Masuk~Vixen~I rested my cheek against the cool glass of the car window, watching the landscape roll by.Vaelor would be pissed if he found out I flopped his order and decided to take the long route by travelling through the road.But this was something I had to do.My duties as Luna begin immediately when I enter Blackthorn.A familiar signpost came into view.Blackthorn PackAs we were cleared from the border, I started surveying the territory as the car drove by.I wasn't just looking at buildings and people.I was evaluating morale, infrastructure, loyalty and leadership of the pack within the period I was absent.For me this would be like taking on another project. Like a new CEO inspecting a company, trying to understand their strengths and weaknesses, and how to improve the system.The car suddenly slowed down as we were flagged down by guards in a checking point.“What's happening?” I asked the driver.“Oh ma'am you didn't hear?” The driver said as he parked his car away from the h
~Vaelor~The familiar gates of the mansion came into view.The guards at the gate immediately opened it, bowing as they spotted me in the car.The car stopped at the step leading to the mansion, several Elders already standing, waiting for my return.Perfect.They were the necessary people I needed to be present.A guard hurriedly opened the car, my eyes immediately coming in contact with Lyra's.She was dressed in a yellow floral dress, her blonde curled hair cascading down her back.She had a pouty face, trying to portray a childlike innocent look.I averted my gaze from her, restricting myself from making rash decisions.Stepping out of the car, the Elders and Lyra bowed.Elder Rhaeger, with a smile, stepped forward.“Alpha, you have finally returned. We thought you've finally decided to rule Shadowcrest,” he joked, causing snickering between a few Elders.He has gotten bolder.“I didn't need to fret.” I maintained my composure. “I left the pack in your capable hands.”He lifted hi
~Vaelor~The car ride from the mountain was silent.Not because we ran out of things to talk about.But because Vie was asleep.She was exhausted from the banquet and was awake almost all night.Plus she was pregnant.When she told me about our pup, I was deep in thoughts, contemplating if I should feign ignorance and act surprised, or tell her the truth.We've finally started on a clean slate.She finally trusts me.I couldn't start our new chapter with lies.She was worth more than that.I had to tell her the truth.I glanced at her sleepy frame from the rearview mirror as she laid at the back seat.She looked so peaceful.I made the right decision.As I drove into the cottage I've been using during my stay in Shadowcrest, I spotted West and other elite guards waiting for me.One shouldn't trust Ravan's definition of ‘cottage’, because this was clearly a gated two story building.I parked the car, stepping out and carrying Vie into my arms.As an elite guard rushed to take her from
~Vixen~It was anticipated.It wasn't a surprise.I wanted it.He saw it in my eyes, not needing any further approval.He brushed his thumb over my cheek, his gaze lingering on me as though committing every detail to memory.His darkened eyes went to my lips, and slowly, he leaned in, one hand resting on my head and the other wrapped around my waist.Our lips met with a desperate tenderness, months of longing and unspoken feelings poured into a single moment.I clutched the front of his shirt, rising to my toes as he drew me even more closer, as though he was confirming he wasn't in a dream, as though afraid I'd disappear if he let go.I pressed my lips harder, assuring him I was here. I was his. I would forever be by his side.The world seemed to fade into quiet, the only thing that mattered was that I couldn't get enough of him.I wanted to be here forever, in his arms, under the dark night sky, just us with no misunderstanding.Suddenly he pulled away, leaving me whimpering for mor
~Vaelor~We.That word stuck with me like glue, the others falling on deaf ears.She was thinking of us together.“Vaelor, where do we go now?” She repeated, eyes on me.I didn't answer her question, the entire ride was filled with suspense.From my peripheral vision I could see her hesitating to draw my attention again, her hand fiddling with her dress.My hand remained on her lap, feigning ignorance at the tense air and unanswered questions.I drove out of Pure Moon Pack, entering Shadowcrest's border.Now in an environment I was more familiar with, I took a different route, heading towards a secluded mountain.Vie, unfamiliar with the serenity, stared out of the window, unbothered as the wind dishelved her hair.Moonlight and streetlamps took turns caressing her features, and I found myself thinking that perhaps love was this simple.Perhaps love meant being content to sit in silence and admire the person who made even ordinary moments feel beautiful.Tonight made me realize I coul
~Vixen~Our path away from Pure Moon was different from that of the others.Vaelor ordered the other cars to head to Shadowcrest, taking over from our initial driver.It was just the both of us in his SUV.I might not have mentioned it, but he knew.He knew I needed some time alone to assimilate the truth he revealed minutes ago.I needed to think, restrategize and plan out my next move.This was an abrupt shift that could alter my future plans.Yet I couldn't help but lean against the car window, numbly watching the scenery drift by as fields, houses, and distant hills blurred together.Mountains stood like silent sentinels in the distance while rows of trees raced backward, their leaves dancing in the wind as silver streaks of the moon washed over them.The road stretched endlessly as Vaelor kept driving, indulging my silence, choosing to be my designated driver and take a longer route.The beautiful passing scenery, the quiet night, Vaelor's scent.These should've been enough to ca
