Jordan's Misunderstanding (12 page)

But there are a few who have disappeared, I am sure there are more, we will have to wait and see. Any word from Devon?”

Quin sighed. “Sure. Jordan is not speaking to any of them and no one knows who this Master guy is. Basically, nothing new. We have to get Jordan back here with her mates.

We can"t have this separation right now. If the Rogues attacked again, we would not be able to help her. Devon and Sid are going to try to talk to her again this afternoon.” Jaden made a frustrated noise and then yelled, “WHY?”

“Because we are in hell.” Quin said calmly. “My father and mother are coming out.”

“Shit, we are in hell.” Jaden said.

“Yeah, they are bringing yours.” Quin laughed.

The phone rang and Quin hit the speaker phone. “Quin.” He said briskly.

***

“Quin, this is Ryan Greene, Prime of the Northern Pride.” Quin sat up straighter and leaned over his desk.

“Hey, Ryan, what"s up?” Quin said tensely. He liked Ryan, he was a good Prime. They had dealt with him in the past and liked him. They had sent Warriors to help them recently.

“Well, we have kind of a little problem here; I hope I can facilitate some kind of arrangement.” Ryan said smoothly and winked at Jordan.

“What kind of problem?” Quin said slowly.

“A Chosen one problem. Jordan has become one of my Pride, since she mated with two of my Pridemates. She is requesting to remain part of the Pride but still come and take her place on the Council.” Ryan said.

“All the Chosen belong to the New Council Pack.” Quin said firmly.

“Well that seems to be a problem then. She will not pledge to the Pack. She wants to have her own house, outside of the compound. In addition, she refuses to talk about her personal business with anyone but her mates. She will attend meetings and do her duties as they are lined out. Like a business deal. She has certain conditions as well.

Jordan does not want to see or talk about Oliver. She will refrain from that vote.

Jordan is looking for her birth family and wants no interference from anyone. Also, she will be traveling back to Colorado with my mate and me. We will stay until her new home is built and she is comfortable. I have sent out my best construction crew already, they are seeking a plot of land suitable. Her security will be provided by my Pride, period.” Ryan continued.

“Holy shit, Ryan. What you are asking for is going against everything that we have established.” Quin said.

“If you want Jordan to come to Colorado, then these are the stipulations.” Ryan said with an edge to his voice. Jordan shivered and she could see her mated bow their heads.

He was giving off serious power. Ariel sat by her side and covered her mouth to keep from laughing.

“Ryan, may I speak to Jordan?” Quin said.

Ryan looked at her and she nodded. “She is in the room and you are on speaker phone.” Quin sighed and then said, “Jordan, I am sorry about this whole mess. I want to arrange something for all of us, to make this work.”

Jordan looked at her mates and bit her lip. Ariel held her hand tighter and she felt the power flow from her. “Quin, I am sorry too. But these are my rules. I will not put myself out there right now. I will agree to keep an open mind for the future, but if you want me to come there, I have to do it my way. That is the only way I will come. If not, then I will go about my life and wish you all well.” There was silence on the other end and she held her breath. “Jordan, I am not sure how this is going to work, but I would really like you here. I can assure you that we will do whatever possible to make you welcome and comfortable.” Jordan nodded and said, “Thank you, Quin. Romy and Larkin will be making arrangements with Ryan for our arrival. We will let you know.” Ryan held up his hand and said, “Actually, we will be there tomorrow. Our plane arrives at noon.”

“Someone will meet you at the airport.” Quin said.

“Actually, we have rented cars, we will come to Milliken. I will call you when we get there. I believe we already have reservations at your hotel.” Ryan said.

“Okay. See you then.” Quin said with a tense tone and hung up the phone. “Well, fuck a duck.” He said to his mate Jaden.

Jaden nodded and looked out the window. “Should I call Sid and Devon?”

“Yeah, they need to come home immediately. I think that we are going to have to make some interesting arrangements for all of this. Jordan seems adamant; I think she is going to be stubborn. I don"t know how we are going to deal with this.” Quin said and wiped his face tiredly. “Well, let"s get this over with.” He pushed buttons on the phone and waited for his Beta to answer. “Devon, here.”

