The day has come for Fay, the day that she was supposed to meet her soul mate and true love. Werewolves held a mating ceremony each year for young werewolves that have come of age to find their fated mates. Each werewolf could find their mates from the age of twenty as was Fay's age. Their five Lycan leaders or The Five as they were called attend the ceremony each year to celebrate with fellow werewolf citizens. They ruled their werewolf lands with iron fists and maintained the peace. They were Alpha Nathan, Alpha Sloan, Alpha Wyatt, Alpha Mason and Alpha Clause. Alpha Clause was known to be very fierce and strict that no one dared to cross him. Fay was walking down the stairs of her parent's two story building with her best friend, Amy to attend the mating ceremony.
What the Alphas did with the red stone was what made werewolves find their mates. So as soon as the red light hit the moon, every werewolf there started feeling a pull towards their mates. The need to find her mate increased inside Fay as her eyes turned red like the stone and every werewolf's eyes there.She didn't know where Amy had gone because she was too busy trying to find her mate as the red moon guided her. She heard other werewolves murmur 'mate' to each other as they found their mates.As her eyes moved through the crowd, she felt them suddenly snap to Alpha Clause on the stage like someone had turned her head to look at him. He was already looking at her and their gaze locked. She couldn't pull away from his gaze as she felt so drawn to him, she wanted to run to him and mark him then and the
"Hi." Aster greeted Fay."Nice to meet you, Aster.""Nice to meet you too.""We also have to go, it was a pleasure to know you both." Alpha Clause said to Amy and Aster."It was our pleasure, Alpha. Take good care of our Fay." Amy said as she glimpsed at Fay then at him."I will." Alpha Clause said as he glanced at Fay, meeting her eyes. She blushed at the intensity of his stare and looked at Amy."Bye Amy, I will call you." Fay said to her."Bye, you're going to make a great Luna." Amy said and
Alpha Clause and Fay stood up from the couch as Selene and Thomas came to stand in front of them."Hello Alpha Clause, we are delighted to have you as our Fay's mate." Thomas said with a grin on his face as he looked from Fay to Alpha Clause. He stretched out his hand to Alpha Clause. The Alpha let go of Fay's hand to shake her dad's hand."Hello, it is my utmost pleasure to be Fay's mate." He replied with a small smile."Do you plan on taking her with you tonight?" Thomas asked since it was in their tradition for the male to take his mate back to his home at the time they meet."Yes, we will be going right after greeting you." He answered as his gaze went to Fay who was watching their interaction along with S
The car stopped, pulling her from her thoughts and she took her gaze away from the window to catch Alpha Clause staring at her with a look she couldn't identify in his eyes. He let a small smile touch his lips as he continued staring into her eyes. She felt her eyes go to his lips as she noticed how pink and plump they looked. She looked back into his eyes, seeing that he saw her staring at his lips. Fay averted her gaze, licking her own lips as she felt hot from only his stare and smile. His eyes followed the movement of her tongue across her lips as they darkened with heat. As he looked back into her eyes, she realized that they were suddenly only an inch apart. She pulled back and quickly opened the door then climbed out to escape the tension. It must have been the mate bond, pulling them to each other. She wanted to be wi
The door opened to a very beautiful dining room, a long mahogany dining table with chairs and a chandelier hung from the ceiling. Fruits and bottles of drinks were arranged on the dining table. They walked towards the dining table as she looked around the room. He let go of her hand as they reached the table and pulled out the chair beside the head for her to sit. She sat down, saying, "Thanks." He nodded and pulled out his own chair at the head. He sat down and placed his arms on the table as she laced hers on her lap under the table. Fay looked up at him to see him staring at her. She felt herself blush at his penetrating stare and averted her gaze. "So why aren't you the leader of The Five?" "Pardon?" He
"You are very loyal and caring, that makes you a very great Alpha. We all look up to you even though we don't see you every day like the pack members that live here." She said as she pulled the liver and kidney sauce to her front and scooped some up in her spoon. "You are going to be seeing me every day from now on, Fay." He replied as he scooped more food on his spoon as she swallowed her mouthful. "And I love that." "So do I, and I love that I will always have you by my side. You have no idea how long I have waited to find you, my one." He said, still holding his spoonful as her gaze went to him as she gripped her empty spoon. Even as they were eating, she felt the strong pull of the mat
"I do too, but how are we going to survive through today? You seem to be losing control." She said as she gestured to his amber colored eyes."Oh baby, I am still very much in control." He said as he flashed her a lopsided smile that made her shiver delightfully."Then why are your eyes amber, your wolf's eye color?""I am a Lycan, I can be both wolf and man at the same time. The change in my eye color shows how close my wolf is to the surface. He can't wait to mark you, Fay."She let out a breath as she tried to calm herself and her own wolf. But the way he kept talking and the way he kept saying her name kept making her hot all over and wanting to mate with him. "I can also feel my wolf pushing me closer to you."
