Shadows Of The Pack (Aria and Knox)

Chapter Eight: Promise of Chaos

"How hard could it have possibly been to kill her? Aria is one little wolf." Seraphina screamed.

Julian walked up to her, placing a hand on her shoulder, "We will figure it out."

Seraphina shrugged his hand off, "Figure it out? Did you see what she did to me two years ago?

Haven't you heard of the legend of the marked? What happens when her powers fully manifest and she

comes back to claim the pack?"

Julian growled, "I don't care if she is marked or not. The pack is mine and I will kill anyone that stands

in my way."

Sensing that she had angered his wolf, she stroked his back, "I know my love. No one can take that

away from you but still Aria is a threat. I should have slashed her throat and watched her bleed out

when I had the chance."

"That is an awful amount of hate for someone that you share your blood with.", Nikolai said as he

walked into the room.

The lone wolf bowed, "Alpha Nikolai."

With one look in his direction Nikolai dismissed him.

"We are not done with this conversation Eli." Seraphina told him as he walked out.

The air in the room shifted as Nikolai settled.

Nikolai sat down exuding darkness and power.

His eyes gleamed with malevolence. His presence alone seemed to cast a shadow over the room.

Julian frowned at him, "Nikolai, we were having a private conversation."

Nikolai's lips turned up, "My apologies. But when you sent a message requesting that we align our

packs, I just thought you would want me around."

Julian smiled hiding his irritation, "Of course you are always welcome."

Nikolai transferred his focus, his dark eyes landing on Seraphina, "Why do you hold so much hatred for

your sister?"

Seraphina folded her arm with a glare, "Aria is not my sister. She is a leach that I should have gotten

rid of a long time ago."

He studied her for a minute, "You are a submissive wolf?"

Seraphina's glare intensified, "And so?"

Nikolai smiled, "Nothing."

Julian cleared his throat, "Nikola, is there anything you needed?"

"Actually yes." He leaned back in his chair, "The Nightshade territory. I am still Knox's Alpha since he

refused to fight many years ago which means that his territory belongs to me and you still haven't given

me an answer."

"It's been years since Knox left the Bloodmoon pack why are you making a claim for the land now?"

"I don't see how that is any of your concerns Seraphina and this is Alpha's business. Why don't you find

something else to do like file your claws."

Seraphina's eyes darkened as her wolf lunged to the surface.

Nikolai stood up, his Alpha vibes coming out of him in waves. She took a step backwards as her eyes

returned to normal.

Julian turned to Seraphina, "My love, why don't you give us a minute? I'll be right with you."

Seraphina glanced between the two of them before kissing her teeth and stomping out.

"She is so weak yet you plan to share your power with her?"

"It's complicated. But she has a point. Why now?"

Nikolai sat back down, "I have my reasons and they are all personal but if I am going to attack the

Nightshade territory, I will need your wolves."

Julian nodded, "The Nightshade territory will be the first of many."

Rebecca ran her lips round Nikolai's body, her hands trailing down.

She brought her lips to his ear, "Things are going to according to plan." Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

He grabbed her neck pulling her closer to him.

"After."

He flipped her around, arching her back, he pulled her hair roughly and then he entered her in one hard

thrust.

"Fuck."

Nikolai drew his hips backwards before slamming back inside her.

He gripped her hair tighter, pulling her forward, "Did he fuck you as good as I do?"

He slammed again, "No. God. Please. Nikolai."

"Please what?"

"Please fuck me."

He released her hair and then he pounded into her. The sound of their fucking filled the air.

"You like the way I fuck you don't you?"

She moaned.

"Say it. Tell the whole of the Silvercrest pack just how much you like it."

He increased the pace fucking her harder until the bed shook on its hinges.

"Fuck Nikolai. I'm going to come."

He wrapped his hand around her neck, slamming his dick into her, "Don't come until I say you can."

"Please", Rebecca begged as the orgasm threatened to tear her apart.

His thrust became sloppy and one final thrust, he groaned, "Come."

The orgasm rippled through her as she exploded screaming his name.

Nikolai ran a hand over her tummy as they lay in bed recovering. She smiled at him, "You are going to

multiply the pups I am already carrying if you keep fucking me like that."

She turned serious, pushing herself to a sitting position, "We need to talk about Knox."

His wolf growled at the mention of the name.

He sat up too, "Julian has agreed to stand by me in the attack."

"He must have gotten the news by now. Why hasn't he reached out?"

"I don't know but I know he won't give up the territory so easily." He paused, "You will have to face him

soon. Are you ready?"

Rebecca turned her head, kissing him, she lined his length with her entrance, "Fuck me again let me

show you how ready I am."

****************

Aria sat quietly at the back of the car as Ryder drove her and Knox to the Moonlight territory.

Wolves preferred to move around in their wolf form so cars were uncommon among them.

Only a few wolves kept the engine with wheels for their means of transportation.

Knox apparently was one of them.

"Have you met the Alpha of the Moonlight pack prior to this?"

Aria snapped out of her thoughts, "I've not. I have only heard of him."

Ryder took a turn, "I don't involve myself with the business of other packs but I heard your father

named you his heir so weren't you supposed to be conversant with the Alphas of other packs?"

Aria blew out a breath, "I never wanted to be Alpha. I dreaded the day it would happen but I couldn't let

my father down. When I got mated to Liam."

Knox's wolf growled.

