Eira’s POV
“A proposal? What proposal?” I asked curiously because I didn't know what kind of help I could possibly offer to the Grand Beta of the whole werewolf Packs.“Yes, a proposal.”“Oh, okay. What proposal?” I asked again.“Come with me to treat the Alpha King. ” He blurted out.“Uhn?” I replied, blinking as if I didn't hear him.“I said come with me to treat the Alpha King.” He expressed again now in a precise and straightforward voice.“Treat the Alpha king? Is the Alpha King sick?” I asked, unable to believe my ears.How could the Alpha King get sick some days after he met his mate?Is it a contagious sickness?“Yes, he is ill but now everyone knows about it,” I heard Amoux slowly replied.“Then, why are you telling me?”“Because you will be treating him,” I heard Amoux's instant reply.“When did I agree to that?” I replied with a frown because there was no way I'm leaving my sick father to treat some Alpha King and I can't be forced!“Snow! You are back!”I heard my mother's voice coming from our little gate immediately after my statement.“Ma!”I quickly left the Beta and went to relieve my mother of the stuff she brought from the market then hugged her tightly.Apart from me, my mother is the only person that understands medicine in this house. It wasn't her natural talent, just a hobby, but she was still better than Carla, who doesn't even know the names of the most common herb.“Sweetheart, when did you get back?”“Not quite long, Ma, how are you?”“I'm good, just stressed.“I missed you, Ma,” I said to my mother, completely forgetting that the Grand Beta was still there.“I’ve missed you, sweetie,”“Ma, why did you go to the market yourself, you could have sent Carla, ” I rebuked when I saw how stressed she looked.“It wasn't as if Carla doesn't wanna go but you know she can't recognize the herbs, ” My mother let out after rubbing the beads of sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand.I know that she was just covering for my younger sister because Carla would never volunteer to go, but at the same time, I also know that Carla really doesn't recognize herbs at all. “..and I didn't know when you will be back, that's why I went to get herbs, ”“Oh, Eira. Have you met the Beta yet? He came the day after you left for the mountains.” My mother asked immediately after she noticed Amoux's huge body frame a few steps away.“Yes, I met him when I got back,”“Oh, then I will go and boil the herbs and leave you too to discuss.”“Ma, No.. Don't stress yourself. I think you should go and rest. When I'm done with the Grand Beta, I will boil the herbs, ”“Okay, if you say so. Where's Carla and your Papa?”“Carla is in her room and Papa is still napping,” I answered.My mother then nodded at the Grand Beta and walked towards my father's room.“Mr Beta ..”“No, you can call me just call Amoux, ”“Oh, good. Amoux. As you can see, my father is sick and bedridden. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to go with you to treat the Alpha King because I can't leave my father in this state.”I quickly mumbled out to the Grand Beta so he wouldn't have false hope.“I can wait for two days, what did you think?”“Just two days?”“Is it not enough?”“Of course, it's not enough, I won't leave this house until my father is back on his feet, ” I said to Amoux with a straight face.“A week then, you have a week to go back with me.” Amoux finally compromised after a few minutes.I can still do a week, I'm confident in my talent.I know that it might not even take up to a week but I won't leave this house until my father is healthy.“Okay, ” I mumbled and asked to be excused so I could start preparing my father’s medicine.It's been two days since I arrived from the mountains and I could see a visible change in my father’s declining health as I have been feeding him the medicine consistently.Now, he was able to eat little fruits unlike before when he couldn't even drink water because he lost his appetite and would vomit if forced.“Papa, how are you feeling now? Do you have any complaints?” I asked my father after he finished eating the apple I sliced for him.“I feel a lot better. No, I don’t have any complaints.” He replied in a low voice.“Open your eyes a bit wider, Papa,” I said as I moved closer to him.When he opened his eyes, I saw that the greenish color in his eyes was slowly fading.I immediately heaved a deep breath.Thank the Moon goddess. He's finally okay“Oka, Papa, you can close your eyes now, but I'd love you to take this liquid medicine again,” I said and brought the bowl and placed it in his hands.“Okay, sweetie,”I watched as my father gulped the bitter liquid till there was nothing left in the little boil.I smiled broadly at how cooperative he was.If only my other patients could be as cooperative as him, it would have saved me lots of stress.“Papa, the medicine will make you feel dizzy, so when it does, just sleep okay,” I said to my father who was already yawning.I couldn't help but smile again as I tucked him in and covered his body with the blankets.When I saw that he was already sleeping, I left his room and shut the door gently behind me.Since my father is getting better, I should see Amoux and talk to him about his proposal.So, I can know what exactly is wrong with the Alpha King.I went outside to look for Amoux but I couldn't see any sign of him.In the last two days, I've always seen him hanging around with Carla, but I just can't find him right now.“Carla?”“Amoux?”I called out but it was only Carla’s voice I heard a reply from.