“Be better if it was six, but maybe four will have to do,” Monroe suggested.
I nodded. “Four then. No more than that. Let Giancarlo know, will you?”
“All right.”
I walked away to take a look at Akio’s mansion. I would take full advantage of a good fuck with Giancarlo and some sleep. I walked into the mansion and was surprised to not find any human servants. I guessed he’d had wolves to handle everything. His home was stunning and definitely influenced by his Japanese culture. There was even a koi fountain in the parlor where exotic fish swam about… very unique. I liked it. So far, with all the pretty artwork, open space, comfortable furnishings, and just overall layout, Akio’s home was currently in the lead as my new pad. Of course, I still had to see what Selena, Deacon, Josef, Evander, and Théoden’s homes looked like before I made my final decision. Sure, I could move into any home I wanted, but the best homes would be those of the leaders of these lands. That was why I was taking them over.
I was heading to Akio’s master bedroom when my phone started ringing. I pulled it out and was surprised to see the screen wasn’t cracked. This was money well spent on the protector and case. The caller ID let me know it was one of my human spies. I answered.
“What?”
“I’ve got some news for you, Sir,” Jermaine said.
“And it better be good,” I stated, wanting to know what he had to say.
“Selena and her mate have been killed by Deacon.”
Well now, that was some juicy bit of information. From what I knew, Deacon was the weakest of all the Alphas. How he had managed to kill Selena and her mate was of great interest to me. She was at least three times his age and would have been no match for her. Looked like there was more to this Deacon than met the eye. Once I had more details, I’d know what I was going up against.
“Is that all you know? Do you know how Deacon killed them? How did you find out?”
“I put myself in a position to get the best intel just like you wanted me to, Sir. I’m fucking one of Selena’s pack’s wolves. He likes it rough.”
“Yes, wolves tend to play with their food. That’s not what I asked you.” I felt like he was trying to earn extra brownie points with me by complaining about his “working conditions”. I didn’t give a shit about how rough his wolf boyfriend fucked him. All I cared about was if his intel was good.
“Yes, Sir, I’m sorry. My boyfriend just told me he pledged his loyalty to Deacon this morning. Most of Selena’s pack did, so now Deacon has more wolves in his pack.”
“How did he kill the Alphas?” I asked again. My patience was growing thin.
“I don’t know how he killed Selena, Sir. No one does, and the wolves who went with her have all been killed. There was a vampire with him when he showed up to claim her territory. This vampire was immune to the sun, Sir. As for Samuel, Deacon was stronger than him and decapitated him in front of his pack when he wasn’t prepared for the attack from what Hemmrick told me.”
This was unexpected. Looked like I wasn’t the only one trying to come up right now. Too bad Deacon was about to lose the territory and pack he’d just gained. My plans would stay the same: in four hours, I’d be attacking Deacon instead of Selena. This might be an easier fight. If he has a vampire with him that can withstand the sun, then it must be one of Théoden’s sons. And it was good that I now knew his dragon blood flowed through them as mine flowed through my wolves. It gave his vampires an advantage over all others. Perhaps it was that vampire who had killed Selena, and if she died as a result of his dragon venom, then they would be no threat to me.
However, I was a threat to him because of my wolf venom. The deck was still stacked in my favor.
I smiled at that thought, then thanked my human spy for his loyalty and information. The reward he was seeking for his devotion was to join my pack. He might just get what he wanted. I ended the call, then looked at the inviting bed. I’d sleep first, then fuck Giancarlo when I wake up. Before I truly settled down, all of Odin Colony would be mine. That was when I would really allow myself to fully relax.
CHAPTER SIX
Théoden
“I need to go,” Tylendel said as he rose off the bed. “Gio, get dressed,” he commanded of his wolf lover.
I was past calling Giorgio Tylendel’s wolf slave. He hadn’t been his slave in a while. Tylendel had developed strong feelings for the wolf and vice-versa that surpassed any dynamic a slave had with his Master. Sure, they had the relationship of a Dom and sub, but that was where it ended. Honestly, I was happy for my friend. For so long, he’d been without a companion. Who knew the events that led up to this opportunity for him to have love started with so much blood and death? That was the silver lining in our world.
