Chapter 48
Chapter 48
Colt slams into me, my face
pressed against the tile of the
shower wall. I moan in
pleasure and try to find a grip on something yet there is nothing but the slithery tiles. He holds my hips and thrusts, slamming my
bottom on him.
“Mh!” I moan.
He takes in a breath through
his teeth. “You like that,
baby?”
“Mh…yes…“.
He speeds up and then lifts
one of my legs up with his
strong arm.
This man can do whatever
he wants with me and he
knows it.
Suddenly, he turns me
around, lifts me up, and
carries me, my legs wrapped
around his waist. He starts
bouncing me on him, up and down, putting me into a
sense of euphoria. I cling to his shoulders and bury my
neck in his neck as I moan,
my noises muffled against
his skin.
“Harder…” He hears my plea and suddenly holds my ass with both hands and as he
slams into me, he squeezes
his hands gripping my ch*eks and moving my body
to meet his.
“Colt! Ah…I’m…I’m about
to…”
וו
“Good. Do it, baby!”
My fingers dig deep, gripping his shoulders. My face presses hard against the skin of his neck. “Mh!” I give a loud moan feeling my
body wiggle with pleasure.
“Mh…good girl. Now…it’s my
turn.”
He presses my back against the cold wall and relentlessly
thrust hard and fast into me.
“Uh! baby! you feel so good!
F**k!”
I am sure I am going to be sore again after this but it feels so good.
“F**k…mh…uh-!” He moans.
I feel his body shake as he
holds me in place and he
gives little tiny sporadic
moans.
He lowers his head to my
shoulder and kisses it. “Uh…I
love you so much.”
Makes me smile. “I love you
too.”
“You are mine…Cass.” He
starts kissing up my shoulder and ends up on the nape of my neck. I move aside
hoping that he is about to
mark me but he doesn’t.
He sighs. “I’ll make you mine soon. That f**ker Alpha
won’t have you.”
I giggle.
“It’s not funny. Pray that I
don’t rip him apart if I see him all over you.”
I sigh. “Please, if you don’t think you will be able to control yourself, then might
as well mark me.”
He gives me a kiss and puts me down. “I can’t. Honestly, I
almost tried there but I can’t.
The command still stands
and your father means
business. Trust me. I have
seen what happens to those
who disobey him.”
I give a huge sigh. “Fine.”
We shower and after getting
ready, we head out.
Serge looks worried as he
sees us come out.
“Cutting it close.” He
mutters.
“There you are.” The
moment we start walking through the hall, Poppy finds
1. us.
“Your father is asking for
you. The alpha is almost
here and you are taking your
sweet time. Come.” She
pauses and her eyes slide to my clothes. She sighs. “We
are late already so it will have
to do.” She takes my arm, wrapping it around hers, and starts leading me down but
as she does, she looks back at
Colt. “You can stay and perform your normal duties as a general. The Alpha said he doesn’t want you
anywhere near Cassiopeia right now.”
Colt gives a low growl of annoyance. I look back to see him standing with his hands in his pocket as he watches me go. I throw him a kiss
before we turn the corner
and he is out of my sight.
I walk down the stairs and as
I go through the front doors, I see multiple black cars arriving and lining up in the
front of the house.
Warrick stands in the front,
waiting. I drag my feet
towards him and stand next
to him with Poppy.
“Just as you wanted, here I
am.”
“Yeah…now put a smile on
your face.” He says.
I give him a narrowed side
look. He looks at me too but
his eyes go to my clothes.
“Did you not have anything
better to wear?”
I look down at my simple white button–up shirt and jeans. “I’m not trying to
impress anyone.”
“Oh yes, you are.”
“Nope.”
“Look, I am not good at playing well with others so this alliance thing is new to me too.” He says. “I have to use everything that I can and that means including you. So put a smile on your face and try harder. We need this now
that our enemies are on the
move.”
Before I can respond, one of
the black cars stops in front
of us.
Beck opens the door and Alpha Oliver steps out.
“Alpha Warrick!” He says
with a big smile.
“Alpha Oliver. Hope the ride
wasn’t too tedious.”
“Not at all.” Oliver’s eyes fall
on me.
My tough demeanor falters.
I forgot how good–looking
he was and the subtle charm
that he had just by his
presence. But my heart
belongs to Colt. I do my best to give him a smile. I have nothing against the man but
as I said before, I have no
desire to impress him either. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Lady Cassiopeia. How nice it is to see you again.” He
takes my hand and gives it a
kiss as he did the first time
we met.
I swear for the life of me I
think I can hear Colt growl
from somewhere.
“It is nice to see you as well,
Alpha Oliver,” I say softly.
He stares at me with a big
smile. I clear my throat but
continue to smile as well.
“Come. I have breakfast
waiting.” Warrick says.
This takes Oliver’s attention
from me.
“Perfect.”
The two men start walking
with their entourage― a group of people that come
out of all the black cars and
merge into a small crowd. Though I try to slide away,
Poppy steps next to me. She
takes my hand and leads me
after them. “You have to
participate.”
