Everyone in the hall fell silent at the entrance of the two leaders. Numerous pairs of eyes watched their every step as they made their way in front of the hall. The former pack alpha, clad in his usual white attire stood in front, a stoic expression on his face. Beside him stood the Pack Luna, whose features were hidden behind her usual veil. There was a certain tension as the hall fell silent, that even Nicholas who was standing beside Ainar looked tense, back as straight as a plank as he gazed upfront. It’s affecting Ainar too. But his desire to know what happened and at possibly being a step closer into finding Gavin is overpowering.
Despite himself, Ainar waited with everyone—all equally eager for the news. The lack of urgency is getting into his nerves, stressing him out. But he guesses the Tundra has their own way of dealing with things. If this happened in Moon Valle
Pain. It’s the first thing his body registered when he gained consciousness. He wasn’t even aware of when and how he fell asleep again. But now he’s awake for the nth time, and he is once again enveloped in pain. His whole body is aching. It’s a cycle at this point. One that he had fallen into without a choice, ever since he was taken. Weird. That seems to be a trend in his life. To wake up in pain. That seems to happen a lot to him. Did he exist just to suffer? Does living means to suffer? Or is he a special case? The back of his head is throbbing from where he was hit by something hard. He thinks it even bled at one point. But the tightness he feels from it tells him that maybe it’s all dried up and gross by now. It doesn’t make it hurt any less though. If anything, he thinks it only hurts more. The ache in his body is different though. It’s not the kind of ache that one gets from being hit, like the one in his head feels. The pain feels more internal, reminiscent of his previ
"WINTER FLOWER: BLOOM FOR THE ALPHA" written by peachesandme STORY NOTES: In this A/B/O verse, BETAS and ALPHAS can get pregnant (female) but with varying fertility rate/level. Alphas are able to impregnate omegas with INCREDIBLY HIGH SUCCESS RATE, but they have the LOWEST SUCCESS RATE when it comes to getting pregnant. OMEGAS are looked down upon for their rank being the lowest. Since ALPHAS have very low fertility rate, if the mated pair are BOTH ALPHAS, they usually just get an OMEGA to carry a pup for them. This, of course, requires trust from both parties. But there are mated pairs (both alphas) who, of course, take risks to breed on their own despite this and succeeds. It is difficult for a FEMALE ALPHA to get pregnant since they have no heat hence they do it during their rut. But a battle of domina
“Oh, he looks so precious,” the elder whispered as she passed the baby to its mother.“He is, isn’t he?” the mother whispered back, busy admiring her son’s features. He’s perfect. The perfect child of snow.The baby’s nose scrunched, arms coming up into a stretch. They fought not to coo loudly.“I wonder what he’ll be. Will he take after his strong alpha father?”“It doesn’t matter. I’ll love him all the same.”“He’ll be so beautiful. I can’t wait to see him grow up,” her mate said. He is fondly gazing at his mate and their new pup; he has his eldest son in his arms. They both stare at the pup in wonder and amazement.His mate looked at
“Are you sure about this?” his father asked for the nth time that day. He’s busy sharpening the blade of his arrow.He sighed before putting it down and turning to look at him.He looked up at his father, taking notes of the lines marring his face now. The youthful glow he once had now fading. It’s the result of leading a pack, he knows, it’s exhausting. Aside from that is the constant nagging of their pack elders, putting pressure on his father to finally let him take over the reign. And Ainar, he’s ready, he grew up watching his father lead the pack, he knows he’s ready. But something a pack leader should have to be taken seriously is a mate. And Ainar doesn’t have that yet. So here they are, on their way to look for one.“I am, Father,” he replied.He heard his father sigh.“Do you really not want to just choose
Gavin swallowed down a yelp, scrambling to secure the pieces of woods he is holding when someone bumped onto him quite hard. He hugged the pieces of woods closer to his chest, undoubtingly making his already dirty tunic dirtier, but he can’t lose them. He’ll be punished for sure.He turned his head to see who it was. It turns out to be Leroy, an alpha the same age as him. He has a smug look on his face while looking at him. He pushed his lips into a thin line as he watched the alpha walk away. He internally sighed. Seriously, what do they get by treating him like this? Aren’t they tired? They’ve been doing this his whole life; will they ever stop?He gets nudged, the woods he’s carrying almost flying for the second time in a row.“Move, freak. We don’t have time for you to just be standing there,” an elderly omega hissed. She shouldered her way past him. Gavin inhaled a lun
For a moment, they stood there staring at each other, taking everything in. Gavin’s eyes trailed from the man’s eyes to his features. What was his name, Ainar? Alpha Ainar? Ainar has a darker shade of hair, the darkest he’s seen among the members of his pack present. The alpha has a small nose and pretty pink lips. He’s lean, his build big but still slightly smaller than the rest. He wouldn’t think the guy is the alpha if not for his eyes glinting gold right now. The moment was broken when he breathed in and smelled the mixed scents of everyone present. Some are in disbelief, irritation, and the most potent is anger. He looked around and saw everyone staring at them. He tried not to cough as their scents invade his nostrils. “This doesn’t make sense,” one omega said loudly, gaining the attention of everyone there. Ainar, though, kept his gaze firmly at him. He’s starting to feel conscious, feeling small under the piercing gaze. “What doesn’t?” a deep voice replied. He looked up t
It feels a little awkward for Gavin who is also a wolf to be riding on the back of a wolf but he kept quiet. They are moving at a steady pace; he can feel the impatience of the other wolves with them but they know they can’t go any faster because of Gavin. He swallows past the discomfort and focused on his surroundings. They’re deep in the forest, tall trees completely surrounding them. They left exactly at sunrise and the sun is at its peak right now. Ainar, the wolf he’s on, eventually stopped along with his pack members. He lowered his body to the ground allowing Gavin to get off him. Gavin looked at them confused. The pack alpha, standing at the very front of their line in front of them, stared at him before he suddenly started shifting. The other wolves followed.Gavin busied his eyes looking at the trees, to give them some form of privacy. He heard some rustling of fabrics, them wearing their clothes, he looked back when he deemed it long
The pack welcomes them, but not exactly happily. They rejoice at the sight of their alpha, happy to finally have him back. But as soon as they smell Gavin, their excitement dampens. They have sent their pack members on a journey, all expectant of the pack alpha’s future mate, high hopes for their pack’s future. But as soon as they return, they see an omega. A mere breeder, who cannot even shift but they don’t know that yet. An omega. Gavin, himself, would be disappointed too. Some pack members tried to give him a smile, murmuring their welcome. Some just stared at him, almost incredulous. They did not even bother to hide their disbelief. How did Gavin even think that his life would be more peaceful here? They were ushered to the center of the pack grounds. Before he knows it, he’s sitting on a chair at the left side of the Pack Alpha while Ainar was sent to sit on his right. The seat is obviously meant for an alpha too. The chair is huge
