Sixteen

Amoux’s POV

It was after a few minutes that Brie finally answered me.

“Our Beta mate was put to bed some minutes ago, we never expected that her pup would come today. You probably saw her when you arrived too, she was wearing a green gown and was heavily pregnant.” Brie answered.

I searched my memory for anybody that fitted that description but it came back with nothing.

I don’t think I have seen any pregnant ladies since I arrived though. Even if I had as she claimed, I wouldn't have remembered because I was so exhausted as at that time and the only thing in my head was how to freshen up and eat.

I wasn't even sure I'd attend the festival until Carla came to my room.

If not I might not even have stepped out of the room.

“Well there’s nothing magical about a healer delivering, yeah?” I asked, trying to get why she said if it wasn’t because of Eira…

“At first, we didn’t know that she was a healer. It was minutes after you guys went inside that her water broke, and our Pack healer was attending to her but she said it’s a difficult delivery, that the pup is not in the right position…”

Immediately I heard Brie’s last statement, my head snapped up, and I looked at her curiously.

“Not in the right position?” I asked with a frown.

I've never heard that before.

What could it mean?

“Yeah, our Pack healer said instead of her to feel the pup's head, she was feeling his feet instead and there was nothing she could do about it until Eira came. She was the one that later delivers the pup, ” Brie concluded.

“How did she do it?” I asked, shocked with my eyes open.

I've never heard of a pup not being in the right position and not someone delivering a pup who was in the wrong position.

It was all bizarre and exciting to me.

No wonder Brie said if it wasn't because of her.

“I don't know how she did it but she delivered the pup safely. She's done now, I think she will join us soon, ” Brie replied and said to me that she had to leave.

I nodded and glanced around for any sign of Carla until I saw her sitting among some other young wolves singing and dancing.

I thought she's anti-social? I asked myself when I saw her relating so well with the wolves.

A tinge of jealousy sparked through my heart when I saw a young male wolf dancing with her and touching her and Carla was dancing along too.

Didn't she see that horny little pup has his hands all over her?

I frowned as I moved closer to them in spite.

But I couldn't get closer because I saw that she was actually enjoying herself….

There's nothing bad in what the young wolf is doing since it was mutual. I told myself repeatedly as I tried to refrain the jealousy in me from bursting out.

“Grand Beta!”

I heard someone call my name as I decided to move closer to Carla and the young wolf.

I halted my step and turned around to see that it was Alpha Ryan.

“Alpha Ryan, ” I said in respect.

“Grand Beta, you didn't tell me that Eira is a healer!” Ryan exclaimed excitedly.

Well, am I supposed to go everywhere saying that she's a healer? I frowned as I thought but I don't think Alpha Ryan noticed as he still kept on rambling about how Eira saved his Beta’s new pup and so on…

I was instantly bored when I started hearing the news all over again.

Yeah, It was exciting when Brie was announcing it to me earlier, but now it's really boring because I'm listening to it the second time when all I wanted to do was to go to the young wolf that was touching Carla in all the wrong places and punch him hard.

“Are you listening?” Alpha Ryan snapped me out of my thoughts.

“Yeah, ” I replied absentmindedly.

“So you arrived for Eira to stay, right?” Alpha Ryan asked again but this time my brain jolted open.

Eira to stay? Where? Is he fucking kidding me?

“What did you mean by that?” I asked with a frown and in a cold voice in which I was sure that Alpha Ryan should guess that what he just asked was an unreasonable demand.

But obviously he didn't as he answered my question. “Eira would be a wonderful addition to my Pack, and I would be very happy if you allow her to stay behind,”

Allow her to stay behind? Is that supposed to be a joke?

I came all the way from Deep Water to the Red Moon Pack for Eira and I should allow her to stay in his Pack just because he asked?

“Have you asked her? What was her reply?” I asked Alpha Ryan as I threw a gaze past him.

“Yeah I've asked her and she said that she can't because she had to go to the Deep Water- ” He answered slowly.

“Since she already said she can't stay, why are you asking me to allow her to stay, ” I interrupted with a big frown on my face. Fortunately Alpha Ryan got the message now as he laughed awkwardly and told me not to worry about it and quickly left.

I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw his retreating back.

If he hadn't seen or understood the obvious sighs I was giving him., it would have been worse than this.

Moreover, Alpha Ryan's Pack is one of the Packs that send tributes yearly to Deep Water so I can't be rough with him.

