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
~ Victoria/Anna ~“We should wait until Michael leaves,” he said.“What if he stays there until morning? Let’s get out of here. I can’t wait to see your house.”“Wrong!”“What do you mean? Don’t you want to show your house to me?”“It’s our house.” Constantine emphasized the word ‘our’. “It’s no longer only my house.” He kissed the tip of my nose. “I can’t wait to fill our house with our pups.”I blushed and rewarded him with a kiss on his lips. “How many pups do you want?”“At least two, a boy and a girl.”“Then we should hurry. Ignore Michael. Let’s pretend we don’t know he spies on us.” He held my waist with an arm. “Don’t search for him.”“Though I don’t mind if I must kick the jerk again.” I grinned as I caressed Constantine’s jaw.“You kicked him? What did he do to you?” He whispered in my ear.“He cornered me and wanted to kiss my lips.”“He wants his death. So I will beat him until he begs me to kill him.”I shook my head. “Don’t do that. I have killed him in the past. He is h
Finally, we arrived at Constantine’s house. It was a middle-size home with a wood fence and broken white wall. I smiled at him as I poked his waist. “What?” He asked while smiling back at me.“Your taste in choosing the colors is amazing. I feel I have been at home already.”Constantine circled his arms around my waist and whispered, “I’m glad you feel that way. Maybe instinctively, I know I’ll bring my mate here one day.”He showed me to a small garden first. It has some big trees, a swing, and various lovely flowers. It surprised me as I thought I would find primarily red roses as it was common for people to grow red roses in their garden. Instead, they are all white roses, lilies, orchids, daisies, and snowdrops. I blinked as it was indeed unexpected. When I lifted my head to stare at him, Constantine gazed at me too. “What?”“It’s unexpected as you have all white flowers here. Why?”“I have a frustrating dream about a mysterious woman wearing a white dress and the white petal fl
~ Constantine/Cameron ~ Home … every time I was with Victoria, I felt at home. I kissed her lips and exhaled her scent. I think I could die happy here and now. What else does a man need? Nothing else mattered when a beautiful, strong, loyal, courageous, and intelligent woman was beside him. But before I could do anything else, my father suddenly called me. ‘Cameron, come to my working room.’ ‘Yes, Father. I’ll be there in a half hour from now.’ Victoria tickled my ears, and I laughed. My father immediately snapped, ‘Now, Cameron. We need to discuss an urgent matter.’ ‘What is it, Father? About Lisa? We have discussed this, and Nate will be my replacement, right?’ ‘It’s not that. Come to my room quickly.’ I kissed Victoria’s forehead. “My father called me. It’s urgent. I must postpone the fun. But rest assured, I will return as quickly as possible.” “Okay, I understand. Now, go! I will warm your bed and wait for you to come home. But if you are late, I don’t promise I’ll still
