The older part of the city was buzzing with life. Wine festival had been set up in the central square and Moonlight Shine clan had allowed access to members of other clans to this territory after purchasing overpriced entry tickets of course.
The artsy clan had found out a few decades ago that the profit of opening their cultural events to other clans outweighed the risks. After a few failed attempts at security, other clans had decided to combine their efforts and each had provided twenty warriors. This balanced out the power and allowed Moonlight Shine clan hold the public events. No fighting, challenging or mating was allowed, although the last rule had been generally ignored. Izolda Mikhailova and Ada’s grandmother Rose had been pioneers of organizing such public events to bring wolves together.
Ada and Emma were walking down the center of boulevard named after great werewolf poet Paschkin. All major streets and the boulevard were closed for vehicles to allow
WARNING: Sexual Content --------------------------- The following morning Ada heard her front door and Emma’s familiar footsteps. Except they sounded different. An anxious, frantic Emma showed up in the kitchen seconds later. “I am so sorry; this is the worst time for this to happen. I don’t want to leave, but I don’t know what else to do. I am sorry, Ada... I found my mate.” She was almost crying. This was unlike Emma; she wasn’t a woman to cry. Ada brought her to a couch in the living. After holding Ada’s hands and taking a few deep breaths, Emma continued much calmer now. “I found my mate during the Wine festival after you left. Like you might have expected, she is a she…” Emma looked down and whispered, “She is wonderful.” Ada knew Emma had been with females and males so she always wondered which gender her mate would be. She was immensely happy for her friend. Not friend, her sister. Ada loved Emma probably more than any female in
WARNING: Sexual Content --------------------------- He quickly stepped away and she heard a zipper. “Get dressed!” he barked, waiting for her with as much distance between them as the room allowed. She wouldn’t look pathetic bending over even more to pick up her pants in that position. She turned around to face him still naked below the waist. Holding hatred in her eyes she slowly bent down and pulled her clothes up. Her father was right, this mate wasn’t the right one, she was better off choosing herself. “Did you sell your mate bond to get the Chemical Division of Arca Corporations?” She knew this would come up eventually, it didn’t matter how he had found out. She wasn’t interested in that, not then. “I did.” Damien studied the proud young woman in the shadows of the bedroom he had stepped into for the first time. Her eyes shone with hostility, face had the neutral mask on and chin was raised as regally as one would
“Dude, Emma’s training isn’t enough. You need a more, I guess, professional training. As much as I would like to see that asshole gone, you will die if you challenge him now,” Emil was ranting while finishing his breakfast in Ada’s kitchen.Ada loved him like her own brother and the only way to show it was to feed him. He had been enjoying breakfasts at her house before they left for work, lunches that she packed for both of them, and even some pastries she would give him during the work day. He was starting to think Ada was his grandmother’s reincarnation.“Fine, I will see what other trainings to look into, but I will continue to train with the regime she made for me. Emileack, Vedma called, she wants you to pick up a package for me today.”“Do you think it is some weird stuff to make you more buff? I don’t like it. Dude, what if you come out alive but crippled because of whatever that crazy witch giv
WARNING: Sexual Content --------------------------- Both of their beasts were magnificent. Black and gold next to each other, both large. If met together on a full moon and in a dark forest most other wolves would run away in terror or bow down in awe. On the way back Damien caught a movement behind a large bush right outside of Ada’s house, but no smell gave it away. It was late when they were back and cleaned off from running. Gently taking her wrist Damien pulled in the direction of her bedroom. She was curious, he was eager for more. She knew there was more to sex than what she had experienced. She wanted to feel the pleasure, the desire. Not only had she given him her word, but she wanted at least that connection with the man that was supposed to be her mate. Without any caresses he undressed her and himself and got them on the bed. “Lie on your stomach,” came a low-voiced request. He straddled her with his knees on the si
Ada was climbing the stairs of her grandparents’ summer house. It seemed like they had been spending more time there than at home. Her grandmother had messaged her a traditional accusatory message of Ada abandoning them even though she had visited recently. The most interesting part was that ancient woman could use text messaging. On the large balcony, Tata was preparing little cups of Armenian coffee while grandfather was off to talk to the neighbor. “They are gossiping again.” Tata rolled her eyes. “Men gossip more than women and I believe they made up that myth about gossiping women to divert attention. Remember these things I say while I am alive.” Ada internally rolled her eyes and kissed her grandmother. She wondered why she had been summoned. Tata never did anything without a reason. They sat down to enjoy Mikado layered cake and some coffee. “You father is back; you should come over for dinner tomorrow,” Tata informed. Ah, here it was, the rea
Knowing her father would be home for a few days at least, Ada decided to drop by after work. She knew her grandparents would be at the summer house as it was apple harvest season and her grandfather would be damned if he allowed those kids to get any of his apples. She entered the house to strange tranquility. There was no technology sounds or people activity. Shoes, earrings and the watch had to come off immediately in case there was a need to shift. Silently moving deeper into the house, she heard her father’s booming voice. He sounded irritated; he was reprimanding someone. She was too familiar with that tone. She tried not to run. Following the direction of his voice brought her to Arthur’s room. The door was slightly open, Arthur was sitting on his bed as Andre yelled incoherent words and slapped him across the face. Her brother looked like this was far from the first hit. Ada walked in slowly not to alarm her father. He smelled like alcohol agai
WARNING: Sexual Content --------------------------- “Why are you in a shitty mood? Didn’t get laid yesterday?” Arsen could swear he could tell which nights Damien saw Ada and which nights he didn’t. After learning from his friend about the Princess planning to challenge her father and recruiting Damien as her temporary trainer, Arsen had thought it was a suicide and that even if she won the clan wouldn’t support her. “Have Ara and Karineh track Andre King. He was in the city for a few days. I want to know when he leaves, where, and most importantly when he comes back,” Damien talked frowning. Ara was their best wolf tracker and Karineh was a stereotypical self-taught tech girl who could get into camera and even satellite records and live streams. Hacking an account for G****e Maps history was a useful trick too. “So, throwing our best people into protecting your princess?” Arsen asked a little too cheerfully. “Do you think we s
WARNING: Sexual Content --------------------------- The following week was spent by only working and training. Damien had come over for a training three times. They alternated training in human and wolf forms. Once he got the chance to see her wolf in daylight and up close, he was even more surprised by her appearance and strength. They only trained. Not a single time had he made an attempt to touch her intimately and she was grateful because her trainings were more like battles. The only time they had trained in wolf form her fur had been drenched in blood. It had taken her some time to wash it all off. He had simply gone into the woods without saying a word. That day Ada was running in the clearing waiting for him for yet another training. It was going to be the second training in wolf form and she was looking forward to it. Ada smiled inside remembering how Damien’s wolf had nudged her side with his head last time before training. Despite looking l
