My eyes blinked as I woke up. I didn't know when I slept off. I realised I had been in bed for a while. Immediately, I sat up and saw Alpha Thane still asleep, snoring hard beside me. "Young woman?" a voice called out behind me, making me turn my face towards that direction. "Who's there?" I questioned, the intensity of my voice echoing in my ears and tapping the Alpha. I discovered Alpha Thane was shaking and turning to my side. Soon, he was pushing his hands forward to reach me, trying to grab me. I didn't know what he was up to. "Huh…" his voice lowered, and his snore reduced, giving way for the strange voice to keep reverberating."Who?" I reiterated, glueing myself to the wall as I held a pillow onto my face. Literally, the groaning of wolves started to surface the atmosphere, not leaving the space of my room out. I wondered where my courage had gone as I stood stiff, uncontrollably shivering. As soon as I sighed, Alpha Thane opened his eyes and winked. He slowly drew his mou
Time elapsed the moment of my situation, and it was like the entire space of Arleta only existed at a glance. The full moon appeared, casting a dark cloud around me that I couldn't even understand where I was. My eyes blinked as I stood up and I felt someone sleep beside me, turning and rubbing me hard. I wiped my face with a towel and discovered it was Angus. "Angus?" I called out his name, my voice coming out with pauseless breaths. "How did you get here?" "I was all around you all these days…" Angus replied, holding me by my palms as he felt the pulse. "Why are you so bothered? Were you scolded by any wolf?" I noticed Angus's curiosity. I would only hurt myself if I didn't answer him. I returned, my voice intentionally lowered, "I was haunted by many of them. Even Thane…" "Alpha Thane?" Angus questioned, his hands dropping by his sides in wonder. "That brutal wolf came to meet you?" "Angus…" I said, breathing pitifully. "I wonder why you left me trying to escape from that bru
Two months later, having spent a number of moments in the southern part of Arleta, a dangerous zone in Scotland. I discovered I had been destined to be wild, seeing that the place was dark and dreadful like a forest. I had been accustomed to a den but I wasn't that hurt by anything of the aura. How I had survived those times was a wonder, dangling in my heart as I looked up to the sky on a certain snowy day. It was a change of atmosphere and I came out of my new abode, trying to spy the sudden event.Suddenly, the wolf in me started to come out, as the full moon appeared very slowly, spilling thicker darkness in the clouds and turning the underneath houses obscure. I began to shift, my memory rustling in my head. In a twinkling of an eye, some deadly wolves added to the noise of the wind, groaning repeatedly as they followed me. I was surprised at their numbers and the way they were walking towards my side. "Grrhh!" They kept groaning. Immediately I realised my nerves weren't s
The clouds retired into the sky, folding up and wrapping the day up. I was outside my new apartment, hoping I would find someone to play or speak with. I was disturbed even by the splashing waters of the sea, almost drowning the bank where I was, looking here and there. It was a delicate time of my life, where I needed Angus the most. "Ahhh…" I made a sound, breathing hard as I placed my hands by my waist, concerned about my lonely state. Before I knew it, I heard a noise from behind, attracting me without a rethink. I had to look back, but to my amazement, I didn't see anyone or anything. I wondered. "Who are you?" I asked, turning around as my words only fled into the air. "Come out, whoever is there!" "Ellie!" The voice returned, but I didn't still see anyone. I was curious and so eager to move closer. I could imagine myself in a haven, if it was Angus. "I am responding…" I replied, my voice lowered in pity and uncertainty. "Is that you, Angus?" "Yes!" The voice replied, so
The sky rustled, coming with thunder and lightning, as its colour reflected in the room, where I was laid down. Angus had woken me up instantly, tapping my buttocks. Angus's hands were already softened and smooth. I didn't need to open my eyes too widely before I saw the way his body had been healed up, very clearly and permanently. "Angus!" I called out his name, my voice coming with a heavenly smile. "Your hands are…" "Surprised?" Angus retorted, returning the smile as he lifted me up. I was already exhausted that I needed that. My eyes quickly ran through Angus's face, capturing his physique and handsomeness. It was as if he was reborn. I couldn't take my eyes off him, because of his outstanding attractiveness. I was quiet. But, when I noticed him packing some loads together. I forced his hand onto mine and asked him, "Angus, where are we going?""Didn't you hear the sudden blast of the thunder?" Angus snapped. "Are you cool with the weather right now, Ellie?" "I can't say."
My eyes blinked gently as I turned in bed, my hands touching an object on my right hand. I cleared my face and realised there was a wristwatch on my hand. The aura was entirely different, the weather remaining cool, the breeze also filling up the air but slowly engulfing me. I felt warmth with Angus, as he ran through my body. I looked up instantly and got up. I wondered, my mouth opened agape when I saw Angus. "Angus Fraser!" I called him, waving to him to come near. He was speaking with some of his friends far away, but I knew he was the one. "Is it that urgent?" Ronan, Angus's brother asked me, suddenly showing up behind me. "As you can see, Alpha Angus is occupied at the moment and he cannot be available anytime soon." "Why?" I muttered, wiping my face as the wonder and beauty of the new environment cast a lasting radiance to my view. "And, why is Angus called an Alpha?" "Didn't you know how he fought and won at last?" Ronan continued, his heads bowed and his arms curling ar
The sound of the music was quite overwhelming, tingling my ears. It was an unusual meeting point with numerous people, who claimed to have come from different families. I realised I was made to sit in between two hefty men, my eyes blinking in uncertainty. I kept on staring at Angus, who was wonderfully dressed in a suit, sharing glasses of wine with the people that sat at the table. When Angus reached me, he smiled and dropped the wine bottle. “Ellie, how are you today?” I didn't respond, but then, I made Angus bend his head to hear my whisper. “What are we up to, here?” “Don't you realise this is our second party in Glasgow?” Angus wondered, making gestures with his hands. “It is another day of celebration.” “Then, who are these people?” I muttered, trying to avoid my face from moving around their eyes. “Angus, do you really know them?”“That's funny of you.” Angus stated, smiling widely as he raised his head again. “I will…” I said, my words falling off, as Angus left tempora
It was already evening. Everyone who had graced the third meeting had dispersed. Ewen had walked farther from me before I could realise I was left alone. The third party we celebrated was a grand one as well, but we didn't spend much time like we did, the earlier times. Suddenly, the weather became cloudy but I didn't expect a downpour at all, since it was quite unusual to see such, back in Arleta. “Well, here is a different place.” I muttered to myself, as I raised my feet and hurried to meet Ewen. “Hey, wait!” I called him, my voice recklessly raised. “Just stop, right there!” “What is it?” Ewen voiced back, turning back instantly. “Why are you after me now? Do you need any piece of information from me?” I was taken aback. Ewen might be trying to hide some secrets from the rest of us, who were present at the three parties. It was made clear in the way Ewen spoke, the tone of his voice dwindling suspiciously, as someone aiming to only spy on us. After Angus had requested to ha
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
