As the Luna and Beta females gathered around the bonfire and circled it, slowly swaying their bodies to the rhythm of the drums, traditional melodies began to play. The females ramped up the tempo as they swayed their hips and waved their hands in sync, circling the fire, to the beat of the drums. wolves surrounding them slowly started clapping. Soon, everyone was in sync as they danced to greet the moon. The dance was a tradition of our lands. This dance was one of the few things that the packs in this region had in common. This ceremonial dance is very crucial in bringing the wolves closer.Just at the opposite side of the fire, stood Alpha Erdem. His blazing blues stared so intently at his Luna. His eyes followed her every move. The love and hunger in his eyes were so visible that even in this distance, I could see that crystal clear. I closed my eyes and looked up at the sky. The stars were like a choir in the serenade of the black; they were like lights that spook in limitless pa

A moment passed that felt like an eternity, but I didn’t feel the beast near me. My wolf snarled and growled trying to tear through my barrier. But I was way too weak and afraid to shift. I heard the beast snorting. But I never heard any beast snort like that. I lifted my hands and peeked over the shield of my hands.“A horse!” I exclaimed in surprise as the black horse tilted his head. Wait! I recognise this horse! I stood up slowly and the horse stared at me with curious eyes. “What are you doing here?” I asked in a shaky voice as the horse snorted again, blowing air through his nostrils. My wolf sat down on her hind legs and tilted her head staring at the horse with curiosity. “Are you lost?” I asked again as I lifted my hand and took a step back. But perhaps he didn’t like it and took a step back grunting. I don’t think I want to upset him. He could squash me just by stepping on me with one leg. I stopped and lifted my hands up. And the horse stopped as well.“You shouldn’t be h

“What happened?” I inquired, but she shook her head and did not look up. Even a child could tell there was something wrong, but she denied it. I was about to roll my eyes, but I restrained myself.“Please tell me. What is the problem?” I persisted, and she sighed again, but this time she looked up.“I can’t seem to get the mixture right for the Chiboust cream for my A gâteau St. Honoré.” She said and my eyes widened. Gateau is one of the most difficult desserts to make. Being the baking enthusiast I am, I had tried to make A gâteau St. Honoré when I was merely sixteen. And I must say, it had left me traumatised to say the very least. Even so, I had given it a shot again after two or so years and after many failed attempts, I had succeeded.“Also, the pastry won't come out right no matter how many times I tried. I almost ran out of the ingredients. I might as well give up.” She groaned throwing her head back. I truly felt sorry for her.“Would you like me to help?” I asked and she look

My mother's words rang in my ears as I sat at the packhouse dinner table with the other wolves that night. I watched as my male smiled and laughed with his chosen by his side. I sat there watching as she passed him the dessert I had helped make. I sat there watching as he kissed her and thanked her for the food. And I wondered. I wondered if he had chosen to mate with a female who had not been bestowed upon him. Is he the one who persuaded Sigrún or perhaps plotted to mate with her? But if that was the case, then why would he call me a liar? Why would he believe that I am lying? If he was not the one who did it, then it only leaves Sigrún. I know I am not lying, and I know I did not forge the bond. Is it, then, her? Is she the one to blame? Did she somehow forge the bond with Erdem and convince him that she was his mate? I need to find out the truth. I have to get behind this. To get to the truth, I need to get to know her, gain her trust and get closer to her. I had been keeping my d

I was growing more and more irritated. If that Alpha Erdem was in front of me right now! I would have smacked the shit out of him! It is his fault that I am in this situation! He is a male! He should have kept his dick under control! “That jerk!” I sniffed as my eyes welled up with tears, and before I knew it, I was sobbing nonstop. “I hate him. I hate this.” As tears streamed from my eyes, I quivered. My vision became blurry from the tears, and I sat down to cry properly. I wiped my face with the back of my hand. “Why can’t I stop crying!” I sobbed as I continually wiped my eyes. “I hate this!” I screamed. “These pregnancy hormones,” I threw my hands in the air in frustration and wailed. I don’t know where I was, or where I was going by the time I had calmed down. I was becoming an emotional wreck day by day and there was nothing that could stop it. I suppose my body was trying to cope with the changes pregnancy was bringing. Nurturing a new life was never meant to be easy. But
