Ezra's eyes were wide as saucers as he stared at his new wife. She was more daring than he had expected her to be. He had even expected her to be very compliant as she had been rejected before. It was very likely that she would never get to mate with anyone again, and no werewolf would like to live their entire life without a mate. It was only on very rare occasions that they get a second chance mate.
"I am sorry." Nina apologized. She just wanted to get out of his presence, and out of the wedding gown. She made to walk past him, but he grabbed her arm and pulled her back."I didn't ask you to leave.""Forgive me Alpha, but this dress is uncomfortable." Her eyes then trailed the length of his body. He had taken off his suit, but he still had on a white shirt, and a pair of suit trousers. "Aren't you going to change? Or do you always dress this formal in your house?"Ezra couldn't deny that he was taken aback by her casual concern about his clothes. He expected her to be more worried that he was offended by her disrespect."Do you wish to be dealt with Nina?"She shook her head. "I wish to bath, change and rest.""There would be no resting for you dear wife. Did you forget that we newly got married?"She tilted her head to one side as she stared at him, taking in his features. He was tall and lean, with broad chest and well toned torso. Even though he was clothed, it was obvious through the tightness of the shirt. Going to his face, she noticed his amber eyes, and sharp jawlines, with a neatly trimmed line of beard. His dark hair tousled, some falling to his face. He was a gorgeous man, but with an ugly character."Is that the only thing that comes to your mind when you see me?" She gave him an obvious fake smile. "Please excuse me Alpha. I need to bath and change. I hope it pleases you." She then gave a mock bow before walking past him. This time he allowed her.She spent some time there, before coming out. She met him sitting on the sofa there. He had changed into a navy blue loose T-shirt, and another black trouser. His gaze followed her as she walked."You don't have to change inside. I am your husband remember?""How can I forget?""We should go outside and meet some people. My beta would be delighted to see you."She eyed him suspiciously. He who did not care to wait for her to get down the car wanted to introduce her to people? It would take time for her to get used to him. Having nothing to do, she agreed to go with him.They descended down the stairs together, going past the second floor."I thought the beta stays here?""He's does. I spoke to him through the mindlink. He's about leaving the pack house for some business.""You haven't told me about your parents Alpha." She stated, and he just glanced for a moment, before turning back, not bothering to answer her.When they came outside the pack house, Nina took note of a man standing in front of a black car. He didn't seem to notice them as he had his hands wrapped around a woman, Claire. That should be the Beta.As if sensing them, his hold on Claire loosened, and she came to stand by his side, but she still rested her head on his shoulder, and his hand was still in the small of her back. It was obvious that they had a hard time separating from each other.The man smiled charmingly when he noticed them. He and Claire then walked up to them."Meet my Beta, Axel. Axel, my wife, Nina."Axel offered a slight respectful bow. "I am happy to finally meet you Luna. Claire was just telling me about you. She mentioned your beauty, but I don't think her words do justice to you." He then took her right hand and attempted to bring it to his lips, but Ezra quickly slapped his hand away, and took Nina's hand, his gaze narrowed at Axel in warning.Nina was surprised at his reaction, but she didn't say anything. Axel and Claire chuckled."I am sorry if I got the wrong message across Alpha, but I am not trying to steal your wife. I have mine." He then playfully pulled Claire close to himself, and Nina guessed that they were always like that with one another."I hope she brings some light to your dark life." He continued to tease. Then he turned to Nina; "And if he ever does something against you, you can always come to me."Nina couldn't help but laugh lightly at his playfulness. The man was a high spirit, and the exact opposite of the crazy Alpha she was married to."I think this is enough introduction for today." Ezra said. He then snuck his hand around Nina's waist, and walked past the couple."Hey Alpha, that's rude. I didn't get to tell her all about..." He shut his mouth and grinned instead when Ezra turned to him. Ezra then decided to go show her other things."Where would you like to see?""Where do your omegas live?""Almost every house in this pack is occupied by an omega." He answered in a matter of fact tone, as though it was something she was supposed to be aware of. "Isn't it like that in your pack?"She shook her head. "Omegas do not