Brynn's Beta

Chapter 9--Brynn

After we mated, we left Jace’s suite one time in three days, and that was only to pack and move my stuff up the Beta floor. Jace of course wanted to christen my old room before we even started packing. First, he pushed me up against the door and started kissing me while he locked it.

I pulled away and swatted at his chest, “Jace! What if one of my roommates comes back! They will hear us.”

“Then be quiet,” he mumbled against my neck.

I sighed as his lips trailed over to my marking spot. When he licked and sucked at it, I would get so wet and hot for him.

I gasped as his lips found their desired location, “I don’t think I can be quiet,” I protested.

Jace grinned as he pulled away, “Because I’m a stud!” he exclaimed.

I giggled, “Um hmm. You’re a total s*x stud who makes me scream in delight.”

His lips were back on my skin, “that’s what I thought.” I could feel his grin against my skin while his hand made its way down to my joggers and my panties.

Suddenly, he pulled away, "I want to taste you. Right now. Can't wait."

I blushed, "what?"

Devilishly, he grinned, "you'll see," as he pushed my shirt up and starting kissing down my chest and abdomen. I shivered as his hands caressed the skin at my waist. His tongue swirled around my belly button as his thumbs hooked in my joggers, tugging them down. I giggled because I was ticklish. Jace's head popped up and he grinned at me before his hands slid up and stroked my breasts.

Tangling my fingers in his hair, I pressed my back against the door and closed my eyes, letting the sensations of his actions sweep over me. I felt his warm breath on the front of my panties before they were pulled down and he helped me out of my pants. His hands gripped my hips and I felt his tongue flick across my bud before he licked a line from entrance to clit.

I squealed, "Oh! OH! That feels so good!"

Jace didn't respond and instead I felt this sucking sensation on my bud followed by more licking. HOLY s**t, so good! I moaned, unable to contain myself and pulled Jace's face closer.

His lips went back to sucking, "Yes! There, oh right there. Fvck! s**t! JACE. YESSSSSSS!"

The feelings were so intense, my legs were shaking and I could barely hold myself up. I had no idea oral s*x felt like this! I would have used my high school boyfriend more had I known. Before I knew it, my legs were thrown over Jace's shoulders, my back still pressed against the door as he buried his face in my puzzy.

"Come for me, baby. I want to suck up your juices while you come all over my face." He pushed the dirty talk through our link.

Why was that so hot?!?!?

He went back to doing something magical with his tongue and lips and moments later my org*sm swept over me as I cried out his name, not even trying to be quiet. Carefully, he lowered me down and onto his lap as we sat with our backs to the door. I cuddled into him, resting my head on his shoulder.

"Hmmm. That was nice. I like that. Let's keep that one."

Jace chuckled, "told you that you couldn't be quiet."

I was too blissed out to argue and just cuddled in a little closer.

Jace was so sweet to me and patient. He nurtured my desire and unlocked all sorts of s*xual energy inside me that I didn’t know existed. We were constantly trying new positions and even a toy here and there. I think my favorite, though, was any position where Jace’s body mostly covered mine. I just loved the feel of his naked skin against mine. The tingles made everything so much more intense! Sometimes, Jace got a little rough. My wolf loved it and he would always pull me close and make sure I was ok when we were finished.

I found out I was a big-time cuddler and that pillow talk was really a thing. There was something about the closeness we shared after s*x that lowered our walls and we shared more with each other. I guess it was part of the mate bond. All I know is that I was head over heels in love and in lust with my mate. I didn’t want to be away from him for any length of time.

I particularly enjoyed my new rank as the Beta female in my interactions with Susan Gibson. She paled quite a bit when Jace announced our mating to the pack—which brought me great delight. I was doing everything I could with Aspen to break-up her little clique and offer the Omega’s she “punished” better opportunities. There was a steady line of my Omega friends who made appointments with Aspen and myself to discuss their grievances. Aspen joined me when she could, but she was somewhat preoccupied with figuring out Luna duties and her transition to becoming a full wolf.

Neither of us had any idea there were so many responsibilities. It seemed like Susan Gibson had assumed much of the authority probably while Alpha Maverick was destroying the pack that killed his parents. As he assumed Alpha, he didn’t understand what Susan was doing since he had been away at university in the time prior to becoming Alpha. I took studious notes regarding the Omega’s concerns, the abuses they observed or suffered, and the misuse of pack resources. I was putting together a whole presentation for Alpha Maverick, Jace, and Lia so we could get Susan fired.

A few weeks ago, Jace, Lia, and I were invited to dinner with Alpha Maverick and Aspen in their suite. I had only been to the Alpha floor a few times since Aspen came to the pack, so this was a big treat. Dinner was delicious and afterwards we sat on the attached deck with drinks. Maverick brought up Will’s trial and asked Lia to testify to which she readily agreed.

