Thank you for following Alfred and Hanni’s story.
HANNI POVI woke up sore and weak from last night encounter to find his arms roped tightly around me. The air in the room was heavy from all our lovemaking. Every nerve of my skin buzzing with the ghost of his touch. I lay curled up, under the covers by Alfred’s side, my head on his chest, my ear pressed against the steady rhythmic drum of his heart.His arm was a solid weight around me, his fingers tracing possessive patterns on my bare shoulders, I never wanted to move. For this moment to end. This was perfection. This was peace.“Hanni,” He murmured, his voice low. A music to my ears.I tilted my head slightly to look at him. His eyes, usually so sharp and commanding, were soft and filled with warmth that I knew was for me alone. “Hmm?”He shifted and propped himself up on an elbow to look down at me, his gaze intense. “We are done waiting,” he said, with a note of finality in his voice. It was a decree. “I am making you my Luna. Officially. Before the entire pack. No more delays.”
ALFRED POV“Alpha, welcome.” I stood at the door way to my chambers, rooted at the spot, entranced by her beauty. Oh I have missed this lady.“Hello Princess,” I croaked as I moved with slow steady steps to where she stood crouched at the center of the room. “I trust you have been well?”She looked up and smiled shyly, “How was your trip?”“It was productive,” I replied as I positioned my self in her personal space. “Beta Jameson has been apprehended and his cronies all over the lands are all pulling out.” I used a finger to raise her chin up slightly and ask, “I heard about your friend, Josh.”She swallowed and shook her head. “I never expected it to go down like this.”“I know,” I replied softly, “Let just hope he is safe because if my men apprehended him, I will not be able to offer him any mercy.”She looked at me with tear stained huge blue eyes and nodded, without saying a word and without thinking for I was unable to hold myself any longer, I bent over and kissed her.The air
ALFRED POVCrack.The howl of pain that followed was loud enough to send the birds flying off the trees.Then with a final thrust, he aimed a punch at me, but missed and sensing defeat, he slumped on the ground and shifted back to his human form.I stared at him in disgust and wondered if any wolf nowadays do call themselves a warrior, for this was a disappointment.“Alpha.” Marcus called out and hurried over to where I stood, still staring at the defeated shell of a man. “What happened? We heard your howl from miles away and we thought—”“Please don’t say I was in trouble,” I cut in sharply, “that will be an insult.”“Well….” Marcus drawled as his eyes danced around the rogues sprawling in pain. “I knew you weren’t the one in trouble, but we still couldn’t help it.”“And…?” I asked with my brow up. “You ran as fast as you can?”“Yes Alfred, I did.” Marcus replied indignantly.We stared at each other briefly and suddenly, we doubled up in a fit of laughter.“They were no match for you
HANNI POVI stared at them as they turned to look at each other in confusion, then after what looked like a minute, the Beta shook his head slowly and said, “That is a question I have been asking the guards as well.”“It looks like he just vanished,” Simone muttered. “ I hope he is safe.”“Yes, he should be,” The Beta replied and asked, “do you ladies want to know what I think?” Without waiting for a reply, he continued, “I think your friend saw us coming and made the run for it.”I gasped in shock, but before I could reply, a palace guard called out from the entrance…“Beta. Your attention is needed at the east wing.”The Beta stood up and nodded. “Ladies, remember to do what ever you want in the palace. Do not leave the grounds.”As soon as the Beta disappeared, I looked at Simone and asked fearfully, “Do you also think so? That Josh escaped?”“Oh Hanni,” She replied and held my hand tightly in hers. “That will be the preferred option for him, if you ask me. At least he is not dea
ALFRED POV“I just received word Alpha,” Marcus announced as he entered the dining hall, where the Old Alpha and I were seated and in midst of having our lunch. “The girls are fine. Andre organized a raid and captured a lot of Jameson’s men, infact, the raid is still on as we speak. But the girls are unhurt.”“Good.” I nodded in satisfaction. “And the boy?”“He is no where to be found,” Marcus replied and sat beside me “It’s like he just vanished into thin air.”“He will still be at the Pack. He will be in hiding. I want him found, Marcus.”“Yes Alpha.” “Why?” The old Alpha asked suddenly. “Why are you interested in this boy?”I paused for a minute and looked at my plate, deep in thought. Then I replied. “Because he took my hospitality as stupidity and decided to endanger my mate who loved him not as a friend, but as a brother.”“He endangered my mate too” Marcus nodded as he stuffed his mouth with pudding. “He has to pay.”“Ok, I am so sorry about that,” the old Alpha replied, “if t
HANNI POV“Rufus!” Simone shrilled angrily as the rogue grabbed us by the hair and dragged us out of the dingy room.And as soon as it had stopped, it resumed. The fighting. The shouts and cries of pain.But Rufus was leading us away from the tussle, down the corridors, towards the open grounds, to the place we were first captured.Suddenly, a big grey wolf leaped from the back and toppled the rogue, who quickly doubled back to regain his balance and quickly shifted into a black grizzly wolf with white patches on his fur and barred his fangs menacingly at the huge grey wolf.We quickly ran over to the other side of the corridor, away from the beasts as they circle each other, with their claws and fangs out.“That’s the beta.” Simone whispered fearfully as she stared wide eyed at the grey wolf and before I could respond, they leaped at each other and clashed mid air, thereby sending the floorboards under their feet creaking with so much tension.I closed my eyes and turned away from t
