Revenge served in a black dress (Nora and Jace) novel Chapter 16

Things inside this pack were as they had always been. She turned to her studies and stayed away from Jace focusing once again on her assignments and quizzes. He appeared to be more annoyed with her than usual, about her lack of wanting to come to bed, and her stating she had to study all the time.

He’d thought things had been fixed because he’d seduced her, and they’d had s*x, but why would things change? When it took him all of four days of her being home for her to feel those pains of betrayal once more, they’d shot up and around her ear, then ran down a part of her neck, as he touched Gloria, and she bit her lip and breathed through the pain of it. He’d used her body to sate his needs, and was back to being with

the woman he loved.

She’d wondered how long it would take; he’d seduced her into his bed and gotten what he wanted, and no longer needed her. That was all. Nora leaned on the wall in the back corner of the library and stared aimlessly at the books in there, covered in dust and unwanted by anyone. She kind of felt like one of them and wondered why they’d not been discarded.

She wondered if Jace had trouble letting things go, even when he didn’t want them. She got up and slid her hand along some of the books. They were human reading books just fiction for enjoyment, and likely none here in the wolfen world wanted to read tales of humans falling in love and living happily ever after, because most humans didn’t do that. The human divorce rate was high, 40 to 50 percent of humans got divorced here

in the USA–In some countries it was even higher than that.

To wolves, humans didn’t know what love was, it was a fickle thing to be used and exploited, to hurt the one that they loved and torture them with it. Used as weapon against each other when one of them wanted out of that so–called loving relationship.

It was not how wolves were created. They ached to find their Goddess–Gifted Mate, the other half of their very soul; that made them feel complete and whole, loved and cherished. 90% of wolfen folk met a mate and stayed with them, loved them and cherished them until the day they died.

She, however, was in that other 10% where her Mate didn’t care, and so she no longer did either. Her Mate was just like all the humans out there, using s*x for their own gain and claiming it was love. Her Mate did that with the Mate Bond. He used it for his own personal gain, uncaring of how it made her feel.

She’d never once hurt him back in the way he hurt her, saw everything and turned away from it, because she wouldn’t be unfaithful to their bond like he was. She wasn’t like him, like that she–wolf that resided in the Luna suite, or sat in the Luna’s office, unwilling to give up her position and let them be happy and have a life that would flourish, and be blessed by the Moon Goddess herself,

Nora sighed, she’d not managed to get Gloria to do anything to her in the past week, and she needed that woman to come at her. She was she knew going to have to do something in front of her, to tick her off, and she really didn’t want to, because that would make her no better than all those humans.

She walked towards the packhouse dining hall as she thought about it. Was she just like them? She didn’t think so, because she wasn’t using Jace’s love for her, against him in any way, and couldn’t do that because he didn’t love her. She was in fact trying not to be noticed by him, and was only out to tick Gloria off at this moment in time, so no, she didn’t think she was the same. But could she do it? Just walk up to him and pretend nothing was wrong, act like the loving Mate she’d been when first here?

She walked into the dining hall, the very place her world had been shattered around her, and saw him sitter with his unit, Gloria and his unit’s Mates all talking casually as they ate. She watched as Gloria laughed at something he said, and put a hand on his arm. “You’re so funny, Jace.” She’d told him, and he’d smiled at her

Then she’d seen Gloria realize that Nora was standing watching them and Gloria had gone on to state, 3 don’t know why Nora doesn’t see It,” she sighed a little and patted his arm. “It’s probably just the age gap.”

“Likely so, we are very different people, it seems.” He nodded. “At least I have you to help me run the pack. It’s

clear she has no interest in doing so.”

“I’ll always be here for you, don’t you concern yourself with it? Maybe she just wants to study and get her degree before taking on the role properly herself. She is only 20 Jace. How many 20–year–olds do you know

are Lunas?”

“None.” He nodded after only a moment’s thought.

“Correct, so just leave her alone, she’ll come around one day. I’m certain. This new generation is all about being self–absorbed and only caring for themselves. Even we have a few unruly teens I have to deal with, and pull into line for bullying, and treating others like they don’t belong here.” she watched Gloria shake her head in a disappointed manner. As if she herself or Jace himself weren’t exactly like what she’d just described

Nora to be acting like.

