Once Rejected, Twice Desired
Chapter 24

Xander POV

As I felt Alaia’s body drift off to sleep, I couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming amount of pride.

She handled herself beautifully last night, taking everything I gave her without a single complaint and never straying from the rules.

I must say I was surprised when she told me she wanted pups. I didn’t have any problem with children but never pictured any of my own.

Not until she made it a possibility. The idea of watching her perfectly flat belly swell with life that I had put there made my c**k hard all over again.

I’d give her all the babies she wanted, all the pups she could stand.

She showed how perfect she was in every way, and I was in awe of her. I would do anything for her.

I leaned down and buried my nose in her hair and breathed deep.

She still smelled of the sweetest caramel, but now she held my scent as well. Everyone would know that she was mine.

I decided I’d let her rest for a few hours before I woke her up to start her day.

Even though I was still holding myself back last night, I went further than I had initially intended.

I never dreamed that Alaia would last with me taking her over and over until the sun came up, and the fact that she did just fueled my l**t.

It was a vicious cycle that I just couldn’t break.

I would go easier on her moving forward, at least until she was fully ready. Then she would experience the beast I could truly become.

But for now, she needed to rest and recharge. The pack needed their Luna and wouldn’t take no for an answer.

Alaia POV

I woke to the feeling of being carried through the air and slowly opened my eyes to see I was cradled in Xander’s arms.

“Good morning, beautiful. How did you sleep?” he asked while smiling down at me.

“Umm, I don’t believe you can call that ‘sleep’ Xander.”

“Let me rephrase then: How was your nap that followed the first of many nights where you get f****d into oblivion?”

My mouth dropped open, and I couldn’t speak.

Xander threw his head back and laughed before kissing my face.

“You’re so adorable; I don’t know how you do it.”

It was then that I noticed that Xander was carrying me into the bathroom and towards the huge tub.

It was filled with thick bubbles, and the steam that rose from them smelled of honey and lavender.

Once we were at the edge, Xander placed me on my feet before stepping inside and sinking down.

He then reached out his hand to help me in as well.

The heat of the water penetrated my sore muscles, and I instantly relaxed against Xander’s hard chest.

As I laid there, Xander grabbed a giant sponge, and after adding a generous amount of the same lavender and honey-scented bath gel, he began to rub it all over my aching body.

He was so gentle, almost as if he were afraid I would break.

Xander leaned me forward a bit and lovingly washed circles on my back. He then brought the sponge to my front, applying a thick lather to my breasts and stomach.

Without realizing, my n*****s had become rock hard, and my lotus flower was again dripping its nectar.

“Mmm, Little One, are you enjoying your bath? You smell better than all of the products here. The scent of your arousal will be my undoing.”

Xander then reached down between my legs and slowly slipped two fingers inside.

My back arched against his chest, and I grabbed the sides of the tub to steady myself.

I was still sore from last night, and this morning, but there was nothing that I wanted more than him inside me.

I could feel his c**k starting to harden and poke me in the back as his fingers continued to tease me at a painfully slow pace.

I grabbed on his wrist in an attempt to make him increase his tempo but was unsuccessful.

“Both hands on the edge of the tub, Little One.”

I did as I was told. “Yes, Sir.”

Xander then grabbed hold of both my h**s and gently lifted me off his lap.

I felt his engorged tip rest against my entrance as he began to slowly lower me down until I had taken all of him in.

Xander’s c**k was pressing firmly against my cervix, but the pain it caused just added to my pleasure.

“Hold on, okay, baby?

“Okay, Daddy.”

With that, Xander began lifting me up and down his shaft, using me as his own personal f**k toy.

He was moving slowly, so excruciatingly slow, and I didn’t know if I could handle it.

“Gentle now, baby, you’ve had a very long night. Just relax and let me take care of you.”

My head fell back and rolled back and forth over his shoulder as I allowed myself to continue to be impaled over and over.

“Mmm Xander…please…just a little faster…please, Daddy.”

Thankfully he took pity on me and began to thrust upwards a little faster and harder while continuing to control my movements through the tight grip on my h**s.

Soon it appeared that of the last bit of control he had snapped as Xander’s h**s picked up speed, and he began to piston his d**k inside me, knocking directly upon the entrance to my womb.

“Are you ready, Little One?”

“I’m ready, so, so ready, Daddy.”

“c*m for me now, baby. I want you to clench and squirt all over this d**k,” he said right into my ear.

Like the good submissive I was, I did exactly as he asked. My walls tightened into a vice grip around Xander, and the o****m ripped through me, stealing my breath along the way.

My fingertips had turned white from the grip I had on the edge of the tub, and I could taste that I had drawn b***d when I bit down on my bottom l*p.

“Such a good f*****g girl you are for Daddy. So f*****g perfect,” Xander growled as he pumped his seed deep inside my core.

His o****m seemed to go on forever, filling me to the brim.

