News spread fast about the The Moonstone Howler’s Luna about to give birth, whose pregnancy has been known as difficult, and to be oversee by the Saville woman within Clayton’s territory. Wolf members from different packs who arrived early came flocking towards the center and it took a lot of Clayton’s control to send them off.
Amarah was pacing back and forth worriedly outside the room, muttering under her breath after Matt had told Clayton that it will take him eight more hours to come back since he and Lily had left at the early hours in the morning to go camping and planning to return tomorrow. Constance was also unavailable since her father had taken a turn for the worst.
Eloise, the healer in training came out of the room and relayed an update to Amarah. She was the only one that Clayton believed that could currently help in the tense situation. After hearing the condition of the wife, Clayton swore under his breath to look for more healers in h
Clayton accepted the water that his father had given and immediately handed it to Alpha Jack, who never left his post, right outside the door of the room where his wife is being taken care of by Amarah and Eloise.The older alpha ignored the water and just continued his vigil outside the door, where the weak cries of his wife can be heard. He was now joined by his Beta, Gustav and his family. His son, who is only eight years old is sleeping contentedly on his grandmother’s lap, who is holding her own vigil, praying for the safety of their Luna.The crowd in front of the center has grown ten-fold as the news had spread all throughout the territory as well as its neighboring packs.“Please, Amarah, save my daughter,” Cynthia begged tearfully. “I don’t know what my husband had said to you, but I begged you to save hers instead of mine. She’s got a lot to live for and I know that my husband and our son will take care of her.&rdquo
Amarah lightly traced the Ice Amethyst symbol that appeared on her inner right wrist last night. She smiled and kissed the mark, overjoyed at the first gift she believes the Moon Goddess Selene had bestowed upon her.She is currently sitting underneath a tree, less than a mile away and concealed from the health center for some quiet time.She recalled the moment that it happened.After she was able to deliver the baby via C-Section, there was severe bleeding from Luna Cynthia that she and Eloise had immediately tried to stop. However, during the few minutes, the patient’s blood pressure shoots up, the one thing that Amarah was strictly monitoring.“Save my baby,” Cynthia begged weakly, knowing no cry had come from the child. “Tell her that mommy will always love her.”She gently reached out a hand towards her baby and then dropped down on the bed.“No, no, no,” Amarah muttered as she looked at Eloise
Clayton nodded at the Omega after drinks had been served to the present Alpha’s as well as the members of the Council of Alpha’s that night at the open backyard of Clayton’s house. With most of the packs already in his territory, Clayton had decided to hold a welcoming dinner for the alpha’s, even if it was not a common thing from the previous Mating Festival.However, due to Amarah’s rising status that further heightened because of saving Jack Hunter’s wife and daughter, most of the packs had arrived earlier than expected. He was glad that he had decided to prepare early than usual, thankful that all accommodations had been catered to. A few hours ago, he had three long tables set up along with hanging lights which are now illuminating their venue.Clayton was seated at one table while his father was on another table, who is entertaining the members of the Council of Alpha’s. The only alpha who are not present is from The Sabl
Amarah stood beside Matt and Lily quietly as they watched the king giving out a message at the platform constructed, to the crowd, most especially addressing those pack members joining the festival. He also highlighted and congratulated the newly transformed wolves from the different packs while all the alphas and betas are behind him, looking towards the crowd.It was the highlight night of The Mating Festival where the so-called The Chase will be happening in a few minutes. As told by Clayton, Amarah went with Matt and Lily, and they are currently standing at the balcony outside of Clayton’s office in the pack house and watching below the ceremony.“So, in a way the male members already know who they’re going to mark?” She asked Lily quietly. “How?”“It’s one of the reasons why members joining The Chase come here a day or two before,” she explained softly. “It gives them the time to already sniffed ou
Clayton furiously looked down at the three wolves, who turned out to be rogues, that he managed to overpower, who were threatening Amarah, after he transformed back to human form. He nodded at the Delta soldiers that he had called over, silently telling them to put them inside the security chambers.He will deal with them after the festival is over.As what he had planned the past few days, he had Amarah accompany Matt and Lily, making sure that she’s with someone the whole time. Giving in to the demands of the alphas who are clamoring to see her, Clayton waited until the king had arrived before inviting Amarah to join them for lunch.“It is an honor to meet you, Your Majesty,” Amarah said warmly as she bowed in front of the king formally after Clayton introduced her. “I’ve been looking forward meeting you since Clayton has been telling me stories of your great feat.”King Atticus nodded and held out his hand to her.
Clayton finally went out from his car a little after midnight. He looked towards his house and saw that all the lights are still on. He rubbed his forehead to relieved himself from the headache he is currently feeling after having a conference with the alphas and the king.The three wolves who dared try to mark Amarah was from a rebel pack from the North, The Red Fang Howlers. After finally beating some cooperation into them, they finally revealed that they were tasked by their alpha upon hearing that the girl connected to the prophecy is within his territory. The three were the top warriors of the pack and he held himself well enough to not beat them to death.He saw no remorse in their eyes as they were being chained inside the prison chambers. One of them in fact bragged to him arrogantly that he was able to mark the girl and he would die a hero’s death for what he had done.“The girl could not be marked that easily,” Clayton said stiffly. &
After seeing Matt and Lily took off, Clayton linked with Ella and patiently told her that he is dismissing her from her duties and to already get some rest. He will call her if there is anything that he will be needing from her.Clayton finally turned off most of the lights inside his house, leaving some outside and one at the dining area before going inside his room. The minute he closed the door to his room, he could hear Amarah crying quietly from the bathroom and the shower running.Taking a new and thick towel from his cabinet, Clayton walked inside the bathroom and came to a complete stop when he saw her. All the control he had gathered when he stepped down his car immediately evaporated at the sight in front of him.Amarah, naked, is sitting on the shower floor with water running down on her. She is holding his soap and rubbing it frantically on the marks that run up her upper towards her back. While she was doing that, tears continued streaming down her
Amarah could feel herself blushing at the boldness that she is currently showing Clayton. But she told herself silently that it’s either now or never. Ever since the night that he admitted and told her truthfully about Erika, she had noted that he became caring and open with her.She recalled one night where she told him that she was bored, and he laid out to her the plans that he did for the upcoming mating festival. He explained to her the preparations that his pack is doing and told her what’s going to happen during the festival.With nothing to do mostly in the evening, she had almost finished reading and scanning through the books that Clayton has in his office, which also constitutes a small library. She had also brought home some books from the center and studied through it. But her mind also became heavy with information overload. She became hungry for other things and she had told Clayton about it.Clayton reciprocated by not making fun of h
