Michelle was surrounded by her family. To the right were Ezra, Nina, Axel and Claire, carrying her baby. To the right were Lawrence, Daniel and Diana and Patrick.She had not said anymore word since she woke up. She was given water, and the doctor checked on her again. He said that she was okay, but she was only in the state of shock.Ezra couldn't help but think that something had happened to her. He remembered what the human doctor said; that she would likely not make it, but if she did, there was a likely possibility that she would not be the same again."Mom, it's me. It's Ezra, can you hear me?" She turned to him in utter silence.Lawrence then kissed her hand. "I'm here. I have been waiting for you."She turned to him, and just like she did with Ezra, she didn't utter a word.They gave subtle glances to one another, each person fearing the same thing.The doctor came in not long after to check on her again. He then asked some of them to leave, so she could have space.Everyone le
"Where is Ezra?" Nina asked Axel as she stepped into the pack house. She seemed a little excited, though she tried to keep calm. "He is a little busy now. He was looking for you." Axel answered, narrowing his gaze at her. "Where did you go, Luna?" He asked suspiciously, and Nina laughed "Oh, you are not about to do this to me. I already have Ezra wanting to know where I am at all times." She teased, and he shook his head at her, totally amused. "Well, not like I wanted to know per say, I am just trying to save the pack from our Alpha burning it down when he does not find you." She blushed a little and tried to walk past him, but Axel suddenly threw one arm around her shoulder and pulled her close. "Now that you have been here for long and you are already used to all of us, I know that you would be open to sharing a little secret." "What secret?" Axel looked around them, as if he was going to say something he didn't want anyone else to hear, and Nina became curious. He then whispe
Nina sat in front of the large mirror in her room, while some of the omegas dressed dressed her hair. She was putting on a white long wedding gown.It was the day she had been waiting for. The day she would be getting married to the man her parents chose for her, Alpha Ezra, the Alpha of the Night howlers pack. The thought of that made her shiver in fear.Alpha Ezra was well known all through the land of the werewolves. He was known to be the strongest Alpha, and his pack was the largest. But what made her afraid of him was the fact that he had a reputation for being cruel. He cared for no one but himself, and he wanted control over everything and everyone he comes in contact with. Alphas of smaller packs did well to stay out of his way. But here she was, preparing to be his wife."Nina." She heard her mother's voice call as she made her way into the room, but she didn't turn to look at her. She could see her from the mirror anyway. "You look so beautiful sweetheart. Alpha Ezra is goin
Nina turned to look at the Alpha who was now staring at her with curiosity. She was shocked that he asked her that question, as she had not expected him to be interested in her personal life. That was a question she never liked to answer. In fact, she didn't know that answer to the question."I am sorry Alpha, but I don't want to talk about my rejection.""Why? I am your husband now. You should be open with me." Ezra pressed. "I heard that many Alphas turned you down after the rejection. Do you know the reason?"Nina could barely stop herself from rolling her eyes. Was he mocking her now? "They didn't turn me down. They turned my parents down.""The public does not know that.""I don't care what the public knows.""You didn't even bother to ask me the reason for accepting you."Nina only shrugged, as if she did care. "The reason does not matter. I am already your wife."Ezra didn't say anything to her anymore. He just drove them to the pack house. When they got there, Nina was surpri
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 t
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
