~Alana~ It had been a while since Alana recognized her discomfort. Her body was changing and she could not deny it. She was aching all over, sensing her body expanding in each second that passed. Her nails were elongating, and she had been growling like the wolf that she was. Some changes were obvious to her, but she was unaware of what other transformations were happening to her.  Not long before, she ultimately found her son. He was being carried by the mouth of a wolf whom she did not recognize, but she could only assume it was Greyson. The wolf had dark brown fur with gray streaks on his back. She saw how Alric was not too far, being circled by two wolves, undoubtedly ready to fight.  She did not have enough time to assess the situation further, for the next thing she saw was how the said wolf tossed her son to the ground like he was nothing but garbage. Fury quickly overcame her, and she sensed her blood shooting up in her head. She ran as fast

~Alana~ The second they entered Alric’s room, the couple frantically took off their clothes, their lips frequently crashed together.  There was no denying it, they were on fire! “Fuck,” Alric hissed, while his hands kneaded on Alana’s breasts. His amber eyes glowed to a near gold as he lowered his nose to the slope of her shoulders. He took a deep whiff and claimed, “I am going to bite you - mark you for sure! You are mine. Fuck, you are so mine.” Alana chuckled. Her eyes looked down at his large hands that massaged her breast. She said, “Yes, get over it already. I’m all yours and you!” Her finger traced the curve of his muscles and claimed, “You are mine!” She did not know where her boldness was coming from, but she did not care. He was hers, and she was sure of it now. No more doubts. And because of that, she will, from now on, whole-heartedly enjoy what belonged to her, Alric being at the top of her list. “What the!” Alric cou

~Lana~ “Speak to me.” After a gentle kiss on her face, Lana’s watery eyes opened at the sight of Alric. “Please tell me what’s going on.” After Lana’s memories came rushing back, she jerked awake, crying and screaming at the top of her lungs. She hasn’t spoken since, even after changing into her clothes.  It worried Alric how she had not uttered a word that he sought for Valencia. Lana was brought to Alric’s study with Elenor and Valencia, observing her state.  “Alana, here. I made a soothing tea for you. It will help you relax. I can feel your heart jumping erratically,” suggested Valencia, as she handed Lana the cup of tea.  She silently accepted the tea and slowly finished it all down.  Alric was now sitting beside her, his arms protectively circling around her frame. He said, “Alana, please. Please speak to me.” “Lana," she faintly corrected.  “What?” He asked while his brows met.

~Author’s Narration~ Under the full moon, the mating ceremony was set on the biggest plains in the port of Valmore. Tents were planted to accommodate the guests and rows of seats, set on different levels, were temporarily made for everyone to settle down.  At the front most, several Alphas of the neighboring packs came to witness the wedding of Alric and Lana.  A long red carpet was laid down in the centermost part of the field. It created a long aisle where Lana would make her bridal walk.  All guests were now in their designated seats while Lana lingered behind drapes of white curtains. She was wearing a nude illusion gown, where its sleeves, down to her chest, were embroidered with white gems.  From afar, it looked as though the gleaming gems were glued to her skin. The same pattern faded out towards her chest, under her arms, and as it flowed down her princess-cut gown.  With the dress’ design, Lana’s mark

~Lana~ In a graveled path within the pine forest, Reeth’s grey and black wolf thrust rocks with his pause in Drake’s way. Only then did he lunge at him and attempted to bite on his neck. Drake’s fawn-coated wolf rolled over with Reeth’s, both clawing while pursuing to take a bite.  In the end, with how he was using the surrounding resources, Reeth managed to put Drake down with both his paws, his canines ready to snap. It was then that they shifted into their human.  “While our kind is fast, we are also fighting against werewolves who hold almost the same speed and agility,” Reeth explained to Lana during their training session. “Thus, in our territory, mastery of the environment is key. We use it to our advantage.” Since Reeth knew the conditions at the Hidden Mist Valley Pack the most, Elenor suggested that he give insight to Lana and the Gammas, at least for a day or two. Lana’s aunt Lucille also came to add her own insights.
