The One 41

Chapter 41: Kinsley’s Stand Kinsley The next morning I wake, feeling fantastic. Lucas made me come several times and then I had reached out to stroke him, causing him to o**m after only a few strokes. We both laughed at that, his mostly an embarrassed laugh, and then we had cleaned up and curled up together to sleep. I roll over, expecting to find Lucas, but instead, I find a note attached to a red rose.. Good morning, sleepyhead. You looked too peaceful to wake. If you have time, I’d love to have lunch with you today. Your mate and lover, Lucas I smile, getting out of bed and showering, thinking of last night and how kind and generous Lucas had been, how gentle and caring. As I bathe, I can still feel the tingle of my nipples from his very talented tongue last night. I get dressed and head downstairs, ready to take on whatever today will bring, and I nearly run into Trent. “Kinsley,” he says, looking me over as if I’m naked. “That’s Beta Kinsley to you.” “I have such a hard time calling you Beta when I’ve seen you ווד 11:49 f***ed right in front of me. You know, usually girls like that charge by the hour,” he says, licking his lips. “So how much?” I’m not sure what I would have said, but another voice comes from behind me. “Excuse me!” Luna Sophie exclaims, walking up. “You will apologize, and you will do it now. “Says who? You? You’re not my Luna. You’re no one’s Luna. You don’t get a title unless your mate **ks you in front of us so we can all watch,” he says lasciviously. I see red and a moment later, Trent is on the ground with a broken nose and I’m standing over him

seething. “What is going on here?” Alpha Hunter says, walking up. He looks at Sophie and then at me. “Beta Kinsley?” “He insulted our Luna,” I snarl. “Is that so?” he asks, looking at Sophie. “Not before he insulted our Beta. I believe he made a reference to her being a cheap w*e.” I **ear gasps from other pack members, the sounds of a scuffle drawing them to see what’s going on. “I see,” Hunter says, walking up behind Trent. Trent starts to get up, but Alpha Hunter pushes him back down. “Stay down,” he growls at him. “Beta Kinsley, what is the penalty for disrespecting one’s Beta?” he asks, and I look down. If he had asked me the penalty for disrespecting one’s Luna, I could have answered easily, but I 1331% III 1149 day’s Stand 208 Woucliers: still struggle to answer if it’s about me. “Lucas?” he asks and my head snaps around to see my mate standing behind me. He came in with the others. “Death,” he says, glaring at Trent. “Kinsley, what did we discuss the other day?” Alpha Hunter asks to me, his hand still holding Trent on the ground. I look down, trying to find my courage. Courage that I used to have, that I’m trying to regain. I square my shoulders and look up, meeting Alpha Hunter’s gaze. “That if I wouldn’t accept the disrespect toward someone else, then I shouldn’t allow it towards myself.” Alpha Hunter nods, as if he’s considering his options. “The penalty for disrespecting one’s Luna is also death,” he says. Trent snarls and tries to jerk free,

but Alpha Hunter extends his claws, slicing them through Trent’s shoulder and pushing down, keeping him on his knees. “Beta Kinsley, I told you that I will not tolerate disrespect in this pack, did I not?” “Yes, Alpha,” I say, feeling that I’ve once again disappointed him. “Why didn’t you come to me yesterday?” he asks softly. “…” I begin, feeling Lucas come up behind me. “You didn’t think I realized something was going on when I saw Trent talking to you after patrols yesterday? I asked Alpha Hunter this morning if you had approached him after he and our 29.72% ווו 71 50 Chappie 41.

It should be you who exacts his punishment,” Alpha Hunter says. “Don’t you dare touch me, you f***g b**h,” Trent snarls. A moment later, he’s hanging off the ground, Alpha Hunter’s claws holding him up by the throat. “I’ll do it. It would be my pleasure,” Lucas growls, moving to step around me. “No. No, Alpha Hunter is right. He insulted me first. I need to be the one to punish him for his crimes.” Alpha Hunter opens his hand and lets Trent drop to the floor, stepping back and letting me take the lead. “Trent, you have disrespected your Beta female, your Luna, and therefore your Alpha and Beta male. You are hereby sentenced to death, effective immediately,” I say, giving him his sentence. “You f**..” Trent begins, but I extend my claws and in one sweeping motion, his head goes flying across the room. Blood sprays over me as his body falls to the floor. There is something

empowering about being able to stand up for myself. Finally. Finally, I feel capable of stopping the leering stares and remarks. I turn and look at everyone else in the room. “Anyone else feeling disrespectful towards me?” I snarl. When no one responds, I turn back.. 46 27% 11:50 Chapter 41 Kinsley’s Stand 1288 Vouchers “Good. Get this a**hole out of here. Bury the body off of pack lands. Only respectful, true pack members get a funeral and pyre. And spread the word, disrespect is not allowed in this pack, not by anyone, not towards anyone,” I say, looking at Alpha Hunter to see if he’ll back me up. He nods and I turn, needing to shower and desperately needing to get ahold of my emotions that are all over the place. I jog up the stairs and peel off my clothes as I head to the shower. I’ve just stepped under the scalding hot water when I hear Lucas come in. “Kinsley, are you…” I don’t wait, I grab him, pulling him into the shower with me and stripping off his clothes. I’m not sure why killing Trent has made a difference, but it’s as if everything inside me has righted after all this time. “Mine,” I snarl, leaping onto him and sliding down his already hard length. He presses me against the shower wall, kissing me with a passion I’ve never felt from him. He begins slowly, carefully thrusting inside me, but that’s not what I need, not right now. “I need more. I need more!” I tell him before sliding my tongue into his mouth. He begins thrusting into me, giving me what I need. Our hands are everywhere, our mouths kissing and licking each other, desperate after waiting a year for this moment. The moment my o**m hits, I throw my head back and scream with the pleasure ofit. Lucas’ own o**m is only a moment behind mine. 6258

“MINE!” he snarls before he sinks his canines into my neck, marking me again. My response is only a moment behind his. “MINE!” I growl, sinking my canines into his marking spot, marking him again as both of our bodies shoot off again with the most explosive o**m I’ve ever had in my life. Sophie POV When Hunter had walked in, he had mind linked me to let him handle the situation. I had been surprised, but I watched, seeing that there was something more going on with Kinsley. After she jogged upstairs, Lucas right behind her, I walked over to Hunter who is overseeing the clean-up of Trent. “I feel like I missed something,” I say to him quietly. He looks at where Kinsley and Lucas had gone up the stairs. “I needed her to stand her ground. Lucas found out recently that this,” he says, gesturing toward Trent’s decapitated body, “has been going on for a year. I needed her to take a stand, to finally understand her worth, and to fight for it. Thank you for staying quiet. I could tell that wasn’t easy for you,” he says, pulling me close and kissing the top of my head. “It wasn’t, but I trust you, so I knew there was more to this than what had happened here today.” I turn and look at where our Betas had gone. “Talk about a rite of passage. The term ‘bathed in blood’ has a whole new meaning to me now. Did you feel the difference in her? When BO.85% 11:501 she challenged the pack, did you feel it?” I ask him. He smiles smugly. “Yes, I do believe we finally have our true Beta female.”Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
