Joshua’s POV
I slammed my fist on the desk as my beta had no update on the whereabouts of Hesperia. She just disappeared in a cloud of black smoke during the fight.
“Moon Goddess, what am I to do without her?” I looked up at the full moon.
“My child,” a soft melodic voice answered. “She is coming home soon and when she does you cannot let her go again.”
I gasped feeling her presence in my head, it was an odd feeling not unwelcomed but my wolf Zane wasn’t a fan of someone else being in my head. “Yes my goddess, I will never let her go again.”
I trusted that the moon goddess would bring Hesperia back to me. I sat back in my chair wanting a release. I didn’t want Bianca. She would just ask about Hesperia at this point, for some reason she seemed genuinely worried about her, maybe it’s the idea of sisterhood with being with me. I smiled at the idea of them getting along, maybe even carrying my heirs together.
I mindlinked with Grace and called her up to my office. She was in here undressed in a matter of minutes. She was an easy lay, eager to please me hoping to take Bianca’s place. I leaned my head back as she bounced on my c**k, she felt good, like she was built to f**k. I spread her inside with my seed and she smiled at me happy to be cummed in. That was the difference between Bianca and her, Bianca made sure to get the title before letting me c*m in her, she was smart. Grace well she was just a good little she wolf to f**k.
She whimpered in pain as I flipped her over and slammed into her again. After a few hours Grace was ragged and I felt pleased enough. I left her crying in pain on the bed in my office and went to the showers to clean her filth off.
I sent a mindlink to my beta to make sure Grace got a plan B.
I walked into my bedroom and found Bianca laying asleep holding onto a teddy bear. I smiled softly at my chosen mate and brushed her hair away from her neck seeing my mark. It wasn’t as pretty as true mate marks, but I think I did a fairly good job.
I could have it all I know I can. I just need to get Hesperia back and I’ll show her that it can all work out. I slipped into bed and fell asleep dreaming of what would be my big beautiful family.
Waking up to news about those damn twins wanting another meeting was annoying enough, but Arnie came in to tell me Grace had run off in the woods before taking the damn plan B. f**k little b***h was smarter than I thought.
“Gamma Crane, send out a squad of three to find Grace and bring her back now,” I shot through the mindlink.
“Yes my Alpha,” Crane affirmed.
“Joshua what’s going on?” Bianca asked sleepily.
“Nothing my dearest, I have a few meetings today,” I reached over and kissed her head feeling the soft tingles. “So I won’t be available till later tonight.”
“Okay,” she smiled softly and turned over. “I’m probably going to go shopping with Grace later today.”
My smile faded, s**t I really shouldn’t have f****d that she wolf. “Okay hun, let me know if she if that pans out.” If Grace replies I can get to her before Bianca and make sure she doesn’t ruin anything.
I got up and walked back to my office. My beta Manny was already sitting down doing work at a small desk I had brought in, he looked exhausted. I rolled my eyes annoyed at how he seemed to think he took on all the work for this pack. He used to be my best friend before the whole Hesperia debacle, but he’ll get on board like everyone else.
“Anything new to report?” I asked, walking to my desk.
“There’s been a few rogue’s spotted on the border. The Spring Moon pack wants to meet with our luna. I have approved the budget for the new daycare, it's on your desk in the red folder waiting for your signature. Also King Kaladin has requested for all Selunite Packs to be ready for inspections due to claims of abuse,” he looked up at me, his black eyes judging me at that last bit.
“Well it’s a good thing we’ve never abused anyone here, only given appropriate punishments,” I shot at him, annoyed at why he suddenly felt so inclined to be upset at the treatment of Hesperia.
“Then you might want to send a clean up crew to her room and that cell you held her in,” he stood up.
“Do you have something to say to me beta?” I glared at him. Zane wasn’t backing me up, I could feel the silence from him since last night.
“Joshua, you know I always thought the world of you that’s why I agreed to be your beta,” he looked at me ashamed. “But after learning all that you did to her, I cannot in good conscience be a part of this pack. I plan on severing my ties as soon as you find a new beta,” Manny bowed.
“You really didn’t know huh?” I laughed. “Here I thought it was an open secret how we treated that runt. She doesn’t even have a wolf you know?”
“Then why not reject her and let the princes take her?” He stood back up, his black eyes pulsing as I could since Izyn was trying to get out. I would try and force the submission but Manny was an Alpha by blood who chose to be a beta because he hated his family.
“She is mine,” I scoffed and pretended to read the paperwork he filed.
“Okay,” he sighed disappointedly and walked out.
