KnightForce Deuces (29 page)

“I heard he was dead and Asia stole his
memories,” Angus said smiling.

Silas smiled. Asia was a mystery, her
physiology wasn’t 100 percent wolf. But she served the Goddess and
Jasmine faithfully. “Yes she did. Lots of information. I sent Brix
and Leon to clear out the remaining labs in the States. And sent
another team to raid a supply container and another group to a
place where he had been living.”

Angus nodded. “Congratulations, you rid the
States of the Liege.”

“Yeah, we did. There are three more. I sent
Barticus their names, he’ll handle them.”

“Three? Do you know their names?” Angus
asked.

Silas looked through the pages on his desk and
then handed a paper to Angus.

Angus whistled. “Koolong and
Crysman.”

“Koolong is well-known in financial circles.
Barticus was surprised as well. He plans to grab that one and is
sending others after Crysman. Which leaves Roderick,” Silas
said.

“I’d love to catch that bastard,” Angus said in
a conversational tone. “We have unfinished business.”

“The chameleon?” Silas asked.

“Not really. He ordered his surgeons to
experiment on me, I took exception, tore up his lab. I always
wanted to gut him for that and his role in stealing
full-bloods.”

Silas sat forward with his hands clasped
between his knees. “Well, you’ll need to put your quest for
vengeance on hold. First we celebrate our deceased pack members.”
His voice dropped an octave as he thought of Froggy and the
others.

“When?”

“Tonight.” Silas paused. “I waited for
you.”

“Thank you. I’ll miss the old bastard. He was a
good friend,” Angus said.

“Yes he was. In the next few days we need to
prepare for the arrival of the trainees.”

Angus met Silas’ gaze.
“KnightForce?”

“Yes. I pushed it back two days, the trainees
have been informed and all have replied. That doesn’t give you much
time to rest after being away but I want KnightForce activated and
in the field as soon as possible,” Silas said. “The information we
retrieved from that lab leads me to believe the base portion of the
drug that blinds us to scents came from somewhere else.”

“Stolen?”

Silas nodded. “Like the poison used in the
water here. Hawke picked up on it first. The language and one
ingredient is unavailable to the public. They’ve been experimenting
on ways to shut us down –”

“Or to become as strong as us,” Angus
said.

“Yes. If we cannot scent them as they approach,
they gain an advantage. But when you mess with nature like that,
the price is heavy.”

“Damage to our wolf?”

“Yes, big-time. If a full-blood uses the
dampener drug, he’s killing his beast,” Silas said.

“Have you informed the Alphas about the drugs?”
Angus asked.

“Yes and I warned all wolves about the dangers
of the scent-eliminating drugs and what to expect from humans who
are amped up on the other stuff,” Silas said. “Those warnings will
play on the new system Hawke created, all day for the next month,
no one will have an excuse for ignorance.”

“Good. How’s Jasmine?”

“Great. I am a fortunate wolf.”

“Yes you are. How’s Rone’s son?” Angus
asked.

Silas pursed his lips. “From what I’ve been
told, he’s getting better each hour.”

“You haven’t seen him?”

“No. I lifted the quarantine two hours ago and
have been busy. I’ll pay him a visit later.” Silas paused and
stared at Angus. “What do you know of a Black Wolf who visits in
dreams and goes by the name Grandfather?”

Angus sat back in his chair, steepled his
fingers beneath his chin and met Silas’ gaze. “I have seen him in
dreams. In the past he has provided me with warnings, information
and comfort. I’ve never sensed anything bad or demonic about him.
Who calls him Grandfather?” He paused and then smiled. “David? Has
the Black Wolf made himself known to David and not the
others?”

“Why are you smiling? The Black Wolf contacted
you and my pup but not me.” Silas told Angus about the incident
with David touching Asia.

“And it calmed her beast?” Angus
asked.

Silas nodded and wondered at the puzzled look
on his litter-mate’s face. “What are you thinking?”

Angus licked his lips. “Just… I was an adult
when he came to me. Old enough not to need parental permission. How
long have he and David been talking?”

“Before he was healed.” That admission
disturbed Silas.

Angus released a breath and shook his head.
“Don’t know why that happened, sounds like he liked your boy and
introduced himself early.”

“Sarita too.” Silas looked at the comical
surprised expression on Angus face.

“Sarita? Hawke’s pup?”

Silas nodded.

“Those are the only two he’s talked with?”
Angus asked.

“So far. Tell me, is this normal? Do I have
anything to be concerned about?” Silas asked, unsure what he could
do about it in any case. But he trusted Angus would warn him if
there was any danger.

“Normal?” Angus chuckled and rubbed his nose.
“We’re more animal than human, living in the shadows while
celebrating our superiority. Nothing’s been normal about us in
centuries. As far as being concerned, I can only reflect on my
positive experiences with the Black Wolf. He’s been
great.”

Silas released a breath as he nodded. “Good to
know. If your assessment changes, please let me know.”

“Will do.”

The door opened and Jasmine walked in. Her
scent slammed into Silas and his dick hardened.

Her face lit when she saw Angus who stood and
took her outstretched hand before placing a small kiss on her
cheek.

“I heard you were back, it’s good to see you,”
she said releasing him and making her way to Silas.

“Good to see you as well. I’m on my way to the
nursery to see the pups,” Angus said backing up a few steps. “I
will see you both at the life celebration for Frogs later.” He
waved and left the room.

Silas snaked his arm around Jasmine’s waist
pulling her closer. The flat of her palms rested on his chest. He
placed a finger beneath her chin and bent forward, brushing his
lips across hers. Her natural scent filled his nostrils, calming
his beast.

She leaned back slightly, exposing the long
column of her neck.

