Full Moon Mating [Wolf Creek Pack 1] (12 page)

“I know pack law!” Joe shouted. “I enforce it on a daily basis. I also know that any pack member can take the punishment in place of

his or her mate. I will not subject Nate to this punishment. He doesn’t understand what he did wrong, and he’s not strong enough to take ten lashes from a whip. You know that as well as I do.”

“Joseph—”

“Nate is my mate, and this is my decision. I’ve made it.”

Daniel took a deep breath and let it out slowly before nodding his head. “Very well. I’ll gather the pack, and we’ll meet in the ceremonial circle in two hours to carry out this punishment.”

Joe watched his father turn and walk to the door, pausing briefly to look back at him. He could see the sympathy and understanding in his eyes along with a large amount of pride.

“I disagree with your decision, Joseph, but I understand why you are doing this. I’m proud of you for defending your mate. You’ve grown into a strong man, a good man.”

Joe felt tears spring to his eyes at his father’s praise. He had always known that his father was proud of him, but it was still nice to hear. He nodded to his father, his throat too clogged with emotion to answer him verbally.

“I’m going to take your mother home for now. I’ll send her back over to sit with Nate in a little while. He needs to not be alone right now.”

“Thank you.”

“Are you going to tell him?”

“No. He’ll just worry. I’ll tell him afterwards,” Joe replied as a small smile crossed his lips.

Daniel nodded before turning and walking out of the room. A moment later Joe heard the front door shut. Then their car started, and they drove away. Now he had to figure out how to deal with his mate.

Joe knew that Nate didn’t understand what was going on. How could he? None of this had been explained to him. They hadn’t had their official mating ceremony, so most things had not been explained to him.

He wasn’t going to understand this, and Joe wasn’t sure he could adequately explain it to him. He had broken a pack law, one that could not be brushed under the carpet. Even if he wanted to, Roger would never let him.

Roger was a pain in his ass and had been since Joe had become the pack enforcer. Roger had wanted the position and felt that Joe had gotten it only because he was the alpha’s son. The truth was that Roger didn’t have the temperament for the job. He saw it more as a power position and not a duty to his pack.

It didn’t help that Roger was jealous of Joe finding his mate. Or maybe he was just jealous because of who his mate was. Nate was a gorgeous man. Roger was the type of man who would respond to that.

As much as he felt the enforcer position was one of power, he would want the perfect mate on his arm.

Joe knew that Roger was just as gay as he was. They had almost fooled around once, many years ago. It was one of the main reasons Roger was so furious with him. Joe had been attracted to Roger for a brief amount of time but had decided he didn’t want to get involved with him after one kiss. Roger just wasn’t for him.

Roger hadn’t taken it well. He hadn’t really been interested in Joe as a person. He had wanted the prestige that went along with dating the alpha’s oldest son. Joe had quickly figured that out and dropped him like a hot rock.

After that, Roger had done everything he could to make Joe’s life miserable, including refusing to drop the charges against Nate for assault. Now, Joe would have to pay for Nate’s crime.

There really was no other way. His little mate was too fragile to take the punishment required to meet the demands of this type of crime. He would be horribly injured, maybe even scarred for life. Joe couldn’t let that happen. It was his duty to protect his mate at all costs, even from this.

Joe walked into the living room, making sure the front door was locked before heading upstairs. He had a little less than two hours

with Nate before he had to leave, and he didn’t plan on spending it downstairs in his office. He preferred to spend it upstairs with his mate.

He shook his head when he got upstairs and saw the closed door.

That obviously meant that Nate wasn’t happy with him. Talk about passive-aggressive behavior. Well, one closed door wasn’t going to stop him.

Neither is a locked door,
Joe thought as he grabbed the handle and tried to turn it. Stepping back, he raised his foot and used it to kick in the door. He watched the door slam back against the wall. Nate jumped up from where he had been sleeping and looking towards the door in alarm.

Joe walked into the room, his eyebrow raised as he looked at Nate, daring him to refuse him entry. His eyes intent on Nate, he began unbuttoning his shirt, dropping it on the floor. His shoes and jeans immediately followed.

