Angus still didn't name his pack, even though Alpha Thane had been temporarily defeated. He was already used to leaving everything that pertained to me and even him, secret. Before the end of the year could come knocking on the calendar door, the wolves in our territory had decided to gather and be united. I was eager to know what they were planning to do. Even Angus was present amongst them, and he took the front seat. “Here's to a great victory of ambition and liberation!” Angus celebrated, his voice laced with repeated bursts of laughter. “I am so excited to call all of you here together, today…” “It's our pleasure!” The wolves echoed back, their voices raised. “Does anyone know why we are gathered here?” Angus questioned, his hands almost reaching me that I thought he wanted to call me. “I want to hear from an Omega or Beta…” “What of the Gamma?” One of the wolves asked Angus, snorting with a friendly smile. “Can we speak too?” “Hold on.” Angus replied, his voice loud and fi
I was at the backyard for a long time trying to buy time, before I could return inside. The members in my pack were already inside and they would be hoping to get served their lunch, so I was waiting till the time came. “Will you take Haggis?” I asked Mary, who was staring at me together with her kid. “Hey, pretty girl!” I asked Mary's daughter. “Do you know what a sheep looks like.” “Huh hmm.” Mary's daughter replied, her voice firm and softly raised. I knew what she meant though, since I already discovered the wolf in her. “Can you eat its heart?” I asked her, smiling as Mary suddenly ogled at me, and smirked. “No, bring us Bread.” Mary said, raising her eyeballs as she smiled at me. “Let me join you in cooking today.”“Can you prepare rice and mix it with eggs?” I asked her, eagerly accepting her offer. “Yes, sure.” Mary said, as she walked into the pack house and directly to the kitchen. Before I could turn my eyes, as I entered my room, I sighted Lachie. He was rubbing off
The terrifying news that reached the secret pack I belonged to, dashed into a moment of confusion. I was baffled, since I first heard it, so I had to let Angus know immediately. Angus didn't waste time. Any matter that include me always attracted his concern. I called him and he received the call immediately. “Hello, is there anything going wrong?” “Honey, but you didn't tell me you are planning to book a flight to America.” I started, my words hanging in my throat as I kept teasing him. “For how long will you be there?” “I should spend just a period of two months there.” Angus replied, his statement hitting me deep on my chest and sending a shiver to my spine. “But, unfortunately, it has been canceled.” “Thank goodness!” I exclaimed, rejoicing that Angus would come soon. “Why are you grateful?” Angus asked me, his voice rather stern. “Are you grateful to the Moon Goddess or what?” “No.” I replied, my ears tingling at the bluntness of his response, which was at the same an abrup
The following day, while I was still in bed early dawn, I heard a knock on my door and I hurried to open it. When I got there, I blurted out. “Who has come to wake me up from my sleep?” “It's me.” The voice returned, sounding like that of Caelum. I retracted my footsteps and snorted. Would I open for him to enter my room. “Is that Caelum?” I asked again. “Yes.” Caelum replied, unwilling to put up a lie. He knocked even harder and said, “is that Ellie inside, please?” “Huh…” I sighed and responded to him, “I can't really say.” “Please, open this door!” Caelum requested, his voice louder. I left the door and hurried back in bed, wondering what Caelum had come to do very early that morning. It wasn't any minute past six o'clock on the dot, so I wasn't totally up, as well. I yawned very loudly, covered my mouth and went to the refrigerator. There was no watermelon there any longer, but it was often what I desired, whenever I woke up in the morning. My eyes kept blinking and I tri
Angus stomped his right foot on the floor, right in the sitting room and at the sight of the rogues, he brought out his sword, which was shining and reflecting whatever or whoever was close to it, and suddenly, he placed it on the head of the male wolf. “Honey, did you already find out that they were here?” I asked Angus, patting him on the shoulder, feeling slight pity for the mating wolf rogues. “Not at all.” Angus replied, his voice held firmly. “But, I have been so careful these days and I also promised myself a dangerous thing…” “What's that, Daddy?” Lachie interrupted him, asking to know. “I already promised to kill any rogue I find anywhere, especially right in this pack house.” Angus revealed, sighs repeatedly coming with his words. “I will never spare these two!”“Spare them, please!” I screamed, grabbing Angus in his arms. I hated to see blood and I knew too well how Angus would react on his promise. He never joked with whatever he planned to do. “Daddy, no!” Lachie obj
It was a snowy night, which came with the thick atmosphere, covered with gathered clouds. The earth was almost shrouded completely with frost and everything spoke of a strange cold aura. Even the breeze that blew through my window before I walked outside was freezing me. I had to wake Lachie up in order to ask him about the way he was feeling. “Hope the cold isn’t too much for you?” I asked him. “No.” Lachie responded, his voice clear as though he hadn't slept at all. “I am used to it.” “But, where I gave birth to you isn't this cold anyways.” I teased him, actually telling him the truth though. “Arizona, right?” Lachie said, smiling at me as he rubbed his face. “Stop it, son!” I exclaimed, bursting out an unstopping laughter. “Isn't it the place?” He asked back, spreading the smile that appeared on his face, his dimples widened as well. “Don’t worry.” I said, my hands placed around my lips to retract the next burst of laughter. “Go and resume your sleep.” “Mo