“What is it, Eira, why are you screaming my name?” I heard Carla reply as she came out of the backyard, I could see the obvious frown on her face.“Where’s Amoux?” I asked her, ignoring her rude expression.“Did you put him in my care? Why are you asking about the whereabouts of a full-grown man?” Carla snapped at me.Guess, today is one of the bad days.“I'm only asking because I've been seeing you both together. Just tell me where he is, Carla. I've got something to discuss with him.” I replied as directly as I could because I'm not in the mood for any controversy.“I don’t know where he is, ” Carla replied and went back inside without waiting for a reply from me.I stared at her retreating back and frowned slightly.What the hell is wrong with her? I thought and turned around to go back inside.I was on my way when I saw a lone big black wolf coming towards our house.I quickly sniffed and saw that it wasn't a rogue, not that our Pack guards would let them in, but someone can't be too careful.It was when the wolf got closer that I saw the familiarity in his eyes.That's Amoux, right?Where is he coming from?And what's that in his mouth?I carefully inspected him for any sign of paw scratches or anything but I couldn't find any until he got closer and I saw blood on its furs.When Amoux got in front of me, I watched him drop the body of the brown fox from his mouth and immediately left.After some minutes, he came back fully dressed but I was still at the front door, totally helpless on what to use a fox for.“Dinner,” Amoux interfered. He smiled briefly then picked up the fox and went inside.Did he mean that the fox is for dinner??Wow!I've never eaten a fox before. I rarely hunt so I could only catch rodents or chameleons. I've never caught a big animal.I quickly followed his lead.“A fox?”I heard my mum say from the kitchen as I entered.He already got to the kitchen?The Grand Beta can't really be underestimated. It was just a few seconds ago that he came inside and he's already in the kitchen.“Yes, a fox, I hunt it when I was coming from your Alpha’s house,”“You went to our Alpha’s house?” I asked immediately as I entered the kitchen.“Yes, it's been three days since I got here it would be rude if I didn't drop by his house,”“Oh…” I mumbled as I nodded my head. It would really be rude if he hadn't gone to see him truly..Though our Pack is not as strong as other werewolf Packs, it is still rich in soil and good water, and our position can't be underestimated in the council.“Amoux, can you come out for a while, I want to discuss something with you.”“Sure, ”I heard his reply and walked out of the room with him behind me.“My dad is getting better and I would like to tell you that it might not be up to a week before he becomes as healthy as before,”I said to Amoux immediately we got outside on the front door.“That’s nice, I wish him quick recovery,”“Yeah, Thank you.” I mumbled with a smile.“So what did you want to discuss with me?” Amoux asked when he saw that I remained quiet.“Uhm,”Ah, shit!How am I supposed to ask what's the Alpha King's sickness when he had once told me that it was a strange sickness that no one knows about?“Yes?”I raised my eyebrows and looked up at him but I couldn't form the words.Come on, Snow, you are a healer!It's your job to ask!Amoux’s POVI watched Eira gently rubbing her head again and again, as she tried to form words.I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows at her in question.What could she possibly want to discuss? Don't tell me that she wants to reject the proposal!I instantly frowned at the thought. “I want to ask about the Alpha King’s illness, can you tell me the symptoms?” Eira finally let out.Is that what she wanted to ask? Or is there more to it?What if I divulge it to her and she didn't want to treat it again?Well, I just have to say it to know if she can extend his life a bit, if not Reagan only has a few years to live.No, I have to give him hope.Ever since Anika's demise, he had just been drinking and wallowing in total misery.He wasn't the Reagan I know anymore, he looked more like the shadow of himself.I almost wished we never knew about the existence of Anika. At least, we still have hope but now we just have to find ways to extend his life.“We don’t know the sickness. It's actuall
Amoux’s POVI quickly shook my head on his behalf.No, definitely not!There must be something we can do about it.There must definitely be something since his mate already died.That was what I was thinking when I saw a petite figure approaching me.It was when it got closer that I saw that it was Eira's sister.Was she the shadow from earlier?Well, I can't really say but if she's the one it would be better than any other person. I don't want to feel like I'm being tailed.“Hi,” I greeted her when she got to my presence and quickly smiled at her.I don't know what's it about Carla that I found amusing but since I arrived at this house, I've been trying to spend more time with her than any other person.Which wasn't my way of life.Dolphus and Reagan are the two extroverts among us and I've always been the unapproachable one.Sorry, Reagan is also unapproachable except when we left the Pack house in disguise to party or for outing.That was when werewolves and any other creature woul
