Two Lovebirds

"I can't believe you're here!" Nyx mutters hugging me tightly, clasping into my chest.

I gently pat her head, brimming with happiness. Honestly I had to come here, I couldn't concentrate even for a bit in the training after hearing all the war news. I used her name to enter the pack, saying I had urgent personal business with the Alphaess. Even though the area looks calm and normal, it feels like the calm before the storm.

"Come to my den," Nyx holds my hand tightly and starts running swiftly. Can't help but love seeing her excitement, while the other people are looking at us with wide eyes, must be a rare sight for them.

Nyx closes the door after we enter the room, eyeing me upside down, like I'm an experiment.

"You gained a lot of muscles," she softly punches my biceps.

"The training was pretty harsh there," I reply, but that was all worth it even after not being finished. I step forward and gently take her face in my hands, looking dearly into her eyes.

"Are you okay, Alphaess?"

Tears start to fill up her eyes, but she looks away before they can fall. I slowly kiss her forehead, thinking it must have been really hard for her, managing such great duties all alone.

Her soft, pink lips part apart, I can feel my heart beat raise up the moment she rests her hands on my shoulder, her pheromones wanting something, her eyes closing with soft affection.

Before I know it, my lips claim hers as my own, exploring their secret taste. I savor the juicy flavor, wishing this moment to last forever, finding it hard to control myself. She shakes under my touch, her moist lips are parting more to give me entrance. With a desperate breath, my tongue touches hers, immediately waking up something inside me.

"Wait, Lorenzo," she suddenly turns away, breathing heavily. "I think we should calm down a bit and take things slow."

I nod at response, not sure how to take things slow when all I wanna do is explore every inch of her, seems like all of my mediation training at the camp was for nothing.

"Do you wanna go fresh up?" she's blushing so hard, seeing that I chuckle too, she looks so ethereal.

"Yeah, I guess I should, otherwise--" I give her a wink and receive a soft punch at response.

It's usual that wolves here won't see me in a good light, but being the Alphaess's acquaintance, I don't receive much backlash for the next few days. Seems like the physical training paid off and I gain more muscles and get bulkier, I start to work with the warrior squad along with Nyx.

It's the night before full moon.

I got a kind of like a summary about the pack's background, how their culture works and how their mindset work. Many of them changed their perspectives of thinking when the Alpha Vincent era started, the rest of them is good people. Even though Walker is a traitor, he still has supporters, but can't do much because of the protection guards. When I came to know about him and what he did, I couldn't help but feel disgusted, Nyx must have feel so betrayed.

We try to be together all the time, plan our war schedules and attack techniques. It has become my war too, I'm not sure how my family feel about this since we haven't exchanged letters for a while. They probably don't care or already have labeled me as a Deserters.

I try to think about Noah's motives behind this war, clearly he has gotten enormously powerfully while growing up. I don't have collection of much memories of us together, but I do remember having a good time. That's what baffles me the most, how horribly a person can change over time. Is that great power and wealth he's seeking for? But he's already a prestigious person in his own pack, why would he need that? I'm aware of the fact that Nyx and he was a thing before, did something happen back then? I'm scared to ask Nyx directly about that, since she obviously despises him.

I walk to the library, the guards in front of the door let me in after seeing who I'm. After stepping ahead, I discover Nyx sitting in a pile of books, looking like she lost the track of time. That's one thing I love about her, she concentrate on things and never loses patience, is desperate to get the things she wants done.

"Alphaess," I bow dramatically to get her attention, not sure I should interrupt her right now, but I do it anyway.

She looks up dreamily after hearing my voice, smiling immediately.

"You're here," she indicates at the seat beside her, arranging the books in the shelves.

"No, I'm okay. If you're busy, I can just come back later."

"I'm almost done. You can sit here."

I take a peek at the books, wondering what kind of books they're. Nyx quickly hides the book titles after noticing my interest and awkwardly says that, "You won't like them, it's about some secret stuff."

"Like witchcraft and ancient magic."

Nyx nods, looks a bit uncomfortable, so I don't ask anything further. She clearly doesn't look like she wanna talk about it, but I'm intrigued by that stuff, I'm not going to judge her or anything.

"So, the war probably starts tomorrow," she mutters, having a gloomy expression on her face.

I gently press on her hands, knowing this tension and responsibilities are wearing her out.

"It's okay, Nyx. You don't have to push yourself this hard. Come here," I open my arms wide.

She hugs me tightly, like she's trying to grasp my body as her last hope. I kiss her hair, smell the beautiful scent coming from it and hold her in my arms. I wanna be like this with her even when we grow old, be her peace of mind.

"Do you wanna eat something? Hungry?" I suddenly remember the day we met at the festival.

"Wolf meat?" she giggles.

"Whoa, I didn't know that you're a cannibal."

"I'm not sure, I might be."

"In that case, you can eat me."

"That sounds hot for no reason," she whispers.

She looks up to me and moves me closer to her. I respond back, gazing at her with hooded eyes. Her lips touch my neck softly, leaving wet marks on my skin. She begins nibbling on my flesh and suddenly bites on it. I can't help but let out a moan, gripping her hips and pulling her on me. Why does she feel so good, even though she's just biting my neck?

I pull her to my face, crashing our lips together. She slides her tongue into my mouth with no hesitation, exploring mine. I savor her saliva like there's no tomorrow, I can feel that I'm getting a huge erection. Would it be too much if I ask her to take care of it? I mean obviously I like her a lot and she likes me too, then it should be normal, right?
