It was a beautiful morning. Melissa opened her eyes as the sun hits her face. She smiled loving the heat. Her hand roam over the side beside her on the bed but when she found the space empty she frowned a little. She had expected Raphael to still be in bed but knowing how passionate he was about his work, he woke up very early every day to start his morning duties. He has grown the pack so well. Other neighboring packs always come over to take some advice from us.
He sure is a true king alpha and everyone loves him for all his good work. He is a great example to the whole werewolf kingdom and is highly respected.
She smiled proudly loving the fact that he was hers alone. Who would have thought that all their fight turned out to be love? She could remember the look on his face when he found out that she was the spy Ronald sent to the palace
" I'm happy," she said to herself. She got down from the bed and stretched her body. She yawned so loudly feeling hunger hit in.
" I need some damn food," she said as she rubbed her stomach. Now that she was eating for two, her food routine has changed a lot. She always gets hungry because of the hunger she feels at all times.
She went to the bathroom to do her business and a few minutes later she came out looking refreshed. Pregnancy does look good on her. It makes her glow. Some of the female wolves get jealous of her skin. At some point, Melissa thinks it's the powers she possesses that help her achieve this beautiful skin and body of hers. Her skin is like milk so silky and bright.
She doesn't need to apply any lotion. It's just a waste, that's how she sees it. She put on her clothes. It was a black top and a pair of Jean trousers. The stomach isn't big that much so it was easy to put on jeans.
She stared at herself through the mirror and smiled at her reflection. Melissa put on her boots. She put up her hair into a ponytail.
She finally made her way out to the big living room where the others were. It was a big mansion so the alpha welcomed her friends to stay with them. Ashley, Lena, and even her brother Ethan all live here. But they sometimes go back to their various houses during the weekends
She felt sad. She lost her adoptive parents a few months back. They fell Sick due to Some unknown sickness. Their old age made the sickness circulate through their body quickly. They gave up the ghost but she was glad they died happily as if they expected it to happen.
She trotted down the stair. The maids walking by stopped to greet their Luna and she answered admirably. She was a sight to behold and no one is like her. She is a Luna and well-respected cos of how she carries herself.
"Look who finally graced us in her presence," Ashley said jokingly.
Lena tried to hit her. She wanted her to give her some respect as she is the Luna. Even though she is still their friend, they believe she needs to be respected.
" oh please. I was so tired last night. I had to wake up late "
They all wiggled their brows at her " what were you doing? The alpha must have been so rough. I see" Lena teased
Melissa gasped. She wasn't expecting them to say something like that. She turn to see if anyone heard them but luckily for her no one heard " that's gross"
"How are you and the alpha making love gross? You should be proud you have him to yourself " Ashley teased again. Something felt strange with Ashley. She is a little bit blunt these days. She at times watches what she says but this time she just says what comes out of her mouth.
" you seem to be too blunt today " Lena pointed out and Ashley shrugged
" I guess I woke up intending to be blunt today"
" that doesn't count " Ethan who had been busy with his phone finally said. He got up and said " ladies I need to leave. I have something important to do at the moment "
They excused him and he left
The ladies were quiet for a while as if thinking about what to say or what was bothering them
" guys, I found out what happened at the neighboring pack," Ashley said all of a sudden
"What is that ?" Lena seem interested while Melissa was so confused. She doesn't know what they were talking about and she is the Luna she has all the right to know before anyone else
" what is it you two are talking about ?"
" you don't know ?" Lena asked surprised. Melissa shook her head " know what? What is going on ?"
" the packs not far from us got attacked by some rogues. It was bloody. They lost a lot of soldiers "
She was hearing this for the first time. Raphael didn't even think of telling her, she thought to herself " he didn't mention it to me"
" I'm very sure he doesn't want you to be worried "
" No! That's not the case. He always does this and it's getting tiring already. I don't want to be left out of things I should know first " she was getting vexed " what if the pack members who aren't close to me get to ask me about this and then I have no idea about it, how do you think they will see me? They will think I'm not capable enough to be a Luna "
Lena shushed her up " don't you ever say that. Raphael must have a good reason for keeping it from you and I know one of them is the fact that you are pregnant. He didn't want you to be worried about stuff like this "
" but still that shouldn't stop him from telling me. I'm capable of handling things even when I am pregnant. Don't you trust me ?"
"of course we trust you but you need to please calm down. You are stressing yourself over nothing ." They pointed out and she took a deep breath
" yes, you are right. I could be worried over nothing after all. I need to take a chill pill" she rolled her eyes at what she said and her friends burst out laughing
" the pregnancy must be doing a lot to your "
" my emotion is always everywhere all the time. I feel so fed up quickly and I think you are right about him not telling me immediately. I need to be patient" she sighed
" yeah you need to be "
" days like this I miss Jemima. She will be the first person to keep you on your toes ."
Jemima found her mate and he is also an alpha. The first time they met, he refused to let go. Jemima's story reminds Mel of her own love life with Raphael. Theirs were filled with pains and regrets. It ended up fine anyways, she thought to herself
" the last time we conversed, she said she will be at the pack anytime. It might be sudden or she might inform us " Mel told them
" I don't know why it's so hard to be together. Ethan is kind and caring. I feel so lucky to have him as mine. I don't know what would happen to me if he didn't come into my life. My life would have been nothing without him in it " Lena said with a smile on her face
" that's not so nice of you two. You two are making me jealous right now" Ashley pouted. Being the only one without a mate has been so hard on her
Mel and Lena shared a look. They didn't mean to be too cheesy in front of her but the situation calls for it. Thinking about their mate makes them feel some longing. They feel some type of way they never knew they will feel before. It's so hard to explain.
They finally ended the conversation since it was getting to Ashley. Not having a mate is having a toil on her. She feels so lonely and needed one. Her friends had advised her to try moving to another pack. It's possible her mate isn't one of their tribe. He might be a specie of another tribe. Nothing is impossible with werewolves.
Some things might look strange but they matter a lot when it comes to the werewolf world. They have lots of rules and regulations. Ashley can also end up getting married to a werewolf who isn't her mate but the probability of meeting her mate when she gets married to another is what bothers her. The pull mates have for each other is so hard to explain. It is strong and forever lasting
No matter how hard she might think she loves this other person, just smelling her mates will make her forget any other person. That is what she fears. She isn't ready to break anyone as she doesn't want to be broken either.
