《Alpha鈥檚 Predestined Bride》


 EPISODE 1 When his gaze locked hers

    PROLOGUE


    MOON STONE PACK


    ¡°Wee to the era where humans and werewolves coexist without the fear of who is the predator or prey. And werewolves can choose their mates.¡±


    Meagan heaved a sigh as she looked around the decorated pack ballroom that was packed, leaving a smallish opening for a dance floor at one end near the DJ stand. The room was filled with humans and mostly werewolves in different colors and styles of costumes.


    ¡°The ballroom will be fully packed tonight. Why? The moon celebration week plus the Beta¡¯s wedding! I am so excited!¡± Brianna, thedy who Meagan just met had rattled on about how many people would be present at the event tonight.


    At first Meagan had thought Brianna had exaggerated about how many guests would be in attendance tonight but she was right. Everywhere Meagan stepped had people standing close by that she had to push her way through.


    The festival was going fine and it had already started because they arrivedte. The music was loud, the tablesden with plenty food, the booze free flowing and everyone seemed to be having a good time. Meagan¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t trace where her best friend and Brianna stood, but they had absorbed into the crowd to their friends. Well, they are used to this lifestyle and people around here since she was the only who isn¡¯t a member of the pack between them.


    A server pressed a mixed drink into Meagan¡¯s hand and she sipped it while her eyes was still surveying the creativity of costumes in the room. The atmosphere spells ¨C Halloween under the deem lighting and colored lights flickered around the room. Every individual blended into a chit-chat andughters in groups but Meagan seemed to be the only one standing without partner. Her present job was telling the type of costume on each person, she could recognize them all. Starting from Harlequin, joker, Drac, fairy godmother, Bartholomew the scientist, Dragon King Darius, witches, vampires, pirates and other memorable icons in the shadowy room.


    Meagan adjusted her mask as ady dressed in a Korean style queen mother passed by her with a smile on her face. She frowned at an alligator flirting with a peacock but soon found herself chuckling at thebination. Alligator and a proud peacock. Meagan swallowed a bit of the liquid before lowering her ss.


    ¡°Mom would have loved this ce¡­maybe I should have invited them all especially Collins who likes the spirit of Halloween, Penelope who would love to see a man dressed in a vampire outfit or Benjamin who is eager to get married. This is the best ce and everyone would love to be here.¡± Meagan mumbled to no one in particr.


    ¡°Your family would have loved to be here?¡± A masculine voice said behind her.


    Immediately Meagan turned surprised that someone had heard her mumbling to herself amidst themotion and loud music. Her gaze locked with a tall handsome man, his hair packed in a bun style, his wrestlers shoulders were part of his muscr physique and his well chiseled chest was bare only a double crossed whip on him. He had a dark bristly mustache, dressed in a khaki pant and ck leather boots with detachable whips dangling from the belt on both sides. Meagan recognized his outfit.


    ¡°Warlord Baron?¡± Meagan said.


    He walked majestically towards her. ¡°Yes ma¡¯am.¡± He smiled revealing his white teeth and a deep dent on both sides of his cheeks.


    Meagan¡¯s breath caught as she took in more of his features. His crescent moon eyebrows were thin and narrow, Irish eyes that looked soft and dangerous at the same time and a defined cheekbone. He was tall, a lot taller than her even on heels. He had a charisma that would make any woman enticed by him. He was charismatic perfect and the aura of authority hovered around him. His domineering attitude wasn¡¯t just from the costume he had in but seen from the way he stood, looking straight into her eyes without breaking the eye contact even as she tried to step backward a bit.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.

 EPISODE 2 Dinner on Sunday

    CLEVELAND HOSPITAL


    Doctor Meagan was taking a short break at the hospital cafeteriate Friday afternoon after attending to several patients. She dropped her spoon to pick up her cellphone and skimmed through her messages on WhatsApp. There are several messages from known groups but just one message caught her eyes.


    ¡°Hi Meagan, how are you doing? I have great news to share with you! So call me whenever you are less busy!¡± Her best friend, Hazel had texted two days ago.


    Meagan Swift is a busy woman, who has made her job her first priority in life and she rarely has time for social media. To Meagan Swift, saving lives matters and ites first before anything else.


    Meagan knew Hazel, her best friend of over fifteen years would be so mad at her right now for not replying her text messages.


    ¡°I should call her back before she threatens to rip off my head.¡± Meagan mumbled. She scrolled to her contacts to call Hazel.


    ¡°Hello Meagan,¡± a familiar masculine voice said.


    Meagan looked up and found Ethan smiling at her.


    ¡°Can I join you?¡± Ethan asked, standing right there with a tray filled with food in his hand.


    ¡°Ethan-¡±


    ¡°Can I join you please?¡± He repeated.


    ¡°Sure, please join me¡­ Ethan.¡± Meagan stuttered.


    Ethan Roberts is also a medical doctor at the popr Clevnd hospital. Aside the fact that Clevnd hospital belongs to Ethan¡¯s family, he is one of the best doctors. Rumors have it that he got to be the director of the hospital at a young age because he is the first son. But it wasn¡¯t true. Ethan truly deserved the position.


    Ethan Roberts graduated as one of the best medical students in Northwestern University which is the best school of medicine in the United state of America.


    Meagan met Ethan first year in medical school. He was two years ahead of her. She had identally bumped into him on her way out of the cafeteria. Ethan apologized for not paying attention on the road ahead as he tapped away on his cellphone. The shy and nerdy Ethan Roberts had asked for her number and also asked to be friends with her. And Meagan couldn¡¯t turn him down because he had asked politely, he didn¡¯t look like a bad boy plus she knew who he was on campus.


    ¡°The genius Ethan Roberts.¡±


    She had heard girls whispering about him and how much he loved to help junior students study and who are willing to learn.


    Meagan felt it wasn¡¯t a bad idea to have a senior like him help her out with studying in college. And she never regretted her decision to be friends with him. Ethan is a cool guy! Any woman could find herself melting at his charming smile and the sound of his voice.


    Ethan really helped Meagan in school and she grew sofortable around him. They became so close to the point that students gossiped about them having an affair. But in the real sense, Ethan has never made any advances towards Meagan.


    Although over the years, Ethan grew fond of Meagan and he realized that he is in love with her. But Ethan feared that confessing his feelings to Meagan would ruin the close bond and friendship. And it was obvious that Meagan doesn¡¯t have any feelings for Ethan.


    ¡°So what are you doing this weekend?¡± Ethan asked as he munched on his potatoes.


    Meagan looked up from her cellphone. ¡°This weekend?¡± She repeated.


    ¡°Yeah.. I am off work on Sunday. And I am sure it is your day off too.¡± Ethan said. He had taken out time to check the hospital¡¯s roaster for the weekend to be sure that Meagan was off work. And there won¡¯t be any chance for her to make excuses.


    ¡°Yeah¡­ it is a day off for me.¡± Meagan took a hasty swallow on the ss of water as she read another message from her best friend.


    ¡°Call me right now!¡± Hazel texted adding an angry emoji after thest word.


    ¡°Perfect timing-¡± Ethan studied her beautiful face as she focused on her cellphone.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Meagan wasn¡¯t paying attention to him anymore. ¡°Meagan-¡±  he called.


    ¡°Huh?¡± Meagan head snapped up to look at him.  ¡°Oh! You were saying something about -¡± she paused trying to remember hisst few words to her.


    ¡°Dinner on Sunday.¡± Ethan filled her in.


    ¡°Oh! Yeah Dinner¡­¡± her phone vibrated, another message from Hazel.


    ¡°I am ripping off your head from your body when next we meet again!¡± And this time she added a sword-like emoji.


    ¡°What are you looking at on your phone?¡± Ethan asked.


    ¡°I just got a message from my best friend.¡± Meagan stood up from the chair. ¡°I need to call her right now.¡± She said.


    ¡°And what about the dinner on Sunday?¡± Ethan asked.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have any ns yet for the weekend except for work on Saturday but I am free on Sunday. So I will give you a call if I can make it.¡± Meagan rushed out her words.


    Her cellphone beeped. ¡°Okay I will-¡± she rushed off before Ethan could say his next words.


    *****


    Meagan stepped into her office and picked Hazel¡¯s call on the second ring.  ¡°Meagan, how dare you treat me this way?! I have been nothing but good to you over the years! So why do you tend to forget me and even worst you toss me aside like a piece of trash!¡± Hazel screamed over the phone almost deafening Meagan¡¯s ear drum.


    ¡°Hazel-¡±


    ¡°What do you have to say this time?!¡± Meagan put the phone away from her ear as she settled in the swivel chair in the office. She clicked on the screen to turn on the speaker.


    Her best friend has been a drama queen since they were little girls. ¡°What excuse do you want to give to me this time around?!¡± Hazel asked with annoyance still clear in her tone.


    ¡°I am sorry¡­ Hazel. I got -¡±


    Hazel interrupted her. ¡°¡­ busy with work and I didn¡¯t have all the time to ess my phone.¡± Hazelpleted Meagan¡¯s intended statement.

 EPISODE 3 She is getting married

    Hazelpleted Megan¡¯s intended statement. ¡°It is always the same words over and over again.¡± She added.


    ¡°Hazel, you have every right to be pissed at me for not texting or checking on you. I am really sorry.¡± Meagan apologized.


    Hazel heaved a sigh. ¡°And don¡¯t even dare promise to make things up to me this time.¡± She sounded angry.


    ¡°I love you, Hazel.¡± Meagan said.


    Seconds clicked by in silence followed by a giggling sound from the other end.


    ¡°Gotcha!¡± Hazel said.


    She has done it again. The drama queen has just put up another show of feigned annoyance making it look like she was really mad at Meagan.


    ¡°Oh.. Hazel¡­¡± Meagan heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Is my head safe now?¡± She asked.


    ¡°Of course! It¡¯s good to know that my threats always work on my best friend. You poor little thing.¡± Hazel giggled.


    ¡°You scared me Hazel, you almost blocked my eardrums with your first few words.¡± Meagan couldn¡¯t help butugh.


    ¡°Ouch¡­ sorry best friend. So how are you doing?¡± Hazel asked.


    ¡°I am doing fine. What about you?¡± Meagan asked as she toyed with the ball point pen on her table.


    ¡°I am super duper excited!¡± Hazel replied with excitement in her tone.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Something good must have happened to your wolf, Hazel. So fill me in.¡± Meagan said.


    ¡°Guess what?¡± Hazel said in a low tone now.


    Meagan had to roll her eyes. ¡°Come on Hazel, you know how bad I am in guessing game.¡±


    ¡°Yeah you are terrible at guessing but you still need to give it a try this time. Let me help you a bit¡­ so what¡¯s my greatest dream as a werewolf?¡± Hazel demanded.


    Meagan didn¡¯t have to think too much. ¡°Finding your mate and getting married to him.¡± She answered.


    ¡°You never disappoint in things that concerns me!¡± Hazel eximed happily.


    ¡°Wait.. you have good news to share with me and -¡± Meagan paused trying to think and soon realization hit her. ¡°Oh my God¡­¡± she stopped.


    ¡°Go on girl¡­.¡± Hazel cheered.


    ¡°Julius asked you to marry him?!¡± Meagan gasped out.


    ¡°Yes!¡± Hazel¡¯s response was sharp and immediate.


    Meagan stood up from the chair abruptly and they both screamed out at the same time. Meagan totally forgot that she was still at her work ce.


    ¡°Julius proposed to me two days ago! I tried to reach out to share the good news to you first but you went.. MIA.¡± Hazel said, tears pulling in her eyes.


    ¡°I am so happy for you, Hazel. Finally you can work down the aisle with the man you love.¡± Meagan said with a happy smile on her face.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t know I would end up with a Beta of a powerful pack.¡± Hazelughed.


    ¡°You have always wanted your mate to be someone powerful.¡± Meagan reminded her.


    ¡°An alpha is the most powerful in our world.¡± Hazel corrected.


    ¡°Yeah I know the ranks all thanks to you. But I am very sure you got the best man in your pack.¡± Meaganughed.


    ¡°Well wait until you meet the alpha of Moon Stone pack.¡±  Hazel said in a tight whisper.


    ¡°I can hear you, my love.¡± A baritone voice said over the phone. It was Julius, Hazel¡¯s husband to be.


    Julius is the Beta of the most powerful werewolf pack in America. He is the second inmand in Moon Stone pack.


    ¡°Come on, I was only kidding. I owe my loyalty to the alpha but I love you more.¡± Hazel giggled.


    ¡°Hi Meagan,¡± Julius said over the phone.


    ¡°Hello Julius, good to hear from you


    She wasn¡¯t that familiar with Julius unlike the other men Hazel had dated in the past. She has only met Julius once and that was when he visited the state with Hazel just to bring a gift to Meagan on her birthday. And that was two years ago.


    Meagan haven¡¯t seen her best friend for over a year now. They only keep in touch on phone. Meagan is always the busy one although Hazel also has a role to fulfill at the pack¡¯s infirmary as a physician.


    ¡°Wedding bells!¡± Hazelughed.


    ¡°You already fixed a date?¡± Meagan asked.


    ¡°Yes our wedding is in two weeks.¡± Julius replied.


    ¡°Wow! I wasn¡¯t expecting it to be this soon.¡± Meagan admitted.


    ¡°I can¡¯t wait to walk down the aisle with you baby.¡± Hazel kissed her mate.


    ¡°We are just trying to cut down expenses. The moon celebration ising up so it is wise to have the wedding the same week.¡± Julius exined.


    ¡°Oh that¡¯s understandable. I mean expenses will be on the pack.¡± Meagan replied.


    ¡°We are the lucky couples. The alpha is offering to sponsor our wedding because he wants to make his Beta happy.¡± Hazel added excitedly.


    ¡°That¡¯s not the case. It is a tradition in our pack for high ranking officials.¡± Julius countered.


    ¡°Then I guess I am the luckiest bride.¡± Hazel said and they allughed.


    ¡°Congrattions to you again, best friend.¡± Meagan sat back on the swivel chair moving it slowly in a circr motion.


    ¡°Pack up your bags because you have toe to our pack and perform your duties as the chief¡¯s bridesmaid.¡± Hazel announced.


    ¡°What?! You want me to be your chief bridesmaid?!¡± Meagan asked in a surprised tone.


    Hazel was confused. ¡°Why do you sound so surprised?¡± She asked.


    ¡°I am just wondering why you pick me to be your chief¡¯s bridesmaid? I mean we -¡±


    Hazel cut her off. ¡°You are my best friend Meagan! Look I understand that you are busy but I don¡¯t have anyone to fill in that spot for me.¡±


    No words came from Meagan. She thought Hazel would have fixed in someone better from the pack. She had been the one making all sorts of excuses over the year each time Hazel tried to set up a meeting. She had declined everydies hangouts and missed get together organized by those she recognized as friends.


    Ever since the fall apart in her first rtionship, Meagan had shut herself out from the world. All she did was bury herself in work.


    Meagan is the type of the person who hates making mistakes but she made one three years ago. Every part of her regretted it. Her inexperience had caused her great damage. It had broke and destroyed every part of her existence. And Meagan had vowed to never make such a mistake again. And to achieve it she had stayed away from having another rtionship or getting involved and close with a man.


    ¡°You won¡¯t turn me down right?¡± Hazel said in a tight whisper. She was scared of her best friend¡¯s rejection.


    ¡°You can¡¯t miss my wedding, Meagan.¡± Hazel mumbled.


    ¡°I am sorry.. Hazel for-¡±


    Hazel interrupted her best friend. ¡°No Meagan listen.. I understand that you have been through a lot these past few years. And I hope that some day youe out of that shell of loneliness. But I need you to be here with me. I can¡¯t do this without you, Meagan.¡± Hazel¡¯s voice pleaded almost at the verge of tears.


    ¡°I guess you are lucky after all. I filed in a for a two weeks leave at work just to go for my yearly vacation. So I will make it to your wedding.¡± Meagan said after some minutes of silence.


    Hazel couldn¡¯t believe that Meagan just said yes. ¡°She won¡¯t miss my wedding!¡± Hazel cried out.


    Meagan and Juliusughed. ¡°Stop being such a cry baby.¡± Meagan said.


    ¡°My chief¡¯s bridesmaid! You scared me Meagan, I thought you were going to turn me down.¡± Hazel wiped her tears.


    ¡°What if I had turned you down?¡± Meagan asked.


    ¡°Well with my mate¡¯s influence, I can have ten big wolves travel down to your state to abduct you to our pack. And you will never leave this ce again.¡± Hazel said in a serious tone.


    ¡°Seriously? You will have me abducted!¡± Meaganughed.


    ¡°Thank goodness you said yes!¡± Hazel screamed in excitement.


    ¡°I can never miss your wedding.¡± Meagan said.


    ¡°Thank you, Meagan.¡± Hazel blew kisses over the phone.


    ¡°Anything for you.¡± The timer on her table beeped.


    ¡°Your break is over right?¡± Hazel asked.


    Meagan hummed a positive response as she stood up and grabbed the medical jacket. ¡°Alright. Make sure you give me a call to fill me in about the preparations.¡± She added.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll send a chart to you and beep youter at night.¡± Hazel replied.


    ¡°Bye.¡± Meagan disconnected the call.

 EPISODE 4 Vampire rogues

    MOON STONE PACK


    Brianna rushed into the mansion, forgetting to greet the set of wolves bustling around to get whatever chores they were supposed to do before the alpha steps out from his office. She raced up the stairs towards the alpha¡¯s office to confirm the words she had heard from the pack members.


    Brianna had gone to the training ground to look for the Beta but one of the warriors said that Julius had left to see the alpha about some disturbing issues. She changed her mind about asking from Julius but decided to talk to the alpha instead. All the more reason why she was making her way towards the office to confirm things from the alpha.


    Alpha Carl stopped pacing when he heard a soft knock on the door. He exchanged nces with his Beta but Julius replied with a shrug signifying that he wasn¡¯t expecting anyone.


    ¡°Come in,¡± Alpha Carl said.


    Brianna twisted the knob and let herself into the office.


    ¡°Good morning Carl,¡± she gritted ignoring her brother because they had a fightst night. The wolves had argued about nning a bridal shower.


    Julius didn¡¯t think it was necessary for his mate to have a bridal shower but Brianna had insisted that Hazel should hold one together with the single wolves in the pack.


    Julius was adamant about it because he reasoned that it would be and extra expenses on the pack and Brianna also didn¡¯t want to give up which had led into a noisy argument.


    ¡°How are you doing, Brianna?¡± Carl asked as he resumed pacing.


    ¡°I am fine. Pardon me for interrupting your meeting.¡± Brianna apologized.


    ¡°You always show up at the wrong time.¡± Julius muttered.


    Brianna red at her brother. ¡°Why are you here? Look we don¡¯t have all the time to y around today.¡± Julius said before Brianna could say anything.


    She ignored him and stood in front of the alpha causing him to stop pacing.


    ¡°I heard about the vampire rogues wandering on ournd and they killed one of the guardsst night.¡± Brianna stated the words she had heard the pack members whispering to each other.


    Carl nodded. ¡°It is true. The patrol guards came back earlier than the call time to return home.¡± He said.


    Brianna rubbed her temples. ¡°That¡¯s trespassing and we can¡¯t let it slide or else those rogues will acquire a massive part of ournds to build their homes.¡± She said stepping away from the alpha¡¯s pathway.


    Carl clenched his fists. ¡°They have stepped on the wrongnd. My members must be terrified by the news.¡±


    Brianna shook her head in agreement. ¡°Yes.. they are scared of the rogues invading the pack.¡± She replied.


    ¡°That¡¯s never going to happen!¡± Carl grimaced in anger.


    ¡°So what¡¯s the n?¡± Brianna asked.


    ¡°Listen Julius, I will be on patrol tonight. I need to finish off those rogues!¡± Alpha Carl asserted.


    ¡°Alright alpha, I will prepare our best men to -¡±


    Carl interrupted his Beta. ¡°No, I don¡¯t need the warriors toe with me.¡±


    Brianna furrowed her eyebrows. ¡°Why don¡¯t you need the warriors? Are you nning to fight the vampire rogues alone?¡± She demanded.


    ¡°A warriors diedst night. I don¡¯t want to lose anymore of my men.¡± Carl answered.


    ¡°Listen Carl, I know you care about the pack members but you should also be concerned about your safety. I mean what¡¯s a pack without its alpha?¡± Brianna stated with a worried look on her face.


    ¡°I will be fine.¡± Carl said.


    ¡°I aming with you.¡± Brianna and Julius blurted out at the same time.


    Their gaze met but Brianna looked away to focus on the alpha. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you to fight the vampire rogues.¡± Julius said.


    Carl shook his head in disagreement. ¡°No Julius, you need to protect the pack and its members while I am away.¡±


    ¡°But I also can¡¯t let you face the vampire rogues alone.¡± Julius countered.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go with you, Carl.¡± Brianna interjected.


    The two men turned to look at her. ¡°You are going nowhere!¡± Julius snapped at his sister.


    ¡°And you think you can stop me?¡± Brianna hissed as she folded her arms across her chest.


    ¡°Listen-¡±


    Brianna cuts him off his sentence. ¡°I am never letting you face those rogues all by yourself. So it¡¯s either you let me go with you or I sneak around and meet you at the exact spot of patrol guards.¡± She pointed out.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    Julius heaved a sigh of frustration. ¡°I am not taking no for an answer and don¡¯t you think of leaving me behind.¡± Brianna turned to leave.


    ¡°We move by 4:00 p. m.¡± Carl said and Julius looked at him with a wide eye.


    Brianna stopped on track and turned to look at the alpha with a smile on her face. ¡°You can count on me alpha.¡± She bowed slightly and made a turn to leave again.


    Julius tried to protest after Brianna¡¯s departure but Carl silence him. ¡°Turning her down won¡¯t do us any good. You know Brianna is stubborn and will always do whatever she wants once she set her mind on it.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s dangerous for her to fight the rogues.¡± Julius uttered with a perturbed look on his face. The two people he loved in the world are going off tonight to fight off dangerous vampire rogues.


    Carl ced his right hand on Julius shoulder des. ¡°Trust me to bring her   back home alive.¡± He said confidently.


    ¡°Alright.¡± Julius nodded followed by another sigh.


    Alpha Carl and Brianna left the pack at exactly 4:00 p. m with the mapped out n of making it to the pack¡¯s boundary before 7:00 p. m.


    The two wolves tied an extra clothing to their ankle in case they want to transform back into their human forms after the long run through the woods.


    Carl signaled to Brianna to shapeshift into her wolf form and she did, brown fur recing her beautiful skin, longer ws covered her slender fingers and she went on four limbs and howled into the skies.


    Alpha Carl transformed into a big ck wolf, his frame over shadowing Brianna¡¯s petite wolf, the howling from his wolf made the birds nearby fly away into the skies. And every creatures in the woods knew something dangerous had walked into their world.

 EPISODE 5 Rejection

    IN THE NIGHT


    Brianna sat in front of the fire with her legs crossed in India style. Carl stood on a spot, his sharp eyes scanning the area. She heaved a sigh of tiredness.


    ¡°Brianna, you don¡¯t have to do this patrol with me.¡± Carl said.


    ¡°Are you telling me to quit aftering this far?¡± Brianna asked as she stared into the fire.


    ¡°I am just concerned about you.¡± Carl admitted.


    Brianna liked the fact that he was worried about her and he had also made a promise to protect her.


    ¡°Don¡¯t forget that I am not just an ordinary wolf. I am a well trained moon stone warrior and one of the powerful witches in our pack.¡± Brianna replied with pride in her tone.


    Carl sat opposite Brianna. ¡°I can see you have many badges that are making you proud. But it doesn¡¯t matter, I still need to protect you as a member of my pack. That¡¯s my responsibility as an alpha.¡± He said.


    Brianna nodded in agreement. ¡°I know you have vowed to protect your pack members. Come on Carl, I am just trying to help you.¡± She threw a dry leaf into the fire.


    ¡°Why? Everyone wants to help but it seems different epting any help from you.¡± Carl stared intently at her.


    ¡°It is not hard to tell what¡¯s going on between us.¡± Brianna mumbled.


    Carl raised his eyebrows. ¡°There is nothing going on between us, Brianna. I just care for you the same way I care about the other pack members.¡± He stood up dusting off his butt.


    Brianna knew the alpha was setting boundaries which he thought she would never dare to cross. But Brianna was determined to express everything on her mind. She did not onlye out here just to fight off vampire rogues. To Brianna it was a perfect chance to prove to the alpha that she is worthy to be his mate.


    ¡°Everyone in the pack is aware of my feelings for you. But why are you trying to turn a blind eye to my feelings?¡± Brianna fiddled with her fingers as she fixed her gaze on the fire.


    ¡°Brianna-¡±


    ¡°I love you, Carl.¡± She interrupted him.


    Carl stared down at Briana and their gaze locked. He was taken aback by her sudden confession.


    ¡°What do I need to do to make me prove to you that I am worthy to be your mate?¡± Brianna asked. She waited for a response from the alpha.


    The twenty years old she wolf is madly in love with a thirty two years old wolf who happens to be an alpha. But unfortunately for Brianna their rtionship can¡¯t go well, not because of the age differences but the male wolf can¡¯t love the female wolf no matter how hard he tries.


    Alpha Carl knew this in his head but Brianna was finding it hard to ept the truth. She can¡¯t be the alpha¡¯s predestined mate.


    ¡°Brianna, I am sorry. But whatever it is you are thinking can¡¯t work between us.¡± Carl spoke up with a serious look on his face after some seconds of silence.


    ¡°But why can¡¯t a rtionship work out between us? Carl, we should at least give it a try. We can go on three dates to see if it will work out.¡± Brianna suggested.


    Carl shook his head in disagreement. ¡°I don¡¯t have time to go on dates. I have a responsibility to fulfill to the pack.¡±


    Brianna rolled her eyes. ¡°It is always about the pack. Do you ever think about your own happiness?¡± She asked.


    ¡°I am happy if the pack is doing well. The reason why things can¡¯t work out between us is because Julius is not only my best friend, he is more a brother to me. So that makes you a baby sister to me too.¡± Carl replied.


    Brianna swallowed hard. ¡°I guess that¡¯s the problem. You don¡¯t see me as a woman but the little girl you nurtured as a teenager right?¡±


    Carl nodded in response to her words.


    ¡°I shouldn¡¯t havee to earth as Julius sister. This is so annoying.¡± She mumbled.


    ¡°What if nothing changed even if you aren¡¯t Julius sister?¡± Carl questioned.


    Brianna looked away from him. ¡°Why am I not crying after this rejection?¡± She threw a stick into the mes that was almost burning down.


    ¡°Listen Brianna, I am sure you will find a man or a wolf that will reciprocate your feelings.¡± Carl said, looking up into the clear skies. The moon was full today.


    ¡°And when will that be?¡± Brianna asked.


    ¡°Soon.¡± Carl answered.


    ¡°And what if I don¡¯t find a mate?¡± Brianna stood up and ced her hands on her waist.


    Carl furrowed his eyebrows. ¡°You will find a mate¡­. definitely.¡± He assured her.


    Brianna snorted. ¡°How can you be so sure when you haven¡¯t found your better half at thirty two? All you ever do is bury yourself in pack affairs.¡± She folded her arms across her chest.


    Carl chuckled. ¡°I am devoting my life to the pack. And stop acting like you don¡¯t know what happened in myst rtionship.¡± He pointed at her.


    ¡°Oh Madison.. that¡¯s five years ago. She is such a fool for rejecting you that way. If she didn¡¯t want to get married to you then she shouldn¡¯t have acted like she was fulfilling the Luna duties at dating stage.¡± Brianna hissed out as she rattled on.


    ¡°How could she fail you? I remember you were head over heels for that sly wolf and we all thought you both would get married.¡± She shook her head, a disappointed and furious look on her face.


    ¡°There is a reason for everything.¡± Carl breathed out.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    He tried hard not to reminisce over the memories of Madison. He has closed that chapter of his life and his heart had healed of the rejection from the first woman he has ever loved.


    ¡°Well I am happy it didn¡¯t work out. While you were dating her, I had feelings for you and concluded that Madison doesn¡¯t deserve you. Although you guys looked good together.¡± She sighed.


    No words came from Carl so she continued. ¡°And guess what? I am not giving up on you until you find your better half.¡± Brianna stated clearly.

 EPISODE 6 Fighting off vampire rogues

    Carl couldn¡¯t help but chuckle at her words. ¡°I am just going to have some good time dealing with pack affairs.¡± He replied.


    ¡°Add women to the list then I am all in for a good time with the alpha.¡± Brianna said seductively as she twirled the tip of her hair.


    ¡°Stop it Brianna, your seduction won¡¯t work on me.¡± Carl picked up a stick and tried to haul it at her.


    Brianna dodged but soon realized that he didn¡¯t intend to throw it at her.


    ¡°I almost forgot that the alpha fights off seduction at every point from the single wolves in the pack. Wow! So strong!¡± She teased him.


    ¡°I am telling on you to Julius.¡± Carl pointed at her.


    Brianna shrugged. ¡°He knows I love you but he only warned me to keep my eyes off you. And unfortunately this wolf right here is not giving up anytime soon.¡± She winked.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    And all of a sudden Carl extra sensory senses got activated. The scents in the air smells differently. Brianna noticed the change of look on the alpha¡¯s face. His senses were more powerful than other werewolves because he is the alpha. And he came from a long lineage of full blooded wolves.


    ¡°Are you okay, Carl?¡± Brianna asked.


    ¡°The Rogues!¡± Carl scowled after moving over to Brianna in a bid to shield her from the intruders.


    He sighted a dagger flying in the air so he pushed Brianna down andid on her but his weight barely on her. A minuteter, arrows kept flying and growls in the air.


    ¡°Brianna, follow my instructions.¡± He whispered in a stern voice.


    ¡°I am not running away to leave you behind.¡± Brianna pushed him off her.


    Carl stood up quickly and also dragged her up. And before Carl could say any thing else, Brianna caged him to the tree nearby using her body as a shield from whatever was toe.


    Carl¡¯s eyes widened in shock when he saw an arrow being aimed at her. He tried to switch ce but she had him caged with her full strength. Carl never knew she could be so strong. Brianna¡¯s right hand caught the arrow that would have pierced the back of her neck.


    ¡°Brianna!¡± Carl yelped thinking she has been shot by an arrow.


    ¡°I am fine.¡± She said.


    Carl pushed her down until they were both bending. She showed him the arrow she had caught.


    ¡°How the fuck did you do that?!¡± He asked, a surprised look on his face.


    For a moment, Carl was terrified thinking something bad had happened to Brianna.


    ¡°I have powers. So let us take them down!¡± She winked at him.


    ¡°Look! They are over there!¡± A voice shouted.


    ¡°Terrible Rogues!¡± Carl growled.


    Brianna¡¯s head snapped in the direction and she saw ten men approaching with silver weapons in their hands. A part of her was confident that Carl could take down the ten men but helping him would also make things easier for him.


    They both stood in a defensive stance right after Brianna reached for the knives in her leather boots. Carl growled warning the vampire rogues to retreat from hisnd but the rogues didn¡¯te this far to retreat so easily. They needed to im and as their own and build up their pack. And because the vampire rogues are prideful in nature they would never stoop low to acquire and in a peaceful manner. They believe in using force to acquire materialistic things that would be beneficial to them.


    ¡°You are making the biggest mistake of your lives to have trespassed into ournd and even kill one of our members!¡± Brianna seethes her teeth in anger.


    Growls reverberated in the air, each vampire rogue fangs revealing ready to devour.


    ¡°Be ready to meet your death today!¡± Carl grimaced as he changed into his alpha identity, ws revealing from his ten fingers each and vein bulged from his neck.


    The vampire rogues weren¡¯t intimidated by his appearance and it annoyed his wolf. Two vampires came forward, Carl and Brianna took the down as they moved in different directions to protect themselves from the vampires ripping through their skins.


    One of the vampires grimaced in pain when Carl wed his sharp nails into his chest plucking out his heart. More vampires came forward, Briannaunched herself in the air avoiding two of the vampires and they ended up mming their bodies into each other.


    The impact was fierce that it sounded like thunder. Three vampire rogues attacked Carl making him stumbled off bnce but he was quick to roll back on his feet. Carl pushed his ws at several skins decapitating each of the rogues in a swift movement. He flipped his body when a dagger almost stab his side and hended in a crouch with in hand nted on the earth.


    Carl stood up again, reaching his full height and the predator inside him in full control. Brianna already took down three vampires and they both stood firm with their backs against each other.


    The rest of the vampire rogues retreated and ran off. Carl and Brianna exchanged nces and nodded in agreement at the same time. They raced after the vampire rogues. Letting them go would bring in more of their kind but if none of them return back to their hideout, the rogue in charge would see it as a sign that thend is a big no for them. And the alpha decided that he would do well to send out messages to neighboring packs to let them know about the vampire rogues.


    Soon Carl caught his target and spurred him around at a fast speed before throwing him to the rest of the rogues sending them flying in the air and colliding into nearby trees.


    Carl Damien is a more dangerous being when ites to fighting off his enemies. He kills without showing mercy when he is in his full predator form. He is known to be one of the deadliest alpha in the werewolf world. He has never tried to bargain with his enemies. He would rather tear out their limbs from their bodies.


    And in a blink of an eye, Carl took down the rest of the rogues before Brianna could even meet up to his pace.


    ¡°He is damn fast!¡± Brianna mumbled as she stood watching thest rogue fall to the ground.


    Carl dumped the head of the rogue on the ground. They had blood dropping from their torn clothes and stain on their skins.


    ¡°Who are these rogues to mess with us?!¡± Brianna threw a lethal kick at the ripped head and it went far away. She wiped her bloody hands on her worn out clothes.


    Carl changed back to his usual form. ¡°You did well.¡± Heplimented Brianna as his ws disappeared and the veins was reced with slightly hairy skin.


    Brianna blushed at his appraisal. ¡°We can do this forever.¡± She winked at him.


    ¡°I don¡¯t pray to fight anymore rogues during my reign as an alpha.¡± Carl replied with a gesture of a finger tapping the side of his head signifying that she should to erase such thought in her head.


    ¡°Whatever.¡± Brianna rolled her eyes and turned to walk away from him. Even though he had rejected her again, she was happy that heplimented her bravery.

 EPISODE 7 Best friends for life

    TWO WEEKS LATER


    MOON STONE PACK


    Meagan Swift was adorned in an old fashioned long ck dress, a cape over it, her long ck hair flowed down  her back and a pointed hat sat on her head. A wand was on her left hand and a stuffed toy cat in her right hand to represent a familiar witch in the supernatural world ¨C Allison the witch of Maridom.


    Meagan stared at the mysterious smoke-eyed powerful witch that was famous as a great fortune teller. Meagan blinked severally  as she stared at the mirror just to make sure the woman staring back at her was really Meagan Swift. The make up artist that worked on her face had done  a great job at giving her this look.


    Out of all the werewolves histories Meagan has read in her life ¨C Allison the witch of Maridom seems to be her favorite icon.


    Meagan sighed as she faced Hazel. ¡°Don¡¯t you think this costume is a bit too much?¡± She asked.


    Hazel raised her eyebrows. ¡°Too much?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know¡­ that¡¯s how I am feeling.¡± Meagan looked back at her reflection in the mirror.


    Hazel studied her long time best friend with a smug smile on her face. ¡°What¡¯s too much about your costume? The fact that I can see your cleavage? Or how sexy and hot you look in the costume?¡± Hazel demanded.


    ¡°Everything you just mentioned.¡± Meagan replied as she continued to stared at her reflection in the mirror.


    Hazel had provided the costume for Meagan knowing how much she loves the famous witch. The old fashioned gown was perfect on her, it has a square-cut neckline with off shoulder and short puff sleeves that revealed more skin than Meagan was ustomed to showing. Her long ck hair brushed her bare shoulder. The gown showed off her curves making her waist look smaller,rge hoop earrings dangling from ears and bangle bracelet clinked with movement on her wrists.


    Hazel rolled her eyes after watching Meagan just sharing at the mirror. ¡°I picked the costume because you like Allison. Don¡¯t you like it?¡±


    Meagan lifted her arm a little higher just to make sure everything that was supposed to be covered remained that way. The bracelet jangled with the movement.


    ¡°I like the costume. It¡¯s unique and beautiful.¡± Meagan said aloud.


    Hazel smiled and pped her hand excitedly. ¡°I know this costume would look good on you! I am so d you didn¡¯t turn down my offer to help with the costume.¡±


    ¡°Oh Hazel, I appreciate your help. I mean.. attending your wedding will give me a chance to at least have some fun.¡± Meagan smiled happily at her best friend.


    ¡°I know you must have worked yourself like crazy at the hospital. There is absolutely no way you would have made to my wedding or even let me pick out a costume for you if not for the yearly leave from work.¡± Excitement was clear on Hazel¡¯s face.


    ¡°You look good, Meagan.¡± Brianna said.


    On the very day Meagan arrived at moon stone pack, Hazel had introduced Brianna to her as Julius younger sister and also a bridesmaid in the uing nuptials.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    Brianna pushed lightly past Meagan to im the full length mirror. ¡°So how do I look,dies?¡± She asked.


    ¡°Fabulous.¡± Hazel replied.


    Meagan studied Brianna¡¯s outfit. She did look stunning in her warrior princess costume. Brianna waited for Meagan to say something instead of staring at her.


    ¡°You look beautiful.¡± Meagan admitted.


    The sparkling eyeshadow and ck eyeliner made Brianna¡¯s eyes look dangerous and mysterious against her wless skin.


    Brianna beamed over her shoulder at thepliment. ¡°Thank you, Meagan.¡±


    ¡°We all look gorgeous.¡± She added with a satisfying look on her face.


    Hazel turned back at the make up artist who was still busy with Alice another wolf who came from another pack to serve as a bridesmaid in Hazel¡¯s wedding.


    Alice was dressed as L the Queen of Rogues who fell in love with an alpha and ended up bing a famous Luna in the history of the wolves. Well Alice had stated it that she hope to find her better half during the event.


    All the costumes they had on were out of ordinary. Meagan, Brianna and Alice had given Hazel the chance to pick out their costumes knowing that the result would be interesting. Hazel was good at styling people up for events.


    Hazel and Meagan had known each other since junior high school, having met in an all girls boarding school. Meagan and Hazel had been randomly selected as roommates for the first session with two other girls. At first when Meagan¡¯s mom found out that her daughter was the only human in the room among three wolves, she felt ufortable and filed aint to the school authority.


    It wasn¡¯t hard to recognize wolves from the humans at school because their eyes colors looked differently. But in a world where wolves and humans coexist without the fear of who is the predator or prey is, Mrs Taylor Swift letter was declined after some days. It was in the school rules that segregation shouldn¡¯t be happening among the students.


    Mrs Taylor Swift was given the assurance that her daughter was in safe hands after seeing a copy of the peace treaty that has been signed with the leader of all wolf packs to ensure the safety of humans.


    Meagan was never scared of wolves because she has met many of them, both good and bad wolves. The quiet and shy Meagan Swift was always all by herself and trying not get in the nerves of her roommates as she observed each of them closely.


    Although they were all good to her but she liked Hazel the most. The other two wolves were in other higher grades but Hazel was in same grade with Meagan.


    By the third week in boarding school, Meagan and Hazel had be close and very good friends. And their rtionship had survived for many years even when they weren¡¯t roommates.


    They went to the same high school and college. But then they had gone on separate paths when Hazel had to return to the pack to take on a job at the pack¡¯s infirmary.


    It was a hard decision to make but the best she has ever made because it was a chance to repay the alpha and Luna of moon stone pack for sponsoring her through school and also giving her a good life.


    Meagan was sad about parting ways with her best friend but she had to ept the fact that it was meant to be and they had made a promise to never let distance ruin their rtionship. Meagan was lucky to find a job at Clevnd hospital, one of the best in the country where she worked as a medical doctor, monitoring, caring for patients, investigating, diagnosing and treating the health conditions of patients.


    Meagan and Hazel had stayed in contact through phone calls, text messages and social media sites. Although in the space of one year they had seen each other rarely but their friendship still continued.

 EPISODE 8 History of the wolves

    MOON STONE PACKContent ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    The full wolf moon is making its way down to the earth. A perfect week for the werewolves to throw a big party to wee the wolf moon. The full wolf moon ceremony was meant to be a celebratory time and stirring up energy in all the werewolves system. The festival runs for four days and on thest day all wolvese together for the moon ritual, howling into the moon praying to the moon goddess to replenish their kind.


    Wolves are rted to the moon for centuries, going right back to the Stone Age. This is the first time Meagan is attending the full moon celebration although she had been to the pack one or two times in the past.


    She remembered sneaking out at home on a holiday when her family traveled out of town which she made an excuse of studying for a quiz so she could stay back at home alone. Meagan never dared to tell her mom she was visiting a wolf pack. Mrs Taylor Swift doesn¡¯t like werewolves. Why? At first it was for no reason as she imed butter on Meagan got to know that her mom once dated a wolf who broke her heart and she has vowed never to like wolves.


    Meagan love the wolves, their styles of living enticed her and she got to know more about the species from Hazel. She could never hate them because of her best friend.


    Werewolves are special creatures. They hold their heads up towards the sky so their howl can carry on to longer distances. If there are no trees around, a wolf howl can carry on to ten miles. The wolves has been an incredible species in the history of the supernaturals. No other creatures has been very questionable as the wolves and one thing stayed steady through out the centuries, howling at the moon.


    Howling at the full wolf moon day is an opportunity for the wolves to celebrate in the wild. Sometimes their howling is a means ofmunication between their kind. There is also a mystical connection between wolf and moon. Werewolves are glorious and magnificent icons in the history of the supernaturals.


    Julius, Carl and Hazel had a discussion about the wedding date and the couple agreed to Carl¡¯s suggestion of having the wedding a day before the full moon day.


    The Halloween night was part of the program of the moon celebration, always held in the pack ballroom on a Thursday evening before the nned full wolf moon celebration on Sunday night. The wedding that was meant to be a small one was turning into a big party simply because of the moon celebration. Neighboring friends of moon stone pack who enjoy celebrating the moon festivals at the pack were present. Some packs had also joined this year to witness the celebration.


    Julius, the Beta of moon stone pack is the most famous among all Betas. He always step in to help the alpha. On many asions, Julius had represented the alpha at meetings with other alpha. And one of the reasons that contributed to his fame is the fact that he became a Beta at the age of eighteen. He has been a Beta even before Carl became the alpha of moon stone pack. The old Beta had fallen sick and he met his death at an early age which made Julius the next in line as a Beta. And Julius became the youngest werewolf to be a Beta in the history of the wolves.


    Many Betas has turned up to support Julius. Members of the wealthy ss, politicians, friends from college who Julius had kept in touch with were also present.


    Some of Hazel¡¯s ssmates from medical school, she knew the ones who had proved to be useful throughout the years, they also settled in for her wedding and also to witness the moon celebration.


    Hazel and Julius are a perfect match. Meagan thought. They are nice werewolves, cheerful which makes people naturally drawn to them. They both have an extroverted personality. Although Hazel has always been the impatient and hard hearted wolf which has made her have issues with her past boyfriends. But only Julius had been able to tame her nature. He knows how to handle her always in a passionate way.


    And Meagan was so happy that her best friend has finally found her better half. A dreame true for Hazel.


    The Halloween party was the kick off to a long days of nned events. It was a good time to have fun and get to meet new people. Halloween party is like a celebration to honor long gone icons in the supernatural world especially in the history of wolves.


    And Hazel had been thrilled by Carl¡¯s suggestion to have the wedding the same week as the moon celebration. And to Julius, he wanted something small but he soon realized that it is a great opportunity to have wealthy people invest in the local businesses of the pack members.

 EPISODE 9 Will he notice me?

    MOON STONE PACK


    Brianna adjusted her dress to disy more of her cleavage. She looked at Hazel.


    ¡°Hazel, do you think he¡¯ll notice me tonight?¡± She asked wistfully.


    Hazel walked back to Brianna. ¡°He can be unpredictable. But he¡¯s probably going to take one look at you in this sexy costume and his jaw will drop wide. Let¡¯s be hopeful. Butdies, how can any man not notice how beautiful Brianna looks tonight?¡± Hazel asked, looking at Meagan.


    ¡°I am sure he will be head over heels for you tonight.¡± Alice replied. She was more familiar with Brianna because she had lived in moon stone pack for about a year before moving to her own pack to take care of her sick mom.


    Meagan had no idea of who they were talking about. But she joined Alice in assuring Brianna that she was irresistible. And Meagan noticed the loyalty in Hazel¡¯s expression. It is definitely because Brianna would be a rtive soon. But whoever the object of Brianna¡¯s desire happened to be, he had better be wary of hurting her. Meagan thought.


    Brianna sighed as if signifying that it was already toote to keep her hopes high. ¡°He can¡¯t noticed me tonight.  Thest time we went out fighting off vampire rogues, he made it clear that he¡¯s not interested in me. He only sees me as a baby sister and a family. I don¡¯t want to think that I am wasting my time hoping that he¡¯ll change his mind.¡±


    ¡°Well I think he might change his mind tonight.¡± Hazel mumbled as she pat Brianna¡¯s shoulder de gently.


    With a sad smile on her face, Brianna shook her head slightly. ¡°I love him so much but-¡± her voice trailed off.


    ¡°I think he¡¯s a jerk for turning you down.¡± Meagan blurted out.


    Hazel and Brianna head snapped to look at Meagan. They were surprised that she had called their alpha a jerk. Hazel exchanged nces with Brianna and gave her a sign that Meagan doesn¡¯t know the alpha.


    ¡°He is not a jerk.¡± Alice countered also knowing that Meagan doesn¡¯t know about the person in question.


    ¡°He is so kind,passionate and thoughtful. I should have cried my eyes out when he said he wasn¡¯t interested in me but surprisingly I didn¡¯t shed a tear.¡± Brianna said with a shrug.


    ¡°Why?¡± Alice asked.


    ¡°I am not sure¡­¡± Brianna paused.


    Hazel spoke up. ¡°Maybe because he has showed you so much care than you have ever received from any man aside your brother.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know if that¡¯s the reason. Honestly I got hurt by his rejection. I thought he would see me differently after I came back to the pack but he still sees me as Julius younger sister. He made it clear that a rtionship is never going to work between us.¡± Brianna said.


    ¡°Don¡¯t give up, Brianna.¡± Alice said.


    Hazel nodded in agreement. ¡°Yes. And I just feel he is yet to get over what happened with Madison. And as far as I know he is still not seeing anyone.¡± She gave Brianna¡¯s hand a small squeeze.


    ¡°It has been five years now. He should have gotten over Madison.¡± Chloe, the make up artist added. She is also friends with Hazel.


    ¡°He said that he¡¯s over her now. All he wants to do is get busy with handling the tasks that concerns the pack.¡± Brianna sighed again.


    ¡°That¡¯s his responsibilities.¡± Hazel replied.


    Meagan lost interest in the conversation. She stood up from the chair already looking tired. Hazel recognized the look, she knew her best friend would rathery in bed having a good sleep than to be at a crowded party or even talking about men.


    Meagan Swift, twenty seven years old and the third child out of five siblings. Out of all the three Swift sisters, Meagan was the most determined to have her life wrapped around work only. The one who never enjoyed parties, music and fun. All she did was working hard at the hospital. She could barely remember whenst she had so much fun. She only feels a bit different from her usual self whenever Hazeles visiting. Her best friend was a living vibe machine.


    ¡°Are you okay?¡± Hazel asked.


    ¡°Yes.. I am fine.¡± Meagan forced a smile on her face.


    The make up artist finished touching up Alice face which made Meagan heave a sigh. They would be leaving for the party soon. The other bridesmaids agreed to meet at the ballroom on Hazel¡¯s instructions and no one dares to go against her. Only the bride gets to give out instructions because it is her moment.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    Ever since Meagan arrived at the pack, she had seen her best friend in her angry mood, arguing with the event nner,  screaming at the wolves working at the pack church, event hall and even the caterer just to put things in ce. Meagan had done moreforting in days than she has ever done in the past. And she knew it was a good idea to be close to Hazel just to keep everything calm.


    ¡°Now we are ready to show off our beautiful faces!¡± Alice giggled as she whirled around checking herself in the mirror.


    ¡°Let¡¯s have fun tonight,dies!¡± Brianna cheered with her chin lifting in happiness and determination to get the alpha drooling over her tonight.


    Hazel led thedies out of the dressing room and they charged towards the pack ballroom.

 EPISODE 10 Allison the witch of Maridom

    MOON STONE PACK


    Hazel led the girls out of the dressing room and they charged towards the pack ballroom. The minute thedies stepped into the noisy decorated ballroom, they were swept into the weing crowd of people dressed in all sorts of costume.


    ¡°Brenda!¡± Hazel screamed when she saw a familiar face forgetting about her best friend that didn¡¯t know her way around the ballroom.


    Meagan heaved a sigh as she looked around the decorated pack ballroom that was packed, leaving a smallish opening for a dance floor at one end near the DJ stand. The room was filled with humans and mostly werewolves in different colors and styles of costumes.


    ¡°The ballroom will be fully packed tonight. Why? The moon celebration week plus the Beta¡¯s wedding! I am so excited!¡± Brianna, thedy who Meagan just met had rattled on yesterday about how many people would be present at the event tonight.


    At first Meagan had thought Brianna had exaggerated about how many guests would be in attendance tonight but she was right. Everywhere Meagan stepped had people standing close by that she had to push her way through.


    The festival was going fine and it had already started because they arrivedte. The music was loud, the tablesden with plenty food, the booze free flowing and everyone seemed to be having a good time. Meagan¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t trace where her best friend and Brianna stood, but they had absorbed into the crowd to their friends. Well, they are used to this lifestyle and people around here since she was the only who isn¡¯t a member of the pack between them.


    A server pressed a mixed drink into Meagan¡¯s hand and she sipped it while her eyes was still surveying the creativity of costumes in the room. The atmosphere spells ¨C Halloween under the deem lighting and colored lights flickered around the room. Every individual blended into a chit-chat andughters in groups but Meagan seemed to be the only one standing without partner. Her present job was telling the type of costume on each person, she could recognize them all. Starting from Harlequin, joker, Drac, fairy godmother, Bartholomew the scientist, Dragon King Darius, witches, vampires, pirates and other memorable icons in the shadowy room.


    Meagan adjusted her mask as ady dressed in a Korean style queen mother passed by her with a smile on her face. She frowned at an alligator flirting with a peacock but soon found herself chuckling at thebination. Alligator and a proud peacock. Meagan swallowed a bit of the liquid before lowering her ss.


    ¡°Mom would have loved this ce¡­maybe I should have invited them all especially Collins who likes the spirit of Halloween, Penelope who would love to see a man dressed in a vampire outfit or Benjamin who is eager to get married. This is the best ce and everyone would love to be here.¡± Meagan mumbled to no one in particr.


    ¡°Your family would have loved to be here?¡± A masculine voice said behind her.


    Immediately Meagan turned surprised that someone had heard her mumbling to herself amidst themotion and loud music. Her gaze locked with a tall handsome man, his hair packed in a bun style, his wrestlers shoulders were part of his muscr physique and his well chiseled chest was bare only a double crossed whip on him. He had a dark bristly mustache, dressed in a khaki pant and ck leather boots with detachable whips dangling from the belt on both sides. Meagan recognized his outfit.


    ¡°Warlord Baron?¡± Meagan said.


    He walked majestically towards her. ¡°Yes ma¡¯am.¡± He smiled revealing his white teeth and a deep dent on both sides of his cheeks.


    Meagan¡¯s breath caught as she took in more of his features. His crescent moon eyebrows were thin and narrow, Irish eyes that looked soft and dangerous at the same time and a defined cheekbone. He was tall, a lot taller than her even on heels. He had a charisma that would make any woman enticed by him. He was charismatic perfect and the aura of authority hovered around him. His domineering attitude wasn¡¯t just from the costume he had in but seen from the way he stood, looking straight into her eyes without breaking the eye contact even as she tried to step backward a bit.


    Meagan got a closer look at the man standing in front of her when a bright light shed on for a few seconds. He had a very nice face. She admitted.


    ¡°I was saying that would your family have really loved to be here?¡± He repeated.


    Oh! Meagan remembered that he had asked a question but she had been busy checking him out. She cleared her throat before answering him. ¡°Yeah. My dad loves parties, my brother always look forward to the season of halloween and -¡± she stopped talking after figuring that it seemed like she was bbing.


    The stranger waited for her toplete her words as he arched his eyebrows. ¡°My mom doesn¡¯t like wolves.¡± Shepleted her unintended statement to end the conversation abruptly.


    He chuckled, while Meagan took another quick sip of her drink. ¡°I can tell you are human.¡± He said.


    She nodded her head in agreement. ¡°It is not offensive for you kind to not like wolves. But trust me wolves don¡¯t mean any harm to the humans.¡± He smiled.


    Meagan realized that this charming man is even more attractive when he smiled, revealing the dimples at the corners of his lips. She pushed back whatever thoughts that tried to form in her mind about this man.


    ¡°I am done with men.¡± She chanted in her mind.


    ¡°Your costume -¡± he lowered his gaze to examine her outfit. ¡°Are you portraying Allison the witch of Maridom?¡± He asked to be sure.


    Meagan tried not to follow his gaze down to the parts of her body that were revealing. She adjusted the stuffed toy cat and wand, bncing the ss on her other hand. The movement was to make him stop staring at her slightly exposed body.


    ¡°Allison is my favorite icon.¡± She shook her head in agreement to his question.


    ¡°Although I didn¡¯t get to see Allison but through pictures I have seen, I can say that you look stunning than she ever did in her familiar outfits.¡± Hemented, his deep tone intensified the tingles quivering over her at the sight of him.


    ¡°Thank you. And you don¡¯t look bad either in the warlord costume.¡± She swallowed another gulp of drink.


    His body looked like he was made to wear the warlord costume. Meagan studied his bare chest through hershes.


    ¡°Is the drink that good?¡± He asked noticing that all she did was have a drink. A sign to tell him to back off that she wasn¡¯t interested in having a conversation with him.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    Meagan lowered the empty ss and dropped it in the tray when a server passed by. ¡°The drink¡­ was very good.¡± She stuttered.


    ¡°Do you mind eating some snacks? There are a lot of them on those table across the room.¡± He requested.


    Meagan met his gaze but soon looked away quickly.


    ¡°Would you like to join me on a snack tour, Allison?¡± He asked again.


    Meagan was surprised by what he just called her. ¡°Allison?¡± She arched an eyebrow.


    He chuckled. ¡°It seems like a perfect name to call a seer and fortune teller.¡± He said with a shrug.


    He could just make things simple for himself by asking for her name. Meagan did a good job at hiding her smile.

 EPISODE 11 The beautiful garden

    MOON STONE PACK


    Meagan did a good job at hiding her smile pleased that he didn¡¯t ask for her name.


    ¡°Come with me, Allison.¡± He said curving his arm for her to slip her arm around it.


    Meagan hesitated only for some seconds. But she couldn¡¯t decline his offer because he was polite enough.


    ¡°Alright, I will go on a snack tour with you, warlord Baron.¡± She tucked her arm beneath his waiting arm.


    ¡°You can also try to tell me what my future entails after we eat.¡± He joked.


    Meagan couldn¡¯t hold back a giggle. ¡°Don¡¯t forget that I am only a human with no superpowers.¡±


    ¡°Some humans can do palm reading just by looking at the tiny lines on it.¡± He showed her hisrge hands.


    Meagan tried not to think of him holding hands with her. ¡°Okay.¡± She replied. And not too long he dropped their arms and flexed his hand into her small hands. She felt her heart skip a beat as his fingers locked with her fingers. It sent more tingling feelings deep down in her belly.


    ¡°Almost there.¡± He pointed at the tableden with lots of food.


    The way he carried himself showed that he was in a good physical condition. His athletic steps and attitude befits his choice of costume as if he was born to wear it. There was something strange about this man that Meagan found strange just from the great effect he has on her in few minutes of conversing with him.


    They made their way through the crowd as they approached the table. Three women waved at him and he also nodded familiarly to other people as they walked by. People seem to recognize him, it was as if they had expected to see him looking so hot and sexy for the party.


    ¡°Hi gorgeous.¡± A man said as he passed by Meagan and his friendsughed as they walked ahead. ¡°She¡¯s so pretty.¡± Someoneplimented.


