Chapter 100: Chapter 38

HALEY

I step forward and release my power. The room falls silent, shock and awe clearly visible on several faces.

“A challenge has been issued and accepted. We will adjourn the beginning of the alpha summit until the winner of the challenge is determined. Gentlemen, and you very few ladies, if you will all follow me.”

I lead everyone to the meadow. The alphas and guards form a wide circle. ~Virgil. Remember he only has to submit. Be careful. I know you can do this but try not to get hurt.~

His eyes meet mine. ~I will, my Moon Flower. I love you.~

Virgil and Grey both strip down, despite the falling snow. We’re wolves; the cold isn’t that bad. I keep my eyes above the belt when it comes to the incredibly delicious Virgil.

Goddess, his body is perfect. She really broke the mold with him.

He relaxes as he steps into the center of the circle, but cracks his neck and loosens up his shoulders. Grey steps forward and assumes a rigid fighting stance. Alpha Redd links Virgil. ~You issued the challenge, you attack first.~

Virgil takes his stance and charges faster than I’ve ever seen him. Grey is caught off guard and is quickly taken to the ground. Virgil whales on Grey’s face, breaking teeth and his nose.

Grey finally reacts and throws an elbow to Virgil’s face. They roll so Virgil is on his back.

He kicks his leg up, knocking Grey off balance and into Virgil’s elbows. Virgil rolls them but takes a shot to the kidney delivered by Grey. He takes the advantage and shoves out from under Virgil.

Grey kicks at Virgil, but Virgil catches him and throws him to the ground, hard. Virgil gets him into a submission hold.

Grey shifts, making Virgil lose his grip, but Virgil shifts so fast he has Grey by the scruff just as he finishes shifting.

Damn, that was fast. I think Virgil may even be faster than Beta Chase. Grey claws at Virgil’s abdomen so Virgil lets go.

Grey spins on him, clearly better in his wolf than human form, but Virgil is still faster. He swipes at Grey’s shoulder, leaving a bleeding gash. Grey bites at Virgil’s muzzle.

Virgil swipes at Grey’s abdomen making him whimper in pain. In a desperate attempt, Grey tries to spin.

Virgil anticipates the maneuver and catches Grey by the back of the neck. Grey squirms so Virgil clamps harder. Grey relaxes, submitting to Virgil.

It’s not much of a fight entertainment wise, but efficient enough that Virgil has won and is now the alpha and Grey is a bleeding mess.

I watch the gold thread of Erwin Grey diminish to almost nothing as the thread of Virgil thickens and shimmers like sparkling sunlight. It’s brighter and stronger than any other thread. A hush falls over the crowd as Virgil’s power is felt by all.

The guards fall to their knees along with the weaker alphas. The stronger alphas stay standing, but tilt their heads up in submission.

Virgil gets to his feet and looks around to everyone honoring him as their king.

The clean smell of the woods on a rainy day overwhelms my senses and my mouth begins to salivate. Virgil’s warm brown eyes snap to mine. The world around us disappears and it’s just us.

He walks toward me and my feet move on their own to meet him. His hand gently touches my cheek with a warm energy pulsing between us. My hand goes to his chest and he inhales through his teeth.

“CLEAR OUT,” he commands, and everyone moves to leave the field.

“Haley,” he whispers my name then his lips fall to mine. His gentleness lasts only a moment as our bodies crush together. He picks me up and my legs wrap around him.

He carries me to the nearest tree and holds me against it. His hands grip my ass and his manhood is hard between us. He rubs his shaft against my core and my body reacts, dripping with desire.

“Tell me no,” he whispers.

I shake my head. “I don’t want to.” He smiles at me then crushes his lips to mine. He hikes up my skirt and moves my panties aside.

He pulls back to watch my eyes as he enters me. Only the very tip of him fits. He pulls out and rubs the head of his shaft up and down my slit before pushing back in.

My body is more ready for him and he slides in a little further. He repeats the process of teasing my sex until he’s fully seated inside me and my body has stretched to accept him.

I grip his shoulders as he moves in and out of me, filling and stretching me. “I love you, Moon Flower,” he says as his forehead rests against mine, our movements still slow and gentle, but firm.

“I love you too, Handsome. I’ve never stopped. Ah!” His shaft hits a particularly sensitive spot and my head goes back against the tree. “Oh, Goddess.”

His hand caresses up and down my body, under my dress. His touch is hot against my flesh. He palms my breast and hits that spot again.

I hiss and stars explode behind my eyes as my toes curl and my body feels lighter. My core grips tight around him, like a fist pulling him deeper inside of me. Virgil groans and his ministrations become faster and harder.

His body nearly crushes me to the tree, but Virgil is hyper aware of what he’s doing to me.

He hits that magic button again and again. “Oh Goddess, Virgil!” I kiss his neck and shoulder and my saliva drips from my teeth. He runs his nose at the base of my neck, then licks.

He hits the button one more time and bites down. He groans and the sound sends chills all over my body. My mouth opens as the starbursts reappear. Reflexively I bite down, sinking my teeth deep into his flesh.

That gold thread wraps around us and an oceanic wave of love hits me so hard that I cry out in ecstasy. My voice only muffled by his shoulder still in my mouth.

His shaft moves faster inside of me and his bite gets harder, deeper, more animalistic. My core clamps down tighter than even before and I’m lost to the heavens. His fluid erupts like a volcano inside of me, filling me completely with a warmth never felt before.