He followed with a trail of kisses and stopped
at the base of her throat. His beast rumbled, the sound vibrated
against her skin.

“I’ve wanted and needed you for days but we
keep getting interrupted. Not this time, Sweet Bitch. You’re mine
until we’re done. Which won’t happen anytime soon.”

Her breath caught. “Silas.”

Nothing sounded as good as his name on her
lips. He shuddered and held her tighter.

“Silas,” she said on a breathy moan as her arm
reached up and wrapped around his neck.

He bent, picked her up and pushed the button
locking the door to his office. Her head lay on his chest as he
moved toward the wide sofa in the back of the room.

“I came to tell you something,” she said softly
as he lay her down.

He removed one shoe and then the other while
holding her gaze. “Tell me later.”

Jasmine pulled her blouse over her head and
tossed it aside and then unsnapped her bra. She smiled at him and
then leaned back.

Mouth dry, he toed off his shoes, while pulling
off his shirt.

“Nice,” Jasmine murmured. The scent of her
arousal beat against him. His beast demanded they take their mate.
He shoved down his pants and stepped out of them, while holding his
leaking cock. Pride at the lust in his woman’s eyes, as she stared
at him, filled him. “I want you,” Jasmine whispered and lay flat on
the sofa, opening her legs wide.

“Take that off,” he said, his voice a needy,
low growl. He pointed to her thong. When she shimmied out of it and
tossed it aside, his cock hardened. “Bless the Goddess, you’re
beautiful.” He ran his finger between her legs and sucked her
juices off his finger. “And you taste so good.” Kneeling on the bed
between her legs, he pushed her legs open, leaned forward and
licked her folds.

Jasmine moaned. “Next time, Silas. Right now, I
need you to fill me.”

Her words struck a chord in him. His beast
howled and pushed to be inside her. Silas had waited, what he
considered a long time to be with his mate and refused to rush.
Tasting her was his appetizer of choice and they were just getting
started.

She yanked on his hair.

Silas laughed against her sweet lips and then
sucked her clit.

“Now Silas,” she growled squeezing him between
her legs. She trembled beneath his sensual assault.

“I’ve missed this,” he murmured, placing kisses
up her mound, her belly and then latching onto a nipple.

A shudder wracked her body as her arms
tightened around him. “Silas, please,” she said on a long
moan.

His beast howled, demanding they take her now.
Sweat dripped from his forehead onto her chest as he rolled her
tight nipples across his tongue. Eager to join with her, he kissed
the other nipple briefly, rose up and slid inside her tight
sheath.

Jasmine’s back arched. Her mouth opened wide
and then her body shook. The muscles in her core spasmed around
him. Gritting his teeth, Silas remained still until the shudders
lessened. He pulled out and then thrust forward, reveling in her
hot, tight canal.

Silas slammed into her, excited by her moans of
pleasure and demands for it faster, harder and deeper. Grunts,
moans and slapping flesh created background music as they spiraled
higher and higher. Tension coiled in his back as the need for
release increased. His heart raced. Thought fled as he flew over
the crest of sublime ecstasy, filling her with his
essence.

Jasmine’s shouted her release in a husky voice
filled with contentment. Now that they pleased their mate, his
beast relaxed. Silas’ forehead dropped against
Jasmine’s.

“You’re sweaty,” she said with a chuckle in her
voice.

He tried to move but she wrapped her arms and
legs around him, holding him in place. “I like it.”

“Hmm?”

Her hand ran up and down his back, soothing and
stimulating at the same time. “I like that you give me everything
when we make love. You give me your total focus and that’s
sexy.”

Her words went straight to his dick, causing it
to jump.

She laughed and slapped his ass. “No, I really
came to tell you something.”

Silas rolled to his side, bringing her with
him. Lying face to face, he traced the outline of her face with his
fingertip. “I love you,” he whispered, meeting her gaze.

Her eyes became shiny and she blinked a few
times before smiling at him. “I love you so much,
Wolfie.”

Smiling, he brushed a kiss across her brow.
“Sweet Bitch, what did you come to tell me?”

“Oh… someone named Melch wants to talk to you.
Jacques said it’s important. The call came as I was leaving his
office to come here and he asked me to tell you.” She frowned.
“You’re linked with him, right?”

Silas nodded.

“Wonder why he didn’t tell you that
way?”

Basking in her scent and warmth, he kissed her
forehead. “Because he’s my friend and once you said you were on
your way to me, he knew I would do what we just did. Nothing is
more important than taking care of you.”

“So, he gave me this message because he assumed
we would have sex?” Her brow rose.

“No assumption, he was certain, just as Angus
was certain. When you walked in earlier I smelled your need. Plus
you had this look in your eyes, like full-blood bitches do when
they need to mate.”

She thumped his chest with her fist. “I did
not.”

“Oh, well I misread the signs because I needed
you,” he said palming her ass.

Jasmine sighed and looked up at him. “One more
round and then I’ll let you get back to work.”

Silas smiled as he captured her lips for a deep
kiss. “
Sweet Bitch
.”

Chapter 27

Silas and Jasmine walked hand in hand to the
nursery. He kissed her, hard. Letting her know he would take her
again and again if she wanted. Her arms wrapped around his neck,
pulling him closer, deepening their kiss and commitment to each
other. She forgave him for his lack of judgment during the
quarantine. He thanked the Goddess for a strong, smart mate. She
saw things differently and helped him to understand changes were
necessary for their Nation to thrive.

When they broke for air, she wiped her thumb
across his lips and smiled up at him. “I need to check on the kids.
No telling what they’ve been into.”

He loosened his hold, his hands slid down her
back and cupped her ass. “They’re good pups. No harm in a few
pranks.”
