Beta

Chapter 5

The smell of sloppy joes and the unique scent of Jaxon's pack invaded my nose as I carried my full tray to my pack's lunch table. His table made disgusted noises at Nixon whenever they got the chance. I settled my own hateful glare at each of them and growled protectively. "Ameri?!" Jaxon growled as if to tell me to watch it.
My pack growled at him addressing me in such a way "It's Beta, to you and I'd appreciate it if you would tell your friends over there to stop harassing my sister." I spat making his pack uncomfortable with my death glare.
Jaxon looked between Nixon and I "I'll talk to them about that my apologizes, beta." I nodded my approval and sat back down to eat.
"You do love me!" Nixon grinned matching my own "How could I not you're kind of awesome." the tension in my pack dissolved when Nixon let out her rare beautiful laugh. Suddenly I couldn't see anything and warmth cascaded my ear "Guess who?" Court asked still covering my eyes.
"Orlando blue is that you??" I mocked playfully. Court chuckled removing his hands from my eyes.
"No but close, only I'm hotter." he replied.
I pulled his collar down so we were only inches apart. "Hhmm you'll have to do." I teased before I leaned into his perfect kiss that lasted until someone coughed uncomfortably from behind Court. "I came to um apologize for my pack's behavior again." Jaxon coughed looking from me to the ground. A spark of unease erupted in my core.
"It's okay, it's all good." I rushed to console him. Why should I care about his feelings? He never gave me a chance to be his mate or Luna.
"Wait what happened? How did you behave?" Court narrowed his eyes at Jaxon, his chest started to heave.
"It's nothing I handled it, Court please calm down." I placed my hand on his arm. My wolf reached for his and thankfully made a connection.
Court slowed his breathing and closed his eyes then opened them "I just hate the thought of someone bothering my mate and my pack." he said but I knew he was warning Jaxon and his pack. "I'm sorry, we meant no harm." Jaxon bowed his head and turned to walk back to his table.
"Jaxon wait, we uh we're planning a welcoming party at my house tonight. It's for your pack." I couldn't bring myself to look at him.
"Okay we'll be there by seven if that's okay?" He waited for Court's approval. Court nodded and turned to me dismissing Jaxon back to his pack table.
"Dude we really gotta work on that anger management of yours." Nixon said to Court, she forked beans into her mouth then grimaced and swallowed roughly "Right after I sue this school for health problems due to this food." I smiled and almost died when she shoved her plate towards Vince who happily accepted her food.
"Oh that reminds me here you go." Court said handing her a brown paper bag from his bag. "It's for accompanying my dad and the kids to the other territories we now co-own." We waited in anticipation as she opened her gift.
She cried out in delight as she stared in awe at her blood red diamond ring and necklace. "Court..this is too much I can't accept these." She tried to push them back towards him. "I got them as I gift for you. You can accept them because family gets family gifts and you are apart of this pack so you are family." he reasoned with her bringing joy to my heart. I watched as she slid on her new jewelry.
"You gotta keeper there beta." she smiled still admiring her gifts.
"I do don't I." I leaned my head against his shoulder.
"Hhmm I think you do." Court mumbled against my cheek giving it a gentle kiss.

After school I rode home on the back of Court's motorcycle. "Your motorcycle lesson will have to be tomorrow." Court said taking off his helmet when we parked in the garage beside Vince's motorcycle.
"Okay." I replied taking off my own helmet and climbed off the death machine.
We stepped out of the way so Nixon could park where we stood.
Her tiny form is so cute on the massive bike, she looks even smaller.
"I'll just leave you two alone then.." Court teased turning to leave.
"Noo no no you have to help me pick out an outfit for tonight!" I pleaded making the puppy dog face.
"Stay in a room where my woman is changing and showing me her sexy clothes?..Let's go!" He took my hand and tugged me into the house.

"Where do you find the time to do your homework?!" Court asked from the bedroom while I changed in the bathroom.