Giorgio did as he was told, rising out of the bed to get dressed.
“You could just call Evander and let him know,” I suggested, hoping he’d stick around.
Ty looked at me and smirked. “Still hoping I will be here in case your enemies come a knocking? From what you’ve told me, they are no longer a threat.”
I rolled my eyes. “Having you and Vex here will not only be beneficial to me, but also to your King, Tylendel. You’d be on the first line of defense if he does attack.”
Tylendel shrugged. “Perhaps he just wants wolf territory.”
“Maybe, and maybe he wants more.”
“Evander has twelve Knights and is one of the most powerful dragon Kings in the world. He’ll want us there to defend his territory, not anyone else’s. You know this. That is if this Kendrick proves to be a threat to his reign.” Tylendel zipped up his pants and put on his shirt. There really was no stopping him at this point. He was loyal to his King as a true dragon Knight would be.
I nodded, conceding. “I’ll keep you updated, then.”
“I’d appreciate that and I’m sure my King will, too.”
“I’d hope your King shows his appreciation in the form of aid and not just sentiment when and if the time comes,” I said.
Ty sighed. “At this point, Théoden, you owe him, not the other way around. He’s yet to seek your advice or assistance.”
Leave it to Tylendel to never sugarcoat his true feelings. As much as I didn’t want to admit it, he was right. Already, Evander had given us dragon seed, his Knights, and soldiers to protect my Lords and myself. And even now, had allowed Tylendel to stay in wolf territory longer than necessary. He owed me nothing more.
Again, I conceded. “You’re right.” With that, I walked out of his bedroom. I was sure Vex would be leaving too as he’d follow Tylendel’s lead. I was on my own at this point, as Josef belonged to me and would follow my orders. Deacon was an opportunist, but I hoped he’d see the mistake in not working with me against Kendrick if this new player was a threat to us.
I rubbed my eyes as I felt the exhaustion settling inside of me. I’d been awake far longer than I was used to. I needed to feed and I needed to sleep. I’d be no good to anyone in the condition I was currently in. Josef and Dante were still out in the field, protecting their respective borders. I called to my son, Marco. I would feed from and fuck him, then sleep to regain my strength. I returned to my bedroom and waited for Marco to come to me. It’d been a while since he’d taken a cock inside of him. He was overdue, in my opinion. Well, he did take my cock the night Andreas injected him with dragon venom. He was desperate then and hadn’t cared how he was fucked as long as the venom was worked out of his system.
Right now, he’d be in his right mind and probably a little stubborn as he didn’t care to bottom often. I enjoyed seeing him submit to me, my first born. I removed all of my clothes and lay on the bed. Slowly, I began to stroke my cock when I felt my son’s presence drawing nearer. When he opened the door and looked at me, I saw his mouth drop open. I smiled because it was the reaction I’d wanted. He should always be in awe of me.
“Daddy needs that beautiful ass of yours, boy,” I said with a wicked grin.
“Not to sound ungra
teful here, pops, but I was hoping for some ass of my own to tear up, not the other way around,” Marco stated.
Well, his boldness was one of the attributes that had attracted me to him in the first place. Sometimes it was wanted and even adored. And other times, it was an annoyance, like now. “I need to feed and don’t have time for your hang-ups. Now come over here and sit on my cock and ride me, boy. Ride me until we both cum. You should be honored to feed your Father.”
“I am, Sire, but you know how I love to have my cock in a tight hole,” he stated. I knew he wasn’t trying to get out of fucking me. He took the hint, but just wanted to state his case as if I didn’t already know how he liked to live.
I watched my son get naked for me and the sight of him made my cock even harder. Ooooh yes, I had chosen wisely all those years ago. Marco has been one of my greatest accomplishments. His muscles were as powerful as granite and his scarred skin was covered with thick, black hair. A barbarian in every sense of the word. A beacon of raw masculinity with all of the attitude to go along with the full package.
He climbed onto the bed, straddling me. “Want me to suck your cock first, Father?”
