Happiness. When that word stirs within you is it merely just a feeling or is it every aspect of your life combined that uplifts you? Is it something that is naturally provided for you or do you build it step by step?
This word has a different meaning for me. It wasn’t something I created out of thin air, how could I when I had never experienced it growing up? Rather it is something I fought for with blood, sweat, and tears.
Especially with my male, it was the hardest of all journeys I had gone through, he made it painful to even dream of the word. When we met he had often killed me with cold daggers and resurrected me only to restart the process. We both possessed our harsh paths each with a painful past.
It took years for us to finally acknowledge the truth, the question he asked me a month ago still lingers within the depths of my mind. ‘Are you happy?’ He had asked me taking me by surprise. He couldn’t control the overflowing emotions inside him that it spilled out of his mouth.
‘I am happy.’ These were not just words thrown about. I said them from my soul and he could see it clear as glass. Our eyes often regard the other, past the looks of want and heat we once held. Our looks have changed to one of tenderness, love, and comfort.
So much has changed, he has become my family. The first wolf I can completely call mine. Though there are things of which he does not understand, my perspectives and such but he does his best to stand by me. His dominant nature stands still giving me my rightful place by his side. He regards me as an equal.
Little things. Little things like these piled upon the other bringing forth great joy and peace to me. “Wow, Luna sure is staring at you for quite a long Alpha.” Ragon says astonished and I am immediately thrown back to earth.
Deimos lets out a soft chuckle and so do the other wolves present at the table. He sips his coffee keeping his eyes on me and I look down at my hands placed upon my lap a soft burn to my cheeks. I was zoning out lost in my thoughts, I didn’t notice.
“What were you thinking about? This?” He asks placing his palm over his heart. “Or this?” He asks again placing his palm upon his cock. I let out a small laugh shaking my head.
Grabbing his arm I place his palm to his heart. “This,” I whisper. He smiles softly entangling our fingers taking it to his lips, a soft kiss to my wrist.
“I wonder what Luna was thinking about,” Ragon utters a sly smirk upon his face, wiggling his eyebrows eyes filled with mischief hinting something naughty.
A hard swat to the back of his head has him by surprise. Elriam quietly eats her toast as if nothing happened. “I know it was you, Elriam.” He growls.
“Was it? Are you sure about that? It could have been Alpha Giovanni sitting next to you.” She replies not paying him attention.
Gio chokes on his drink and swiftly shakes his head with wide eyes showing his innocence. The poor wolf he was only enjoying his breakfast. Sometimes I do not know if these are adult wolves or young juveniles.
“Must you ruin the fun, Elriam?” Ragon asks patting the back of his head to check for bumps. Elriam’s hits are quite strong.
“Making jokes about my Alpha is not fun, Ragon.” She replies meeting his eyes for the first time. Ragon opens his mouth to counterattack but Deimos stops it.
“All right, that’s enough Ragon.” Deimos orders and Ragon closes his mouth earning a sly smirk from Elriam. It might look as if they are always bickering but the reality is hidden. They are very close almost like siblings. They help the other out as their roles are the same.
“Is this what it would be like if our pups grew into juveniles?” Deimos asks looking at me making fun of Elriam and Ragon as the wolves around us begin to laugh. Both the betas’ cheeks turn into a bright hue of red as I join in the laughter.
After breakfast wolves clear the table as I help the older females in packing the leftovers in the kitchen. I have started to engage myself more in the kitchen learning to cook and such. I do not know why but it comes forth as an instinct to do so.
“Can you teach me how to make these next time?” I ask Maria. She is the kitchen head and she teaches me one dish a week. Some are Italian some are not. She bows in acknowledgement of my requested favour.
Small hands clutch onto my pants pulling the cloth down trying to acquire my attention. I kneel onto the floor so the pup can meet my eyes. “Hello there.” I greet her gently pushing a loose strand of hair behind her tiny ear.
Her eyes look up to the dish I have been packing. She wants one. “I don’t think so. Breakfast is over and look at your huge belly.” I say tickling her sides as she erupts into a small fit of giggles.
As soon as I halt my action, her eyes look back at the dish. I open my mouth to tell her no but she meets my eyes with a small pout looking as if she would cry any second. I am caught off guard. Getting up taking a piece I quickly give it to her. It is just one piece that won’t cause much harm. I don’t want her to cry.
I see the quick change of emotion in her face, the sad eyes disappear fast replaced by mischief. Before I could question her truth, she grabs it swiftly running out of the kitchen. I stand still astonished by what just happened.
“Luna would you like me to finish up?” Maria asks peeping into the kitchen pulling me from my surprise.
“It is quite all right. I will clean up, you can leave.” I reply whilst she leaves with a curt nod. Closing the lid of the box I grab it striding to the refrigerator. Placing it inside I begin to wipe the counter with a drenched towel.
Two large hands encage me and I flinch, calming as soon as his scent hits. His nose tucked into my neck he gives soft kisses to my flesh swaying us softy. “I do not know if you are too nice or just blind?” He asks.
“What do you mean?” I question frowning confused.
“That pup clearly was putting on a show. That’s how they get things done, by acting upset or cute.” He chuckles.
“You saw that?” I ask biting my lower lip.
“Yes, it was quite funny in terms of how you reacted.” He whispers with a chuckle. “You will spoil them Lumina.” He says.
