The Delta's Daughter Chapter 113

MIKE

One week later

“Tobias!” I beamed, both Kellen and I stepping out of the car and handing the keys to the valet as we arrived outside of Kings Casino.

I shook Tobias' out-stretched hand and took him in for a bro-hug, then he offered his hand to Kellen, who did the same as me.

“Are you boys ready to party?” He asked with a huge smile.

“Heck yes!” I replied, my smile equally big.

Kellen chuckled and shook his head. “Goddess, what have I agreed to? I’m almost scared of hanging out with both of you.”

It was my 21st birthday tomorrow and after hearing Lamia rave about Kings Casino and how she wanted to party here for her 21st, telling Tawny how grand the place was and how much fun it looked, I thought, why not?

Mathias had told Tobias we could have his suite for the duration of our stay. We would only be here for two nights and then we would head back to the New Moon kingdom, so Kellen could officially take over as king and we had to organize a coronation.

I had suggested to my mother and Aunt Viv, that it would be nice if they could have everything organized by the time we returned.

We took a private elevator up to the top floor. The elevator doors opened and we stepped into a large entry room with black marbled flooring, the same as the downstairs main foyer for the casino.

The suite was huge with floor to ceiling windows and was decked out in some modern décor. The contemporary furnishings were in dark colors. The sitting room was to the left with brown leather chairs and a long beige couch opposite it.

A table sat behind the couch that separated the kitchen, also decorated in black and white marble with a counter and breakfast bar. To left of the kitchen was a bar area and to the right was a hallway that must lead to a bedroom or bedrooms.

“This way, boys. I will show you where your rooms are, so you can drop your bags and wash up, or whatever.” Tobias led the way down the hallway and showed Kellen and I our rooms.

“So just to let you know, anything goes here, what happens in Lonely City, stays in Lonely City.” Tobias laughed. “But seriously, no judging here, long as you don’t judge me.” He winked.

We would have invited Lamia and Tawny along but Tawny was dealing with her own issues in Cambiador and Lamia had broken the news to us two days ago that she was pregnant.

So she would be no fun.

Besides, I highly doubted King would let her party, pregnant or not. He was super possessive over her.

I got it, it’s an Alpha thing. So it was just the three of us, and Tobias seemed pretty excited to show us the city and a good time.

“So what you’re saying is, if I find myself a female or two and bring them back up here, no worries?” I smirked.

“Exactly!” Tobias pointed at me with a knowing look.

“For fuck's sake, you both have that devious look on your face. Are you sure you two aren’t related somehow?” Kellen groaned “I can see I will be the baby sitter tonight.”

“Ahh come on Kel, don’t be like that, let’s have some fun, let our hair down. It’s been a while since we could really go out and not have responsibilities. I’m sure you could do with a good fuck?” I goaded him.

“Yep, his majesty looks like he needs to get laid.” Tobias joined in on the teasing, not skipping a beat. I liked him even more. He and I were definitely going to be trouble together.

The big burly bear shifter was as tall as Kellen, a few inches above me and he was bulkier than me too. I had no doubt he could take me in a fight, but it wasn’t something I wanted to find out any time soon. I preferred him as a friend and, despite being almost 8 years older than us, we meshed.

When he was at the royal palace, he and I instantly got on well. Wish I could say the same about King, remembering how that all went down. Tobias, though, I showed him around the royal pack, and we definitely had fun.

*****

We stepped out of the elevator, and then into the casino. The floor was packed with shifters of all races. The dinging of slot machines rang out and the shuffling of cards fluttered above the establishments' patrons.

Females walked around in matching short skirts and tight tops, handing out drinks to the gambling clients. I wasn’t much of a gambler, but would enjoy the scene.

To my right I noticed a red rope in front of a blacked out entrance, “What’s that place?” I asked Tobias.

“That gentleman is ‘Club Allure’, a private topless club. Pretty much anything goes in there.” He nodded as he explained, the corner of his lips turned up into a smirk “Basically, if you want it you get it, they have private rooms, but some don’t mind an audience.” He waggled his eyebrows.

“Oh!” Kellen said, getting his meaning.

Yes, I was what Lamia and Kellen called a man whore, but I had never been to a place like that, and the excitement grew, getting the juices flowing. “We definitely have to check that place out,” I stated, letting my excitement show.

After all, it was my 21st, and I intended to party hard.

