We were hosting a giant ball. There was to be both some of the few northern packs and some southern packs coming. I knew that there were very few people still in the North. This was a chance for them to find their mates. Cade had called what friends he still had. We had an uphill battle. After the war, many decided to no longer be his ally.
They saw us as too strong; we had killed many, and now we had the infamous northern in our pack. Not only had that deterred them, but the fact Cade and I were of the same standing in the pack. They thought that we should only have one leader. When Cade sent out the invitations, only some decided to respond. The conscience in the packs in the South was that Shadow Pack was a threat. Cade and I thought that it was a risky position to be in. I was constantly worried we would have to go to war again.
The South did not like when one pack was much stronger than the others. And Shadow Pack was the strongest. It didn't help matters that we were nothing like the other southern packs. We had Sol taking over as the next alpha. The things that Howi had warned the South about were coming true in their eyes. Women leading, that we would become more self-reliant. All the good things he had predicted did come true. But the wrong things, like we would try to take over that, was false.
I stood there in front of the mirror. I was wearing a black dress that hugged my curves. I had plenty of cleavage on display, more than I thought was appropriate, but Helen said I looked stunning. She was pregnant now, and I couldn't help but be happy for her. Her child would most likely be my daughter's Beta. They had already found out the gender, and it would be a boy. I was happy for them.
I knew Helen had been wanting kids for a long time, and now she would have one. I couldn't be more happy for them. There were a lot of women expecting this year. Saka and Len, both of their mates, were pregnant. And all the women who had found mates in the South who came from the North who had found mates, I was sure we would have even more pregnant women when they went into heat in a few weeks.
I continued to look at my reflection. My bites had faded, but you could see the outlines of the teeth marks. They littered my body. But they had faded and were now not near as noticeable. You would still see them looking at me, but it no longer surprised me. I had braided my hair tonight. I pulled them to the front so as not to draw attention to my missing ear. I had taken a lot of damage, but the only thing that showed the pack was that I was strong.
I still felt self-conscious about my looks, but it improved over the months. Tonight would be the first time others outside Shadow Pack would be here, and I was nervous. I didn't want to have everyone staring at me. I took a deep breath. Cade came up behind me, wrapping his arms around me. He kissed the side of my neck right on my mating mark. I moaned as he licked the sensitive skin. "You know we could just skip the party and stay in here. I mean, would they really miss us?" He mind linked.
I smiled at him. "This morning and afternoon was not enough for you?" "There will never be enough of you." I giggled and turned to face him. He slammed his lips into mine. His large hands wrapped around my body. I felt his grip tighten on me as he squeezed my hips. I moaned into his mouth. One thing I had to admit was Cade never made me feel ugly. He never treated me like I was broken. He continued to be rough and demand the most my body could give him, and I reveled in it. His hands squeezed my ass. I felt him pulling the fabric up. "Cade, we can't. People will be arriving." I mind-linked. "They can wait or, better yet, start without us." I smiled against his lips, and my hands found his belt buckle, and I worked fast to undo it.
Cade had hiked my dress up, and I had managed to spring his thick cock from his trousers. I gripped it, and I could feel his throat vibrate in a groan. I dropped to my knees, taking him into my mouth. His hands twisted my braids in his hands as he helped propel my head to take him further. I sucked him in, and I knew he was getting close to coming. But then he pulled my head away and pulled me back to his mouth.
His hands resumed bunching up my dress. "Turn around, Kaya." Cade mind linked. I did as he requested. I felt him slide into me. I was already soaking wet for him. He was not slow. He was rough and hard as he pounded into me. We went at this position, and I was getting so close to reaching my peak, but I wanted to face him. I wanted to come looking at him while he was inside me. "Cade, lift me up." He pulled out, and I turned, grabbing my long dress. I hiked it up, and he lifted me as I wrapped my legs around him.
My back hit the wall, and Cade resumed to fuck me with our mouths pressed together. I moaned as he hit my sweet spot. My legs squeezed him tighter. My stomach tightened. I bit into his lip as I orgasmed around him. Squeezing his cock hard with my pussy. Cade pumped a little faster, and then I felt him explode inside me. It felt so right. He kissed me softly and helped me down. My dress fell back onto the floor.
I couldn't help but smile at him. He returned it with a smirk of his own. "So now, do we go down to the party." I mind-linked. Cade nodded, and I looked in the mirror one more time, trying to adjust my clothes the best I could. "Kaya, no reason to do that. Everyone will already know what we were doing." I gave him a weird look. "You were pretty vocal." I felt my face go red. I couldn't believe now I would have to face all those who heard Cade and I going at it. "Kaya, calm down. Everyone always hears us." I nodded. I was still slightly embarrassed, more so with the fact that we were going to be late to the party we were hosting because Cade and I couldn't get enough of each other. Everyone would know that we could care less about things like this.
