“Yes.” Her response was made in a sigh and she anticipated his next move.
“Not yet. You need your rest. I’ll mark you tonight. I hope you’re no longer sore by then.” He pulled back before swooping on her mouth and kissing her intensely.
She was unable to react to his pronouncements and simply responded to the kiss. It felt like drowning but someone was there to anchor her.
He let her off when she began pushing him, gasping for air.
“How are you feeling? Better?” He wanted to know if the ointments were truly effective.
“Can’t you kiss me normally? At a pace where I can breathe well?” She grumbled as she threw him another glare. He laughed, seeing how adorable she looked.
“I’ll remember that. Does your body still ache?”
Luna took a moment to assess herself. “Better. There’s still a bit of pain here and there, though.”
“I&rs
She reached for his face and wiped it, breathing heavily under him.“I’m alright. I’ll be fine. Take me, Alex. Please?” She weaved her hand through his hair as he began to move, slowly pulling out and gently pushing in. He held her gaze, making sure she’s not needlessly suffering. It was pleasurable, with less pain, but she needed more. He suckled on her breast as he began pounding her faster. The sensation became more intense as he paid attention to different parts of her body. She arched her back and clutched his shoulder as she reached the highest point and an orgasm rocked her from head to toe. He continued thrusting as he traced the column of her neck, licking every inch of skin exposed to him. She felt it and her body tensed in anticipation. It was something he easily noticed. He rammed harder into her as he slowly punctured her skin with his fangs. She cried out from the mix of pleasure and pain, feeling him explode inside her as he began
“Dig in. I know you’re hungry. I’ll join you in a while.”“Hmm.” She picked up the utensils and began eating. Alex went to distribute the other dishes to the wolves before joining her.“Don’t spoil me. Or the wolves for that matter. They might come looking for you every morning.” She had to remind him, but he noticed the sadness in her tone.His heart felt itchy. He took a moment to contemplate.“I mean, I didn’t do it just to earn your forgiveness. I did it to show I care. I wanted to take care of you and the wolves who mean so much to you. I’m not going to stop just because I already earned your forgiveness. Unless I’m away, I’ll surely make breakfast for all of you.” He took her hand and pressed kisses on her knuckles.“Really?” It was as if she couldn’t believe it and it pained him a little. He was really a stupid jerk.“Real
After another companionable silence, Luna inquired about the upcoming alpha conference and what issues they’ve discussed in the previous years. He was all too happy to answer each of her questions. Having her in his arms was quite comforting. They ate when they got hungry and napped together under the shade of the trees. The breeze was quite refreshing. It was a kind of peace he has never known before. Whenever he opens his eyes, he would stare at her and kiss her anywhere in the face. He woke her up a few hours before sunset. They needed to prepare to visit the pack house. Luna fussed a little, wanting to be very presentable to his family. “They already like you.” He reminded her, which she candidly ignored. “Which one should I wear?” She presented him with two dresses and he gestured to the left. He liked the color better. “Are you sure?” Her questioning tone was cute. “If you like the other one, it’s also a good choice.” He couldn’t help but tease her. She pursed her lips befo
Alex gritted his teeth as he slowly glared at her. She quickly looked down in defeat. She knew it would be hard on him.“What are you talking about? Why won’t I be?” This time, his emotions slipped. Clyde reached out to grab his shoulder. Sab got confused and was unable to react in time. Just like Alex, she couldn’t seem to understand her words.Alex looked at her with disappointment, seemingly hurt by her betrayal. This is what she’s supposed to tell him and his family? He couldn’t believe it. Tonight was supposed to be a fun event! He’s happy with her and now she’s dropping this on him?He was understandably upset and angry.“Get up and come out for a while.” Clyde grabbed him and took him away. His son needed to cool down.Luna hung her head. It was all within her expectations but the pain in her heart . . . she was not expecting it to hurt this much. His anger was real and it was directed at her.“He didn’t mean it. He’s just upset. Wait for him to calm down and I’m sure he’ll be
For some reason, he found himself smiling. “Just me? How about you? Aren’t you my Luna? If I’m going to become the Alpha King, aren’t you going to become the Luna Queen?”She pursed her lips, “There is that.”Her response made him chuckle.They went in and his countenance looked better. His parents were relieved, whereas Tyler became apprehensive. Was it too much to ask to be excluded from the conversation?Alex eyed him and connected the dots fairly quickly. “I guess that meant Snow Mountain will be having you as their next alpha.”Tyler grimaced, feeling awkward and embarrassed.“Is that correct?” Sab turned to Luna for confirmation.She nodded, making the younger man sigh. She actually revealed it.Clyde squinted, noticing his younger son’s reaction was not quite right.“You knew about it? Since when?”Alex raised an eyebrow when his father posed those questions. He caught up and realized it must be true. Tyler was too calm, and he simply grimaced. There was no outburst, of disbeli