    ¡°I wasn¡¯t trying to tter you when I said the costume looked good on you.¡± He let go of her hand when they reached the table.


    Meagan just simply smiled. ¡°There are lots of food.¡± She pointed at the table.


    ¡°I told you.¡± He mouthed, his lips curling up as it revealed the dimples again.


    He moved closer to her, his bare arm brushed her exposed upper arm. Sexual tension ripped down her spine in response to the contact and their gaze locked. It seemed like it was just the two of them in the ballroom, she couldn¡¯t figure out why her whole body was reacting to everything about this man.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Is there anything you want?¡± He asked without breaking the eye contact.


    Meagan cleared his throat silently. ¡°Yes¡­¡± she nced down at the long table.


    She shouldn¡¯t be flirting with a total stranger. Meagan warned herself.


    ¡°I¡¯ll have more drink and cupcakes first.¡± Meagan walked over to the table that disyed a selection of drinks. She took a ss from the server as allowed him pour her a drink.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    ¡°We can start the tour with a drink anyways.¡± He chuckled.


    Meagan drank from the ss and the drink tasted so good as it flowed down her throat. ¡°This tastes¡­ so good. You should try this, warlord Baron.¡± She suggested.


    And while she looked down to pluck at a cupcake he reached for her ss. She looked straight into his eyes as he lifted the ss to his mouth and sipped from the exact ce her lips had touched.


    ¡°This is good.¡± Hemented.


    This man was indeed flirting with her. She concluded.


    Meagan snatched the ss back from him. ¡°You should get yours.¡±


    He smiled and gestured to the server to give him a drink too. Silently he watched her as she emptied the whole ss. She dropped the ss on the table and reach out to take a te.


    ¡°Ready to have some real food?¡± He stood closer to her again so she could hear him over the loud music.


    Meagan nodded as she put food into her te. He eyed the small portion she served.


    ¡°Is that enough?¡± He asked.


    ¡°This should do for a few hours.¡± Meagan replied.


    He dropped the ss and added more food to her te. ¡°You should eat more.¡±


    ¡°No.. no.. that¡¯s enough. I.. I.. don¡¯t eat much.¡± Meagan held his wrist but she let go as if he had burned her when he looked into her eyes. She figured that just an eye contact was making her wet her panties.


    ¡°Alright.¡± He stopped to also fill his own te with food.


    More people joined the table to get food while they turned away from the table.


    ¡°Where should we sit?¡± Meagan asked as she peered at where seats were arranged. It was filled up and she winced when they passed by the speaker booming with loud music.


    ¡°Everywhere is packed but I think I know a better ce. Follow me, Allison.¡± He said making a turn to a less crowded area.


    Meagan followed closely behind him as they made their way through the costumed partygoers. They reached a silent hallway and then he slipped through a door as it led out to a garden.


    Meagan loved the view almost immediately as her eyes scanned the area. The garden was beautiful with colorful flowers. It was small, quiet and fenced. There was a bench close to a fountain in the center of the garden. Meagan was surprised to find out that they were the only one in the garden but somehow she feltfortable being alone with this stranger.


    ¡°This ce is so cool.¡± She said.


    He nodded in agreement. ¡°Yes, the garden is beautiful. We can eat here in peace although there is no table.¡±


    ¡°No it¡¯s alright. I can bnce my te on my knees.¡± Meagan answered.


    ¡°Alright, If you don¡¯t mind.¡± He chuckled and they sank into the bench.


    Meagan tried not to spill her when she set it down on the bench. He left enough space between them when he sat beside her so she won¡¯t feel ufortable. She ate a shrimp, savoring the taste in her mouth as she sighed in satisfaction.


    ¡°Good shrimps.¡± She mumbled.


    ¡°There are great cooks in this pack.¡± He replied.


    ¡°Well this is a god meal. I can¡¯t remember thest time I had shrimps. It has been so long.¡± Meagan said.


    ¡°You should taste this tart too.¡± He dropped some in her te before dabbling a napkin over his mouth.


    Meagan was surprised by the gesture. He was so free and calm with her as if he had known her for long or maybe she is so old fashioned now? Perhaps do people act this way around each other at first meeting? She wondered.


    Meagan couldn¡¯t find answers to her questions. But one thing stayed on her mind, she didn¡¯t want to know anything about him. His name, family background, type of job or whatever that concerns him because a serious conversation with him would definitely lead to other topics that concerns her life. Although she was curious about knowing him but thest thing she ever wanted was getting close to any man again. She would rather savor this moment by acting as Allison the witch of Maridom and not Meagan Swift.


    ¡°Come on taste the tart,¡± he picked up her spoon and ce the tart to her mouth in a bid to feed her.

 EPISODE 12 Will you find me?

    MOON STONE PACK


    ¡°Come on taste the tart,¡± he picked up her spoon and ce the tart to her mouth in a bid to feed her. ¡°It tastes really good.¡± He added still holding the spoon to her lips.


    Her gaze met with his and she let him feed her. ¡°How is it?¡± He asked, his voice low but deep.


    ¡°Hmm.. it tastes very good.¡± Shemented.


    ¡°Enjoy it.¡± He said still looking into her her eyes. He touched his fingertips to the corners of her mouth to wipe the spilled food.


    Meagan felt the contact sending tingles through her system again. With his face closer to her lips, she could feel his intense gaze on her. This shouldn¡¯t be happening. She wasn¡¯t ready for such reaction but her body kept betraying her at every touch from this man. Meagan moved away from him.


    ¡°Warlord Baron, are you trying to flirt with me?¡± She asked with a raised eyebrows.


    He repositioned himself and a richughter erupted from him. Meagan was a bit embarrassed by theughter as a response to her question. Meagan thought she had sounded so old.


    Theughter faded soon, his gaze locking hers. ¡°If that¡¯s how you see it, Allison.¡± He replied.


    Meagan avoided his gaze. ¡°Rx, I don¡¯t mean any harm. And by the way my name is Carl.¡± He introduced.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    Now she knows his name and without thinking over her earlier decision she said. ¡°Meagan.¡±


    Carl grinned to acknowledge the fact that they are now one step ahead. ¡°It¡¯s nice to meet you, Meagan.¡±


    ¡°Likewise.¡± She set her te aside and sipped from the drink.


    Meagan concluded that she should get back to the party to find Hazel before she threatens to take off her head again for not participating in games she has nned for the bridesmaids. Hazel was already wondering about her best friend¡¯s whereabouts.


    Meagan stood up to leave. ¡°I should get back inside.¡±


    Carl looked up at her. ¡°Do I make you feel ufortable?¡± He asked.


    She looked down at him through her longshes. ¡°No.. no.. don¡¯t get me wrong.¡± She didn¡¯t want to disclose it to him that she was associated with the bride so he won¡¯te finding her again after tonight.


    She was still on her mask so he would have a bit of a problem recognizing her if perhaps they meet again. But Meagan didn¡¯t know that Carl knew her. He has heard so much about her from her best friend who tagged her as the best human in the world. He would have met her before now when Julius suggested it but he had declined. He saw her sliding out of the car the first day Julius drove her into the pack but she didn¡¯t see him. Carl hasn¡¯t seen her for days until tonight because he has been too busy preparing for the week. And the first thing he did when he came to the ballroom was looking for her. Carl couldn¡¯t find her until he saw Hazel, Julius asked of her and his bride said she was somewhere around then he knew she was present for the Halloween party.


    ¡°You don¡¯t make me ufortable.¡± Meagan said.


    ¡°So if I don¡¯t make you feel Ifortable then stay extra time with me. You can read my palms to tell my future.¡± He didn¡¯t want her to leave just yet.


    Meagan enjoyed hispany but she doesn¡¯t want anything else with him. ¡°Alright. I am just going to read your palm.¡± She sat back on the bench and stretched his hand towards her.


    Meagan traced her fingertips on hisrge palms pretending to see his future.


    ¡°I can see more wars to be conquered, Warlord Baron. And your enemies shall fall at your feet. I see sess too.¡± She said.


    Carl¡¯s lips twitched as he studied her closely. He wished she could take off the mask. But he knew beneath the mask was a beautiful face.


    ¡°I have survived many wars.¡± He replied.


    ¡°I can see that you are a great man and you will always seed in whatever challenges you take on.¡± She assured him depicting her favorite icon.


    Actually Carl knew she was right about everything. He has never been defeated by his enemies since he became the alpha. Ten years reigning as the alpha of moon stone pack, Carl has been victorious. He looked pleased by her words.


    ¡°Allison¡¯s traits looks good on you.¡± He joked.


    Meagan let out a giggle at his words. ¡°I just read out few lines from her history to you. The story of how Allison fell in love with a warlord, those are the words she said to him on their first meeting.¡± She said.


    Maybe Allison¡¯s traits really suits her because the same story was about to repeat itself. And they have an understanding of it. Allison didn¡¯t end up with the warlord although they had a fling together for some nights. But the warlord left for his kingdom again and Allison went her way too because none of them could give up their paths of survival to be with the other.


    ¡°So how about a dance with me?¡± Carl asked in a light tone after some seconds of absolute silence.


    A cool breeze toyed with her hair. Meagan would have loved the idea of being held in those strong arms and nestling against his broad chest but she wasn¡¯t going to back down on her decision. She wasn¡¯t going to let her built up walls crumble down because of this man.


    ¡°I don¡¯t-¡± she was about rejecting him but was cut off when the doors opened up.


    An alligator and peacock walked into the garden. Meagan had seen them earlier and it was obvious they were out here to make out.


    ¡°Allison-¡°The drunk peacock recognized the costume even in the dark with moonlight providing brightness. She rushed towards Meagan. ¡°I.. I.. can recognize this costume.. anywhere.¡± She said drunkly lstil holding a ss in her hand.


    The alligator tried to caution her on seeing the alpha but she didn¡¯t pay attention to him. She was focused on Meagan. ¡°Read my future.. please.. do I have a chance with this alligator?¡± She giggled and stuck out both palms towards Meagan.


    ¡°No.. I can¡¯t read-¡± And before shepleted her words the peacock missed a step and ended up pouring her drink over Meagan.


    ¡°Helen!¡± The alligator tried to help her up. He felt embarrassed in front of the alpha because he wasn¡¯t a member of moon stone pack. As a visitors in the pack, they shouldn¡¯t go about causing a mess.


    Meagan stood up while Carl grabbed a napkin to help her wipe her dress.


    ¡°I am sorry¡­¡± the alligator apologized bowing his head as he dragged the peacock away.


    ¡°Sorry¡­ Allison!¡± The peacock screamed. She was drunk.


    Meagan caught Carl¡¯s wrist when he tried to wipe her exposed skin. ¡°Thank you.¡± She looked down at the mess. ¡°I¡¯ll get it off.. myself in thedies toilet.¡±


    Carl realized that he has been too touchy with her. ¡°I am sorry.¡± He apologized.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright. I¡¯ll go ahead now.¡± Meagan walked away.


    ¡°Meagan-¡± he called and she stopped at the door.


    ¡°Will you find me when you are done?¡± Carl asked.


    He definitely won¡¯t be out here sitting around waiting for her right? Meagan has no ns of seeing him again tonight.


    She didn¡¯t look at him. ¡°I¡¯ll try.¡± She replied.


    Carl grinned. ¡°Alright. Please go ahead.¡±


    Meagan continued and went back into the ballroom. She made her way through the crowd again and she asked a vampire for direction to thedies toilet. When Meagan finished cleaning herself up in the toilet, she find her way back to the ballroom concluding that she doesn¡¯t want to see Carl anymore. But she has to look for Hazel to let her know she was heading back to the guest house reserved for some bridesmaids who didn¡¯t have a home in the pack. Although Meagan also has a chance of sleeping over at her best friend¡¯s home. A studio apartment was given out to some iotas working at the pack infirmary.


    Tonight Meagan preferred to sleep at the guest house because she wanted to be alone. And soon she bumped into Hazel when she almost gave up on the search.


    ¡°Hey Meagan!¡± Hazel screamed.


    ¡°Hazel.¡±


    ¡°Where have you been? I looked everywhere for you.¡± Hazelined.


    ¡°I.. I have just been around.. enjoying the view. Lovely and colorful costumes everywhere.¡± Meagan smiled.


    Hazel¡¯s eyes drifted down to her chest. ¡°What happened to your dress?¡± She pointed to the wet spot on the outfit.


    ¡°Oh this.. a drunk peacock spilled drink on me. Don¡¯t worry I have cleaned it off.¡± Meagan answered.


    ¡°Come with me, I want to introduce you to some of my friends and we still have so much games to y.¡± Hazel grabbed Meagan¡¯s wrist almost dragging her away but Meagan stopped her.


    ¡°Can you spare me tonight?¡± Meagan¡¯s eyes pleaded with her best friend.


    ¡°You are tired right?¡± Hazel asked with concern in her face.


    ¡°Yes.. I am starting to feel a slight pain in my head plus this heels are making my ankles weak.¡± Meagan replied.


    ¡°Should I get you medications?¡± Hazel reached forward to touch her forehead. ¡°You are burning up.¡±


    ¡°No, I¡¯ll be fine after having enough rest.¡± Meagan countered.


    ¡°Okay if you insist, just go ahead and rest at the guesthouse. I¡¯ll check on you when the party is over.¡± Hazel pushed her best friend gently towards the door.


    ¡°Alright. Bye Hazel.¡± Meagan smiled at her friend before slipping out of the ballroom.

 EPISODE 13 Coincidence of Fate?

    MOON STONE PACK


    NEXT DAY


    Meagan sat on the bed reading a book online. She has been up since 6:30 a. m and hasn¡¯t been able to sleep back. She assumed that her body was now ustomed to being fully awake around this time. If Meagan wasn¡¯t on leave she would be at work by this time attending to patients. She had dialed Hazel¡¯s number earlier to remind her about the visit to the pool which was Meagan¡¯s favorite ce in the pack. But Hazel didn¡¯t pick up her call. She was still asleep, tired fromst night halloween party. All the more reason why Meagan settled to read a book.


    At 10:00 a. m Meagan¡¯s phone beeped a message from Brianna.


    ¡°Hi best friend, it¡¯s Hazel but I am texting with Brianna¡¯s phone because my phone is down. Please make it down to Julius home for breakfast.¡±


    Meagan sighed after reading the message. She hopped out of bed to change into a jean and big polo. She grabbed her phone dropped it into a small bag that she crossed over her chest and she headed out of the room. Meagan greeted somedies in the hallway as she made her way to the beta¡¯s home.


    Fifteen minutester, Meagan realized that she has been walking in circles. She couldn¡¯t find her way to the beta¡¯s home.


    ¡°How did I end up walking the same area over and over again?¡± Meagan mumbled to herself as her eyes scanned the area. She was standing in front of a small house with no wolf or human lurking around. It was just her.


    Meagan had missed her way right from when she walked into an alley, crossing to arge where several wolves were training.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    ¡°Am I beginning to forget things so easily?¡± She grumbled.


    Meagan thought the training ground would lead her to the beta¡¯s home so she didn¡¯t bother asking any of the wolves for direction.


    ¡°All the houses here look so alike.¡± Meagan stamped her feet deciding to trace back her steps by asking for directions from whoever was in the house.


    She had visited several ces with Hazel since she got to the pack. And there are still more ces she haven¡¯t checked out. Meagan had tried Brianna¡¯s number but it was switched off and same goes with Julius and Hazel. Power has been out in the whole pack since dawn.


    She wondered why this house was the only house in this area. She knocked once but got response.


    ¡°Maybe no one is home.¡± She sighed in frustration after knocking the second time.


    ¡°I should go back to the training ground.¡± She turned away to leave but the door opened.


    Meagan stopped on track and turned to look at whoever was at the door and her eyes widened in surprise. Just when she though she would never see him again, but he was right here staring into her eyes. ¡°Should I run? Should I pretend like I don¡¯t know him?¡± Meagan thought.


    And she picked thetter choice. She would pretend to not know him. ¡°But what about my voice?¡± She pondered.


    ¡°Allison? We metst night right? I am sure of it, you are the fortune teller!¡± Carl said surprised to see her around here but also excited.


    ¡°Hi,¡± Meagan greeted.


    She concluded that doing any of those options won¡¯t help her out. He recognized her despite the fact that she was on maskst night. Slowly she started back towards him.


    ¡°It¡¯s good to see you again.¡± Carl smiled, almost making her heart race again.


    ¡°Do you live here?¡± Meagan asked.


    ¡°Oh yes.. I stay here as a native of moon stone pack.¡± Carl didn¡¯t want to tell her about his position at the pack because he felt like it might scare her away.


    ¡°Would you like toe in?¡± Carl asked.


    Meagan arched her eyebrows, her mind telling her to decline the offer and she should leave immediately. But another look at this man she had only metst night, looking so hot and sexy in the denim jeans and body hug too with his hair still a bit wet as if he just stepped out of shower made it hard to decline the offer. Meagan had two choices,e up with an excuse and leave or go into his house and continue the fantasy story that was ying out in her head.


    Carl waited for her response as she got lost in thought. He took that chance to study her closely. He didn¡¯t get to admire her featuresst night but now was the right time to do so. He wondered how she ended up right in front of his home.


    Meagan has a sculpted figure and thin waist and a dazzlingplexion. Her long Kohl ck hair flowed over her shoulder down to her back. A pair of arched eyebrows, long eyshes and a delicate brown eyes stared back at him. She was beautiful.


    ¡°Allison? Would you like toe in for a conversation?¡± Carl repeated snapping her out of thought.


    ¡°I don¡¯t mind.¡± Meagan smiled exposing her white angel like teeth.


    She epted the offer! ¡°What are you doing, Meagan?¡± She asked herself.


    She was going into the house of the man that just his smile had made her heart raced and her kneels grew weak at the thought of being close to him. And before Meagan went to bedst night, she had pictured his gleaming eyes and smile. It seemed like he waspelling her to go against her rules.


    ¡°Pleasee in.¡± Carl opened the door wide for her to step into his mini t.


    He had built this small apartment two years ago. A ce he called his resting abode. Carles here anytime he is a bit free from dealing with pack affairs. He wasn¡¯t there now because he needed rest but because the pack mansion was full with his distant rtives who came around to witness the moon celebration and also the beta¡¯s wedding.


    Meagan¡¯s eyes surveyed the sitting room. It was a luxury. The green couch, therge sma television, art works that she recognized to worth thousands of dors and other things that are called ancient artifacts.


    ¡°Nice apartment.¡± Meaganmented.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Carl replied. ¡°Please take a seat.¡± He gestured to her to sit down on one of the couches and she did.


    ¡°It¡¯s really nice to have you around. How did you stumbled into this area because you look lost earlier?¡± Carl asked.


    ¡°I needed to find my friend to have breakfast but I lost my way.¡± Meagan answered silently praying that he doesn¡¯t ask anymore questions but he did.


    ¡°May I know your friend¡¯s name? I mean.. I can help you find her house after a conversation.¡± Carl pressed the remote to put on the television.


    Meagan didn¡¯t see any reason to hide her friend from him anymore since she looked like a lost puppy.


    ¡°She is the bride so I am supposed to meet her at the beta¡¯s home.¡± Meagan answered.


    Carl looked at her. ¡°Alright.¡±

 EPISODE 14 Same interests

    MOON STONE PACK


    Meagan expected that he would be surprised that she was friends with the bride and beta of the pack since he is a native. But he showed no expression aside a smirk on his lips.


    ¡°Did you manage to get the drink off your dressst night?¡± Carl sat on another couch facing her directly.


    He knew all along that she was trying to push him away and stop him from getting to know her. All the more reasons why he was ying dumb about not knowing her.


    ¡°Yeah.. although it wasn¡¯t easy finding thedies toilet.¡± Somehow it seemed pleasant and natural chatting with him.


    ¡°And it wasn¡¯t hard finding your friend?¡± Carl grinned.


    ¡°Yes¡­ she found me.¡± Meagan replied.


    ¡°So that only means that you didn¡¯t try to find me.¡± Carl crossed his legs over the other.


    After she left him in the garden, he had picked up their tes back into the ballroom. Carl had more conversations with his friends, family and high ranking wolves with the hope of running into Meagan again. He had tried to leave the ballroom to find her elsewhere but he couldn¡¯t make an escape from conversations. Everyone was interested in knowing about the progress of the pack. Carl would say a few words and refer them to his beta.


    Brianna had also taken her turn to dance with him in a bid to show off her beauty. The situation with Brianna was bing too awkward for Carl, he knew she had dressed up to impress him and she won¡¯t stop until she gets what she wanted from him. And once again Carl reminded her that he doesn¡¯t foresee his feelings ever developing into something more serious. He made it clear in a considerate manner so she won¡¯t get hurt by his rejection. He had picked the right words with the hope that she would ept the fact that they can never be together.


    Carl became tired and he sighed in relief when he found an escape n using his cousin, Jeremy as the best way to leave the ballroom. Carl came straight to his home to have a good night rest dreaming about the beautiful witch and fortune teller he had met.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    ¡°I am sorry. I got tired of the loud music and needed to rest.¡± Meagan apologized.


    ¡°I understand.¡± Carl had felt that way too when he couldn¡¯t find her in the ballroom. But all that matters is that she is right here in his home.


    ¡°I should get you something.¡± Carl stood up.


    ¡°No.. no.. I am fine. I-¡± Her stomach made a grumbling sound.


    ¡°I prepared bacon and egg, would you like some?¡± Carl asked.


    He had prepared an extra te because Julius would visit him soon so they would discuss about the wedding preparation.


    Meagan smiled at him from beneath her thickshes. ¡°Yes.¡±


    Carl grinned. ¡°Come with me.¡± He said and she followed him into the kitchen.


    Meagan positioned herself on the stool as Carl worked his way around the kitchen to dish their food. He grabbed two sses and a bottle of champagne from the fridge and set it on the ind.


    ¡°This is a good one, all the way from Italy.¡± Meagan pointed to the champagne.


    ¡°You seem to know so much about wine.¡± He passed her a te of bacon and scrambled eggs.


    ¡°Yes.. my dad has a whole collection of wines in the house. He thought me how to drink .¡± Meagan said as she munched on the bacon.


    ¡°That¡¯s good to hear. My mom is so good at telling all kinds of wines but my dad preferred beer. Don¡¯t ask me why because he never told me his reason.¡± Carl said with a shrug. He poured champagne into the sses before settling down in the second stool beside her.


    ¡°Do you like whiskey?¡± Meagan asked.


    ¡°No I prefer a shot of tequ.¡± Carl answered.


    Meagan nced at him. ¡°We seem to have the same interests in drinks.¡±


    ¡°Maybe.¡± Carl chuckled.


    ¡°I envy you wolves.¡± Meagan spoke up after some seconds of silence.


    ¡°Why?¡± Carl asked.


    ¡°You can take so much alcohol as you want without getting drunk.¡± Meagan tasted the champagne.


    ¡°There is a limit in every wolf. Some wolves are lightheaded just like some humans and they can¡¯t take too much alcohol. And it tends to weaken their wolves but there are rare cases of such though.¡± Carl exined.


    ¡°Yes I know, my friend did a good job at telling me so much about her kind. She is the reason why I like wolves.¡± Meagan looked at him again.


    Carl took a closer look at her as she smiled at him again. ¡°You must be very close to the bride.¡±


    Meagan had a very nice mouth. A heart shaped lips and a set of white teeth. He wanted to know what it feels to taste her lips. Although Carl knew he would never be contented with just a kiss from her.


    ¡°Yes.. she is my best friend. We have been together since we were little girls.¡± Meagan looked away to take another bite of bacon.


    Meagan knew she had to stop saying too much or else they would dive into more serious conversation.


    Carl has an earful from Hazel about her human best friend. And it got to a point where Julius thought Hazel cherished Meagan more than her mate.


    ¡°We didn¡¯t get to dance togetherst night.¡± Carl stood up to drop his tes into the sink.


    ¡°The peacock ruined our chance.¡± Meagan muttered pushing her te away. She was full even though she didn¡¯t finish eating the little bacon and egg he had served her.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t want to dance with me, Allison. You were about turning me down when the peacock and alligator busted in on us.¡± Carl drank from his ss.


    He was right. She wanted to turn him down. ¡°I am sorry.¡± Meagan apologized.


    ¡°Allison, you have to stop apologizing for nothing. But if you feel bad for almost turning me down then you should make it up to me.¡± Carl set his ss back on the ind.


    Meagan arched her eyes brows. ¡°How can I make it up to you?¡± She asked.


    ¡°Dance with me.¡± Carl poured more champagne into their sses.


    ¡°The Halloween night is over.¡± She said.


    ¡°I have some old school music on my phone, all I need to do is connect it with my boom box then we have a dance. What do you think?¡± He requested holding her gaze.


    ¡°Alright.¡± Meagan answered with a faint smile on her face.

 EPISODE 15 Sealing a challenge

    MOON STONE PACK


    Carl smiled, covered his hand with hers and he pulled her out of the kitchen to the sitting room. He reached out to his cellphone on the couch and made a connection to a boom box. He reduced the volume as the music started.


    Meagan recognized the old music. ¡°We are strangers.¡± She murmured.


    ¡°My favorite music way back in the 90¡¯s.¡± Carl chuckled as he led her to an open space that was enough for them to dance.


    ¡°I love this music.¡± Meagan said.


    ¡°Can I have this dance, mydy?¡± Carl gave her a mock bow while Meagan giggled.


    ¡°Yes, Warlord Baron. Let us get carried away and not waste a good music.¡± Meagan repeated the lines from Allison¡¯s history.


    Carl held out his hand to her and she took it. He pulled her closer to his chest and her palmsnded on his solid chest. His gaze lingered to her lips as they began to sway to the slow music.


    ¡°You smile nice.¡± Carlmented causing her to stiffen almost immediately.¡±Rx.¡± He whispered.


    She kept bringing out a flirtatious side of him he never knew. It has been long since Carl yed this way or even have fun with a woman. After the break up with Madison, he got swamped with responsibilities that concerns the smooth running of the pack. There has never been time for him to y with women. He could only remember paying off two men to relieve himself of sexual frustration thest two times he was out of the pack on different purposes. He wasn¡¯t the type of alpha that would go around sleeping with single wolves in his pack.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Meagan held his gaze and he saw the sparkle of desires in her eyes.


    Meagan loved the moments she shared with him but something was holding her back. Carl knew she was holding back but he didn¡¯t want to find out from her so she won¡¯t feel pressured and ufortable.


    ¡°Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are and how tempting your lips looks? I mean standing so close to you this way.¡± Carl whispered into her ears as his hands dropped to her waist.


    Meagan felt his touch as if fire was burning up in her whole system. His words and voice were making her panties soaking wet. She was finding it hard to think logically.


    ¡°You are so bold, Warlord Baron. Trying to flirt with me again. Did you invite me in for just a conversation? A dance? Or you have something else in mind?¡± Meagan asked as her fingers traced his solid chest still moving to the rhythm.


    ¡°I had many thoughts in my mind. You don¡¯t want to know but this is fun right?¡± Carl smirked.


    It was flirty and fun and she couldn¡¯t deny that she was enjoying it. Her heartbeat rate elerated as he stared intently into her eyes. This man was making her hormones crazy and she might lose her mind soon.


    Carl fingers began to trace her back gently. She felt tingles shooting into her system and her core clenched at his touch. Carl had intended to keep things casual but the more he held her the harder it bes for him to hold back.


    Megan¡¯s hands moved up to his neck still locking an eye contact with him. ¡°You are going to lose at this battle you just started, warlord Baron.¡± Meagan murmured.


    ¡°You toldst night that I would always seed in all challenges I take on, Allison. And it also turned out that I always get what I want.¡± He grinned.


    ¡°Do you think I am one? I mean a challenge.¡± Meagan asked.


    ¡°I think you might be one to me if you decide to y hard to get.¡± Carl said in a rasp staring into her eyes.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    ¡°We should seal this challenge with something more-¡±


    He brought his lips down on hers cutting off her words. Her honey sweet lips opened up to him. She tasted just the way he had predicted. Meagan was about suggesting a kiss just like how Allison had yed with the warlord. She wondered why her life was ying out just like her favorite icon. Is history about to repeat itself again?


    Carl¡¯s strong hands slipped down to her back to im her hips as he lifted her up to wrap her legs around his waist. He deepened the kiss, with his tongue pushing out into her mouth and she weed him. It became a passionate hot kiss that didn¡¯t want to end. He started towards the couch and positioned himself to sit with Meagan bncing right on hisps..


    It was bing too hard for him to stop the kiss. His hand slid into her big polo to unhook her bra without breaking off the kiss. He pinched her nipples and she let out a soft moan into his mouth. She broke off the kiss to pull the polo over her head. Carl let out a gasp at the sight of her full and big breasts. ¡°So beautiful..¡± His lips came down to suck at a nipple and his other hand toyed with the other nipple. She threw her head back and groaned.


    The slow music ended and started over again. Meagan knew it was wrong of her to do this with a man she barely knew but she was living her life in this fantasy. It has been so long since she has been with a man. Maybe this is why her body was reacting to every of his touch. She concluded in her head.


    Meagan moaned as Carl sucked on her two hard nipples. This feeling was hitting differently in her and she wanted more of it. She drew him back, making it clear that she wanted to keep kissing him. Carl kissed her mouth, his hands massaging her breasts while her hands locked in his hair. He changed position andy her back on the couch.


    Meagan could feel the hard bulge in his jeans as he pressed himself on her gently. If they didn¡¯t stop then this man would make love to her right there.


    Carl wanted to see more of her, he wanted her to surrender to him totally and he didn¡¯t wanted to take her against her will. He didn¡¯t want to do what either of them would regret during her short stay in the pack.


    No she shouldn¡¯t give herself to a strange man just like that not after what she went through three years ago. This should stop.


    And as if they were reading each other¡¯s mind, Carl lifted his head while she pushed at his chest. Their chest raced and lips swollen from kissing, tasting and biting. Her hard nipples begged for more of his attention.


    Carl was a fine kisser, his lips were firm and strawberry sweet. The kiss was thorough and the way he held her closely for the first few minutes made her feelfortable.


    Carl looked away to the music that stopped and his selected ringtone came on. An iing call.


    ¡°You should pick up your cellphone.¡± She knew it was a call because the music had just started and it wasn¡¯t close to the end.

 EPISODE 16 The pack is safe for humans

    MOON STONE PACK


    She wasn¡¯t embarrassed to look into his eyes after the passionate moment with him.


    Carl stood up to answer his phone that was begging for attention. Meagan sat up abruptly, wore her bra and polo. She tried to straighten her hair properly.


    Julius was calling. ¡°Hello Carl,¡± he heard Hazel¡¯s voice over the phone.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Carl mumbled.


    ¡°I think my friend is missing. She was supposed to meet me at Julius ce for breakfast but I haven¡¯t seen and she isn¡¯t at the guesthouse. Do you think someone took her?¡± Hazel rushed out her words. He could sense fear and worry in her tone.


    Carl nced at Meagan. ¡°Rx, she probably lost her way around the pack.¡±


    Hazel sighed. ¡°Are you sure she is fine? I mean is she safe?¡± She demanded.


    ¡°Nothing will happen to your best friend. I¡¯ll be right there with you.¡± He added before disconnecting the call.


    ¡°Your friend is fussing over your disappearance.¡± He said to her.


    Meagan stood up. ¡°I should get going.¡± She wondered why Hazel had called him to report about her disappearance but nothing urred to her.


    ¡°I shoulde with you so-¡±


    Meagan interrupted him. ¡°There won¡¯t be any need for that.. just describe the beta¡¯s home to me. I¡¯ll find the ce.¡± It would be  make things awkward for her if Hazel spotted them together.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Carl replied. He understood why she didn¡¯t want him to follow her. He gave her a perfect direction of how to find the beta¡¯s home.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± She turned towards the door but Carl was quick to catch up with her.


    ¡°Allison-¡± he grabbed her wrist and swirled her to face him.


    She let out a shaky breathe when he caged her to his body with her hands fully resting on his chest.


    ¡°I¡¯ll see youter right?¡± He mumbled.


    Meagan just simply nodded her head although she hoped not to see him again. Then he let her go after removing strands of hair from her face and he pressed a quick kiss to her lips.


    ¡°Bye.¡± He smiled.


    Meagan became confused by the sweet gesture that made her heart run a marathon and it beat three times harder. She left his house walking away as a fast as her legs could carry her. This man was slowly pulling down her resolve.


    Carl watched her from the window pane as she walked away. He touched his lips remembering the passionate kiss he had shared with her. It would linger in his mind for a long time.


    ***************


    Meagan found the beta¡¯s house. She realized that she had passed the same house but didn¡¯t know it was the beta¡¯s home. She knocked and Hazel rushed to open the door.


    ¡°Meagan!¡± Hazel pulled her in and embraced her. ¡°Oh my moon goddess, I was so scared!¡± She cried out.


    ¡°I am fine, Hazel. I just lost my way.¡± Meagan pulled away from the embrace.


    ¡°I knew it.¡± Brianna sighed.


    ¡°She is so dramatic. I hope you stop acting like our pack is not safe for humans.¡± Julius scolded his mate and walked out of the house.


    ¡°Is he angry?¡± Meagan asked.


    ¡°Not really.. he is just pissed that his bride kept him waiting. He has so much work to do for the alpha.¡± Brianna answered as she sat on the couch.


    ¡°I am sorry. I tried your lines when I lost my way but they were switched off.¡± Meagan exined.


    ¡°Yes the power went out in the pack but it has been fixed.¡± Hazel replied.


    ¡°You must be hungry.¡± Brianna said.


    ¡°No. no.. I am fine.¡± Meagan declined.


    Hazel arched her eyes brows. ¡°Yes I got food from the guest house. I ced an order for it from the kitchen.¡± Meagan lied.


    She didn¡¯t want to open up to her friend about the man she had met at the partyst night.


    ¡°But they didn¡¯t mention it when I called to ask of you.¡± Hazel itched the bridge of her nose.


    ¡°Maybe¡­ they forgot.¡± Meagan stuttered.


    ¡°I¡¯ll get us something to drink.¡± Hazel motioned into the kitchen.


    ¡°You left the halloween party earlyst night.¡± Brianna said.


    Meagan looked up at her. ¡°Yes, I-¡± she paused and looked down her body, realizing that she had left her small bag at Carl¡¯s home.


    ¡°Are you okay?¡± Brianna asked.


    ¡°Yes.. Yes.. Yes.. I am fine.¡± She stuttered, a feigned smile on her face.


    Hazel came back with a tray filled with three sses of lemon juice. And she handed each of the girls a ss.


    Meagan thought of what she would say if Hazel asked about her phone.


    ¡°Did you have a good sleep?¡± Hazel asked as she settled beside her best friend on the couch.


    ¡°Yes I did slept well.¡± Meagan sipped from the ss of lemonade.


    ¡°Last night was so fun! You should have joined us for the games.¡± Brianna said.


    ¡°Meagan was too tired to join the game.¡± Hazel replied.


    ¡°So what did you do? Because Hazel and I tried to find you.¡± Brianna set her ss back on the tray that sat on the ssy table.


    ¡°I just checked out costumes of peoples.¡± Meagan replied.


    Brianna raised her eyebrows. ¡°There is no way that would have been fun to me.¡±


    ¡°I enjoyed it.¡± Meagan mumbled. She didn¡¯t want to tell them about how she had spent time with a warlord in a garden under the moonlight. Hazel would want to know every details about him and she might even have an information about him since he is a native of the pack.


    Deep down in Meagan¡¯s heart she was scared to find out that the warlord could be a married man whose wife was far away from the pack, an auto mechanic, a single father of three kids or even a divorc¨¦e. Different thoughts ran into her mind. Maybe she should have found out more about him.


    ¡°Did you managed to get the attention of that man?¡± Meagan asked trying to switch the topic.


    ¡°She got plenty of attention from menst night.¡± Hazelughed.


    Brianna rolled her eyes. ¡°All?¡±


    Hazel shrugged. ¡°Well all except one.¡±


    ¡°The alpha didn¡¯t fall for your beautyst night?¡± Meagan arched her eyebrows.


    Brianna shook her head. ¡°Oh yes.. I had a dance with him but he reminded me again that he doesn¡¯t want a rtionship with me.¡± She sighed.


    ¡°The alpha looked so handsome and hot in his warlord outfit! You should have seen him, Meagan!¡± Hazel set down her ss.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    Meagan wondered if there are other men who had dressed as a warlord aside the one she met. It didn¡¯t ur to Meagan that they could be talking about the same man.


    ¡°But why doesn¡¯t he want someone like you? I mean you are brave, confident and beautiful. If you are not his type then what¡¯s his ideal type of woman?¡± Meagan blurted out.


    A look of disappointment crossed Brianna¡¯s face. ¡°I am his best friend¡¯s younger sister.¡±


    Meagan understood her words. ¡°I still don¡¯t think that should be a problem.¡±

 EPISODE 17 Alpha鈥檚 ideal type of woman

    MOON STONE PACK


    Hazel figured things out in her head. There was no point in encouraging or advising Brianna to keep hoping the alpha would change his mind. ¡°Brianna, I don¡¯t think the only reason is because you are his best friend younger sister. It could be that the alpha is just not into you.¡± She reasoned.


    Brianna ced her palm over her face trying hard to hold back her tears.


    ¡°I think his taste in women is weird to me.¡± Meaganmented.


    ¡°The alpha¡¯s ex was a model.¡± Hazel said.


    Brianna sniffed. ¡°She is now an international model.¡±


    ¡°So he likes women with model like bodies huh?¡± Meagan forehead creased.


    ¡°Sculpted figure, thin waist, long hair, nice legs -¡± Brianna paused as she studied Meagan. ¡°Someone like you.¡± Shepleted.


    Hazel gasped out in realization. ¡°She is the alpha¡¯s type of woman!¡± Sheughed.


    Meagan furrowed her eyebrows. ¡°I thought we were focusing on Brianna so don¡¯t you dare try to switch one me.¡±


    ¡°I think you should meet the alpha, who know we might have a Luna around here.¡± Hazel teased her best friend, knowing she didn¡¯t like talking about men anymore. It has been so long they had a girlie conversation like this one.


    Brianna cleared her throat. ¡°I am right here.¡±


    ¡°Exactly!¡± Meagan snapped her fingers.


    ¡°I am sorry, Brianna. I am just trying to tease my best friend.¡± Hazel giggled.


    ¡°You don¡¯t get tired of teasing me?¡± Meagan pouted.


    ¡°Never.. if I don¡¯t tease you who will?¡± Hazel said with a shrug. ¡°Don¡¯t take me serious, Brianna.¡±


    Brianna forced a smile on her face while the other girlsughed. ¡°No, it¡¯s alright.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to meet the alpha.¡± Meagan said trying to assure Brianna that she wasn¡¯t ready to go after the man she loves.


    Brianna heaved a sigh of frustration. ¡°I am done with this rejection. The alpha doesn¡¯t like me. How on earth did I get rejected twice by the same man!¡±  She asked rhetorically.


    ¡°So what¡¯s your n?¡± Hazel asked.


    ¡°I hate to ept it and saying this, I should probably focus on someone else. If I don¡¯t pay attention to other men then I don¡¯t see myself walking down the aisle anytime soon. I want to have my first pub before I hit twenty seven. And I don¡¯t want to be like the alpha, I mean he is thirty two but doesn¡¯t have a woman in his life.¡± She tried to encourage herself.


    ¡°The alpha is just trying to-¡±


    ¡°Oh please don¡¯t talk about him still trying to get over his ex. It has been more than five years already since he got rejected by the first woman he has ever loved. If he doesn¡¯t find someone soon then I don¡¯t see us having a Luna in this pack not to talk of expecting a future alpha that we all have to pay our respect.¡± Brianna crossed her leg over the other.


    ¡°What happened to your alpha?¡± Meagan demanded.


    ¡°Trust me, you don¡¯t want to know bes.¡± Hazel sighed.


    ¡°Worst than what I went through with Max?¡± Meagan mumbled to her best friend.


    Brianna doesn¡¯t understand what they were talking about. But she was interested in telling Meagan what happened to their alpha.


    Hazel was silent after Meagan¡¯s question. She remembered how her best friend had shut herself out of the worldpletely after her first breakup with the man she had loved.


    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you about the alpha.¡± Brianna said.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    ¡°I still don¡¯t think you need to know.¡± Hazel stood up, picked up the sses on the table.


    Brianna moved over to sit with Meagan.


    ¡°I¡¯ll just fill up these sses again.¡± Hazel walked away.


    ¡°The alpha of this pack always get whatever he set his mind on as a strong willed wolf. But he failed at getting one thing he desired, the woman he first loved in his whole life.¡± Brianna leaned back into the couch.


    ¡°It must have been hard for him to ept that he could fail at a stage in his life.¡± Meagan mouthed.


    Brianna nodded in agreement. ¡°I am also a strong will wolf. I always get everything I want and that¡¯s why it is hard for me to ept that alpha¡¯s rejection.¡±


    Hazel came back to the sitting room. ¡°That¡¯s the first disadvantage of being an extremely strong willed wolf. Once they fail they find it hard to move on and embrace the things that are yet toe.¡± Hazel said as she set the tray on the table.


    ¡°As I was saying about the alpha, he went on an alphas meeting trip in a distant pack and there he met ady named Madison.¡± Brianna reached out to grab a drink.


    ¡°Sounds like a bed time story I always hear from the gammas of our pack.¡± Hazel said.

 EPISODE 18 Alpha鈥檚 first love

    MOON STONE PACK


    The Gammas in the history of wolves are the oldest and wisest wolves of the pack. They passed on words of wisdom through their stories and phrases to others within the pack. They delight in telling stories to pubs though sometimes what they tell are just legends but still each story usually has some sort of moral in it. In a pack, there are usually one or two who fill this position and one from each gender. Sometimes, there might be more than two depending on the popce of the pack or number of aged looking wolves. They are the elders of the pack.


    ¡°We could document this story and make the alpha a legend like other icons that has gone down in the history of wolves.¡± Brianna teased and they allughed.


    ¡°Madison is a model and the alpha had enjoyed spending time with her. He loved her almost immediately and feelings had stirred in Madison too.¡± Hazel narrated.


    ¡°You could see that they were so much in love because Madison moved into our pack when they started dating. Everyone in the pack thought they were going to get married.¡± Brianna said.


    ¡°Yes I thought Madison would be our Luna because they lived like a married couple and she was already fulfilling her duties as a Luna in the pack mansion.¡± Hazel sighed as she took a sip from her drink.


    ¡°So what happened?¡± Meagan asked out of curiosity.


    ¡°The rtionship went on for two years with Maddie leaving the pack once in a while to do her gigs as a model. And the alpha became assured that Madison was his mate.¡± Brianna answered.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    ¡°He decided to marry her?¡± Meagan tasted her drink.


    ¡°We nned a proposal event for Madison while she was away from the pack for about two months. They had kept in touch on phone throughout those months because the alpha couldn¡¯t leave the pack for security reasons at that time.¡± Hazel stopped and flicked her hair behind her ears.


    ¡°On the day Madison arrived, the alpha proposed to her in front of some high ranking wolves and members but she rejected his proposal. She killed everyone¡¯s excitement and expectation that we would have a Luna in our pack.¡± Hazel added.


    ¡°She already got the Luna¡¯s title even before the ring.¡± Brianna snorted.


    Her hatred for Madison ran deep for two reasons. The fact that the alpha had showed her too much love and care and because she also broke his heart and wolf.


    ¡°The alpha was shocked, his wolf was sad and he demanded a reason for the rejection but Madison couldn¡¯t state one.¡± Hazel shrugged.


    ¡°She made a fool out of the alpha in front of his pack members that has showed him nothing but loyalty and respect.¡± Brianna hissed.


    ¡°Maddie left the pack after she rejected the alpha?¡± Meagan tried toplete the story.


    Hazel shook her head in response. ¡°She left. It was as if she only came around to say goodbye to him.¡±


    ¡°But one month after the rtionship fell apart, the alpha found out that Madison had picked her career over being a Luna.¡± Brianna said.


    Meagan frowned in confusion. ¡°I don¡¯t understand. I thought she was a model before she met him.¡±


    ¡°She was a model just building up her career to make it to an international level in the industry.¡± Hazel replied.


    ¡°Well the alpha knew how determined she was to be an international model and she didn¡¯t want to fail. But he didn¡¯t expected that she would reject him just to travel to Paris.¡± Brianna stood up from the couch.


    ¡°I feel she should have exined things to him. It was bad of her to reject him without any reason and worst thing is that he had to figure it out the reason himself.¡± Meaganmented.


    ¡°You are right. He could have provided a simple solution to the offer she had received to model for popr clothing brands in Paris. But he never got the chance to do so.¡± Hazel agreed.


    ¡°It is a simply solution. All she would have done was leave the pack to do her job and then return back anytime she doesn¡¯t have a busy schedule.¡± Meagan reasoned.


    ¡°Maybe.. or maybe it won¡¯t have worked that way. The Luna has to be present in the pack to help and support the alpha and the rest of the pack in time of needs. Her responsibilities also involves bearing pubs for the alpha.¡± Hazel exined the obligation of a Luna.


    ¡°That¡¯s a whole lot of responsibilities for a wolf that is pretty determined to go big in the entertainment industry. Career women don¡¯t like to be stuck to one location or not being able to fulfill their dreams.¡± Meagan said.


    Brianna nodded in agreement. ¡°I still feel she shouldn¡¯t have epted to date him when she knew  she wasn¡¯t ready and knowing that the alpha wanted a Luna. Madison broke his wolfpletely because he had a hard time getting over her while she was busy making a name for herself in the industry.¡± Brianna had a frown on her face as she remembered Madison¡¯s face that always looked so innocent as if she could do no wrong.


    ¡°Well.. I think they are not meant to be together. The moon goddess did not destined her to be the luna of moon stone pack.¡± Hazel ced her hand over her mouth as she let out a yawn. She haven¡¯t had a good sleep for days now. nning and putting things together for the wedding has been much work for her.

 EPISODE 19 Ancient age of wolves

    MOON STONE PACK


    Hazel ced her hand over her mouth as she let out a yawn. She haven¡¯t had a good sleep for days now. nning and putting things together for the wedding has been too much work for her.


    ¡°If it was around the ancient age when wolves were fated to one mate then the alpha won¡¯t have gone through this heartbreak. And maybe Madison wouldn¡¯t have left him because she would feel the pain and loneliness of being away from her mate.¡± Meagan remembered reading about the ancient wolf mating.


    ¡°Maybe I would have been the alpha¡¯s mate. It would be great to be a Luna of a powerful pack.¡± Brianna thought.


    Hazel stiffed back augh. ¡°Stop day dreaming, that ancient age is long gone. Try to focus on other men like you have decided.¡±


    Meagan¡¯s mind drifted back to the alpha¡¯s story that they had shared with her. At first she didn¡¯t like the alpha because he was too selective about women and for rejecting Brianna without even considering her feelings. But the story about his past rtionship changed her perspective about the alpha. She felt pity for him because of what he had to go through. It must have been hard for him dealing with the rejection as a wolf and getting over his feelings for the first woman he has ever loved his whole life. The alpha must be having a hard time falling in love with another woman just like how she was scared of men after what Max did to her.


    ¡°So that¡¯s the story about our alpha.¡± Hazel sighed.


    ¡°It must be hard for him to put his wolf piece back together.¡± Meagan mumbled but enough for them to hear.


    ¡°Years has passed so I am sure his wolf is back in one piece.¡± Hazel replied.


    Brianna looked at her watch as she moved away from the window pane. ¡°Time flies fast, it almost call time for our duty at the infirmary.¡±


    Hazel took a nce up at the wall clock. ¡°We still have about thirty minutes extra to have a conversation.¡±


    Brianna nodded in agreement. ¡°Did you see how cute Jeremy looked yesterday?¡±


    ¡°Oh yes! How can I miss his sexiness? He has changed a lot.¡± Hazel replied.


    ¡°I drooled over himst night and when he asked me for a dance I didn¡¯t take time to say yes.¡± Brianna closed her eyes as she ced her hand across her chest. ¡°I can still remember how hard his chest was against my palms.¡±


    Hazel exchanged nces with Meagan. They began to doubt if she was the same girl who was head over heels for the alpha brooding over rejection few minutes ago.


    ¡°Jeremy looked so handsome in his warrior costume.¡± Brianna reopened her eyes.


    ¡°Yes. He looked great. And whoever picked that costume did a great job because he won someone over with it.¡± Hazel said.


    Brianna shook her head as she sat on the couch again. ¡°He told me that I looked beautiful while my eyes undressed his Samson like body.¡± Sheughed.


    Meagan had no idea of who they were talking about so she decided to ask. ¡°Who is Jeremy?¡±


    ¡°Jeremy is the alpha cousin. And guess what? I think he likes you, Brianna. But you have been too blind to see it because you have a crush on the alpha.¡± Hazel answered.


    Brianna smiled dropped. ¡°No that¡¯s not true, I mean he doesn¡¯t like me. No.. fine.. you maybe right because he tried to flirt with mest night but I didn¡¯t allow it.¡±


    ¡°Because the alpha was close by?¡± Hazel asked.


    ¡°Not really¡­ I don¡¯t know.¡± Her response was sharp and immediate.


    Keppa Jeremy is a twenty five years old wolf. A keppa wolf belongs to a group of hunters in a pack. Jeremy has a manly Samson physique. His aquamarine eyes were orb round and it always shined with delight. People tend topliment his cheerful character. He has a yful tune as if he was aedian. And his bubbly personality had made Brianna enticed by himst night. She fell in love with his charms and had simply sat with him throughout the night just to listen to him. Jeremy is rted to the alpha and he has always liked Brianna.


    During his three month stay in moon stone pack serving as a trainee under the leader of the hunters group few years ago, he never got close to Brianna because he knew she liked the alpha and she had also left the pack a month after he moved to the pack.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be honest with you girls. Jeremy is not a bad guy and I can give him a chance if he wants something serious with me.¡± Brianna toyed with the tip of her hair.


    Dancing and spending some time with Jeremy was beginning to stir up feelings in Brianna.


    ¡°I am sure Jeremy knows what he wants in a mate. And you could be the perfect choice for him.¡± Hazel said loudly and with a serious look on her face.


    ¡°Are you sure?¡± Brianna asked.


    Hazel nodded. ¡°Do you want me to talk to him?¡±


    ¡°No. It¡¯s very sweet of you to look out for me. You always want the best for me. Thanks Hazel.¡± Brianna smiled.


    ¡°You are wee, Brianna. Just make sure you catch my bouquet after I tie the knot with your brother.¡± Hazel joked.


    Briannaughed. ¡°Just hand it over to your best friend, Meagan.¡±


    Meagan looked up at Brianna. ¡°Huh? Were you talking to me?¡± She asked.


    ¡°You weren¡¯t listening to me?¡± Brianna¡¯s forehead drew together.


    ¡°I was listening to you.¡± Meagan forced a smile on her face.

 EPISODE 20 Do you want my bouquet?

    MOON STONE PACK


    Meagan had stopped listening after Hazel described Jeremy¡¯s connection to the alpha. Her mind had drifted off to the memory of the passionate moment with the warlord.


    ¡°Would you like to have Hazel¡¯s bouquet?¡± Brianna asked.


    Meagan exchanged nces with her best friend before looking back at Brianna. ¡°I can hand it over to you if you want it.¡± Hazel smiled but doubting a positive response from her best friend.


    ¡°I am sure other bridesmaids would be looking forward to catching the bouquet so it won¡¯t be fair to hand it over to me.¡± Meagan answered.


    ¡°You are right. But whoever catches the bouquet will be the next lucky bride.¡± Brianna said.


    ¡°Well sometimes it doesn¡¯t work that way. I have a friend that has been a bridesmaid for many weddings, she has caught more bouquets than one can ever imagine and she is yet unmarried.¡± Meagan said.


    ¡°Well I hope my best friend catches it. I want to see her get married before the year runs out.¡± Hazel winked at Meagan as she stood up from the couch.


    ¡°Do weddings juste up without a groom in the picture?¡± Meagan demanded.


    Hazel counted her fingers. ¡°We still have seven months to end the year so anything can happen.¡± She said with a shrug.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that your call time at the infirmary is in thirty minutes time? Twenty minutes is long gone already.¡± Meagan did the act of changing topic again.


    Hazel rolled her eyes catching her best friend¡¯s scope. She went to Meagan and crouched down to whisper into her ears. ¡°Stop trying to switch topic, I caught you earlier on. And my point is stop shying away from talks that involves men.¡± And before Meagan could protest Hazel was out of sight, racing off to the room.


    ¡°Do you have an idea of where they sell off troublesome wolves? Or probably a ve camp for wolves?¡± Meagan asked Brianna who giggled.


    ¡°I can hear you!¡± Hazel said loudly.


    ¡°very era ended a long time ago.¡± Brianna replied.


    ¡°I am stuck with you, Meagan Swift! You deserve all the happiness in the world, so give another man a chance in your life!¡± Hazel screamed from the rooms


    ¡°Shut up, Hazel!¡± Meagan shot back.


    ¡°We have just ten minutes to call time.¡± Brianna reminded as she took out a small brush from her bag to redo her hair.


    Hazel is an iota wolf which means a worker that works at the pack infirmary treating wolves.


    Brianna is an iota warrior. These types of warriors goes to war with other war men or hunters during an hunting game and they also go out with patrol guards. They are always on standby to treat and administer first aid treatment to wolves.


    Iota wolves works under the leader called Theta. Some of them are also witches and wizard who have a vast knowledge in using herbs and other medical resources that will help cure and heal others.


    Hazel came back to the sitting room all dressed to leave for work. ¡°I feel the bride ought to be resting instead of working.¡±


    ¡°This is what I can do to repay the pack for sponsoring my wedding. And you always say that in this profession saving lives shoulde first before anything else.¡± Hazel answered.


    ¡°Then I must say you have learnt from the best teacher.¡± Briannaughed.


    Hazel nodded in agreement. ¡°I am passing that message to the new iotas at the infirmary.¡±


    Brianna stood up from the couch. ¡°So what will you be doing while we are away working?¡± She asked facing Meagan.


    Meagan stood up too. ¡°I¡¯ll just head back to the guesthouse while I wait for your call.¡± Meagan replied.


    ¡°Where is your phone?¡± Hazel questioned when she noticed that there was nothing with her best friend.


    ¡°I went back to the guesthouse when I couldn¡¯t find my way here. I dropped off my stuffs and then retraced my steps down here after asking some wolves for directions.¡± Meagan lied again.


    She already thought of what to say. Megan already figured that Hazel might possibly ask for her cellphone. It had be a habit for Hazel to always ask about Meagan¡¯s phone just to secretly check if she was already seeing someone.


    Thedies walked to the door. ¡°It would be so boring for you. Why don¡¯t you have a swim at the pool!¡± Brianna suggested.


    They stepped out of the house and waited while Hazel locked the door.


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s your favorite spot in the pack after the fire flies garden so and have a swim. I am sure no one would be at the pool by this time.¡± Hazel ced her arm over Meagan¡¯s shoulder as they walked down the small stairs.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    ¡°It is not a bad idea. The sun is hitting too hard these days.¡± Meagan agreed.


    ¡°Good girl. I¡¯ll be back from work by seven soe around to have dinner by 8:30 p. m.¡± Hazel embraced Meagan. ¡°Bye, don¡¯t miss me too much baby.¡± She added.


    Meagan pat her back gently before pulling away from the embrace.


    ¡°Take care, Meagan.¡± Brianna waved as they turned to walk away in another direction that led to the infirmary.


    ¡°No lies Hazel, you got the best girl. I get the reason why you don¡¯t want anyone to fill up the chief bridesmaid spot.¡± Brianna said.


    ¡°You are right. Meagan is a sweet girl, I just wish she didn¡¯t shut herself out of the world few years ago.¡± Hazel sighed.


    ¡°What happened in her previous rtionship?¡± Brianna asked.


    ¡°That¡¯s a long story for another day. We should hurry to the infirmary before the Theta in charge today decides to pick on us again.¡± Hazel answered.

