Ella turned back, trying to run away from the spot, but she could see wolves approaching from all directions. She was certain that she would end up losing her life this time as all the werewolves would together eat up her meat. She chewed her nails and twirled her hair in anguish, trying to find ways to escape, but to no avail. She had her heart in her mouth, as they had come very close to her. She crouched on the ground, covering her face with her hands, getting prepared for the attack. To her surprise, the wolves, which were at an inch distance from her, sniffed at her and left the place one by one. She was at a loss as to what was happening. Why were these wolves sniffing her? Within five minutes, the hundreds of wolves that were surrounding her left the place one by one, and she was left alone on the dance floor.The wolves broke into a run, hunting their prey on the full moon night—that was a usual routine for the werewolves on a full moon night. She ran towards the mansion and c
“You should have run away and left the place within the spur of a moment. I can hardly remember much about the incidents that took place after I shifted to my wolf form completely. I hope none of them harmed you.” Alpha Gabriel asked out of concern.“I don’t know why, but all the werewolves who had surrounded me initially as if I were their lone prey sniffed me and then left the place one by one. I know that I am a human and would obviously smell like one, but it felt strange to be sniffed by them like that. It was a miracle that none of the wolves attacked me, and I am still safe.” Ella replied.Alpha Gabriel leaned forward toward Ella and sniffed her again.“What are you doing now? Sniffing at me like that again? Will you please stop that?” Ella got irritated.“You are having the blood of an Alpha running within your veins—not because you were born to an Alpha but because I donated you my blood—and that is making your scent confusing. The wolves might have gotten confused about whet
Soon they were in the mansion, and the Alpha King kept inspecting their relationship suspiciously, but Alpha Gabriel and Ella were working together towards convincing the Alpha King about how sacred and true their relationship was. Ella and Alpha Gabriel, who initially felt it burdensome to pretend to be each other’s mates, had now started enjoying their journey and felt much more comfortable in each other’s company. Ella would look for Alpha Gabriel if she needed something or was in trouble, and Alpha Gabriel would ask for Ella’s advice when he used to get stuck up with some work. They were actually living in perfect harmony with each other, just like real mates would. The pretense seemed to be becoming real with the passage of each day, although they both knew that they were not made for each other. Alpha Gabriel was Lara's, and Ella could never think of taking him away from her. The Alpha King was almost convinced by now, and it was the last night that the Alpha King was staying i
Ella usually wakes up by 6 a.m., but that day she woke up at 7 a.m. as they had spent the night in each other’s company, so they slept late. Alpha Gabriel woke up along with her. She wrapped the bed sheet around her body and rushed to the washroom for a shower. She felt embarrassed and could hardly see Alpha Gabriel in his eyes. Alpha Gabriel, on the other hand, felt guilty about his action the previous night. He felt that he should have controlled his emotions. He bowed his head in shame because he felt that he had betrayed Lara, his destined mate. “How could I get closer to another girl? I have failed to be loyal to my mate, and I deserve punishment for the same. How could my wolf let me do so? We werewolves never cheat on our mates. Then what happened to me the previous night? Am I not setting the wrong example for the other members of the pack as an Alpha?” He kept getting remorseful about his behavior.While taking a shower, she could feel the scent of Alpha Gabriel in her body.
Alpha Gabriel somehow managed to become a little calm and finally got ready for the proclamation. There was supposed to be a small ceremony in which the Alpha King would declare him as the Alpha. There was a custom on the island of the werewolves that the formal announcement could only be made in Luna’s presence, and Luna was supposed to place the crown on the Alpha’s head. Similarly, there used to be an announcement for the Luna as well, and she used to be crowned by the Alpha. Clara was explaining the intricacies of the ceremony to Ella, who was instructing the maid about the breakfast and lunch menu for the day. The Alpha King was supposed to leave after lunch.“It seems like an engagement ceremony where the bride and the groom exchange rings. Ha..ha.. It is just with the difference that there is an exchange of crowns instead of rings.” Ella burst into laughter to hear about the ceremony.“Don’t laugh at our ceremonies in this manner, Ella. They are sacred and pure to us. The Alpha
The Alpha King had already left, and Alpha Gabriel and Beta Leon were feeling content over their victory. Alpha Amelia had left no stone unturned in trying to overthrow Alpha Gabriel from the post, but still, they managed to find a way out of every obstacle that they faced.The members of the Blood Moon Pack were celebrating the declaration while Ella was getting prepared to leave for the city. Alpha Gabriel was ready to fulfill his promise, even at the cost of having to wage a war against Alpha Amelia.Mrs. Rolex had also arrived for the ceremony, and Ella and Alpha Gabriel took her blessings too. She blessed them, but she was not in a good mood. She seemed to be depressed over something.“What is it, Aunty?" Why are you not so happy? Your son-in-law has been declared the Alpha, and your daughter Lara has been declared the Luna of the pack by the Alpha King. I will be leaving the island soon, and Lara and Alpha Gabriel will together take care of the affairs of the pack. It will be su
“I don’t think it is important to leave my city right now, Alpha. I think that you need to think a little broadly. If you wage a war against Alpha Amelia, then it might consume a lot of time, and Lara’s condition might deteriorate until then. It will become difficult later on to treat her, Alpha. I think we should work on that first. Treating Lara is more important than dropping me off in the city.” Ella said.“I know that meeting the witch and treating Lara is of top priority right now, but I am just afraid that if you stay here, then the other werewolves might come to know of our relationship, and that would make things difficult for me to handle. What would I explain to Mrs. Rolex? Even if I treated Lara, she would again get ill if she came to know about our relationship.” Alpha Gabriel expressed his doubt.Ella looked all around. There was nobody present on the lawn except her and Alpha Gabriel. She placed her hands over his and said, “Why do you think that others would come to kn
Alpha Gabriel noticed that it was already evening and everyone else had left the mansion. He could hear the sound of vessels in the kitchen. Perhaps the maid was cleaning them. Beta, Leon, and Clara had all left after the ceremony. The main intention was to get Alpha Gabriel crowned as the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, which was already fulfilled. The Alpha King had also left, so they didn’t feel the need to stay in the mansion anymore.“Ella! It is not safe to stay on the lawn any longer. If any of the werewolves happen to see us in this close position here, then they might already start cooking up stories about us. Let us go inside. We will discuss everything in my room. I am feeling tired, and I need to relax a little as well.” Alpha Gabriel insists.Ella, who had already surrendered herself to Alpha Gabriel, was no longer reluctant to sleep with him in the same room, so she readily accepted his offer. They walked together into Alpha Gabriel’s room.They asked the maid to bring the
