LOGINWhile thinking about her options, Marcy steeled her resolve."Accept the rejection."George's expression frosted. "Do you think it will be that easy to get rid of me?""This… us… is not possible.", Marcy tried to reason with him. "My father won't allow it. Both of us will be punished.""How noble of you to care about my wellbeing.", George drawled. "Trust me, I don't need your concern. Besides, aren't you just thinking about not ruining your chances of becoming the Luna of the Dark Howlers pack? Instead of daydreaming about Alpha Drake, you should worry about the Moon Goddess punishing you for rejecting the mate bond. How can you think about another man when your mate is right in front of you, alive and kicking? Your wolf is probably getting weaker. Can you even shift?"Marcy pressed her lips into a line. He was right. Her wolf was getting weaker, and Marcy was unable to shift."What about you? Your wolf should be weak also."George cocked an eyebrow at Marcy. "My skills extend beyond
Marcy couldn't snap out of her daze that was muddled by the excitement of her wolf. Marcy didn't feel her wolf in some time, yet now she was coming back. Did that mean she was not having a nightmare and the guy in front of her was real?"George, this is my daughter, Marcy. I was just praising your abilities."George's eyes didn't leave Alpha Edward. "You flatter me, Alpha."Alpha Edward bobbed his head in approval. He noticed that whoever saw Marcy, their gazes couldn't stop roaming her body, after all, werewolves are licentious creatures and Marcy is a good-looking she-wolf, yet commander George knew that Marcy is forbidden fruit. This confirmed Alpha Edward's previous assessment that George is the right person to escort Marcy."This is what I like about you. Always humble", and you know your place, "no matter how high you reach.", Alpha Edward said to George and then spoke to Marcy who was still gaping at the newcomer like someone stuck two invisible fingers in her mouth."George is
It was late in the afternoon when a knock on the door got Marcy's attention."I told you I'm not hungry", Marcy grumbled when the door creaked open. Why can't they leave her alone?"I'm not here to offer food.", Nora said while sashaying into Marcy's room.Marcy frowned while trying to suppress the bile that was rising in her throat. Nora and her father! Revolting!"Why are you here?", Marcy snapped, unable to conceal her irritation."Alpha Edward wants to see you in his study. Now.", Nora said calmly, like she didn't notice Marcy's hostility. "And before you ask, he tried mind-linking you, but you didn't respond so here I am."Marcy sneered. "What are you now? His secretary?""I'm just trying to be useful."'Yeah, right. Useful by spreading your legs for my dad.', Marcy couldn't stop the incoming wave of negativity. If she could, she would rip Nora's hair out.Her father is sleeping with his Beta's daughter, her mother is pretending that everything is fine, her brother is obsessed wi
Marcy knew that snooping around could backfire big time. But how can Alpha Edward punish her when she was only days away from leaving for the Dark Howlers pack?Marcy put her hopes on the scenario where Alpha Edward won't be too harsh on her and risk that she switches sides and collaborates with Alpha Drake.True to her role of a pawn, Marcy was kept in the dark and she didn't know any secrets of the Red Moon pack, so she wouldn't be very useful if Alpha Drake decides to attack the Red Moon pack, but just refusing to do Alpha Edward's bidding would be a major punishment for her father.Marcy thought how that would be ironic. Her father spent a lot of time and effort to set her up to be Alpha Drake's bride, and if Marcy cuts her ties with him, it would be all for naught. Poetic justice.Of course, Marcy felt no gratitude toward her father or mother. They sent her away when she was a child and didn't bother raising her, and now that she came of age, they were determined to use her. What
~ the Red Moon Pack ~Earlier that day…Marcy was in the dining room of the Red Moon Pack, having breakfast with her father (aka Alpha Edward), her mother (aka Luna Layla), her brother (aka James), Beta Raymond (aka Nora's father), and Nora.Other than the crisp clinking of the utensils, the dining room was silent. Luna Layla insisted that people shouldn't talk during a meal, because no one should talk with their mouth full of food.Unless they had guests, their mealtimes were quiet occasions.However, the absence of people's voices didn't mean that they didn't communicate through their mind-link.Marcy could see that they would pause their movements occasionally or make faces, which was an obvious sign of an ongoing conversation.It was normal for Alpha Edward and Beta Raymond to mind-link each other. Marcy guessed that they were discussing issues related to the pack, but this time even Nora exchanged a few meaningful glances with Alpha Edward. Since when was Nora important enough to
Talia would be glad if Drake can erase all evidence of his previous hookups, including her memory. If she could believe that she was his first, just how he was hers, that would be perfect. But just deleting files won't be enough. "What about Marcy?""Your wolf wanted me to deal with Marcy without announcing we are mates. I will do that.""Aren't Elders working on getting Marcy to back off?", Talia asked. After Elder Samson and Elder Charlie left the packhouse, Talia didn't hear anything about them.Drake sneered. "They are a useless bunch of cowards who only care about saving their behind. If they were any good, I wouldn't disband them as my advisors.""You are saying that they didn't make any progress with declining Marcy's visit.", Talia summarized to what Drake confirmed with a nod."As I was saying, I will deal with Marcy. If your wolf is anything like mine…" Drake paused. "Is she listening?""I don't think so."Drake cleared his throat awkwardly and Talia understood that Drake wa
Drake cradled in his arms Talia who was sitting in his lap, and for the first time in his life, he had no idea how to deal with the day that was ahead of him.The guests were in the packhouse, and more were on their way, and he had responsibilities and many eyes were on him, yet the only thing he w
Talia reached the kitchen that was already bustling with activity. Stephanie, Zina, and Dawn were working in full swing, and based on the mess, Talia could see that they started a while ago. Talia felt guilty for coming late.To her surprise, no one scolded her."Oho! I was not sure if you will mak
"Are we interrupting?"Talia and Keith looked toward the source of the voice and saw Liam and Pierce.Talia was flustered. Her hands were on Keith's shoulders and they were moving in the middle of the dancing crowd, and she became aware of how close they were. Too close.Liam grinned at the sight o
"How about you, Beta Maya? Can I interest you in one of my specialties?", Keith offered, and Maya refused him while pointing at her drinks, saying how she has enough.Accepting Keith's offer always comes with the danger of tasting something nasty, and Maya didn't want to risk it tonight.Talia quic
