AMALA
I have no other choice. If I want a higher chance of escape, I should blend in with the crowd.
So I stole some clothes and threw my old, worn ones to the incinerator.
The dress doesn't even look exactly expensive either. The bodice dark blue dress that hugs the curves of my body is a bit short as its skirt reaches at the tip of my knees. I kicked off my old combat navy boots and replaced them with black leather shoes which were conveniently situated next to the dress.
I do hope I won't attract attention, seeing that I just sneakily come out from the lower ground floor.
Fortunately, they are too distracted with the music, the loud chatters and the food they consume that once again, I am lucky enough to roam casually around.
The place I am in now is the function room of the Diamond Hotel. I recognize the familiar faces of affluent families from the human side. These are those who benefit the wolves and remain wealthy as long as they provide what the wolves want.
Yet, this is the first time I'm seeing the two races blend together in one place, enjoying without a sound of prejudice.
No, I don't have time to dawdle, I need to leave quietly.
However, when I pass by the buffet table, my stomach grumbles as my eyes glue at the sight of fancy food I will never get in a lifetime.
And next to it, as I can't help my lips curved into a smile, is filled with more berries. Is today a berry festival for these wolves?
"Excuse me," one of the staff of the hotel approaches me with a clear skeptical look in his eyes. "Do you mind showing us your ID as your proof of identification?"
Oh, crap. I spoke too soon that I would be safe from their suspicions.
I turn to them as I give my most dazzling smile.
"Do you ask this to every human in the vicinity, young gents?"
The two exchange looks. "Err…we are asking because we haven't seen you before."
"Oh my," I say with exaggeration as I give a dramatic gasp. Then give them a glare. "How could you not know that I, Audrey Hepburn, a world renowned thespian of stage plays, huh?"
"Ma'am, your name isn't in the list."
"Then, shall I ask the Alpha, Richard Bates, to come here for confirmation, hm?" I smirk. "I happen to know him personally and I’m well acquainted with the Alpha. I am sure he wouldn't mind meeting you, gents and having a "private" talk."
They both flinch at the mention of Amy's biological dad. He's notoriously known around the human district for being too cruel to humans like us.
"I'm s-sorry, ma'am. W-we thought—'' his face turns red with embarrassment. "If you excuse us."
And the staff members scurry away, leaving me alone as I continue acting haughty and entitled and give a loud harumph.
Not going to lie, it was a whim that I pulled through this act and I am proud of my performance.
Now, I can't go out until I am completely off the radar of the guests here. I sigh as my eyes wander back to the buffet table and I feel like I am salivating.
M-maybe I will stay here a bit and I can sneak some food down to my bag. I’m sure they won’t notice a thing. Amy will be delighted to have these luxurious food for dinner.
As I slowly gather my food and give those who are staring at me with my smile, I am thinking everything will be fine.
I will be back home safe before I know it.
"Welcome to the Red Moon Celebration," a young beautiful woman catches our attention at the stage. "As it is nearly midnight, I would like to thank all of you for attending this event."
The guests applaud afterwards and while their attention is on that emcee, I immediately grab some turkey meat and put them inside my bag.
"We will also thank our Alpha and Luna of the Greymound Pack for sponsoring this event."
More applause and cheers.
Good, good. I can't help but hum to my content to get more food. All of these will be all in my bag and if only I have a container, I can bring that pasta.
"To the fortunate humans who are chosen to be here, witness your first Red Moon celebration with us." She chuckles. "Of course, you humans can't see it but oh well, be thankful that you are all here with us tonight.”
I roll my eyes. Like I give a damn.
"Now that it is only a minute before the Red Moon, let the celebration begin!"
Well, go ahead and enjoy your time, wolves. Don't mind me gathering more food but as I give a sideways glance to look at the female emcee, my hand nearly drops the chicken meat as I am taken aback from what I’ve just seen.
The female emcee strips herself naked in front of the audience as her red, glittery night dress drops on the floor. Her breasts and her bare womanhood are exposed for everyone to see.
"W-what the–?" I gasp.
