The Delta's Daughter Chapter 330

MIKE

Night of the ball

I look at my watch for the thousandth time. 2 pm. Attendees have been arriving since the crack of dawn. Alpha's, Beta's, and other high-ranking werewolves, along with their entourage of either guards or family members.

Between Jonda and I and my mother and father, we have been greeting the arrivals all morning. It wasn't protocol to have to greet each arriving party, but it was expected for a ranking member to receive them.

I cast an annoyed look at my father, rolling my eyes. Finally, he gives me the nod indicating I can leave my post to do the important shit. Make sure everything is in place and security knows when and where they are meant to be.

Despite checking, double-checking, and even triple checking. I need to check again. Tomorrow is a big day for Kellen and Tala. Not just for them, but for our kingdom. Tonight, we celebrate, tomorrow we solidify the reign of a new king and queen of werewolves.

I grab Jonda's hand and pull her from the front of the palace, leading her inside. "Thank fuck for that." She sighs once out of earshot of my parents. "I don't mind greeting and meeting everyone but honestly I'm too angsty and need to make sure shit is being done and perfect for tonight and tomorrow."

I lead her to the back of the main foyer, dragging her to the side behind a pillar close to one of the back staircases.

"Seriously, shouldn't Kellen and Tala be out there greeting their guests?" I hear the slight irritation in her voice.

Swinging her around, I pull Jonda into me enclosing my arms around her. "Under normal circumstances, yes. But didn't you say Tala was complaining of cramps this morning?"

"I did, she is." Jonda lifts her hand, fingers brushing over my jaw. "I'm just venting my love. She was feeling sick, and truth be told she looked awfully pale. Even whiter than normal." Concern laced her voice and showed in her eyes, her brows drawing together.

"Don't even think it," I said as I watched her expression of concern increase.

"Think what?"

"I'm not jinxing anything. Go make sure everything is set up and we will meet back in our suite in three hours to change." I placed a soft kiss on her lips not daring to take it any further or I would be dragging her back upstairs and we would never get anything done then.

Reluctantly, I let Jonda go. Only because I was sure I could get a quicky out of her before we changed for the evening festivities in a few hours. Just the thought of having her under me or over me gave me a rush of excitement and I was already looking forward to seeing her later.

I watched the sway of her ass as she walked away from me and groaned at the sight. "Down boy," I said to my dick that thought it was already playtime. "Later," I promised him.

I scrubbed a hand down my face, replaying Jonda's words about her sister in my mind. Tala was pretty close to her due date, only a couple of weeks away. Getting sick right now wasn't a good sign.

With that thought, I decided to check in on the happily mated couple after I did my rounds checking in with Rhett, Tyron, and Rogue. You know, just to be sure things were good.

"…Tracy, I want your team posted on the east wing. Edward is on the west wing. Team C & D will be posted here and here…" Rhett pauses his instructions to the Enforcers as I walk in, his eyes catching mine. I give him a half-ass wave to carry on as I slink to the back of the room and listen. "The Delta will have men on the border as well as around the palace. We are to work in tandem with them and provide support. We are here to fill in gaps as a neutral party. Are we clear on orders?" He looks up around the room at his men and women who let out a 'yes sir'.

Rhett nodded with approval at his enforcers, looking pleased. "In that case, I want you all at your designated posts in the next two hours. Points of contact are me, Delta Tyron, Beta Mike, and Senior Beta Pike. Keep your radios on and eyes open."

Another 'yes sir' rings out around the room before Rhett dismisses his crew.

"Gotta say, Rhett, I'm impressed. How's it going with the council and getting them to accept your enforcers?"

"Actually, the council has been more enthusiastic about it than I originally thought. Abner Brooks and Evelyn Stallings were the ones steering the wheel with the other members. If all goes well, we will have enforcers set up in each kingdom and Boroughs by next summer." I could see how much he loved his position and what he was doing by the way his eyes lit up.

Ever since Lamia left MacTire to be ruled by Travis last year, Rhett turned down the offer to be Delta and instead took the position of Gamma. Claiming he was in a better position as an advisor for the kingdom. With a Gamma position, he could continue to build towards his goal of a national enforcers' unit. A division made up mostly of hybrids and a few humans who, on Queen Lamia's authority, were able to uphold the law and peace across the continent and in every kingdom and borough.

A division that worked for all, unbiased and fair, and one that would enforce the laws Queen Lamia set forth. Intermediate National Enforcers.

They were also very handy for an occasion such as tonight and tomorrow.

"That's great!" I said truly happy for his progress. "And I'm sure you will have the backing of my father once he has been voted onto the high council." I shot him a grin and a wink knowing my father was all for the I.N.E. as we were now calling it.

And there wasn't anyone better than Rhett to lead it. He had grown up among injustice. Saw it every day and lived it as a hybrid and his sister human. They had grown up in the boroughs, treated like the scum of the realm and seen as nothing more than dirt to the shifters where they lived.

Rhett had no idea he was a hunter until Lamia came across him a few years ago, saving his sister from a pack of lawless werewolves who treated any weaker shifter or humans as nothing more than slaves.

