Chapter 104: Chapter 42

HALEY

Virgil and I stay at the Weston pack while Kenna spends the day with her family. Glory is overjoyed to see me.

After she hugs me, she hands me an envelope.

“It was in my envelope with strict instructions to wait until after the summit to give it to you,” she tells me.

I sit down to read the letter from Auntie.

My dearest Haley,

Congratulations on your mating to my descendant Virgil. I enjoyed getting to know him during the previous summits and I’m positive he will make an excellent leader.

I do not apologize for keeping him a secret from you, but I do regret having to lie to you. Of course, I could not reveal him to you, I’m sure you understand.

I left you everything as you are aware, however, the mansion in North Dakota is not where you will be staying. Virgil and Jason will not feel comfortable isolated from other wolves, so I have sold it and construction on your new home was started while you were staying with me.

Virgil and Jason will feel much more comfortable in your new home. I purchased the land that the camp was on. The pack house is now located where the spigot previously sat.

Ryan has the keys and helped oversee the project. All of the tomes and books are there along with anything else you might need.

I enjoyed our time together. You are a lovely young lady. I know you will do well for our kind.

Enjoy your time with your mate. Every moment is precious. I pray to the Goddess that your time will be much greater than the time I had.

Remember that mates are sacred and should be held in the highest respect. I love you, my dear. Have yourself a wonderful life.

Love always,

Auntie Lindra.

I wipe my eyes then look to Uncle Ryan.

“How did you manage to keep this secret from me?”

“You were focused on other things. She sent me everything the day after you left. Jasmine and her mate are there now finishing up.” He hands over the keys and Virgil squints his brows in question.

I give him the letter and his brows go to his hairline. I feel his excitement before he even looks up from the letter.

“She bought the land of the camp. Goddess, this is so perfect! We’re still close to our friends and family. I was worried we’d be living someplace isolated.”

I bite my lip as he hugs my shoulders and kisses my forehead.

Packing my things takes no time at all since it’s pretty much just clothes and a few trinkets. Also my stuffed wolf Nathaniel. Virgil picks him up.

“This little guy is cute, he almost looks like me.”

“Auntie said he looks like Nathaniel. You must take after him.” I show him a vision Auntie shared with me and I do recognize subtle shared traits such as the shape of their chin and softness in their warm brown eyes.

Virgil appreciates the vision. It is pretty cool to be able see the life of an ancestor.

We finish loading my things into the back of the truck then decide to head straight over to the new house after saying our goodbyes, for now. Virgil links Jason to tell them to meet us at the camp tomorrow.

A beautiful four-story pack house sits where we lived as pups. Of course, it’s perfect with a cabin feel. Jasmine and her mate Patrick greet us as soon as we arrive.

“Alpha King. Oracle.” They bow to us.

“Jaz, come on. You know us. Patrick, it’s good to meet you, what’s with the tent?” Virgil points to Jasmine’s old living quarters.

“The house is for the king and his mate,” he tells us and we both roll our eyes.

“The pack house is for my pack, which you are both a part of. In fact, everyone is. Pick out a room. You guys can be in charge of running it for us. If it makes you feel better.”

Jasmine’s eyes practically go Puss in Boots huge with gratitude to her king.

The couple show us around and I almost laugh at how much it suits my style. The largest room, they insist, is for the King and Oracle. It’s located in a wing with two more rooms as if they belonged to their own little house.

The opposite end of the house has the second largest room for the beta pair with two more rooms for their family as well. The rest of the house is set up like a lodge with every floor having two halls leading to different sized rooms all furnished with a pack in mind.

Virgil follows the map Auntie Lindra provided to mark the territory then he and Patrick take up guard duty. The territory is not as grand nor as large as most packs, but there is enough room for the training center that is already built a mile east of the pack house.

Jason and Kenna arrive early and are shocked to see the pack house. Virgil gets some rest and a few of the campers we grew up with begin to trickle into the territory throughout the day.

A total of eight families including Xavier and Paulina and their three little ones, and surprisingly, a pregnant Martha and her mate Oscar. I guess I was wrong about them staying in Memphis, but then again that was all before the Alpha King emerged.

