Conri…Conri could feel Tala froze, as if she has done something wrong. He looked into her pretty eyes and kissed her tenderly.“Have I done something wrong?” Was the first soft reply.“No, no baby, you haven’t done anything wrong. I needed you, I needed this. But we need to have a serious talk, about your father…”“Oh” Tala got up from Conri and started to get dressed.Conri also stood up and put his pants and shirt back on. He took her by the hand and pulled her back against him, trying to give her some reassurance about his feelings. He went to sit on a big rock and beckoned her to come sit next to him.“I think I would rather stand, thank you. It still hurts a little.” Tala rubbed her tender back. She could still feel the bruises, they are already much better, but it’s still sensitive.Conri got up and walked over to her.“Can I do anything to make it better?”“I wish you could, but it will heal soon enough.” Tala smiled up at him and looked up at the moon. She always loved the mo
Conri…Conri could not sleep that night, he was tossing and turning and eventually just gave up on the idea of sleeping. He took a long hot shower and went downstairs to get something to eat. It was still dark outside, and it was very quiet in the house. No one was awake yet and Conri enjoyed the peace and quiet. He had so much to think about, he was not sure where to begin…He made himself a few sandwiches and went to eat in on the porch. The air was still crisp, and he loved the early morning dew smell. In the distance he could see a few of his pack members getting ready to patrol. He sat down and took a few bites. He really was very fortunate, and he has worked hard to build his empire. He had the largest pack in the Northern Europe, and he felt proud of each wolf that was part of his pack. He could not have asked for better. He knew they needed a Luna, and he was working on that…Tala might not be ready to take on such a big responsibility, and she still has so much to learn, but
Tala…She swallowed nervously and did not want to walk any closer. She saw the look in her fathers’ eyes, she could not remember ever seeing him this angry, and he has been very angry in the past. She nervously looked up and Conri, and she saw he did not take his eyes of her father for a second… His hand squeezed hers gently as if he wanted to reassure her.“What the hell is going on here!” Her father asked in a bouldering voice.“She is coming with me Rico.” Tala heard Conri say, and it was as if he was talking from far away. Her ears were ringing, and she felt dizzy. Her worst fear came true, her father finding out…“Like hell she is, you should have been dead long time ago. I will kill you; I will kill you both before I let you take her!” Her father threatened them.“You and what army?” Conri asked sarcastically.Tala looked from Conri to her father, and it looked like they were both about to kill each other. Tala was not ready for this, she hoped it would never come to this… As mu
Tala…As she and Conri walked back in silence, she wrapped the blanket tighter around her. She felt self-conscious and she took a side glance at Conri. Tala could see the way he walked, he had authority, all the other wolves respected him. As they walked through the camp, Tala could feel a few eyes on her, but for some reason, it felt ok. She could not feel judgement or betrayal or anything that she was used to feeling back at her father’s camp. She knew then that this is where she wanted to be, in this pack, with this Alpha…As they walked over the big lawn, Tala had a good look at the main pack house. It was huge, she has never seen a house this big. She stood still and just took everything in.“Are you ok babes?” Conri asked as he stood next to her, and he possessively put his arm around her small waist.“I have never seen anything so big, so beautiful. This whole place, it’s breath-taking.” Tala said softly as she looked around.“I am very glad you like it. This will be your home
Conri…As Conri held Tala close, he could feel her relaxing. He enjoyed showing her around and all his pack members seem to just accept her, like she has always been a part of them. He has made the decision not to wait to mark her, he just needed to make sure she was ok with it.The sun was already setting, and it started to get dark. The fires were going, and he loved the energy he always felt with his pack.“Tala, we need to talk about something serious.”“Yes?” Tala took a step back and looked up into his eyes.“I want to mark you and make you Luna of my pack.”“I would love that, I thought that was what we were going to do?”“Yes, but I want to do it tomorrow…”“So soon?”“Why wait? I know you are never leaving my side again. And the sooner, the better. My pack has been waiting a very long time for their Luna, and I don’t want to make them wait any longer.” Conri tenderly touched her cheek and rubbed his thumb over her bottom lip.“Are you sure I am ready? So much has happened in
Conri…As he and Tala walked out of the house, his mind was still in his office. He could not stop thinking about what Tala said about Sheila. He has a suspicious feeling yesterday as well regarding her ware bouts with the Shadow Moon pack. She always seemed to know what was going on over there. He frowned as they walked down the steps and onto the grass, his gaze running over the fields, looking for Marcus.“Are you ok Conri?” he felt Tala’s small hand on his forearm as she spoke to him.“Yes, it’s just bugging me what you said earlier. I had the strange feeling as well yesterday that she is hiding something.”“I am sorry, I know you have known her for a long time, and she is a part of your pack.”“I could always trust her…” Conri’s voice trailed off as he spotted Marcus in the distance.“Come on, there is Marcus. Let’s go and talk to him.”Conri and Tala walked over to Marcus. It was already dark outside, and the fires were burning. Most of his pack were already starting to relax an