"I was hoping you would do me a favor if you have everything taken care of with your guys?" Rhett cocks an eyebrow at me, understandably. Usually, when I ask a favor it's something ridiculous or something that leads to a prank. But not this time. Not tonight. "I was hoping you would pick Tawny up from her father's place. She's been in town for the past week or so, I had no idea. I would personally pick her up but…"

"Don't sweat it. Anything for our little kitty. Just send me her father's address and a time and I will make sure she arrives in style." I let out a sigh of relief at Rhett's enthusiasm. I had been feeling guilty that I hadn't seen her yet. Nor had I made time to acknowledge she had even been in town this long.

"Thanks, man. I owe you one." I said clapping him on the shoulder.

"You owe me nothing, I'm happy to see Tawny. We all miss her."

I push off the table I had been leaning on, making my way out of the room and back to the palace. "See you tonight."

"Later," Rhett replies as I walk through the door.

I walk the block from the holding cells back to the palace. Looking at the time on my watch again. 4 pm. *Rogue, where you at?* I mentally connect to Tala's personal guard.

*Royal floor, kitchen.* He replies, and I pick up my pace to an almost jog.

"Gentlemen!" I say happily walking into Kellen's personal kitchen and finding him and Rogue sitting at the counter scarfing down sandwiches.

I pick up one of Rogues and stuff it in my mouth feeling famished after running around all morning and afternoon. "Hey!" Rogue protests.

"You have three more on your plate. Don't be greedy!" I say around a mouthful of turkey, lettuce, and tomato.

"Get your own," Rogue grumbles, protectively wrapping his arm around his plate so I can't steal another.

"Yeah well, while you two have been in here stuffing your faces I have been running around like a chicken with its head cut off." They both give me a stare and Kellen lifts a hand index finger circling his temple, making the sign for crazy. "Fuck off Kellen, I'm running around for you and your mate."

Kellen laughs, "Don't act like you're mad," He shoves his plate that still holds food on it across the counter to me. "You know you love me, and I know what an awesome job you are doing."

"Whatever." I waved him off and pick up another sandwich. "Jonda says Tala was feeling under the weather?"

"Nerves. I think. I hope." Kellen leans back, a slight scowl on his face as if trying to convince himself that's all it is.

"Are you sure?" I ask hoping like hell that it really is just nerves. He nods, but I'm not sure he even buys into his own words. "Alright. Well, everything thing seems to be running smoothly with the warriors. Tyron has that under control. Rhett has delegated his enforcers and will be picking up Tawny. My father is in charge of border control tonight. Hunji is expected sometime this evening and Lamia will not be making an appearance, and I quote 'She does not want to steal any attention on Tala's big day'. However, She said she will be bringing the kids to visit sometime soon.

A deep frown covers Kellen's face, and he clears his throat before he speaks. "Lamia's not coming?" He doesn't look at me, instead lowers his head. Eyes on the counter. There was no missing the crack in his voice nor the sound of disappointment in his words.

I shake my head, "No. Which isn't a bad thing. You know if she and King turn up all eyes will be on her. She's not coming because of you and Tala. She's not coming for you and Tala." I pause thinking over my words, deciding that yes, they do make sense. "You know what I mean? This is yours and Tala's day she doesn't want to do anything that would overshadow that."

Kellen's head bobs up and down. Somberly but with understanding.

Sometimes I wonder. Without a doubt, he loves Tala but… I wonder if he still harbors feelings for Lamia. Of course, he will always love her, the same as I will. Do. But their bond goes beyond anything I could comprehend. Something ancient and unshakable.

Kellen confessed to me not too long after he came home, and Lamia gave birth to the triplets that he could still feel the pull to her and the tingles were still there when they touched. A sure sign of mates. But they aren't mates. Their spirit animals were once. A very long time ago. I know he misses her, as do I. But could he still be in love with her?

I shake the thoughts from my head putting it down to the fact that the three of us were just that close. Yet when he looks like he does now with that faraway look in his eyes. I can't help but think about it.

"Right, well, I will leave you boys, to it." I look at my watch again. 5 pm. "I need to go fuck, shower, and get dressed for this evening. In that order." I grin like a child with the biggest lollipop, steal another sandwich from Rogue's plate and run out the door "See you down there in a few. Don't be late!" I call out as I listen to Rogue curse me out.

I enter my apartment hearing the sound of running water coming from my bathroom. I stalked through the apartment, through mine and Jonda's room, and into the bathroom. The sight behind the glass wall has my dick standing to attention. peeling off my clothes quietly, and opening the shower stall, I slip in behind Jonda. My hands snaked around to her front and up, cupping her heavy breasts and kneading them.

"I hope your soaked everywhere my love?" I rasp into her ear drawing her back against my chest and grinding my straining erection onto her.

Jonda lets out a soft moan when I pinch her nipples, pulling them taught until they stiffen and pebble beneath my fingers. Her body melts against mine as I continue to massage her large breasts, the hot water streaming down over us.

