Nicklaus’s POV
We shifted into our wolf forms and walked to the peak together, making a loud howling sound. Others shifted into their wolf forms and replied by making more howling sounds.
“My name is Lethal,” my wolf form said to Gabby’s wolf form, and she replied, “My name is Leah. Finally, we meet.”
“Yes, and I am so happy because I have been waiting forever for this chance with you.”
“Me too.”
“Let’s run a little to stretch our bones,” he said.
“Okay, let’s do that together.”
I could feel the excitement between them, and we had a great time running in the woods.
Waking up in the morning with my wife beside me, looking so beautiful while she was still asleep, makes me happy. I can’t forget everything about last night; it was the best ever.
I kissed her cheek and said, “Good morning, my love.”
She stretched on the bed and yawned loudly, saying, “Good morning, dear. I am so tired; I need a lot of rest right now.” She held me tight on the bed.
“Please don’t leave the bed yet; I want to remain this way for a while, holding you,” she said, and I smiled, looking at her as I played with her beautiful hair. “Sure, I can remain here all day if that’s what you want. Anything to make you happy, I am willing to do it for you, my everything.” I kissed her again, and she let out a beautiful smile.
“You are the best, and I am glad to be here with you,” she said, still sounding a little bit sleepy. I allowed her to get all the rest she could get and didn’t attend to anything because she is important right now, and other things can wait to be attended to.
I had a little thought about Jessica. What if Jessica failed to find the truth and ended up bringing us danger? What if the witch kills her and appears with her face to cause more havoc? And what if she is the one we should have been watchful of for a while now? I don’t know why, but I keep having these negative feelings these days, and I am really concerned about it. I will see what more information I can get from that lady; there must be something she heard or saw that can be useful to us.
A few moments later, I decided to get out of bed without disturbing her rest at all. Today was the last day of the celebration, and I needed to make sure everything was ready because lots of people would also be invited to grace the occasion. But it will be strictly by invitation, just to avoid inviting the enemies. I don’t want anything to go wrong today; everything should go smoothly, just as it did yesterday.
I met with Mateo, and he told me the Nightwalker has been taught our ways here. I said to him, “I know I can always count on you.”
“I will do anything to make you, the alpha, happy and safe.”
“Can you not say that out loud? People listening might get the wrong idea, you know? I have a wife who will always make me happy, and I will be the one to keep you safe.”
“I know you mean to say thank you.”
“Seems you want a death wish, right?” He smiled, saying, “No, I don’t. I better run for my life now.” He said, taking his leave, and I smiled. I have no friends here in this pack, but Mateo is the true best friend I have. Though I don’t show it completely, I will always make sure nothing bad happens to him. I know he’s got my back, just the way I’ve got his back as well.
I exited the place I was in to see the woman. Upon getting there, her eyes were fixed on the TV screen, watching a TV program. As soon as she saw me, she stopped watching and looked a bit scared.
“Relax, you don’t need to be scared whenever you see me. If I wanted to do something evil to you, I would have done it long ago. But look at you, already getting better in my home.”
“Thank you for looking after me,” she later said.
“You’re welcome. I came here to ask you a few questions about the incident, and I want you to tell me everything without hiding a single piece of information from me. It’s just me here, so you can spill.”
“I give you my word. I will answer your questions based on what I know,” she said, looking ready to divulge everything to me once I asked the questions.
“Good, tell me, what else did you see? Also, did you hear anything that could be useful to lead us to them?”
“No, I didn’t. Everything I told you is all that I could remember. I’m sorry, I really can’t help give you the answers you desire so much. I am truly sorry,” she said, and I felt disappointed. But what else could I do? I can’t shout at her or hit her for not giving me the answers I desire the most, but at least I tried, even if I got nothing from it at all.
“Enjoy the rest of the TV program, then. I will take my leave right now.” She nodded, and I took my leave.
“Relax, it’s just a matter of time. We will get the enemies and end this pending war once and for all,” Lethal said to me.
“I will try.”
“Let your focus be on the last celebration today. After that, you can worry about others later on.”
“Yes, you are right. Let me do that, but I am worried. Jessica is still not back.”
“Jessica is a powerful witch, so nothing can really come close to her, let alone harm her, unless she permits it herself.”
“What would I have done without you, Lethal? I am so happy you are my wolf form. Let’s get back to today’s business.”
I called on those planning the whole celebration and checked everything they have gotten so far. I said to them, “This is not up to my Luna’s taste. Do something she would love, and let it be in a grand style, okay?”
“Yes, Alpha.”
“And hurry up. It’s tonight, and I don’t want any delay or anything to ruin it at all. Do you get that?”
“Yes, Alpha. We promise not to disappoint you at all.”