She saw that woman pat Jace’s arm once more and then, as her hand slid down and away from him, she felt

it, the sharp pains of betrayal. As Gloria’s eyes moved towards her, a smile on her face, she knew exactly

what she was doing, that Nora would feel them and seemed to take great pleasure in knowing it.

She also saw that Jace didn’t brush her hand away from him or stop it either, a full blatant display of Gloria’s ownership, of her, Nora’s mate, for all in this dining room to see, his unit, the Luna’s unit and none of them said anything, none of them saw anything out of the ordinary or wrong with it.

She heard Gloria’s amused chuckle come down the mind–link, there were no words, just her laughter. “You want to play‘ Nora thought to herself bitterly, ‘Then let’s play, for real.‘ she pushed off the wall and walked across the room, put a smile on her face and stepped up to the table, to stand right next to Jace.

He looked at her, shocked to see her right there, and she smiled right at him, leaned down and kissed him right on the mouth, allowing her hand to slide over his shoulder and caress his mark spot as she did so, and she smelled it as she knew everyone else would. The desire bloom in him, for her, his Mate. He might not be in love with her, but she could do to him, exactly what he did to her

She stood and moved her eyes around the table. They were all looking at her. A little shocked, she thought, it wasn’t something any of them had seen in months; she’d been like it in the beginning, but not anymore.

Her eyes landed on Gloria, and there was anger in her eyes. Nora smiled right at her. “Sorry to interrupt,” she murmured softly, “Go about your lunch,” she stated, and turned to walk away only to have Jace’s hand curl

around her wrist and pull her to a stop.

“You can’t just kiss me like that and walk away,” he stated and yanked her back. She went willingly. It was her intent and landed right in his lap with a full giggle and looked up at him happy with his response. Allowing that happiness to be seen, and his mouth was on hers a moment later, a hungry kiss, she slid her hand up his chest and rested it on his mark spot and got growled at by him as he pulled her body hard up against his.

Nora was about to take one for her plan, to incite that she–wolf into coming at her, and making him have to choose between them. She shifted herself on that chair to straddle him and rocked herself against him,

closing her eyes, “Jace” She gasped out his name.

He was up from the table very quickly, and she wrapped her legs around him, ground herself against him, kissed him eagerly and wantonly as he walked them away from the table. “Any room.” She murmured as they

foyer. She knew the Luna’s office was right there “Please, hurry” she gasped and really rocked herself against him. He stepped them right into the Luna’s office and kicked the door shut.

His mouth was on hers, demanding and hard, as his hands were pulling at her clothes, she moaned as he cupped her breasts and let herself succumb to the mate bond, to flood this office with the scent of her arousal, his arousal. Yanked at his clothes, until he was pulling them off himself.

He was hard and ready, and she pushed him back and down onto the Luna’s office couch and climbed right on top of him, her mouth on his mark spot, grazing her teeth over it, as she slid herself along his hard length, smiled against his neck as she heard the door open and Gloria state “Not in here.” in an angry tone

Nora took him into herself before he could react to Gloria, in a hard needy thrust, and was riding him all fast and hard. She heard him groan her name in a guttural manner and more desire flooded off him. His hand gripped her hair a moment later, and he yanked her head back roughly to ****h her mark spot and create a wanton need in her. She cried out in pleasure, “f**k yes, Jace, harder.”

Her eyes moved right to a very angry–looking Gloria, and she smirked right at her. It was game on from now on, “Every time you touch him, I’ll f**k him stupid anywhere I want to inside this packhouse or out of it, for you to hear, see and smell. For the entire pack to see. she shot down the mind–link at her

She saw rage fill the woman and then a very loud and angry snarl came from her, and Jace’s head whipped up, his wolf surfaced at the threat she was presenting, and it snarled right back at her, all alpha aggression. Get out,” Hydro roared at Gloria.

She saw Gloria’s eyes widen at being told to get out of her own office and Nora saw her being yanked from the office by Mark the pack Beta, in a quick hard motion, and the office door bang shut. Hydro’s eyes turned on her, and he smelled her all deeply, growled full of desire and crashed his mouth down on to hers as he took control to mate her.
