The Winter Ball, one of the most significant celebrations of the werewolf world. It was simply a night dedicated to the Moon Goddess. It was a night for everyone – both young and old, wealthy and poor, nobles and peasants – to come together and acknowledge the goodness of their creator over their lives.It was always hosted by different packs on different years. And this year, it was Cresthowl pack that was to host it.Today was the day.…She gave herself in as her tongue battled with his. Their breaths hitched and their hands roamed all over their bodies. They were desperately in need of more of each other.Regan's hand cuped her face, holding her like he owned her. His hand slid downward to her neck. His kisses followed. He issed the nape of her neck, sending shivers skittering down Ivorie's spine.His lips found the special spot on her neck and he patted his lips ever so slightly and kissed it.Ivorie arched her head backwards as a soft moan escaped her lips. Her mouth remained op
“I…I tried to control it, to harmonise…like you taught, bu…but it wouldn't work. I don't know…” Ivorie tried to narrate her experience to Estan, who was seated on a chair in her chambers. She was pacing around with her heart racing frantically against her ribcage.“You need to relax, Luna. We will find out what happened and solve it.” Estan said for the umpteenth time now, still trying to stop her from panicking.Ivorie raked her hand through her hair and sighed heavily. “What if it wants to emerge fully today? What if it happens during the Ball?” She asked, her voice heavy with fear.“Luna,” Estan stood up and faced her, “you need to relax.” He said slowly to make it sink in.Ivorie looked at him and nodded slowly. Estan nodded too and pointed to a chair. Ivorie sat down but her mind was still racing with so many thoughts.Estan poured her a cup of water and handed it to her.“What am I going to do?” She asked, not drinking her water.“We will find a way, just relax.” Estan said and
It was dusk and the annual Winter Ball had drifted to full buzz. The gates of the castle had been thrown open and the halls were filled with merry werewolves – both pack members and non pack members.There were more halls in the castle, halls that were enough to contain the common folks.There was also a special hall designated to the nobles and royals. Of course, it was the most elegant amongst all. With exotic decorative attires and traditional equipment hung around.Estan spotted Regan speaking with some other pack's dignitaries round a table just ahead. He went over the counter to get himself wine.After a few minutes of drinking, he felt a presence right behind him.“Alpha.” He called as he turned around, bowing respectfully.“Where is my Luna?” Regan asked immediately with a look of worry on his face.“Happy Winter Ball to you too.” Estan said sarcastically. “The Luna should be here…” he drawled, gazing around the hall but there was no sign of Ivorie.“She was acting strange dur
Regan held her waist dominantly as he mauled her lips. He used his tongue to part her lips so he could lead himself into her mouth. Their tongues fought each other within their mouths as they swapped saliva passionately. Regan, overwhelmed with love and lust slid his hands down her back until he cupped Ivorie's perky ass. She moaned into his mouth as her pussy clenched. She grinded her crotch against him and her moaning increased. Regan swept her off the ground and held onto her with her ass. Ivorie moaned into his mouth as her hands raked his hair with vigour. She felt herself falling backwards and she prayed she wasn't falling out of a dream. She fell instead on a soft platform. When she opened her eyes, she realised that it was a bed. She gazed at Regan in surprise. “How…” “Shhh…I might have sped all the way to the third floor because of this…” he said huskily and crushed his lips against hers. Ivorie giggled into his mouth as her hand went back to his head and back. The
“Come on, a little farther.” Regan held Ivorie as he helped her towards the forest outside the castle. Her wolf was still persisting to shift and if it weren't for Ivorie's resistance, it would have by now.Regan had quickly thrown random cloaks over themselves and led her out of the room. Using his secret network of tunnels, he had snuck them out of the castle through the back.And now, there they were, in the woods behind the castle, preparing for Ivorie to finally shift.“Reg…Regan…” Ivorie managed to call amidst the sharp jolts of pain that she was experiencing.Regan faced her, worry clearly written all over his face. “You’ll be fine…look at me. You will be fine.” He assured her defiantly.“I…I'm scared…urgh!” Ivorie said before another jolt of pain suddenly spread across her jaw.She fell into Regan's arms and he held her up. “You’ll be fine. I am here.” He told her again, trying to calm her down.She was still whimpering and shuddering, not from fear anymore but from the power
Ivorie was finding it difficult to believe what she had just heard. “Wha…what are you talking about…” she asked in a heavy tone.Regan ran his hand through his hair and sighed in devastation.‘Do not hurt her.’ Boris warned but Regan angrily shut him behind.“Let's return to the castle…”“No, tell what you meant!” Ivorie demanded vehemently.“Okay.” Regan faced her with a grave expression. “I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want the mate-bond.” He declared.Ivorie felt pain tug at her heart. She didn't know why she was reacting to his words this way. She had grown to get used to his harsh words at her. Why was she feeling such immense pain now?“But why…?” She asked, tears brimming her eyelids.“I didn't because…” he sighed, “... because I was selfish. I had a plan to conquer your father's pack and it couldn't work if you were my mate.” He finally divulged.Ivorie's mouth was left agape in dismay. She couldn't believe the words she was hearing at that moment.“And I also did
The Ball was finally nearing its end and Estan was happy he was able to dodge the Duchess throughout the duration. He went back to his brother who was now sitting by the counter, silently sipping from a cup of wine.Estan sighed deeply as he took a seat next to him.“You look like you need a dance.” Nick said with a smirk.Estan scoffed, “I don't think a dance will be enough to alleviate the stress I've gone through tonight.” Estan said as he was given a cup of wine and he drank from it.“Don't beat yourself up, brother. How hard can being a beta possibly be?” Nick asked and Estan turned to him with a look of disbelief.“Oh I'd like to see you try it for a moon and see how you’ll fare.” Estan said challengingly.Nick waved his hand, “I’ll pass. I would rather have other things to become.” he said and gulped down his drink.“What other things?” Estan asked with a raised brow.Nick ignored as his gaze went ahead. “I think it's time to dance with our partners.” He said.Estan looked at t
Night was at its peak and the moon shone at its fullest. The streets of Cresthowl pack were deserted and void of life as everyone had retreated into their homes for the night. The Winter Ball was over, and they would soon return to their regular lives.A carriage rode in the silent night, the sound of its rolling wheels being the only sound at that hour.In the rider’s seat was Nick, yanking the reins of the horse as he rode the carriage.He was seemingly in a lightened mood as he whistled away his favourite tune.He rode through a narrow road for a while, before he finally made a turn to a bushy path.After riding for a while on that path, he was riding the carriage through tall trees and thick shrubs.The moon had been obstructed by the branches and leaves of trees but Nick didn't seem to care as he knew where he was heading to.Soon enough, there was a cottage a distance away that came to his view.He halted the horse about a few meters away from the cottage and jumped off the ride