“Good evening Tobias, your usual table?” A hot-looking dark-haired woman greeted Tobias as we walked into the club, her lips painted a deep red and the black dress she wore was skin tight, not leaving much to the imagination.

I took in our surroundings, the dim lighting creating an ambience of seduction. In the middle stood a dance floor with soft red lighting projecting onto it. Around the outside were cut out alcoves with private tables, each had a heavy red velvet curtain hanging on one side, so the user could draw the curtain for privacy, if they so wished.

On the back wall stood the bar, which ran the whole length of the wall, displaying every type of liquor imaginable. Hostesses were walking around with trays of champagne and hors d’oeuvres, all dressed in short black skirts and tight red see through tank tops, showing off their cleavage.

“The hostesses are off limits, at least while they are working. Otherwise, anyone else is fair game.” Tobias informed me. I nodded while my eyes followed a cute little brunette. My cock began to twitch, and I could feel the already semi begin to harden more.

He pointed out some of the private rooms that could be rented, telling us whatever we wanted was to be charged to Kings Suite. Our money was no good tonight.

*****

The past two nights were a blur. We ended up back at 'Club Allure' last night, and I can honestly say I have never been as drunk in my whole life. Tobias had slipped a little belladonna into my drink. The effects were a full blown hang over this morning.

“Shit,” I said to myself, rubbing my eyes and smacking my dry lips together, the gumminess on my tongue not helping. I was alone in bed, which was a good thing. Flashes of images started to play in my mind, remembering our time in ‘Club Allure’.

I had set my sights on that little brunette I saw the first night, and decided I wanted her. When she came to our private table nestled in one of the alcoves, I couldn’t help but tell her I wanted her on my lap.

“You’re in luck Beta,” she had smiled seductively, “My shift just ended”.

The next thing I knew, she was kneeling between my legs, my pants unzipped and her mouth around my strained cock. She ended up in my lap, her pussy sliding down my hard erection and began fucking me. Kellen left and found a female for himself, but Tobias stayed and watched the show.

I thought Tobias just liked to watch, but when he leant over the girl straddling me, while she slid up and down my length and asked her if he too could fill her up, I was surprised. But the Belladonna had left me relaxed and not giving a shit.

So when the girl nodded and breathily begged for him to take her from behind, I didn’t bat an eye.

This was a new experience for me, but it was such a turn-on when he rammed his dick into her back hole, and she took both of us.

I almost came right away from the sensation.

I had no attraction to Tobias, but the act we performed, sharing the girl and her reveling in having both of us, was hot as fuck!!!

What a fucking great 21st birthday.

I rolled out of bed and padded down the hall, banging my fist on Kellen’s door, “Time to wake up bro, we gotta hit the road in an hour.” I yelled through the thick door. I heard movement and then a grumble.

Noting that he was getting up, I made my way to the kitchen. Shit, I needed coffee; it was a long drive and I didn’t know how long this hangover would last. A werewolf getting as smashed as I was last night was not an easy thing to accomplish.

As I came from the hallway, the smell of bacon, sausage, eggs and pancakes reached my nose. I inhaled the smell of food and my feet carried me towards it.

“Morning Casanova,” Tobias chuckled at me. “Had a good time last night, huh?”

“Fuck yeah, but I’m suffering from it. How the fuck are you looking so bright and cheery this morning?”

“Food” he said, gesturing to the large spread on the dining table. “Eat and you will feel better, there is fresh coffee in the pot.”

A few minutes later, Kellen came out looking freshly showered and dressed, ready to leave. Did he not have a hangover? I lifted my hands, gesturing ‘what the Fuck’? To him.

“I didn’t drink nearly as much as you guys did, and I didn’t have any of that Belladonna shit either.” He said, giving me a stern look. He hadn’t approved of me using the drug or Tobias’ influence of adding it to my drink.

We said goodbye to Tobias and he walked us down to the lobby, where the valet had our car waiting.

“Don’t be strangers. I had fun hanging out with you two. Safe travel’s yeah?” Tobias told us as we got in the car.

“Likewise, man, it’s been real. Come visit us soon.” I replied before hoping in the driver’s seat.

Kellen took a minute, telling Tobias if he needed anything, he had an ally with the werewolf kingdom, before climbing into the passenger seat. I put the car in drive and pulled out.

Destination – Home.

*****

It was late evening and we were well into the drive home and were close to the border of the werewolf kingdom. Conversation had been light, swapping stories of our two nights in Lonely City and poking fun at each other.

