"How is Clara?" Alpha Daniel asked Sierra, who was playing with her cell phone while eating snacks in the backyard.
Sierra turned her head, "I went to her room earlier and saw that she was still sleeping. I just got back from the pack house too." Alpha Daniel nodded and then placed an invitation on the table next to Sierra. "An invitation from the Silverhide Alliance?" said Sierra, who opened the cream-coloured envelope with a rose-gold floral design. Sierra continued to read and it was an invitation to the councils of all the packs in the Silverhide Alliance. The leader of the Alliance, Alpha King Raymond, wanted to celebrate his daughter's wedding. "You're coming with me again, Sierra. Actually, I was reluctant to go because I was lazy with the Alpha's questions, asking me to have Luna soon. However, it would be rude to refuse the invitation," Daniel grumbled in front of his sister. Sierra nodded thoughtfully and had an idea. "Hmm, how about you go with Clara. It would be fun and let her think you've found your mate," Sierra said enthusiastically. Daniel paused while he considered his sister's suggestion, then looked at Clara's door and smiled. The door to Clara's room suddenly opened, and she was awake. Daniel and Sierra were surprised at the same time. Clara squirmed and yawned and came out of her room. "Hm... Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with me?" Clara asked. She then closed the door to her room and approached Daniel and Sierra. Sierra grinned and replied, "We're just surprised. By the way, Clara, you're going with Alpha Daniel to the Silverhide Alliance event tonight?" "What's the occasion? Why me and not you?" Clara asked with a furrowed brow. Alpha Daniel looked at Sierra with round eyes as if he wanted his sister to answer Clara's question. "I have to work for the Cubs tomorrow, can you cover for me?" Sierra pleaded with cupped hands and a pitiful look on her face. Clara smiled, "Hmm okay. But I've never been to an Alliance event before because the Moonlight Pack hasn't joined an Alliance, so I have no experience and__" Clara continued, holding the hem of her shirt. Sierra nodded and replied, "You don't have to worry about clothes. I'll prepare it for you. Clara nodded again and agreed to Sierra's request. Alpha Daniel was made happy by Clara's ability and the man felt his heart blossom at the thought that he could be alone with Clara again that night. In the evening, Alpha Daniel and Clara prepared to go to the Silverhide Mansion. Alpha Daniel was fascinated by Clara's unusual appearance. She was wearing a shiny red satin sundress and Sierra's diamond necklace. Her hair was down, and she looked very elegant. "Perfect!" said Alpha Daniel. Clara looked embarrassed and smiled at Daniel's words. "Let's go, you'll be late! Enjoy the evening romantically," Sierra said as she winked at Daniel, who responded by putting a slight pinch on Sierra's waist. Clara just laughed at the sibling' behaviour. They finally left and drove for about forty-five minutes. They arrived at the Silverhide Mansion. Clara was amazed at the luxurious building in front of her. This was Clara's first time attending an Alliance event. Several pairs of eyes began to notice the arrival of Alpha Daniel, who was walking hand in with Clara, even though Clara looked a little awkward. It wasn't long before Alpha King Raymond took a microphone and stood beside his daughter with her husband. "Thank you to all of you Alphas and also to the council of each pack that is a member of the Silverhide Alliance. I hope you enjoy this celebration party of my daughter's marriage and pray that they will be faithful to each other until death do us part," Alpha King Raymond explained. Everyone applauded the Silverhide Alliance Alpha King's speech. "He's so handsome and dashing. I just saw him!" Clara whispered to Daniel amidst the glittering party lights. Daniel smiled in response, "Don't I look like him?" the man continued with a chuckle. "I admit... a bit!" replied Clara, holding back her laughter and shaking her head. Then Alpha King Raymond spoke again. "I also have some important news for you tonight. I have just received a new member for the Silverhide Alliance, so I hope you can accept and adapt to Alpha Robin of the Moonlight Pack. The pack is now part of our alliance and let us welcome Alpha Robin with a big round of applause," Alpha King Raymond roared. "What?" said Clara. Clara and Alpha Daniel were in shock. They looked at each other. "We have to get out of here right now, don't let that man know you're here!" Daniel told Clara with a panicked expression. She nodded, but he said again, "You don't have to leave here, you follow this event to the end. Alpha Robin won't recognize you, let me go home," Clara said. "Are you