In the middle of the night, my belly protruded while in bed. The clouds, which were casting a shadow inside, were darker than I could imagine. I thought about leaving the room, changing my position to ease the pain. It was hitting me deeply in my veins and was moving around my belly. Suddenly, my eyes kept blinking repeatedly, making the situation more tense. I sighed, fear beating down my shoulders that I found it hard to stand up. It was a pity Angus was still asleep, right beside me. “Hoohm…” I groaned, holding my belly to order. I didn't want to wake Angus at first, but when the pain got to my navel and I couldn't bear it alone, I jabbed his arms and screamed his name, “Angus!” “What is it?” Angus blurted, raising his head instantly from the bed. “My belly hurts!” I grumbled, scraping my foot on the floor to remain stable. “What could that be?” Angus wondered, returning the yawn that wanted to disturb him. “I don't think there is a very good clinic here. Well, let me call Ro
In three days, we were out of the hospital. I had to find a better place to stay since I was already with a baby; I and Angus were plus one. The breeze began to blow as fast as noon appeared, inducing sleep from me. I began to shut my eyes little by little, but I couldn't leave my baby, who just wouldn't have a nap but kept disturbing me with cries.I could remember that the nurse who treated me and saw that I was delivered of the baby, gave me her contact. She didn't want to lose touch with me. I picked up my phone. “Hello, miss.” I greeted her. “Hey!” The nurse replied instantly. “Please, who is on this call?” “It's me.” I snapped. “I just left your hospital some days ago. I was delivered of a baby. I was wondering whether it was male or female…” “Oh…” the nurse recalled. “Yes.” I continued, increasing the intensity and height of my voice. “I can't forget what you said, promising to show me some secrets about Arleta that I do not know.”“Ma!” The nurse shot back bluntly, her
Two years later, I noticed the Arletan wolves suddenly coming out in packs and claiming that any strange families of people would be forced to be under their government. It seemed like I was the only one who took it to observation. I didn't want to disclose it to anyone. Lachie was already a two year old boy, trying to learn how life was in Arleta. Angus had already paid for the construction of a new house to accommodate the three of us. Ever since then, I hadn't felt comfortable. I kept receiving sudden visitations from my ghost mother, and she wouldn't stop appearing to me. The night hurried, drawing dark clouds down and spreading the atmosphere with a gusty wind. There were wolves who had sought to join us and attack Alpha Thane's kingdom and some of them stood outside watching out for the rogues. I raised my head gently. “I'm having a strange premonition, but I can't really tell…” I stuttered to myself, sliding the window aside, very slowly. “I wonder what could happen in the
Everything could have ended the day my ghost mother came for me, fully prepared. It amazed me to see her appear, while making love with Angus. I was already immersed in Angus's body and my system was driving deep down into him as he fucked me hard, that early morning. It was a snowy day and the atmosphere was cool, cooler than any other day. “Ohh…!” I cried, trying to hold back a reaction to his thrusts. “Angus, do it easily.” “I have to feel it.” Angus revealed, seriously fondling me. “It all belongs to me and only me. Until I am tired today, I won't leave you.” I was feeling the excitement, my nerves rising as a raised heap of sand. I was no longer in the world of worrying about the past, and Angus's turning over me made me feel he erasing my past, like he had promised to do, long agoBut suddenly and unfortunately, as Angus was hitting around the sweetest part between my thighs and I was getting much more aroused, my ghost mother appeared standing right before me. I screamed,
The morning came with chirping birds whose voices overwhelmed the space, filling the air with cool tunes. The entire compound of the house was silenced by their songs, as enchanting as they were. 9am was ticked speedily on the clock. I saw Angus coming out from the bathroom, a towel wrapped around his shoulders. “Where to?” I asked curiously, not raising my head. I was deep into my phone surfing the internet to know about ghosts and witches. “Mary needs my attention.” Angus replied, wearing his boots and fastening them immediately. “So, you're dressed like a militant.” I added, grinning at him, my eyes rolling all over his dressing and countenance. “Is there any activity like a battle you're going for?* “No.” Angus responded, “I just have to make sure I'm ready anytime Alpha Thane tries to threaten me.” “I wonder why he framed his own death news and even spread it.” I explained, shaking my head with disgust for the Alpha. “I can't stand the aura here alone.” “Lachie will play w
The atmosphere was tense. It came with the rustle of wolves’ claws, making a noise and sending too much cold indoors. It'd been years the weather had changed this way, even Lachie was accustomed to Arleta.I was already dressed, after shutting all the entrances to the house. Then, Lachie and Angus were by my side, totally armoured, as well. “Give me some minutes, Angus!” Mary exclaimed, dragging Ronan by the hand as they both returned inside together. “It's just for a short while.” “What are you waiting for?” Angus retorted, shocked to hear Mary's request. “Didn't you hear that the Alpha is closer to this place accompanied by rogues?” “We can't leave them.” I said, holding Angus and Lachie by the hands. “Let us wait a little.” “Hmm.” Angus mused, lifting his thumb in uncertainty. “What are they going to do inside anyways?” I wondered, as I held a mug of tea into Lachie's mouth. In a jiffy, the sound of footsteps was heard, stomping the ground and echoing right in the room. Angus
It dawned on me that the Thane Wrest pack members were no longer satisfied with my existence. I was already known and even considered as possibly the future Luna. Seeing Caelum for advice didn't come to my mind until my ghost mother visited again, appearing more clearly than ever before. I was shocked to a high extent, that I was stiffened. My little Lachie was nowhere to be found, his situation making me feel worse about myself that I started thinking about going to Caelum. If only he could help, I was ready to support him but wouldn't raise a single finger in ovation for Alpha Thane. “Hoohhh…” I breathed heavily, my both hands folded into each other. Months were passing away and disappearing like shreds of paper in the air, accompanied with noises of impending danger and ominous threats. Each night I spent during this time was nothing different from my first years in Arleta, after knowing Angus. I was left alone again to scale through the thick and thin of the horrible situatio
I never dreamt I could be under Alpha Thane's tutelage. My thought was that I was already free from him, his pack and the threatening rogues he commissioned against me. Days were spent on days and I was almost counting months in Alpha Thane’s territory. I wasn't treated like a Queen, as he always wished to treat me, whenever he had me to himself. Unfortunately for the Alpha, he had concluded that I had no choice but to succumb to his charges and influence. But, I was only feigning submission to him, trying hard to get his tricks and schemes. My heart raced that morning, pounding very loudly that I had to hold my chest tightly. I wanted to avoid falling for him by all means, even though he didn't show me any lustful sign yet. I turned in bed, looking around as my yawn made me think of Lachie, who was always by my side before. My eyes cleared off, and I realised I was in the Thane Wrest pack house. Before I could lift my head to leave the bed, the guard standing at the doorstep rai
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
