Dead Luna
Chapter 25

Zachary's

POV

I was having the time of my life, sucking and licking away on Miranda's honey sweet p***y while Grace was bouncing away on my balls and coming loud as a banshee as I spill my seed deep into her tight little cunt. I can't imagine life ever being happier then this right here. Too bad the fun has to end in a few short months. But I'll enjoy as much as I can for now, before I'm shackled to my "fated mate".

Then suddenly everyone has noticed that Amelia is in the room along with that gamma dude, and I go instantly limp. We all start scrambling to get something to cover our sins with, but it's no good. There is absolutely nothing I could say or do at this point to convince Amelia that she somehow imagined all this. I know that I've completely blown my chances with Amelia at this point, and should expect some nasty lowly she wolf to be my mate, especially once Amelia says I'll be punished by moon goddess for messing around with my brothers' mate bonds.

Holy crap, how did she even learn about that? I warned you, a*****e, my wolf Xavier tells me. Moon goddess knows everything you've done.

I feel lower than low as Amelia rips into me and tells me how I have to right my wrongs. But then she says something completely unexpected. I have to take both Grace and Miranda as chosen mates? I'm not sure how that's a punishment, but I'm down for that if I have to. "I know what you're thinking, that this isn't really that bad of a punishment," Amelia warns me. "But there's more to it than that. Much more. You must also be a faithful mate to the both of them. You have hurt many of your pack members by messing around with young she wolves on the verge of adulthood, and several of them have been rejected by their fated mate as a result. That is not how a good Alpha behaves, and it causes members to become disloyal as a result. How can the pack members trust their Alpha if even their wives, sisters, and daughters aren't safe from you?"

Ok, that hits pretty deep.

"Therefore, moon goddess has decided to give you a blessing as well as a curse. You will be having many pups. But they will all be girls until the very last one which will be a son. These daughters of yours will all be beautiful, strong, talented, and loved by all. Especially by you, Alpha Zachary. You will love those daughters more than you can possibly imagine. And you will suffer much anxiety over their well being, particularly once they mature and start attracting the attention of the male wolves."

"Only once you've proven to Selene that you are a dutiful mate, father, and alpha of this pack, will she finally bless you with your son."

"Oh, and just one more thing before I leave this room. Grace is already pregnant with your first daughter, as of a few minutes ago. Moon goddess suggests naming them in alphabetical order, starting with Amelia for A. Hopefully hearing my name daily will be a reminder to you what is at stake. And don't even bother thinking of any masculine names until you reach at least F. H if you slip up."

And then Amelia leaves, and I'm left to my own thoughts, as well as 2 rather pissed off she wolves who aren't exactly thrilled to share the title of Iron Peak's Luna. Sounds like I'm going to have my hands full.

At least 6 pups. And all because I couldn't keep my pants zipped. Literally.

Leo POV

That was entertaining, my wolf Lance says in my head.

I agree. At least it's someone else getting punished instead of me for a change, I reply.

The punishment seemed very appropriate to fit the crime. I was actually impressed how the entire thing was handled, and wished I could see into the future some 15-20 years to Zachary's torment when his grown daughters start dating. I'll just bet he raises his own son to respect women, and not string them along with false promises like he did. I also wish I could have congratulated Amelia on such a fair punishment for the promiscuous alpha, but Amelia and I aren't on those kind of terms these days.

More and more, I feel as if I'm becoming invisible to Amelia. She hardly acknowledges my existence anymore. Which I replace to be equal parts relief and depressing. It hurts to be treated as a friend or confidant, when I desire so much more. And it hurts to be ignored, even if I prefer that over her pity.

I wonder what we will do with the rest of the week once Amelia has sorted out the rest of the unmated wolves, as we head back to Luna Veronica's office to finish off the morning's appointments. And speaking of Luna Veronica, Amelia had the pleasure of telling her all about how Zachary would be taking chosen mates, who and why, just before we headed to lunch. The look of shock on Luna Veronica's face was priceless.