Conri…Conri left the guy to fix his office door and he and Tala went outside. He needed to find Marcus; they have a big announcement to make…He has finally found his Luna…The sun was already high and beating down on them, but nothing could spoil this feeling that Conri had. He was overwhelmed with joy and excitement…They walked over to the training grounds and Marcus was just finishing up with the last training session of the day.“Alpha, Luna” Marcus greeted them as soon as they came into ear shot.“Marcus, I guess you already know.” Conri could not keep the grin of his face.“No one can mistake the glow that Tala has, and I am very glad for both of you. Welcome, Luna” Marcus gave a small head bow and gave Tala a genuine smile.“Can you please call a pack meeting. I want to officially introduce her as Luna. And you can just fill in the few other pack members that is on patrol now.”“Ok sure. I will get everyone ready. We can meet all in front of the main house. Give me fifteen mi
Conri…Conri woke up the next morning and he looked over to Tala. He still could not believe she was here, his Luna, The Moon Princess… She was in his bed, and she was all his. He knew she still needed to get to know herself, who she really was, but so far, so good. She looked so peaceful, and he slowly pulled his arm from underneath her head as he did not want to wake her.He sat up and checked his phone. There were a few messages from Marcus, updates on what happened during the night. There was another suspicious event and Conri could not help but immediately think about Sheila.He was not sure exactly what she might be capable of, and he had to confess that it made him nervous, when she was getting so involved with the Shadow Moon Pack. He really hoped that all these acts had nothing to do with their enemy…He replied to Marcus and said he will come down and see him in a while, and they can discuss the nights events. In that moment, Tala stirred and rolled over next to him, and the
Tala opened her eyes and yawned. She had trouble sleeping lately as her second child was a much more intense pregnancy than the first. She tried to roll out of bed, but it was not easy at all. She heard Conri in the shower and decided to wait for him. She heard the water closing and then she saw him come out of the bathroom with only a towel around his waist.She never got tired of seeing that beautiful, sexy body! She feasted her eyes on him and he laughed.“Morning babes, how did you sleep?” he planted a kiss on her forehead, and she stuck out her tongue at him.“Not much better than last night. This one can come now…!” Conri helped her sit up and she swung her legs of the bed. She got up with effort and walked over to the toilet.When she came back, her son was jumping up and down on the bed, being his joyful, energetic self and Tala could not help but laugh. Their son looked just like Conri, the same eyes, same bone structure. He was a split image of his father.“Morning mama” he
Tala… As Tala laid in the bed, staring up at the ceiling, she realized she never phoned Conri… She did not plan on going down now, as things were feeling weird when it came to Alex. He was avoiding her, and she was not sure why. She turned to lay on her side, but sleep did not come easy. She tossed and turned and eventually fell asleep. The next morning, she was awake very early, and she got dressed quickly. She almost ran downstairs, hoping to see Linda and Alex. Alex was standing in the kitchen, busy making himself some coffee, and he jumped when Tala said morning. “Oh, morning. I did not think you would be awake so early…” He did not really want to look her in the eyes. “I was hoping to catch you before you go out. Did I do something wrong?” Alex turned to look at her, with an intense look. Tala started to feel uncomfortable as she did know what to expect from him. “I was really worried about you yesterday, and there is just something about you Tala. I don’t know what it is,
Conri…Conri woke up, feeling that there was a part of him missing. The spot next to him in bed was cold and he stroked his hand over it. He missed her terribly, and everything inside him screamed that he had to go and look for her. But he knew, that might be the biggest mistake he ever makes. He stood up and climb of the bed, he walked over to the bathroom and took a long shower.When he went downstairs, Tala’s mother was busy in the kitchen. Jones was there, making some coffee.“Morning, Louve, Jones.” Conri greeted in a flat voice. He would never be rude, but he did not feel like being friendly either.“Morning Conri, I wanted to thank you again for everything. Any news maybe on Tala?” Her mother asked, with hope in her voice.“No sorry, nothing yet. I will let you know as soon as I hear from her or have any updates.” Conri turned around and walked to his office.He wanted to be alone, and he needed to catch up on some work. It has been a crazy few days; and he needed to keep busy,