live anywhere close to the pack house. The houses close to the pack house are those of high ranking members."She noticed that he didn't remove his hand that was on her waist, and she wondered if he was just trying to familiarize himself with her body."I told them that the Luna ceremony would be tomorrow." Ezra suddenly declared, and she stopped on her tracks. She got out of his hold and turned to him."You didn't think that you should have informed me first before making such big decision that greatly involves me?""I don't see the necessity in doing that.""Are you just so eager to get into my pants?" She asked in anger. For them to perform the Luna ceremony mean that they needed to mate before the next day. And that only meant that they needed to have sex."Oh well, you are my wife now, and you haven't even given me the chance to see you naked." As if they didn't just get married few hours ago.She came to stand in front of him. It was a little funny how she blocked his path because he was bigger than her. "Look, I didn't choose to marry you. I know you would think you are doing me a favour by agreeing to marry me, and that is why you expect me to always do exactly as you say. Right? You think I would do everything to please you?"Nina then noticed someone coming out of the pack house. She knew that it would not be a good sight for the both of them to be caught arguing, when they only just got married, so she moved closer to him and placed her hands on his shoulders.Ezra was at loss for words. He first didn't expect her outburst, and now this?She lowered her head to his shoulder, and then she moved all the way to his neck and ear, her hot breath fanning his skin. "You have got to play fair Alpha, if you want this wedding to work."Ezra's hand instinctively grabbed her waist, as her little bold action stirred something within him. He then tilted his head so that his mouth would be close to her ear."Come with me little Nina."Ezra took Nina to his office and closed the door. He stood with his back resting on the door, his gaze focused on her. There was a way he looked at her, as if he was relaying some messages to her. It made her feel the need to run away, she couldn't deny that she felt a bit excited."Why are you staring at me that way, Alpha?""What did you say about playing fair? You are the one being unfair here Nina. You are my wife and yet you won't let me touch you." He smiled slyly."You need my permission? I thought you were the Alpha, and you would do what you want with or without my consent?" She tilted her head, watching him. He was a mystery to her. They had only known each other for a few hours, and yet she had seen various sides of him. His mood changes too often. He appeared to be more stoic during the wedding."Of course I could if I want to, and you will do nothing about it because you can't." He then focused on her face, just to watch her glare at him. "But that is one thing I will not
Silence reigned between Nina and Ezra for a while, with the Alpha holding his face where she had just slapped. He stared at her, disbelief filled his gaze. Nina on the other hand didn't mean to slap him. Her anger just got the better of her, but she did not regret it the least. She believed that he deserved it.Ezra crossed the distance between them. He gripped her chin, and forced her to look up at him, his angry gaze boring into hers, matching her intensity. "The next time you will raise a hand to me, you will not be getting just a warning. I will remind you again that as long as you are in this pack, I am your Alpha, and I do not tolerate disrespect.""Then you should learn to be respectful yourself, Alpha." She stared into his eyes. She felt intimidated by his threat, but she did not want to back down. She knew that she was no match for him. Even if her wolf was okay, she knew that she could not take him, talk more now that her wolf was weak. But she didn't just want to give him
"Nina, you have met my Beta, Axel, and his mate, Claire. You could make her your Beta. She is very reliable." Axel and Claire who sat next to each other waved at her, their faces filled with smiles.Nina wondered if it was possible to have two Betas. In her pack, it could not be more than one.Ezra then walked her to a woman, dark haired and blue eyes. She seemed a little older than the people there. While they all appeared to be in their twenties, she looked like she already crossed thirty."This is my mother, Elder Michelle, the former Luna of this pack." Ezra introduced, and Nina offered a slight respectful bow to her."I am happy to meet you, Elder Michelle."Michelle stood up and enclosed her in a warm motherly hug that made her body tense. She felt too warm, too homely, reminding her of all the things she could not get from her own parents."You seem like a sweet child." Michelle said to her softly. "Please let me know whenever Ezra is giving you a hard time."Nina smiled, the w
