~Alana~
Her eyes opened to the view of pointed pines and bright skies. Woodsy scent surrounded her, along with that musky damp aroma. She recognized that she was already in the middle of the pine forest, and based on how their plans were meant to be enforced, she assumed they were somewhere down south.
She felt strong arms holding her upper body as she lay on the ground. Alana’s gaze fell on Dean, who was holding up a liquid potion within a glass tube.
“Alana, drink this. This is a healing potion Valencia had made. It will help you get back your strength from the wolfsbane poisoning,” Dean said while raising her head. “Careful.”
Her eyes narrowed at the glass tube. She recalled how Valencia had already made the said potion ahead of time, anticipating that Greyson would use the same poison in implementing his ploys. It would not have been put into use if Ace, or whoever, was involved, did not move their plans forward.
She forced her
Thank you for waiting. I know. I know it's a cliffy, and we are gonna have to bear until Monday, but I promise you, next week, there is a badass wolf that will be introduced. Any guesses? What do you think will provoke this wolf to come out? The next chapter is on Monday. Sundays I'm off. Thanks, lovelies.
~Alana~ ‘I want everyone to be on the lookout for my son, Kai. He has been taken from school by force! Several instructors at the gymnasium were passed out and wounded, a few killed! My uncle Greyson did this! To Greyson and his men, let this be a warning to you! The whole pack is looking for you! Don’t you dare touch my son and that little girl you have with him!' Alana heard Alric mind-link with the entire pack. She looked ahead and saw how Alric was nearly out of her sight. Her jaws trembled as tears stung her eyes. She was holding on to Dean’s wolf for dear life while he ran like the wind, following Alric and Max. Alric had to sprint ahead, and Alana understood. She would slow him down when there was a dire need to find their son. After getting a hint from Ace, Alric mentally connected with all the employees at Kai’s school. Their fears were confirmed when they learned how Kai was taken by Greyson’s men and they dared take a young girl
~Alric~ Alric could not help but be angry with himself. How could he have not seen this coming? But then again, the enemy’s plans have changed, and they were taken by surprise at how early they had lured Alana. ‘Alpha, we are under attack here at the eastern borders! It - it’s all Greyson’s men - ‘ The connection with the pack warriors guarding the eastern borders was cut short, and Alric knew why. Clearly, his men were under attack! With an imposing growl, the Alpha ordered all of his men to their latest lead and, as he darted in the same direction, he tried relentlessly to call for his son. ‘Kai? Where are you? Are you safe? Be safe for me and your mother, son. Be safe.’ It was a long run, but Alric made it in just half an hour. With his speed and desire to save his son, he felt unstoppable. Max was behind him immensely, but he knew his Gammas would eventually catch up. As he blazed, a few warrior packs followed his
~Alana~ It had been a while since Alana recognized her discomfort. Her body was changing and she could not deny it. She was aching all over, sensing her body expanding in each second that passed. Her nails were elongating, and she had been growling like the wolf that she was. Some changes were obvious to her, but she was unaware of what other transformations were happening to her. Not long before, she ultimately found her son. He was being carried by the mouth of a wolf whom she did not recognize, but she could only assume it was Greyson. The wolf had dark brown fur with gray streaks on his back. She saw how Alric was not too far, being circled by two wolves, undoubtedly ready to fight. She did not have enough time to assess the situation further, for the next thing she saw was how the said wolf tossed her son to the ground like he was nothing but garbage. Fury quickly overcame her, and she sensed her blood shooting up in her head. She ran as fast
~Alric~ Embracing each other tightly, Alric repeatedly pecked on Alana’s face. Kai also joined in their hug, crying. Alric understood how Kai was relieved at being saved. Repeatedly, he kept calling their names, asking if it was really over. “It’s okay, son. Everything is okay now. You are safe,” Alric assured him. "Remember, daddy will always come to your rescue and now that Mommy's wolf is out, she will always protect you like she did earlier today." He turned to Alana and pecked on her lips, saying, “As for you. Didn’t I tell you we were mates?” Alric was certain Alana was crying for both reasons. She was happy that Kai was safe, and she also felt the same way - the connection, the bond between them now, as their wolves claimed each other as their fated mates. All the wait. After the many decades of search, and endeavors they both underwent, it was finally clear now that they were meant to be together.
