“Children, I hope you had a good chat,” said Alpha Matthew, who had just returned from somewhere, as he approached us in a greenhouse overflowing with lilacs. “Daddy, I think you should make a place like this for me too,” Violet said with a smile.“Do you want a greenhouse to play in?” Alpha Matthew asked first.“Mum likes planting flowers too, so I thought it would be fun to play in there,” Violet suggested.Alpha Matthew smiled and turned to me.“Dad, do you think you could make a place like that for me, too?” Violet asked with a hopeful tone in her voice.“Yes, I do believe I should have that made for you, my dear,” Alpha Matthew chuckled. “Did you enjoy meeting Autumn?”“I enjoyed it immensely. I learned a great deal about the vampire world,” Violet replied, smiling.“Why do you smile like that?” I asked, noticing the slight flush that tinted Violet’s cheeks.“Thomas Blanc is the one she fancies,” Autumn informed us.“Thomas Blanc?” I furrowed my brow in confusion.“Ah, my brothe
“Mate, did you hear that? Did a freaking tree branch just drop or what?” Alpha Matthew took a quick peek out the window and was like, “Meh, whatever.”“What’s up? Is there something going on out there?” I asked. “It’s probably nothing. Maybe it’s just some prankster or Theophile looking for something up in the tree,” Alpha Matthew replied. “Ready to take a dip?” “I’ll catch up with you later. I’m still keen on finishing this book.” Alpha Matthew exclaimed, showing me a book with a black and gold cover.“Ooh, that book seems like a really interesting read!” I twinkled. Once I took a shower, I wandered into the kitchen and saw Lavelle creating a delicious-looking apple pie. “Girl, that vanilla powder you added in is freaking irresistible! You’ve got some serious cooking skills, Lavelle,” I beamed and put my hand on her shoulder. “Thank you for your praise. But to be honest, I’m still a newbie in the kitchen. It’s not really my thing, you know? Theophile, on the other hand, is a
“Wait, what? Thomas spilled the beans about our trip to the waterfall?” Violet blurted out.“Thomas again, huh? Do you have a crush on him or something?” I asked Violet, half-jokingly.“Maybe,” she giggled, shrugging her shoulders.I rolled my eyes. “Well, try not to get too excited. We don’t even know if we’re going to the waterfall.”“I was proper chuffed to just wander around and pick those pretty flowers,” Violet said.“I know, and maybe we can do the same around the waterfall. But I’m not sure if we’re even allowed to go there,” I replied.“I proper hope we can though,” Violet said, pursing her lips.“You can go there tomorrow,” Lavelle said. “Oh, thank you, I would absolutely love to have a splash around,” Violet exclaimed with excitement. “But do be careful, dear. There are many wild animals lurking about,” Theophile warned. “Are there any animals scarier than werewolves?” Violet asked curiously. “Of course there are,” Lavelle nodded. “Just make sure to watch yourself, lit
“What’s going on?” Alpha Matthew asked, his eyes full of surprise.I showed him the object and he let out a sigh.“Looks like some kinda meat--““It’s just Halloween decorations,” Alpha Matthew said.“No way, that’s just Halloween decor,” I insisted. “Mum, I think Dad’s right. Look at it, it’s like Uncle Troy’s goat's legs that he’s gonna cook up,” Violet chimed in.“You shouldn’t be making this such a big deal, honey. It’s just a Halloween decoration. Don’t think of something bad,” Alpha Matthew sighed and reached out to me.I exhaled and looked at him. “These past few days have been crazy and not what I expected.”“Oh really? I think you’re just having a lot of negative thoughts. Come on, there’s nothing to be afraid of. This is the best holiday ever,” Alpha Matthew reassured me.“Mum’s just being extra, as usual,” Violet quipped. “I mean, it’s kinda sweet how much she cares about Thomas and all, but like, chill mom,” Autumn added with an exaggerated eye roll. “Like, seriously, A
