“Well?” Alpha Felix asks when I walk into his office later that nigh

“I know why Karlin was in a hurry to take over the pack, but I’re wore I understand has revning 1 sell him

“What does that mean?” He’s twirling his pen between his fingers a habit he has when he’s fucking,

“Alpha Waylon handed over his pack to a new Alpha this evening I say, grinning when the pen stops

“Who?”

“Sloane Hartwell,” I say, watching the disbelief on my Alpha’s face. I’m sure it was the same distele! I felt when I saw ber standing on the stage taking her oath as Alpha.

“He chose a woman as his successor?”

“Oh it’s get’s better,” I say, enjoying myself.

He sits back and gestures for me to continue.

“The Hartwell girl chose a female for her Beta”

“What the fuck? Goddess, I knew Kaelin was a pussy, but is he really worried about going up against two she–wohes?”

“I’m guessing he’s worried about going against Roman Hartwell and Austin Price, both of whom were in attendance along with a massive amount of warriors.”

Alpha Felix frowns. “Is the Hartwell girl even eighteen yet?”

“I don’t think so, which would explain the number of warriors guarding the pack currently,” I tell him.

“It’s a good thing I didn’t give my warriors to Kaelin, not that it was ever an option. He’s too stupid to have called off the battle when he saw he was outnumbered. What is Waylon playing at? There are any number of second sons or even Betas out there who could have taken over his pack, why Hartwell?”

“Well, THAT is also very interesting. Apparently, the Hartwell girl allowed the pack members who didn’t want to stay an opportunity to pack up and leave. I found one of them in a diner on the way back. I invited him join our pack, by the way, but he told me that Sloane Hartwell is Waylon’s granddaughter by his other son, Derrick.”

“They announced that?” Felix asks, shocked.

“They did. Waylon is calling her his ‘true heir

Felix snorts. “Oh goddess, Kaelin must be shitting himself. He not only got banished by his father but now he’s been replaced by a fucking she–wolf. What a loser. Do you know who the Hartwell girl chose as her Beta?”

“Scarlet Morgan, Alpha Austin’s daughter.”

“She is eighteen, I believe,” he says.

“And mated, from what it looked like during the ceremony. Also of interest, Alpha Benedict and Alpha Bethany were on the stage during the ceremony.”

“Why?” he asks, frowning.

Felix sits back and the pen begins to spin in his fingers again. I wait, giving him time to process what he’s thinking.

“We need to find out when she turns eighteen,” he says, dropping the pen again and tapping the keyboard on his computer.

“For what purpose?” I ask.

“Well, we can’t attack that pack and not expect Alphas Roman, Austin, and Adam to retaliate. I’m guessing we’d also have Alpha Benedict and possibly Alpha Will from the southern packs to contend with.”

“So again, I’ll ask, what does it matter when Sloane turns eighteen?”

“Because once she’s eighteen, and her protectors leave, we can invade her pack. You can mark her and then they can’t kill you or it will kill her. You become Alpha and we become allies.”

He begins typing furiously, then he frowns, looking around.

“What day is today?”

“Friday.”

“No, what date?” he asks.

I tell him and he begins laughing before looking up at me.

“Sloane Hartwell turns eighteen tomorrow. Time for us to start planning.”

Benedict POV

I wasn’t kidding when I said that I was getting totally turned on by Sloane acting like the Alpha goddess she is.

I don’t think all Alphas understand how sexy a powerful woman is, but I do. I’m not intimidated by her strength. If we’re mates, her strength will become mine and mine will become hers. We’ll be equals, or as equal as two powerful Alphas can

As I stood watching the pack members come forward, I was fascinated to see their shock at the power that Sloane is bringing to the pack. I’m sure some of that comes from Scarlet as well, but Sloane is the powerhouse. She’s the Alpha. It truly makes me wonder what it will be like one day when I mark her. Will I feel the rush of power like her pack members are, or will it feel closer to the power that I already have? Time will tell.

‘Too bad we won’t find out tonight, Marrok says, watching with as much interest as I am. Even Bethany gives me a look after so many pack members looked surprised.

‘Is she that powerful?‘ she asked.

‘Yes. As I said, people have always underestimated her.

‘Wow.’

When the ceremony was over and Scarlet announced the celebration, I stood beside Sloane as she walked around, talking to her new pack members. They all still seemed a bit startled by the new power swirling in their pack. Even as an outsider, I can feel it.

I made sure she took time to eat and I watched her new pack members assessing their initial impressions of their new Alpha and Beta. It will take an adjustment, but overall, the feeling I got from the pack was positive.

Since the ceremony was held earlier in the day than usual, and because many of us will be heading to Alpha Roman’s pack in the morning, the party didn’t go until late at night. I;m glad because I want midnight to come with just me and Sloane.

