The Ebony Alpha Ch. 10

Blackness took Louisa and she fainted causing everyone to gasp in fear. Desiree hovered over her daughter and Bachtrane easily lifted her into his arms. She was special to him as well and he had come to care for her as his family.

"Take her to her room Bachtrane and we will continue our meeting. Megan, Ambrose and Abraham would you come forward please."

The three young people walked up to where Jacques stood and looked at each other closely. Megan gasped as she realized where Louisa's other eggs must have gone.

"Louisa knew that she gave her eggs to your parents Megan, but she had no idea about Ambrose and Abraham. I think she has just realized that fact."

Three pair of emerald green eyes stared at each other as the cold voice droned on.

"That means that you all carry the Were gene. When we celebrate the Blood Moon you will have your first transformation. We asked you to be here because this involves each of you. Louisa must be present and as family you must receive the blessing of Luna at the same time."

Jackson could see that Megan was trembling and rose to pull her to his side. He hugged her close and looked at the two young men who were obviously her brothers. He couldn't help but smile as he thought his family was definitely growing.

"How does that involve us Jacques?" Avery Gastoni asked as he waved his hand toward Katelyn and Joseph.

"You are family your blood runs through each child's veins as does mine and my mates. We will offer ourselves to the Moon Goddess as her faithful servants."

"I am grateful that this will be the final Blood Moon ceremony. This is getting very complicated very quickly." Napoleon stated as he looked at the people in the room. A large smile crossed his face as he looked at Becky.

"Rebecca, will you come up here please?" Napoleon stepped to the front and waited for his daughter.

"As you all witnessed these two young people ran into each other in the hallway."

"I thought she jumped him Father." Bachtrane teased as he came back into the room. Becky blushed and Ambrose grabbed her hand and held it tightly.

"As you can see the mating pull is strong between these two, but this young man has no training as a Werewolf. I will approve their mating, but it must be postponed until he has been trained to protect his mate."

"I must protest Alpha Boscoyo. Ambrose is still in university and is studying to become a doctor. He needs to finish his studies before he takes on a mate."

Amandia looked at her son with sadness in her eyes and realized she really didn't have much say in the matter.

"If I am not mistaken Amandia, this young man has had his twenty-first birthday am I right?" Napoleon asked her pointedly.

The meaning of his words sunk in with a finality Amandia did not want to face. He was her son and she did not want to lose him.

"Relax everyone; this young man must take a year off from school in order to learn to control his wolf. He and his brother along with Megan must all follow this protocol." Jacques Metairie was becoming impatient and it showed.

"We wanted them all to be together but if Napoleon will take responsibility for Ambrose there is no reason for him to remain in Dakota." Jacques looked at Napoleon and he nodded.

Ambrose lifted his hand to ask for silence and spoke. "I would like to think about where I would like to stay, if you all don't mind. Becky is a factor and I will make her a consideration in my decision, but I am old enough to make up my own mind."

Napoleon really liked this kid. He would make a great asset to his pack. His size alone warranted that he was Beta material, and the fact that he knew medicine was to his advantage as well. They could use another pack doctor and Ambrose seemed to have a great head on his shoulders.

"I will honor your decision young man, but understand you will not be able to stay away from Becky for very long. The pull between you is already manifesting itself. When your wolf is released he will demand it's mate." Napoleon held out his arm to Ambrose and they clasped them together in respect.

Becky looked at the man holding her hand and felt a sense of relief. He was already a wolf and she would mate well. He was a doctor and would take care of her. Luna was good and Becky would make sure to thank the Goddess as she rose in the night sky.

"Everyone please get a good night's sleep if you can. Tomorrow we will be traveling to North Dakota. The weather is unusually warm and we should have no delays. Thank you for giving us your attention and now I must see to my daughter." Jacques bowed his head in dismissal and waited for his mate to join him.

Megan pulled Jackson's out of the drawing room. She went to Mama Louisa's room and knocked softly on the door.

"Come in." came a weak reply. Mama Louisa was lying in bed her head propped up on several pillows. Megan and Jackson entered the room and stood by the bed.

"How are you doing Mama? Did you hurt yourself?"

"No Megan I am not hurt. I am just overwhelmed."

"Megan you don't seem surprised that Louisa is really your mother." Jackson said as he looked at the two women closely.

"I found out last night Jackson. I saw her and Joe when they came back to the house after the funeral. They discovered that they are mates. I saw them kissing."

Louisa blushed and Jackson laughed at the legendary woman on the bed. "You and Joe? That is priceless. He is a good man and will make a strong Alpha. I like him a lot."

"He will be surprised to know that I have more children. He just may run away."

"Not Joe, Louisa. He is all about family and he will protect them with his life if he had too."

"My mother and father have a lot to answer for and they know it. It was supposed to be Katelyn and Joseph receiving my eggs. To find out this way after twenty-one years is what is so difficult."

"They look like me and we all have the same green eyes. It was so weird to look at them Mama. I wonder what they think about me."

