“That is enough!” The alpha now yelled over everyone. “I have heard enough and I do not see remorse from you, Melina.” She began to yell again but this time, “I command you to be quiet, all of you!” I had never seen the Alpha’s true anger and seeing it now told me he was more understanding than I’d ever known about the situation. I respected and valued him more than ever before. With his command, the entire garden became quiet and Melina to having no choice but to listen to her Alpha. “Melina because you show no remorse for your actions or give me any reason to allow you to stay in your position I hereby demote you from high priestesses and pray for the moon goddess to bring us a high priestess of the white wolves who can lead with respect and honor.” The Alpha looked up and then gave a signal. I saw the guard from behind now restrain her and then with a quick motion the other bring out a hot iron and they now burned Melina’s skin as she cried out where her High Priestess marking wa
One white priestess was crouched down on her knees and for a moment I had to take a moment to focus but then I was brought into the light and saw it was Caroline. Sophia and Clara were on either side of her going to her aide. Then Laura made her way over and Laura gasped. “Caroline you have the High Priestess marking.” “What that can’t be?” Caroline tried as she might turn and see but the marking seemed to be on her shoulder where Caroline could only catch a glimpse of this. “How is this possible?” She looked in complete shock and I first I was too but then I found myself standing and clapping. Sarah quickly also emerged followed by many others and then the entire pack was clapping and howling. Caroline twirled around looking in complete shock and fear but tried to smile then she turned to the Alpha. “I think the moon goddess has made a mistake.” The Alpha didn’t argue openly instead he smiled and pulled her into a giant bear hug. I learned later he simply told her that the moon
The dinner was a true feast with multiple courses of salad, soup, the main course of chicken, and dessert. It was filling and delicious. I knew I’d eaten way too much as it felt more as if the corset lace on the back of my dress was a giant not squeezing me together. Still, the conversation was light with many congratulations and truly a memorable night with many people that I appreciated. Rollo’s laugh carried throughout the garden and all seemed to be happy at least at my table. I looked over on occasion at the white priestess table still seeing Caroline in shock but also saw some who didn’t seem as pleased. I’d hoped Caroline wouldn’t have too many obstacles or too much resilience as it truly was best for my white wolves. I would always feel connected to all of them even if it was official that I was labeled as different. I wasn’t quite sure how I felt about the new title but I did like the idea of having a say on the High Council. It was a bold move for sure by the Alpha so I
As I entered outside the guard I finally took a look at was frantic and concerned, “Please do not say anything to anyone until I speak to the Alpha.” “Okay, that’s fine.” He was shaking he was so terrified, “Please I beg of you not a word to anyone.” I shook my head in understanding as I watched him head directly to the Alpha. I couldn’t imagine who I would even tell about that experience besides Rogan, Laura, and maybe Reese but I wasn’t even sure what to say about everything I felt I needed to speak directly to the Alpha about what the rogue wolf had just said to me. I watched as the guard hurriedly made his way to the Alpha and the Alpha’s eyes grew then he searched the garden area and locked eyes with me. He scowled at me at first but then looked around again this time I saw he made eye contact with Rogan and motioned for him to join him. I stood where I was because if I was correct the Alpha would be coming towards me at any time. Sure enough, it seemed the Alpha had ca
Although I knew Rollo would soon find out about the rogue wolf almost escaping and me being involved I didn’t say a word at that moment. I didn’t want anyone else worried about me, especially when apart I was not frightened when it came to the rogue wolf. I felt like if I was truly allowed to speak to him that he would give me more information perhaps on when and how there would be an attack. I felt like this information was vital and made a promise to myself to pursue it further when things had calmed down. The Alpha and Rogan were now fronts in the center of the stage preparing for the beginning of the ceremony. The moon Goddess seemed to be glowing and I admired her from up above not even acknowledging all that had occurred tonight just glowing with her many gifts. “Everyone if we could please prepare ourselves for the upcoming ceremony.” A hush came across the garden and some either sat down or remained where they were. I noted that there were now screens up most likely for
I knew the Alpha did this to distract any more conversation about the matter but I wasn’t sure how the next few hours would go now. As we took off the Alpha and Luna led and Rogan lead the way behind them, “Come on Kellina I want you beside me.” I looked back to see Laura and Rollo keeping pace so I moved to join him and they did too. I had never been so grateful to have them all beside me as I looked out in the distance I saw Erin running and hoped he was okay with the new events. The funny thing about it was it didn’t matter anymore who was alright with any of it anymore because the moon goddess had decided as the Luna so eloquently stated. Still, I worried had it would impact the pack, those we loved, and how Rogan and I would move forward. We stopped at the same spot we had for my ceremony in the open field looking out into the wood. The moon glowed above us and I let the cool breeze flow through my fur as I relaxed and gathered my bearings. Immediately many of the pack approac
