“Where did he go, dear?” Dad asked me.“I don’t know, dad,” I replied absentmindedly, as I truly had no idea where Alpha Matthew went after instructing us to stay home.It had been two hours since he left. Suddenly, as we all waited anxiously, the doorbell rang. Mark ran to open the door. “Am I interrupting?” I was sure it was Troy’s voice. “Come in, it’s dangerous out there,” muttered Mark. They entered and approached us.“Hey, I’ve noticed that the snow has suddenly started falling,” Troy said.“That’s right, it’s snowing all of a sudden. Is there a problem?” Dad nodded.“To be honest, there have been many problems lately,” Troy said while shaking off the snow from his cloak.He then showed the withered and bluish plants without any reason.“Ever since you captured Holly and those rats, all the vegetables in our field have turned out like this,” Troy explained.“Is everything destroyed without any apparent reason?” Mark asked.“Exactly, it’s all ruined without any clear cause. W
“Make her a hot drink first,” Alpha Matthew asserted in a hushed tone.I offered a warm drink to the unexpected visitor.After giving the girl some tea, Alpha Matthew asked, “Which school do you attend, Everly? And why did you get lost here? This is the outermost part of the Academy.”“Um… I took the most direct route through the forest,” she murmured.“Strange. Do you remember where your home is?” Hannah asked.Mark was listening in on our conversation.“Are you being honest with your testimony?” I asked, feeling suspicious. “Guards outside, won't they understand?”“Mate, calm down. Don’t be so rough with the kids,” Alpha Matthew whispered.“Actually, she’s not a child,” I snapped.“Be gentle, can’t have it both ways, can we?” Alpha Matthew rose from his seat.Dad and Mum, who heard the commotion, woke up and came over to us.“What’s happening? Why are you still awake at this late hour?” Dad inquired.“There’s a mysterious girl who strayed all the way here, Dad.” I replied.Dad glanc
“Have you discovered an alternate route?”“Not yet,” Alpha Matthew chimed in.I didn’t take a shower, but immediately followed Alpha Matthew to meet the guest who had come to the house that morning.Meanwhile, I noticed that Everly remained in the house. She was assisting Hannah with watering the roses I had planted in the side yard.“Well, it seems you’ll need to experiment with a few methods. We attempted to use Kyle’s blood before, but it only yielded partial success.” Murmured the man with pale skin.“Is Kyle your son?” Alpha Matthew asked.“Yes. He’s our son,” his beautiful wife whispered.I assumed she hailed from the Elven realm from her striking silver locks.“Oh yes. What prompted you to discover that Holly instigated the riot here?” the man inquired.“I already told you, Theophile. My wife possesses the acute instincts of a female werewolf.”“Every woman possesses stronger instincts than a man,” Theophile chuckled and flashed a smile“We were grateful when you caught Holly,”
Gasping for breath, I looked up to see Alpha Matthew standing before me.“Have you locked up Everly? Have you treated Hannah’s wounds?” I asked urgently.Alpha Matthew looked at me in confusion. “Was Hannah injured?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.“Yes, Everly bit her when you and Theophile went to look for that magic dust,” I explained.Alpha Matthew chuckled and then rubbed my head affectionately. “Everly never hurt someone. You’re just having a bad dream,” he said.“But I was sure of what I said,” I insisted.“Mate, you’re just having a nightmare. Everly never bit Hannah at all,” Alpha Matthew reassured me.A furrow formed on my forehead as I struggled to shake off the lingering feeling of awkwardness.Could it be a dream? If it were, why did it feel so vividly real?My neck still tingled with numbness from the sensation of strangulation that I just experienced.“Why do you suspect Everly so much, and how did you even know we were going to look for magic dust?” Alpha Matthew’s pierc
“Lauryn, what’s up?” Lavelle called out with a grin.“Not much, just hanging,” I replied.“I missed you yesterday. Want to catch up real quick?” she asked.“Sure thing. What’s the topic of discussion?” I asked, curious.“Something juicy for the future,” Lavelle teased.“Ooh, now you’ve got me intrigued,” I said with a smirk.“Hey, what are you guys talking about?” Alpha Matthew chimed in.“Just some top secret stuff,” Lavelle said with a wink.“Count me in,” Alpha Matthew said, eager to join in on the fun.“Yo, let ‘em gossip. Let’s go chat with your dude,” Theophile said to Alpha Matthew.“Uh, that’s my right-hand man, man,” Alpha Matthew grumbled.Then they dipped, leaving me and Lavelle behind in the cemetery.“Alright, what’s the big news?” I asked as Lavelle whipped something out of her pocket and shoved it into my hand.“What’s this thingamajig?” I questioned.“Lav, what’s this magic dust you’re talking about?” I asked, intrigued.“It’s the stuff that can dissolve Holly’s body,
“What’s up?” I asked nervously.“Looks like Randy’s throwing another fit. He’s been going crazy lately,” the prof whispered. “Does the big bad Alpha have a bit of a temper, huh? Does he like to smash things?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.Alpha Matthew tightened his grip on my arm, but I could see a hint of amusement in his eyes.The Professor let out a deep sigh. “Luna Lauryn, he’s not himself at the moment. I believe he needs time to heal, and sometimes, venting his emotions through rage is how he copes.”The Professor swung the door wide open. And there we found Randy struggling to pry open a shiny silver cage. “Growl!” he snarled at us. “Yo buddy, chow time!” The Professor poured some liquid into a bowl and presented it to Randy. But the sensitive creature wasn’t having it, and he started clawing at the Professor’s arm.“Randy, seriously? Not cool,” I said, trying to contain my irritation. “Don’t worry, I’ll patch myself up first,” the professor replied calmly. “But--“ “List
“You’re still up?” I inquired, noticing Alpha Matthew standing by the pool gazing at the full round moon.“Why are you not asleep yet?” He questioned.“I wasn’t feeling sleepy until you got back,” I replied.“Aww, you missed me,” He teased with a grin.“I kinda find it weird sleeping alone,” I whispered, feeling a bit embarrassed. A grin spread across his face as he teased me, “Don’t tell me you actually miss me?” I rolled my eyes and replied, “Well, I guess I’m not exactly normal, am I?”“Ha! Can’t even hide your blush when you’re feeling embarrassed,” chuckled Alpha Matthew, as we made our way to sit in the gazebo.“Damn, mate. You could see that on a dim night like this?” I pursed my lips, feeling slightly self-conscious.“Well, I’m a werewolf, after all. We’re supposed to have exceptional night vision,” Alpha Matthew responded with a grin.I gave a shrug, not really sure how to respond. “You know, you’re kinda cute when you get caught like this,” Alpha Matthew chuckled. I roll
Alpha Matthew asked, “Are you happy?” With a smile, I replied, “Absolutely! Who wouldn’t thrill at the chance to become a Luna to an Alpha like you? It’s like being destined for greatness.”I took a sip of the Rose Wine that Alpha Matthew handed me, enjoying the crisp morning air. It was moments like these that made me forget about all the stresses of being an Alpha’s mate.“You know, we should do this more often,” I said with a grin. “Just sit, relax, and enjoy some wine together.”Alpha Matthew nodded in agreement. “You’re right. We deserve some downtime after all the hard work we put in for the pack.”I smiled, feeling grateful for the understanding and supportive partner that I had. “And you know what? I think we should start planning a holiday, too.”Alpha Matthew raised his glass in agreement. “Now that sounds like a great idea.”“Which holiday do you want?” He asked, glancing at me a little.“I don’t really have a choice.” I tell him.“Oh, my God. Do I have to take you around
