Chapter 11 Chapter 11
Marcus’s POV
“Marcus! This is killing me! It's so unfair!”
Lila had been crying in my arms constantly since we had gotten back from the clothing store and my mind was going a mile a minute.
Nothing ever came of it since Sophia left.
The task to Lila, I had said, was to succeed Luna’s position and duties with the promise of a grand succession ceremony a few days after to announce the Shadowmoon Pack had a new Luna.
But I did not anticipate that things which should have been simple, that Sophia had clearly managed so capably, would become such a mess in Lila’s hands.
First, she screwed up the guest list so badly that several packs that had once been alms to me almost broke it.
Then at the dinner table,continuously acted obnoxious till I called it and she would then turn to me and stare at me with those...big...eyes...of...hers.
But the moment I even tried to be a little stronger with her, my fucking wolf, Hugo, will scream at me in my head telling me to be nicer to her.
Because of this, my pack was totally fucked at this point.
Some of our businesses were closing down and the packs I had always done business with were now threatening to break contracts and future business due to the new luna's mismanagement!
Fuck!!!
What was so damn special about Sophia that had everyone, both in and out of the pack, at her beck and call?
Even before the ceremony at Lila's forging had even been arranged, she was insistent on wearing the most beautiful dress ever at a succession ceremony.
"If I ever get to wear one of Rosella’s dresses, our pack will be the envy of all the others!"
She had a point. So after a lot of talking to different packs, I’d found a handful that would vouch for me and help me apply to that stupid clothing store, but I hadn’t expected to run into Sophia and her new mate inside.
I emptied the table and I threw everything onto the floor in anger, and finally, Lila stopped sobbing.
"Hey bro, you scared our mate? What the fuck is wrong with you?!"
"What’s wrong with me? I have never been so humiliated in my entire life!"
“But wasn’t it right in front of Ethan? What does that matter? Next time we’ll make sure we respond differently.”
“Have you forgotten that last time you couldn’t even hit him?”
“ Man! I was unprepared last time! Next time I’m definitely going straight for his throat!”
I didn't bother to listen to him because thinking about the pack's current state was giving me a headache.
After Sophia had departed, my pack and the Darkridge pack’s merger broke down.
I had been stripped of half of my land and my men, overnight.
My own standing with all my pack has fallen away, and I have less and less people willing to speak up for me and on top of all of that, now my pack was on the brink, and I didn't know if I could pull it back.
"Marcus, don't worry. I've got a plan for that." Lila said brightly as she rushed over and through her arms around me.
“Haven’t I given you enough problems?” I snarled as I shoved the stupid woman away with my hands.
Had she done everything right then my pack wouldn’t be so messed up as it was right now.
“Don’t be mad Marcus,” Lila whispered as she reached for me once more and encircled my neck.
She pressed her body against me, lifted her chin and kissed me as her hands shuffled over my skin.
My wolf immediately became ecstatic and practically purred at her touch.
That god damn woman always used that one trick to get the better of me and it worked every god damn time.
The tantalizing fragrance of almonds wafted up from her body and I reacted instantly, unable to hold back as I clasped my arms around her and my lips met hers in an even deeper kiss.
“Damn, you’re such a tease,” I breathed, my anger immediately forgotten as I went with what came natural ripping off her clothes until I was feverishly wanting to be inside every inch of this woman, making sure she, and everyone else knew that she was mine.
As I smashed her against the wall, I so roughly groped her breasts and my lips ferociously devoured her own, muffling every whimper she made.
"Shut the fuck up Lila, I don’t want anyone hearing you…”
I had closed my fingers round her throat with one hand I hissed.
as the other struggled with the button on my pants, longing to thrust herself into
between her legs.
Her large innocent looking eyes appeared to be bright with eagerness as I ripped off her panties and pressed her up against the wall, my fingers still coiled tightly around her neck.
“Those sounds coming from your lips are only for me, and no one else... you fucking understand me?” I hissed as she nodded furiously.
I ran my fingers between her legs and my wolf growled approvingly at how wet she was down there already.
She raised her leg and curled it around the back of my thighs drawing me urgently towards her.
I trembled as the end of my cock nudged her and she held back a moan.
Letting go of her neck briefly with a frustrated snarl, I scooped her up and aligned her hips so that as I pushed forward, my cock slid inside her.
She moaned as I pounded into her, and I growled aggressively, my other hand returning to her neck, gripping her and pressing her against the wall as I ravaged her mercilessly.
“I TOLD YOU TO BE FUCKING QUIET, YOU USELESS WHORE!” I growled as I pounded her as hard as I could on the wall, wanting to fuck the rage and frustration out of my body, and the peace that came after I emptied into her.
At this moment, her pleasure is the last thing on my mind, I want to make her pay for the failure of Luna, for making me lose Sophia, and most of all for making my wolf go mad with lust for her.
I hated not being able to control everything and it was all her fucking fault.
The tighter I squeezed her neck, the nearer to my own climax I felt; and in that momentary second I saw terror in her eyes as I lost all sense of control, as I screamed my release inside of her and unwillingly released my hold from her neck which you barely thought I loosened as I took hold of her chin roughly in my fingers as my covered her mouth with my own.
I kissed her with a possessiveness and ferocity that took the breath away and when I pulled away from her to wipe myself off, I gazed with some satisfaction at the fatty swelling on her lips.
After I had done what I needed to do, I went back to where she was, lying half naked and shivering against the wall, and I absentmindedly ran my fingers over her skin.
“You said you had a plan?” I asked as I softened again at the sight of her bare body, and lowered myself to bring one of her nipples in my mouth, while I rolled the other in between my thumb and forefinger.
“Sophia and her Darkridge Pack hold almost no land.” She responded, biting back a moan as she spoke, "If we can make her relinquish the rights to what little territory she does have, then that won't be an issue."
I was thinking logically as I ran my teeth along her nipples, her scent making my wolf crazy. Lila was right though.
That was the main reason I had picked Sophia as my mate.
They didn't have many people, but they had an enormous tract of land that had been acquired over the centuries through historic deals.
When I had been made her mate, the Darkridge and Shadowmoon Pack united and I rose to become the Alpha of the largest pack in our kingdom.
If I could just bring the rest of the Darkridge Pack under my banner again, then my own pack would be saved, but…”
Sophia obviously wants me dead right now… so why the hell would she hand over her rights to the pack to me?
"You're forgetting Marc," Lila said breathlessly as she reached for my trousers and began gently stroking my cock with her tiny little hand, "Sophia isn’t the Alpha of the Darkridge pack… it's her father."
"Wait... what are you talking about?," I said as I grabbed her hand, halting her seduction as I attempted to come to grips with this.
Lila laughed as she pushed me backwards into a chair, as she took her place above me, straddling my thighs with her perfect little pink pussy that was directly above my cock and he was hard as could be trying to penetrate her.
“You know… I happen to be one of the conspirators in this stubborn country’s history, and I also just so happen to have gotten a bottle of witch-made poison from the black market a few days ago,” She purred as she sank down excruciatingly slow on my cock.
I threw my head back with a moan of gratitude as she began to glide slowly up and down on me, a smile spreading across my mouth.
Poison huh? Well, I knew right away what to do about that.
I sneered as I grabbed hold of Lila’s hips and slammed up inside her while I jerked her hips down to meet my thighs violently.
She gasped in surprise and as much as I hated it, I saw Sophia’s face and not Lila’s as I pounded
into her over and over.
Just you wait Sophia, it won’t be long before you’re down on your knees in front of me begging me for help.