I shook my head. “Ass now, boy.” As sweet as it would be to have his full lips wrapped around my hard cock, sucking up and down my veiny shaft, I was weak and needed to feed off his orgasm. Foreplay would have to wait.
I was already slick with my own precum. It would be enough for Marco. He liked it rough. He groaned as he slowly lowered himself on my cock. I moaned in pleasure as my body was getting exactly what it had been craving. My eyes rolled inside my head and I closed them to fully immerse myself in the pleasure of my son’s body.
“Ahh shit,” Marco groaned again. His ass was so deliciously tight. Not as tight as Noel’s, none of my sons’ assholes were as tight as his eternal virgin cunt, but damn close because Marco hadn’t bottomed much when he had been human. As a matter of fact, the last time he had let a man fuck him, he had been fourteen. He’d allowed it in exchange for food and shelter, and when he joined the military, no man was ever to have his ass again. Marco was a survivor, that much I had sensed the night I came upon him. I was so proud of him as he ripped through those wolves. Even the wolf that gave him a bit of a fight was defeated by my son. He would no doubt give this Kendrick a fight as well if that was our fate.
My body was feeding off of Marco’s and I knew even though he hated being sexually submissive, he couldn’t deny the extreme ecstasy he was feeling with every rise and fall of his hips. Shit, there was nothing like fucking a great ass bareback. The sensation of his anal rings rubbing along my shaft felt amazing, then add the heat of his insides to the mix and I was in heaven. “Yeah, that’s it, baby… ride Daddy.” I knew teasing Marco would goad him more.
He leaned forward, putting both hands on either side of my head. “You’re enjoying this a little too much, Father.” His bright, white smile was all too knowing.
“Nonsense.” I pumped my hips and he arched, his back straining against the sensation of a half-dragon’s cock inside of him. The only pleasure that could top this was if a full-blooded dragon was fucking him. This was everything to my sons and even though he had protested in the beginning, he was more than happy to be riding me now.
The headboard slammed against the wall with every thrust. We were both grunting and moaning in pleasure as we fucked hard and fast. I could tell he was getting close, as was I. I still needed to feed on blood, so I reached behind his neck, pulling him closer to my mouth, and struck.
“Ahhhh fuuuuck!” he growled and his body jerked as his cock unloaded all over me. My venom was flowing into his bloodstream, intensifying his orgasm as his blood was flowing into me, intensifying my own. My body rocked as I flooded his ass with my milky-white stream. I was ignited with ecstasy and every second felt like an eternity of bliss until the inevitable moment came when my hunger was sated and his blood started to thin. I’d taken more from him than I had intended and he was weak as a result. I could tell by how much of his weight was resting on me. I rolled him off onto his side, my softening cock sliding out of his wet, hairy and sticky hole with ease.
I looked him over and he was fast asleep, having been drained and fucked so thoroughly. I decided to let him sleep, he needed it just as much as I did, and when we both woke up, I would make sure he drank his fill from Josef’s wolves now that they were all immune to dragon venom. Because of that fact, it was even more imperative I kept my control of them. The biggest ace up my sleeve was Dante. As long as I had Dante, Josef would be kept in line.
I lay down beside my son, holding him in my arms and had just closed my eyes when my cell began ringing. Sighing, I rolled over to search my jean pockets for the device. I found it and answered, “This better be good.”
“I wouldn’t be calling you if it wasn’t,” was Deacon’s reply.
“Tell me something good, then.”
“Well, I don’t know if this is good, per se. But it is information. Akio’s wolves have all be decimated by our uninvited guests, they are on their way here since they know I’m in the market for new wolves. I’m their best chance as far as they are concerned. Josef’s pack is compromised by vampires. I’m pure. That’s how they’ll see it for now, at least.”
“How did you find out?”
“Remember I told you that my human spy is fucking one of Akio’s wolves? Well, he came running back to her, hiding and licking his wounds. Turns out their relationship is deeper than I had expected as he confided in her. He must love her, and that works out for me. It’s also how I know they will seek out asylum with me and beg to join my pack. This Kendrick came with an army of dragons and wolves like you said. His dragons are powerful. I am told just one of them was able to kill fifty wolves before it took six of them to bring him down. He had to be at least two-thousand years old to pull that off.”
