"Embry was just like Theia. Too innocent; too trusting. They didn't see the real threat that Artemis poses. No one could... except me." Her voice trailed off as she met my eyes. The sadness in Destiny's face quickly turning hard. She grabbed my shoulders and shook me violently from where I stood. "No matter the risks, you have to keep going Adira.

The world needs it —we need it. Artemis is only going to get more aggressive,"

I didn't respond, because I already knew what I had to do, and it was too late to stop now anyway. Destiny looked at me with a small expression of pity, and it made me wonder what was next to come.

On the drive home I thought about what I was going to do with the red book, about Embry. I had to be careful otherwise he could try to kill me again; this time he would probably succeed. I attempted to shove the information Destiny had given me to the back of my head, failing over and over again. She told me she wasn't going to interfere again so her showing up was a big deal. This information could make or break this entire situation I'm stuck in.

I decided to go back to the packhouse because honestly I really needed some company, and I just had a hunch that Klayton would be there anyway. I walked into the house to find Issac bouncing off the walls —he seemed to be doing a fashion show for Lenna, who was just as giggly and as happy as ever. They both were clueless of the more recent turmoil I've been through.

If only they knew; it has just been getting worse for me.

The thought made me wonder how much they really did know? How much did Klayton tell his other pack members?

I am shaken out of my daze when Issac asked me a question. He was dressed in a grey suit, however, the jacket was discarded on the floor and his red suspenders stuck out against the white dress shirt.

"W-What?" I stuttered out.

"I said, what do you think? For the Alpha Assembly?" He leapt over the couch before pausing in front of me. He popped out his hip and struck a pose.

"The Alpha —what?" A small part of me definitely was still back in the cemetery with Destiny, trying to take in this world.

"Oh," Lenna breathed out as she was still on the couch, looking at Issac as if he was a snack. "Did Klayton not tell you?"

I just shook my head confusedly at my two friends.

Alpha Assembly? Why hasn't this come up before? Issac walked back to Lenna and plopped himself beside her, stretching his arms over her body smoothly.

"The Alpha Assembly is the annual meeting of packs and it's a very prestigious event. Mostly only Alphas, Lunas and Betas attend —which includes you now! Of course, you probably won't go to any of the actual meetings because you don't really know pack politics yet but there is a really fancy dinner where everyone gets super drunk and last year I —"

Lenna cuts Isaac off by gleaming and shouting, "Oh my Goddess we are gonna have to get you a dress!"

I started to shake my head —no way was I going— I didn't need to be paraded around to a bunch of werewolves who worship the person I was trying to kill.

Besides, Klayton hadn't even invited me. The thought struck a chord with me. Why hadn't he? Was he ashamed of me? A million thoughts ran through my mind and I shuttered. I hadn't even noticed that Issac had stood and was looking at me funny.

"What? Do I have something on my face?" I look at him, squinting my eyes trying to analyze why he was acting like that.

"You smell different..." Issac said, sniffing the air before his gaze landed on my neck.

"Holy fuck!" Isaac exclaimed aloud, before he jumped off the couch faster than I could process and was pulling at the corner of my shirt. I swatted his hand away like he was a little kid getting into the cookie jar. "I didn't think he had the goddamn balls!"

Lenna jumped up too and ran up to hug me. "Issac you owe me five bucks," she said while I was still in her arms.

She finally let me go and turned back to him, "I'm gonna go look online for dresses," she started to walk away but paused at the bottom of the stairs. "Oh, and Issac! The blue suit looked better," she winked at him and raced up the stairs, jumping two at a time.

Issac took no time running after her, only stopping to turn and say "Congratulations Luna," before he raced upstairs to undoubtedly fuck the shit out of Lenna. I rolled my eyes in disgust at the mere thought.

I sighed begrudged, as I took my place on the couch. So much for the company, I thought bitterly towards the two upstairs. I had spoken much too soon in my head however, because Klayton came downstairs swiftly, and looking as good as ever.

"I thought I heard you." He came over and kissed my forehead, and then leaned down to kiss my mark before I pushed him away.

"Then I'm guessing you also heard the part about me not getting invited to this Alpha ball or whatever it is," I pout out my bottom lip and try to put on an I'm angry face. But in reality, I was staring at his chest, thinking about how good he would look with his shirt off. I shook my head, is this really what completing the bond does? Make me horny all the time?

