We had a busy morning afterward. Mimi guided Rhos to enter the living room while she disappeared into the kitchen to prepare snacks and drinks. At first the Rhos were perplexed when they came. They stared at Cameron to get a clue of why he asked them to come to his house. “Please, have a seat first,” Cameron said, gesturing his hand to point at the couch. “My woman will join us soon.”I could hear Cameron as his living room was connected to the hall. I didn’t move fast because I was careful when I stepped downstairs. When I was in the living room, the Rhos stood as they might already guess that I was the one Cameron referred to as his woman. I smiled at them and nodded. “Thank you for coming. I need your help a lot.” “We, not only her,” Cameron corrected me. He offered his hand to me, and I held it while I took a seat too. “I think my father or Elder Tom hadn’t told you anything. But besides Mimi and Melanie, you will be the first people who know about our upcoming event.”The Rhos
Before we continued our discussion, Melanie came with eight Mus. They chatted cheerfully along the hall. When they saw me, they smiled and bowed their heads. “Greetings, mistress.” I stood and gestured at the couch. “Thank you for coming. Please have a seat.” Mimi brought some additional chairs from the dining room so all Mus could sit. Mimi then returned to the kitchen as before. She returned with a tray of orange juice and sandwiches. “We want to congratulate you first, mistress,” a Mu said, representing other Mus. “We heard from Melanie you would be our Luna in three days. It’ll be an honor for us to cook you the food for the ceremony.”I nodded and smiled. “Thank you so much. I know you have been working hard for a few days ago. Now, we must ask you to do the same. So, please cook food that is easy to prepare.”One of them shook their head. “Mistress, serve our Alpha and you will be our honor and pride. Considering you are our Alpha’s true mate, we must prepare for the best.”
Three days was too short a time to prepare for our big event. As it was a once in a lifetime event, I wanted it as a moment I could treasure forever. At first, I didn’t get it why Elder Tom suggested it. I agreed because I was happy I could be Cameron’s mate, and no one would suggest that he had someone else as his mate anymore. However, after taking a nap, I wondered if it wasn’t too hasty. I didn’t need a grand ceremony, but three days of preparation seemed too rushed. Yet I changed my mind, as I already had my dress. The Rhos also picked the same color shade of flat shoes for me. They even prepared a special veil. I was eager to see it, but as it wasn’t finished yet, they asked me to be patient as they wanted to surprise me on my big day. The Mus showed me their kitchen in their building. Though they worked daily in many houses, they had a building to work in whenever our pack had a special event that required them to work together. Evelyn, Elder Horace’s maid, visited me every d
It was shocking news. How dare he threaten our pack?! I was nervous to wait for the result of the meeting. Since Cameron didn’t ask me to go with him, I couldn’t know the result before the meeting was finished. I grasped my hands. I couldn’t just sit here! With the threat of war looming, could we truly have our marking ceremony in two days from now? Suddenly, my pup kicked my belly. I took a deep breath and rubbed my stomach. ‘What do you want, my pup? Mommy’s here.’ My pup kicked again. I didn’t understand why, but I felt my pup supported me. Smiling and caressing my stomach, I whispered, “Thank you, sweetheart. Mommy loves you. Yes, everything will be alright.”When I wanted to go upstairs to rest, there was a bell ringing. I strolled to the front door and opened it. Mimi rushed to the front door too, but when she saw I was already there, she only smiled at me and returned to the kitchen. It was a teenager at the door. I smiled at her and asked, “Hello?”“Uh, hello. Miss Anna, uh
A young woman sat on the couch. When she saw me, the woman stood and bowed her head. “Miss Anna, it’s an honor to meet you.”“Oh, you are so kind. Please have a seat.” I sat on the couch next to her. “I got a message for you. Here you go.” The young woman gave me a pink envelope sealed with a heart shape. I grinned and opened the seal. There was a piece of card with a heart shape too inside. I pulled the card from the envelope and read the message. ‘Please dress well, my mate. I will wait for you at the Moon bridge today at 3 p.m. Go alone because I have a surprise for you.’ It was two hours from now and Moon Bridge wasn’t too far from here. I smiled and placed the card on my chest. “Did Cameron say anything when he gave you this?” “Uh, I didn’t accept the envelope directly from our Alpha, miss. But the messenger said it was from our Alpha for you. I only sent it to you.”I nodded. “I understand. Thank you for delivering it to me.”The young woman stood and bowed her head again. “I
It was a smooth trip, as the traffic wasn’t as full as usual. I checked my appearance through a small mirror I bought in my handbag. Everything looked good. I smiled to imagine what we would do on our date. Maybe we would go to a romantic dinner, then continue to a nearby hotel to spend our night together. As I wore a white lingerie matched with my dress, I imagined it might create a virginal impression. Letting out a sigh, it was weird. Though in the second life I was a virgin again but I didn’t embrace the moment as a virgin. I thought I wasn’t a virgin anymore because Bill—the vampire—raped me and stole the moment from me forever. But who would have thought I was given a second chance? Even in the second life, I didn’t know I was reborn as someone else in her body. Both experiences were painful, but with Cameron, it was brief and more surprising than shocking. I guessed we couldn’t expect everything to happen according to our wishes. Having the second chance itself was more than
I shuddered to hear that. No longer able to hold my breath anymore, I inhaled the wolfsbane scent and gradually, my sight was blurry and all went black. A tickle in my ear woke me up, and I tried to push whatever it was. It stopped, but later, it brushed my cheek. “Wakey-wakey, sleepyhead.” I pushed the ticklish object from my cheek, but the chuckle bothered me a lot. I sighed and shook my head. “Go away! I’m still sleepy. I need more sleep.” “You can sleep again when we have mated, my darling. Now, wake up. I can’t wait to taste your delicious body.” My eyes opened wide as I remembered who the one I talked with was. “You! Stay away from me!” “A-ah!” He moved his pointer finger, gesturing to me not to do what I asked. “I can’t do that, darling.” I scooted backward to create a distance from this traitor. I must think quickly. Without no one knowing where I was, it might be a problem to find me. However, I was sure Cameron would surely search for me. I must buy time. Gulping and
Michael had planned everything well. He was right. Even if I told Bill, there was no guarantee Bill would capture Michael. Well, considering his ego, it was a high chance as he assumed me as his woman. Yes, he told me he loved me, but I thought it was not love. It was more like a creepy and dark obsession. Who was in the right mind could love a woman but raped her? No one I guessed. It’s only Bill. The sick and perverted mind was dangerous as I couldn’t predict what he would do. But Cameron … he loved me. I knew he would come and protect me. What else could I do to delay Michael? I bit my lower lip. Then my pup kicked my belly. I took a deep breath. No matter what, I must prioritize my pup’s safety. In the past life, I had sex with Kenneth because of Constantine’s request. I had a strong reason to do it now. I rubbed my belly. “Michael, can you promise me you won’t harm my pup? Can you treat me tenderly?”“Why? I love it fast and hard.”I gulped, trying to control my voice not to t
