"I'm here", Tyra mumbles on entering the kitchen and Stacey turns from what she was doing briefly to smile at her before continuing to work. "So what can I help with?" "Well, you can peel the potatoes on that cabinet" "Okay", Tyra cheerily replies and moves to do as instructed. "I'm sorry about today's accident", she speaks up after a while of silence. "It's not like it was your fault", Stacey shrugs. "Well, it actually isn't. It's still kind of embarrassing though, I just met Castor and you, and everyone then suddenly this" "Does it happen frequently though?", Stacey asks after a pause. "I have upsurges on moonless nights and every now and then but today's episode was particularly strong. I've never had such a strong outburst since learning to suppress my powers" "So before learning to suppress your powers, this kind of outburst happened on every day you had outbursts?" "On moonless nights, yes. My upsurges also happened more frequently back then", Tyra replies. "So why don
Varus paces about Richard's study with a large frown on his face. Richard is sitting on his chair in the office also seeming pensive but not as much as Varus was. "I don't why you're refusing to arrange a meeting to discuss getting Gabriella back", Varus complains. "I can't request for a meeting with the Alpha Supreme's son, that would mean I'm admitting defeat", Richard argues. "Then do it! This bid of yours to become the Alpha Ultra was not going to work anyway" "It would have worked if she didn't get mated to him" "Well, she did. If you were so capable of being the Alpha Ultra, then why didn't you get elected by the werecouncil in the first place?", Varus retorts. "Do you think the Alpha Supreme would choose someone else over his own son?", Richard challenges. "It's not like it was his personal decision, there were twenty-six Alpha Ultras and two aides of the Alpha Supreme in the werecouncil apart from the Alpha Supreme" "But his vote counted as five votes and each vote of
Varus is the first recover from his shock after Marvin's declaration and he immediately clears his throat. "Surely you don't mean that", he stammers and Marvin chuckles. "Actually yes, I do. My pack is a young and fast developing pack, there'll be opportunities for us to be an ultra pack in the future if we work hard. I don't mind having the position of Alpha Ultra in addition to my position as Alpha of Moonstone pack but if you have anything interesting to offer, I would be very willing to handover my position to you" "Em... There's emm... I could offer you my daughter of course", Richard stammers. "I don't want to force my relationship with your daughter, Alpha Stone, but if I had the desire to, I could just storm your pack whenever I like and take her away. I could have even kept her with me the two times she visited my home" "I could make you your pack the second-in-command to mine" "I'm already first in the dominance hierarchy of this province", Marvin reminds Richard
Several days later, all the inconveniences caused by the fire in the pack have been forgotten and plans for the launching are uppermost in the minds of everyone. Marvin is sitting in his new office, planning how best to complete all the requirements they were to meet before the launching when there is a knock at the door. "Come in," he answers, without looking up from his desk and Trevor walks in with his usual cheery countenance. "I really love the outside view from this new office of yours, it really is the best office in the building", Trevor praises. "As it should be", Marvin smiles. "Someone is being boastful" "Someone is liking another man's office better than his", Marvin fires back and both men laugh. "So, I have some documents for you to sign," Trevor announces once they have put aside their mirth and drops a folder on Marvin's desk. "I'm getting tired of having to sign so much paperwork", Marvin groans. "This is going to be the story of your life till you're old a
Marvin is about to sigh when he realizes his wolf was not affected at all and pauses. He had felt the loss of his previous mate the moment he lost her even before finding out she was gone but his wolf was surprisingly unaffected this time. Getting rejected probably wouldn't be as painful as the death of a mate but at least he ought to feel something. "Damn!", he suddenly hears Gabriella say followed by a long groan and his eyes light up in worry. "I don't want him! I don't want him! Just take him away already!", she screams and he smirks realizing his speculation was right. "I guess the moon goddess wants us to be together by all means," he shrugs and she screams again. "Calm down, Gabriella! People are beginning to stare at us." "What do I care?", she retorts and begins storming out of the restaurant. Marvin immediately stands to his feet and drops some cash on the table then hurries after her. "Sir, your order is here already!", a waitress yells as he leaves while dropping a
A group of men sit in a conference room all talking informally and completely relaxed since their head was yet to arrive. Majority of the men were quite advanced in age but there were also specks of younger men. However, the men of different ages were all comfortable with one another since they met often. It was the last Friday of the month, the usual meeting day for the werecouncil of the US where the state of all werewolf packs and provinces were discussed with the Lord of all werewolves and their Alpha Ultras, the Alpha Supreme. The large doors of the room are suddenly flung open from outside and everyone silences as the herald walks in. "Welcome the Alpha Ultra of Moonstone province consisting of the packs of Wisconsin and Illinois states, Alpha Marvin Hale", the herald announces and a young man walks into the room. "If it isn't the newest Alpha Ultra," one of the men chuckles once the door is closed leaving the Alpha Ultras alone once again. "It's awfully weird to see you
