Alpha Rhys POV
Fuck!
Really?
This is the worst fucking thing that could have happened!
I finally meet my fated mate after 29 years of waiting and it's a day after I've marked, mated and announce Madison as my Luna?!
Not to mention, my mate is drop dead fucking gorgeous!
When I first seen her come into the kitchen, I couldn't contain Magnus. He wanted her, wanted her right then and there. To mark her, to claim her, to let everyone know she was ours and I would be lying if I said I didn't want her right then and there too.
Her chocolate skin, her jet black hair with those beautiful loose curls she had, that gray floor length dress and black heels. Her toes were beautifully done. Her pink lips were so kissable. Oh my fuck.. and her eyes! Those Steele gray eyes of hers could pierce my damn soul. Her curved full eyelashes and button nose. Her eyebrows were perfectly groomed. She smelled like cinnamon and trust me when I say, I did not miss that body! Her womanly curves, she didn't have big boobs, but her hips were amazing. She had pup bearing hips thats for sure and that booty!
I could see it from the front. How does that even work man? Ugh I'm such an ass man! She was breathtaking. I even heard Mateo, Jett and Alpha Kano singing her praises under their breath. She was different, everything about her was.
That attitude she had too! Phew! She never once backed down from me. Even when I pushed out some of my aura on her, she didn't falter, stumble, nothing. Her little eye roll was sexy as hell.
Now that's a woman!
That's a Luna!
And yet I have this leech on my arm. The complete opposite of my little mate and by little, I mean little. Kaori had to be nomore than 5'2 without those heels on. She's what I would call "fun size". My 6'2 frame towered over her.
Madison looked so dull next to Kaori and I'm the idiot that's stuck with her. I thought I didn't want a Luna, but man would I change my mind for a woman like my little mate. Her aura was dangerous, I could feel it, she matched me. Completely designed for me.
This is what everyone tells you when they say the Moon Goddess doesn't make mistakes! She pairs you with what she knows you need! Since birth, Kaori was mine and I was hers!
I could feel that Magnus had a bond with her wolf already. It wasn't as strong as it could be, but it would be once we mark her.
Phew.. the night I mark her would be something! To see her beautiful chocolate skin glistening in the moon light as she called my name. Her Steele gray eyes staring into mine as I tasted her.
Damn it! Now I'm hard..
"Alpha Rhys?" I heard the same voice that plagued my life. Turning my gaze to Alpha Kano, I seen the smile on his face and wanted to slap it right off.
"Yes Alpha Kano."
"It seems that you've found your mate. Congratulations." Madison shot her eyes to mine after that.
"Wait what? Who?"
"That delicious little shewolf, Kaori Norwood, Beta Myles and his mate Ava's daughter."
"Delicious?" Magnus growled quietly at his sudden interest in our mate. I'm sure everyone at this table could feel his fire.
I glared at him in disbelief, more anger than anything. I couldn't challenge him. I'm dumb enough to say I could kick his ass, but he would see how his little comment about my mate irritated the fuck out of me.
"I meant no disrespect to your mate Alpha Rhys.. just paying a compliment where it's due. She's exquisite." He said raising his glass in the air then taking a sip.
"She's absolutely beautiful. Definitely a breath of fresh air from what I'm used to.. Nothing would have to be forced with a woman like that." I made sure to hit home with my words. I needed him and my father to know how fucked they made this for me.
How the hell could I get Kaori to accept me and let me mark her when she knows who Madison is to me. Ugh!
"It seems we have a serious dilemma here." Myles, Kaori's father spoke up this time.
"Agreed. I don't think Kaori would want to go with you Alpha Rhys. Considering what your situation is." Alpha Bryson then spoke.
"So what should we do? I'm not going to force my sister to go with you back to your pack." Beta Ethan then spoke. I laughed at that, who the hell did he and Alpha Bryson think they were? They can't tell me what I'm going to do, they definitely can't tell me what's going to happen with my mate. Legally I'm entitled to take her with me, whether any of them like it or not.
"I don't believe I have to ask any of your permission about this. Kaori is my mate, so she's coming with me." I was clear about that.
"And if she doesn't want to?" Ava, her mother asked..
"Legally she doesn't have a choice. You know that Ava.. Alpha Rhys is within the law to bring her to his pack, no matter the circumstance." Alpha Kano explained, I was grateful to him for that but I also hated his guts for putting me in this shit.
"With all due respect Alpha Kano, Alpha Rhys has taken a mate, marked her and I'm sure has announced her as Luna of their pack. Where would that leave my daughter? You expect me to subject her to that kind of emotional and mental abuse? Not to mention physical. Now that they know they're mates, she would be in a great deal of pain anytime Alpha Rhys and Luna Madison mated. Do you really expect that of her? She may not be the easiest woman to deal with, but she has a heart and I would hate for her to have to watch their union and be denied of the love that she also is within her legal rights to bare." Myles spoke again.
I had to commend her father. He was a fighter, he didn't back down from Alpha Kano or myself. He seemed like a father first who truly cared about his daughter. He's not wrong, Kaori would be in pain I'd I ever trained or bong by sleeping with Madison again. I could also agree with the fact that she would be subjected to emotional abuse seeing Madison parade her stank ass around on my arm, around my pack that's rightfully hers. I couldn't subject her to that, but I also can't live without her. Now that I've met her, the pull of the bond is already happening. It's strong. I don't want anything more than to find her and love her. I didn't it would be this intense.
