***Jackson's POV***

I woke up to my sweet mate. She was sleeping soundly beside me. Her hair was all mussed and a little bit of drool was gracing the corner of her lips.

I stroked the side of her face with my forefinger, from her temple, down her jaw and to her chin. She had a beautiful face. I could get lost looking at her.

"That's creepy." Claire accused.

"I'm just admiring my mate" I defended.

"Well, do you like what you see?" She smirked.

"Well, yes, yes I do." I smiled.

"Good!" She jumped up and landed in my lap, pecking my lips.

I should be getting ready for the day. But, a few minutes won't hurt.

I placed both hands on the side of her face and pulled her in for a kiss. I claimed her lips in an open mouth assault. I was greedily stealing her breath.

A small moan escaped the back of her throat, I lapped it up with my tongue, swallowing it. I continued to savagely brutalize her perfect pink pout with no regard for air.

I needed to stop, my cock was saluting her.

"Baby, we gotta stop." I announced while pulling away from her sinful mouth.

"I don't wanna" she whimpered.

I shrugged my shoulders and went in for more kissing.

When I came up for air the next time, Claire just slid down my jaw line, greedily biting and licking my neck. She hit the spot where she would mark me and flames ignited like a kerosene fire.

Claire was rocking against my lap and my hands were holding her hips in place.

If she didn't stop, I was gonna ravage her.

I was panting as she attacked my throat. A low growl was rumbling in my chest.

I flipped us over and started grinding slowly into her center.

"God, Jackson, yes" Clair breathed in a husky whisper of lust.

I wasn't sure if I was ready to claim her body. But, Viribus had no doubts.

"Want Mate, Need Mate." Viribus begged.

"I'm trying to go slow." I explained.

"Fine, slowly fuck mate" he jeered.

I really couldn't think of a good reason not to give in.

I slipped my thumb into the waist band of Claire's silky black panties and snapped it hard against her hips.

"Mmmmm" she moaned.

I'm fucking done!

My body was betraying me. I couldn't think straight, I needed to please her.

"Please Jackson, please I want you." She begged.

I ripped her panties straight off her body with a snatch of my claws.

I kissed down her neck, licking, biting and nipping with my teeth.

She started squirming beneath me and wrapped her legs around my hips.

One of my hands gripped her thigh and the other pulled her hair back at the nape of her neck.

She purred in pleasure with my aggressiveness.

I kissed down her chest and trapped one of her perky nipples between my teeth. I gently stroked my tongue across the tip as I nibbled the stem.

She tasted amazing.

When I continued with the other breast she arched her back, pressing her breast against my face.

I released her nipple licking and sucking down her stomach. When I got to the crease above her flower, I smelled her sweet arousal.

I threw her legs over my shoulders and softly licked her down the crease of her thighs, nibbling as I moved my way up.

She shivered with each lick.

Her hands knotted in my hair and held my face into her center.

I sucked a trail from her hood to her bottom and drug my nose thru her folds before following it with my tongue.

She ground her pussy into my face.

I licked deeply into her opening, my lips encompassing her lips. Her sweet juices trickling onto my tastebuds.

Her back arched and my body started craving more. Hungrily I devoured her tight pussy, leaving no flesh untouched.

She was a moaning, writhing mess. When I felt her ready to climax I slipped a finger into her pussy as I nipped at her clit. After one finger I slipped in a second and her thighs gripped my head.

I plunged my fingers in and out of her. She bucked against the pressure.

I flipped us over and she landed hard against my mouth. She sat up on her knees as she rode my mouth like a rodeo queen.

I slapped her ass, hard as fuck and she released her orgasm directly into my throat. I slurped and swallowed as I drown in her arousal.

She was fucking divine.

She lifted off my face and came down to kiss me, no doubt tasting herself upon my lips.

"So good." She sighed.

"We done?" I asked with a small smile.

"Not even close." She moaned.

I stood from the bed, hooked her knees over my forearms and pulled her ass to the edge. Bending down slightly, I lined my throbbing dick up with her center.

She threw her head back and I slammed my thick member into her pulsing core.

She gasped in pain, but I stroked slowly to bring on the pleasure.

"Harder" she screamed.

Don't have to tell me twice.

I pounded her fucking pussy. I was power driving my steel pole straight into her back. When she was about to cum again, I leaned down and kissed her neck.

I licked the juncture between her throat and collarbone while stroking inside of her. My canines protracted and I sunk them into her soft flesh, claiming Clarissa as mine. I licked my mark, sealing it on her neck for eternity.

She moaned loudly and I continued to fuck her senseless.

I felt my own orgasm building and pulled her close, bending my neck to her mouth. She kissed my sweet spot and sunk her teeth in. She sealed it with a lick and a kiss. We were one.

The uncontrollable waves of pleasure raked thru me and I pulled my dick out and came on her chest.

I pulled her into my embrace and walked her to the shower.

I cleaned my mate. Washing her body sensually, kissing her mark and holding her in my embrace. Never had I felt so complete.

We got out of the shower and started, finally, getting ready for the day.

"Baby" she crooned.

"Yes my love" I answered.