 EPISODE 21 The alpha found someone

    MOON STONE PACK


    Meagan went back to the guesthouse to take a nap, deciding to visit the poolter in the evening. The time was 3:00 p. m so she set the rm she had brought along to 5:30 pm. The pool she liked would be free of other wolves and humans. It was her favorite ce in the pack because of its silence and calmness if no one was around the area or in it. It was the second ce she had visited after the garden filled with fire flies when she first sneaked away from home to see Hazel. The pool was a small area of still water, typically one formed naturally and it was located somewhere not far to the small house she had found Carl.


    *****


    FEW HOURS LATER


    Carl was done with the meeting with his beta. It involved reviewing the petitions from some pack members and reading out mails of some rich and wealthy humans who wanted to invest in the local business of some pack members. The alpha¡¯s consent and pack stamp was needed to proceed with the investment.


    Beta Julius yawned as he got out of the stool. They had the meeting in the kitchen. ¡°I should go ahead now.¡± He said.


    ¡°You look tired. Get some rest because I don¡¯t want you looking like a zombie on your wedding day.¡± Carl pointed at the faint dark circles underneath his beta¡¯s eyes.


    Beta Julius yawned again. ¡°Will you like to go for a swim with me? It¡¯ll help you rx your tensed muscles.¡± Carl asked.


    ¡°I¡¯ll pass this time for a good massage from my mate.¡± Julius grinned with admiration in his eyes.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to throw it to my face that I need to find a mate as soon as possible.¡± Carl chuckled as they walked out of the kitchen.


    ¡°I think it¡¯s time you consider having a mate again.¡± Julius replied.


    ¡°I found someone but I don¡¯t know my chances with her yet.¡± Carl settled on the couch.


    ¡°Really?! Tell me! Since when? Is she a member of this pack? Is she a wolf? How did you meet her?¡± Julius questioned frantically.


    ¡°Which question should I answer first?¡± Carl asked.


    Julius went to sit beside him. ¡°Tell me everything.¡± He demanded.


    ¡°I met her few days back and saw her against night at the Halloween party. She is not a member of this pack.¡± Carl answered.


    ¡°Then find out more information about her pack.¡± Julius said.


    ¡°She is a pure human.¡± Carl mumbled.


    ¡°Really? Look at you smiling, I can tell you are deeply into her already.¡± Julius poked his side.


    ¡°You can¡¯t be so sure of anything yet. She has this cold nature¡­ as if she doesn¡¯t want me to get close to her.¡± Carl didn¡¯t want to open up to Julius fully that he was already flirting with his mate¡¯s best friend in case things doesn¡¯t work out.


    ¡°I am happy to hear that you are into someone now.¡± Julius smiled sheepishly.


    ¡°I am not seeing her yet. Don¡¯t get me wrong and don¡¯t go about telling Hazel and Brianna.¡± Carl warned with a stern look on his face.


    Julius touched his lips. ¡°I promise to keep your little secret.¡± He whispered standing up.


    ¡°See youter.¡± Carl waved.


    Julius eyes flickered to the other long couch and he saw a mini green bag on it. ¡°Is this a female handbag?!¡± He pointed at it.


    Carl eyes widened when he saw the bag that belonged to Meagan.


    ¡°Has she starteding over to visit you?! Is there something you are not telling me?!¡± Julius blurted out.


    Carl stood up and grabbed the bag from Julius before he opened it. ¡°Joanna dropped by earlier so she must have forgotten that she brought it along. You know she is clumsy.¡± He lied.


    Julius rxed. ¡°Oh.. Joanna.¡± He mouthed.


    Joanna is the alpha¡¯s niece and she is staying at the pack mansion with the family.


    ¡°You should go ahead.¡± Carl pushed Julius towards the door. ¡°Try to get enough rest because we have to rehearse for the grand entry as early as 5:00 am. Bye.¡± He opened the door and pushed his beta out before he could say any words.


    Carl heaved a sigh of relief as he locked the door and rushed to the couch he had dropped Meagan¡¯s bag. He checked it and found her cellphone. If Julius had seeded in looking into it then he would have recognized the cellphone because of the lock screen. Meagan¡¯s picture was smiling back at him. She was dressed in a medical coat with a cup of coffee in her hand as she sat behind a white desk.


    The picture was taken by Hazel about a year ago when she had visited Meagan at the hospital. Hazel wanted a recent picture of her best friend so she had said something funny which made Meagan sh her a real smile and she had taken a clear shot.


    Carl sat back on the couch to admire the picture. She was beautiful. A smile crept up his face again as his mind drifted back to the kiss they had shared. His mind was filled with the images of the pretty fortune teller. Something sparked in him as he fantasized over the kiss, the sweet honey taste of her lips and it felt like she had cast a magical spell on him.


    Carl looked into the bag again and found an inhaler in it. Is she asthmatic? Or she just carried it about as a first aid in case she came across a patient with such ailment? He wondered. He did not remember Hazel saying her best friend has asthma. And Carl concluded that doctors are always very cautious. She would need it and this is an excuse to see her again.


    Carl stood up to leave for the guesthouse but he stopped at the door. ¡°I am not sure she would like the idea of me bringing this to her. Plus the other bridesmaids might wonder why I am at the guesthouse and that would start a rumor.¡± He thought and walked back to the couch.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    ¡°I should keep it with me until shees around to get it. No, I should send someone to take it to her.¡± Carl concluded.


    He dropped the bag on the couch and motioned towards his room to grab his swimming suit. He was going to have an evening bathe in the pool.

 EPISODE 22 Devoured in the pool

    MOON STONE PACKCcontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Meagan opened her eyes and reached to the small device that was beeping under the second pillow. The red light on the rm beeped 5:30 pm. She stretched her body and yawned at the same time. It was time to go for swimming but she rolled on her side and pulled the bed covers over her head. Seconds clicked by and soon she sat up abruptly, remembering that her bag was still at the warlord¡¯s house.


    Meagan hopped out of bed, deciding that she would call at his home, of course without epting his invite again and she won¡¯t mention it that she is going to the pool close to his home. She wore her swim suit under the mini skirt and top that she had changed into, she grabbed another inhaler from the box and headed out of the room.


    *****


    No one was in the pool when Meagan got to the area. It made her happy that she has the whole ce to herself. She had dropped by at Carl¡¯s home but got no response after knocking about four times.


    Meagan kicked off her sandals, pulled her top over her head and pulled down her mini skirt quickly. The bikini she wore fitted her perfectly and it exposed more of her sculpted figure and dazzlingplexion. She sat at the edge and put one leg into the pool, it sent shivers throughout her body. Her eyes surveyed the still water, as she remembered one of her ns to buy a house with a pool someday. Meagan enjoyed swimming a lot.


    She set her clothes and inhaler together at one spot before stepping deeper into the pool. She went deeper until the water reached her waistline. Her eyes caught a glimpse of something floating on the water but it disappeared. She became scared when it appeared and disappeared in a fast pace again.


    Immediately Meagan started back to the bank, terrified that something might devour her in the pool and no one woulde to her rescue. But something grabbed her ankle tightly and Meagan screamed out in fear. She used her other leg to fight off whatever had grabbed her ankle. And all of a sudden a manly figure pushed his way up and sped his hand over her mouth to stop her from screaming. Meagan back was against a solid chest, knowing it was a man so she fought harder.


    ¡°Allison,¡± the familiar voice whispered into her ears. ¡°Rx, it¡¯s me. Carl.¡± He turned her to face him.


    Fear crossed her expression as she stared into his eyes. Her heartbeat rise three times higher. He just scared the hell out of her and she has the gut to let a smile y on his lips! She almost lost her breathe when he grabbed her legs!


    Meagan pushed him away and continued towards the bank so she would leave.


    ¡°Allison?¡± Carl called her but she didn¡¯t stop. He knew he had startled her by what he meant as a yful trick.


    Carl had justpleted a swimmingp when he sensed the presence of someone. He recognized the smell because his wolf had picked up her scent after sharing a kiss with her. He had stayed under the water so she wouldn¡¯t changed her mind about swimming if she had seen him.


    Meagan was surprised to see him and had froze almost immediately in fear after she heard his voice. She reached for her inhaler and puffed it once into her mouth to ease her fast breathing.


    Carl was right behind her, watching her as she did her thing. She was truly asthmatic like he had predicted. Guilt crept up in his mind as she stepped out of the pool. She was leaving without saying a word to him.


    ¡°Hey Allison, I didn¡¯t mean to startle you.¡± Carl pushed a hand through his wet hair after got out of the pool.


    Beads of water dropped over his sculpted and expanded chest. He stopped her from taking her skirt but she jerked free.


    ¡°Don¡¯t touch me.¡± Meagan breathed heavily.


    Carl noticed she was still trying to calm her breathing. ¡°I am sorry. But you have to calm yourself down.¡± His eyes pleaded with her when she looked into them.


    Meagan looked away without saying a word. He was right. Her gaze flicked to his bare chest and she admired him. She was angry at him for startling her but everything melted down when fantasy kicked in her head again. Meagan admitted that he looked pretty damn perfect standing in front of her, all wet and gleaming in sexiness. Her eyes undressed him as he held her wrist again.


    ¡°I am sorry.¡± He said.


    Carl wore a blue swim trunk that disyed his manly bulge. She couldn¡¯t help the images that filled her head as he stood almost naked in front of her.


    Meagan swallowed hard as she let him lead her back into the pool. He made her sit at the edge while he entered the pool, his strong arms on both sides as if he was guiding her.


    He waited for her to catch enough breathe before speaking up. ¡°Are you okay?¡±


    Meagan licked her lips and the gesture turned on a switch in him. He tried to hold back from kissing her.


    ¡°I am fine. You scared me.¡± She toyed with the inhaler in her hand.


    ¡°I wouldn¡¯t have pulled that trick on you if I knew you were asthmatic.¡± He muttered.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I am fine now.¡± Meagan said, still not looking at him.


    ¡°I am sorry.¡± Carl apologized again.


    He held her hands to stop her from toying with the inhaler so she could look into his eyes. ¡°Are you still mad at me?¡± He asked in a rasp.


    She didn¡¯t give any response. Carl sighed.


    ¡°You left your bag at my home. I have it here with me with a n that I would go into the pack and send a little wolf to bring it to the guesthouse.¡± He said.


    Still she didn¡¯t say anything. The effect his nearly naked body was having on her was too much for her to bear.


    ¡°Since you are here to swim so have a good one.¡± He made an attempt to leave but Meagan held on his hands. She wanted him to stay.

 EPISODE 23 Types of wolves

    MOON STONE PACK


    Meagan whipped her head to look up at him and their gaze locked. ¡°Stay¡­ with.. me.¡± She stuttered.


    ¡°Are you sure? I don¡¯t want to disturb your swim.¡± Carl said in a tight whisper.


    She let go of his hands. ¡°I am not mad at you. No.. I was but.. not anymore. So you can stay.¡± She stuttered.


    ¡°Alright.¡± Carl nodded. ¡°Then we should swim.¡± He dipped his hands into the water and sshed it at her. ¡°Will you be okay?¡± He asked referring to her breathing.


    Meagan shook her head. ¡°Yeah, I am fine as long as I keep my head up.¡±


    Carl went farther into the pool until the water reached his waist. ¡°Do you like swimming?¡±


    She dropped the inhaler at the edge of the pool. ¡°Yes¡­. and I n to have a good one today.¡± Meagan smiled as she started towards him.


    Carl sshed the water on her from where he stood. A renewal of yfulness triggered in him again. It was a relief that she was her usual self around him again.


    ¡°I thought wolves can¡¯t survive in water for too long. But how did you manage to stay under water that I didn¡¯t even notice or see you?¡± She demanded.


    Carl swims around her in circles. ¡°You are right. I have trained my wolf to stay under water for long. Let me see, I have been using this pool for over twenty years now.¡± He grinned.


    ¡°Are you some special kind of wolf?¡± Meagan asked as she turned in circles with him, sshing water on her as he moved.


    ¡°I won¡¯t say that I am a special wolf. I have only trained my wolf to do extra ordinary things that other wolves can¡¯t do.¡± He answered.


    ¡°What kind of wolf are you?¡± Meagan stopped moving in circle to focus on him.


    ¡°Do you know about wolves?¡± Carl asked.


    ¡°Hmmm.. I don¡¯t have a vast knowledge about wolves but I know some types of wolves.¡± Meagan answered.


    ¡°So tell me what you know about wolves? No, let me make things easier for you with just one question.¡± Carl went under the water but soon raised his head.


    ¡°What is the most dangerous wolf in the world?¡± Carl asked.


    ¡°Gray wolves are the most dangerous wolves in the world.¡± Meagan replied.


    He arched his eyebrows. ¡°Fivergest wolves in the world.¡±


    ¡°Mackenzie valley wolf, Eurasian wolf, Tundra wolf, skan interior wolf andstly Great in wolf.¡± Meagan listed taking Carl by surprise.


    He didn¡¯t expect her to know all kinds of wolves.


    ¡°What¡¯s your type of wolf?¡± She demanded sweeping her hand through the water.


    Carl started towards her and stopped right where she stood. ¡°I am a Mackenzie valley wolf.¡± He replied.


    ¡°That means whenever you are in your full form, your wolf will weigh up to one hundred and seventy pounds and seven feet tall. Woah! That¡¯s thergest wolf in the world!¡± Meagan smiled sshing more water as she moved away from him.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    ¡°Why are you staring at me?¡± She asked when he didn¡¯t say anything but stare.


    She just won his heart over for knowing about his world even as a human. All thanks to Hazel who had made it a must for her to learn almost everything about werewolves.


    Desires red in his eyes as he disappeared underneath the water and dived closer to her. He shifted closer, reached out to brush a drop of water from her cheek and removed wet strands of hair from her face. He trailed his strong fingertips over her chin as his eyes gazed at her lips. And he lost controlpletely when her tongue flicked over her wet lips.


    Carl pulled her closer to his body and she gasped at the sudden movement with her hands pressing against his chest.


    Meagan could feel the electricity between herself and Carl as their naked flesh met. Tingles began to course through her body as a hand cupped her ass cheek. They were back to the flirting zone.


    One would think Meagan has never had an intimate contact with a man in her life. She hasn¡¯t experienced this quick connection in her whole life.


    Carl trailed his wet fingertips over her lips. Her temperature hit a different degree, she swallowed hard as she waited for him to do what she desperately wanted. And when he didn¡¯t make a move she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned up to kiss him. He got lost in the kiss immediately.


    Meagan had thought of spending more time with him when she dropped by at his ce. She couldn¡¯t help the strange feelings anymore.


    Her lips parted, inviting him to take more of her. He pressed his mouth firmly on hers and teased her tongue that shot out into his mouth. His hand kept caressing her firm ass. He groaned when her belly pressed at his manly bulge. He was more than happy to satisfy her. His hand yed with the hem of her panties.


    The action made her toes curled up and it brought her closer to him. She allowed one of her hand slide down to his hard bulge through the swim trunk and she didn¡¯t break off the kiss while her other hand dipped into his hair.


    Meagan was ready to ept this sensation without thinking about the consequences. Carl carried her in a swift movement and led them to the edge of the pool. She felt her inside trembling when he set her right at the edge.


    His hand reached out to untie the bikini bra and her breasts sprung free. His other hand cupped a breast before it trailed down to her belly and then around the hem of her panties. He waited for her to stop him at that moment but she didn¡¯t try to do it.


    Instead Meagan wrapped her legs around him to deepen the kiss. She wanted this flirtation to go on and for him to satisfy her body. She wanted him and no holding back anymore.


    He got her approval to pleasure her without words ¨C she held on to him and not wanting to break off the kiss.


    They didn¡¯t care if someone could walk in right at the moment. It was getting dark but it didn¡¯t matter to them.

 EPISODE 24 Satisfying her body

    MOON STONE PACK


    He got her approval to pleasure her without words ¨C she held on to him and not wanting to break off the kiss.


    They didn¡¯t care if someone could walk in right at the moment. It was getting dark but it didn¡¯t matter to them.


    Carl pulled away from her, staring into her eyes. ¡°We can¡¯t have sex here. I don¡¯t have a condom with me.¡± He moved down to suck her left nipple.


    Meagan threw her head back when he bit on her right nipple and his other free hand pinched the left nipple.


    ¡°Are you on pills?¡± He asked.


    If only he knew how long she hadst been with a man. ¡°I am not on pills.¡± She answered.


    ¡°Okay, we can wait tillter.¡± Carl stopped the action on her breasts.


    Meagan opened her eyes. How can he stop now that her body was in need of his attention? When will theter be? Every part of her body was on fire.


    ¡°But we can do something else in the main time.¡± His fingertips brushed some certain areas of her body that has been missing a man¡¯s attention.


    ¡°And what will that be?¡± Meagan whispered.


    Her mind was going crazy from the sparkles that ran through her body. She didn¡¯t want to risk having a raw sex with a total stranger. Getting pregnant or contracting a sexual disease wasn¡¯t part of her new year¡¯s resolution.


    ¡°Can I go ahead?¡± His fingers pressed to her needy core.


    Meagan nodded in desperation. If he didn¡¯t relieve her at that moment then she would lose it.


    Carl removed her panties and spread her legs to rest at the edges. He licked his thumb and dropped it on her clit. Her head fell back with a noiseless breathe as he massaged it slowly.


    Meagan was dripping when his other hand rubbed her entrance and he brought it to his mouth.


    ¡°You taste.. so good.¡± He mumbled.


    Carl dipped his hand into the water and poured stream of water on her clit. The watering down to her core made her body ache and tension built within her.


    He continued the water action onto her clit repeatedly before sliding a finger into her core ¨C one, two and three. She was so tight and he pulled out. He massaged in circles at her most sensitive spot and mmed his lips on hers. Their tongues fucked over each other, mingling in a passionate way before he brought his mouth down to her breasts again.


    Meagan moaned softly as it sent a wave of arousal in her. He pressed a finger into her core again, going deeper this time. He thrusted into her with his other hand still rubbing her clit.


    She breathed loudly, her naked chest rising and falling as his fingers moved faster by each seconds. And he did what she didn¡¯t expect him to do.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    Carl¡¯s mouth came down on her entrance, blowing air right into her core and tipping her right over the edge.


    Her eyes rolled to the back of her head as his fingers fucked her. Meagan moaned out loudly as she could feel her legs almost trembling.


    Carl pinned her waist down to keep her in ce as his tongue dug deeper into her pussy.


    ¡°Carl¡­.¡± she mumbled, her hand consciously held his head as she tried to grind her core against his face. Her moans became deeper at the heavy pressure of two fingers fucking her faster. She was at the verge of climax.


    ¡°Fuck.. Fuck.. oh my goodness!¡± She let out a whimper when he fucked her faster and switched fingers in her core.


    ¡°Fuck it! I.. am.. close!¡± She moaned.


    ¡°Come for me¡­ baby.¡± Carl whispered as he thrusted his fingers deeper onest time.


    He had her reeling over the edge at the fiction of his fingers. Her legs shook vehemently as she spilled her release over his fingers.


    Meagan threw back her head as she fell to the ground, breathing heavily as she closed her legs after Carl licked her up.


    ¡°Is that enough for you?¡± He asked after some minutes of silence just watching her return back to herself.


    ¡°It is¡­¡± she paused and sat up again when her body calmed.


    ¡°It is everything I expected.¡± Shepleted, climbing back into the pool.

 EPISODE 25 Satisfying him

    MOON STONE PACK


    Meagan pinned him at the edge too. ¡°Sit down.¡± She instructed.


    Carl raised his eyebrows. ¡°What are you trying to do?¡± He asked.


    ¡°Repay you for the good time.¡± She replied.


    ¡°Is that necessary?¡± Carl coaxed but soon let out a groan when she touched his swim trunk. His cock was so hard.


    ¡°You need me.¡± She trailed her finger over his chest before sliding her other hand into the trunk.


    ¡°Wow.. what a stamina.¡± She mouthed.


    Slowly she pulled down the swim trunk halfway before he sat at the edge of the pool. Carl pulled off the materialpletely from his body. She imagined what it would be like if his cock was fully erected.


    Carl repositioned himself so she could take control.


    She was ying the fantasy game of being Allison the witch of Maridom and not Meagan Swift. Fine! He has seeded in getting her, pulling down her walls and making her back down on her decision.


    Meagan decided to savor the moments with this man knowing that things would end between them on Sunday and they would go their separate ways.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    ¡°So when will theter be?¡± Meagan kept his gaze, dragging her fingertips around his thighs until her hand gripped his cock.


    ¡°Meagan¡­¡± Carl shuddered.


    ¡°I like the sound of my name on your lips.¡± She leaned forward, her hot breathe tingling the flexible skin around his pintle.


    ¡°Theter-¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t say anything.¡± She silenced him.


    Meagan began stroking him with her fingers getting him to twitch under her touch. Her face went down on him and her tongue licked the head of his cock to the bottom of his length. She wrapped her lips around his head and sucked a few more times before taking him down in her throat.


    Carl groaned, he touched her hair packing it up to wrap it around his hand, pulling her closer and down on his length. He grounded his hips into her mouth and her head followed his length in a up and down rhythm.


    He moaned her name, pulling at her hair to go with the movement. He felt his member twitched harder when a droolnded at the base of his length. If they weren¡¯t trying to y safe, he would have taken her right there, fulfilling everything he had imagined doing with her. But he would hold back untilter and he hope it woulde soon.


    Meagan took his whole length down her throat as she toyed with his balls at the same time.


    ¡°Fuck¡­¡± Carl groaned when she moved faster up and down his cock.


    And soon he felt himself close. His head fell back. ¡°Oh.. Meagan!¡± He breathed out.


    She pulled away, stroked his election faster until he felt his release.


    Carl pulled her closer, mming his mouth on hers as his hands cupped her ass cheeks. But a vibration called at their attention from somewhere close by.


    Meagan pulled away immediately as if the contact had burned her. She thought someone was close by watching them and Carl sensed her fear.


    ¡°Rx, it is my cellphone.¡± He said.


    Meagan heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°You should answer it.¡± She mumbled as he sucked at her skin somewhere closer to her neck.


    ¡°It can wait. But why do we get distracted by a cellphone?¡± Carl chuckled.


    ¡°Maybe we should always turn off the device next time.¡± Meagan giggled.


    ¡°Will there be a next time?¡± Carl asked, looking straight into her eyes.


    ¡°If you promise to keep it a secret then I am in for a next time.¡± Meagan pressed a kiss to his lips.


    ¡°I am the most secretive wolf on earth.¡± Carl joked.


    Sheughed, her fingers trailing his tight jaw. She was able to let this man bring down her well built walls. A defensive wall she had put up over the years to protect her heart from getting broken again. She wanted him. All of him and she would take the chance even though it was for a short period.


    ¡°My room by 12:00 am tonight. Everyone would be asleep in the guesthouse by that time.¡± She was inviting him over toplete what they have started.


    ¡°What¡¯s your room number?¡± Carl asked.


    ¡°Room 207. Make sure no one sees you.¡± She kissed him again.


    Carl knows the entrance and exits and secret doors into the guesthouse. He knows the building like the back of his palms. He reached out to trail a wet fingertips down her cheeks.


    ¡°I¡¯ll look forward to having a wonderful night with you, Allison.¡± He murmured.


    ¡°Likewise.¡± Meagan stepped out of the pool to wear her outfit.


    Carl stood at his full length all naked he made his way to the tree where he had kept his clothing.


    Meagan couldn¡¯t hold back a giggle as she watched him walking away naked. He nced back at her and shed her a grin.

 EPISODE 26 Bridal tears

    MOON STONE PACK


    Meagan went back to the guesthouse, had a good bathe before putting a call through to her best friend. Hazel picked on a third ring.


    ¡°Hello bes,¡± Meagan said.


    ¡°Meagan¡­.¡± Hazel¡¯s voice trailed off.


    ¡°Are you back from work? What¡¯s wrong?¡± Meagan demanded as she noticed Hazel¡¯s unusual tone.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing¡­ I am fine. Just-¡± her voice broke off.


    ¡°Can youe over right now? Hazel is not in a good shape. She had been crying since we got back from work.¡± Brianna said over the phone.


    Meagan could hear Hazel¡¯s sobs underneath. ¡°I¡¯ll be right there with you.¡± She disconnected the call.


    She got out of the bed, raced out of her room and locked the door. She wondered what could have happened to her best friend for Hazel to break down that way.


    Finally, Meagan reached the beta¡¯s home. Hazel sat on the couch with piles of tissue sitting close to her and also across the floor near her legs.


    Beta Julius stood just simply watching his mate. He didn¡¯t know what else to do to make Hazel open up to him. Even Brianna didn¡¯t know the exact reason why she was crying.


    Megan kept an eye on Hazel as she sat beside her on the couch. ¡°What happened?¡± She asked the beta and his sister.


    ¡°I have no clue and I have been trying to get her to open up to me but she won¡¯t say anything.¡± Beta Julius replied.


    ¡°Hazel, tomorrow is your wedding so you shouldn¡¯t be crying. Do you want people to stay away from the bride with the swollen eyes?¡± Brianna asked in a calm tone.


    Over the past fifteen years, Meagan has seen her best friend in different mood, but whenever she refused to open up to anyone then something wasn¡¯t quite right. Meagan remembered a time in high school when the boy Hazel liked had bad mouthed her and imed that she was trying to force herself on him. Those words spread around the school like wide fire and everyone gossiped about her. His words had hurt her deeply as Hazel had cried for several hours in hiding before Meagan could find her.


    Back then, Meagan did a great job at encouraging her best friend to put those words behind her. And with a smile on Meagan¡¯s face, she had reassured her best friend about how beautiful and special she was as a wolf.


    Now here they are again, trying to figure out a way to get her best friend to open up to her. Meagan reasoned that it could be that Hazel was like this for the same reason.


    ¡°Hazel,¡± Meagan moved closer to her best friend on the couch. ¡°Do you want to have a conversation in private?¡± She gave her a tissue to wipe her tears.


    Hazel sobbed loudly.


    ¡°She won¡¯t just say anything! Our wedding is in less than twenty four hours and you are in tears? This is definitely not from excitement!¡± Beta Julius said in a slightly raised tone. He was frustrated. He was scared that his mate might be thinking of calling of the wedding because she had kept on saying that she didn¡¯t deserve himst night.


    ¡°Calm down Julius, she doesn¡¯t need you to raise your voice at her.¡± Brianna scolded her brother.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Meagan held her best friend¡¯s hand. ¡°Hazel, are you having a second thought about your wedding?¡± She asked.


    Hazel shook her head negatively causing her mate to sigh in relief.


    ¡°Are you feeling nervous about tomorrow?¡± Brianna demanded.


    Hazel sniffed as she held onto Meagan tightly.


    ¡°Listen Hazel, it¡¯s fine to be nervous about tomorrow. I mean.. I am nervous too because I am getting married to the woman I love. But I just don¡¯t understand you anymore.¡± Julius said with a pleasing look on his face.


    Hazel¡¯s head spun to look up at her mate. ¡°Do you think I am a gold digger?¡± She muttered.


    ¡°What?!¡± Julius gazed as he arched his brows at the same time.


    ¡°What do you mean, Hazel?¡± Brianna asked. They couldn¡¯tprehend her words.


    Meagan could feel Hazel¡¯s hand trembling as she held on to her. Hazel¡¯s head dropped down to stare at their locked hands.


    ¡°I never said you are a gold digger. Where on earth did you get such thought?¡± Beta Julius frowned.


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t you that said it. I.. I.. heard-¡± Hazel¡¯s voice trailed off as more tears streamed down her face.


    Meagan was right as she had predicted. Hazel can¡¯t take someone bad mouthing her or rumor about her flying around like wild fire.


    ¡°What did you hear, Hazel?¡± Julius asked in a calm tone.


    ¡°I heard some wolves at the infirmary saying that I am a gold digger. That I-¡± Hazel stopped and drew in a sharp breathe.


    ¡°Who are those wolves?!¡± Julius furrowed his eyebrows.


    Hazel continued. ¡°They said I don¡¯t deserve you as my mate. That I am living off my mate and the pack¡¯s resources.¡± She cried.


    Anger crossed Beta Julius expression.


    ¡°They didn¡¯t know I was close by, listening to them talk bad about me. They described me to be a pretentious wolf and I have seeded in seducing you to get married to me so I won¡¯t have to work hard to get any resources as a wolf.¡± Hazel couldn¡¯t control her tears as she let it flow freely.


    ¡°Who are those wolves talking shit about you?! Give me their names and I will help them keep their mouths shut!¡±  Julius gritted his teeth in anger. Thest thing he wanted was to see his mate hurting by bad words said by other wolves.

 EPISODE 27 Gossiping wolves

    MOON STONE PACK


    Hazel shook her head in disagreement. She wasn¡¯t going to spill their names even though she knew those wolves background.


    ¡°There won¡¯t be need going after them.¡± She mumbled.


    ¡°I know those wolves, Julius.¡± Brianna blurted out causing Hazel to look up at them.


    ¡°Who are they?!¡± Julius demanded.


    Brianna looked away from Hazel, ignoring her eyes pleading to not say anything to the beta. Although she was surprised Brianna knew those wolves.


    ¡°Eva, Ava and Arya.¡± Brianna replied.


    Julius forehead creased. ¡°The triplet?¡±


    ¡°Yes. They are the new trainees at the infirmary. I heard them gossiping about your wedding. I even saw Hazel walking away after listening to them.¡± Brianna answered, a deep frown grazing her expression.


    ¡°You saw me?¡± Hazel asked.


    Brianna nodded. ¡°Those girls are cunning wolves. I can¡¯t believe they could talk bad about you after you tried to help them get a spot in the infirmary. The Theta didn¡¯t want those girls but you did your best to help. So ungrateful bitches.¡± Brianna hissed.


    ¡°I won¡¯t let it slide.¡± Julius clenched his fists. He was furious, knowing that they would have said much things about his mate to other wolves too.


    ¡°I made a report to the theta and she tried calling the alpha but he didn¡¯t pick up his phone. I don¡¯t know if they would have discussed it now.¡± Briana sighed.


    When the theta called the alpha, he was busy with Allison the witch of Maridom at the pool.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be right back. Take care of her.¡± Julius grabbed his jacket on the couch.


    ¡°Make sure you deal with those wolves!¡± Brianna said loudly.


    ¡°Julius-¡± Hazel called him but her mate was already out mming the door in the process. ¡°You should stop him, Brianna.¡± She said.


    ¡°I won¡¯t stop him even if I have the chance to do so. Those wolves deserve whatever punishment they would get from the alpha for making you feel this way. They are just jealous of you!¡± Brianna hissed out.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t make any sense. Calling you a gold digger is the worse thing. They have no idea about what you have been through your whole life.¡± Meagan helped Hazel wipe her tears.


    ¡°If only I didn¡¯t lose my parents at an early age. If only I didn¡¯t have to depend on the pack resources to get a formal education. If only I have had things easy in life then they won¡¯t have said those words about me.¡± Hazel sobbed.


    ¡°Come on Hazel, don¡¯t think like that. You have tried your best for the pack. I mean, you are doing a good job at the infirmary, training wolves and even encouraging them to get a formal education. Do I need to list them all to you before knowing that you are nothing but a blessing to moon stone pack?¡± Brianna stood at akimbo.


    ¡°You are not pretentious. Hazel, you are not a gold digger. You have been my best friend for more than fifteen years now, if you are a gold digger then I don¡¯t think we would havee this far together.¡± Meagan said in a calm tone.


    ¡°Exactly!¡± Brianna snapped her fingers.


    ¡°You never even epted things from me when we were little. You always save up from the money you got from your pack just so you won¡¯t go begging for things from our roommates. You took on part time jobs in college even when your alpha gave the assurance that your expenses are covered. You are the reason why I grew up to love your kind. So you shouldn¡¯t let what they say about you get into your head. Forget about gossip and focus on the big day tomorrow.¡± Meagan gave her best friend¡¯s hand a small squeeze.


    ¡°Look, we are all having a good time because of you. You have nned this event so well with the party nners. And I am sure the guests are so happy for you and Julius.¡± Brianna sighed as she sat on the couch.


    ¡°Please don¡¯t let anyone ruin your wedding. You have worked so hard to n this event so you should make it a memorable one for yourself.¡± Megan said with sincerity in her tone.


    ¡°Forget those wolves! Everything they said about you is wrong!¡± Brianna added.


    ¡°You deserve all the happiness, Hazel.¡± Meagan assured her best friend with a smile.


    Hazel turned to face Meagan and they embraced each other. ¡°Please don¡¯t cry.¡± Meagan pat her back gently.


    Brianna left for the kitchen to grab a brush and parker to clean the floor full of soaked and crumbled tissue paper.


    ¡°The spirit bride will haunt those wolves down. I hope they don¡¯t show their faces at the wedding or else I will w at their faces.¡± Brianna swept the floor.


    Meagan withdrew from the embrace after Hazel calmed down.


    ¡°What would be their punishment?¡± Meagan asked Brianna.


    ¡°Nothing really serious.¡± Brianna answered.


    ¡°What?¡± Meagan asked.


    ¡°Since they are still young wolves, they will write an apology letter to her,munity service for probably two weeks and the Gammas would scold them.¡± Brianna answered.


    ¡°That should be enough to make up for what they have done. Although I wish they didn¡¯t have to gossip about my best friend.¡± Meagan sighed.


    Hazel sniffed. ¡°Thank you, Brianna for sticking up for me.¡±


    ¡°Listen Hazel, I wish you can always be more open up to Julius about whatever you are going through. You can¡¯t keep things to yourself because he is your mate.¡± Brianna replied.


    Meagan shook her head in agreement. ¡°You are right, Brianna.¡±


    ¡°And what if Meagan wasn¡¯t here to get you to open up? We won¡¯t have been able to know what went wrong.¡± Brianna itched the bridge of her nose.


    ¡°She would have opened up to you guys but it might take a long time.¡± Meagan replied.


    Hazel looked at her best friend. ¡°I am changing. Meagan, trust me, I tell Julius almost everything. I just couldn¡¯t-¡±


    Meagan interrupted her. ¡°It¡¯s alright. I understand you.¡± She mumbled.


    ¡°Thank you, Meagan for always being there for me.¡± Hazel managed a smile on her face.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    ¡°Cheer up, best friend.¡± Meagan smiled.


    ¡°Can we have dinner now?¡± Brianna said loudly on her way to the kitchen.


    ¡°We¡¯ll have to prepare something.¡± Hazel replied.


    ¡°No, they won¡¯t be any need to cook anything. I found food in the refrigerator. I think Julius ordered some from the pack house.¡± Brianna said.


    ¡°We should eat.¡± Hazel said, facing her best friend.


    Meagan nodded. And they stood up from the couch, holding each other hands as they walked to the kitchen.

 EPISODE 28 The seductress

    MOON STONE PACK


    After dinner at the beta¡¯s home, Meagan headed back to the guesthouse. Beta Julius didn¡¯t return back to his apartment till she left. And just the anticipation of spending the night with the warlord made her feel like a teenager in love.


    Meagan¡¯s gaze drifted down to her phone as she fell on the bed. The time was 11:25 pm. She had spent so much time with her best friend, making the final ns about tomorrow¡¯s event. The warlord would be here soon.


    She stood up, stripped out of her clothes and rushed into the bathroom to take a quick shower.


    After she had a hot bathe, Meagan wore a ck Dolce & Gabbanace night dress that revealed her cleavage and also a red lingerie underneath. She dried her hair and packed it up in a bun style that sat at the center of her head. She stood in front of the mirror checking out her reflection to see if she was sexy enough to seduce the warlord.


    Tonight, she was ying the role of a seductress. Something she has never imagined that she would ever do in her life.


    ¡°I guess.. people change.¡± She mumbled.


    She was changing up her personality and appearance to suit the fantasy in her head. She had made the decision to be reckless and be sexually wild with a total stranger.


    Meagan sprayed her body before heading back to the bed to wait for the warlord. She furrowed her eyebrows as a thought crossed her mind. She reached for her phone to call him but also remembered that she doesn¡¯t have the stranger¡¯s number.


    It was important for him toe along with protection or else everything she had imagined they would do won¡¯t happen.


    Few minutes clicked by, and she heard a soft knock on the door. She switched off her phone and tossed it under the pillow. She tidied the bed sheet, checked herself out in the mirror for thest time before walking to the door.


    Meagan breathed out heavily before opening the door.


    ¡°Hi, Allison.¡± Carl mouthed, a smile on his face.


    She opened the door wide for him to step into the room. She closed the door quietly before turning to face him. And then she took in his appearance.


    His long manly hair was falling loosely over his shoulder, the shirt he wore wasn¡¯t fully buttoned and it revealed his solid chest and he paired it with a ck khaki short. He had a bottle of wine in his hand too.


    ¡°A drink to start the night.¡± Carl raised the bottle up when he noticed her gaze drifting down at it.


    Meagan had made this decision so she wasn¡¯t going to change her mind.


    ¡°Do you have a ss here? I didn¡¯t remember to bring one.¡± Carl asked as he walked further into the room.


    His wolf nostrils caught the smell of body spray instead of her natural body scent.


    ¡°Yeah, I still have one here from the bottle I ordered yesterday afternoon.¡± Meagan moved to the bed drawer to pick up the ss.


    ¡°You don¡¯t mind sharing the ss with me right?¡± Carl asked remembering that she didn¡¯t like how he had snatched the ss from her at the Halloween party.


    ¡°I don¡¯t mind. I¡¯ll be right back.¡± Meagan dashed into the bathroom to rinse the ss.


    ¡°How was dinner at your friend¡¯s ce?¡± Carl asked as soon as she came out of the bathroom.


    She had told him at the pool that she would be visiting her friend.


    ¡°It was fine. She couldn¡¯t stop crying about some terrible things three wolves said about her.¡± Meagan answered, handling the sses to him.


    ¡°Oh! I am sure they would get punished by the Gammas.¡± Carl said.


    Meagan positioned herself to sit close to him at the edge of the bed. ¡°Is the pack bounded by so many rules?¡± She asked.


    Carl poured wine into the ss. ¡°Why did you ask?¡±


    ¡°Well¡­ I am just surprised there is a punishment for gossipers.¡± Meagan said with a shrug.


    Carl looked at her. ¡°They won¡¯t be getting a cruel punishment if they are young wolves.¡± He handed her the ss of wine.


    ¡°In our world, we just let gossipers go scot free. There is nothing much to say or do to someone bad mouthing you.. although some resort to violence.¡± She drank from the ss.


    ¡°Where there is now, there is no crime. The young wolves needs thorough training to be better.¡± Carl reached for the ss and he lifted it to his mouth. He sipped from the exact spot her lips had touched the same way he had done at the party.


    ¡°The alpha must be doing a great job at keeping the pack in a good shape. I mean¡­ it¡¯s surprising how many humans turned up for this celebration.¡± Meaganmented.


    ¡°He would be proud of himself if he was here with us.¡± Carl chuckled.


    ¡°Do you know the alpha? I mean are you close friends with him?¡± Meagan asked.


    Carl looked straight into her eyes. He was tempted to spill it out that he was the alpha of moon stone pack. But he didn¡¯t want to scare her by the revtion so it won¡¯t ruin the nned night.


    ¡°I won¡¯t say that I am close friends with the alpha. But he is nice to everyone so we owe our loyalty and respect to him.¡±  He picked out his words carefully.


    Meagan nodded her head. ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡°You sound so interested in the alpha? Perhaps have you met him?¡± Carl asked.


    Meagan raised her eyebrows. ¡°No.. no.. not at all. And I am not sure.. I want to meet him.¡± She forced a smile on her face.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    ¡°Why?¡± Carl asked.


    ¡°I don¡¯t deem it necessary.¡± Meagan replied with a shrug.


    Carl was d that he didn¡¯t reveal his identity to her. He was right after all ¨C his position in the pack would scare her away.


    ¡°I like what you are wearing.¡± He muttered, his gaze lingering down to her body.


    Meagan took the ss from him and gulped down the whole liquid.


    ¡°Hey, do you n to get drunk?¡± He took the ss and bottle and set it down at the foot of the bed.


    ¡°What do you think?¡± Her fingers dropped down to her exposed chest.


    Carl inched closer to her. ¡°This is sexy enough to seduce any man.¡± He ced his finger on her chest, trailed it down on it until it met her fingers. ¡°Good job, Allison.¡± He smirked.


    ¡°You are definitely in trouble, warlord Baron.¡± She mouthed.


    ¡°Is that another challenge?¡± He brought his face closer.


    ¡°Are you up for it?¡± Meagan licked her lips seductively as if knowing the action always made him lose his control.


    ¡°Oh Allison-¡± his thumb flicked over her lips. ¡°I always get what I want, Allison.¡±


    The warmth from his thumb spread through her body. His words were turning her on, making her panties wet.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be too confident, Baron.¡± Meagan whispered with her mouth almost touching his mouth.


    ¡°I like this, Allison.¡± Carl pressed his lips on hers and she moaned softly.

 EPISODE 29 First night with the warlord

    MOON STONE PACK


    Meagan moved as close as she could be to him, granting his more ess into her mouth. Carl explored the tenderness and sweetness that came with kissing her. She moved her arms up to his neck while his hand dropped to herps, making its way into her night gown. He felt the flimsy material as they kissed passionately.


    Meagan let him pull the nightgown over her head, she moved up and bnced on hisps and started to tuck at the buttons on his shirt before sliding it off him. She grounded her hips against him until he felt hard in his short.


    Minutes passed, their clothes aside on the floor with just panties and short remaining on them. They were licking, sucking and biting at different areas of their skin. He ran his hands over all her body, exploring each nipples. He pressed his mouth to every part of her skin, igniting her arousal.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Meagan slid her palms over his bare chest, licking the tips of his small nipples, teasing him until a groan reverberated from his throat. They were free to explore each other¡¯s body.


    Meagan put an end to the kiss as she stood up from hisps. She stretched her hand towards him, urging him to get on his feet. She slide out of her pantiespletely and stood naked in front of him. And with a smile on her face, she tried to take his short off but he stopped her.


    Meagan raised her eyebrows. ¡°I have something in it.¡± Carl grinned as he tucked his hand into the short and brought out a pocket of condom.


    She took it from him and tossed it on the bed. Soon his short and boxers joined the other clothing on the floor. After a slow kiss, Meagan went down on her knees with her face right in front of his cock.


    A groan rammed deep in his chest as she massaged his balls with her free hands.


    ¡°This is going to be an adventurous night, warlord.¡± Meagan met his gaze as her lips touched the head of his cock.


    ¡°Yes Allison.¡± Carl whispered her name when she took him inside her throat. His hand touched her head as he pushed himself deeper into her mouth.


    Meagan didn¡¯t break off the eye contact as she let him mouth fuck her in a way that made her core wet. She pulled out and teased the head of his cock with her tongue and hand blow him at the same time. Soft moans emitted from both of them, his hand pushing on the back of her head to take his cock further into her mouth when she sucked him.


    Meagan eyes watered up as drools slipped through the corners of her mouth. His cock twitched inside her mouth and soon she felt him ready to release.


    ¡°Oh Allison, this is.. so.. fucking.. good.¡± Carl groaned as his muscles grew tensed and with one more bob into her mouth and he was out of his mind. He released into her mouth.


    Meagan had done a good job at blowing him at the pool. And she has done it again. She pulled her head back letting his cum seep through the corners of her mouth.


    When she stood up Carl imed her waist and she climbed up on him wrapping her legs around his waist. He kissed her and started back to the bed.


    But she had himying on his back on the bed first with her hot core pressing down on his cock.


    Carl chuckled at the trick. He brought her face down to his, pecked her nose and lips. ¡°Not too soon, Allison.¡± He wrapped his arms around her body and flipped them so she was now on her back.


    Meagan giggled at the action. His body was between her legs as he hovered over her. He nipped at the skin on her neck, sucked on it leaving hickeys on every spot he touched. Meagan met his eyes before he travelled further down and brought down his lips to her nipples. He let his breathe fan over her nipples making them harder. He sucked one while his other free hand massaged the second nipples. He swirled his tongue around the tips taking turns on each nipples causing her to moan.


    Meagan felt his cock at the center of her aching core as he moved. ¡°Carl¡­¡± she mumbled.


    He wasn¡¯t nning to have a quick sex with her. He wanted to make love to her.


    ¡°I can¡¯t wait.. to feel you cum on me.¡± Carl whispered, spreading her legs.


    ¡°I want you, Carl.¡± Meagan muttered.


    ¡°Soon, Allison. Just a little more. Your body is so perfect.¡± He looked at her center.


    He hadn¡¯t gotten a chance to see a clearer view at the pool because it was dark. It was their first sex so he was taking out his time to pleasure her. No need to rush because they have the whole night together.


    Meagan¡¯s clit was swollen and wet. She was so ready for him. She knew it would take her time to adjust to him considering the fact that it had been more than three years since she got intimate with a man.


    ¡°Don¡¯t.. just stare at my core, Carl. I fucking want you!¡± She snapped, her fingers dropping to her clit as if she wanted to pleasure herself.


    Carl growled as he watched her massaging her clit and moaned softly. He stopped her. And without hesitation, he kissed her belly button down to her center.


    Carl used his middle finger to touch her clit, sliding it up and down, using the wetness to make it more sensitive. His tongue circled her entrance,pping her wetness before driving two fingers into her.


    ¡°Fuck! Carl!¡± Meagan moaned loudly but her hand came down on her mouth to stop the sound abruptly.  She wouldn¡¯t want anyoneing to knock on her door.


    ¡°You can scream all you want, Allison. The doors in the guesthouse are sound proofed.¡± Carl tongue and fingers fucked her core.


    ¡°That¡¯s a relief.¡± She moaned again. Her hand reaching out to grab his head as she grinned her hips to his face.


    She struggled to keep her legs opened as tension built inside her, making her body be too sensitive to his touch. She curled her toes, the muscles of her core tightened and she grabbed on the bed covers.


    Carl pressed three fingers into her, the other hand rubbing her clit as he fucked her faster.


    Meagan¡¯s body jerked, her hips lifting and her back arching up from the bed to take him deeper. Carl held her hips down as he slid his fingers deeper in and out of her core. She cried out his name when the pleasure became too much for her to bear. She shut her eyes and threw her head back.


    ¡°Oh.. shit! Carl-stop!¡± She moaned as she was almost close to a shaking mess.

    She struggled to keep her legs opened as tension built inside her, making her body be too sensitive to his touch. She curled her toes, the muscles of her core tightened and she grabbed on the bed covers.


    Carl pressed three fingers into her, the other hand rubbing her clit as he fucked her faster.


    Meagan¡¯s body jerked, her hips lifting and her back arching up from the bed to take him deeper. Carl held her hips down as he slid his fingers deeper in and out of her core. She cried out his name when the pleasure became too much for her to bear. She shut her eyes and threw her head back.


    ¡°Oh.. shit! Carl-stop!¡± She moaned as she was almost close to a shaking mess.


    No she didn¡¯t want him to stop. Carl liked that he had herpletely hooked and thest thing he wanted to do was stop pleasuring her.


    He continued to finger fuck her, bringing down his tongue top her wetness while he looked at her.


    Meagan peeled her eyes opened, her ck eyes meeting with his Irish eyes filled with lust and desires. She became a panting mess, screaming out as his fingers hit her g-spot over and over again. She couldn¡¯t control it. She couldn¡¯t hold on anymore. She closed her eyes tightly, arched her back, her stomach clenched and her body became tensed.


    Meagan jerked her hips even though he tried to hold her down again.


    ¡°Oh! Fuck! I am close!¡± She cried out loudly.


    ¡°Cum for me¡­¡± One thrust into her core and she reached climax and came.


    Her legs were shaking as she released herself. It felt like she was seeing star in her business as she closed her eyes tightly.


    This is the hardest and longest she had ever cum in her whole life.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Meagan opened her eyes after she calmed down. Her heart beat heavily as she met his gaze.


    Carl had a smug look on his face while he cleaned up her core with his fingers. He reached up to kiss her so she could also taste herself. She wrapped her legs around his hips.


    ¡°I want you. I want to feel you, Carl.¡± She mumbled into the kiss as he pulled away.


    ¡°You have no idea of how much I want to bury myself deep inside of you, Allison.¡± Carl reached for the packet of condom. And he tore one out of it and wore it over his cock.


    After the encounter in the pool, images of her riding him had filled his mind. He wanted her so much. His head teased her center as he leaned down and ced kisses on her forehead.


    ¡°Ready?¡± He mumbled.


    Carl positioned himself at her center as he waited for her response. ¡°Yes.¡± She hummed.


    He pushed himself into her core slowly. Meagan core stretched around his member and she moaned at the burning sensation.


    This feeling and sensation was all new to Meagan. She has never felt this way even with the man she had first loved in her life. Max had thought her so many sexual tricks.


    She thought they were in love. She thought what they had meant something to him because it meant a lot to her but in the end it was nothing. Max had only deceived her to take away her virginity and get her into his bed.


    Despite being in a rtionship, she was like his booty call. An object he used to satisfy his sexual gratification. Back then, she had been too blinded by his feigned love and her inexperience that she didn¡¯t know he had her wrapped up in his web of lies.


    And here she was again satisfying her lustful desires with a man she barely knows.


    ¡°So tight¡­¡± Carl gave her enough time to adjust before he began to thrust inside her until he filled herpletely.


    Meagan grabbed his shoulders, dig her nails into his skin and her moaning grew louder at every thrust.


    Carl groaned as he thrusted deeper, hitting her g-spot almost at every m in her core.


    Few minutester, Meagan could feel herself bing close to reaching cloud nine again. She didn¡¯t want it to end. She buried her head into the crook of his neck and bucked her hips to meet every thrust.


    Carl leaned up, grabbed her waist and mmed into her, slowing down but each thrust was deep and hard.


    ¡°Carl¡­¡± she grabbed the pillow and bed covers.


    He thrusted in and out of her core harder and pushing her to the edge. She curled up her toes and her body became extra sensitive.


    Meagan hand slide down to touch her clit as she massaged it. She could feel the sensation well up again inside her walls.


    Carl cock twitched inside her, their moans and the sound of his cock mming against her core filled the whole room. He changed style, hanging her legs up in the air as he hit her harder and the pleasure became more intense.


    ¡°I.. am.. close¡­¡± Meagan gritted.


    ¡°Cum.. for me..¡± Carl did a few more thrusts and she came over his cock.


    He twitched getting close to his release too. She opened her legs wider so he could go deeper a few more times.


    ¡°Fuck!¡± He pulled out of her, removed the condom to stroke his cock.


    Meagan got on her kneels and let him pour his release into her mouth.


    ¡°This.. is.. so.. fucking good!¡± Carl whimpered as she licked the head of his cock.


    They were both tired and consumed by exhaustion as they fell back on the bed. Carl dragged the bed cover over their body as she rested her head in his chest. And soon she drifted off to sleep while Car couldn¡¯t fall asleep.


    All he did was listen to her heart beat while his wolf inhaled more of her body scents. He just wanted toy with her and he sighed in satisfaction.


    Something sparked in him as he caressed her upper arms with his gaze fixated on the ceiling.

 EPISODE 31 Wanting more of her

    MOON STONE PACK


    TWO HOURS LATER


    At 2:30 am, Meagan opened her eyes. She lifted her head and locked gaze with Carl.


    ¡°You weren¡¯t sleeping?¡± She rubbed her sleepy eyes.


    ¡°I woke up not too long.¡± Carl whispered.


    ¡°Okay. I¡¯ll be right back.¡± Meagan slipped out of bed, all naked and she could feel his eyes on her as she walked into the bathroom to pee.


    Carl was sitting up on the bed, azy smile on his face when she came back into the room.


    ¡°What?¡± Meagan smiled when he didn¡¯t stop staring at her.


    ¡°I am just staring at a beautiful being.¡± He answered.


    A red color fanned her cheeks. Meaganughed as shey her head down on the pillow. He rested on one raised elbow and reached out to remove strands of hair from her face.


    ¡°I can¡¯t seem to just get enough of you.¡± Carl muttered as his thumb trailed over her lower lip.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    ¡°Want some more ride?¡± Meagan asked turning properly to face him.


    ¡°I don¡¯t mind.¡± Carl shrugged.


    Meagan sat up and nestled closer to him. She stroked his face before throwing the bed covers away from their bodies.


    ¡°Justy back down.. while I take control.¡± Meagan instructed.


    ¡°Alright. But we shouldn¡¯t forget this-¡± he reached out for a protection on the drawer close to the bed.


    ¡°Definitely.¡± Meagan sucked the head of his cock before she wore the protection on him.


    And she lowered herself slowly on him with her palms tly on his chest. She lifted up and down his erection.


    After her breakup with her first boyfriend, the first three months she had missed fucking him so much which made her resort in using her fingers to pleasure herself. She had missed everything about him even though he had broken her heart.


    Meagan never expected that she would one day give herself freely to a stranger. She would keep this weekend fling as a secret from her best friend knowing that it would all end soon. And they would go back to their normal lives.


    Meagan cried out as her core became sensitive to the fiction.


    Carl justy there watching in awe as she took control. She grind her hips in a circr motion. She bounced up and down his cock, taking all his length deeper into her. He watched her boobs bounced and he reached out to toy with them.


    Meagan rode him, taking every inch as her ass pped against the top of his thighs.


    He grabbed her hips pulling her to a stop. She arched her brows to ask why he stopped her.


    ¡°Lean on me.¡± He instructed.


    And without hesitation, Meagan rested her head on his chest, he caged her both hands behind her back and began to thrust into her.


    The movement made a several hit at her g-spot and she moaned out in pleasure. He thrusted deeper and harder until she felt herself close to climax.


    ¡°Carl¡­¡±


    ¡°Almost there¡­¡± he mmed into her two more times and she released on his cock.


    He let go of her hands while they switched position. Meagan went on her kneels, her ass poking right to his thigh and he fucked her from behind. She gripped on the sheet while he rammed into her. He increased the tempo until he was gone too.


    Carl pulled out, removed the condom, stroked his cock and came on her ass.


    ¡°Fuck! shit¡­¡± she felt his cum flow down her legs.


    She sighed in exhaustion. ¡°We should take a shower.¡± He mumbled.


    Meagan hummed in agreement. ¡°Together.¡± Carl added. She didn¡¯t say anything.


    ¡°Stay still while I clean this off.¡± He stood up from the bed and went to their clothes on the ground. He picked out her nightgown to wipe off his release on her ass and everywhere it had flowed to.


    ¡°So what do you say?¡± He asked as shey on her back, still spreading her legs wide.


    He slid in a finger and brought it out to lick it.


    ¡°You are such a bad boy, warlord.¡±  She moaned again when he slid in two fingers.


    ¡°We could have another episode of this adventure in the shower.¡± He leaned down and ced kisses all over her face causing her to giggle.


    With his third finger working it way in and out of her core and he waited for her response.


    ¡°Alright.¡± Meagan agreed.


    Carl grinned and stopped working his fingers in her. ¡°Good choice.¡± He helped her out of the bed and led them into the bathroom.


    He turned on the shower and she stood under it. He released her hair causing it to plunge down her back and his hand began to wash her body.


    ¡°Do I look like a bad boy to you?¡± Carl asked.


    ¡°You look like one.¡± Meagan replied, the water flowing down her body.


    Carl chuckled. ¡°I have never seen myself as a bad boy.¡± He touched her hair.


    He really loved these moments with this woman. Silly right? She was too attractive for him to control his sexual urge. Her body was damn perfect. Everything about this woman triggered arousal in him, something he hasn¡¯t desired in years.


    He brushed his strong arms over her ass cheeks. There is so much about her that he doesn¡¯t know yet. She have no idea about him. No Information about him except that he was dressed as a warlord in a Halloween party and he is a native of this pack. It was just a fling so she doesn¡¯t need to know. Meagan thought.

 EPISODE 32 In the shower

    MOON STONE PACK


    ¡°Are you married?¡± Meagan heard herself say to him.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    He didn¡¯t respond to her question.


    ¡°I am-¡±


    She turned to face him, a finger pressing to his mouth. ¡°Don¡¯t say anything.¡± She mumbled.


    She has decided to not know anything about this man. And it would remain that way.


    ¡°There is no need to know since this is just an adventure between us.¡± She added.


    ¡°A secret adventure between a warlord and a seer.¡± Carl replied.


    Meagan nodded. ¡°And remember that we agreed to keep this a secret between us.¡± She wrapped her hands around his neck.


    ¡°Sure, Allison.¡± Carl agreed as he brought his mouth down on hers.