When it was all over, he slowly lifted me, causing him to slide from my soaked slit.

We both rested against the tub for a few moments before Xander grabbed the sponge and began to lather it up once more.

“Now, let’s get you cleaned up, and out of this tub, Little One or I may just have to take you all over again.”

***

After the bath, Xander and I finally got dressed and began our walk downstairs.

As soon as I reached the bottom step, my stomach rumbled loudly.

“Have I worn you out, Little One? Let’s get some food in that belly of yours.”

Rounding the corner to the kitchen, I was hit with a mouthwatering smell. Bacon, sausage, and- strawberries and cream pancakes?

I rushed in to see that I was right; there were stacks upon stacks of my favorite pancakes sitting on the kitchen island.

“But…how?” I asked to no one in particular.

“I asked my lead omega, Mrs. Dyson, to reach out to your old pack and speak to Mrs. Wilson to get a few of your favorite recipes. Mrs. Wilson was more than happy to help and even offered to visit if a live demonstration was needed.”

“This is amazing!”

“Have a seat, Little One. Your breakfast will be served shortly.”

Once I settled in beside Xander, a young omega around my age walked up, placing our plates before us.

“Enjoy your breakfast, Alpha, Luna.”

Before she had walked away, I began to devour the food. The pancakes melted in my mouth, causing me to m**n with pleasure.

Xander looked over with a smile as he took his first bite of pancake.

He raised an eyebrow before stating, “These really are delicious. Not as delicious as you though.”

“You won’t distract me from my mission, Xander. Not today,” I said before I turned slightly away from him and took a massive bite of bacon.

As I continued to crunch my bacon loudly, I looked up and saw Matt and Kade walk in.

“Good Morning Xander, Alaia,” Matt greeted us with a smile.

“Good Morning Matt,” I replied before going back to my plate.

Wait! Matt? I didn’t get all flustered when I spoke to him. That gorgeous smile of his didn’t make my belly do those ridiculous flips. Xander was right!

I jumped to my feet. “Oh, my goodness! Hi, Matt!!” I squeaked with joy.

I ran over and wrapped him in a huge hug, as big as I could manage with my short arms.

I then looked up at his perfect and confused face and said, “You’re just another pretty face now, I can’t tell you how happy I am!”

Both him and Xander laughed out loud when hearing that.

“I’m glad to hear it, and I’m happy as well, Luna.”

“Alaia. We’re going to be best friends Matt, just wait and see.”

“I look forward to it, Alaia,” he said as he returned the hug.

“What, so I’m invisible now? Is no one happy to see me? Damnit Matt, you really are a curse!” Kade argued.

“Oh shut it, Kade, we see you. And you can be my friend too if you feel so left out,” I said before walking back to my seat and finishing my food.

***

The guys sat down to join us, and I laughed until I cried listening to Kade and Matt tell me stories about the three of them growing up.

“I don’t know how Uncle Xavier dealt with the three of us. He constantly had to get us out of trouble. I wasn’t until he threatened to take the Alpha title away from Xander that we all finally straightened up,” Matt said with a smile.

I couldn’t imagine him as a wild teenager, but from the stories, he was just as bad at the other two, if not worst.

“Wow, who knew hormonal teenaged boys were such idiots?” I asked.

“Trust me, Sweetheart. Xavier and I knew all too well,” Katherine said as she entered the kitchen.

“Good Morning Katherine, how are you today?”

“I’m good, Dear, but how are you? You look exhausted. Xander! What have you done to this poor girl?”

“Nothing she didn’t ask me to do, Mom,” Xander replied, making me blush scarlet.

Kade, Matt, and Xander roared with laughter while Katherine narrowed her eyes at her son.

“You are absolutely your father’s child! Alaia, sweetie? If you’ve finished with your breakfast, I’d like to take some time to discuss your Luna ceremony with you. Maybe we could chat up in your office?”

“Oh, I had completely forgotten I had an office. Sure Katherine, just give me fifteen minutes to finish up, and I’ll meet you there.”

I grabbed myself a cup of coffee in an insulated mug before I bid the guys goodbye and headed up to the 4th floor.

When I opened the door to my office, I was again surprised by how well decorated it was.

Instead of the usual blue and grey, the majority of the house held, the office was decorated with my favorite color teal with silver accents.

“Wow, this is awesome,” I said as I stepped further inside.

I saw that I had a small minibar stocked with snacks and beverages, a flat-screen tv mounted to the wall over a small seating area and an adjoining bathroom.

The desk was sleek and modern. It was gray-toned frosted glass with silver edges.

“I do hope you like everything, Alaia. All Xander told me was that you liked the color teal and not to forget your snacks. I had to take it from there,” Katherine told me when she entered the room.

“You did all this?”

“I did. I love my son dearly, but I wouldn’t have trusted him with this space. Only a former Luna can know what a future Luna will need to lead.”

“Thank you, Katherine. It’s perfect.”