Jackson hugged her and said. "They think you are the most beautiful sister any brother could ever have. They probably would want to kill me if they knew what I was thinking right now."

"Alright Jackson, don't get us in trouble with the Elders." Louisa chided the two young lovers.

"Now go away you two, and pack your things. I will see you in the morning." Jackson grabbed Megan's hand and led her out of the room. They just missed bumping into Desiree and Jacques when they walked through the door.

"Hello Louisa. I am sure you want to talk." Her mother sat on the bed with her and her father pulled up a chair.

They both looked at her with love and concern. They knew they had a lot of explaining to do and they were ready.

Louisa looked at them with pain in her eyes and moaned; "Mom and Dad, how could you?"

Becky led Ambrose to the small library in the back of the manner. A lot of the pack children did their homework here and it was very cozy.

Walking to a small sofa in front of a large fireplace the two sat down. Ambrose took Becky's face in his hands and kissed her eyes and moved his lips to her nose. He licked her top lip and then Becky automatically opened her mouth giving entry to his tongue.

Ambrose was sure that he liked Becky very much, but mating was foreign to him. For once in his life he did not want to take advantage of the situation and pulled away from their kiss. Still holding her in his arms, he looked at her and sighed.

"Becky I need to understand more about werewolves and their mating habits. Why is everyone so sure that we will become mated?"

"My wolf has recognized you as our mate. Our wolves are ten times more sensitive that we are as humans and when mine caught your scent she was positive."

Becky moved out of Ambrose's arms and walked to the window. She needed to get her wolf under control.

"My violent reaction means that you completely caught me off guard and I didn't have time to approach you in a more ladylike manner." She was blushing profusely and Ambrose smiled and he hugged her from behind.

"I liked it Becky. I might have been a little surprised, but I wasn't frightened. You were very beautiful when you were growling at me."

Ambrose got the reaction he wanted when he saw a smile start to form on Becky's lips.

"I see you like to tease, Ambrose and I am not sure if I really like that about you."

"Tell me what you do like Becky?" Ambrose turned the small woman around to face him and pulled her chin up with his finger.

Her beautiful blue eyes looked at him with desire and confusion and he felt a wave of possessiveness engulf him. His mouth took her small one with a tenderness he never knew he had. Becky whimpered and moved closer to him, standing on her tip toes.

His lips felt so soft against hers and he tasted like sweet red grapes. She put her arms around his neck straining just to reach him and relaxed as he deepened their kiss. Becky suddenly jerked back and looked at Ambrose with fear.

"What is it Becky, did I do something wrong?"

"I just feel funny, and really warm is there something wrong with me?"

Ambrose smiled, his green eyes twinkled and he lifted the girl into his arms once again.

"There is nothing wrong with you except that you feel desire for me. I find that very attractive and I am happy that you feel that way."

"Do you feel desire for me too?"

"Yes I do. But there is more to what I feel than that, and I want to be sure of what it is before we act on it."

"I am not naïve Ambrose; I have seen many couples having sex. I grew up here and wolves are very open about it. My father does not want me to be so free, and he has me being watched by my brother and Raphael his best friend."

"You are being watched? That means that we are not alone." Ambrose said those last few words in a whisper and walked back toward the entrance to the library.

As they came around to the front of the room they saw Bachtrane sitting there reading a book. He looked up at them and smiled knowingly.

"Becky it is time for you to head to your bedroom, I need to speak with Ambrose alone for a few minutes." Bachtrane put his book down and waited for Becky to obey his wishes.

"Please be nice to him Bachtrane, he doesn't know anything about werewolves."

"I won't hurt your mate Becky, just go to bed I will even let him come and say goodnight."

Becky looked at her brother with pleading eyes and quickly kissed Ambrose on the cheek. Her brother glared at her until she left the room. Then he turned his gaze on the young man who stood waiting for him to speak.

"Have a seat Ambrose we need to get a few things straight."

Bachtrane called on all of his self-control to keep from laughing. He was glad Becky had remembered she had a team watching her every move. That had been the only thing that kept the young man unharmed. He wasn't about to let his little sister lose her virginity in the library of all places.

"You are very lucky Ambrose Gastoni. I am a good brother and I keep my word. I will not harm you for touching my sister."

"We were just kissing I wouldn't have taken things any further."

Ambrose felt his voice tremble as he kept eye contact with the large man sitting across from him. He had black hair and blue eyes like his sister. He exuded strength and power even when seated and Ambrose knew he was no one to play with.

"Do you know what it means to be claimed as my sister's mate Ambrose Gastoni?" the large man didn't wait for an answer.

"It means that she is the equivalent of royalty and must be treated as such. She is the Alpha's daughter and she is our princess. He honor is very important to us and she may not be treated like some lovesick teenager. She has chosen you and that makes you special."

"I didn't ask to be chosen Bachtrane; I didn't even ask to be born. But it seems that I am some sort of royalty too and your sister has made a great choice in me!"

"That's it, get angry and show me what you're made of little man! Bachtrane thought. He smiled and stood up hitting the red haired man on the back. He was satisfied with his answer and rose from his seat.

