The Lycan King novel Chapter 74

Max

"Looks perfect, doesn't it?" I asked, as I stared at her ass and thighs through the mirror.

Talia had her front pressed to me and she turned her head around to look at her backside in the mirror. Her hand raised to touch the beautiful marks on her ass. Her finger touched it and she flinched a little before a smile formed on her face. "Perfect. Thanks," she raised on her toes to kiss my jaw.

A smirk formed on my face as I gripped her ass, feeling the hot welts and bruises and wounds under the palm of my hand. She raised on her toes and her head rolled back and a moan left her mouth, "fuck."

"Aphrodisiac," I lowered my head and buried my face in her neck, taking her scent in and trying hard to control myself.

The entirety of her ass and thighs were marked, not a single spot remained where smooth skin could be seen. Normally, after hurting her, we had sex for the next couple of hours. We were insatiable.

But we couldn't right now because this is a 'punishment'. And I couldn't have my smell all over her.

"After they leave, you're going to fuck me." She ground her hips into my groin. "I'm horny as fuck, Max."

Before I met Talia, I was a dominant and a sadist. But she isn't a submissive. Just a masochist. It was always an issue of conflict between us in the starting- it was always a competition of who would be on top. This entire mission was a blessing in disguise for both of us, it helped us understand each other on a deeper level. She understood my need to dominate and I understood her need to be independent and not be a mindless woman who did nothing but do as she was told. She wasn't a human, she was a strong she-wolf.

My respect and love for her grew after I understood her. She's a strong, fierce woman who doesn't bend to the will of a man. She's her own woman. And fuck me if that doesn't turn me on more.

And we had an understanding now. There were times when I needed to dominate and she would submit and give in, especially in the bedroom. The rest of the day, she would do her own thing?? make fun of me, prank me or annoy the fuck out of me. But she knew just how much to push me before I would have her over my knee. And most times, she crossed the limit because she wanted to be punished. It kept both of us on our toes. No one knew when the other one wanted control and no one knew who will submit. It was always a guessing game and it was fun. It kept life interesting and it was so much more better than having a full time sub.

"As you wish, Kitten." I slapped her ass and grinned when she winced. "Let's get you dressed now."

We walked into her closet and went to her slutty clothes section. She took out two outfits and showed them to me, "Sexy french maid or tortured slave?"

One was an expensive sexy french maid outfit made out of silk. It wrapped around the small of her waist and covered a small part of her breasts but a little adjustment and she would be exposed. And then it had a small skirt that ended at the top of her ass and she would flash her cunt when she walked. The tortured slave outfit was a torn black dress that, as the name suggests, puts her on display from the torn areas.

"French maid." I replied. "You'll be 'serving us', it's more apt."

Nodding, she put on the dress and I did her zip from behind. I took out her collar and put it round her neck. And leather cuffs on both her wrists but left them detached. She then did a little make up before putting on her killer heels.

"How do I look?" She flipped her hair behind her shoulder and walked towards me like she was walking down the runway.

I licked my thumb and then dragged it down her eyelashes to her cheek, smearing her mascara so it looked like she had cried. "Hot as fuck," I rasped.

She smirked, put her hand around my waist and grabbed my ass before squeezing it. "Let's get the show going." And then she turned around and walked out. My eyes fell on her perky little ass as I followed her to the living room, barely managing to not trip on the carpet or the stairs.

Exactly then, the doorbell rang.

Talia took a deep breath and got in character by losing her usual confident expression and then nodded at me. She went and opened the door.

Emilio, with three of his men walked inside my house. I gave him a wide smile, "good evening, gentlemen." He had worn a shirt and a suit jacket so I couldn't see much but I knew he was all stitched up by now. Our tracker was working swimmingly.

He gave Talia a narrowed look before looked at me and smiled, "good evening, Maximilian. This is my Beta-Bruce, my Head of Arms- Miguel and my Army General?? Luis.

I shook hands with each of them, thinking that if I kill all of them right here, right now, the entire Montana Pack will be handicapped and them taking over the pack would be so much easier. But Kol had asked me not to and I believed in him and his plan. And I know he was doing this for the greater good. And for the first time in my life, I wanted to go the right thing. I wanted to be the man Talia would be proud of. And I wasn't proud of who I used to be. But now, I wanted to be. And following Nikolai's lead would help me with that.

"This is my mate, Talia." I said.

Talia got to her knees and bowed till her forehead touched the ground, "welcome to Master's humble abode." I made a pleased sound from the back of my throat and she got up to her feet again.

"Isn't she the one who attacked you?" Bruce asked Emilio.

