Luke.
I woke up and found Tia reading by my side. I managed to sit up. When I saw the mark on her neck, I smiled, realising I had not dreamed it up. “Good afternoon, Luke,” she said and smiled at me, and I looked around.
“You slept through the night, into the morning. Your father linked me several times. I told him I will tell him when you are awake.” She said, and I frowned at her.
“Did he tell you why?” I asked, and she shook her head. I pulled her close, kissed her, and then kissed my mark on her neck.
“Mine,” I said, and she giggled and kissed her mark on my neck. “Mine too,” she said, and I kissed her and breathed her in. I did not want to leave her, but I had to see my father.
I went to shower, got dressed, and headed to the right-wing. On my way, I found Monica in my wing. I was very uncomfortable and angry. She wasn’t dressed modestly either. The girl looked too much like Stacy.
“What are you doing in this wing?” I asked her, and she smiled at me.
“I offered Gail to brief you on the meetings with West corp this morning,” she said, and I frowned at her. The girl was too damn stubborn for her good.
“The next time you go beyond your job description with me, Monica, consider yourself fired. Let me be clear about something. Other than the right-wing and the breakfast table, I do not want to see your face. When you see me, you hide. Are we clear?” I asked, and she shook. Tears welled up in her eyes.
“I.. I..” she was trying to speak.
“Get the fuck out of my wing. Consider this your last warning. Whatever you and your aunt are planning won’t work. I will never like or trust you, so please keep your distance.” I warned her and walked away from her. Then I linked Bart to inform the staff on my wing to keep her out of my space.
While I walked, I placed a call to my Secretary, Gail. She answered on the second ring; I was angry, but I controlled myself.
“Gail!” I said.
“Good afternoon Mr Moon,” she said politely.
“Did you send Monica Ranch to me?”I asked. She was silent.
“Now listen,” I said calmly but coldly.
“She has no business on my floor or being near anything I do. The next time she gets her hands on any of my business files, Consider yourself fired too,” I said.
“I am sorry, Mr Moon. She said you will be okay with it.” She explained.
“Well, now you know the truth. Good day,” I said and hung up, then walked quickly to my
m
father’s office. Stacy was there with him, and I rolled my eyes. “Luke, Darling. You must be tired. How is your wife?” She asked. “Awake and well, thank you,” I said politely and looked at my father. He smiled at me. “You said you wanted to see me?” I asked him, and he nodded. “Ah, yes,” He said and was about to speak. I linked him immediately.
“With all due respect, father. If it is important and concerns me, I will rather it is just the two of us, or I will return another time,” I said, and his eyes faltered, and then he looked at Stacy, who was making herself comfortable on the couch.
“Darling, please excuse us,” he told her, and she looked at him, surprised. “Aesop, I am Luna,” She said, reminding him.
“I need to speak to my son, Stacy,” he told her sternly. “He is my son too,” she said, crossing her legs.
“He has never been, and we all know that; now excuse us, or we will excuse you,” He said gently, but she remained, evidence of my father’s weakness. I turned towards her.
“Excuse us, Luna Stacy,” I commanded her, and she shook. She tried to fight it, but she couldn’t. She got up and left immediately.
“I see you are much stronger than I remembered,” he said, and I laughed.
“More than I let on,” I corrected him, and he nodded. He could not maintain eye contact with me, and I knew he was fighting his shame and remorse.
“So?” I asked, and he smiled.
“You finally claimed each other,” he said, picking Tia’s scent, and I nodded. “She a tough girl,” he said, “Not Many women will handle Elisabeth’s pregnancy that well, Luke,” he pointed, and I nodded.
Realising I wasn’t interested in small talk, he went to his desk, took out a file, and handed it to me.
“What is this?” I asked him.
“I asked you to come to tell you why I want you here. Your life has been threatened from birth, Luke. I never told you this, but it is best you know. Your mother was poisoned, and my life and yours have been attempted a couple of times. Some which you know of and others you don’t. You will find records of all I
have said in that file, and before you say Stacy did it, she and Caleb have been victims too. I believe someone wants to wipe out our family so they could absorb our mark and, in doing so, absorb our pack and country. We have good security and trusted staff here. Living outside this estate might cause you problems,” He said, and I was stunned, Why did he keep all of this from me?
“Someone has been sending pictures of you, Luke. Reasons best known to them. Also, the attack on the outer border has been linked to you,” he said, and I was in shock
“Not to be alarmed, son. I know you. I know what you are capable of, and this is not you. You have nothing to gain by killing me, your brother or your wife. But I know it is bigger than this, and like you said in the hospital, my judgement is clouded. Maybe Stacy is trying to frame you,
maybe not. Now that you are fully mated, you can understand my position and behaviour towards my mate,” he said, and I nodded but fortunately for me, I looked before falling in love. I wasn’t mated to a bitch like Stacy, so I could not understand his position.
“I have decided to make you Alpha, Luke,” he said, and I was stunned, ” Let’s face it, it will always be you. Caleb didn’t want the position, but his mother forced my hands. I cannot bear to lose him because I wore him the wrong shoes. He will be your beta, and you will choose a Gamma from your set.” He said and swallowed hard.
“What happens to Tia?’ I asked him, knowing this might break her heart. She was pretty excited about the fight. How would she feel when I tell her she can no longer be Gamma.
“She can’t be in the army, Luke. She will be Luna.” he pointed out, and I did not know how to explain this to her.