“He’s Thomas’ friend, mum. His name was Kyle. He took me to enjoy some lotus root and then look at my tongue,” Violet said, then stuck out her tongue. It’s fucking swollen. “Are you okay Violet?” I asked her in concern. “It’s okay, mum. Kyle said it’s normal.” “Violet, I’ve said this a thousand times--“ I was about to complain when Violet raised her hand to prevent me from speaking.“I’m fine, mum. See, I’m not going through anything weird, are you?” Violet insisted. “Alright, whatever you say, Violet. But just so we’re clear, I don’t want you doing any more strange things. Got it? I’m like, totally reiterating my command, okay?” “Sure thing, no biggie,” Violet said. “Awesome, sweetie. Now, please go take a shower and then pack your clothes because we’re gonna head home tomorrow morning.” “Wait, are you, like, serious about leaving tomorrow?” Lavelle was super surprised.“Seriously, my love, we’ve been here for three whole days already. I just know there’s so much waiting for
***“Lavelle, what’s going on?”Lavelle didn’t answer. She handed me a cardboard box.“I got lots of crystals. I’m going to give some of them to you as gifts,” Lavelle says. “W-Wait, why are you giving me all these crystals? I didn’t—” “Don’t worry about it. Consider it a gift for being the one to visit Neo Greenpeace. It’s something I often do for many visitors to Neo Greenpeace,” Lavelle explains. “I can’t believe I accepted that gift,” I mumbled. Theophilus quickly replied, “Whatever. Don’t feel so guilty because we’re used to it.”Alpha Matthew chimed in, “You know, before we got married, I received a lot of crystals.”“From Neo Greenpeace?” I asked.“No, it wasn’t them. I got them from some other packs,” Alpha Matthew continued.I took the box and thanked him again. Terrence had Kylo with him.“What’s the problem?” Alpha Matthew asked.“I strangled that exotic bird,” Kylo replied.“You’re definitely a little psycho,” I whispered.“How could you strangle a bird that was happil
“Who are you? Why are you here?” Hannah asked the stranger.The mysterious man bowed. The strong wind blew his silver hair away.“The moon goddess sent me to protect your family.” He replied hoarsely.“I don’t understand. What are you talking about? What is your business here? Why do you have access to the ethereal hunters?” Alpha Matthew questioned.The mysterious man murmured, “The Moon Goddess can send anything to protect the creatures she has blessed.”The strong wind scattered everything in the room. Violet shuddered as I held her, but within seconds the man vanished into thick white smoke.Violet whispered, “Where did he go?”“Pumpkin, calm down. Nobody’s going to hurt you. We’re all here to protect you.” I reassured Violet.Alpha Matthew tried to find out where the mysterious man had gone.“Did the strange guy just disappear in a puff of smoke?” Hannah slumped to the floor in shock.I went over and helped her to sit on the couch. “Relax, we’ll find out what was going on here.”
“Theo, can I talk to your wife? I’m curious about the history of the Citrine stone she gave me the other day,” I blurted out before Theophile could speak.“Oh, you called me this early in the morning just for that?” he sighed, sounding exasperated.“Hey, this strange stone is emitting smoke,” I complained.“Just wait a moment. She’s out watering her plants,” Theophile replied.“It’s really important. Please...” I pleaded, my voice tinged with desperation.I heard him walking away.“Is Lavelle not there?” Alpha Matthew whispered.“No, she’s busy watering her plants,” I replied with a hint of annoyance.A few minutes later, Lavelle’s voice came through, “Hello there, is someone missing me?”“Ermm... Lavelle, I have to admit I don’t exactly miss you that much, darling. There’s something stranger than missing you,” I sighed.“What’s weighing on your mind, Lauryn, my love?”“Do you remember when Autumn gave me that Citrine stone?” I questioned.“Well, I do remember,” she responded.“What’s
"What on earth are you doing!" I grumbled this time."Oops! I'm sorry, Mum. It seems to be a technical mishap," Violet replied, quickly covering her own mouth in fear.I wiped the greasy cream off my face, which now felt excessively oily due to the explosion. The aroma of curry only made me feel queasier."Are you alright, Mum?" Violet asked, concerned."I'll be fine as long as you stop causing chaos," I growled."I won't cause any more chaos," Violet muttered."Why do you seem more and more like Kylo?" I questioned."Maybe I'm destined to be like him," Violet said before darting away."Hey!""Leave it be, she's going through puberty. She's done a lot in just one week," Alpha Matthew intervened."It's only been five years, and yet everything feels so complicated," I sighed."Indeed, time has a way of presenting us with unforeseen challenges," Alpha Matthew agreed."Seems like our little Violet is becoming quite the character," he added, a hint of amusement in his voice."Yes, indeed.
