“Alpha King, this is my daughter Jasmina. She turned eighteen a few months ago and is now traveling with me to gain experience in the pack's work.” Alpha Glary of Silver Moon pushes his youngest daughter in front of me. She is beautiful, I must give her that. Shy and uncomfortable with the situation, obviously this is not her idea, her father is forcing her on me, embarrassing her publicly. All eyes are on us, everyone is waiting for my usual rejection. I feel sorry for her, she is a woman like my mate, a subject I should also treat with respect.
I take her hand and kiss the back of it. “Hi, Jasmina. You are definitely a beauty. I hope the other Alphas don't present their daughters to me in this way too, but shall we have a drink in the back?” I offer her. This is uncommon for me, the packs have never actually seen me in female company. That's why many suspects I'm gay. But Jasmina also gives me the opportunity to tear myself away from the pushy Alphas here. I put her hand on my elbow, look up and nod to my mate. She immediately understands my intention and removes herself from the circle of men that has gathered around her.
With Jasmina on my arm, I politely nod my way toward my mate. When we get there, I introduce the women to each other. “Drina, this is Jasmina, the daughter of Alpha Glary. Her father just introduced us and I thought we could have a drink together." I get close to Drina, wanting to inhale her scent. But I still have to delay the urge to hide my face in the crook of her neck. I'll have plenty of time for that in a few hours. My wolf Hunter goes crazy with happiness in my head, demanding that I at least kiss our mate. But that's not possible, everyone's eyes are on us. In addition, I have already taken a chance by walking directly to Drina and showing that we already know each other.
My mate extends her hand to Jasmina who stares at her with relief.
“Hi Jasmina, glad to meet you. That was an awkward moment, your father didn't show any diplomacy to introduce you to Enrick," she explains softly. I sense all were ears are now on the three of us. I can feel the agitation in the room, everyone is now wondering how Drina and I know each other, what relationship we share and how Jasmina fits into that. And Drina also addressed me by name, not many have this privilege. So they all assume she must be close to me. The curiosity in the room yanks up.
"Is that his mate?" I hear someone whisper before a buzz goes through the room. The gossip machine goes into overdrive because none of them has ever seen me with any mate, nor has there been any official announcement about that. Drina and I are rarely in public like this. We've been on a few dates, and intimate dinners at restaurants in Human Town, outside the packs. We are always discreet, with no affection in public. Once, an online magazine posted a photo of us together but referred to her as an unknown lady at a casual meeting. No one has attached a romantic label to it.
Alpha Glary happiness is unprecedented.
His daughter has been able to keep the attention of the Alpha King, which is more than many were able to achieve. He probably already envisions his daughter's Luna ceremony. Poor guy. He has caused his daughter almost irreparable damage. If I had rudely rejected her, she could never find a mate in the future. I think I need to have a serious talk with the Alphas about this way of mating off their daughters, it gets worse every year. And as more daughters come of age, these annual meetings also get more crowded with horny she-wolves rather than high rankings who are supposed to talk business here.
Within minutes, Jasmina feels entirely at ease. My mate has managed to relax her, Jasmina now even laughs profusely at her jokes. The two women chat comfortably while I stand by and enjoy the pleasing voice I haven't heard for so long. It caresses my senses, tempting me to move closer to her body and absorb more of her heat. With iron willpower, I hold back, but still know this can't go on for too long.
'Alpha King, everything is ready. The pilot is waiting for you', I suddenly hear my Beta in the mind link. 'Come in the ballroom and let's leave with the women. When we are outside, you will take care of Jasmina. Treat her with respect until her father gets her,' I tell him. Half a minute later, Jace joins us. I take Jasmina's arm as Jace walks out of the room next to Drina. On our way out I greet some guests, wish them a good time in my pack and leave the place. Everyone guesses I'm going to finish the night with the Alpha’s daughter. Not me.
When we're outside, I give her hand to Jace. “Jasmina, dear, my Beta will make sure you have a great time and will take you back to your father later. If you need anything, feel free to contact Jace or me,” I offer her graciously.
I turn to my mate with a nod at Jace. I take her bridal style to walk with her to my car. Carefully I place my mate in the passenger seat, fasten her seatbelt and press a kiss to her forehead. Sitting next to her, I take a hand in mine, softly kiss every precious finger and drive at high speed to the airstrip of my pack.
“Where are we going, my love?” Drina asks when she notices the Jet’s engine running. I turn to her with a smile. My lips against hers, I whisper to her before we lose ourselves in a scorching kiss. "That is a surprise"...