    He tasted her sweetness with clean water. She felt his member twitched between her thighs as he moved her to the cold walls. Soon her hand reached down to stroke his cock roughly as she moaned softly when he kissed her neck.


    He grabbed her waist, lifted her up till her legs were wrapped around him. He pinned her closely against the cold wall as he slid into her. He grabbed her hands and pinned them over her head. He thrusted into her against the wall while water sputtered down on them.


    Their mouths locked again, he rocked her longingly and quickened his pace into her core. She moaned loudly as he bit down on her lower lips which sent a wave of arousal in them.


    ¡°This is.. fucking sweet¡­ Carl.. oh fuck!¡± She screamed out.


    ¡°You haven¡¯t done this before your whole life?¡± He groaned.


    ¡°Never-oh my goodness!¡± She cried out as orgasm ripped through her whole body while he released into her too. The action left them shaking against the wall for a couple of minutes. Onest thrusts into her and she called out his name.


    ¡°Carl!¡±


    They breathed out heavily. ¡°Are you okay?¡± He asked.


    She nodded and he set her down, her leg bncing with the ground as he held her in ce.


    ¡°What do you think?¡± He smirked.


    ¡°It was good.¡± She whispered.


    He kissed her fully on the lips for thest time. They had a proper bathe before going back into the room.


    Meagan picked up her nightgown and the used protections and went back into the bathroom. She dropped the nightgown into the sink and then flushed the used protections in the toilet.


    Carl already had his clothes on his body when she came back to the room. She grabbed another nightgown from her box and wore it.


    Carl smiled in satisfaction when shey on the bed. They were both tired. Carl had to leave because morning woulde very soon.


    ¡°I should leave now, Allison.¡± Carl said.


    Meagan nced at the rm on the drawer. The time was 4:00 am.


    ¡°Yeah.. you should leave before everyone wakes up.¡± Meagan sighed.


    ¡°No one would see me, trust me.¡± Carl replied.


    Meagan shook her head in response followed by a yawn.


    ¡°You should get enough rest.¡± Carl said.


    ¡°You should rest too.¡± She replied.


    Carl knew he was definitely going to see her again during the entrance rehearsal and she would find out about him. But he didn¡¯t say anything. He would figure out a way to handle things when the timees.


    ¡°Will you attend the wedding?¡± Meagan asked as she drew the bed cover over her body.


    ¡°Sure. I have to honor the beta of this pack.¡± Carl answered, standing from the bed.


    ¡°Alright.¡± She mumbled.


    ¡°Do you want to meet up after the wedding?¡± Carl bit his lower lip.


    She yawned. ¡°We can meet up before the wedding. No.. I don¡¯t know yet. But we can reach an agreement if we bump into each other at the wedding.¡± She responded.


    ¡°Alright. See youter, Allison.¡± He motioned towards the door and slid out into the silent hallway.


    Meagan reached for her phone under the pillow and she turned it on. Forgetting to set the rm to the time for rehearsal.


    Meagan drifted off to sleep quickly as she dreamt about the time she had spent with the stranger.

 EPISODE 33 A conversation

    MOON STONE PACK


    Meagan jolted up from the bed at the sound of the beeping device at 6:30 am. She had set the rm to this particr time two days ago. She gasped out in shock when she saw ten missed call on her phone after reaching out for it.


    Meagan hopped out of the bed quickly after realizing that she was one hour thirty minuteste for rehearsal. Hazel would be so mad at her for turning upte for rehearsal. She rushed into the bathroom to have the fastest bathe in record.


    She was dressed for the day in an off shouldered yellow top with ck skinny jeans and she paired it on a ck leather boot. She didn¡¯t bother to spend a minute on make up but managed to tidy her long hair in a ponytail it style. She tucked her cellphone and inhaler into her bag before rushing out of the room.


    The designated hall for the event wasn¡¯t close to the guesthouse and it would take her about twenty minutes to get there.


    Meagan knew her best friend would chew her out for turning upte as the chief bridesmaid. She has so much to do, leading other bridesmaids and helping her best friend out. Although Meagan already knows the function of a chief bridesmaid but at the same time she would have a hard time handling Hazel¡¯s temper.


    As soon as she stepped out of the huge ss door of the guesthouse to the dawn of a new day, she made her move to run. But her eyes caught a young man waving at her as he leaned on a car.


    Meagan looked back to see if there was someone else behind her but she found no one. She arched her eyebrows and pointed a finger at herself to confirm if he was referring to her.


    The young man was dressed in a denim shirt that rolled back to his forearms and he paired it on jeans and boots. When he started towards her, Meagan walked halfway to meet up with him.


    And with a smile on his face he said, ¡°Hi, I am Jones.¡± Holding out his hand towards her for a handshake.


    She noticed the metal braces in his dentition as he smiled at her. Meagan doesn¡¯t know him but he was polite so she has to reciprocate the politeness and not being rude. She shook hands with him.


    ¡°Meagan.¡±


    Jones nodded as if he already knew her name.


    ¡°I am sorry.. but I don¡¯t know you.¡± She said.


    Jones refused to let go of her hand. ¡°I saw you at the Halloween party but couldn¡¯t approach you because you were busy with someone else.¡±


    Meagan furrowed her eyebrows as she managed to release her hand from his hold. Okay, someone had seen her with the warlord. So why is he here? To find her and introduce himself? She mused.


    And as if Jones was reading her mind, he said. ¡°Hazel asked me to bring you to the location for the rehearsal. You arete.¡±


    He know Hazel? Meagan thought. Jones turned away towards the car and Meagan followed him immediately.


    ¡°Do you know Hazel?¡± She asked.


    ¡°I won¡¯t be here if I don¡¯t know her. I am one of the groomsmen.¡± Jones replied.


    ¡°Has the rehearsal ended?¡± She asked. ¡°Oh no.. you won¡¯t be here to pick me up if the rehearsal has ended.¡± She answered her question.


    ¡°Is Hazel mad at me?¡± Meagan asked again but Jones gave no response. He just opened the car door and gestured told her to get into it and she did as instructed.


    Jones went around the car and entered the driver seat. He started the car and it glided into motion.


    ¡°Jones, are the other bridesmaid at the location already?¡± Meagan said after two minutes into the drive.


    Jones nodded positively. ¡°Do you know if Hazel-¡±


    Jones interrupted her knowing her intended question. ¡°Hazel is pissed. There is a dy at the location. I mean the rehearsal is yet to kick off because the event nner is yet to be around plus she hasn¡¯t been picking up her phone calls.¡±


    ¡°Hazel will definitely rip off my head.¡± Meagan mumbled but enough for Jones to hear her.


    ¡°I am sure she won¡¯tsh out on you like she did with the other bridesmaids who were a minutete because you are her best friend.¡± Jones nced at her for a second before focusing on the road ahead.


    ¡°That makes it worse. Hazel is going to chew me out alive. The fact that she called me ten times and I didn¡¯t pick out.¡± Meagan heaved a sigh as she took out her cellphone from her bag.


    ¡°Yes Hazel was worried when you didn¡¯t pick up. She mentioned something about you having an attack. It scared the hell out of me so I epted toe pick you up. Are you okay?¡± Jones asked.


    Meagan wondered why a man she doesn¡¯t even know was scared for her. She shook her head to his question. ¡°Yes, I am fine.¡±


    ¡°Good to hear. The attendant didn¡¯t let me into the guesthouse to check on you. So I was waiting for the alpha to put a call through to them when you stepped out.¡± Jones exined.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t see anyone at the reception desk. But thank you for epting to pick me up.¡± Meagan said.


    ¡°You are wee.¡± Jones replied.


    Meagan clicked on her cellphone with the thought of putting a call through to Hazel at least to assure her that she was doing fine and to also have a better chance of not getting chewed out in the presence of other bridesmaids and groomsmen.


    If only Hazel knew that her best friend had a steamy night with a warlord and had forgotten to set the rm at the appropriate time. The sure thing is that Meagan would never mention the adventure with the warlord to her best friend. Sparks flew within her when she remembered the night spent with the warlord and she found herself thinking about him and everything they had done together.


    Meagan sighed out loud.


    ¡°Meagan, if you don¡¯t mind can we have a conversation instead of this silence and you sighing out loud?¡± Jones requested.


    ¡°I am sorry.. but I am not good at starting up conversations.¡± Meagan apologized.


    Jones raised his eyebrows. ¡°You don¡¯t need to apologize. I am pretty good at starting up a conversation.¡±


    Meagan just simply nodded her head.


    ¡°You slipped away from the Halloween party so quickly that I didn¡¯t get a chance to introduce myself to you.¡± Jones said.


    ¡°Well I didn¡¯t know someone was looking out to meet me. I went to the party with no expectation of meeting anyone.¡± Meagan replied with a shrug.


    ¡°But you met a charming warlord.¡± Jones smiled. And she looked away so quickly when their gaze met.


    ¡°I hope you had a great time with him?¡± Jones asked.


    Perhaps does he know about her fling with the warlord? Has he been following them around? Meagan pondered.


    ¡°We.. we didn¡¯t do much together. We just had a few drinks, ate in a garden, got interrupted by a peacock who spilled drink on my dress and I went off to thedies toilet to clean up. I saw Hazel and then had to say goodnight because I was tired.¡± Megan breathed out heavily after rushing out her words. It almost sounded like she was bbing.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t sound fun to me.¡± Jonesmented.


    ¡°I enjoyed the party.¡± Meagan muttered.


    ¡°How? Is it that fun or is it because of the warlord? Did you even get to dance with him that night?¡± Jones demanded.


    Yes she had fun because of the warlord and she had a dance with him in his apartment followed by a passionate kiss, making out at the pool and then a steamy sex night with him.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    Meagan wondered why this man kept emphasizing on her time with the warlord. Perhaps has he been stalking her? She was curious to find out if he knows anything else but she waved off the thought.


    Meagan decided to act like she didn¡¯t have anything to do with the warlord.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t get the chance to do anything with him.¡± Meagan answered.


    When he mentioned having a conversation she didn¡¯t know it would be just about her and the time spent with a warlord.


    ¡°How close are we to the hall?¡± Meagan asked.


    ¡°We are almost there.¡± Jones answered.


    Theypsed into silence but he broke it off soon.

 EPISODE 34 The new face

    MOON STONE PACKC¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    When he mentioned having a conversation she didn¡¯t know it would be just about her and the time spent with a warlord.


    ¡°How close are we to the hall?¡± Meagan asked.


    ¡°We are almost there.¡± Jones answered. Theypsed into silence but he broke it off soon.


    ¡°I bet it you don¡¯t remember me anymore, Meagan Swift.¡± Jones chuckled.


    Meagan looked up at him with a confused look on her face. ¡°I am not sure I have met you before now.¡±


    ¡°Of course you have met but you probably don¡¯t remember me or my face. I am Jones, Hazel¡¯s older cousin. The same guy who once asked you out.¡± Jones exined and her breathe caught.


    ¡°Jones the keppa?!¡± Meagan gasped out in shock.


    Jones nodded in agreement asughter erupted from him. Meagan remember him so clearly. The time she had sneaked away from home to visit Hazel at the pack, Jones was one of the wolves her best friend had introduced to her.


    Jones had fell in love with Meagan almost immediately and he stayed around her for the few days she had spent in the pack. She recalled him texting her in college to confess his love to her but she didn¡¯t give him the attention he wanted. Meagan had been clear that she doesn¡¯t feel anything for him.


    Jones had suggested several meet ups in those times but she never saw him once. She didn¡¯t want to keep his hope high by going out with him. Even Hazel didn¡¯t try to persuade her best friend to date her cousin. And when she saw that Meagan wasn¡¯t interested in Jones she had to tell him to step aside and let her be.


    Something wasn¡¯t quite right. The face of this man wasn¡¯t the face she knew back then even aside the fact that they are all grown ups now.


    ¡°I remember you. But why do you look so different?¡± Meagan asked.


    ¡°Hazel didn¡¯t tell you?¡± Jones questioned.


    Meagan tilted her head sideways to look at him. ¡°Tell me what?¡±


    He smiled. ¡°This face you are seeing isn¡¯t my real face.¡±


    Meagan furrowed her eyebrows. ¡°I don¡¯t understand you, Jones.¡±


    ¡°I had surgery to fix my face after a fire outbreak in our home.¡± Jones replied.


    Meagan eyes widened in surprise. ¡°Really?! Why?! Oh sorry.. the fire outbreak.. how did it happened?¡± She blurted out.


    ¡°I guess Hazel didn¡¯t tell you.¡± Jonesughed at the look on her face. Her expression was if he had suddenly grown two heads. And Jones was acting like whatever had happened to him wasn¡¯t a big deal anymore.


    ¡°A fire broke out in our home few months after you came visiting. Actually my mom didn¡¯t remember to turn off the gaspletely and my wolf wasn¡¯t sensitive enough to smell it because I was ill. Prior to that day, I got bitten by a poison snake when I went out hunting with a few wolves. The poison had spread throughout my wolf limbs before I was brought to the pack. And the poison weakened my wolfpletely.¡± Jones exined.


    ¡°Wait¡­ I think Hazel told me about her cousin involving in a fire ident but she didn¡¯t give me a full details of the incident.¡± A pitiful look crossed her expression.


    Jones shook his head. ¡°The fire broke out but I tried to save myself even after getting burnt. It affected some parts of my body¡­ my face especially and it had taken months for me to healpletely. So surgery was the only option I had to have a good looking face again. And well I had few major surgeries done too.¡± He pointed to his face.


    ¡°I am sorry. I didn¡¯t know it was that serious.¡± Meagan mumbled.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright. Although at some point I thought you knew about it and didn¡¯t want to meet me because of the reason.¡± Jones chuckled.


    ¡°Oh no, why would you think that way? I clearly had no idea you went through all of that. Hazel never mentioned it that it was you who got involved in a fire ident.¡± Meagan defended herself.


    Jones agreed. ¡°I know that now.¡± The car pulled to a stop slowly. ¡°Although I still don¡¯t mind knowing why you turned me down.¡±


    ¡°The feelings just wasn¡¯t there.¡± Meagan answered.


    ¡°Back then when we met, I thought you felt something for me that¡¯s why I had to wait to make my move while in college and by that time I was so sure about my feelings for you.¡± Jones removed his seat belt before turning to focus on her.


    Meagan tried to find a hint of the eighteen years old boy she once met when she was just sixteen but the face wasn¡¯t there anymore. This new face was nicely sculpted by a stic surgeon. And Jones had lots of tattoos on his arms.


    ¡°It took me a very long time to realize why my feelings had set in for you. It was a serious crush that had made me head over heels for you. I figured that it was your warm, nice and friendly manner that had encouraged me to make a move on you. And well¡­ I refused to ept the fact that it¡¯s just who you are, Meagan.¡± Jones expressed.


    ¡°Jones, we were kids so I didn¡¯t think that ying with you would get us anywhere.¡± Meagan responded.


    Jones nodded in disagreement. ¡°Exactly what I tried to tell myself over and over again throughout the years. But seeing you again ignited the feelings.¡±


    ¡°So what are you insinuating, Jones?¡± Meagan asked.


    ¡°Listen Meagan, I don¡¯t mean to pressure you. I understand that we haven¡¯t seen each other in years but we can start from somewhere ¨C maybe over again. A dinner out with me and also have a good time together. And I found out from Hazel about your residence and it turned out that we aren¡¯t far apart.¡± Jones had a huge smile on his face.


    ¡°I¡¯ll think about it, Jones.¡± Meagan sighed.


    ¡°Are you sure? Are you going to reply my text messages and also pick up my calls?¡± Jones demanded.


    Meagan shook her head. ¡°Yes.¡±


    And they exchanged numbers right there before sliding out of the car. They bounced up the five stairs leading to the door before entering into the hall.

 EPISODE 35 The jealous wolf

    MOON STONE PACK


    As soon as Meagan and Jones stepped into the hall, Hazel came rushing towards them but Meagan hid herself behind Jones quickly.


    Hazel arched her eyebrows. ¡°What happened, Meagan?!¡± She demanded.


    ¡°She is scared you will rip her off her head.¡± Jones mouthed.


    ¡°Ohe on Meagan, I won¡¯t do that to you.¡± Hazel ced her hands on her waist.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Meagan peeped from behind Jones frame that was big enough to take her small form.¡±Are you sure?¡± Meagan asked in a low tone.


    Hazel nodded.  ¡°Yes, I am sure.¡±


    ¡°I am sorry, Hazel. I didn¡¯t mean to turn upte for the final rehearsal.¡± Meagan apologized as she stepped out from behind Jones to stand beside him.


    ¡°I am pissed at you but at the same time I can¡¯tsh out on you because you were with me tillte night.¡± Hazel sighed.


    ¡°Thank you, Hazel.¡± A smile crept on her face. She didn¡¯t expect that her best friend would let her off the hook so easily.


    ¡°Is the wedding nner here?¡± Jones asked.


    ¡°Yes, I already said a lot to her before listening to her exnation. Her car broke down on her way down here so she had to trek the rest of the way and her phone was on silent for no reason.¡± Hazel responded.


    ¡°Can we start now?¡± Meagan asked.


    ¡°No, the event nner stepped out not too long to put a call through to the wolf in charge of food. This is wearing me out seriously, we don¡¯t have much time left.¡± Hazel rubbed her temples.


    ¡°I am sure today is going to be a great day. You just need to calm down and be positive.¡± Meagan encouraged her best friend in a soft tone.


    ¡°I¡¯ll try. Jones, thank you for picking her up. Oh Meagan! Do you remember my cousin that got involved in -¡±


    Meagan interrupted her. ¡°We had a conversation on our way. He is the same Jones.¡±


    Hazel exchanged nced with Jones. ¡°She knows that I got surgery done on my face. But why didn¡¯t you tell her about it? It got me thinking that she didn¡¯t want to meet me because of it.¡± Jones said before walking away.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡± Meagan asked.


    ¡°Well.. I thought you had feelings for him and it would break your heart that he almost lost his life. When Jones was desperate to see you again, I thought you wouldn¡¯t want to see him if I told you he got stic surgery done on his face.¡± Hazel exined.


    ¡°But I would have at least understand him better. Finding out what he has been through makes me  feel guilty for turning him down.¡± Meagan said with a guilty look crossing her expression.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have a good reason for keeping such from you. Maybe I wanted him to tell you himself but you didn¡¯t want to meet him.¡± Hazel held her best friend¡¯s hand. ¡°So if you are feeling guilty for not meeting him then you can make things up by having dinner with him. Jones stays close to your workce.¡±


    ¡°He already asked me to have dinner with him some time.¡± Meagan replied.


    Hazel rolled his eyes. ¡°He never missed a chance. You have no idea how much he has been disturbing me to share your contact and he asked me to set up a meeting with you some timest year but I didn¡¯t give a positive response. Jones was excited when I told him that you are my chief bridesmaid. That sly wolf! I am sure he travelled all the way to see you and not just because of my wedding.¡± Hazelughed.


    Jones walked over to meet the alpha who stood somewhere in the room watching Hazel and Meagan having a discussion. It was so hard for him to tear his eyes away from Meagan. Jones followed the alpha¡¯s gaze and he figured that he wasn¡¯t looking at the other bridesmaids but Meagan.


    Earlier on when Hazel was worried about Meagan, the alpha knew the reason for herteness. They had spent the whole night having sex until the morning so it must have been hard for her to get out of bed. When Carl got back to his apartment he couldn¡¯t sleep because he had gotten swamped with work after receiving email from an official concerning the new pack project.


    Everything they did lingered in his mind while he was working. His mind kept drifting back to the face of the woman who had given herself freely to him on the ount that they were on a secret adventure with a promise to keep things private.


    Carl couldn¡¯t make the offer to go check on Meagan so his flirtation won¡¯t be obvious and stir up gossip. And now she was here looking so beautiful making it hard for him to stop staring at her.


    Jones clearing of his throat jolted the alpha out of thought.


    ¡°Oh.. Jones you are back. I tried calling the reception desk but no one answered.¡± Carl looked away from Meagan to focus on Jones.


    ¡°Yeah. I brought along with me the important piece of the bridal train.¡± Jones joked.


    ¡°You.. mean Meagan?¡± Carl asked.


    ¡°Come on Carl, stop acting like you don¡¯t know her. I saw you two together at the Halloween party and I also just caught you staring at her.¡± Jones grinned sheepishly at the alpha.


    Carl hoped that Jones doesn¡¯t know more than just seeing them together at the party.


    ¡°Don¡¯t get things wrong, we didn¡¯t get to spend enough time together at the party.¡±  Carl figured that if they wanted to keep the fling a secret then he has to convince Jones that nothing has happened between them.


    ¡°But I would have loved to spend that little time you had with her. If only she didn¡¯t leave the party early.¡± Jones said.


    ¡°She must have been tired.¡± Carl responded.


    Jones shook her head. ¡°She said the same thing. But does she know?¡± He asked.


    Carl raised his eyebrows with a confused look on his expression. ¡°Does she know what?¡±


    ¡°Does she know about your position? I mean you being the alpha of this pack.¡± Jones answered.


    ¡°She doesn¡¯t know yet.¡± Carl said. But she will find out today.


    Carl wasn¡¯t sure he was ready to deal with whatever reaction mighte from Meagan if she finally gets to know that he is the alpha. But one thing was certain for him, he would try his possible best to have a private moment with her again before she leaves the pack.


    ¡°You should have told her about your position so it won¡¯tplicate things.¡± Jones sounded like he was aware about the fling but in the real sense he doesn¡¯t know anything. He was just sure that Meagan won¡¯t want to get close to Carl if she knew he is an alpha wolf.


    When they were young, Meagan had refused to attend a gathering organized by the alpha to have a nice time with all the young wolves in the pack. And she had admitted that she doesn¡¯t like alpha wolves because they are scary.


    ¡°Jones, I didn¡¯t see any need to tell her about it and remember that we didn¡¯t get to spend time together that night.¡± Carl forced a smiled on his face.


    ¡°Alright. I understand you.¡± Jones tucked his hand into his pocket as he watched Meagan.


    Beta Julius had joined the best friends now. Meagan wasughing at what Hazel had said.


    ¡°How long have you known her?¡± Carl asked.


    He wanted to know the connection Jones has with Meagan because of the way he had acted when she didn¡¯t show up on time. And he was so quick to ept the offer to pick up Meagan.


    ¡°We met when we were kids. I was eighteen and she was just sixteen. Meagan had sneaked away from home to see Hazel at our pack. You weren¡¯t in the pack at that time so don¡¯t even think of asking yourself why you didn¡¯t meet her.¡± Jonesughed.


    At that time, Carl was out of the pack studying in college and he rarely came home on holidays.


    ¡°So what do you think of her from the little time you spent with her?¡± Jones asked.


    ¡°She is beautiful¡­ that¡¯s all.¡± Carl replied.


    There are other things about her but he wouldn¡¯t want to discuss it with Jones so as not raise his suspicion.


    Jones chuckled. ¡°Yes, she is beautiful. And I am d you said there is nothing between you two yet. I have a huge crush on her since we were young. I once asked her out in college but she turned me down. But the rejection doesn¡¯t mean that I am backing down and it¡¯s a good thing she agreed to see me again.¡± He smiled happily.


    It wasn¡¯t hard for Carl to figure the reason for Jones questions. ¡°What do you mean by see you again?¡± Carl found himself asking.


    ¡°We might set up a dinner date.¡± Jones answered.


    Pang of jealousy shot within the alpha. Jones was trying to mark his territory and indirectly telling the alpha to back off from Meagan but in a polite way. Jones knew better, he doesn¡¯t want to disrespect the alpha and also ruin their long term friendship.


    ¡°I clearly understand what you are trying to say. But does she know about what happened to you?¡± Carl asked.


    Somehow his wolf wanted to hurt Jones for going after what they both wanted too ¨C Allison the witch of Maridom. But their cases are different. It was easy for Jones to make his feelings obvious to everyone but the alpha can¡¯t make his flirtation known to anyone. His wolf didn¡¯t like the idea that another wolf was trying to im her. And Carl couldn¡¯t understand the reason for his jealousy.


    ¡°We had a good conversation on our way down her. I had to tell her everything before Hazel reintroduced me to her. And guess what?¡±


    Carl didn¡¯t give any response. ¡°She was cool with me when I thought she wasn¡¯t going to be fine with me getting stic surgery. It feels like a heavy weight has been lifted off my shoulder. I am anxious about how we will end up this time.¡± Jones said with excitement in his tone.


    Carl tried to imagine Jones spending time with Meagan and just the thought of it made his wolf furious but he managed to keep calm. His eyes was fixated on Meagan and that helped to keep his wolf under control.

 EPISODE 36 Alpha Carl Damien

    MOON STONE PACK


    The alpha¡¯s eyes was fixated on Meagan and that helped to keep his wolf under control. Carl heard Jonesugh softly beside him and he looked at him. Jones was also watching Meagan. Julius arms went around his mate¡¯s shoulders.


    ¡°You look sweet together.¡± Meaganmented with a smile on her face.


    ¡°I am the happiest man on earth this week because I am getting married to the woman I love the most in the whole world.¡± Julius pinched his mate¡¯s cheeks.


    ¡°I am so happy for both of you. I wish you all the happiness in the world.¡± Meagan added.


    ¡°Thank you, best friend.¡± Hazel replied.


    ¡°Meagan, I hope you find someone soon too.¡± Beta Julius grinned.


    The warlord crossed her mind but she waved off the thought of him.


    Hazel gasped out all of a sudden. ¡°I remember now! There is someone I want you to meet! He is the best man for our wedding and -¡±


    Julius interrupted her. ¡°He is my best friend.¡±


    Hazel giggled. ¡°Your partner for this wedding.¡± She grabbed her best friend¡¯s hand and pulled her across the room. ¡°I can¡¯t wait to introduce you!¡±  She said with excitement in her tone.


    Meagan didn¡¯t have a chance to protest. She didn¡¯t want to meet anyone but she doesn¡¯t have a choice. There were about ten men in the room fulfilling the functions of groomsmen and she doesn¡¯t expect much from meeting any of them.


    ¡°You will definitely like him!¡± Hazel added.


    Meagan looked away from their locked hands and out of the corners of her eyes she saw Carl standing right beside Jones. She was surprised to see him. She tried to pull to a stop but Hazel already dragged her to the same area. Perhaps is he the same man her best friend wants her to meet? She pondered.


    Meagan tried to tell herself that he can¡¯t be the same man but Carl was looking straight back at her and she looked away to avoid his gaze.


    ¡°Hi Carl, meet my best friend, Meagan Swift.¡± Hazel introduced briefly. ¡°And Meagan, this is Carl Damien, the alpha of our great pack.¡±


    Meagan¡¯s head snapped up quickly with a wide eyes. The warlord is the alpha of moon stone pack! Howe she never figured it out before now? She wondered.


    Carl grinned up at Meagan. ¡°It¡¯s nice to meet you, Meagan Swift.¡± He acted like he doesn¡¯t know her. He was doing a good job at putting up a perfect show of being a stranger while Meagan was acting out. She found it hard to believe that she had an adventure with an alpha over night. No, this can¡¯t be happening! She said within herself.


    Jones watched their reactions. Carl stretched out his hand for an handshake. Meagan forced a smile on her face and shook hands with him.


    ¡°Delighted to meet you too, alpha Carl Damien.¡± She managed to train her voice not to stutter.


    ¡°Why are you both acting like you haven¡¯t met each other?¡± Jones snorted.


    Hazel arched her eyebrows in confusion. ¡°Have you met each other?¡± She asked.


    ¡°I saw them together at the Halloween party.¡± Jones answered.


    ¡°Really?¡± Julius said.


    ¡°No, I didn¡¯t know he is the alpha. I only met him as a warlord that night.¡± Meagan¡¯s response was quick and sharp. She didn¡¯t want her best friend to think anything else.


    ¡°And we didn¡¯t get to do much that night.¡± Carl added.


    ¡°Well that¡¯s nice. You guys still have to work together for my wedding.¡± Hazel said with a shrug.


    Meagan pulse raced at the smile on Carl¡¯s face. The thought of locking arms with the warlord turned alpha to perform her function made her knees so weak. He hasn¡¯t been attending rehearsals that¡¯s why she never found out that he would be the same man. Several thoughts ran through her mind as she pictured his gleaming eyes and shing smile from the Halloween party when he had walked up to her.


    ¡°I¡¯ll do a better job to lead the men.¡± Carl smiled as Meagan avoided making an eye contact with him at all cost.


    Julius pped his best friend¡¯s arm yfully. ¡°Carl, I am sure you will do a good job today.¡±


    Carl nodded his head. ¡°I¡¯ll try my best.¡±


    ¡°Listen Meagan, my best friend here knows a lot about you. My mate has done a good job at speaking good about you.¡± Juliusughed. And Carl wished he didn¡¯t have to say those words to her.


    Hazel nudged her best friend¡¯s side. ¡°I am sure you know something about my alpha now.¡± She winked as Meagan looked at her.


    Meagan could feel her legs almost giving out as realization hit her straight in the face. And if she doesn¡¯t sit down soon, she could feel herself crumbling to the ground. And with a feigned smile on her face, Meagan excused herself to visit thedies toilet. The couple watched as Carl¡¯s eyes followed Meagan and they exchanged nces.


    ¡°Jones, can youe over please?!¡± Brianna called him over to where she sat with Jeremy.


    Julius cleared his throat to call at Carl¡¯s attention. ¡°So you have finally met my best friend after listening to me b about her throughout the years. What do you think about her?¡± Hazel asked.


    Carl didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Come on Carl, I am sure she is your perfect type of woman.¡± Julius nudged his side.


    Hazel giggled. ¡°Yeah, he likes women with sculpted figure, nice legs and my best friend is your ideal type of woman.¡±


    Julius nodded his head in agreement. ¡°Why don¡¯t you try to get to know her now?¡±C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    Carl was d that Julius had forgotten he had informed him about meeting someone if not he would have spilled it out.


    Hazel moved closer to the alpha. ¡°You better make your move on her before Jones tries anything on his own path.¡±


    Carl arched his eyebrows. ¡°I expect that you should take sides with your cousin.¡±


    ¡°Sure he is my cousin, but my loyalty is to you. And moreover, Jones doesn¡¯t have a chance with Meagan but he doesn¡¯t want to ept it. As a matter of fact, I want you for my best friend. It¡¯s not bad to have her here as a Luna.¡± Hazel joked.


    Juliusughed. ¡°He better quit for my best friend to have his way.¡± He said in a low tone.


    ¡°You guys are so silly. You both need to stop matchmaking me with all the women in the world.¡± Carlughed.


    ¡°I tried to set you up with her some time ago but you refused. But here we are again in the same spot.¡± Julius whispered.


    ¡°And this could be destiny sending a signal to you.¡± Hazel smiled brightly and gave him an encouraging look that he didn¡¯t want to see.


    It¡¯s surprising how they were encouraging him to get closer to the same woman he had refused to meet some years ago. Indeed destiny is a bitch for ying with him.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think I want to have anything to do with your best friend. I am sorry.¡± Carl replied. He was fulfilling his promise of keep the adventure a secret. Nobody has to know.


    Hazel sighed in frustration. ¡°I give up on you.¡±


    Julius smile also faded away at the alpha¡¯s words. ¡°I¡¯ll let destiny decide your fate from now on.¡± He held out his hand towards his mate and they walked away to join Brianna.


    Carl thought of going after Meagan but he couldn¡¯t do it not when anyone could easily predict his movements. He didn¡¯t miss her expression when Hazel had introduced him as the alpha but he is more interested in the aftermath once the rehearsal is over.


    Alpha Carl Damien decided that he would say something to her during the rehearsal and probably see her afterwards to talk things out.

 EPISODE 37 Not a coincidence

    MOON STONE PACK


    Meagan made her way towards thedies toilet with her thoughts drifting to the man she had met few days ago and whom she just found out to be the alpha of this pack. It was the least of her expectations. But thinking about him more, he had been so very handsome in the warlord outfit as if he was born to wear it.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    Her mind reyed the Halloween night before her eyes. When he had responded to her thoughts of having her family at the party. What she thought was a coincidence has been nned by him. She could tell from when Hazel said she had told him about her. He wasn¡¯t a stranger after all but he had put up a facade to be one. He knew her all along so why did he pretend not to know her?


    Meagan ran her palms over her face as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. Finding out that he is the alpha made her realize one thing ¨C she knew almost everything about him now. His name, his background and job, the things she never wanted to know was all in her head.


    His name is Carl Damien. He is the alpha of moon stone pack and he has an active sense of responsibility. And from what she heard the alpha knows what is best for every member of this pack. Howe she never gave it a thought that the warlord could be the same man when they discussed about the alpha¡¯s past rtionship? The reason wasn¡¯t far fetched, Brianna and Hazel never made mention of his name. They had referred to him as the alpha throughout the discussion and that¡¯s why she never gave it a thought that he could be the same man.


    Brianna shed in her mind. ¡°Oh my God¡­¡± Meagan mumbled realizing that she had slept with the man Brianna has a huge crush on for years.


    Brianna would be so disappointed if she finds out about the adventure. Everyone would be shocked to find out what they have done especially her sleeping with a man she just met about two days ago. She thought.


    Meagan groaned as tears pooled in her eyes when she recalled her question to the warlord. ¡°Are you married?¡±


    Why didn¡¯t he just tell her the truth about his position in the pack right there? Why the pretense and lies of not being close to the alpha? He had even praised himself at that moment. Did he hide his identity on purpose just to get her to sleep with him or knowing that she wouldn¡¯t have had anything to do with him if she knew the truth? Series of questions ran through her mind as she rted each turn of events.


    The thought of epting the fact that the alpha knew her all along but wanted to flirt on purpose just to sleep with her scared her so much. It reminded her of her ex boyfriend, Max. A tear slipped down her cheeks at the thought of him. She had given herself freely to a man she barely knew but he knew her all along.


    And it¡¯s funny how she hadn¡¯t mind a total stranger flirting with her in the first instance. But now Meagan really wished she had realized sooner that Carl was the same man all along. It wasn¡¯t as if she expected anything toe out from the fling but she couldn¡¯t help but be disappointed that he had deceived her.


    Although it had been fun flirting with the warlord but she made up her mind to end things. Meagan concluded that she would find a way to make it clear to him that there would be no more adventure. She hoped that he gets the message if she kept her distance and pay no attention to him at the rehearsal and throughout the wedding ceremony.


    The alpha was free to flirt with any woman since he doesn¡¯t have a mate and he doesn¡¯t want any form ofmitment or rtionship just like how he had said to Brianna. So Meagan knew she had to step out of this character of being Allison the witch of Maridom so no one would find out she had slept with the alpha in the space of two days. Words would travel around fast if anyone finds out the truth and the thought of it made her terrified.


    Meagan has to put an end to everything to focus on her purpose for being at the wedding ¨C to support her best friend and fulfill her function as a chief¡¯s bridesmaid. She would keep her distance from Alpha Carl Damien.


    She sighed. ¡°Forget everything¡­ Meagan.¡±


    It wasn¡¯t going to be easy but she hoped that keeping her distance would help get him out of her mind. She wiped her tears with her fingertips but it didn¡¯t help to clear up the traces on her cheeks. She rinsed her face, rolled out tissue and wiped off the water.


    ¡°You can do this, Meagan.¡± She reassured herself with a small smile before stepping out of thedies toilet.

 EPISODE 38 Keeping her distance

    MOON STONE PACK


    Meagan met Carl¡¯s gaze when she walked her way back in the hall. Her heart fluttered when he smiled at her but she didn¡¯t acknowledge him.


    Carl knew the aftermath of her finding out the truth about him had begun. The event nner walked into the hall at the same time.


    ¡°I am sorry for the dys. I had to sort out someplications in the catering session.¡± The event nner¡¯s voice echoed in the hall as she walked down the free space designated for the bride and gown and their train to walk down on.


    ¡°For those of you that are just joining the rehearsal today, my name is Helen. I am the event nner who has been in charge of nning and organizing asions in this pack for years now. So I can assure you that this wedding will run smoothly. I¡¯ll ensure everything is in ce after the end of the rehearsal.¡± She said.


    Jones started a p and everyone joined in but it soon ended by a gesture from the event nner.


    Helen drew in a deep breath, shook her head with a serious look on her face. ¡°Let us get down to business. Those of you that are just joining please be at the back to watch the movements of those at the front. I want the chief¡¯s bridesmaid and best man right at the front line.¡± Helen¡¯s sweet musical voice gave out instructions.


    Meagan looked away as she locked arms with Carl.


    ¡°Please those that have been attending rehearsal pair up with your partners. You can pick out anyone and follow the cues for those who are just joining.¡± Helen barked out corrections and gave instructions every time.


    And while she was at it, Carl made his move. ¡°Would you mind having a chat after rehearsal?¡± Carl asked.


    Meagan didn¡¯t give a respond. ¡°Not right here in the hall. I cane over to your room.¡± He added in a tight whisper.


    ¡°No, I¡¯ll be busy helping Hazel out with getting prepared for the wedding.¡± Meagan answered without looking at him.


    Carl didn¡¯t want to start a conversation because of the event nner eyes was bleedingsers  towards those who are whispering with their partners plus Jones and Alice were right behind them. They could easily hear his words.


    Helen managed to work everyone to their positions, giving them instructions and insisting they rehearse the movements over and over again. She scolded the mother of the flower girl and ring bearer for showing upte for the rehearsal causing them to start over again.


    Jeremy stiffed back augh when he saw the look on Brianna¡¯s face. He has been paired up with her to stay behind Jones and Alice.


    ¡°Are you okay?¡± He asked.


    ¡°What have I gotten myself into? This is so tiring.¡± Brianna whispered.


    ¡°I am sure we are almost done.¡± Jeremy smiled.


    ¡°Well I hope so.¡± Brianna heaved a sigh.


    Carl wanted it to end so he could have a chance to have a proper discussion with Meagan. He knew there are assigned wolves to help Hazel get dressed but it was a sign that Meagan just doesn¡¯t want to be with him. And there was no way he could put her aside to talk to her because all eyes would be on them. He has to be discreet.


    As instructed by the perfectionist event nner, they started the rehearsal over again with all of them matching out of the hall. Some of them grumbled but Helen didn¡¯t pay attention to it.


    ¡°We should at least take a break.¡± Alice said to Jones.


    ¡°We don¡¯t have much time left. The wedding will start in few hours time.¡± Jones replied.


    ¡°You are right.¡± Alice nodded in agreement.


    Meagan stepped forward first, followed by five other bridesmaids and the flower girl and then the rest of the five bridesmaids behind her. Carl repeated the same cue with his team as he stood next to Meagan. Hazel stayed behind the ten bridesmaids locking hands with her mate before he went ahead to the designated ce for an altar. She would be ushered in by the bridesmaids and some groomsmen without holding hands with her mate. And then Hazel¡¯s uncle would be beside her to walk her down the aisle to her mate. The movement was simple.


    ¡°Listen it me everyone!¡± Helen projected her voice, silencing them all. ¡°Starting from you¡­ what¡¯s your name again?¡± She pointed her finger.


    ¡°Meagan.¡± She replied.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    ¡°Yes Meagan, once the guests are all seated and the groom has walked in with some men after they have followed the cue, wait for some seconds for the orchestral to y this sound.¡± Helen instructed the seated orchestral to y and they did. They have been present in the hall even before anyone came in.


    ¡°Then you and your partner came walk in. I don¡¯t want any mistake or else we will have to start all over again.¡± Her words sounded like a threat.


    The flower girl giggled out loud when the ring bearer did a funny gesture just to tease her.


    ¡°What¡¯s the problem?¡± Helen demanded, looking displeased that they were ying.


    ¡°Stay quiet, Zoe and Zach.¡± Their mom who is also a bridesmaid scolded the six years old twins and they kept quiet immediately.


    Helen barked out the cues all over again and they all listened obediently to her instructions with the hope that they won¡¯t have to do it over again.


    And soon it all ended with distribution of a Coca-C drink and snacks for a job well done. And while they were having random discussions among themselves, Meagan avoided Carl all through.


    Meagan had spent most of her time with Hazel discussing the rest of the ns for the wedding before switching to Jones too. She was aware of Carl having a conversation with four  other bridesmaids and theyughed at whatever he was saying. At some point she lost track of what Jones was telling her to focus on the alpha.


    Carl was also aware of her eyes trailing on him. Howe she is still paying attention to him after deciding to distance herself from him? It¡¯s probably because of the connection they had formed over night together.


    It was pleasant and fun. And she also tried to push away any form of regrets that was trying to linger in her mind.

 EPISODE 39 Trips to Maldives

    MOON STONE PACK


    Jones jolted her out of thought reminding her of his presence in front of her. She apologized to him with a forced smile on her face.


    Hazel leaned closely to whisper to her mate. ¡°Brianna seems happy with Jeremy.¡±


    Julius looked up and noticed his younger sister and the alpha¡¯s cousin having a chat. Brianna was giggling quietly to a gesture Jeremy had made.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t seen her this happy in a long time.¡± Julius admitted.


    ¡°Well I think your sister is in love.¡± Hazel replied.


    ¡°It would be a great news if she is in love Jeremy. That would stop her from going after the alpha.¡± Julius said, giving his mate¡¯s hand a small squeeze.


    Brianna was charmed by Jeremy. His words and gestures fascinated her. She felt bewitched each time Jeremy looked at her.


    ¡°Jeremy is a nice guy. I mean what woman wouldn¡¯t respond to his charms?¡± Julius chuckled at the new look in his sister¡¯s eyes because of Jeremy.


    ¡°You are right. Jeremy is an attractive guy. And I hope they start something together.¡± Hazel replied.


    Julius shook his head. ¡°I¡¯ll give my consent to the rtionship.¡±


    Hazelughed softly. ¡°Brianna deserve to be give her heart to someone who will reciprocate her love.¡±


    ¡°Yeah. I hope to see more love dramas and get invitations to weddings from these people.¡± Julius pointed his fingers at everyone who have turned up for them. He was referring to the single wolves and humans.


    Carl noticed Meagan going over to meet Hazel and Julius with Jones right behind her. And Helen made an announcement of calling the rehearsal to an end after dealing with the ushers.


    ¡°Let¡¯s all make sure to get here early so we won¡¯t keep our guests waiting for no reason.¡± Helen said in resignation.


    Everyone nodded in understanding. And they started moving out of the hall.


    ¡°How do you feel? Your wedding is in less than three hours.¡± Meagan directed her question at the soon to wed couple. ¡°Don¡¯t repeat the same lines of being the luckiest man in the world.¡± She added quickly and the four of themughed.


    ¡°Of course that¡¯s how I feel!¡± Julius coaxed.


    ¡°Aside being happy, I am grateful to everyone who has showed support, love and also turned up for this event.¡± Hazel said with a sincere look on her face.


    ¡°I wanted a small wedding but this turn up is massive. The alpha should be the one having this amount of crowd at his wedding.¡± Julius joked.


    Theyughed except Meagan who feigned a smile on her face.


    ¡°The next call I want to get from you is the news of a growing fetus in your womb.¡± Jones said.


    Meagan nodded in agreement. ¡°I¡¯ll be a godmother soon!¡± She pped her hands in excitement.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry we¡¯ll only focus on making babies during our honeymoon.¡± Julius responded with a grin disying on his face.


    Hazel ced her palms on her face to hide the blush that crept on her cheeks.


    Theyughed. ¡°So how long will you be away from the pack?¡± Jones asked.


    ¡°We¡¯ll be gone for.. about three weeks.¡± Julius answered.


    ¡°The alpha booked a trip to Maldives in Asia for us.¡± Hazel informed Jones.


    ¡°Oh.. that¡¯s so nice of him.¡± Jones mouthed.


    Meagan already knew the alpha booked a trip for the couple but hearing her best friend saying it again seemed awkward to her. She tried not to nce in his way as he stood conversing with just one bridesmaid now. There are just few people left in the hall.


    ¡°I should get back to the guesthouse now.¡± Meagan said.


    ¡°Alright. I will ce an order of food for you. Jones, can you please drop her off at the guesthouse before going your way?¡± Hazel requested.


    ¡°I already made the offer.¡± Jones answered.


    ¡°Thank you, Jones.¡± Hazel smiled.


    ¡°See youter.¡± Meagan waved at the couple before walking out of the hall with Jones.


    Carl saw them heading out. He wanted to end the conversation with thedy named Joanna who has been busy throwing seductive looks at him since he entered into the hall but he didn¡¯t want to be impolite.


    ¡°Is she a close friend?¡± Julius asked his mate referring to Joanna.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know her too well. But I think Alice introduced her to me as a friend.¡± Hazel answered.


    ¡°I have been watching her for a while and it seems like she is making an effort on the alpha but he can¡¯t dismiss her.¡± Julius said in a low tone.


    ¡°I think you are right. But this shouldn¡¯t be happening right?¡± Hazel asked and Julius hummed a positive response.


    Hazel stood up. ¡°Carl! Please can I have a moment with you?¡± She waved at him.


    ¡°Ding! Ding! Ding! Saved by the bride.¡± Julius muttered.


    ¡°Oh sure, I¡¯ll be right there with you.¡± Carl replied.


    Joanna wasn¡¯t happy but she had to say goodbye to the alpha. ¡°I¡¯ll see you at the wedding.¡± She smiled and then walked away.


    Carl went to meet his best friend and bride.


    ¡°Were you trying to flirt with thatdy?¡± Julius teased his friend.


    Carl shook his head. ¡°Not at all but she is into me. She asked me if I am in a rtionship but I diverted her attention to other things.¡±


    Julius pointed a finger at him. ¡°You better not flirt with any woman and focus on my wedding.¡±


    Carl eyed his best friend and he tried to grab his finger but Hazel stepped in between them.


    ¡°I am sure he didn¡¯t mean to be rude.¡± Hazel apologized.


    ¡°Don¡¯t apologize.. let him get mad and beat up the groom.¡± Julius stuck out his tongue at the alpha.


    A growl reverberated from Carl¡¯s throat and Julius avoided him. ¡°You look tired Carl. You need to get some rest.¡± Hazel said quickly.


    ¡°I am perfectly fine. Just step aside and let me deal with him.¡± Carl grimaced feigning annoyance.


    ¡°No.. you don¡¯t look fine and leave him to me. I will deal with him. And I am sure with enough sleep you will look just fine.¡± Hazel bbed as she turned the alpha around and push him ahead towards the door.


    Carl didn¡¯t have a chance to protest or have a yful fight with his best friend like they used to do.


    ¡°I love you, Carl Damien!¡± Julius said loudly as Carl jerked free from Hazel push and started to walk out of the hall.


    ¡°Well I hate you so much, Julius!¡± Carl snapped back at him.


    ¡°I am sure you don¡¯t mean it, best friend.¡± Julius chuckled.


    Hazel waved at the alpha before he walked off to his car.


    Jones felt the urge to ask if there was anything going on between Meagan and the alpha but he decided to let things slide. And the drive back to the guesthouse was in silence with no one making an effort to create a conversation.

 EPISODE 40 His wolf鈥檚 mixed signals

    MOON STONE PACK


    Carl drove back to his apartment to check out some files after getting a call from the architect that was helping him out on a new construction project. He searched the office desk, packed, arranged and then scattered several papers just to find a sketch and chart of the new project. The architect in charge had requested for a picture of the file because an ally to moon stone pack wanted the same n. He had left it right on the desk before leaving the rehearsal but now he couldn¡¯t find it.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    Soon Carl stopped searching and he walked back to the sitting room. And as his eyes surveyed the room, his mind drifted back to the day Meagan had stepped into his home. The eating together, the dance and first kiss reyed in his head. Everything they have done after that moment was stuck in his brain.


    Carl could figure out what was going on with Meagan. Well it was clear that she was angry. He noticed that she had withdrew from him with the hope of pushing him away. Something had changed since Meagan found out the truth about him being the alpha of this pack. And he knew there are more reasons which he already med himself.


    ¡°Maybe¡­ I should have been more honest with her.¡± He mused.


    At the rehearsal Meagan had avoided meeting his eyes. And whenever their gaze met, she would look away quickly to focus on something else. She didn¡¯t even return his smile like she did with the other people in the hall.


    Carl frowned when he remembered how free she had been with some other groomsmen who had approached her and that made his wolf extremely jealous. This feelings seemed strange to the alpha. His wolf has been sending him mixed signals since he had set his eyes on Meagan.


    Avoiding him? Does it mean that would be the end of their good time? It doesn¡¯t make sense right? Ending things without a proper goodbye to each other. Carl thought as he contemted visiting the guesthouse and being seen by anyone. He has to be careful so as not to be the topic of gossip. And it won¡¯t be good for Meagan who doesn¡¯t belong to this pack.


    The alpha has gone out of his way this past few days to have a good time with a woman he doesn¡¯t really know much about. He was trying as much as possible to be calm, polite and considerate. But his wolf wasn¡¯t helping matters. It wanted another chance to maybe flirt with Meagan again? His wolf didn¡¯t want to ept the fact that the fun would end soon? And that this was just a secret adventure that they don¡¯t want anyone to know? Carl was trying to figure out the feelings and thoughts of his wolf as he sat down on the couch.


    His wolf reminded him of how Meagan had also enjoyed flirting with him, how she had been clear about having a secret adventure with him, the terms she had stated and how she had moaned and screamed out his name at every thrust he made into her core. And the memories of having sex with Meagan turned him onpletely. He could sense his own arousal in the air as the picture of Meagan against the walls of the bathroom, her legs wrapped around his waist, her nails digging into the skin on his back and him thrusting into her harder until the both came. These thoughts were making him crazy as he tried to end it.


    ¡°What if they are together right now? Remember Jones has a huge crush on her since forever.¡± His wolf bantered internally.


    Then with a frown in his face, he stood up abruptly remembering how Jones had tried to attach himself to Meagan.


    He has to see Meagan so she won¡¯t ignore him throughout the wedding ceremony. Deep down in Carl, he knew Meagan wasn¡¯t interested in Jones. He had silently watched how she didn¡¯t give herself to his conversationspletely. Meagan had treated Jones as if he wasn¡¯t close to her. And how she acted towards Jones had somehow made him and his wolf happy.


    Carl had liked how her eyes had sparkled while sheughed when she was talking to the couple and he wished that he could also make herugh that much too. He concluded that he would see her at the guesthouse.


    He is the alpha of moon stone pack so he could go into anywhere without getting caught by anyone.


    ************


    It has been a long and exhausting hours filled with barks and screams of the event nner as they all worked hard to rehearse their movement and cues. The day has not ended yet, there is still a busy schedule for the wedding which would take ce in few hours time.


    There was still enough time to have a good sleep before she gets swamped with fulfilling her function as a bridesmaid and supporting her best friend. Meagan stripped out of her clothes and went into the bathroom. Then she saw the night gown she had worest night which Carl had used to wipe her body after he released on her. It was in the sink and she tried not to think about the sexual moment with the warlord¡­ no alpha but it didn¡¯t work. She opened the tap attached to the sink and let the water flow on the clothe until it soaked itpletely. She poured soap on it under the running water and she washed it.


    Meagan didn¡¯t want to dispose the night wear because it was an expensive one. Her eyes flicked over the wall closer to the shower and she remembered having sex right there. It was a wild one as the first and she would never forget it. She let her mind drift to Carlpletely.


    When their eyes met, Carl lips had quirked up into a smile but she didn¡¯t acknowledge him. Every time she stole a nce at him, it reminded her of what they had done. Her eyes was so drawn to his mouth and nice lips that she couldn¡¯t stop ncing at him every now and then. Anytime she caught a glimpse of his lips, she would recall the memories of how he had pressed his mouth on hers. And his strong arms had held her in a way that she felt safe. He had adored, pleasured and pay attention to her body as if they have something serious together other than a fling.


    ¡°Enough¡­ enough of this Meagan. The alpha can¡¯t have a rtionship.. because he hasn¡¯t gotten over his ex girlfriend rejectionpletely.¡± She tried to caution herself.


    After Meagan was done washing, she stepped under the shower, letting the cold water flow over her body as the drops of it calm down her tensed muscles. She stayed under it for about three minutes before turning off the shower when her mind almost slipped to Carl again. She grabbed a big towel and wrapped it over her body and then a small one on her head to dry out the water in her hair.


    Meagan heard a soft crackling sound in the room that made her head snap up to look at her reflection in the mirror. She thought she heard wrongly when everything was silent again.

 EPISODE 41 The same man

    MOON STONE PACK


    Meagan opened the door and stepped out into the bedroom. She looked up after cleaning off her leg on the doormat and her breath caught in her throat when she saw the figure in her room. It was the alpha. Her eyes travelled to the door, she was sure that she locked it but it wasn¡¯t broken.


    ¡°How.. how.. did you.. get in?¡± She stuttered, a frown grazing her face.


    ¡°The window.¡± Carl answered without tearing his eyes away from her as they moved down to her body. He knew she was naked underneath the towel wrapped around her body.


    The other side of the guesthouse has a route that leads to his apartment. He had cleared the thick bushes few days before the wedding date was set for a easier means for people to go swim at the pool if they know their way around.


    ¡°This.. is very¡­. impolite. And you shouldn¡¯t be here.¡± Meagan said with a deep frown on her face as her two hands crossed over her chest to cover the naked area connecting to her neck. She was ufortable and acted like he hasn¡¯t seen her naked form.


    Lust and desires red in his eyes but the alpha controlled himself. He wasn¡¯t a sex maniac who get turned on at the thought of having sex but this woman was making him do things out of his principles. He was here to have a conversation with her. Carl reminded himself.


    ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be here.¡± Meagan repeated in the sternest tone she could muster.


    ¡°You can grab some clothes on. I won¡¯t look at you.¡± He said so you make herfortable.


    Meagan looked away and started towards her box going around him. ¡°Why are you here?¡± She asked.


    ¡°I am sorry for slipping into your room unannounced but this is the only way I could think of just to have a conversation with you.¡± He had his back against her while she heard him crack his knuckles and the action flexed the muscles on his back.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to have a conversation with you. So you can leave, alpha Carl Damien.¡± She said.


    Carl spun around to look at her. ¡°Is that it?¡±


    ¡°You said you weren¡¯t going to look at me.¡± Meagan eyed him and he turned around again.


    ¡°I am sorry.¡± He raised his hand up in surrender. ¡°Listen Meagan-¡±


    ¡°Allison.¡± She corrected him.


    ¡°Alright. Look, there is something you should know. I am the alpha of this pack. I run the affairs of the pack and I owe my life to the members in it. Fine, these are the words I should have said to you but-¡± he paused to think of what to say to her. ¡°I don¡¯t want you to think that I deceived you to get you into bed.¡± He had rehearsed the words in his head but they seem to be failing him.


    ¡°It is obvious you flirted with me with the purpose of getting me into your bed. And I wasn¡¯t smart enough to realize it.¡± Meagan mumbled but enough for him to hear her.


    Carl backed down on his words and turned to look at her. She didn¡¯t even make a move to wear any clothes. ¡°Don¡¯t think-¡±


    Meagan cuts him off. ¡°What should I be thinking? That you didn¡¯t lie to me? That you didn¡¯t know all along that I was close to your best friend? Cut the crap, you knew everything about me¡­ all along so why did you put a facade?¡± Meagan blinked her eyes a couple of times so the tears at the corners of her eyes won¡¯t drop.


    ¡°How on earth did I not realize that you could have been the same man? The man who I didn¡¯t want to know his name, background and job. The alpha who I didn¡¯t want to meet. You should have at least -¡± Her voice trailed off.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    She didn¡¯t know why her eyes were bleary. She didn¡¯t want to cry not in front of an alpha who might see her as weak.


    ¡°We agreed to a secret adventure right? So it should end here. Leave Carl.¡± She blurted out.


    Carl knew she was pushing him and ending things without listening to him. His Adam¡¯s apple bobbed up and down his throat as he swallowed hard. Meagan could see it as he came closer to her and walked passed her. He was leaving.


    She almost regretted her words because she expected that he would plead for a chance to exin himself. But she should know better by now, he is an alpha so he can¡¯t ask for such a chance because of his ego.


    ¡°Jerk¡­ I hate you¡­¡± she whispered to herself.


    If he leaves then he would be another Max in her life. And Meagan would believe that she was created to be the one to beg men to stay in her life and love her. But she doesn¡¯t want to be that type of person. She craved for a connection with someone but the scars she got from herst rtionship had build up a strong tower of insecurities within her.


