The Ivory Queen
Chapter 80

***Oliver’s POV***

Aurora and I lead our pack back to the pack house yard where the party is in full swing, the dance floor set up and music blasting through the speakers. We make our way to the tree where we stuffed our clothes and once alone, Aurora shifts back into her human form. As I look at her beautiful body, I lose control of my urges. I’ve been thinking about this since I first laid eyes on her tonight. I shift into my human form and lift her off her feet, pressing her naked body against mine and forcing her to wrap her legs around me for stability.

“Oliver, what are you-“

I don’t let her finish her sentence, sealing her lips with my own and pressing her up against a tree. She gasps when her skin makes contact with the bark of the trunk and I take advantage to devour her mouth, desperate to taste every corner. When I pull back, she’s panting and I can hear her heart pounding against her rib cage.

“Oliver you- you scoundrel!” she snaps, smacking my bare chest and I burst out laughing.

Scoundrel?

“Are you insane?” she huffs. “Someone could see us!”

“Therein lies the thrill,” I tease, leaning forward and kissing her.

My words set her on fire and I smell her delicious arousal. I bury my face in her neck, running my tongue along her mark and her breath quickens significantly. I shift her up a bit and latch on to her left n****e, my favorite of the pair, suckling it lightly until I feel her precum ooze onto my stomach. Her soft m***s only drive me crazier and I lose my patience, lowering her so that my c**k lines up perfectly with her entrance. With a swift thrust, I enter her and she attempts to hold back a scream but I scold her.

“Don’t hold back,” I growl. “I want to know how this d**k drives you crazy.”

She lets out a beautiful m**n and I give her slow and forceful strokes, wanting to make her scream my name. She wraps an arm around my neck and buries her fingers in my hair while the other claws at my back. I hiss as she scrapes her long nails against my skin, enjoying the mix of pleasure and pain she’s inflicting. Aurora rocks her h**s against me then leans forward and bites down on my shoulder. I love when she bites me, her desperation to process the pleasure I give her driving me over the edge. After a few pumps, I lift her up in my arms and lower her down onto the ground so she’s flat on her back on the damp earth. I lift one of her legs over my shoulder, delivering open mouth k****s to her gorgeous brown skin and straddle her other leg before settling inside her once more. Within two thrusts, I hit her magic spot and she calls out my name, begging me to hit it again. I would take my time to tease her a bit but I was desperate and hit it over and over again. Her eyes roll back and her nails dig into the earth as I hammer into her at full force.

“…F**k… Harder, please!”

I oblige and pick up the pace, slamming into her a bit faster. A few tears line her eyes as I f**k her before she starts clenching down on me in a vice grip.

We bite down on each other’s marks and both of us experience an o****m like never before. I swear I see stars and I give her a few light strokes as I relieve myself inside her, filling her up with an endless stream of my seed.

“I think I outdid myself,” I chuckle as I look down to see c*m spilling onto our legs and pull out. I get on my feet and take her once more in my arms.

“I think you’re an i***t,” she mutters as she catches her breath.

I lean forward and k**s her sweetly, pressing her against the tree as she giggles. “I’m putting a pup in you by the end of the night.”

She pulls back and k****s my nose. “How many are we having?”

I smile at her, brushing a few strands of hair away from her face. “As many as you want.”

Within seconds, I harden again. Her eyes light up as I slip inside for another round of pleasure, this time against the tree.

When I finish up, I look back at her and feel an overwhelming happiness. “Veux-tu m’epouser?” I ask her again, needing her to say yes once more.

She bursts into laughter. “Oui oui!” She laughs, wiggling her eyebrows and leaning over to k**s my cheeks. “I still don’t know what I’m agreeing to, though.”

“You will soon,” I smile, kissing her lips lightly. “I love you.”

“I love you too,” she giggles, biting my lower l*p playfully. ” I didn’t think I could ever love someone this much. I didn’t think I would ever get my happy ever after-“

“But now you have me and I promise you, I will make you the happiest Queen in all the land.”