My body was still reacting to Madison because I marked her, but the pull I had to Kaori was stronger than that. I guess that has to do with the fact that she's my mate, fated to me, destined to be mine.
As much as I don't owe these Red Stone wolves shit, I had to reassure her father that nothing would happen to Kaori in my pack. She was safe with me and if Madison even thought about laying a finger on her or being disrespectful in anyway, I would ring her ass. No problem.
Right now, my body belongs to Madison because of this stupid bond, but my heart and my mind scream nothing but love for Kaori. I want her, I don't want Madison.
"Beta Myles, please let me reassure you that my mate is safe with me. She won't be in any danger, nor would any emotional, mental or physical harm come to her. The union I have with Madison was forced upon me, if I had come to your pack a day earlier, Madison would seize to exist in my world. The only woman I want is Kaori."
"Rhys!" Madison screamed, slamming her fist on the table. I turned to look at her.
"Madison, surely you didn't think I would try to make this work did you? You're not my fated mate nor are you my packs rightful Luna."
"I may not be the rightful Luna, but I am the Luna in the laws eyes and I'm your mate now, bound to you forever and always." She said reaching down and grabbing my thigh. My dick instantly got hard. Fucking traitor!
I huffed out of frustration, I hated how much my body reacted to her. The smirk on her face told it all. She knew.
"See you do want me. Why do you keep trying to deny our connection Rhys?" Her hand slid further up my thigh until she was damn near touching the tip.
"No Madison. I don't want you, I want to fuck you. There's a difference! I want Kaori, not just her body and not because some forced bond tells me so!" I growled at her, shoving her hand off me.
Come on dick! Go down shit! You had no problem going limp when I was trying to whack off in the shower this morning, but as soon as Madison touches us.. Here you are! All ready to go!
As soon as I felt myself somewhat calming down in the crotch region, I turned to look at Madison again. Ugh she's so.. Ugh!
"Whether you like it or not love, I'm here with you and we're mated, you can't just bring your fated mate into our home and think I'm going to be ok with that."
Oh really? Now she think she can tell what to do? That's hilarious! I must have given her the wrong impression of me.
"I can always reject you Madison! I've found my true mate now! I don't have to be forced to continue this union!" I roared then shoving out as much as my aura as I could, Madison sat back into her chair immediately. I just turned my nose up at her weakness. I'm sure Kaori wouldn't bend to my will so easily.
"Alpha Rhys, that may be true, but unless Luna Madison accepts your rejection, the bond would still hold some effect and neither of you would be able to mark another." Alpha Kano explained again. I scoffed at the realization. He's right.
I can't mark my sexy little mate with Madison still in the damn picture! I need to reject her and she has to accept it. This blows!
"Also, Madison is your Luna now. If you wanted Kaori to be your mate, marked and bound to you, Madison would have to accept your rejection, then Kaori would have to challenge her for the Luna position. If Kaori chooses not to challenge her, Madison would remain your Luna."
Oh you've got to be kidding me!
I could just see the victorious smile on Madison's face right now.
So not only do I have this delicious little mate who's all mine, but I can't actually mark her because I'm bound to Madison. I can't reject Madison and mark Kaori unless Madison accepts the rejection and Kaori wouldn't be my packs Luna unless she challenged Madison for the position.
All of which I'm sure she wouldn't be fucking doing! Watching her earlier, she held no emotion. I couldn't sense anything from her. Surely she would be pissed off about all of this, but she gave me nothing. Nothing!
I would have to talk to her about all of this.
"Now when it comes to your bond, Gamma Jett." I heard Alpha Kano again and I pulled myself from my damned thoughts to pay attention again.
"I know that Preston of the Red Stone pack is your mate. We all seen your reaction and you know the law, I won't allow same sex bonds. It's just unethical and you can not ensure the continuance of your bloodline that way. I would fully expect your bond to be rejected by the end of the week. Thats as long as I will give you."
I looked at Jett then and he had tears in his eyes. His head was down, his breathing was ragged. This was just another kick in his chest. He already lost his first mate before he even knew his name, but now he has a second chance at his fated mate and he's being told that can't happen either. Such bullshit.
"Don't worry about it Jett. He would never know if you mark him where you marked me and Mateo." I said through the link. His eyes widened slightly before I seen him nod in understanding.
If only Alpha Kano knew about the bond Mateo, Jett and I shared. He would flip his shit. Aha! Wait..
Hold it..
I have a mate bond with Mateo and Jett, but Jett also has another bond with Preston and I have another with Kaori.
How the hell would that affect ours with Mateo? How the hell would that affect ours with each other?
If I ever marked Kaori, she would feel my bond with Mateo and Jett for sure. Same with Preston, he would feel Jett's bond with Mateo and myself. Eventually we would all want each other in some way right?
Do Mateo and Jett feel anything for Madison?
Did they feel the bond with Kaori when I did?
Does Madison feel the bond with Mateo and Jett? She hasn't reacted to it yet, but it's still fresh. She would know after some time.. oh shit.
Wait a damn minute!!
A bond with 6 wolves? 4 men and 2 shewolves?
No..
I don't give a damn about Madison and I'm sure my mates wouldn't want her in that way, but what about Kaori? Are they attracted to her? How would that even work? Would I even be able to share her? And with that many guys?
And Preston.. he's like her bestfriend right? It seemed that way. Would he now feel something for her or would that be after Jett marked him and then I marked Kaori?
But he's gay right? He would have to be to be mated to Jett.
Aww shit..
This is totally fucked now..