After saying goodnight to her pack, her family, and her friends, Bead Sloane away from the packie. The Alpha Boor, the floor where her room is, is filled with the visiting Alphas and I dit want any interruptions to what I hope is the first o many nights of us being bonded together.

Since our packs share a border, I know there is a clearing near the border, an area where you can see out over a ravine, and that’s where I’m taking her.

We’re quiet as we walk, both of us lost in our thoughts. When we get to the spot I wanted, I stop, turning to her.

“Benedict, if we’re not ”

I press my fingers to her lips. “We only have a few more minutes until we know for sure, Sloane. Don’t ruin it with what ifs,” I say, before leaning in to kiss her.

As always with Sloane, I get lost in the kiss. I pull her against me reveling, as I always do when she gives in to our kiss. Her scent around me gets stronger and I deepen the kiss, wanting more, needing more of her.

I swipe my tongue into her mouth, tasting her sweet honey flavor, I growl, deepening the kiss even more. I can’t get enough of her. She smells so good, tastes so good.

And then I feel it, the snap of the mate bond.

I yank away from the kiss, seeing the shock on her face.

“Mate,” Marrok growls possessively.

“Mate,” Aisling confirms.

“I knew it,” I growl. “I knew you were mine.”

I slam my lips against hers, needing to possess her, needing her to know that she’s mine. She may not be ready for me to mark her, but I can still brand myself on her body, her mind, her heart, and her soul.

“Mine,” I growl, unzipping the back of her dress.

She surprises me when emits her own possessive growl. “Mine”

She begins pushing my jacket off me, yanking my shirt open. The buttons fly off in all directions, but I don’t care. I pull the straps of her dress down and let it pool around her feet. I take a moment to look at her, standing in front of me in nothing but her sexy red thong. Her shoes got kicked off before we walked out here.

“Goddess, I am one lucky fucking bastard,” I growl.

“You’re a lucky bastard who is wearing too many clothes. Please goddess, tell me you have brought condoms out here.”

I pull multiple packets of condoms from my pocket.

“Good man,” she purrs, as she begins unbuttoning my pants.

“I need to taste you. Your scent, your taste when I kiss you is so much stronger now,” I say, kicking off my shoes and stepping out of my pants and boxers.

“Maybe I want to taste you,” she purrs, wrapping her hands around my hard cock and stroking me. Oh goddess, even her touch feels better than it did before. Electric tingles light up in my body, making my already aching cock even harder.

“The birthday girl should be first to come, don’t you think?” I growl, sliding my thumbs over her hardened nipples..

She gasps, then steps back, sliding her panties off, then lying on the ground.

“Is this what you had in mind?” she asks, watching me.

I crouch between her legs, pulling her left leg up and watching her as I kiss my way down her leg.

“You are so sexy,” I growl

She bites her lip as she watches me, and when I finally get to dripping wet pussy, I take my first taste of her honeyed

sweetness.

I groan before lapping at her arousal, sucking her clit into my mouth then holding her body down as her hips buck against my face.

“So fucking good,” I growl, my voice a combination of mine and Marrok’s.

Nothing has ever tasted sweeter than my mate. Nothing has ever sounded better than hearing her call out my name while she comes. I look up as her body arches, sliding my hands up to tease her nipples, making her come again.

“Benedict!” she cries as she comes again, her arousal dripping on my tongue. I lap it up like a starving man, then slide two fingers inside her, feeling her strong muscles contracting around me. I don’t give her any time to come down. I hook my fingers inside her and begin rubbing the spot that I know makes her come hard and fast.

Her body jerks through another orgasm. Her hand slides through my hair holding me against her body as she jerks through her orgasm.

I continue to lick and suck on her, watching the moonlight dance over her naked body. When I’m desperate and barely holding on, I pull off her sweet pussy and kiss my way up her body, reaching out to grab a condom.

“I need to be inside you. I need to feel you coming on my cock, Sloane.”

She kicks her legs, flipping our positions so she’s on top. She pulls the condom from my hand and sits up, straddling me.

“My turn to be in charge,” she says.

She rolls the condom down my hard length, then watches me as she slides herself onto me.

She moans loudly. “You feel even better than you did before.”

“So do you,” I growl

Then she begins to ride me. The moon is shining behind her making her look almost ethereal. Her perky breasts bounce as she rides me hard and fast. She looks like a goddess. MY goddess

She brings us both over the edge, crying out as I snarl with the force of my own release, grinding my hips up into her, needing more.

She collapses over top of me and begins chuckling.

“What’s funny?” I ask, running my fingers over her back.

“You didn’t bring enough condoms.”

“I have more in the other pocket,” I say, grinning.

She lifts her head to look at me. “Damn, maybe you are perfect for me.”

“I definitely am.” I say, flipping our positions before taking her