    She hated the fact that a tear had slipped down her cheek. This isn¡¯t supposed to be happening. Meagan began to doubt if she had made the right decision to end things with the alpha. Why? Why did she want to end things with him? Because she found out he is the alpha? Or because he knew about her? Or the fact that he had put up a facade?


    The truth remains that if he had told her the truth right from the start would she have epted to go on this secret fantasy with him? No, she would have kept a distance. She was the one who didn¡¯t want to know anything about him and she had made it so obvious. So whose fault is it that he had chose to be an ordinary wolf?


    Meagan figured it out. She expected that he would be out of the room by that time but as soon as she turned to go after him she collided into a solid wall of chest.


    Carl has been right behind her contemting on what to do. He didn¡¯te this far to leave without saying the words he had memorized in his head.


    Meagan decided that if she has to be the one to beg then she would do it over and over again for the alpha. There is no way she would avoid him because he is everywhere in the pack as the alpha.

 EPISODE 42 A good time with the alpha

    MOON STONE PACK


    The truth remains that if he had told her the truth right from the start would she have epted to go on this secret fantasy with him? No, she would have kept a distance. She was the one who didn¡¯t want to know anything about him and she had made it so obvious. So whose fault is it that he had chose to be an ordinary wolf?


    Meagan figured it out. She expected that he would be out by that time but as soon as she turned to go after thin she collided into a solid wall of chest.


    Carl has been right behind her contemting on what to do. He didn¡¯te this far to leave without saying the words he had memorized in his head.


    Meagan decided that if she has to be the one to beg then she would do it over and over again for the alpha. There is no way she would avoid him because he is everywhere in the pack as the alpha.


    And without thinking, her fingers touched his top and she held on to him tightly. She grabbed more of the fabrics and buried her face in his chest. She couldn¡¯t talk because she was still holding the tears that threatened to spill down anytime soon.


    A part of her told her to let go that she was taking things too far with the alpha.


    ¡°This is just a fling that won¡¯t lead you anywhere.¡±


    The broken part of her reminded her of how hard she had tried to get over Max and it left her with the question that, ¡°What if this is just another mistake?¡± And it broke her esteempletely and she cried out, letting the tears flow down freely.


    Max has ruined herpletely. She doesn¡¯t have any good side to encourage her that she might not be making a mistake again.


    Carl arms went around her, pulling her closer to his chest. ¡°I am sorry. I didn¡¯t mean to hurt you. I didn¡¯t tell you about my identity because I figured you didn¡¯t want to know anything about me. My alpha position has scared a lot of women away from me so I was sure it would happen with you again. For the first time in my life, I experienced living without being seen as a wolf who carries so much power and authority. I love the fact that I get to be simple and ordinary with you.¡± He breathed out, patting her back gently to calm her down.


    ¡°I was just scared that you would stay away from me. Believe me, I didn¡¯t do it just to get you in bed. You wanted it too right? I mean having a good time.¡±


    Meagan nodded in agreement.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    ¡°I made sure to get your consent before going any further with you.¡± His voice was so calm and low.


    Meagan withdrew from him because of his position as the alpha and she had done what he feared the most.


    ¡°I know this is just for fun and the pleasure of it. But I still don¡¯t want you leaving without a proper goodbye.¡± Carl whispered into her ears.


    He didn¡¯t understand that the reasons for her tears was because she was fighting the demon with a baggage from her past that she has been trying to bury.


    Carl pulled her away so he could look straight into her eyes but she kept her head down. Meagan was feeling ashamed that she had cried in front of him and soaked his top. She let her head stay on his chest to hide her face again but Carl stepped backward. So she ced her hands on his chest while he tilted her head to look up at him.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay to cry.¡± He touched her hands on his chest, the warmth that seeped from his chest and handsforted her.


    Carl knew he was acting so differently around this woman. It felt like his days with Madison was about to resurface again but this time with a different woman and feelings that he couldn¡¯t exin.


    ¡°Carl-¡± her voice trailed off when the towel around her body dropped to the ground leaving her und in front of him.


    He was finding it hard to not look away from her eyes. He wanted to look downwards and savor the view of her naked body.


    ¡°Carl¡­. Kiss me.¡± Meagan mouthed.


    If he didn¡¯t kiss her then the vibration she was feeling between them would make her lose her mind.


    ¡°Anything you want, Allison.¡± Carl replied.


    And they were back on a secret adventure. His mouth dropped down on hers immediately. His hand went around her waist down to cup her naked asscheeks. She wanted more contact with him so she helped pull off his top and soon he was all of out of his clothings.


    Carl captured her mouth immediately and soon they were both falling on the bed. They were engrossed in a passionate kiss, clouding each other to have more body contact and she granted him all the ess he wanted to her body.  He sucked her tongue, eating her up and she weed him into her mouth. They both smooched and explored each other until their lips were swollen.


    Carl pulled away so they could catch their breaths, eyes locked as he ced a kiss on her forehead that ignited some strange feelings within her.


    None of them moved, just looking into each other¡¯s eyes without missing the look of endearment and admiration but none of them would want to admit and ept it as they were still trying to heal from their past.


    He lowered his head to cover her lips, he nipped on her lower lips drawing it between his teeth as it sent shivers down her spine. And soon his hands and lips trailed every part of her body causing her to moan at every bite on her skin.


    ¡°Carl¡­.¡± Meagan gasped out when a finger entered her core.


    He leaned down to kiss her lips as the movement of his finger doubled into two and then three fingers in pumping slowly.


    Meagan begged him with her eyes to increase the tempo of his fingers but he mmed his cock into her and she moaned out loudly. He started on a slow movement, nibbling the side of her neck for some minutes and she felt herself loosing her mind. She begged him to go deeper and faster.


    Carl leaned up and stopped the movement. ¡°You are being impatient, Allison. This might be ourst adventure together so we should make good use of this chance.¡± He licked his thumb before pressing it on her clit, massaging it slowly while his cock was still in her.


    ¡°Fuck.. Carl!¡± She tried to touch herself but he pped her hand away.


    He had a smug look on his face for making her want him so badly. And at the same time he could feel his predatory side begging toe in to give her whatever she wanted. The slow movement was killing Meagan so she spread her legs widely ready to jerk her hips to follow the rhythm of his action.


    ¡°You will.. love this, Allison. But don¡¯t say I didn¡¯t warn you.¡± He said with a dangerous look on his face and lust filled his eyes.


    Cake leaned down, grabbed her two hands and pinned it above her head. He mmed into her deeply. Each thrust was hard and it felt like he was reaching her womb.


    ¡°Oh my¡­ goodness! Carl!¡± Meagan moaned his name loudly as he soon flipped her to a position that made her kneel and her ass poked his thighs.


    He continued the movement, pounding deeper and she grabbed on the sheet so tight that her knuckles cracked. Carl made a hit at her g-spot.


    ¡°Fuck! I am close!¡± A tear slipped down her cheek out of pleasure.


    Carl held her hips in ce when orgasm hit her really hard causing her to scream. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head as he sent her to cloud nine with another deeper thrusts.


    ¡°Oh.. Carl.. Fuck me.. harder.. No.. no¡­¡± She cried out in pleasure.


    Carl groaned did as she wanted for some more minutes.  And they both released and copsed on the bed, sweating and breathing heavily.

    MOON STONE PACK


    Carly on his side smiling at Meagan who had turned to face him. He brushed strands of hair away from her face as he stroked his fingertips over her face.


    ¡°We still have enough time to rest before the wedding.¡± He said.


    Meagan hummed a response. ¡°So what¡¯s your n after the wedding is over?¡± Carl asked breaking off the one minute silence.


    Meagan fixed her gaze at the white painted ceilings. ¡°Get some rest and prepare for the full wolf moon celebration. I have been looking forward to hear lots of howls in the sky.¡± She answered.


    ¡°So does that mean our sneaking around ends today?¡± He questioned.


    Meagan didn¡¯t give any response. ¡°I mean.. we won¡¯t be seeing each other after the wedding right?¡± He asked again.


    When Meagan looked at him, an expression that he couldn¡¯t read shed through her eyes. But Carl assumed it was a response that she wasn¡¯t interested in seeing him after the wedding.


    ¡°We had an agreement, Carl.¡± Meagan said with shrug reminding him again that it was an adventure. A part of her life that she wanted to keep a secret.


    The switch up made Carl wonder if she was still the same woman who had cried and soaked his top with tears. But he shed her a half smile that didn¡¯t reach his dangerous but soft Irish eyes.


    ¡°Alright. I only came back to you because¡­ I didn¡¯t want us to end this adventure on a bad note. Allison had a proper goodbye with the warlord.¡± Carl said in a low tone.


    Meagan nodded in agreement. ¡°Well.. I am also sorry for pushing you away after finding out the truth about you. Everything became awkward between us in the hall and -¡±Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t like it. I mean you ignoring me. I really tried my best to put up a show that we are strangers.¡± Carl interrupted her.


    Meagan nodded. ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡±


    And theysted into silence again until Carl broke the silence. ¡°I should get going so you can have a good rest.¡± He made a move to leave the bed but she stopped him.


    ¡°Can you stay for some minutes? A little longer.¡± She mouthed when he looked back at her.


    Carl sighed. ¡°Alright. But I won¡¯t stay for too long.¡± He traced her lips with one fingertip before leaning down to kiss her quickly.


    Carl adjusted himself toy properly on the bed, his head resting against the pillow and she snuggled closer to his chest and covered their bodies with the bed cover. One of his arms went around her automatically and his fingers began to trail her upper arm.


    Meagan closed her eyes for a moment, feeling the warmth of his touch. Peace ¨C that¡¯s what she felt as she snuggled this close to the alpha but she doesn¡¯t want to dwell on it.  She reminded herself that everything would end in few minutes time.


    ¡°Meagan, would it be too much of me to know some certain things about you?¡± Carl picked his choice of words carefully. Dozens of questions flooded his mind but he held back so as not to make her ufortable and pressured by him.


    ¡°I know you are only here to support your best friend but ¨C I¡¯ll like to know you.¡±  He added.


    Meagan reopened her eyes after a faint sigh.  ¡°Meagan Swift, twenty six years old and a medical doctor. I am the third child out of five, two older siblings and two younger ones too. And I am quite the different one in my family.¡± She gave out her in her information briefly as she stringer his chest with her hand slowly.


    ¡°How are you the different one? What do you mean?¡± Carl asked.


    ¡°My parents own a bigw firm in Connecticut. My father wanted all of his children to studyw and he got it. My elder sisters arewyers while my younger siblings are also nning to work at thew firm after getting their degrees. But I picked medicine overw.¡± Meagan answered.


    She has always been the different one in her family. She was the only one among her sisters still single while her younger siblings are in serious rtionships. She was the one who has made work a top priority in her life and the only one who doesn¡¯t own a car yet. Not that she doesn¡¯t have the money but she was saving up to buy her dream house. And Meagan was also sure that her sisters wouldn¡¯t have made out with a stranger by a pool or do all sorts of crazy and wild stuffs.


    ¡°So how did your parents feel about your choice of studying medicine instead ofw?¡± Carl asked as his hand slide into the bed covers downwards to her ass.


    Meagan shrugged. ¡°He wasn¡¯t happy about it but she couldn¡¯t stop me. I opted in for a profession that suit me best.¡± She rested on her elbow to look at him.


    ¡°What about you? What¡¯s the life of being an alpha like?¡± She asked.


    Carl smirked when she lifted one of her legs giving his fingers ess to travelled from her belly to v-line.


    ¡°I studied business on my father¡¯s orders.¡± Carl yed with her deep belly button.


    ¡°Not what you wanted to study right?¡± She questioned as tingled stirred in the walls of her stomach.

 EPISODE 44 Goodbyes

    MOON STONE PACK


    His fingertips trailed to her clit brushing it slightly. ¡°I would have loved to be a pilot but I have to fulfill my responsibilities as the future alpha. Running a pack is almost the same as running apany.¡±


    ¡°It sounds impressive because you have done a great job in this pack. But it must be tiring.¡± She breathed out.


    Carl chuckled softly. ¡°Tiring? My life is here. My body, soul and heart is here with the pack and members.¡±


    Her fingers still trailed up and down his chest. ¡°But don¡¯t you get tired?¡± Meagan stopped the movement to look at him.


    Carl considered her question. ¡°To be honest, I like my life. And if I don¡¯t like my life, I still can¡¯t change the fact that I am an alpha because I was born into a long lineage of full blooded wolves.¡±


    ¡°Oh! That exins your type of wolf right?¡± Meagan asked.


    Carl shook his head in agreement. ¡°How tired are you, Meagan?¡± He murmured with his fingers still ying around her belly to breasts then back to her v-line.


    ¡°I am perfectly fine.¡± She answered breathlessly.


    He leaned closer to kiss her lips. ¡°Good.¡± He said amidst the kiss as one of his fingers curled in her core and she moved closer to him. He broke off the kiss while her lips curved and let out soft moan.


    ¡°This¡­ is.. so fucking good.¡± She giggled and Carl smiled at her.


    Meagan slid a hand down into the cover to hold his cock and she bobbed it up and down slowly. He smiled in satisfaction as their lips met again. His fingers was there, stroking her clit and fucking her core until she gasped out and unable to think straight or stay still next to him.


    Carl and Meagan knew it was theirst time together so none of them wanted time to pass quickly. They stayed in bed, kissing, stroking, exploring each other bodies and talking about how demanding it is to be a doctor and also running a pack that has over a thousand members in it.


    Finally, Meagan climbed on top of him. A groan reverberated in his chest as he ced her hands on her hips. And slowly she eased herself down on his erected cock. She leaned down,ying t on his chest as he did gentle and slow thrusts into her while she bounced up and down his length taking all of him.


    Some minutes after experiencing another wave of intense orgasm, they took a shower together in the bathroom. They both washed each other bodies. Theysted in the bathroom for a whole twenty minutes with Carl fucking Meagan from behind as she bend over, holding the sink to support her weight. Her knees grew weak as they concluded with Meagan giving Carl a blow job until he came really hard.


    Carl stole kisses before opening the bathroom door and they walked into the bedroom. He wore his clothes andy next to Meagan on the bed. He drew in deep breath as he looked into her eyes.


    ¡°I hate goodbyes.¡± Meagan mumbled.


    They would see each other at the wedding and act like strangers again. And the alpha would be extremely busy tomorrow because of the full wolf moon celebration and might not have time to see her.


    ¡°I can handle goodbyes.¡± Carl licked his lips and tucked wet strands of hair behind her ear.


    ¡°Carl, it has been fun spending time with you.¡± Meagan said, feeling a little lump forming at the back of her throat.


    Carl leaned in for a long kiss. ¡°I¡¯ll like to see you again, Allison.¡± He wanted to say to her but he held his words at bay.


    He reminded himself that this was just a fling. He pulled away from her. ¡°See youter.¡± He whispered before climbing out of the bed.


    Meagan envisioned what would be of them. This adventure would leave them with just memories. Her eyes burned with tears as she watched him go out through the window. She has to prepare herself to say a proper goodbye after this wedding.


    And Meagan admitted that she was indeed going to miss spending with Alpha Carl Damien.


    Carl knew this woman has gotten through him in some levels that he has never imagined. And he began to wonder why his wolf seemed happy and excited at the thought of Meagan filling his mind.


    Meagan reached out to check her phone and she met a  message from Hazel.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    ¡°The other bridesmaids are here with me. You cane around to do your make up in forty minutes time.¡±


    She sent an ok response. Meagan sighed as she set the rm to wake her up in thirty minutes time. She pulled the bed covers over her body and soon drifted off to sleep.


    Meagan woke up reluctantly when her cellphone beeped. She would have loved to have more sleep but she must not bete to the wedding as the chief¡¯s bridesmaid.

 EPISODE 45 The wedding dresses

    MOON STONE PACK


    Helen, the event nner was right in the dressing room giving the make up artists instructions on what sort of looks the bride and her bridesmaids should have on their faces. And Helen would overreact over the phone at the question from her team concerning a little problem. She even yelled at some bridesmaids who came inte to the dressing room.


    The neat, beautiful and nicely decorated hall was fully packed with people ¨C werewolves, humans, from family and friends to guests and they all sat efficiently ording to the instructions of the female ushers. And they patiently waited for the wedding to kick start.


    About thirty five minutester, the make up artists finished up with the bridesmaids to work on the bride and her best friend.


    ¡°We have just twenty minutes left before the ceremony starts. I just got an information that the head of the epsilon group has entered the hall while the groom and his men are also ready.¡± Helen said loudly as she walked back to the room.


    She had stepped out few minutes ago to attend to the catering team on phone and also inspect the hall to make sure the ushers were doing a proper job at leading the guests to the various seats.


    The Epsilon group are the guardians of the pack. Some of their roles are, warding off intruders spiritually, responsible for the safety and well being of the pack. The Epsilon group is in charge of blessing ceremonies. They result to spiritual or magical violence if peaceful persuasion between the packs fails. There is just one leader, controlling the Epsilon group. He is an old and powerful wizard. He has blessed so many marriages and anchored full wolf moon celebrations in moon stone pack and even ceremonies in other neighboring packs that don¡¯t have an Epsilon.


    Julius and his groomsmen were already waiting at the front of the hall. They have arranged themselves ready for their cues as soon as the brides and her maids steps out.


    Helen¡¯s eyes checked out the bridesmaids, most of them were busy making videos on their cellphones.


    ¡°You all look beautiful in your dresses.¡± Helen said as she nced down at her wrist watch.


    ¡°Happy married life, Hazel!¡± Alice turned her camera to make a video of the bride. And the other bridesmaids chorused the same words.


    ¡°Thank you very much. And I hope to get invites to your weddings for those of you who are still single.¡± Hazel giggled.


    And they allughed. ¡°You can always reach out to me to help n your events.¡± Helen added.


    The bridesmaids nodded in understanding andplimented her good works. And some left promises ro introduce her to someone they know who would be getting married soon. Helen thanked them and pped her hands.


    ¡°You all can join the groomsmen in front of the hall except for Meagan.¡± Helen instructed and thedies filed out of the room.


    ¡°Are you nervous or excited?¡± Meagan asked her best friend.


    One of the wolves assigned to dress Hazel helped to slip on her heels.


    ¡°Of course I am excited but nervous at the same time.¡± Hazel breathed out heavily.


    Meagan giggled. ¡°Hey rx everything is fine.¡± She reassured her best friend.


    Hazel shed her a bright smile and stood up after the make up artist working in her face announced thepletion of her bridal look.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be right back.¡± Helen walked out of the dressing room.


    Chloe removed the clothes around her neck and Hazel checked out her reflection in the mirror.


    ¡°Chloe, you and your team are so good at what you do.¡± She could barely believe the face of the woman that stared right back at her.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    ¡°Are you sure my mate will be able to recognize me with this look?¡± Hazel joked. And the people present in the roomughed.


    ¡°You look beautiful.¡± Meaganmented after the make up artist working on her face touched her lips with a nude colored lipstick.


    As the chief¡¯s bridesmaid, her dress was quite different from the other bridesmaids. She wore a fuscia pink re gown made of soft, light woven fabric with a ribbed texture made out of silk. It featured a scoop length bodice with long sheer silver embroidered sleeves and a keyhole back and she matched it with stiletto heels.


    The other bridesmaids wore a blush pink long silk dress, with ace bateau neckline and long sleeve.


    ¡°How do I look?¡± Meagan asked.


    ¡°Beautiful and sexy as always!¡± Hazel pouted her lips and blew kisses at her best friend.


    Helen came back into the room to announce that it was time to make an entry into the hall.


    Meagan moved behind Hazel to help with the wedding dress. It was a white princess wedding dress, floral patterned with a draped off the shoulder neckline and a long, full skirted ball gown that has white bearings. And slim ribbon sash on her curled it hairpleted the bridal look.


    Meagan packed the ball gown so Hazel could walkfortably out of the room. And they motioned towards the hall with Helen right by their side.

 EPISODE 46 The wedding vows

    MOON STONE PACK


    The head of the epsilon group was offering prayers to the moon goddess when they got to the front of the hall. Meagan saw Carl standing close to Julius and a smile yed on his lips too as they approached the entrance. He wasn¡¯t looking at the bride as everyoneplimented her stunning looks but his eyes were on Meagan. And she couldn¡¯t help but drool at how handsome Carl looks in his navy blue suit and a fuscia pink bow tie attached to the cor. Meagan knew at the moment that her eyes was going to be on him throughout the wedding ceremony.


    The bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girl and ring bearer gathered around the couple to hear Helen¡¯s recap on the cues and movements before they got to their respective positions. Some of the bridal train cleared the way for the groom and some of his men to line up as the first set to file into the hall, leaving just the bride and her uncle at the end.


    The head of the epsilon group announced the presence of the groom and his men and the orchestral yed a song. They walked in doing a graceful show just for the groom until he got to the altar to wait for his bride.


    Mr Christopher, Hazel¡¯s uncle covered her face with the soft linen. Once again the head of the epsilon group announced the presence of the bride and her bridesmaids. And the guests turned their heads to see the beautiful bride and her crew. They did their movements perfectly and the two groups separated for the bride and her uncle to pass through as he walked her to her mate.


    ¡°The mating ceremony begins now.¡± The head of the epsilon group coaxed as the hall became silent.


    We are all here for the union of Hazel and Beta Julius. May this union be blessed by the moon goddess.¡± Hemended the alpha and the beta on the good works they have been doing in the pack. He mentioned few funny things he had witnessed from Julius childhood and also Hazel which made everyoneughed.


    Heplimented Julius bravery and for having a keen eyes towards choosing a mate. He preached to the couple and gave them some marital rules that might help as they embark on the life time journey together.


    And after like twenty minutes of his teaching, he announced the moment for the couple to exchange their vows. He instructed Julius to remove the linen from his mate¡¯s face and he did. Two junior epsilon¡¯s stationed themselves close to the altar to help with the mating rituals.


    The head of the epsilon group took a knife and cup from the altar and raised it up for everyone to see.


    ¡°You will go first, Beta Julius.¡±  Epsilon Micheal said and Julius stretched out his left palm towards him.


    ¡°Repeat every words I speak.¡± Epsilon Micheal instructed.


    Julius nodded in understanding.


    ¡°In the name of our respected and beloved moon goddess, I take you, Hazel to be my mate, to have and to hold onto to you from this day forward. I promise to love you as my mate, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to care and cherish you until I breathe myst. This is my vow.¡±


    Julius repeated the same words after the leader of the epsilon group. He took the knife and sliced through his palm a bit and he let his blood drop into the cup.


    One of the junior epsilon collected the cup and gave it to the bride to drink it while the other epsilon wore a nylon glove and ced a gauze and band aid on Julius¡¯s palm.


    Hazel said her vows and they repeated the same process.


    ¡°Let the ring bearere forward.¡± Epsilon Micheal said and the ring bearer matched forward. He handed the box to one of the junior epsilon who was the left while the other one had taken the tray away.


    ¡°This ring you are about to give out to each other is a symbol of your love and faithfulness. These rings serves as a reminder of the vows you have spoken today on your wedding day.¡± Epsilon Micheal preached as he gestured to Hazel to do the process first. Hazel took one of the rings.


    ¡°Repeat after me.¡± The epsilon ordered.


    ¡°As I ce this ring on your finger, Imit my heart, body and soul to you as my other half.¡±


    Hazel said the words as tears clouded the corners of her eyes.


    ¡°I offer to you this ring to wear as a symbol of our mated souls and unbreakable mate bond.¡± Julius said as he looked straight into his mate¡¯s eyes.


    The flower girl came forward and gave the wedding bands to the junior epsilon who in turn passed it to the leader to pray on it. The junior epsilon¡¯s helped the couple wear their wedding bands. The couple would wear the bands while they consummate their bonds tonight till Hazel¡¯s mate mark heals.


    ¡°It¡¯s done. You may kiss your bride.¡± Epsilon micheal said loudly into the microphone.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    The whole guests stood up to their feet as they jammed their hands together. Julius wiped Hazel¡¯s tears with his fingertips.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright. You are mine now.¡± Julius smiled. He covered the gap between them and imed her lips.


    Screams filled the air from guests, bridesmaids and groomsmen as the newly wedded couples shared a kiss.

 EPISODE 47 The wedding party

    MOON STONE PACK


    Today was Meagan¡¯s first time of witnessing werewolves wedding. Everything they did was in order and a slightly different from the human ways.


    Meagan became bleary as she watched the couple exchanging vows and then the kiss. Her best friend of over a decade was now married.


    Carl offered her a handkerchief to wipe her tears and he locked their hands together. She tried to pull away but he held in with a grin on his face.


    Meagan looked back and noticed that Jones was holding Alice the same way. So no one would read any meaning to them holding hands. Although she had strange feelings while she walked down the aisle, arms locked with the man she had spent some passionate night and day with. She felt the vibration between them as their fingers intertwined and she couldn¡¯t help but wonder if the alpha felt the same way too.


    Beta Julius and Hazel had bright smiles on their faces as they turned to face the guests as husband and wife. They were happy and excited by the choice they made to be mates.


    The pping ended shortly and the guests sat down to listen to the couple¡¯s speech. One of the junior epsilon¡¯s gave Julius a microphone.


    ¡°Are you alright now?¡± Carl whispered to Meagan.


    She sniffed. ¡°Yes, I am fine.¡±


    ¡°You can return itter.¡± Carl said referring to the handkerchief in her hand.


    Actually he was hoping to see her again today or tomorrow or anytime before she leaves the pack. Meagan wasn¡¯t sure if she wants to have another moment with the alpha again after the wedding. She hummed a response and they focus on Julius whose hands was now locked with his mate¡¯s.


    Beta Julius cleared his throat after a look at his mate and he said. ¡°I am speechless at the amount of people who has turned up for my wedding.¡± Shouts filled the air again.


    Julius chuckled. ¡°The moon goddess has done a great job at giving me the best female wolf in the world, the one who understand my being and has managed to tame me.¡±


    Hazel shook her head as she raised their locked hands up. ¡°I think it¡¯s the other way around. He has tamed my wolf nature.¡± She said.


    Everyone in the hallughed. ¡°I guess it is even.¡± Epsilon Micheal said.


    The couple nodded in agreement. ¡°I want to say thank you to the alpha of moon stone pack, Carl Damien. And also he happens to be my best friend and soul brother.¡± Julius locked eyes with the alpha with a grateful look on his face.


    Everyone stood up and pped to respect the alpha. Carl threw a salute and mouthed. ¡°I have got you covered anytime, brother.¡±


    ¡°I have never dreamt of having a big wedding my whole life. Thank you for your support. And I promise to remain loyal to you and I will serve the pack for the rest of my life.¡± Julius expressed his gratitude to his mother, father, guests, bridesmaids and groomsmen who has turned up to support them. And he passed the microphone to his mate.


    ¡°Good afternoon everyone. My mate and I would like to thank you all for being here for us today to make our day extra special. I¡¯d especially like to thank my best friend, Meagan for her consistent support, love and generosity. We havee a long way together and I hope we see each other grow grey hairs.¡± The guests pped as Meagan smiled and waved at her best friend. And she thanked her uncle, groom¡¯s parents, his sister and everyone who showed support to them.


    Hazel paid her respect to thete alpha of moon stone pack because he had adopted her after the death of her parents and he gave her a good life.


    The head of the epsilon group stated some essence of being surrounded by good friends before he announced the venue of the reception party. It was the same hall used for the Halloween party. The couple walked down and exchanged hugs with their best friends before the bridesmaids and groomsmen resumed to their cues. Each of them made a unison turn and locked arms with their partners and they matched the newlyweds couple to the door with perfect matching steps to the music.


    They took pictures with the couples and after some time, it was time for the bride to throw her bouquet into the air.


    They debated if the groomsmen should join the tradition and the couple concluded that everyone should participate.


    Julius helped Hazel walk down the few steps. She turned around to look at her best friend who wasn¡¯t interested in catching the bouquet.


    ¡°Are you all ready?!¡± Hazel turned again with her back against them.


    When they chorused a yes, she threw the bouquet of rose silk flowers behind her. The bridesmaid collided with each other to catch but itnded somewhere else. They all turned around to see who caught it ¨C the alpha had the bouquet raised up in the air.


    Everyone screamed when he waved the bouquet.


    ¡°We¡¯ll have a Luna soon!¡± Brianna giggled.


    Hazel turned slightly to look and she smiled at her mate. Julius winked at her, satisfied that it was one of their best friends who had caught the bouquet. Some of the guests trotted out of the hall ready to go to the reception. Some buses were provided to drive people to the location.


    Meagan hurried to help Hazel with her gown while Carl searched for the car keys in his pocket. He was going to drive the couple to the reception together with the chief¡¯s bridesmaid.


    Meagan didn¡¯t let the long white train drag the ground even as Hazel ran to the car. It was decorated with ribbons and a te number of newly wedded in front of the car. She helped Hazel bnced the gown in the back seat before she settled in the front seat with Carl while Julius sat with his bride.


    ¡°I am d that at least one of you caught my bouquet. It¡¯s a good luck charm like they always say.¡± Hazel said.


    Carl gave the bouquet to Meagan but she hesitated on epting it. She doesn¡¯t even want to think about what it means for him to give her the bouquet that he caught for himself. Both Julius and Hazel exchanged nces.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    ¡°Come on take it Meagan and let us move on. I need to change my dress before the reception party starts.¡± Hazel grumbled.


    Meagan took the bouquet and looked away quickly to hide the blush that Carl had seen.


    ¡°You must keep this bouquet at your apartment safely.¡± Julius said in a stern tone.


    ¡°Alright bro. I should also try to preserve it for the future.¡±  Carl chuckled and the coupleughed.


    Meagan tried to fan her heated cheeks with her hand but it wasn¡¯t working. Carl started the car and zoomed off to the pack ballroom.

 EPISODE 48 A toast to the couple

    MOON STONE PACK


    Two hours has passed into the reception party. The couple already danced with families and friends and they have gone into the crowds to say a thank you and exchanged pleasantries to some of their families and friends. Even enough food and drinks were avable on all the tables. Several guests had more than enough as the ushers walked around with tes in the hall to the various seats.


    The master of ceremony called at the guests attention for the best man time to make a toast to the newly wedded couple. The best man is the only person who is traditionally expected to make a toast to the bride and groom.


    Carl stood at the center of the room where all the guests could see him. He cleared his throat as the master of ceremony gave him the microphone with a bow. A server came around and gave him a ss of wine too.


    The best man started off by introducing himself. ¡°I am Carl Damien, the alpha of moon stone pack and I am also standing before you all on this special day as the best man of this wedding. I wee everyone to this great pack and thank you for attending and supporting the couple in whatever way. Julius is like a brother to me and we grew up together in this same pack and same goes for his bride.¡± He nced back at the couple.


    ¡°I remember how scared Julius was when my father made it known that he would take on the position of being the Beta. He went missing in action for days.¡± Some guests in the hallughed when the alpha did a funny gesture of a wolf hiding on a tree.


    The alpha chuckled. ¡°So I looked for my best friend for a couple of days until I found him on a tree conversing with a parrot. He did that because he had no idea how to be a beta.¡±


    Hazel giggled next to her mate. ¡°Well I managed to persuade and get him down from the tree and I brought him back to the pack. The Gammas spoke to him and just one thing served as an encouragement to take on the position. The fact that there are other big wolves who could fill the position but the alpha wanted just him. And making it to the history of the wolves as the youngest wolf to be a beta at barely eighteen is a big achievement.¡± Some of the guests nodded their heads in agreement. Virtually everyone in the hall knew Beta Julius so well.


    ¡°And behold he has been doing a great job as a beta for more than a decade now. I don¡¯t think I would have loved any other person to be my beta. Just you and only you, Julius. Thank you for putting in all your best for the development of this pack.¡± Carl turned back and smiled at his best friend. Everyone pped until the alpha raised his ss up to end it.


    ¡°Please make sure your sses are filled as you join me in toasting to the new couple.¡± They all raised their sses up in the air.


    ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, here is a toast to a perfectly mated couple. We make a toast to a long life together filled with happiness, adventure and lists of wonderful memories. May your heart be warm and happy with the lilts of loudughter everyday in every way and forever and ever.¡± He turned to look at the couple. ¡°May you grow old together on one pillow. And finally I pray the moon goddess guide your paths together. To the bride and groom!¡± Carl said loudly as he faced the guests.


    ¡°To the bride and groom!¡± They chorused and the responses echoed throughout the hall.


    Then the couple moved on to cutting the five tiers wedding cake. All the guests merry,ughed, chatted in groups, ate and drank. The wedding was a st! Everyone seemed to be having a great time but Meagan¡¯s  eyes was busy looking around for the alpha.


    After the toast she had seen him slip into the crowd to greet some people that seemed to be of high profiles. Once again she was left with no choice than to mingle and chat with only Jones who was interested in what she would be doing when she returned back home.


    ¡°Work.¡± Meagan had simply replied him in a polite manner.


    And Jones went on to ask if all she ever did was work at the hospital and she said, ¡°Yes, my top priority in life is my work. As a medical doctor saving liveses first.¡±


    Soon her eyes spotted the alpha in the crowd, he was surrounded by other people and she recognized just one person ¨C  Joanna, the bridesmaid who had attached herself to the alpha during rehearsal. Some of the guys has strikingly resemnce with the alpha and she assumed they are his cousins.


    Pangs of jealousy stirred within her as she watched Joanna smiling brightly at some four older women. Meagan was sure that thisdy had introduced herself to them from the way the olddies conversed freely with her.


    Meagan was envious of the fact that Joanna was free to meet Carl¡¯s family while she can¡¯t even dare to approach him at that moment. She wondered if the alpha would have introduced her to some of his family members like Jones had done if they weren¡¯t on an agreement to keep things private.


    Meagan fiddled with her fingers under the table as she reminded herself that all she had with the alpha was just a fling. And she should erase every thoughts of having anything serious with someone as powerful as an alpha of the best werewolf pack.


    Jones was interrupted by a cellphone ringtone when he was about to remind Meagan about the dinner ns. Meagan¡¯s head snapped up to the familiar sound and she reached out for her cellphone in her handbag.


    It was a call from her elder sister. She stood up knowing that the loud music would distract her from hearing her sister¡¯s words over the phone. It was rare for Penelope to call her but whenever she does ¨C something must have happened. Good news or bad news, Penelope would always call to share it. Meagan hoped it was good news about her brother inw probably buying his wife a new car and not her niece or nephew falling off the stairs again.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be right back, Jones. I need to answer this call.¡± Meagan said before rushing off with the n of heading straight to the garden she had ate with the warlord on Halloween night just to receive the call.

 EPISODE 49 An emergency call

    MOON STONE PACK


    Unknowingly to Meagan, Jones followed her almost immediately.  His mind was on her meeting the alpha in secret because he was no longer with his family again. Whereas the alpha had slipped out of the hall to check on his nephew who couldn¡¯t make it to the wedding. He was admitted at the infirmary for severe stomachache after eating an unripe fruitst night.


    Meagan called her sister back when she got to the garden. And Penelope picked almost immediately.


    ¡°Hi Penelope,¡± she greeted.


    ¡°Hey, Meagan. Where are you?¡± Penelope asked in a sad tone.


    ¡°I am still at Hazel¡¯s pack. The wedding isn¡¯t over yet.¡± Meagan answered.


    She heard Penelope heave a sigh over the phone. ¡°So when do you intend to return back home?¡± Penelope asked again.


    ¡°On Monday morning.¡± Meagan replied as she itches the bridge of her nose.


    ¡°That won¡¯t work. I am sorry sis but you have to leave that pack and make it down to Connecticut.¡± Penelope sniffed.


    ¡°Hey.. what¡¯s wrong? Is everything okay? How is Jane and her brother? What about your husband?¡± Meagan demanded frantically.


    ¡°They are fine. But dad is at the hospital here in Connecticut.¡± Penelope said.


    Meagan¡¯s jaw dropped immediately. ¡°How? No.. I mean¡­ how? When? When did he -¡± her voice broke off as she was finding it out to make out proper sentences.


    ¡°I got a call not too long that he copsed on his exercising machine at him. I had to rush down here from office to be with mom.¡± Penelope exined.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    ¡°Okay.. So how is mom doing?¡± Meagan panicked.


    ¡°She is a mess.¡± Penelope whispered.


    ¡°What¡¯s the doctor¡¯s report about dad¡¯s condition?¡± Meagan asked as she worked up courage and tried to calm herself down.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know yet. The medical team are still attending to him.¡± Penelope answered.


    ¡°Dad will be fine right?¡± Meagan mumbled.


    ¡°I hope so. But shouldn¡¯t it be the other way round? I mean I should be the one asking you if dad will be fine because you are a doctor.¡± Penelope replied.


    ¡°He¡¯ll be fine.¡± Meagan said.


    ¡°That¡¯s it.¡± Penelope sighed.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll right there with you.¡± Meagan added.


    ¡°Okay, bye. Extend my greetings to Hazel.¡± Penelope replied before she disconnected the call.


    Jones was right in front of her when she turned to walk back to the hall. Meagan was startled and surprised to see him.


    ¡°Jones,¡± she muttered.


    ¡°I am sorry. I didn¡¯t mean to startle you.¡± Jones apologized.


    Meagan shook her head slowly in acknowledgement.


    ¡°I followed you immediately you left the table.¡± Jones added quickly.


    ¡°Why? I only came out to receive a call. You shouldn¡¯t have bothered to follow me.¡± Meagan had an ufortable look on her face which Jones could also see and read clearly.


    Meagan didn¡¯t like the idea that Jones seemed too clingy with her. And earlier at the table people had thought there was something going on between them. Even some of his family members she had met hadmented on how good they looked together as a couple.


    ¡°Listen Meagan, I don¡¯t mean to make you feel ufortable. But I am just concerned about you.¡± Jones had an apologetic look on his face.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright. I am fine.¡± Meagan mumbled.


    ¡°Is everything okay with your family?¡± Jones asked with a concerned look on his expression.


    Meagan looked up at Jones realizing that he must have heard all of her conversation with her elder sister over the phone.


    ¡°My dad copsed and he has been rushed to the hospital. I need-¡± her voice broke off as a lump of tears choked her throat but she tried hard not to let it down.


    Meagan¡¯s greatest fear at the moment was losing her father to the cold hands of death. If Meagan was asked to choose a favorite between her parents then it would be her father. He was everything any child would want in a father. He is her favorite person in the world. Despite the fact that Mr Swift wanted his child to follow his professional path but she picked a different career, it didn¡¯t stop him from loving and caring about her. Mrs Swift has been hell bent on Meagan bing awyer, she had even avoided her for sometime but her husband was able to convince her. Having a medical doctor in the family isn¡¯t so bad. And to top it all, Mr Swift loves werewolves and also has a vast knowledge about their world.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want him to die.¡± Meagan mumbled.


    Jones covered the gap between then and he reached out to hold her hands. He didn¡¯t expect that a medical doctor could break down this much. ¡°I am sure he is going to be fine.¡± Jones said as he embraced her.


    Meagan needed thatfort he was offering at that moment.  She didn¡¯t let the tears drop but she embraced him and listened as he whispered soothing words to her.

 EPISODE 50 Goodbyes

    MOON STONE PACK


    Several seconds clicked by before Meagan stepped out of his embrace. ¡°I have to leave. My dad needs me to be by his side.¡± She muttered.


    Jones nodded in agreement. ¡°Alright. I can help you book the next avable flight to Connecticut and I¡¯ll also drive you to the airport.¡± He brought out his cellphone to text a friend who works at the airport.


    ¡°Thank you, Jones. I should go in and tell Hazel about it.¡± Meagan moved to the door.


    ¡°Wait Meagan,¡± Jones caught up with her and locked their hands with a bright smile on his face. ¡°Don¡¯t panic everything will be fine, Meagan.¡± Je reassured her.


    They walked back to the hall and towards the couple who were talking to some set of military men.


    ¡°Hazel,¡± Meagan called and the bride turned at her best friend. ¡°Can we talk?¡± She requested.


    And with an apologetic smiles on the couple faces, Julius locked hand with his bride and excused themselves from the discussion.


    ¡°Hey, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Hazel asked when she noticed the perturbed look on her best friend¡¯s face.


    ¡°I am fine. But I have to leave to Connecticut.¡± Meagan had an apologetic look on her face.


    ¡°Why?¡± The couple demanded in unison.


    ¡°You promised to stay till Monday. Is it a call from work again? Won¡¯t you witness your first full wolf moon celebration? You can¡¯t leave yet.¡± Hazel protested with a pout on her lips.


    ¡°I wish I could stay. But Penelope called not too long saying that dad copsed.¡± Meagan informed her.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    A sad look crossed the bride¡¯s face. ¡°I hope he is fine.¡± Julius said.


    ¡°He is at the hospital as we speak.¡± Meagan replied.


    Hazel noticed her best friend locked hands with her cousin. She knew Jones was ready to do anything to win Meagan over. So she reached out to hold her best friend¡¯s free hand.


    ¡°You should leave to be with dad. Jones, can you help book the next flight to Connecticut and also drive my best friend to the airport?¡± Hazel eyes pleaded with her older cousin.


    ¡°Yes, I already made the offer. I don¡¯t mind doing anything for her.¡± Jones agreed.


    ¡°Good. Or should Ie along with you to the airport?¡± Hazel asked.


    ¡°No I¡¯ll be the one to go with them to the airport.¡± Julius added.


    Meagan shook her head to protest. ¡°Look, just take a look around. There are lots of guests waiting to have a chat with the newly wed couple.¡± She looked around the busy hall with her eyes stylishly trying to find the alpha.


    ¡°Okay. But give me a call or send me a text when you get to Connecticut.¡± Hazel said as tears clouded her vision.


    Meagan nodded in agreement as they embraced each other. ¡°I am sure dad will be alright.¡± Hazel whispered.


    ¡°Yes. And happy married life once again. I wish you a blissful marriage with your mate.¡± Meagan replied as she took a step backwards. ¡°Please don¡¯t cry.¡± She reached out to wipe the tears that streamed down her best friend face with her fingertips. ¡°It¡¯s your wedding. I don¡¯t want the spirit of bride to haunt me on my way downtown o Connecticut.¡± She joked.


    Hazel managed to smile as she held Meagan¡¯s hands. ¡°Meagan, I know I have said this to you earlier but I¡¯ll say it again. Thank you for everything. Thank you for being a very good friend to me. Thank you for taking on the chief¡¯s bridesmaid function for my wedding.¡± She sniffed.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. But the best I can do as your best friend. I can¡¯t imagine missing your wedding. I cherish you, Hazel.¡± She hugged her best friend again.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go ahead and make a call and then bring my car over.¡± Jones said loud enough for them to hear as he walked away.


    ¡°I love you, Meagan Swift.¡± Hazel didn¡¯t want to let go of her best friend yet when she tried to pull away.


    ¡°I love you too. I¡¯ll miss you so much. And do have a great honeymoon with your mate.¡± Meagan managed to step out of the embrace. She already had tears straying down her cheeks too.


    ¡°Take care of yourself. I wish dad quick recovery. Say me hi to your family and thank you to Penelope for the congrattory money she sent.¡± Hazel smiled.


    Meagan sniffed and wiped her tears. ¡°Oh she did sent a gift to you as promised.¡±


    Hazel nodded. ¡°It¡¯s huge. And I didn¡¯t expect such amount for her.¡±


    ¡°Extend my greeting to your family.¡± Julius embraced Meagan but it ended abruptly.


    ¡°Have fun on your honeymoon.¡± Meagan gave her best friend¡¯s hand a small squeeze. ¡°Bye, best friend.¡± And with that she walked away from the couple.

 EPISODE 51 The end to a secret adventure

    MOON STONE PACK


    Meagan gave her best friend¡¯s hand a small squeeze. ¡°Bye, best friend.¡± And with that she walked away from the couple.


    When Meagan was almost at the door, she stopped to look around in search of the alpha. She wanted to say a final goodbye to him even though she hated goodbyes. But when she didn¡¯t see his masculine figure anywhere, she gave up and concluded that it was better this way.


    No goodbyes, just memories of the time spent with him, the passionate moments involving just two of them in his apartment, at the pool, in her room and in the shower.


    ¡°Meagan!¡± Hazel called out to her which attracted the guests attention.


    ¡°Thank you for everything! I love you, best friend!¡± Hazel waved at her.


    Meagan waved in return, she looked around the room for thest time before exiting the hall. She was heading back to her normal life. A lovely and happy family awaits her in Connecticut. A well paid job that she enjoys so much. And thefort of her small rented apartment.


    Once she leaves moon stone pack, the fantasy of being Allison the witch of Maridom woulde to an end. Doctor Meagan Swift, the reality that she can never escape no matter the type of mask she tried to wear on her face or the camouge on her skin.


    She found Jones standing close to his car as he waited for her. ¡°I just need to get my box at the guesthouse.¡± She said as she bounced down the few steps.


    ¡°Alright. The flight to Connecticut has been booked.¡± Jones opened the car door for her to get in.


    He drove down to the guesthouse. Meagan rushed into her room, changed her heels to t sandals and picked her things without leaving any item behind. Jones helped to put the box in the booth and they drove out of moon stone pack to the airport.


    Meagan called her elder sister to check on the progress of their father. And Penelope informed her that their mom just signed a consent form for their dad to undergo a surgery. The medical team had managed to resuscitate Mr Swift after he suffered from a severe heart attack. Jonesforted Meagan as she cried her eyes out and prayed for her father.


    Meagan was already on the ne to Connecticut when alpha Carl Damien returned back into the hall. His keen wolf eyes was quick to survey therge room but he couldn¡¯t find her and she wasn¡¯t at her table too.


    Carl crossed the room to where Julius and his mate stood talking to some of Julius¡¯s family members.


    ¡°Julius,¡± he called.


    ¡°Where have you been, Carl?¡± Julius snapped lowly at the alpha when he pulled away from the small group to have a chat.


    ¡°I was at the infirmary with one of my nephews.¡± Carl answered.


    ¡°Meagan already left.¡± Julius blurted out when he noticed Carl¡¯s eyes looking around the room to find someone.


    ¡°Left to where?! She is supposed to stay till Monday right?!¡± Carl questioned frantically.


    Julius was surprised by the alpha¡¯s sudden change of expression.


    Soon Carl realized that he was overreacting which might raised Julius¡¯s suspicion. ¡°Where is she?¡± He sighed.


    ¡°She left to Connecticut.¡± Julius replied.


    ¡°Oh.. must be an emergency from work.¡± Carl mouthed with a forced smile on his face.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Julius shook his head in disagreement. ¡°Her father is ill.¡± He recounted the same thing Meagan had told him.


    Carl frowned deeply when he heard that it was Jones who booked the flight to Connecticut and also drove Meagan to the airport. It could have been him but Carl shrugged off the thought. He didn¡¯t think that he would have been able to handle saying goodbye to the woman he had fun spending time with.


    ¡°Should I share her contact to you?¡± Julius asked.


    ¡°No, there won¡¯t be any need to share her number to me. I am too busy to pay attention to any woman at the moment.¡± Carl answered.


    Julius tried to protest but Carl cuts off his sentence. ¡°I¡¯ll be heading out now. I need to put something together for tomorrow¡¯s full wolf moon celebration.¡± Carl said before turning away towards the exit doors.


    The alpha concluded that the fantasy and secret adventure with the witch had finallye to an end and he may never get to see her again. But somehow his alpha wolf disagreed with his thoughts.


    Meagan¡¯s eyes nced down at her hands as the announcement ofnding in Connecticut sounded in the ne. Meagan realized that she had been clutching onto a white handkerchief all day long. It was the same one the alpha had given to her to wipe her tears at the mating rituals. Just when she thought that she didn¡¯t have anything to remind her of the alpha except memories which she intend to not dwell on. But this handkerchief from him would remind her of everything she had done at moon stone pack.


    Meagan concluded that she would dispose it.

 EPISODE 52 The good doctor

    IN CONNECTICUT


    Three days has passed since Meagan left moon stone pack in an hurry to make it down to Connecticut. Her two weeks leave would soon be over which means she has to resume back to her life of being a medical doctor.


    Mr Swift¡¯s surgery was a sess and they all prayed for him to regain consciousness. Meagan hoped that she would get to hear her father talk again before she return back to her home. And as usual Mrs Swift scolded Meagan for choosing medicine overw. Sheined about Meagan not having time to visit the family often and making it to family gathering. She stated that things would have been more easier for them all and Meagan couldn¡¯tprehend her words. But Meagan just concluded that probably her mom was frustrated and stressed due to the fact that her husband wasn¡¯t in a good condition.


    Meagan didn¡¯t stay at her parents home just to avoid her mother venting out anger on her again. So instead she stayed at her sister¡¯s home. Although Meagan wanted to book a room at the hotel closest to the hospital but Penelope had insisted that she stays at her home.


    Meagan¡¯s phone beeped and she stirred in her sleep but didn¡¯t make an attempt to answer it. The phone kept on ringing until Penelope walked into the living room. She was surprised Meagan didn¡¯t pick up the phone knowing that her sister wasn¡¯t a deep sleeper.


    ¡°Meagan, your cellphone is ringing.¡± Penelope tapped her sister gently.


    ¡°It must be either Jones or Ethan. Leave it.¡± Meagan grumbled and ced a soft pillow on her ear to block the sound.


    ¡°It¡¯s Jones. If you don¡¯t want to answer any calls then switch it off. The sound is so annoying!¡± Penelopeined.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    The phone stopped ringing for about a minute but soon pinged again. Penelope rolled her eyes. ¡°Now.. Ethan is calling.¡± She walked closer to Meagan and removed the pillow.


    ¡°Get up¡­ Ethan might have something important to say. Who knows? It might be work rted.¡± Penelope dragged her sister to sit up.


    Meagan grumbled as she took the phone from her sister to answer the call. ¡°Hello Ethan,¡± she said.


    ¡°Good evening, Meagan. How are you doing today?¡± Ethan asked.


    ¡°I am fine. Thanks. What about you?¡± Meagan rolled her eyes.


    ¡°I am doing okay aside the fact that I miss your presence here at the hospital. No.. I mean everyone misses you and that¡¯s why I am calling. I hope your dad is getting better?¡± Ethan cleared his throat.


    ¡°Yes, he is fine. But yet to regain consciousness.¡± Meagan answered.


    ¡°I am sure he¡¯ll be fine.¡± Ethan said and she hummed a response.


    Ethan sighed. ¡°Meagan, I know you are going through a lot at the moment and your leave has not ended-¡± he stopped talking.


    Meagan waited for him to continue his intended sentence.


    ¡°Meagan, can you be at the hospital tomorrow?¡± Ethan requested.


    Meagan looked at her sister who was staring at her. ¡°Why? Is there any problem?¡± She asked.


    ¡°Not really. It¡¯s just that one of your patients has been refusing treatment because you aren¡¯t here.¡± Ethan informed her.


    Meagan knew who Ethan was talking about immediately. ¡°Mr James.¡± She smiled.


    ¡°Yes. He stoppeding for his check up the day he found out you are on leave. He requested for your private number but I told him that we don¡¯t give out personal details of our doctors without their consent. I even offered to run his check ups but he refused and his family are worried about him breaking down again. Please Meagan, can you do this for me?¡± Ethan¡¯s voice pleaded with her.


    Well almost all her patients loves her. And Mr James, the sixty eight years old man isn¡¯t the first patient to refuse treatment on her absence. Some little children preferred her to inject them because she would y and crack jokes until the needle is in and out of their bodies. Sometimes, she sings to help them feel rxed because some of them don¡¯t like the hospital. The tiny needle is almost everyone¡¯s fear.


    Meagan heaved a sigh before speaking up. ¡°I am sorry, Ethan. I¡¯ll stay around till tomorrow to check on my dad¡¯s progress. I need to be here when he regains consciousness. But anytime Mr James or any other patients refuses treatment because of me just put anyone of them on the line so I can have a word with them.¡± She loves her job and it is her top priority but she also has to fulfill her responsibility as a daughter.


    She can¡¯t leave Connecticut yet because her father was yet to regain consciousness. Meagan was patiently waiting so she could talk to him again.


    These passed three days was filled with sleepless nights, watching over her father and fighting off the fear of loosing him.


    Hazel had called and she had spoke to Julius too. The newly wedded already left for their honeymoon the next day after the full wolf moon celebration. Meagan had been tempted to ask of the alpha but she chose to keep her words at bay. Nobody should ever find out about her passionate connection with the alpha. Meagan already concluded that as time goes on she would end up forgetting about the alpha even though their moments kept popping up in her mind¡¯s eye.


    Jones kept in touch with Meagan. Since she got on the neing to Connecticut, Hones has made it his duty to always check up on Meagan. He would call at least five times in a day to ask about her father¡¯s health progress. He had even suggesteding to Connecticut to be with her but Meagan declined immediately. She told him that it wasn¡¯t necessary, she reassured him that she was holding up very fine and informed him that they would have dinner on a weekend when she gets back to New York.

 EPISODE 53 Find a man

    IN CONNECTICUT


    Meagan¡¯s offer to have dinner with Jones made him extremely happy. Jones was looking forward to having a nice weekend with her and he has already started looking for restaurants to have dinner with her.


    Ethan on the other hand also did a great job at keeping in touch with Meagan via text messages but he only called a few times due to his busy schedules at the hospital. He also made an offer to have Mr Swift transferred to Clevnd hospital so he would enjoy free medical expenses because Meagan is a top staff but she refused the offer. Meagan stated that it wasn¡¯t her decision to make alone and she doubted if her mother would ever agree even though they don¡¯t need to pay for the medical expenses. Mrs Taylor Swift life is all in Connecticut.


    Meagan had ended the conversation that day by saying the doctors at Bradley hospital are doing a great job too.


    Ethan coughed a few times. ¡°Are you okay?¡± Meagan asked.


    He cleared his throat before speaking up. ¡°I woke up with sore throat this morning but I already used medication.¡±


    ¡°Alright. Please take good care of yourself.¡± Meagan replied.


    Ethan wished her father quick recovery and said his goodbye before she disconnected the call.


    Penelope moved from the couch she sat on to settle beside her sister.


    ¡°What?¡± Meagan asked when her sister looked at her suspiciously. She knew her sister was up for something. It is either Penelope wanted to ask silly questions or gossip about a distant family member. Meagan picked the former.


    Penelope cleared her throat. ¡°So which of them are you seeing?¡±


    Meagan raised her eyebrows in confusion. ¡°I don¡¯t understand.¡±


    Penelope repositioned herself to face her sister. ¡°I am talking about Ethan and Jones. Who are you seeing? Is it Jones or Ethan? Or are you confused about who to pick between them? I am can help you.¡± She rushed out her words.


    Meagan rolled her eyes. ¡°No, it¡¯s not-¡±


    Penelope interrupted her. ¡°You should choose Ethan. He is a cool guy and from a wealthy home. You guys would look good together. I mean.. you are a doctor, he is a surgeon and also the director of one of the best hospitals in America. For Jones, I feel he might be too clingy and over protective too which are red gs in a rtionship. So you should go out with Ethan.¡± A bright smile yed on her face.


    Meagan feigned a smile. ¡°Jones¡¯s family owns a textilepany and he is the director of the branch at New York.¡±


    ¡°Wow! Lucky you girl, your suitors are great!¡± She pped her hands in excitement.


    ¡°But mind you, I am dating none of them.¡±  Meagan said.


    Penelope smile faded. ¡°Why? You don¡¯t want a rtionship yet?¡± She demanded.


    Meagan shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t want to see anyone.¡±


    Penelope frowned. ¡°You are not getting younger anymore. We are all fixed with partners except you.¡±


    Meagan stood up from the couch but before she could say her next words, Penelope interrupted her.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    ¡°Listen right before dad copsed, he asked me if you already found someone. I said no and he nned to set you up with some of his colleagues children. Do you remember Carlos?¡± She asked.


    ¡°Yes Carlos, the boy you had a crush on in high school.¡± Meagan replied.


    Penelope snapped her fingers. ¡°Yes! Dad wanted to set you up with him. Carlos is the first on the list and he seemed interested because he agreed to meet you almost immediately.¡±


    ¡°He shouldn¡¯t even dare set me up with any man.¡± Meagan folded her arms across her chest.


    ¡°Then you should find yourself a man before dad chooses someone for you or even worst-mom.¡± Penelope pointed a finger at her sister.


    ¡°They won¡¯t force me to marry anyone right?¡± Meagan hands dropped to her side.