"I just do it at school or sometimes I do some while you sleep." I answered flipping my hair through the collar of the white nirvana shirt I found hiding in my closet. I pulled on a pair of dark faded jeggings and my dark-grey lace up boots.
"I'm ready this is the last one. Then you can decide out of all six outfits which one you like best." I announced before stepping out of the bathroom and into the vision of my super sexy boyfriend.
"Damn..this one." He eyed me up and down. "Definitely..come here." He captured me with his lust filled eyes. "Pops has the kids for the evening so we could kill some time before the party." He nuzzled me onto his lap.
"I think I know a couple of ways to make the time go faster." I lowered my voice and trailed my fingers down his hair tugging at a few strands.
"Can we cancel the party? Nix promised I'd get you all night." He managed to pant out through kissing down my collarbone, he kissed my mark and chuckled when I trembled lustfully on his lap.
"As much as I love this outfit it has got to go." He said moving each side of my shirt over my breast then my hair. Thank goodness I put on my black Victoria secret lingerie.
I was overwhelmed by the desire to be close to him. I pushed myself closer to him and wrapped my arms around him which he returned. I felt the relief of pressure on my upper back then realized what he had done.
"Did you just unhook my bra..with one hand?" I asked leaning out so I could see the mischievous glint in his eyes.
"I might have." He laughed, before he knew it he was on his back and I was too far gone with desire to stop my roaming hands. He simply laid his hands on my hips and let me find his mark that I made a year after we met. I've never been this wild and straight forward I have no idea where this is coming from and I'm kinda scared. He tightened his grip on my hips when I licked his mark sending a sexual shiver through his whole body.
"I wouldn't do that again if you have any plans to attend the party tonight." He said sounding conflicted. His wolf must be scratching to take over and devour me.
"Okay." I leaned back down to his mark and kissed it oh so softly much like a butterfly kiss.
He groaned and pulled our bodies closer placing my hips on his, using my hips he grinded his pelvis causing friction in his pants.
My body heat kicked up ten notches it felt like I was going to explode from the amount of lust he was igniting in me.
"We can't! What if someone comes in?" I voiced out loud.
He ran his hand through my soft brown hair "I'll just have to kill them." He smirked bringing my face to his for an earth shattering kiss. His every touch is utterly perfect but I can not get enough of his kisses especially when he kisses like his life depends on it.
"Oh gosh.." I moaned through his lips.
We both knew there is no stopping us now. I reached down between our bodies and fumbled to undo his belt and zipper "These are coming off." I smirked ducking down so I could unzip his zipper with my teeth. He took that as time for him to discard his black shirt. I straddled him again to resume our steamy kiss while he kicked his pants all the way off and to a heap on the floor.
"Better." I moaned when I felt his member on my inner thigh.
"Off with yours." He smirked his eyes completely blood red with desire for my body, for me. He had no problem unbuttoning my pants.
"Beta! I need－" Nixon barged in then noticed us frozen on my bed half naked.
"Well shit.." She turned red from embarrassment and tried to back out into the hall again.
"No wait nix." I gave court a kiss then got off of him and fixed my pants and threw on my shirt. Before I left the room to follow nix I mind linked court ~We will continue this tonight.~.
"I need your help on choosing my outfit." She said purposely avoiding the topic of what she just walked in on.
She had two outfits laid out on the end of her bed. One was (shocking!) a little black dress and the other was just a pair of denim shorts and a white shirt that had the words No Hate written in bright red font.
"I love that." I pointed to the shorts outfit.
"Add your cute black rose patterned pantyhose and your black laced up boots." I grinned seeing her rock that outfit in my head.
"Great idea!!" She speed ran to her dresser to look for her pantyhose and had them on in literally a blink of an eye. She walked back to the edge of the bed and pulled on the shorts.
"So you and court seem to have um evolved." She giggled while tugging her shirt on.
"I swear you're a child at heart." I grumbled my cheeks warming up at the mere thought of court still in my room changing, naked.
