Augustin’s POV
My ck throbbed painfully as she unfastened my pants and freed me. She wasted
o time, taking me into her warm mouth, her head bobbing as she worked her tongue my length. Her hand compensated for what wouldn’t fit, working in rhythm with her
“ound
mouth.
I watched her, making shallow thrusts, losing myself in the sight of her lips stretched around me. Not wanting to finish in her mouth, I pulled away and guided her to the bed.

“On your hands and knees,” comman
She complied eagerly, and I tugged her lace panties down just enough to access her slick entrance. I pushed into her wet pussy with a groan that matched hers, feeling her heat envelope me completely
“Fuck, Berry,” I growled, using my pet name for her as I began to thrust. Her pussy was warm and wet, gripping my head and shaft like a vise as I moved.
“Augustin! she cried out in pleasure as I picked up speed, my hips slapping against her ass.
I gripped her hips, guiding her back onto me as I drove deep into her core. The scent of her arousal filled the room, driving my wolf into a frenzy of possession and need.
“Please,” she begged, “faster, deeper.”
I snarled, pleasure shooting straight to my brain, making coherent thought impossible. All that existed was Juno, her body, and our joining. I pumped my hips faster, harder, the sound of flesh meeting flesh filling the room.
“Please,” she moaned again, and I knew we were both beyond words, reduced to pure need and fulfillment.
I pulled her up so her back pressed against my chest, never breaking our rhythm. One hand kneaded her soft breast, thumb circling the hardened nipple, while my other hand reached down to rub her clit in time with my thrusts.
Fenris howled in my mind as the room seemed to spin around us. My vision blurred until all I could feel was the exquisite pleasure building to an unbearable peak.
“Harder,” she demanded, “I want to come. I want to feel you fill me.
I growled in response, pistoning into her with abandon until I felt her pussy walls clamp down around me, milking me as she reached her climax. I continued hammering the same spot, prolonging her orgasm until her contractions pushed me over the edge. With a final powerful thrust, I emptied myself deep inside her, feeling her body accept every drop.
We collapsed onto the bed, panting and sweaty, before the reality of our timing sunk in. Scrambling, we helped each other dress. Fortunately, Juno hadn’t applied much makeup, needing only to touch up her lipstick before we hurried from our chambers.
We were the last to arrive at the luxury car that would transport the six of us to Sebastian’s estate.
Sebastian greeted us at the entrance to his family’s impressive manor. I didn’t appreciate the way his eyes lingered on Juno as he kissed her hand, but I let it pass. The ballroom was beautifully decorated, and I enjoyed the feeling of Juno in my arms as we danced.
After several dances, we returned to the table where all six of us were seated. Various Alphas, council members, and nobles approached to pay respects. I noticed an unusual number of young women at the party, clearly not accompanying anyone, and wondered who had invited them.

Chapter 97
“Are you enjoying yourself, Alpha King? Sebastian asked, approaching our table.
I nodded. “You’ve outdone yourself with this gathering.”
He seemed tense, as if he had something to say. I excused myself from the table, and Sebastian led me to a private room adjacent to the Ballroom.
“Why so nervous, Sebastian?” I asked once we were alone.
He fidgeted with his cufflinks. “Alpha King, did you order the military to attack the Alphas in Dawnshere region for refusing to pay,
their taxes?”
Confusion washed over me. “What? No. Why would you ask that?”
Sebastian’s eyes widened slightly. “A few weeks ago, they were attacked for resisting the increased development tax. Kieran came to their aid.
“I haven’t increased any taxes, I stated firmly. “Especially not in Dawnshere. If anything, that region needs economic support, not higher taxation.”
“I haven’t increased any taxes,” I stated firmly. “Especially not in Dawnshere. If anything, that region needs economic support, not higher taxation.”
“That’s… troubling, Sebastian said, his brow furrowing. “Because there’s a document with your signature and seal ordering the increase. It’s quite substantial. For an impoverished area like Dawnshere, it’s crippling.”
“Let me understand this clearly,” I said, pacing the small room. “Someone issued tax increases under my authority, then sent troops when payment was refused? And Kieran was involved?”
Sebastian nodded grimly. “The Dawnshere Alphas reached out to him when our soldiers arrived. He intercepted our forces before much blood was shed, but it was… tense. They’re calling it another example of Levenston tyranny.”
“Fuck,” I growled, “Why wasn’t I informed of this immediately?”
“The order appeared to come from you,” Sebastian replied, looking increasingly uncomfortable. “There was no reason to inform you of your own command.”
The implications were clear, and fury flooded my veins. “Evanth,” I growled. “That treacherous-”
“I don’t believe your brother has the cunning for this,” Sebastian interrupted. “This required access to your seal and signature template. It would need to be someone closer to you.”
I shook my head vehemently. “Adryx, Bryloch, and I grew up like triplets. They would never betray me.”
Sebastian raised his hands placatingly. “I’m merely presenting facts, Alpha King. I simply wanted you to be aware. The Elder Council wishes to speak with you about the attacks – Quentor is particularly vocal about it.”
Understanding dawned. “That’s why you’re so nervous. The old men want to summon me for, questioning.”
He nodded, relieved I understood.
“I’ll be there,” I promised. “And Sebastian, you’re the head of the Council now. Have some confidence. Don’t let those old men intimidate you,”
With that settled, I returned to enjoy the remainder of the evening, though questions churned in my mind. I would speak with Adryx and Bryloch about this after the party, but for now, I wouldn’t spoil everyone’s enjoyment.

Chapter 97
Looking across the room at juho, radiant in her lace gown, I decided had made the right choice to spend the evening escorting her and the night making love to her. Tomorrow’s problems could wait until tomorrow.