Not long after, the wolves all strip themselves naked while the remaining people are at awe at their beauty.
Hot bodies glisten with sweat and I blush at the sight of multiple hardened dicks from male wolves as they look like they’re ready to pounce.
When the dark misty clouds slowly dissipate and reveal a huge full moon, the wolves' eyes turn red before tackling each other with a searing kiss.
Next to me the male wolf slams his female mate against the buffet table as platters of food shatter on the floor. I flinch as two hottest people I've seen in my life are making out next to the pasta chafing dish as his dick positions on her hole before giving one powerful thrust.
"AAAAAAAAH!”
The woman gives a euphoric scream that I give a frightful shriek. But my own scream is being muffled by the moans and grunts of the whole function room.
The aroma of sex is filled in the air as I am beyond shocked and repulsed by the sight of public indecency.
I was expecting them to dance or drink some kind of fancy wine, not some damn orgy!
So, this is what the Red Moon is about? To fuck at midnight until dawn? Wolves are indeed disgusting creatures!
'I need to get outta here!' I take my bag and am ready to leave but a large hand grabs my wrist.
I shiver, fear strikes me as I slowly turn around.
One of the wolves with red eyes staring lustfully at me.
"Where do you think you're going, human?"
"Let go of me!"
What should I do? He won’t budge even if I use all of my strength to pull myself away. Yet, the wolf only laughs at my futile attempt.
“Get off of her.”
Like a strong force, a hand pushes the wolf away from me with one hand and I clumsily fall against a strong body, pressing my back against his firm one. As cliche as it sounds, it makes me feel protected by the touch of my back on his.
When I turn to face him, my eyes widen as I regret calling him my protector.
Eyes glimmer crimson red similar to the wolves lusting for a mate.
SETH I have been desperately searching for my mate. When I received my wolf, the moon goddess came to my dream telling me that my mate isn’t within my pack. So I’ve searched far and wide. From packs from different continents and I still haven’t found her till now. Perhaps she hasn’t been born yet? But it’s been TWELVE-BLOODY-YEARS! It’s unheard of an Alpha of the pack to rule without a mate. My wolf whimpers after hearing my thoughts as I assure it that I haven’t given up yet…not until the end of the Red Moon Ceremony. “Alpha Seth, call me when you need me in case of an emergency.” Finrel, my most trusted Beta, bows as he heads out. Conscientious as usual, he makes sure that I’ve been given more privacy for my “current” Luna.” The Red Moon Ceremony has begun and as usual, the wolves are influenced by the Red Moon's magic and their lust for their mates heightened. This is the last place I haven't been to in my search for my fated mate. If she isn’t here, this will be the last st
AMALAShock enters my mind as I remain frozen stiff when I feel this stranger’s lips snatched mine. Confusion comes after when I slowly process what is going on.When I feel his soft lips, I am almost in complete surrender, allowing all the tension of my body released at his mercy.This man—no, this werewolf—kisses me and I…allow it. He doesn’t stop as his hand snakes around my nape and pulls me in as he deepens the kiss.My eyes widen from his warmth as his experienced lips devouring mine gives me a foreign heat that is about to be released. "Hng!"I gasp out a moan and this gives him the opportunity to slide his tongue inside and relish his time exploring, enticing my tongue as he focuses playing around the sensitive spots. When I keep releasing throaty mewls, it only encourages him to deepen this French kiss. Ah, fuck it. I give up. I return the kiss, fighting for dominance and I feel the faint delight hearing him groan from my inexperience.But he refuses to cave in. His teeth
