The song soon finished, and M was genuinely surprised that he found himself wanting more. He immediately started scolding himself at the thought. Especially since the curvaceous woman had already left the stage, and the enthused Gamma found himself eagerly waiting for her to show herself to him.Not so long after - but to M it seemed like forever - the woman found her way to his booth. Dressed in a simple signature short dress that zipped up in front, a slit in the midsection exposing her small waist, he was relieved to finally see her without any mask.The lovely female sensually sat down opposite him and M found himself hard-kept from gazing into those intense and inviting feline-like upturned blue-violet eyes. Also, it seemed her motions were naturally smooth and sexy, so her movements came with no effort or fakery at all, which secretly pleased him very much.Also, her natural smell was stronger now after her sweat had enhanced it. Flashes of her just-finished performance kept rep
He was not fast enough to notice her hand flying towards his face, giving him a resounding slap. M was shocked still, only realizing what just happened when his cheek was already painfully burning.“Who the hell do you think you are to judge me?” The incensed lady hissed through gritted teeth.M’s manly square and smooth jaw was tightly clenched when he answered her, “I believe you are aware of who I am. I’m your mate, if you choose to believe in that madness!”“And you think that gives you the right to say that to me?”“You knew that from the moment we fought, correct? Why would you call me to see you ‘at work’ if you didn’t want me to see a worse second impression of you?”“Maybe I need to see if you could see through the damn masculine prejudice that seem to come naturally to some high-ranking pack members!” the livid lass continued in a justifiable seething tone. “Maybe it’s to make you aware of how you would blindly judge someone, which is what you’re doing to me now! That’s why
“Hey, Bren, do we have any good news about your boss?” Aaron asked as he entered the Gamma’s hospital suite.Ma’Heron’s red-headed personal assistant rubbed his half-closed grey eyes as he sat up from the couch where he was sleeping. “Not really. He’s been dreaming, and it’s probably the weirdest of dreams, judging by his body’s reactions these past few hours. His blanket tented several times at some point, and then he started mumbling, almost yelling, and then he sat up and threw a punch or two in the air. After that, he seemed to just collapse into another deep sleep. The doctor came and checked on him and assured me that M’s health is still all right, at the very least.”“Damn it, Ma’Heron, you need to be ok for this one. Your mate will need you,” worriedly whispered the Beta under his breath.“Have you guys found out anything about her status, Beta A?” Bren asked.“Yeah, but its anything but good news, I’m afraid. V called the HR Department and asked why Alex’s absence wasn’t rep
“Uh… it might have escaped the details of my report… on both my visits to the Dark Forest and the Ragdoll club.”“The she-wolf who kicked your ass?! You gave a report for both of them and didn’t say that she was your mate, bro! Oh, don’t tell me that your ego was hurt that bad?” V laughed in front of his friend and was accompanied by his wolf Roth and even Lyon.Your Alpha’s right, M. This is about your ego getting all hurt, isn’t it? Teasingly sing-songed his completely ivory wolf with his rough voice in his mind. Shut up, Lyon!What, is that your new catchphrase, now human? You need something more original because, I would have thought that you’d have noticed it by now, but that doesn’t work on me! Ha ha ha!Meanwhile, V saw the Gamma getting more red in anger. Most likely it was because of his own wolf’s exasperating statements. He clapped a large hand on top of one of M’s muscular shoulders…“Anyway, whatever it is that has you so pissed, I believe it’s worth congratulating you
Meanwhile, in the Dark Forest packhouse, the extensive garden was sumptuously adorned. Garlands with white flowers delicately perfumed and wrapped in colorful curly ribbons and translucent lavender bouquet paper are already elegantly decorating the venue. Small lights adorned the slender silk carpeted path for the wedding pair as it signaled the way to the altar where a large arch would frame the bride and groom as they exchanged their vows.These decorative touches seemed to announce that once the woman accepts the man’s engagement proposal, they will be immediately married.The bride-to-be was also being prepared with this idea in mind. Half a dozen omegas walked around and helped her arrange all she would need for the wedding ceremony, from bringing her shoes, preparing her jewelry, arranging her hairstyle, choosing the colors of her makeup, and even with putting on her dress.Speaking of the gown, it was a gorgeous white creation of lace, gauze, and silk. Backless, sleeveless, wi
We are still back in the past, dear readers…“Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome to our celebration, our beloved and respected Alpha, Abner de Jaager, and his guest of honor, Doctor Alexia Van der Meer! Crescent Moon Pack salutes you both!”Ma’Heron paused at his sixth full glass of fine and potent wolf wine just in time to look up to the well-known TV show host - he’s not publicly known as a werewolf - who had just made the announcement and was standing at the top of the winding staircase of the ballroom. And within a few more seconds, his irritated and impatient facial expression was slowly replaced with a surprised and shocked one.The Gamma had now realized that his mate was no “stripper”…The couple in question was standing at the top of the massive marble staircase for the whole party to see. The soon-to-be bride was wearing a silky white dress, gripping her curvaceous body like a tight glove, hugging her large breasts and buxom hips. The plunging neckline that squeezed her de
