“What about your sons?”
“What about them?”
“They can come out during the day. Why not send them over?”
I smiled because I liked where this was going. “You want me to send my sons to help protect your territory? They already have districts they protect in New Haven. Unless you’re willing to share some of your territory, then I will not be sending my sons to live in Forrest Grove as your security.”
I wasn’t too keen on seeing more of my children leave my nest, but if it was to gain more territory and wolf packs for me, then it was a sacrifice I was willing to make. Now, I was just waiting to see how much this protection meant to Deacon.
“You’re asking me to share my territory with you just to get one of your daywalking sons here? Fuck you, Théoden. You’re already asking more of me than I’ve asked of you. If it wasn’t for me giving you Dante, we wouldn’t be in this situation. The way I see it, you owe me. I’m the one who told you about the attack. Either you send one of your sons to my house to protect me, or I’ll join them if only to protect my pack. Don’t force my hand to do the latter,” Deacon said, giving me an ultimatum.
I had to admit, he was a brilliant negotiator. I could see why he was pack Alpha and still so young. I didn’t like that I needed him, because it put the ball in his court and he knew this. Very well.
“I’ll send Marco, my eldest, to your house. He will live with you until we eliminate the threat to both of our territories. After that, he’ll return to New Haven. In exchange, you and your pack will join Josef’s pack in River Rock and help him defend his territory and protect my resting vampires until sunset. Is that clear?”
“In addition to that, if we take out any of the Alphas, I want their territory.”
“You’ll get half, I get the other, to which Josef’s pack will occupy along with more vampires,” I said.
“As long as they stay on their side, fine.”
“This goes for whatever territory we claim.”
“Fair enough. We have an accord, then.”
“We do. We’ll talk tomorrow.” I ended the conversation because I was pissed I had to relent even a little with this son of a bitch, and the sound of his voice was grating on my nerves. I called another number, one that I hoped wouldn’t give me as much trouble as Deacon had.
“Hello?” Tylendel answered after four rings.
“Old friend, will you be bringing Giorgio to witness the final mating of the Claiming Ritual?”
“We’ll be there in about ten minutes. I wasn’t going to at first but Giorgio really wanted to see his pack and the mating,” Ty said. He did sound slightly agitated and I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. Maybe it was because he had given into the request of someone who was his slave. Perhaps Giorgio was becoming less of a slave to Tylendel and more of a companion. I was sure my old friend was experiencing emotions he wasn’t familiar with.
“I’ll see you when you get here.” I ended the call and sat back to relax in Josef’s leather chair. The wolves were still eating. Needless to say, they had healthy appetites. I was more than anxious to see just what would happen to them the moment the final phase of the Claiming Ritual took root. Just how glorious would my wolves be then?
CHAPTER SIX
VEX
Idrove down the long driveway leading to Josef’s house. Théoden had already made arrangements for me to have my pet, Isiah, turned tonight. I couldn’t wait any longer, I’d already waited long enough. I knew he would have to go through the change and I was going to make sure he survived. And as soon as his transformation was over, I was going to fuck the shit out of him. My cock started to get hard as I drew closer to Josef’s mansion. I was trying to will it down, because I didn’t want to fuck Isiah yet. I wanted his ass nice and tight, so it could fit my dick like a velvet glove.
Isiah, of course, was sitting beside me in the passenger seat, mouth gagged. His broken hand was wrapped up nicely and after tonight, would be a thing of the past. I did have to bind his arms to his sides and his ankles together because he tried to fight me while I was driving on the expressway. When he punched me in my jaw, I swerved, nearly crashing my brand new and very expensive car. That pissed me off… and turned me on. I had to pull over, and when I yanked his ass out of the seat, I wanted to throw him to the ground, snatch his pants down, and plunge my cock inside his tight snatch and pound away until I breeded his ass.
But that would have gone against my plans. Instead, I tied him up good and placed him back inside in the passenger seat. The looks he was giving me were lethal, but I didn’t care. I parked my car and killed the engine.
I looked at Isiah. “You don’t understand why I’m doing this, but once you get over the transformation, it will become clear and I believe you’ll be appreciative. Humans feel like they have to fight back against what you all consider the status quo. In reality, you all want to be a part of it. The poor rage against the rich because they are poor. Do you think those people would turn down the opportunity to become instantly rich if it were given to them?
His nostrils flared at me as his eyes glared away. I reached out, grabbing his chin, and applied a bit of pressure. Just enough to cause some discomfort, but not to injure.
“Answer me, Isiah.”
He shook his head with a dejected frowning of his eyebrows. “Ooo,” he grunted through the black ball gag I had in his mouth.
“No?”
He nodded.
“That’s right. Everyone wants a better life, Isiah, and that’s what I’m offering to you.” I climbed out of the car and walked over to his side, pulling him out as well. I looked up at the darkening sky… it was almost a full moon, which meant it was almost time. I lifted him and tossed him over my shoulder, then made my way toward the front door. I pressed the doorbell and a few minutes later, one of Josef’s wolves answered it.