"How dare you tell me to wake up? Who do you think you are, huh?" I voiced my frustration."Didn't I already mention that I can be sent and play along with human assumptions?" Violet replied."You--""You were sound asleep after basking under the Flower Moon. Don't you know that your energy could go to waste? Get to work and earn your blessings," she grumbled.Suddenly, a firm grip made me wince in pain.I opened my eyes to find Violet biting down on my right arm."What on earth are you doing?" I gritted my teeth."You're so difficult to wake up, Mum," she replied matter-of-factly.I couldn't help but chuckle at her determination. "Well, I should be grateful for your unconventional alarm clock."Violet released her hold, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. "You're welcome, Mum."As I rubbed my arm, a mix of pain and amusement filled my heart. Parenting certainly had its unexpected moments, and Violet's unique ways of rousing me from slumber were a testament to that.With a n
"Grr!" Charlotte growled.It was the first time I had seen Charlotte's wolf form, resembling more of a Himalayan fox."Well, this is quite an entertaining transformation, grr!" Jamien chuckled."Thanks to the brilliant glow of the Flower Moonlight, I feel blessed," Charlotte giggled."GRR!""Who's that?" I asked, bewildered."Perhaps there are other guards undergoing transformations too," Alpha Matthew murmured."It's me, you dolt!""But it sounds like Troy's voice," Alpha Matthew mused."Seems like you're not the brightest wolf either, Matthew. Being a werewolf should make you hear my telepathy," Troy grumbled."Oh! It's a mindlink!" Charlotte squealed.As the realization dawned upon us, we were caught in a blend of astonishment and amusement. The unexpected turn of events added a thrilling twist to the evening, and we couldn't help but embrace the enchantment that surrounded us."Let's enjoy this newfound connection, shall we?" I suggested a mischievous glint in my eyes.Alpha Matth
"I had fun with Violet," Kylo responded."But that's not how you have fun," Kate argued.Kylo lowered his head, seeking our forgiveness. "I'm sorry for causing you trouble this morning. I know everything I did was a big mistake, but believe me, I did it because I wanted you to remember me.""What do you mean, little one?" Alpha Matthew raised an eyebrow."I won't come here again after this because I have to train continuously and think about the future of my Pack," Kylo explained."Are you not going to visit anymore?" Violet interjected. "What about our plans to experiment?""You can experiment on your own, Vio," Kylo replied."I'm too young to experiment without the supervision of someone more experienced," Violet replied."Wait for me until we're both grown up," Kylo confidently answered."But we're werewolves, right?" Violet asked."Well, we are werewolves.""What if we don't meet again after we grow up?" Violet questioned."Don't worry. We will meet again. Let's make a promise in
After the stranger had left, I remained lost in my thoughts for quite some time before finally snapping back to reality and making my way home. As I exited the car, I found Alpha Matthew waiting on the front porch, sipping on a glass of wine that seemed to have materialised from thin air."You look rather sad, my dear. Are you still upset about the roses mishap?" he inquired, his voice filled with concern."Not really. It's just that the car broke down, and it infuriated me. I had to pull over on the side of the road, and luckily, a peculiar stranger was kind enough to help me. If I had called you, I probably would have been stuck in the car for two hours because you never answered your phone," I grumbled, voicing my frustration."Oh, my poor soulmate. But you're alright, aren't you? No unwanted injuries, I hope?" Alpha Matthew set down his glass and proceeded to examine my body, making sure I was unharmed."I experienced a car breakdown, not a robbery," I retorted, rolling my eyes.A