Amoux’s POVI was woken by the rays of the sun as it glitters directly into my eyes.I turned around and buried my nose in the soft pillow I was resting my head on when I recollect that we are leaving for Deep Water today.Finally..I grumbled as I shredded the blanket and stood up to go to the bathroom.When I got inside the bathroom, I didn't know how my thoughts drifted to the sexual experience I had last night. Surprisingly, I was able to find a girl with brown eyes and brown hair like Carla but I wasn't able to see someone I wanted as much as her.So, I got distracted and after a while, I came back to the house disappointed because they couldn't get my dick excited.It was flaccid no matter how many brown eyes and hair girls I found. I gradually lost interest and came back without extinguishing the stifling desire in me.Maybe it's because I'm still around her.When I get back to Deep Water and Carla is not there, I would definitely be able to raise the wild wolf again.After wa
Amoux’s POVIt wasn't long when Eira and Carla came out of their room with a big pack.I instantly frown, they don't actually have to take clothes with them because everything they need will be provided for them in Deep Water.“Eira, I think you only have to take any herbs that you think might be useful for the Alpha King’s illness, and just a cloth because you will be provided with anything you want. You are our guests.”“Really? Oh I don't know. I will go and reduce my stuff, ” Eira replied and went back inside her room.Carla also nodded her head and went back into her room too.When they came out again, they were only holding a small pack. I nodded and looked at Mr. & Mrs. Ralph.“We will be leaving now. I will go outside and shift first, they can join me when they are done.” I said to Carla and Eira.“Alright, Grand Beta.” They replied in unison.I bobbed my head and strolled out of the house. I went to the backyard to undress and shift to my wolf form.It wasn't long when I saw
Amoux’s POV“Of course, they will have to have sex with each other since that’s how the moon goddess programmed it,” the chief guard replied.“What's so special about the festival then,” Carla scoffed quietly.This was the first time I heard her talk since we left their pack.It was really nice to my ears. I wished she would actually talk more but she didn’t say anything until we got to the Pack house and saw how everywhere was decorated in colors.“It’s beautiful,” Carla and Eira mumbled.“Yes, it is,” I agreed.Even though we were already at the Pack house, most of the werewolves weren’t present.I immediately assumed that they were all at the location of the festival.It wasn’t long when we got to the Pack house that Alpha Ryan came to meet us.I assumed that it was his chief guard that mind link him to inform him that we were around.“Grand Beta,” He greeted with respect immediately as he got closer to us.“Alpha Ryan,” I greeted back in equal respect.I’m more powerful and I also
Amoux’s POVIt was after a few minutes that Brie finally answered me.“Our Beta mate was put to bed some minutes ago, we never expected that her pup would come today. You probably saw her when you arrived too, she was wearing a green gown and was heavily pregnant.” Brie answered.I searched my memory for anybody that fitted that description but it came back with nothing.I don’t think I have seen any pregnant ladies since I arrived though. Even if I had as she claimed, I wouldn't have remembered because I was so exhausted as at that time and the only thing in my head was how to freshen up and eat.I wasn't even sure I'd attend the festival until Carla came to my room.If not I might not even have stepped out of the room.“Well there’s nothing magical about a healer delivering, yeah?” I asked, trying to get why she said if it wasn’t because of Eira…“At first, we didn’t know that she was a healer. It was minutes after you guys went inside that her water broke, and our Pack healer was a
Amoux’s POVI looked at Carla back in shock with my eyes wide open.Did I hear her correctly?“You want me to disvirgin you?” I asked again to confirm that I really heard the correct words.“Yeah, you said the Alpha King doesn't like virgins and I want to be sure that he wouldn't like Eira because we are both virgins, ” Carla answers in a slurred speech.Oh my God! What's this girl asking me for?! Is this even reasonable? What the heck?“You really want me to fuck you?” I asked again because I still couldn't believe that the girl I'd been lusting over was actually offering herself to me.“Yes, ” Carla replied and subconsciously licked her full bottom lip.I watched slowly as my sanity and morality vanished with the dim moonlight.I hesitantly moved my right hand over her soft fair hands, I watched as my shaky hands fumbled over her and how soft they were under my firm ones.I felt how delicate and smooth they were until they suddenly started heating up with my hands, the sudden fire o
Eira’s POVWhen I got to where the ring was and picked it up, I couldn't shake off the feeling of familiarity I got from it.I felt like I'd seen it before but I also felt like I'd never seen it before.Maybe it belongs to Amoux, because I knew it definitely wasn't owned by Carla. After all, my family isn't as rich as that.That also brought me to the question of where I saw it before..I've never seen it with Amoux either, so maybe I should ask him about it.I wrapped the ring safely around my waist and walked out of the room.I checked all the rooms but I could find neither Carla nor Amoux until I left the house and went to Alpha Ryan's house to look for them.That was when I saw Amoux, he was talking with Alpha Ryan and he looked absolutely angry. Alpha Ryan was trying to calm him down or explain some stuff to him but he doesn't look interested in his explanation.I instantly quickened my steps and walked towards them to listen to their conversation.“Grand Beta, those young wolves
