2025-05-02 05:00:36As far as every pack member knew, Alpha Dax had never been so magnanimous in the past. At previous ceremonies, he was never seen until the event commenced.
Today, he was seen everywhere. It was both comforting and unnerving.
In addition, the Alpha heir was also in tow.
Though many whispered that this might have something to do with his growing responsibilities within the pack as he would soon turn twenty-one and there were things he ought to take over from his father, sooner rather than later, it was not usual either.
The heir usually moved about on his own, with their Luna-in-waiting, Risa, accompanying him, but today she was nowhere in sight.
The pack was also aware that their guests were still around.
Normally, they should have left after Christmas, but they were all still around, and the compound was still in lockdown.
They had every reason to be somber, to be uneasy.
As the pack stewed in their doubts and hope for a peacef

Pulse racing, Reyland slowly removed his appendages from her mouth as Marian swallowed the pill whole, her dark eyes on his deeply flushed face and dilated pupils.“Ha!” he breathed as he stared at her.“I swallowed it,” she whispered, “I need another one. I’m to chew, right?” she asked innocently, her voice as husky as if she had cotton in her throat.Reyland stared wide-eyed at her, slack-jawed.“You…you can’t…you shouldn’t…Marian,” he stammered, at a loss for words, the heat rising at the base of his neck, and at the base below his belt buckle.The she-wolf instantly got whiff of a scent that made her sit up.Reyland’s face got redder, and Marian’s body couldn’t take the sight.He made to stand and she moved, breaking parts of the bandages that still graced her body.She straddled Reyland and kissed him without restraint.

It was that time of the year again. The time of the year Marian hated the most – Christmas.Away from her pack for almost a year after her self-imposed exile, she had returned to fulfill her duties as the only surviving child and sibling of her late mother and brother.Goddess, how I hate this place, she mused, her lips tightening as she strode toward the pack hall.Her hips swayed as she walked purposefully toward the hall in her gold dress and strappy gold heels, all five feet eleven inches of her, as a light breeze pulled on her waist-length dark brown hair and silk gown.Her jaw clenched as she neared her destination, and she fought to keep her hands unclenched as she approached; her green eyes were narrowed and focused ahead as she moved with a steady gait.Marian had the lean, athletic build of a warrior she-wolf, and she moved like the alpha wolf that she was, with purpose and a commanding presence that demanded others move out of the way.Her back and head were straight and upr

Everyone was dressed in their finest wear, and Marian was not done up any less.Her outfit was a gold gown her father had prepared for her.A dress that was both alluring and an official statement.It highlighted her curves and her toned frame. Her arms were bare and her thighs peeked out of the high slit with every step she took, showing the firm muscles of her long legs. Her long hair did not hide the muscles of her shoulders and back, which shifted with every swing of her arms.Her breasts and hips were in full attendance, and nobody could second-guess whether or not her assets had anything to do with the rejection – they, clearly, had not.The display of her body, the uprightness of her poise, was a statement that she would not be cowed.A clear message that she was not ashamed or afraid to be seen.Marian knew in her heart that if she had had her way, she would have worn black or red, something ‘traditional’, but the fact that her father, the one she had left behind, left alone in

The music was blaring, and the loud laughter was jarring, but for Marian, the room might as well have been silent.There, on a low stage set toward the end of the hall, a raised platform just two feet off the ground, and twenty feet wide, were seated Alpha Dax, his two mates, and her father, former Alpha, Corien.A dark-haired, green-eyed man in his early forties with chiseled features and a neatly groomed moustache-beard. A handsome man by no mean measure.A rush of warmth filled her chest and her stomach.Why have I been avoiding him? She mused, angry at herself and yet happy as she laid her eyes on him, her only living relative, a man she had fought for, bled for, and nearly died beside, four years ago.She caught her father’s eye, and his green eyes lit up. He smiled lightly at her just as Dax leaned in to whisper something in his ear.Marian turned away from the sight.Dad...she mused to herself, and right at that moment, a gong went off.It was five minutes to midnight; the main