AMALA“Ah…nn…ahn…” A lewd throaty voice escapes from my lips as my tongue sticks out for him to devour with his. Slurping sounds of our tongues tangled in a messy dance, echo the whole VIP room as both of his hands are now fondling my clothed breasts.I used to hate it when I experienced this the first time as a teenager but now, with his heated touch, my body screams for more. Once again, his kiss, his touch and the knee purposefully pressing on my crotch make me oddly wanton to go further.Then, his lips part from mine, leaving a trail of saliva before it breaks as his mouth kisses through my cheek, the fine lines of my chin until it trails down to my neck as he quickly finds my sensitive spot."Ah!"He later continues abusing that spot as he pinches my clothed nipple hard. It should hurt as tears streaming from my eyes from the way he aggressively abused my perky tits. He latches the front zipper of my stolen dress and pulls it down until it ends on my navel as his hands pry th
AMALAI finally arrived home at exactly 3AM. I sigh as my whole body feels so tired from the events happening today.From being chased by loan sharks, hiding inside a barrel, till being assaulted by a horny wolf–I am incredibly lucky that I managed to return home after all of these.What's more I have brought lots of fancy hotel food. Although they are mixed together in my bag, I am sure with a little reheating will do the trick.After all, beggars can't be choosers especially in a life like this.The room Amy and I rented is a basement of a run-down factory. The owner is a friend of my troupe director so even if the room is too small for two, it is better than nothing.When I head to the basement bulkhead, the door bursts open and a small figure tackles my legs."Amala!" "Amy?" My eyes blink in surprise. "Why are you still awake at three in the morning?" I kneel down to be on her eye level."Waiting for you!" She squeals as she gives me a hug. "You know that I sometimes have to wor
SETH"I will dispatch the entire wolves and search for her, Alpha!" He bellows. "That human disrespects you as the Supreme Alpha of Twilight Hound City! We will conduct a public execution as a reminder to her kind!""You can't, Finrel."Startled, he asks, "Why, Alpha? That woman dared to strike you when you were under the influence of the Red Moon."I shrug as my jaw tightens. "Apparently she's my fated mate.""What?!" Today, Finrel is acting less than his usual calm, somber demeanor that his voice is octave higher than before. "That can't be, Master Greymound. That woman is human! N-no Alpha has ever marked or accepted a human as their mate before.""Besides, do you know what she did to the guard outside? She left him half-naked and lying unconscious on the floor.""She–what?!" My eyes widen. "That means that human changed clothes to avoid locating her scent." She is smart, I give her credit for that. "Are you sure she is your fated mate, sir? If you don't mind me asking."I clenc
AMALA“Hng…Mhmm…” I groan as I am surrounded by heat as strong warm hands roam around my soft, tanned skin. I realize that I’m in bed and I am shamelessly naked and inviting the cool breeze on my heated flesh that I shiver. Yet, my body trembles for a different reason. And I can’t even move my body while large, manly hands continue to tease me, caressing more on my waist.What’s going on?I attempt to open my eyes but fail as they get heavier on each attempt. Right now, my body is experiencing a foreign sense of euphoria just by someone else’s touch.Pants and moans have gone louder as my body is being pinned to my bed by an unknown weight.A weight I recognize to be a man. His strong, large hands stop closer to my bare chest, not moving a single bit before his fingertips trail around the pink buds in a circular motion. He does it so frustratingly slow, without flicking my tits. His endless teasing is without a doubt intentional as I keep squirming around. If only I could move,
AMALAThe sound of my alarm clock rings from my phone and I am awakened from that strange dream. I jolt up as my eyes scan to see I am back in my cramped apartment. Amy is sleeping next to me as her lips curve into a soft smile, indicating that she probably has a good dream right now.Unlike mine.I slowly get up from the mattress as I head to the sink and wash my face. As I look at my reflection in the mirror, I see my cheeks incredibly red. My fingers reach to touch my parted lips and the kiss and the touches he gave me felt so real.Yet, he said so many cheesy words that I feel like I've mixed his words from movies I've watched.It's been a week since I've last seen him. And as much as I want to forget about that wolf, there are occasions that my mind wanders off recalling his voice.Am I attracted to him? I wouldn't deny he is a very handsome man. Am I attracted in a way I want to date him? No, of course not. Ever since I've given up my acting dream, I exhaust myself in gettin
