Chapter 64

###Warning, Sexual Content and language###

Mr. and Mrs. Mathews just found out about the death of their daughter. They were not mourning as normal parents would; they were pissed. They were not livid because of the way she died. They were pissed because she was the last chance they had to gain power over Pride.
Furthermore, the Bennets no longer speak to them, whatever that nasty brat of theirs told them. Made them shun them in the Pride. They will have to leave Pride by morning or pay restitution for their daughter’s actions.
They tried to take up a petition with the King until they found out that the King was witness to the whole thing.
They were about to leave their house when a loud knock came from the door. They both looked at each other, wondering if they should open it. Perhaps it was one of their friends who had a change of heart.
When they opened the door, Archer stood with all the pride elders.
"May we come inside?"
Mr. Mathews was at a loss for words; he motioned for them all to enter. The elders didn't waste any time.
"Mr. and Mrs. Mathews, you were already informed of the death of your daughter; information has also come to us that you have been trying to whore out your daughter for years. To gain higher standing and eventually take power over the Pride."
"This kind of behavior, as you both know, is not tolerated in this Pride."
"We have found evidence that once your daughter was married to one of the three heirs, you and your wife would slowly kill off the high family, thus making yours the only blood left."
"You know the rules; if you wish to challenge the king of the pride, you do so directly. You don't plot behind the backs of others. This, as you know, is considered an act of treason; this crime carries the death penalty."
"What do you have to say for yourselves?"
Mr.Mathews was turning a deep shade of red; he was pissed. Either because he was caught or because he thinks he is above the Pride laws of the Pride.
"You have got to be kidding; we are your parents’ friends. Felicia loved you, that was all, perhaps she was a bit misguided, but she was young."
"Whatever she said or did, was because she was in love with you. You are the one who should be on trial; you’re the criminal; you killed her without cause. I demand that you step down as our Prides King!!"
"Oh, really, Mr. Mathews, and who should take my place.?"
"It should be given to our family; it is time for some new blood; the Bennet family has had too much power; they step down and let the Mathews family take over."
Archer gave Mr. Mathews a dark look. One of a predator stalking its next meal. This visibly shook Mr. Mathews.
"Are you asking for the leadership challenge, Mr. Mathews?"
"No..there would be no way I could beat you in hand-to-hand combat until death."
"So instead, you decide to use your daughter to seduce me; when that didn't work, you went on to my brothers. When that didn't work, you wouldn't let up; you just kept pushing her repeatedly till she finally snapped."
Archer motioned for one of the elders to bring a laptop to the table.
"Let’s watch a little movie, shall we."
When it was all done, Mr. Mathews was visibly about to pass out; Mrs. Mathews just cried in the corner. Neither was willing to talk anymore after watching footage of their daughter and footage of them talking to other pack members about a power grab.
The 'Movie' had excellent video and sound. Nothing was left to speculation.
Mr.and Mrs. Mathews, you will have a public trial and sentencing. I will let the elders decide your fate. I am too angry to do so. If I did it, you would already be dead.
With that, the Warriors came in and took them away to their Pride dungeon, where they were to await their trial.

Adira was watching her handsome mate hold his pup. At this moment, she realized that she no longer was The Spare. She didn't feel like she did before. She was a confident, kind, and she hoped, generous Luna.
Those days alone, they are always hiding, never able to make friends or even talk to anyone, and no more waiting in pain, alone in the dark of the night, for the next day to come. They are no more losing hope or trying to fight the despair.
It was gone and replaced by the Love of her mate, Pack, and pup. It felt like it was so long ago when it wasn't even a year. Artemis started to rub up against her mind.
"You are who you were supposed to be. It may have taken a dark and lonely road, though we have made it just the same. We have mates that are forever, and we will have many pups to keep us busy for years and years."
Adira smiled as her Mate brought their pup over for his afternoon meal. She wasn't a fool; there would be hardships, sadness, and danger. There will also be times of plenty, joy, and peace. That is the way of things, and she was so glad to be a part of it.
Duncan had long since banished her nightmares; now, she has dreams of the pups to come. She has also set up a charity/company that rescues and helps victims of abuse. No matter their age, sex, species, or creed.
With the help of Marco, Jack, and Archer, Duncan has continued to locate and find businesses or packs or homes where abuse and trafficking are going on to put a stop to it.
They even have the backing of the King and extra warriors and elders that will also help them track them down. And end them for good.
Duncan knows that evil will always exist, but that doesn't mean you sit on your butt in your quiet happy little life and do nothing. Doing nothing when you know that something is going on makes you just as responsible as those who sin.

Marnie and Ashton announced that they would have a wedding, even though they were already mates. Marnie didn't care about a big ceremony. She just wanted a big party afterward.
Duncan and Adira gifted them with their own newly built cabin as a wedding gift. It had six bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms with large inner gathering rooms and a kitchen.
Ashton looked at Duncan with a smile...
"It is just the two of us; why so big?"
It was Marnie that answered.
"Duh, Ash, it is for all the pups or cubs we will have; I want a big family."
Adira and Marnie were like bees buzzing around planning for the wedding and party afterward. There was soo many guests that Duncan was starting to get a little worried and had to have the two Luna's taper it back a bit; they were going to end up with all kinds of people sleeping in every corner.
Marco finally decides to help them, so the many species of guests don't end up fighting. He prepared lists for them of who's who and the basic rules of their pack, clan, or pride.
He also arranged the menu and seating arrangements and where they would all be sleeping. Some of them were only coming for the day, which was a big help.
Luna Adira arranged for the entertainment of the younger adults and pups so they won’t be causing too much mischief.
Finally, Duncan looked all over for his Luna, he even mind-linked, but with no response, he found his lovely mate in his office, sleeping deeply at his desk. He gently lifted her in his arms and carried her to bed.
Just as he was about to lay her down on their bed, she wrapped her arms around him, giving him a kiss on the mark she gave him. He almost dropped her because of the surprise and sensation it made.
She didn't stop; he put her down on the bed and started to remove his clothes, but she stopped him.
"No, let me unwrap you; I love unwrapping my gifts. There is so much anticipation and the joy of what is inside."
Before he knew it, she had him naked; the evidence of her efforts was plain to see. She kneeled and licked up his shaft with a naughty giggle. He just about came out of his skin. It felt so good.
She continued to stimulate him with her tongue and her mouth. She was driving him crazy. Even Apollo was there with him. He couldn't stand it anymore.
He ripped off the little nighty that she had on, backed her up against the door, but one of her legs on his hip, and slid his way home. She was wild by his third thrust, and he was crazy by the fifth. It didn't take long for them to find their pleasure.
They caught their breath when a loud knock sounded on the door. Then Marnie's voice was yelling at them.
"Gross you two, use the bed. That is what it is for. I don't need any images of my brother doing what he is doing. I know he does it, and that is all I want to know."
They started laughing.
They went to their bed and continued showing their love for one another.