Kaden looked a bit surprised while Carter smiled as he took the container from me, "Thank you, Luna.""Yeah, thanks, Luna Fay." Kaden added as he got over his shock."No problem." I replied to them and grabbed the third transparent plastic container filled with snacks out of the four that we brought. I was glad that Kaden was getting comfortable in the pack and genuinely trying to help us. I hoped that he wouldn't betray us, I also hoped the same for his friend back at the pack house.I stood up and made my way to the Lunas, noticing that Luna Ashley still hasn't returned and it was getting darker. As I sat down beside Luna Kasey, the two stopped talking and faced me with smiles on their faces. I grinned at them as I opened the container, grabbed a hot dog and passed it over, "Here, for dinner.""Thanks so much, Luna Fay. We didn't even think of bringing any food." Luna Kasey said with a smile on her face as she took the container from me and grabbed a samosa."Yeah, thank you, Luna F
I drew in a breath and let it out as the two came to sit beside me on the fallen tree branch, "Yeah, I understand what you mean.""I just feel bad for Luna Hailey that she passed away without finding out Luna Ashley's true colors." I added as I looked over at her limp body still in Alpha Sloan's arms. He looked torn and I wasn't sure if he could even go on without her."It's how fate wants it to be, so let's hope that it's for the best." Luna Kat replied to me as she wrapped her arms around herself."Yeah, let's hope so." Luna Kasey added just as a pigeon cawed as it flew towards us.It landed on Alpha Clause's shoulder which made him realize that there was a note strapped on its leg. Bailey and Rachel must have tried calling our phones and found out that there was no signal then decided to send a letter through a pigeon. My thought was proven right when Alpha Clause made his way to me to tell me what the letter was about. As he reached me, I noticed a concerned look on his face."Thi
"I have a lighter." Alpha Nathan answered me as he started pulling the lighter from his pants pocket. I wondered why he had one, did he smoke? Wow, appearances could really fool people because he didn't look like someone that smoked."Wait, what if we draw more witches or danger if we make a fire?" Luna Kasey asked, looking concerned.Alpha Clause shook his head as he answered her, "We have already wounded the witches badly and scared them away, so I don't think that they will be coming back anytime soon. And as Fay has pointed out earlier, there are no animals in this forest.""That's right, besides, we need the light to see and to warm us for the night." Alpha Mason added as he nodded."Alright then, I guess this is for the best." Luna Kasey muttered as she let out a sigh."Yes, it is, babe." Alpha Nathan replied to her as he took her hand in his and gave her a comforting squeeze.Alpha Clause glanced at me as he took his arm from around me and stood up from the fallen tree branch,
"This way, I see a path." Carter said as he gestured towards a path that led into the forest."Okay." Alpha Clause muttered while the rest noddedI glanced at Carter and then Alpha Clause, "Alright, I hope it leads to the Lake of Eversea."Me too." He added with a worried nodWe started making our way towards it while looking around and being cautious as we tried to notice any traps or anything like that. I frowned as I realized something as we continued walking deeper into the forest, "It's too quiet, I've never seen a forest as quiet as this one before."Me neither, but what could possibly be the reason?" Alpha Clause asked as he looked around, looking like he was thinking more on it"There must be no animals because the witch from earlier said that if she can't eat us, she would have to eat fruits." I answered his question as I glanced at him"How is that even possible?" Luna Kasey asked in wonder as she looked around the forest along with all of us"I think-" Alpha Mason started,
The witch let out a sigh as she raised her hand, muttering, "Now, I have no food to eat. If only more of you came here every so often, I wouldn't be stuck eating fruit all the time."She moved her fingers and the small black snakes slittered off of their shoulders and to the ground then glided over to her. They all glided into her black dress and blended into it. I was amazed, yet horrified at such magic, but I was also curious about what she said, so I asked her, "Why won't you leave this forest then if there's no food here?She looked at me, feeling surprised that I heard her mutterings, probably, not aware of my werewolf hearing. However, she tightened her lips and answered me, "I am bound to this forest forever, that is how it is, I don't remember anything besides being in this forest and eating any living thing that comes in here and gets trapped in my illusion."Then I wish that you will be able to leave someday and be free." I said to her, sincerely as I saw Alpha Clause and th