"What will you be doing today?" She asked.

"Beta duties, why?" I questioned.

"Does that mean I'm stuck with Aubrey all day?" She whined.

What the actual fuck?

"You can do whatever you want." I hissed.

The euphoria had escaped and now I just felt pissed.

"I don't want to be around her!" She barked.

"What is your problem?" I yelled.

"Nothing!" She hammered before stomping her feet and crossing her arms over her chest.

"Oh, it's something!" I deadpanned.

"Fine!" She screamed. "Ughhh."

"Clarissa, fucking explain, because right now I am seething." I warned.

"I don't like her!" She glared.

"Sucks for you!" I jeered.

"I'm your Mate!" She howled in anger.

"Yes, and Aubrey is our Luna." I stated.

"What's your point?" I questioned.

"You will choose me over her." She demanded.

"Not today!" I corrected.

"You give me one good reason why you don't like her. You have one fucking minute to choose." I ordered.

"She's FAKE." She smirked.

"Excuse me." I said with a lace of venom.

"You heard me." She quipped.

"Explain. Right. Fucking. NOW." I roared.

I swear to the heavens, I'm about to lose my shit.

"She pretends to love everyone. Always being nice. No one is THAT nice, Jackson. No one!" She argued.

"You don't even know her" I stated incredulously.

"Yeah I do. She's spoiled. She has everything she could want and she just throws it in my face. She acts like she's perfect. She is rotten. How good it must feel to have the world fall at your feet! How nice it must be to never have to work for anything! What a grand life to be the center of everyone's world." Clarissa ground out with her arms flailing in front of her.

"You know NOTHING" I spit.

"You're blinded by her beauty." She sneered.

"Clarissa, I will only tell you this once. So you better fucking listen. You know nothing. Aubrey has been beaten, molested, raped, rejected. She has fought her entire life against other's demons. She lost her grandma, her mom and her only child in the last fucking year. You do not know that of which you argue." I explained.

"I don't believe you. She lied. She tells those stories to get attention. And, it works. You all fell for it." She claimed.

"GET OUT!" Viribus roared.

"LEAVE, NOW!"

"GET. THE. FUCK. OUT. OF THIS HOUSE AND DO. NOT. COME. BACK. UNTIL YOU CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO BE A GODDAMNED PERSON."

Clarissa looked at me with bile in her throat. If looks could kill, call the coroner.

I couldn't look at her another minute. My heart was aching. I needed to leave the room.

As I walked to the door, I realized it was not closed shut.

I slammed it open further and ran out of the house shifting into my wolf.

***Clarissa's POV***

I grabbed my shit and I bolted out the bedroom door.

While heading down the hall I saw Aubrey standing looking over the balcony railing.

Silent.

I was so fucking mad.

"Clarissa" Aubrey turned to me.

"Don't" I screamed.

I ran out of the house. I got in my car and I headed home.

***Darius POV***

I was in an early morning meeting. We were discussing a few packs who were restructuring their members.

Jackson mind linked me.

"Alpha you need to check on Aubrey." Jackson ordered.

"Send Bryan. Ethan and I are in a meeting across town." I replied.

"Get home!" He suggested.

"Why, what's wrong?" I asked nervously.

"Aubrey heard me and Clarissa arguing." Jackson admitted.

"Get Bryan." I demanded.

"I will be right home, let me close this meeting." I clarified.

"Yes Alpha. I'm sorry." Jackson whined.

"Don't worry about it." I comforted him.

A fullness filled my chest, it was aching. My heart was constricting slowly and I felt like I couldn't catch my breath. Aubrey was obviously upset.

"I apologize, I have to cut this meeting short. We will reconvene at a time convenient to all of you. I deeply apologize. I'm so sorry." I announced.

"What's wrong , King?" One of the Alphas asked.

"My mate needs me. Please understand." I whispered.

"Go. We will reschedule. Go to your mate." He ordered.

"Thank you." I stated.

***Bryan's POV***

Jackson mind linked me to go find Aubrey.

Clarissa and Jackson had been arguing and Aubrey had over heard.

What the fuck?

I was headed to the office at the pack house. I turned and ran to the castle to locate Aubrey.

"Aubrey?" I yelled thru the castle.

No reply.

"Aubrey, where are you?" I yelled louder.

Silence.

I ripped thru doors of the castle trying to locate the Luna.

I couldn't find her.

I mind linked Alpha.

"Alpha, I'm at the castle. She isn't here." I announced.

"Search the grounds" Darius ordered.

I shifted into my wolf, sniffing for Aubrey's scent.

She wasn't on the grounds. Her scent was no where.

"How long before you get here, Alpha?" I questioned.

"A few more minutes, maybe ten." Darius replied.

"She isn't in the territory." I confirmed.

"Send out the trackers please." He requested.

"Get Jackson and drive around til you find her. Please Bryan." He begged.

"Yes, Sir." I agreed.

"Jackson, we gotta go. Aubrey left the territory." I ordered.

"On my way." He growled.

It felt like time stood still. Jackson took just one minute to reach me.

That was the longest minute of my life.

We jumped in my Ford GT and fled the territory in search for our Queen.
