~ Cameron/Constantine ~
Victoria lifted her head to meet my eyes. Her eyes were wet with tears, and her lips quivered. I kissed her eyelids and embraced her fragile body.
“Don’t cry, my darling. I can’t promise you anything. But I’ll treat you right.” I kissed her hair. “Now, get rest. I must meet my father to discuss what we should do with the Hurricane Dawn Pack.”
Victoria nodded. Then I wiped her tears one more time. She looked gorgeous, although crying. I could understand why I loved her in the past life. Our lovemaking was great. She was warm and understanding, but I think there was more about her. I needed to find out what made me fall for her.
“If you want to take a bath first, go ahead. At dawn, I have done it
The Elders left the Great Assembly room. Finally, I could get out and enjoy the time with Victoria again. But when I stood, my father shook his head.“Father?”“Sit down. I want to talk with you.”I sat again, waiting for what he would say.“Why haven’t you told me anything about Anna?”“I don’t want to give any problems to her.”“Do you think I would hurt her?”I said nothing, as I couldn’t predict what my father would do. If I said yes, it might offend him. If I said no, I needed to give him any good reasons I didn’t tell her about Victoria.
“Shut up!” Jack punched my arm lightly. His face was annoyed, but then he chuckled. “She is something. What do you think about her?”“Melanie?”“No, the princess of nowhere. Of course, Melanie.”I laughed at his sarcastic remark. “That’s why Melanie is my woman’s best friend.”“Your woman.” Jack touched his chin. “The annoying Omega? What is her name?” He patted his chin. “Ah, Anna! Anna Warren.”“Why do you say Anna is annoying? She is sweet, warm, and lovable. So, I can say she’s the opposite of annoying.”“Are we talking to the same person?&r
I visited Nate’s house, and no one opened the door when I knocked on the door. So, I opened the mind link. ‘Nate, where are you?’ ‘Hey, Cam, I’m at the food storage.’ ‘What are you doing there?’ I frowned, as the food storage was not Nate’s territory. ‘I walked around there to see the Lambdas and the Kappas worked. But, unfortunately, they don’t have enough people to help.’ Lambda is the hunter, while Kappa is Lambda’s leader. I let out a sigh. ‘We can distribute the Nus and the Xis to help there.’ Nu is the sentry of the pack whose role is to find natural resources for the pack. At the same time, Xi is a subordinate of Nu. ‘They are out to find herbs and vegetables.’ ‘I’ll be right there.’ I closed the mind link and headed toward the food storage. What Nate said was true. We lacked people to help here. As I walked fast, Nate turned his body and grinned. “Hey, Cam, great to see you.” “I need to talk to you, but let’s finish things here first.” The Kappas organized the Lamb
“Anna Warren? She is an Omega in our pack.” I was quiet for a while, considering if I should share about my past life. “I know her, but I have never seen you near her.” Nate frowned for a few seconds. “Wait a minute, yes, I have seen you observing her. You like her, don’t you?” I didn’t know what I should say since there was an unexplainable tug in my heart whenever I saw Anna/Victoria, even before I knew our past lives. She was pretty, and her body was curvy, fit for me, but there was something else. Maybe it was our soul bond from the past life. “Well?” Nate asked since I didn’t reply. “She is pretty, and no werewolves will deny how sexy she is. But I have a bond with her, which is hard to explain.” “Mate-bond?” I wanted to deny it since I didn’t know for sure about that, but considering we had marked each other in the past life, I finally nodded. “Yes.” “Then why didn’t you approach her? We all were shocked when she stood and asked to stop the marking ceremony.” Nate shook
I prepared the Great Assembly room and contacted the Elders, Nate, Jack, and my father. Then I entered the room with Victoria. All eyes glanced at Victoria as it was rare to see an Omega included in an important event like this. My father called Nate and me, then asked the rest to create a circle surrounding us. “It’s a fortunate event that Nathanael Thorn joined our pack twenty years ago. Since then, he has proved himself a great man and Cameron’s best friend.” Nate kneeled before my father. “It’s an honor for me to be your pack member, Alpha.” “Please arise, Nate.” “Thank you, Alpha.” Then my father looked around. His stare stopped at Jack. “Jack, my son, please know that our family will have another member today.” Jack gaped for a second. He glanced between Victoria and me; his forehead was creased. But he said nothing and waited for my father to continue. “With all who will witness it today as Cameron, my son, requested, I’ll lead the ceremony to have Nathanael as my son.
