The Pack's Nemesis (Quirin's Story) novel Chapter 30

Kennedy

I wake up, still wrapped in Quirin’s arms, lying on his chest. It’s unusual because he’s always up before me, headed to warrior training. I smile, thinking of last night when Quirin finally let go. I know he wanted to try and be as gentle as possible, but I knew the minute his control snapped. Now that I know that loves me and wants me, I feel empowered that I’m the one who can make this man lose control.

It was a lot. He is a strong, powerful man and when that power is thrusting inside your body, it’s a lot to take in. But like I said, I was made for him. I took everything he gave me and embraced it. So did Echo. She was purring happily before I fell asleep.

‘We should try to convince him to be late for warrior training,’ Echo says in my head. I run my fingers over his chest. It’s covered with the scars of his bear attack. This is the first time that I’ve really had a chance to look at him and enjoy the man who is my mate.

‘Isn’t he already late?‘ I ask, unwilling to turn and look at the clock.

‘Not quite yet,‘ she purrs as I slide my hand down his hard stomach, tracing my fingers over the ridges of muscles. Just as my fingers touch his adonis belt, he gasps, jerking awake, his hand covering mine and stopping my teasing.

“What are you doing, Little Pup?” he asks, his voice deep and gravelly with sleep.

“Seeing if you’re awake,” I say, kissing his chest.

“Did you have something in mind?” he asks.

I nod. “I wanted to start the day like we ended yesterday,” I say, blushing at my boldness.

His eyes are still half–closed, but he smiles a sexy smile. “Aren’t you a naughty little pup.”

“You know I’m not a pup anymore, right?” I ask.

“No, you are not a pup, but you’ll always be MY Little Pup. So why don’t you slide on top of me and take what you want like the Alpha female you are,” he suggests.

I sit up and look at his body, not exactly sure what I’m supposed to do.

“Straddle me,” he says, pushing the blankets down so I can see that he obviously likes this idea.

I bite my lip and do what he says. His hands come to my hips and his thumbs rub against my hip bones. “In this position, you control the movement. You’re in charge. Slide onto my length and do what feels go to you,” he says softly.

“What about you?”

“Oh, anything you do is going to feel good to me, don’t worry.”

I smile and lean forward, kissing him. In this position, I can even control the kiss. He shifts underneath me while we’re kissing and then I feel the tip of his hard length slide against my wet entrance. He groans as I sit up, gasping at the feel of him as I slowly take him in.

I slide up and down a couple of times, getting used to the feel of him stretching me and sliding deeper than before. When I’m finally seated all the way on him, I look down at him.

“How does that feel, Little Pup,” he asks, his eyes nearly black with desire.

“Incredible,” I gasp.

“You’re not too sore?” he asks me.

I shake my head, grinding my hips against his. He holds my hips then pushes his up, going as deep as he can. I whimper at the feel of him.

Then he settles back down, watching me. “Ride me, Little Pup. Make yourself come while I watch you,” he says.

I begin to ride, slowly getting my rhythm while his hands move over my body, cupping my breasts and stroking over my nipples, bringing them to hard peaks.

“Oh, Quirin. This feels really good,” I moan.

“Maybe we should have started in this position,” he growls. “I definitely like the view.”

I can feel the orgasm building, feel my body tightening around him. I begin moving faster, putting my hands on his chest so I can ride him harder until I cry out as I feel my body explode. Quirin’s hands come to my hips, forcing me to ride out my

orgasm.

When I finally start to come down, I look at him. “You didn’t come,”

“Not yet. You’re not done, are you?” he asks, a glint of challenge in his

Say, disappointed.

I slowly shake my head, and sit up, taking him deep again. This time as I start to ride, his thumb goes to my clit, pressing against it, letting my movements direct the pressure and speed of his thumb.

I throw my head back, knowing I’m going to come again quickly.

“You are so fucking beautiful, Kennedy,” he growls.

This time when I come, he grabs my hips, thrusting into me a few more times before I feel the hot jets of his cum spraying my insides. I collapse onto his chest, both of us panting as his arms come around me.

“Quirin?” I ask, not sure if I should be happy or worried that he’s laughing.

“Is that a complaint?” I ask him, smiling back at him.

“Not even a little,” he says, abruptly flipping our positions so he’s laying

When I’d seen her, I’d known instantly that things weren’t good. Kennedy has always been a shining light of happiness and kindness. The light hadn’t gone out in a week, but it was significantly dimmed. Even being around her family wasn’t bringing out the usual brightness that surrounds her.

And then they’d left. I could tell from watching Alpha Warren and Luna Yara that their departure was unexpected. It was all I could do to not go after them and punch my brother for making a mess of his mate bond.

I stayed the night, waiting to see Alpha Connor this morning and sign our new alliance agreement. We’ve been working together for years while his father taught him how to be an Alpha just like mine did. I anticipate that the transition of our alliance will be as seamless as it was when I became Alpha of my pack.

I realized that Connor didn’t know his sister left the night before. Granted, he was busy enjoying his new mate and showing her off to everyone and then spending most of the night marking and mating if his level of exhaustion is any indication. I could tell that he was disappointed that she didn’t say goodbye, and when he asked, his parents said they didn’t know what caused them to leave last night.

Well, I do and it’s time I confront my brother. He needs to realize that he’s going to have to change if he’s going to make this bond work. He doesn’t get to be the crabby, angry, dark person he’s been since I’ve known him. I warned him not to accept her if he couldn’t be a good mate to her, and he didn’t listen. Well, he’s going to listen now.

As usual when I pull up to the gates, I’m allowed into the pack with no questions asked. It’s the same when Quirin comes to my pack, even if his visits continue to be very infrequent.

It’s late morning and I expect to find my brother in his office. I stride into the packhouse ready to go head–to–head with him when I see him skipping down the stairs.

Skipping? He looks… happy.

“Hey, Henry! What are you doing here? Did we miss something last night?”

Is he smiling?

“Hey, I wanted to…” I cut off as Kennedy comes skipping down the steps behind him, looking much brighter and happier than she did last night. What the fuck is going on?

“Hey Henry! Oh, Quirin, that reminds me. We didn’t get our picture taken last night,” she says. I watch as Quirin pulls her against his body, smiling down at her. Yep, that’s definitely a smile, or at least Quirin’s equivalent of a smile.

“No, we didn’t, and we definitely need to replace that picture in our bedroom,” he growls. I watch as she bites her lip, staring at Quirin with blatant love and adoration in her eyes.

“Just remember, no complaints,” she says, grinning mischievously at him before skipping out of his grasp. He growls a low,

possessive growl at her, making her smile even bigger.

“Not one,” he says, watching her as she turns and says goodbye to me before heading out of the packhouse. When he can no longer see her, he turns back to me.

“Sorry. Did you need to talk about something?”

“Ahh, no, apparently not.”
