“What?!” The mustache man shouted, baffled, “are you seriously telling us to get out of the pack because of some omegas?!” Alessio’s stare at him was stern and unyielding. “Tomorrow is going to be a new year for all the people who live in this pack. A new life. Those who accept it peacefully are welcome to stay. Those who have an objection can get banished and find a place for their families somewhere else.” He turned his head to Daniel, “Let’s end the party here. I will leave it to you from here on.” *** “All sorted?” Alessio asked Daniel as we stood next to a tree lit with several lights. “Yes. thirty families have decided to leave the pack. They have requested banishment.” Daniel replied. “It is alright. Take care of their families. Make sure they are safely placed to wherever they prefer to live.” Alessio put his drink down on the table and took my hand in his own. “I am pretty sure we don’t have to worry about that.” Daniel raised his brows in a question. “It is their per
“N- nothing.” I stammered in front of Alessio with a nervous laugh, “watching the training?” When the hell did he slip out of that circle and come to us?! “Training has not even started yet, Mia.” he glared down at me. Without removing his searing gaze from my face, he said out loud, “Training over for today, boys.” The warriors were startled at first but then grinned and started to go back. Daniel came over to us, his hands on his waist, “What happened?” “Alpha is jealous because Mia is staring at naked beauties.” Lara giggled. “Will you shut up?!” I shot her a glare. “Pretty sure it is you who is filling her mind with dirty things.” Daniel commented with a smirk, “can’t keep it in your pants, can you?” I bit my lip and moved my eyes away. Daniel thinks I am very innocent. I wanted to laugh out loud but controlled myself. But Lara on the other hand, shot up and gritted, “What does it even have to do with you? You are definitely not the one we were looking at, monkey face.” “S
I was surprised to hear Alessio’s words. It had not even occurred to me that he would hold a mating ceremony as not many werewolves did it. Mostly once the couple mated, they are considered together. There are rarely official ceremonies hosted. “Mating ceremony?” I had never even seen any mating ceremony in the past, so I was not sure what was done in those or how the ritual was carried out. “Yes, a small ritual with our close people. You, me, and whoever we want to bring in. Is there any place that holds a special place in your heart? Should we hold the ceremony there?” he asked gently. “I have never been out of our pack. So I don’t really have any special place.” I muttered awkwardly. Alessio appeared unphased by my answer, and rather more excited, “Okay. Then I will make sure to find a place that we can make our special place.” *** “Mia?” a hand caressed my face, bringing me out of slumber, “we are here.” I opened my eyes. We had left the pack house around six am. My gaze
Wearing the pajamas that Lara had thrown in my face, I climbed down the stairs to go outside. The grass field was filled with light fog. A fire was lit in the middle while everyone stood surrounding it. There were large, fluffy cushions on the ground in a circle around the fire. A smile quirked up on my lips when I saw Alessio dressed in matching Pajamas. Same color and design as mine. Daniel was wearing a black one with cute little flowers on them. Diana and Nia wore baby pink and navy blue pajamas with squirrel and panda designs. Everyone was looking so adorable that it made my heart ache with happiness. “Oh, she is here!” Lara shouted. "Where is Gloria?" I asked."She went to bed early. She was tired from the long ride." Daniel replied.“Are we having a campfire night?” I grinned, walking to them. The fog was still surrounding us. The atmosphere felt magical. Lara jumped toward me and grabbed my arm in hers, “Nope. We are having a Karaoke night! Daniel and I thought we needed to
Lara started to run after him to hit him, but Daniel was much faster as they both made a dash behind us, running fast in circles around the fire as Lara tried to catch him to murder him. When Lara ran out of her breath, she shot him a murderous glare, “Your turn, asshat. I will see what kind of Shawn Mendes voice you have. It is your turn to get humiliated.” Daniel threw the mic in our direction, making Alessio catch it instinctively as he grinned, “Neh! I am not singing. When I recited the rules, I was talking about YOU guys. I will be the judge.” He said in a completely normal, proud way. “The hell you will.” Alessio threw the mic back at him, and leaned back on the couch, “Do, Ray, Me, Fa, So, motherfucker.” (PS: ‘Do, Ray, Me, Fa, So, La Tee, Do’ are musical notes lol) Daniel groaned out loud while Lara’s smile stretched out so big that she would have beaten the Cheshire cat in looking creepy. Lara skipped back to her seat and flopped down. Grabbing a bunch of money out of her
Alessio’s hand dropped from my waist as he bent down and picked up the remote, and shut off the music. My hands remained on his waist as I looked into his eyes with concern. “I am listening.” he responded to Max, “explain.” “Jeremy, Kody, William, Nate, and Sam were on pack guard duty for the past seven days. They were supposed to switch shifts yesterday night with other guards. They were in constant contact with the team until one hour ago before the shift change so everything was normal until eleven pm.” Max’s voice was laced with stress as he tried to talk fast, “but when at twelve am the replacement team reached the east border, they found out that none of them were there. They waited and looked around for an hour but when no sign was there, they called the pack house to confirm if they had returned without reporting and that is when we realized that something was fishy. No one knows what happened in that one hour. There is no struggle or fight signs or trace of scent or drugs.”
“Take care of yourselves. And enjoy today without worrying about anything at all, okay?” Gloria smiled, and patted kissed me on the cheek before getting inside the car. Everyone had already settled in. Daniel started the car engine, and drove away when Gloria was seated. Lara stuck her head out of the window, her hand waving wildly in the air as she bid good bye to us. When the car got engulfed by the fog and could not be seen, Alessio and I turned around to head back inside the house. But as we were walking, I grabbed Alessio's hand and pulled him in opposite direction. Without a word he followed me until we reached the hill top overlooking the vast forest. There was fog, the weather was starting to get gloomy, and mist was in the air. We were silently admiring the view, hand in hand and our minds trying to get back the peace we had lost. Suddenly water drops started to fall from the sky. At first slow, but then the drops started to fall faster and faster. Alessio gripped my hand
I could hear his quickened heartbeat even though his face remained emotionless. I took one step back to stand in front him. Then I bent forward slightly, grabbed the hem of my dress, and in one swift move, it was off my body. I stood in front of him in nothing but my underwear and watched as his dark eyes changed color to a bright blue. I smiled as the look on his face changed from indifferent to a heated one. His fists clenched tight by his side as his gaze roamed over my form. “I am too wet right now. Let me just go a take a cold shower.” I said, walking past him to get to the stairs. I climbed down the stairs, feelings his eyes on me the whole time. I was nervous but also excited because I could see that he was affected by me so much. “You know what you are doing to me right now is the biggest sin ever done to an innocent man like me, don’t you?” Alessio’s loud voice came from behind. I turned around, holding the railing. He was standing at the end of the stairs, his eyes o