~ Victoria/Anna ~I didn’t expect a miracle to happen overnight, yet it hurt to hear such a harsh rejection from Constantine’s father. I didn’t cower under the Alpha’s scrutiny with his sharp, cold eyes. Constantine has his father’s eyes too. Instead of trembling, I nodded and bowed my head a little. “I understand, Alpha Horace. I know you won’t believe nor value my love for Cameron, but I will prove to you I deserve to be with him.”Alpha Horace raised his chin. “Oh? How?” He sneered and shook his head. “You’re only bluffing. The easiest way to prove it is to leave him. It’s the best for everyone.”“I can’t do it, Alpha.”“Why? Because you are pregnant with his pup?”I was startled to hear that. Then, instinctively, I placed my hand on my stomach. “I ….”Alpha Horace sighed, then he said, “Follow me.” He glanced at Constantine. “You too.”Both of us followed Alpha Horace, leaving the Great Assembly and entering his house. It is a grand house with a black fence, white wall, and gray
Here is the list of werewolf ranks I use in this story and maybe in the upcoming stories too:1. Alpha (the pack leader). Usually, a pack has only one or two Alpha at maximum. If there are two Alpha, they are the leader and his mate (Luna). The Alpha is the strongest and most influential in the pack. Alpha makes sure all pack members are safe and fulfilled. 2. Beta (second-in-command). Beta is the vice leader of the pack. When Alpha is not present in the pack, the duty to take care of the pack falls on the Beta. Usually, the Beta is the one who is the most trusted by the Alpha. 3. Gamma (Elder). Gamma is usually the senior of the pack. The pack respects them because of their wisdom and special ability. Retired Alpha usually will serve as Gamma. 4. Delta (the messenger). Delta is the one who sends messages to other packs. Therefore, they have to build good relationships with other packs. Because of this role, the Delta can significantly influence other packs and be a threat to the p
I expected Kenneth, or what was his name now?—Michael, Michael Wolfie—would bang on the door, but nothing so far. I exhaled and threw myself on the bed. It was an exhausting day. Meeting with Constantine’s father was difficult. I knew he wouldn’t allow Constantine and me to be together. But it was a mild reaction. Did I still have a chance?I might be asleep for a few minutes. However, when the door opened. I sat immediately, worrying it might be Michael who barged in. It was dark already. Maybe it was night now. But as my eyes spotted my lover at the door, I smiled. “Hey, handsome.”Constantine grinned, threw himself on the bed, and grabbed my waist. Later, he kissed my lips. “Hey, beautiful. Miss me already?”“Not at all! I was asleep.”“Really?” He frowned. “Maybe you should go back to your room then.”I circled my hands to his neck. “Cranky.” Then I peppered kisses on his jaw and neck. “Rough day?”“Well, yes and no. Do you want to hear the good or bad news first?”“Bad news first
~ Lisa ~ Susanne entered my room in a rush. Her face was gloomy. “Miss Lisa, we must leave the pack immediately.” I raised my eyebrows. “Why? What’s wrong?” Susanne opened my cupboard, packed some of my clothes there. “Alpha Cameron came with his troop. It’s better for you to stay somewhere safe. If all have been calm, we can return here.” I let out a sigh. Susanne might be right. Rubbing my belly, going elsewhere would ensure my pup’s safety rather than staying here. So, I took my handbag, filling it with my jewelry and some gold plates I had. Then Susanne and I walked to the garden, and after passing the secret passage, we were already outside of our pack. We walked without conversing, as I was nervous. Hopefully, nothing bad would happen in our pack. We headed to the Dark Forest where my family had a small house there. Susanne unpacked the luggage and put my clothes in the cupboard there. I checked the table and the food buffet. The stock was full. I let out a sigh of relief
Cameron let out a heavy sigh again. “Yesterday, I killed Lisa and Bill’s father. I didn’t plan it, but he attacked me from the side. Bill saw his father die and attacked me too.” He put his chin on my head. “Did Bill … die too?” I asked, wondering if it’s the reason Nate was so gloomy lately.“No, I put him in the dungeon. I don’t want to kill him because it will add more heartache for Lisa. However, letting him alive will be dangerous.”“Why?” I clenched my hand. “He raped me a few times in the past life and turned me into a vampire. In the current life, he tried to rape me again, even he asked our former Elder to pay someone to kidnap me.” Shaking my head, I blew my breath. “If Michael sent me to Bill, for sure Bill would rape me again. He seems to have a distorted idea about love, as he thought loving me was a good reason to rape me. He said it was his expression of love.” Shuddering because of that, I hugged Cameron more tightly because it was too frightening to think how someon
Cameron brought me to our bedroom. There were white rose petals too on the bed. I glanced at my mate. Before I said anything, he kissed my lips. I giggled and caressed his hair. “You made me forget what I wanted to ask.”He grinned and kissed the tip of my nose. “Oh? Let me kiss you again. Maybe you will remember what you want to ask.” He bent his head and captured my lips in a deep kiss. This time, it wasn’t a short kiss as he didn’t stop the kiss. But he laid me on the bed, inserted his tongue in my mouth, and teased me until I moaned. “Now, do you remember what you wanted to ask?” Cameron grinned, rubbing my face with his thumb slowly. “If you keep kissing and touching me, how can I remember?” I giggled and pinched his hard and flat stomach. “Wait for a minute! I want to ask you something. Ah, the rose petals! Did you prepare them yourself?”He took a deep breath and shook his head. “Sadly, I didn’t do it. It was Mimi and Melanie’s initiative. Since they wanted to give us a rom
