Chapter 10 – Her story

The more he looks at her, the more he wants her. But he kept himself under control. They ate everything his mother prepared, which wasn’t much. Apparently.

After a few hours of light conversation, in which he told her things about the pack, the sun has gotten very hot against their skin. It must be lunch time already.

“Do you want to head back? Or stay a while longer?” Conrad asked her and she contemplated.

“Can we come back here?” She likes this place.

“Of course. Any time you want. It’s not restricted. I can come with you if I’m not busy.”

Alice nodded. “Let’s go back, then.”

She helped in packing the basket and they walked back.

“Do you want me to show you around?” Though he told her what she would find in the pack, it’s not the same as seeing them.

Alice hesitated. “Can I rest for a while?”

He noticed the way she seemed to wince while asking. “Of course. I should’ve known you would be tired. How long has it been since you last had a fun run?”

“Almost a year?”

“Back in your pack?”

“Yes.”

He didn’t like her answer. It made him think of her situation. Could he probe now? They needed information from her, after all.

“Haven’t had the chance to run since you left?”

She shook her head as she pursed her lips.

“You managed to survive for months, though. That’s something. How did you do it?”

Alice sighed. She knew they would ask her these questions, but still…

“Do you want to rest first? I’m sorry if I’m making you remember those unpleasant memories.”

“It’s fine. I know you have to ask.”

Conrad remained silent as they continued to walk.

“My mother… I don’t remember when exactly it started, but she did prepare for me to leave. She was urging me to go, but I didn’t listen to her. She didn’t say anything when I asked why. She explained nothing. And so, I was… I stayed. Who would want to leave their pack? Alone? I don’t want to be a rogue. All that time, I haven’t been able to talk to… the alpha. He hasn’t been home for a few weeks. That’s right. Mother started acting differently after he hasn’t come home for a few days. When he came back…” Alice took a deep breath and stopped walking. It was horrible.

Conrad could feel her pain. He went to take her into his arms as she cried again. Alice found comfort again, something she hasn’t felt in a long while. It’s nice to be near him. To be with him. To be in this place. But could she really stay?

“I’m sorry about what you had to go through.” Conrad doesn’t have the words. He tried to comfort her the way he knows, pressing kisses on her hair and rubbing her back.

Alice wanted to continue telling him what happened. There’s an odd sense of relief that comes from letting it all out. She clung to his arms as she told him the rest.

“He came home growling and almost in his wolf form. He trashed everything within his reach. Mother told me to go and run quickly. She managed to give me the bag she prepared. She’s still the pack’s Luna. She’s strong, but not as strong as the Alpha. She did manage to hold him off as I left. She must’ve put up a good fight, allowing me to stop for a minute and apply the potion she said I should use when I leave. I didn’t exactly saw how she was killed, but I knew enough from what I’ve witnessed that… the alpha was there to kill us. He must’ve learned something. I don’t know if the speculations were true. If it was, then who’s my father? How is it that… he believed I was his daughter all those years, and then it changed in an instant?”

Conrad switched to caressing her hair, not interrupting her.

“Later, when I came across other wolves, they said they heard about what happened in our pack. The Luna was murdered by the Alpha. He changed. He has tendencies to be unreasonable, but when it comes to my mother, he would usually listen to her. She was the one that… she…” Alice couldn’t find the right words and Conrad patiently waited.

“If it wasn’t for her, he would’ve abused the whole pack already. I knew he could be arrogant and merciless, but… with my mother around, he was never like that in front of us. With her gone, I knew the pack would only get worse. What I heard from others, it was as much as I could imagine. He’s really… I won’t ever forgive him.”

Conrad has been in a few battles before, but he hasn’t experienced losing someone very close to him. Pack members that his father is currently responsible for, sure. But he hasn’t felt much from their deaths. He understands it would be different when deaths arise from his own decisions. It was something he would have to go through eventually, but he’s not sure if he’s already prepared for it.

“You’re here now. I would protect you. You would be safe here.” How many times has he told her this since yesterday? It’s starting to sound empty, even to his own ears. How is he going to convince her to stay?

“Alice…” He pushed her back a little so they can see each other in the eyes.

“I know we just met, but we have this bond between us. I hope you can trust me. You’ve experienced a betrayal, I understand that. But I hope you would give me a chance. Give us a chance to be together. You already have my heart. I waited for you for a long time. Now that you’re here, I wouldn’t be able to bear letting you go. So, please… please stay.”

