With a pissed-off huff, Elijah walked out of the office without saying another word.
Deacon looked at me. “I’m not going to ask you what happened, Elliot. I’ll take your word for it.”
I just nodded at that, because Deacon got it. He didn’t let his sentimentality get in the way of what was best for the pack. That was something Elijah needed to work on, in my opinion.
“Moving on,” Deacon said as he walked over to his leather chair behind the mahogany desk and took a seat. “Selena contacted me about fifteen minutes ago. Wanted to know if they could count on me for the attack.”
“Oh shit, so they really are going to do it. When is it going down?”
“I told her I needed to think about it. She gave me until tomorrow afternoon to make a decision. Of course, I hate when people give me ultimatums, but I’m going to play this one to my benefit.”
“So, you’re just waiting to hear back from Théoden?”
He nodded.
“What if it he doesn’t call you in time?” I asked.
“Then I’ll give them my concerns.”
“They won’t offer you territory.”
“Not theirs, but if we take out Josef’s pack… well, then I’ll gladly take Josef’s territory,” he said. “I’m willing to go with either side that gives me what I want.”
“What if they say that price is too high?”
Deacon shrugged. “Then why bother calling me at all if you didn’t need my help?” He leaned forward, planting his elbows on his desk. “Here’s the thing, they really don’t need me. With their combined packs, they can take Josef out. But they’ve heard about the rumors surrounding Théoden’s alliance with me by now, I’m sure. Josef even blurted it out at one of the meetings, so that shit is on their minds. They want me on their side so that they know where I’m at. If I combine my pack with Josef’s, that’s at least two-thousand wolves strong. They’d take a major hit.”
“Especially with Dante being there. He can contact his vampire family,” I pointed out.
Deacon nodded. “Exactly. Théoden and his sons will be there, and if he could defeat Josef and take over his pack, he’ll definitely level the battlefield when he gets on the scene. We also don’t know how Josef’s pack will be altered once he fully mates with Dante. Nothing like this has ever happened before. I have to choose my side wisely at this point.”
“Fuck,” I grumbled.
I guess this was one of those “shit’s about to get real” situations. Now, we just had to wait to see which side Deacon chose. Whatever happened, I would have his back.
CHAPTER FIVE
THÉODEN
Ienjoyed watching my son fuck his mate in their half beast form. It was something I hadn’t seen in quite some time. Josef was more aggressive in that form, as was Dante, who scratched Josef when the Alpha fucked him a bit too hard. I was getting a kick out of how much Dante hated being dominated by his mate. He had fucked Josef immediately after the second mating took place as if to claim his rightful position in their relationship. The entire pack was either eating dinner or fucking and I was delighting in it all.
Wolves were horny beasts to begin with, but even I could see the subtle changes now that Dante and Josef were progressing in their Claiming Ritual. Each time Josef bit him during their climax, they grew stronger as a couple and the power they shared extended through their pack…my pack. After the first time they fucked, several members of the pack did engage in sex, but not as many as I had expected. But after the second time, it was one big orgy. Those who fucked and got off were currently enjoying a meal while the rest continued to fuck their brains out.
If I was a full-fledged dragon, this little event would have fed me for the whole night. To have the ability to draw on sexual energy to sate one’s hunger was something I envied of pure dragons. I needed physical contact, but that didn’t mean I was complaining. Fucking anyone I choose and feeding on their pleasure was quite delicious and satisfying. If my son, Marco, wasn’t on punishment, I might have indulged.
Speaking of Marco, he just grew even more enraged seeing and smelling all of the sex surrounding him, but not being allowed to partake in any. I hadn’t quite made up my mind if I’d allow my sons to fuck Josef’s wolves. Sure, Ivan has had the pleasure of all of their cocks and cum. And Josef’s pack was now my pack, but I was picky and selfish. I could hear my boys’ thoughts on the wolves, and they were interested. Maybe I’d think about it. Derek and Bruce were fucking each other at the moment.
Derek was taking everything Bruce was giving him. Although, I thought who they really wanted were Jace and Ryan. My boys had grown quite attached to their own sons. Marco slept with his cock firmly planted in Marcus’ ass. Bruce held Ryan so tightly as they slept, it was fortunate that Ryan didn’t need to breathe to survive. Derek and Jace also bundled up in bed, but with Jace holding onto Derek possessively. Donovan, of course, slept freely. Then there was Noel and Romeo. Noel held onto Romeo as if he were afraid to let him go. And lately, upon rising, he couldn’t seem to wait to get his cock inside of him.
All of my sons were doing well and moving forward, which was what I expected. The loss of Ryu hit us hard, but it didn’t slow us down. And I made Josef pay for his offense, and he’d be paying for it for a very long time. I glanced at Marco again. He was standing with his massive muscular and hairy arms crossed over his chest. His thick, fat cock was hard and straining against his leather pants so forcefully, I could see the imprint. This was indeed torture for him. At least his brothers had sympathy for him. Derek and Bruce had wanted to fuck immediately upon arriving, but I think they held back for as long as they could to not hurt Marco’s feelings.
I looked up at the sky, seeing the spectrum of colors bleeding into a dark shade of blue as the sun slowly set over the horizon. It was time for me to make that very important telephone call, but I wanted privacy. I walked over to Josef, who was making out with Dante over his roasted leg of lamb.
“I need someplace soundproof,” I said, interrupting them without a care in the world.
Josef broke his kiss and I could tell by his frown, he didn’t appreciate my intrusion. Of course, I didn’t give a shit.
“My study will suffice,” he said. “Ronald, please escort Prince Théoden to my study.”