Shit! This was not the kind of news I wanted to fall asleep on, but I knew I had to recharge. If Kendrick was coming this way, we all had to be ready. I knew I didn’t need to tell Josef how to prepare his pack. He’d already had watch and sleep details going so each of his wolves would be alert.
I sighed. “Akio was the strongest among all of you, is that correct?”
“True. And he had the largest pack. All of whom were with him at the time. Only about twenty managed to escape. The wolf in love with my human being one of them.”
“Would you take these cowards into your pack?”
“No sin in knowing you’re outnumbered. No shame in regrouping and changing your strategy. Retreating is a smart tactic when the odds are against you. I will challenge these wolves before I allow them in my pack. Like you said, I don’t have room for cowards.”
Before I judged him on his words, I had to think back to a time when my Father, as powerful as he was, once had to retreat into dragon territory in order to save our people from wolves, no less. I had to admit, it was a well-organized attack that gave them the outcome they had desired. Their freedom. I remembered the shame and rage on my Father’s face. I felt it as I carried him to safety and knew it was the last thing he’d wanted to do, but had no choice. It took us a long time to rebuild back to the empire we once were and since that night, we never ran from a fight again. But yes, retreating had saved our lives.
“Fair enough. What else can you tell me?”
“They fight like one unit. The wolves and dragons work together. He is the dragon King and wolf Alpha. Didn’t think I’d ever see the day when wolves and dragons united. Well, technically, I haven’t seen it and hope that the buck stopped at Laurent and Akio, but I doubt it,” Deacon said.
He knew as I knew, this Kendrick Sahr was a greedy one. He already had land when he took over Laurent’s territory, but still that wasn’t enough. In a few hours’ time, he attacked Akio. It was safe to assume Deacon would be next. Now, I was in a bit of a dilemma. I could let Deacon handle this on his own and he’d probably end up like the others. Dead. Or, I could send him some of my wolves to aid
him. My wolves were all immune to dragon venom and I was sure that was one thing that had taken out all those wolves faster than brute force. Just one bite, one drop of dragon venom in the bloodstream, was enough to get the job done.
If I sent aid, it would solidify the alliance I had with Deacon. However, if I let him die and take on this new force with my vampires and wolves, I might just be able to take him out, especially if I could convince Evander to join me. With Deacon out of the way, all of the territory that was once his and the territory that was Kendrick’s could all be mine. Ahhh, decisions, decisions. I decided to gamble on this one. Let Deacon defend his own.
“Keep me posted if you find out anything else.”
“And if I’m attacked?” Deacon asked.
I was expecting that question and was ready. “We have to regroup here as well. We might be next. Akio’s territory isn’t too far from Josef’s. I think at this point, it’s every man for himself. If I send resources to help you and we’re attacked, my vampires are helpless. We might not be able to survive at all. I’ll need every wolf here until sunset. If by nightfall neither of us is attacked, I’ll send resources to you and together we can both attack him from two or three different directions.”
“You fucking vampires really are pathetic sometimes,” Deacon fussed.
“Watch your mouth, mutt,” I warned.
“Am I lying? You just said your vampires are useless until sunset.”
“‘Helpless’, there’s a difference. Like I said, watch your mouth.”
“Fine, whatever. We have at least… what… five hours until sunset? That’s five hours we better hope he doesn’t attack.” Deacon sighed—heavily. “I’m going to combine my forces and retreat to my Forrest Grove territory. If I’m attacked first, I’ll need the full force of my pack, especially since it seems I can’t count on you.” With that, he ended the call. I didn’t care too much for being hung up on. Yes, here was hoping Deacon was attacked first, then eliminated. I was immune to dragon venom and I had an antidote for wolf venom. That was something those other leaders had lacked. If Kendrick came for me, I might be able to negotiate a one on one battle. He did it for Laurent, maybe he’d agree to it with me.
