"What's happening here?" Matthew asked, his voice menacingly low.
A flash of fear flickered in the boy's eyes. "Good evening, Alpha," He uttered, bowing before him.
Madeline smiled at him, unfazed by his sudden appearance. "We were tasting my cake, you want to try it?" She felt the boy nudge her softly, staring at her with wide eyes.
"What are you doing? He's the Alpha, bow to him," He whispered.
She looked back at Matthew. "I have to bow too? Okay." She bent at her waist, lowering her head. The Alpha watched in bemusement as she clumsily bowed. This was the first time she had ever showed any sign of submission to him as the other Pack members do.
His attention turned back to the young-looking boy. "Since when did they let children work as cooks?"
"... Children? I'm almost eighteen, Alpha."
"Really? I couldn't tell," He replied condescendingly. "I assume the foo

➳Madeline wandered through the meadow, the cool breeze blowing through her hair. Now that the long winter had come to an end, it was finally warm enough for her to enjoy a nice walk outside again.A bright smile formed on her face when she arrived at the garden. It was wide and colorful, sloping gently down a turquoise-blue river. Groves of peaceful birch trees surrounded it, casting idyllic shadows onto the lush, green grass, while lettinga few glinting sunbeams through here and there. In the middle stood a large bed of roses in the shape of a heart,pink and blue; her favorite colors.Matthew had built this garden a few weeks ago for her seventeenth birthday as a present, along with giving her multiple sets of diamond jewelry, and throwing a grand party for the entire Pack to celebrate her special day. She was blown away by how much money he had spent on her. Just spending the day with him would havebeen enough of a gift f

➳"And you know he keeps a calendar for my periods? I pretended like I didn'tnotice it but I was so embarrassed. I mean I guess it's kind of sweetthat he cares that much about me- Mittens? Where are you going?" Madeline perched herself up the edge of the tub to look at the cat, who was just sitting on the counter a few seconds ago. "I was talking to you. It's really rude to just leave in the middle of a conversation like that. I know you're just a cat,but still."The girl watched curiously as he frantically ran around the large bathroom, before jumping into the laundry basket and hiding under the clothes. "What a strange cat," She thought, standing up. Now that the animal was out of sight, she could finally get out of the tub without anyone looking at her.Or so she thought.Matthew barged into the bathroom, sniffing around."Where is it?"With a scream, Madeline quickly covered herself w

➳Wearing a cheerfulsmile, Madeline strolled around the neck of the woods. It was the Mystic Moon's annual Fighter Day, a day dedicated to celebrating the strength and courage of the Pack's warriors.The pavements around the territory were decorated with banners and graceful archways, bloomingflowers of all colors were planted all around the land, and a joyful aura flowed through the atmosphere. The men engaged in friendly fights to refine their skills, while children ran and played together in the distance.A tug on her skirt made her turn around. Behind her stood a little boy, his hands grasping the fabric of her clothes."Hello," He uttered, grinning adorably. "Are those cupcakes?"Madeline crouched down to meet the boy's height, her smile widening. "Do you want one?"He nodded eagerly and reached to grab theconfection. "Thank you, Miss.""Noah! Get back here." A woman ordered, rushing over to

As he stared outside, Matthew could have sworn something was watching him.He shook the thoughtout of his head, turning his attention to the blank notepad on his desk.After pensively clicking his pen a few times, he began scribbling:Pros of turning Maddie into a direwolf :- Mate-bond- Mind-link- Pups- Increase her strength- Increase her lifespanCons of turning Maddie into a direwolf :- Cat might refuse to get out of her- No more drunk MaddieHe stared at the list contemplatively. There were more pros than cons, butwas it worth it? "She's so cute when she's drunk though-""Matthew!" His mate's

➳The full moon gleamed brightly in the sky, despite the balefulclouds billowing the horizon. In the air wafted thefresh, earthy aroma of petrichor. A storm was brewing up, Matthew could smell it. He longed forthe safety of his home, yet he could not go back.There was a deep ache in his bones. Each step came with a blaze of pain as the ten-year-old boyhiked up the mountain. His head grew dizzier with each minute, buthe did not stop.If he wanted to live, he had to keep going.Matthew scolded himself for leaving his house. "If you just stayed home, everything would'vebeen fine." But it was too late now. They had smelled his scent. If he were to return home, he would only lead the direwolf hunters to his family. His only option was to hide and pray they would not find him.A loud clap of thunder made the young boy jump, his foot slipping off the roc

➳A ticklish sensation abovehis cheststirred him awake. Matthew sleepily opened his eyes, squinting at the sunlight that peered through the curtains. His mate laid on top of him, her face digging into his neck as she sniffed him rather aggressively."What are you doing?" His voice came out deep and husky, laced with sleep.Madeline lifted her head to look at him. "Why do you smell so good?It's like you dipped yourself in chocolate. Mmmh..."The corners of his lips curved upwards. "That is my scent. You can finally smell it now that you're a wolf." He reached up to grab her hands, sinking his fingers into spaces between hers. Her body melted at his touch while she stared at their interlocked hands in awe."Do you feel that too? It's like, tingling every time you touch me," She marvelled, giving hishands a small squeeze."I've been feeling this ever since we met." His arms travelled down to wrap arou

➳"You're the cutest thing I've ever seen, you know that?" Madeline stared with adoration as she gently rocked the baby in her arms. "Oh, and I got you a new toy!" She reached into her bag and grabbed a pink rattle, shaking it around. The newborn giggled joyfully, her tiny fingers reaching for the object. "Do you like it? It even has your name on it, see?""You spoil my daughter more than I do," The Beta female laughed, watching the two from the doorway.The young girl simply smiled in response. "It's not my fault she's so adorable.""You know Maddie, Ithink you'd make a great mother someday."She blinked, clearly taken aback by the Beta's words. "... Really?""Of course, kids love you."Effervescent feelings bloomed inside of her at the thought of becoming a mother. She shook her head, remindingherself that she was not even eighteen yet."Thank you, but I'm still to young for that.""

➳The water gently travelleddown the stream, springing over the limestone rocks along its path. Each droplet glimmered like thousands of infinitesimal diamonds as they reflected the sun's glare. Standingpeacefully in the background, the birch groves bestoweda pleasant shade to the girl who sat in the garden, staring at the river thoughtfully.Madeline's investiture was to take place soon; she would officially become the Luna of the Mystic Moon Pack.Such an event should be thrilling, but she could not help but brood over it. "Will my Pack accept me?" When she was a human not long ago, the werewolves had all regarded her with disdain, refusing to speak to her or even glance in her direction.Not to mention, she was not a werewolf herself. How can a direwolf and a former human ever fit in, let alone be their Luna?She doesn't belong here with us.Absentmindedly, her gaze driftedto t
