The Werewolf Order (Erotica)

She recovered quickly as Jessie stepped back into my arms. “It’s all right, you were busy yourself. I’m so glad you made it through, and you’re a wolf and you have your mate!”

Jessie looked up at me with a smile, then she thanked her and went to greet his parents and finally the Kstovo Alphas. “I’m so happy to see you, I’ll never be able to repay you for the kindness you showed me when I was in trouble.”

Marina smiled and pulled Jessie into a hug. “We’re so proud of you, everything you have done since we met have proven it was worth it all. You also brought our Mischa her mate, and that is something I’ll never forget.”

I was an afterthought, and so were the Council members. I led Jessie back to the table as they went through the rest of the welcomes. “I hope we can spend some time with them,” she said as we sat down again.

“Probably not tonight, though,” I replied. “We still don’t know for sure what the Council wants.”

“With Patrick and Mischa here, and him being a Beta in the Moscow Pack now, I figure they want a decision on what I want to do with my birthright Pack.”

“We should talk about this, there are options. You are my mate, you could come with me to Scotland and take a place at my side there. We could take over the Moscow Pack together. Or we could stay here with the St. Croix Pack, I’m sure they would let us.”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“I wish they’d just give me time to adjust. I’ve not been aware of any of this until recently, I just got witch powers and a wolf, and I know very little about Pack life. Being Alphas right now, with a baby coming, I don’t know if I can handle it.” Her shoulders slumped, I could see how she wasn’t confident in herself the way I saw her.

“We can tell them that, they will understand. You are a rich woman, you don’t need to do anything you don’t want,” I said. It was true, she had the half of the money Yuri paid to get her killed, a hundred and fifty million in cash and properties, and she was soon to inherit a lot more from her father’s estate.

As the plates were removed and replaced with a turtle cheesecake or chocolate cake with ice cream, Alpha Sven stood up, his fork clinking his glass, and the room quickly went silent. “As host of this gathering, I would like to thank each of you for attending the trials. The cooperation among our Packs and the and guidance of the two Councils proves again why our form of governance is both just and needed. Threats to our Packs have been eliminated, and new friends and alliances have been formed in these past few days.” He paused as the room erupted in applause. “I know some of you have to travel, and buses and drivers are being arranged for those who need it. Those who are staying the night, I would invite you to join my Pack for a run. We’ll start at ten PM behind the Pack House.” This was greeted with cheers, since Pack runs were always fun and built bonds.

He let things settle, then pulled Linnea up next to him. “We also have an announcement.”

Linnea smiled widely and said, “I’M PREGNANT!” That got a standing ovation.

We finished our desserts and made our escape, needing to see the Pack Doctor before it got too late. We were greeted warmly at the clinic, her healing magic had helped many survive or recover faster. “Can you see Jessie for a moment?”

The doctor sent us to an exam room, and one of the nurses took my vitals which were all normal. The doctor came in a few minutes later as Jessie sat on the exam table. “What can I do for you? Still feeling weak?”

“John thinks I’m pregnant,” she said.

“Well, that’s an easy one,” he said as he reached into a cabinet and withdrew a test. “There’s a bathroom there, pee on the stick and wait three minutes. I’ll be back in a minute to take a blood test.”

He stepped out, and Jessie went into the bathroom and took the test. She came back out, sitting on my lap. “I can’t sit there and wait three minutes,” she said as I pulled her head onto my chest.

“It’s all going to work out, love. I know you’re scared, I am too, but if we are having a child I’ll be the happiest man around, and you’ll be an amazing mother.” I watched the clock, letting her know when the time was up. “Come on, let’s find out,” I said as I helped her up.

I walked behind her into the small room, her hand shaking as she held it up. Two lines. “It’s positive,” she said. “I’m pregnant!”

She turned and buried her face in my chest, her arms squeezing me. “I love you, Jessie.”

“Marry me then.”

I laughed, I was planning to shop for a ring as soon as we got back to the Cities. “I think it’s tradition that I ask you, so at least give me a chance to do things right,” I said.

“Fine, but don’t take too long.” I wouldn’t.