I slid my palms down, nibbling her shoulder as I do. One hand grips her hip the other moves lower until I'm cupping her mound. "Tell me, my love, are you wet where it counts?"

"Yes," She moans. My finger dipped between her folds, over her clit until I come to her entrance and slip my middle finger inside her. Finding she is indeed wet and ready. Her hips buck as I sink my finger in deeper. Pulling it out just to push back in slowly with two fingers. Taunting her.

"Mike," She rasps, "More." She begs.

"Your wish is my command." I let go of her hip, fingers still slowly stroking her, and pushed the top of her back down. "Hands on the wall sweetheart," I command her.

Withdrawing my fingers, I stand back admiring the view of her round ass. My hands reach out automatically to grab a handful and I can't resist laying a smack on her soft cheek.

"Oh!" Jonda moans in surprise.

"Spread your legs," I tell her, palming my cock and stroking it a few times. Her legs spread and the sight of her pink pussy has precum beading at my tip. I line myself up and sink into her. Filling her to the hilt.

We both shudder. Jonda at the feeling of being filled. Me at the feeling of her pussy clamping down around my shaft. I still for a moment letting the initial sensation wash over me.

Every time I sink into her it's like coming home. As if she was made for me.

'She's not made for us.' Duke makes his presence known. Though his words are true, they hold a longing, almost a sadness.

'She is ours'. I tell him before shutting him out and pumping into my love.

It doesn't take me long to get her to the edge of an orgasm and I know we don't have much time. So making this last, like I usually would, was out of the question. I bring a hand around her front finding her clit, rubbing circles over the sensitive bud.

"Oh shit, Mike. I'm going cum." Jonda's, chest heaves and her legs shake. She's right there, right on the edge.

I rock against her harder, faster. Bottoming out against the soft flesh of her ass. Until the sound of my balls slapping against her and the rhythm of my hips are in time with her panting. My balls tighten and my lower back burns hot with the need to come. To mark her with my scent.

My gums tingle, k-nines elongating, the primal need to own her. To claim her. To sink my teeth into her shoulder and mark her as mine. "Come, baby, come for me," I growl, gritting my teeth. Straining to hold my wolf and, myself, back from doing just that. My wolf wanted her just as much as I did. He wouldn't hesitate to mark her.

"Goddess Jonda, I love you!" I growl slamming one hard last time into her. Fingers rubbing harder over her clit. My release was hard and fast, I pinch her clit releasing deep inside her. Bringing Jonda over the edge.

"Mike!" She screams. Her pussy clamps around my cock like a vice, milking me for everything I got. I gladly give it to her.

The best feeling in the world - coming with your partner. Intune with each other's bodies and needs.

"Fuck!" I moan, pulling Jonda's semi-limp body against my back under the spray. "I don't want to go to this party. I would rather stay in here with you all night." My dick was already semi-hard again and still inside her.

To my dissatisfaction, Jonda turns around to face me, my dick slipping out of her. I instantly missed being inside her. I don't do one-and-done.

"I see that look, Beta." Jonda playfully slaps my chest and I look up, meeting her eyes. "You cannot miss this party. Shit, I can't miss this party." She pokes me in the chest with a manicured nail, the corners of her mouth turn up into a sly grin and she waggles her eyebrows at me. "Although as tempting as the offer is," she licks her lips. I think she's giving in to the idea of ditching the party and having our own. "We have worked too hard to not enjoy it."

My shoulders sag in disappointment that she's right. We have worked really hard, and this is my best friend and his mate. I tried giving her puppy-dog eyes. I even flutter my eyelashes at her.

Jonda shakes her head at me. "Nope, Nuhu." With finality in her words, she steps back, turning off the water. "I promise we will dust off those cuffs the moment we come back here." She smiles sweetly, her eyes glancing down my body, eyeing my still semi-hard dick and licking her lips. "Until then… Keep it in your pants." She waves a finger at my manhood, and I jerk my hips, my cock bouncing as I do.

"Mike-" She gives me a warning glare.

I lean over her and open the glass door. "If you let me blindfold you too, I promise to behave. For now." I give her a wolfish grin that stretches wide and mischievously. And decide to up the ante. If she was going to make me wait, two could play that game. "But the moment we're behind closed doors," I lean into her and drop my voice low "…I'm going to be very bad."

I didn't miss the shiver that wracks through her body at my words. Or the puff of air she let out, her body leaning into me wanting what I'm promising.

"Is that a yes Jonda?" I ask moving back.

Her eyes flutter before they fixed on mine, "Goddess, yes." Her voice was breathy and full of desire.

I gave her a curt nod and stepped out of the shower stall, grabbing us both a towel. "I can't wait to punish you for making me wait." I wink handing her a towel to dry off with. I walk out of the bathroom, grinning, knowing it was a dick move.

Tonight was going to be fun. Technically, Jonda only made me promise to keep my dick tucked away. She didn't say my finger and mouth couldn't accost her at some point during the evening. I almost snigger out loud. I would have her so sexually frustrated by the end of the night, that she would never ask me to wait again.

I loved the chase and Jonda loved to be chased.
