The Elders left the Great Assembly room. Finally, I could get out and enjoy the time with Victoria again. But when I stood, my father shook his head.
“Father?”
“Sit down. I want to talk with you.”
I sat again, waiting for what he would say.
“Why haven’t you told me anything about Anna?”
“I don’t want to give any problems to her.”
“Do you think I would hurt her?”
I said nothing, as I couldn’t predict what my father would do. If I said yes, it might offend him. If I said no, I needed to give him any good reasons I didn’t tell her about Victoria.
“Shut up!” Jack punched my arm lightly. His face was annoyed, but then he chuckled. “She is something. What do you think about her?”“Melanie?”“No, the princess of nowhere. Of course, Melanie.”I laughed at his sarcastic remark. “That’s why Melanie is my woman’s best friend.”“Your woman.” Jack touched his chin. “The annoying Omega? What is her name?” He patted his chin. “Ah, Anna! Anna Warren.”“Why do you say Anna is annoying? She is sweet, warm, and lovable. So, I can say she’s the opposite of annoying.”“Are we talking to the same person?&r
I visited Nate’s house, and no one opened the door when I knocked on the door. So, I opened the mind link. ‘Nate, where are you?’ ‘Hey, Cam, I’m at the food storage.’ ‘What are you doing there?’ I frowned, as the food storage was not Nate’s territory. ‘I walked around there to see the Lambdas and the Kappas worked. But, unfortunately, they don’t have enough people to help.’ Lambda is the hunter, while Kappa is Lambda’s leader. I let out a sigh. ‘We can distribute the Nus and the Xis to help there.’ Nu is the sentry of the pack whose role is to find natural resources for the pack. At the same time, Xi is a subordinate of Nu. ‘They are out to find herbs and vegetables.’ ‘I’ll be right there.’ I closed the mind link and headed toward the food storage. What Nate said was true. We lacked people to help here. As I walked fast, Nate turned his body and grinned. “Hey, Cam, great to see you.” “I need to talk to you, but let’s finish things here first.” The Kappas organized the Lamb
“Anna Warren? She is an Omega in our pack.” I was quiet for a while, considering if I should share about my past life. “I know her, but I have never seen you near her.” Nate frowned for a few seconds. “Wait a minute, yes, I have seen you observing her. You like her, don’t you?” I didn’t know what I should say since there was an unexplainable tug in my heart whenever I saw Anna/Victoria, even before I knew our past lives. She was pretty, and her body was curvy, fit for me, but there was something else. Maybe it was our soul bond from the past life. “Well?” Nate asked since I didn’t reply. “She is pretty, and no werewolves will deny how sexy she is. But I have a bond with her, which is hard to explain.” “Mate-bond?” I wanted to deny it since I didn’t know for sure about that, but considering we had marked each other in the past life, I finally nodded. “Yes.” “Then why didn’t you approach her? We all were shocked when she stood and asked to stop the marking ceremony.” Nate shook
I prepared the Great Assembly room and contacted the Elders, Nate, Jack, and my father. Then I entered the room with Victoria. All eyes glanced at Victoria as it was rare to see an Omega included in an important event like this. My father called Nate and me, then asked the rest to create a circle surrounding us. “It’s a fortunate event that Nathanael Thorn joined our pack twenty years ago. Since then, he has proved himself a great man and Cameron’s best friend.” Nate kneeled before my father. “It’s an honor for me to be your pack member, Alpha.” “Please arise, Nate.” “Thank you, Alpha.” Then my father looked around. His stare stopped at Jack. “Jack, my son, please know that our family will have another member today.” Jack gaped for a second. He glanced between Victoria and me; his forehead was creased. But he said nothing and waited for my father to continue. “With all who will witness it today as Cameron, my son, requested, I’ll lead the ceremony to have Nathanael as my son.
~ Victoria/Anna ~I didn’t expect a miracle to happen overnight, yet it hurt to hear such a harsh rejection from Constantine’s father. I didn’t cower under the Alpha’s scrutiny with his sharp, cold eyes. Constantine has his father’s eyes too. Instead of trembling, I nodded and bowed my head a little. “I understand, Alpha Horace. I know you won’t believe nor value my love for Cameron, but I will prove to you I deserve to be with him.”Alpha Horace raised his chin. “Oh? How?” He sneered and shook his head. “You’re only bluffing. The easiest way to prove it is to leave him. It’s the best for everyone.”“I can’t do it, Alpha.”“Why? Because you are pregnant with his pup?”I was startled to hear that. Then, instinctively, I placed my hand on my stomach. “I ….”Alpha Horace sighed, then he said, “Follow me.” He glanced at Constantine. “You too.”Both of us followed Alpha Horace, leaving the Great Assembly and entering his house. It is a grand house with a black fence, white wall, and gray
Here is the list of werewolf ranks I use in this story and maybe in the upcoming stories too:1. Alpha (the pack leader). Usually, a pack has only one or two Alpha at maximum. If there are two Alpha, they are the leader and his mate (Luna). The Alpha is the strongest and most influential in the pack. Alpha makes sure all pack members are safe and fulfilled. 2. Beta (second-in-command). Beta is the vice leader of the pack. When Alpha is not present in the pack, the duty to take care of the pack falls on the Beta. Usually, the Beta is the one who is the most trusted by the Alpha. 3. Gamma (Elder). Gamma is usually the senior of the pack. The pack respects them because of their wisdom and special ability. Retired Alpha usually will serve as Gamma. 4. Delta (the messenger). Delta is the one who sends messages to other packs. Therefore, they have to build good relationships with other packs. Because of this role, the Delta can significantly influence other packs and be a threat to the p
I expected Kenneth, or what was his name now?—Michael, Michael Wolfie—would bang on the door, but nothing so far. I exhaled and threw myself on the bed. It was an exhausting day. Meeting with Constantine’s father was difficult. I knew he wouldn’t allow Constantine and me to be together. But it was a mild reaction. Did I still have a chance?I might be asleep for a few minutes. However, when the door opened. I sat immediately, worrying it might be Michael who barged in. It was dark already. Maybe it was night now. But as my eyes spotted my lover at the door, I smiled. “Hey, handsome.”Constantine grinned, threw himself on the bed, and grabbed my waist. Later, he kissed my lips. “Hey, beautiful. Miss me already?”“Not at all! I was asleep.”“Really?” He frowned. “Maybe you should go back to your room then.”I circled my hands to his neck. “Cranky.” Then I peppered kisses on his jaw and neck. “Rough day?”“Well, yes and no. Do you want to hear the good or bad news first?”“Bad news first
~ Constantine/Cameron ~ I kissed her forehead. Her scent made me crazy. I wanted to devour her badly, but then I stopped. “Constantine?” “You are no longer my mistress. If we did it here, my father wouldn’t believe you had been appointed as my housekeeper.” “So?” Victoria’s lovely eyebrows rose, creating a beautiful arc. I touched them with my fingers. “What?” “Nothing. Your eyebrows are beautiful.” “Only my eyebrows?” I chuckled. “My beautiful lady is longing for a compliment. Why didn’t you say so?” She rewarded me with a light punch on my chest. “If I should say it, it would be quite embarrassing.” I laughed again until she silenced me with her kiss. Her hand roamed everywhere and stopped at the lower part of my stomach. Then it went lower. “Victoria, it’s not a good idea.” “How can we give your father a grandpup if we can’t do it?” She moved away from me and hugged herself. “Victoria, that’s not what I meant. We’ll still do it, but not here.” “Oh?” Again, her pretty
