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
Alpha Gabriel went closer to Ella and placed his hands on her head, trying to calm her down. He then stroked her hair gently as he cuddled her again in his arms. His touch was magical for her, and she forgot all her anger and worries at that touch of his. She craved more of his love. It was just that she was feeling insecure and emotional about having to leave him and go to her own city. She felt addicted to him. She could sacrifice everything on earth to gain his love. On the one hand, she felt annoyed about having surrendered herself to a werewolf, but on the other hand, she felt mesmerized by him and couldn’t think of living without him in the future.The feeling of insecurity about having to lose him was making her irritated, and she was behaving irrationally. She was in no mood to leave the island so soon. Besides, she wanted to return the favor that Mrs. Rolex had done for her by saving Lara’s life. She wanted to give her life a little more chance on the island, hoping that she
“What did you do to her, Gabriel? Why is she crying? I can see teardrops falling from her eyes. I am sure that you might have behaved rudely toward her.” Gabbro complained.“I wasn’t rude, Gabbro. I was just asking her to return to her city for her safety, but she is adamant about visiting the witch and bringing the scorpion venom from the witch to cure Lara. I don’t understand how I can risk her life for my mate. I can’t just grant her permission. That is the reason I called you—my human self is unable to make an adequate decision.” Alpha Gabriel whispered slowly in Gabbro’s ears.“Why are you speaking so softly, Gabriel? I just can’t listen to you. Why do you want to hide your wolf from Ella? Let her know of my presence. You should be introducing me to her instead. Ah! She looks so damn pretty, and you rude man! You have hurt her tender soul. I will never forgive you for your action, Gabriel.” Gabbro complained again.I don’t know why, but all of you are blaming me for whatever I do
Ella knew that if she could use the power stone by reflecting it on the black magic of the witch, then certainly it would turn ineffective immediately, but how to remove it and take it in her hands was the question that was troubling her.She felt that the only option left with her was to take out the power stone using her mouth. She kept bending forward towards the pocket of her dress, but then her tied legs prevented her from reaching out to her pocket. She kept trying with the hope that she would succeed in getting it out. The power stone was her only ray of hope that could render all the tricks and actions of the witch ineffective. After a long struggle of almost two hours, she finally managed to reach out her mouth towards the pocket. She removed the power stone and reflected it using her mouth over the ropes with which she was tied. Since the ropes were the result of the black magic of the witch, they gave way, and Ella’s hands and legs were finally freed. She could now move th
Ella woke up in the morning, surprised that she had fallen asleep in a standing position inside the cage. She checked for her power stone and was relieved that it was still there. She didn’t want to use it unless it became urgent; otherwise, the witch would snatch it away from her, and she was scared that her powers would increase. She wished that she could sort things out with negotiations rather than any fight.The sun's rays were entering the room through a small aperture, and it didn’t seem as frightening as it was at night. The foul smell was still troubling her anyway. “I will try to get my work done today and just leave this hell as soon as possible.” Ella thought to herself.She was glad to see the witch return to her room. “I hope you spent an awesome night in the cage, my darling.” She said it with sarcasm in her tone. Ella’s blood seemed to boil at her remark, but she still kept quiet.“Would you like to help yourself with this decoction that I have made? Trust me, you will
It was a steep hill, and so it seemed like a backbreaking task for Ella to climb the top of the hill. She could see an old building right on the topmost point of the hill. It seemed to be dark and scary from a distance. Ella wondered how these witches could survive in such a dark, old residence of theirs. She wanted to know if the witch resided there all alone or if there were more witches staying with her. She felt like she was on a trekking adventure.Ella climbed up the hill as fast as she could. She wanted to reach the building before sunset to avoid being frightened by the darkness. After climbing for almost an hour, she finally reached the top of the hill and was relieved to see Alpha Gabriel’s soldiers, who were standing scattered at secret places throughout the surrounding area.As she entered the witches’ residence, the witch appeared in front of her. She was old, and she had snaggle-toothed and sunken cheeks. She was crone-like and had wrinkles on her face as well as a wart
