Chapter 35
After the brave, daring rescue off the cruel, unforgiving mountain, Zander and I deserved some much needed rest.
Of course, what that means is three medium, meat lovers pizzas from Phoenix city’s best pizzeria and the best bottle of champagne my paycheck could afford.
I bounce on the bed with a giggle as he slams his lips on mine.
I run my nails across his back and he fists my hair. He deepens the kiss and I moan into his lips.
He parts dragging his teeth across my bottom lip.
He looks into my eyes and grins. Reaching over to the ice bucket, he pulls out an ice cube. Holding it in his fingers and wiggling it.
My eyes follow the cube to my thigh. He watches between me and the ice.
Running the cube around both my thighs and across the apex of my thighs, I smile as the cold tickles.
He smiles back, biting his lip as he presses it to my core. I arch back as he kisses my neck.
He slides the ice up onto my stomach. He smirks as my stomach flinches and goosebumps appear all over.
Looking into my eyes, his sparkle in the low light of my room. He turns to the cube as it slides from my stomach to in-between my breasts. He slides the cube up one mound to my already hardened nipple.
I suck in a little breath as the cold hits it and he circles it. He lets out a little laugh as he watches my reactions. He slides the ice to my other breast and repeats his tease.
His smile fades a bit as he watches the cube slide from my chest to my neck. His eyes turn to slits when I roll my head back.
The water droplets run all down the sides of my body and neck sending shivers of pleasure through me.
The cube rounds the curve of my chin to my lips. He watches as he dances it around my lips. Stopping to let me suck on it for a bit.
He pulls the cube away and puts it back in the bucket.
Grabbing my head, he bruises my lips again. He pulls away. “I’ve made you cold…”
He climbs on top of me and starts to move down toward my middle. The corner of his mouth ticks up. “Now, I’ll make you red hot.” His deep voice raises goosebumps again when it hits my ears.
He slides his hand down my thighs to my knees. Hooking my knees and lifting my legs, he spreads them. He bites the inside of my thighs on both sides. I swallow as the electric warmth I felt from him is more intense now.
The bond is snapping more now too. Everything is a million times more sensitive.
“I want to hear you, tonight.” He whispers as he flicks out his tongue and gently runs it around my outer lips. His hands holding my thighs back.
“Yes…” I breathe as I arch back.
He runs his tongue slowly up the middle, making me moan more.
He finds my clit and runs circles around it at a torturously slow pace.
“Zander…” I moan as my hands fist the blankets.
He sucks in my clit and dances his tongue all over it.
I get up on my elbows and play with his hair as he licks and suck.
“Yes…like that…” I whisper in an airy voice.
I hold onto a leg and look into his eyes as he increases his movements.
“God…yes…don’t stop…” I pant. My climax is building fast. I don’t know if it’s the bond or the fact that I never thought I’d have Zander like this again.
He gently nibbles my core as I roll my head back. “Yess!...”
He speeds up and my thighs shake. The heat in me is skyrocketing. My heart is pounding and I can barely breathe.
I look at him and he smiles before he takes me all in and sucks. His tongue licking all over.
YESSSS!!...Zan!....” My orgasm rolls through and my come flows out.
He lets my legs go and slowly climbs up to my lips and kisses them. His feather soft tongue finding mine and caressing it.
He breaks the kiss and puts his forehead on mine.
“You’re so amazing. I want to worship every inch of you.” He looks into my eyes as he finds my entrance. He slowly pushes in as I gasp at his girth.
He lays on top, one hand on the bed and one hand on my cheek, his thumb running across my lips.
He slowly pulls out and pushes back in a tiny bit faster.
He looks into my eyes. His breath is shaky as he pushes back in. “You feel so good.” My eyes never leave his as I moan.
He increases his pace. He kisses me and I moan louder on his lips.
His legs push my thighs up and rises to his hands.
“Yes…Zander!” I moan even louder.
He rolls a nipple in his teeth and kisses my neck as his thrust become deeper.
