As the night deepened, the celebration took on a life of its own. The wolves joined hands, encircling a central bonfire, its flames casting a warm glow upon us all. Erdem offered me his hand and I gladly took it as we danced around the mighty fire. The wolves with their other halves joined in, swaying to the melody. We moved to the music, our bodies swaying in unison, a collective expression of gratitude and reverence for the cycle of life. I could look away from his majestic blues as they were fixated on me, a gentle smile adorned his beautiful face as he led us through the dance. In the middle of the dance, Ezio ran to us, freeing himself from his uncle, Anxo’s arms. Erdem bent down picking him up and with Ezio between us, he continued to lead us through the dance. The biggest smile adorned Ezio’s glowing face and the melodious sound of Erdem’s laughter filled the air. In the arm of my males, I was overwhelmed with gratitude and my heart was filled to the brim with love.After the d
The manor, a testament to human artistry and nature's beauty, stood proudly nestled within the lush forest. Its exterior exuded an aura of stately charm, seamlessly blending with the landscape. The foundation and lower levels showcased sturdy, weathered stones, grounding the manor with enduring strength. As the eye travelled upward, the warm hues of polished wood adorned the upper levels, infusing a touch of refinement and luxury into its grand façade. The moonlight gracefully danced upon the textured surfaces, casting a mesmerizing glow that highlighted the intricate craftsmanship.Tall and proud, the windows punctuated the manor's exterior like watchful sentinels, their panes revealing glimpses of the warm light emanating from within. Delicate lace curtains, stirred by the night breeze, whispered secrets and enticed us to venture closer, promising mysteries to be uncovered within those hallowed halls.Surrounded by a carpet of emerald foliage, the manor seamlessly merged with its na
"Please do not cry. It kills me to see you in pain and sobbing like this." Delila murmurs in a quiet and caring tone, attempting to console me, but the pain I was feeling only grows."Why does this have to happen to me all the time, Delila? What had I done to offend the Goddess?" I sob, and her hand softly grazes up and down my back, attempting to soothe the pain."Life may be brutal at times. But, in order to achieve the bliss that awaits, you must first overcome the grief. At least, that's what I believe." Delila shakes her head and glances down at me."Do you want to know what else I believe?" She asks and even though I shake my head, I kind of know what she will say. "Well, my dear friend. I believe that you should accompany me tonight.""I'm not going to this ridiculous party.""It would be a lot of fun, believe me. We can dress up, drink some liquor, and dance with some handsome attractive men. Wolves are coming from all over the packs and perhaps we could find our males." Delil
"Come on, don't give up now!" My father shouts as my juvenile brother on the ground grunt in agony and glare at father."I'm not going down without a fight, Father!" He groans and rises to his feet, and father's face lit up with a proud grin."That's the spirit!" Father shouts, and before he could prepare for the attack, the juvenile charges at him and grabs his neck. His leg comes up in an attempt to kick father in the belly, but father intercepts his knee, grabs him by the torso, and flings him to the ground with a swift flip. Father turns around and stares down at him on the ground."You have to be quicker than that if you want to leave a scratch on your enemy." As he took a few steps closer to him, Father remarks."Beta Hanniel!" Father turns around when a warrior yells his name and bows his head. "Alpha Lain has asked for your presence." Father nods his head and without a word, leaves with the warrior.I smile as Demir rises to his feet and walks up to me, with a forlorn expressi
"But I, too, want to have a lot of fun with my friends!" I encouragingly smile again as he said with a mournful voice."Demir, do you want to be the next Beta? Do you wish to take over father's title?""Yes, of course, I do!""To attain our objective and get what we desire, we must work hard and forego some of life's joys, such as not going out with our friends. But things improve, and brighter days await you, where you may have a lot more fun than this.""Are you certain?""Yes, I am! I'm confident that when you're older, you'll be a fantastic Beta and have a lot of fun. You will get your wolf, find your female and have a lot of children!" I exclaim; his cheeks flush slightly. I could not help but laugh as he looks down."Is that a blush on your cheek?" Demir shook his head as I poke his slightly chubby cheek from the side."No! I'm not blushing at all!" I giggle as Demir exclaim."You're so adorable!" I coo,"I am kind of adorable." Demir wonders and laughter booms through my chest.
With the flowers that were like dancing rainbows, I rush to the packhouse with a gentle smile on my lips. As the gentle summer breeze flows through my hair, my wild brown hair dance with the wave of breeze.My feet bounce with excitement against the soil as I stroll across the yard of my home and reach the packhouse. A slight scowl forms on my brows as I notice wolves run to the packhouse with huge grins and excitement. I, too, move towards the packhouse's door, protecting the blossoms from being crushed by the crowd. As I ascend up the foyer, the wolves shift slightly to make way for me. I drew a deep intake of breath and my eyes widen as the final row of the crowd scurry aside, revealing the wolf they were so enthusiastic about. My lips slightly open as he whirls around on his heel to face me. In front of me stands a fully grown Alpha male in place of the lean juvenile I knew, long gone the childhood friend of mine. His lean muscles are now toned, his shoulders are flared up and he
Ciro steps in and his gaze wander over my room as I stand by the door. My room was not as large as his, but it was cosy, with off-white walls and a queen-size bed draped in a hand-woven blanket identical to the one I had left for him in his room. The little windows on both sides of my room are open, and the light white curtains are swaying in the summer breeze. I attempted to neatly organise my room, and one thing that I feel would catch anyone's attention the most is the flower arrangements and green plants that I have put around the space to make my room look like somewhat a miniature version of my garden. I watch as his fingertips run over the delicate petal of a wildflower, and a grin blossoms on his lips. I was correct, the flower arrangement did catch his attention. Abruptly he turns around to face me, and I instantly glance away trying to not meet his gaze directly.“I have heard that you have decorated my room by yourself?” His voice is delicate and soft as he asks and I only
Ciro's gorgeous face flashes a small satisfied smile as his hand yanks open the passenger side door of his car. He offers his hand and a pale hand of a petit female grasps lightly onto his. Her lengthy legs are the first to exit the car and land on the soft earth, followed by the rest of her body. My breath caught in my throat as I took in the female. Her vulcanite-black hair cascades over her shoulders. She has a slender body with a shapely figure. Her waist is wasp-waisted, and her complexion is a gleaming pale. A pair of rapture-blue eyes sits beneath her slender brows. Through her velvety eyelashes, she gazes up at Ciro tentatively. Ciro's eyes gleamed with love and at that moment I knew. I knew my reality and my wretched fate.Ciro with the female by his side turns around towards the foyer of the packhouse. Luna Croía and Alpha Lain smile as they step out of the packhouse to greet Ciro. The immediate expression of surprise on their faces, however, reveals to me that none of them
