It is the annual meeting of Alphas in this hemisphere.
My pack is hosting this event, as the Alpha King, I am responsible for the all packs on this side of the world. It's stampeding, there were no cancellations for well-known reasons.
Together with Councilors and Elders on the platform, I now oversee the crowd in the hall.
My eyes roam once again over the heads, from the front row to those standing in the back with a glass in hand. Every now and then, they fall into a pair of eager stares from a she-wolf who wants to be noticed by me.
But I'm looking for a pair of gray ones that are carved into my heart, capable of turning this tedious conference into an exciting event in the blink of an eye. If they're here in the room, I'm sure I'll notice them in no time. They know exactly how to attract me like a magnet, control my senses if I just take one look into them. But I can’t find them yet. I haven't seen them for two whole shitty weeks, my wolf feels ditched, he craves them.
I am one of the key speakers of this meeting today. This is supposed to be an important gathering, but when I look around it looks more like a mating party. And I'm the prey. The she-wolves have really put a lot of effort into their looks, one trying to outdo the other with a more expensive dress. Any Alpha with an unmated at-age daughter tries his luck with me today. It is almost sickening how she-wolves are on the hunt instead of the reverse. But they are desperate, on a mission. Mating with the Alpha King means a massive upgrade to their pack, a top status and lots of privileges for their family.
But I'm focused on finding one black-haired beauty with a slim waist, full hips and a gorgeous big ass. Her eyes flame with love any time she catches sight of me and when our lips meet, it is like two fully loaded clouds clashing. The Moon Goddess has done a masterful job with her. She's dazzled, that mate of mine. The way she plays on my emotions, her attraction to me is undeniable, it's beyond the mate bond. We share a solid relationship.
Completely absorbed in my quest among the guests, I fail to hear that Alpha Remus from Silver Bow appeals to me. He saw my eager gaze going through the crowd but misinterpreted it. “Alpha King, isn't it time now to choose a mate? You are 23 years now, the youngest high-ranking in the Werewolf community. You need a Luna to help carry the responsibilities of the packs alongside you,” he insists.
An old, weary song.
He's not the only one expressing this concern, the Alphas also really act like I'm already an old man with infertile testicles. Seriously, at twenty-three!
But their concern is understandable actually, at this age, most Alphas in the packs already have a complete family. I am the Alpha King and in their eyes, I should have settled long ago. If they only knew I am already mated, I think many here would have a heart attack from shock.
I scan the room one last time, then focus on the Alpha. "Yes, you are right. I have to do a tour soon to see if my fated mate is waiting for me somewhere in a dark corner of a pack”, I answer him, more to get rid of his whining. “If she still can't be found, I might decide to take a chosen one”. Luckily he buys my statement and gets off my back.
I don't have to fear this Alpha for mating me up with a daughter. Alpha Remus has three sons, so there's no candidate to force on me. He is my good friend, I hate to lie to him. But announcing that I had already found my fated mate but not being able to present her will seriously damage my reputation and undermine my leadership. So, I have no choice but to wait until Drina is ready for me to officially make her my Luna Queen. Man, I can’t wait for that day!
Again my mind wanders to my mate. I long to see her tonight, it's been almost two weeks since I last saw her. She looked a little fatter then, when I grabbed her waist in ecstasy to get her closer, she looked wider there. It looked like she was pregnant. If I meet her tonight, I'll keep an eye out for that and then ask her directly if our first pup is on the way. Just the idea warms me up inside, my own pup!
Last year I also felt that her body was changing.
When I gently brought this up, she stayed away for a few months. I almost went mad, my wolf couldn't bear to miss her scent for that long. I had to release him more often in the woods behind the packhouse to let off steam. We knew our mate was not sick or dead, otherwise, we would have felt it in the mate bond. She probably had more pressing matters holding her attention than visiting me.
When she finally returned to me, she had her old weight back.
Curvy or skinny, she's my mate and I love her as the Moon Goddess gave her to me. No, I'm crazy about her and that's why the pushiness of the women around me today passes me by. Don't get me wrong, they are all beautiful, but just not for me.
And then, my name is called, it's my turn to make the closing speech. This annual meeting is my only stage to prove to the packs I am still active in my position. For the last five years, I have been low-key, my beta represented me in all other encounters with the Alphas.
And my absence did not go unnoticed.
Beta Jace reported the comments made from time to time about my persistent absence from mainly bilateral discussions. There was much speculation as to whether I was ill or crippled, a single Alpha even suspected I was dead. When they saw and spoke to me again in these annual meetings, the suspicions subsided for several months. No one suspects that my time was reserved to be with my sexy mate...