"Greetings, Alpha Supreme", the leader of the troop that had just burst into the conference room greets. Marvin immediately relaxes on hearing the voice and sighs. It was a woman, a very thuggish smelling one though, but certainly a woman. "Do you realize that you have just committed a crime against your Alpha Supreme by barging into this place?", Jonathan snarls and the leader laughs. "I am Gabriella Stone, daughter of the Alpha of the Red Moon pack in Green Bay, Wisconsin. My father said to send his regards", she introduces. "Do you think it's appropriate to speak to your Alpha Supreme when he can't even see your face?", Magnus asks in a calm tone having figured that she had to be Marvin's new mate. "My apologies", she sighs and signals her subordinates to take off their helmets. Once their helmets are off, she turns back to face the members of the werecouncil and gently takes her own helmet off making her light brown hair fall out. Marvin watches as she takes off her helme
Marvin inhales on getting to the exit of the building where the werecouncil was meeting. It was the headquarters of Havillah Industries, a company that was always controlled by the Alpha Supreme of the US since several generations. His wolf has been weirdly calm ever since they laid eyes on their new mate, Gabriella probably just as shocked as Marvin was about their new mate. She was extremely beautiful even with how stoic she acted and managed to stir his loins which he wasn't sure if it was an effect of the mate bond or if he truly found her attractive. 'But she is so different, she's not like...', Marvin is thinking when pain coursed through his veins like a fresh stab to his heart. 'I thought you promised not to think about that again', he reminds himself and sighs. "Damn it Marvin, why are you nervous?", he growls. 'Why wouldn't you be nervous when a mere lady was able to command you and your wolf after an entire life of being in control?', his mind argues. "She didn't

Castor kicks the door of his room shut behind him after walking pass with Tyra in his arms and moves to the bed to drop her. Once he drops her on the bed, he walks to his wardrobe just as quickly and picks out a t-shirt and sweatpants. "I hope it won't be too big on you", he mutters as he drops the clothes on the bed with his eyes averted. "I'll head out so you can dress up" Tyra exhales once he was out of the room and picks up the clothes he had dropped. They were almost falling off the bed since he hadn't been looking when he dropped them. "My brothers weren't even half as neat as this", she chuckles on seeing how tidy the room was while looking around but her smile soon freezes at the memory of her family. She quickly shoves aside the thought and goes back to thinking about Castor instead. She found it impressive that his eyes hadn't lingered on her body even for a moment while bringing her in. He had also been calm and caring all along and was even the Alpha's ward from wh
Castor's mouth falls open as he watches his mate transform into a column of fire. A huge ball of fire suddenly emanates from her and lands metres away, digging a huge crater into the ground. The guards are already rushing to put off the fire when another fireball lands few metres beside the first one. "Stand down, we don't know if she's done yet!", Marvin yells out loud and into a mindlink with the guards, not wanting anyone to claim not having heard the order. The fire around Tyra's body begins to wane making her body outline visible after the release of the second fireball while everyone watches in silence. "I think she's done", Gabriella sighs and Castor immediately runs towards her. "Castor, wait!", she yells just as quickly but he is already at Tyra's side catching her as she is about to fall to the ground. She was now in human form once again with her hair no more glowing but completely naked as even though the fire couldn't hurt her, her clothes couldn't be spared. Everyo
The shrieking cry of a baby pierces the air and Gabriella shifts annoyedly on the bed she lay on. She turns about for a while before finally sitting up with a frown. "Why won't that child just shut up and sleep?", she complains grouchily in a sleepy tone just as realization dawns on her. There was only one place she had slept in her entire life where a child had interrupted her sleep by crying loudly in the night. "Damn Gabriella, how are you here in Marvin's home again?", she reprimands herself. "How come that child is even back home?", she snorts just as her memories suddenly come back to her in a flash making her groan. "To think that I'm the one that brought up the idea of adding more wolfsbane to the dart mixture so that it would be more effective. Look how long you've been unconscious now", she chuckles as she remembers getting shot. 'Is it possible for me to make my way out of here before daybreak?', she wonders and looks out of the window only to see that it was already
"What do you mean by what I am supposed to do?" "You know what I'm talking about, Marvin", Stacey fires back. "You can't just tell me to reject my mate just she makes you all feel uncomfortable" "Then just don't bring her to our home, don't even bring her to the pack if possible until you've straightened things out with her", Irvin deadpans. "I wouldn't even want to see her even then after what she has already done", Stacey mumbles and everyone stares at her. "Why do you hate her so much anyway?", Irvin frowns. "I don't take people who mess with my family lightly", she responds. "Marvin, you have to make a decision on this" "You all know my decision. I will try to protect everybody the best I can but I can't send her away. I will deal with her properly once the launching is over, I promise" "No Marvin, deal with her now. Once she wakes up, confirm what her priorities are even though they are quite obvious and make her know she's on her own if she goes against us again", Trevo
