Mag-log inWith members of the bridal party taking their positions, males lined up on Drake's side, and females stood on the other.Maddox was next to Drake as the best man, and Mindy stood first in the line of females as the maid of honor.The Alpha family of the Blue River pack was on the stage with Drake, and with Tony, Kalina, Cristian, Michelle, Axel, and Yasmin there, it was a big deal.Everyone knew that those five packs were allies, but the presence of their highest-ranking members on that podium was confirmation that their relationship was beyond business deals and collaboration between packs. It was personal. It made members of the Dark Howlers, Midnight Guardians, Blue River, Spring Leaf, and Lightclaw packs proud and others envious.The music changed again, and there was a sharp collective intake of air when two people in white stepped on the white carpet. This was it!'Ohs' and 'Ahs' were heard everywhere at the majestic sight of Talia and Valerian.Valerian's suit was completely wh
Meg, Sandy, Mindy, Arya, and Kalina held the edges of the veil while moving around Talia with their hands up in the air. Tatiana was making sure everything was in the right position before gesturing to her five helpers to lower the veil.After pins were stuck to secure the veil to the top of Talia's head, Yasmin was ready to put the tiara on Talia, but she paused when Valerian stepped forward."Can I?" Valerian asked, and Yasmin gave him the tiara.After confirming that Talia was ready, Mindy reminded everyone, "We should be going. Line up in the order we will walk out!"Talia smiled while looking at her friends scurrying to stand at the door of the tent in a line.Mindy was first, followed by Yasmin, Meg, Maya, Sandy, Cornelia, Tatiana, Kalina, Michelle, Dawn, Zina, Olivia, Amelia, Arya, Trisha, and Daria.They spent days deciding on the order of bridesmaids because everyone wanted to go first. Mindy ended the discussion by saying they would be arranged by ranks, with people associat
"AAAHHH!"Shrieks were swallowed by the roar of a sudden gale that exploded in the middle of the tent unexpectedly.Unsecured objects went airborne, and people ducked for cover while the tent shook in an effort to stay attached to the ground."Talia!" Maya cried. "Did you need to do this inside?""Sorry. My aim was off," Talia lied. Her aim was not off. They were running late, and the only way to reach in time was to teleport, but how could she do that when they had humans in the vicinity? Going straight to the tent was the best option.It took a few seconds for the dust to settle, with Drake and Talia embracing each other in the middle.Drake wore a black suit, and his whole body pulsated in darkness while Talia was enveloped in a silvery light."I told you we won't be late," Drake said smugly."You were right.""I am always right. Remember that for the years to come."Talia smiled. Years to come. She liked the sound of it."Aya! Your hair is a mess!" Dawn cried, and Talia was not su
Next to the lake…The event area was lively.Guests started arriving hours in advance. There were a lot of people from the Dark Howlers pack and the Midnight Guardians pack (everyone was invited), and they were eager to help out. It made them feel important. Some even brought food and drinks with them because Drake and Talia said they don't need wedding presents, so the setting up of the venue turned into a pre-wedding party. The mood was good and the area was ready before the scheduled time.Evanora was standing next to Edgar and observing the crowd gathered. Hundreds of people were standing or sitting in small groups and chatting over drinks and snacks.Evanora was particularly interested in humans. They looked like werewolves and witches, but their spirits and bodies were weak, and their connection with nature was almost non-existent.Evanora's interest in humans was not because they were powerless, but because she heard about humans using technology to better their lives. They had
LTalia giggled while ensuring she didn't step on the dress as she followed Drake to another room. He was in a rush.Drake couldn't wait to find privacy with Talia. She looked edible, and he wanted to do all kinds of things that shouldn't be done when others were watching.He closed the door behind them and verified it was locked before turning to Talia.The dress, the light makeup, her braided hair decorated with pearls… it all went great with little pearl earrings that matched the pendant on her necklace, which was an heirloom her mother left behind.Talia held her breath while Drake circled her without making a sound. She loved the fire in his eyes that spoke of boundless love and carnal pleasures.Drake was a predator eyeing his prey, ready to pounce at any moment, and his deadly proficiency was the most potent aphrodisiac."You are beautiful, kitten," Drake said in a low growl.Drake caressed her cheek with the tips of his fingers while looking at her dreamily. "I can't believe yo
Maya was confident that the world stopped spinning, and everything stilled, including Talia who was standing right in front of her."What did you say?" Maya asked in a whisper.Talia smiled. "Triplets, Maya." She knew about Maya's worries, so she assured her. "I am positive.""Woah, Caden is a stud! He can nail them three-in-one." Mindy exclaimed."My cousin had four pups at the time," Trisha said. "It's a lot of work.""Who cares if it's one or four? When it gets hard, she can ask us for help," Dawn said while rubbing her perfectly flat stomach. There was a pup inside there, and she couldn't wait for her stomach to start showing."Well, congratulations!" Zina exclaimed, and all females gathered around Maya to chatter excitedly while Maya was technically unresponsive.The door flew open, and Caden stood there.Caden was rushing to dress up in dark gray pants and a white shirt when he felt Maya's unstable mood.Maya's last heat came unexpectedly, and it was an emotional experience for
~ the Dark Howlers pack ~ Drake entered his study and looked grumpily at the stack of documents that are waiting for him to sign. Why is the Alpha of the largest pack in North America forced to do this office work? As a child, when he imagined his future, Drake saw himself as a mighty warrior, s
In the guest bedroom… Drake pushed Marcy away from him and Marcy fell on her butt unceremoniously. "Who is that girl?", Drake asked while buttoning up his pants. Marcy was confused. "What girl?" "The one with towels! She left towels in the bathroom and left!", Drake roared and jabbed his hand i
In the guestroom… Drake sat in the comfy sofa chair and observed Marcy smugly. She was standing three steps in front of Drake with her hands crossed over her chest defensively. "You wanted privacy, so here we are.", Drake said while waving his hand, gesturing for Marcy to start talking. "Conside
It was late morning when Drake, Caden, and May arrived at the Red Moon pack. Layla apologized for the absence of her husband.
