Jason’s Pov
my
second time
The terrain changed the closer we got to the jade wolf pack. Killian’s pack. This would be visiting here. I came once with my dad when I was twelve. Now, it just looked unfamiliar to me.
We arrived at the border of Killian’s territory and we met vigilant guards. They looked like Carlton’s size, but moved with such quietness that rivalled ninjas. They escorted us through the dense forest to the heart of the pack. The atmosphere crackled with tension, an aura of suspicion and rivalry hanging in the
air.
Killian is a stern and shrewd Alpha. One that people hardly see, but his reputation for how he treated trespassers and rogues had spread far and wide. He awaited our arrival. I had to leave the two guards I came with outside and walked in only with Josh.
As we stepped into his office, his piercing gaze bore into me, a calculated display of authority and scrutiny. “Jason,” Killian greeted, his tone cool and guarded.
“Killian,” I responded with measured respect, carefully hiding the distrust I felt. “Shall we” he spread his hands acre the table.
The negotiation for the treaty commenced, but Killian was proving to be a tough negotiator, his demands becoming more irrational the more we negotiated.
He scrutinised every clause, raised pointed questions, and challenged the proposal I worked on with Luke last night.
“I am not convinced that your pack is committed to upholding these terms,” Killian remarked, his skepticism palpable.
It was getting harder to maintain my composure. I’m aware of the delicate balance between assertiveness and diplomacy required in such negotiations, a lesson Dad taught me.
I took a deep breath and addressed his concerns, presenting evidence of his pack’s dedication to the proposed terms and emphasising the mutual benefits of the alliance.
“I will never go back on a promise.” I said “if we do this, we are both signing to be there for each other if the time ever comes.” I said for nth time.
“Maverick’s coming. He won’t hold back fire just because you are innocent” I said “he’s not after me, he’s after your mate and your pack. I could always tell him where to find her” he shrugged
“But you won’t.” I countered “what makes you so sure?” he said leaning forward “you don’t bend to anyone’s demands easily” we share a look, fusing our auras and asserting dominance.
The negotiations stretched into the night, the air thick with tension and a struggle for compromise. Killian’s unyielding stance tested Jason’s patience and diplomacy, but the alpha remained steadfast, determined to secure an agreement that would benefit both packs.
“You ask for much, Jason, yet offer little in return,” Killian remarked, his voice laden with skepticism. “You ask for much, Jason, yet offer litle in

into my mind. I offer compromises and adjust the terms to meet his concerns without compromising my pack’s integrity. If he wasn’t going to take the deal then we’d leave right now.
After hours of arduous negotiation and strategic discourse, Killian’s demeanor softened. “I like your
“how about persistence Jason. It’s commendable. You know most people would have given up.” He said we find a common ground” he looked past me to Josh. A look flash across his eyes before they disappear.
“I’m fine with that,” I said, releasing a weary sigh. He’s finally conceding, albeit reluctantly. “We shall sign this treaty, but be warned–it’s a fragile accord,” he warned, his tone still guarded “I won’t fight a losing battle. When your scouts get back and you’ve come up with a plan, send a message to me”
Despite the gruelling negotiations, I felt a sense of relief and accomplishment. “You’ll be in the loop of things” I said and we both signed and shook hands.
It’s late now, I couldn’t wait to see Ares and sink into her warm welcoming softness. It’s been a long day. Apart from Killian being difficult, this went better than I expected.
As we departed from Killian’s territory, the moon casting its gentle glow upon the forest, I knew the journey ahead would be challenging.
However, we just took the first step in this long game. He must have heard about the destruction Maverick’s doing Josh said beside me “I know,” I replied “Killian might be shrewd, but I doubt he’d put his pack it danger just to appease his sadistic side
“At least he didn’t make us duel one of his guys like he does to the other packs. I know that’s why you brought me along instead of Luke” he said “I brought you along because I needed Luke to remain at the pack and Ares wanted me to bring you along to ease her mind”
We don’t speak the rest of the drive back. I found Lyla in the common room as I entered. “Umm. Lyla” I called walking towards her and she turned to me “I was wondering if you could perform a ritual for us?” I asked
“It depends. What kind of ritual am I performing? If it’s necromancy, then I would have to refuse” she said “if I wanted to perform necromancy I would have done that since,” I joked “I need you to perform a ritual for Ares and I. We can give you the details when you are ready”
“Okay. How about tomorrow night” “that’s okay. Thanks. Good night”
“Good night”
I walk into the room to find her already sleeping. I fight a mental battle with myself about waking her up or not. I decided on the latter. I tuck her in properly before leaning in to kiss her forehead and head to the bathroom. I had to wash away the stress of the day Talking to Killian was a mental battle. One that wasn’t exactly pleasurable.
The sliding door halts my movement. I turned to see Ares coming in. Naked. My body reacted instantly.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you” I said wiping the water from my face “I know. I was trying to stay up.” She replied “why?” I asked, turning to face her fully. “Luke told me how manipulative Killian can
be and I was worried”
I turned off the shower, giving her my undivided attention. “You don’t have to worry about me.” “1 can’t help it,” she whispered.

Her words lit the fire of desire I was trying to quench. kissed her deeply and lifted her up and placed.

was flushed pink, her nipples
her on the counter. I watch every part of her in utter adoration. Her skid lifted her up and placed
hard from the cold. She was wet and ready for me. She wanted this as much as I did.
“You’re beautiful” she looked at me with a lustful gaze and love. I think it’s love. There’s no other words. to describe how she looks at me. I leaned in and kissed her, reaching my hands between us down to stroke her clit. She moaned into my mouth with each stroke.
I detach my lips from her as I kiss down her neck and nibble on the mate mark. Her breath hitches and I know she’s close. I curl my fingers inside her “cum for me, beautiful” I whispered and she came apart on my fingers. Saying my name over and over again until she settled.
“We’re not d
done yet” I said, lifting her up and she wrapped her legs around my waist as I carried her back to the bedroom. I laid her down as gently as possible before I ate her out. I lapped at every juice she released and relished in every moan of pleasure she produced from her lips until she came undone on my tongue.
I was leaking precum at the beautiful sight. Painfully hard now. “Jason p–please” she stuttered “use your words baby” “I need you” she said breathlessly
I lifted her and place properly at the centre of the bed. I rub my entire length against her. Using her juices as lube before slowly entering her. The moan she releases pleases my sadistic side.
I wait for her to adjust and pull back out. All the way to the tip before thrusting again. Eliciting another moan. I pick up the pace with each thrust and she starts screaming underneath me. I reach down and stroke her clit without stopping my movement.
In. Out. In. Out, I don’t stop until she’s clenching around me and cum in a turrent of pleasure and I follow after her. We repeat the action a few more times and only stop after she passes out in exhaustion,
I cleaned us up and changed the sheets before settling in behind her to sleep.