“Dev, I need you and your mates to get back home.” Quin said.

“Home? Sid won"t leave without Jordan.” Devon said warily.

“She"s coming here. Jordan will be here tomorrow. The Prime of the Northern Pride called a few minutes ago and informed me that Jordan would be arriving with him and his mate. She made stipulations, including she will not talk or discuss her personal life with anyone. Dev, man, I need you back here and I need your mates under control.” Quin said.

“Shit.” Devon said.

“Yeah, well welcome to my hell.” Quin said and hung up the phone.

“I wonder if we can get t-shirts and claim that as our new motto.” Jaden said and stood up. “I am going to go and see if I can beg my way back into the bedroom.”

“Good luck with that. The last time I pissed Cami off, I was sleeping on the couch for a week.” Quin said and laughed.

“I know, that is why I am going to go and talk to her. I remember what we did that week and I don"t want to miss out.” Jaden smiled and walked out the door.

Quin sat there for a minute, frowned, and then took off after his mate. This could wait.

Chapter 16

Braden sat in the room that Quin and Jaden gave him and smiled. Things were coming together. Oliver still had no memory of the night that Jordan"s parents were killed. Jo was a mess, and the New Council was divided.

He laughed when he thought about the conversation he had with Oliver.

“Braden, you have to tell them everything that you remember. Something may help.” Jo said.

“Jo, of course I will help. But as I told you, I came afterward. My Enforcers called me when Oliver wandered out of his rooms covered in blood. We searched the Pack house and found the Cheaster"s. They were in your father"s personal living area. He was drunk and did not make sense. All he kept saying was that they had to pay. We sobered up your father and I am ashamed to say that I convinced him that it would be best if we took care of it. Your father was not a bad man. He had a weak moment. Your mother had been killed and you presumed dead. Though I was sorry for their loss, the Cheaster"s deaths would have ruined your father. He was a great leader. Still is. I wish I would have done things differently, but I didn"t. I just hope that we can figure out something.” Braden said and looked as grim as he could.

“I still don"t remember what I was thinking. Where is the archived list of people who were at the Pack house that night?” Oliver said. Braden looked at him surprised because he was. How had the old man even thought about that?

“Alpha, I assume they are with the rest of the documents that we have stored. I will send someone immediately.” Braden said a thin coating of sweat covering his brow. He would not react.

“No bother, I have already sent someone.” Jo said and looked at her father. “I am going to talk to Cami and see if they have heard anything new.” Oliver had sat down on the bench in his cold cell and sighed. “She refuses to give up.” Braden wanted to smile but he held himself back. “Of course, Oliver, we refuse to give up.”

“If they have not found anything in a week, I will need your help my friend. I will not allow Jo to be put in the position to vote for my death.” Oliver said.

Braden had feigned shock and pleaded with Oliver to wait longer. Inside he was laughing. Oliver told him at the full moon he would take his own life rather than sit in the cell and wait. He deserved it. Braden agreed but did not say that. He told Oliver that he would do everything in his power to help.

Now he sat in the room and picked up his phone. “Roarke, we have a change of plans. I need you to intercept a package.”

“Why is this so important?” Roarke questioned.

Braden growled and then said, “Did you just question me?”

“No, Master, I was just wondering why it was so important. I mean, you have talked about Jordan for weeks, and now when she is in my grasp you are telling me to leave. I found out that tomorrow she would be coming to Colorado. I was going to take her at the airport.”

Braden paused and then said, “We will have to wait on that. Besides, once she is here I will be able to get a better read on the situation.”

“Master, she can identify you.” Roarke said.

“I realize that. My plan is to stay away from her until the time is right. Trust me, all I have to do is stay in the compound, and she will never see me. She refuses to come here unless it is for meetings.” Braden said.

“I will leave tonight then.” Roarke said quickly. He was worried that Braden was going to get even madder soon. The last time someone had screwed up, they had been beaten.

