"Miss Hayley" The feminine voice called over the line. "What do you have for me?" Hayley asked. "Alpha Carl has not been coming home. He and Miss Lucy have not been home since they left that morning. And today, this evening, someone came visiting and I heard Beta Tyler telling the person to check on Alpha Carl at his mansion in Sky estate""So he is there, with her?""That should be right ma'am" the feminine voice responded. "Good. You have done well. I will send you some money to get by" Hayley smiled. "I will be expecting. Thank you Miss Hayley"The call ended. *The next dayAlpha Carl woke up quite early and had finished preparing for work early. He would have left home as soon as he was done to minimize the time he would be spending home with Ethel but the words of Cardia held him back home. He glanced at his wristwatch repeatedly, checking the time to ensure that he left home at the usual time. Once it struck 8am, he stepped out of his room, all dressed up in a black shir
Alpha Carl was feeling uneasy ever since the call had ended. He had tried calling back but it wasn't going through and it was making him worry a lot. He could remember the first gasp and then the second gasp that he knew had to be out of pains but he could not think that Ethel would be going through any sort of pains in the house. That was unless, someone had come to meet her at home. Alpha Carl pushed the files in front of him away.He closed his eyes, recalling every moment of the call. He had spoken and as he had done the same but was cut short by a small noise. This time, Alpha Carl recognised the noise to be the huge front door opening and then a small gasp had followed. That gasp had to be that of shock, whoever had walked in the door was someone who struck fear into get heart. And then, there was a louder gasp. The person had definitely done something. Alpha Carl opened his eyes and shot out of his seat. If there was nothing going on, the line should have been going throu
Alpha Carl knocked twice on the door of Ethel's room. "Y... Yes?" He could hear her voice trembling. Alpha Carl sighed softly, pushed the door open and walked into the room. "Alpha Carl" Ethel made an attempt to get up from the bed and show her respects. "Don't" he stopped her from doing so with a word. Ethel pressed her lips into a thin line and bowed her head, still seated on the bed.She was dressed up in a black, loose gown. "Raise your head up" Alpha Carl ordered and she did so.He took a good look at her face, she had a bruise on her cheek bones, there was another on her forehead and there was a cut on her lower lip too. But the injuries abd bruises were not as bad as he had thought earlier before she took her bath.Alpha Carl gulped down. He badly wanted to heal all of those bruises but he was worried that the healing process would be counted as a sexual activity and his three days mission would have failed. Ethel had tears in her eyes. "Can.... Can I get a mirror, Alp
Ethel felt her insides burning with a flame of passion that she had never felt for anyone before. His tongue seemed to be wrestling with hers, a wrestle that he was sure the winner of. His hard body pressed against her naked body made butterflies fly in Ethel's stomach. Her knees had turned as weak as it could ever be and Ethel could swear that she would have fallen on the floor if his hand was not holding her in place firmly. She could feel his clothed hard-on pressing against her stomach. Ethel pushed more of her body into him, yearning for more of him. A part of her screamed that this was wrong but a larger part of her screamed at her to do what she wanted and Ethel could not deny that this was what she wanted .His right hand left her back and caressed its way upwards until it rested on the soft mound of flesh in front of her. Ethel sighed with pleasure as she felt his warm hand on her right boob. Alpha Carl broke the kiss and looked into her eyes for a second, there was no r
Ethel's body slowly stopped trembling, her body still shivered slightly but she was coming down from her climax already. Alpha Carl lifted her up and carried her to the bed, dropping her gently on the bed. He leaned over and kissed her lips slightly, wanting to pull away a second later but Ethel had her right hand pressing his head to her. Alpha Carl kissed her again, knowing that was what she wanted. They kissed hard, bodies rubbing against bodies, tongues sliding into each other's mouth, hands roaming every inch. Alpha Carl eventually broke the kiss leaving Ethel breathless. He jerked his shirt off his body and the sight of his hard body made Ethel's pussy throb with desire once more. His body was so nicely built and she badly wanted her hands on his abs. "How was your first orgasm? How did it feel having your body shake to its deepest cores while you feel how hard you make me?" "I... It was.... It was strange but good""good... Too good" She breathed heavily. "Good. Now I am
Alpha Carl spent long hours of the night, standing by the window and staring into the darkness of the night, different thoughts running into his mind. He kinda regretted what he had done with Ethel. He realized that all these while he had only been wondering about how things were for him and he never bothered about how things were going for Ethel. For all he knew, Ethel was someone who would not have wanted the night to happen but her want for him was just as high as his own for her. It wasn't the fault of the both of them, it was the fault of fate that was playing with the both of them. After three months, his own mate would most probably wake up and he would be happy with her but it might not be the same for Ethel. She would be left alone again and she would most probably be shattered to have lost her first time chance with a man she would never have. Alpha Carl did not want to be that cruel person that would be the cause behind her shattered heart. Alpha Carl could not deny t