I take my mate in my arms and carry her up the stairs to the cabin.She clings to me like a vice, her hands tossing in my long hair as I cover her face with light kisses. It always feels good when she does this.It is a luxury Jet with an open space. In addition to a few chairs, there is also a comfortable wide sofa. I put my mate on her feet, take her hand and lead her to the bar where I pour two glasses of wine for us. “Let's toast, my love”, I whisper innocently to her. “To a long life and our love”. She looks at me uneasily, sensing that there is more to this surprise trip. Reluctantly, she clicks her glass against mine. “Hmmm, where are we going, Enrick?” she asks suspiciously. I grin teasingly. “Wait and see. Let's put on our seatbelts for the pilot to take off this machine."I take Drina to a single chair, put on her seatbelt and sit on another one opposite her. In the mind link, I let the pilot know that we are ready. We take off steady and when we are safely in
I'm taking my mate to Paris to visit the yearly week of fashion.She loves beautiful exotic clothes and I love to spoil her. During the five years we've been together, she's bought herself almost nothing with the credit card I gave her. All lingerie and other clothing are what we have selected together.But I do notice that she spends money in Victoria's Secrets shops, but the amounts are more like small items she buys. And she also likes to shop for groceries at Walmart, always the same amount every month. As if she is purchasing the same items every month, never going out of her budget. I once told her not to be so frugal, we have enough money to feed an entire army. She laughed heartily at my remark, promised to keep me to my word. She probably plans to give me a lot of pups, I'm so ready for that, pups with my mate.We are now in the VIP lounge, examining what the catwalk has to offer us. There are a few designs I would like to see her in, but I notice her getting startled every t
Today is a special day in Midnight Moon. My in-laws are coming to visit. I wanted to make the best impression, so I told Jace to clean up and decorate the pack territory. The only thing I was ready to explain to him earlier was that I would welcome important visitors and everything has to be in top condition. We're in my office about to do an inspection round to ensure everything is going according to plan. Jace has stepped up the security, this isn't an ordinary visit we get. We have about four hours before Drina arrives with her parents. It will be a dinner with the high rankings and Elders of Midnight Moon. With Drina I have agreed that we will announce that her parents are influential businessmen who pay me a courtesy visit. As much as I urged her to tell the pack the truth now, she said her family needed some time before they could do that. Again she didn't explain the secrecy surrounding our relationship, if I had an inferiority complex, I would think she was ashamed of me. Bu
A strange comment, but nevertheless, I nod for my father-in-law's explanation.Because every werewolf parent knows their children can already meet their mate when they turn eighteen. Not much preparation is needed, especially since it is the she-wolf who is leaving her parental home to live with her mate. And I'm all set to have Drina with me, I don't have to prove that anymore.Ooohh well, I'll pass this subject on too, ultimately this is a matter between Drina and me.The aura of these people may seem strange, but they surely are not evil. Actually, I only receive positive vibes from my father-in-law, he seems to be a dignified and honest person. His demeanor is somewhat aristocratic, which greatly piques my curiosity. I will have to be very subtle with my questions to learn more about this family. I certainly don't want to offend them, with my mate still in their house, I'm walking on eggshells.Before I am able to answer, we hear a buzz outside the door.The voices of my warriors
Erina holds all our attention, albeit in different ways.Drina and her mother peek broodingly at the little girl, there will undoubtedly be punishment waiting for her when she returns home. Arthur, on the other hand, is greatly amused by the child's behavior, as if he is used to her mischief. Jace serves her like a servile servant, gets her a plate and cutler and everything she demands.When dinner is finally served, we eat in a relaxed mood. My in-laws are genuinely wonderful people, It's really a pity I didn't meet them sooner. But I think everything happens at the right time, Drina sure knows why she held it off so long. Thank God, she relaxes next to me as we chat lightly with her parents. I feel so proud with her at my side, her attitude is more that of a Luna.My mate helps her parents choose the dishes and pour their glasses.She makes sure they don't lack anything. One of the waitresses nearly dropped a carafe with juice when Drina approached her for some more meat. Fortunatel
Somewhere in the Southern area“So that bitch Drina has finally found her fated mate.” Alcina, the witch, grits her teeth as she reads her writings of the day. This is the final episode of her plan, the day she’d been waiting for two decennia. Drina and her mate will complete her revenge on Florence and her mate, Arthur.For years she has kept an eye on the daughter of the couple who has radically changed her life. From baby to her teens, she’d watched the only daughter of Florence. On a few occasions, she has given them sleepless nights by casting a spell of sickness on the little Drina, just enough to ensure she won’t die. Before ending Drina’s life, Alcina has another soap in mind with she, herself playing the leading role.Drina is the key to her plan. The witch hates Florence and her mate with all that’s in her. They are responsible for the loss of everything important she owned. It was over twenty years ago when Arthur burned her coven, the largest in the western hemisphere, to
When Alcina arrives at Andre's huge hut, she reports her presence at the reception.The receptionist leads her into a small waiting room overgrown with creepers and the walls are painted with all kinds of witchcraft paintings and idioms. With all this, Andre makes it clear to everyone visiting him that he is no ordinary leader but an initiate in witchcraft and descendant of a long bloodline of warlocks. He is not one to be underestimated.“Alcina!” he suddenly calls her from one of the rooms. "Please, come in".With a jerk, she is shaken out of her dreams back to reality and quickly gets up. By entering the room, she sees the warlock sitting on the floor at the far end. In front of him, he has a flat wooden board with bowls with all kinds of liquids in them. Next to him is a mirror leaning against the wall."Come closer, witch", Andre's deep masculine voice sounds. He keeps his eyes fixed on her face. Somewhat awkwardly, Alcina takes a few steps towards him but stands at a safe distan
Alcina walks at her leisure towards the highway.Her idea is to hitchhike to Alpha King Enrick's Midnight Moon pack. That's where her plan will begin. Now that she has temporarily lost her powers and is practically just human, she will have to make some adjustments to her original idea. She sniffs her body and notices that her witch scent is gone. Perfect too. It couldn't get any better, now she can't be recognized by the werewolves.When she reaches the highway, she sits down and waits on a stone. It is still early in the morning, there is a watery sun in the sky. With a few strokes, she blows her black locks out and lifts her face into the air, taking a deep fresh breath to relax. Under all circumstances, she must regain her normal posture to avoid arousing the werewolves’ suspicion. She wipes the heavy make-up off her face with a damp cloth and applies some moisturizer. When she looks in the small mirror of her toiletry bag, there is nothing to tell that she is a wit
