Chapter 46

Elizabeth Summers’ POV
Jasper’s lips moved slowly along my neck. We had only just made love a few minutes ago and yet his erection was already pressing against my pelvis. Over the last few days since we had marked each other we had been insatiable. The need to strengthen our bond was incredibly strong and we were both more than happy to give into it.
“We should probably start getting ready for school.” I suggested.
It was the last thing I wanted to do but we had missed a couple of days already and we needed to at least try to get back to normal life. Although that would mean that I would somehow have to keep my hands off him for a few hours.
“No way. I need at least one more day before I am ready for that.” He replied, pouting at me.
He leaned forward and pressed his lips firmly against mine, while rolling me onto my back. As our kiss became more passionate I felt his weight on top of me. It was impossible to resist him now, I needed to feel him inside of me. I moaned and thrust my hips against him.
“I love it when you show me how much you want me.” He purred, between kisses.
“Shut up and take me.” I replied, just before someone knocked loudly on our door. Jasper groaned in frustration but he made no move to roll off me. Instead he continued to kiss my neck as though nothing was happening.
“I’m sorry to interrupt your bonding but your father asked to see you in his office as soon as possible.” Nico’s father called through the door.
“Ignore him.” Jasper whispered as he penetrated me. An involuntary moan left my lips as Jasper ran his canines over the skin on my neck.
“He asked me to make sure you got to the meeting, please don’t make me listen to you having sex.” Nico’s father complained. Part of me wanted to tell him to leave if he didn’t want to hear us, I didn’t know if I was growing bold or if it was just because I was close to my release.
“Go and tell him that we will be there in half an hour.” Jasper growled. He was thrusting into me roughly as he spoke, hitting just the right spot. I had to bite my lip in order to stop myself from moaning again.
I wasn’t sure if Nico’s father left at that point because all I could focus on was the man who was on top of me, giving me exactly what I needed. My pleasure was quickly increasing and I was having trouble keeping quiet, I was biting my lip so hard that I was almost drawing blood.
“Don’t bite your lip, I want the whole house to hear what I do to you.” Jasper growled.
His teeth pierced my shoulder, pushing me over the edge and making me scream out in pleasure. Jasper’s own release followed a few seconds later, he screamed my name while he filled me completely.
He kissed my neck and my lips for a few seconds before we started to get ready for our meeting. I wasn’t sure what Jasper's father could possibly want from us now. We had already agreed to help him with his plan but nothing was supposed to be happening with that until sometime next week.
‘I have a bad feeling about this.’ Hazel growled in my mind. She had better instincts than I did, if she was uncomfortable then it was a good idea to be cautious.
We followed Nico’s father into Jasper’s fathers office. Jasper apologised for the delay as Nico’s father left and closed the door behind him. A shiver of anxiety travelled down my spine. There was an atmosphere in this room that was making me feel uncomfortable and even though I couldn’t see the face of alpha Hartford’s guest I could sense his alpha aura.
He was sitting opposite alpha Hartford at his desk. All I could see of him was the back of his head and shoulders over the back of the chair. He was dressed in a rather expensive looking suit and there were flecks of grey throughout his short dark brown hair.
“It is ok, you will learn respect while you are staying with our pack.” The unknown alpha said, without even so much as turning in his seat to look at us.
“What is he talking about?” Jasper asked, his eyes darting between his father and the other alpha.
“We made a deal for the good of both packs.” Alpha Hartford replied.
“What deal?” I had a sickening feeling in my stomach. The other alpha stood up, he turned to look at Jasper and I for the first time since we walked into the room. A smirk slowly came over his face as he looked at us. I didn’t even know this man’s name but I was already starting to hate him.
“In exchange for not wiping out this pack or reporting your weakness to the council, I have agreed to take the two of you back to my pack. Jasper will take on an apprenticeship at one of my businesses and you.” He turned to face me directly and took a couple of steps towards me.
“You will bear my son two male heirs.” Jasper growled and wrapped his arms around me possessively. The unknown alpha laughed, he knew that there was nothing that Jasper would be able to do to hurt him.
“Don’t worry, he won’t be having sex with your mate. He only needs a surrogate who can bear alpha children, not a whore.” He replied, he was finding the whole thing far too amusing and my wolf would love nothing more than to wipe that smile off his face.
“What about your son’s mate?” I asked.
There were only a couple of ways a werewolf couple were guaranteed to produce an alpha child. One was when both parents were alphas and the other was when an alpha had a child with their fated mate.
“He rejected his mate years ago without telling me.” The alpha replied. His jaw was tense and I could feel the anger radiating from him. I had a feeling that the poor girl that his son had rejected had a lucky escape.
“That is sad for him but I am sure there are other women he could take as a chosen mate.” Jasper replied, gripping me tighter and staring pointedly at the alpha.
“Not really, you should know how rare female alphas are.”
The answer was, extremely rare. Most alphas only had male children. Most chauvinistic men like those in the council took this to mean that women weren’t capable of leading a pack but scientists have a different explanation. They thought that years of female alphas being killed before they could take over the pack had caused alphas to stop having as many female children.
“Well that sounds like a problem for him, not for me.” I replied. I expected him to be angry at me for refusing his demands but instead he just looked amused. Jasper’s father however looked terrified by my comment.
“Were you not listening when I said I would wipe your pack out of existence.” The alpha replied.
“Alphas always think they are in control of everything but most of the time it is all just talk.” I replied, puffing out my chest. It might have been a more effective gesture if I wasn’t so short when everyone else in the room was well over 6ft tall.
“How about this for backing up my words. Not only is the Graves pack much bigger than yours, we also have the backing of two other packs. Not to mention that if I told the council about your mate's condition then they would give me as much help as I wanted to take your pack apart.” His smug smile was back again and it annoyed me more than his words did.
“Once we have taken this pack apart I will kill your mate and have my son claim you as his.” He said, taking a couple of steps towards me. Jasper took a step forward and put himself between me and alpha Graves.
“So you see, either you come with me willingly or I take you with me by force. I will give you a week to make your choice. If you are not in my pack by this time next week then we will be coming to get you.”
The moment he finished speaking he walked past Jasper and I to leave the office. I turned around and started to head out of the room when Jasper’s father stopped me in my tracks. He wasn’t happy with the way I had handled the situation with alpha Graves. Quite frankly I didn’t care, I didn’t want to be used as some surrogate and I wasn’t happy about him selling my body to some alpha’s son.
I wasn’t sure how I was going to get out of this agreement that alpha Hartford had made for me but I was going to get out of it. I was going to find a way to save our pack and myself that didn’t involve giving into the Graves pack’s demands.
