~ Nathanael/Nate ~My heart beat fast when I saw Lisa. I paid little attention when she visited our pack because, in my mind, she was Cam’s mate. But now, when I stared at her short blonde hair, I was itching to touch it. Then, before I could say something, I suddenly heard it in my head, ‘Mate! Mate!’I gaped, as it was unexpected. I looked around to see if there was another she-wolf in the room, but I couldn’t find anyone but Lisa. Her eyes widened too, and she put her hand on her chest. As she panted, her bosoms attracted my eyes. Lisa bit her lower lip and blushed. Then she glanced at me. Our eyes met, and her eyes swept me from head to toe. Then her eyes went to my crotch. Darn! My blood pumped to the region as she stared. Then finally, she licked her lips, and all I wanted was to claim her to be mine. Cam had to sense something as he glanced to see both Lisa and me, then grinning. “I wonder if both of you need some time alone to talk. I don’t mind going elsewhere.”Before Lis
I didn’t expect it would be so easy. But then, I carefully asked, “As we just met each other, I want to get to know you better. So I will ask your father’s permission to court you.”Lisa looked into my eyes. Her eyes widened. “Court me?” “Yes, to get to know you and have your father’s blessings for our relationship.”“I know what a court is. It’s just how you said it as if it were a royal thing.” She giggled. Then, unexpectedly, she hugged me and whispered, “Yes, I love that. But I want to ensure one thing first.”“Oh? What’s that?”“I want to know if we are compatible in bed.” I gaped, as it was a bold thing for a woman to say that. I had never met a woman as straightforward as Lisa. She shrugged to see my shock. Then she walked away. “I’m not a virgin. Just FYI. I have enjoyed some men before. So, I must know we are compatible there.”I took a deep breath as I was disappointed to hear that. Because I had never had a woman sexually before, I expected to have a virgin mate too. But
I wanted to meet Cameron in the living room of Alpha Fred’s house, but a servant bowed at me at the door. “Delta Nathanael?”“Yes.”“Beta Cameron asked me to let you know he’s waiting for you in his room.”“Oh, and where is his room?”“Follow me, sir.” The servant showed me the way to a medium-sized house. “Beta Cameron is inside. Do you need anything else?”I shook my head. “No, thank you.”The servant bowed and left me. I opened the door. Cameron sat on the couch in the living room, shutting his eyes. When he heard the door’s sound, he opened his eyes. “Hey, Nate. So, how was it?”“Can we talk in your room?”Cameron shrugged. “I don’t have any room, but you do.”I frowned. “Aren’t we supposed to stay the night here?”“Only you.”“Huh?”“Alpha Fred accepted your dowry and my apologies. So, I can return to our pack. Yet, he will wait for Lisa’s answer about you. If she accepts you, it’s final. After that, you will be his mate and Alpha Fred’s son-in-law.”“As easy as that?” I crease
I was much better after taking a bath. But I still didn’t know if Alpha Fred would accept me to replace Cam. Well, not to replace, but to be her daughter’s mate. Okay, alright, it was Cam’s replacement. But if he loved Lisa, he would prefer me to Cam. I didn’t expect to stay the night here, so I wore the same clothes as I used to. Yet there was a knock on the door. “Excuse me, sir, but Miss Lisa asked me to give you these clothes.” I stared at the clothes in the servant’s hands—maybe ten pieces. “Oh, why?” The servant smiled, then whispered, “Miss Lisa wanted you to look the best at dinner time.” I creased my forehead, as it was never necessary to present myself the best. Yet the servant put the clothes on my bed and bowed at me. “Sir, Delta Nathanael, if I can say something to you.” “Sure.” The servant bit her lower lip and took a deep breath. Obviously, she was nervous. “I’m Susanne Morrigan, Miss Lisa’s maid. I have served her for ten years. So, I feel she is the closest to
Bill wanted to say something, but then Lisa entered the dining room. I caught my breath as she was stunning! Her hair was braided neatly. She wore a long white dress. The dress reached her ankle. She sat between Bill and me. Her chest was covered with lace. She looked like an angel.She smiled at me. I reached for her hand and kissed her palm. Cam grinned to see how Lisa reacted.‘It seems she likes you, Bro,’ Cam said through the mind link.I glanced at Cam for a few seconds and smiled. ‘I hope so, because I’m crazy about her. She’s so gorgeous.’Some footmen came with wine. After serving the wine, they left the dining room. Cam lifted the wineglass and nodded at Alpha Fred.“Alpha Fred, my brother has been smitten by your daughter. I hope you will give them your blessings.”Before Alpha Fred could say something, Bill interrupted him. “Not so fast! Lisa, do you want Nathanael as your mate?”Lisa blushed, yet she didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she touched my wrist and whispered,
Alpha Fred coughed. “I think it’s time for us to rest. Nathanael, you may talk with Lisa and get to know each other in the living room.” “Thank you, Alpha Fred.” I stood to respect him as he left the room. Then Cam let out a sigh. “I hope your father will accept Nate. He is a better man than me. Your brother is also too much.” Lisa didn’t react. She held my hand; her hand was cold. “Let’s go elsewhere to talk.” “Lisa, I hope you don’t get mad at me. I have never intended to humiliate you. I’m sorry,” Cam said. Lisa pouted at Cam. Her eyes weren’t as warm as she stared at me. “As we have nothing in common and it was only a political marriage, I have no regrets about you canceling our agreement. But,” she stopped in the middle, “the only thing I regret the most is you didn’t come sooner to avoid this. I dislike being rejected publicly.” “I have no other excuse. I’m guilty, indeed. Do you want some retribution? If you want more dowries, I will give Nate more jewelry to give to you.”
Then Lisa sobbed again. I was confused, as I wanted to assure her I was serious with her. I didn’t care about her past as long as she wanted me. “Lisa? Did I say something wrong?” “N-no.” Lisa wailed and hid her face in my chest. “It’s the most beautiful thing anyone has ever said to me.” “Then why are you crying?” I kissed her tears again. “Because I’m too happy.” She hiccupped. “I don’t deserve you.” I let out a long sigh. It was too confusing and frustrating for me. I wanted to see Lisa smile. But instead, she cried because of what I said. I didn’t know what else I should do or say to her. She lifted her face and smiled in the middle of her tears. “Do I make you frustrated?” “Yes, my dear, you do.” Lisa nodded. “You can leave me. Let’s think we have never met each other. I will tell my father tomorrow it’s my fault.” I gripped her shoulders. “What do you mean? I won’t let you go. You are mine!” Lisa laughed and then sobbed again. “You first expected a virgin, but you fo
Lisa gasped and then sobbed again. She buried her face in my chest. I hugged her and let her cry to calm herself.“Cry as much as you want to relieve yourself, but I won’t leave you, my dear. You are mine, and I will stay with you.”After five to ten minutes, she stopped crying. Lisa took a deep breath and said, “What I told you is the bad and the ugly. But I haven’t told you the worst.”“What is it?”“I experienced PTSD afterward. I was terrified all the time and couldn’t get any sleep.”“We will find a good Omicron to help you. I will be patient with you.”Lisa bit her lower lip. “I still have nightmares sometimes. If you are with me, maybe you will hear me once in a while screaming at night because of the terrors.”“I may have PTSD too.” Then I took a deep breath. “I have never come to an Omicron to test it, but sometimes I have nightmares about my parents and sister too.”Lisa raised her face to stare at me. “What happened?”“Rogues attacked our pack. They killed my parents and si
~ 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. “