I retract my teeth and catch my breath as the reality of what just transpired hits me. Virgil pulls his teeth from my shoulder and gives the spot a few soothing licks. Slowly and almost unwillingly, he pulls his shaft out and stands me back on my feet.

He’s still catching his breath as he looks back and forth between my eyes. “I don’t understand. We rejected each other.”

My smile spreads across my face and I nod. Swallowing and licking my lips, I manage to speak. “That’s because I was destined to mate the Alpha King. You weren’t an alpha yet, your highness.”

He pulls a face at the title and I laugh. Holding my cheeks with both hands, he gets a serious look on his face.

“You’re my mate. Goddess, I love you even more than ever before. So completely. I can’t believe that’s possible. I feel you. I feel the very depths of your soul. You’re a part of me.”

I nod my head. “Yes. I feel you the same. Our bodies, our hearts, our souls. We’re one.”

Virgil kisses me deeply then pulls away. “Did I hurt you?”

I shake my head. “No. You were very gentle. It felt wonderful.”

“It was amazing. Goddess, Haley, we are mates, we’re mated forever.” His elation matches mine. He caresses my mark with his thumb and I shiver.

Looking around at the snow-covered meadow, he says, “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but we need to get back, we have a job to do. Can you walk?”

I giggle, but my legs are a little shaky. “I can walk. Your clothes are over there.” I point to where Alpha Redd left them.

Virgil plants a quick peck on my lips then grabs his clothes. I check him out as he slips them on. He slightly chuckles when he catches me.

He takes my waist and we walk back to the alpha summit together. The noise of the room dies immediately as we enter. Alphas Redd, Ramirez, Blackburn, and Uncle Ryan bow their heads to us and the rest of the room follows.

Virgil stands tall and proud. “Thank you, alphas. We have matters of business to attend to. Erwin Grey, kneel before me.”

The crowd parts and the once arrogant wolf, still covered in blood, falls to his hands and knees. “For crimes against werewolf and human kind and for the murder of not only humans and were, but specifically the previous Oracle, I sentence you to death to be carried out immediately.” Virgil holds the sobbing man’s head.

“Excuse me, your majesty, but what proof do you have against my alpha?” Grey’s guard steps forward.

Virgil ignores the intrusion and gives Grey’s head a swift twist, breaking his neck. His body falls to the floor. “Guard Romeo. I am your alpha.”

The guard falls to his knees in front of Virgil as only a small portion of his alpha power washes over the weak guard. “Remove this body and return it to the pack immediately. No one is to leave the territory. Anyone that leaves will be found and severely punished.”

Grey’s guard quickly does as told as soon as Virgil releases him. Virgil surveys the room. “Geoff Castleton, kneel before me.”

Alpha Ramirez’s eyes grow large, but he doesn’t move to disrupt the king as Geoff kneels with his head bowed. “Geoff, I grant you the title of alpha and bestow unto you the previously known Grey pack.”

I watch as Geoff’s thread expands and becomes that of an alpha. Virgil’s thread doesn’t diminish in the slightest, he’s the king of all alphas and they are his pack. “That pack is full of corruption, but you are strong and honest. Your mate is fierce and a force to be reckoned with.

“She will give those guys exactly what they need. She is deserving of the title Luna. My mate and I will be down there to help you sift through anything that is troublesome. Please stand and be greeted by your fellow alphas.”

He’s clapped on the back by several of his friends. Freya is humbled by the new title as Geoff shares the news through their link.

Virgil continues. “Alpha Declan Redd. My mentor and friend. I call upon you as the overseer of the East Coast alphas. I’m sorry man, but you’re going to become very busy. I’ll need you to run this area while my mate and I are elsewhere.”

He looks at specific alphas throughout the room. “Alpha Redd will be paying your packs a visit to ensure the Goddess’s children are being treated in a way she would approve.”

All of the alphas bow their heads to affirm his words will be followed. Dec just chuckles and hugs Virgil. “I always knew you were more than what you seemed. I’m proud of you.”

They clap backs then Alpha Redd musses Virgil’s hair. A few of the alphas chuckle at the reminder that the king is still fairly young.

Virgil takes my hand. “I present to you Haley Summers-James. My mate and the Goddess’s Oracle.” All heads bow and I cock my brow at my uncle.

He gives me a smile and lifts his head. “Guard Romeo had a valid question and you all need to know the truth. Haley. I’m sorry to ask, but will you please share what you know regarding the Oracle.”

I close my eyes and prepare myself for the vision yet again. I share the vision of Erwin Grey kidnapping Auntie Lindra from a hotel near his pack. One of his pack had asked her to pay them a visit under the guise of seeking help.

He ties her up and shoves her into the trunk of his car. He takes her back to his pack where he throws her into a cell and she sits perfectly still as she torments his mind with all of the atrocities he’s committed.

He can no longer take it when she calls him a coward. He rushes into the cell and breaks her neck. All eyes clear and the room is quiet. Heads bow in respect for the recently departed.

I step forward. “Gentlemen. The Moon Goddess would not allow her vessel to suffer. Oracle Lindra knew what was to come and is happy to be reunited with her mate, the Alpha King Nathaniel Thornley.

“As the new Oracle of the Moon Goddess, it is my duty to carry on her work. Let the East Coast Alpha Summit begin.”