"Why the bloody hell are you here, you little rascal?" Jake bellowed as he yanked the sheep toys out of the swimming pool, clearly annoyed.Alpha Matthew clenched his fists, feeling the anger rise within him, but he bit his tongue, unable to respond.I mumbled to myself, searching for Kylo. "Where in the world is that darn kid?""Mummy! What are you doing over there? Do you fancy a swim on this freezing morning?" Violet shouted as she shuffled over, clutching her milk bottle. "Ouch! Sheep! I want to take a bite!""Violet, have you finished your toast?" I attempted to change the subject, hoping to steer the conversation away from the chaotic scene."I'm all done with my toast, Mum," Violet replied, her tiny voice filled with determination."Then go and put on your school uniform, love. You'll be late if you keep lingering here," I said, gently urging her to move along.As Violet hurried off to get ready for school, I couldn't help but feel a sense of exhaustion. These unexpected encoun
"Where did Judith go? Why didn't she tell us first?" Alpha Matthew asked. "She just picked up Mum and Dad. Nothing suspicious. We're not likely to do anything untoward here." Kylo replied."So, when are you going to replace my favourite flowers?" I interrupted their conversation. "Soon, Madame. I'll discuss it together with Mum. You'll have the pleasure of making Mum's acquaintance. She's a lovely person," Kylo said.I rolled my eyes lazily at this boring topic of conversation. I sighed and quickly approached Dad."Never mind, you better be patient. Kids are so wild sometimes. You have to understand that." Dad mumbled. "I'm always patient, Dad. But sometimes patience has its limits, doesn't it?" I sneered. Dad chuckled and then gently hit my shoulder. "Kylo put the lamb down. Go back home or go rest. Troy willed the lambs at 8," Dad said. "Matthew, it's better to put on your clothes than catch a cold. The air is so cold this morning that it makes anyone shiver." "Right, it's col
“What happened? Why do we need motels all of a sudden?” Judith asked. "Daddy said we need a motel. Shouldn't we be staying at a motel?" Kylo asked. "You don't need a motel, though, and we provided a house especially for guests," Alpha Matthew said. "But we have a lot of members," Kylo said. "Don't worry about it. You know Ethereal Hunters Pack has many members, and it's over 100.000 werewolves,” Mark added. “The room won’t run out because your pack member is too much.” “I don't even understand why my dad told me we need a motel,” Kylo mumbled. “Just tell him that you'd be able to use Ethereal Hunters facilities,” Mark said. “Little Master, I'll reach out to the big master about it,” Judith said. “Well, thanks a bunch, Judith. I appreciate your help,” Kylo mumbled, following Violet to the backyard.“I'm so sorry, Alpha Matthew. I bothered you so much." Judith bowed. "It's okay. Drop it," Alpha Matthew shook his head and raised her glass. We got into a light conversation with
“Ah... It was an invitation for a banquet a day after tomorrow,” Alpha Matthew explained. “How did you know their pack name?” I asked. “Theophile told me they were Scarlet Moon Pack,” Alpha Matthew said. “Interesting, but you never tell me about it," I said. "It's a rush thing, I told you yesterday. Maybe you forgot it," Alpha Matthew said. "Ugh... I have a lot to think about. Maybe I forgot about it," I whispered."Who are you?” Alpha Matthew asked. “Judith.” “Have a seat,” Dad said. Judith sits awkwardly but plays it cool. “Where is your Master?” Alpha Matthew asked. “They'll be here the day before tomorrow. He will be here with Mr Theophile and his wife and a few other packs." "Matthew, why did you hold another banquet after the big banquet?" Dad asked Alpha Matthew. Mark looked so curious but still enjoyed his dinner. A few seconds later, he said, “It's an alliance meeting?” “Yes, it is. Yes, it was a meeting for the alliance." Alpha Matthew confirmed it. "Why are yo