    Alice stared at him straight. She could sense his feelings. He’s nervous. She could feel his sincerity. His words touched her deeply. She badly wanted to believe him, yes. But this morning, didn’t she tell herself that she would leave? Conrad didn’t press her for a reply. He kissed her forehead and they walked back to the house. There were people on the way, but she seemed distracted and not ready to meet anyone so he excused themselves as he escorted her to his room. Well, their room. He left her there after a while, telling her to think about what he said. He needed to see his father. What he learned isn’t much, things they could’ve speculated based on the rumors going around. His father is starting to gather more factual information about Alpha Walter of the Silver Crescent Pack. His past isn’t good. There was a period of time that he seemed tame but now he’s uncontrollable. “We’re going to keep Alice here, right?” Conrad wanted a direct answer from his father and alpha. “Of c

    Conrad spent a long time with his father, the pack leaders and the elders. They’re happy that he has found his mate, but they were also concerned that she’s trouble. Alpha Walter is hunting her. If they keep her in the pack, they would have to battle it out with Silver Crescent. A pack that has a reputation for being ruthless and stronger than most. There were heated arguments about it. It’s practically half and half. At least half were supportive of him, who doesn’t mind her presence, and looking at the situation like a challenge. Maybe it’s time they battle it out with that pesky pack. Yes, Snow Mountain may not be able to handle it on its own, but that’s why they have allies. The neighboring packs would most likely help them out. The other half are either pessimists or cowards. They like their current comfort and didn’t want it to change. Or they simply don’t want to engage in a confrontation with a vicious pack. The rest understand that packs like

    “You’re safer here. I’ve said this many times already, I’m going to protect you. I promise you that.” Alice let him pull her closer to him. She stared into his eyes, searching for something. It’s not as if she’s good at discernment but she could usually tell if someone’s lying. Also, he is her mate. He would surely feel compelled to protect her, keep her safe, and have intimate feelings for her. “Would you really?” She wanted confirmation. She wanted to trust his words but she’s afraid he would let her down. These last few months, what she learned is that she can only rely on herself. “I will. You’re a part of me now. You are my mate. If you get hurt, I would feel your pain and I can’t stand that. Your pain is my pain. Your sadness is mine as well. I will keep you safe and make sure you’re happy in this pack. This is your pack now, just as it is mine.” When she looked like she’s going to cry again, he took her into his arms and hugged her tigh

    She seemed to return to her senses after tasting his blood. Her eyes widened as she froze atop him. What has she done? Seeing her shocked expression, Conrad understood that it was an unconscious reaction on her part. But still… how did she have the urge to mark her own mate? “I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to…” She looked at the mark she made and her gaze darkened. How could she carelessly mark him? Without his consent as well? She feels terrible. He breathed out and held her in place. “It’s fine.” His assurance made her feel even more guilty and he can see that. He caressed her back, trying to make her relaxed. Well, women can technically mark their partners but it was not necessary in mating. What’s required is for the male to mark his mate. “I like it.” That sentence from him was better, relieving her. She sighed as she stared at him with a remorseful expression. After a while, his hand moved from her back towards her arm

    Conrad brought her everywhere he goes. When he can, that is. He introduced her to everyone they meet and it was clear as day that she is his mate. He kept her close and he’s always touching her. He’s either holding her hand or keeping a hand on her back.Every one in the pack is happy for him. Also, they understand that she’s their future Luna. No one dared to be disrespectful. Even when they learned that the previous incident was technically because of her presence, no one dared to voice out their opinion or pin the blame on her.Also, it’s quite a change to see their next Alpha blissfully happy with his mate. He’s a good leader and they mean to support him in everything. His father trained him well.And so, Alice was warmly welcomed by everyone. His family has been wonderful. The members of the pack have been nice to her. No one was hostile.Well, they were actually a few complaints but Conrad and his father made their posi

    After they were done being intimate, Alice kept staring at his face as they lay on the bed together.“You said you’ve waited for me. Did you not have a relationship with another wolf before?” She reached out to caress his jaw.Conrad took her hand and kissed her fingers.“I did not. I’m someone who treats the rules on mates seriously. Here in the pack, we’re teaching the youngsters to be patient and wait for the right time. Of course, not everyone is like that and we can’t force them. Still, we try to emphasize the importance of keeping yourself available for your mate. If you tie yourself to someone else and your mate appears, it would be a difficult situation. Would you choose your mate or the one you decided to have a relationship with? Anyway, rejecting a mate also occurs. It’s the same everywhere. When someone can no longer wait, they usually choose to whom they want to be mated. Not everyone is blessed to fin