He watched Nate’s eyes widen as he grabbed the bottle of lube off the dresser and began crawling up the end of the bed towards him. He smirked when he saw that Nate was not unaffected by his aggressive and silent behavior. The proof was rising right before his eyes.

Joe heard Nate cry out as he grabbed him by the hips and flipped him over onto his stomach. He stretched over Nate, grabbing his hands and stretching them over his head. He placed Nate’s hands on the round bars of the antique wrought iron headboard.

Leaning back, he knelt between Nate’s legs. His eyes traveled down Nate’s naked back to his nice round ass. He could just see the edge of Nate’s sac resting on the bed below him, his hard cock mashed into the mattress.

Grabbing the bottle of lube, he flipped the cap open and squirted some between Nate’s ass cheeks. He added some to his cock then stroked himself several times to lube the entire length. He squeezed a little more onto his fingers.

Closing the cap, he tossed the bottle onto the bed. His attention moved to the body before him. Joe reached down to grab at Nate’s hips, pulling him back until Nate got the idea, moving back to kneel on his legs.

Oh yes, that’s where he wanted him, right there where all of his beautiful bits and pieces were on display. Running his lubed fingers down the crack of Nate’s ass, he began rubbing in the lube he had squirted on him, his fingers purposely avoiding direct contact with his eager little hole. He just grazed the edges.

He knew he was driving Nate out of his mind. He could hear small whimpers coming from him as he buried his head in the pillows.

He wanted him out of his mind. He wanted Nate to lose all control.

Joe knew he wasn’t thinking rationally. He was filled with a desire to control Nate, to dominate him, master him. He couldn’t seem to help himself. He wondered briefly if it was his personality or the wolf in him, but he didn’t really care at that moment.

He had an uncontrollable urge to dominate his mate and make him yield to his stronger nature. Nate’s natural submissiveness wasn’t enough this time. He needed to
make
him surrender. If he had been in wolf form, he would want Nate to be running from him right now so that he could hunt him down and claim him.

That thought in mind, Joe pushed two fingers deep inside of Nate, quickly stretching him until he could add a third. As quickly as he had stretched him, he pulled his fingers free and replaced them with his cock, thrusting deep within him with no warning.

Before Nate could accustom himself to Joe’s swift invasion, Joe began a fast, steady pace, furiously thrusting into him. His hands gripped Nate’s hips as he leaned over and began biting the soft skin on his shoulders and neck.

He could feel Nate quickly building towards an orgasm by the twitching of his body, the tightening of his muscles around Joe’s hard cock. Reaching beneath Nate’s body, he grabbed his cock, quickly stroking him even as he continued the relentless pounding in his ass.

When Nate came, screaming out his name into the pillow, Joe quickly pulled out and flipped him onto his back. Pushing his knees up to his chest, he thrust back into him, starting his rapid thrusts once again before Nate had time to come down from his climax.

His hands moved to Nate’s nipples. He pulled on them, pinched them between his fingers. He scraped his mouth over the mating bite to make Nate squirm, but didn’t sink them in.

Joe grabbed the sides of Nate’s head, his fingers sinking into his golden hair to hold his head in place as he ravished him. He licked at Nate’s lips before sinking deep inside to explore every inch of his mouth.

He could hear small whimpers coming from Nate, heralding his next orgasm. He felt the hot liquid spill against his stomach as Nate came again, his entire body shaking from the force of his release. He could feel Nate’s inner muscles tightening around his cock. Sweat dripped from Nate’s body, making his hot skin slick.

Still he continued pumping into him, his thrusts increasing in speed and strength. He wasn’t ready to let Nate go yet. He needed more from him. Nate wasn’t mindless with desire yet. He wasn’t begging for release. He wasn’t surrendering…but he would.

Joe began making little bite marks all over Nate’s chest, his throat, his shoulders. He knew the marks wouldn’t go away immediately, but he didn’t care. He was marking Nate as his for everyone to see. He would leave no doubt as to whom Nate belonged to, who had claimed him.

