~Alana~
Alana was chasing her breath. Her throat appeared so dry, she repeatedly gulped down her own spew. Walking through the hallway and on the stairs, she soothed the drumming inside her chest.
To say that she was nervous was an understatement. At that point, she was this close to having a heart attack.
“Mom, hurry up! Dad’s waiting for you.” Two steps ahead of her, Kai casually said with a smile, and that further made her heart restless.
“Kai, please stay behind me. I want to make sure you did not randomly let a stranger inside our house and claim him to be your father,” Alana scolded, her voice barely audible, hoping to keep the exchange between her and Kai.
Her son dismissed her worries. He chuckled at her mother’s assumptions and said, “I’m pretty sure he is my dad, mom. Besides, he said so himself.”
It was the most anxious walk she had ever made, all while making it into the kitchen of her

~Alana~ It was a good ten minutes that Alana rested her face against Alric’s broad chest and it was heavenly. In his arms, she felt at home, protected, and… uniquely, loved. Alana swore she must be going out of her mind. She was this close to deciding how she was falling in love with Kai’s father. How her feelings developed at such a rate was completely bewildering. After some time, Alric loosened his arms around her. With one arm remaining around her back, he cupped her chin and asked, “Feeling better now?” She nodded and smiled sheepishly. As her eyes wandered to her bed, she frowned and asked, “Alric, did - did you sleep on my bed?” A hiss left Alric’s lips but his expression turned mischievous when he revealed, “Yes, in fact… you came at my touch.” ‘Ahh!’ Her insides were screaming. How could she? She thought it was a dream, but apparently, it was real! ‘Did I really cum in my sleep?’ Her body stiffened and h
~ Alana~ Arriving at Bay International Academy, Alana was feeling apprehensive. She was biting her lip and frequently playing with her hair. The second the luxury car parked at the side of the school gates, she saw one of Kai’s classmates, Rob. His mother, Heather, was also there with him. She sucked in a breath, realizing her worries were real. She really did not like Heather. Rob and Kai were friends, but Rob’s mother was spiteful. She had always looked down on Kai for being an illegitimate child, and an unwealthy one at that. It worried her how Alric would react to Heather’s curt remarks. “Daddy, let’s go. Let me introduce you to my friend,” Kai said, while grabbing Alric’s wrist. Dean already opened the car, and the boy was ready to meet his friend. Alric, who had just taken a phone call, replied, “Give me a moment, son.” He gazed at Alana, giving an apologetic stare, as if silently asking for a minute on the pho
~Alric~ “Spell it!” Alric demanded. The veins on his neck swelled and his eyes showed only fury. “F - F - R - E - N - wait! Why am I doing this? And why are you so mean? I haven’t done anything?” Heather snapped and while she tried to act innocent, her forehead was sweating greatly. ‘How dare this woman belittle my son and my Luna? How could she judge without knowing what really happened?’ Earlier, while Alric was taking a call from the governor’s office, he could hear what Heather had to say about Kai and Alana. She even dared to assume how he was a bouncer! Werewolves' sense of hearing were very keen, especially for him, a pureblooded Valmore. Alric could not only hear whispers from a distance, but he could also sense the beating of their hearts. “I heard you earlier. You did not seem friendly. And especially not to my son!” Despite being out in the open, Alric’s voice echoed in the air and it rang repeatedly in Heat
~Alana~ “No. Sorry, mister! You are staying on the sofa downstairs,” Alana suggested while guarding the entrance to her bedroom. “Why?” Alric asked with his impressive arms folded against his chest, his long and wavy hair falling down to his broad shoulders. “I thought we already talked about trusting me.” Both had already changed into their sleeping wear, ready to rest for the night. Alana was in her usual silk nightgown, with a robe over her frame, whereas Alric wore a white tank top and pajamas from his waist down. Alric's attire showed off the muscles on his biceps and highlighted his lean abdomen, and that made Alana further uneasy. He was so sexy; she doubted if she could stand her ground. Alana raked her fingers through her hair, her words struggling to come out of her rims, “It - it isn’t just that.” Placing a hand on her chest, she explained, “I honestly feel I could trust you. Strange but true, however… I c
~Alric~ “Mister Valmore, you do not know how this investment will give many of our citizens jobs. Thank you for seeing the potential here in Bay City.” The governor turned to the reporters with a smile. He was proud of the deal he closed with the great CEO of The Valmore Group Of Companies. Alric, in his towering frame, looked down at the governor and extended his hand to him. He replied, “The pleasure is mine.” He also gazed at the cameras and, with his imposing expression, he spoke, “We look forward to identifying more business opportunities in Bay City in the future.” After signing the contract at the city governor’s office, Alric and his party rushed to return to the Emerald Bay Hotel. Preparations were underway for him to return, and the pack, back at the Port of Valmore, was missing their Alpha. Same as when they arrived, Alric and his men rode in a convoy. From Alric’s vehicle, he learned from Dean as he spoke in his
~Alana~ “Alric? What’s wrong?” Alana asked while they rode in the car to the destination of their special family dinner. “You have been silent the entire drive?” Her eyes wandered to his hands that had formed into fists for a good five minutes. Alana sensed, Alric was agitated. She just had to get some answers. “Yes, daddy? What’s wrong?” Kai echoed his mother’s worries, seeing his father constantly looking out the window. Alric smiled faintly, his eyes dull. His adam’s apple bobbed, suggesting he gulped before answering, “It’s nothing. Just something I need to deal with back home.” Inside the luxury Maybach, Alana was sitting beside Alric, and Kai was in front of him. Alric rumpled Kai’s hair and apologized. “I’m sorry, son. Your daddy is a busy man and sometimes, my mind is frequently thinking about business.” “It’s okay, daddy,” Kai replied with a smile, still over the moon of having found his father. 