He lays down again and rocks his hips more. He kisses me more. “I love you so much, Richelle.” He pants. He smiles as his hips collide with my thighs a faster.
“I love you too.” I breathe.
My head rolls and he nips my neck and ear.
He intensifies his movements and I arch back.
He raises himself again. Watching me wave under him.
“Yessss!...Zan!...”
“You going to come, my little devil?” He looks dreamily at me.
“YESS!” I scream.
He pulls me up into his lap. He places a hand on ass and scoops my hair with my head with the other. “Not without my mark, you don’t.” He growls.
His eyes glow solid white and his canines descend. With the power of a God he sinks his teeth into my shoulder as his thrusts hit me hard and fast.
“YESSSSS!!!.....” My climax crashes again. My come coats him.
My body comes alive in heat and electricity. My mind fills with all kind of white energy. My body comes undone.
His growl flows across my skin and to my heart as he hangs on to implant his mark.
He removes his teeth and licks my shoulder.
I grab his chin and kiss him. He goes deeper and faster, holding my ass to help me rise and fall on his rock solid dick.
I feel him swell. He moans on my lips and his muscles tense. He pulls me back. “Leave your mark, baby.” He smiles and tilts is head.
I nip his neck. His growl almost seems like a purr as I get to the spot I have to mark. I lick it and my eyes glow gold. I sink my canines deep into his thick shoulder.
He growls and his grip on my ass and back become tighter.
His release explodes inside me as his thrust become even more forceful.
Every muscle flexes over and over as he comes inside me.
I hang on. Growling and moaning at the same time. My nails in his back and my other hand in his hair.
I pull out my canines and clean the spot.
He stops and his hands run up and down my back and shoulders. I cup his cheek and kiss him.
A tear rolls out my eye as I pull back.
He wipes it away. He tilts his head forward to me. “You…will not shed another tear.” He lifts his chin. “By order of the king.” He grins.
I laugh and pull his head into my shoulder as he laughs too. He hugs me and kisses my neck.

“Who are these people again?” Zander walks with me to the Phoenix unit council room.
“These are Phoenix City council Alphas. When Bastian found the new alliances, some were closer to Phoenix, so they joined us. They’re really great guys, if you can get them to agree on….well anything.” I smile.
I open the doors and the council room is more like a party than a meeting. The Falcon Ridge Alphas all stayed here to meet the new alliance members too. So, you can only imagine how loud it was. Alphas voices boomed as they talked, laughed and ribbed.
The room saw us and erupted in greetings.
Zander actually smiled and waved. He was holding my hand and he kissed my forehead.
I smiled back and led him into the room.
Falcon Ridge Alphas surrounded us.
River smiled. “So, you guys have something to tell us?”
Zander looks at me. “I was a dumbass and almost walked away from my mate.”
“Mate?!” several say.
“I knew it!” Luke pushes Zander as he laughs.
Zander laughs too. “Yeah, we found out on the mountain.”
William leans forward. “Wait you snapped in that God forsaken place?”
“Yep. It was great!” I preen.
Gideon chuckles. “Only you would find that exciting.”
The Alphas chuckle.
Luke folds his arms. “That’s pretty cool. Big, dangerous mountain mating? Might knock you down a peg Gid.”
Zander looks around. “What?”
Grey steps up. “This is where Luke rates the mate story. So far Bastian wins, but I still say I’m being cheated.” He scowls and folds his arms.
Luke points to him. “Killer Cowboy!!” he yells.
Grey points to Zander. “Angry, vengeful God and vampires!” He yells back.
Luke narrows his eyes. “Oh yeah.”
Jayson leans to Luke. “But he did unofficially knight you.”
Luke considers. “Yeah. I’ll give points to that.”
Zander folds his arms. “And I’m king and can have all of you thrown into a deepest, darkest hole I can find.” He arches a brow and looks at the Alphas.
They all look at each other then look at Zander. “You win!” They all say at the same time.
Luke turns to the back of room. “Hey, Bastian! You’re no longer number one!”
