Hey guys! I'm absolutely in awe by the amount of positive feedback I've received. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story.
There's not much in the way of sex in this chapter, but trust me, it's coming.
Constructive criticism, comments, and votes are always appreciated :heart:

Once the door to Vera's room shut behind him, Killian slumped against the wall to keep himself from toppling to the ground. His chest rose and fell in rapid succession as he tried to regain his senses.
It had taken every ounce of willpower he had not to fuck her senseless right then and there. He shouldn't have touched her at all, but the minute her deliciously sweet scent drafted over him all sense of decency vanished from his thoughts.
He had waited nearly three years since he first scented her to be able to touch her, but the day had finally come. Vera was eighteen now, she could come with him back to his lands. She
would
come with him if what had just transpired between the two of them was any indicator. Perhaps he was being cocky, but things more than often went his way.
His cock was straining painfully against the fabric of his jeans. Though his wolf had highly disagreed on the matter, he hadn't allow himself to find his own release in Vera. He had already imposed his desires on her once (though she hadn't seemed to mind) and hadn't wanted to risk pushing her any farther.
Killian picked himself up off the wall and stumbled his way to the nearest shared restroom in a lust-clouded haze, which he thankfully remembered spotting on the way up to Vera's room. The second he was alone, he unzipped his jeans and slid down his boxer-briefs, freeing himself from the confines with a moan.
It wasn't that he had a problem with public nudity and sex, he was a wolf after all, but he didn't think jacking off in the middle of one of the strongest alpha's in the country's house was the best idea. Not to mention this was his future father in law.
But if he didn't find release after seeing his mate cum for the first time, he would surely die.
With one large hand that barely encircled the girth of his organ, he slowly stroked himself up and down. His rough, calloused fingertips only added to his pleasure, a shudder running up his spine. He dragged his thumb across the top of his circumcised cock, spreading his warm pre-cum over the thick mushroom head.
He threw his head backwards and moaned, picturing Vera's pretty little blonde head bobbing back and forth on his swollen cock. He could almost feel it, her plump lips running over him while he jammed himself down her hot little throat, his hands tangled her hair.
Fuck
. He was close. He tried to hold back, but a few more jerks and he felt his cock swell in his grasp. His hot seed shot out, landing unceremoniously in the toilet in several powerful spurts. Damn, he hadn't cum that fast since he was a horny teenager. Well, he was still horny, but he wasn't a teenager.
He couldn't remember the last time he had to get himself off- he usually had others for that. But he figured fucking someone other than his future mate at this point was a no-go. Besides, he had to meet with the alpha.
He caught a glance of himself in the large, oval shaped mirror. His large eyes were a shimmering emerald color and were matched with a winning smile. His inky black hair hung in loose waves, ending just below his ears. With high cheekbones and light stubble covering his strong jawline, he knew he was attractive. There was no denying that- not that he would ever want to.
He quickly zipped himself up and did his best to wash Vera's scent away from him.
Hey, Alpha Herondale, nice to meet you- I just tasted your daughter's cunt.
He chuckled at the thought as he exited at the restroom.
With a bit of pep in his step, he made his way back down to the compound's library, avoiding the suspicious gazes of the many wolves he passed on the way. He wasn't supposed to wander, but he caught a whiff of Vera's scent and it led him to her bedroom, unable to resist the temptation.
The library was lined floor to ceiling with books, both old and new. Dane, his second, sat impatiently at one of the many tables, hurriedly rising to his feet as the alpha reentered.
"Where the hell have you been? You said you would be back in a minute!" The honey-blonde beta hissed, crossing his arms.
Killian rolled his eyes, nonchalantly leaning against one of the heavy wooden tables. "Oi, don't be so dramatic. I was just havin' a walk about the place."
Dane narrowed his eyes in disbelief before letting out a sigh. "Why do you smell like her?" He pinched the bridge of his nose, squeezing his eyes shut.
"Do I?" The alpha shrugged, but a grin spread across his lips.
Dane rolled his eyes, running a hand through his hair. "It's definitely noticeable. You didn't fuck her did you?"
"Just gave her a taste is all."
"Kill! This is serious! We're in the Herondale's
house
for crying out loud! If he-"
Killian waved him off, interrupting. "Oh stop. I am being serious. I didn't fuck her. Wanted to, but I kept hearing your annoyin' little voice in the back of my head tellin' me it wasn't a good idea." He rolled his eyes, an annoyed growl rumbling from his chest.
Dane scoffed. "Since when do you listen to anything I tell you?" Though he might not seem it, he highly respected the alpha. Killian was an effective leader, not to mention his best friend, but the man was impulsive. That impulsiveness tended to follow with some questionable decisions in his personal affairs.
The alpha laughed and opened his mouth for a snark, but was cut off by the door to the library swinging open.
An omega, no older than her late teens nervously stepped in and bowed his head respectfully. "A-Alpha Herondale is ready to see you now. He sends his apologies for the wait."
Dane flashed the girl a small smile and nodded. "It's no issue. There wasn't much of a wait." He sent Killian an accusatory glance.
Killian just chuckled, ignoring the accusatory gaze as he followed the omega out of the library, Dane close behind.
The two were led through the maze that was the massive compound and paused outside the council room, hearing the last bit of a conversation.
"-and I think she has the right to know, Vince." A high-pitched voice full of concern rang out. The alpha's mate, Killian realized. Cynthia, he believed was her name.
The Herondale Alpha let out a low growl. "
No,
" he replied angrily, "she doesn't. We've already quelled the issue with the Cassidy clan- It's over and done. She doesn't need to know."
There was a pause.
"...I don't like lying to our daughter." Cynthia sighed.
"But she needs to accept the match. We can't let... the incident cause our family anymore pain."
At that, Killian pushed passed the omega, despite her protests. In the council room was a large, round table. Its occupants included several council members, a few betas, and the Alpha at the head- his mate standing behind him.