Marian had intended to kiss Reyland’s forehead or cheek, but with all the attention and unnecessary silent commotion, she was moved to do something more worthy of their eyes and whispers.Her lips met his, and he gasped.She licked the inside base of his parted lips, and his hand tightened on her arm.She nearly winced.She opened her eyes, surprised by the force he had used, and was stunned by the wide grey eyes staring back at her.Grey with yellow flecks.Were his eyes ever such a color? She pondered, staring back into his eyes.She had never really related with Reyland; she couldn’t even say that she knew him.When she was growing up, he was an unknown son of her father’s friend, almost a secret child. Rarely seen anywhere, and only for short periods of time.It was only when his father had risen to Alpha that people started to see him more often.The pack was familiar with Alpha Dax’s other two sons, and they knew his adopted son extremely well.Dorien had been popular since he wa

“Daaad! It’s not like that!” Marian pressed, stomping her foot like a child as she held her father’s hands in both of hers.Corien smiled at his only surviving child.“After you left, I tried to talk to you many times. But you cut me off eight months ago. You cut me off, Marian…Do you still hate me?” he asked quietly, almost apprehensively.“No, Dad, I never did...” she replied gently.“But you went away –” he pressed.“I went away because Dorien rejected me,” she pushed back, not meeting her father’s eyes.“We just lost a battle, Minnie –” he stated softly, searching her face.“But I knew him before that! I knew him for YEARS before that! I thought we were–” she threw back at her father, her words running out of her mouth.“We just lost. His father –” Alpha Corien continued, unperturbed, remaining calm and steady before the force that was his daughter.“ADOPTED father!” she spat, the bile rising in her stomach.By the goddess, how I hate that man! She screamed in her mind, and Dinka s

Dax called out, behind his wolf’s eyes, “Submit Marian! Submit!” He commanded her, “Think, Minnie. You are not the only one who will die here!” Dax continued forcefully, speaking through his wolf.And that was it, at that warning, at that reminder, that was the exact point she and her father had lost.She gazed at her father, his claw remained where they were as they stared at each other. The mind link remained broken, her father would not let her in, but his eyes were easy to read – if she were killed at that moment, he was ready to die as well.He was ready to die.And that was when the rift between them formed. The moment her father left the choice of whether they both live or die in her hands.Her eyes filled as she stared at her father’s unmoving face. If she made the wrong move, she would be lost, and her father would be collateral damage.If she died, if THEY died, who would avenge her mother and brother?“Alpha...” she pleaded, addressing her father, but only a moan escaped he

Corien grunted as Dax’s grip tightened, his green eyes unblinking as he lazily watched the current pack Alpha struggle with himself.Dax shoved Corien back on the chair he had been sitting on, and Corien fell back lazily, adjusting his collar and sliding his gaze back to the file that was still in his hands.Dax stood back, glaring at Corien and bringing his breathing under control.There was a sharp knock on the door.“What?!” Both Dax and Bentax snarled at the intrusion, and Dorien cracked the door open.“May I approach, Alpha?” Dorien asked formally from the partly opened door.Dax’s shoulders relaxed, and Bentax retreated. “Of course, son, come in,” he responded calmly.Dorien entered, gazing between his current Alpha and his former Alpha. “She has crossed the border,” he said carefully. All three men knew whom he was referring to.“Remember to stay alert. She is dangerous,” Dax commented distractedly as he gazed out the sa

“What are we gonna talk about?” Marian asked haltingly as she eyed the now serious Reyland, while her mind fought to stay focused on their conversation and not his overwhelming cuteness.Reyland glanced outside, through the window. He rose and walked over to the thick curtains. Letting them loose slowly, he responded with his back to her.“I wanted to talk about you…and me…But, I think it’s late now,” he replied casually.Curtains down, he turned to face Marian in the now darkened room. The lamp in the corner of her room was still on, casting deep shadows around.Reyland proceeded forward, toward the door, his eyes on hers.“You, princess, have had an incredibly long day,” he continued, clicking on the lights and brightening the room in a clear white light.Neither wolf blinked as the lights came on.Reyland smiled gently.“I think you should sleep. We can talk in the morning. It could be our own little ceremony,” he said in his warm voice.“There are guards outside,” he continued smo