Suddenly, as I raised my head above my pillow to adjust, something struck my mind, sending shivers to my spine. I was blown into an aura of imagination, which wrapped me tightly that I had to recline on the bed rails. My ghost mother, in the name of McTavish's wife, hadn't visited me for a while. I was wondering what pissed her off or discouraged her from even appearing to me. Well, I often complained of her usually unannounced visits, but now, I expected her to at least see Lachie, the result of my sweet obsession. I was curious of her arrival into the pack house too, as I desired to see her expression whenever she realised our pack had been thoroughly established. Angus met me right there, but it was until I felt his jab on my arms that I flinched, and adjusted, coming back to the present moment. “What are you thinking about?” Angus asked me, raising his eyebrows. “Erm…” I only slurred. “Well, I hope you're not bothered about the rogues?” Angus continued, pouring out all h
I was surprised to see Mary's call. I even remained stiff as I stared at the screen of my phone. I was about to reach Angus to come and help me to receive the call, when he suddenly rushed to me and snatched the phone from my hands and received it. Whenever a red symbol appeared on the top of the screen, it meant the call needed urgent attention. I wondered what might have happened, so I wasn't able to receive it. “Sweet heart…” I said.“Shh!” Angus stopped me, motioning me to keep mute. He continued, “Mary, what's going wrong?” “Alpha Angus.” Mary replied, her voice coming out with unstopping breaths. “I just heard that Alpha Thane is trying to sign a peace treaty with your pack.” “Oh, really?” Angus retorted. “Is that why you signified urgency on your call?” “It may sound funny, but…” Mary continued, her voice lowered. “He is trying many means to see that we surrender to him.”“I know!” Angus complemented, his voice raised very high. “Thane Thomas is a tricky Alpha.” “What do
CHAPTER 76 It was the first day of the full dark moon and I realised it was just counting. The moment meant for the war with strange beasts and we, the wolves had just started. I was seated with Angus, my wolf mate and what he could only do was caress me. "Angus!" I calmed him down, looking at him closely. "Why aren't you concerned about what might suddenly happen?" "When I am horny?" Angus reacted strangely, rolling his tongue lustfully. "I shouldn't be any concerned, my love.” "Angus, this isn't the time for your lustful desires!" I retorted, pushing him away gently. "We have a war to prepare for, lives to protect!" He chuckled, his golden eyes gleaming in the dim light of our den. "And what better way to protect lives than to ensure the continuation of our pack, my Luna?" He reached for me again, but I stood up, my patience wearing thin. "Angus, be serious!" I growled, my wolf instincts rising to the surface. "The dark moon brings out the worst in those creatures. We need
The following day was sweet, as well. But, I felt no change in my body. My wolf didn't come out of my body. I wondered but the feeling of sleeping with Angus, my husband that night was too sweet. Angus reached me, as if knowing each of my thoughts. "Are you ready for an outing in Arleta. Shall we go to a nearby bar?""Hmm, what of Eric, your friend?" I asked, concerned."No." Angus objected. "He can't be with us, seeing our tools. I will fuck you right there too.""Okay." I replied, firmly agreed to Angus as I kept staring at him. "I want doggy..." I purred, rubbing my body against his, feeling the familiar heat rise within me. He chuckled, a low, rumbling sound that vibrated through my core. "As you wish, my love. But first, let's have a drink, shall we?" He took my hand, his touch sending shivers down my spine. The anticipation was almost unbearable. I knew that tonight, under the Arletan sky, with the taste of alcohol on our lips, we would unleash a passion that would leave us bre
"I don't see you," I said, my heart pounding in my chest. "This isn't funny, Angus."A low growl reverberated through the air, and the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end. It wasn't Angus's voice, and it definitely wasn't human. The sound seemed to come from all directions, making it impossible to locate its source. Panic began to set in, and I spun around, desperately trying to find something familiar in the shifting shadows.Then I saw it. A pair of glowing eyes, burning like embers in the darkness. They were fixed on me, and I felt a primal fear grip me, paralyzing me in place. The growling intensified, and a dark shape began to emerge from the trees. It was large, muscular, and covered in thick fur. Its teeth were bared in a menacing snarl, and its eyes held a wild, predatory gleam. This was no ordinary animal. This was something else entirely. Something terrifying."Angus?" I whispered again, but I already knew it wasn't him. This creature, whatever it was, had taken his pl
