LOGINSandy took the opportunity to ask Meg, "Where are the people?" Somehow, she expected a bustling scenery of desirable virgins, yet they didn’t see a single werewolf other than their hosts and Omegas that were moving silently through the main building.Where are the hot untouched guys!?Meg missed the hint of lust in Sandy’s words, and she responded innocently. "In this pack, most of the things are happening underground."Meg also thought that living underground was strange when she arrived at the Midnight Guardians pack.Sandy wondered if she heard Meg right, and Keith and Liam also perked up their ears to listen.Werewolves were free spirits, craving open space without walls and restrictions, always looking up at the moon and the stars, and how can any of that be possible unless one was outside? Underground was only for storage and dungeons."Underground?", Sandy asked, obviously wanting more information.Meg confirmed. "It’s our way of living without disturbing nature. Think of it as
Talia turned the page and paused. "Guardians?""Yes.", Axel said. "They also want to meet with you. A person introduced himself as Julian. He said he has information that might interest you."Talia released a long breath. She wanted to know more about the Guardians, and she would love to meet with them. However, that was before they implied how powerful people would want to get their hands on her and that if she doesn’t join them, she will be either corrupted or killed. And weren’t the Guardians powerful? Also, they concealed their nature as magic users, and Talia didn’t believe that she can join them and swear to neutrality. And there was a problem with her injecting with the memory-erasing potion. What if he remembered, or someone saw it? There could be security cameras they didn’t notice. The more Talia thought about it, the more reasons not to meet with the Guardians piled up. What if it’s a trap? They could use runes or other items to seal her abilities and she would be a lamb go
"First of all...", Axel’s voice trailed and he sucked in a sharp breath as he steeled his resolve to continue talking."It’s embarrassing to admit, but the truth is that you are stronger than I am. Alpha is the strongest one in the pack for a reason. Other than leading our people, you are also representing our pack in front of others. One needs to earn that honor. If I accept being the Alpha while you are alive and kicking, I won’t be able to look people in the eyes. That alone will make me unfit to be an Alpha.""I don’t see myself as stronger than you are, Axel. You can overpower me in a second, and even if I miraculously dodge your first attack, you will defeat me with a polished fighting technique."Axel shook his head, rejecting Talia’s arguments. "You should know that strength is not defined by how heavy a punch is. Just as you are aware that I can overpower you, I know that your abilities can’t be measured. You are kind and determined, and you will go above and beyond to improv
Talia made a face. That was James’ solution?He wanted Talia to become power-hungry and to suppress everyone who opposes her? Should she become a monster in order to fight other monsters?At this time, Keith, Sandy, and Liam entered the living room, to see that James raised his hand, palm toward Talia, indicating to her that she should be patient and hear him out.The newly arrived trio wondered what they missed because this seemed important. Meg waved at them to come and get some snacks."I know what you are going to say." James smiled at Talia meaningfully. "Do you think I would speak those words if I don’t believe you can do it? This is not about you doing everything on your own. Start by looking at yourself and then look around you. You are the Alpha of the Midnight Guardians pack. I saw you healing your guard and dispelling dark magic in a mystical ritual that caused a tornado. On top of that, you lived right under my father’s nose, and it’s not that he didn’t realize you are an
Drake and Talia came to the living room, and they found Yasmin there with Meg."Is the room to your liking?", Meg asked. "If you need anything, let us know.""It’s wonderful.", Talia responded."Don’t treat her like a guest.", Yasmin reminded Meg. "This is her house.""I don’t treat her like a guest.", Meg snapped back. "I treat her like Alpha. Since Talia was not here for a while, I don’t want her to feel awkward."Talia smiled at this banter between Yasmin and Meg. It showed that they are getting along well."Where is Axel?", Talia asked. She wanted to talk about giving him the Alpha position."He is dealing with some urgent matters. Axel will join us soon.", Yasmin responded and gestured toward several plates on the low table that had snacks on them. "Please, help yourself. I hope you can feel at home and I don’t need to urge you to eat. I can show you where the kitchen is and other amenities."Talia smiled at Yasmin who was acting as a wonderful Luna. "We can do the tour later whe
~ The Midnight Guardians pack ~Axel got a message through the mind-link that Alpha is back with six other people, and Axel rushed from his office to welcome them.He found at the main entrance Drake, Talia, James, Cornelia, and three new faces (Keith, Sandy, and Liam).Meg was there already instructing Omegas where to take the suitcases.Axel was surprised to see that Talia came with so many people. James and Cornelia were familiar faces, as Axel saw them in the Lightclaw pack, but he didn’t know who Keith, Liam, and Sandy were. Talia was quick to introduce them as her guards."Why didn’t you say that you are coming?", Axel asked Talia and pulled her into his embrace while ignoring Drake’s low growls of warning.Talia patted Axel’s back. "If I told you we are coming, you would make a fuss about it. Besides, didn’t you say that this is my home? Do I need to announce my arrival?"Axel puffed his cheeks in frustration. "I wouldn’t make a fuss, but we would at least prepare some snacks a
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. "He is with the scouts who picked up suspicious movements on the eastern border of our territory before dawn. Edward is a hands-on leader and wants to personally ensure we
~ The Red Moon pack ~ "Out of the way!", Anna spat angrily while carrying a stack of plates into the kitchen. Talia quickly stepped to the side, not wanting to attract attention. She never understood why Anna or other Omegas are treating her like trash, she is an Omega, just like they are. The o