    Penelope stood up from the couch. ¡°It¡¯s up to you. Are you still having a hard time getting over your ex-boyfriend? What¡¯s the dude name again?¡± She tried to remember.


    ¡°Max.¡± Meagan reminded her.


    ¡°Yes Max, is he the one stopping you?¡± Penelope frowned.


    ¡°No, I am over Max now.¡± Meagan answered.


    ¡°Then why won¡¯t you date someone else? Well I was hoping you would find someone at Hazel¡¯s wedding as the chief¡¯s bridesmaids. I mean.. there must have been plenty guys at the event.¡± Penelope shrugged.


    Meagan looked away from her sister. ¡°Did you scare those men away with your antisocial personality and that cold stare?¡± Penelope demanded but she got no response from her sister.


    Meagan did met someone who didn¡¯t withdraw because of her antisocial personality and cold stare. She had met a strange man who made her panties wet with just few words. She didn¡¯t know that he was more than a man. He was something more. Something beyond her imagination. He is the alpha, what she least expected him to be. She remembered a few perfect moments with the alpha.


    Meagan found her thoughts drifting backward, the hours of perfect and intimate moments in alpha Carl Damien¡¯s arms. She couldn¡¯t stop wondering if she would ever get involved with any man that way again. It was hard for her to imagine having another day of fantasy with anyone else. But she also found herself concluding that she might do it again with him-the warlord and alpha.


    Penelope looked at her sister oddly as a small crimson color med her cheeks. ¡°Are you okay?¡± She snapped her fingers right in front of Meagan¡¯s eyes jolting her out of thought.


    Meagan jerked in fear, she was surprised to see her sister right in front of her. Her mind had wondered too far that she didn¡¯t notice Penelope¡¯s movement.


    ¡°What were you thinking?¡± Penelope asked.


    A tedious expression yed on her face. ¡°Nothing¡­ I was just thinking about dad¡¯s health.¡± She lied.


    ¡°Is this a blush on your cheeks?¡± Penelope tried to pinch her cheeks and but she pulled back.


    Meagan frowned. ¡°Stop it.. Penelope.¡± She has to keep a nk face so her sister won¡¯t keep the questionsing until she spilled everything. Well it won¡¯t be easy forgetting about the alpha of moon stone pack.


    ¡°Alright. But try to consider Ethan, he is a good guy. But Jones-¡± Penelope¡¯s voice trailed off.


    ¡°Jones is a good guy too.¡± Meaganpleted her unintended sentence. And so is the alpha of moon stone pack. She thought within herself.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want our younger ones getting married before you. Ethan. Ethan. Ethan. He is the right man for you. And get rid of the cold stare on your face and always wear a smile on it to attract more men into your lonely life.¡± Penelope tapped Meagan¡¯s shoulder before walking away.


    Meagan heaved a sigh of frustration. ¡°I don¡¯t even want anyone.. I just want to work, work and fulfill my mapped out ns for the future.¡± Meagan mumbled as she counted her fingers. ¡°Buy a house with a big pool, a nice car, pay more attention to work-¡± she paused. ¡°Having a rtionship or getting married is at the bottom of my list. Geez! I don¡¯t even want to think about it!¡± She flopped down on the couch.


    Later that day, around 7:00 p. m, Penelope received a call from their mom saying that their dad already regained consciousness. And Meagan returned back to New York two dayster, just a day to when her leave at work ends.

 EPISODE 54 Well built wall

    NEW YORK


    THREE WEEKS LATER


    MEAGAN¡¯S APARTMENT


    Meagan stepped out of the bathroom after having a cold shower. She already had a long day at work, attending to patients, running down to the emergency ward, a patient ina who had a seizure and then Mr Jamesing around for his check up. She haven¡¯t had an eight hours sleep since the past five days but lucky for her, she was off work tomorrow.


    Meagan loves her job so much but there are days when she would wonder if she should really have considered being awyer.


    Her stomach made a loud rumbling sound. She didn¡¯t have the chance to eat since yesterday afternoon which is a very no long time. She was hungry. Meagan wore her pajamas before making her way to the kitchen to grab something from the fridge to munch on as she settles to cook a good meal for dinner.


    She opened the fridge to find just a bag of potato chips and a green apple in it. The fridge was empty because it has been so long since she went on a grocery shopping. She stared at the bag of potato chips and green apple.


    ¡°I might starve to death. How on earth did I not remember buying groceries on my way back home?¡± Meagan grumbled as she grabbed the bag of potato and a bottle of water. And as she walked to the living room, she concluded that she would head out after finishing her chips.


    As Meagan settled on the couch, her cellphone buzzed. She reached for it and saw a message from Jones. She clicked on the screen and read the message.


    ¡°Hi Meagan, am I calling at the wrong time? I mean are you still busy at work?¡± He added a smiley emoji.


    Meagan texted back. ¡°I am home.¡±


    And Jones call came in almost immediately and she picked up.


    ¡°Hello Jones, good evening.¡± Meagan greeted.


    ¡°Hello, Meagan. How are you doing?¡± He asked.


    ¡°I am fine. I just got back from work not too long ago.¡± Meagany on the couch and opened the bag of potato.


    ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± Jones heard the sound over the phone.


    ¡°A bag of potato. I am hungry.   And I just realized that my fridge is empty with just a bag of potato and green apple in it.¡± She replied.


    ¡°Meagan, whenst did you have a good meal?¡± Jones asked.


    ¡°I can¡¯t remember. I have been surviving on just snacks and soda for days now.¡± Meagan ate a crunchy chip.


    Jones let out a breathe. ¡°That¡¯s too bad. I told you never to skip your meals. You work so hard enough so you should eat healthily.¡±


    ¡°Yes doctor Jones.¡± Meagan giggled.


    ¡°So what¡¯s the n?¡± Jones asked.


    ¡°I¡¯ll find time to do grocery shopping soon or probably tomorrow morning.¡± Meagan responded followed by a yawn.


    ¡°You can¡¯t wait till tomorrow. You need to eat something good. Listen Meagan, I am done with my work at the office so how about we have dinner somewhere nice and probably buy groceries together too?¡± Jones requested politely.


    ¡°It¡¯s a good offer and I can¡¯t turn it down. Alright, let¡¯s eat out.¡±  Meagan answered. ¡°What time would you be here?¡± She sat up on the couch.


    ¡°Soon¡­ expect me in about twenty minutes.¡± His response was sharp and immediate.


    Meagan couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°I¡¯ll be waiting.¡± Then Jones ended the call without saying anything else.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Meagan jumped to her feet and went into the bedroom to change her pajamas. It wasn¡¯t the first, second or third time that she would be having dinner with Jones. In the past three weeks, they have gotten so close than she never expected. It was bing like a normal routine to go out with Jones on her off days and sometimes he would call at her home to say hi.


    The rtionship was a friendly one and it hasn¡¯t gone beyond that level. Jones was trying to take things slow with Meagan so he wouldn¡¯t lose her again like he had done in the past. He had been too persistent in the past and the pressure on her to date him was so obvious. But now, Jones was working towards making Meagan get familiar with andfortable around him. He knew Meagan was trying to withdraw herself from men due to her past rtionship which she already briefed him.


    Jones hopes that Meagan would be more open to him and let down the solid walls that she has built around her heart.


    After fussing about what to wear, Meagan opted in for a ck polo on a grey leather trouser and paired it with a slide. A simple wear that made herfortable. She brushed her hair and packed it up in a bun style.


    About half an hourter, the door bell jangled and Meagan rushed out of the room to answer it. Jones stood outside her door, a bright smile on his face as he looked straight into her eyes.


    ¡°Come in,¡± Meagan opened the door wide for him to step in.


    ¡°What¡¯s in those bags?¡± She asked pointing at the bags he was holding.


    ¡°Groceries.¡± Jones answered


    ¡°What? I thought.. we had ns to do it together.¡± Meagan screwed up her face.


    ¡°Time has gone. If we have dinner¡­ you might be too tired to do the groceries shopping. I just made things easier for the both of us.¡± He bought enough groceries from the numbers of bags he dumped on the couch.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this too much for just one mouth to feed?¡± Meagan counted the bags-six in total.


    Jones chuckled. ¡°It willst you for a long time since you are always too busy at work.¡± He answered.


    ¡°So how much does it cost so I can repay you?¡± Meagan asked as she pointed at the bags.


    ¡°There won¡¯t be any need refunding me. I got them for you.¡± Jones tucked his right hand into his pocket.


    ¡°No Jones¡­¡± She paused knowing Jones won¡¯t ept for her to refund him.


    ¡°What?¡± He asked.


    ¡°I¡¯ll only ept these groceries if you agree to let me pay for our dinner.¡± Meagan stated with a serious look on her face.


    Jones shook his head. ¡°You always want to have your way.¡±


    Meagan let out a giggle that had Jones smiling brightly. ¡°Alright. Dinner is on you tonight.¡± He agreed.


    ¡°So which restaurant are we visiting? And what food should we eat for dinner?¡± Meagan grabbed her cellphone and dropped it in the mini bag on her body.


    ¡°What do you want this time?¡± Jones asked.


    ¡°Italian food. I love it!¡± Meagan replied.


    ¡°I knew it. I picked blue hill restaurant. I heard they have a new Italian recipe that has made people cue at their doorstep.¡± Jones said.


    ¡°Yeah.. I heard it too.¡± Meagan nodded. ¡°So we have to wait for our turn?¡± She asked as they motioned towards the door.


    ¡°No, a good friend works there so I already booked a spot for us in advance.¡± Jones answered.


    ¡°Alright.¡± Meagan locked the door and walked up to meet Jones in the car.


    He ignited the car that roared back to life, he pulled out of the private driveway and hit the road.

 EPISODE 55 A great lesson

    NEW YORK


    BLUE HILLS RESTAURANT


    Every American citizen has a favorite restaurant that he or she loves to visit to have either breakfast, lunch or dinner. And same goes with favorite meals and desserts. The best restaurant to go in New York to have Italian food is Blue Hill Restaurant. They are the best in making all kind of Italian cuisine.


    Meagan loves Italian food, the main reason why Jones picked the ce this time. Blue Hill Restaurant is one of the most elegant ce to eat and the most beautiful in town. Meagan has been here a lot of times but Jones has been here one time when his mom had set him up on a blind date with a business tycoon daughter. The restaurant somewhat reminded Meagan of the past. If it wasn¡¯t for her love for Italian food she would have stoppeding to Blue Hill Restaurant.


    A guard at the door weed Meagan and Jones and they walked in to find their reserved table in the restaurant. Meagan felt rxed as she breathe in the smell of Italian food and her stomach grumbled reminding her of how hungry she was at the moment.


    A waitress walked up to them. ¡°Good evening and wee to Blue Hill Restaurant. Please what would you like to have?¡± She asked with a warm andforting smile on her face.


    The waitress was so natural and her words flowed smoothly from her mouth. Blue Hill Restaurant have trained their workers to be gentle and kind and polite to their customers.


    ¡°I¡¯ll have the new recipe everyone has been talking about and a bottle of wine.¡± Jones replied.


    ¡°What about you, ma¡¯am?¡± The waitress asked.


    ¡°I¡¯ll try the same.. spaghetti A carbonarazio.¡± Meagan tried to pronounce it but she didn¡¯t get it right.


    The waitress corrected Meagan causing her to giggle a little. ¡°I¡¯ll be right back with your order.¡± The waitress walked out.


    ¡°I should check out this new recipe on their site.¡± Meagan took out her cellphone, switched on the data and clicked on Google. She type in the Italian cuisine on Blue Hill Restaurant site.


    ¡°Found it?¡± Jones asked as he studied her.


    Meagan nodded. ¡°Carbonara is a typical dish from Lazio. It is a pasta dish made with spaghetti, carbonara sauce, rigatoni, bucatinibined with egg and cheese.¡± She read it to him.


    ¡°Sounds like a crazy meal.¡± Jones chuckled.


    Meagan showed him the image of the food on the site. ¡°From the review section, they said the taste is crazy and the secret of the meal is the creamy sauce that covers it.¡± She swallowed hard as she looked at the image on her cellphone again.


    About five minutester, the waitress brought the food and a small te of sd was added.


    ¡°Is the sd part of the meal?¡± Meagan asked with a furrowed eyebrows.


    ¡°It¡¯s like aplimentary gift for getting this particr meal.¡± The waitress replied.


    ¡°Alright. This looks really nice.¡± Jonesmented.


    ¡°Please enjoy your meal.¡± The waitress smiled and turned away to leave.


    Meagan took part of the crispy green sd that was lightly coated with cream and she mixed it with the pasta dish. Meagan scooped it into her mouth, the mixture gave her a unique taste as she experienced the intensebination of vors.


    ¡°Wow! This is delicious!¡± She urged Jones to mix his meal the same way she did but he mentioned that he doesn¡¯t eat sd.


    ¡°Really? I didn¡¯t know.¡± Meagan wiped her mouth with a serviette.


    Jones tasted the cream sauce on the meal. ¡°This ss indeed crazy. I agree.¡± Hemented on the food.


    Meagan and Jones ate while they discussed random things about work, food, and weather forecast.


    ¡°Excuse me.¡± A masculine voice said. Meagan looked up and then she saw him. ¡°Meagan, long time.¡± Max smiled.


    Meagan couldn¡¯t utter a word. She didn¡¯t expect to see him.


    ¡°Is he the new guy you are seeing? Wow! Finally, you have gotten a chance to let go of your feelings for me.¡± Max tucked his hands into his pocket. He had two of his friends behind him.


    Jones already knew this man was Meagan¡¯s ex boyfriend just by his words.


    ¡°Well.. I am surprised to see you.. how long has it been now? Two.. or three.. years? I can¡¯t even remember. Are you still a regr at this ce? Oh I can see it.¡± Max pointed at their empty tes on the table. He had sighted Meagan when they stepped into the restaurant and decided toe up to her.


    Jones got out of the chair and stood face to face with Max. ¡°You should be more polite to her.¡± He said.


    ¡°Jones, just let him be.¡± Meagan stood up, reached for her bag, removed few notes from it and dropped it on the table.


    ¡°Leaving so soon? Come on, Meagan, we haven¡¯t seen each other in a long time. So how about we have a friendly chat?¡± Max ignored Jones and looked her.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have anything to say to you.¡± Meagan said. He is still an asshole. She said within.


    ¡°Why? We still have an unfinished business. Remember I didn¡¯t agree to us breaking up.¡± Max chuckled.


    ¡°You are crazy, Max.¡± Meagan said.


    His eyes did a slow crawl on her. ¡°Your style seems to have changed. You don¡¯t look so nerdy and innocent anymore.¡± Maxughed at her.


    Jones couldn¡¯t control his fury anymore but he tried so hard to not allow his wolf to burst out into the opening and pounce on Max. He decided to teach Max a lesson in a cool way.


    ¡°Max.¡± Jones stretched out his hand towards Max for an handshake.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Max looked back at him. ¡°Are you her new man?¡± He asked.


    ¡°No, I am just a friend. And all thanks to you I can¡¯t go pass that stage with her.¡± Jones answered. From what he knows this man right her is the only reason why Meagan can¡¯t go into another rtionship yet.


    ¡°Why? Did she lie to you about me? I didn¡¯t do anything wrong. Well.. I just yed a game on her and scored a goal.¡± Max looked at Meagan with a smirk on his face.


    Tears welled up in her eyes but she blinked them back immediately.


    ¡°Right, you did well. I am Max.¡± His hands was still hanging in the air.


    ¡°You look like a yboy yourself. So don¡¯t waste your timemitting yourself to her.¡± Max epted the handshake.


    ¡°How about we be good friends for about two minutes?¡± Jones grinned as he squeezed Max¡¯s hand.


    ¡°Wh¡­ what.. what are you trying¨C¡± Max voice trailed off as he tried to pull his hand out but Jones hold was too strong on him.


    ¡°Nerdy? What¡¯s so wrong about being a Nerd? I heard about the things you did to her and you never apologized for your wrong deeds.¡± Jones said in a low tone.


    Max groaned in pains until his eyes pleaded with Jones to let him go.


    Jones growled, warning Max¡¯s entourage to stay back or else he would hurt them. They didn¡¯t dare to move knowing he is a werewolf.


    ¡°Can you feel the pain? Your bones will be crushed if I don¡¯t let go anytime soon. But it is not even close to what she went through with you and after you left her.¡± Max became sweaty, he could feel his bones cracking as Jones squeeze his hand harder.


    Meagan just stood there as a tears that had threatened to spill already strayed down her cheek. ¡°You¡¯ll apologize to her!¡± Jones grimaced as Max fell on his knees.


    Meagan was silence. She liked that Max was in pain. How dare he show his face to her again after everything he has done to her? She never prayed to see him ever again.


    ¡°Fine! I¡¯ll apologize!¡± Max groaned.


    Everyone attention was now on them as they watched the scene. Jones released Max¡¯s hand. ¡°Go ahead.¡±


    Max let out a shaky breathe. ¡°I.. I.. I am sorry.. Meagan.. for everything.¡± He apologized.


    Jones ordered him to make a promise to never bother Meagan again and Max did as instructed.


    Jones went ahead to where Meagan stood and he wiped her tear with his fingertips. ¡°It¡¯s alright. We can go now. He¡¯ll never show his face to you again.¡±


    Max couldn¡¯t lift his hand as he watched Jones leave with Meagan. ¡°I told you not to meet her.¡± One of his men said.


    ¡°Shut the fuck up!¡± Max shunned him.


    His entourage tried to help him up but he groaned in pain as they led him out of the restaurant.

 EPISODE 56 He missed her

    MOON STONE PACK


    FOUR WEEKS LATER


    Alpha Carl Damien sat on the swivel chair behind a big mahogany desk with a blue file in his hands. It was close to evening time, a good hour to take a break to have dinner but he was too busy handling and reading different files. The workload has doubled since his beta wasn¡¯t back from the honeymoon yet but the couples would be back in few days time.


    Despite being buried in pack affairs, a perfect way to keep his mind closed up but Alpha Carl Damien always find his mind drifting back to the passionate moments spent with the witch of Maridom.


    Seven weeks has passed since his best friend got married, the same day Meagan had slipped out of the wedding hall without a final word to him after she received an emergency call from her sister that her father had copsed.


    Alpha Carl Damien heaved a sigh as he leaned back in the chair, his gaze fixated on his cellphone. His only regret was not collecting Meagan¡¯s number even though they had agreed to keep the affair a secret. She had left without a word which had hurt him than he never expected.


    The first three days after all the celebrations ended and Meagan¡¯s departure, alpha Carl Damien had shrugged off the memory of spending a good time with a strange woman but it was followed by a feeling of yearning to be with her again. His wolf was disappointed that he may never have a chance to see her again. His wolf med him for spending too much time in the infirmary that night instead of being in the hall with his eyes on Meagan. But because he wasn¡¯t present when she was about leaving, he had lost the chance of saying a final goodbye. As days passed into weeks, Alpha Carl Damien hase to realize that there was more to his wolf wanting Meagan in their life.


    To be honest, Alpha Carl Damien missed Allison the witch of Maridom. He missed her beautiful face. He missed hearing her voice. He missed having a chat with her. He missed her angelic smile. He wanted to experience the passion and spark and vibration that had red between them whenever they were alone and very close to each other.


    Several times, alpha Carl Damien tried to remind himself that what they had was just a fling and meant to remain that way. He tried to exin to his wolf that they shouldn¡¯t expect more. But his wolf was refusing his words and the alpha has alsoe to admit that he wanted more with her.


    He picked up his cellphone to call his best friend with a n of asking for Meagan¡¯s number buy a question crossed his mind.


    ¡°Do you want to meet Allison or Meagan Swift?¡±


    Alpha Carl Damien furrowed his eyebrows at the sudden question. He pondered on it as the cellphone slipped from his hand to the table.


    Allison the witch of Maridom and Meagan Swift are both trapped in the same body but they have different personalities.


    The alpha got lost in thought trying to find the right answer as he bantered internally with his wolf until they both reached a conclusion. And they both hope for good results toe from the bold and courageous step that they are about to take this time.


    NEW YORK


    CLEVELAND HOSPITAL


    Meagan grabbed her lunch at the food desk and then made her way to join the table where three of her colleagues sat discussing about random things.


    ¡°Please join us.¡± Doctor Jenna said before Meagan could even make the request.


    ¡°Thank you, Jenna.¡± Meagan smiled as she settled on the only chair left. ¡°How is your shift in the emergency ward?¡± She directed the question at Nurse Mira.


    ¡°Stressful.¡± Nurse Mira let out a sigh with a tired look on her face.


    ¡°I think you should consider taking a maternity leave now.¡± Nurse Carissa, a wolf suggested.


    Meagan¡¯s head snapped up to look at nurse Carissa. ¡°Maternity leave?¡± Her gaze drifted towards nurse Mira.


    ¡°Yes she is in her first trimester.¡± Doctor Jenna said with excitement in her tone.


    Meagan was surprised. ¡°Yes, I am pregnant. I am sorry for not telling you about it.¡± Nurse Mira apologized.


    Lunch hours is the only time they all have to be together. But in thest two months there haven¡¯t been an opportunity for them to have a proper conversation. Nurse Mira got married to a werewolf about four months ago. She was off work for just two weeks for her honeymoon but they had kept in touch via text messages. Meagan was surprised by the revtion because she didn¡¯t notice Mira had a bump. She has been too busy to even take the slight note that her friend could be pregnant.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t know.. seriously it¡¯s not so obvious.¡± Meagan mumbled with a dazed look on her face.


    ¡°Why do you think she has been so silent around her?¡± Nurse Carissa asked.


    ¡°Oh¡­¡± Meagan mouthed as she nodded her head slowly in understanding.


    Nurse Mira was like the vibe machine in the hospital. She had a very good rtionship with the children. But she has been too quiettely.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t know I was pregnant until two weeks ago. The recent early morning sickness and tiredness made me settle to do a test.¡± Nurse Mira had a bright smile on her face as she discussed with her colleagues.


    They were so happy for her.  ¡°So I am going to have a baby!¡± Nurse Mira said excitedly.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    ¡°I am so happy for you, Mira.¡± Meagan said although a little dazed as they diverted the topic to human women marrying a werewolf and don¡¯t experience early morning sickness in their first trimester.


    ¡°I havee to realize that the growth of a werewolf fetus is quite different from the human.¡± Doctor Jenna said.


    ¡°Yes, you are right. My husband said that the fetus  of a werewolf in first three months is quite slow making it hard for the woman to know she is pregnant.¡± Nurse Mira added.


    ¡°My goodness, some women don¡¯t even know they are weeks gone! And it sometimes happens with humans too.¡± Doctor Jenna sipped from her iced tea.


    Nurse Carissa and Mira nodded in agreement. ¡°Do you remember the case of Mrs Britney?¡± Nurse Carissa asked.


    ¡°Yes! The mistress to an alpha! I can¡¯t believe she was about ten weeks gone and she didn¡¯t know she was pregnant until the test results confirmed it.¡± Doctor Jenna exined the case.


    ¡°I think I just experienced the same issue. I mean.. if I had some morning sickness early I would have realized that I was pregnant.¡± Nurse Mira giggled.


    ¡°That means a medical practitioner can¡¯t escape it too.¡± Doctor Jennaughed and Mira and Carissa joined in except Meagan.


    She was lost in thought at the moment.

 EPISODE 57 His decision

    MOON STONE PACK


    FEW DAYS LATER


    Beta Julius and Hazel exchanged nces as the alpha paced to and fro in front of them. The couple got back into the pack yesterday and the alpha had made a request to see them in his apartment.


    Right now he was working up the courage to open up to his friend about what has been bothering his mind.


    Beta Julius cleared his throat. ¡°Can you stop pacing and tell us the reason why you invited us over? I am pretty sure it¡¯s not about the pack because my mate doesn¡¯t have anything to do with pack affairs.¡±


    Alpha Carl Damien stopped pacing and he drew in a deep breathe. He and his wolf has reached an agreement.


    ¡°Do you remember I mentioned it that I met someone during the full moon celebration?¡± Alpha Carl asked.


    Beta Julius scrunched up his face as he tried to remember.


    ¡°That day you came around and saw a bag right where you are sitting now.¡± Alpha Carl reminded his friend as he pointed at the couch.


    ¡°Oh yes! I remember! But.. you.. you didn¡¯t give me the full details.¡± Julius stammered.


    ¡°So you met someone? Why didn¡¯t you tell me he met someone?¡± Hazel turned to look at her mate.


    Beta Julius itched the back of his neck. ¡°It slipped my mind plus I don¡¯t even remember him telling me that he found someone until now.¡± He answered.


    Hazel turned sharply to face the alpha. ¡°Who is she? Is she a native of this pack? Have you decided to mate her? Tell me.. tell me.. I need to do a proper check on her to see if she deserve to be Luna.¡± Hazel rushed out her words as she questioned himself.


    ¡°Firstly she is not a native of this pack. She is not even a werewolf but I have decided to make her my mate if she is willing.¡± Alpha Carl Damien replied.


    ¡°How long have you been nning this? I was only gone for seven weeks and you are ready to make thing official with that human.¡± A frown crossed Beta Julius¡¯s face.


    ¡°Is seven weeks not long enough?¡± Alpha Carl asked.


    ¡°So you have been seeing her for seven weeks? Tell me, is she someone I know?¡± Beta Julius questioned.


    Alpha Carl Damien nodded his head. ¡°Yes, you know her.. both of you.¡± He answered.


    The mated couple exchanged nces. ¡°Woah! I am so disappointed right now. I was hoping my best friend would take the Luna spot.¡± Hazel hissed with a deep frown on her face.


    ¡°I guess we lost. So who is she?¡± Julius asked.


    Alpha Carl Damien already made up his mind. He would announce Meagan as his mate. He found the answer to the question that bugged his mind that day. He wanted to meet that human again not as Allison the witch of Maridom but as Meagan Swift even though they are the same person.


    He had made a promise to Allison the witch of Maridom to keep the affair a secret but he wanted to make Meagan Swift his mate. He already pulled out of the fantasy the moment he realized that his wolf wanted to have something more than a fling with this human. If Meagan was living close by, he would have collected her contact and convince her to see him again. He wanted more. And everything would have been easier for him if they haven¡¯t agreed to a secret adventure.


    ¡°Who is she?¡± Hazel snapped as she  jolted the alpha out of thought. She was angry because he was going to mate someone else instead of her best friend.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    ¡°Meagan Swift.¡± Alpha Carl Damien blurted out. He studied the mated couple expression-they were shocked.


    ¡°Meagan?!¡± The mated couple gasped out in unison.


    The alpha nodded in response. Julius and Hazel looked at each other before facing the alpha.


    ¡°You are joking right? Are you trying to pull our legs and waste our time here?¡± Julius demanded.


    Alpha Carl Damien knew they weren¡¯t going to believe his words. ¡°It is Meagan. She is the someone I told you about weeks ago.¡± A serious look yed on his face.


    ¡°What?!¡± Julius jaw dropped as realization hit him. ¡°The bag? I mean.. the one I saw right here that day¡­ was it Meagan¡¯s bag?¡± He stuttered.


    Alpha Carl Damien shook his head in agreement. Hazel¡¯s mouth was widely opened. She was still finding it hard to believe it.


    ¡°Did it started that day? I mean.. this whole thing. How did you ended up seeing Meagan without us knowing?!¡± Beta Julius questioned frantically.


    ¡°This is impossible. Meagan won¡¯t see you without telling me. She.. she.. doesn¡¯t.. want a man in her life yet. She.. didn¡¯t.. want to.. meet the alpha of.. my pack.¡± Hazel stammered. A feeling of disappointment stirred within her as she came to realize that her best friend might have hid something from her.


    ¡°We met each other at the Halloween party. We had just drinks and ate together that night. The second encounter was when she got lost trying to find your home and she ended up in front of my home to ask for directions. We danced and shared¡­¡± Alpha Carl paused to study his friends. They were patiently waiting for him to tell them everything. They should be happy right? They should be d that he wants to mate the woman they wanted for him.


    He cleared his throat and continued. ¡°We danced right here and shared a kiss too. The adventure started that same day.¡± He exined few things to his friends. The secret adventure they had both agreed to enjoy without telling anyone.


    ¡°Meagan did all that with you?!¡± Hazel gasped out in shock. Two things were on her mind at the moment, she was happy the so called alpha¡¯s mate turned out to be her best friend but she was angry Meagan had kept her in the dark.


    ¡°We had fun. But it ended on the day of your wedding. And I also didn¡¯t get to say a final goodbye to her.¡± Alpha Carl Damien answered.


    ¡°Wow! Unbelievable! You guys are so good at pretending. You declined the offer to meet her and you even said that you don¡¯t want any woman yet. So howe I never suspected it that something was going on between you two?¡± Beta Julius stood up from the couch.


    ¡°I am hurt by the facade of not wanting each other after we tried to matchmake you with her. And I am also shocked by that fact that Meagan hid things from me.¡± Hazel folded her arms with a pout on her lips.

 EPISODE 58 Her past relationship

    MOON STONE PACK


    Alpha Carl Damien ran his hand through his hair. ¡°I want to see her again.¡± He said looking at Hazel as if asking for her consent.


    ¡°How did youe to conclude that you want her to be your mate when it¡¯s just a fling that happened between you?¡± Hazel asked.


    ¡°My wolf. I haven¡¯t been at peace since she left. At first I wanted to forget it but trust me.. it hasn¡¯t been easy. I keep seeing her everywhere.¡± Alpha Carl Damien expressed himself.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this how you felt after spending a night with Madison? The only difference is that you courted Madison for about two years but you want to mate Meagan immediately.¡± Julius sat back on the couch.


    ¡°Allison.. your wolf wants to meet Allison the witch of Maridom and not Meagan Swift. It is obvious you fell for the character she yed and not the real, Meagan Swift. She is not like that.¡± Hazel stated with a serious face.


    ¡°Listen Hazel, I have given it a thought before deciding to open up to you guys. Trust me, I won¡¯t be standing here right now if I wanted to meet Allison the witch of Maridom. This might be simr to how I met Madison. Fine.. I grew so fond of Maddie but I think my feelings wasn¡¯t so strong to hold on to her. Believe me, in a short while my wolf feels different. It is not acting the same way it did when I met Madison.¡± He answered.


    ¡°It is obvious you and Madison were a mismatch right?¡± Julius asked.


    Alpha Carl nodded in agreement. ¡°Why haven¡¯t I travelled down to Paris to find Madison? It is because my wolf doesn¡¯t want it.¡±


    ¡°I guess you were to blinded by your love for her to realize that your wolf doesn¡¯t want her.¡± Beta Julius added.


    ¡°But it is different with Meagan. I have been having a rough time trying to calm my wolf. I have hardly stopped thinking about Meagan in the past seven weeks. I even went as far as doing too much work that weren¡¯t necessary just to forget her but nothing worked.¡± Alpha Carl said.


    ¡°You should have called her and set a meeting.¡± Julius bit down on his lower lip.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t get her contact because we agreed to a secret adventure.¡± Alpha Carl answered.


    Hazel let out a sigh. ¡°So you want Meagan to be your mate?¡± She asked.


    ¡°Yes, I want her to be my mate.¡± Alpha Carl Damien answered.


    ¡°And what if it doesn¡¯t work out?¡± Hazel asked.


    ¡°It has to work out this time.¡± Alpha Carl muttered.


    He was hopeful that things would work out with Meagan. The alpha isn¡¯t so proud of the fact that his first attempt to mating didn¡¯t work out. So this needs to work out. He was determined to mate Meagan.


    ¡°Believe me, this won¡¯t be easy. You have to consider so many things if you want Meagan to be your mate. She is a human, so will she be able to ept a wolf into her future? Will she give up everything she has ever worked for to be a Luna in a pack?¡± Beta Julius pointed out.


    ¡°I doubt if Meagan is ready to go down this path with you.¡± Hazel added.


    ¡°I know. But I should at least give it a try.¡± Alpha Carl replied.


    ¡°Did she tell you her greatest fear? I mean did you guys get to talk about past experiences?¡± Hazel asked.


    Alpha Carl Damien raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°Just few details about her family and job. We didn¡¯t go deeper because she is too closed up. Meagan made it so obvious that she doesn¡¯t want to know anything about me or for me to get to know her.¡±


    ¡°Well she knows about your past rtionship but at that time she didn¡¯t know the warlord and the alpha are the same man.¡± Hazel heaved a sigh.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know much about her but I am willing to get to know her better.¡± Alpha Carl Damien admitted.


    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you about Meagan Swift.¡± Hazel gestured to the alpha to take a seat on the couch and he did as instructed.


    ¡°Well there is one thing Meagan doesn¡¯t want anyone to ever find out about her. Her past rtionship.¡± Hazel said.


    ¡°But why? Is it that bad?¡± Alpha Carl asked.


    Hazel heaved a sigh before settling to speak up. ¡°The first man she ever loved took advantage of her naivety and inexperience about love. Meagan was crazy about Max and she really did have in her all in the rtionship. But one day, Meagan went to a pub with few of her friends and it was there there that she overheard her boyfriend having a conversation with his circle of friends. She walked in on Max sharing that he never loved her or cared about her. And how he had cheated on her with some other girls. He stated that she was too old fashioned and not his proper standard.¡± Hazel narrated.


    Alpha Carl screwed up his face in confusion. ¡°What¡¯s so old fashioned about her?¡± He demanded.


    ¡°Meagan didn¡¯t want to get intimate with any man until her wedding night. But she let down her guard, Max broke her resolve with his pretense and he defiled her. Max told his friends that he only wanted her in his bed and would never fall deep in love with a nerd.¡± Hazel recounted everything Meagan had told her the day she cried over the phone.


    ¡°He is an asshole.¡± Alpha Carl gritted his teeth in anger.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Beta Julius nodded his head in agreement to the alpha¡¯s words.


    ¡°Meagan was heartbroken. She broke up with Max without giving him a reason. His words destroyed her existence. She withdrew from people, stopped trusting anyone and she took sce in solitude.¡± Hazel swallowed hard as tears clouded her vision. She remembered how much her best friend had suffered just trying to get over her first boyfriend.


    ¡°My best friend became someone different. I couldn¡¯tfort her. And she made up her mind to never fall in love or even have anything to do with men ever again. After we graduated her job became hermitment.¡± Hazel wiped a tear that had slipped down her cheek.

 EPISODE 59 Her greatest fear

    MOON STONE PACK


    Alpha Carl Damien sped his palms together with a disturbing look on his face. ¡°He must have hurt her badly.¡± He mumbled.


    Hazel shook her head slowly. ¡°Meagan¡¯s greatest fear is falling in love again because she thinks what happened in the past might repeat itself again. And not just that, my best friend feels that she would always be in the position to beg a man to love and stay with her.¡± She sniffed.


    Alpha Carl¡¯s mind drifted back to the day Meagan had found out that he is the alpha of moon stone pack. Meagan was angry he had hid the truth from her which resulted in her keeping a distance from him. The alpha recalled how he had sneaked into her room through the window just to have a conversation. How he had tried to convince her that he didn¡¯t lie to get her in his bed. The facade which he didn¡¯t mean to put on.


    Meagan had ended the secret adventure and asked him to leave but it wasn¡¯t what she wanted. In the end, she had turned to go find him but he was there. Right in front of her, she has touched him, held on to him, buried her face in the solid walls of his chest and cried. He remembered how his heart beat had skipped as he wrapped his arms around her, apologizing for his mistake.


    At that point, he didn¡¯t understand why she had cried so much but it was all clear to him now. The alpha knew what happened back then must have triggered some memories from her past.


    Alpha Carl Damien closed his eyes  to dwell on the memory of them sharing a passionate kiss. The look in her eyes as they stare at each other. The spark he had felt with him at that moment hits differently but he didn¡¯t want to ept what his wolf was trying to tell him.


    Now everything was different because he wanted her to be his mate.


    ¡°Meagan hates to make mistake or even fail at anything. What if I fall in love again and it doesn¡¯t work out? What if I fail at it again? What if he takes advantage of me again? What if I am not good enough?¡± Hazel stopped to study the alpha¡¯s face. He was listening attentively to all her words.


    ¡°She is good enough for me.¡± Alpha Carl said in a tight whisper.


    ¡°That¡¯s how Meagan thinks in her head. So it might not be easy for her to get over these fears and insecurities.¡± Beta Julius replied.


    ¡°We can try to work things out. I¡¯ll give her a solid assurance that I will love her with all my heart.¡± Alpha Carl said.


    ¡°Your action should speak louder than your words. But what if Meagan is still unwilling to be with you after doing your best at convincing her?¡± Hazel asked.


    Alpha Carl Damien was silence. Beta Julius cleared his throat. ¡°I advice you think about-¡±


    ¡°I am not going to give up on her. Meagan must be my mate or no one else.¡± Alpha Carl grounded out looking straight at the mated couple with a serious look on his face.


    Beta Julius and Hazel knew his words was final. The alpha won¡¯t back down on making Meagan his mate. As a strong will wolf, he would never agree to fail again. This time he was determined to get what he wants, a mate.


    ¡°Where is your cellphone?¡± Hazel demanded.


    ¡°It is in my office.¡± Alpha Carl Damien stood up and left the living room to get his cellphone.


    ¡°We can¡¯t stop him from getting what he wants.¡± Beta Julius whispered to his mate and she shook her head.


    ¡°He is so head over heels for her. And I hope it works out this time.¡± Hazel mumbled.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you try to talk to Meagan?¡± Beta Julius suggested.


    ¡°You are right. But I¡¯ll only step in if she refuses to ept his proposal.¡± Hazel replied.


    Alpha Carl came back to the living room. ¡°Here it is.¡± He handed the cellphone to Hazel after unlocking it.


    Hazel pressed in Meagan¡¯s phone number and she gave the phone back to him. ¡°It¡¯s Meagan¡¯s number. Try to send her a text message first because if you put a call through to her it might scare her away.¡± She advised.


    Alpha Carl Damien nodded in understanding.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    ¡°Hello, Meagan. I hope you are doing okay? We didn¡¯t get to say a final goodbye at the wedding. I would be d to see you again. Alpha Carl.¡± He read the text message he had typed to the mated couple.


    ¡°No, delete the part of seeing her again. That cane inter.¡± Hazel said.


    ¡°Alright.¡± Alpha Carl did as instructed. ¡°Done.¡±


    ¡°We should wait for her response.¡± Beta Julius rubbed his temples.


    ¡°I have a favor to ask though.¡± Aloha Carl said.


    ¡°What is it?¡± The mated couple asked in unison.


    ¡°In case if you get to talk to her like you used to don¡¯t let her know that I already told you about the secret adventure. It might really scare her away.¡± Alpha Carl answered.


    ¡°What if she ask how you got her contact?¡± Beta Julius questioned.


    Alpha Carl tried to think. ¡°Hmm.. I got it.. from the guesthouse records. All the visitors that lodged at the guesthouse dropped their phone numbers right?¡±


    The mated couples nodded in agreement. ¡°That¡¯s a good one.¡±


    Julius stood up from the couch. ¡°We should get going.¡± He added.


    Hazel stood up. ¡°I wish you the best.¡± She shed the alpha a small smile.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Alpha Carl Damien apanied the mated couple to the door, waved them goodbye and came back to sit on the couch.


    He stared at his cellphone waiting for a response from Meagan until he fell asleep in the couch.

 EPISODE 60 Alpha鈥檚 Responsibility

    NEW YORK


    Meagan was in the kitchen trying to clean up after cooking dinner. She settled down to eat, when her cellphone beeped. She reached for it and saw that it was a text message. She went ahead to unlock her cellphone and skim through her inbox. It was a message from an unsaved number.


    Meagan clicked the screen to read the message only for the cup of water she had lifted to her mouth to drop on the table.


    ¡°Oh.. my goodness!¡± Meagan stood up quickly at the mess she just made. The cup has dropped into her meal and spilled water everywhere even on her body.


    ¡°Damn it!¡± She went in search of a napkin to clean up the mess and dropped the tes into the sink.


    For some minutes, she stood there just staring at the cellphone on the table. She was shocked. She never expected to ever receive a text message from the alpha of moon stone pack. Her throat tightened as she took the phone again to read the message over again.


    Why did he text her after all these weeks? She has been trying to forget about the alpha but it seemed impossible. Alpha Carl Damien has been on her mind since she walked away from the wedding hall.


    Meagan was supposed to be happy the alpha texted right? A bright smile ought to graze her expression at the thought of him messaging her right? But tears clouded her vision as she read the message over and over again.


    She pressed the keyboard to reply but soon kicked against it. Texting him back would onlyplicate things for her.


    *******


    Five days has passed. More messages came from the alpha. He told her how he has been doing since she left. He sent her jokes that was meant to crack her up. He sent her funny stories an old Gamma in the pack has shared with him. He filled her in about his job at the pack. He dropped messages each day but never made an attempt to call her.


    Meagan never responded to any of those text messages. His messages only piled up on WhatsApp and inbox but she never acknowledge them.


    Alpha Carl Damien begged her to reply. For her to at least say something but no response came from her.


    It was clear that Meagan was intentionally trying to push the alpha away. But hisst message to message says that, ¡°I am not giving up on you.¡±Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    She had read the message several times. And it only increased her fears. She wasn¡¯t ready to ept what is toe. She was trying to avoid what destiny has in store for her at all cost.


    *************


    MOON STONE PACK


    ¡°She hasn¡¯t replied any of my text messages.¡± Alpha Carl said to Hazel.


    ¡°Not even one of them?¡± She arched her eyebrows.


    ¡°Not even hi or ok. She is just like a brick wall trying to shut me out of her life. Perhaps did I scare her away with my load of messages?¡± Alpha Carl Damien wondered.


    ¡°What¡¯s yourst message to her?¡± Hazel questioned.


    ¡°I texted her this morning saying that.. I won¡¯t give up on her.¡± Alpha Carl answered.


    Hazel rolled her eyes. ¡°Did I send the wrong message?¡± Alpha Carl had a worried look on his face. ¡°I followed your advice of not trying to call her. I sent jokes and funny stories. I tried to give her an assurance that I was around if she needed someone to confide in. I didn¡¯t make the mistake of asking her to be my mate.¡± He rushed out his words.


    Hazel let out a pouch sigh. ¡°Meagan is scared of seeing you again. I know her fears and insecurities are lingering in the surface but I also have a feeling it is more than those things this time around.¡±


    ¡°So what are you thinking?¡± Alpha Carl asked.


    ¡°Well I remember Madison telling me that she once felt like she was dating the whole moon stone pack members.¡± Hazel answered.


    ¡°She said that to you? What does it mean?¡± Alpha Carl furrowed his eyebrows.


    Hazel nodded. ¡°Most times your private moments gets interrupted by calls, text message and handling files that deals with the efficient running of the pack.¡± She exined.


    ¡°This is my responsibility as the alpha of this pack.¡± Alpha Carl replied.


    ¡°Yes I know. Anyone that wants to be your mate needs to ept you as well as the pack. So do you think Meagan is ready for such life? Will she give up her normal life as a human and relocate to this pack? And remember her job is her life. Saving lives is her top most priority.¡± A sincere look crossed expression.


    ¡°Hazel, there has to be a way. I know it won¡¯t be easy for Meagan but I still need to talk to her about it.¡± Alpha Carl was serious about his words.


    ¡°Alright. How about I call her and tell her the whole truth?¡± Hazel suggested.


    ¡°Do you think it¡¯ll work out? Will it make things easy for me?¡± Alpha Carl demanded.


    ¡°We should give it a try.¡± Hazel replied with a shrug.


    Alpha Carl Damien nodded his head in agreement to call Meagan.


    **********


    NEW YORK


    Meagan unlocked the door into her apartment and she flopped down on the couch feeling so tired. After some minutes clicked by, she felt her eyes closing to sleep off but was jolted up by the ringtone of her cellphone. And she confirmed that it was her best friend, Hazel.


    Meagan sat up abruptly when she saw Hazel¡¯s name on the phone screen. They haven¡¯t talked since about a week now. After thest call, her mind was a bit rxed that her best friend haven¡¯t found out about what she did with the alpha.


    But today she was feeling ufortable by the sudden call from her best friend. Usually Hazel would threaten her with a text messages first  but this time there was none just a direct calls. It got really awkward as seconds passed by as she sat there just staring at the cellphone.


    Meagan knew Hazel would be really mad at her not for sleeping with the alpha but for hiding things from her. They had made a promise never to lie to each other and keep secrets. Hazel really hated to be in the dark and to also find out the truth from someone else especially issues that concerns someone close to her.


    Meagan contemted if she should really ignore the call or answer it.

 EPISODE 61 Give him a chance

    Meagan couldn¡¯t help but wonder if it was a coincidence that her best friend was calling the same day the alpha had texted that he wasn¡¯t going to give up on her. And then she concluded that she would answer the call to avoid Hazel¡¯s wrath.


    ¡°Hello, Meagan.¡± Hazel spoke up first.


    ¡°Hey Hazel, how are you?¡±  Meagan asked in a low tone.


    ¡°I am good. And what¡¯s up with you?¡± Hazel said lightly.


    ¡°I am just here. I came in from work not too long, tried to take a nap but your call came in.¡± Meagan replied.


    ¡°I guess.. I called at the wrong time.¡± Hazel mumbled.


    ¡°No, it¡¯s alright. I am free at the moment.¡± Meagan pulled off her sandal.


    ¡°Okay. So is everything okay over there? I mean.. with you?¡± Hazel turned on the phone speaker on the alpha¡¯s order.


    ¡°Oh yes.. everything is fine.¡± Meagan¡¯s response was sharp and immediate.


    There was silence on the other side as Hazel thought of the right words to use to bring up the conversation.


    ¡°Meagan, we agreed to not keep secrets and to always tell each other the truth right?¡± Hazel started off.


    Meagan¡¯s heart beat elerated as she hummed a response.


    ¡°Do you have anything to say to me? I just.. I just.. have a feeling that you are hiding something from me.¡± Hazel picked her words carefully.


    Meagan¡¯s small smile faded off. Her mind told her that her best friend¡¯s call wasn¡¯t coincidental but intentional. It wasn¡¯t a feeling but Hazel must have heard something. What if the alpha had spilled everything they did together to Hazel and Julius? She mused.


    Meagan was caught between telling the truth or deny whatever im her best friend might want to bring up.


    ¡°The alpha-¡± Hazel paused as she stole a nce at the alpha.


    Meagan heart skipped beat. Hazel probably knows the truth. ¡°I don¡¯t need to beat the around the bush. Why didn¡¯t you tell me about it?¡± Hazel asked as she waited for a response.


    Meagan chose to admit the truth. ¡°I have no idea there was a connection between you two until few days ago. You shouldn¡¯t have hid it from me.¡± Hazel expressed how hurt she had been to find out the truth from the alpha and not from her trusted friend.


    ¡°I am sorry¡­ Hazel.¡± Meagan apologized.


    ¡°Should I forgive you?¡± Hazel asked.


    ¡°Listen Hazel, I¡¯ll tell you everything. Carl and I met at the Halloween party. That night you were looking for me, I was with him. At first I didn¡¯t know he is the same alpha we talked about. I didn¡¯t know he is the man Brianna likes so much. You didn¡¯t say his name to me so it was hard to tell that they could be the same man. We had something together but I tried to keep my distance when-¡± her voice trailed off as a tear slipped down her cheek.


    ¡°You found out that the warlord is the same alpha you didn¡¯t want to meet and you tried to keep your distance. I know everything now. But I am pissed because you hid such from me.¡± Hazel said as he looked away from the alpha.


    ¡°I am sorry.¡± Meagan apologized.


    ¡°Why are you apologizing?¡± Hazel asked.


    Meagan sniffled. ¡°I didn¡¯t tell you because.. I was scared of what you would think of me. You know.. getting involved with a man I barely know and I just met.¡±


    ¡°Are you having regrets that you slept with my alpha?¡± Hazel questioned.


    Alpha Carl moved closer to hear her response. ¡°No.. I don¡¯t have regrets. But I.. I am just embarrassed about it. What would people say if they found out that I slept with the alpha in the space of two days?¡± More tears streamed down her cheeks.


    Hazel sighed which was clear through the phone. ¡°Look Meagan, you don¡¯t owe anyone an exnation. You had a good time with my alpha so what? It is nobody¡¯s business.¡±


    ¡°It was a fling. I-¡±


    Hazel cut her off. ¡°I understand you. But Meagan, you shouldn¡¯t let it stop you from embracing what you feel for the alpha. You met a great guy and had fun with him. It is no one¡¯s business. Moreover no one will know it is just a fling except you spill it out.¡± She said in a calm tone.


    Alpha Carl Damien was trying to be hopeful. At least Meagan doesn¡¯t have regrets spending time with him.


    ¡°Forgive me, Hazel.¡± Meagan said gently as she wiped her tears.


    ¡°I won¡¯t forgive you because you have been ignoring my alpha¡¯s text messages. Come on Meagan, it is only polite to reply text messages.¡± Hazel scolded her best friend.


    ¡°I am scared.¡± Meagan said after some seconds of silence. ¡°We only agreed to a secret affair but I think the alpha wants something more.¡± Her voice quivered.


    Hazel wasn¡¯t quite sure of what to say to her best friend. ¡°She should give me a chance.¡± Alpha Carl Damien mouthed.


    ¡°Why.. why don¡¯t you try to give him a chance? I mean.. you can set up a meeting with him. And-¡±


    Meagan interrupted her. ¡°No, I don¡¯t want to meet him.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡± Hazel exchanged nced with the alpha. A sad look crossed his features.


    ¡°Alpha Carl is a great and good guy. Even if we decided to have a rtionship it won¡¯t work out.¡± Meagan stated as she tried to blink back more tears.


    ¡°This isn¡¯t about what happened with Max right?¡± Hazel asked.


    ¡°It has nothing to do with Max.¡± Meagan answered.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    ¡°So what?¡± Hazel demanded.


    ¡°He is an alpha and I am just a mere human. If we go into a rtionship, we will both get stuck in it because of our crazy schedules at works.¡± Meagan exined.


    ¡°I know it won¡¯t be easy dating the alpha but if you want things to work out between you two then you have to ept each other¡¯smitment which involves your own job and him running the pack and you can support each other.¡± Hazel retorted.


    ¡°Look Hazel, I don¡¯t want a long distance rtionship. I don¡¯t want to be with the alpha. I am not ready to give up my life to be with him in a pack. I have a lot of ns for the future and it doesn¡¯t involve being a Luna of a werewolf pack. I appreciate you for looking out for me and I am sorry for hiding secrets from you even when we promised to be honest with each other.¡± Meagan admitted hoping her friend would not take offense in her words.


    Alpha Carl Damien closed his eyes as he listened to her words. Meagan has just rejected him in the most polite way.


    There was no reason for Hazel to argue or persuade her best friend because she sounded so resigned in her words. Meagan doesn¡¯t want the alpha and it is final.


    Alpha Carl was tempted to take the phone from Hazel and convince Meagan but he kicked against such impulse.


    ¡°I am sorry, Hazel.¡± She apologized again.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright. I understand you. I¡¯ll respect your decision but try to text the alpha back.¡± Hazel ended the call with a promise to call her some other time.


    ¡°You heard everything she said right?¡± Hazel mumbled.


    ¡°I don¡¯t ept the rejection.¡± Alpha Carl replied.


    ¡°I can tell that Meagan also feels something for you but she doesn¡¯t want to admit it. And I still feel this her refusal is way beyond just crazy schedules.¡± Hazel breathed out heavily.


    ¡°I wish I know what¡¯s going on in her mind. I can¡¯t let her go even if I choose to respect her decision.¡± He replied.


    Alpha Carl Damien¡¯s phone beeped. A message from Meagan.


    ¡°Hello, Alpha Carl. I am sorry for not replying your text messages. I have been quite busy with work at the hospital. I find it ufortable to get a message from you and the fact that you told my best friend about our secret affair. I am not saying that you did wrong but I would have appreciated it if I was the one who informed her about it. We agreed to a secret adventure so let it remain that way. In the history of the wolves, Allison didn¡¯t make an attempt to have an happily ever after with the warlord so we shouldn¡¯t try to change history. I am sorry to say this to you but I don¡¯t want something more with you. And I hope you find someone who would love you the way you desire.¡± Alpha Carl read out the message.


    Hazel leaned back on the couch. ¡°What do we do? She doesn¡¯t want you. So I think we should respect her decision.¡± She sighed.


    A deep frown formed on the alpha¡¯s face. ¡°No, I can¡¯t fail again at a chance to find a mate. I have chosen Meagan because she is the one my wolf wants to be with. I don¡¯t want anyone else.¡± He blurted out.


    ¡°But she doesn¡¯t-¡±


    ¡°She is mine! She¡¯ll be my Luna! She¡¯ll bear my pups! And no is not an option.¡± Alpha Carl gritted as he stormed off to the bedroom. He was determined.


    Meagan would have to ept his proposal to be his mate. The alpha paced the room as he thought of a better way to convince Meagan that things could work out even in their different worlds.


    The alpha knew he has a long way to go just to convince Meagan that there could be a good chance for them to be together in a rtionship.

 EPISODE 62 The alpha鈥檚 seed

    NEW YORK: IN MEAGAN¡¯S HOME


    Tears dropped down her cheeks as she read the text message she had sent to the alpha. Meagan has feelings for the alpha but doesn¡¯t want anyone to know about it. She wasn¡¯t confident enough that she was worthy of the alpha. Her feelings-It had happened so quickly and she doubted if they would ever be happy together. And one things made Meagan decide not to reply the alpha¡¯s text messages.


    FLASHBACK


    After having the discussion about some humans getting married to a wolf and not being able to tell that they are pregnant at the early stage. Meagan thought about the conversation with her colleagues at work as she sat at the back of cab on her way home.


    ¡°I havee to realize that the growth of a werewolf fetus is quite different from the human fetus.¡±


    ¡°The fetus of a werewolf in the first three months is quite slow making it hard for the woman to know she is pregnant.¡±


    ¡°Some women don¡¯t even know they are weeks gone!¡±


    Those words rang ufortably on her mind. She reyed Miss Britney case in her mind. It had taken so long for the young woman to figure out that she was pregnant.


    Subconsciously Meagan counted in her mind how long it had been since shest did her monthly flow. Her heart beat elerated as she switched fingers trying to be sure. Seven weeks was gone, and it never urred to her that she should have kept track on her cycle.


    Meagan tried to tell herself that she can¡¯t possibly be pregnant. She had been really careful using protection each time she had sex with the alpha.


    Meagan closed her eyes to count the number of times they had sex only to feel a clench in her stomach. She remembered the moment in the shower and then the day he had apologized to her for hiding his position.


    ¡°I am.. not pregnant. I can¡¯t be pregnant. Those two times doesn¡¯t mean.. I am pregnant.¡± Meagan chanted in her head. She scolded herself for not even buying contraceptive pills as soon as she got back from the trip.


    ¡°I am not pregnant.¡± Meagan wasn¡¯t sure of her words. She nced out through the window and sat that they just passed by a mini mart. She ordered the driver to pull over for her to buy something.


    Meagan got out of car and rushed into the mini mart to buy a pregnant test kit. Meagan wasn¡¯t the type to pray but  she mumbled prayers on her way home. She hope that the result would be negative.


    Meagan tossed and turn in the bed throughout the night. She was really finding it hard to fall asleep. The rm pinged 5:30 am. Meagan got out of bed quickly and rushed into the bathroom. She tore at the kit and took out the strip. She pee into a small container, dipped the pregnancy test strip into it before she emptied it into the toilet.


    Meagan waited a few minutes with her heart beat running a marathon. She stared down at the strip in the sink, two red lines was so clear on it. And she bursted into tears at the realization that the result was positive.


    She was pregnant. She was indeed carrying the alpha¡¯s seed in her womb.


    FLASH-FORWARD


    Her hand rubbed her stomach gently. A life was growing in her womb. The alpha had texted her a few days after she confirmed it that she was weeks gone. She had thought about calling the alpha up to tell him about it but it wasn¡¯t easy.


    Meagan wasn¡¯t ready to deal with it. And texting him back would push her to say the truth when she had decided to keep her a baby a secret.


    She was scared of the alpha. She didn¡¯t make an attempt to call him up to let him know about the pregnancy because she felt he wouldn¡¯t ept the baby. They had agreed to a secret affair and now she was pregnant.