“A dance, you say? Like the song and dance, you gave me just so I agree to what you wanted? Is that what you mean?” the not-so-sober lawyer slurred in sarcasm.“Please put the bottle away, Ma’Heron. I really do want you to be clearheaded when we do this mission.”“Mission? I think I misunderstood. A mission usually requires the participants to know all pertinent details of the said arrangements before they accept. Or you haven’t watched the Mission Impossible movie franchise yet? Or perhaps that’s how your pack views missions?” slurred M as he now found himself inches away from the woman.He towered over her and he realized that the top of her head reached only up to his smooth square jaw and without her heels, she would probably be only up to his shoulder. However, the height difference didn’t seem to matter to her as she looked up to him with an expression that made him feel that she was as tall as he… Meanwhile, her voice’s tone made him feel smaller than her, and that infuriated
Goddess, he’s gone insane! He’s going to get himself killed!Alexia, along with the whole ballroom full of guests, gasped and reacted accordingly to the livid and fully tipsy lawyer’s announcement. It was indeed a worthy proclamation since it was loud enough to reach even those outside who were cooling themselves off in the balconies and gardens. And it was obvious that the proud challenging Gamma, couldn't care less who heard him.Alex’s father was the first to break the shocked and startled silence among those sitting at their table, “Mate? That’s ridiculous! My daughter has never mentioned one to me, Abner. I swear it.”The younger Alpha sneered before replying. He then took a step nearer his challenger, realizing to his distaste that he was shorter and less athletically built than the man in front of him, “Interesting… Your mate, you say? And a Gamma from a rival pack, no less. That is rich… no, it’s hilarious…”M recognized the look of insecurity that Abner used to measure him fr
He heard his phone buzzing on the bedside table. Carefully, the Silvercrest Gamma reached out towards his vibrating mobile and checked the screen…Hmmm, should I answer or not, Lyon?Looks like someone is missing you like heck already, bro. Damn, it’s just been a day, M. Aha ha ha!Ma’Heron chuckled, the sound a low rumbling in his broad, firmly sculpted chest, as he answered the call, “Yes?”“Happy Anniversary and Happy Valentine’s Ma’Heron. Now, when do you plan to get your ass back here?”M could no longer hold back his laughter at the sound of his Alpha’s slightly tense voice. “I don’t know, V. It really all depends on someone who’s very important to me.”On cue, he felt the naked woman beside him suddenly hugging his nude body tighter. He couldn’t help but stare at the sparkling diamond and ruby ring on his beautiful mate’s finger. M’s small smile had become wider as the memory connected to that very gift began to replay in his mind…* * *“MA’HERON!”“ALEXIA!”At the back of his
Meanwhile, the Gamma and the visiting Alpha, as if in agreement, both started the challenge in their human forms…They began with the usual hand-to-hand combat, and even then, you could feel the viciousness and fury being exchanged by the two men. Both had obviously been well-trained, and their past experiences and present expertise could be seen in their every move and counter.“So, your mate, huh Ma’He? And her pack? Are you happy with what you took from me?” gritted the Alpha, now sporting a bruised and cut cheek.“I took nothing from you. All of it is mine - and hers - since we were born,” M said tonelessly, evading a kick to his face and landing two solid punches on Abner’s chestGasping from the hits, the Crescent Moon leader managed to find his footing, then jumped up into the air, aiming a kick at M’s head while screaming furiously, “She was going to be married TO ME!”M dodged the kick and yelled back, still in this strange monotone, “To someone who didn’t love her!”Wow, it’
Everything was ready now…From the Silvercrest spot on the battlefield, Ma’Heron saw her walking regally beside Abner, head held high, hands to her side, stride as sensuous as ever. Her long, thick, and tousled dark mane perfectly framed her oval-jawed and serious face, making his mate look like a strong, determined amazon who was surrounded by her several male underlings.The only evidence of her brokenness was her puffy eyes; and the darkened, swollen skin underneath them.He also knew that underneath her black dress suit, the same one she wore the day she disappeared from work, he would be seeing more swelling and darkened patches all over her body. His assessment was all based on Myron’s recent report to him and the aches and pains that she tried so hard to hide from him during their linked conversations.Plus, the fact that she was even blanking out the visuals of their link, and he’s left with just a white “screen” when they talked, as if she was editing out images he didn’t wan
“Oh, wait, there he is! You guys just go. I’ll follow you to the car in a minute,” V said to the others.“Are you coming, Luna?” Myron asked, smiling while tightening the straps of his laptop’s backpack.“No, I’ll wait for him here. I’ll just see you downstairs,” Siel offered, as she returned he fellow office worker’s returned his warm and friendly smile with a similar version of her own.From afar, the Luna could see, through the glass wall of the room’s balcony, how her mate approached M. Soon after, the clean-shaven Denar was now hugging the bearded Riegel.There’s just so much a person can take, Elena thought as she watched Vince holding his friend’s sobbing form because there was nothing else her mate could do at the moment. It’s amazing how a man that cold, collected, and calculated can be transformed by finding the one woman who’s meant for him. “Mates” is a term that’s definitely something far above the simple love that we humans are used to feeling. His surrender, his loyalty
The Elders glanced at each other with troubled looks, unable to do anything else at that moment. They all got up from their seats at the same time and prepared to leave. So did Abner, who approached the Silvercrest people with a smile on his face and a hand extended, except for the brooding Gamma whose brawny arms are tightly crossed as he stayed in his seat. However, V took his hand and looked him in the eye as he spoke for everyone in authority in the room, “We’ll see you at the challenge, Abner.”“I can barely wait, Alpha. Damien, Melo, Stephen, and Jenna, it was nice to see you again,” the sardonic visiting Alpha stated as he shook hands with the elders, while obviously ignoring Ma’Heron and dramatically opened the door then exited the room.“Please excuse me a moment,” M mumbled then left the crowd in a rush, trying hard not to show his eagerness at what he was about to do.After stepping out into the meeting room’s balcony, it took him only a few seconds to reach her…Alexia!
