River's anxiety reached a new high as the severity of the vampire's words sank in. The other vampires present nodded in agreement with their brother's statement, their eyes never leaving her, disdain hidden within them. She knew these vampires weren't here to play and meant business. They all exuded so much power, that she doubted if even Gonzalo could take all of them head-on, alone. After a few seconds, she finally spoke again, this time her voice becoming more serious. She wasn't here to play as well. These vampires dared to threaten her pack and she was ready to strike down all of them if it weren't for her respect for the late Lord Draven. "Yes. Lord Driven is indeed, dead." Her tone was emotionless, and so was her expression. However, deep inside, she felt like her heart was bleeding. But she still managed to keep a calm demeanor as she continued speaking. "But believe me when I say, it wasn't my doing. I did not harm him in any way. H– he helped save my daughter..." She paus
"You did what?!" Old man Thomas's eyes bulged in shock after River summoned a few essential surviving members of the rebellion to a meeting hall at night, briefing them on her discussion with the vampires. The hall was dimly lit with fluorescent light bulbs, casting their faint blue light on the faces of the gathered wolves. Her eyes darted around the room awkwardly, but she ended up giving a defeated shrug. "These are desperate times, Thomas. I did what I had to do. Besides, the vampires will be of great help against the rogue witches." She paused, her gaze becoming solemn before she continued. "Let's be honest with ourselves... I'm still basically inexperienced when it comes to witchcraft and wouldn't be able to handle so many rogue witches on my own."Oh, that's right. River had accepted the offer from the vampires to join them in their upcoming battles so that they'd be of help against the witches. Apart from giving the vampires a good impression of herself and her pack, she'd a
At that moment when she tried relaying her plans for the upcoming battle, River couldn't help remembering Sofia.She remembered how she'd given herself sleepless nights and restless mornings while she tried drafting a battle plan for the battle for IronClaw. All without needing a caffeine boost! She was a resilient and powerful asset in their battle then, and her absence was greatly felt. But River had to be strong. She was the Alpha now and it was her job to lead these people. And she'd do that with all her might."There are still rogues dotted around the borders of the pack. And according to our scouts, they're mostly gathered around here..." She pointed at a hill on the map, drawing a circle around it. "Activities of witchcraft have been reported coming from this area. About five miles away from the pack's eastern border.""Witches!" Calantha snarled all of a sudden with bared fangs as if the enemy was right there with them. The members of the rebellion looked among themselves aw
After reviewing the plans again and discussing them a bit more extensively, the group disbanded for the night. River and Gonzalo retired to their room, exhausted."Oh, dear gods, I'm beat!" River opened the door to their room, stretching her arms like a cat. They'd gone to check up on Rain before coming to their room, but the poor girl was already asleep. River low-key felt bad that she couldn't spend time with her daughter as much as she'd like because of how busy she was, but she comforted herself with the hope that it was only temporary. Gonzalo moved slowly behind her, scratching his chin before speaking. "Yeah... I'm gonna go take a bath."He strutted past her, heading for the bathroom in their room. But then River held him back, gripping his arm gently.He turned his head, looking at her tentatively as she gave him a suggestive grin. "Why don't we bathe together? It's been a while since we did that." She whispered, pulling Gonzalo's strong right arm until it was pressed agai
[Warning: Mature content ahead]River's body trembled, as she arched her back, leaning against the cold porcelain of the bathtub. She gripped Gonzalo's hair, trying desperately to catch her breath as his fingers cuddled every inch of her legs. The contrast between the warmth of his fingers and the coldness of the water sticking to her clothes sent her into another dimension. And soon, her pleasure only increased further when his fingers got to her panties. The intensity of their kissing increased, as Gonzalo removed his lips from hers, instead placing them on her neck. His hot breath prickled her skin before a soft kiss landed on her neck. "Oh, Gonzalo..." She muttered softly, closing her eyes which became blurred with desire. She wanted him. Each time they were intimate, it was as if they hadn't touched in years. "Pequena..." He replied, his voice laced with a longing that was hard to ignore. No sooner had he said that than when his hands gripped her panties, ripping them with on
The next morning, River woke up feeling rejuvenated. It had been a while since she'd felt this happy. She felt butterflies in her stomach and couldn't stop smiling as she replayed last night's memories in her mind."Good morning, Pequena." Gonzalo's face was the first thing that greeted her, his voice snapping her out of her thoughts. He had a warm smile on his face as he gazed at her. He placed his hand on his head, looking like he'd just woken up too."Good morning, my love," River replied, her smile only getting wider. But then she squinted her eyes, looking around the room before bringing her gaze back to him. "How long have you been up?"Gonzalo shrugged before speaking. "I don't know... Maybe thirty minutes. Or an hour? Time moves fast when you're gazing at the love of your life."River's face heated up with a blush, as she tried looking away. "Don't start, Gonzalo."They both chuckled, their bodies inching closer to each other. Her eyes landed on his, and at that moment, it fel