“What?!” We hear yelled from the back as we all laugh.
“OK. Introductions. Come on."
We push through the Alphas to meet my Alphas now.
We walk to the group of ten Alphas standing around mingling.
“Hey guys and girl" I give a little wave.
“Hey!” They all say.
A big, blonde haired Alpha approached. His light blue eyes sparkle and his white tshirt does little to hide his muscles and ink sleeve. “Glad your ok, Rick.” He claps my shoulder. “This the King?” He points to Zander.
“Yes. Zander Maximus, Alpha Brody Douglas.”
The two shake hands. “Quite the shake. “ Zander says.
“Iron three hours a day, man. You should join me.” He smiles and back hands Zanders chest.
Brody gets pushed aside. “Please. Some people have lives Brody.”
Another big Alpha with long, black curly hair stands in front of us. “Mateo Ortiz. So you’re a king?” He folds his arms across his thick chest covered in a metal shirt.”
“Yep.” Zander mimics his posture.
Mateo ticks his mouth. “Does that work for the ladies?”
Zander chuckles. “It helps I think.”
“Cool. I’ll have to try that…”
A hand comes into the circle. A man with textured, long, brown hair jumps in “Graham Mitchell. Nice to meet you. Don’t mind these guys. We’re a good responsible bunch when we need to be.”
“Geez, Graham, kiss his ass a little more, Brody scoffs.
Graham turns “The rest are talking, but the guy with the red hair, that’s Sawyer Dawn. The guy with shoulder length hair, that’s Hunter Adams. The gorgeous blonde in the corner, that’s acting Alpha Trinity Locklear.” He turns to Zander. “Sexy right?” He grins bouncing his brow.
“The angry guy against the wall, that’s Bear. We don’t know his last name. He barely says two words. Then we have Peter, the blonde guy. Darcy, the black haired guy talking to him. Owen, the guy with man bun and ink. He’s kind of the unofficial leader. Major stick up his ass.”
He points to a built, but small kid in the corner. Arms folded and not looking at anyone.
“Mr. Teenage Angst over there is Zane. Smart kid, just turned 18. He has to take over the pack after his dad died two years ago. He’s not having a good go of it at all. If something blows up in your face or you find your computer dissembled in pieces, it’s that guy. Some of the guys call him gremlin because he likes to take stuff apart.”
Zander looks confused
I chuckle. “It’s reference to a bad luck tale. If something breaks or falls apart, you blame gremlins.” I shrug.
He nods.
“Ricky!” I turn and a smile spreads across my face.
“My ladies!!’ I smile as we all gather in a group hug.
Sammy tries to get n too. “Dang girl! You’re going to blow up.” I say rubbing her baby bump.
Anna grabs my shirt. “What the hell is this?”
I look at my mark. “Guess who’s the new queen of the castle!” I throw my hands up.
“No! The King?!” Anna’s eyes shoot up.
“Get out!” Sammy pushes me.
“Ricky, I’m so happy!” Mia squeals and bounces.
Sarah comes in for a hug. “So happy for you girl."
“Sarah. How’s Shane?” I ask.
“He’s good. He’ll live. He’s having nightmares, but being attacked by vampires will do that.” She informs
“I’m sure he’ll get better in time.” I hug her again.
I look around the room. “I guess someone should call this meeting? Oh wait, that’s me.” I giggle.
I call everyone to the table and everyone situates themselves as best they can.
Our council room is a lot bigger than Falcon Ridge, but it feels dang small with 20 Alphas and 10 Lunas in the room.
We talk about what happened on Brynja Mountain and steps for going forward. Christians placement will be discussed further. It will be a little while before the ice wolves are fully trusted enough to join our alliance.
All in all it went pretty good. My Alphas actually behaved for once. Barely any fights. Score one for me.
After the meeting the Falcon Ridge Alphas decided to take in a little more sight seeing and get familiar with things here. Which means me and Zander have more time to ourselves.
Which pretty much means we lock ourselves in my office for a few hours until we practically die from exhaustion.
