Revenge of the Luna Queen

Chapter 27

Aislinn felt as Ciera leaned down, pressing her lips to her ear. Her voice low and soft. Her hands were still rubbing circles over her back, soothing the flood of adrenaline and emotions that had been assaulting her from her confrontation with her mate. "Are you okay?"

Aislinn took a moment to consider her words. Her mind replaying the exchange that had just taken place between brother and sister. The words that had floated over her head and through her heart. She thought of her bruised and broken body, her sore throat and exhausted muscles. She considered the throbbing pulsing blackened hole in her chest where her heart had once rested. The love and hate she felt flowing through her at the thought of her mate and the sting still burning her hand from where she had slapped him. The taste of her words so harsh and horrible and yet so true still on her lips. And then shocking herself most of all, she nodded her head. Pulling herself up she straightened from where she had crumpled against the shorter girl, running a hand through her tangled hair she pulled her frayed emotions together. Offering a tight smile to Ciera when the girl reached a hand out to grab hers. Turning she faced her mate and pack once more.

Alpha Fide still stood like an imposing mountain of muscle in front of them. His size and presence rivaling that of Richard's. Clearing her throat, Aislinn looked from her mate to the new addition in their midst. "Kaiden may I present the Alpha of pack Oblitus. Hulk, may I present the Alpha of pack Argentum Sanguinis."

"Your majesty my name isn't-"

"Oh give it a rest Hulk. We didn't believe you before and we don't believe you now." Ciera said not even letting the Alpha finish his retort. With a sigh he nodded his head at her, turning back to look at Kaiden with a mumbled 'of course m'lady'. Aislinn didn't miss Richard's low bark of laughter.

"Your majesty." Hulk said in his deep slow voice, his head bowing in a display of submission and respect to Kaiden.

Austin broke the odd silence that descended upon them. "Ciera glad to see you found someone else to terrorize."

Ciera snapped her eyes to Austin, who flinched stepping back from her sharp glare. "Oh don't think I've forgotten about you doggy." She sang sweetly shooting Austin an evil grin. The Beta gulped as he looked at her, his hands raising in front of her in defense and surrender, "Come on, Cee. You know it was only orders. It wasn't anything personal. Please don't replace all my downloads with 'My Little Pony' again. It took me weeks to get them all back!" He pleaded his face paling as hers remained harsh and unyielding.

"When I'm done you're gonna wish you only had 'My Little Pony' problems. You kidnapped me you a*scake! You WILL pay."

"Look Cee, I'm sorry okay? I was wrong and I'm so sorry! Please don't do whatever your thinking of. Please!"

Unfazed Ciera simply winked at the blond, buff, and tall Beta before turning back to her brother.

"Oh god!" Austin moaned horror washing through his tone. "I am so dead."

"What do you think she's going to do this time?" Blair asked as he looked at his friend with a mix of sympathy and blatant relief that he wasn't the current target of Ciera's legendary wrath.

"I don't even want to think about it!" Austin ground out shuddering as he eyed the small dark beauty, a healthy amount of fear and respect in his tone.

"Hey doesn't she still have those photos?" Clay asked from somewhere behind Richard. His voice soft but carrying in the night. Austin froze. His eyes widening as he looked from Blair's own face of horror to Ciera's face of wicked delight. "You wouldn't." He stuttered out.

"You kidnapped me." Ciera said sweetly.

"Ciera. Tell me you won't."

"You. Kidnapped. Me." Ciera repeated, the hand not holding Aislinn's going to her hip.