"Don't do that or we won't be having this conversation for much longer," He took his thumb and ran it over my protruded lip.

I decided to tease him, leaning out of his reach and saying, "Well what is that supposed to mean?" Instead of popping out my lip again, I take it in between my teeth, sensually.

"I'll take you upstairs and soon the only thing you will be able to do with that mouth is scream my name," Klayton's breath was hot in my face as he hovered over me, his entire body pressed against mine. I was unable to move, but I sure didn't mind at the moment.

"Well, I don't believe you," I knew I was pushing and what came next I was definitely asking for. Although, I was not going to say no.

Before I know it I am thrown over his shoulder and being carried away. The sudden movement made my head rush.

"Klayton!" I screamed out as my hair fell in front of my face. However, I wasn't upside down for long before I was being placed on a bed. I looked around and noticed we were in a random packhouse bedroom.

I don't even have time to blink before my pants are on the ground and Klayton is kneeling in between my legs. I pushed my knees together but a growl erupted from his throat. His hands found my hips and pulled at my thong until the strap snapped. He pulled it out from under me and stuck it in his pocket.

"So what is this Alpha thing?" I breathed out, the words hitching in my throat. I hated that he could barely touch me and I was falling apart in his arms like mush. Our sexual tension was at an all time high.

"Just a formality. I was gonna tell you, I swear, but I wanted to do it when you were ready. It would be the first time I would be introducing you as my Luna and I want you to be ready for that." I didn't even respond. Instead, I opened my legs wide and let him breathe against me.

I twitched and squirmed with excitement at the sensation. I wanted so badly for his tongue to be pressed against my pussy.

When his mouth pressed against me, my hands gripped the bedsheets —it was all I could do to keep from jumping in the air and my hips from thrashing. The sensation was breathtaking. I felt my chest get tight at his lightest touch. The bond had the best effects when it came to sex.

I became as quiet as I could, pressing my thighs against his head, biting my lip so I wouldn't moan.

He swirled it in little circles down one side of my pussy and then up the other, never quite dipping it inside me but hard enough that the pressure of every swirl made its way right to my clit.

I moaned as I ground my pelvis against his mouth. I wanted to feel his soft, wet lips encircle my clit. I wanted him to suck it into his mouth while he flicked at it with the tip of his tongue. I wanted to feel the wetness of my orgasm drench his lips and chin.

And then I wanted to feel his cock inside me.

Oh, I needed to have his cock inside me.

I looked down and pleaded with my eyes for him to make me come, biting my lip at the erotic sight before me. He smiled and kept eye contact with me, and then plunged his tongue inside me and lapped up my juices and then slid his tongue up to flick at my clit. I was riding on the edge of an orgasm, and he was making me ride it; making me squirm within his grasp. My legs tingled and twitched as he took me close and then backed me away.

He was teasing me now, as I had teased him, and each tiny flick of his pointed tongue sent a blissful jolt of ecstasy inside me that gradually filled me to overflowing. Soon enough I was soaring his from the orgasm that raged within me, my hips thrashing up but his muscular arms held me down as I cried out in bliss.

I instantly regretted it, but how could I? I was supposed to be mad at him. I didn't want him to suddenly think that marking me was okay.

I pushed at his head that was still placed in between my legs. My breath was ragged but I wasn't done interrogating him.

"So when is this event?" I looked around in the ground for my underwear before remembering that it was ripped and stashed away in Klayton's pocket. I could see him become nervous at my question. I knew in that moment that he had taken a long time to tell me, much longer than I initially had considered.

"In two days," he finally stood up and laid beside me. Taking my head between his hands lovingly, "and I would want nothing more than for you to be there with me. However, you don't have to if you think it is too much." His eyes gazed down in embarrassment. I could tell that he regretted keeping this from me for so long, but it was my turn again to play with him.

I stood up, putting my pants on without underwear. I could see him watching my ass as I jumped a little to get my pants up past my butt. I went over and kissed his cheek and whispering,

"I guess I'll see you there, Alpha." I let the last would drag out sensually, hovering my lips above his ear before turning and promptly walking out, leaving Klayton with his jaw hung open and a lonely hard on.
