Crocus : is a genus encompassing over 80 different flowering plants. They’re a part of the Iridaceae family, making them a distant relative of irises. Purple, the traditional color of royalty, is tied to gracefulness, dignity, and personal success. It’s great for symbolize someone’s recent accomplishments or to celebrate their many years of service or partnership. Darker shades in particular have a strong association with the wisdom of experience.
“But, that’s impossible. I mean, surely there were other Alphas or even Lunas that got married to a human!” I tried to protest his somewhat demeaning explanation, and once again, I felt a very threatening aura from behind me. Crocus looks a bit stiff, and he tried to rephrase his words, “No, no, miss, I meant not to be rude to you, absolutely not.” He was smiling, but of course I know that he was just terrified by three alphas, think he got threatened by Zephyr and Aaron last night as well. “You’re a very-very rare case. For a hundred years, alphas prefer to mate with luna and omega only, not ever consider any human, and we never know why, but you came, and it’s become something unexpected.” I must say, so amusing to hear how Crocus tried so hard to censor his words. I smile and shake my head. “I guess I really need to meet with the pack council soon then?” “Yes, of course, it would be an honor, miss Hunt.” Crocus nervously smiles at me. I guess the three of them were glaring at him
“How long till we arrive again?” I tried to ask Aaron, who was sitting right next to me. He put his smartphone down and look at me straight in the eyes. “You know, you’re asking the same question, like an one hour ago.” He said to me with some obvious annoyance in his expression. “You seem bored.” Said Zephyr, who sits in front of me. “Yes, and I don’t want to go and take a nap. I’m not tired." I grunted at them while I look into the window. Aaron approached my face and teased me. “Why not? I thought Cat loves to take a nap.” “Well, not this Cat.” I said to him while my hand push him away. “Oh, but this Cat loves to purr though, already confirmed.” Said Elm from the other seat next to Zephyr. I look at him and he winked at me. “Oh, kitty Cat, I would love to hear you purr when I am on top of you.” Whispered Aaron. I was chuckling, but Zephyr immediately stopping our sexy banter. “The three of you stop!” He said to us with a gruntled in his voice, “Please just mind of everyone
The twenty hour plus journey to get back home already make my bones cracking all over the place. We are now heading back to the hideout, although calling it a hideout seems like a futile attempt. Bernard told me that besides the enemy pack, most of the neutral packs knew about this hideout. “Then how come all of you call it a hideout? It’s not a very hidden, though.” I said to Bernard while shaking my head because of how ridiculous this situation was. Until Bernard said something that I couldn’t even consider as a human, but normal for them the mystic blood, “It was an enchanted hideout, missus.” When I saw him, Bernard was smiling, but not like he was mocking me, more like he understands my position as a human who just knows everything by now. “As the pack of werewolves, we have our eat of rules, including two packs that are at a war with each other. The other needs to be a neutral party unless the circumstances rise.” “Wow, Bernard, you really memorized all of that sh*t?!” I look
“My grandfather? Predicting my future?” It as surprised me as I can be. This is quite news for me. I never even thought about my mother's side of the family. He never talks about it that much, and as time goes by, I kind of forget them altogether. Gramps looking at me like he tried so hard not to be sad about it. “Your mother leave her family because of your father. They fall in love as soon as they laid eyes on each other back then. Your father is always joking about how proud he was to get your mother, since she was the beauty of the school.” “Wait, I thought dad was a geek? He was the captain of the st*r wars club.” I kept some of this memorabilia, and I do admit, he was a geek, wearing st*r wars t-shirt all the time, and talk about his favorite Jedi and how D*rth Vader is just some misunderstanding villain. “I remember mom just smiling whenever he got geek out over the new merchandise of st*r wars, and even already plan to camp out with his friend to get the merchandise before a
They held the barbecue party on the lush garden with a basketball and tennis field. Zephyr was talking with someone on his cellphone, while Elm had a colorful conversation with the teams. Look around, I could also see a track field on the side. Aaron told me this is their training yard. “You can also do some morning jog on those mountain tracks.” Said Aaron while pointing at a small asphalt road with trees surrounding it. He was in the middle of grilling some corn and meat skewers. “That is so freaking beautiful,” I got excited all of a sudden, “I’m going to take a jog in the morning. I feel a bit out of breath lately.” “What’s your daily run?” He asked me with his face concentrate on the task at hand. “Four or five miles? How about you?” With a sense of proud I tell him about my daily run routine. He chuckles and looks at me. “Ten, with a little hike sometimes.” Gasping, I smack on his arm, “No way, you’re trying to upping me, right?!” “Nope, the honest truth.” He said and then
