His gorgeous blues, identical to that of Erdem’s stared into mine as he bowed his head and lifted my hand to his lips. “I am Anxo.” He said as his lips brushed over my knuckles.His looks and his actions could easily knock anyone off their feet. He could make anyone fall to his feet and beg to have his slightest attention. But he wasn’t here to pursue me. It might look like so from others’ perspectives, but I knew, he wasn’t here to pursue me. His actions spoke something, but his eyes told something else.“And may I have the honour to know such fair maiden’s name?” I never had the honour to be in presence of a regal or noble but if you told me he was our prince or king, I would believe you blindly.I snatched my hand from his grip and closed my agape mouth. I composed myself and bowed my head.“I am Nesta. Thank you for your kind assistance and I apologize for bothering you. Please enjoy your evening.” I raised my head, and he stared at me, amused?“Are you always this formal?” He as
As the Luna and Beta females gathered around the bonfire and circled it, slowly swaying their bodies to the rhythm of the drums, traditional melodies began to play. The females ramped up the tempo as they swayed their hips and waved their hands in sync, circling the fire, to the beat of the drums. wolves surrounding them slowly started clapping. Soon, everyone was in sync as they danced to greet the moon. The dance was a tradition of our lands. This dance was one of the few things that the packs in this region had in common. This ceremonial dance is very crucial in bringing the wolves closer.Just at the opposite side of the fire, stood Alpha Erdem. His blazing blues stared so intently at his Luna. His eyes followed her every move. The love and hunger in his eyes were so visible that even in this distance, I could see that crystal clear. I closed my eyes and looked up at the sky. The stars were like a choir in the serenade of the black; they were like lights that spook in limitless pa
“-and he was stupid enough to believe that?” I asked in disbelief and Corvina nodded her head stifling her laugh.“Yes! Nikola even surprised me. He said, ‘I will not return until I find the Mūrkharuberry.’ I stood there dumbfounded as he ran off. I tried to stop him, but he was long gone. And you won’t believe he didn’t return for two weeks! And when he finally returned, he had a pout as he complained about how he looked through every wood, forest, and mountain only to be told by a mad sage that Mūrkharuberry is not real and meant fools’ berry. And it is common a phrase in Kannadigas.” Corvina and I burst out laughing as she concluded her tale.“I suppose love really makes people fools,” I remarked as I laughed, and she nodded her head.“This reminds me, we females will be baking the day after tomorrow. Come by at noon. Don’t be late.” “Baking? What’s the occasion?” I asked surprised and she shrugged.“We hold these baking, cooking and gossip sessions every now and then. And you are
A moment passed that felt like an eternity, but I didn’t feel the beast near me. My wolf snarled and growled trying to tear through my barrier. But I was way too weak and afraid to shift. I heard the beast snorting. But I never heard any beast snort like that. I lifted my hands and peeked over the shield of my hands.“A horse!” I exclaimed in surprise as the black horse tilted his head. Wait! I recognise this horse! I stood up slowly and the horse stared at me with curious eyes. “What are you doing here?” I asked in a shaky voice as the horse snorted again, blowing air through his nostrils. My wolf sat down on her hind legs and tilted her head staring at the horse with curiosity. “Are you lost?” I asked again as I lifted my hand and took a step back. But perhaps he didn’t like it and took a step back grunting. I don’t think I want to upset him. He could squash me just by stepping on me with one leg. I stopped and lifted my hands up. And the horse stopped as well.“You shouldn’t be h
“Oh goodness! You are here!” Corvina exclaimed as she greeted me with a huge smile. I stepped inside the packhouse, and Corvina came forward to greet me with a hug.“I didn’t have any other choice.” I sighed, “I cannot afford to get on the Beta female’s bad side, now can I!” I joked and Corvina gave me a stern look.“You brought flowers!” Corvina exclaimed noticing the basket of flowers I was carrying. I nodded and she excitedly exclaimed, “They will be perfect for some centrepieces.” “Or for desserts!” I suggested and her eyes brightened. “Yes!”“Let’s go inside, others are waiting.” She said as she ushered me inside towards the kitchen.As I followed her, I sighed heavily. I'd give anything to just go return to bed and sleep. My morning sickness was absolutely awful, as it had been the previous few days. I spent the night before in my bathroom. It wasn't any better in the morning. But I can't say no to Corvina when she invites me in this manner. Her inviting me to the females' gath
“What happened?” I inquired, but she shook her head and did not look up. Even a child could tell there was something wrong, but she denied it. I was about to roll my eyes, but I restrained myself.“Please tell me. What is the problem?” I persisted, and she sighed again, but this time she looked up.“I can’t seem to get the mixture right for the Chiboust cream for my A gâteau St. Honoré.” She said and my eyes widened. Gateau is one of the most difficult desserts to make. Being the baking enthusiast I am, I had tried to make A gâteau St. Honoré when I was merely sixteen. And I must say, it had left me traumatised to say the very least. Even so, I had given it a shot again after two or so years and after many failed attempts, I had succeeded.“Also, the pastry won't come out right no matter how many times I tried. I almost ran out of the ingredients. I might as well give up.” She groaned throwing her head back. I truly felt sorry for her.“Would you like me to help?” I asked and she look