~Alana~ The second they entered Alric’s room, the couple frantically took off their clothes, their lips frequently crashed together. There was no denying it, they were on fire! “Fuck,” Alric hissed, while his hands kneaded on Alana’s breasts. His amber eyes glowed to a near gold as he lowered his nose to the slope of her shoulders. He took a deep whiff and claimed, “I am going to bite you - mark you for sure! You are mine. Fuck, you are so mine.” Alana chuckled. Her eyes looked down at his large hands that massaged her breast. She said, “Yes, get over it already. I’m all yours and you!” Her finger traced the curve of his muscles and claimed, “You are mine!” She did not know where her boldness was coming from, but she did not care. He was hers, and she was sure of it now. No more doubts. And because of that, she will, from now on, whole-heartedly enjoy what belonged to her, Alric being at the top of her list. “What the!” Alric cou
~Lana~ *** FLASHBACK: NINETEEN YEARS AGO *** “Hiya! Hiya!” Lana, regardless of her small and young frame, was boldly blocking her friend’s attacks. She managed to hold her pretend opponent down by pulling his forearm, and she struck his back with the use of her elbow. Quickly, she dashed to the other side while maintaining her grip on the boy, and with her strong leg, she kicked on his back. “Hiya!” “Good girl, Lana! As expected of my future Alpha,” a man with a great physique, with golden-brown hair and beautiful blue eyes like Lana’s, praised. The man then formed an apologetic frown before he turned to the boy and said, “Sorry, Reeth. You’ll make a good Beta for Lana.” “It’s okay, uncle Gunner. I will serve Lana with everything I have,” said the boy named Reeth. He smiled at Lana and said, "Good job, Lana." His words left the young Lana speechless, but soon, she laughed and claimed, "We’ll always be friends, Reeth." “La
~Lana~ “Speak to me.” After a gentle kiss on her face, Lana’s watery eyes opened at the sight of Alric.“Please tell me what’s going on.” After Lana’s memories came rushing back, she jerked awake, crying and screaming at the top of her lungs. She hasn’t spoken since, even after changing into her clothes. It worried Alric how she had not uttered a word that he sought for Valencia. Lana was brought to Alric’s study with Elenor and Valencia, observing her state. “Alana, here. I made a soothing tea for you. It will help you relax. I can feel your heart jumping erratically,” suggested Valencia, as she handed Lana the cup of tea. She silently accepted the tea and slowly finished it all down. Alric was now sitting beside her, his arms protectively circling around her frame. He said, “Alana, please. Please speak to me.” “Lana," she faintly corrected. “What?” He asked while his brows met.
~Lana~ “Let me see your mark,” Lana’s aunt requested, her hand nearly taking off her tunic. Lana could not help but flush profusely as she said, “How did you know?” Her aunt nearly snorted, and she replied, “Werewolves. I’m pretty sure they would not take long to mark their mates upon their recognition.” After marveling at Lana's mark, Lucille turned to Alric, who was sitting behind Lana. She said, “Thank you for taking care of Lana and Kai. Had I known you were the same person who had gotten Lana pregnant, I would not have hidden her scent from you.” “Of course, they are my family. I will do anything for them,” Alric replied, his eyes narrowing at Reeth, and low growls left his lips, as if ready to lunge at Lana's friend. After having met her aunt Lucille, Alric brought their guests to the Valmore home. Reeth, Lana’s childhood friend, was also introduced as one of the leaders of the rebellion at the Hidden Mist Valley Pack
~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,