~Alana~As the couple was trickling up the stairs to the restaurant, they covered the details of Alana’s previous treatment. While they had earlier raised their voices at each other, they came into a concession.Still, Alana was unsure if Alric became resolved. She was about to dig deeper when someone called her name.“Alana? What in the world are you doing here?” Her attention was directed to a girl with bobbed hair, her small arms clinging to yet another familiar fellow.It was her ex-friend and ex-boyfriend, Claire and Matt, perhaps out on a date. They were ten steps down from where she and Alric had already climbed.“What else, Claire? Plainly, for the same reason that you are here, to have dinner,” Alana replied, her voice serene, her eyes not wandering to Matt.“You? Have dinner here?” Claire snorted. She asked, “Can you afford it - Oh, wait. Did you
~Alana~ "Mister Valmore! We are sorry!" “Alana, please! Please tell your boyfriend it was a mistake!” “Alana, have pity on Lilith! It was my fault!” From the restaurant’s reception area, one could hear the cries of Lilith and Claire. Alric was so efficient in implementing his threat, the restaurant owner terminated Lilith outright. It did not even help that Lilith scorned Alana upon seeing her step into the entrance of Chateau Bay. As for Claire, Alana had no doubt Alric would follow through on his warning. It was only a matter of time. Alana’s ex-high school friends continued to plead, trying to get past security, hoping to win Alric’s forgiveness, but the man did not even bat an eye for them. Was she regretful? A big part of Alana was convinced, they had it coming. She never understood why Lilith and Claire made it part of their life to pick on her when she had done nothing to them. They
~Alric Valmore~Author LiLhyz: "Alric, how do you feel that your story has now come to an end?"Alric's eyes narrowed. He leaned back, caressing his chin before answering, "I am relieved. Finally, Lana and I can have more privacy when we go for seven to eight rounds."Author LiLhyz, thinking, 'Gosh, I'm sure going to miss a lot of snu.'~Lana Valmore~Author LiLhyz: "What are your plans now that the story has ended?"Lana, after hearing Alric's answer, bit her lip. She became distracted as she answered, "I'm going to support my children and play the role that they expect of me, a mother of all."Author LiLhyz: "That is a big role."Lana: "It is, but then again, my husband is bigger."Author LiLhyz's mouth fell on the floor. "What?"~Dean~Author LiLhyz: "Dean, how do you feel about not having so much weight in the story of Alric and Lana, I mean compared to Max? You are supposed to be the Beta."Dean: "Ewww... I'd rather be mute, not have any script than to be paired off to Geneva, eve
~Lana~ “Alric, what is this? Why are we even here?” Lana asked as they entered the arena of the Port of Valmore at eight in the evening. "Why are the lights off?" It was strangely so dark, that she could barely make out the bleachers. Guiding Lana at the center of the ring, Alric said while holding her hand, “I declare today and for the future years of this same day, Women’s Appreciation Day! The best part is, today is also your birthday!” “What? Where did you get this idea?” She asked, laughing in the night. “The pack, of course, especially the ladies who enrolled at the new school,” Alric revealed. “To start this event, we want to thank our dearest, Luna.” Last week, Lana opened up a new school, especially for women who wanted to learn how to cook, sew, and garden. The same school also would teach the basic techniques of how to care for young pups, care for the wounded, and learn to deal with family stress. She knew the w
~Author’s Narration~ Two years passed. “I pronounce you, husband and wife.” Applause could be heard, following the end of the mating ceremony between Lana’s aunt Lucille and her mate, Farkas. “Congratulations, aunt!” Lana cheered, smiling at her aunt. “Finally, Lucille, you tied the knot. I’m so happy for you!” Greeted Arabella and Gunner echoed the same. “Congrats, grandma,” Kai, now twelve, greeted with a smile. Lana’s twins, Lavender and Lilac said the same, both of them wearing the same purple clothes. They have recently turned four years old and were both very playful. Jayden was in his father’s arms, clingy as always, despite nearly turning three years old. Alric and his family, including Lana’s parents, visited the Hidden Mist Valley Pack once more, to celebrate the union of Lucille and her mate, an elder from the Blue Moon Pack, who now decided to relocate to the
~Lana~ Another year passed. “What are you doing there? Lying there like a stick? That is so not like Alpha of you!” Lana laughed, making her way to the bed and reaching for their baby boy. “He keeps snuggling on me and no matter how much I try to give him space, he finds his way to me.” He frowned, his body laying down, sideways. He reported, “Now, I don’t have any space in the bed for myself.” Lana continued to laugh and pointed, “You should have put him in his crib.” A groan left Alric’s lips. He rolled on his back and stretched his long and thick arms, saying, “Like that would work.” “Yes, I guess you are right.” Looking down at the sleeping baby, she confirmed, “This boy right here is a certified daddy’s boy.” Jayden, their fourth pup was nine months old, and he was a very clingy baby to Alric. They could not figure it out, but each time Alric was around, his little hands stretched to Alric automatically a