“What are you two discussing without me?” Rogan gritted through his teeth and he came close. My thought was he presumed his mother was being angry towards me but I knew what her true intentions were. I went up to him nuzzling his neck and he calmed a bit. “Your mother and I were just discussing some of our future as mates now.” I push into him extra so he knew I was happy about it. He put his head down curling me into his larger wolf body. He looked up though at his mother. “I will not have you trying to keep us apart anymore mother.” He stated so simply but it was full of anger. I understood where he was coming from because now that it was out in the open it felt more upsetting to him that they had insisted on keeping us apart but the other side of me knew they were trying to protect him and ensure the pack accepted us all. It was why no matter what happened with us being mates his father had named me a High Priestesses. It ensured protection for me no matter what Rogan and I
There were more pack members on top of me for the rest of the night than I knew what to do with congratulating, making requests, and now acknowledging my existence. I did my best to handle it with dignity and grace. I wanted Laura and Rollo especially proud of me. It neared the end of the night and at last, I escaped to get to Reese for a brief moment. She naturally squealed and jumped into me hugging and squeezing me tightly, “I’m so happy for you! It’s like a magical happy ending isn’t it? Oh my gosh, you must be ecstatic!” “I’m happy yes but I think I’m too tired to be ecstatic and with all the events of the night I’m not even sure where Rogan and I go next but yes it is pretty magical.” With Reese, it was easy to be excited and nice to feel the joy in her flowing into me. She pulled apart still jumping up and down and squeezing my hands. “This is going to be so great! Oh my gosh, I have to get to do you’re your for your marriage ceremony!” Marriage Ceremony, my stomach hurt
I raced to get to them after hearing the large commotion from over a mile away. I entered the woods and could hear wolves everywhere. This was it, this was the attack. I knew some of the guards had been able to catch up to some of the red wolves but I was hoping it was too late. I smelled for Kellina and Rogan and finally, there was an opening and there it was. There was blood splattered on trees and leaves everywhere. I could see her naked body and I did my best to take a big sniff. Death I smelled death. I ran to her in wolf form changing as I went to human so I could help her easier. I grabbed my jeans that fell and quickly threw them on. I came to her side. “Fuck Kellina!” There was blood all over her and I didn’t know where to start. I checked and she had a pulse but where was the death I looked around praying to the moon goddess it wasn’t Rogan. There no more than 10 feet away was Melina the High Priestess with her throat ripped out. I was inhaling her death but I could smell
We walked to the edge of the woods and inside. I should have known where Rogan was leading me but between kissing each other every few steps and stopping for a few gropes and grabs here and there I was distracted besides I wanted this moment and so far it was perfect. I felt the briefest feeling of uneasiness as if someone was watching us but I assumed someone might have been because given everything I doubted that the Alpha would not ensure some extra wolves were patrolling. I wondered if it was Erin because I hadn’t seen him yet at the ceremony but then again I didn’t think I would. The thoughts drifted in and out of my mind as we came to the opening with the waterfall. The waterfall that had been our first time kissing and the first time we knew there were sparks nobody else understood or we yet. He grinned at me, “I just thought it should be here if that’s okay?” I nodded grinning with not a care in the world. He started taking off his handsome suit and tie. I tried to get my d
I barely remembered the dress Clara had me try on only the morning before but the last couple of days were a blur and my only focus was on Rogan. I had already had my hair done with a low braided bun that Resse supervised the entire time to ensure that my red showed true with the white and red blending into every braid. My makeup was very natural as Laura ensured and then my nails were painted with Sarah's overseeing ensuring that they were french tipped with a red ruby design on both thumbs. “You have to make sure you show your red priestesses side as much as your white priestess side.” She directed. It was a long afternoon of primping and prepping but many laughs were had by all the women and everyone truly looked amazing by the end. I liked mating ceremonies I realized more at the pack house I realized quickly because everyone was allowed to wear clothing that truly represented them. Sarah of course, in her deep red hat, matched her hair. Reese wore green which brought at he