Council Chair Robert’s POV

Francois and I sat at the conference table with the other European and American council members filling the chairs, watching Patrick lead Mischa out of the room. I waited until the door closed before I turned to my European counterparts. “I see what you saw in them, they are impressive,” I said.

“They have all the potential to be a fine Alpha pair. Her bloodline is solid, and he has Alpha blood as well, though not direct,” Francois said.

“He’s doing better than I expected in the Moscow Pack,” Javier said. “Mischa has grown up knowing she might be a Luna, and is well trained for the position. Once they are mated, I would vote in favor of them being given a Pack. He will not stand in the way of Jessie taking her birthright, but if she passes on it, that would be the Pack I would want him to have.”

“And if Jessie wants Moscow, we might have to use him to pick up the pieces in St. Petersburg,” Francois said. “The Pack felt the bond with Yuri break. He hasn’t been found yet, but the Pack is with his mate Natasha. I don’t think she is ready, and Anatoly is only five.”

“I don’t want a caretaker Alpha, and Yuri has destroyed that Pack with his mob ties,” Javier said. “I would rather have a stable Alpha pair in place to help that Pack heal.”

I nodded, unable to understand how an Alpha of a large Pack was also a feared mob boss. “So, we just have to know which one.” I had my own headaches. The Iron Range Pack was without an Alpha, and we didn’t see anyone there capable of stepping up. The Pack was too far from Alpha Sven’s pack to merge without the members having to move, and most weren’t willing. The Beta had requested my assistance in finding a new Alpha pair. “I don’t know much about Jessie and John, what do you think they’ll do?”

“I don’t know, but they’re here,” I said. I went to bring them in, introducing them to each of the Council members before sitting them at the center of the table. “Thank you for coming in. Before we begin, I want to express my gratitude on behalf of the American and European councils for your help in rescuing Alpha Linnea and repelling the attackers,” I said. “You have both proven your strength, fighting ability and courage to us all.”

“Thank you, sir,” John said.

“We just did what we needed to protect the Packs,” Jessie added.

“And that is one reason we all believe you will make a fine Alpha pair,” Francois said. “What we wanted to talk to you about is where that might happen.”

“The Moscow Pack was your fathers, say the word and it’s yours,” Javier said. “Patrick and Mischa have already agreed to step aside, and no others will stand in your way if you want it.”

“What will happen to them if I take Moscow,” Jessie asked.

“They will be given another Pack elsewhere.”

She looked at her mate, then nodded. “We would request that Patrick and Mischa be given the Moscow Pack.” Jaws around the room dropped, it was a large and prestigious Pack to be turning down. “No offense, but John and I have talked about this. We have no connection with that Pack, and I never knew my rapist father. I’m going to take his money, because I can use it for good, but I’m not ready to be Alpha and I know those two will do a good job. Mischa will have her parents to help and a strong ally on her Eastern border, and her presence will settle the Pack.”

Francois leaned back, thinking before he spoke. “What about the St. Petersburg Pack?”

“I have no interest in that pack, either. I planned to return the properties I bought from Yuri when he was having his fire sales, and Patrick can take half the money to get things running in Moscow. It was never my money, not really; it was a way of bleeding Yuri dry. The surviving Pack members shouldn’t have to suffer and lose their property because their Alpha was a bad man.”

“That’s very generous of you,” Javier said. “So what will you do?”

“We need to finish the case in the Moscow court, then we are returning to Minnesota to have our baby,” she said with a wide smile as John kissed her cheek. “This is my home, we are going to ask Alpha Stan to let us stay with him.”

“If I may make another suggestion,” I asked. “Do you like this area?”

“Of course, Alpha Sven has been a good friend to us and we love the lake country,” John said.

“Take over the Iron Range Pack now that Alpha Michael is gone. You’ll have Sven as your neighbor, you’ll stay in Minnesota, and you will bring strength and stability to a Pack that is reeling from their Alpha’s betrayal right now.”

They looked at each other, talking over their bond. Finally, John spoke as Jessie fought back a yawn. “We are interested, but we cannot commit now. Things need to settle down first.”

“Of course,” I said. “After you return from Russia, we can arrange a visit, let you meet the Pack and see the territory. The Beta will just have to run things until you decide.”