"I'm just saying you both deserve to be happy after Claire and your dumbass of a mate, you two are perfect." She smiled brightly, I realized then that I never told her who my mate was and that he is, Jaxon Conner, Alfa of the watergate pack.
"Nix I need to tell you something it's very important." I rushed watching her face turn from happy to nervous all at once.
"What is it?" She asked, I did not want to shatter her vision of court and I.
"It's nothing..it's not that important." I sighed reprimanding myself for not having the guts to admit that Jaxon was my mate.
"Uhh that's good then, but you should really pair that with a leather jacket." She strode to her closet and produced a sleeveless, studded leather jacket.
"Oh it's perfect!" She gushed when I had it on and admired myself in her full body mirror.
"Bring it over here hot stuff!" Trixie cat called wiggling her eyebrows from the doorway.
"Dammn! Vince is going to drool over you!" I examined her barely fitting red dress that hugged all of her curves.
"Oh that big loaf of jock..nah." She blushed looking at the floor trying to shield her blush from me.
I chuckled at her adorableness and decided not to push the subject any longer. Trixie and Vince will admit their love for each other on their own. We are still young after all.
"They're here!!" Lisa mind-linked everyone. I applied a small amount of lip stick on and proceeded with Nixon and Trixie downstairs to the main hall.
"Oh good Beta you're here." Court held a forced smile upon seeing me descend the stairs and walking towards him.
"What is it?" I asked concerned by the irate look he was giving the members of the watergate pack.
"We'll have a few more house guest this evening dear." He gritted out watching Jaxon stare him down with a bored expression. Seriously why did fate pair me with that asshole?
"It's fine, come here." I fixed my gaze to his as he walked to stand in front of me. "My room..later." I whispered seductively wrapping my arms around him to hug him close to elude suspicion. Wouldn't want my ex mate in my love life. "Definitely." He whispered back giving my ear a nibble that caused me to giggle and squirm in his arms.
"Okay." I turned back to our packs "When are the others going to be arriving?" The girl named Marceline stepped forth to answer me.
"In about twenty minutes or so." She said shyly looking anywhere but at me.
"Thank you. I say we start the party." I led them to our family room that would serve as the dance floor. Lisa and her worker wolves moved all the furniture to the empty storage room before the watergate pack arrived.
The party soon was at full blast with music and strobe lights. I lost court in the crowd before I knew it but I didn't mind I love getting lost in the music. I closed my eyes and let the music move me although everywhere I swayed I felt the bumps and nudges of bodies I kept feeling the music.
The song Rather Be began to beat loudly a smile crept onto my face this is a great song. I sung along and danced with I'm pretty sure a member of the watergate pack but if we are going to be allies I better start making friends.
I was sweating by the fourth song so I made my way to the kitchen for a drink. I pulled a water bottle from our hidden mini fridge.
"The Luna of the Beckon pack can dance." Cason said from the kitchen counter. I hopped up beside him and took a swig of my ice cold water.
"Thanks." I blushed twisting the top onto the water.
"I can see why Alfa Jaxon likes you." He sighed staring straight ahead. I gave him a questioning look but he said nothing.
"I'm with Court." Was all that I could think to say.
"I know that and he knows that but don't you see the way he looks at you? It's not the way he looks at Phoebe I can tell you that." He finally turned his hazel gaze to me.
"Can we not talk about him, please." He nodded and we just sat and watched the packs we fit into having the time of their lives.
"I'm glad you threw this party for us we really needed something to lift our spirits." He took a long swig of his can of Mountain Dew.
"No problem. I must admit I like having you over, you all are a lot of fun." I replied he chuckled then looked into the crowd of people.
"Our guest are here." He turned to me placing his can on the counter.
He took my hand and helped me off the counter "I gotta go find Court." I yelled to be heard he nodded in response and headed to where his pack members were crowding. I went in search for court, then thought about our promise to meet up in my room tonight. He could be ditching the party to wait on me.
I smiled to myself and ascended the stairs to my room.