Warning: Death and ViolenceJust then, Old man Thomas stepped forward, looking cautiously at Calantha at first. She glanced back noticing his gaze, and then to everyone's surprise and dismay, she blew him a kiss. Ew!Old man Thomas's face turned red with a blush as he coughed awkwardly before speaking. "Alpha River, good morning. May I ask why the prisoner is out?" As he said that, he shot a glance at Athea, his eyes brimming with hatred.Why wouldn't he hate her? She'd caused the death of so many, including Sofia. River drew in a deep breath before removing her intimidating gaze away from Athea and back to old man Thomas. As soon as her eyes landed on him, a bright smile took shape on her face as she spoke. "Good morning, Thomas. Yeah, uhh... Athea here..." She paused, glancing briefly at her yet again before continuing. "Is going to be one of the messengers that we'll be sending to the rogues."As expected, old man Thomas's eyes widened with shock, as he opened his mouth, lost on
Later that same day, in the early hours of the afternoon, Old Man Thomas and a few other people including two women from the rebellion and two pack soldiers, were sent to relay River's message to the rogues. They were given a map that would guide them to the hill the rogues surrounding the woods made their main gathering point.As for River, Gonzalo, and Calantha, they followed behind them stealthily, stopping on top of a tree about five hundred meters away, as Old man Thomas and his group finally approached the hill. The couple were able to view the hill clearly thanks to their enhanced wolf sight and the same happened with Calantha and her vampire senses.River brushed a strand of her hair away from her face before asking. "Do you guys think they'll be okay?" Calantha simply glanced at her from the branch above them before replying. "Now you ask us? Relax, little witch. Your plan is going to work and your men will be just fine." River nodded absentmindedly, but she couldn't help
The air was filled with noises of music and laughter later that night. Every civilian member of the new Moon claw pack got dressed in their best wears as they swarmed the old Iron claw pack house in their numbers. The pack house itself was filled to the brim with people chattering and laughing among themselves. The large hall which was the venue of the celebration was decorated with d colorful disco light up ahead as a slow jazz music played in the DJ played a soft jazz music. Meanwhile, River was a little nervous as she got dressed with the help of Calantha, Claire and some maids. "Luna, relax, you look great." Claire assured her with a warm smile as she put the finishing touches on her wavy auburn hair. She was seated, facing a mirror, tapping her foot nervously as she looked up at the clock. "He hasn't picked up his phone in an hour. What if something came up?" She paused, her eyes lingering on the shimmering red dress she wore. "Besides, I don't think red is really my color...
The days moved fast again until the day finally came. The day of the celebration for the creation of the new Moon claw pack. River woke up that morning, stretching lazily on her bed. Today was special for three reasons actually. There'd be a full moon tonight and then the celebration for the creation of the pack.Wolves from both sides of the territory would be coming together in the old Iron Claw's pack house to celebrate. The place where it'd all begun…But also, today was the day of the official opening of 'Luna's Delight '. The restaurant had been set for days now, but River wanted a big opening. One that would coincide with a day of celebration.Gonzalo was currently at his side of the pack, preparing some things. They were constructing a new pack house, one that would represent the essence of their new pack while also giving the both of them a chance to stay together again. She already missed her charming Spanish prince, even though they'd last seen the previous morning.She g
ONE WEEK LATER . Things were looking good ever since their declaration for a joint pack. The new pack of 'Moon Claw' observed days of celebrations after the announcement. As for River, well, she finally did something she'd been meaning to do in a while. "Ta da!" She exclaimed excitedly, after taking off the blind folds from Gonzalo and Rain's faces. What stood before them was a large building with only a group floor and a neon sign board that read "Luna's Delight". It was still under construction—some site workers still going around and adding finishing touches, but it was basically done. It was a restaurant. Her very own restaurant situated at the border between old IronClaw and old Moonstone. They both gasped in surprise, looking between her and the building repeatedly. After a while, Gonzalo rushed up to her, lifting her in a hug. "Ugh. Pequena, I'm so happy for you! Your dreams are finally a reality." He blurted excitedly before dropping her to the ground. "I m