I put her down and replace a spare t shirt stuffed in a nearby tree and help her clean herself off before wiping myself down. She slips the dress on again and asks me to help her with the zipper. When we’re both done getting dressed, she turns to me and in all seriousness asks how she looks.

“Like my Luna,” I whisper, pulling her into yet another k**s. “Absolutely beautiful.”

She blushes as I take her hand and we both walk back to the party.

Rosalie narrows her eyes at us as we approach our table. “You two couldn’t wait until the party was over?” She smacks my shoulder. “And you ruined her l*p stick! Ugh, come on Luna. I’ll fix you up.”

She grabs Aurora’s hand and pulls her away towards the house, grumbling about how annoying I am. Wesley walks over and leans down by my ear.

“Mind telling me what the f**k Javier is doing here?” he asks, a little annoyed. “Last I checked, Lluvia Blanca was still an enemy pack.”

I roll my eyes at the mention of that bastard. “Aurora,” I grunt. “She forgave him last night and invited him and Mia.”

He chuckles. “Is it safe to assume you’ve not forgiven him?”

I stand up and excuse myself from the table, asking Wesley to follow me towards the refreshment station. “Doesn’t matter what I feel about him. He is Aurora’s guest tonight and I will not go against her wishes, even if I can’t stand him. Aurora cares about him and the Lluvia Blanca wolves,” I sigh. I think this the best time to inform him of Javier’s request. “Javier has asked to join the Alliance again once he takes over Lluvia Blanca.”

“And you’re only now just telling me?” he growls. “Do the others know?”

I shake my head. “He asked last night and trust me, after replaceing out what he did to Aurora, I wasn’t too keen on letting him back in,” I sigh. “Look, Aurora wants Lluvia Blanca back in the alliance. There are a lot of innocent lives at stake and quite frankly, we could use their support if we want to defeat Tais and her sister. I was hoping I would have a bit more time to prepare everything for the next Alpha meeting and come up with a strategy to help him get out of the supposed alliance Miguel is forging with Amethyst Lake.”

Wesley frowns but seems to understand our concern. “Javier was a friend before all of this….” he sighs. “Okay, fine. What do you know about the treaty with Amethyst Lake?”

“Nothing yet. Javier hasn’t said much about it.”

“Well he’s right here. If he wants to join, we’re going to need some straight answers.”

I agree and we head over to Javier and Mia’s table.

“Javier,” I clear my throat.

“Oliver. Wesley,” he nods. “Where’s Auro-“

“Don’t worry about her,” I snarl, turning to Mia. “I need you to leave. We have some things to discuss.”

She leaves without a fuss, going to get a drink and striking up a conversation with some old school mates of hers.

“I get the feeling you’re not here to catch up.”

“The Alliance with Amethyst Lake,” Wesley says as we both take a seat at his table. “Tell us about it.”

Javier sighs. “The plan was to join Amethyst Lake, Maple Moon, Desert sky and Lluvia Blanca in alliance similar to that of the Allies. Amethyst Lake was willing to accept on the condition we give them some land we hold near River Moon’s border. I don’t know why but that was their condition,” he shrugs.

Why would Amethyst lake want to share a border with us?

“But I see now there was no chance of the alliance taking place,” he adds, nodding towards the Maple Moon and Desert Sky alphas congregating at a table and chatting amongst themselves. “Looks like you managed to secure Maple Moon and Desert Sky before we could even begin negotiations,” he chuckles.

I roll my eyes. “I warned you that treaty was a mistake, but you’ve always been a cocky son of a -“

I feel two arms wrap around my neck from behind..

“Boys, what are you three up to?” Aurora asks, her breath tickling my neck as she k****s my jaw.

