Williams POV

　　After the way Sid spoke to Jake and Angel, he shifted and ran off leaving Jake furious. He ordered two of the pack trackers he bought with him to track him down and bring him back. I knew how he felt, I know how hard it was to cope with the pain after Vanessa died and being as his mate only rejected him, I knew he would be ok after a short period of time. I wasn't sure why Ariel had rejected Sid though. I know she used her father now being dead as the reason, yet I couldn't fathom why that mattered to her. By the way he spoke to her and the state her face was in whilst it healed from whatever beating she had endured, it was clear to everyone present that Jason held no love nor remorse towards her.

　　Ariel looked to be the same age as Angel which meant she had to have been born well before Jason took over the Royal Kingdom. Not once during our 'friendship' did he revel that he had been seeing anyone, let alone that she had carried his pup. I couldn't help but wonder where her mother was, she could be a prisoner of his or even dead for all I know.

　　"You do you know who Ariel's mother is and where I can find her?" I asked one of the Royal Pack warriors that had surrendered after waking up to find their Alpha dead.

　　"Yes Sir. Her name was Jules, Alpha Jason banished her after she threatened to tell Luna Crystal that Ariel was his"

　　"Did Ariel know where her mother went?"

　　"No sir. Ariel has spent most of her life locked up. Alpha Jason said she was an insurance policy to stop Jules telling anyone about him being the father"

　　"Tell me this, that girl had clearly been beaten and with silver instruments before she received her wolf judging by her scar. Were you one of the wolves to beat her?"

　　"Once…. She had upset Luna Crystal, she called her a gold-digging slut. Alpha Jason had me strip Ariel of her clothing and chain her to the wall outside. He wanted her embarrassed before beating her. That's also when Jules was banished. After she found Ariel distressed and barely breathing, she threatened to revel all" he told me whilst looking to the floor.

　　"She got that right; Crystal certainly was a slut" Jake chimed in walking up beside me.

　　"OMG you slept with her didn't you!" Angel shouted understanding the meaning in Jakes words.

　　"Shit" Jake muttered under his breath as he ran after Angel who had stormed off.

　　After laughing at Jake for clearly being whipped I turned my attention back to the royal pack wolves that had remained on their knees in front of me. I wasn't going to punish them, after all they were only carrying out an order commanded to them by their now dead Alpha. I sent them away with a message to spread throughout the kingdom, their rightful Alpha King had returned.

　　After spending the last two hours on the phone I had the migraine from hell. I had been updating Elder Otis and Elder Tom via a three-way video call regarding Jason's demise. It was clear by their reactions that they were pleased with the outcome, though they wanted to meet Rita and add to what they already knew of Moon Protectors. At first, I wasn't sure whether or not I should disclose the truth to them surrounding how Jason died, wanting to keep it a secret until I had officially marked Rita making her my Luna. That was until Maximus reprimanded me, he reminded me of the importance about sharing our mate's identity to the Royal Pack. Neither he nor I wanted a repeat of the past mistake that cost our first mate her life.

　　"Knock Knock" Rita's calm soft voice came from the corridor.

　　"Who's there" I chuckled.

　　"Mate"

　　"Mate who"

　　"Oh really" Rita chuckled as she walked into the office.

　　When Rita walked over to me, I grabbed her by the waist pulling her onto my lap. Putting my face into the crook of her neck I took a deep breath inhaling her scent of spiced apples. Her scent alone made me feel all warm and tingly but when the sparks from her touch were thrown in, my god it was hard not to take her there and then.

　　"Well, this office looks like it has seen better days" Rita told me as she looked around the room.

　　She wasn't wrong, this room used to be bright, warm, and inviting flowing with creams and gold tones. Now it was the complete opposite. The walls were a dull shade a blue and this lighting made the room feel cold. Now that I'm back I intended to restore this room along with the rest of the palace, kingdom included to its former glory.

　　"Well, why don't you go and lock the door and we can show this room one of the better days it has to come" I told her while moving my hand up her thigh under her skirt.

　　As soon Rita locked the door, she turned around walking straight into me not realizing I had walked up behind her. The second she looked up at me with her chocolate eyes I felt my restraint snap like a thin fragile elastic band forcing my lips to meet with hers. Slowly I backed her up against the wall while our tongues fought for dominance. Moving my kisses down her neck I grabbed ahold of her leg bringing it up to my waist before moving my hand further up until I felt the dampness of her underwear from her arousal. Maximus purred with approval knowing she was ours and that we were finally going to mate and mark.

　　Rita placed one of her hands on the side of my head running her fingers through my hair as the other hand fiddled with the belt on my trousers. As she slipped her hand into my boxer shorts her eyes widened when she felt my hardened length.

　　"Wow that's big" she spoke into the kiss causing me to chuckle.

　　"Yes, and it's all yours my dear"

　　Her hand wrapped around my hardened length causing it to twitch, this had been the first time since losing Vanessa that I had been with another woman. Obviously, I had needs but had to take care of it myself and let's face it, it's not as fun.

　　As Rita's hand began to work its magic, I picked her up laying her down on the grey rug that ran the length of the room. Extending my claws, I ripped her top and skirt from her body leaving her in her lingerie. Her body was perfect for me, even though we weren't young anymore she was still toned and still held her curves in all the right places. I moved my kisses down her neck to her chest pulling her breasts out of the bra she wore. I played with one nipple while gently sucking on the other. The smell of Rita's arousal was so strong I couldn't contain myself much longer and I knew this was going to be over quick. Pulling her legs apart I lowered my face taking in the smell of her arousal. I had done this to her, and it made me ever hornier.

　　As I began to lick her cl*t, Rita entangled her hands in my hair pulling my face closer to her core. Inserting two fingers I began pumping in time with flicks of my tongue not stopping until she screamed from reaching her orgasm. F*ck she tasted good. Getting onto my knees I pulled her closed to me before pushing me hardened c*ck into her causing her to moan in pleasure as it hit her walls. Placing her legs over my shoulders I pounded into her until she reached her second orgasm making her cum all over my c*ck.

　　"Yes William…. F*ck me. F*ck me hard" Rita moaned as her eyes rolled into the back of her head.

　　I pulled Rita onto my lap pushing my c*ck further into her until she was sitting on my whole length. While she bounced up and down, I rubber her cl*t making her bounce harder. When I could feel myself about to blow, I pulled her neck towards me extending my canines and piercing them into her flawless skin causing her to reach her final climax. As I released my grip on her Rita extended her own canines marking me in return causing me to blow harder than I could ever remember blowing before.

　　"OH SHIT, EW OLD PEOPLE SEX" I turned to face the door only to see a horrified looking Angel standing in the doorway to the office. Jake beside her trying his best not to laugh.
