Chapter 50 Blue Moon and Seattle

(Alexander POV)

Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in heart
Without a love of my own

I know I'm blessed; the Moon Goddess has given me "a love of my own" but right now, this love of mine is in the back of a Rolls-Royce pouting because she wasn't allowed to drive. I look at her looking out the window. Damn, why do I always feel bad when she doesn't get her way? "You know the answer why," Echo said

"Hope, I'll let you drive later ok? Just sit here with me for now." I try to appease her.

"You promise?" She looks at me with her head turned at an angle. Daring me to back out.

"I promise. Scout's honor." I try to make the hand gesture. "Or is it like this." I do another hand gesture.

"Never mind. I know you aren't going to allow me to drive. I'll just sit here with you and watch the trees go by..." Her voice drifted off, dramatically.

"Oh, stop being overdramatic." I tickle her waist and she squeals in laughter.

"No, stop it. I can't breath." She laughs. I tickle some more.

"Alexander, I will..." Hope was panting from laughing.

"Yes?" My fingers start to come closer.

"I will turn your underwear yellow."

"My underwear is black. I dare you to change it into yellow."

"If I do, will you let me drive?" Hope challenged.

I hesitate. Can she actually change the color of my underwear to yellow?

"You hesitated. I saw you. Awww. You really aren't going to let me drive? WHY?" She exclaimed.

"For appearances, Hope. We are going to another pack's territory and I want to show them I can take care of you," I replied.

"Ah. It's an ego thing. Ok, darling mate. I'll play the dutiful Luna. No wonder you wanted me to wear a dress." Hope looks down at her royal blue dress Amanda made for her. "I like the material of this dress."

"And Amanda loved the photos of you. She's having them published on her website." I look down at her feet. "Where are your shoes?"

"Here, they hurt my feet." She shows me the black stilleto pumps. "I'll put them back on later."

"We need hotel slippers in here. I'll make sure there's a pair here for you at all times."

"I wish Alicia was with us. A trip to Seattle will do her good. But every time I say the name Lancaster or mention the Blue Moon Pack, she jumps. I don't want to push her into telling me what happened. I feel she will tell me on her own time." Hope looked sad.

"Don't be sa sad  Alicia will be waiting for us in Seattle. It was supposed to be a surprise." Her lips curved into a smile. "I want you to do nothing, but be with me. Even during my business meetings." I pictured Hope at my side in the boardroom during those long boring meetings, her golden eyes looking at everyone, while her lips were curved in a  smile. I don't think the men would do anything else, but stare.

Hope's eyes sparkled with happiness when I told her. She practically threw herself on me to give me a hug. "Thank you, Alexander."

"Now, come here. Lean on me and rest." She leans on me and in minutes I feel her relax against my body. She was asleep.

She was up all night trying to figure out how to make a protection charm last for one whole season so she wouldn't have to keep coming back every cycle of the moon to reinstate the charm. She said if she'll be doing this for all packs, it'll be tiring to keep coming back. Hope said it's either she makes the spell last for one whole season or she has to teach someone from their pack. Yes, given the one she teaches won't be as strong as her, but some protection is better than nothing. She said once she becomes pregnant, she won't be able to travel as much as she would want to. Hope always has valid points.

Hope after meeting father and son decided she didn't like the Lancasters all that much and avoided them. After telling her parents she couldn't have dinner with them because there were "guests", she came back and Damian tried his hardest to get Hope to sit next to him. She suddenly didn't feel too well and sneaked back to her parents' house for dinner. She even spent the night at her parents' house telling everyone she had a bad headache and needed to sleep. Thanks Damian.

As for our trip, we decided to leave in the morning, arrive at Blue Moon at noon, put up the charm and head to Seattle for both business and honeymoon. We also needed to see the High Elder regarding Hope's inheritance. I called the High Elder to tell him to expect us.

"Your Excellency, my mate and I will be in Seattle for a few days. I was hoping you can spare us an hour from your busy schedule to see us."

"Yes, I was about to make a call for you and Alpha Hope to come see me so, I can transfer the Brandt fortune to her or however she wishes. The Moon Goddess always has perfect timing." He laughs.

"Your Excellency, I was hoping to get a sum of her fortune so, I can ask Hope how she wishes to use it," I said.

"Ballpark figure, Alpha Ulrich, $3.6B. Not including the gold, diamonds, rare gems and jewelry she has in the vault. I took the liberty of making investments of my own using the Brandt Fortune which has financed the Clan of Wolves as well as helped many packs around the world. You have heard of the Stella Foundation, have you not?" He asked me.

"That's Hope's foundation? So she has been indirectly helping wolves all this time?" I asked.