“I am nowhere close to as much of a man-whore as you are, Mike,” Kellen laughed at me, when I asked him about his rendezvous with the blond she-bear he took back to King’s suite.

“Yah, but you still got your dick wet.” I reminded him,

“I’m an Alpha Wolf, man, we have high sex drives. Besides, I didn’t actually have sex with her."

I took my eyes off the road to peer at him, narrowing them in suspicion. “Seriously, Then what did you do?” I was a little surprised and thought he was pulling my leg.

“She gives good head, but I just… It didn’t feel right.” He said, shrugging his shoulders.

“Don’t tell me your abstaining from sex?” I was half joking, but when I looked over at him again, his head was turned and he was gazing out the window. “Dude, what are you going to do, swear off sex until you find your mate?” I joked, letting out a little laugh.

“Maybe. I don’t know.” He shrugged again.

“You say it, but I will believe it when it happens.” I told him. I think he was still hung up on Lamia, although it never stopped him taking a female to bed before. Maybe it was the ordeal with Vanessa that had him so uptight.

I’ll be the first to admit, I was still in love with our girl. Who wouldn’t be? But I had made my peace with myself long ago that she and I were never meant to be. Instead, I will cherish the friendship we have.

Kellen, though, actually had a relationship with her.

Fell in love with her and got hurt not once, but three times. I knew he still held a candle for Lamia, but I didn’t know it ran this deep. Finding out she was pregnant was an even bigger blow to him, the icing on the cake that he would truly have to come to terms with letting her go.

He was going to need his best friend in the future days, not just his Beta.

“Let’s stop at the next place we find, I’m frickin’ hungry as a wolf.” He smirked at his own joke.

“Yah sure, I could eat.” Looking at a sign we passed for food.

We entered the diner and ordered a heaping amount of food. The waitress was human and looked at us with disgust, with the amount of food we had sitting in front of us after she put it down.

“I forget how much shifters eat” She huffed. “You boys need anything else?” She was an older lady, with graying hair and plump hips, her tag read Mary.

“No thank you Mary, I think we should be good.” I winked at her, while she shook her head at us.

We scarfed our food down, wanting to get back on the road, and Kellen threw a few bills on the table, leaving Mary a hefty tip.

“Go fill the car up, I’m going to head to the bathroom. I will meet you out there.”

Yah, sure, no worries bro.” I said and headed out the front entrance, while Kellen stepped towards the back where the restrooms were located.

I filled the car up and hopped back into the driver’s seat, starting the engine and leaning back while I waited for Kellen to come out. I looked at my watch after five minutes.

After another ten minutes, I looked at my watch again. Damn, he must be blowing that bathroom up, I thought.

My wolf, Duke, began pacing in my head, his distressed feeling pushing through to me and I began to become concerned.

‘Something’s not right’ Duke spoke in my head, pacing some more.

He was right, something was off. I opened up a mind-link and reached out to Kellen. Silence.

I tried again but was met with more silence. I shut the car off and climbed out heading back into the diner and towards the bathrooms.

“Yo, Kel,” I called out, pushing the door open. Nothing.

I stepped in, calling his name again, and looked under the stalls. No one, nothing.  

I walked out the bathroom, lifting my nose to scent him, and followed it to the back exit.

Opening the door, I stepped out into the grungy alley. His scent was there but fading fast. I walked one way, then the other, trying to catch his scent.

Again, nothing.

Fuck, where did he go?

I walked back into the diner, taking out my phone to call him, and heard it ringing. I found it in the bathroom in one of the garbage cans.

Now I was getting really worried.

I hurriedly went to the front counter and stopped the waitress, Mary, as she passed. “ Hey, did you see my friend leave?” I asked her.

She looked at me confused, “No, I saw you leave and him go to the bathroom. Sorry.”

“HEY!” I yelled, climbing onto one of the tables and standing so everyone could see me. “Did anyone see a really tall, good looking werewolf leave this place?”

All eyes turned to me, but no one said anything. If anything, they stared at me blankly like I was a crazy man. Fuck, where could he have gone? I climbed down and blocked Mary from moving.

“You got cameras in this place?” I was starting to panic and my wolf wasn’t helping, his pacing and agonizing for his Alpha, was building up my own uneasiness.

“No, sir. They haven’t worked in years.” She told me, pulling her arm from my tight grip.

After two hours of driving around and trying to catch his scent, I finally made the call to the one person who, if they could, would be able to get in touch with him. I began mind-linking her but I couldn’t concentrate and cut if off after only a few seconds, leaving her to wonder what was going on.