Next, he turned to me, “Brynn, I am so sorry to ask you this, but would you also be willing to testify. I assure you that Will’s fate is sealed. I’m just tying up the incident for the governing council so Will’s parents can’t create drama. You don’t have to answer tonight. You can think about it.”

I swallowed hard as Jace squeezed my hand. No part of me wanted to testify, but was this part of my new role as Beta female? If I testified, it would be to protect the pack, to help us move on, and fully heal the pack from losing our old Alpha. Will and his parents were a sore spot for all of us. Plus, it would further undermine Susan Gibson since Will’s parents were the ones who convinced our old Luna to promote her. I could never fully understand the decision, but now, seeing things a little bit from the ranked side of the pack, it made a little more sense. Appointing Susan probably kept the peace a bit and made life easier for the Alpha. I would do a lot of things to make life easier for Jace—to ease his burdens. I’m guessing our old Luna felt similarly.

“Thanks for asking, Alpha. Can I think about it?”

Maverick chuckled, “Brynn, you’re the Beta female and mated to my best friend. You can call me Maverick. Of course you can think about it. I was thinking if you testified, I wouldn’t have to ask any of the other Omega’s. Honestly, though. No pressure. Just let me know in a day or two so we can get this ‘trial’ over with.”

I nodded, “You got it Maverick,” and everyone laughed.

After thinking about it and talking it over with my therapist and Jace, I decided to tell my story. A few weeks later, it was the night before the hearing/trial and I was nervous. Jace wasn’t around because he had to entertain the council member who was visiting for the trial. I wanted him. I just wanted to be close to him because his presence was comforting and he somehow knew the right things to say that helped me feel better. Hopefully, he would use his body to distract me. That would work as well.

Maybe Jace felt my tension and stress through the bond, because a few minutes later he walked into the suite. He didn’t even say a word, just walked over to the couch and pulled me into his strong arms. I wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my face in his neck, breathing in his Christmas-y scent.

I hummed, “missed you so much.”

Jace hugged me tighter, “missed you too. You know everything will be fine tomorrow, right? We’re giving Will extra wolfsbane and shackling him with silver. There’s no way he will get loose or hurt you in any way. I won’t allow it.”

“I just want the whole thing to be over.”

Jace kissed my forehead, “what can I do to help you feel better?”

I looked up at him, tangled my fingers in his hair and kissed him. “Help me forget?”

Jace pushed me back on the couch and took my lips aggressively. I growled and kissed him back. We spent hours exploring each other until I passed out in blissful exhaustion wrapped up in Jace’s arms.

I woke up the next morning with a horrible feeling in my stomach, but in the same position and snuggled in for just another minute before I reluctantly got up to shower. Jace joined me and I relished how he washed my hair, my face, and my body. I hugged him close as we stood under the shower head to rinse off. He turned off the water and wrapped a towel around me.

“You know, after today, we should really work on making a pup,” Jace teased as he gave me a little kiss.

I smiled, “I would love that.”

“Maverick linked me last night and told me he was giving us some time off after today so we can take a vacation. Why don’t you start thinking about places you would like to visit.”

“Europe?!”

“Sure, baby. Wherever you want.”

I grinned again, “Thanks for that. Distracting me.”

“Love you, Brynn. This day will be done before you know it.”

We made our way over to the multi-purpose building walking hand-in-hand. The feeling I woke up with was only getting stronger. I couldn’t wait for this day to be over. Taking a deep breath, I focused on the vacation waiting for us and walked in the room where the hearing was being held.

I was up first, as I told my story, I stared steadily at Maverick or Jace or Aspen the whole time. I had practiced many times and fortunately I was able to get through without breaking down. The bastard and his horrible family would not see me cry. Once I was done, I went back and sat next to Jace who wrapped his arm around me.

“You did amazing. I love you so much,” he linked me as Lia started in on everything else that happened that day. I didn’t want to hear what Lia was saying. It was too fresh and too raw, so I tuned her out and started dreaming about our vacation. We were definitely going to Europe. I always wanted to travel but the opportunity hadn’t presented itself. I was dying to see Austria and Switzerland for sure. I would have to look at a map and figure out how much time we had before I planned other countries. Maybe we could swing through northern Italy or something.

Dr. Fagan was up next and I similarly tuned her out. Jace kept linking me a mix of sexy time ideas and vacation plans to distract me. I almost giggled out loud a few times because he was getting more and more ridiculous, but the distraction worked. Soon, Maverick announced a short break. As we gathered back, Maverick asked for Will’s justification. There was no way I was going to listen to a word that bastard said. Suddenly, I found Will’s presence suffocating and I couldn’t take being in the same room as him for another minute, so I fled. I didn’t want anyone to see my tears. I was the Beta female now, not just an Omega, and I didn’t want anyone to witness my moment of weakness. I hid in one of the unused rooms towards the back of the building.