Nina prepared herself to hear Ezra say or do something pervert-like, but to her surprise, he said;"Dress up. We will be meeting the elders soon."Nina then remembered him talking with his mother, concerning how he didn't invite the elders of his pack. That was unheard of, and she wondered why. She decided to ask."Alpha, why didn't you invite the elders of your pack to our wedding?" When he delayed answering her, she left him and walked to the closet, looking for something to change into. She sighed. She didn't feel like meeting any elder that morning."They didn't approve of you." She then heard Ezra's voice, and it made her pause for a moment. If they didn't approve, why did he go further? Not like he knew her, or that her pack had much to offer. Even though her pack was doing fine, this was a far bigger and much more prosperous pack.Why did you go ahead with the marriage then?" She decided to ask. "Why did you even marry me? It's not like you have met me before or something.""I
Nina and Ezra stepped into the club known as 'the wolf's club'. The insides were illuminated with dim lights of red, blue and purple. Calm music played as opposed to what she had expected from a club. Well, there were only a few people dancing. Most people sat in corners drinking, involving in little chats, wildly making out, and not caring a bit that they were in public. It was more of a brothel than a club. Anyway that was nothing new in the world of werewolves. "Why did you bring me here?" Nina asked out of curiosity."This is where I like to spend my time, and clear my head." He greeted the people that recognized him, as the others were too lost in their carnal pleasure."Do you... You know get involved in..."Ezra chuckled. "Of course. That is why I come here." He watched her reaction, and he noticed her frown. Perhaps she was displeased by the knowledge. "You don't like me doing that?""You can do whatever you like, Alpha." She responded dryly."When you see me with a woman, do
When Ezra got to the pack house, he carried Nina bridal style, and discreetly moved into the house. She seemed to have fallen asleep, but she held on tight to him. Something about her just made his heart clench. It was as if she sought for protection, for love. He could give her protection, but he wasn't too sure about love.When he got to the room, he lay her on the bed, and she whimpered a little, before falling asleep again. He then mind linked Axel, before getting up to attend to some things.When Nina woke up, she was surprised to find Claire in the room. Did Ezra send her in?She sat up, squinting as eyes as her head ached badly. "Did the Alpha send you here?"She nodded, standing up from the sofa. "Yes. He told me that you got drunk, and that you might be having a headache. I brought you some medications. You should take them." She then went to the bed and gave her the drugs. "You went to the wolf's club right?"Nina nodded. "Do you often go there?""Never alone. Axel would alw
Ezra freed Nina from the chair and carried her to bed. She expected him to keep her in bed, but instead he carried her on his laps, checking her wrists."You are not injured." He stated."You don't want me injured, but yet you keep chaining me. I don't understand the logic behind that." She reasoned as she leaned into him. She didn't bother to struggle against him as she knew it was useless. Somehow he was comforting."You are my wife. I have to always ensure that you are alright. Besides the chains are very smooth, they would hardly wound anyone, unless the person struggles too much." He then placed her on the bed. "You should sleep now."She was surprised. She thought he was going to have sex with her after their exercise. She knew that he was very turned on, watching her. She then remembered what Claire said, they needed to mate, so she could secure her position as the Luna and a member of the pack.Ezra stood up and started walking towards the bathroom. "You don't have to do that,
Nina sat on a stool in front of the mirror. She pushed her hair to one side of her shoulder to expose her neck, so she could see Ezra's mark that was beginning to form. She felt strange that she was now marked. When she was younger, she thought she would be marked by her mate. Then after finding him, and with everything that happened with him, she thought she was never going to be marked again. But here she was, wearing Ezra's mark, and she didn't hate it at all.She jolted when she felt a soft skin pressed on her neck. Ezra! She didn't notice his presence until she felt his lips on her skin, the exact spot he had marked her. It had become so sensitive, it sent an electrifying feeling down her spine."Good morning, baby girl." He kissed his mark again, nibbling on it a little, drawing a satisfied sigh from her."Good morning, Alpha." She greeted back, her eyes closed, enjoying the feel of his lips on her skin."I thought we are past that now. No?" He asked, not liking the formal way w