Roarke was silent as he passed along the information he had already gathered. It was simple really. They never looked into where he was or who he had been with. He was the Beta of the Old Council, He was The Master. No one would know he was the one who was gathering information.

It was stupid really, how he had forgotten about the records. Who did think of them, Braden wondered, and then went back to his computer. He had hacked the New Council"s computer downstairs when he first arrived. He wanted to see what they had been up to since he had last been here. Oh, so much.

Chapter 17

Jordan stood in the doorway of the bedroom of the penthouse and posed dramatically.

Her mates had been shopping earlier. She was wearing a long lacy green gown that was see-through. They were right that it looked great with her hair. She had let it fall loose around her shoulders and smiled at the picture she saw in front of her.

Larkin and Romy wore matching black silk pajama pants. They were lying on the bed with their arms behind their head, looking delicious. They were all hers.

“Well, what do you think?” Jordan said and turned around with her arms in the air.

“Perfection.” Romy said. “Now come here.”

“But I don"t want my present to get ruined.” She pouted and walked slowly towards her mates.

“That"s why we bought several of them. All in different colors and styles.” Larkin said and grabbed her. He pulled her into the middle of the bed and she giggled.

“Why, don"t they have stores in Colorado?” Jordan said and smiled up at them.

“No more talk. It"s our last night together before we will be in a hotel where everyone can hear us.” Romy growled and leaned down and kissed her.

Jordan opened her mouth and savored the intrusion. She did not want to go tomorrow but Ryan and Ariel said the sooner they got out there, the sooner Jordan would be able to get on with her life. Ariel said it was like a Band-Aid. The anticipation of pulling it off was worse than the actual pain. She needed to face the New Council.

Romy ran his hands down her body, as Larkin took her breasts in his hands. He licked them through the lace. The roughness of the lace over her nipple made her want more.

It was not enough. She yanked at her gown and tried to get it up. But both of them had her pinned to the bed.

“Now, who was going to ruin it?” Larkin smiled against her breast.

“Please.” She cried.

“Allow me.” Romy said and began kissing her again. She was lost in the sensation but sighed when she felt Larkin pull the gown over her legs. He kissed his way down her body, nudging her legs apart, as Romy took over teasing her nipples.

Larkin lifted her legs over his shoulders and smiled against her naked mound. They had shaved her earlier, and refused to give her any panties, claiming that they would get ruined anyway. She had laughed. It felt a little naughty having them take care of her in that way.

Larkin licked her folds and she almost came off the bed, she was so sensitive now. They were right when they said she would feel everything. She could feel his breath on her skin as he licked and teased her clit. He put a finger inside her and began pumping it in and out, as he flicked his tongue over her sensitive nub.

Romy pulled the nightgown off, she heard it tear a little, and she smiled. At least they had bought backups. Jordan did not have very many clothes left. Ryan arranged for her apartment to be packed up and sent to Colorado. They did not want her to go back. It was too much of a security risk they said. That was why her men went shopping. She had given them her sizes.

Romy latched on to one of her nipples and sucked it in his mouth hard. He rolled the nipple around and she could not decide what felt better. They had amazing mouths.

Jordan reached between her and Romy and grasped his thick cock in her hand. She could not get her hands fully around it. She pumped him a little and smiled when she felt his body respond and he stopped what he was doing for a minute.

“Oh baby!” He muttered against her breast as she moved her hand up and down.

Larkin looked up, smiled, and then began sucking her clit at the same rhythm that she set. Holy shit, she thought and almost lost her grip. But she continued and then Romy came back to life, licking and sucking at her breast. They all worked in concert together, playing with each other.

Larkin kissed her mound one more time and then kissed his way back up her body and captured her lips. She tasted herself in his mouth and moaned. It was exciting.

Romy pulled back and then watched as Larkin settled on the bed and pulled her on his lap until she straddled him. He smiled and then moved around so he was behind them.

Romy spanked Jordan lightly and then pulled and pushed her hips until he had her in the right place.

He used his hands to guide her down on Larkin"s cock as he watched from behind her.