At a nearby restaurant called Klingon bar, where Angus usually visited since we got here, in order to have some fun, and take his mind off worries, he stood and watched around, hoping he would meet Mr. Kenneth, who was his new adviser. As usual, I was around him to ensure he was doing well and nothing bothered him much. I stayed with Sarah, his friend at the bar. It had been two hours, Angus hadn't even heard of the man. Several peeping through his window didn't work, especially when he found out from Sarah that the man had travelled for a tour. Angus yawned. Sarah offered him a chair as usual, but not with any soft drink. He called her, talking to her as if he was joking. "Sarah! Won't you offer me a drink at least? I trust you for the delicious… orange juice." "Hmm…" Sarah returned, her response conveying the same thought as Angus's. "I think we have a small extra here, I'll be back soon." She entered to get one cup for him and arrived so quickly with a straw neatly pierced in i
It was a snowy day. Nothing happened yet. Suddenly, Angus's voice broke the silence. I was in the study room, overhearing Angus's complaints. "God!" Angus howled, not speaking to anybody, but to himself. "It's high time I found a job in this strange land. Why should everything be unclear?” "Perhaps New Hawkshire wasn't meant for you…" Mr. Cooper retorted, as he appeared suddenly from the dining room. "Oh, you are here, sir…" Angus whimpered, almost bowing. “What's the meaning of that?” "Keep it right there." Mr. Cooper reverted, his mind clearly rejecting Angus's greeting, and angry, because of the words he heard him say earlier. "Are you reporting me to God, or what? Whatever…! Just make sure you secure a job, and shamelessly make your own money, at least for once…" "Money?!" Angus interrupted him, almost rudely. He was getting frustrated and at that particular time, I walked in. "Dad, what's wrong again?" I questioned Mr. Cooper, who played the role of my father due to his w
Since we found ourselves in another land, we weren't settled yet. What bothered everyone mostly was the war.Angus sighed, waking up to the usually dull atmosphere, his mouth effusing cold breath as of an idle person. He didn't have any work to do, not even a reasonable duty. "Hi, Mr. Cooper!" He greeted the man he called his father-in-law, who had accommodated him in a family house. "Hope you slept well, Angus?" Mr. Cooper returned, closing and opening his eyes intermittently to shake off some dust off his face. "Yes, sir." Angus answered, hoping to escape and go outside to perhaps walk around. He feared Mr. Cooper's threat, especially whenever he was angry and was pointing at him, hurling potent words at him. "Come over…" Mr. Cooper interposed, not letting Angus move a step. "Have you ever seen the person you love today? Let me start from there." "Oh, sincerely…" Angus replied, trying to snub the right response. "But, she hasn't woken up. Lily often wakes up late, these days, s
There was no other perfect way I could describe the situation I found myself in than tense—anything less than tension would only mean overlooking our plight. Fear gripped me alongside Angus, and our pack members at large. Going through suffering that would endure longer than a week was nothing we could imagine. I couldn't withhold the intimidation it was engulfing me with. The Moon Goddess wasn't promising us any positive occurrence, even after the fifteen-day chaos and everything was breaking down into shambles. I thought of seeking her personally, hoping she would consider my weak gender or personality. I was mistaken. “If you try to run away from this battle,” the Moon Goddess explained, raising her voice and filling up my ears, “I assure you only a temporary victory—something that fades away in a moment.”“What does that mean?” I asked, my eyes glowing with a visible spark of light as I beheld the majesty of the Goddess. “Thane Thomas will not let you go.”The Moon Goddess con
It was truer than it seemed to be. A fifteen-day battle was going to occur and the entirety of Arleta would be in shambles, if not utterly destroyed. I was on the shore with Angus already but he was already weakened by the way he hit his spine on a rock. "It hurts, I know, my darling." I said, as I massaged him right there. None of our pack members had come around to even search for us and I was discouraged at that. "Angus, just be good. We will fight this battle till the end. I know one day, we will be free from that Thane Wrest pack!""That's true." Angus managed to say, looking at me with nothing but a dreary face of his, his arms dropping just as his jaws were. "I know that everyone is bound to have at least one enemy in this Arleta, especially. The Moon Goddess said she wants to totally destroy Arleta, don't you think she can do it?""I know she can." I answered him rather coldly, feeling like an antagonist to he Moon Goddess. "I often wonder why she took pleasure in doing thin
Angus was back from the Moon Goddess. He had told me last night that he needed to know what was going to happen next. He was brimming with eagerness as he walked in and left the main door open. “First thing I came for darling!” Angus said, his eyes fixed on my dreary, unwashed face. “I want you to fuck me deep down. You'll be on me for about thirty minutes. I want to feel your own thrusts and pulls.” “Really, you mean what you said?” I reverted, my face wearing a half smile seeming to be a false one. “I don't have the urge right now, Angus.” Actually, I was stressed and I couldn't even walk so fast and well, so I wondered how I would be the one to thrust his tool inside me. “C'mon!” Angus exclaimed, approaching me with fast steps. He reached me, grabbed me by my top shirt and dragged me into the room. “I learnt we need strength for a fifteen-day journey. The Moon Goddess said the Thane Wrest pack will oppress us and even try all means to attack us, either by poison, magic silver bl
