Chapter 13 | Entrée
We eventually arrived at another store with baked goods on display in the windows. The smell of the bread and cookie was drool-worthy. I licked my lips in an attempt to savor the delicious smell. I heard Nix chuckle on my side and I gently jabbed him and rolled my eyes. I didn’t know that an enforcer can tease and make jokes.
As we walked inside the bakeshop, a woman in her thirties raised her head, wiping the flour off her brown apron. "Ah, Nix, it's good to see you again.” She turned to look at me and asked, her motherly voice reminding me of my late mother, “Who's your friend?"
Nix grinned as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me in closer to his side. "This is Etheral," Nix said glancing at me and then back to the lady.
The smile on the lady’s face was replaced with confusion. She gaped at Nix and said, “Wait, I can’t believe this. Are you two—?” The lady shifted her gaze between me and Nix.
She clapped her mouth when Nix kissed my

The dining hall was filled with delightful food wafting by my nose. The hall was pleasant and gorgeously decorated. I remembered my original pack’s dining hall where my parents would serve me my favorites every time. My original pack was as beautiful as this pack, it smells like home.We were seated at a long rectangular wooden table and after we ate our first meal, Henry opened a topic and the conversation just went on and on casually, diving into different memories – their worst and best ones.I laughed as Greg told me about what his whole class did during their graduation ceremony. Greg said that they didn’t attend the ceremony and just ran away to the forest in their wolf form. It was as if they are claiming their freedom. Greg even called it 'Free Doom of the Dumbs.' Before taking a drink, I shook my head at his stories. Henry and Soren were part of Greg’s mischievous moments. Henry took the spotlight and exaggerated his own version of thei

I turned around and cast a glance at the approaching Luna. She kept her gaze fixed on us and planted a subtle smile on her delicate face. The Luna walks with grace, carrying that always bright aura – not the kind of bright aura that will hurt your eyes but that brightness where it calms you down. I smiled and Nix found my face looking somewhere else then he followed my gaze.Nix smiled as Luna approached and patted his shoulder. "Mary, how are you? How are things going?" he asked.The Luna sighed in relief. "Good. I just need to figure out where your mate is going to sleep tonight. After that, my evening tasks will be complete."Nix and I both turned red at the subject while Luna giggled at our reaction. Even if the mate bond was only partially formed and is not yet complete, most mates were unable to sleep if they were separated. And if they both sleep in one bed, it will make both of them touchier and increased the male's protectiveness. That could mean

I slowly awoke and realized I couldn't move my legs. I opened my eyes and blinked in the dim morning light streaming in through the window. Nix had moved to the middle of the bed and cradled me against his chest as he curled up around me at some point during the night. My back was against his chest, and both of his arms were protectively encircling me. He'd drawn his legs up to form another wall, and his face was lightly pressed into the fur on my neck. Even with my small wolf form, I had no chance of wriggling out of his embrace.But rather than getting out of his arms, I chose to unwind by listening to the soothing sound of his breathing and heartbeat. My senses told me that no one was awake in the rooms inside the pack house yet, except for the sentries and patrols that had been guarding the borders and gates all night. I closed my eyes but after a while, I couldn’t sleep again so I decided to see if I could break free from Nix's grip. I wiggled my way out of Nix's g

I went closer to Nix’s side and held his hand with my two hands. Nix turned to look at me and smiled but he instantly looked at the Alpha."The mate bond seems quite strong already,” the Alpha chuckled, amused by Nix's reactions when the Alpha approached me. “Relax, Nix. I mean no harm."Nix exhaled a deep sigh with a soft chuckle. "I know that in theory, but in practice, rationality simply does not enter the mind when it comes to the mate bond. I am sure you know that; I have seen you react in such a waspish manner."Mary burst out laughing. "You should have seen Kalil when he first met me, and I have to admit that Nix… you are handling it much better than he did. The mate bond is much more intense for high-ranking wolves, and with your Enforcer rank, which is designed to protect others, the mate bond will hit you quite hard because your protective tendencies are already heightened.” Mary rubbed the Alpha’s back and smiled a

I chuckled as I dashed under a massive rose bush and continued on my way as fast as my four paws could go. Nix had to go around because of his massive wolf size. I thought it was quite amusing to choose the path that required him to take the most detours. At the very least, he was getting more exercise than if he was just running alongside me.Our leisurely run had devolved into a game of catch-me-if-you-can, and despite the fact that I hadn't stopped to hiding underneath the bushes, Nix hadn't been able to get close to me for nearly five minutes. Given that I had never been in this part of the forest before, it was a pretty impressive feat for me.But the situation was starting to irritate Nix; he could see me now but couldn't reach me. The mate bond pushed him to move faster and work harder to get to me.I used my senses to ensure that no other pack member was in our path. I didn't want anyone to come between Nix and me when the distance between us was already

After Nix and I had our morning run, we went to the dining hall to have our first meal. People who lived in their own homes frequently made and ate breakfast at home, so those who lived in the pack house or had been out patrolling were the only ones looking for breakfast. The dining hall was occupied with large tables and chairs, it was spacious, spacious enough to accommodate almost all of the pack members in this pack house. Breakfast and lunch were more of a self-serve situation. We were too late to help with the cooking, so we grabbed a plate and filled it before heading over to a table. Nix helped me with selecting the food, well, mostly he would just put anything on my plate as long as I get full. Is he planning on making me obese? Or do I look really thin?Nix and I would smile as we passed by other pack members, Nix would wrap one of his arms around my waist if a male is close to us. We took an empty table and began to savor everything on our plate. While I was eating

Tiffany held up a revealing black object for me to inspect, I can feel her excitement intensifying each time she found an item she deemed to look good on me. In disbelief, I looked at her and winced as I pick up the items she chose. "How on earth do you keep finding those things in stores that are supposed to be family-friendly?""This is exactly why they're called family stores," she said, smiling. "These lovely little objects help people increase the size of their family."My jaw dropped and I let out a surprised laugh. "I will never be able to look at half of these stores the same way again," I said, shaking my head."Oh, if you liked this type of clothing, I know several stores with a special display in the back," Tiffany replied.I shuddered lightly; I was beginning to think her mind went deeper into the gutter than mine. And she still hadn't found her mate and yet she acts like she has a mate, exposing her expertise in this type of habit. "Well, I f
Chase Chapter 21 | Family
Once we were done arranging Tiffany’s new clothes inside her huge closet, we decided to head out and shift into our wolf form. Tiffany led me out of the pack house and down some seldom-used forest paths. As we made our way to her promised destination where no one could interrupt us, I felt her slender frame move with excitement and her face glowing. I followed her with interest, waiting for her to tell me where we were going.She'd finally told me where we are right now and then asked if I had any suggestions for making us less visible. I can sense that she is worried that if I shift into my runt wolf form, someone might attack me and she won’t be able to protect me enough. Tiffany seems to be a good fighter; every pack member is at least trained to fight during their pup days. However, some stopped and relied on the basic skills taught in school. Tiffany seems to be that kind of wolf; she knows how to fight but is not that strong enough to fight or kill any wild