“I will prepare Caleb’s mind towards it, and then we will announce it at breakfast tomorrow before we pass it on to the rest of the pack,” he said, and he looked sad. “This mess could have been avoided if I had stopped Stacy from spreading lies about you. I know that man’s death was not your fault, and there
was an attempt on your life, but I thought Caleb would be able to handle it so he could gain something from me, but I guess I was wrong,” he said and went to sit.
“I need you to study the contents of that file with your wife. Her problem-solving scores in the academy’s cognitive skills classes were high. She is an asset Luke; that is why I got her for you. Lean on her for this one,” he said, and I nodded. He had forgotten how quickly he was ready to cast her away because he thought she was sleeping with Caleb. The man had issues. I did not bother to bring it up. I just took it from him.
“Father, do I have to take over now?” I asked, not wanting to be Alpha yet. I wanted to have at least two to three years of peace, start a family and travel with Tia before being saddled with the pack matters.
“Not yet. You need to produce an heir by your wife. I need you to be on the ground and assist me. This means you won’t be able to run the corp, so I suggest Caleb helps you for now,” he said, and I shook my head laughing. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“No way, Father. Stacy and her offspring won’t have a hand in Diamond. I won’t insult my mother’s memory like that. My wife will be more than capable of running the company for now. She has all the help she will need. I will join her in the office as much as I can until she can take over fully.” I said, and he sighed. He wasn’t expecting me to react the way I did. It was evident in his voice. I now believe it was Stacy’s idea, and my father was only trying to pass it on as his.
“It isn’t what you are thinking, Luke,” my father said, noticing my suspicions.
“You can’t leave Caleb with nothing, Luke; he is your brother,” he said, angry.
“He is your son!” I yelled at him. “He can keep the mansion, but I will never let him have what my mother left me. You let your mate spend my mother’s sweat and maltreat me. You’re weak!. I am nothing like you. Don’t ask for such considerations again. Like I said, I do not want the Alpha position. Caleb can keep it.” I said and handed him the documents.
“I am an Alpha, father, and Tia is mated to me. You can’t cast us out. If you believe I set the attack up, so be it. I will leave close down the building and set up elsewhere.” I said, and he shook his head.
“No.no, Luke. I can never suspect you. It was just a suggestion. If you are not okay with it, then I am fine. Have it your way, but you will be taking over from me. ” he said, and I nodded and was about to head out when he stopped me and handed me the documents.
“Go through them with your wife, please; our lives and future depend on your success,” he said, and I took them and nodded.
I walked back to the left-wing, still trying to process all my father had told me.
I entered my room, dumped the files on the couch and went to the bedroom. Tia blew my mind away.
She wore sexy black Lingerie and tied herself to the bed. The lace garter and suspender belt looked hot, and, at that moment, my conversation with my father was forgotten.
“Been waiting for you,” She said, and I could see the lust in her eyes. She was horny as hell. Was her heat coming? I guess I will have to find out.
I took off my shirt and shorts and checked the dresser for her g-spot stimulator. I linked Bart to bring me whipped cream. “Luke,’ she complained, and I laughed. “Patience, Tia,” I said, and there was a knock on the door. I collected the item and told them that no one should come to the room until the next day.
I went back to the room with the cream and looked at my wife on the bed. I smelled her arousal.
I placed my finger on her lips, and she sucked it. It got my cock hard, but I wanted her to get more worked up than she already was. I gently undressed her until she was naked. I kissed her
inner thighs and traced her body down to her centre with my fingers. I applied the cool whipped cream to each of her nipples, and she moaned sweetly. She smelled so good, and it got me all worked up.
“Luke,” she moaned when I licked and sucked the cream off her nipples.
“Sweet,” I said, and she growled at me.
“I worked on her some more, licking the cream off her sensitive parts, then I used the G-spot stimulator on her. I withdrew every time I sensed she was about to cum.
I went down on her and fucked her with my tongue, tasting her and enjoying every bit of it. She came violently, and I released her ties.
“Asshole,” she said, and I laughed, but she wasn’t done. She flipped us, and my back was against the bed with her on top of me. She wanted to be in charge, and I let her.
Tia rode me from instincts, and it was amazing. The view and the feeling were incredible. She moaned so sweetly, and I found it difficult to hold my cum. The moment she came, I spilt into her, and she shuddered all over. She could feel my orgasm just as much as I could feel hers.
I knew she wasn’t on heat, but damn that was a sight to see.
She got off me and went to the bathroom, giggling. I knew she was fully satiated. I sat on the bed and waited for her to come back to the room. This was the best time to tell her about the new development.
Tia entered and wore a short black silk robe. She sat next to me and crossed her legs. They looked sexy
“Tia,” I said and took a deep breath, ” I do not know how you will take this, but I hope you will take it well,” I said, and she adjusted herself on the bed. “I will be taking over from my father as Alpha, and because you will be Luna, you can not be gamma anymore,” I said and waited for her response, but she did not say anything.
“I will also need you to join me in managing Diamond corp. When I resume Alpha fully, you will be running the company.” I said. “Is your father okay with this?” She asked, and I nodded. She sighed
deeply. I knew she wasn’t happy about her gamma position being taken from her. “I won’t make this difficult for your Luke. I joined that academy because I was crushing on Caleb. That is in the past now.” She said and placed her hands on mine.

“I will support you in every way I can, Luke, but you must promise me that we will do everything together. Leading the pack and the company. We will do it together, as equals. You and me,” she said, staring deep into my eyes, and I kissed her gently. “I promise,” I linked, and she kissed me back, making our connection linger. I rested my head against her forehead. “Thank you, Tia, thank you for everything,” I said, appreciating the quality of her love and the strength of her heart. She was a gem and a rare kind.