After a minute, I heard Aspen’s voice, “Brynn? Are you ok?”

I sniffled, “yes?” with a catch in my throat.

Aspen walked right up me and we hugged. She didn’t say anything, just held me close as I cried into her shoulder. After a while, she whispered, “I’m so proud of you. You did so good today and now it’s done. He can never hurt you again. I think you’re one of the bravest people I’ve ever known.”

I pulled back and sniffled again, “I didn’t feel brave.”

“Doesn’t matter. I don’t think anyone ever feels brave. You did it and that’s what makes you exceptional.” Aspen squeezed my hands, “Stay here as long as you need. Things are just about finished and you should be able to slip out without anyone noticing.” I nodded and reached for a tissue to blow my nose.

I stayed in the room and stared out the window for a while until I heard a loud commotion followed by a loud boom. I felt a jolt of pain and knew it was Jace. I tore out of the multi-purpose room to find the hallway filled with smoke. Sophia pushed forward and we used our enhanced senses to find Jace. He was slumped against the doorway with blood dripping from his shoulder. Once I got close, I could smell his burned flesh. His wound looked terrible and I blanched at the thought that he was injured. I wrapped my arm around his waist and threw his other arm around my shoulder to support him.

“C’mon Jace. We’ve got to get out of here.” He looked disoriented.

“Byrnn? Why are you here? It’s not safe,” he mumbled, “have to keep mate safe.”

I could tell it was half him and half his wolf. Suddenly Morris was by me, “Need a hand?”

“Yes! Something is wrong with Jace. We have to get him to the clinic!” I was on the verge of panic now, but doing my best to keep it at bay.

Jace was freaking heavy so Morris traded places with me and supported Jace as we made our way out the back of the building away from the smoke and flames. We half dragged Jace to the clinic and I yelled for Dr. Fagan as soon as we hit the doors. She came running and we headed down the hallway to a back room. In that moment, I was so grateful for all of Aspen’s wound training. I stopped and quickly grabbed a bunch of the supplies we would need to help Jace feel better before following them to the exam room.

I was shocked to see Aspen covered in blood on one of the exam beds with Maverick. She insisted Dr. Fagan tend to Jace first and I was so grateful. We pulled him into the shower to decontaminate him from the silver powder. Morris had some on him as well, so he left us to go shower himself. Fortunately, I couldn’t feel any on me. We got Jace cleaned up and I could tell his wolf was already healing him.

“How come you’re not naked in the shower with me?” he teased, before he groaned as Dr. Fagan slathered something on his shoulder.

I blushed, “Hush! You got hurt. I’m taking care of you.” Jace gave me a little smile before he hissed in pain. I stifled a growl, knowing Dr. Fagan was just doing her job, but not liking the fact that my mate was suffering. Sophia was pissed in my head and she wanted her revenge towards whoever hurt our mate. We helped Jace to the other bed in the exam room and continued to fix up his wound. Once we were finished, Dr. Fagan told me to stay close to him so our bond could speed his healing process. Like I would go anywhere. I curled up next to his good side and hugged him tight, while he rested. We were going to spend the night in the clinic so

Dr. Fagan could make sure Jace didn’t experience any side effects from the silver power or his burn. Ivy was there and gave me a relieved little wave as she ran off to help with something.

Once Aspen and Jace were fixed up, they compared stories before Aspen and Maverick left. I couldn’t believe Aspen killed Will’s dad! That was so bad ass. My heart almost exploded with pride when I heard how Jace saved some of my Omega friends and got everyone out of the building. If we had been alone, and he wasn’t so injured, there’s no question that I would have jumped him and had my way with him. As it was, I was seriously aroused and I knew when Jace caught on because he looked at me with a naughty little smirk.

Shortly, we were alone. I sat up and stroked Jace’s face, “Thank the Goddess that you’re ok. I felt your pain for a minute and I completely panicked. I can’t lose you, Jace. I love you so much. I love you.” I leaned forward and gave him a soft little kiss. He looked at me and grinned, “So it basically took me almost dying to get a confession of love from you,” he teased. I rolled my eyes, “I guess I haven’t said the words out loud, but I know you know how much I love you.”

Jace’s eyes softened and he pulled me back down for another sweet kiss, “I love you too, Brynn. I think I have for my whole life, and if my shoulder didn’t hurt like a b!tch, I would demonstrate exactly how much.”

I smiled and snuggled in close until we fell asleep, exhausted from the day.