I grunt.
When we arrive at the dining room, all the generals are already there, including Colt. The distaste expression he
has on his face shows how
much he dislikes this
situation.
Warrick sits at the end of the
tables as he always does. I sit
next to him while Victor and
Garret sit next to me. Oliver
also sits next to Warrick on
his other side. We face each
other.
“So this situation with the
Blood River Pack, how
serious is it?” Oliver asks.
“They sent us the head of the
Alpha in a box. That’s how
serious it is.”
His eyes go wide with shock. “Why would they do that? If I am correct, you didn’t have an alliance with him.”
“I’ll give you the story later but the gist of it is that that mutt right there…” Warrick points at Colt with his fork. “He is the son of Alpha
Harry. He was next in line to be Alpha but his brother
Ezra is the one that has taken
over.”
Colt gives no welcoming
features, instead, he stares at Alpha Oliver with a bit of anger and says nothing.
To counter the awkwardness,
Warrick speaks.
“Self–appointed Alpha Ezra
has demanded Colt to be
given to him or there will be
war.”
He left the part where Ezra
also asked for me.
“Then why not give him?”
Oliver asks.
Colt can’t keep quiet. He gives a sarcastic growling laugh.
Warrick brings the attention back to himself. “Because, despite the trouble this all has caused me, he is too valuable. He is one of my best. Also, I do not give in to
threats. Who the hell does
this f**ker think he is.
Calling himself Alpha and demanding for me to
concede. Never. I’ll gouge his
eyes out myself.”
“No, you won’t. I will.” I stab
my sunny–side–up egg with
vigor as I say this, imagining
that it is Ezra’s eye.
He is going to pay for what
he did to Lauren.
“Like father like daughter,” Warrick says with a proud
smile.
I give him a side glance and I
am sure he knows I don’t like
what he is saying.
“Marvelous.” Oliver sounds
amused.
Ignoring their talk, I stick to my food occasionally
glancing at Colt who
obviously looks unhappy.
“And will Lady Cassiopeia
join us in these war meetings?” Oliver asks.
“Well of course. She is my
successor after all.‘
“Good.”
“And how is your pack fairing?” Warrick asks him.
“We are settling well. Rogues do keep us on our toes. Can’t really blame them since we
took over unclaimed
territory that they used to
roam. Oh! we encountered a
pack deep in the northern
mountains that
was…peculiar.”
“A pack? I know of no pack in
the mountains.”
“That is because it is an
unofficial pack. Apparently, a rogue Alpha established it. And it is peculiar because it is basically a rogue pack yet very restrictive on anyone that tries to just waltz in but it does let strangers in to
bask in what the pack can
offer.”
“Rogue pack?”
“Yes. They act like savages but it is a place where even human hunters gather and to my surprise as well, some
other creatures. Zao is the
leader. He deemed the place a free for anyone without a moral compass. They even have games… brutal games, pinning humans against
werewolves, some hunters
some just normal trained humans, or even werewolves
against werewolves.”
“What kind of place is this?” I
mutter.
“The kind of place that
hopefully you will never get
to see, my Lady.”
I hate that he seems to want
to treat me as a damsel in
distress.
“And how did you come upon them?” Warrick asks.
“I am the closest to the roads
that lead to the mountains
and I can only assume that
they do not want me meddling in their trades so they contacted me.”
“What kind of trades?”
“The illegal kind…even to
humans. Only those without
any morals may indulge in
this small village of sin as–Zao–the
self–proclaimed Alpha called
1. it. Not really a city but it
does look more like a trade
post than a pack. It even has its own market where all
kinds of people come from different places.”
“And you’ve been there?”
“Briefly, but yes.”
“Mh…Zao…I’ve never heard
of him…”
Oliver shrugs as he brings a glass filled with wine to his
lips.
Warrick is now suddenly
deep in thought while everyone else talks. Oliver however, sets his eyes on me.
“So, how have you adjusted to your new life here since
the party? That’s when your father found you, right?”
I nod. “It has been…a
challenge.”
“A challenge indeed. She is willful. “Warrick says.
“Warrick pauses and stares at
the man who comes over
with a pitcher filled with
what I assume is wine.
Warrick’s face turns into
confusion.
“Who-” Before Warrik can
finish, there is a glimmer of something shiny in the
man’s hand.
The man swings a knife at
Warrick but Warrick
immediately slides his chair
back, getting out of the
man’s way.
From behind Oliver and the
generals, two more men
reveal concealed knives. I
immediately get up and
from behind me there are
two more men. I quickly dodge the man who attacks
me but he is fast. He slashes
at me again and all I can do is dodge. Victor, who is the
nearest to me, comes to
action but this man
immediately dodges Victor and kicks him effortlessly, sending Victor flying. This man is skilled and fast.
The word assassin
immediately comes to my
mind. I am sure these men
must be Ezra’s assassins.