Conri…Conri was still holding Tala’s mother in his arms, when he saw her starting to shift, he picked her up and carried her over to some trees, out of harms way. He put her down and as he turned around, he heard her father’s wolf cry out in pain and then everything went silent. He watched as Tala’s wolf went to lay down on the ground, staring at the lifeless body laying on the ground. That was her first kill, and he could see she was not taking it very well, does not matter whom it was.He walked slowly over to her, as she has not moved an inch. He did not want to startle her, but as he got closer, she lifted her beautiful head and those piercing blue eyes were blank. He immediately saw that she did not know how to deal with this.He slowly reached out his hand and wanted to touch her, but she snapped at him. He pulled back and he watched as she slowly got up and turned around. He knew there was nothing that he could do to help while she was in wolf form. He had to let her go, and h
Tala…She run as fast as she could, and the closer she got to her old camp, the more determined she was feeling. As they reached the camp side, she stopped dead in her tracks… There was no one in sight. It was as if it was abandoned. No one was patrolling, no one was sitting by a campfire, there was no one… Conri came up to her and looking around.“Where do you think everyone went?” Conri asked in a low voice.“They are here, believe me. I just think they are hiding.” Tala turned around and staired at the main house, her old home.Tala can remember still thinking to herself that it was too quiet, when suddenly wolves started jumping out of the pack houses. Some of their own wolves has already transformed, and they all stormed to the front. It was an ambush, and they were waiting for them. Tala could hear yelling and bones cracking and wolves growling all around her.The war has begun…And Conri was not beside her anymore, as she looked around, more of her old pack members started to c
Conri…As soon as his phone rang, he knew something was wrong. Marcus did not bother him this time of the night unless it was very urgent. As soon as he put the phone down, Tala was standing next to him, fully dressed and ready to go.“What is it?” Tala asked urgently“Sheila came back, or pieces of her came back. Come on, we need to go” Conri took her by the hand, and they walked very quickly out of the bedroom and down the stairs. They did not speak a word until they got to the front door.“Tala, I am not sure what we are going to find, or how it is going to look. It might be not a pretty sight at all. Are you up for it?” Conri turned to her, holding her by both arms.“Yes, I am. We are wasting time Conri. We need to go.” Tala shrugged his hands of her and opened the front door. Conri was right behind her.The stich caught them both by surprise and Conri immediately looked at Tala. He could see she almost looked nauseous, but she pushed through, and they walked over to where Marcus
Conri…Conri sat at the kitchen counter, waiting for Tala to get back, getting impatient… Jones sat next to him, making small talk, but he did not hear a word she was saying.The back door opened, and Tala came walking in, Conri could feel the relieve washing over him when he saw her, and she was ok. He could see she looked tired, and he knew she pushed herself too hard, too soon.“Are you ok?” Conri asked as she came over and sat next to him.“Yes, thank you. Just feeling very tired again. The adrenaline of earlier is wearing off and I can feel my body is struggling. I am going to go and lay down for a little while.”“I need to sign some papers; you want to come and rest on the couch in my office please?”“Yeah sure.” Tala did not have the energy to argue.“Jones, will you please send some juice and a few snacks to the office?”“Sure, I will see you in a little bit.”“Come on babes.” Conri stood up and helped Tala to her feet.They walked in silence to the office and Conri opened the
Conri…Conri did not sleep at all that night. He kept watch over Tala to make sure she was ok. He looked up at the window when the first ray of sunlight crept through. He looked at his watch and it was just after 6. He could feel he was struggling to keep his eyes open, and he called Marcus. Not long, and there was a soft knock on the door.Conri walked over and opened the door, and walked out, closing the door behind him softly.“Morning Marcus, anything else happened during the night?”“No, we still have not found her.”“Ok, thanks. I need you to please stay by Tala for a while. I just need to close my eyes for an hour or two. I need to try and keep my strengths up.”“Did you get any sleep Conri?” Marcus asked concerned.“No.” Came the short reply.“Ok, I will keep watch for as long as you need me to. She will be safe with me, I promise you.”“I know, you are the only one I trust with her. Please keep her safe. I am just going to lie down in one of the other bedrooms.”“Sure, you ne
Conri…During dinner, Conri could not shake the feeling that Sheila was up to something. Maybe they had to do some digging into her past. Conri thought back at the time when he met her, and she has always been very secretive. She would never just share anything about where she grew up, or her family. So, in short, he did not really know anything about her. She became part of his pack and about 2 years ago, they became intimate, and even all the nights lying in bed, Conri thought back she never talked about herself…It made the knot is his stomach grow bigger, who was she really…?After dinner, Conri excused himself and he told Tala to go up to the bedroom and take a long bath. He would see her in a little bit.Conri kissed Tala on her forehead before he headed out the front door. He walked with big strides, he wanted to get to Marcus, quickly. He saw Marcus sitting outside his house, very deep in thought.“Conri” Marcus jumped up when he saw him approaching.“Marcus, we might have big