“Do you have to escort me everywhere? I mean, I can go by myself!” Zephyr and I couldn’t get to see eye to eye on this matter. I like to go alone, but he can’t even let me go without his supervision for just one second. It’s so frustrating how stubborn he can be, and we end up bickering for a short time. Until Aaron gave us a solution. “Look. How about if she goes to her grandfather’s house with team A tailing on her in another car?” Said Aaron to Zephyr, “Gave her some space, Zephyr, it’s not like they are going to try to kidnap her after she become our mate.” “Yes, but we never know if they will do something drastic or…” “Zephyr, you need to lay off a bit. I know all of this has been so stressful to you, but let her go alone with our team look closely to her.” Elm finally chime in, and I love how the two of them simply trying to help me. Zephyr look at me closely, he took a sigh and finally gives in, “Fine! She can go alone.” And then he added, “But, team A will be driving close
(Zephyr) Pouring a drink, Elm and I were still enjoying the barbecue party when I saw Cattleya go away with Aaron. There’s no jealousy between us, because the three of us are her mates and sharing is our way since thousand years ago. The teams were having such a good time, I can see them already went to take their good times on the bed, making love between the team are not forbid, sometimes I think it bond them together, and I support that, as long as the feeling isn’t getting stronger afterwards. “What are you thinking about her going alone tomorrow?” I asked Elm, still worrying about Cattleya’s plan. He was looking at me with such an annoyance on his face, “You know, if you really don’t trust her that much, probably it will be for the best you go with her tomorrow?” “I can’t. Do you want her to give me a silent treatment for eternity?” Said myself to Elm. He scoffed and continued drinking his liquor. “You could always undercover on team A, I mean the only one she knew right now
(Aaron) It was the hottest day in my mind. I wake up and saw Cat already leaving for her morning jog. I knew that she was probably going to tease me endlessly because we have a bet. But, to tell you the truth, I don’t even care. Last night was exhilarating. Everything that her ex told her was b*llshit, because she could do anything with that athletic body of hers. After showering, I walk into the kitchen and saw Elm and Zephyr eating breakfast. “Hey, I told you would never wake up after last night.” Said Zephyr, teasing me. His eyes never even bother to look at me. The mother*cker is the worse workaholic that I have ever seen. But we owe him anything. He really is a business savvy, all the investment that he gave us is always worth double in just a couple of years. “Gosh, you saw us last night, huh?” I said, while having a smirk on my face. “Oh, pretty obvious, when the two of you just sneaking while giggling away like teenagers.” Zephyr scoffed while Elm almost choke on his cerea
The morning comes, and my hair got tangled everywhere. As I woke up, I heard someone groaning on my side, it was Elm, he was sleeping beside me and my hand just brushed into the stubble on his chin. He wiggled and I was giggling. When he opened his eyes, I kissed him slowly, “Good morning, my love.” I said it to him with an obvious smile on my face. Another person was groaning from behind me, his hand going and creeping out to my bare breast. “Hey beautiful, not you Elm.” Said Aaron from behind me. When I turn my head, he devoured my lips as if there was no tomorrow. “Fancy another one?” He doesn’t joke, as I feel his shaft already half erected in my bum. I pointed at the small bed on the other side, “What about Zephyr?” “No worries, I was ready.” Said Zephyr on the other bed. He jumps and goes to the big bed. “Now, where were we?” I was laughing at how enthusiastic they were. Elm settled on behind me, and as I kissed him, Zephyr’s hand already caressing my thigh. Aaron was settle
“We won, it’s over now.” Zephyr’s confirmation has just come to my realization, everything is over, but Hyacinth is gone. I was crying, even wailing, the three Alphas were flustered by my sudden tears. “Darling, what happened?” Zephyr asked me while Elm embrace me and tried to calm me down. Aaron was panicking, he was rambling, but the only thing I could do was shake my head and cried. After a while, I can finally calm down for a bit. “How are you feeling now?” They asked me while I wipe my tears. I took a deep breath and smiled. “Better now, sorry, probably because of how emotional I was after hearing the news, and also…” Don’t even know how to explain about Hyacinth, and just awkwardly went quiet. “She’s gone, right? Hyacinth, she is truly gone now.” It was Aaron who spoke, and my head turned to Elm. “I never said anything to them, they just knew, Cat.” Said Elm to me. “So, all this time, the three of you knew?” I asked them while my head went back and forth. Zephyr, Aaron,
Even Ivy seems flustered to see the Moon Goddess, I saw her bow to her, and I did the same. The Moon Goddess smile and raised her two hands. ‘Hear me, child, as the one who see all, and the one that granted all. This is just one of the things that I will continue to support.’ She took Ivy’s hand and kiss it. ‘She is the one that I have chosen, the one who guided the existence of the pack, as the Moon Goddess, I want you to take her side as she is the rightful owner of the power that I bestowed.’ And then her finger pointed at me. ‘She stole the power and has no right to wield it, as to how…” Before she could even finish her sentence, I punch the so-called Moon Goddess in the face. The audience was in shock, but the three Alphas then climbed the center stage. “Halt! We have the evidence that all of this is a ruse from Luna Ivy's side!” Aaron was screaming to the audience, while Elm tending to my wound. “Are you alright, sweetheart? I am sorry, but we need to wait for the witch to sp