“Good, now let’s sit, and we can see what your vision for your Luna ceremony is.”

Katherine began to go over different ideas and themes; each one was even more elaborate than the last. They would require tons of food, flowers, music, lights, everything.

“It’s like we’re putting on a wedding,” I mused.

“It’s extremely similar. This ceremony not only ties you to Xander but the entire pack for all of eternity. You’ll form a bond with every member of this pack that will never be broken. It’s a celebration of a marriage between not two, but many souls.”

“Well, when you put it like that…”

We spent a little over two hours finalizing and refining the details. Katherine had already begun making calls getting everything in place, making my job ridiculously easy.

“So, a week from Saturday, you will officially become our newest Luna. I can’t wait!”

I glanced at the time and saw that it was already 12:30. That’s when I remembered my play date with Sophie and Cassie.

“Oh, I’ve got to go, Katherine. I’ve got a mother and her pup coming over this afternoon at 1:30. I promised I’d have some fun activities planned for us.”

“Check in the common room Sweetie; I’m sure they’ll have some finger paints, paper, board games, and the likes in the cabinets that will work for you.”

“That’s perfect, thank you. And thank you again for helping me with the ceremony. I sincerely appreciate all you’ve done for me since I’ve arrived.”

“It’s been my pleasure. Off you go, we can’t have you late for such an important meeting,” she told me with a smile.

***

At 1:30 on the dot, Sophie ran into the common room, wearing a massive smile on her chubby little face.

“Hi Luna, are you ready to play with me?” she asked.

“I sure am, Sophie.”

I reached down to give her a quick hug before I took her hand a led her to a small table I had set up in the corner.

I looked up to see Xander and Cassie enter the room from different directions; both focused on Sophie and me.

“Oh, Alpha Xander. My name is Cassie Stewart. Thank you for allowing Sophie and me into your home today. She was so excited when she met the Luna last night.”

“You’re very welcome Cassie, besides our Luna just has that effect on people. I’ll have to get used to sharing her more often.”

Sophie looked up from the table of goodies before her and shyly glanced over at Xander.

She gently tugged my sleeve, asking me to lean down closer to her when she whispered, “He’s so big. Is he nice?”

I smiled down at her worried little face and said, “Yes, he’s very nice. I promise. Go and say hi, you’ll see.”

She studied my face for a moment, looking for any signs of dishonesty. When she didn’t find any, she slid down from her seat and walked over to Xander.

“Alpha Xander?”

Xander looked down and smiled before he said: “Yes, Cutie?”

“My name is Sophie, and I really like your Luna. Can I keep her?”

We all laughed, except for little Sophie. She just didn’t understand why we weren’t taking her request seriously.

“Well, Sophie, I like her too. So how about you and your mom come over to visit with my Luna whenever you want? Would that be okay?”

“I wanted to take her home with me, but I guess I can just come over here to see her. You guys have a pool!”

Satisfied with her negotiation skills, Sophie turned away and ran back to sit at the table beside me again.

“Well, ladies, I’ve got some work to do. You all enjoy your afternoon,” Xander said before walking out.

Once Cassie joined us at the table, Sophie said, “You were right, Luna, he is nice. I think I like him too!”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

The three of us made finger paint pictures, macaroni necklaces, and colorful masks out of construction paper, feathers, and glitter. We then went outside and collected flowers from the garden, which I used to make us all flower crowns.

By the time 4:00 rolled around, Sophie was passed out in her mother’s arms.

“Thank you so much for today, Alaia. Sophie and I had the best time.”

“So did I. And please, feel free to come by anytime. I loved spending time with you two today. Next time bring your bathing suits, and we can all get in the pool.”

“Sure! Sophie would love that. I’ll see you around Alaia.”

As soon as they left, my body became heavy with fatigue. My lack of sleep last night mixed with chasing a four-year-old around for the last few hours struck me.

Dinner wouldn’t be served until 6:00, so I took the opportunity to head up for a quick nap.

Once I reached our floor, I walked up to Xander’s office and knocked on the door. I then heard his smooth voice on the other side, telling me to come in.

I peeked my head in; “Am I interrupting?” I asked.

“Never, baby. Did you need something?”

“No, Cassie and Sophie just left, so I was going to lay down for a quick nap before dinner. I just wanted to let you know.”

“Sounds good. I’m just wrapping up here, so maybe I’ll join you soon.”

“Works for me. I’ll see you later.”

I then turned and headed straight for my bed.

As soon as I entered the room, I walked over, fell face-first into the blankets, and was out within minutes.

Unknown POV

It was finally ready. All of my time sneaking around with these disgusting witches and warlocks had paid off.

I looked at the tiny vile of black liquid in my hand and smiled. Once ingested, it would shut a werewolf’s body down from the inside out, leaving them to suffer a slow a painful death.

I just had to slip it into their drink and wait. Soon enough, my love would be in my arms once more, and I’d soothe their aching heart.

I was almost there…