By the end of the week fourteen more families arrive, the last of which is Glory and Spencer, with his parents expected to arrive after their trip to Italy. The Ramirez pack has two other doctors plus Natalie so Marlena decided she wanted to be here for her grandpups, the first being due in September.

Glory is attending nursing school at the local community college and Spencer got into the med program at Duke. He may be a goofball, but he had high marks in school. He plans to follow in his mom’s footsteps.

Virgil contacts Kya’s uncle Mark about building up the territory, beginning with a small clinic. I contact the four neighboring alphas to get approval for the pups in our territory to attend the school.

Of course, they all agree so I next speak with Principal Newman to set up a bus route for the pups. Most of them were already enrolled, but there are a few more from outside packs being registered.

The rest of my time is spent learning Mongolian in preparation for the summit there. Virgil studies up on wolf law and traditions in the little downtime he has.

Jason and Dec have already begun checking in on some of the more shady packs and reporting back to Virgil.

Geoff and Freya already laid down the law in their pack. In just one week six males went rogue abandoning their families in fear of repercussion for their wrongdoings.

The she-wolves are so accustomed to the horrible treatment that they blame Geoff and Freya for their mates leaving. A few of the remaining males issued challenges, but were all easily defeated showing the rest of the pack just how worthy Geoff is of being the alpha.

The she-wolves were not being educated so on top of training them to defend themselves, Freya had to get all the pups registered at the school the males attend, but also started teaching the adult females basic education.

Mongolia is incredible, and the dumplings are so delicious. The alphas immediately recognize us as the King and Oracle. Virgil establishes a regional representative based purely on instinct.

He uses my vision of past behaviors to support his intuition.

VIRGIL

Haley’s heat hits me like a Mack truck. She’s perfectly fine, chatting with Glory about her food aversions in the study. I walk by them to get to my desk.

I feel the change in her mood and scent her arousal. She looks at me like the predator she is.

“Glory, if you’ll excuse us. Spread the word we are not to be disturbed,” I say without even looking at her. Glory leaves with a small chuckle and locks the door on the way out.

Haley tears her clothes away in seconds as her animalistic side takes charge. I catch her as she pounces on me. Her skin is burning, so I rub my hands all over her sweaty body.

She nibbles on my mark.

I pull her away. “It’s all right, Moon Flower. I’m going to take care of you,” I tell her as I lay her down on the sofa. Her hands fumble with my jeans as her need for me grows stronger.

I shush her and caress her mark with my thumb while removing my clothing with my free hand.

Her body is glistening and her peach is dripping, ready for me to take her. I know we have a long few days ahead of us, so I use my fingers to pleasure her first. Dec warned me to take my time since she’ll be insatiable.

After she orgasms for the third time, I give my fingers a break and use my mouth to pleasure her. She presses my head in for me to get deeper. I laugh, but give her what she needs two more times.

“Virgil! Please! I need you,” she whimpers and scratches at my back.

“I know, baby, I know.” I blow on her peach then sit on the couch. I bring her up to straddle my lap with the idea of letting her wear herself out as much as possible before I take over.

However, she’s in excellent physical shape and she rides my lap for hours.

I’m soaking in her juices and the combination of our sweat. I lay her down and take control, thrusting deep inside of her. She’s so lubricated that I glide in and out smoothly.

She growls and scratches at me. I grip her tighter and give her everything I have. She’s over the moon in ecstasy several more times until I can’t hold back any longer.

My seed fills her up and I still, buried deep inside of her.

She’s breathless and her eyes are heavy, but I know she’s nowhere close to being finished. I slip my pants on and cover her with my shirt to carry her to our room. I take the small opportunity for rest while she naps with her hot body pressed tightly against mine.

Her heat lasts four days. We have to shift to our wolves a few times to make sure I knot inside of her—humans don’t knot. We sleep while waiting for the knot to release then shift back to go at it some more.

Finally, her body begins to cool and her mind begins to clear. I stay pressed against her as she sleeps for the next twenty-four hours.
