Chapter 55
“Huh, wait. Your first mate was also an alpha?” William asked.
His voice carried further than intended and drew a few looks in their direction. Though rumors abounded that Phoebe had been rejected, they knew nothing about her first mate. That fact no longer surprised her. Phoebe long ago realized the shame of rejection followed the recipient, not
the giver.
“Yes,” Phoebe nodded. “We met shortly after he returned from his time at the Alpha School. We only knew each other based on rumors. It was the first time we ever met face-to-face.”
“And he rejected you just like that?” William scoffed.
“He had already decided to take a chosen mate while he was at school,” Phoebe shrugged. “I guess he didn’t want to change his mind.”
She leaned against Jason, hoping he would relax. The moment William started talking about her first mate, he tensed. It seemed it was more of a sensitive subject to him than it was to her.
“You!”
Phoebe jerked to attention and turned to the door, as did everyone else, to see Camilla wearing a light blue gown. Máni sneered at the blatant disrespect. This was Phoebe’s Luna Ceremony and Camilla was nowhere near Luna status. At first, Phoebe wondered what the she-wolf could possibly want until she realized Camilla’s attention wasn’t on her, it was focused on Lily.
“Is she really doing this now?”
This should be interesting, Máni mused.
“How dare you try to take my place,” Camilla stalked toward their small circle.
Phoebe had to give the she-wolf credit as she boldly approached three alphas even if they were suppressing their auras somewhat out of mutual respect for each other. She could tell Jason and especially Reed had their hackles up while William seemed almost frozen. Did he really think this confrontation was avoidable? Ignoring the elephant in the room never made it go away.
She glanced at Lily, noting she seemed startled but not overly anxious. In fact, she actually seemed calm despite the situation she found herself in. Perhaps their chat in the spa helped her prepare.
Or perhaps it was something else.
‘Máni, are you doing something?”
‘I don’t know what you are referring to,’ her wolf huffed, acting as if it had just been caught stealing from the cookie jar. I might be nudging her wolf a bit, but don’t you feel it?’
Phoebe turned her attention to Lily, opening her mind through her wolf’s senses. Though Máni was

suppressing the males somewhat, she was doing no such thing to Lily. An anxious energy surrounded her as if her wolf was pacing, trying to suppress the urge to attack.
Mani?’
Her wolf has been suppressed a long time,’ Máni confirmed. ‘Nothing is more dangerous than confronting one who finally has something that is theirs.’
‘Should we do something?”
Interesting that you think we could.”

Lily’s eyes flashed as her wolf pressed forward and she stepped away from William to meet the approaching she-wolf she had yet to formally meet. Yet, she didn’t panic. Her wolf practically begged to be given control, so she loosened the leash a bit. Lily glanced at Phoebe to see her eyes shimmering silver with mirth and she became even more confident. What was it Phoebe said to do
if Camilla dared step in front of her?
Camilla approached looking furious, but oddly Lily didn’t sense any aura. Was her wolf not in agreement with this? Well, that didn’t really matter. Lily didn’t trust her courage. She knew she would wilt under pressure even though her wolf seemed far more confident, which was why striking first was her best option.
As soon as Camilla was in front of her, she followed Phoebe’s advice, slapping her across the face. Whether it was the force of the slap or simply surprise, Camilla’s head snapped to the side and she froze. Idle chatter ceased and all eyes not already watching the new drama unfolding were certainly aware of it now. Lily remained calm with her wolf firmly at the forefront.
“You dare approach your Luna like that?” Lily declared. “If you had any sort of dignity you’d know
better.”
Camilla stood with her mouth open in shock. Her face stung and her wolf was no help at all. She thought this she-wolf was a pushover. At least that was the rumor, but standing in front of her was a fierce wolf quite a bit taller than herself.
“I suggest you back off, unless you want to formally challenge me,” Lily said. “Well?”
Camilla hesitated before baring her neck and backing away. The others gave her a wide berth as she retreated as quickly as she entered. A few snickered at her unfortunate situation.
Lily turned, her eyes falling on William, who seemed startled and turned on at the same time. She returned to him, yanking him by the collar and kissing him firmly on the lips before saying, “If you ever look at another she-wolf again, I will castrate you with my bare hands.”
“Y-yes,” William said with a shiver of pleasure as her eyes slowly returned to normal and her wolf
subsided.

She looked at Phoebe and mirrored her smile, mouthing thank you. Phoebe gave her the barest of
nods. Lily headed for the door, practically dragging her mate after her. William offered no
resistance.
“Something you want to share?” Jason asked, giving Phoebe a squeeze and recalling his
conversation with Lucille, Ben and Luke.
“I was wondering that myself,” Reed agreed. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen my sister so…confident?”
“I might have given her a few pointers,” Phoebe answered. “But you really should know better than
to underestimate her. After all, she has just as much alpha blood as you.”
Reed hesitated, realizing the truth of her words. That was right. Lily’s soft-spoken nature often
made others forget the strength in her blood. Looking across the room, he wasn’t the only one who
needed the reminder.
Jason pulled Phoebe into his arms, kissing her deeply and loving how she fit against him. Her scent became spicy and he had a difficult time holding himself back. She smelled heavenly and he had been reigning himself in all night. Ever since his duel with Graham he longed to assert his
claim. She belonged to him.
He dipped his head, kissing down her neck and growling with appreciation as she moaned. Her fingers fumbled with the buttons of his shirt, but eventually her hands found his chest. Jason
groaned.
*J-Jason,” Phoebe moaned as his hands caressed her, slowly freeing her from her gown and letting it pool at her feet.
“I don’t know if I told you…you looked so beautiful tonight in that dress,” Jason mumbled. “But you
look beautiful out of it too.”
Phoebe chuckled, her hands moving to his shoulders and peeling back his shirt, “You too.”
Barking out a laugh, he gladly shed it eager to feel her skin against his. Her scent was so much stronger now his mouth was practically watering in anticipation.
‘Yes! Claim Mate! Mate is ours!’
With a possessive growl, Jason swept her off her feet, carrying her to bed and laying her down. His amber eyes were bright with lust as he stared at her, yanking off his belt and shoving aside his pants. Phoebe shivered in anticipation as he hovered above her. He captured her lips in his, dominating them even as he growled again. She was his.
“…Jason,” Phoebe moaned, breathless, as he moved to her neck and found her mark.
Fur bristled along his arms as his wolf pressed forward. They both wanted this, hungered for it.
+25 Pointy
The full moon dominated their instinct to claim what was theirs.
“Phoebe…” Jason muttered, barely in control.
She seemed to know what he wanted, or perhaps it was her wolf. As their lips parted, she rolled onto her stomach and rose up onto her knees. He forced her legs apart to make room as he slowly sank into her with a groan of satisfaction. They were wolves and this was the most natural
position for them to mate. Had they gone on the moonlit run, their wolves would certainly have indulged in their own sport.
Phoebe’s hands gripped the sheets as he found his rhythm thrusting in and out with
ever-increasing force. One hand gripped her hips while the other found her clit, stimulating her
from both angles. She moaned as her body clenched and her first orgasm consumed her all too
quickly. But he wasn’t finished.
He teased her, letting her ride her waves of pleasure only to increase his pace. She arched her back, encouraging him, not that he needed it.
“J-Jason…”
“Say it,” he growled. “Say what I want to hear.”
“Mmm……I’m yours.”
“Again.”
“I’m yours. I’m yours,” Phoebe could barely breathe out the words as their flesh slapped together and he buried himself in her. Jason growled as her body clenched around him and his control came undone, emptying his release deep within and filling her.
His.
She belonged to him and only him.
