Chapter 37

**Cole**



We get back to the packhouse, shift and walk in. Standing there is my mother. “Cole where have you been? No one has heard from you. I asked your father to take up your place while you were gone. He is in your office now. Maybe he should stay on as Alpha since your wretched mate is encouraging this behavior.”

“Mother what are you talking about? I have been gone for a day. Maybe a day and half. Also don’t say shit about Winter.” I respond.

Why is my mom like this? I don’t understand how she could get my dad to take up my place. I need to talk to Marcus. He is my Beta. He should be the one in charge of things if I am out, or even if I die. In that case he would be alpha. So why would my mother think it is appropriate to have my dad acting in my place. I need to get to the bottom of this.

“So, what have you been influencing my son to do now? Run off with you? Become a rogue? Abandon his position?” my mom is shouting.

Winter is livid. “Look here I told you not to fuck around with your son’s position. I don’t like disrespect.” Winter grabs her by the back of her neck and tosses her against the wall. Watching Winter display her strength in the nude is turning me on. This is really not the best time to be getting a hard on. I’m naked, my mother is here, and I am sure that everyone else in the house has heard the noise and may peek in to see what is going on. I need to cover myself.

I can’t believe my mom is accusing Winter of trying to pull something like that. I should probably be more worried about her. Honestly though, she had it coming. She is looking all right anyway.

“You bitch! Who do you think you are? You can’t toss me around!”

“No mother!” I cut her off before she can say anything else. “She can do as she fits. We don’t have time for your nonsense right now. I need to get dressed and go speak with Marcus.”

“You’re damn right, you need to get dressed. I am disgusted with you and that thing strolling around naked like wild animals. Where is your sense of shame? Since she has been here you have thrown out everything your father and I taught you about modesty, morals, respect. She obviously has no respect for her elders. She just threw me into a wall....”

My mother continues ranting as I grab Winters hand and walk away to get dressed. As we walk into the room, I realize we have gotten very dirty from our romp in the woods.

“We should probably shower we are both dirty.”

She nods and I lead her to the shower.

“Turn around and I will wash your back.” she turns, her back toward me and I start washing her down. I start scrubbing in small circles on her shoulders and my dick starts to stiffen. I continue washing her. All of this scrubbing and exploring her body with my hands is getting me hard. Once I have finished, she cleans me off too. My dick is getting sore from how hard it is. Still, we got into the shower to get clean. She washes my hair, and then I start washing hers. As I’m rinsing out her long hair she starts to moan, and I can’t take it any longer. I lean in and let out a low growl into her neck.

“I want you.”

She reaches back and grabs my stiffened cock. She starts stroking it slowly and then faster. I run my fingers over her slit and she lets out a moan. With that encouragement I slip two of my fingers into her and use my thumb to rub her clit.

“Please Cole, please. I want you inside of me.”

I love it when she begs for it. I pick her up and slam her against the glass. Then I lower her down on to my bulging cock. As I am thrusting into her, she wraps her legs around my waist. She starts thrusting down on to me. I let her take control as I slide down to the floor of the shower. Winter positions herself and begins vigorously thrusting herself onto my cock. She slams down repeatedly until we are both on the verge. We climax together. Then we finish rinsing off and get dressed.

Now I need to find Marcus. I send out a mind link to Marcus telling him to meet me in my office. As I walk, I find my father sitting at my desk. “Dad, what are you doing in my office? Also, can you tell me why mother says that you have taken up my position as Alpha? It hasn’t even been 2 days full days since I went out. Besides that, you know that my Beta is next to take charge if I'm not around or dead. So, what is going on?”

Before my father can answer, Marcus walks in. “Hey Cole, it’s good to see you’re back. I figured you would not be gone long. I talked with Byron after you left. So, I understand that you just went out to help Winter calm down. She just needed some time with to herself, right?”

“I knew you would handle things, and thanks for understanding. I would like to know why my father is here though, and why my mother thinks he has been the acting Alpha while I’ve been gone. Dad, I'm happy to have you here, you hardly come into the packhouse anymore. However, I need to understand what exactly is going on.” Marcus is about to answer when my father raises his hand to silence him. He always did that when I child. It makes him seem so calm and in control at the same time. It’s a great power move.

My father speaks in a calm tone "Cole I'm only here because of your mother. Marcus has been running things. Look at the desk.”

I glance over the desk and notice there is a book, Les Miserable.

“Your reading Winters book?”

“Yes, I met her in the library, and she recommended it. She is very smart and has good taste in books. As I said your mother is the reason I'm here. You know how she can pester. So, I gave in and sat here while you were gone. Marcus handled things and I satisfied your mother.”

I still don’t understand why she would want to have my father in charge. He must have seen my confusion. He always knows what I am thinking. “It is no secret your mother has a serious dislike for your mate. I don’t know why. I believe she thinks with me in charge she can somehow convince you to put Winter aside and find another mate to be Luna. We both know it does work like that. The moment you marked her and mated she became Our Luna. Sure, you still have a Luna ceremony to perform, but that is really just a celebration to introduce her to the pack.”

Why does my mother think she can pull this shit? I need to find a solution. If I don’t my mother will most likely die by Winters hand. I wouldn’t blame her. My mother has been horrible. I don’t want that to happen, however. Putting my personal feelings for my mother aside, I can’t imagine what that would do to my father, he would be devastated.

"Look Cole I'll see what I can do to ease your mother’s tension and fear about Winter, but I can't promise you anything. She was Luna herself for a long time. It is hard for her to step out of that role.” My father gives me a hug. Then he grabs his book and walks out of the office.