A very familiar voice echoed through the small hall that connected the main entrance and the living room. I could feel sweat building on my forehead as I walked closer and closer to the living room. Praying, praying to a Goddess that has forsaken me long ago. Every step I took towards that living room felt like a path full of sharp thrones that tore apart me. I stopped at the doorstep, trying my hardest to hold the smile I had put on.“There you are, my dear!” My mother’s face lit up as she rushed towards me. Her eyes glistened as she wrapped her arms around me. Drawing me in her warmth that I had been dreading to feel. “Mother!” I breathed out as I wrapped my arms around her. I don’t know for how long we stood there but it didn’t feel enough.“I have missed you so much, my child.” She said as she pulled back and gently grasped my face. “You have no idea how much I have dreaded my behaviour…” “It’s okay. I don’t even remember those.” I could feel a tear glide down my cheek as I pres
My mother's words rang in my ears as I sat at the packhouse dinner table with the other wolves that night. I watched as my male smiled and laughed with his chosen by his side. I sat there watching as she passed him the dessert I had helped make. I sat there watching as he kissed her and thanked her for the food. And I wondered. I wondered if he had chosen to mate with a female who had not been bestowed upon him. Is he the one who persuaded Sigrún or perhaps plotted to mate with her? But if that was the case, then why would he call me a liar? Why would he believe that I am lying? If he was not the one who did it, then it only leaves Sigrún. I know I am not lying, and I know I did not forge the bond. Is it, then, her? Is she the one to blame? Did she somehow forge the bond with Erdem and convince him that she was his mate? I need to find out the truth. I have to get behind this. To get to the truth, I need to get to know her, gain her trust and get closer to her. I had been keeping my d
The manor, a testament to human artistry and nature's beauty, stood proudly nestled within the lush forest. Its exterior exuded an aura of stately charm, seamlessly blending with the landscape. The foundation and lower levels showcased sturdy, weathered stones, grounding the manor with enduring strength. As the eye travelled upward, the warm hues of polished wood adorned the upper levels, infusing a touch of refinement and luxury into its grand façade. The moonlight gracefully danced upon the textured surfaces, casting a mesmerizing glow that highlighted the intricate craftsmanship.Tall and proud, the windows punctuated the manor's exterior like watchful sentinels, their panes revealing glimpses of the warm light emanating from within. Delicate lace curtains, stirred by the night breeze, whispered secrets and enticed us to venture closer, promising mysteries to be uncovered within those hallowed halls.Surrounded by a carpet of emerald foliage, the manor seamlessly merged with its na
As the night deepened, the celebration took on a life of its own. The wolves joined hands, encircling a central bonfire, its flames casting a warm glow upon us all. Erdem offered me his hand and I gladly took it as we danced around the mighty fire. The wolves with their other halves joined in, swaying to the melody. We moved to the music, our bodies swaying in unison, a collective expression of gratitude and reverence for the cycle of life. I could look away from his majestic blues as they were fixated on me, a gentle smile adorned his beautiful face as he led us through the dance. In the middle of the dance, Ezio ran to us, freeing himself from his uncle, Anxo’s arms. Erdem bent down picking him up and with Ezio between us, he continued to lead us through the dance. The biggest smile adorned Ezio’s glowing face and the melodious sound of Erdem’s laughter filled the air. In the arm of my males, I was overwhelmed with gratitude and my heart was filled to the brim with love.After the d
As the sun began its descent, casting an ethereal golden glow across the forest, I found myself standing beside my male at the edge of a circular clearing. Our wolves, dressed in traditional attire adorned with intricate floral patterns, surrounded us. The air was alive with anticipation as the beats of drums and the melodious tunes of instruments filled my ears, transporting me to a realm where nature and magic converged.The rhythmic drumbeats quickened, pulling me into a trance-like state. My senses heightened as I observed the wolves gracefully swaying and twirling, their movements mirroring the very essence of the blossoming flowers and ancient trees. I too joined them, leading them as each and every step of us carried the weight of centuries, invoking the spirit of renewal that springs a sacred ritual to invoke growth and fertility. The energy in the clearing shifted, and a sense of reverence settled upon us. We formed a large circle, interlocking hands and hearts, as one of the