The whole room was waiting for a feminine voice to answer the call that Abner was making right then and there. At first, it was hardly believable that he would risk calling his hostage, but when the line didn’t answer they figured out that he had tricked them once again.Abner indeed used Alexia’s number, but it didn’t matter how many times he called her. He was sure there would be no answer since her phone was locked up in his suite’s secret safe.“You see? Too tired to answer,” the lying Alpha stated with finality, his cynical smile twisting his small audience’s stomachs.The elders knew, even before the start of the meeting that there was something very much off with his request. And despite them knowing, they didn’t have much proof to counter the untruthful Alpha’s allegations.Of course, the Silvercrest Gamma will still insist on his demands, and everyone expected that…“She is my mate and was marked by me. And I have her mark as well. If she can’t tell me that she is where she w
It was not old news for the Elders that Abner had continually been finding ways to force his canceled wedding over Alexia’s mate situation. Obviously, his intentions were rather shady in the past, as it was right now. After all, they were present during the dramatically canceled engagement/wedding party of Abner and Alexia three years ago so they were quite aware of this problematic issue.However, what the Elders have personally seen then was true proof that Ma’Heron and Alexia were indeed mates.“Might we ask, why is the Gamma’s mate currently on Crescent Moon premises?” Elder Jenna asked, intently looking at Abner.“Well, it’s very simple. One day, she had just finished her shift here in the same building and was walking to her apartment when we met. She was so pleased to see me that she decided to come with me to my packhouse. Since then, she didn’t want to leave me anymore,” Abner explained as he grinned widely, a perfect copy of the Grinch’s similarly looking grimace.“Is there
On the 165th floor of the Silvercrest Enterprises Tower, from which the whole city could be seen, Siel was still listening to the end of Vince’s story. The last rays of the sun came through the glass wall and painted the other white walls on the sides of the chamber a yellow/crimson hue when Ma’Heron arrived. And with him, was the younger and slimmer Myron.“Hello, Myron! M, it’s nice to see you both again. I wish it was under better circumstances, though.”The Gamma nodded silently and respectfully at the Luna.“Hello, Siel! Wow, your first meeting as part of the pack! Are you nervous?” Myron said cheerily, which is his usual out-of-work personality which he hardly displays within their workplace.“I am, just a little bit… No, I’m actually… very… nervous,” honestly confessed V’s Luna.“Don’t worry, you’ll do great, I’m sure of it,” encouraged the CEO’s boyish-looking personal assistant. “It’s more of an introduction for you, so you don’t need to worry about it much yet. Besides, we’l
Just then, M and Alexia arrived at the packhouse! They immediately joined the fighting without even shifting. They quickly got to V, who was still trying to make his way to Alpha Van der Meer…As soon as Alexia and M took their place by V’s side, the Dark Forest warriors moved away, not wanting to fight her. V saw this as an opportunity for the father and daughter to speak causing him to mindlink his Deltas and give his order of shifting their attention to the other enemy pack. Everyone, let’s lead our enemies away from Alpha Arnout and his daughter! GO! Let’s bring them all to Beta Aaron’s area so we can help him fight off the Crescent Moon pack as well! As V and his werewolves rushed off, the Silvercrest Alpha hoped for the best for his ferociously battling Gamma and his similarly continuously fighting mate …Unfortunately, Alexia’s father was not a forgiving man, even if his daughter had done nothing wrong to him at all.Attack them! Alpha Van der Meer mindlinked to his warriors