sure?" asked Daniel. Clara nodded again with a convincing look. Daniel agreed and watched Clara's departure from a distance. Clara knew Alpha Robin was coming with Susan, her new chosen mate, and also the Council members. "I have to hurry, because I'm sure someone from the Moonlight Pack will recognize me besides Alpha Robin," Clara muttered. Sure enough, she saw a scout and a guard talking at the mansion's exit. Not knowing why they were there, Clara panicked a little because, of course, these two people would recognize her. She saw the hallway leading to the toilets and hoped there was another way out. Without wasting any time, she quickly turned around and went there. Clara sighed as she managed to avoid the Moonlight Pack members. Then she checked her phone and found a message from Alpha Daniel. Alpha Daniel: [Are you in the car already? Just take the car home. Beta George will pick me up later.] Clara: [Okay, I'm walking safely to the car. I took a little detour to look for another exit because there were scouts and guards from the Moonlight Pack who must have recognized me.] Alpha Daniel: [Alright, be careful! If anything happens, contact me immediately.] Clara: [Okay, take it easy.] After Clara had answered Daniel's message, she rushed to the car park. She was in such a hurry, Clara unknowingly bumped into the car door as it opened. "Aw!" Clara shouted, immediately falling. "Oh my goddes, are you okay, miss?" said a man who got out of the car Clara had hit in a panic. Clara held her forehead, which had been hit by the car door, "Okay, it's okay, it's my fault for rushing!" she replied. "Let me help you up!" the man said, lifting Clara's body. Clara smiled at the man, "Thanks, I have to go!" "Okay, be more careful next time," the man said to Clara, and Clara nodded as she immediately walked to her car, which wasn't far from the man's position. Clara started the car and drove away, although she looked back at the man and smiled again. "You know her, Beta Drake? I just saw her at our Alliance event," the man, an Alpha, asked the Beta accompanying him. "Looks like she's a first-timer to the event, or maybe she's a Luna from the pack who, according to new information will be joining the Silverhide Alliance tonight," Beta Drake replied. The man nodded, but suddenly he clutched his chest as he felt his heart pounding. For some reason, the man kept staring in the direction Clara had gone earlier. "Why do I feel strange when I see this woman, it feels familiar and like there is a strong bond. Who is she?" the man muttered to himself. The man immediately broke out of his reverie and entered the mansion. The party was also lively with various entertainment and dancing. Unfortunately, Alpha Daniel enjoyed the party without Clara. Some of the Alphas from other packs also asked why Clara left and even mocked Daniel, even though they thought it was just a joke. "She hasn't even been introduced to us yet, she just left. Poor you, Alpha Daniel!" an Alpha from another pack taunted Daniel. Daniel just sighed resignedly. He didn't care about the talk because the most important thing was that Clara didn't meet the person who had hurt her again. The man who had passed Clara in the parking lot was about to approach Alpha King Raymond to greet the Alliance leader. Suddenly, someone recognized him and called out to him, "Alpha Edward, is that you?" Alpha Robin exclaimed loudly over the loud music to the man who had met Clara earlier. "Alpha Robin, hello my old friend! It turns out that your pack is the new member that joined," said Alpha Edward, who then hugged Alpha Robin.That afternoon, Michael, about to hold a meeting with investors from California, suddenly had to cancel their meeting at the Blue Sky Packhouse because Joe suddenly felt labor contractions. Michael immediately rushed to his wife without a second thought and called for a healer. He was willing to lose the opportunity and potential investment from those wealthy investors for the sake of his unborn child and his wife, who were far more valuable. A few moments later, the healer arrived and assisted with Joe's delivery. Michael and Dana accompanied Joe into her room while others, including Clara, Daniel, Ella, and Robin, anxiously waited outside. Screams filled the room. Joe gripped Michael's hand tightly, sweat covering her forehead. Dana stood beside her, whispering words of encouragement, while the healer did everything possible to assist in the tense delivery. "Just a little more, Joe! You can do it!" Dana's voice trembled, her eyes full of hope. "When I went through the pain of gi
