Episode 3

Dina's POV

Alpha Whadh? So that is his name?

"Yes, Luna. That is the name of our Alpha. The Alpha of fifteen werewolf packs."

Okay, for one; how is it that he knew what I was thinking? Staring cautiously at him while the other werewolf seriously picked the berries, I followed him as he crouched down and brushed off dried grasses off a surface. Beneath, there was a large grate that glistened when Frat placed his palms on it, shutting his eyes. As a gush of wind poured out through the darkened hole the second the grate lifted from the ground, I shielded my eyes.

"Wow!" It slipped out of my mouth as I gradually opened my eyes to that soft light with many fireflies swirling around joyfully.

It was incredible.

When I thought I had seen enough, we swam; all the way down. The taste of the colorful flickering lights was enough to keep me full for days.

"What is this place? Aww, just look at those tiny fireflies!" My lips stretched so wide that I thought it would tear.

"Be careful, mate."

My senses returned when I bumped into that… oh Lord! My mouth watered. There was no way this was real.

"Can I touch things?"

That warm, fierce eyes ran over my body. "Exactly what, Dina?" His raw, deep voice resharpened my heart.

The joy in my pounding heart knew no bound.

"I want to know if it is real this time."

"Wait!" Softly grabbing my arms, my eyelids fluttered, and I could feel the hotness gathered in my cheeks. "Let me dismiss my beta, then you can touch all as you want."

Biting my lip, I watched his eyes shifting from me to Frat who stood by the door behind us. When I stole glances at his smooth face that looked as if it was delicately carved by the famous artist at Kentha, my heart danced. That silent laugh dancing across his lips, caught my eyes and I craved more for it not to end.

"You may leave, Frat."

"She is human, Alpha. Are you–"

"Frat?"

"Yes, Alpha."

"Allow my Luna to touch certain parts, then we can discuss fully. But only when she's done."

"Of course Alpha. I'll excuse you now." Frat glanced at me, then exited the Alpha's chamber.

Chewing my nails, I shifted my gaze to meet the Alpha's eyes, but then he locked them there.

"Do not break that neck, Luna." He placed his hand on the back of my neck, then led me to his bed that was bigger than all our beds combined. "Sit and touch."

"This is a soft bed… Alpha."

"You can call me Whadh. With you, we don't need to be formal." He touched my cheek and I jerked as the slight cold bit me. "And yes, the bed is soft. It's all for your comfort."

"Why am I really here? What do you mean by Lu–?"

"Shh!" Pressing his finger against my lip, Whadh bent me slightly towards his chest and glanced at my back.

When he touched it, I winced.

"I'll give you your first gift now."

"Wh–oww!"

He bit me hard.

"Why did you do–" My mouth hung open as my eyelids fluttered. "I feel great, Alpha!"

Just like magic, I felt a big relief, not just my back but my whole body. When I reached behind, the thick swelling had vanished.

"Wow! It's all gone!"

"Of course."

"What did you do to it, Alpha?"

Picking the tiny smiles plastered over his face, my heart beat loudly when he gave me a kind of familiar look. Just one person that looked at me in such a way, as if I was a steaming meal served in front of him.

"Stay still, my Luna."

"Why do you always call me that?

"Because you're mine."

"How? Did Father give me to you as a wife, that was why he sent me here? To come do… bed things with you? Father is weird like that though."

"Bed things?"

Averting my eyes from his addicting face, I nodded. "Mm-hmm. We know what Father and Mother does in their room every night, on the bed."

"You watch your parents while they make love?"

The surprise leaking from his voice touched me. My head snapped at once. "We don't watch! We only, you know… see things when my little brother rushes in… when he cries for Mother at night."

He grunted softly, shifting lightly as he closed the little space between us. "I see…" His arms snaked around my waist.

"Alpha?"

"Yes, my Luna?"

"I don't think this is right?"

My heart jumped faster when he pulled me onto his lap. Flashes of the tight warnings from my mother and father swooped in.

"You're my chosen mate. So it is right."

"But my parents won't like any man going there… today." As I nervously glanced up at him, my bottom lip got dragged in between my teeth.

"They won't have a choice after I'm done marking you. I'm a werewolf after all, and an old one at that. Your parents are babies when we're measured."

That was it.

When he flipped me onto the bed, before I could get used to the softness of the freshly made bed, he quickly pressed his body onto mine. My new back buried deeply in the mattress.

"Alpha…?"

When the awkwardness kicked in as I felt the tickling all over my body, mostly my neck, I had to do something. It was weird feeling him on top of me.

"Stay still, Dina! I need to mark you as mine." That deep voice penetrated softly into my ear.

"Thank you for the berries but… but I must go now. I don't like you licking there like my uncle does sometimes."

The hot actions stopped the moment the last word spilled from my mouth. Breathing hard, my wet eyes searched for his face, and when I found it, I swiftly averted my gaze.

His face was dark, unlike the bright one I met when I came in.

"Did you report this to your parents? What did they say?"

"I didn't say anything because my parents wouldn't have believed me anyway. They never take me seriously."

"They will after today."

When he pushed his body off mine, I caught the heavy wood between his thighs, pointing at me. A huge lumb dropped down my throat as I forgot to take my eyes with me.

"Say the word and we will go right back on the bed."

"The bed? Why?" My gaze finally broke. Then it shifted up to Whadh's face.

He yanked me against his body, and a gasp escaped my mouth. "You're my Luna for a reason. You see this manhood?"

My gaze dropped down when he touched. It was so hard to keep a sane mind right there.

"What happened to it, Alpha Whadh?"

"You woke it the minute I laid eyes on you while I searched for my mate in different dreams."

"How?"

"Stay close and feel the hotness you passed on." He leaned next to my ear. "I bet you're wet yourself."
