Cruel, strong, merciless… These were the words often used to describe Alpha Blade. His heart was encased in ice, nobody ever thought he’d be capable of loving someone. Until one fateful day, he meets a sweet human girl, who’s able to melt his heart with a simple smile. But how could a werewolf be mated to a human? Let’s just say, he’s been keeping one too many secrets from everyone.

Nathan laughed as the young girl tackled him in a hug.
"You're back! I missed you so much," Madeline exclaimed, her face buried in his chest.
He embraced her in his arms, glad to finally see his sister again. "I missed you too, kiddo."
Like most young men in his pack, he had left for a couple weeks for training at the Mystic Moon pack to enhance his abilities. Supposedly, this Pack had the harshest, most arduous training program, aimed to create the strongest soldiers.
Madeline could tell how hard her brother had been working; his muscles were much more defined, and he seemed in desperate need of rest. "How was it?" She asked, lifting her head up to look at him.
"Well, I survived." He answered tiredly. A frown formed on her face, seeing how exhausted he was. She pulled away from the hug and grabbed his hand, leading him to their house.
"If I knew you were going to be back today I would've baked your favourite cake for you. Anyway, you really should go sleep." Nathan smiled at how caring his sister was.
His smile slowly faded as he wondered what her reaction to the news would be: he had been specially selected to be a warrior at the Mystic Moon Pack due to his remarkable strength. He was sent back for a few hours to pack his belongings, before leaving his home forever. Being able to serve such a powerful Pack was a great honor for him, but he knew that his sister would be absolutely devastated by this.
Madeline wasn't like other werewolves. Literally; she was a human being.
Nathan's parents found her abandoned, deep in a forest when she was only a baby. They took pity and raised her alongside their own son. Growing up in a Pack amongst other werewolves, the human was constantly teased and bullied. Only her brother stood up for her; he grew very protective of her, beating up anyone who dared to lay a finger on his little sister.
The pack slowly became more accepting of the human girl. During her teenage years, she turned much more talkative and extroverted, growing out of her shell. She found a love for baking, regularly making treats and generously sharing them for the entire pack to enjoy. The werewolves now considered her the Pack sweetheart; she brought life and joy to the community. Despite her hard past, she always smiled brightly and treated everyone with utmost kindness.
Laying in his bed, Nathan pondered on how he would break the news to her. Her brother leaving forever is definitely not something she'll take lightly; the two have been together their entire lives. "... I'm too tired. I'll talk to her when I wake up."
-----
"You're leaving... forever?" Madeline sniffled, trying to fight back her tears. Nathan sighed; it always broke his heart to see his younger sister cry.
"I'm sorry Maddie, I wish I could bring you with me. I'll still call you and visit you sometimes, alright? It's not like we'll never see each other again."
"But... I don't want to be alone," She said, whispering the last part. Her brother's frown deepened. "Do you really have to go?"
"Alpha Blade picked me out to be a warrior himself. I can't say no to him," He explained.
"Who even is that?" His eyes widened at her question.
"You've never heard of Alpha Blade?" Nathan could not believe it. He was a notoriously strong Alpha; people described him as cruel, monstrous, ruthless, the list goes on. Rumor has it that he has killed hundreds, if not thousands of people. Nathan vividly remembered his immensely powerful aura when they first met; he was almost shivering in fear. There was no way he could've said no when the Alpha requested him to be his warrior.
"Well... In short, he's a very powerful Alpha."
"You should've pretended to be weak so he wouldn't pick you."
"Why? It's an honor to be specially chosen to fight alongside with him. As much as I don't want to leave you, I can't turn down this opportunity." Madeline looked down as the tears finally fell down her eyes. Nathan pulled her closer, rubbing her back soothingly. "Don't cry, you know I hate to see you cry."
"Then don't leave," She wept into his shoulder.
"You'll be fine without me. You have the rest of the pack members to protect you." She continued crying softly into his shirt, drawing a deep sigh out of him. "I'm 20 years old now, I can't stay here forever."
Madeline reflected on his words for a moment. "Sorry. I'm being really selfish, aren't I?" She pulled away from his arms, looking at him in the eyes. "You deserve to do what makes you happy. I shouldn't hold you back," She avowed, wiping the tears from her cheeks. Deep down, she didn't want to let him go, but she knew she had to.
Nathan glanced at his wristwatch. "Alpha Blade is arriving in about 5 minutes. I should get ready to leave. Take care, I promise I'll come visit as often as I can." Nathan gave his sister a smile before grabbing his already-packed bags and setting them outside. He didn't have to pack much, since the Alpha assured him that he'd be provided with everything he needs there.
"Nathan?" Madeline asked, poking her head out the door. "Your cake is ready. At least eat a slice before you go, please?"
