I needed to do something, there were days we didn’t have
no response from the wolves that Jack placed to hunt the territory
of the strays, they hunted for days and found nothing. And the
tension in the pack only increased, the females did not feel
safe to stay in the city after sunset.
"Bunch of useless males."
The main target was still on my back, they were behind
me, wanted to use me to destroy Jackson and everything we were
struggling to build. The promise I made to Victoria and the females
swarmed in my mind at all times, even when I
put his head on the pillow to sleep, could not take
that promise of the head.
I’ve been hunted and hunted my whole life, fought every day for
survive, faced more enemies I can count on, I knew
recognize the approach of a dangerous threat. The
straying were many, scattered throughout the packs, but their
leader was among us, the Alpha of that gang was acting in those
land, if we destroy it, we weaken others and it would be easier
find them after we’ve finished with your leadership.
I could feel your looks on me every time I walked by
city, knew it was being monitored at all times, until
when I was with Jack, but they wouldn’t dare attack me
when I was with the Supreme, they would wait for the right moment and
I wouldn’t waste this opportunity.
I promised that I would protect my people, the females, fight to the end to
fulfill that promise, even if it destroyed me. I was
coming up the time to show how willing I was to bleed to
save my family.
— You look beautiful— Jack’s voice woke me up.
I blinked a few times in front of the mirror and found him behind me,
watching me with a smile on my face, admiring me as if I
was the most fascinating thing he’s ever seen in his entire life.
I opened a faint smile as I felt him leave a kiss on the mark on my
right shoulder, the mark of the Labonair lineage. The red dress
blood of fallen shoulders that I wore had a generous neckline, 0
fabric fit perfectly to my body, enhancing my
curves. I finished putting the staples in my hair thrown to
one side of my neck before Jack held me from behind, breathed
deep, enjoying the warmth of your body and its comforting touch.
— I am grateful to the Moon for having you in my life— whispered in my ear,
my throat closed.
I turned and stood before Jack, hugging his neck, his arms
wrapped around my waist. I leaned our foreheads and closed my eyes,
just enjoying the moment, allowing your warmth and your smell
to calm that agitation inside me.
— Are you okay?— asked after a few seconds in silence.
I nodded and opened my eyes, finding your gaze on
me, staring at me with intensity, as if I could see the fear that
I tried to hide it from him at any cost.
— No lies between us, little wolf— he reminded me. — No need
hide nothing from me.
— I know— I replied, hoarse.
— So don’t pretend to be okay when you’re not.
I ran my nails lightly through his neck, watching him shudder with
my touch.
— I will only be well when the strays are all dead,
Only then will I have peace again.
A glimmer of remorse flashed through Jack’s face quickly. He
slipped his thumb down my chin.
— I will not rest until I find them— guaranteed.
— I know— said again. — I trust you.
Jack tilted his head and his lips found mine, starting
a slow, deep kiss. I sighed softly when your tongue
slipped into my mouth, held your hair, me
delivering that kiss like it’s the last time, my heart was
squeezed into my chest.
Panting softly when your lips left mine to slide
up to my neck, left a little bite next to my collarbone,
up your kisses until they reach my mouth again, taking
my breath. My knees failed by the heat wave that made me
trembling, Jack held me tighter, binding me to his body.
We finished the kiss with kiss, a smile opened on my lips, the
Jack’s breath rubbed against my blushing face.
— I need to finish getting ready— I murmured, rubbing my hands
on his chest.
Jack let out a grunt, trying to kiss me again.
— Why can’t I resist you?— muttered unconfirmed,
nibbling on my lower lip.
I held the lapels of your black tuxedo and lowered my eyes for your
body, my chest rose with that vision so tempting and delicious. Jack
opened a smug smile and winked at me.
— You want a bib?
I hit him on the shoulder, hearing his hoarse laugh. I approached him and
I whispered against his lips:
— You look very attractive, Supreme. You’ll attract the looks of many wolves
offered— grumbled twisting his nose, seeing his smile widen.
— I only have eyes for you, wild wolf— bit my chin
sensually.
— It’s good to know that I have you on a leash to me— I provoked you,
his body shook with its laughter.
Jack stared at me with fun dancing in his eyes and a smile
open on the lips that I loved to kiss, he admired me for some
seconds. I took the opportunity to fix the crooked tie of the tuxedo, the
putting in place.
After much insistence from me and reluctance from Jackson, he
Finally let me go and I could finish getting ready, arrested a couple
of earrings in my ears, putting on my heels next.
It took me a few minutes to get ready, I applied a lipstick
red on my lips, hearing Jack’s whistle.
— You look dazzling, my love— approached.
When I understood his intention, it was too late. Jackson’s arms
wrapped my waist and pulled me against his body.
— We already talked about it, we have a wedding to go to.
There was a mixture of passion and warmth in your eyes that left me
speechless.
— The ceremony can wait a few minutes.
I dared not reply.
(....)
The whole forest was decorated in detail with flower arrangements
white and lights hanging on the branches of trees, chairs of
wood scattered through the clearing where the ceremony would take place, a
path of rose petals would lead the bride to her groom and the elder who
perform the marriage rituals. The place was full, wolves of others
Packs have come to celebrate the union of the Alpha and its destined.
The conversation ceased when Jack and I stepped in, the looks
were quickly directed at both of us, mainly by
being alone, without any reinforced security. It did not exist
no sane creature would try to attack Jack and me. The
wolves bowed their heads in reverence as we passed them,
kept my chin up and my face sketching an expression of
indifference, I pressed Jack’s arm with a little more force
when we pass by Camila, the wolf still the audacity to smile
Jackson, he just ignored her.
We sat in the first chairs, Jack kept holding my
hand all the time. Ayla didn’t take long to arrive, Mark was a pile
of nerves next to the elder. We stood when she arose,
dazzling with her bright blue dress, we didn’t have the
custom of wearing white in marriage ceremonies, she
held a bouquet of roses and carried a huge smile on his face, the
eyes shone like precious jewels as he watched his partner
waiting with the same joy.
Ayla walked quietly down the corridor of white petals, feet
barefoot on the grass of the forest. She was radiant, lavished
happiness in every piece of the body, the soft smell of joy flooded
the air. The female smiled at me as she passed Jack and I, and stopped before the
groom, a bow of flowers was over their heads. Mark held his hand
of his partner and left a kiss on his forehead, tears shone in
her eyes.
The elder raised his hands, a red cloak with the symbol of
pack of Mark on his shoulders, we sit as the
ordinance. Jack left a kiss on our fingers entwined, smiles
take to it.
— Before we begin the ceremony, at the request of the bride, let us
minute of silence in memory of our sister Victoria we lost there
a week ago.
Blinked a few times to keep the tears from my eyes
emotion for that last tribute to Victoria. I waved in gratitude to
Ayla when she looked at me, she reciprocated the gesture. A symbolic silence
hovered over the wolves for a long minute, and soon the elder gave
continuity of the ceremony.
— Children of the Moon, we gather tonight to celebrate the union of the
our Alpha and his partner. Today, before all, they will become one
flesh and one heart, united as long as they live.
