He felt so good sliding in and out, filling her completely. His body rubbing against
her clit. Feeling the pressure building again her nails digging in. She could feel
him closing in too, his kiss turning desperate. Gasping for breath hips crashing
together. At the first pulse of her orgasm she felt him jerk and flood her with his
hot wet heat. Kian rocked until all of her aftershocks had subsided.
"Let's sleep for a few hours ok, baby?" He asked. At her nod he pulled the
covers down and settled them underneath them. Holding on to each other they
drifted off to sleep, leaving the world and all of its problems outside.
Chapter 16
The phone buzzing woke Kian up a few short hours later. Extricating
himself as carefully as possible from Emma's arms he checked it as he padded
out of the room. It was an email notification. Knowing the world didn't care what
was going on in his life, he might as well get started on some business. He put
on a pair of faded jeans with holes at the knees, and a dark green long sleeve
thermal. Emma was still sleeping peacefully, and knowing she could definitely
use it he closed the door on his back out of the bedroom. She was holding it
together, but he knew the stress was taking it's toll on his mate. He didn't like to
work from his phone, so he set his laptop on the bar and logged into his email
account. There were a few from suppliers about lumber, tile, and drywall. One
from a potential customer requesting an estimate. A bunch of other junk that
hadn't gotten filtered into his spam folder, and one from his uncle. No subject.
Wolf inside growling, hackles raised, he opened the email.
By now you must have figured out why I left. I
retained a lawyer in Grand Rapids to handle my affairs
under your name. My share of the company has been
transfered to you, my house listed for sale. Think you can
take my place as alpha, you have no idea what I am capable of. By this afternoon the whole pack will know.

The time stamp said it was sent three hours ago. Running his hands down
his face wondering how the hell he was even related to that snake of a man he
called Cathy Wyles, the secretary. She would be able to gather everyone quickly.
"I need you to call an emergency pack meeting, my house one hour from now."
As soon as Kian hung up he was already dialing. His brother muttered a greeting
into the phone, not bothering to say hi Kian told him call Lex, and get the three of
them over to his place immediately. As he hung up his phone the text from Cathy
for the whole pack came through.
Mandatory emergency pack meeting at the 2nd's house 1 hour.
Wishing like hell he didn't have to wake his mate up, Kian shook her shoulder
gently. "Baby, you're gonna need to get up." Emma blinked sleepily at him once,
and sensing the tension rolling off of him, sat straight up. So much for letting her
sleep. Damn his fucking uncle. Hearing the others pull up he walked back down
stairs.
Kole and Kayla came rushing in, "we got the text, what the fuck is going
on?" His brother demanded. "See for yourself." Kian said jerking his head in the
direction of his computer on the counter. Kole and Kayla each read it and Kole
immediately started pacing."Shit, Kian, do you know what that means? He screwed us! He made it look like
you ran him out of town! The pack is already upset with you, they're not going to
let you take his place as alpha. This is going to be a bloodbath!" Kole swore
pacing back and forth.
"Way to be positive Kole." Kayla admonished him.
Lex walked in and having heard the end of Kole's rant went right over to where
Emma was standing at the counter reading the email.
"What does this mean for the rest of us?" Emma asked.
"I need to establish myself as the new alpha." Kian said, his eyes bright.
"I know your the second, it should be easy right? Please tell me it will be easy for
you." Emma said hopefully looking at him. Kian didn't answer Emma. Not wanting
to lie to his mate, but knowing she wouldn't like the answer. He just shook his
head.
"Kian fought off challengers for his rank occasinally, and he is dominant enough.
But Kole is right. Kian isn't very popular at the moment. That was a damn good
powerplay, he didn't give us the opportunity to do any damage control." Lex said,
then kneeling, "We are going to have to fight. I am with you Deck, I've had your
back since we were pups. I pledge my fealty to you, by tooth and by claw, you
are the alpha."
Kole and Kayla joined Lex on his knees, pledging themselves to Kian as well.
Emma stood there, not knowing what to do since she didn't have a wolf, andwasn't an official member of the pack. Kayla grabbed Emma's hand and pulled
her down next to the others.
Kian accepted their submission under him with a feral growl. "I will be
honored to be your Alpha. I don't want my first act of leadership to be asking you
to fight friends and neighbors today, but thats what is coming our way. But we will
not go down easily." He looked at his mate, her question to him clear in her eyes.
Shaking his head no, he wouldn't bite her. Knowing he couldn't focus on the task
at hand while worrying over her first turn, if she was lucky enough to survive it.
She sighed, and that sound of dissapointed defeat shot straight into his heart,
cracking it a little. He knew it was hurting her to be denied. "That won't help now.
After this has all been settled we will look for other answers. There has to be
information somewhere, maybe your father couldn't figure it out while on the run
hiding you." Emma nodded her head, and he knew she didn't believe that was
the case. But she didn't push the matter.

The next hour was spent pacing, and being really pissed off at the
