Chapter 1068 Alpha Violet and Alpha Ashton (9)

Chapter 1068  Alpha Violet and Alpha Ashton (9)

Ashton looked at Violet, and he didn't want to sound insecure, but he wanted her to know one thing.

"I'm not saying that you would go to Ethan. But if he dares to get chummy with you…" Ashton ended with a deep growl full of warning that was charged with his Alpha aura. If this were anyone else, they would bow in submission, but this was Violet, and Ashton asserting his dominance turned her on.

His nostrils flared when he picked up the scent of her arousal. They were horny for each other most of the time, but knowing she wanted him just as much, enhanced his confidence that they were meant to be together.

"Ash," Violet called.

"Yes, Vi?"

"My bed never had a man on it. Do you want to be the first?"

Ashton grinned. "And last."

"That toOOOOOO!" Her last word became a shriek when Ashton picked her up in his arms.

She knew where this was going, but the lust that came through their bond still caught her by surprise.

Ashton put her on the bed and started tugging on her clothes.

"Wait. Wait!" Violet cried.

"What?" Why was she stopping him?

"The door. Can you lock it? Just in case…"

Before she could finish that thought, Ashton moved like the wind, locked the door, and he was back on top of her.

"Where were we?" He asked.

Violet smiled coyly. "My mate was about to claim me."

Ashton's insides shook. She knew exactly what he was about to do, and she had no objections. It was more than that because she had the power to fight him for dominance, yet she wanted him to claim her. She was submitting to him willingly. Violet Blake was the perfect female. For him. Only for him.

Ashton was never so happy. Or horny.

…

Officially, the party was supposed to start half an hour ago, but people were gathering for more than two hours.

The high-ranking members of the Dark Howlers and the Midnight Guardians pack were in the event hall. Delegations from several other packs were there as well. The garden and the forest around the packhouse were filled with other pack members sitting on blankets, benches, and chairs they brought themselves. They had picnic tables, and some just sat on the grass and ate from plates they were holding. Several bonfires reached higher than the packhouse, and people danced around them.

Everyone came with food and drinks, and they sat in cheery groups as laughter, singing, and the scent of grilled meat filled the air. Some were wearing fancy clothes, while others came in t-shirts and sweatpants like they just shifted from their wolf forms and were wearing the backup clothes their pack had in strategic locations. The whole mood was casual and festive, and Luna Michelle couldn't believe that they managed to organize all this in only two days.

Luna Michelle and Talia were standing on the terrace overlooking the garden. They could see there were hundreds of people present, but since the forest obstructed her view, there was no way to estimate the number of attendees accurately.

"I thought this would be a small party," Luna Michelle told Talia while looking around.

"What's a small party?" Talia asked.

"Fifty people? A hundred?" A hundred was a lot, in Luna Michelle's opinion.

"We have more than a hundred only in the event hall. People are excited to celebrate their future Alpha finding her mate. I estimate several thousand people outside." And they were still coming.

"Several thousand?" Luna Michelle's eyes were open in surprise.

"You don't know Mindy. She is good as my Beta, but her secret talent is being a party organizer."

Luna Michelle pursed her lips. This whole thing was on a different level than what they had at the Spring Leaf pack. Also, Luna Michelle didn't have her Beta. She had a few Omegas helping her manage the packhouse and matters related to the pack like ensuring everyone had shelter, food, and clothes, but that was it. Alpha Christian had his Beta, but they would deal with warriors and supplies, and not with things like parties. For that, she was on her Luna Michelle wanted to ask if Violet could take on such responsibility, but she guessed it would be disrespectful, so she own.

"Will Vi have her Betas?" Luna Michelle asked.

"Yes," Talia responded right away. "There is no way she could handle her duties otherwise. She will be the Alpha of the Dark Howlers and the Midnight Guardians pack and the head of the coalition. As such, she will have the responsibility to deal with matters related to witches, guardians, and humans, and then there are things like this one." Talia spread her arms, gesturing at the party.

Luna Michelle wanted to ask if Violet could take on such responsibility, but she guessed it would be disrespectful, so she moved on to her next question.

"Does she know who her Beta will be?"

"It will be me." A voice came from the side.

Talia smiled at Lavender. "Did Vi confirm it?"

Lavender shrugged. "I am the best candidate. I know it, you know it, and if Vi doesn't know it, she is not as smart as I give her credit for."

Luna Michelle's eyes flashed. "Is that the way to speak about your future Alpha?"

Lavender raised her chin proudly. "A good Beta won't shy from speaking her mind. If I sit in the corner quietly and wait to be picked, noisemakers will get ahead of me." Lavender looked in the direction where Scarlet, Robin, and Page were. "I am the obvious choice."

"Of course, you are, dear," Talia said dotingly. "Are Vi and Ash down yet?"

Lavender shook her head. "Nope."

Luna Michelle turned to Talia. "Should we call them down?"

Talia refused. "We shouldn't disturb the newly mated couple." She was with Damon for two decades, and he would still blow a fuse when someone interrupted their lovey-dovey time.

Luna Michelle thought this was unacceptable, but she couldn't speak openly in front of Talia, so she asked carefully, "Won't guests be upset if Vi and Ash come down late?"

"Upset?" Talia asked. "Who would dare to say anything when Damon is in the house? Besides, they are getting free food and drinks, and look at them having fun without our kids around."

Lavender nodded in agreement. "If Vi and Ash are not ready to mingle, they will be in a bad mood or just stick to each other, and we don't want any of those two." Lavender spotted her cousins from the Blue River pack arriving. "Excuse me, ladies."

"Vi is lucky to have friends like that," Luna Michelle said.

Talia agreed. "Yes, she is."

"Can they be trusted with serious matters?"

Talia smiled. "Their generation is full of talented individuals. They have a lot to learn, but they will figure it out eventually."

Talia will never forget how empty the packhouse was when Damon brought her the first time. He didn't have many people to help him lead the pack, and he didn't trust anyone. She was happy that Violet had her brothers, cousins, and many friends, and Talia knew, without a doubt, that none of them were malicious. Sure, they had their quirks and issues, but that was typical for teenagers who were yet to find their place in society.

Talia came to this packhouse as an insecure female who was not worthy of being an Omega, yet now everyone looked at her and Damon like they were in charge of everything.

She was confident that Violet and her generation were on the right path. As long as they stick together, they will keep each other in check, and none of them will stray into the darkness. That was all it mattered.