"You made a cake for me? Thank you, I'll be there in a minute."
Dread engulfed him as he saw a black luxury SUV pull up in front of his house. "Stop being scared of him Nathan," He thought to himself. "He won't hurt you. You're his warrior now." The windows of the car rolled down as he approached it.
"Good evening, Alpha."
The man simply nodded in response. "Ready to go?" His voice was strong and sonorous, sending a slight shiver down Nathan's spine.
The young man glanced back at his house, before mustering up the courage to speak. "Would you like to come inside and have some cake first?"
Tilting his head to the side, the Alpha's eyes met his. His gaze was so intense, Nathan held his breath. "Cake?"
"... Well, my sister made a cake for me, and I think she'd appreciate if you came to eat it too. Or, if you're in a hurry, I'll just say goodbye to her and we can leave," He blurted out.
"There's no hurry. Take your time, I'll wait." Nathan frowned, not liking the idea of the Alpha waiting outside.
"Please come in sir, she makes the best cakes. Besides, you said you had things to discuss with me, right? We should go talk inside."
He thought for a moment, before finally opening his side of the door, stepping out and locking the car behind him. Nathan smiled gratefully and led him inside.
The Alpha's nostrils were instantly filled with a strong, sweet vanilla scent. "It must be the cake," He thought, although a feeling in his heart told him otherwise. He brushed it off and sat down at the dining table. In front of him stood a small layered cake, beautifully frosted with buttercream, and decorated with fruits. He wasn't a big fan of sweets, but accepted a slice of the cake anyway. To his surprise, it tasted delicious.
The two males spent the next couple of minutes discussing Nathan's schedule and activities as a warrior once he'd arrive to his new pack. There was a war coming in the near future, and the young man was expected to fight on the frontlines.
Madeline sauntered downstairs to say her final goodbyes to her brother, but stopped in her tracks. She didn't want to interrupt the seemingly important conversation he was having. "Too late," She thought, as they had both already noticed her.
Alpha Blade's eyes scanned her entire body, taking in her small frame. She wore a flowy, peach-colored dress, which hugged her slim figure nicely and complimented her skin tone well. His gaze drifted up to her face, and his breath hitched. She was absolutely beautiful; he could not take his eyes off her. He had seen many pretty girls before, but something about her was enthralling. "Why is she making me feel like this?" His muscles stiffened when he realized what was happening.
"Mate," His wolf growled.
➳ Today was the day; Madeline would officially be crowned as the Luna of the Mystic Moon Pack. Her favourite flowers were planted all around the entire territory, with strings of garlands decorating each building and fairy lights hanging around the lampposts, all in her honor. Matthew had even built a giant, golden fountain for her, surrounded by a garden of flowers, right in the middle of their territory. Although he was not a fan of parties at all, he ordered this to be the greatest celebration the Pack has ever had. He loved nothing more than cherishing and spoiling his little mate. "This is all... For me?" Madeline breathed out, staring at fountain in disbelief. She looked down at the array of flowers underneathit, involuntarily taking a step back; it was all so beautiful. Hechuckled, hugging her waist from behind and resting his head on top of hers. "Doll, this is nothing compared to all the gifts you'll&nbs
➳The water gently travelleddown the stream, springing over the limestone rocks along its path. Each droplet glimmered like thousands of infinitesimal diamonds as they reflected the sun's glare. Standingpeacefully in the background, the birch groves bestoweda pleasant shade to the girl who sat in the garden, staring at the river thoughtfully.Madeline's investiture was to take place soon; she would officially become the Luna of the Mystic Moon Pack.Such an event should be thrilling, but she could not help but brood over it. "Will my Pack accept me?" When she was a human not long ago, the werewolves had all regarded her with disdain, refusing to speak to her or even glance in her direction.Not to mention, she was not a werewolf herself. How can a direwolf and a former human ever fit in, let alone be their Luna?She doesn't belong here with us.Absentmindedly, her gaze driftedto t
➳"You're the cutest thing I've ever seen, you know that?" Madeline stared with adoration as she gently rocked the baby in her arms. "Oh, and I got you a new toy!" She reached into her bag and grabbed a pink rattle, shaking it around. The newborn giggled joyfully, her tiny fingers reaching for the object. "Do you like it? It even has your name on it, see?""You spoil my daughter more than I do," The Beta female laughed, watching the two from the doorway.The young girl simply smiled in response. "It's not my fault she's so adorable.""You know Maddie, Ithink you'd make a great mother someday."She blinked, clearly taken aback by the Beta's words. "... Really?""Of course, kids love you."Effervescent feelings bloomed inside of her at the thought of becoming a mother. She shook her head, remindingherself that she was not even eighteen yet."Thank you, but I'm still to young for that.""