I look back to see Celina and Kehlani right behind her, Kehlani carrying a chubby Matthew in her arms. Kehlani hands her son over to Wesley and he gently cradles him in arms. Matthew plays with his toes and giggles to himself.

“This is a party,” Aurora scolds. “Not an Alpha meeting, so play nice and leave Javi alone.”

“Javi…” I repeat in a mocking tone and she laughs before kissing my lips.

“Don’t get jealous,” she whispers. “I’m all yours, remember?”

Then why is he here? Michael snarls, his jealousy burning me up inside.

I glare back at Javier but he’s too busy staring at Celina to notice and I can sense her discomfort. I growl and he shifts his eyes back to me and clears his throat.

“I’m glad to see Matthew is doing better,” Javier says nervously. “I remember he wasn’t doing too well. We kept him in our prayers.”

“Thank you,” Kehlani says, squeezing his shoulder. “Luna Aurora saved him the day of that -ahem- unpleasant meeting.”

“Oh…” he says, looking guilty as hell.

“Don’t worry, you’re not the only one around here who was wrong about Aurora,” Kehlani says, grinning at Wesley.

“I apologized!” He snaps.

Aurora chuckles. “I believe everyone at this table at one point or another said some hurtful things to me,” she says, giving me a triumphant smile. “But it’s alright. All is forgiven. Now Javi, if you’ll excuse us, I’m hungry and I need my mate back.” She tugs on my tux and pulls me to my feet.

Kehlani and Wesley walk to their table while I lead Celina and Aurora back to ours.

Aurora opens up her mind-link as we walk. “I know you hate that he’s here, but I am very grateful that you’ve been civil thus far.”

I take a glance at Javier.

“I hate him more than you’ll ever know, but if he makes you happy, I’ll-“

“He doesn’t make me happy. You do…”

That alone makes me sigh in relief. Her inviting Javier worried me more than I wanted to admit. It’s true I had a history with Adeline but it was forced, I was never in love with her. It was just s*x and business. And while Aurora has never said she loved Javier romantically, she did share a very special connection with him at one point, one I would never understand.

“Olivier, I only want him here so River Moon and Lluvia Blanca can move forward with the alliance and so I can put the past behind me. I also want to give Celina a chance to get to know him more before she definitively decides she doesn’t want him in her life. Nothing more. You’re my King. My only King.”

She interlocks our fingers and k****s my hand, squashing all of my doubts instantly. When we reach the table, I pull Aurora onto my lap to eat with me. She piles on all sorts of foods and deserts onto her plate, leaving me to wonder how the hell she’s so tiny and fit. She eats shamelessly, asking questions about some of the French dishes.

“What’s this called?” she asks, licking her fingers. “It’s so good!”

“Coq au vin,” I smile.

She repeats it to herself, stumbling through the pronunciation. “And this?” she points to another dish.

“Steak au poivre.”

She gives me a toothy grin. “You should speak French more often. I think it’s very romantic.”

This is an opportunity I simply can’t pass up. “Et je pense que nous devrions baiser derrière les arbres plus souvent,{And I think we should f**k behind the trees more often),” I smirk, knowing she has no idea what I just said.

She nods absentmindedly as she bites into her steak. “Oui.”

Rosalie gasps while Evan, Carter and I burst into fits of laughter, making Aurora blush. “What did he say?” she asks timidly.

Rosalie smacks my head and scowls at me. “We are eating! We don’t need to know about your tree s*x fantasies!”

Celina covers her mouth, hiding her laughter while Aurora scowls at me and tries to get off my lap. I tighten my grip on her and apologize.

“No, baby. I’m sorry, that was mean,” I chuckle. She struggles against me. “Je suis amoureux de vous. Pouvez-vous me reprocher de fantasmer sur vous? {I’m in love with you. Can you blame me for fantasizing about you?}”

“Shut up, you jerk,” she mutters, elbowing me in the stomach.

I retaliate by pinning her arms to her sides and crashing my lips against hers. She continues to struggle before she starts to giggle and k****s me back. I love pacifying her this way.