"So, how was it, Alpha Carl?" Cardia asked and Alpha Carl bit down on bus lower lip for a second. "Didn't succeed" he responded casually, the next second."I knew it was going to be hard, Alpha" Cardia replied. "Yeah, it was. There is no other way, you say?""There is no other way, Alpha Carl. Was it just a kiss or did you go really far into it?" Cardia questioned. "Does it matter to you how far I went with it, Cardia? The point is I did it anyways." He responded in a gruff tone. "Alright, Alpha Carl. What do you intend to do then? Keep doing it with her?" Cardia asked and Alpha Carl shot her a look. "Definitely not. She is not someone I can do anything with and you know it, Cardia.""No Alpha, I don't know a thing. The attraction would only get stronger as time goes by and I cannot be sure...." She paused. "You cannot be sure if you can control yourself till the end of it."Alpha Carl went silent for done seconds, his eyes thoughtful. He remembered the restriction he had felt w
"Have you buried Hayley's body?" Alpha Carl asked. "Yes, I have done that, Alpha""But I am curious as to why you suddenly killed her. You have always been holding back, insisting that she is a source of information but for Ethel, someone who is not your mate, you decided to kill her.....""I did not kill Hayley for Ethel. I killed her because she was going too far. For some information, I would not watch her kill everyone. I will find my things out another way" Alpha Carl cut him off. Tyler pressed his lips into a thin line and nodded in understanding. "Alpha Carl, I was wondering if I could take Ethel out? She has been...." The intense gaze that shot at him from the Alpha made him stop talking. "Are you forgetting who she is? She is my mate" His eyes burned. "But she is not, in the real sense of it" Tyler spoke back, as softly as he could with his heart pounding in fear that the Alpha was really taking interest in Ethel. "Until Lucy wakes up, Ethel will be my mate. Do to her
"Do you, Carl Hillard, the Alpha of the River Alley Pack take Ethel Adams as your wife and Luna, to stand by her and be with her all the remaining days of your lives, in good and bad health, in good and bad situations, to offer her strength when she needs it, to be her husband?" The priest asked. This time, Alpha Carl was much more at peace knowing that no one would barge in to inform them of an attack on their Pack. "I do" Alpha Carl replied all smiles. The priest gave a small nod and turned towards Ethel. "Do you, Ethel Adams take Carl Hillard, the Alpha of the River Alley Pack as your husband, to stand by him and be with him all the remaining days of your lives, in good and bad health, in good and bad situations, to offer him strength when he needs it, to be his wife?""I do" Ethel replied, almost too quickly. Alpha Carl chuckled at how ecstatic she was. Like they had planned, there were very few people at this wedding. They put on the rings and Alpha Carl had his chance to
A week later"You know I still can't push away the fact that our wedding wasn't perfect. We didn't even get any wedding shots or even get to dance" Alpha Carl pointed out, his arms wrapped around her waist in a back hug while his face was buried in her neck. "Yes, that's right" Ethel pouted and ran her fingers down to his own fingers, feeling the moon ring on his fingers.It was still shining, even after Lucy had survived. "I was thinking...." He turned her to face him and kept his hands on her waist. "How about we retake our vows? I am sure our pup would love that" he bent down and kissed her stomach.Ethel smiled as he stood up straight. "We already did the vows...." She started. "But you are right. I was planning on dancing and taking loads of pictures but none of that happened and our rings too...." She raised her hands up. "We could only find yours when we returned to where we dropped it" she grumbled with a cute pout. Alpha Carl ruffled her hair fondly "That's that. I wo
Ethel let her body drop into the nearest sofa as soon as she was in the living room. Tears filled her eyes again. The Pack members were cheering at their success but she was crying at her loss. She could not even tell her mother yet. She did not know how to break the news to the poor woman, how to tell her that barely a month after her husband died, her daughter had also died. They had confirmed that she snuck out of the house and they had no idea where her body was."Ethel" Alpha Carl whispered her name and scooped her into his arms. "It's going to be fine" he whispered and kissed her forehead while she sobbed into his chest. Suddenly the telephone rang but the two in the living room were in no mood to pick it up until Alpha Carl raised his hand to pay Ethel's hair and realized that the moon ring's light was flickering. "Flickering...." He mumbled the word and Ethel's eyes widened, seeing that. "Lucy.... She is probably not dead" the both of them shot up from their seat. Ethe
