"Look who is here," a male voice said as Alex entered the main entrance with Rosalie curled up in his arms. "I see that our alpha has caught a little minx from the mating ceremony." "James," Alex smiled, "This is Rosalie, my mate," he said. Rosalie looked at the man, blushing slightly. James chuckled, "you have caught a pretty one." "My one and only," Alex nodded. "I reckon we won’t be seeing our Alpha for a long time?" James smiled knowingly. Alex grinned, "I think I'll be absent for some time," he started to walk to his quarters when he paused in mid-track, "On second thought, come to my office in two hours, there are some things I need to discuss with you." "As you wish, my alpha," James nodded. Rosalie cringed in embarrassment as he walked up the grand staircase and through the long corridor, carrying her. The lower ranks and his in-commands bowed their heads to them, sniffing at their scent. Not used to being bowed to, Rosalie shuddered and hid her face, blushing deep red,
Alex let himself out, and carefully shut the door to his suite so as not to disturb his sleeping mate. It was far past midday, and there were still matters pertaining to the pack that needed to be resolved. In spite of the fact that he desperately wanted to neglect his responsibilities and instead lie in bed all day while Rosalie screamed in delight, he was unable to do so. In addition to that, she appeared to be completely at ease while reclining in his bed. As is customary, his betas kept watch at his front door. When they saw him, they showed their reverence for their Alpha by bowing their heads to him. Formally, Tylor congratulated Alpha Alex on his mating, saying, "Congratulations, Alpha Alex, on your mating." Troy continued by saying, "May your coming together bear fruit and be blessed by the Goddess Luna." Alex expressed his gratitude to his Betas and gladly acknowledged their congratulations. In the mansion, there was an unusually profound quietness. Alex found this to be a
The girls all spoke at once, "Good morning, madam, how are you?" Rosalie blinked at them. "I'm fine," then answered shortly, "Please don't call me that". It was their turn to look baffled at her. "What shall we address you as, Madam Luna? Shall we call you 'Madam Alpha'? "One of them inquired with a perplexed expression, wondering if they had offended their Alpha's new mate with their comments. Rosalie gave a quick shake of her head. "No, please, just call me Rosalie." Rosalie noticed that they were looking even more perplexed as they came to the conclusion that her request sounded strange to them. “Please feel free to call me Rosalie; I'm not used to being addressed in such a formal manner.” They gave a nod. They all chimed in at the same time, "As you wish, Madam Rosalie." Rosalie heaved a frustrated sigh, "Just call me Rosalie, please." They giggled as if they found her behaviour very amusing. "My name is Janet Malcolm. I am James's daughter," the blond chirped happily. "
Given that it was a restricted beach, it was not surprising to find that the beach was devoid of any visitors. The temperature was rising slowly but steadily. The warm rays of the sun had previously warmed the sand, making it pleasant to walk on, and the waves that were rolling in sparkled in an alluring manner. Towels were spread out in the sand after Rosalie and her friends had chosen places to sit down and relax. After removing her clothes, Rosalie sat down next to Janet and Ashley. They didn't even bother bringing a swimsuit with them. They were completely at ease when naked, just like other wolves. Rosalie heaved a sigh of contentment as Ashley and Janet rubbed sunscreen all over her body. "This is nice," she said. After a while, the three of them marched into the water, ignoring the chilly water that lapped at their bodies. The waves were negligible, so they waded out until they were up to their armpits in salty water. Rosalie floated lazily in the water, chatting about nothin
Alex offered her a supportive nod; he was there to watch her perform her first official task as the Luna, not to help her with her. She was aware that she was being stupid. She realised Alex could hear her thoughts and immediately regretted it. She also praised the stars for keeping the rest of the pack from hearing her thoughts unless she projected them. Being the Alpha's mate comes with yet another wonderful perk. If Grace was capable of doing it, and she effectively controlled everyone. It would be simple. "I'll guide them, but I won't be their master." I am not that. She pondered. She formally introduced herself as Rosalie and grinned as she said, "I shall lead and hear you. I'll be respectful to all of you, and I'm counting on you all to be as well. I'll be your support, and together, we'll hold and safeguard one another. She repeated the etymological passage that Alex had put on a piece of paper for her to remember for her official introduction. "The holy moon blesses us; the s
"She is OK; you are the one acting like an arrogant wolf!" Rosalie retorted. Sarah burst into laughter. She was 17 years old and stunning. She exuded self-assurance like any other strong, alpha female. Rosalie introduced herself to Sarah with courtesy and enthusiasm, saying, "I am happy to meet you, Sarah, and I hope you will join me for the next hunt." "It is forbidden for me to participate in the hunt until I reach the age of 18. I am 17 now. However, there is still one year left." She let out a sigh. Alex voiced his disapproval by saying, "You are already a handful, Sarah, and you are constantly up to some mischief." Rosalie couldn't contain her laughter as Sarah gave him the stink eye. "I want to congratulate you on your first kill as a Luna, a mountain lion that must have been enormous. I had no idea you were such a skilled fighter until now." Alex complimented Rosalie. The acknowledgement made her grin broadly. She grew reflective all of a sudden and turned her gaze away fr
"Just for a moment, try to picture yourself spending the rest of your life attached to just one other person. I'm referring to the constraining aspect of mate bond. Why should there be only room for one soul mate if love has no boundaries and there is always room for more?" As Melissa continued to bask in the warmth of the sun atop the rock, she remarked. Melissa was totally drenched as a result of Rosalie's action, which consisted of dipping her foot in the water and then tossing it upward. "True love is a connection of the soul. The love that exists between two people who are destined to spend their lives together is one of a kind. On that day, I'll be just like my parents and my grandparents when they were my age. I can't wait. It is necessary for him to be aware, of course, that I am a tough and determined person, and that I will not be easily pushed around by him." Rosalie replied. A momentary pause occurred in the middle of the conversation. Melissa chuckled while holding her
The hike they took was beautiful. Her muscles tingled and stretched beneath her skin. There had been so much to climb and jump on and off of. She luxuriated in the feel of the exercise; it was almost as good as running. She had been so focused on the feeling in her muscles and the hum of the world around her that she had never noticed she had stopped following Alex. The forest resonated with the melodious chirp of cicadas, the cacophonous sounds of pounding hooves, and the thunderous trickle of streams through the woods. "I'll be careful, truffle." His voice barely registered in her mind. The boulders she leapt over rubbed deeply into the arches of her feet. In front of her there was a small cliff, but she could still see the grassy knoll. "Truffle, stop." "Rosalie." She planted her feet and took off running. The arm was quick and warm against her stomach, and she landed against his chest, her breath gone. "What is your problem? I could easily make that jump." she pushed herself