"Yes. I was hoping she would retain the charity and become the new face of the foundation."

"Of course. She will be delighted to do so, your Excellency."

"Thank you, Alpha Ulrich. Please make an appointment with my secretary when you arrive in Seattle. Good day." He hung up.

The Stella Foundation has been one of the biggest charities among the wolf packs around the world. The foundation was one of the reasons the Ulrich Group of Companies made its own foundation. To follow in the footsteps of the generosity of the Stella Foundation. All this time, Hope was helping all the wolves of the world and she didn't know it.

I wake her up an hour away from Blue Moon so she can freshen up. Even with her hair in disarray, she was still lovely as ever.

The last time I was at Blue Moon Terrritory, I was rescuing someone. At that time, Derrick was the newly appointed Alpha and was struggling to keep their pack afloat. Luciana and I helped him out when all others turned their backs on them.

Derrick has done well over the years. He has fixed everything that needs fixing. The lawn is well maintained. The gate new. The housing area shows a number of houses being built and the road that lead to their mansion have been newly paved. He was even able to pay back the loan Luciana and I gave him way back. It means Blue Moon is on it's way to a full recovery.

Our car and entourage park in front of the Lancaster Mansion. A lovely middle-aged woman comes out to welcome us into the territory. Oliver opens our door, I get out and help Hope unto the pavement.

Hope had a body hugging royal blue dress with a boat neckline and short sleeves. The skirt ended right below the knee and a black belt circled her tiny waist. With the four inch heels, she towered over the smiling woman in front of us.

"Alpha Alexander, so good to see you! Still handsome as always." She gives me a hug.

"Let me look at your Luna." She holds Hope by the arms and looks at her. " You've done well Alex. She is very beautiful. Derrick is so envious you got to her first." She laughs. " I'm Minerva, Derrick's mother."

"Hi, Ma'am Minerva, nice to meet you. I'm Hope." Minerva gives her a hug.

"My gosh, you are taller than your mother." Minerva points out.

"It's the heels. If I had my way, I'd be in sneakers." Hope said.

"Yes, Derrick said you preferred casual clothing. Between us girls, I'd rather be in slippers. The heels really hurt my feet." Minerva giggled. Hope giggled with her. I could see she liked Minerva.

"Where are my manners? Would you like some coffee, tea? How about your men, Alex?"

"No thank you Minerva. We'll get a bite to eat on the way." I told her.

"Very well then. Damian and Derrick left this morning. They were expecting you later this afternoon."

"That's okay, Minerva. Hope here will place her charm and we can go on our way. Hope?" I gestured to her to produce her charm.

Hope first placed a protection charm on the house. She placed some runes and a protection jar she made to reinforce the charm. She then proceeded to place a protection charm on the whole territory. The green light swirled down covering the whole territory. Within thirty minutes she was done.

"Hope, thank you so much for this. It really means a lot to me that you are helping us," Minerva said.

"You're welcome. If you need anything else, give us a call," Hope said. Oliver handed Minerva a business card.

"I will. You leaving so soon?" Minerva asked.

"Yes, we have a long drive ahead of us," I answered.

"I understand. Hope, thank you once again." Minerva bows her head at Hope.

We get back in the car and drive off, Hope waving goodbye to Minerva.

"Why couldn't Derrick be more like his mother than his father? I like her," Hope said.

"The ironies of life." I smile at her. "It's a long drive to Seattle. I would like to discuss what you would like to do with your fortune."

"I don't know how much it is, Alexander."

"I spoke with the High Elder. He believes it to be around $3.6B. Not including the gold and diamonds."

"I am worth $3.6B? Are you sure? Is this a prank?" Hope looks at me like she was about to be pranked.

"To answer all your questions, yes, yes and no. You are also the Chairwoman of Stella Foundation. You have heard of it, yes?"

"Stella Foundation has a scholarship program. I wasn't lucky enough to get one for university," Hope remarked.

"Honestly, you don't need one. The High Elder wishes to retain the foundation and make you its new face."

"Keep it and I'll even pour in more money if the foundation needs it," Hope said.

"Ok. That's settled. What about the rest?" I ask her.

"I would like to keep most of the investments. Earn while I finish school. I need to give some money to my parents and my aunt so they won't need to think of money ever again. I will invest in Ulrich and Hemming group that's if I haven't invested in your companies already. I'm guessing I already have. A trust fund for my future kids. Help restore Crescent Moon and help my mother's former pack in the north. I'd also like to make home for wolves who have lost their parents or a safe haven for wolves who need a pack." I was impressed. She really thought this through.