Still holding Nate’s head, Joe raised his to look down into Nate’s eyes. He could see the soft moss green in them shining up at him, silently begging for understanding. He knew Nate didn’t understand what was going on with him. He didn’t understand it himself.

When Nate gazed up at him, then slowly arched his head back, submissively baring his neck, Joe couldn’t control himself any longer.

He leaned down and sank his canines deep into his skin, savoring the honey sweet taste of his mate even as he felt his release overtake him.

Refusing to release Nate’s mating mark, he roared out his orgasm through his teeth, his hips thrusting one last time in a deep plunge as he emptied himself into his mate, filling him and marking him as his.

As he felt his knot extend to take hold inside of Nate, he distantly heard him cry out again. He growled, knowing that his knot had taken hold of Nate’s sweet spot, and moved his hips enough to draw out Nate’s pleasure even as the knot prolonged his own.

It seemed like hours later that Joe was able to lick the mating mark closed and lift his head to look down at his mate. He chuckled softly when he found Nate’s eyes closed, a soft snoring sound coming from his smiling lips.

Once the knot had receded, he pulled free of his little mate and rolled to the side of the bed to go to the bathroom and get a clean wet washcloth to clean himself up. He grabbed an extra one to clean Nate up.

Once he was done, he dropped the washcloths into the hamper. He grabbed his clothes and pulled them back on. His time limit was about up. His mom should be here soon, which meant he was due at the ceremonial circle.

Sitting on the side of the bed, Joe pulled the covers up over his sleeping mate. He hoped that he could be done with this and return home before Nate woke up, but probably not. And once Nate found out what had happened, he was not going to be happy. Joe would just have to deal with that later.

Right now, he needed to get his head away from his mate’s luscious body and on the coming events. He needed everything in him to get through this. Thoughts of Nate might comfort him, but he knew if Roger opened his mouth concerning his mate, he would be in more trouble than he was right now. He’d kill him.

Joe leaned down to place a small kiss on Nate’s lips, his eyes devouring his sweet face. “Love you, baby,” he whispered before getting to his feet and turning to leave the room. He felt tears gather in

his eyes as he walked away, not looking back at the beautiful man in his bed, the man who owned him heart, body, and soul.

Nate opened his eyes slowly, his entire body feeling relaxed even as he felt a twinge here and there. He smiled at the memory of what had given him those twinges even as he reached across the bed for Joe, his hand coming up empty.

Lifting his head, he looked around the room. It was obvious that Joe wasn’t in the bedroom. The moonlight shining through the window gave him just enough light to see everything. And Joe was not here.

He rolled to the side of the bed and reached for his clothes. He quickly pulling on his jeans and shirt before racing out the bedroom door and down the stairs. Reaching the first floor, he could hear noises coming from the kitchen.

Hesitant, he walked slowly towards the kitchen. The last time he had heard noises, he had found a stranger in his house. Who would he find this time? He was hoping to find Joe, which was why he felt disappointed when he spotted Maryann sitting at the dining table.

“Hey, Maryann, where’s Joe?” he asked as he walked in and she looked up.

Maryann quickly looked down at her cup of tea. She looked nervous. “He didn’t tell you?”

“Uh, no,” Nate replied, turning a little red. “He kind of left before I woke up.”

“He…uh…he has pack business to attend to,” Maryann replied, her hands fidgeting with her teacup.

Nate looked at her, noting her agitation. “Maryann, what’s wrong?

What has you so upset?” he asked as he sat down next to her. He

wondered if Daniel had told her about his ability to read people’s emotions.

“I…I’m just upset over this whole business with
that
man.”

“You mean the one that broke into the house?” he asked curiously, wondering what Maryann knew about it. “Well, I don’t know who he is, and I’m completely puzzled that Joe let him go after he went through Joe’s files, but I figure that Joe—”

“He went through Joe’s files?” Maryann squeaked, turning to look at Nate in concern.

“Yeah, why do you think I knocked him out and tied him up?”