“What kind of training are you having?” Clyde knew a little about his activities, but he hasn’t given it too much attention.“Uhm . . .” Tyler tried to inform him in an organized manner, but he stumbled with his words a few times.“That’s it?”“Yes, sir.”Sab looked amused. Why does this kid keep calling his dad sir? That’s what you usually call your trainer. Clyde hasn’t been involved with trainings in a long while.“Mid-afternoon every day, you should report to my office. I have enough tasks to give you.”“Yes, sir.” Shit. Everyday?“Uhm, does that include weekends?”Clyde raised an eyebrow. What do you think?“Only weekdays, right? Also, I usually leave for one week every month, to visit Layla.”“You still haven’t convinced her to come back?”Tyler deflated with that i
Her eyes widened as she yelped. His action was so unexpected and the next minute seemed like a blur. When she opened her eyes, they’re already at the porch of the cottage he picked. She vaguely remembered that he can move very fast if he wanted to. The moment he brought her inside the house, his mouth was on hers again, consuming her. A few seconds later, she was laid on the bed. His breathing turned heavy as she felt her own body responding to him. He kissed her gently, touching her carefully and unhurriedly. They seem to have all the time in the world.He pleasured her in more ways than one. Alex couldn’t help but taste her blood again. It was ecstasy. Luna was glad his reaction wasn’t as bad as she initially thought, but he paid too much attention to her reactions. She has begged him to stop several times but he coaxed her into giving in. She was lost and she felt like she didn’t know who she was anymore. There was only pleasure with him.The next morning, she was startled awake to
The next morning, Luna wasn’t pleased when they were about to leave. He was daring her to drive the vehicle and she adamantly refused.“Come on, just try it. It’s simple enough.”“No. I’d rather not go if you’re going to force me.”They’ve been going back and forth since earlier, trying to convince the other. She was close to snapping and uttered such words. They both froze. Each of them felt guilty for different reasons.Alex sighed and ran his hand through his hair. “Alright. Just get in. I’ll drive.”It was such a bad start and they were silent for a while. Luna knew herself. She’s not skilled enough to drive. She didn’t even have experience behind the wheel. She didn’t want to risk crashing the pack’s asset into a ditch or worse, into a human.Alex reached for her hand, making her feel relieved.“I’m sorry.” She felt useless again. She realizing he was simply encouraging her to learn how, but she flatly declined. She should be more willing. It would be good for herself, too.Alex
Alex already came up with a few things they want to establish for the welfare of most packs. He can’t say they’re the best with training, but he’s sure they can come up with the best training program. The other alphas could come in to give lessons once in a while. No one contradicted this suggestion so it was easily given a go signal. They still need to prepare the infrastructure so it would take time. It would be like a training camp, which would only last a few months per batch. Their target date was a year from now, making it quite manageable. Luna was highly interested. She knew it’s a way for their future daughters to meet their mates and it would work the same way for others. It’s a good channel to allow members from various packs to legitimately meet in a safe environment. The year passed by and Luna gave them another surprise. It was unheard of but it made everyone accepting of what’s to come. It also destroyed the remaining doubts in the hearts of everyone. As for an heir, L
When they retired to their room, Alex and Luna stared at each other in all seriousness. Then, they both sighed. The celebration was tiring and they’re glad it was over. They also ended up chuckling at their similar reactions. “Tired?” He helped her take off the crown and the light cape she’s wearing. “Hmm.” She stood still for a moment before doing the same for him. “I’m not wearing that crown every day.” She declared as she stored them in a separate cabinet. “I’m with you. It’s quite impractical.” He went to take a shower and she joined him after getting a change of clothes. As they laid on the bed, Luna tried to relax in his arms. “What are you thinking?” He gently asked while caressing her hair. “Will you share your plans now? The Lycans are no longer a threat. What do you have in mind?” She spoke softly, tilting her head to look at her mate. “Do you foresee other threats in our future?” His question made her pause and he caught the moment she had a vision. He waited and did
Jared was worried. He left his mate and their daughter home. Polly was sick and couldn’t come with him to the celebration. He was reluctant to go but she convinced him that he must. “You’re an alpha now. Your presence is required.” When he didn’t look convinced, she added, “We’ll be fine here. Nothing would happen. Alex already confirmed that there are no more Lycans. No one would attack us while you’re gone. Besides, don’t you remember Luna’s words? We’ll have a son soon.” Her eyes twinkled, looking forward to having another child. She has waited for so long before they were blessed with one. The prospect of having another made her excited. She wanted to be a mother. She wanted them to have an actual family, complete with children. He sighed as he relented, “Fine. I’ll come back as soon as I can.” “I know. Try to have a little fun, Jared. The war is over. When you return, we’ll be able to focus on our own lives. I’d like to see you spend some time with your daughter.” Jared grun