"Well I am glad to see that you accept your role in my sister's life. I don't want her getting hurt and now that you know that she is your mate it would be wise for you to remember that."

Bachtrane laughed loudly at the look of surprise on Ambrose's face. He had done his job and he was ready to go.

"Come on I promised Becky that you would stop by to say goodnight." Bachtrane grabbed Ambrose by the collar and led him upstairs to his sister's bedroom. He knocked on the door then stepped aside.

"Remember I am watching you." He reminded the young man and walked down the hall.

"Becky it's me Ambrose, I've come to say goodnight."

Becky opened the door and gasped when Ambrose pulled her roughly into his arms. He pressed his mouth to hers in a hurried kiss and whispered against her quivering lips.

"Goodnight my sweet. Dream of me." She sighed as he pushed her gently back into her room and closed the door. He grinned at his future brother in law and walked down stairs.

The sunrise was a mess of purples, oranges and golds. It heralded that a beautiful day was at hand and the cock crowed to announce the morning's arrival. The many Omegas of the Boscoyo household had been up for hours making sure that everyone traveling had their luggage ready to go.

A line of SUV's were waiting in the circular drive in front of the main house and the drivers lounged against their vehicles.

Joe Chambers had been up as well and his mate snuggled close by his side feeling that he no longer slept.

"What is it Joe? It is barely morning we still have a little time for ourselves."

"I don't want you to leave Louisa. I wanted to be mated to you before you left my side."

"You know the problem with that Joe, we won't be able to part and I need to leave. I promise you that I will come to you as soon as I can. I want to be mated to you as well but unless you come with me we have to wait."

Joe sighed and pulled Louisa closer to his hard body. His erection strained against her stomach and she reached down to stroke it length. Joe kissed her smooth lips and the taste of brown sugar assaulted his senses. He plundered her for more capturing her tongue in his warm mouth.

Louisa stroked his staff with a steady hand and sped up as he pinched a nipple. He slid his hand to her core and pushed two fingers into her slippery hole. She ground her hips against his hand and moaned into his mouth.

"Please Joe I need you now!" Louisa spread her thighs farther apart and arched her back. Joe rolled on top of her and speared her with his engorged cock. Fisting her beautiful copper locks in his hand he pulled her head back and rammed brutally into her wet pussy. He pulled on her neck with his mouth licking and sucking her where he would bite when they mated.

This drove Louisa into frenzy and she bucked against him meeting him stroke for stroke. He bit down on her shoulder not breaking the skin, and Louisa screamed her orgasm into his neck. Just the thought of him marking her, sent Louisa into convulsions of pleasure and she fought hard against her wolf for control.

"Joe!" She screamed as he thrust into her one last time, his hot seed coating her welcoming womb.

"Good morning my mate." Joe whispered in her ear, and she smiled as the sun rose higher in the sky.

Napoleon and his family along with Ambrose rode in the first Tahoe as three more followed behind them.

Desiree, Jacques, Megan, Jackson and Louisa were in the second one behind them were Maddie, Sullivan and Stephan with Raphael.

The last SUV held Amandia, Avery and Abraham. Amandia had protested when Ambrose was asked to ride with The Boscoyo pack, but he kissed his mother on the cheek and told her he would be fine. This made Napoleon very happy and Avery a proud Papa.

At the airport they boarded two jets and the Gastoni family reunited aboard the plane. Bismarck North Dakota was only hours away and so were their new lives.

Abraham looked at his brother and knew that life as he knew it was going to change forever. He relaxed against the luxurious leather of the seat he was in and closed his eyes. He hoped that he would sleep until they reached their destination.

"Megan you are going to love the Clarion Ranch. It is more like a sub division outside of Bismarck and is like a town unto itself. We have everything you could ever need or want there, and since we are close to the city we could go there as often as you like."

Megan loved it when Jackson spoke about his home. She could just see the lush landscape in her head and feel the cool summer breeze on her face. Jackson's eyes lit up when he told her about his friends and the trouble they had gotten into when they were young.

It was very funny for her to hear about him riding horses and pulling wagons to plow the earth. He was one hundred and fifty years old after all, and had lived when the West was being won.

He spoke sadly about the Buffalo and bison that no longer roamed the land and made her laugh when he recounted his first hunt.

"Do you still hunt today Jackson?" Megan asked excitedly.

"Yes, but only during the full moon and special occasions. The night we mate I will have to provide you with a fresh kill."

Jackson laughed when she wrinkled up her nose and continued.

"When we get to the ranch our women will make sure you know all there is to know about the mating ritual. I know Mama Louisa told you a few things, but you need to know all of what will happen that night."

"I am getting excited Jackson and I am more than ready to be your mate."

Her smile was intoxicating and Jackson kissed her heatedly risking the wrath of his parents as they looked on.

Anderson and Ophelia couldn't help but smile and remember their courtship. It was much different and very fast. Even though she made him suffer a little bit she couldn't help but to give in to her mate.

Love conquers all and she was sure Jackson and Megan would survive until the Blood Moon.