Alpha Gabriel left for his territory after dropping Ella off in the southern part of the island. It would take him nearly five hours to reach there, and he felt it was necessary to contact his Beta Clara on an urgent basis. Fortunately, he remembered her number, but he didn’t have his smart phone with him. He had enough gems with which he could buy a new phone but decided not to waste time over that.His glance fell at the cab driver’s smart phone as he was talking to some other customer. “Could you lend me your smart phone for a while, please? I happened to lose my phone accidentally.” Alpha Gabriel requested.“Oh! Sure. It will be my pleasure to help you, sir." He said this as he handed over his smart phone to Alpha Gabriel.He was greatly relieved and finally dialed Clara’s number. “Hello! Clara! I hope things are fine in our pack.” He asked.“Where have you been so far, Alpha? I am getting mad at the situation here, as I cannot handle it all alone considering my health.” Clara got
Ella almost dragged her body towards the outskirts of the forest. The forest seemed to be dense and unending. Alpha Gabriel walked ahead, and Ella was following her quietly. The path on which they were walking was full of thorns and was piercing Ella every now and then.“Isn’t there another path to reach the outskirts, Alpha?” Ella asked in frustration, as moving further seemed difficult."Unfortunately, this is the only way to reach the outskirts of the forest. This demon landed us in such a place that escaping from here seems tedious. If I were alone, I would have taken my wolf form and reached it by now, but as a human, waking up on this path is cumbersome.” Alpha Gabriel said:.“It is not that I don’t want to move ahead, but the path is infested with thorns, making it impossible for me to walk ahead, Alpha.” Ella complained.“I have an idea. I can carry you if you want. You are just like a baby for me—small and delicate but hot and sexy at the same time. Don’t stop me if I start t
Finally, Alpha Gabriel woke up, and he was surprised to see Ella place her head on his chest. He stroked her hair gently. “What is it, Ella? Are you getting sentimental?” he asked.“I am just trying to live up to each and every moment that I am spending with you, as I doubt that these might be the last ones.” Ella said it emotionally.Alpha Gabriel placed his hands on her lips. “Don’t speak like that. We will have more of such times in the future, I believe.” He said this as he produced the diamond necklace that was among the gems that the demon had given him as a reward. The chain seemed elegant and beautiful.“Now close your eyes, Ella.” Alpha Gabriel commanded.“Why should I close my eyes? I mean, I want to see you as much as possible before I return.” Ella asked in surprise.“Just close your eyes for a moment, Ella. Can’t you do that for me?” Alpha Gabriel requested.“Okay. I will close it for a while, but don’t be mischievous because I am already petrified in the forest, and if y
Ella was in deep slumber in Alpha Gabriel’s arms—undisturbed, unperturbed. She was doubtful if she was dreaming or if it was a reality. She saw that Lara had approached her.“Ella, are you returning back to your city tomorrow?” Lara asked.“How do you know me, Lara? We have never met each other, right?” Ella countered her.“That is not important. I know you very well.” Lara replied.“I am sorry. I don’t want to hurt you. That is the reason that I am returning to my city. I didn’t want you to see me with your mate. You have caught us red-handed. I promise that your mate will be all yours.” Ella got anxious.“Don’t be so anxious, Ella. I know that you love Alpha Gabriel. I love him too. He is so charming and strong that none of the girls can resist him.” Lara said.“What? Do you know about our relationship? But you have been unconscious since the time I reached this island, aren’t you?” Ella was surprised.“I am unconscious, but the fact is that I know everything that is happening aroun
Alpha Gabriel realized that Ella was stressed out and was disappointed by the continuous challenges that she had been facing even before reaching the witches’ residence, and so he wanted her to relax so that she would get refreshed again.“See, Ella. I have brought some fresh fish for you. As I was looking for your jeans in the water, I happened to catch them. I know that it is your favorite. Mrs. Rolex told me once.”“Am I supposed to eat them raw, Alpha? I don’t think that we have a kitchen where we can cook them, right? Don’t you remember that I am a human and not an animal, who can eat meat or fish raw?” Ella was already frustrated with the events that had recently occurred and replied in irritation.“I will cook it for you if you want, but I need your help because I will not be full eating just fish. I need to hunt a rabbit or an elk. I would feel better after consuming its meat.” Alpha Gabriel said:.“I will help you, Alpha, but do find out an easy way because I just want to sle
As Ella had feared, it was already dark, and Alpha Gabriel hadn’t returned. She was upset with Alpha Gabriel for not listening to her. As it was getting darker, her heart raced faster, and the fear kept on increasing. Although she had acquired a few traits of werewolves, she was like a normal human being, filled with anxiety and fear in the darkness of the forest.She was sitting impatiently below the wisteria plant, waiting for Alpha Gabriel to return. He had trust in him, was sure that he might return soon, and believed that there might be some strong reason for the delay.Suddenly, she heard the sawing sound of a leopard. She looked upward in the direction of the source of sound. She was startled to see a leopard sitting on the tree near the wisteria plant.She didn’t have the slightest idea how and when the agile and strong leopard had climbed the tree. It was sitting silently without making any movement. The sight of the mighty carnivore scared the wits out of her. The very next