➳A ticklish sensation abovehis cheststirred him awake. Matthew sleepily opened his eyes, squinting at the sunlight that peered through the curtains. His mate laid on top of him, her face digging into his neck as she sniffed him rather aggressively."What are you doing?" His voice came out deep and husky, laced with sleep.Madeline lifted her head to look at him. "Why do you smell so good?It's like you dipped yourself in chocolate. Mmmh..."The corners of his lips curved upwards. "That is my scent. You can finally smell it now that you're a wolf." He reached up to grab her hands, sinking his fingers into spaces between hers. Her body melted at his touch while she stared at their interlocked hands in awe."Do you feel that too? It's like, tingling every time you touch me," She marvelled, giving hishands a small squeeze."I've been feeling this ever since we met." His arms travelled down to wrap arou
➳The full moon gleamed brightly in the sky, despite the balefulclouds billowing the horizon. In the air wafted thefresh, earthy aroma of petrichor. A storm was brewing up, Matthew could smell it. He longed forthe safety of his home, yet he could not go back.There was a deep ache in his bones. Each step came with a blaze of pain as the ten-year-old boyhiked up the mountain. His head grew dizzier with each minute, buthe did not stop.If he wanted to live, he had to keep going.Matthew scolded himself for leaving his house. "If you just stayed home, everything would'vebeen fine." But it was too late now. They had smelled his scent. If he were to return home, he would only lead the direwolf hunters to his family. His only option was to hide and pray they would not find him.A loud clap of thunder made the young boy jump, his foot slipping off the roc
➳Sunlit clouds drifted across thesky whiletree branches danced in the balmy wind. The office was pleasantly illuminated bygentlesunbeams infiltratingthe opened windows. As he stared outside, Matthew could have sworn something was watching him.He shook the thoughtout of his head, turning his attention to the blank notepad on his desk.After pensively clicking his pen a few times, he began scribbling:Pros of turning Maddie into a direwolf :- Mate-bond- Mind-link- Pups- Increase her strength- Increase her lifespanCons of turning Maddie into a direwolf :- Cat might refuse to get out of her- No more drunk MaddieHe stared at the list contemplatively. There were more pros than cons, butwas it worth it? "She's so cute when she's drunk though-""Matthew!" His mate's
➳Wearing a cheerfulsmile, Madeline strolled around the neck of the woods. It was the Mystic Moon's annual Fighter Day, a day dedicated to celebrating the strength and courage of the Pack's warriors.The pavements around the territory were decorated with banners and graceful archways, bloomingflowers of all colors were planted all around the land, and a joyful aura flowed through the atmosphere. The men engaged in friendly fights to refine their skills, while children ran and played together in the distance.A tug on her skirt made her turn around. Behind her stood a little boy, his hands grasping the fabric of her clothes."Hello," He uttered, grinning adorably. "Are those cupcakes?"Madeline crouched down to meet the boy's height, her smile widening. "Do you want one?"He nodded eagerly and reached to grab theconfection. "Thank you, Miss.""Noah! Get back here." A woman ordered, rushing over to
➳"And you know he keeps a calendar for my periods? I pretended like I didn'tnotice it but I was so embarrassed. I mean I guess it's kind of sweetthat he cares that much about me- Mittens? Where are you going?" Madeline perched herself up the edge of the tub to look at the cat, who was just sitting on the counter a few seconds ago. "I was talking to you. It's really rude to just leave in the middle of a conversation like that. I know you're just a cat,but still."The girl watched curiously as he frantically ran around the large bathroom, before jumping into the laundry basket and hiding under the clothes. "What a strange cat," She thought, standing up. Now that the animal was out of sight, she could finally get out of the tub without anyone looking at her.Or so she thought.Matthew barged into the bathroom, sniffing around."Where is it?"With a scream, Madeline quickly covered herself w
➳Madeline wandered through the meadow, the cool breeze blowing through her hair. Now that the long winter had come to an end, it was finally warm enough for her to enjoy a nice walk outside again.A bright smile formed on her face when she arrived at the garden. It was wide and colorful, sloping gently down a turquoise-blue river. Groves of peaceful birch trees surrounded it, casting idyllic shadows onto the lush, green grass, while lettinga few glinting sunbeams through here and there. In the middle stood a large bed of roses in the shape of a heart,pink and blue; her favorite colors.Matthew had built this garden a few weeks ago for her seventeenth birthday as a present, along with giving her multiple sets of diamond jewelry, and throwing a grand party for the entire Pack to celebrate her special day. She was blown away by how much money he had spent on her. Just spending the day with him would havebeen enough of a gift f