Then it was time for me to say my pledge. I held both of Cameron’s hands. He lifted my veil, then held my hands, and kissed the wrists. When he looked me in the eye, his stare was tender but intimate. I blushed, knowing it was a promise of a lifetime he gave me to be by my side. I took a deep breath as my heart was about to burst with so much happiness. He squeezed my hand, and I smiled, knowing that we would be together after I said my pledge. Then, closing my eyes, I finally smiled. “Cameron Black, from the first time I saw you, I had already known you would always have my heart. Though our journey wasn’t easy, it’s like a dream come true to stand beside you.” I looked around at our pack members. “Now, we are in the middle of our pack to say our commitment to each other.”Then I could hear the bawl of pups. Trying to find out who cried, I grinned to see Irene and Julianna carry my pups. “Then having our twins,” I shed my tears. Cameron immediately gave me his handkerchief. I wiped
After breastfeeding my pups, I patted their backs to burp them. Then I let Irene and Julianna bring them back to their room. Later, the Rhos came with my mild green dress. Mimi helped me to wear the dress. Then, another Rhos came with two boxes. The first was a white roses garland. The second was a set of white diamond necklace with white rose shape as its pendant, the matching diamond earrings, and bracelet.I gasped to see the jewelry. It was elegant and beautiful. A Rho smiled and said, “It’s from our Alpha, mistress. He hoped you would wear it today. Our Alpha has another set of heritage jewelry from his great grandmother to his grandmother and his mother, but he wanted you to wear a new jewelry set for today.”Taking my breath, I nodded. The jewelry was lovely. It fit for a Luna. After wearing the jewelry, I gasped again. “Is it something wrong, mistress?” A Rho asked. I shook my head. My tears damped my cheeks. “The jewelry … They fit with my dress.”“It’s because our Alpha as
As I requested, Cameron didn’t ask for me to mate with him. We even slept in different rooms tonight. It might be weird as we had done it so many times, even though we had already had our pups. However, I wanted to start our days as the official mates of a new thing regardless it was only an illusion. I still wanted to create a new beginning. My past life was filled with so many tragedies. The current life was a redemption. I didn’t know if I could be a good Luna for our pack, but with Cameron and our pups, I felt I could do anything. Also, I had Nate, Melanie, and Mimi who supported me too. I guessed the Rhos and Mus would help me too in doing my roles. I felt a strong connection with them when they helped prepare my big day. Ah, also, the Theta and Iotas. Wait, I forgot a few crucial people—my future father-in-law and Elder Tom. I let out a long sigh. Cameron’s father was a person who completely changed his mind toward me. It was drastic, from taking me in prison to accepting me a
~ Anna/Victoria ~After laying on the bed for a couple minutes, Cameron and I finally went to the next room. It was decorated in yellow, as I didn’t know if our pup would be a boy or a girl. What a surprise to know we had both. We must prepare another room soon so our pups could have their own rooms from now on. Cameron touched my cheek as I was deeply engrossed in my thoughts. “What are you thinking, love?”“We need to prepare another room so Gavin and Belle can have their own rooms. What do you think?”He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my neck. “It’s a good idea, but as they are still newborns, we will have more time until they are one or two years old.”I nodded. “I know, but decorating both rooms will be a new activity for me.”Cameron kissed my shoulder and bit it a little. “I have many activities for you, even for now, my darling.” His hand touched my breast to show what he meant. I only giggled, as mating with him was always fun, satisfying, and fulfilling. So, I
After Nate arrived at the Wild Wolves Pack, I introduced him to Elder Ralph and left Nate to get to manage the pack, as I couldn’t wait to hug and kiss Anna. I smiled as I wanted to see our pups too. The trip to go back to my pack seemed longer than I expected. When we passed a few shops, I asked the driver to stop. I headed to the flower shop first. Looking around there, I picked white roses for Anna. Waiting for the florist to wrap them in a pretty bouquet, I walked to a baby shop next to the flower shop. At first I wanted to buy dolls for my twins, but they were newborn. So, it would be useless. Finally, I picked up a set of pajamas, socks, shirts, and pants. I asked the shopkeeper to wrap them in a box. When I returned to the flower shop, the bouquet was ready. My driver helped me to bring the gift box to the car. Then I placed the bouquet on the box. Hopefully, Anna would like it. I was clueless why I didn’t choose the red roses. Probably it was because of my dreams. I didn’t
I looked around to ensure they listened to me. “I don’t want to make unnecessary conflict, especially as we have a peace treaty.” Shaking my head, I sighed. “I didn’t blame Lisa either, as she was the victim of this matter. However, if her father didn’t drug her, none of this would happen.”Then Elder Fred stepped forward and stood beside his son. He sneered at me and laughed. “Still trying to find a scapegoat, huh? It’s all started with you! If you didn’t agree to be my daughter’s mate, it wouldn’t happen. How dare you humiliate us twice?!”“I have explained everything. But you kept pushing your agenda.” Then I straightened my back and glanced at him. “The worst thing is you used your daughter as a tool for your own game. You didn’t think of her as your daughter or pack member.” I shook my head. “I pitied her to have a father like you, but the most regrettable is she has two alphas who did the same to her, regardless they are her family.”“Enough of this bullshit!” Elder Fred said. “