    What if he concludes that she must have slept with someone else after she had sex with him?


    She was carrying the seed of a man who doesn¡¯t wantmitment. She cried so loud as whirling emotions stirred in her.


    ¡°What have I gotten myself into?¡± A mess. A bigger mess the time. She had slept with a man she barely knew. Not just any man but an alpha. She pondered on how she would tell her family about it.


    Meagan knew her dad would be so disappointed because she was going to have a child out of wedlock and without a father.


    ¡°What have.. you done.. to yourself? Why do you always have to be the different one?¡± Meagan sobbed as she tried to push back any form of regret.


    Her elder sisters pretty had things easy. They met good men, fell in love, got married and have children. Even her younger siblings  have serious marital ns. They are both in a serious rtionship. But she was the only different one.


    Her past rtionship had ended on a sad note. She had a fling with an alpha wolf and now she was pregnant without a ring on her finger.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    ¡°What if he doesn¡¯t want the baby?¡± Meagan bantered with her mind that suggested that it was only fair enough to tell the alpha about it.


    This isn¡¯t how Meagan had expected her life to turn out. She has a lot of ns for the future. ns that she is very much capable of fulfilling in the nearest future.


    Right now, deep down in her heart, she knew all these ns may probably not happen anymore. So Meagan opted in for the option that seemed to be the only way.


    She would keep the baby a secret from her family, her best friend and even the alpha. She isn¡¯t ready to be stuck in a pack that would limit her possibilities of fulfilling her ns.


    ¡°He has too much to deal with already.¡± She sniffed.


    Alpha Carl Damien has too many responsibilities. The member of his pack needs him. They all depend on him to help them. They expect him to take care of them. Every decision he makes is either good or when it is the other way round, he has to deal with the consequences.


    Meagan drew in a shaky breathe as she sniffled. She concluded that she doesn¡¯t need the alpha to know about the baby. She would resign at work to avoid questions like who is the father of her child and she would go somewhere far where no one will ever find her.

 EPISODE 63 The special appearance

    NEW YORK: IN MEAGAN¡¯S HOME


    The time was 7:00 am. Meagan had cried for several minutes until she fell asleep on the couch. She woke up, feeling thirsty and she made her way to the kitchen to grab water.


    Meagan¡¯s gaze caught the pregnancy test strip that she had dropped in the fridge few days ago but she couldn¡¯t remember why it had ended up there. Her hands were shaking when she reached for the bottle of cold water.


    Meagan managed to ce the bottle on her mouth as she gulped down the whole liquid. A sharp pain in the lower part of her belly had her gripping onto the edges of the ind. Meagan knew what was going on? She had researched about female humans carrying werewolf fetus in their wombs.


    She figured that it won¡¯t be easy carrying the baby because the werewolf genre is stronger in the baby since it carries the strong blood of an alpha. She readplications an asthmatic patient might encounter during the cause of carrying the pregnancy and evenbor. And cesarean section was the only rmended option. The safest way to secure both the mother and child.


    The sharp pains she had been feeling since three days ago is the first signs of a werewolf fetus in a human and it would be followed by morning sickness and extreme tiredness.


    Deciding to quit her job was the best way to avoid stressing herself or the baby. She would take care of herself wherever she travelled to.


    Last night, Meagan had embraced this new life she was about to take on. The life of a single mother. It won¡¯t be easy but she is willing to take the risk of having the baby.


    Meagan heard the doorbell jangle and she arched her eyebrows at the sound. Who could be at the door? But she remembered that she had ordered for a new water heater online few days again and it was to be delivered today.


    Meagan drew in a deep breathe as she walked back to the sitting room. She moved to the door and opened it only to have her eyes widened in shock.


    ¡°Meagan.¡± He called her name in a rasp.


    No, he can¡¯t be here right? She is probably hallucinating his presence again. She couldn¡¯t utter a single word but she did what came to her mind.


    Meagan closed the door at his face. ¡°Stop.. day dreaming.¡± She reopened the door again thinking he would have gone.


    But alpha Carl Damien was right there looking at her. ¡°You can¡¯t be here.¡± Meagan tried to close the door again but his booted foot stopped her.


    Their gaze met when she looked up at him after seeing his leather boot at the door. Alpha Carl Damien searched her face. His eyes did a slow crawl on her when she looked away. She was a mess. Her eyes was red and her face was swollen from crying too muchst night.


    ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be here. You should leave now. You-¡± Her voice trailed off when he pushed his way in and closed the door behind with his strong leg.


    Alpha Carl Damien knew she would never let him in even though he asked politely. ¡°Meagan, what¡¯s wrong?¡± He tried to touch her face but she sidestepped him.


    ¡°You better go, alpha Carl.¡± She mumbled. Although she was still surprised that he was in her home. She knew Hazel must have given the alpha her home address.


    ¡°It¡¯s toote. I can¡¯t go back now. I don¡¯t n to go back without us talking things out.¡± Alpha Carl replied.


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing we have to talk about. I already made it clear that I-¡±


    ¡°Have you been crying?¡± Alpha Carl cut off her sentence.


    Meagan turned away. She didn¡¯t expect that he would noticed that she had cried. ¡°No.. no I didn¡¯t cry. I just woke up not too long.¡± She sounded like she doesn¡¯t care that he was here.


    But deep down in her heart, she wanted to bury herself in the solid walls of his chest and cry so much. But Meagan held herself back by folding her arms. She nned to act like his presence here has no significance to her.


    ¡°Meagan, talk to me. Is there something wrong?¡± Alpha Carl asked in a calm tone.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    ¡°I want you to leave.¡± She muttered.


    ¡°I am not going to leave. I am here for a reason so I won¡¯t be leaving until I get what I want.¡± Alpha Carl Damien replied with a serious look on his face.


    Meagan knew one of her fears was slowly crawling into reality. The fear that the alpha is a strong willed wolf and he always get whatever he sets his mind on. She should be happy that there might be a chance that the alpha would want the baby but she doesn¡¯t want to be like his pack members that depend on him to care for them. She doesn¡¯t want to be stuck in a pack. She would stand her ground and not ept whatever the alpha ask of her.


    Before she knew it, alpha Carl had her trapped to his body with one of his hands iming her waist. Meagan didn¡¯t try to wriggle out of the embrace instead she met an eye contact with him. A nk expression with no sign of emotions in her eyes.


    Alpha Carl Damien has so much to say to her but she was making it too difficult. After storming  off into the room to think about how to convince Meagan to agree to be his mate, minutester he had called Hazel over the phone to give him Meagan¡¯s home address.


    The alpha bid them goodbye and asked Beta Julius to take care of the pack while he was away. He had drove out of the packst night to make it to New York as early as possible before Meagan leaves for work.


    This woman was making him do things he had never done before or what he never expected to do in his life. But one thing was certain he wasn¡¯t leaving without her eptance.


    One of his hand reached for her chin as he titled her face to look deeper into her eyes. ¡°Tell me again everything you said in the text message. I want to hear you say it to my face.¡±


    Meagan was trying so hard not to cry so he won¡¯t be so lovely with her. ¡°We agreed to a secret affair not a rtionship or even a life timemitment. I am not ready to date someone like you. I am not ready to spend the rest of my life with anyone.¡± She managed to get the words passed the tightness in her throat. She could feel the spark ring up between them but she choose to ignore it.

 EPISODE 64 His confession

    NEW YORK: IN MEAGAN¡¯S HOME


    This woman was making him do things he had never done before or what he never expected to do in his life. But one thing was certain he wasn¡¯t leaving without her eptance.


    One of his hand reached for her chin as he titled her face to look deeper into her eyes. ¡°Tell me again everything you said in the text message. I want to hear you say it to my face.¡±


    Meagan was trying so hard not to cry so he won¡¯t be so lovely with her. ¡°We agreed to a secret affair not a rtionship or even a life timemitment. I am not ready to date someone like you. I am not ready to spend the rest of my life with anyone.¡± She managed to get the words passed the tightness in her throat. She could feel the spark ring up between them but she choose to ignore it.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be very honest with you today.¡± Alpha Carl Damien let her go and she moved far away from him.


    ¡°I know we didn¡¯t agree to a get into a rtionship or even a life timemitment. A fling you say? But it¡¯s more than that to me now. I haven¡¯t been myself since you left the pack. Believe me, I tried not to think about you but it was hard. In a short while, I have grown fond of you. I want to do better at caring for you because.. I.. I think I have fallen in love with you.¡± Alpha Carl Damien confessed.


    Meagan¡¯s head snapped up to look at him as her mouth dropped wide. The dangerous alpha was in love with her? That¡¯s impossible! The alpha can¡¯t fall in love just like that! He doesn¡¯t want any form ofmitment just a good time like Brianna had said it. So howe he is in love with her?


    Alpha Carl Damien studied her face. It was better. At least the nk expression was now gone.


    ¡°Meagan, I have fallen in love in a short while. I understand why you are surprised and shocked.. it is probably because of my position bute on alphas are permitted to be in love too. And I am a strong fan of love at first sight.. I think that¡¯s what happened between us. I never really want to fall in love again but it happened when I met you. I have strong feelings for you so if you¡¯ll just ept to go on the next level with me.¡± He said calmly.


    Meagan shook her head impatiently. ¡°No Carl. It can¡¯t work. I am sorry. I can¡¯t do what you are asking of me.¡± She declined.


    ¡°Do I need to go on my knees? Tell me what exactly I need to do to get you to agree to be my mate.¡± Alpha Carl Damien blurted out.


    ¡°What?!¡± Meagan gasped out.


    ¡°I am sorry. I don¡¯t mean it to blurt it out that way but I am serious about it.¡± Alpha Carl Damien said.


    ¡°Carl-¡±


    ¡°I have thought about it over and over again. I want it to be you, Meagan.¡± He was nervous but tried to be hopeful this persuasion would end well.


    ¡°I know that your job is very important to you. I know you have so many things to do but it shouldn¡¯t stop us. Look, I can always make it down here every weekend to be with you. I won¡¯t get in your way, I promise.¡± He stopped to hear a response.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    ¡°Sometimes we can¡¯t always get what we desire. Some things are just not meant to be.¡± Meagan mumbled, biting the inside of her cheeks to hold back the tears that threatened to spill.


    Alpha Carl ran his hand through his hair. He wasn¡¯t going to give up just yet. He covered the gap between them. ¡°We are meant to be.¡± He said.


    ¡°No, you are wrong.¡± Meagan countered.


    ¡°If you are scared of being taken advantage of or being used, I am not that type of guy. We don¡¯t have to rush things. We can start with a rtionship to see if it can work out. I am a good guy, Meagan. And I promise to be good to you.¡± He persuaded.


    ¡°I know. I know you are a good guy. But I just don¡¯t see us working out. You are a wolf and an alpha who runs a big pack. I am a human and I have a crazy schedules at the hospital. And -¡±


    ¡°But I just provided a solution to see each other on weekends. If that¡¯s not enough I can always make down here on your off days.¡± He said.


    ¡°And for how long do we have to do that? Someday we will both get tired of the rtionship. We will get frustrated for not having enough time to spend together.¡± Meagan moved away from him.


    This isn¡¯t working. Nothing is working. This woman is too rigid. The alpha is finding it hard to pull down whatever walls she had built around her heart. Meagan doesn¡¯t want him. And what else does he has to say to convince her that things could really work out between them?


    Alpha Carl Damien turned away and ran his hand through his hair in frustration but he wasn¡¯t going to give up. There must be a way to get Meagan to ept him.


    Meagan winced in pains as another wave of pain struck her stomach. No.. not now.. not now that the alpha is here. He would be worried and keep questioning her until she confesses everything to him. She tried to bear the pain but another hit made her groan out loud. She sank onto the couch quickly as her legs gave out on her. If Megan doesn¡¯t sit down then she would end up falling to the ground.


    Alpha Carl Damien went to her immediately. ¡°Are you alright?¡± He demanded with a worried look on his face.


    ¡°Yes.. Yes.. I am alright.¡± Meagan stuttered. No she is definitely not doing okay. She was in pains.


    ¡°Talk to me, Meagan. Are you feeling pain anywhere?¡± The concern and sincere look in his eyes also made tears cloud her vision too but she blinked it back.


    Alpha Carl Damien crouched down in front of her. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± He asked again.


    ¡°Nothing is wrong. Thank you for your concern, Carl. I am -¡± Meagan closed her eyes.


    ¡°Listen Meagan, I care so much about you. I don¡¯t want to see you get hurt in any way. So please t try to open up to me.¡± Alpha Carl said in a calm tone as he reached out to hold her hand.


    Meagan reopened her eyes. ¡°I am on my cycle. So it¡¯s kind of painful.¡± She lied.


    Alpha Carl gave her hand a small squeeze as a sigh of relief escaped from him. It was a relief to him that it wasn¡¯t worst. ¡°Do you have a pain relief drug here? I can help you get it.¡±


    ¡°No.. I don¡¯t have any.. I¡¯ll be fine.¡± Meagan just want to end everything.


    ¡°Look at me, its tears me apart to see you this way. And believe me when I told you that I love you. Meagan, I really do love you more than you think. You don¡¯t need to beg me to love you because I really do love you. So if you will just give me a chance to prove myself to you.¡± Alpha Carl¡¯s tone was gentle as he went on with the confession scheme.


    ¡°I want a family with you and a life time too.¡± He added after she didn¡¯t say anything.


    Alpha Carl doesn¡¯t know that she is carrying his child.


    ¡°Carl-¡± she let go of his hand. ¡°I can¡¯t-¡± she was stopped by a cough.


    ¡°Wait.. I¡¯ll get you water. Where is the kitchen?¡± He stood up.


    Meagan pointed towards the direction of the kitchen and he went ahead. He was also thirsty too.


    All of a sudden Meagan remembered that the pregnancy test kit was in the fridge where he would get the bottle of water.


    ¡°Carl!¡± She coughed and jumped to her feet and rushed into the kitchen.

 EPISODE 65 Beta can take over

    NEW YORK: IN MEAGAN¡¯S HOME


    All of a sudden Meagan remembered that the pregnancy test kit was in the fridge where he would get the bottle of water.


    ¡°Carl!¡± She coughed and jumped to her feet and rushed into the kitchen.


    It was toote to stop alpha Carl Damien because the first thing his eyes caught was the pregnancy test kit. He furrowed his eyebrows as a knowing look registered on his face. He opened it and then saw the strip that indicated two red lines.


    He was stunned by the realization that Meagan could be carrying his child.


    ¡°Carl-¡± Meagan stopped on track when he closed the fridge and she saw the kit in his hand.


    ¡°Meagan..¡± Alpha Carl paused to swallow hard. Perhaps did she run a pregnancy test for someone else? He mused.


    ¡°Are you pregnant?¡± Carl asked in tight whisper.


    The tears that had threatened to spill all this while dropped down her cheeks immediately.


    Alpha Carl looked at the test strip and then back at her. ¡°You are pregnant. You are carrying my child.¡± He sounded so sure that the child was his own when she had been the one to doubt if he would ever believe her.


    Meagan couldn¡¯t hide or lie anymore. She has been caught by him.


    ¡°Say something, Meagan.¡± His voice and eyes pleaded with her. His mind was spinning as he took slow steps towards her.


    ¡°Yes.. I am pregnant.¡± She shook her head.


    ¡°How long have you known about it?¡± Alpha Carl stopped right in front of her. Something in him increased his hope that he could seed in persuading Meagan to be with him.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t realize it until few days ago.¡± She muttered without meeting his gaze.


    ¡°Wait, is it before or after I sent you a text?¡± Alpha Carl asked.


    ¡°I found out few days before you texted me.¡± Meagan answered.


    ¡°But I thought we used protection. So how-¡±


    ¡°In the shower and the day you sneaked into my room. I remember we didn¡¯t use protection.¡± Meagan mumbled.


    Alpha Carl Damien was still looking shocked. He had only visited her to ask her to be his mate but he just found out that she is pregnant. He couldn¡¯t exin how he was feeling at that moment.


    ¡°Perhaps, is this the reason why you didn¡¯t want to meet me? The reason why you don¡¯t want to ept me?¡± He questioned.


    Meagan didn¡¯t look up at him. ¡°I don¡¯t want to be a burden to you. I just thought that you might doubt me and.. and you already have too much to handle at the pack.¡± She cried.


    ¡°You can never be a burden to me. Meagan, I understand you are scared. I know you have a lot doing here too and like I said I won¡¯t disturb you. But now that you are carrying my child, I can move in here with you while Julius handles the pack. I¡¯ll care of you until you are rest assured that I am indeed the one for you.¡± Alpha Carl Damien continued on his persuasive scheme.


    Meagan¡¯s head snapped up to look at the alpha. She thought she heard him wrongly. Isn¡¯t the alpha supposed to be in the pack always?


    ¡°I trust Beta Julius enough to run the pack on my absence.¡± Alpha Carl Damien added as if he had read her mind.


    More tears flowed from her eyes as realization hit her straight in the face. Alpha Carl Damien was offering to move away from his pack just to be with her? He was willing to walk away from his own life so she could be reassured that he would be by her side.


    ¡°Carl, aren¡¯t.. you suppose to be at the pack to take care of your members?¡± Meagan asked.


    Carl stepped closer to her. ¡°Listen Meagan, I am not abandoning my position as the alpha to be with you. My responsibility remains and loyalty to the pack is unshaken but what¡¯s an alpha without a Luna? If I have to leave the pack for a while to find my mate then I must do it.¡± He said with a small smile on his face.


    The look on her face gave him a glint of hope that she might eventually sumb to him.


    ¡°Carl.. you are offering too much just to be with me. I-¡±


    He interrupted her. ¡°You are important to me. You and the baby. Meagan, you don¡¯t expect me to stand back or walk away after finding out that you are carrying my child. Look, we don¡¯t have to rush. And like I said, I can stay here till you make a decision.¡± He gave her hand a small squeeze.


    They still have plenty of time to decide things. Alpha Carl¡¯s mind was made up, he would stay around to convince Meagan that they truly belong together. He knew assurance was all Meagan needed toe out of darkness. An assurance that he could be a shoulder to lean on would convince her to break down those walls around her heart.


    ¡°Listen, I¡¯ll give you enough time to think about it.¡± Carl said expecting her to say something too.


    Enough time? Meagan thought. But she doesn¡¯t need plenty of time to think about anything. Maybe this is fate telling her something.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Alpha Carl Damien tilted her face so he could look straight into her eyes. ¡°Meagan, if you are still bent on rejecting me then I won¡¯t have any choice than to bring in my pack members toe plead on my behalf.¡± He thought he saw a smile on her face or maybe he had imagined it in his head.


    And instead of Meagan to say a word to him, she stepped closer and embraced him. She doesn¡¯t need all the time in the world to think about it. If alpha Carl Damien was willing to stay away from his pack to be with her then she could also give courting him a chance. If she had made a decision to run away from the life she had set up for herself here then she can as well run into moon stone pack. She didn¡¯t expect that the alpha could make such offer but it had managed to convince her that he loves her and meant everything he said.


    ¡°I am sorry for not telling you about the baby. I had every chance to let you know about it but I made a decision to move far away and raise the child alone because I don¡¯t want to be a burden to you. I decided to quit my job and be where no one would ever find me.¡± Meagan said in a calm tone as she managed to blink back more tears.

 EPISODE 66 Her mapped out plans

    NEW YORK: IN MEAGAN¡¯S HOME


    Alpha Carl Damien was surprised to hear the decision she had made. What if he hadn¡¯t decide toe and find her? Then she would have left without a word to anyone or even leaving behind traces that could help find her. Meagan was walking away from her life.


    ¡°I am a wolf.. an alpha to a pack and it is only normal to have so many responsibilities which I have epted. But Meagan, don¡¯t ever think that you would be a burden to me. And like I said if you don¡¯t feelfortable moving into the pack, we can be here or better still get a bigger space and be together till you havee to a conclusion.¡± Alpha Carl replied.


    He wasn¡¯t going to make the same mistake again-the mistake of losing a mate. This has to work out this time. He was trying to make sure that Meagan doesn¡¯t have to give up everything for him. He wasn¡¯t going to lose Meagan the way he had lost Madison.


    ¡°Don¡¯t make it sound so easy. The pack and it¡¯s members needs you more than I do. And it would be selfish of me to keep you here.¡± Meagan paused to catch her breathe as she was still trapped between his arms with her head resting on his solid chest.


    ¡°Meagan, I am trying to make sure that my responsibilities to the pack doesn¡¯t scare you away from me. I want this to go well.¡± Alpha Carl whispered.


    ¡°If I ept you then I have to embrace the pack too. And as a Luna, it is my obligation to protect the pack and its members.¡± Meagan stopped again but this time she waited for his reaction to her words.


    Alpha Carl was confused. He pulled away and searched her face. ¡°Meagan.. you just said as a Luna it is my obligation.. no your obligation to protect the pack and its members. Is.. is that a yes?¡± He asked.


    ¡°I am willing to make a change in my ns.¡± Meagan replied.


    His stomach twitched at her words. ¡°Are you saying that.. you have epted to be my mate?¡± He asked again to be sure of her response.


    ¡°What else do I need to say? How do I need to say it? A yes? I already said that I am willing to make a change in my ns.. for things to work out between us.¡± Meagan answered.


    An endearing smile broke out on his face. Alpha Carl had hope for things to go well but he didn¡¯t expect her response would be too soon.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t if I am a human and you are wolf. I have seen our kindsing together to make a great bond. Carl, I really appreciate that you are willing to make sacrifices to make things work out but let me be the one making the sacrifices this time.¡± Meagan said in a tighter whisper.


    Alpha Carl reached out for her face and his fingers caressed her cheeks. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.. where I am.. I can always do better.¡± Meagan sniffled as tears clouded her vision again.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Meagan wanted to relieve him of his responsibilities this time. Alpha Carl knew she was stepping into make the sacrifices just to make things work out for them. All his life, he has always been the one making the most sacrifices, he has always been the one to give up his desires, to give everything just to make others happy andfortable.


    ¡°Carl, I have a mapped out n for my life but I have..¡± Her voice broke off as tears streamed down her face.


    ¡°But I havee to realize that I can make it happen anywhere.. and it doesn¡¯t have to be in New York.¡± Shepleted her intended statement.


    Alpha Carl wiped her tears with his fingers tips as he nodded in agreement to her words. ¡°Yes, you can practice your profession in the pack infirmary.¡± He hugged her. ¡°I can set up a pool right in front of our home and I can afford the most expensive car and every other things if that¡¯s what you mean by a mapped out n.¡± He purred into her ears as his hands dropped down to her waist.


    Meagan lifted her head from his chest to look up at him. A smirk was disyed on his lips. ¡°Hazel told you about my ns?¡± She arched her eyebrows.


    ¡°Yeah.. she did after I threatened to rip off her head.¡± Alpha Carl replied.


    ¡°A taste of her own medicine huh?¡± A smile crawl on her face.


    Alpha Carl Damien chuckled at her words. He gestured to her to lean back on his chest. ¡°I am the happiest man on earth today. I thought you weren¡¯t going to ept me but I was pretty determined. I have a strong willed wolf and I said to myself, I am not going anywhere until she says yes to me.¡±  He paused.


    ¡°You have given me a good reason to say yes to your proposal.¡± Meagan replied.


    ¡°I should have prepared better. Why didn¡¯t I bring a ring along with me if I was expecting good result toe out of my proposal?¡± Alpha Carl scolded himself.


    Meagan giggled. ¡°Is it toote?¡± He asked.


    ¡°No, it is not toote. We still have enough time to buy an engagement ring.¡±  She answered.


    The mention of an engagement ring made his stomach clench in excitement. He pulled her away from him.


    ¡°We still have time.¡± Alpha Carl agreed as he held her hands.


    Meagan nodded in agreement. ¡°Thank you for epting me.¡± Alpha Carl leaned in and ced a kiss on her forehead. ¡°We can do this. I mean us being mates.¡± He said.


    Meagan shook her head slowly. ¡°Yes we can do it.¡± She replied.


    They were both convinced that mating each other could really work out between them. Meagan clung onto him and leaned up on her toes to ce a kiss on his lips quickly.


    ¡°Mates always share a kiss after eptance right?¡± She mumbled.


    Alpha Carl Damien let out a low growl. His wolf did that as it was jumping around in excitement within its owner.


    ¡°Yes, mates do share a kiss after eptance but not this one you just did.¡± He replied looking straight into her eyes.


    Alpha Carl was almost losing his control as his gaze dropped to her lips.  ¡°I missed you so much.¡± He admitted.


    ¡°Likewise.¡± She responded.


    And then he pressed his lips on hers pulling her closer to his body. Meagan wrapped her arms around his neck lifting her mouth up so he could explore it. He lifted her until she was position on the kitchen¡¯s ind. And they were there, kissing, sucking, biting until their lips was swollen. Meagan pulled away to catch her breathe as Carl ced his forehead on hers. Damn! He had missed doing this with her.


    ¡°I love you, Meagan Swift.¡± Alpha Carl Damien confessed.


    Thest words to make her believe he was ready to go on this life time journey with her.

    And then he pressed his lips on hers pulling her closer to his body. Meagan wrapped her arms around his neck lifting her mouth up so he could explore it. He lifted her until she was position on the kitchen¡¯s ind. And they were there, kissing, sucking, biting until their lips was swollen. Meagan pulled away to catch her breathe as Carl ced his forehead on hers. Damn! He had missed doing this with her.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    ¡°I love you, Meagan Swift.¡± Alpha Carl Damien confessed. Thest words to make her believe he was ready to go on this life time journey with her.


    The three words felt strange in her ears. Max never said it to her when they were together but she had been the one to always say it to him. Meagan knew she didn¡¯t have to beg this man to love and value her. And it was starting to look like destiny already had everything programmed for them.


    ¡°I love you, alpha Carl Damien.¡± Meagan admitted. It sounded somewhat right in her mouth.


    No doubt this man was indeed her soulmate. Meagan waited for him to say something after her big confession but he didn¡¯t say a word. Alpha Carl didn¡¯t have anything else to say and instead, he lowered his mouth on hers in a kiss that was so hot, passionate, sweet and it took her immediately to the first time they had shared a kiss in his apartment after the dance.


    Alpha Carl pushed himself closer as his hands were around her body to her guide her from falling. He pressed gentle kisses on her lips over and over again until Meagan¡¯s body began to ache for his touch and attention.


    And without wasting much time, Meagan slide her hands up his back, tangled them in his hair and brought his mouth closer to deepen the kiss. It was enough for the alpha to let a growl reverberate from his throat. He wanted them to go on kissing forever. Meagan opened up fully and gave herself to him the way she had done so many times.


    Alpha Carl sensed her approval to move further than just kissing. He lifted her and she had her legs wrapped around him. ¡°Where is your bedroom?¡± He asked amidst hot kisses.


    Meagan moaned, arched her back and pressed herself more tightly to his body in an effort to give her aching system some relief. She just wanted him to touch every part of her body.


    Alpha Carl wrestled his mouth away from Meagan¡¯s. ¡°The bedroom.¡± He repeated.


    ¡°This way..¡± Meagan giggled and pointed at the door and she led him into her bedroom.


    The moment alpha Carl opened the bedroom door, Meagan made her move on him. She pulled his top over his head and removed hers too. The contact made her body hotter and it made her want more of him. He unhooked her bra and her nipples ached so badly. She wanted the alpha to touch her there. The desperate need for his touch was making her lose her mind.


    ¡°I want you.. I want to feel you inside me. Fuck me Carl.¡± She said in a tight whisper.


    Her seductive words shot through him. These words made him harder and he groaned. Alpha Carl pinched the tip of one of her nipples as he dropped her gently.


    ¡°Is it safe to have sex? I mean with the baby in you?¡± He asked.


    ¡°It is safe for the baby.¡± She answered.


    The alpha is just trying to be careful. ¡°You have no idea how I dream of this day every time Iy in bed to sleep.¡± He lowered his mouth on hers, kissing her gently.


    His hand travelled into her pajamas, she spread her legs until a finger was pressed on her clit. Carl could feel the wetness as he went deeper between her folds. Meagan let out a soft moan and leaned on the wall for support so he could have his way into her.


    Alpha Carl pulled back, slid off the the material leaving her in her panties and he went down on his kneels. He positioned himself between her widely spread thighs and he looked up at her with endearment in his eyes.


    ¡°I¡¯ll make you scream out my name.¡± He breathed on her sex as he raised one of her legs up.


    Meagan shuddered at the thought of his lips on her center. The look in his eyes made her breath caught in her throat. Alpha Carl stayed where he was and watched her close her eyes. He licked his lips as if he was preparing for a feast.


    Meagan was going crazy as she waited for him to touch her. ¡°Why are you-¡± Her words was cut off by a moan when his mouth came down and blew air on her clit.


    He ran his fingers along her folds just barely touching her but trying to tease her. Meagan let out a shaky breathe as she stroke her fingers in his hair. Her eyes shut and she urged him to continue.


    Alpha Carl was close to losing himself but he was under control. This was their first time together after so many weeks so he wanted to make it special.


    ¡°You are so beautiful, Meagan.¡± He mumbled.


    The naked sight of her was taking his breathe away. He ripped off her panties and stroke his tongue on her clit. Meagan moaned, her eyes going wide as one long finger entered her core.


    Alpha Carl pulled out and repeated the action but this time it was two fingers in her. He locked their gaze as he fingered her. Meagan clutched at his hair before throwing her head back and her eyes half closed. Her body was trembling with each breathe that she took.


    Alpha Carl thrusted his fingers between her legs as his tongue licked up her wetness. Meagan grabbed his shoulder to steady herself because she wasn¡¯t sure how long her legs could hold her.


    ¡°Carl.. oh-¡± she moaned.


    The Alpha loved the smell of her arousal and he couldn¡¯t resist stroking his finger deeper into her core. A constant stream of moans from her filled the air as he licked, sucked and explored every inch of her.


    ¡°You taste so good.¡± Alpha Carl licked up her wetness.


    Meagan was trembling, her legs failing her as she reached the edge. The alpha was set to drive her out of her mind. Carl stood up, held her in ce and captured her mouth. He loved kissing this woman. He could go on kissing her for hours because the soft sounds always end to tip him off the edge. He stroked his tongue across the seam of her lips as he drew her lower lips between his teeth and sucked it firmly. He didn¡¯t let go, he didn¡¯t stop kissing her as he lost control.


    Alpha Carl pressed her to the wall, curled his tongue on her nipples, sucked them until she was crying out in desperation. She wanted him to do anything with her body.


    ¡°Please.. Carl..¡± Meagan begged.


    Alpha Carl pulled away. ¡°How do you want it?¡± He coaxed.


    Her body was screaming and her heart beat so fast as tension built inside her. ¡°Right here and there.¡± She pointed at the mirror as a flush crept up on her cheeks.

 EPISODE 68 Sex in the mirror

    MEAGAN SWIFT HOME


    Alpha Carl pressed her to the wall, curled his tongue on her nipples, sucked them until she was crying out in desperation. She wanted him to do anything with her body.


    ¡°Please.. Carl..¡± Meagan begged.


    Alpha Carl pulled away. ¡°How do you want it?¡± He coaxed.


    Her body was screaming and her heart beat so fast as tension built inside her. ¡°Right here and there.¡± She pointed at the mirror as a flush crept up on her cheeks.


    Carl smirked. ¡°You want to watch me fuck you.¡± He stroke his thumb across her swollen lips.


    ¡°It¡¯s a fantasy I have always wanted to try.¡± Meagan giggled.


    Alpha Carl pulled off his jeans without saying a word. His cock sprung free after he pulled off his boxer. He stroked his hand over his cock as she raised her leg up so he could have his way. ¡°We shouldn¡¯t live in fantasy anymore.¡± He said. She clutched onto Carl as he began to thrust inside her and she moaned at the feel of him.


    Carl made her wrap her arms and legs tightly around him as he rode her. He gasped as Meagan lifted herself against him as she wanted him to pound deeper into her with every ounce of strength that he has. But the alpha was scared of hurting her and the baby.


    He pulled back slowly trying to be gentle as possible but Meagan would have none of it. She tightened her legs around his waist so that he could move in deeper.


    ¡°Fuck! Go on Carl! We are fine!¡± She dug her nails into his back.


    Alpha Carl groaned deeply as he picked up a hard and quick thrust that caused her to scream in pleasure.


    ¡°Yes Carl! Yes.. oh.. fuck!¡± He pinned her hands up above her head and watched as he thruster into her deeply.


    Alpha Carl got lost in the process of watching pleasure wash over her. Meagan called out his name as he rode them to climax. His deep thrusts made her inner walls clench as a wave of high climax washed over her.


    ¡°Damn!¡± He purred into her ears as he held her in ce. He thrusted in onest time, release tore through him. Spreading through his whole body.


    Alpha Carl kissed Meagan and got lost in the sweet taste of her. He didn¡¯t know how long they hadsted in this love making and passionate kisses.


    ¡°That was fucking good.¡± He let her slid off him.


    Meaganughed as she reached out to stroke his still erected shaft. ¡°But we are not done yet.¡± She pressed kisses to his chest.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the baby won¡¯t get hurt.¡± She added.


    ¡°I am only trusting your words because you are a medical doctor.¡± Alpha Carl chuckled.


    Meagan held his hand and led him towards therge standing mirror in the room. They both stood und in front of it until Meagan turned to look at him.


    ¡°Have you tried this before?¡± She asked.


    ¡°No. But I bet it would be fun to watch me fuck you from behind.¡± His hand reached out to pull her closer to his body but she side stepped him.


    ¡°Not too soon.. Carl.¡± She giggled.


    Alpha Carl furrowed his eyebrows. ¡°Are you trying to tease me?¡±


    Meagan went on her knees and reached for his hard shaft. Carl jerked and groaned when she robbed her hand against him and he didn¡¯t stop her. She stroked the tip of his shaft with her thumb and cupped him in her palm.


    Alpha Carl began to thrust into her cupped palm, loving the heat of him between her palm. He also loved this dark sexual and romantic side of this woman.


    Unable to resist his erected shaft, Meagan leaned forward and licked the tip of him. The alpha jerked in response and his hand grabbed her hair so she could take him in deeper into her throat.


    ¡°It is nice to watch you blow me in front of a mirror.¡± His voice was dark and dangerous.


    Meagan was getting wetter and she could feel her wetness dripped in between her legs although he wasn¡¯t even touching her.


    For weeks, she had dreamed of the alpha touching her, holding her and fucking her right here. She would wake up clutching the pillow at the memories of their love making. But it wasn¡¯t a dream anymore. The secret adventure has ended and they could explore each other for a long time and any time.


    Alpha Carl made a growling sound in his throat as she sucked his shaft. He was close to making another a release but he stopped her. Meagan stood up and started to protest but he silenced her with a kiss.


    ¡°I¡¯ll do it inside of you.¡± He bit on her lower lip causing her to moan softly.


    Meagan stroked him onest time before letting him go. In a swift movement, Carl had her turned towards the mirror. She gasped and pressed her ass on his shaft. He reached down to touch her sex that was dripping wetness. He slid in a finger and brought it to her lips.


    He watched her rock him and lick his fingers seductively. She was driving him insane with her sexual prowess. He took his time to kiss her, savor her mouth as his finger worked on her sensitive spot.


    Carl pulled away and turned her head towards the mirror. ¡°This is what you want.. and I want it too. So bend over.¡± He coaxed and pushed her gently to bend over while her ass pushed back to his erected shaft.


    ¡°We are going to enjoy this.¡± He purred into her ears.


    Meagan trembled as he ran his hand down her spine as his other free hand gathered her hair. She kept her head up and arched her back as he thrust into her wet core.


    Alpha Carl fucked her slowly as he watched her in the mirror. She stared at him with wide eyes in the mirror as their gaze locked intently. He spanked her ass when she tried to close her eyes.


    ¡°Keep looking into my eyes as I fuck you.¡± He ordered.


    ¡°Yes alpha.¡± Meagan giggled because she liked the sound of the predatory side of the alpha.


    ¡°You are going too slow.¡± Sheined after two minutes of slow thrusts.


    ¡°Don¡¯t test me, Meagan.¡± He groaned.


    But Meagan wanted to test him so she pushed herself deeper into his shaft trying to quicken the slow pace.


    ¡°Is that how you want it?¡± He looked straight into her eyes as he stopped the movement.


    Meagan moved forward and leaned her hands on the wooden mirror. ¡°More than you can ever imagine, Ca-¡± He mmed his whole hard length into her core causing her to scream out his namepletely.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    ¡°Carl!¡± He fastened his pace, his stroke bing harder and deeper until he was hitting her g-spot.


    ¡°Oh yes! Yes! Yes! Right there! Fuck! Carl!¡± She kept the eye contact even as one of her hand reached down to rub her clit.


    Tension and pleasure built in her as the alpha was in full control. He released growling sounds as he thrusted in faster and harder. Meagan was close, he kept a tight grip on her hair as tears clouded her vision. She was feeling the pleasure and pain but she didn¡¯t want this moment to end.


    Meagan could feel her legs trembling as she cried out and bucked almost violently against him after some minutes of wild strokes in her. ¡°I am close!¡±


    Carl also lost every ounce of control in him as he mmed into her core harder and harder and he let out a deep groan. He shuddered as he came shockingly hard inside her after her own release.


    ¡°Oh.. this is perfect.¡± He pulled out and gave them time to breathe in and out.


    Meagan was still a shaking mess when he carried her to the bed and he crumbled down next to her. She couldn¡¯t say a word due to exhaustion.


    ¡°Are you okay? Did you get hurt?¡± He asked when he saw the tears slip down her cheeks. He was worried.


    Meagan nodded her head. She didn¡¯t get hurt. She was crying because she was happy. And one thing was certain, she wanted to spend the rest of her live loving this manying next to her.


    Meagan shed him a small smile as she snuggled closer and rested her head on his chest. ¡°I am fine.¡± She muttered.


    Alpha Carl ced a kiss in her hair before he pulled the bed covers over their naked bodies.

 EPISODE 69 Mrs Gabriella Damien

    MEAGAN SWIFT HOME


    Alpha Carl Damien woke up to a beeping sound from the rm clock next to the bed. He grumbled some profanity before trying to reach out his hand to turn it off but it didn¡¯t work out. Meagan¡¯s weight was on him as she was still snuggling close to him with her arms and legs wrapped around his body.


    Alpha Carl wondered what the time was as he detached himself from Meagan who stirred in her sleep but soon settled back to sleep peacefully. He was surprised to see the time-4:00 p. m.


    They had slept for more than eight hours. It has been so long since he had such a good sleep. Seeing that Meagan didn¡¯t step out of bed while he was asleep only means that it¡¯s her day off at work. Alpha Carl concluded as he threw the bed sheet away from his body and crawled out of the bed. He was starving. And Carl decided to have a bathe before going to Meagan¡¯s little kitchen to prepare dinner before she wakes up too.


    After doing his thing in the bathroom, he went through Meagan¡¯s closet and found some male T-shirt and short that sized him but he couldn¡¯t help but wondered who owns them. Max? He thought. But he shrugged off the feeling as he made his way to the kitchen.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    Alpha Carl stopped on getting to the entrance when he heard his cellphone ringtone. He motioned towards the living room to get his phone on the couch. He remembered leaving it there while he was trying to persuade Meagan to be his mate but all that was over now.


    Alpha Carl saw some missed calls from Hazel and Julius. They must have called to ask him about Meagan¡¯s response to his proposal. But this time his mom was calling him.


    ¡°Hello mom.¡± He said after picking up the call.


    ¡°Hi Carl, how have you been?¡± His mother¡¯s sweet voice sounded over the phone.


    ¡°I am good. What about you?¡± He asked.


    ¡°I am better. You didn¡¯t answer your uncle¡¯s callsst night. He¡¯s so worried about you.¡± She said.


    ¡°Oh.. I was busy. But I nned to call himter today and also talk to you too.¡± He answered.


    ¡°But why not call him now?¡± She demanded.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry mom, I¡¯ll give him a call.¡± That¡¯s all he could say.


    Mrs Gabrie Damien heaved a loud sigh over the phone. ¡°Well.. I am calling about ourst discussion. You haven¡¯t said anything about finding another mate and getting married. Carl, you are not growing younger. At this age, you should think of starting your own family. And most importantly, you need a heir that would take over the pack when you are too old to think about the pack.¡±


    Alpha Carl Damien knew she was going to talk about him finding a mate and getting married and having pups. That has been her only lecture for quite sometime now. And he knew his mother was going to have a million questions about Meagan if he spilled it that he already found a mate.


    ¡°Is silence all I¡¯ll get this time?¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien asked.


    ¡°Carl-¡±


    ¡°I found someone.¡± Carl interrupted her. He was ready to deal with it and answer any of her questions.


    ¡°What? You found someone?¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien questioned.


    ¡°Yes mom.¡± Carl answered.


    ¡°Listen Carl, at this point you don¡¯t need someone.. not just anyone. You need a mate. A wolf who is ready to be your Luna and bear your pups! Not some damn career woman like Madison!¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien scolded her son in a raised tone.


    Alpha Carl Damien rolled his eyes at his mother¡¯s words. He was expecting such response from her.


    For some reasons, Mrs Gabrie Damien never liked Madison. She felt Madison doesn¡¯t love Carl like she imed and she is only interested in being in his life for his money.  Mrs Damien had even warned her son about Madison on the first day she met her. She was happy and mad at the same time when she heard that Madison chose her career over being a Luna. And sheforted her son by telling him that they weren¡¯t meant to be in the first ce.


    Mrs Gabrie Damien doesn¡¯t live in the pack anymore. After the death of her mate, she had moved out of the pack to reside in her family home. But some monthster, Carl had bought her a house by the sea side. It was her desire since she was young but she couldn¡¯t get one because she had to live her whole life in the pack as a Luna.


    Mrs Gabrie Damien was a devoted Luna who has contributed greatly to the development of moon stone pack. Despite living far away, she stilles around to check on her son and sometimes tutor the young wolves on how to live a good and disciplined life.


    ¡°Mom, I have a mate now.¡± Carl emphasized loudly with excitement in his tone.


    ¡°Oh really?! Wait, are you trying to lie to me just to stop my nagging? If I find out it¡¯s not true, I am going to set you up on a blind date with the young women around here.¡± She said in a stern tone.


    ¡°Come on mom. I am not trying to y games here. Believe me, I have someone.. no.. a mate.¡± The response Carl got was silence until he called at his mother.


    ¡°Who is she?¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien asked.


    ¡°Her name is Meagan Swift.¡± Carl answered.


    ¡°I see. And what does she do for a living?¡± She asked again.


    ¡°Meagan is a medical doctor and she is a human. She-¡±


    ¡°A doctor? A human? Why did you decide to make such a person your mate? Listen, I know her profession sounds notable unlike some skinny girl walking half naked on tforms but she is a human! Would she be willing to let go of her normal life to spend the rest of her life in a pack?! And how long have you known her?!¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien demanded.


    Carl let out a sigh. ¡°Come on mom. I know you are worried about me but please can you stop bringing up Madison? I am simply trying to move on from my past but each time we have a discussion you always seem to remind me of her. And being a career woman is really not a bad thing like you are painting it. So let¡¯s just take it that Madison and I weren¡¯t meant to be.¡± His voice pleaded with him mom.


    Alpha Carl knew if he didn¡¯t voice out his opinion then his mom would definitely bring up Madison if she finally gets to meet Meagan.


    ¡°Alright. But I am not making a promise that I won¡¯t talk about her anymore. You should have listened to me when I warned you about her.¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien replied.


    Alpha Carl sighed in frustration. His mom would definitely keep on talking about his ex-girlfriend.

 EPISODE 70 A soon to be grandma

    MEAGAN SWIFT HOME


    Alpha Carl sighed in frustration. His mom would definitely keep on talking about his ex girlfriend until he grows gray hairs.


    ¡°So tell me about Meagan. How long have you known her?¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien asked.


    ¡°Seven.. no.. I think eight weeks now.¡± Carl stuttered.


    ¡°You are not even sure. Carl, are you even ready for this mating?¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien asked again.


    ¡°Mom please. Can you let me answer one question before you bring up another one?¡± Carl rubbed his temples as he made his way towards the kitchen.


    ¡°Well.. I supposed you should have prepared a story to tell me about your newly found mate.¡± Mrs Gabrie retorted.


    ¡°I do. But only if you will let me talk without asking a question.¡± Carl replied.


    Mrs Gabrie Damien could be tough, cold and unemotional but she surely cares a whole lot about her son. And sometimes, she doesn¡¯t seem to agree with her son which always lead to them arguing a lot but she loves him so much.


    ¡°Okay. Tell me about her.¡± She spoke up after some seconds of silence.


    ¡°Like I said, her name is Meagan Swift. She is a medical doctor and a human. You don¡¯t have any problem with my mate being a human right?¡± He asked.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care. I don¡¯t have a problem with it if you have figured things out with her.¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien responded.


    ¡°We met at thest full wolf moon celebration. And she is Hazel¡¯s best friend.¡± He recounted how he had met Meagan and why he is out of the pack to convince her to be his mate.


    ¡°You think she is the right woman for you?¡± She demanded.


    ¡°Yes mom. Meagan said yes to my proposal. She is willing to let go of her normal life as a human to be with me at the pack. I expected good result when I set out to meet her in town but I didn¡¯t think she would make such a sacrifice. My wolf also seems to be at peace which means it wants her too. No doubt, I have made the right choice.¡± Alpha Carl sounded excited over the phone and his mom could see it.


    He wanted to hear her opinion about Meagan before sharing the great news. He would definitely lose his patience if his mother decided to y high and mighty and doesn¡¯t approve of him to mate Meagan.


    Mrs Gabrie Damien was silent and for a second alpha Carl¡¯s heart beat faster. But then she spoke up when he was about to say more nice things about his mate.


    ¡°Well.. I think I already like the woman you have chosen to be your mate.¡±


    Alpha Carl couldn¡¯t hold back the sigh of relief that escaped through his nostrils. ¡°Really?¡± He muttered.


    Mrs Gabrie sighed. ¡°Yes. I can sense how happy you are at the moment. It must have been hard for her to make such a sacrifice. And I am happy to hear that you found someone like her.¡± Her voice dripped happiness.


    ¡°Well that¡¯s not all. There is one more thing you must know.¡± Alpha Carl smiled as his gaze flickered on the pregnancy kit on the kitchen ind.


    ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± She demanded.


    ¡°Meagan is pregnant.¡± He replied.


    ¡°What?!¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien gasped out. It was obvious that she was shocked by the revtion.


    ¡°Yes. I found out that she is some weeks gone. I am going to be a father!¡± Alpha  Carl chuckled.


    ¡°Oh my goodness.. I am..¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien voice trailed off.


    ¡°You are going to be a grandma soon!¡± Alpha Carlpleted her intended sentence.


    There was a long silence on the other end of the phone so long that he pulled the phone away from his ear to make sure his mom hadn¡¯t hung up on him. But soon he heard her sniffling over the phone.


    ¡°Mom, are you crying?¡± He whispered.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    ¡°No.. no.. I am fine. I am-¡± her voice broke off again.


    Alpha Carl knew he had reached his mom in a way she never expected. This tough and strong woman was in shock because she can¡¯t believe that her son was going to be a father soon and she would be a grandma. It was like a dreame true for her.


    ¡°I am so happy right now.¡± She sniffled.


    ¡°I am the happiest man on earth. I feel so much at peace. I even had an eight hours sleep today.¡± Alpha Carl picked up the pregnancy test kit.


    Mrs Gabrie Damien cleared her throat. ¡°When am I going to meet Meagan? Are you bringing her to the pack before the week runs out?¡± She questioned frantically.


    ¡°I am taking things slowly.. one step at a time. I just asked her to be my mate today without a ring. I need to arrange a proper proposal.¡± Alpha Carl dropped the kit back on the ind.


    ¡°Listen to me, you don¡¯t have to take things slow because she is pregnant. Buy her a ring, meet with her parents while you are in town and agree on a date for the wedding. It has to be done before the baby bump bes too obvious.¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien advised.


    Alpha Carl Damien didn¡¯t want to move too quickly on Meagan but his mother was right. So he concluded that he would talk to Meagan about meeting her family.


    ¡°Do you understand what I am trying to say?¡± She asked.


    ¡°Yes mom. I¡¯ll talk to Meagan about it.¡± He replied.


    ¡°Let me know about your ns after having the discussion with her. I need to make my arrangement of visiting the pack to see her.¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien said.


    ¡°Perhaps, is this enough reason to move back into the pack?¡± Alpha Carl asked.


    ¡°I think.. this is enough reason. I have to be around to take care of your mate and nurse your pup for a few months.¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien responded.


    Alpha Carl chuckled. ¡°I¡¯ll see you soon, Mrs Gabrie Damien.¡± His mother giggled and hummed a response before she disconnected the call.


    Alpha Carl opened the cupboard to take out some utensils. He skimmed through his cellphone contemting on calling his beta or his wife. This news would definitely make them happy.


    He opened his WhatsApp and took a picture of the test kit. ¡°She said yes and we are bing parents soon too.¡± He typed and sent it to Julius and Hazel.


    Alpha Carl dropped the cellphone on the ind and set to prepared dinner before Meagan wakes up. She must be really tired.


    A smile crossed his face as his mind drifted back to their love making.

 EPISODE 71 The jealous alpha

    MEAGAN SWIFT HOME


    Few hourster, Meagan woke up. She was still sleepy, satisfied and more than in love with the alpha. A small smile crept on her face as she reached across the bed to where she expected the alpha to be only to find the space empty.


    Slowly, she opened her eyes and looked around the room to meet absolute silence. The alpha was probably in the bathroom or somewhere in the apartment.


    Meagan rolled over and she stretched out her slightly sore muscles. She reached for the pillow the alpha had used, buried her face in it and sniffed in the scent of him. Meagan was excited that she would always wake up beside the alpha for the rest of her life.


    The thought of it had her sitting up in bed with a bright smile on her expression. The way the alpha held her, the way he had let her wrap herself around him and slept with her head pressed to his heart. It meant so much to her.


    Meagan reached for a band on the bed side drawer and she packed up her hair and rolled it in a bun. She crawled out of the bed, made a quick trip to the bathroom and she put on a leggings and top.


    Meagan motioned out of the room to look for the alpha. She had hoped to find him in the living room watching tv but he wasn¡¯t there. She motioned towards the kitchen and was greeted by delicious aromas. She stopped at the entrance only to see Carl moving around in the small kitchen and food on the ind.


    Meagan cleared her throat. ¡°You prepared dinner?¡±


    Alpha Carl stopped to look at her and she was surprised to see the clothes on his body. ¡°You are awake. Did you have a good sleep?¡± He noticed she wasn¡¯t look at his face anymore but the clothes.


    ¡°Yes.. I did. Time has gone by too fast. And it is a good thing I am off work today.¡± Meagan replied as she walked into the kitchen.


    ¡°I am sorry for running through your closet. I didn¡¯t bring a spare clothing with me so I-¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Meagan interrupted him.


    ¡°Are these Max clothing?¡± Alpha Carl blurted out when she didn¡¯t stop looking at his body.  And their gaze locked when Meagan¡¯s head snapped up to look at him.


    ¡°No! I bought them at the mall when my brother came visiting but it was too big. It has been more than a year now.¡± Meagan replied in an unusually raised tone.


    Alpha Carl shed her a small smile as he went over to her. ¡°I am sorry. I shouldn¡¯t have searched through your closet or even mention your ex boyfriend.¡± He apologized.


    ¡°No, it¡¯s alright. You must have been curious about finding a man¡¯s clothes in my closet.¡± She embraced him.


    ¡°Not really. Look I didn¡¯t know what to prepare exactly but I tried to cook pasta. I hope you like it.¡± Alpha Carl ced a kiss on her forehead before pulling away from the embrace.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Meagan nodded.


    ¡°Sit down, I¡¯ll get water.¡± Alpha Carl motioned towards the refrigerator to get a bottle of water.


    Meagan settled down to eat while Carl sat down facing her directly. ¡°Here.¡± He ced a te of pasta in front of her.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± She smiled.


    And they started eating. ¡°Hmm.. this is really delicious.¡± Meaganmented.


    Alpha Carl admired Meagan as she enjoyed the food. Strands of hair tumbled around her fresh face as she concentrated on the food.


    ¡°You look beautiful.¡± Alpha Carl muttered. He was finding it hard to concentrate fully on his food.


    Meagan¡¯s head snapped up to look at him. He smiled brightly as her gaze drifted down to his te.


    ¡°You haven¡¯t touched your food.¡± Meagan arched her eyebrows.


    ¡°Watching you is enough to make me full.¡± Alpha Carl reached out to touch her free hand on the table.


    Red colors flushed up her cheeks at his words. ¡°Come on. Eat your food and stop staring.¡± Meagan pointed at the te in front of him.


    ¡°Does it make you feel ufortable? I mean watching you so closely.¡± Alpha Carl asked.


    ¡°No, I am not feeling ufortable. Seriously Carl, I am d that you are here.¡± Meagan smiled.


    Alpha Carl let out a sigh. ¡°Well.. I thought you won¡¯t be d to see me. And you even tried to send me off.¡± He pouted.


    ¡°It was just a facade. Come on. Look at us now, I hope that I have been able to convince you more that I want you.¡± Meagan stared intently at him as she locked their hands.


    Thinking back over the hours he had spent with this woman that he loves so much. ¡°Yeah. But.. I think we should try to put things in ce.¡± Alpha Carl smiled.


    ¡°Like what?¡± Meagan asked.


    ¡°What¡¯s your next n?¡± Alpha Carl questioned.


    ¡°I am nning to tender my resignation letter tomorrow.¡± Meagan answered.


    ¡°Tomorrow?¡± Carl furrowed his eyebrows.


    Meagan shook her head. ¡°But.. tomorrow is thanksgiving. Aren¡¯t you supposed to visit your family?¡± Alpha Carl demanded.


    Meagan gasped out. ¡°Oh! That¡¯s right! It¡¯s my day off and I promised to see my dad!¡±


    Alpha Carl chuckled. ¡°It¡¯s a good thing you are around to remind me.¡± Meagan scooped food in her mouth.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    Alpha Carl cleared his throat after some minutes of silence. ¡°Meagan, I am thinking if I shoulde along with you to see your parents. I mean.. since I am in town.. it is way better and easier to-¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±  Meagan interrupted him.


    Alpha Carl¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°I¡¯ll.. meet them? Are.. you sure?¡± He stuttered.


    Meagan nodded. ¡°Why do you look surprised?¡± She asked.


    ¡°Well.. I wasn¡¯t sure if you would allow me meet them now.¡± Alpha Carl confessed.


    Meagan let out a little giggle that made him grin. ¡°Carl, I already made the decision to be with you. So we shouldn¡¯t waste too much time anymore. Although I also don¡¯t want you to think that I am desperate to get married but it is better to have the wedding early because of the baby bump.¡±


    Alpha Carl shook his head in agreement. After all, his mom was right. ¡°True. We should have the wedding early before the baby bump bes obvious.¡± He agreed.


    ¡°Jones already helped me to book a flight. I¡¯ll call him to book one for you too.¡± Meagan added.


    Alpha Carl shifted ufortably in his seat. ¡°Are you still in contact with him? I heard he stays close.. and you both have been friends for quite some time or maybe you used to be very close.¡±


    Meagan studied his face and it wasn¡¯t hard to tell what he was thinking. ¡°We are just friends. And I made it clear that I can¡¯t go out with him.¡±


    His expression was so readable. ¡°I doubt if Jones would ept such terms from you. Look at it from this aspect, what if he is still hoping that you might grow to fall in love with him? What if he is waiting for the right time to confess his feelings?¡± The alpha was jealous and he hated Jones guts when it concerns Meagan.


    Alpha Carl almost continued rambling but Meagan cuts him off by wrapping her arms around him from behind. Alpha Carl froze on spot. He was surprised. He didn¡¯t know when she had moved out of chair and came to his side to stand behind him.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. I am sure Jones would understand.¡± Meagan said.


    Alpha Carl turned around and wrapped his arms around her waist. ¡°Are you sure he won¡¯t be a problem to us?¡± He asked.


    Meagan looked straight into his eyes. ¡°I¡¯ll tell him everything on phone to clear things up. And I¡¯ll apologize if I had kept his hope high in anyway.¡± She reassured him, kissing his forehead.