The next couple of days swirled by in beautiful bliss. Rogan and I had finally committed ourselves and all that was left now was to complete the ceremony and complete the mating with marks. I had taken precautions to ensure I wasn’t going to get pregnant not even a day before the ceremony thanks to Laura. I just felt like Rogan and I needed some time to be just us before adding anything else into the mix. I probably should have told Rogan but I would when the time was right at this point there was just no real point. Instead, I enjoyed the next day loving each other inside and out. We had barely taken a breath out of our room besides a quick dress fitting that I barely remembered what the dress even looked like because I was in such a hurry just to get back to Rogan and us. The rest of the time we spent constantly naked touching and exploring each other with occasional stops to eat and sleep when needed to refuel ourselves. Now it was the day of the ceremony and there was a note sli
Rogan smiled sneakily as he untied my robe exposing my entire naked body to him. “Rogan….” I was trying to plead to him in some form but not sure what just felt a bit self-conscious but the way he licked his lips told me I should not feel uncomfortable. The lotion in his hands warmed to his touch. “Shhhh….You are sore baby but I still want you so bad, let me make this a bit easier on you.” I couldn't stop him at that moment as I was hooked on his naked body peeking from underneath his robe and those seductive eyes looking at me begging me to comply. He started by rubbing lotion on my stomach and then went up to the top of my breasts, encircling them and making sure to pay extra attention and gentleness to my nipples moving his fingers around and over them lightly pinching a bit as he went. He slowly examined each one causing me to moan to his touch and arch my back as my body started to take over with desire. He took advantage of me arching my back, reaching and rubbing my
At the words spoken, Rogan pulled me deep into his arms kissing me with his velvet lips. My heat below ignited and before he could I moved my hands up underneath his shirt pulling it up as my hands glided up his chiseled chest and pulled off his shirt. His arms went up without a fight and just as quickly he was pulling off my shirt. My bra was off just as quickly and his mouth devoured my breasts causing me to lean back and moan. His hands going to my pants and began unbuttoning them with easy strides. Not to be undone I came up from my own ecstasy of his touch and rubbed my hand up his leg to his already stiff election and unbutton his pants exposing his penis. For a brief moment before I was lost again in his touch I knew this meant he'd been out in wolf form and wondered what he'd been doing but then his hand went down pulling my pants off with one swift motion and I was lost once again in his touch.My hand wrapped around his cock rubbing it back and forth. He let probably th
Laura and I spent the remainder of the afternoon talking with me explaining a lot about my dreams. Laura was quiet asking a few questions here and there and I could feel the relief as I had let it all out to my mother. We both burst into tears when I told her what my mother said and I could tell she was truly moved. Rogan sent up a sandwich tray and sent me a message saying he thought this was what I needed. I wasn’t sure how he knew this is what I needed but it was. Laura had been the largest most important person in my life besides him and deep down I felt her as my mother. Sometimes the only thing you need in this world was your mother and I was beginning to understand that more than ever today. “Tomorrow is your dress fitting and I think every white priestess may be there so I hope that will be alright.” I nodded. “Kellina this part is important but I don’t think you should visit that Gorm until at least after the ceremony.” I went to protest. “I don’t think it will do you any g
I allowed myself to drift off to sleep from my tears. Sure enough, I floated up, and as much as I could control hurried my floating up above the packhouse and into the woods because I knew he was going to be waiting. As I touched down in the familiar spot and felt the leaves on my feet even though it wasn’t completely possible. I ignored the friendly loving smiles and stomped over to them. “So nobody wanted to mention we were direct descendants from the first red wolf? Oh, and none of you could tell me that you were killed by your pack?” I growled at them and I could see the surprise in my father and mother’s eyes but looking behind them there was my redheaded grandmother. “What do you suppose your anger will do for this my dear?” I fired right at her walking in the middle between my mother and father whose arms extended wanting to comfort me. “My anger is all I have left so it would appear.” I then fell in desperation to my knees right in front of her. “Because instead, I have
I waited for the guards to be out of sight making a few comments about how they couldn’t believe they could take a break and nobody would be watching him then assured Erin was at the front of the door. I approached him smiling and trying not to show how much excitement I had for what was about to happen. He looked annoyed and immediately flashed his phone showing Gorm now alone in his cell. “This is linked to my phone, Rogan’s, and the Alphas. I’m not sure if the Alpha is watching in real-time but you can damn well bet Rogan is.” I nodded in understanding. “Absolutely no funny business Kellina, you have powers that others don’t but you are not to risk yourself.” He glared at me then smiled looking me up and down. “Nice outfit by the way.” I rolled my eyes in response, “Am I free to go now, master?” I walked by him and he quickly shot out grabbing my arm. “Be careful with your words Kellina, I remember everything you say to me.” I could feel the heat he was putting off toward