I pulled my phone out again and dialed her number.

“Mike,” Lamia said, concern laced in her voice. “What’s going on?”

“I lost him, Lam’s,” I rushed out, running a hand through my hair.

“Lost who?”

“Kellen.”

“You’re not making any sense Mike, what do you mean you lost Kellen?” I heard the ruffling of sheets. She had already gone to bed.

I heard King’s voice in the background asking her what was going on and her relaying that I said I had lost Kellen. “I mean I lost him.” I spat, truly getting pissed with the situation.

“You are not making any sense, Mike.” Now she was agitated, I knew I wasn’t making sense and I was getting more agitated that she didn't understand. I had fucking lost the King of the Werewolfs!

“We stopped for food, he went to the bathroom, I filled the car up, he never came out. I went in to find him and he was… gone, just poof. No scent trail, no nothing. His phone was in the garbage can, and, and, he just disappeared, Lamia. Into thin fucking air!” I took a deep breath after getting it all out, my voice was sounding even more panicked.

“You fucking lost him? You lost the werewolf king!” Lamia’s voice rose a few octaves “How the fuck did you lose the King of werewolves, Mike?"

‘I don’t know, Lam’s, I don’t know, I’ve been driving around for hours trying to pick up his scent and I got nothing. I don’t know what to do, help me!” I begged, feeling desperate to find my best friend, my wolf desperate to find his Alpha.

I tugged at my hair and pulled at my collar. The air had thinned and I was feeling heated, sweating. I think I was having a full blown panic attack at that point.

“Fucking find him Mike!” She screeched, “You goddess damn better find his ass…” She was cut off from her ranting and then I heard Mathias speak to her, he had pulled the phone from her hands.

“Baby calm down, we will find him.” He then spoke to me “Pregnancy hormones, Where are you Mike?”

So I told him my location and he was going to send a few of his warriors from his border to my location, to help search. He also said he would send Tobias out too and to just hang tight for now.

“There is a motel 2 miles west of the diner. I will have a room paid and waiting. Go there and wait for my warriors and Tobias,” He instructed.

I was thankful for his take-charge attitude because right now I felt lost, useless, I felt ashamed that I had literally lost our King.

2 Hours Earlier

OLIVER  

When we snuck away from the battle at Riocht, we took a boat and travelled up the river system into bear territory and stopped at one of Orion’s facilities where he held kids.

The place was empty, the kids gone. I hoped they had been rescued.

We ended up clearing the place out, taking a few syringes full of the crawler serum and a stack of the masking herbs that were left behind. There were other drugs we found and we took them too. One of them was the drug we used to subdue the Dire Wolf.

After clearing out the facility, we used some of the masking herbs and found a van still parked outside. Jack was able to hot wire it and we were off, heading towards the Cheregwen Port.

“What are you stopping for?” I asked him as he came off the highway and pulled into the alley of a diner.

“I gotta drain the beast,” he said, smirking.

I waited for him in the car and when the back door opened, he had a body slung over his shoulder.

“What the fuck is this Jack?” annoyed he had kidnapped someone when we were meant to be lying low.

He opened the back door of the van and slung the body on the floor, “Look who I found!” He gleamed, looking proud of himself.

I looked down at the body.

Fuck me! It was none other than the prince, or King Kellen, now his parents were dead.

“What the fuck Jack!” I exclaimed, panicking, and began to look around for his Beta, who was never far behind.

I had wanted to kill the whole family before, him most, as payback for his father executing my mother.

“Don’t look so worried, he didn’t even recognize me. Gave me a sniff, then turned away and that’s when I got him.” Jack was so pleased with himself, he couldn’t refrain from smiling. “Stuck him with one these here needles.” He pulled said needle from his pocket. It was one that held the concoction to knock out Lamia.

The King was not waking up anytime soon.

“I can’t kill him, not here, not while he is passed out.” I resolved.

“Silly Ollie,” Jack berated me, “ We're not going to kill him,” Now he just laughed at me.

“Then what are we going to do with him Jack?” I asked skeptically.

“He will fetch a nice price. I got someone who pays a pretty penny for an Alpha, even more for a King.”

I groaned. Jack looked so pleased with himself, like he had just won the biggest prize at the fair. He took out some masking herbs and sprayed them all over King Kellen. Shut the door and climbed back into the passenger seat.

“Let’s go.” He said, banging on the dash.