Hand in hand, River and Gonzalo walked out of the pack house, trailing behind Claire. As they did, they were greeted by civilians, all showing their respect and gratitude for their Alpha. "Thank you for saving us, Alpha Gonzalo!" "He's a hero. I got to see my son again because of him." A woman muttered to her friend with a grateful tone. "And look, isn't that River of the IronClaw pack?" "Apparently, it's 'Alpha River' now. She rules over her pack now." A man who'd been staying in River's pack provided casually. "What? Since when?" "Who cares? We wouldn't have gotten our pack back without her help too. They're both heroes." A blush crept up her face when she heard those words. She tried ignoring them like Gonzalo, but she just couldn't. Knowing that these people saw her as their hero brought pride to her heart. She was beyond touched. They finally got to the town square, which was packed to the brim with pack members. Men, women, and children from all works of life were gat
An old quote River once read says: "The aftermath of war is not just about rebuilding, but also reconnecting with what we love and stand for". Well, there was a lot of reconnecting and rebuilding to do, and the war wasn't over yet. They still had one more thing to do. They had to reclaim Gonzalo's territory from the rogues. "It's a simple plan. No diversions. No baits. And most of all, we're killing every rogue in sight." River spoke calmly as she drew a circle around a part of a large map where Gonzalo's territory lay. The moonstone pack's citizens have been seeking refuge in the IronClaw pack for a while, courtesy of the fake Echo, but there were still some imprisoned back in the pack by the rogues. Gathered in the dimly lit meeting hall were River and her advisors, which included Old Man Thomas, Gonzalo, Calantha, Claire from the rebellion, and also two other men from the rebellion. They stood around a table, their faces stern with one thing in mind. Victory. "I've sent spies
River woke up the next morning, her body aching like an old woman's. Last night was wild! She and Gonzalo literally had hours of 'naked cuddle sessions ' from dusk till dawn. She turned to look at the clock. Eleven AM! Shit, time goes by fast when you're overrun with pleasure! She tried getting up but only then realized that she was lying on top of Gonzalo's chest, his arms wrapped around her naked body. The man was drained, and she couldn't help feeling bad. Her face flushed with embarrassment when she remembered how she'd repeatedly used magic to increase his vigor and stamina whenever he reached orgasm. It was like having infinite strength, but there was only so much magic could do when it was used to offset the natural balance of a wolf's anatomy. The constant use of magic on both of them had them drained. Would they even be able to do anything today? Just then, Gonzalo turned, but his grasp on her body didn't lessen in the slightest. He blinked awkwardly as his eyes trie
Warning: Mature content The days after the battle at BloodHill were rather peaceful. River and Gonzalo enjoyed that moment of peace, using it to reconnect with themselves and also to spend more time with Rain. Emphasis on the ‘’reconnecting’ though. Their nights had been more steamier than ever, and they had some of the best sex since they took over IronClaw. Good moon goddess, have mercy, if she could just stay all night and all day having sex with her man, she would. But sadly, she had her duties as Alpha to attend to. And it was an unrealistic wish anyway. Unless…...“You want us to do what?” Gonzalo blurted out again when they'd entered their room one night and were about to get freaky. He arched his eyebrows in surprise, looking at her like she'd said the vilest thing known to werewolf, witch, heck even vampire kind. River purred playfully, as her hands went up his chest. “Come on, think about it. If I'm able to use my magic to increase your stamina, we'll be able to go
Warning: Some graphic scenesCalantha was relentless, as she bared her fangs at the rogue wolves, managing to intimidate a lot of them. She jumped down from the elevated area, causing the rogues on the ground to make way. The other four of her brethren also jumped down, snarling viciously at the rogues, but most especially the rogue witches who'd just lost two sisters.River smirked. That was her cue. She'd managed to gather enough magic up to that point and wiggled her fingers, concentrating all of it on her chains. It took some effort, but eventually, the chains fell off like threads, startling the rogue wolves watching over her and Gonzalo.“What the–?” The female rogue who she'd mind-controlled for that brief moment looked at her with bulged eyes and was about to draw out her weapon. However, River was faster as she brought out the two daggers strapped to her thighs, slashing the rogue on the chest first and then on her neck. It was so swift and the rogue was speechless, as she
The cave indeed had a large interior. The ceiling was lined with jagged stalactites, hanging over them like giant icicles and casting eerie shadows on them. The cave was lit up by several fire torches, and also by a large hole carved into the ceiling, which allowed moonlight to glimmer down like a wave, falling directly on a stone altar.The cave was filled with even more rogue wolves and was blossoming with activities. However, it all died down when the others from outside brought in River and Gonzalo. "Brethren!" The old hag raised her staff into the air triumphantly. "Behold, the hybrid Alpha of the IronClaw pack and her mate, the fallen Alpha of the Moonstone pack! The ones responsible for taking our hold on the IronClaw territory."The rogue wolves snarled, throwing a torrent of curses at River and Gonzalo. They dropped them to the ground, forcing her to kneel while Gonzalo lay there, groaning as his face hit the ground. Ignoring their plight, the 'maiden' of the trio of witche
