Alpha groaned in his sleep as I pulled out the drawers to try to find my makeup items."Can you be more quiet?" He requested in a gentle tone."Sorry," I said, grabbing a few of my makeup purses and heading back to my old room so I could give him more time to sleep. I knew the event was by seven, but there was no way I would be ready if I started thirty minutes before that.I had barely sat in front of the dressing mirror when my mum walked into the room carrying a few bags with her.“Mum, what brings you here? I didn't expect to see you this early in the morning.""I figured you would want to get ready earlier, so I brought you some things to eat," she said with a smile.We hadn't fully discussed since I told her about the child. “Oh, thank you, you really didn't have to bother.""Do you feel okay?"I chuckled. "Mum, I'm fine. You're acting like I'm the first person to get pregnant. Relax."She went to stand behind me to assist with my hair, brushing it up while I put on some makeup.
"Oh my goodness, what are you doing here?" He was the last person I expected to see. I had completely forgotten about Cole; it was almost like he had been erased from my memory with everything else to do back with my old pack."Wow, you look so amazing," I told him, breaking out of my thoughts."I was just about to say the exact same thing about you. You look spectacular. Wow, after the attacks and everything went crazy, I contacted my aunt. She is a member of this pack because she married her husband, who is related to the alpha of the pack. So, they let me move in. They took me in as a pack member. I came here with my mom, and I've been here ever since. What about you?""Well, I also moved to a pack, Darkblood Park.""What? No way. I heard they never accept any wolf into their pack. They are the most secure pack in the territory.""Yeah, I'm the luna of that pack now.""What?! There's no way, you're kidding!""I'm absolutely not.""Wow, it's so good to see you again.""Really good t
Friday came a lot sooner than I had expected.It felt like a lot, knowing that the long-awaited game night was finally tomorrow.I had spent a lot of my time planning with Ava, Ari, and Sam. I had decided to set the three of them up as my planning committee, discarding the rest of the people that had volunteered in the first place."All right, Luna, let's go through all of the planning for tomorrow just to be certain that nothing goes wrong," Sam suggested, holding out a list that I had given to her.It wasn't even that hot in the office, but I was sweating from how stressed I was.I nodded in agreement."First of all, we are going to introduce all the packs that are present. After that, we'll section the activities into youth, grown adults, and like you said, some people will be there to guide the children so they can have fun while involving themselves in children’s games," Sam read out."Okay, and Ava, are you certain that everyone got the invitation? Did anybody turn anything down
The next day, most of our guests started to show up in the morning. I didn't think about how I would have to greet each and every single one of them individually. I had a smile plastered on my face the entire day, to the point where my cheeks started to hurt, but I had to keep it up. Thankfully, Alpha was there to assist me. Most of the packs kept singing praises of how privileged they were to be invited to the sacred Dark Bloodpack for such an event, and I truly felt on top of the world with all of their compliments, but still.I was in a casual sweatshirt and denim shorts, sitting in the events room to check how things were going with the girls when Alpha pulled my hand and led me behind one of the walls of the packhouse. There was barely any space, so I was basically pressed against his chest while he had his hands pinned above my head."You're stressing yourself too much for my liking. Don't you have people that can do these things for you?" he asked. "You’re Luna, for a reason. Y
I immediately pushed Cole away from me and turned to face Alpha. "It's not what it looks like at all, I promise."I was yet to process it myself, but I just wanted to defend whatever thought he could be happening.I expected him to go on and start throwing punches at Cole, but instead, he turned around and walked away from us. It was the first time I would see him react that easily to someone kissing me. And it was even annoying to think that this was not the first time it was happening.I immediately tried to follow him, attempting to grab his wrist, but he avoided my touch."Alpha, I..." He put his hand up to stop me from talking and just continued to walk away.I stood there, in shock, and then frowned deeply. I turned around to look at Cole , and he was scratching the back of his neck nervously. "I am so sorry. I don't know what came over me. It's probably the alcohol-"Not giving him a chance to finish explaining himself, I slapped him hard across the face. "Have you lost your d
I opened my eyes after feeling so much tension on both my wrists. I realized that my hands were tied to two strong poles with what seemed like very strong ropes.It took a moment, but I was able to focus my blurry vision, and I saw that there were about five men standing in front of me, all whispering and murmuring over each other."Who are you people, and what do you want?" I said after realizing that they had me tied on my knees. I had no recollection of what happened but I knew that after smelling the wolfsbane on them, one of them had put a bag over my head. My voice caused them all to stare in my direction."You've finally regained consciousness." One of them said sharply. "What do you want?" I raised my voice, struggling to pull free from the bondage they had kept me."Who's in charge here? Who's your boss? Let me talk to them." I couldn't wrap my head around why anybody would want to abduct me. I had nothing special.Of all things, I should have known that this event would tu
Kaden"Alpha, we got your call," Sonya was the first to arrive, with Clarion trotting after her just a few minutes later.I placed one hand on my hip and the other one on my forehead. "She's gone again, and I can smell wolfsbane. I found a little bit of it around, so someone definitely abducted her."Sonya sighed in defeat."What is the instruction for what should we do?" she asked me."I obviously have to set out for her, so I'm hoping that you two will come.""There is no need, Alpha."I turned to look at Sonya, expecting her to panic. But she seemed perfectly fine."Alpha, you go with Clarion, and I'll stay back to watch the pack in case anybody tries to pull up something. Just make sure you find her and she's fine.""You're not worried?"She added a sigh. "If I get worried every single time, I don't think I'll ever recover. And you always seem to do a good job bringing her back. I know you'll find her safe. If someone abducted her, they probably want something. They will not harm
**Talie's POV**I felt the familiar presence of the red wolf, and immediately, she took over my body. I managed to break free from the bondage that they had kept me in and got to my feet.The warriors that she had been with her immediately backed away, all of them staring at me in confusion.But after a second, they seemed to come to their senses, and one after the other, they kept trying to hit me with whatever instrument they had in their hands. But the strength of the red wolf was much stronger, and she was able to dodge every single hit. Her eyes focused on no one but Luna Mint."What on earth is happening?" Luna Mint asked one of her men."I'm not sure, Luna," he called back."What are you doing just watching? Tie her back down!"The first man attempted to take my hand and tie it. I immediately took his wrist, tightened my grip, and squeezed his hands behind his back. He let out a deafening scream, and I caught a glance of Luna Mint's face, and she looked like she had just seen a
