The next day Ethel woke up, with her head on Alpha Carl's chest. Her lips parted into a tiny smile as she recalled the previous night. She could feel her pussy was sore but she loved every moment of the previous night. She raised her head slightly and looked at his face. Her smile grew wider as she admired him. She took her hands to her neck where he had marked her. She giggled. He had not only engaged her, he also marked her. She was bursting with so much happiness and excitement. She was more than gratefully to the heavens that she had someone like him and Ethel wished that things could go on that way. She wished more troubles would not spring up, she wished that they could just continue living like this, she wished Tyler and Lucy could find their mate too but that would not be possible until their own mate bond had been restored. The thoughts of it made her sigh. "What's the issue?" Alpha Carl questioned, his eyes still closed. "You are... You are awake?" She was
"Any sign from Max?" Alpha Carl asked Tyler. The both of them were seated on sofas opposite each other. "Nothing for now. Our spy is unable to say exactly what is going on in the Pack because he is not in the military but he says he suspects mobilization" Tyler replied. "Mobilization" Alpha Carl mumbled. "I suspect that he is going to launch an attack soon" Tyler replied. "Start mobilizing the men too and make sure they guard every gate that leads into the Pack. Any strange movement should be reported immediately. Max would never win against our Pack, even without the powers of the moon ring. I am confident in the Pack we have built" Tyler smiled on hearing 'we'. He was glad knowing that Alpha Carl was regarding his efforts in the Pack too. "I will do as you have said" "Great. Increase the supplies of the men. I want them ready for whatever might happen." "The men will be more than glad" Tyler responded. "I have my wedding next week" he suddenly announced and Tyler's e
"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
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
"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
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
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
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

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
