Still Alpha King's POVWhen I'm back in bed, I immediately fall into a dreamless sleep. The following day I wake up rested and remember that today Erina is making her catwalk debut. A smile spreads over my face when I think of the little one. She's already wrapped the whole pack around her little finger, everyone adores her. The pups follow all her instructions obediently, without questioning her decisions. Erina has built up a decent foundation of trust in a short period.With my hands behind my head, I lean against the bed board and think back to last night. It seems like Alcina is stepping up on her game, I have to be extra vigilant now. Last night she used a spell to project us intimately in bed in my mind. As a little boy, my mother's friend often showed me that trick to tease me. It's actually an easy stunt of witches. This trick is followed up by a potion that is often put in dark-colored drinks like red wine. The spell and potion make sure the target will show attention to th
“Alpha Remus”, I greet my colleague on the phone. “Are we now deviating from usual procedures? I have a list here of twenty of your pack members who just this morning asked for permission to attend a fashion show in my pack. No problem of course, but we used to do this differently," I remind him."Twenty?" my friend sounds surprised. “I understand from my Beta that there are five of us traveling. And everyone in my cologne is under my authority and we have agreed that no permission is needed. My wife and I, my son and his mate and my Beta. No one else. You're telling me something I know nothing about, Alpha King. Please, take a picture of the list of names of the twenty and send it to me via WhatsApp. I'm investigating this to the bottom." It is clear from his voice that heads will roll, Alpha Remus is not known as someone who tolerates malpractice. "I'll send you a message from those who do get permission and that's final".I call the two Alphas and they are also surpr
Midnight Moon is buzzing, never before has my pack seen so many visitors. When I look over my balcony, I see a crowd, every one beautiful in formal dress with hats. It looks like a royal gathering where everyone comes out at their best. Mrs. Lackson has really made it an elite event, the haute couture and expensive vehicles are the show-offs that go with such events. It is no different in Human Town when prestigious designers display their collections. The prices of the tickets do not lie, a wolf with a regular job couldn't afford to get in. My heart is heavy, I dread the conversation with Alpha Remus. But I can't avoid it, I have to clarify this matter. And if I manage to convince Alpha Remus, this whole matter is actually settled. The man has an overwhelming effect on the packs, except for me everyone believes what he says. I need his help now because my pack is involved in this scandal and a malevolent would soon claim that I am trying to talk my pack out of this. I turn and wal
Proudly I get out of the vehicle and help Drina get out.Our faces are at the same height, smitten we look each other in the eyes, our thoughts are one. This is us when we are fully mated and marked, the Alpha King and Queen arriving at a special event in our pack. And in a few years with a pup on each hand.I take a deep breath to return to the present and resist the urge to kiss her long and deeply. Naughty as Drina is she comes with her face intimately closer to mine, our lips almost touching. At the entrance, dozens of people are watching us, I'm sure this act of my mate has not escaped anyone's attention. Of course not, I can hear them holding their breath en masse as I drape Drina's hand into my elbow with a grin.Elegant as the Queen she is, she walks beside me to the entrance of the hall, her head held high. Her aura screams possessiveness and power, the hallmarks of a Luna Queen. A mix of satisfaction and sadness fills me now, if only we could present ourselves as mates to th
When Erina stands in front of us with her hand coquettish at her side, I give her a standing ovation.Drina immediately stands up too and the rest of the Alphas reluctantly follow my example. On my other side, I see Jace staring at her, full of adoration. Erina smiles blindingly from all the attention she gets and walks back. She appears a few more times, much to the delight of those present. She is clearly a natural entertainer.Several hours later, a radiant Mrs. Lackson mingles with the guests.The orders are in, this event has also turned out to be a financial blockbuster. Her assistants collect the cards with the orders written on them. From the explanation of Mrs. Lackson, I understand that her store will contact the new clients to take measurements and other logistics.At the end of the evening, all models show up on stage.Erina walks in the front, she is the celebrity of the evening. When she stands before us again and gratefully accepts all the appreciation, s
We are sitting at the table in the conference room in the packhouse.Drina sits next to me on the Luna chair, much to the surprise of everyone in the room except Jace. He's grinning like a little boy who just stole from the candy jar. He knows Drina is my fated even though I didn't answer his question a few weeks ago.To my right are the high rankings in hierarchical order.Alpha Remus is right before me, followed by Jace and Cleo, my Head Warrior. Given the issue to be discussed, I also invited an Elder from my pack to join. Elder Antonius looks around with interest, this is the second time he notices Drina in the Luna seat. I'm sure I won't be able to avoid his questions after this meeting.I deliberately kept Clark out of this meeting.My suspicion is with my Gamma and his girlfriend. Clark is now concerned with Remus' family.I look around, everyone stares at me expectantly.“Jace, the issue of why we are here concerns your relationship with Erina. You noticed a lot of last-minute
After Drina's words, there is silence in the conference room.Thoughts go in all directions, although my subconscious had already registered the signals, my brain refused to think rationally. But everything in me is convinced that the two are telling the truth.Alpha Remus now faces Elder Antonius.“Elder, you are wiser in this than me when it comes to life experience,” he states. “Ever heard of a mate bond between a five-year-old and a twenty-plus?” he asks the older man. But judging by his attitude, he is skeptical about this matter.“Well, there are a few cases where this has happened in the past,” the Elder begins. “But there was a reason why the Moon Goddess paired them up early. The mating has a purpose”. He looks at Drina and me. “The fact that the girl is related to the woman next to the Alpha King and these two are not disclosing their mating says a lot. Something is coming up, something great is about to happen. I just don't know if it's positive or destructive. But Midnight
Beta Jace's POVWith Erina by my hand, I walk in the direction of the sports center.I have to say it's quite a relief to be able to come clean to Enrick and now the Council too. Avoiding Erina was eating at me, my mate is still young but demands my attention as the sole claimant. She wraps her life around me, she tells me everything straight away like an open book. She's a brilliant girl, somehow she makes sure we don't get bogged down in a father-daughter relationship. For a five-year-old, that's surely remarkable.But I don't really know much about her.For me, her life begins the day she ends up here in the pack. But I know there is more. When hinted at her life before that, she kept her jaws tight. She never speaks up. All I know is she's part of triplets, but I doubt I'll ever see her other two sisters. And yes, she also mentioned that her mother had just given birth to twins. That statement made me doubt now if Drina is really her mother, as I suspect.No, I've n