The audience all relaxed during my light-hearted speech. I go a bit hilarious, even those who thought I was dead before are now having a good laugh at the jokes I slip through my serious lines. The hall is silent, you could hear a pin drop, nobody wants to miss a word of my speech. The Alphas want to see for themselves that I'm healthy and good, able to still lead them. And of course, the sexy she-wolves have occupied the front rows, with the permission of their Alpha father. None of them can stand in the shadow of my sexy mate, they are so wasting their time here. It's been the same every year since I was eighteen. I often wonder why the senses of these lower rankings just can't detect that I'm mated, Drina always leaves her scent full on me. I know she's marking her territory, I really don't mind. I am all hers. But why can't these horny she-wolves understand? And then, the door at the back of the ballroom opens and a woman with long jet-black locks slips into the hall. Her author
“Alpha King, this is my daughter Jasmina. She turned eighteen a few months ago and is now traveling with me to gain experience in the pack's work.” Alpha Glary of Silver Moon pushes his youngest daughter in front of me. She is beautiful, I must give her that. Shy and uncomfortable with the situation, obviously this is not her idea, her father is forcing her on me, embarrassing her publicly. All eyes are on us, everyone is waiting for my usual rejection. I feel sorry for her, she is a woman like my mate, a subject I should also treat with respect. I take her hand and kiss the back of it. “Hi, Jasmina. You are definitely a beauty. I hope the other Alphas don't present their daughters to me in this way too, but shall we have a drink in the back?” I offer her. This is uncommon for me, the packs have never actually seen me in female company. That's why many suspects I'm gay. But Jasmina also gives me the opportunity to tear myself away from the pushy Alphas here. I put her hand on my elbow
I take my mate in my arms and carry her up the stairs to the cabin.She clings to me like a vice, her hands tossing in my long hair as I cover her face with light kisses. It always feels good when she does this.It is a luxury Jet with an open space. In addition to a few chairs, there is also a comfortable wide sofa. I put my mate on her feet, take her hand and lead her to the bar where I pour two glasses of wine for us. “Let's toast, my love”, I whisper innocently to her. “To a long life and our love”. She looks at me uneasily, sensing that there is more to this surprise trip. Reluctantly, she clicks her glass against mine. “Hmmm, where are we going, Enrick?” she asks suspiciously. I grin teasingly. “Wait and see. Let's put on our seatbelts for the pilot to take off this machine."I take Drina to a single chair, put on her seatbelt and sit on another one opposite her. In the mind link, I let the pilot know that we are ready. We take off steady and when we are safely in
I'm taking my mate to Paris to visit the yearly week of fashion.She loves beautiful exotic clothes and I love to spoil her. During the five years we've been together, she's bought herself almost nothing with the credit card I gave her. All lingerie and other clothing are what we have selected together.But I do notice that she spends money in Victoria's Secrets shops, but the amounts are more like small items she buys. And she also likes to shop for groceries at Walmart, always the same amount every month. As if she is purchasing the same items every month, never going out of her budget. I once told her not to be so frugal, we have enough money to feed an entire army. She laughed heartily at my remark, promised to keep me to my word. She probably plans to give me a lot of pups, I'm so ready for that, pups with my mate.We are now in the VIP lounge, examining what the catwalk has to offer us. There are a few designs I would like to see her in, but I notice her getting startled every t
Today is a special day in Midnight Moon. My in-laws are coming to visit. I wanted to make the best impression, so I told Jace to clean up and decorate the pack territory. The only thing I was ready to explain to him earlier was that I would welcome important visitors and everything has to be in top condition. We're in my office about to do an inspection round to ensure everything is going according to plan. Jace has stepped up the security, this isn't an ordinary visit we get. We have about four hours before Drina arrives with her parents. It will be a dinner with the high rankings and Elders of Midnight Moon. With Drina I have agreed that we will announce that her parents are influential businessmen who pay me a courtesy visit. As much as I urged her to tell the pack the truth now, she said her family needed some time before they could do that. Again she didn't explain the secrecy surrounding our relationship, if I had an inferiority complex, I would think she was ashamed of me. Bu
A strange comment, but nevertheless, I nod for my father-in-law's explanation.Because every werewolf parent knows their children can already meet their mate when they turn eighteen. Not much preparation is needed, especially since it is the she-wolf who is leaving her parental home to live with her mate. And I'm all set to have Drina with me, I don't have to prove that anymore.Ooohh well, I'll pass this subject on too, ultimately this is a matter between Drina and me.The aura of these people may seem strange, but they surely are not evil. Actually, I only receive positive vibes from my father-in-law, he seems to be a dignified and honest person. His demeanor is somewhat aristocratic, which greatly piques my curiosity. I will have to be very subtle with my questions to learn more about this family. I certainly don't want to offend them, with my mate still in their house, I'm walking on eggshells.Before I am able to answer, we hear a buzz outside the door.The voices of my warriors
Erina holds all our attention, albeit in different ways.Drina and her mother peek broodingly at the little girl, there will undoubtedly be punishment waiting for her when she returns home. Arthur, on the other hand, is greatly amused by the child's behavior, as if he is used to her mischief. Jace serves her like a servile servant, gets her a plate and cutler and everything she demands.When dinner is finally served, we eat in a relaxed mood. My in-laws are genuinely wonderful people, It's really a pity I didn't meet them sooner. But I think everything happens at the right time, Drina sure knows why she held it off so long. Thank God, she relaxes next to me as we chat lightly with her parents. I feel so proud with her at my side, her attitude is more that of a Luna.My mate helps her parents choose the dishes and pour their glasses.She makes sure they don't lack anything. One of the waitresses nearly dropped a carafe with juice when Drina approached her for some more meat. Fortunatel
Somewhere in the Southern area“So that bitch Drina has finally found her fated mate.” Alcina, the witch, grits her teeth as she reads her writings of the day. This is the final episode of her plan, the day she’d been waiting for two decennia. Drina and her mate will complete her revenge on Florence and her mate, Arthur.For years she has kept an eye on the daughter of the couple who has radically changed her life. From baby to her teens, she’d watched the only daughter of Florence. On a few occasions, she has given them sleepless nights by casting a spell of sickness on the little Drina, just enough to ensure she won’t die. Before ending Drina’s life, Alcina has another soap in mind with she, herself playing the leading role.Drina is the key to her plan. The witch hates Florence and her mate with all that’s in her. They are responsible for the loss of everything important she owned. It was over twenty years ago when Arthur burned her coven, the largest in the western hemisphere, to