We debated how much she'd give to her parents and aunt. She wanted to give them a huge chunk of her fortune. She said she didn't need all that money. I told her she can now build her own garage room and fill it with cars that only SHE can drive. She looked at me with an evil twinkle in her eye and nodded her head. Oh boy. I think I created a monster.

When we both agreed to how her fortune was to be divided into, I asked her what she wanted to do with all the diamonds and gold her mother left her. She said she'd wait to see how much gold and diamonds her mother had collected. She said it might not be much if her biological parents liquidated the gold and diamonds to invest.

We arrived at my building in Seattle late afternoon, tired and hungry. I have a penthouse suite on the top floor while the men have their quarters on the floor below. Waiting for us was Alicia and our meal.

"You're here!" Hope gave Alicia a hug.

"Rode in the helicopter. My first time riding in one." Alicia smiled.

"I haven't ridden in one yet. Is it scary?" Hope asked.

"Loud actually." Alicia said. "Let me take your things and put it in your room. Alpha." Alicia bowed.

I told Oliver and David to set the men up with rooms and feed them. Oliver and David bowed and left.

Hope was already exploring our place in her bare feet, her stilleto pumps forgotten on the living room floor. She sat down on the huge leather sofa stool, looking through the huge windows, the view of the whole of Seattle in front of her.

"It's beautiful. Can we go out tonight? You know, see the sights. Please?" Hope asked me.

"We have an event we have to grace tonight, my love. AND we have to meet the High Elder at 8AM tomorrow.

"Okay. Next time." She pouted.

Alicia comes out to tell us everything was in order. She walks towards Hope and Hope stands to give her a hug. She told Hope she'll be across the hall if we need her and left the suite. I locked the door after her.

Finally, alone. I took off my clothes quietly. I walk to Hope, who was busy standing beside the sofa stool looking at the view, and stand behind her. I place her hair to one side to show her neck, hug her and kiss her neck. Then I pull down the zipper of her dress to expose her naked back. I rub her back, touching the smooth skin. I can feel myself becoming hard.

"Wouldn't it be more beautiful looking at the view while making love?" I whisper in her ear. I push her dress to the floor and unhook her bra and cup her breasts.

"Alexander, will someone see us?" She asks me.

"No. This is a one way window." I pull down her panties and let her underwear slide to the floor. "Spread those legs, love." I slide my hand up her inner thigh. She spreads her legs apart to give me more access. I caress the outside of her folds and then I lift her thigh and place her foot on the stool. "That's better." I open her up and look at our reflection in the window. "Look at our reflection. Look at how beautiful you are. Look." She gazes at our reflection and gasps seeing herself so naked, my fingers opening her folds showing her sensitive nub. I stroke it. She trembles.

"You like that, huh, my little she-wolf?" I ask her, my mouth close to her ear. I lick the lobe of her ear and she nods her response.

"Alexander, I..."

"Watch, my love. The sun is setting. Watch how you respond to my touch." She nods.

I start stroking her gently. She was already so wet. I place a finger inside her and I feel her muscles wrap around my finger. I pull it out and rub all her sweet juice on her sensitive nub.

"So wet already." I chuckled. I play with her nipple while stroking her nub. She gives out a groan. I look at our reflection. I spread her folds again and stick my finger in her, I see it all go in. When I take it out, my finger glistened with her juice.

"Let's make you cum as the sun sets shall we. Open your eyes, Hope. Watch."

I look at our reflection while she does the same. I stroke her nub, faster and faster. I swirl around it until I feel her arch her back and shake from the intensity of her climax. She almost fell on the floor if it weren't for me holding her up.

"That good, huh? It's going to get better. Keep watching my love." I enter her in one thrust.

"Alexander!" She gasps. "Oh my!" She moans.

I thrust in and out of her. I hold her against me, as we move, to keep her from falling. Oh my Goddess, she smells so good. I nibble on her ear. She groans.

"Oh, you are so tight, Hope. You feel soooooo good," I tell her while thrusting in her.

I move faster and faster. I feel the tension building in between us. Harder and faster I went. I see the beads of sweat on her shoulder and I lick it. She tastes oh so good too!

"Alexander, I'm about to..."

"Me too, my love." I feel her start to tremble, she gives out a loud cry, and arches her back. I give in to the ecstacy, pouring my seed into her. I look at our reflection. We were both panting, her leg up on the stool, and I was still inside her. She was staring at our reflection too.

"We were meant to be Hope." I kiss her cheek. "Look how perfect we look." I run my hands down her thigh to her sensitive nub. I start stroking it. I start to stiffen again while still inside her. I thrust in bringing my whole shaft in once again. Her warmth feels so good.

I sigh. I wish we could stay like this forever.
