Rayvin was more nervous than she wanted to admit as they walked back to the pack house. Mikael had a firm grip on her hand and she tried to focus on the feeling of the sparks dancing over her skin where he touched her. This was a big step for her. She hadn’t even told her own pack what she was. Alpha Brutus knew, of course, as did his son and their gamma that had trained her. But that was it. Now she had told Mikael that he should tell everyone. It was scary, but she felt it was necessary. If she was going to do this, if she wanted to give this a real chance. She knew she couldn’t keep any secrets. Mikael seemed to notice her mood. He stopped before they got to the door and looked at her. “Are you okay with this?” he asked her. “I’m nervous, but okay,” she smiled at him. “You would tell me if you weren’t, right?” “Of course I would. When have I ever told you what you wanted to hear?” she said, tilting her head as she looked at him.“Good point,” he nodded, and started walking a
“Relax, Max, I didn’t expect you to be a monk. You’re an alpha, a good-looking one for that. I don’t care,” she chuckled and took a swipe of beer. He looked up at her. He still looked hesitant, as if it was a trap. Rayvin felt sorry for him and put her beer down and turned so that she faced him. “Listen to me, Max. I don’t care who you have seen or how many. As long as they are in the past, that’s where they will stay. Okay?” she said. He relaxed and smiled.“Okay,” he nodded, and took another sip of beer. “Besides, it’s not like I’m a virgin,” she said, making Mikael splutter out his beer and start coughing.“Are you okay?” she asked, worried.She let go of his hand and got up to gently pat him on the back.“You can’t say things like that,” he wheezed.“What? That I’m not a virgin? Do you have a problem with that?” she asked. Looking at him as he drew in a breath a little too quickly, which triggered another round of coughing. “No,” he finally got out. “But when you talk about it
“You have good reasons why you hold back Ray. I don’t have a problem with it. I’m happy,” Mikael smiled. Rayvin looked into his eyes and couldn’t help but to smile back. She was happy too, she never thought she would have this, and now she had Mikael. The thought was dizzying. “I really want to kiss you, Ray,” Mikael confessed.Rayvin acted before she had time to think it through too carefully. She put a hand on his shoulder and closed the distance between them. The moment their lips met sparks erupted throughout her body.Mikael seemed taken by surprise, but soon recovered and took a hold of her nape and deepened the kiss. His soft lips were demanding against hers, egging her on. His hand around her drew her in closer to him. As she let out a sigh in contentment, he let his tongue find its way into her mouth. Rayvin lost all concept of time as they kissed. Both her arms were wrapped around Mikael’s neck. His hand around her nape holding her tightly and with his other arm, he made
Rayvin happily continued eating. The food tasted amazing and she was hungry after the morning’s run. Mikael watched her eat.“What?” she asked when he continued.“Nothing, I just thought you had outgrown your sweet tooth and had gone all health nut,” he smiled, looking at her plate. It largely was covered in pancakes, fruit and syrup. There was a small pile of scrambled eggs and a good amount of bacon. She shrugged. “Why would I do that?” she asked.“Yeah, it sounded wrong the moment I heard myself say it,” he laughed and swiped a strip of bacon off her plate and started eating it.“Hey! Next time there will be a fork in your hand, alpha boy,” she warned him. He just laughed and kissed her. After they were finished eating, they headed up to Mikael’s office with Ben and Diana. Mikael led Rayvin over to the couch and sat next to her with his arm around her shoulders. “So, what did you find?” he asked Ben and Diana. “Everything looked okay. I have sent pictures to your email,” Dian
“You can shift your body temperature, you can drink scolding coffee, you have scales that act as armour,” Mikael started counting on his fingers. “I’m guessing you withstanding my father’s alpha command should be included,” he then added.Rayvin, that had been nodding up until then, frowned. “Not really, but kind of,” she said. “Could you be any vaguer?” he laughed.“Sorry,” she smiled. “I’m not used to talking about this, not even my alpha and I talk openly about it,” she admitted.“Am I making you uncomfortable?” he asked her.“No, I just realised that I don’t really know how to explain everything. It hasn’t exactly been explained to me. I just have learned along the way,” she smiled. “But let’s start with the alpha command. If you have a human in your pack, can you use the command on them?” she asked Mikael.“You know I can’t,” he huffed.“Why not?” she asked.“You know this Ray,” he said.“Yes, but tell me anyway,” she insisted.“The alpha command only works on shifters, as it
“Of course,” Mikael said with a small smile, and took Rayvin’s hand. They walked to her car in silence. Rayvin knew that this was hard for Mikael, it was hard for her as well. Her body and her animals objected to the idea of going off pack land without her mate. They hadn’t marked and mated, and Milly was here. Rayvin had a feeling she should remain to stake her claim.But she also knew she had to go. The sooner this investigation was over, the sooner she could start focusing on her new life. Somewhere between yesterday afternoon and today, she had stopped seeing this as something that would end and started seeing it as permanent.If she was lucky, she would find this Frank by the end of the day and she could write up her report. Mikael and she could go over to Graham and his luna and give them the report in person. Rayvin was curious about luna Bella. She would like to meet this omega luna. They arrived at her car. Mikael tugged on her hand so she ended up in his arms. “Be careful
Mikael missed Rayvin the moment she got in her car and drove off. With a heavy sigh, he turned around to head up to the pack house. He could as well get some work out of the way so he could spend time with Rayvin when she got back. He thought about the knives she had on her and shook his head. He understood that as an agent of the Mistvalley pack; she was well trained. But silver knives. Those could cause a lot of damage even with a small knick. He knew he had to accept who she was, but his alpha protectiveness was acting up. He sat down at his desk and started looking through reports of the chains of gyms he owned. It was just one of the business ventures that he had that helped the pack by creating job opportunities, giving them a stable income and a standing in the human world. The gyms looked to be doing good. Werewolves were naturally prone to training and as they naturally had toned bodies and good physical appearance, humans prefer their instructors before human ones. There
Rayvin parked her car next to the house as she arrived home. She took out her phone and texted Mikael.R: I’m home, I just need to take the groceries inside and I’ll come to the pack house.M: I’ll send someone to take the groceries inside, come straight to my office. R: OK, on my way.Rayvin frowned as she walked to the pack house. One of the pack members that was working in the kitchen was walking towards her. “Luna, the alpha asked me to unpack your car. Is it locked?” the man asked.“No, and you just need to take the grocery bags that are in the trunk,” Rayvin told him.“Yes, luna,” he nodded and Rayvin started walking to the pack house again. She quickly walked up the stairs and was about to knock on the door when it opened and Mikael pulled her into a tight hug. “Hi,” she said and returned the hug. “Hi,” he said, letting go of her just to take her hand and walk inside. Ben was standing at the window that looked out over the drive and the village. Rayvin saw the worry on hi