AMALAMy body feels a strange heat each time we touch but I am too stunned and scared to care.He hasn't released me yet as his arms tighten his embrace as his nose is pressed on my hair as he inhales. Is h-he sniffing me?"You can't hide me for too long. I can still remember your scent and your touch." "I can also smell your arousal for me, human."My cheeks turn red yet I haven't said a word. He releases me a bit but he grabs my wrist as he pulls me out, exposing me for the other wolf and the loan sharks."H-hey!" I half-yell and half-whisper him. But what's the point?Eyes are now turning to our direction as I gulp. A strange feeling of dread comes to the pit of my stomach when I look at the sinister eyes of the loan sharks.Mr. Berns' eyes widen in shock as his jaw drops. We exchange looks and I mouth him "Amy". His finger points down before hiding his hands at his back as soon as the wolf stares at him."Well, well, well! Look do we have here!" One of the loan sharks laughs as
AMALAMy cheeks turned bright red after being caught not only eavesdropping on other wolves but also checking him out like he was some kind of rare fine specimen.That is, he is truly a sight to see.Yet, he doesn’t beat around the bush as he says, “I’m Damien, one of the Omegas here, it is an honor to be graced by your presence, Future Luna.""O-omega?" Startled, I examine him once more. "Are you sure you are an Omega?"According to my lessons, wolves' rank and prestige define their looks…well, mostly about their beauty. So, it is hard to believe with those looks, he should be more of an Alpha!"Ah, I get that a lot but I was born from a normal omega gardener and a female human. That's where I got her looks from. You heard them calling me a hybrid, right?""Ah…right." The heat on my cheeks hasn't faded away as I keep embarrassing myself to this stranger. "My name is Amala Gaines, soon-to-be Luna. Err…Shouldn't be here? I mean this place is off-limits.""Oh, that?" He chuckles and the
AMALAOnce I’ve introduced myself to almost every important member of the Greymound pack, I head outside and head straight to the rose garden next to the hotel. Seth is stuck with wolves sucking up to him with their flowery compliments and I feel like his lip twitch from the unnerving swarming wolves near in his personal bubble.Well, it is perfect timing for me to sneak away from the attention so I can take a huge breather.Once I reach the rose garden, I'm awed at the sight of the scenery. The large moon above becomes a beacon of light to the abandoned rose garden, giving a natural lighting to the sight of the dark red roses.It’s conveniently abandoned in huge contrast to the Avenue square where everyone is partying. I can still hear the chatter from a distance. As I step inside and continue looking around, giving an appreciative view on this place. It’s like I’m Alice in Wonderland, curious and eager in a new world.Krieg’s words suddenly come to my mind and I regret thinking abo
AMALAJust like that, everyone is having a huge feast, drinking together in the finest wine. Forget the animosity they had earlier, the ambience changed from somber to joy when Finrel offered food and drinks to every attendee. Once they were busying themselves with food and liquor, the female omegas brought me to the room at a nearby luxurious hotel. "The Alpha wants you to wear this dress, Future Luna," says one of the women. Before me lies a long rose gold overskirt dress which reaches until the floor. On its dummy, I can see a matching color of the rhinestone crystal headband. "Beautiful." A word slips through my lips as I am mesmerized by the beauty of this dress.Not even once have I seen human girls wearing this fancy get-up in a lifetime. This truly defines how far our statuses are between wolf and human."Hello, Future Luna, I will be handling your hair and my assistants for your make-up." Another female wolf enters the room who looks like she's in her mid-40s. "S-sure.