The mansion of the Luminar family is what you called the building with historical significance. The old architecture dating back from the Victorian era is as impressive as the garden and the added building behind it. There are people in the garden and some designated party rooms inside this vast luxury mansion. “This is impressive, so they are what you consider as the old money, right?” I asked Zephyr who was holding into my hand, he turned his head and smile. “They are becoming this rich after the Luminar gained power, two hundred years ago.” He said to me while pointing at the painting in the grand room, the painting is hanging on the spaces right in the middle of the stairs. “That’s the Luna who supposedly gave the Luminar family their wealth and status. The great great grandmother of Hyacinth.” I look into the painting and saw a beautiful woman with chestnut hair and a smile on her face. This is probably the Luna who works together with the vampire queen. Both of them receive gl
“Ivy is here, with her two mates.” Like thunder just struck in my body, an adrenaline rush came rushing in. “What is she doing here?” I asked the three of them, not afraid, more like a curiosity on my side. “Did she want something?” “I don’t think so. She probably just wanted to observe us.” Aaron was calm, unlike the other two. Zephyr took a second glance at the guest room. “I don’t think so, they want to see something, they want to know how much backup that we have.” “Wait, almost all of our guests were in the dining room right now, what should we do?” Elm was making a lot of sense. Zephyr went quiet for a while and then said to Elm. “You go inside the dining room, and asked them to hide, take them to the underground shelter, right away.” He nodded his head and was almost gone when I call him again; I approach him right away and whispered. “Order the maids to clean the table except for our dinner plates. We don’t need them to count the plates, you know what I mean, right?” “O
“Nice to meet you, Missus Cattleya Hunt.” The old man named Reed Luminar is Hyacinth’s father. This is the first time I’ve met with one of the Luminar family, and now, I even met with Hyacinth’s real father. “Yes, Alpha, nice to meet you.” I’ve become accustomed to their title by now, and my eyes are already used to differentiate Alphas and Lunas from the others. “You probably wonder why I have her father here with us,” said Aaron towards me. I tell him the truth. “Yes, although, not really surprised by it.” “How about if we all sit down and have the discussion?” Zephyr led me into one of the chairs, he added a pillow for my back, which I am so grateful for. My back is killing me sometimes. The three alphas with Alpha Reed, sit around the chair with one big table, on the table I saw another enchanted map, I was fascinated by it and asked them immediately. “This one is different from the one we saw in New Orleans, right?” “Yes, Lia makes it for us, it is the map of the surroundin
(Cattleya) I feel so stuffy lately, probably because of the pups, although I was grateful that the morning sickness was practically gone now, but other discomfort comes and goes. My back begins to hurt and also had weird cravings that sometimes even my mates winced when they saw me eat. “Cattleya, are you done? We need to go in one hour.” Zephyr is calling me from the door. I shouted that I was packing my essentials, practically my new cravings, and shoved them inside my bag. He opens the door and chuckles. “Darling we can ask the maid to buy these foods there, you don’t need to pack everything.” “No, I don’t want the maids buying it for me.” I was pouting and pointing at the array of snacks on the bedside table. “They always messed up, one time I want some creamy butter ice cream, they bring back some butter ice cream. I want it creamy!” He raised his eyebrows. “Okay, whatever you want then. Now, if you’re finished with everything, how about you go downstairs and wait.” “I’ll go
(Zephyr) I saw Aaron come out from his room, glad he is already feeling better, burnout is a very damnest thing for us werewolves. “How are you feeling?” Asking this tall man while he walks into us. “Never been better, I must be so exhausted, got burnout for three days, this is the first time I need to be in bed because of burnout.” He rustled his damp hair and folded his hands on his chest. “You supposed to tell Cat that I will be fine after a few days though?” Elm winced at him. “She refused to leave your side; you know how stubborn she is.” And I couldn’t even give him a more good reason than what Elm gave. As I was laughing at him, I asked Xavier to look into the picture that I handed in his hand. “We need to stay there a week from now, I think I found the best place for our temporary hideout in the South, what do you think?” He looks at the pictures and laughed. “D*mn, Zephyr, I never knew that you have this kind of craziness in you.” “For her, I will do everything.” While m
(Aaron) My heart is pounding faster, and my whole body seems like hot coal from deep inside. I was burning, feels like I was been burned inside. This is the effect of a long-time transformation for me. Until, the feel of a cool cloth on my forehead. Opening my eyes, I saw Cattleya, wiping over my whole body with a waistcloth. “Kitty Cat, what happened?” I asked her and immediately a smile came on her face. “Oh, you finally wake up, you fainted, and we call the doctor, you got a burnout, too much time in your wolf form.” She told me, while still wiping over my body with icy water. “Is that icy water? How hot was I?” I asked Kitty Cat with curiosity in my mind. “Let’s just say, you need to be put in the icy bathtub for a while.” She winced while I can see visible black puffy eyes on her face. I get up immediately but got dizzy, she put me on the bed. “You need to rest, doctor already gave me full instructions, no rough activity for a few days.” “Your face.” My hand reaches into her
