ALARIC
“What? Aren’t you way too early? It’s just 6 p.m.” Viviana almost yelled from the other side of the phone. Her sharp voice pierced my ears and drummed my brain. I acted out of reflex and kept the cell phone a bit away from my ears. I was afraid of my eardrums. They could explode.
“I told you that I will pick you up. Didn’t you get my text, Viviana?” I cross-questioned her. The only difference was, I didn’t yell. She didn’t say anything. She was calculating something. The other second, she hummed. Then I heard the faint sounds of some things being stuffed into a bag or box. I guessed her arrival in two minutes.
I disconnected the line and was about to exit the car. I wanted to open the car door for my lady. Wait, did I just address her My Lady! Oh, well she was. But Viviana was already inside the car buckling the seat belt. I looked at her with love. She found my stares. She tilted her head in my direct
ALARICIt’s been ten days since Viviana moved in with me. She was eager to stay in the guest room. But how could I let her? She was mine. My mate. She should stay with me, in my bedroom. So, we ended up together. The days were good. We were busy with our work. The nights were rough and steamy. Intimacy in the earlier days of a relationship is such bliss.Today, Emma was coming back with her mate Watson. Viviana was excited to an extent that she had prepared to leave early. Also, she was shifting back to her apartment. I must admit, I was going to miss her way more. She woke me up with a little peck. It was the routine now. Sometimes, morning sex helped too.“Alaric, get up. We will be late. I need to move back before Emma arrives. I need to clean the apartment and prepare for her welcome.” Viviana urged me. She kept shaking my body. I groaned in sleep. I wanted to hold her tightly and bury myself in her, but I knew she would be mad. I stood up
ALARICAs I was approaching the direction, the scent kept on getting stronger until my gaze halted over three men. They were dressed neatly. They were humans and drunk too. The haggard looks over their faces were enough for me to understand that they were rogues. But why in our territory! Why in The Samara Plateau? And how?This land belonged to all the werewolves. It was an area of our ancestors. So, the place was chosen for Mate-ball and other important ceremonies when there was a need to gather all wolves. Up until today, no human had ever stepped in here. How could they!Instead of letting my mind answer these questions, I had a better idea. I kept my pace as such and I moved towards them only to get surprised by what I saw next.A girl!She wasn’t a human. Her scent confirmed that she was a werewolf, but I couldn’t decipher her pack. She looked like a newbie. Maybe she just shifted a while ago. I concluded this from her messy look
ALARIC“Which pack?” I questioned the girl cleaning her wounds over her knees. She had been severely wounded, not to mention the blood oozing out from some of the cuts. She looked weak. No, she was weak. A weak girl; more human than a wolf.She didn’t respond. Silent treatment. Fine. I looked at her with narrowed eyes to make her spill out those answers I wanted from her, only to be rewarded by her scared eyes. Her eyelashes fluttered. She thought I was going to kill her. I composed myself and calmed my eyes, shrugged away the narrowed look.She seemed to be relaxed. James had been watching all this from afar. His dishelved state had been taken care of. Unlike Noah, he didn’t smell of sex- a good thing for him, and for this little wolf. (The girl).“I don’t repeat myself, little girl.” I said.‘Be gentle with her. She is scared.’ My mind warned me, but I let it slip away. She hesitated a bit.
ALARIC“Do you want me to carry you inside?” I asked Gianna. She appeared to be a bit relaxed by now and was looking at me with doey eyes. Why did this girl have to look at me like this! I couldn’t contain other questions. I questioned with a raised eyebrow.“Do I look that handsome that you are eyeing your brother now, little pup?” She flared her nose; another expression. Her eyes wiggled in a human way, and she replied fidgeting with her little baby fingers.“I still can’t believe that you are a wolf, and an Alpha.”“A werewolf, to be more precise.” I said correcting her and stepped out of the car. She had been devouring the luxurious vehicle on our way back, her eyes adamant on not leaving its interior for even a bit. I opened the other door and held her hand. I carried her in my arms securely like she was my own child.The idea of having children sent me into another thinking round of
GIANNAIt’s been a month. I have not yet settled myself in this pack with all the werewolves around me, but everyone in the Windsor family was lending a helping hand. They are so good to be something animalistic. They are far better than humans.Brother Alaric had saved me that day from those rogues, helped me get over with my shifting, and was still helping me in every possible way he could. He wasn’t a talkative person, at least from what I had observed him these days. Maybe being an Alpha comes with a pile of responsibilities.Brother Ashton is a funny one. He never misses a chance to tease me and we both end up bickering each other, but then brother Alaric intervenes and glares him. He is always by my side; as if I am his little girl. Although Alpha and Luna had warmly accepted me as their daughter, but I am yet not comfortable addressing them as father and mother. So, I had switched to calling them as Alpha dad and Luna mom. They find these name
GIANNA“So, what exactly do you wish to know about the Moon Goddess?” Brother Alaric questioned stroking my hair. I loved it. His moving fingers in my scalp always relaxed me and made me feel at home. I was home. I am home. He and this family are my home. I never knew my surname, never knew my birth parents, but brother Alaric registered my name as Gianna Windsor in my school admission form. The Happiness and contentment I experienced that day was something words would fail to explain.“Everything,” I replied confirming. I was new to all this wolf stuff. To gain more knowledge, I needed to learn more. Who could be a better teacher than Brothers and parents! I shrugged my thoughts and focused shutting my eyes to bathe in the heavenly feeling Luna mother's lap and Brother Alaric's moving fingers provided me with.“It started with the Lord Deity,” said Alpha dad, not looking into the book. I loved the way he always starts the sto
ALARICThe days have been passing in the snap of fingers. It’s been two months since I am home. It’s been two months since I last saw Viviana. It’s been two fucking months since I kissed her, hugged her, touched her, loved her, adored her. I missed her. Way too badly.We used to communicate occasionally. But the physical touch was soothing as compared to the long-distance phone calls. Also, Viviana was almost 100miles away from me. We couldn’t even mind-link. I was frustrated most of the time.The duties of Alpha, the works of Pack kept me occupied every day. I had Gianna to take care of too. Family time was best. But I yearned for Viviana. I yearned for her warmth. I decided to visit her this weekend. I was going insane without her.Today was the Werewolf counsel meeting. The members of the counsel were nagging for this meeting since the day Gianna arrived. I kept my calm. I was the Alpha, yet father ruled that head of the counsel
VIVIANA“Viv, I think you should call him. Maybe he is busy with his family. It’s not like you don’t have his contact number, right?” Emma elbowed me. I was sitting over my chair, peeking into my cell phone times and again. I hoped for Alaric to call me. It’s been almost five days since we got in touch. Five fucking days.“Why the hell didn’t he call me?” I cursed under my breath. My promotion came with a pile of new cases and responsibilities. Alaric was busy with his pack duties, and I…with my precinct duties. I was in my thoughts when I saw Emma’s figure running towards my desk. Her eyes were glittering. She seemed happy.She stopped right over my desk and banged her palms over my table. The pens kept scattered over the desk popped up a bit due to the sudden force. I darted my eyes at Emma’s scooting persona.“What?” I asked with a raised eyebrow. I hoped for Emma to n