The Marian he had dumped had not been the vibrant she-wolf he had fallen for. She had not been the lively, bold, outspoken girl he had taken into his heart, and into his bed.After the battle, she had lost her shine, her light. She became dull in her manner, in her speech. They had had to sneak around to meet.He had even let other she-wolves touch him before going to see her, on purpose. And she never said anything, never called him out.He continued making promises to her even as he purposefully kept away, and she had not challenged him in any way.His real, original Marian would never have let anything like that slide.She had changed, and he had lost interest.==========But, upon her return, right from their first exchange, he had finally seen the girl he had known for almost ten years, and his pulse had quickened.His heart had beat like it used to when they had first kicked things off.His woman.An alpha she-wolf and warrior of no mean ability.Someone who was his before anyon

Dorien, Alpha heir to Lightmoon pack, felt a tension in his head and his chest that he had not felt in years.A pressure and a pang that made him feel suffocated.It was a tension he had felt almost daily since he first came to Lightmoon pack. A tension that hardly went away unless his mind was busy with something hard, painful, or terrifying, like training, raiding, or fighting for his life.As he felt those aches now, in real time as he stood in his father’s empty office, his breathing grew rapid and unsteady.In seconds, he was breathing through gritted teeth as his eyes darted about, searching for and seeing nothing.At the corner of his mind, he heard his adoptive father’s, Alpha Dax’s, voice warn him about controlling his emotions, but after what he had seen in the office a few hours ago, he didn’t need Alpha Dax talking to him about control.He shook his head, driving Dax’s voice away.He paced the

Years ago, the Lightmoon pack had hidden Corien’s gift of dreams.His gift had been a secret known to only a few, all of whom were sworn to secrecy – not just a promise, but a blood bond sealed through spells had been made.This had been done to protect not only Corien but also the pack, as they gained great advantages in attacks and advances from their rivals and enemies through his premonitions.In public, within the pack, no one ever spoke loudly about his strength, his healing, or his proficiency in battles.Whatever their thoughts may have been, whatever fantasies anyone dreamed up, at most, Corien was referred to as ‘special’, or ‘different’, or ‘unique’, when shifters praised him, when they were in their cups, or when they gossiped, nothing more.Then the war happened, and he became ‘token’, ‘prize’, and ‘fallen’.After half a year to two years, for th

Any concerns or requests could be brought to the Elders; however, they would never actively involve themselves in resolving any issues.Their presence was intimidating and could be hard to bear.Many meetings were not done face-to-face, but rather, through intermediaries – younger, but still elderly, shifters who lived with the Elders and presented cases to them for their input.Their rule was simple – they did not interfere in pack politics or battles. They had all had enough of these during their individual reigns and had no taste for such things in their old age.All of them had been around during the time of the previous Alpha, the one before Corien, the one who loved wars, battles, and blood, the one who used his people as objects and pawns for his schemes and conquests.And they had done nothing.They had been there when Corien had taken over from that Alpha, by force of arms, and they had done nothing.

Corien was in Dax’s office. He had been with him for the past hour, letting the Alpha seethe and rage.Dorien and the Luna had been present as well, but they had left earlier, leaving only the two brothers, the two enemies, together.Dax sat in his chair, his back to Corien, staring out the large window behind his desk.“Once the Alpha King hears of this from Anna, he will come for her,” Dax droned. Finally calm after his last outbursts with his family.“Not if we claim her,” Corien replied calmly.Dax did not respond.Corien continued.“We don’t have to do so immediately. We can plan for it, as we do for everything,” he stated firmly as he approached the large desk and stopped at the edge, adjacent to Dax’s wide shoulders.“If you put everything aside, you will know that what Dorien has suggested is the best solution,” he continued carefully.Silence.

“If he banishes me…” Marian whispered hoarsely, her voice catching. She shifted her eyes to Gravan, “Will you and Dad come with me?” she whispered, her eyes filling.“Just us? No one else?” Gravan replied with a soft smile, his bright eyes shining in his handsome face.Marian shifted her head against her pillow as she gazed up at her uncle.“I won’t have any hope there, if I’m banished,” she croaked.Gravan shook his head gently, stroking her forehead, the smile still on his face.“First of all, princess, we don’t dwell on ‘what-ifs’, hmmm? What’s done is done. All that matters is where we are now, and what we can do about it,” he stated matter-of-factly.“Your father will not let anything happen to you. Rest assured, nothing as drastic as banishment will happen,” he droned.“But, what if he – Alpha Dax &ndash
