91 Meet the King and Queen
Hudson POV
I loom over Amber, her body covered in a sheen of sweat from her first two org*sms. I could live with my c**k buried deep inside her body. This woman is amazing, and I’m grateful every day that the goddess made her mine. I press the head of my c**k to her entrance, ready to push forward when there is a bang on the bedroom door. I know it’s not one of my men because they left for training and no better than to interrupt me with my mate.
“What the hell,” I say with a growl and Amber giggles. “Maybe whoever it is will take the hint and go away if we ignore them.” Amber reaches up, wrapping her arms around my neck to pull my lips down to hers when whoever the hell it is bangs twice more.
“You better see who it is. It is probably important if they are still knocking, my king,” she says with a smirk. I grumble as I roll off her and grab my shorts. “The pack better be on fire or under attack, or I’m kicking someone’s a** for interrupting us.” Her giggle has me adjusting myself as I make my way to the door. When I throw open the door, Connor is smiling at me.
I glare at him and he laughs. “I can see I’ve interrupted something, so I’m sorry about that, but this couldn’t wait,” he says. Despite his words, the smile never leaves his face.
Now I’m thoroughly confused. “Connor, what couldn’t wait?” “Alpha Roman came to the gates accompanied by two of his pack members,” he says. “What the hell did that ba**ard want? How dare he bring his a** here after what he tried to do with the council? “I said the same thing, but he brought a peace offering of sorts,” he says. I raise my eyebrows in question and he smirks. “He exchanged Bart and Collette for his pack’s safety from an attack by the Red Moon,” he says.
The minute he says that ba**ard’s name, Waylon is pushing to the surface. The minute I took back my rightful place as king, I intended to demand he be turned over to face his crimes against my queen. I guess the goddess has blessed me with not having to wait. “Bart is here on the pack grounds,” Amber asks from behind me. I turn and notice she somehow slipped back into her dress while Connor and I talked. “Yes, he and Collette are in the cells,” Connor says.
I can feel anger and sadness flowing through our bond. I immediately move to pull her into my arms. She comes willingly and wraps her arms around my middle. “I will deal with him my love. You don’t even have to see him.” “No, I do need to see him. I am not the same woman that he abused and betrayed. I want to see the ba**ard breathe his last. I am not weak or worthless and I want him to see exactly who I am now,” she says.
I pull back and look into her eyes, looking for any sign of apprehension but find none. “I am proud of you my queen. You were never weak. He was, and he never deserved to call you his. You are mine. I love
you with every part of me. You are my mate, my love, and my queen.” I bend and press a kiss on her lips. “I love you, Hudson” she says.
“Alright my queen. Let’s go deal with the sniveling little ba**ard once and for all.” She places her hand in mine, and we follow Connor to the cells. We make our way down the stairs and as soon as Augustus sees me, he is on his feet clenching the bars. “My king, surely you don’t plan to execute us without a trial. You say you are fair to wolves and Lycans alike, then surely you will allow our fellow council members to decide our fate,” he
says.

I throw my head back and laugh. “I am a witness to your treachery. There will be no trial but the remaining members of the council will be present when I carry out your sentence. They will never allow this to happer You can’t just take over after thirty years and rule the wolves. The packs will never follow you and your Lycan he spouts. I release Amber’s hand and take a step toward the cell.
He immediately backs up despite the bars separating us. “Oh how wrong you are. The council will be here in three days to pledge there alliegance to me as their king and my beautiful mate as their queen, I say pointing to Amber. “They also informed me that they were in no way involved or in agreement with your plans. I have decided to keep the council with the understanding that they are simply advisors, but my decision is final.
That is until I pass the crown to my son.”
“So enjoy your last few days of living a**hole because I’m going to take great pleasure in ending you and those two ba**ards huddled back there like cowards,” I say before retaking Amber’s hand. We make our way down the hallway until we come to the last cell on the left side of the hall. A man that is nothing like I imagined stands the minute he notices Amber.
He is at least a foot shorter than me, balding, and slightly pudgy around the middle. His eyes are solely focused on her to the point I don’t even think he realizes I am standing next to her. A young woman that looks like a younger version of Amber jumps up and rushes to stand beside him.
“Amber, you have to help us. I know I was wrong for cheating on you, but they are going to kill me for something I never did. Please for what we once shared, talk to the Alpha. Convince him that I never drugged the queen. He is confused Amber. How could I possibly drug a queen that doesn’t exist,” the man pleads. “Mom, please help us. I’m your pup. You can’t let them punish me. I’ve done nothing wrong. Those warriors were willing. I never drugged them,” the girl whines.
“Why should I help either of you,” Amber asks. They both look shocked by her question. “Amber, you are my mate. No matter the rejection, the goddess chose us to be mates. I still love you. We can,” he says, and ! growl cutting him off. His eyes move from her to me and I can see the moment he realizes I’m not a wolf.
Amber POV
As soon as Bart starts talking about loving me and being mates, the anger which I had long since buried bubbles to the surface. Paige is pacing and growling in my mind. How dare he try to act like he loves me? He never loved me. “There is no we. You were never my true mate. You didn’t love or respect me for a moment of our mateship. The best thing I ever did was reject your a**”
“You can’t mean that. Is this because of this beast? You think a Lycan will truly choose a woman like you. He is using you and when he is done he’ll cast you aside. You rejected me. You will never get a real second chance. Just take back your rejection,” he starts to say and Hudson growls again. I lay my hand on his forearm. I need to do this. I need to make sure this piece of sh*t knows that I am perfect. I may be older and no supermodel, but Hudson has helped me to love who I am.
“I could throw all kinds of insults about your body, your lack of hair, and your height, but I won’t sink to your level. I am beautiful and worthy of the second chance the goddess gave me. You on the other hand, aren’t worthy of even being a rogue. You drugged me so you could f**k willing pack members who only wanted you to get close to Xavier. Do you know how many times I have heard stories about how you were a minute mar I’m just grateful you left me alone after the girls were born.”
“You filthy b**ch. A chosen mate is not the same. He isn’t bonded to you. Even if he was, he wouldn’t stay with your pathetic a**” “I know you aren’t the brightest crayon in the box, Bart but Hudson the King of Werewolves

is my fated second chance mate. We are marked and bonded.” My words seem to finally sink in and he stumbles back. “The queen” he practically whispers. “That’s right a**hat. I am the queen you drugged and poisoned. You nearly cost me my wolf and my life.”
“You can’t. You weren’t the queen when that happened. Besides, I did it for you. I never meant to truly hurt you. I just didn’t want you to feel the pain of betrayal.” “Daddy, shut up” Collette finally chimes in. “You and your sister knew what he was doing to me and did nothing to help me. I will leave your punishment to Alpha Connor, but you, Bart, will be killed for your crimes against me.” I look at Hudson, and he smiles, wrapping his arm around my waist.
“Bart, you will be given the exact dose of wolfsbane daily that you gave to me until both you and your wolf succumb to its affects, and you cease to breathe. I will be the one that administers each dose to ensure I am the last thing you see when you leave this world and meet the goddess for your real punishment.”

“You can’t give that kind of order. You have no right to order my death. There hasn’t been a king or queen over thirty years. I don’t care what this Lycan says. You have no authority to order my death” he screams. “I can and I will. I am the Queen of Werewolves until my daughter Olivia takes the crown. I look forward to watching you suffer.”