Evan gets up and returns with a bottle of tequila and several shot glasses. “All right my friends, let’s get this party started!”

I tense up at the sight of the alcohol, knowing it makes Aurora uncomfortable. I’m about to tell him to put the bottle away when Aurora stops me and reaches for the bottle and a glass. I watch in shock as she pours a out a shot and hands it to me.

“Aurora what are you-“

“I trust you,” she shrugs. “You can have a drink if you want. I know you won’t hurt me.”

I hesitate. I haven’t had a sip since our fight that night and while I’ve never been an avid drinker, I did miss having a drink with Evan and Carter. Before I get a chance to say anything, though, Celina takes the drink and downs it like its water, looking back coolly at us.

“You took too long,” she says, pushing the glass over to Aurora. “Hit me again.”

Aurora fills her glass again and Celina chugs it like a champ. Evan hands me a glass and Aurora fills me up. I only take four shots, not wanting to get carried away.

I pull Aurora away from the table as Evan and Celina continue drinking and introduce her to the alphas of Desert Sky and Maple Moon, Malik Farhat and Jared Alonto, respectively. We chat for a bit, talking about the impending Alpha meeting for the treaty negotiations between our packs.

“So have you made your decisions to join the Allies yet?” Aurora asks after a getting to know them.

“I have my concerns for my pack,” Jared says. “Maple Moon is situated between River Moon, Amethyst Lake and Lluvia Blanca, all of whom are currently at odds with each other. If we pick sides, Amethyst Lake is sure to retaliate and I’m not sure I’m willing to subject Maple Moon to a possible war. We don’t have the luxury of having silver wolves in our pack and our numbers are small compared to those of our neighbors.”

“The recent rise of Rogue attacks aimed at the Allies is also factor affecting our decision,” Malik adds. “So far, Desert Sky has had no rogue activity and we’ve had no intrusions since…well… you. I’m afraid if we enter the Alliance, I’ll only be putting my pack in danger. Not to mention, we share borders with Lluvia Blanca and River Moon and we’ve managed to stay civil with both packs. We don’t need to jeopardize those relations.”

“I understand you concerns. Your pack’s well-being must always come first,” Aurora reassures them. “But should you choose to join, the Allies become just that… your allies. If trouble comes, you can rely on us to lessen the burden and help. It’s true we’ve faced a rise in attacks but we’ve managed to minimize the damage because we know we can count on our allies when we need them. We share resources to ensure every pack stays strong and healthy for years to come.” She pauses to let them digest her words before continuing. “As for your concerns with Lluvia Blanca, we’re actively working to reconcile with them. Javier is taking over in less than two weeks and has already expressed desire to re-enter the treaty. We’re currently working on a new draft and hoping to present it to our Allies at the next Alpha meeting.”

I stand back in awe of my Luna. She says she’s afraid to lead with me but here she is effortlessly negotiating with two packs like a natural. I can’t help but smile to myself as she argues her case and the two Alphas listen carefully. If they raise concerns, she addresses them and offers a solution.

“You are smaller packs, but that in no way makes you insignificant. Every pack has something to offer and I believe we can all benefit from working together. Of course at the end of the night, the choice is yours and River Moon will respect whatever decision you two make,” she finishes.

Malik turns to me, seemingly pleased with Aurora’s speech. “You have a very astute Luna, Alpha Oliver. I’m looking forward to the next Alpha meeting to see this partnership in action.”

“Congratulations on the ceremony, Luna Aurora,” Jared smiles. “Your pack is lucky to have you.”

Aurora blushes and thanks them for their kind words as they leave.

As we sit back in our seats to watch everyone on the dance floor enjoying themselves, Adeline comes over to offer her congratulations. She’s clearly had a lot to drink as she stumbles over. I’m about to tell her to f**k off when Aurora grabs my wrist.