Surprise, shock and yet relief ran through Alpha Carl's body as he realized that the moon ring's powers was now with him. But it meant one thing, Lucy was dead.... Someone had killed her or she had killed herself to save the entire Pack. With his paw raised up and the moon ring's light shining brightly, everyone froze. The enemies froze because they knew they were doomed, the River Alley Pack members froze because they were relieved, Ethel and Tyler froze because they were breaking apart. Lucy was dead! They had lost her!Crumbling to the floor, Ethel shifted back to her human form. "Noooooooooooo!!" Ethel screamed out loud, breaking the silent freeze the moon ring's light had caused. "Lucy!" She cried out as her heart wrecked with pains. Her twin sister was dead. This was a nightmare she hated! She didn't want Lucy dead, she wanted her alive. Tyler's eyes filled with tears. He had asked her not to harm herself, he had told her not to die as long as he was alive but she went ah
Lucy was seated at the edge of the bed in her room, her feet shaking badly and sweats pouring down from her forehead. Suddenly, the door opened and beta Tyler walked in. Lucy was shocked to see him. They were in the middle of a war, how could the beta leave the war?"Beta... Beta Tyler?" Her voice was shaky and she could hardly speak in one breath. Was he here to eliminate her on behalf of the Pack? She was willing to do so now, anyways. "Are you here to get rid of me?" She asked, her voice still shaky. "Very much the contrary. Ethel was worried about you trying something stupid. She wanted me to come check on you and assure you that things are going fine" he replied, sitting on the sofa inside of the room. "Are.... Are things going fine?" She stuttered out. "Not at all. Things are going from bad to worse. We are losing men. Though we have managed to get rid of a lot, we are still very much behind" he replied. "Then why are you here? You... You should be there, fighting for t
Lucy's lips parted in a whimper. The bouquet of flowers in her hands fell to the floor. With another pack onto them, she knew they could not win, unless they brought the moon ring to shine, unless they killed her. She trembled with fear and her eyes filled up with tears. "N.... No" she shook her head in disbelief. She wanted what was happening right now to be just one nightmare of hers that stemmed from her fears but it wasn't a nightmare, this was reality. Just when she thought that her life could be good, just when she thought life could be peaceful for her, everything had come crashing down upon her. She wished she had never said yes to being the fake mate of the Alpha. Now, their fake manipulated bond was too strained to even work. Even if Alpha Carl slept with her and marked her right now, the moon ring still would not shine. Everything was on to her life. Her death was the only thing that could save everyone but death scared her, she didn't want to die yet. Ethel, see
"Do you, Carl Hillard, the Alpha of the River Alley Pack take Ethel Adams as your wife and Luna, to stand by her and be with her all the remaining days of your lives, in good and bad health, in good and bad situations, to offer her strength when she needs it, to be her husband?""I do" Alpha Carl replied, more than willingly. "Do you, Ethel Adams take Carl Hillard, the Alpha of the River Alley Pack as your husband, to stand by him and be with him all the remaining days of your lives, in good and bad health, in good and bad situations, to offer him strength when he needs it, to be his wife?"With a huge smile on her face and her hands clutching tightly the flowers, Ethel said the words. "I do"Loud cheering erupted amongst the guests as the vows were made The rings were brought forward and Alpha Carl slipped the ring into Ethel's fingers, his heart racing as he did so. She was finally his woman!Ethel equally slipped the wedding ring into his finger and the both of them raised thei
The Wedding Day"Are you sure I look good?" Ethel asked for the hundredth time after dressing up. "You look perfect, Ethel. Trust me" Lucy assured her and turned to their mother. "Doesn't she look perfect, mum?" She asked. The three of them were in a huge room that had been earlier filled with the people doing the perfect makeover for Ethel. "She does, she looks more beautiful than I looked on my wedding day with your father" their mother replied and the atmosphere of the room turned slightly sour. "You did not have to mention father" Lucy pointed out. "I am sorry. I... I just spoke, I did not think about it""It's okay. It's a happy day" Ethel lightened the air with a huge smile on her face. "That's right" Lucy affirmed. Lucy equally looked beautiful in her pink gown, her hair was styled beautifully and her makeup complimented her beauty. Lucy walked close to Ethel and adjusted the dress. "Is there anything wrong?" Ethel asked. "Not at all. And don't be nervous, Ethel. Eve
"I think this one looks really good" Ethel said, standing in front of a wedding gown. "No, no and no. You are becoming the Luna. This..." She pointed at the gown. "Is not good enough" she shook her head. "There is no such thing as you being a simple, beautiful bride. You are going to be a sophisticated beautiful bride" she added and Ethel chuckled. "Alright then. Why don't you choose cause I really do not know what to pick?" she responded. "Alright then" Lucy mumbled and looked around at the wedding gowns. "What about this one?" Lucy asked, standing in front of a sophisticated wedding gown. The wedding gown was decorated with tiny gems that caught the light of the room. It was a gown that would definitely catch the attention of even thousands of people. Lucy was sure Ethel would look elegant, beautiful and expensive in the dress. It was perfect."You have to pick this, Ethel.""It's really beautiful. You made a better choice""Leave things like this to me. I will make sure yo