It was also good that Eira also rejected his offer. If not, I would have needed to do lots of convincing, which wasn't my favorite thing to do in this world.

I looked up as I was thinking and saw that Eira was already in the crowd.

Maybe she's done with the new mother, I wanted to go to her and say hi when I saw Carla leave the venue hastily in anger.

What the hell is wrong? I asked myself as I walked closer to the young wolf and his group of friends.

“What happened? Why did she run out like that, ” I asked the wolf who was dancing with Carla earlier.

“What could have possibly happened? I asked her if she was down for a night and she went all mad at me. I wasn't the one that asked her to start rubbing all her goodies on me, ” The young wolf announced with a smirk, I could smell the stench of alcohol all over his body as all his friends laughed along with him as if they were having the best moment of their life.

“We didn't even force her to take drinks with us, she just started drinking and acting crazy, ” another young wolf said.

I looked at them in anger and folded my fist to control my anger because I knew that if I hit him, he might not be alive to tell the story.

I turned around and quickly left for the house that we were given to stay because that was where Carla ran to.

This is the second time that someone was provoking the hell out of me in this Pack, if it happens again before we leave tomorrow I wouldn't mind helping Alpha Ryan to discipline one or two of his Pack members.

When I got to the house, I immediately went over to Carla’s door and knocked.

“Who’s there?” Carla replied.

I was shocked by the tone of her voice, it was laced with whimpers.

“Carla opened the door, it's me- Amoux, ” I replied immediately.

“No, go away!”

“Caroline, I said open this damn door else I would break it. Your choice..” I replied in a straightforward voice as I knocked again.

But this time, I heard her slowly unbolting the door.

I heaved a sigh that I was aware I was holding immediately the door was ajar.

“Carla,” I called out slowly but I could smell that she was drunk.

“Carla,”

“Hey, hold on, ” I asserted instantly as I tried to hold her from stumbling.

Why did she get so drunk when she knew that her alcohol resistance was this low?

She's practically throwing all her weight on me.

“Amoux, ”

I heard Carla say my name in a slurred speech.

God help me, it was so damn sexy.

“Yes, Carla?” I replied to her but my voice wasn't any better because I was also drunk in lust.

The dim, fluorescent Moonlight was also doing justice to her creamy body as I could see how rich and radiant it was.

I quickly averted my gaze and concentrated on helping her get on the bed but because of her sloppy movement, we both slumped down on the bed.

“Is it true that Eira is better than me in everything?” Carla said again in the same slurred speech as she raised her gorgeous eyes and looked up at me.

Currently, we were both on the bed and my hands were around her waist.

I didn't even try to get up because that was the closest I'd ever gotten to her and there was something about tonight that was pushing me to her like a magnetic kind of thing.

I don't even know how to describe it.

“No, why would you even think that?” I answered back immediately. “Where did you hear that?”

I swore I'm gonna injure someone tonight.

Carla held on to my arm as she tried to stand up from the bed and said, “Did you think that too?”

“Carla, I just said no, you guys are completely different. She's not better than you.” I replied as I helped to sit on the edge of the bed.

She must have heard these stupid statements from those drunk wolves from earlier. I suddenly wished I'd kicked their asses a bit before coming inside the house. At least, I won't feel as frustrated as I was feeling right now.

“Then why…” Carla started talking again but suddenly stopped as if she noticed that she was talking too much.

“Then why what?” I prompted as I waited for her to continue talking but she didn't until after a few minutes.

“Why is it that those guys said I can never be like her?” Carla confessed as a tear dropped from her beautiful brown eyes.

I instantly felt my heart clenched in pain.

“You don’t have to be like her, you are amazing this way, ” I explained to the woman that already got my heart hooked with my small face and brown eyes.

“I know but-”

“But what?” I interrupted because I was already tired of her underestimating herself.

She was beautiful and incomparable but she didn't even see that herself.

“Do you think the Alpha King will like me?” Carla asked slowly as she blinked her eyes at me again.

I didn't get her words until a few seconds later.

Alpha King? As in Reagan? I felt my head snap immediately.

Does she like Reagan?

Oh my God?! The girl I've been attracted to since like a week ago likes my best friend, who is also my Alpha!

Shit!

“Reagan doesn't like virgins, ” I blurted out before I could stop myself.

This girl is right here staring at me with those soulful brown eyes, and her gorgeous breasts in my face, but she's still asking me if my best friend would like her?!

I can't help but feel upset and hurt.

“Then can you disvirgin me?”

“What!”
