Sitting in Alpha Black's office an hour later, I decided to occupy the seat by the window while we were waiting for Jacob. I was so damn embarrassed after them seeing Damon and I in a compromising situation I just didn't know how to act. So focussing all my attention on what was happening outside which wasn't much, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to be able to not look anyone directly in the face. Hearing the office door open I quickly turn my head to make sure it was Jacob who was entering.

Jacob came in and looking in my direction he gives me a cheeky smirk before he speaks "Oh look, so you do know how to wear clothes then?"

"Stop it Jacob, she's embarrassed enough" Damon retorted as he let out a warning growl coming towards me he hauled me out of my seat and carried me back to the couch to sit me on his lap.

"Says the man with the claw marks down his back," replied Jacob letting out a dry chuckle.

"Ok children enough" came Alpha Black's authoritative voice. But he too couldn't stop the grin from forming on his face. "We have a few things to discuss. First up we need to work out why Sally is being deceitful and lying about carrying Damon's pup and trying to cheat Phoebe out of her Luna position? Why is it so important that Damon marks her is the biggest question? What do you all suggest we do?"

"I have a suggestion" I replied as I felt Damon put his hand up the back of my top to rub my back.

"What's that?" Alpha Black questioned.

"I think until we find out why she is lying and wants Damon's mark we should carry on pretending to be oblivious to what we now know, and carry on the same way as we have been." I suggest as I suck in a breath as I feel Damon ever so cunningly reach around my rib cage to rub my right breast with his finger.

Everyone tried to speak at once.

"I think that's an excellent idea" piped up my dad.

"They are mated and marked how is that going to work?" added my mum.

"Take a look at our marks, what do you think they mean?" Damon asked.

They all came over to examine our marks. "I've never seen a mark like that before, exclaimed Alpha Black must be because you're a white wolf Phoebe." My parents agreed with him.

"How are they going to be able to stay away from one another. Damon is fondling her now" Jacob stated.

All eyes turned to us yet again. I forgot that Damon still had his fingers on the side of my breast stroking it. I got up off Damon's lap and walked towards Jacob swinging my hips as I felt Damon's gaze on my butt. I threw my arms around Jacob's neck and pressed my body tightly against his then brought his head down to mine and licked the side of his face. "Well now I have your scent as well as Damon's scent on me. Do you think if we mingle our scents up, do you think that would work?" I asked as I watched Jacob wipe the side of his face.

"Yes, that could work. But Damon you're going to have to be convincing and try spending some time with Sally. See if you can work out why she wants you to mark her. Both of you are going to have to be careful. What about your sleeping arrangements?" asked Luna Black.

Damon jumped up from the couch with a vicious growl, and aggressively ran his fingers through his hair "I will not sleep with Sally don't ask me to." My growl fills the room at Damon's statement as I possessively follow him and wrap my arms around his waist to calm my wolf down. "I will sleep down in the Phoebe's suite with her, to keep her scent away from the top floor. If we run into trouble at least Jacob will be on the same floor." He stated as he returned my hug and burried his head into the side of my neck inhaling my scent.

"I believe that the three of you could work together and come up with a plan" admitted Alpha Black.

There was a knock on the office door, "Enter" yelled out Alpha Black. Boyd walked in with a medium sized box. "I found this a short time ago while I was running the North Border. It's addressed to you Damon." He hands Damon the box, Damon sits it on his father's desk just looking at it deep in thought. "Open it," I urge him.

He opened the lid and a horrible decaying smell wafted out. There was a layer of tissue paper on top so he put his hand in and pulled the tissue paper off and there looking up at us is a dead woman's head. Her eyes are open wide and you could see the terror in them. Her eyebrows are pulled up and together, upper eyelids are pulled up and her lower eyelids were drawn up as well. Her mouth was stretched and drawn back exposing her teeth. You could tell this woman had been frightened. I held my hand over my mouth trying not to vomit at the smell and the gruesome sight but it was too much. I had to run and empty my stomach contents in the trash can beside then desk. Alpha Black finds a note and reads it out loud as Mum and Luna Black both wore fearful expressions.

"Tic Toc Damon, this could have been your mother."

Alpha Black smashed his fists on the desk as a deep growl reverberates around the room, "What's the meaning of this Damon who dare threatens my Ava?" he demanded as he pulled Luna Black into his embrace.

"Alpha Brown, Sally's father when he confronted me about Sally's pregnancy, he told me that if I didn't make her mine and soon, well he threatened mum. I thought the threat was empty." Damon confessed.

"But that man that met Sally he is her mate, the pups father. Why is he saying you are? Why does he need you so bad to mate with Sally? asked Boyd as he shrugged his shoulders with a rather confused look on his face.

"That's what we don't understand" replied Damon as he walked towards me and pulled me towards the couch and sat me on his lap again, putting his arms around my waist and putting his head into the crook of my neck inhaling my scent.

"Let's just go take the whole pack out" dad suggested.

"I will just end this now and go and confront Sally. I mean if the pup was mine, she would have lost it by now, with our marks and all," stated Damon.

"No. We need to find out what this all means." added Luna Black.

Silence filled the room as we all became deep in thought. Alpha Black suddenly speaks up taking a glance in mine and Damon's direction and then moving his eyes over at Jacob. "We are going to go with Phoebe's plan. But now it seems he is going to target those closest to Damon. So Jacob, you will always be around Phoebe, Damon", he says as he glances back to us, "I think we should go ahead with the Alpha change over ceremony and make Sally your pretend Luna and hopefully we should start getting some answers. As you will become the Beta Phoebe that will give you the opportunity to be able to be at Damon's side without any questions asked on how you each have the others scent on you. Jacob continue to make sure your friends follow Sally as she is going to have a lot more freedom. Phoebe if you can please be nice to her, and Boyd" he starts as he turns to him, "get Cory to up patrol. First make sure this woman wasn't someone's pack members relative or anyone the pack knew. The only people to know of Damon's and Phoebes mating are those of us in this room as well as Tessa. Any questions?" he added.

"How do we have a fake ceremony?" I questioned.

"Leave the details to us Phoebe, we will have the ceremony in two weeks from today now go and spend the rest of tonight with Damon. Your wolves need some time together, and be sure to keep your marks covered at all times." Alpha Black said while gesturing with his hand for us to leave.