~Lana~ “Wife, you sure picked a good time to be in heat,” Alric said, hissing. His eyes narrowed at her, his tongue licking his own lips. He took a big whiff at the air around him and declared, “I bet you are dying to be fucked right now.” Lana was lying on their hotel bed, her body completely warm, her head filled with lustful thoughts of her husband. “I don’t know, Alric, but I can't help it...” Her eyes darted to the wall that divided them from Max’s room. She said, “Mia and Max are in the other room.” “So?” Alric said, taking off his shirt, and instantly, the display of his well-curved muscles made Lana's panties soak. “What do you mean, so? We are both so loud in bed!” She reminded, her face burning all the way to her ears. Before Alric could answer, however, they heard moans, loud ones, coming from the other room. “Oh, gods! Max - Ahh, that feels so good - Ahh!” The walls were so narrow, Lana and A
~Author’s Narration~ Loud shrieks and cries of pain came from one room of the packhouse, within the Cross River Pack. Everyone who lingered outside the room tuned in as Mia was beaten to a pulp by her own father. “How dare you bring trouble here? You should have warned your fated mate about our rules! You cannot leave this pack! Do you hear me!” Mathew screamed and what followed next were sounds of thuds against the wooden floor, glass shattering, and Mia's cries. The cries only stopped when nightfall came and Mia fell unconscious, on the floor. Despite her condition, her father nor her twin sister did not treat her wounds. Only Mark aided in her care, groaning as he wiped the blood off her skin. When mid-morning came the next day, Alpha Jasper was calling out loud from the kitchen, demanding food. “Where is Mia? She and her brother should be cooking right now.” Mia’s sister, Leslie, stepped into the dining area and pointed o
~Max~ Max never truly understood how the fated mate bond worked. He had seen Alric, Drake, and Dean become whipped in front of their mates, but he had always marveled if it was anything stronger than his feelings for Geneva. Many claimed it would. That was the purpose of the moon goddess to put two souls together, make them one in love. Now, standing in front of his fated mate, Max had finally recognized this to be true. He was completely thrilled, overwhelmed with joy, and, in fact, warmth spread throughout his body. His wolf was howling like crazy inside of him! Apart from satisfaction, lust engulfed him. He had been in front of many naked women before. That was always the case after shifting into their wolf form. Max had also seen Geneva fully naked, but this was different. The level of arousal he felt being in front of Mia was conquering. His brother down there did not, for a second, hesitated and simply became erected and it remained
~Alric~ “Alric, where is Max?” Lana asked while packing her things. Also packing hastily, Alric replied, “He is within the Cross River Pack. East to the Port of Valmore.” “But, I thought he left for another country?” Lana asked as soon as she stuffed the last of her denim jeans. “He did, but after going around from pack to pack from the neighboring countries, he realized, we never explored the small packs of Eastern Duran. And so, that was how he found himself at the Cross River Pack’s territory,” Alric explained, before revealing his inner happiness. "Lana, I've been waiting for this day." A smile became painted on his wife's face and she answered, "I know. I'm excited to see him too. “Are you ready?” He asked impatiently. “Ready,” said Lana. Her smile did not hide her elation. Immediately after arriving at the Port of Valmore, Alric left instructions for Dean to take care of the pack while he w
~Lana~ Over one year passed. Lana’s hands were up in the air. Her blue eyes turned white as ghosts, all while she chanted the words, commanding the waters to follow her bidding. As she did, her hair also changed into the color of her eyes. She was standing by the ports, with several elders of the pack, including Alric and Valencia, observing her perform the spell she had been mastering over the past eight days. Following the words that she recited, Lana gazed up to the moon’s bright light and pleaded for the water to rise. A gush of wind suddenly engulfed her and her skin crawled. Soon, she witnessed the wave rising and creating angry roars as it flowed into the canal. From behind her, Alric commanded, “Dean, tell them to turn on the pumps! Keep the water flowing!” For nearly an hour, Lana stood by the ports, controlling the movement of the seawater into the canal, the same that streamed to the Port of Valmore,
