Sebastianâs POV~
I sit here listening to Arabella and am so impressed with her interrogation skillsâ¦how she gets people to talk without laying a hand on them. She appeals to their ego and gets them telling her all their family secrets. But looking at Byron, itâs obvious heâs going to lie. And sheâs gonna drop the hammer! This is going to be good! Byron looks at me and I said my Queen is your questionerâ¦you will answer to her!
And he began to spin his tale..â Those alphas have you fooledâ¦we have all been in discussions for weeks regarding that land! The whole school thing happened on the way here! They used me to get an audience with the Kingâ¦knowing we are related.â Arabella says âwell thatâs a crock of shit! And thatâs one! I allow three chances. Thatâs all..no more..no lessâ¦before I beat a body down..so bear in mind..That is One! You may continue
And so he didâ¦âIâm not sure what is expected of me. What do you want me to say? Those two decided on a school and Sebastian agreed. My business here is doneâ And she looked at him with cold eyes and said âNot quite. Placed in front of you..under the edge of the table..is a listening device..a Bugâ¦if you willâ¦placed there by you..less than 15 minutes ago. Now why would you need to hear what we say in your absence? What could we possibly discuss that would be of interest to you. After allâ¦we are âfamilyâ, are we not? I have decidedâ¦you need to think long and hard before we hear your answers to this. So you will enjoy a couple days of our hospitable accommodations in the cells.. Say hi to Celia for meâ and she smiled her wicked smile, as guards came in to lead him away.
We all busted out laughing and Callista says âDamn girl! You had me ready to spill all my grandmaâs secret family recipes!â And we all laughed harder! Thatâs my girl!
We head to dinner and it was a light hearted, enjoyable evening! We let our wolves out to run and hunt. Keeping them cooped up makes them antsy and they need time together like we do! Amaris is playful and funâ¦but sheâs exhausting. I allowed her to romp and run.. nip and chase.. her personality is just like Arabellaâs and she is a joy! A little hardheaded and I had to have her submit before she allowed Arabella in control. She finally didâ¦and we headed to bed!
I open my eyes to singing. My love is in the shower! Donât have to ask me twice!!! I move in behind her and run my hands up her body..cupping her breasts. Her hands follow along..cupping my hands around them. I growled outâ¦Iâm not going to be easyâ¦I donât want gentle! And she said two words that had me driving my cock into her dripping pussy..she whispered âtake meââ¦.and take her I did! I drove into her and she arched her back..spreading her legs wider. I reached down and spread her folds enough to expose her clit. I flicked it back and forth hardâ¦.fasterâ¦keeping rhythm with every thrust of my hips. She screamed out my nameâ¦saying âPlease!! Iâm cummingâ and I followed her over the edge. Best. Wake. Up. Call. Ever!!
We all decided to move to the study today to go over what we have learned. And to put Ezekielâs packhouse up on the big screen TV to watch what happens when he learns Byron is missing. I asked Brayden about the trackers..had they found anything.. and he said they actually found quite a bit. They found a scent and tracked it in almost a complete circle. They found a man at the Wolfâs Denâ¦having a drink, like he was waiting for them. They brought him in and he is waiting to speak with you. He is asking for asylum. Arabella said âAsylum? For murdering a child? Iâmma struggle with this one, baby! I will try and keep my mouth shut..but I canât guarantee itâ and we laughed. Because we all knowâ¦if she has something to sayâ¦sheâs gonna say it! I signaled to bring the man in.
He came in and bowed. He took a knee at the foot of my mate.. he spoke softly and succinctly âI am a dedicated servant to my Kingâ¦and to the Moon Goddess. I throw myself on your mercy, until you hear my tale..if you want my head at the end of it, I will gladly offer it to youâ and he rose to sit in his indicated chair..and I hear my mate mutter âWell Fuck! I wanted to hate himâ and I chuckled. I turned to look at the man. He doesnât have the scent of a rogue. I know he is wolf..but I canât discern a pack. I said âplease tell us your storyâ and he nodded, then began to speak
âMy name is Earl Simmonsâ¦I am a lone wolf..by choice. I wasnât banished or abandoned by my pack.. my mate was killed in a rogue attack while I was in Afghanistanâ¦serving in the human army. I just felt I had nothing left to come home to. I am ex-military. I have taken jobs as a mercenary from time to timeâ¦mostly risky rescue missions..things of that nature. I am running low on funds..so when word trickled down the grapevine about some high blood Alphas looking to hire mercs⦠I decided to hear them out. Two alphas are wanting to stage a coupâ¦and that coup involves the assassination of the royal pair. I have never renounced my allegiance to the crown. I believe you are a good kingâ¦fair and justâ¦I also believe you are a monarch of the people. So my plan was to take the job..and glean any information I could and somehow pass it on to your people. What I didnât know wasâ¦there would be an initiation fee⦠nor did I know that what I would be forced to do would leave an indelibly black mark on my soul. In order to be hired, I had to prove my loyalty. I was ordered to kill a border wolf of the kingdomâ¦and I was sent to do it with three other wolves as witnesses. But Iâm in. I passed the test. My proposal to you is you establish a mindlink with me and I can keep you informed of movements as they are happening⦠My Queenâ¦all I ask is you allow me to complete this taskâ¦do my part in quelling this rebellion..before you execute meâ
Arabella looked at me.. back at Earlâ¦and back to me. She said âI donât want to execute you. I can feel the pain and remorse in your heart. You are risking your life by spying for this kingdom..and you have my blessing â I smiled and said spoken like a true Queen. Then I looked at Earl and said âI canât swear you into the pack yetâ¦if thatâs even something you would wantâ¦we donât want your scent to give you away.. so allow me to shake your hand and I will be able to establish a link. If you take my handâ¦know that I will know if you betray me.â
He reached his hand out to me and I took itâ¦a link snapped into placeâ¦then Arabella held her hand out to him, and he took it. His face registered his shock when he felt her link connect. She grinned and said âinsurance â and we all laughed.