    Just when she thought she could live a normal life among her kind and happily with her mate, that’s when everything changed. One night, the pack was attacked. They were woken up from their sleep and Conrad quickly responded with the men, telling her to stay behind. Alice went out to find his mother and the others, but she couldn’t help worrying. “Was it my father?” She asked as Selene as the older woman patted her arm, comforting her. “Hmm, it seems like he brought more wolves than last time.” She could hear the seriousness of the matter from her tone. “I should go…” She kept muttering this phrase over and over, but Conrad’s mother wouldn’t let her. When the injured were brought back for treatment, the Luna left her side to attend to such matters. Alice saw it as her chance to do something, to help, or maybe to run away and lead the enemies off the territory. She couldn’t bear the thought of anyone getting hurt because of her.

  • Begging His Luna   Chapter 18 – Suspicions

    Conrad couldn’t grieve just yet. He has to focus and do what he needs to do. His mother was greatly affected by the death of her mate. He couldn’t ask her for help at the moment. The pain of losing your mate is so great, very few are able to overcome it.His brother was in a similar situation and he confirmed that the girl was supposed to be his mate. They weren’t mated yet, heck they barely met, so the effect on Caleb is still bearable. It’s akin to being rejected. The pain would eventually subside. If he’s lucky, he might have a second chance mate. But for now, he’s not functional.It’s different for their mother, though. Even he is worried. He can only hope that she will be able to push through the sorrow and grief.He tried to be methodical and suppressed his own emotions as he talked to the men of their pack, and gave instructions on what they have to accomplish. They need to restore order and regain security. He hi

    Alice woke up feeling tickled. Her mate was pressing kisses behind her ear and along her neck. She moaned lightly, grasping the arm around her waist. “Good morning.” Conrad slightly got up and pressed a kiss on her lips, eventually sitting on the bed. Ever since Liana came, they were able to relax and rest properly. They were very grateful. The woman was an elite vampire. She was born a vampire, not turned. Her father was an elite, whereas her mother was turned. She was able to explain what’s going on with Ice and assured them that there’s nothing to worry about. The red eyes are apparently due to feeling extreme emotions, mostly irritation. But it can also be due to extreme happiness or sadness. The need for blood would depend on several factors. As a baby, a small amount should suffice. Consuming more blood than necessary is also not recommended. It could get addicting and could prove troublesome. Liana didn’t elaborate but simply mentioned it’s a case most vampires try to avoid. T

    “Give me a moment.” She replied and went to stare at herself in the mirror. Yes, they do have reflections. She took a few deep breaths while organizing the information she has gotten. She’s quite skilled and she knew the woman told her the truth when she asked questions.A new place… but how would she be treated in a place infested with wolves? Their natural enemy? Would it be better than her current situation? She hesitated and bit her lip. She had to play this well to her advantage.She took a few more deep breaths before standing straight and exuding the confidence she normally wears.She got out and the couple were waiting for her. She stood there, sizing them up. The way the woman clings to his side, such affection… she was tempted to sigh.“Then, should we get a table and chat? What would you like to eat?” The place is half-bar, half-restaurant.Liana nodded and gestured for them to lead the way. Caleb scanned her once, not letting his guard down. She rolled her eyes at him. Do

    For a few months, they observed the twin’s growth, especially Ice. He seems fine and wasn’t troublesome. Well, all they do is eat, play and sleep. Cry and poop. That was the cycle. It’s fairly ordinary. Caleb has been coordinating with their members in the city, asking them to help locate a few vampires, preferably females. He’s assuming they would be easier to talk to. Huh. If it’s a male, he could already picture the aggression and the unwillingness to engage in a conversation. Their view on hybrids is similar to wolves, or any other species for that matter. They do not treat them kindly. Some may be indifferent but that’s not the general stance. Lourianne wanted to go with him and he hesitated. “We’ll see. If the person isn’t too dangerous, I will take you. Do you want to visit your parents?” Her eyes lit up. Of course, she does. Caleb chuckled seeing her excitement. “I’ll take you. I’ll let you stay with them for a while if it’s dangerous. If not, you’re with me.” “Great. Than