AMALA= The Announcement Day = The moon hangs low in the dark violet sky, casting a silver glow over the Square Avenue—the center of the main city where all the wolves of the Greymound pack have been gathered for this important event.Or more likely they are unwilling to, seeing their begrudging looks when their eyes center on me, the “star” of this evening.But I’m not surprised with those stares: I would be damned to see an inferior being ruling over them if I were in their shoes. So, I have already braced myself for this coming day. Now, standing at the center of the square where the podium is, despite my readiness of this prejudice, I can still feel the shiver running down my spine for this momentous announcement.I still keep my poker face yet within my thoughts, I am beyond agitated because all I want is to get over this and be done with all of these werewolf bull crap.I glance at Seth who hasn’t spoken to me even once and I silently hope my “impatience” can reach his strong
AMALA Finrel gives a rare expression of his bewilderment. "What? There's n-no way that I–" "Whatever excuses you say, your voice and your expression give away," I continue as I gulp juice. "By the way, is this natural pulp orange? We don't have that there at the border."He shakes his head. "H-how did you know?" His mind is still focused on the part when I caught him in the act."I was a thespian before I started hustling for money. Observing people is fundamental for the Stanislavski method.""Stanis–what?" He continues shaking his head. "Never mind. I don't need to know."He stands up as he starts pacing back and forth. "So, is it because I was too obvious? What should I do?""Calm down, Finrel." I pat his shoulder. "You are consistent in keeping that poker face of yours, Finrel. You don't have to worry about being caught. I mean…why are you worried especially now that Marie is single?"He sighs, returns to his seat as he plops back there. His back bends awkwardly as his large ha
AMALAIt's been three days since I've agreed to do the training. As long as Finrel is physically present to prevent Marie from sabotaging the preparation, I can continue doing this without any worries.However…“Splendid, Amala! You did great!” Marie fakes her applause after I demonstrate the perfect kneel. According to them, this kneel is essential the moment the Alpha will make a declaration for the whole pack to hear.If anything, the pose is easy for me, given my street performing background.At the corner of the room, Finrel looks amused after witnessing my pose but seeing that he has been quiet the entire time, he decides to continue observing us from the sideline.At the back of my mind, I hope he won’t sneak out while we’re doing this. Because I see that Marie is behaving well today.Surprisingly so."Is that all I need to do during the ceremony?" I ask while wiping the sweat from my
FINRELIf there is one word to describe my mood, It's irritation.My feet nearly stomp-march their way back to the living room and stop as soon as I see Seth knotting a red tie around his neck while facing the mirror.He glances sideways after acknowledging my presence."Have you at least told Amala for this Friday?""Yes, sir." I clear my throat as I don't like giving out more bad news to the Alpha. "But just as the former Luna said, Miss Gaines doesn't fully take her new role seriously."He turns to me and his nostrils twitch as my emotions are unveiled from my scent."You reek of anger, Finrel."I should say the same thing to you, I thought.Yet, I won't dare to answer. Our earlier interaction won't have an impact if I contradict myself now.Let's say, I am beyond infuriated but at the same time respected the human who doesn't want to let fear overtake her by the sight of Seth Grey
AMALA"Miss Gaines, open the door.""Go away, Finrel!" I bellow as I wrap my arms around Amy. Her eyes peek through my arms with utmost curiosity. "If it is about your Alpha, I don't want to talk about it!""But you're being unreasonable.""Unreasonable?" I scoff as I glare at the door where Finrel is standing outside. "Tell Seth he was the unreasonable one for lying!"“The Alpha is just…he—” He stumbles a bit.“Even you can’t defend him this time, Finrel!”A loud sigh is heard from the other side as he says, "I just want to let you know that the Alpha will make a formal introduction of you as his new Luna to the pack. If you are going to stay here longer, I would advise that you should be at least physically present in order to be taken seriously."What? I couldn't believe what I heard! I let go of Amy, who is confused with the events happening today and head to the door.
SETH“AMALA! GET BACK HERE!” I roar out loud, hoping her retreating figure will flinch and return. But it only encourages her to run as far away from me. I sigh as I return back to the room and slump on my chair. "Is something wrong with Miss Gaines, sir?” Finrel asks with caution and I don’t blame him. As my blood boiled from the earlier events and anyone could sense it a mile away. I swiftly glare at him and he flinches, yet he still enters the room. "I don't understand humans," I reply despite my frustration as my hand runs around my tousled dark hair. “Forget it. So, what did you say earlier, Finrel?” "Ah, right. Mr. Bates has called to meet you later, sir."I sigh. I am not in the mood to see him. "Is it still about his illegitimate child?" "He said it is business-related." It better be about business, Richard, I thought to myself. "I'll see him later in my office.""Understood."He swiftly turns back to leave the room but a thought suddenly comes to him, he stops his tr