"What's going through your head, my love?" he whispered, his voice laced with a potent mix of growing arousal and anticipation. His fingers pinched my already sensitive nipple, causing a delightful mewl to escape my lips."Stop doing that," I managed to breathe out, my voice trembling, as his sweet torture on my breasts continued."Why?" he whispered, his warm breath grazing my earlobe, sending shivers down my spine."B-Because..." I struggled to complete my sentence, my thoughts scattered, as his hand ventured south, gliding over my dampening pussy, igniting a fierce fire within me."Fuck," he groaned. I could feel his cock rising to its glorious height, pressing tantalizingly against the curve of my back. And needless to say, we were dreadfully late for breakfast.The spring festival was on the verge of commencing, with the afternoon sun lazily sinking towards the horizon. Time was slipping away rapidly, leaving me with just a few precious hours to ensure that everything was perfect
"Shush," Erdem's voice, hoarse with desire, whispered urgently as his palm clamped over my mouth, attempting to stifle the shameless moans of pleasure that escaped my lips. With each deliberate, slow thrust, he ignited a fire within me, his sensual movements shaking my very core. I could feel his deliciously hard cock swelling inside my dripping, aching cunt, signalling his impending release.His tongue traced a scorching path along the fragile skin of my slender collarbone, trailing upward until it reached the tender expanse of my bruised neck, adorned with the vivid marks of his passionate love bites.“Nesta!” The way he uttered my name, dripping with a throaty, sonorous arousal, caused my pussy walls to clench tightly around his throbbing cock. With a primal grunt, he thrust himself deeper. My quivering legs, wrapped around his waist, instinctively pulled him closer, craving every inch of him. A bead of his sweat trailed down his scorching flesh, teasingly finding its way to my exp
He thrusted into me relentlessly, a powerful rhythm that shook me to my core. One of his hands tangled firmly in my hair, exerting delicious pressure that amplified the sensations. His teeth grazed along the sensitive skin of my neck, leaving a trail of electric anticipation in their wake. With possessive determination, he marked his territory, a tangible reminder of our shared primal connection.The force of his thrusts was both unyielding and controlled, an intoxicating blend that left me craving more. There was no gentleness in his actions, but I knew he had yet to unveil the full extent of his prowess. The hand that gripped my hair gradually travelled downward, igniting a frenzy of anticipation. When his skilled fingers found my sensitive bud, my sanity teetered on the edge, and I was lost to the depths of pleasure. A guttural moan escaped my lips, desperate gasps for air punctuating each exhilarating stroke and tantalizing circle he drew upon my pulsating clit.With every thrust,
A breathy moan escaped my agape mouth as I watched him feast on my soaking core. His mouth lapped on my core expertly. The tip of his tongue teased my already swollen and throbbing bud. He moved slow, his tongue going up and down. When he started sucking my swollen bud, the tip of his tongue going up and down, my eyes rolled back. My back arched involuntarily as I closed my eyes, the sound of my moans and the sinful sound of him lapping on my wetness filled the room.He bit down making me gasp out and as I looked down his warning eyes were fixated on my face. With both his hand, he had my legs spread and he went on with his feast. As he continued his ravage, I could feel the knot building in the pit of my stomach. Leisurely but firmly he fucked my pussy with his tongue while I ground myself against his thirsty mouth. The feeling was pure euphoria, yet I craved more. I wanted all of him.“Erdem!” I brazenly moaned stirring my pussy further into his lapping mouth as I felt myself tippin
My lungs greedily filled with oxygen, but the respite was fleeting as his lips crashed against mine once more. Our mouths fused together in a feverish dance, tongues entwining, each kiss an inferno that threatened to consume us both. Lost in his intoxicating trance, I could feel the throb between my legs intensify, a relentless ache that demanded attention, driving me to the brink of madness.A plaintive whine escaped my lips, a primal plea for some form of release from the searing desire that coursed through me. Erdem, ever attuned to my needs, responded with a swift and primal action. His hand, once resting on the table's surface, abruptly shifted, landing possessively on my bare thigh. Fingers dug into my flesh, a delicious mix of pain and pleasure, drawing a desperate mewl from deep within me. His mouth, ravenous and hungry, devoured the sound, capturing it with a possessiveness that mirrored the hunger within us both.“Where should we take this?” He breathlessly asked as we pulle
I entered the grand hall, my heart fluttering with a mix of excitement and nervousness, my hand securely wrapped around Erdem's arm. The weight of our precious bundle, Ezio, nestled in his father's embrace, added to the warmth and love that radiated between us. All eyes turned toward us, the spotlight shining on our new family as we stepped into the limelight.As we made our entrance, smiles began to spread across the faces of the crowd like ripples in a calm lake. The air buzzed with anticipation and joy, their eyes welcoming us into their embrace. It was a moment of pure bliss, feeling the acceptance and happiness emanating from those around us.Just as we were beginning to settle into this newfound sense of belonging, Ciro appeared, his Luna in tow. A rush of familiarity and comfort washed over me as Ciro approached, a beaming smile on his face. We embraced tightly, the years of separation instantly fading away, replaced by the unbreakable bond of friendship. Ciro congratulated Erd