"I planned to share my power so he would handle most of the politics and I would focus on taking care

of the pack. But Seraphina." She stopped first taking a breath, "Seraphina always takes until there is

nothing left for me."

Aria didn't know why she shared. These two wolves couldn't be more unfamiliar but Ryder had saved

her life one too many times and her wolf paced continuously in her head, calling out to her mate.

Perhaps Aria would have answered the call if she understood how it was possible.

Ryder brought her back to reality when he announced that they had arrived at the Moonlight pack.

The pack ground was unlike anything she had seen before.

The vast expanse was a symphony of lush scenery and different sculptures of glass intricately

designed stood at different positions as the rays of sun reflected upon them scattering its rays in a

kaleidoscope of colors. It was beautiful and one thing was certain by the energy that hit her once she

entered the pack house, these wolves were a family.

Alpha Randy cleaned his clay covered hand on his apron at the news of their arrival.

He greeted them with a smile, "My apologies. I didn't know you would arrive so soon."

He turned to the woman that stood in the corner of the room placing the molded pottery to dry, his smile

deepening just by looking at her, "I can never say no to Lilian."

Aria felt a pain in her chest. That was what she always wanted.

You didn't need a soothsayer to tell you they were mates but also mates in love.

A young man came into the room. His land landed on Aria. His head was shaved, the buzz cut giving

him the look of a soldier, his hazel eyes flickered in recognition and then a smile grazed his face.

Alpha Randy turned to Aria, "You might not remember, this is Jacob my son.You two used to be

inseparable when you were little. You were so little the last time I saw you."

He was right. She had no clue of them yet her wolf relaxed in their presence, a sense of familiarity

washing over her.

She gave him a small smile before she was pulled into a hug by Alpha Randy, "I'm so sorry about

Gabriel. He was one of the good wolves."

Aria was trying so hard not to think of it. Think of the fact that she would never see her father again.

Being here now just reminded her of how much she would miss him.

Knox's wolf stood ready to attack. It didn't like any wolf touching what belonged to him. Alpha Randy

released her and he relaxed.

"Thank you."

Just then Lilian walked in their direction. She walked to her mate with a frown, "I can't even trust you to

welcome our guests."

She placed her hand on her hips, "Men will be men. Welcome to our pack. I'm so sorry my mate has

kept you standing."

She led them inside the pack house, scolding Alpha Randy and Jacob but they only smiled.

Love. This is how love is supposed to be.

Alpha Randy turned serious as they took their seats and Jacob stood beside him, his hand crossed at

his back, "Why don't get down to business?"

****************

Liam kicked the door to Seraphina's room open. "Seraphina, what is the meaning of this?"

He waved the invitation in the air.

Seraphina stopped filing her claw, throwing him a brief glance before returning her focus to her claws.

He walked towards her, "Seraphina didn't you hear me? Why is there an invitation going round inviting

pack members to the mating ceremony of you to my father."

Seraphina kissed her teeth in anger, "I don't know how I managed to put up with you so long when you

can hardly comprehend."

Liam frowned.

"You are so dumb Liam. An easy catch. Too easy. All I needed to do was let you fuck me a few times

and you were a goner. Wasted minutes of my life if you ask me."

Liam blinked in confusion, "I don't understand."

"Exactly my point Liam. You. Are. Dumb."

She sighed, "Why don't I just put you out of your misery and explain it to you. You were just a pawn

your father and I needed to move around to get what we really wanted. You made it easy though.

Julian and I have been fucking. He loves me and I love him."

"But-"

"But nothing. You were so eager to stick your dick in me. The idea of fucking two sisters just thrilled you

didn't it? But I guess I was the better fuck since in two next two seconds you left Aria without another

thought."

"You said you loved me." Pain creeped into his voice.

She laughed maliciously, "Just like you said you loved Aria? Spare me please. Julian and I are to be

mated. He will claim me right in the same spot you did. At least I don't have to look at that irritating

mark in the next few days."

"That's not how things work. You are testing the moon goddess."

Seraphina's eyes flashed wolf, "I don't care about the moon goddess. I make my own rules. Julian will

be Alpha and he will share his power with me."

"I swear you are going to pay for this Seraphina." Liam said as he took a step towards her.

Julian stepped into the room, "Take one more step in her direction and I will slit your throat right here."

Liam turned to his father. The hate and betrayal apparent in his eyes, "I am your son."

Julian scoffed, "You are a disappointment that's what you are. It was a miracle that you were mates

with someone as powerful as Aria. You are a weak wolf, even Gabriel knew that. He was never going

to make you Alpha after Aria left."

Liam's wolf lunged to the surface, thirsty for blood.

He ran at his father. In one swift move, Julian avoided the attack and plunged his hand son's chest.

Wrapping his hand around his claws, he squeezed.

"I am only sparing you this time because I am somewhat responsible for your existence. Next time you

won't be so lucky."

He removed his hand as Liam fell to the floor, gasping.

Julian walked over him towards Seraphina.

He ripped off her dress, grabbing her breast with his bloodied hand.

He was about to bend her over when he noticed the frown on her face, "What's wrong my love?"

Seraphina tried to focus her anger and not moan as he played with one of her nipples, "You called Aria

powerful."

Julian smiled, "She is but it won't last for long."

He revealed a vile-looking artifact, pulsating with dark energy. "This is the Shadowbane Crystal. When

combined with Aria's mark, it will corrupt the mark, amplifying the darkness and driving her to madness

and destruction. Wolves would have no choice but to kill your sister."
