? Who fucking writes your material???” And the laugh we shared relieved the tension we were all feeling!

I sat up.. “Let’s all go hunting! We haven’t let our wolves out to play for awhile.. and I kimd of want to see if they’re bigger, too!” We all agreed to run the borders and see what game we could scare up!

I stepped out between two trees.. and immediately bounded for Demon! He licked our muzzle.. nudged us with his massive head and knocked me over. I huffed.. and flipping my tail at him, took off at a dead run. Demon was a good two feet taller than her and at least a foot taller than the guys! He was an imposing beast! They ran the borders and just as they approached the east,.. they caught a scent of wolves. Not rogues but not quite pack. It has me curious.. and I tell them let’s head back. I want to check security footage. They aren’t close to the border.. but they are as close as 100 miles. Definitely worth checking out!

Arriving back at the castle, I wait for Damien to throw his clothes on.. and we run to the new monitoring center. He asks “How close are they, do you think? I didn’t even catch their scent until you pointed it out with your bionic sniffer!” I laughed at him. He’s a dork! Liam comes in and says “Let’s start with the two tower cameras pointing that direction. It’s dusk.. and the sun is behind the mountain.. So any campfire should be showing up by now.. then we can back it up and see if there’s sign!”