    “Ah, shit…” Conrad softly cursed. “What is it?” Alice quickly asked him. It was as if he came to know something. “Could he be a full-pledged vampire? They’re normally pale and cold to the touch, right?” To him, it’s better than having a dead son. It doesn’t matter to him, he would accept the child. It’s still his own blood and flesh. The problem would be how other people perceive him. Not to mention, other packs may also have their own opinions. Alice heard him and carefully eyed both babies. They’re easy to distinguish because of it, even though their appearance looks the same at the moment. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. She also understands the possible implications of this birth. “We’ll figure it out later. What’s important is that they’re both here, alive and well. Healthy and safe. And you as well. Aren’t you tired? Rest for a while.” Conrad kissed her cheek before taking the second baby off her and hugging it. He figured the first baby would be better off on

    “So, what happens now?” Alice asked as they watched those men leaving their territory.Conrad glanced at her. He’d been extremely relieved that she stayed and did not have any desire to leave. He’d been worried and every night he would somehow tell her how much he needs her. The first few days, he could tell she still entertained the idea, albeit not seriously. When she began to be productive around the pack, he began to relax and focus on his own responsibilities.“We rebuild the pack. We keep on training. We’ll improve security even more. We’ll be ready for any trouble.” He firmly replied to her, gently squeezing her hand.She audibly sighed as they eyed the forests. It’s not the end. It’s only the beginning. But she hoped to have a few years of peace before any kind of trouble arrives.Caleb and Lourianne wanted a separate home, but not too far from the pack house. It was fine. Not everyone lives in the pack house. It’s more like a headquarters for the Alpha and the other officers.

    They rested but they couldn’t sleep properly. Early in the morning, both of them decided to go out and help with the clean-up and restoration of the territory. Mostly, it’s only the men they saw.Conrad told her to stay close. Along with everyone else, their expressions were solemn as they did their tasks.The men already managed to bury the dead last night. Their Alpha told them to rest as those who rested last night began to rise and show up on the grounds. Caleb also showed up, but his expression was grim. Lourianne was still in hysterics, blaming herself. It was difficult to keep her calm.“Can you accompany her?” He asked Alice but Conrad wanted to beat him up when he heard his request.“The hell are you asking her? You want my mate to break down as well?” He berated through the link.His younger brother grimaced. He hasn’t considered that. All he knew was that since Alice felt the same way before, she might be able to help Lourianne overcome her emotions.Alice noticed their exp

    Conrad wanted to be quick. He doesn’t want to leave Alice for too long. This time, he wanted to be there for her, to be with her as they go through this loss and grieve. But alas, he couldn’t just not do any of his responsibilities as Alpha of the pack. Everyone who needed rest, he told them to take a break. Those who can still move around began the clean-up. They first dealt with their comrades, giving aid to those who are badly injured and in need of medical attention. Priorities. Marco brought Walter’s body deeper into the woods and began digging. They would set him on fire and witness his ruin before burying him. It has to be done. Otherwise, they can’t be sure if he planned some hocus-pocus or if his minions would. After their own were tended to, the rest went to gather the dead bodies. Their fallen members go in one side and the enemies go in another. Sure, they were cruder in handling the bastards’ bodies. There were cries and wailing as family members find their loved ones am

    Conrad wouldn’t waste the opportunity. He knew such an action from Walter wasn’t natural. He could guess Alice has something to do with it.He clamped hard against his neck and ravaged him, tearing his flesh. There was a howl of pain and Alice struck him across the face. He told her to never position herself below an enemy, exposing her neck to vulnerability. He’s proud of how she’s applying the things she learned in real life.But it’s not that easy. Walter resisted and struggled, managing to swipe Alice away with such force that she was pushed back a few feet away. Conrad also persisted and wouldn’t let go of him. He was almost hugging the other wolf, keeping him in place. Alice returned within a minute and attacked his body. She wouldn’t dare hit him on the head, lest Conrad’s bite on him loosens. It became a matter of perseverance. Who would last longer? Who would tire out first? She could tell Conrad is already exhausted. He must have fought others earlier even before this bastar

    Everything suddenly became a blur to her, which is bad. She’s moving on instinct and not truly aware of her surroundings and who she’s attacking. She fiercely growled before stalking behind a tree and calming herself. Both Caleb and Conrad told her how important it is for her to be fully conscious of her every action.Someone dared to sneak up on her and she mercilessly fought back. At this time, her nervousness died down, no longer rushing her and making her impatient. That’s good enough for her. She crouched down, laying low as she surveyed her surroundings again. The wolf within her began to feel agitated the longer they stay still.She began moving, pouncing on an enemy and sinking her fangs on their necks. She clawed at their bodies, striking them repeatedly until they no longer move. Whimpers and growls filled the air. Almost no one in sight is in their human form. This time she moved with purpose, methodically attacking one after another. Only by looking at her red eyes were wo