Layla went to the celebration, along with Tyler and his parents. They dared to leave the territory in the hands of their trusted men. At this point, they were quite certain that the Lycans have been eliminated. Or so they thought. The last Lycan was introduced to everyone by the Luna Queen herself. It seemed symbolic, if she was called a peace offering. But why a peace offering? The Lycans didn’t offer them peace. They were quite determined to ruin the werewolves. Who exactly offered the peace? That’s what she couldn’t figure out. “Who knows? Maybe it’s one of Luna’s mysteries. She definitely knew something. Let’s just wait and see.” Tyler replied to her when she voiced out her thoughts. She showed him a tentative smile, which also carried her confusion. She looked adorable in her dress, prompting him to bop her nose. It’s the most he could do when they’re surrounded by many people. He licked his lip, tempted to kiss his mate. Layla blushed when she noticed his movement. She pinche
Brix spearheaded the celebration. They don’t have resident elders yet. To be honest, none of them think they need one. Luna was enough and she knew more than any other werewolf. The crowns were displayed on the platform and each guest couldn’t help but check them out. It’s a sight to see. The couple went around to greet people. They made time to chat with the people they’re really close with. Before anyone could complain about hunger, a ceremony was performed to officially recognize them as Alpha King and Luna Queen. “Didn’t think I would see the day we’ll have royals again.” Someone whispered. “Didn’t think I would see this palace restored to its former glory and actually set foot in here.” Another responded. Everyone observed the ceremony with admiration and respect for the couple. They have proven themselves. They are powerful, having abilities unique to them and empathetic towards their kind. They cared and they were humble. No one believed their reign would be detrimental to
Seeing how everyone has worked hard to overcome the enemies, Layla truly felt useless. She’s not a fighter. She’s not even inclined to train. She’s terribly clumsy. Just like her father, she’s more of a thinker than a warrior. She has a good memory and she likes to read and analyzing things. It’s one of the things which made her believe the city is where she belonged. She helped out where she can, tending to the needs of their many guests. When Luna began healing those which have been injected by the unknown substance, Layla went to assist her. She knew her dad would appreciate certain information and some blood samples, so she took them when she can. Alpha Clyde gave her permission to do so and a little laboratory was set up for her. It’s only for storage and observation as it’s not equipped with the right machines. She already told her dad to come and help out. Alex’s expression darkened when he was informed that his mate has fainted. She worked beyond her limits, resulting to a l
“What was his name again? The bastard’s going rabid.” Austin was quick to report, despite not knowing each detail. “Raul, he’s called.” Nathan grunted in addition, “He’s acting wild. Erratic. We’ll need to corner to him.” “I’m right with you. Leave him to me.” Luna responded, surprising the others. “Why are you here?” “Weren’t you inside?” “He escaped, so I followed him.” “Need assistance?” Nathan didn’t want to hinder her, so he asked. “If you’re not busy, I would appreciate that.” She was not prideful enough to reject their offer. “Where’s Akira?” Alex thought the wolf was after Raul earlier. “He’s busy.” Luna glanced to her left and saw the wolf toying with a Lycan. Why is he being playful at this time? She groaned. “Akira, kill.” She gave the order and the wolf reluctantly obeyed. Then, he went to find another. That’s better. Eventually, she realized why he acted the way he did. The werewolves have already defeated plenty of them. The bodies littered the territory. Almo
When Austin and Kyla joined the others, he heard their murmurs. “What happened?” “There were many of them! We got surrounded at one point. Alpha told us we should go. We didn’t realize he didn’t come out with us. It would be bad if they find him and he has no one with him.” One explained in a guilty tone. “Don’t worry about him. It was intentional.” Luna informed them quite calmly. There’s no hint of worry on her expression, simply determination. The others calmed down after hearing it. So, their leader wasn’t captured. Luna approached the girl, who hesitantly hid behind Austin. “Don’t be scared. She’s our Luna Queen, the one I told you about.” “Kyla, it’s nice to meet you.” She went to hold the girl’s hand and took her into one of the vehicles. “The battle is not over yet. Wait here. We’ll take you with us to the castle once this is over.” “Uh, okay.” Kyla timidly replied. “There’s water and food here. Take what you need.” Luna kindly offered and the girl thanked her. Alex
“Here. Let me show you what she looks like.” Luna extended her hand towards Austin, whose eyes widened.“You can do that?”She lightly chuckled. “Yes. Now, come on. It would be a disaster if you get the wrong girl.”“No, I won’t let that happen.” He quickly reached out and his senses were hijacked as soon as their fingers touched.He saw the girl’s face, then the scene zoomed out to show him her clothing and a room. It was etched into his mind.Luna withdrew her hand and asked him, “Do you remember what she looks like?”“Yes. She’s young, isn’t she?” He would say she’s only twenty or something.“Hmm. Your mission is to rescue her and get her to safety. It won’t be easy.”Austin grimaced, recalling the previous reports on the Lycan women they rescued.He sighed, “I’ll do my best. Hey, is that