"Yes," I answered for him. "And has paid for it. Show them, slut." Talia turned around, showing them her marked ass and thighs.

Emilio simply grunted at her, "I need an apology."

"I'm sorry, Sir. Please forgive me." Talia turned around and bowed to him.

"This won't do for me." He grunted. "I want to punish her myself."

No way in hell, asshole. "No on other than me is allowed to touch her in any way. And she is forbidden to touch anyone else too." I narrowed my eyes at him and I could feel his wolf cover away. What a pussy. "I have already punished her. And she has helped me tremendously in planning the attack strategy and she will join the fight too. You may consider that as an apology."?

His pupils contracted in fear and he nodded. "Okay."

I smiled again and then at his friends too. I caught Bruce looking at me distrustfully but I ignored him. "Let's take a seat, shall we?" I walked in and they followed. Talia came after? them to make sure they didn't do anything like bug our house or something.

"I think it will be best if we get down to business first," Bruce said, "and then continue with the small talk and dinner." Emilio nodded at his Beta's suggestion.

"Okay." I shrugged. "Let's go to my office then." I led them upstairs to my office. Once everyone had entered, Talia closed the door and came to stand near me.

I opened the map of the Rogue Pack on the desk and began telling them the attack plan, especially what Nikolai and I had discussed. As the plan went on, everyone's faces start getting cleared of doubts and suspicion. They started gaining confidence in the plan and in me.

"We cannot bring half our army for this, Alpha." Bruce complained.

"If we do not follow this plan to the T, if there is a single mistake, one wolf will mind-link the rest of the pack. We cannot have that. We have to ambush them in the middle of the night when everyone is asleep! We need to catch them off guard." I asserted. "And for that, the more numbers we have, the better."

"He's right," Emilio agreed with me but Bruce remained unconvinced.

"I have exhausted every possible plan, this one is the best. We attack from all four sides to kill everyone. Even if one wolf is wandering outside and sees us, he will alert the pack."

"Half of our army...it's risky, Alpha." Luis muttered.

"Half of your army... that's why it's not risky." I said. "They are only a hundred and fifty, wolves, more fifty or so if you add Mozog's vampires. That's still only two hundred. If we take an army bigger than them, we can easily kill them all."

"He has a point," Miguel said. "If we fight when they attack, we will need arms and ammunitions. And that costs a lot of money and Mystic Lupus doesn't sell those. We will be at Adrik's wrath if we make a deal with humans or any other pack." He told Emilio. I didn't know why Adrik would care but I didn't interfere. "We won't even needs guns if we go according to Maximilian's plan. We should go with it."

Emilio nodded, pleased about the response and then turned to look at Luis.

"How do you know so much about the Rogue Pack?" Luis asked. "Yes, your mate was a pack member but how does she know so much about the minute details?"

"She did some of the paper work for them." I easily lied. "We have an advantage here. She knows the entire pack better than all of us. Or else how would we know Volkov has sniper guns at the roof of his house? Or what is the strength of their army? Or that Volkov's house is a little away from the rest of the pack? We wouldn't have known this information without her. But now we do, and it would be stupid not to take advantage of it."

"True," he nodded. "I'm with it." He agreed too.

"Bruce?" Emilio asked. He still looked very sceptical.

"I'm not sure, something doesn't seem right." He crossed his arms. "It seems too..." He trailed off.

I need to take a different approach with him. He was pissing me off now. I placed my palms on the top of the desk and looked at him unflinchingly, showing my dominion over him. "Do you have a better plan? He is attacking in eight days. We need to make a move quickly."

He pressed his lips together.

I looked over at Emilio. "I thought you were the Alpha, Emilio." I gritted. It's time to rile him up enough to make the final decision.

'What are you doing?'?Talia hissed through through the mind-link.?'You need to convince him, not aggravate him.'?I shut the mind-link tight. I needed to do this my way now. The right way doesn't always work.

And I had gotten to know him pretty well in our second meeting itself. He was a Beta by blood so he did everything in his power to appear like an Alpha, which he never will be. Just like any other normal wolf, he is hard wired to submit to anybody stronger than him and to show dominance on those weaker than him. He tries to over compensate to prove to everyone that he is the Alpha. And to do that, he can go to any length. Including blindly trusting some he has met twice to lead him into enemy territories. I've never met a bigger dumbass than him in my entire life. Even Bruce had a better sense of judgment than him.

"Volkov came in?my?club and insulted?me?and ordered?my?mate to harm?my?friend. I don't care he removed Talia from his pack. Good for me, she doesn't ask me to go there and leave me alone for a week again," I snorted. "But he did?just?this much and I'm going to take his?entire?pack down."