"Yes, we will protect each other." I murmured to him, making him glance back at me and our eyes clashed. My lips stretched into a wide smile, feeling glad for his care as my cheeks flushed in a blush at his intense stare. However, our attention was pulled away before we got too lost in each other's eyes."Yeah, that's right. We will protect them no matter what." Alpha Nathan added as he took his hand off of Luna Kasey's shoulder to hold her hand in his own.She smiled back at him as she replied, "I know you will!""And so don't be scared, we won't let anything harm you in there." Alpha Sloan said in a promise as he looked at Luna Hailey with a reassuring smile.She smiled back at him as she nodded, "I know you won't."Kaden and Carter stayed so quiet as they only observed us that I almost forgot that they were there. It made me wonder what was going through their heads as they stood silently in our midst of couples."Now, let's get going before the afternoon passes." Alpha Wyatt said
"Sounds like a plan." Alpha Nathan answered him with a smile on his lips."Yes, it sounds like a good idea." Alpha Mason replied next as Luna Kat nodded in response."Yeah, let's go." Luna Kasey added with a smile too while Alpha Wyatt, Alpha Sloan and Luna Hailey only nodded their heads in response. Luna Ashley just forced a smile on her face as she started walking with us. I didn't trust her coming with us, but I couldn't protest since she was Alpha Wyatt's mate.Alpha Clause stepped closer to me as he took my hand in his, interlacing our fingers as we made our way towards the Forbidden Forest which we could see from a distance. I glanced at his face to see him smiling at me as he stared at me and I blushed at the intensity of his gaze, but smiled back at him.Our moment was broken by Luna Ashley as she said, "Luna Fay, I think that the red headed vampire likes you a lot since he even calls you mon amour."I knew that she wanted to start drama, so I just smiled at her as I replied,
As soon as we did, I realized that there were more vampires than I thought and two were rushing towards me in a blur as they used their vampire speed to run. I was quick enough to dodge them as I moved to the side swiftly. They stopped running and turned around as they both growled at me. Both were male and looked just like the vampire that stood in front of our car a few minutes ago except one was blond and the other was a red head. They were also very attractive as you would expect vampires to be.The blonde one raised his hand with his claws out, trying to swipe at my face, but I jerked back, missing his claws just as the other one threw a kick towards my abdomen. I grabbed his foot and threw it back at him, making him lose his footing as he fell down on the ground. The other one rushed at me again, swiftly throwing a punch at my legs. Since I didn't see it coming, my legs buckled and fell down on the ground, sprawled on my back.The vampire pounced on me, but I was quick enough to
"Yeah, that's true, but I still think that he's a douchebag for making it so hard. Let's just hope that going through that dangerous forest is worth it." She muttered as she placed her arm on her thigh which was beside his arm, so her arm was now brushing his. But as soon as he saw this, he pulled his arm away while throwing a stern loom her way.Luna Ashley looked at him through her lashes as she batted her eyelashes and crossed her leg, making her dress ride up to expose her thighs. I clenched my teeth in anger and jealousy at seeing her throw hints at my Alpha mate and trying to seduce him. She lowered her voice as she added, "But it doesn't matter anyway since you will be there to protect us, Alpha Clause."How dare that bitch try to seduce my mate and right in front of me AND Alpha Wyatt who was in the middle seat? My wolf growled in my head, also feeling as angry as I was feeling. But before I could say what was on my mind, Alpha Clause said to her in a cold voice, "I'm sure tha