    Alpha Carl seemed satisfied with the assurance. And if Jones wants to be a problem there are several ways to get him out of the way. Alpha Carl Damien concluded that he would use his authority as Jones¡¯s Alpha if the need arises.


    Alpha Carl felt more rxed as she pressed kisses all over his face. ¡°We should get a ring today.¡± He said.


    Meagan stopped kissing to look into his eyes. ¡°Your parents might ask why you don¡¯t have a ring on your finger when I am present to fix a wedding date.¡± He chuckled.


    ¡°You are right. I know a jewelry store in town.¡± Meagan agreed.


    ¡°Alright. Let us eat up and get ready to hit town.¡± Alpha Carl let go of her waist but Meagan arms was still around his neck.


    ¡°Hitting town cane inter.¡± Meagan mmed her lips on his mouth.


    Alpha Carl groaned as he stood up to his feet. Meagan melted into his arms. The food on the table can be reheated and eatenter.

 EPISODE 72 Time doesn鈥檛 matter

    NEW YORK-MEAGAN SWIFT HOME


    IN THE NIGHT


    Meagan dropped the mug in the sink as her gaze flickered on the round metal band on her finger. When they walked into the jewelry store, alpha Carl picked the first ring that had caught his eyes in the section. It was a Diamond ring and fortunately it was her perfect size. And alpha Carl Damien went down on his knees right in front of the people present asking her to marry him.


    Meagan smiled as she remembered how she had cried and couldn¡¯t control her tears and excitement. She admired the engagement band on her finger even as she wandered out of the kitchen to the living room.


    Alpha Carl was sound asleep in the bed after another round of love making. Her phone beeped as she was about settling on the couch. Meagan reached for the phone and the caller¡¯s ID was Penelope.


    A big smile was her face as she sat on the couch. Meagan already knew why her sister was calling. She had put a call through to her father to let him know that her fianc¨¦ wasing over to visit them tomorrow. And she had also sent messages to her siblings to let them know about it. Penelope must have a lot of questions because thest time Meagan was home, she never mentioned being in a rtionship.


    Meagan picked up the call. ¡°Hi Penelope.¡± She greeted.


    ¡°Hello Meagan, I am sure you are doing great.¡± Penelope said. It didn¡¯t sound like a question but a direct message.


    ¡°Of course, Penelope. So go straight to the point.¡± Meagan replied.


    Penelopeughed. ¡°Alright. So Meagan, tell me about this man who is your fianc¨¦. Thest time I checked on your rtionship status, you made it clear that you weren¡¯t interested in being with any man. And I even picked the director of the hospital over clingy Jones.¡± She rushed out her words.


    ¡°Well I met Carl at Hazel¡¯s wedding. He was the best man.¡± Meagan answered after letting out a sigh.


    ¡°Wait.. if Carl was the best man who is Julius best friend¡­ that only means-¡± Penelope paused trying to think about what her sister might be thinking too.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Meagan mumbled.


    ¡°Oh my God! He is the alpha of moon stone pack!¡± Penelope gasped in surprise.


    ¡°You are right.¡± Meagan knew she had caught her family off guard by the sudden news of her getting married. She was excited. After all, she won¡¯t be the single one at the table anymore.


    ¡°Meagan.. how did you manage to get an alpha of such a big pack to fall in love with you?! This is the most shocking news that I have ever received in my life! Tell me more about him. I would to love to hear about how you met him and how you both clicked.. everything!¡± Penelope pestered. She was smiling happily.


    ¡°There is no much things to say about us. As you already know, I have known him for more than a month. We spent a nice time together at the wedding but we didn¡¯t keep in touch because we had both agreed to a secret adventure.¡± Meagan exined.


    ¡°Come on, it doesn¡¯t matter if it is a secret adventure or you have only known him for a short time.¡± Penelope giggled.


    ¡°Well, that¡¯s not all.¡± Meagan said.


    ¡°What else?¡± Penelope asked.


    ¡°Carl came back to ask me to be his mate but only for him to find out that I am pregnant.¡±


    ¡°What?!¡± Penelope screamed over the phone. It was more shocking than hearing about her baby sister getting married to an alpha.


    ¡°I am about seven weeks gone.¡±  Meagan added.


    ¡°Wow! Meagan! This is unbelievable!¡± Penelope sounded excited over the phone.


    Meagan sighed. ¡°Do you think dad would be disappointed if he finds out that I am pregnant?¡± She asked.


    ¡°Disappointed?! No way! Everything is in check! Carl, the ring, the baby and we just need to fix a date for the wedding.¡± Penelope replied.


    ¡°But remember mom doesn¡¯t like werewolves so I am feeling she might not like Carl and the fact that we only met in a short time and decided to get married.¡± Meagan admitted how she had been feeling ever since she found out about the pregnancy.


    Meagan had envisioned her mom¡¯s reaction to the realization that her grandchild or children would be werewolves. Mrs Taylor Swift would be surprised by the revtion and Meagan can¡¯t stop herself from getting worried at the thought of it.


    ¡°Listen to me, time doesn¡¯t matter. And mom won¡¯t have a say in your life anymore as long as you know how you feel about him.¡± Penelope said in a calm tone.


    ¡°I am crazy about Carl. I love him so much. I just can¡¯t help but worry about what our parents would say.¡± Meagan replied.


    Everyone in her family had a seriousmitment, they had romantic stories of how they had met and them getting married to their loved ones. Her father¡¯s family are strong believers of long timemitment and they have followed the tradition of getting to know each other and courting for a long time before getting married. And they have records of sessful marriages but few divorces because of this tradition. But Meagan seemed like she was breaking the family rule by getting married quickly.


    ¡°Meagan, please stop this weird thinking. You love Carl and there must be something he saw the moment he set his eyes on you at the halloween party.¡± Penelope stated in a slightly raised tone.


    ¡°He always say that I am special, unique and beautiful.¡± Meagan blushed.


    Penelope giggled. ¡°I think I like this new Meagan that is totally head over heels for an alpha.¡±


    Meagan shrugged. ¡°I kind of feel at peace. Did you feel this way too?¡± She asked.


    ¡°Trust me, I felt so many emotions when I said yes to my husband. And I don¡¯t regret it.¡± Penelope answered.


    ¡°I won¡¯t regret saying yes to my mate too. I¡¯ll live a happy life with him.¡± Meagan rubbed her belly.


    Penelope smiled. ¡°I can¡¯t wait to see your Carl. I am so excited!¡±


    ¡°See you tomorrow, Penelope.¡± Meagan sounded resigned.


    ¡°Take care, baby sister.¡± Penelope replied before disconnecting the call.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    SWIFT FAMILY HOME


    Meagan¡¯s heart was suddenly beating so fast that she could feel it in her throat as the chauffeur pulled the car to a stop in front of her parents house. Alpha Carl paid the driver that picked them up at the airport and he also noticed the worried look on Meagan¡¯s face.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    ¡°Are you okay?¡± He asked.


    Meagan nodded her head repeatedly. ¡°Yes.. I am fine.. just a little bit nervous. Are you not feeling the same way?¡± She asked.


    Alpha Carl reached for her hand after sliding out of the car. ¡°Why should I be nervous? Because I am meeting your parents for the first time?¡± He helped her out of the car.


    Meagan was worried about her mother¡¯s reaction to the fact that she was about to get married to a wolf and not just an ordinary werewolf but an alpha of a werewolf pack.


    Alpha Carl locked their hands. He kissed their hands before smiling at her. ¡°If this is about your parents opinion about werewolves, I am not going to let their disapproval stop me from marrying you. So I want you to feel at ease. Don¡¯t look too tensed up.¡± He leaned in and ced a kiss on her forehead.


    ¡°Alright.¡± She let out a deep breathe.


    ¡°We have to prove to everyone that we want this life together irrespective of our different identities.¡± Alpha Carl Damien smiled.


    ¡°You are right. I feel a bit at ease now.¡± Meagan replied.


    And they both turned towards the entrance of the Swift¡¯s home. They bounded up the few steps leading to the door and Meagan pressed the door bell. She exchanged nces with alpha Carl when they both heard a response from inside the house.


    The door opened revealing Collins, thest child of the Swift. He had a bright smile on his face. ¡°Oh Meagan! Good to see you!¡± He opened the door wide for them to walk into the house.


    Collins embraced his elder sister as soon as she stepped in with Carl behind her. ¡°I missed you so much!¡± He chuckled as he let her go.


    ¡°I missed you too.¡± Meagan smiled.


    Collins looked up at alpha Carl. ¡°Hi, I am Collins.¡± He stretched out his hand towards the alpha.


    ¡°Carl Damien.¡± The alpha shook hand with him with a small smile on his face.


    ¡°Good to see you. I was told that you are a werewolf.. no.. an alpha.¡± Collins looked at his sister.


    Alpha Carl Damien just simply nodded his head. ¡°Oh! Does that mean-¡±


    ¡°Where is everyone?!¡± Meagan interrupted her brother in an unusual raised tone before he could utter his next words.


    Collins is quite a talker but it is always fun to have him around. At that point, he could go on and on asking series of questions about werewolves because he always like to satisfy his curiosity.


    ¡°We are about having lunch.¡± Collins replied.


    Alpha Carl Damien held onto Meagan¡¯s hands as Collins led the way to the dinning section. The Swift house is worthy to be called a beautiful mansion.


    It is Thanksgiving! A day set aside for people to give thanks for what they have. Families and friends get together for a meal which traditionally includes a roast turkey, stuffing potatoes, vegetables, cranberry sauce, gravy and pumpkin pie.


    Meagan could hear different voices as they approached therge dinning area. She knew today¡¯s lunch and discussion would be centered around her. And she had prayed that Aunt Julia shouldn¡¯t make it to Thanksgiving today.


    Aunt Julie is a nosy woman. She derives joy in preying into other people¡¯s lives. And she is also quick to judge people. If you are doing what Aunt Julie counts as a sin then be prepared to get lectured by her. But her absence would really make things easy for Meagan and she would only have to deal with her parents most especially her mother.


    ¡°Meagan is here!¡± Collins announced.


    And everywhere because silent. The whole family that had gathered for this lunch turned their heads towards Meagan and her fianc¨¦. Their eyes was mostly fixed on Alpha Carl Damien.


    And he began to feel strange being surrounded by only humans. It has been so long since he has ever been in this kind of situation. Thest time he had felt this way was when Madison pestered him to go with her to have dinner with her human friends. Well Madison wanted to show off how amazing and powerful her boyfriend was to her friends just to gain their respect and make them jealous of her. And alpha Carl didn¡¯t have any other choice than to go with her. But this time, it was different. He was meeting his soon to be inws.


    ¡°Good afternoon everyone.¡± Meagan greeted as she looked at each of her family members. She couldn¡¯t help feeling nervous when she noticed that all eyes were on her mate.


    Mr Swift cleared his throat as he stood up from the chair. Everyone chorused different greetings at Meagan before they began to murmur among each other. It was a full house. The whole family had gathered for this Thanksgiving. This is the only opportunity they have to all be together.


    ¡°Good to see you.¡± Mr Swift grinned happily as he embraced his daughter.


    Alpha Carl could make out some of the murmurings from the family members. They probably didn¡¯t know that a werewolf has a keen sense of hearing. Someplimented his good look while someone mentioned something about Meagan being different.


    ¡°Why did she choose to marry a wolf this time?  Last time, it was a bully.¡±


    Carl heard it clearly but was d that his mate won¡¯t know if not it would only make things awkward for her.


    Mr Swift pulled out of the embrace and went to Carl. ¡°I don¡¯t know much about you but I am happy to wee you to the family.¡± He shook hands with alpha Carl.

    IN CONNECTICUT


    SWIFT¡¯S FAMILY HOME


    Alpha Carl could make out some of the murmurings from the family members. They probably didn¡¯t know that a werewolf has a keen sense of hearing. Someplimented his good look while someone mentioned something about Meagan being different.


    ¡°Why did she choose to marry a wolf this time?  Last time, it was a bully.¡±


    Carl heard it clearly but was d that his mate won¡¯t know if not it would only make things awkward for her.


    Mr Swift pulled out of the embrace and went to Carl. ¡°I don¡¯t know much about you but I am happy to wee you to the family.¡± He shook hands with alpha Carl.


    Alpha Carl Damien tried to study his expression and Mr Swift was sincere. Does it mean that he has been epted by her father? He mused.


    ¡°I have heard so much about you from Meagan.¡± Alpha Carl smiled.


    ¡°I hope she told you good things about me?¡± Mr Swift chuckled.


    Mrs Swift joined them and she greeted her daughter with a smug look on her face. Even Meagan was surprised by her warm weing attitude.


    ¡°I am happy that you have finally found him.¡± Mrs Swift purred into her daughter¡¯s ears.


    Meagan¡¯s sibling also came around to exchanged pleasantries with Carl.


    ¡°Too many introductions to do but this is the perfect time to get to meet our extended family.¡± Mr Swift said.


    ¡°Carl, meet Penelope, Jasmine, Benjamin and of course Collins who you already met at the door. They are my siblings.¡± Meagan introduced them briefly.


    ¡°Carl Damien.¡± The alpha exchanged pleasantries with the siblings.


    ¡°It is good to have you in the family.¡± Penelope winked at her sister.


    Mr Swift turned to face the family members and he cleared his throat. ¡°Listen up everyone. There is an addition to the family. Permit me to introduce to you my beautiful daughter¡¯s fianc¨¦. His name is Carl Damien, the alpha of the famous moon stone pack.¡± He said loudly with pride in his tone.


    Everyone pped. ¡°That¡¯s not all. We are set to pick a date for their wedding and wee my daughter into the marital fold.¡± Mrs Swift joked and everyoneughed.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that too fast?¡±Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Meagan heard the familiar voice as she was about to settle down next to Carl. She had heaved a sigh of relief when she didn¡¯t see this olddy at the table. But Aunt Julia was present for Thanksgiving. She had walked in from the kitchen when the siblings introduction was going on.


    Penelope rolled her eyes. ¡°Aunt Julia, what do you mean by too fast?¡± She asked.


    ¡°I mean.. the wedding. Your father said they haven¡¯t been together for long.¡± Aunt Julia focused her attention on Meagan who avoided her gaze immediately.


    She already knew Aunt Julia would bring up the tradition.


    ¡°Do they really have to court or date each other for long years before getting married?¡± Mrs Taylor fired back at Aunt Julia.


    She knew what this olddy was trying to do. Talk down on her daughter because all of her daughters are yet to get married? Mrs Taylor wasn¡¯t going to let Aunt Julia get away this time.


    ¡°I am not saying they have to court each other for many years.. but less a than two months rtionship is too short to decide to get married.¡± Aunt Julia snorted.


    Alpha Carl reached out to touch his mate¡¯s hand under the table. She looked up at him and he shed her a reassuring smile.


    ¡°All I am-¡±


    ¡°We are having a baby.¡± Meagan blurted out as she turned to look at her father.


    Everyone gasped out in shock except for Penelope who already knows about it.


    ¡°I am sorry mom.. dad for not telling you. I didn¡¯t want to share such news over the phone.¡± Meagan apologized.


    ¡°No.. no.. Meagan. You don¡¯t need to apologize. I mean.. this is great news!¡± Mr Swift pped his hands. He was super excited to hear about it. And once again his attitude caught his daughter off guard.


    ¡°Listen Meagan, it doesn¡¯t matter how long you have been seeing your fianc¨¦. As a matter of fact, time doesn¡¯t matter at all. I can clearly see that he loves you.¡± Mrs Swift added with a bright smile on her face.


    Meagan nodded in agreement. ¡°That¡¯s all that matters.¡± Penelope eyed Aunt Julia before she scooped food into her mouth.


    ¡°And I think.. it is far more better than calling off your wedding even after courting your spouse for long years.¡± Jasmine shrugged.


    Aunt Julie looked at Jasmine. ¡°Are you trying to insult me?¡± She frowned.


    Jasmine covered her mouth. ¡°Am I? I didn¡¯t call Aunt Julia¡¯s name or Arya¡¯s. I am just trying to say that different things work for different people.¡± She said with a shrug.


    Some of the family members stiffed back augh because they knew Jasmine was throwing shades at Aunt Julia and her only daughter that was presence for Thanksgiving.


    ¡°Jasmine, don¡¯t make it look like your life as a married woman is better than mine.¡± Arya spat.


    Carl recognized her voice to be the person who hadmented about his mate being different. He already hates her in his head.


    ¡°Of course, my life is not perfect but I am married with two lovely children. Oh! I remember! You boasted of getting married this year at thest Thanksgiving and you even mocked Meagan for not having a boyfriend. Look, it is November! So when do I get a wedding invitation?¡± Jasmine stretched out her hand but it didn¡¯t reach Arya who sat across her from the table.


    Fury crashed over Arya. ¡°I am not giving you an invitation anymore! And how dare you have the gut to insult me when someone is about to change the family history? A wolf? A human? What would be the baby¡¯s identity?¡± She mocked.


    ¡°An hybrid.¡± Collins replied.


    General pandemonium escted around the table. Everyone present argued about the identity of the baby. Alpha Carl Damien gave his mate¡¯s hand a small squeeze. Arya doesn¡¯t have any right to talk about their unborn child. And Meagan was ashamed and disappointed because they are arguing right in front of her husband to be.


    ¡°You are just a bitter woman, Arya! You are jealous because my sister who didn¡¯t have a boyfriendst year is getting married before you!¡± Jasmine snapped at Arya.


    Her family is so peaceful but it only seems to spell trouble whenever Aunt Julia and her daughters are around.


    ¡°Everybody calm down¡­¡± Mr Swift tried to silence them but it didn¡¯t work.


    Jasmine and Arya threw insults at each other. These two women are the same age but never on good terms.

 EPISODE 75 Pandemonium

    IN CONNECTICUT


    SWIFT¡¯S FAMILY HOME


    Mrs Taylor faced Aunt Julia when she tried to me Jasmine for everything. Tears clouded Meagan¡¯s eyes as she listened to all of them arguing and debating about the identity of her unborn child. Alpha Carl didn¡¯t know if it was proper to silent them but he stood up and did it anyway.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± He snarled.


    Everywhere became silent as their heads turned towards him. He liked the fact that he got their attention immediately. He was trying so hard not to act like an alpha over these mere humans but he couldn¡¯t take the insults being directed at his mate anymore.


    Alpha Carl breathed out heavily. ¡°Let us just do this introduction of a thing over again because I didn¡¯t expect to see this here.¡± He admitted with sincerity in his tone.


    Alpha Carl knew Meagan was from a very good home, no doubt but the problem seems to be aid down tradition and someone who had set herself to be the eagle eye of the family-Aunt Julia.


    Jasmine and Arya sat down immediately after shooting res at each other.


    ¡°Carl, thank you for saving me the stress of sending every single head on this table out of my house. Our family is not like this so please don¡¯t get the wrong idea about us.¡± Mr Swift said in an apologetic tone although annoyance was clear on his expression.


    ¡°I know Meagan is from a very good family because she already share a lot of things with me in a short while. So I came expecting to see the good pictures I have prayed in my head. I expected congrattions for the news about our baby from every member but my mate has received nothing but condemnation for loving a werewolf. Why did she choose to marry a wolf this time? Thest time, it was a bully.¡± He looked at Arya who looked away almost immediately.


    ¡°I understand that there is a tradition in this family but history are meant to be changed. Meagan being the first to marry a werewolf shouldn¡¯t make her an outcast. Deciding to get married in less than two months of dating doesn¡¯t mean the marriage would end in six months time. A human and a werewolfing together doesn¡¯t mean the baby would turn out to be a monster. Irrespective of the kinds, understanding each other is all that matters. And we werewolves already signed a peace treaty to make the humans feel secure around us. I have many humans dwelling in my pack and so far, there hasn¡¯t been a report of a werewolf hurting another human. The humans feels safe and we have all managed to coexist peacefully for many years now.¡± Alpha Carl paused to take in a deep breathe.


    ¡°So I want to plead with you all to give me and Meagan your blessings.¡± Alpha Carl Damien said in a calm tone. He sounded persuasive enough even though his wolf was close to losing it for the words fired at his mate.


    Mr Swift cleared his throat. He was impressed by the words of his soon to be son inw. He expected this much from a man who runs a whole pack. He had already done his research on Carl and made enquires about his pack. His keen sense of responsibility would be on the high side than any other werewolf. And it made the old man happy that his daughter already found her happy ce. Mr Swift doesn¡¯t need to say too much because he was rest assured that his daughter was in good hands.


    ¡°Meagan.¡± He called.


    Meagan wiped her tears and sniffed. ¡°Yes dad.¡±


    ¡°I have always trusted your decisions when ites to matters that concerns your life and other people. And I am certain that you have made the right choice again just like how you picked Medicine over Law and till date you have no regrets for being different.¡± Mr Swift shed her a smug smile.


    ¡°Thank you dad. I just want to spend the rest of my life with this wolf because I feel at peace around him. And I love him so much.¡± Meagan admitted.


    Mr Swift shook his head. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, we shouldn¡¯t waste time anymore. Carl, do you have a date in mind?¡± He asked.


    ¡°Yes. Actually, we agreed to get married next month before the baby bump bes too obvious.¡± Alpha Carl answered.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    ¡°Alright. We¡¯ll have the wedding on the 23rd of December. Is that okay with you?¡± Mr Swift asked again.


    Alpha Carl exchanged nces with his mate asking her with his eyes if the date was okay and she shook her head in agreement.


    ¡°Yes, it is fine with us.¡± Carl responded.


    Mr Swift reached out to touch his wife¡¯s hand on the table. ¡°We give you our blessings.¡± Mrs Taylor Swift said.


    Mrs Taylor was tearfully thrilled that she would soon have another grand baby in addition to the family.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± A small smile formed on Meagan¡¯s face.


    Everyone including Aunt Julia and Arya congratted Meagan and Carl. Jasmine was made to apologize to Aunt Julia while Arya apologized to Meagan for the words she said earlier on.


    ¡°I am so happy for you, Meagan.¡± Arya said to them.


    ¡°But get ready to feel crazy and more demanding once your baby bump grows.¡± Penelope giggled.


    ¡°Carl, we tend to have crazy cravings during pregnancy.¡± Jasmine added.


    ¡°I can handle it all. And moreover, she doesn¡¯t have to do anything as a Luna aside giving me her support while I run the pack. We have enough workers in the pack house that handles the chores.¡± Carl smiled heartily.


    ¡°Listen if she is stressing you out just give me a call. I can run right over to your pack to pet her to sleep.¡± Mr Swift joked and everyoneughed.


    They settled to eat and discussed the ns for the wedding. Andter on after lunch, some youngsters gathered around Carl to ask many questions about werewolves and his pack.

 EPISODE 76 Welcome party for a luna

    MOON STONE PACK


    FEW DAYS LATER


    Ever since Meagan visited her family home with her fianc¨¦, Mr and Mrs Swift has made it an habit to call their daughter daily. They call and chat her up each day to check up on her and the baby.


    Today, Meagan was finally moving into moon stone pack to start a new life with the alpha. She already quit her job and leased out her apartment to a colleague at work.


    And at this point, the whole moon stone members already knows that their alpha has found his mate and set to get married in few weeks time. Well it was Julius who made the announcement to the members ording to the words of the alpha.


    Meagan¡¯s heart beat elerated as Carl helped her out of the car. Alpha Carl locked his fingers with hers and she allowed herself to feel rxed. She could hardly believe that it has gotten to the point where she would get a title of being called a Luna.


    Julius, Hazel and Brianna were waiting in front of the pack house as Meagan and Carl approached them. Meagan tried not to miss her steps when she saw the bright smile on her best friend¡¯s face. Meagan was sure that her best friend was contented with the choice that she has made to marry the alpha. Meagan has not really had a discussion with her best friend since she said yes to marrying the alpha.


    ¡°And herees the Luna of moon stone pack!¡± Brianna screamed out when Carl and Meagan reached them.


    ¡°And who is the Luna of moon stone pack?! My best friend!¡± Hazel giggled as she embraced Meagan tightly.


    Alpha Carl and Julius exchanged manly hugs while Brianna waited for her turn to embrace the Luna.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    ¡°It must have been difficult for you to make these decisions and sacrifices.¡± Hazel mumbled into her ears.


    ¡°I am happy with the choice that I have made.¡± Meagan purred into her ears as her best friend pulled out of the embrace.


    Hazel¡¯s eyes was bleary but she managed to put a smile on her face. She was super excited that her best friend turned out to be the Luna of her pack. Hazel knew it wouldn¡¯t be easy for Meagan to make such a decision. She had even doubted if her best friend could quit her job and leave everything behind to be in this pack. If Meagan could do without spending Christmas, Thanksgiving or Easter with her parents. But in the end, Meagan had agreed to marry the alpha and she had epted the deal to be the Luna and remain in the pack for a long time. Meagan has made up her mind to spend the rest of her life with the alpha.


    ¡°It is good to see you again, Meagan.¡± Brianna said as they made their way into the house.


    Some of the workers in the pack house already positioned themselves in therge living room waiting to wee their Luna. And as soon as Carl opened the door, they all bowed their heads and chorused a greeting.


    ¡°Wee to moon stone pack, Luna!¡±


    Meagan couldn¡¯t hold back the smile that crept up on her face and she covered her mouth in surprise. The pack house was beautifully decorated. She didn¡¯t expect such a wee party from the pack house workers.


    Alpha Carl Damien locked hands with his mate. ¡°Thank you very much. So let me introduce to you my mate. Meagan Swift, who is also carrying the future alpha in her stomach.¡± He said joyfully.


    They exchanged surprised nces but had smiles on their faces even as they bowed to Meagan.


    ¡°Oh no.. no.. you don¡¯t have to-¡± Meagan¡¯s words was cut of when she also noticed that Julius, Hazel and Brianna were bowing their heads too.


    ¡°Do they really have to bow to me? I mean.. even my best friend?!¡± She whispered to Carl.


    Alpha Carl shook his head positively. Her eyes widened in shock. ¡°Even Julius who is the beta?!¡± She gritted.


    ¡°Yes. And they won¡¯t raise their heads until you instruct them to do so.¡±  Carl mumbled.


    ¡°Wow! What should I say?¡± Meagan asked him.


    Alpha Carl leaned closer to her ears. ¡°Raise your heads.¡± He answered.


    Meagan stepped away from him and cleared her throat. ¡°Please.. raise your heads.¡± She instructed. This is all new to her.


    And they did raise their heads. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯ll get use to it. You are a Luna now.¡± Julius grinned.


    ¡°Ohe on.. Julius.¡± Meagan giggled.


    ¡°Eva, is everything ready?¡± Hazel asked the she wolf in charge of the kitchen for that day.


    ¡°Yes. We have also set the table.¡± Eva answered.


    ¡°Please let us have dinner to celebrate this union!¡± Julius chuckled.


    They sat around the table to eat and also put in ce necessary things for the wedding.


    **********


    FEW DAYS LATER


    Hazel intertwined her hand with Meagan as they made their way to Jessica¡¯s house. She is the one in charge of making the wedding dress.


    ¡°Have you noticed how bright your skin lookstely?¡± Hazel asked.


    ¡°Really?¡± Meagan touched her face with her free hand.


    Hazel shook her head. ¡°Yes. And it seems like you are gaining more weight too.¡± She added.


    ¡°Really? I haven¡¯t noticed any changes in my bodytely. But if you are right then it must be the pregnancy. Do you think I need to see a doctor?¡± Meagan stopped on track to face her best friend.


    Hazel chuckled. ¡°Why do you need to see a doctor when you are one?¡±


    Meagan rolled her eyes. ¡°Stop whining. I am a doctor but this is all new to me. I mean.. being pregnant myself.. plus it is not the usual baby but a pup.¡± She let out a sigh.


    ¡°I am just kidding. You don¡¯t need to panic. Alpha Carl already arranged for the theta and three Iotas to look after you.¡± Hazel smiled.


    Meagan arched her eyebrows. ¡°Really? Four medical workers?!¡± She counted her free fingers.


    Hazel nodded her head in agreement. ¡°But isn¡¯t that too much?¡± Meagan demanded.


    Hazel¡¯s smile faded abruptly. ¡°Too much? The alpha is just trying to be careful and also make youfortable as his Luna. Plus it is your first time.¡± She exined.


    Meagan shook her head in agreement.  ¡°The alpha is a bit nervous about the pup but at the same time he is excited that he would be a father soon.¡± Hazel said.


    ¡°I am nervous too.¡± Meagan muttered.


    ¡°Look, do you know how happy I am that you are getting married to the alpha?! I was d when Carl told me that he wanted you to be his mate and keep you in his life forever. And it is surprising how he had fallen so hard and fast for you.¡± Hazel giggled.


    ¡°It is aplete turn around for me too. I never dreamt of being mated to a werewolf not to talk of an alpha wolf. Anyways, I am happy it is Carl Damien.¡± Meagan admitted.


    Hazel continued. ¡°I am so happy for you. And it only means that we¡¯ll be best friends forever!¡±


    ¡°Oh that¡¯s right!¡± Meagan gave her best friend¡¯s hand a small squeeze.


    And they resumed walking. ¡°Well.. I think Brianna would tie the knot with Jeremy next year too.¡± Hazel added.


    Meagan rolled her eyes. ¡°How sure are you? I know what you are trying to do.¡± She knew her married friend wanted her close single friends to get married too.


    ¡°Brianna has been seeing Jeremy since the wedding and they are doing great! It is so obvious Brianna enjoys being around him and Jeremy is also not hiding the fact that he feels something for her.¡± Hazel exined.


    ¡°Well.. that¡¯s great news.¡± Meagan pouted.


    ¡°Although Brianna still feels embarrassed for chasing after the alpha for a long time. But no worries, she is over him now and head over heels for Jeremy.¡± Hazel replied gently.


    Meagan bit the inside of her cheeks. ¡°I am happy she is doing great with Jeremy.¡± She admitted.


    They went on to talk about Jones and Director Ethan. Meagan exined that these men weren¡¯t so satisfied to find out that she was soon getting married to an alpha werewolf but they didn¡¯t have a choice than to ept her feelings for Carl Damien.

 EPISODE 77 A blessed union

    SOME WEEKS LATER


    The wedding was to take ce in moon stone pack as nned on the same day they hd agreed on few weeks ago.


    ¡°You are so beautiful.¡± Penelopeplimented her sister¡¯s looks.


    The bride, chief bridesmaids in person of Brianna, Penelope and Hazel are all in the dressing room. Helen the event nner walked briskly into the dressing room.


    ¡°Helen, is everything fine in the hall?¡± Hazel asked.


    ¡°Yes. The ushers are seating thest set of guests in the hall now. After the arrangement, no one would be allowed to enter the hall, until the bride has made her entry.¡± Helen looked them all over with her eagle eyes. She shook her head with a smug look on her face for the job well done by the make up artists.


    ¡°You all look beautiful.¡± Helen pronounced before ncing down at her wrist watch. ¡°We should get ready to leave now.¡± She said, and made her way out of the room.


    Brianna and Hazel helped the bride up so she could see her reflection in the mirror. Meagan¡¯s hair was packed up in an elegant bun with strands of hair curled at the sides to frame her beautiful face. And sitting on top of her head was a shiny silver crown encrusted with crystals. Her wedding dresses was designed with floral like white roses and adorned crystal buttons topliments the uniqueness. The gown floated softly over her tummy which was beginning to expand but not too obvious and a sheer veilpleted the bridal look.


    Meagan was feeling nervous and also impatient. Hazel noticed it. ¡°Rx.. Meagan.. everything would be fine okay?¡± Hazelforted her.


    ¡°Do you need a calming pills?¡± Penelope asked.


    ¡°No.. no.. I¡¯ll be fine.¡± Meagan stuttered as she looked at each faces in the dressing room.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    Hazel leaned closer to hold her hand. ¡°I know you are feeling nervous. But trust me I felt this way on my wedding too and you were there to help me rx.¡± She smiled.


    ¡°Oh Hazel.. thank you for always being there all these years.¡± Meagan embraced her best friend.¡±Thank you for looking out for me every time. And-¡± Her voice trailed off.


    Hazel withdrew from the embrace. ¡°Don¡¯t start crying now. Please.. don¡¯t cry. I don¡¯t think alpha Carl would forgive me for making his bride cry before the ceremony.¡±


    Penelope passed her sister a tissue. ¡°Don¡¯t ruin your make up.¡±


    Meagan nodded with a smile on her face. A knock on the door indicated that it was time for the bride to go out. Helen popped her head in as Chloe touched the bride¡¯s face with little make up.


    ¡°It is time. Everyone of waiting to see the star of today.¡± Helen said.


    Everyone giggled while Hazel put the sheer veil over Meagan¡¯s face carefully. And they all led the bride out of the dressing room to the grand hall.


    Alpha Carl Damien was waiting impatiently to see his bride. He was wearing a ck tuxedo, inside was a white shirt along a ck bow tie. The groomsmen were wearing navy blue suits, pink shirt inside too with either bow ties or neck ties and all bearing a pink silk in their breast pockets. The bridesmaids are mostly young girls from Meagan¡¯s family and few of Carl¡¯s too. And they were all dressed in a navy blue sweet neckline straight gowns with threeyers around their knees.


    Meagan smiled happily when she saw alpha Carl and his men at the entrance of the hall. Her worries and nervousness all disappeared as he smiled back at her. She felt at peace at the sight of her mate and the fact that everything was going well as nned and everyone was cooperating with the ns. And also looking at the nearly perfect arrangement of the bridesmaids gathered around her set Meagan in a better mood.


    ¡°You look amazing, Meagan.¡± Alpha Carlplimented with a huge smile spreading on his lips which reflected on Meagan¡¯s perfectly painted ones.


    ¡°You look.. stunning too.¡± Meagan whispered even though her cheeks were flushing red.


    The grand hall was decorated with whitece ribbon and plentiful of flowers in different shades of colors. It was packed to the brim and the guests were all seated efficiently. The initial n was to keep a small wedding but it couldn¡¯t work out considering the size of both families. Parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, nieces, cousins, nephews, pack members and friends to the couple attended the wedding. And Carl¡¯s mother had weed Meagan into the family with happiness and she also embraced her family too with warmth approval.


    A melodious sound of the piano in the hall sent a signal to alpha Carl and his groomsmen to make their entry ording to the cue given to them by the event nner. After alpha Carl Damien positioned himself at the altar, he waited impatiently for the arrival of his bride.


    Meagan was given the cue to make her entry too with the bridesmaids. Mr Swift held his daughter with Brianna behind them helping with the long train of the gown while they walked down the aisle. When they finally reached the groom, Mr Swift entrusted his daughter to the man who has promised to take care of her for the rest of his life.


    The head of Epsilon group announced the presence of the couple. ¡°The mating ceremony begins now!¡± He pronounced the start of the ceremony.


    He took a knife and a goblet from the altar and raised it up for the guests to see. ¡°We are all here for the union of our reliable alpha Carl Damien and Meagan Swift who would be our certified Luna starting from today. May this union be blessed by the moon goddess and shower them with strength to stick together in order to rule this pack in peace and harmony.¡± The head of Epsilon prayed.

 EPISODE 78 Promises of a lifetime

    MOON STONE PACK


    The head of Epsilon group announced the presence of the couple. ¡°The mating ceremony begins now!¡± He pronounced the start of the ceremony.


    He took a knife and a goblet from the altar and raised it up for the guests to see. ¡°We are all here for the union of our reliable alpha Carl Damien and Meagan Swift who would be our certified Luna starting from today. May this union be blessed by the moon goddess and shower then with strength to stick together to rule this pack in peace and harmony.¡± The head of Epsilon prayed.


    He went ahead to say good things about the alpha. He preached to the couple and stated out the marital rules that would be useful to them as they embark on this lifetime journey together. After some minutes of his teachings, he announced the moment for the couple to do the mating ritual.


    Alpha Carl Damien was made to take the mating vows first and he repeated after the head of the epsilon.


    ¡°In the name of the respected and beloved moon goddess, I take you,  Meagan Swift to be my mate, to have and to hold onto you from this day forward. I promise to love you as my mate, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to care and cherish you until death do us apart. This is my mating vow.¡± He took the knife from the epsilon and sliced his palm and let the blood drop into the goblet.


    Meagan was made to drink it. She also said her mating vow and Carl was made to drink her blood too. The head of Epsilon group asked the couple for the ring bearer when he didn¡¯t see one.


    ¡°Where is the wedding ring?¡± Jasmine wondered loud to which almost everyone could hear her.


    ¡°Alpha Carl said it is a surprise.¡± Hazel whispered to Jasmine. They all sat together in the second row with their respective partners.


    Alpha Carl had told the event nner not to arranged for a ring bearer that he wanted the moment to be different and surprising to everyone. And on cue, alpha Carl Damien turned to the door with two fingers on his lips and pupped his cheeks to make a whistling sound.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    ¡°Oh!¡± Everyone eximed when their eyes caught the ring bearer.


    A white puppy appeared in the hall. The puppy was carrying a white pillow around his neck as he raced down the aisle to the altar. Alpha Carl had purchased the puppy two weeks ago saying he wanted it to grow with his pup. Smiles of adoration came from the guests and even Meagan was surprised upon seeing the ring bearer.


    Beta Julius crouched down to the puppy¡¯s size and removed the pillow from it neck. In the pillow bears two shining Diamond rings.


    ¡°Alpha Carl-¡±


    ¡°I have something to say.¡± Damien interrupted the Epsilon.


    He raised his eyebrows in confusion. ¡°Can I have a minute to make an unusual vow to my mate?¡± Alpha Carl Damien requested.


    ¡°Do you have something to say too?¡± The head of Epsilon asked the bride.


    Meagan hadn¡¯t prepared anything but she said, ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Alright, please go ahead.¡± The head of Epsilon bowed slightly to the couple.


    Alpha Carl Damien cleared his throat before speaking up. ¡°Meagan.. since you came into my life, I am no longer lonely but I am now iplete without you. Meagan Swift, you are my other half, the only reason I wake up every morning to fight for what I want and care about. I am not worthy of you but here you are before me now my perfect bride.  No doubt, you are my predestined bride by the moon goddess and I am happy that I met you at the right time.¡± He held her injured palm.


    ¡°Today, I solemnly swear to the moon goddess and everyone present here that I¡¯ll take care of you till the day of my death. As long as I am alive, I¡¯ll ensure that you¡¯ll be happy forever till the end of the world and till the end of our lives. I¡¯ll stand by you, taking care of you and loving you for the rest of my life.¡± A tear slipped down Meagan¡¯s cheek as she looked straight into his eyes through the sheer veil.


    Alpha Carl Damien swallowed hard to get rid of the lump that already formed in his throat. ¡°Meagan, I¡¯ll ensure that you live a healthy, happy and great life forever. And henceforth, I¡¯ll love you more than how I have loved you in the passed months.¡± He breathed out heavily.


    Meagan was already in tears. His words touched her heart and the guests were also in an motional mood and feeling awe.


    Meagan sniffed. ¡°I.. I love you, Carl Damien. I may not be perfect for you but I¡¯ll do my best. I¡¯ll give you enough love and make you the happiest man on earth. But just promise me one thing.¡± She requested.


    ¡°What is it?¡± Alpha Carl asked.


    ¡°I know trouble might arise.. and you may need to go to war to protect our pack and every member i. It.¡± Meagan said.


    Alpha Carl nodded. ¡°You are right.¡± He mouthed.


    ¡°So promise me.. that you won¡¯t die. Don¡¯t die.. Carl.. because I won¡¯t even die on you too. I¡¯ll be with you forever in my life.¡± Meagan sobbed.


    Some of the guestsughed as Meagan¡¯s sobs erupted in the hall. Alpha Carl Damien couldn¡¯t hold back augh too.


    ¡°I promise. I¡¯ll always be by your side till the end of our lives.¡± Alpha Carl Damien vowed.


    ¡°I love you, Carl.¡± Meagan embraced her husband.


    Julius started pping and everyone joined in too. And the pping didn¡¯t end until Carl and Meagan exchanged rings and got their marital bands.


    ¡°By the powers vested in me by the moon goddess, I now pronounce the two of you mates. And a husband and a wife! You may kiss your bride!¡± The epsilon announced.


    Alpha Carl Damien lifted the veil but before he could lean closer, Meagan closed the distance between their lips faster than he did and she kissed him.


    The whole guests stood up to their feet and pped their hands as the newly wed couples kissed.


    Meaganughed heartily after sharing a passionate kiss with Carl. She was satisfied with her choice. The newly mated couples turned to face their guests. They both looked delighted and happy with the promises they have made to each other.


    A secret adventure turned out to be a life time adventure encouraged by love they seemed to grow stronger day by day.

 EPISODE 79 War against the vampire rogues

    MOON STONE PACK


    SEVERAL MONTHS LATER


    It waste in the night, Meagan woke up to severe pains all over her body. She was feeling ufortable and paranoid at the same time. And it has been like that for quite some days now. In Meagan¡¯s mind, she was really scared but she couldn¡¯t exin why she was having such a feeling.


    Meagan went into the bathroom to pee. She stepped out, motioned towards the door and walked out of the room. The bed was empty which only means that Carl wasn¡¯t back home.


    ¡°Meagan, are you okay?¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien¡¯s voice stopped her on track.


    Meagan turned around to look at the olddy who just stepped out of her room.  Mrs Gabrie Damien has been in the pack just simply nursing her heavily pregnant daughter inw.


    ¡°Oh no.. I feel so much pains all over my body.¡± Meagan admitted.


    Mrs Gabrie Damien rushed towards her daughter inw. ¡°Oh.. my.. child.¡± She led Meagan into the living room.


    ¡°I feel so scared. Have you heard from Carl? Where is he? I haven¡¯t seen him in days now.¡± Meaganined as Mrs Gabrie Damien helped her settled on the couch.


    ¡°Carl is fine. He is in a meeting with his officials. He has been very busy trying to put some things in ce. Let me get you water.¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien walked off into the kitchen.


    ¡°My child.. I need you to rx.¡± The olddy came back with a ss of water.


    Meagan collected the ss and gulped down the whole liquid. ¡°Can I go and see Carl? He should be free to see me for some minutes.¡± Meagan couldn¡¯t stay calm. She felt warm and hot at the same time. She didn¡¯t see a reason to sit back anymore and wait for her mate toe and see her. It has been close to five days since shest saw him.


    Mrs Gabrie Damien sat beside her on the couch. ¡°Listen my dear, I know you are worried about your mate. But I need you to calm down for the pups sake.¡± She said in a calm tone.


    Meagan breathed out and nodded in agreement. Mrs Gabrie Damien pondered if it was right to tell her daughter inw the whole truth.


    ¡°Is there anything wrong? Are you hiding something from me?¡± Meagan demanded when she noticed that the olddy looked distant and lost in thought.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know if I should share this information with you.¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien held Meagan¡¯s hands.


    ¡°Please tell me what¡¯s going on? Is it about the pack? Or even Carl?¡± Meagan rushed out her words.


    ¡°This is mainly about the pack. We have been having problems with the vampire rogues for some time now. They want a part of ournd but we can¡¯t let them have it. The zeta has sent out the words of the alpha to their leader to make peace but nothing is working.¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien exined.


    ¡°Yes. I remember Carl sharing the tale of how he and Brianna fought off some of the vampires rogues. Can¡¯t the head of the vampires tame the rogues? At least they are of the same kind.¡± Meagan asked.


    Mrs Gabrie Damien shook her head in pity. ¡°Vampire Min tried to control the rogues even though he doesn¡¯t have any power over them. So they ended up taking his life the day he visited to make peace with the rogues. It seems like they don¡¯t want to be governed but want to remain outcasts and have their pack.¡±


    Meagan raised her eyebrows. ¡°That¡¯s weird.¡± She mumbled.


    ¡°They have gone berserk and started killing werewolves and even vampires. Those blood suckers are cruel and heartless!¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien hissed out.


    ¡°So what¡¯s the n? They can¡¯t be stopped?¡± Meagan asked.


    ¡°War.¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien said.


    ¡°War? Does that mean the wolves have to fight against the vampire rogues?¡± Meagan demanded with a worried look on her face.


    ¡°Carl and other alpha¡¯s already dered war. They are going to fight against the vampire rogues.¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien answered.


    Panic set within Meagan as the thought of Carl going to war. ¡°There should be another way to tame the vampire rogues.¡±


    Mrs Gabrie Damien gave her small hands a gentle squeeze. ¡°Trying to make peace over the years didn¡¯t work out. The only way to tame the vampire rogues is if their leader is killed. I heard she is a female.¡±


    Meagan eyes widened in shock. ¡°A woman has been the one terrorizing packs?!¡± She gasped out.


    ¡°Yes. I also heard that she ran away from her native pack after killing her step father at the age of thirteen. She became a rogue, received shelter from an older rogue who happened to be an ex trained warrior. He trained her to be ruthless and deadly.¡± Mrs Gabrie recounted.


    ¡°He must have engraved the wrong ideologies in her head.¡± Meagan replied.


    Mrs Gabrie Damien shook her head. ¡°You are right.¡±


    ¡°I am scared. Does Carl have to go to war?¡± Meagan asked.


    ¡°Yes. The alphas are risking their lives to save the werewolves. And they have been working so hard to bring up ns and tactics to defeat the vampire rogues.¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien responded.


    ¡°I hope they win the war against the vampire rogues. When are they leaving?¡± Meagan questioned.


    ¡°In two days time.¡± Mrs Gabrie replied.


    ¡°I need to see Carl before he leaves for -¡± A knock on the main door interrupted her sentence.


    Mrs Gabrie Damien sniffed the air. ¡°Carl is here!¡± She stood up and went to the door.


    A small smile crept on Meagan¡¯s face but it didn¡¯t hide the worried expression. Carl came in when his mate was about to stand up from the couch.


    ¡°My love.. please sit.¡± He rushed towards her.


    Meagan sat back on the couch while alpha Carl crouched down in front of her. ¡°Carl-¡± Her voice trailed off. Seeing him made her realize how much she has missed him.


    ¡°I am sorry for noting to check on you.¡± He apologized.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Tears clouded her eyes as she reached out to touch his face. ¡°Have you been eating well?¡± She asked.


    ¡°Sure. I have just been busy working on some things.¡± He exchanged nces with his mother.


    ¡°She knows the truth.¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien said.


    Alpha Carl reached out to touch Meagan¡¯s belly. ¡°I know you are going to war with the other alphas to fight against the vampire rogues.¡± Meagan said.


    Alpha Carl looked up at her. ¡°I am sorry. I didn¡¯t want to tell you about it because I was scared of the effect it would have on you.¡± He sat down next to her on the couch.


    ¡°I know Carl.¡± She mumbled.


    ¡°We have prepared everything and I am certain we¡¯ll in this war. So don¡¯t worry too much.¡± Alpha Carl forced a smile on his face.


    He knew it wasn¡¯t going to be easy facing the vampire rogues but they are all willing to take the risks just to bring peace back to the lycan world.


    ¡°Carl, don¡¯t forget the promise you made to me.¡± Meagan held his hand and brought it down to her belly again.


    ¡°I won¡¯t die in the war. I¡¯ll return to be with you and our pups.¡± He leaned in and kissed her lips.


    ¡°You should get some sleep now. It iste.¡± He whispered.


    ¡°Are you leaving already?¡± A sad look crossed her expression.


    ¡°No, I have the day off to be with you.¡± Alpha Carl stood up from the couch and stretched out his hands to help her up.


    Meagan smiled. ¡°Really? I can-¡± a sharp pain in her belly caused her to sit back down on the couch.


    ¡°Are you okay?¡± Alpha Carl knelt down in front of her.


    ¡°I am.. feeling.. this pain-¡± Meagan yelped again when another wave of pain shot through her.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?!¡± Alpha Carl looked at his mother.


    ¡°The pups.. we should take her to the.. infirmary.. she is getting contractions!¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien stammered.


    ¡°Is it time?! Oh my goodness! I thought it is in two weeks time!¡± Carl panicked.


    ¡°She can have the pups at this point.¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien fired back at her son.


    ¡°Okay.. okay.. we should go to the infirmary.¡± Alpha Carl took out his cellphone. He told Beta Julius about the situation and gave out instructions to call the Theta.


    Mrs Gabrie Damien rushed into Meagan¡¯s room to bring the pups things while Carl already led his mate out of the house.  Meagan was in pains while Carl and his mother were under tension. The contractions hitting harder every two minutes, leaving her breathless and trembling when they finally reached the infirmary.


    The theta, Hazel, Julius and four other Iotas were waiting for their arrival outside the infirmary. Carl entrusted his mate and pups to the medical team. He was trying so hard to stay strong for them.

 EPISODE 80 Epilogue

    MOON STONE PACK


    Another contraction began with it relentlessly stretching and squeezing her muscles. Meagan gasped, wrapped her arms around her belly as they whisked her away for examination.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, she¡¯ll be fine.¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien assured her son.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    ¡°I want to be with her.¡± Alpha Carl said. He rushed to meet up with the team.


    ¡°Carl¡­¡± Meagan held out her hand towards him.


    ¡°I am right here.. my love. I am not going anywhere.¡± He held her hand.


    Her skin was cold and her heart rate was beating too fast. Alpha Carl felt blood drain out from his face when he was told to let go of his mate. He had to do it so they could examine her condition. Everyone seemed to be interested in the birth of the pups.


    Alpha Carl paced the waiting room with his mother and Beta Julius sitting on the bench. He tried praying to the moon goddess for the safe delivery of his pups but he was distracted by some pack membersing to the waiting area.


    About ten minutester, Hazel came out of the delivery room to see the alpha.


    ¡°How are my pups doing? How is my mate?¡± He asked.


    ¡°We still have to wait a few hours.¡± Haze replied.


    ¡°Wait? How many hours do we have to wait?¡± Carl demanded.


    ¡°Rx Carl.. it could take a while being her first delivery. Meagan is alright so don¡¯t panic. But you can never tell she can surprise us.¡± Hazel smiled.


    Alpha Carl was confused. ¡°What do you mean? Will she be needing surgery?¡± He demanded.


    Julius came to stand beside the alpha. ¡°Can Meagan have the pups herself? I mean without her needing surgery.¡± He asked.


    ¡°Meagan doesn¡¯t need surgery. And just so you know, some women deliver so quickly than expected.¡± Hazel answered.


    ¡°So we should just sit around and wait?¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien questioned.


    ¡°We have administered some injections and keeping a close watch on her. Meagan is fine. And I am sure she is capable of having the pups naturally.¡± Hazel maintained the happy smile on her face.


    ¡°That¡¯s good to hear.¡± Mrs Gabrie heaved a sigh of relief.


    ¡°She even wants me to get her a book to read or probably an headphone so she can listen to music.¡± Hazel giggled.


    Julius and Carl exchanged confused nces.


    ¡°Book?¡±


    ¡°Music?¡±


    ¡°Is this a joke?¡±


    The three wolves expressed at the same time.


    ¡°You can go in and check on her for now.¡± Hazel walked away briskly to get the demands of her best friend.


    The medical team in the ward bowed to the alpha before stepping out. But not after the Theta reassured the alpha that everything was under control.


    Alpha Carl saw the inhaler in his mate¡¯s hand. ¡°My love, are you alright?¡± Carl asked.


    Meagan nodded. ¡°I am alright. I just need to feel rxed.¡± She answered.


    ¡°Hazel already went out to get a book for you.¡± Mrs Gabrie Damien said.


    ¡°Did the Theta say anything about this?¡± Alpha Carl pointed at the inhaler.


    ¡°For my condition, it is risky to not have an inhaler for the pushing out process. I don¡¯t want surgery so this is the safest way.¡± Meagan exined.


    Alpha Carl Damien nodded his head in understanding as he leaned down to kiss her forehead. ¡°There won¡¯t be any problem.¡± He reassured her.


    Hazel came back with a book, her cellphone and an AirPod. Meagan settled for Carl to read the book to her hearing as they locked hands.

    EPILOGUE


    ONE HOUR LATER


    Meagan grabbed Carl¡¯s hand tightly as another contraction began. He was sitting on the bed while she leaned on his solid chest. Even alpha Carl could feel the painful stretch of her muscles and the tremor that shot through her body.


    Beta Julius was already dozing off as he leaned against the door. ¡°Julius! Get the theta now!¡± Alpha Carl snarled.


    Beta Julius eyes red opened. ¡°The theta-¡± his eyes caught Meagan whimpering. ¡°The pups! The theta!¡± He raced out of the room.


    Some secondster, the delivery room door swung opened and the medical team filed in.


    ¡°See to my mate!¡± Alpha Carly Meagan down gently on the bed.


    ¡°Don¡¯t leave.. Carl.¡± Meagan held onto his hand when the theta gave out instruction of everyone leaving the delivery room except for the team.


    ¡°Can I stay?¡± Alpha Carl requested.


    The theta in charge nodded yes as she pulled on a pair of tight thin rubber gloves. Alpha Carl¡¯s eyes narrowed as Meagan arched her back while the theta was doing an internal examination. He didn¡¯t like the fact that she was in pain even though the theta was trying to be careful.


    ¡°Is she okay? What about the pups?¡± Carl asked.


    ¡°The Luna is fully dted.¡± The theta smiled.


    ¡°So she can have the pups herself now?¡± Alpha Carl unclenched his tight jaw as he looked down at his mate.


    ¡°Yes. I need your help to make her feel rxed and safe. Press the inhaler into her mouth anytime she is feeling out of breathe during the push process.¡± The theta instructed.


    Alpha Carl Damien nodded his head in understanding and took the inhaler from Meagan.


    She gripped his hand. ¡°Carl, stay where I can see you.¡±


    Alpha Carl kissed her lips quickly. ¡°I am right here.¡±


    He felt like air was being squeezed out of his lungs. His mate and unborn pups needed him at the moment. Tension filled him again, he covered her hands with his and he stroked her cheeks before kissing her lips again.


    ¡°You can do this, my love.¡± He whispered.


    ¡°Are you ready, Luna?¡± The theta asked.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Meagan nodded.


    Sweats broke out on Carl¡¯s forehead after pressing the inhaler into Meagan¡¯s mouth before she made the first push. He swallowed hard and uttered profanities under his breathe. Meagan was in so much pain and alpha Carl wished that he could take the pain away for her.


    And at that point, nothing else mattered to him but Meagan and his pups. Alpha Carl Damien let out a sigh of relief when he heard a faint cry. His eyes watered when the second pup came out on the fourth push. Meagan was covered in so much sweats as alpha Carl pressed the inhaler to her mouth again.


    Meagan breathed out heavily and reopened her eyes. ¡°My babies¡­¡± She mumbled.


    ¡°They are doing fine. We¡¯ll clean them out.¡± The theta answered.


    ¡°I love you, Meagan.¡± Alpha Carl dered.


    ¡°Oh Carl.. I love you too.¡± Meagan cried as tears streamed down her cheeks.


    ¡°Alpha, would you like to cut the umbilical cords of the pups?¡± Hazel asked.


    ¡°Yes. But I don¡¯t know how to do it.¡± Alpha Carl replied between shaky breathe.


    Hazel smiled as she gestured to him toe closer. He went to the theta and was instructed on how to cut the cords.


    ¡°They look so much like you.¡± Hazelplimented.


    Alpha Carl was extremely happy as the theta positioned one of the pups in his big hands while Hazel gave the other pup to Meagan. Small fists and feet waved at them as the pups cried.


    ¡°Congrattions, alpha Carl and Luna Meagan.¡± The medical team bowed to them.


    ¡°Please raise your heads. Thank you for the great job.¡± Alpha Carl smiled brightly.


    ¡°So what name do you n to give he identical pups?¡± Hazel asked.


    ¡°The first one is Jayden.¡± Alpha Carl answered.


    ¡°And the second one is Jaylen.¡± Meagan added as she kissed the pup in her arms.


    ¡°Wow! Nice names for the identical pups.¡± Hazelmented.


    Alpha Carl felt so much alive after the tension within him disappeared. They gave back the pups to the medical team for cleaning up.


    Alpha Carl held Meagan¡¯s hands and kissed them. ¡°Thank you.¡± He said to the incredible woman he loves so much and who has carried and given birth to his pups.


    AUTHOR¡¯S NOTE.


    Alpha Carl Damien and his men went for the war against the vampire rogues and they won. The leader of the rogues was killed and her followers that survived the war were left with no choice but to surrender to the wolves.