Time passed quickly, and Joe's pregnancy had grown significantly. Clara was always ready to help whenever Joe needed her.Joe was not only her daughter-in-law but also her beloved niece, a precious replacement for Dana."Michael, remember what I told you. Take care of Joe, including postponing all your work if she asks you to simply accompany her for lunch. Do you understand?" Clara advised Michael over the phone.For the past few days, Joe had complained about Michael being too busy at the pack house, handling countless tasks. Clara could relate, as Alpha Daniel's workload had also increased. That's why she was making sure Michael wouldn't make the same mistake, especially now when Joe needed attention the most in the final stages of her pregnancy.The golden hues of the evening sky stretched over Dark Moon Pack as a soft spring breeze swept through. Clara stood on her balcony, gazing at the distant dense forest. Her thoughts wandered, filled with memories of her sister, Dana, who wa
Behind the happiness before, of course, there was also something painful for Dana a few months ago. She suffered a miscarriage just before her due date. Her dream of having a child with Robin had to be dashed, but their sadness still comforted Joe.Clara finally asked Michael, Joe, Alpha Daniel, Robin, and Dana to gather at the Dark Moon pack meeting hall that day. Followed by the Council. They were all surprised because it was unusual for Clara to gather them. "Honey, I'm sorry if I've been too busy lately. But can you tell me first about our meeting with them tonight?" Clara shook her head as she straightened her makeup in the mirror."No, I want everyone to find out at once. It will be very surprising." Clara said."Does this have anything to do with the other day when you borrowed that ancient book of your family tree, and you didn't even tell me what the problem was?" Daniel asked."Yes, it does. Alpha Daniel, that's the clue. At that time I was in the observation stage, so I
One Year LaterJoe was now pregnant, entering her second month of pregnancy. Along with that happiness, the alliance and the packs under the Silverhide Alliance remained stable and at peace.Meanwhile, in the late afternoon at the Dark Moon Pack, a cool breeze brushed through Clara's hair. The air was crisp, carrying the earthy scent of damp soil after the morning rain.Clara gazed into the distance, her eyes fixed on the forest a few meters from the pack house. Something was troubling her mind."I miss you, Edward, Mom, Dad," Clara whispered in her heart, gripping the locket her parents had left behind.No matter how much she had grown, even now as she reached old age, Clara still missed her family. It was understandable—she had only briefly enjoyed the time she had found her biological family, only to be separated again by Alpha Edward’s death.At Dana's house, the woman sat on a bench, seemingly lost in thought, much like Clara. Though she had more freedom to occupy herself—trainin
The wedding party was smooth and lively until the end. They all enjoyed themselves and felt the atmosphere of happiness at Blue Sky Pack.The night after the wedding, Michael and Joe went on their honeymoon to a beach a few hours away from Blue Sky Pack. It was like a dream for both of them. They both stood on the balcony of their hotel room, gazing out at the vast sea. The gently lapping waves created a soothing rhythm accompanying their new journey as mate, husband, and wife. The moonlight reflecting off the water's surface added to the night's magical atmosphere.Michael took a deep breath and looked at Joe with eyes full of love. "I can't believe we're finally here, when before I thought it would be so difficult to bring our families together," he said hoarsely, almost in disbelief.Joe smiled, his eyes sparkling. "Me too. It feels like everything we've experienced before is just part of a complicated journey, but I always believed we'd find the point."The two looked at each othe
Long story short, they decided to formalize the relationship between Michael and Joe as soon as possible. One week later, the wedding reception was held after Michael successfully marked Joe as dead.Michael and Joe's wedding party took place with great fanfare at the Blue Sky Pack residence, the pack inherited from Alpha Edward, who Michael had long led as his new Alpha.Guests included Alpha King Raymond of the Silverhide Alliance and all the Alphas under the alliance. All the guests looked happy, enjoying a night of joy. Small lights twinkled in the sky, creating a romantic atmosphere around the garden decorated with fresh flowers. Music played softly, and guests danced on the main dance floor. There was joy in every corner, laughter accompanying every conversation, and eyes sparkling with hope.In addition, a full moon adorned the blissful atmosphere, adding sacredness to the two werewolves who the Moon Goddes' fate had united."It turns out that fighting for you is not as difficu
