“Pardon me, Alpha Seth. Would you just give us a moment?
When a voice greeted them from behind, Seth and Edith’s steps came to a stop. Seth turned and saw a guy and a woman with eagle feathers on their hair, dressed in Native American attire. Both smiled warmly, and Seth returned the favour by smiling as well.
“We are Alpha and Luna of the Moon Warrior Pack. I am Alpha Chocise, and she is Luna Simi. We helped your mother give birth when you were born on our tribe’s reservation.”
Seth tried to remember what Chocise had said. His mother had told him how things were when he was born.
“Ah, I remember. My mother told me about it. My father was visiting his uncle when my mother was pregnant with me. How is North Carolina now, Alpha?”
“We’ve got a handle on those rogue bandits. Our pack territory has been much better this past year. It’s all thanks to your uncle, Zach. He’s a tough fighting wolf.”
“I’m glad to hear that,” Seth replied.
The Alpha pulled out a medium-sized box from his leather bag and held it out to Seth.
“We want to give you something. We hope you’ll accept it. This is a gift from us. When you were a child, my wife also made one for you, and hopefully this time, our gift can be useful for your daughter.”
Seth accepted the box that was held out to him. He opened it and showed Edith the contents.
“Dreamcatcher?” said Edith, taking it out of the box.
Edith lifted the brown hoop and net object into the air. Edith was mesmerised by the beauty of the beads and feathers hanging from each end.
“Thank you; this is very beautiful. Did you make it yourself?” Edith asked Luna.
“Yes, we always hang them in our windows. We believe that dreamcatchers can catch good dreams. I see you also wear a similar bracelet with your husband. It is a symbol of love and an eternal bond that every couple in our tribe wears.”
Edith turned her gaze to Seth. She had no idea what the meaning behind the bracelet was. Since her birthday, Edith had never taken off the bracelet Seth had given her. She cherished it very much.
“I gave it to her on her 17th birthday. I asked my father about the gift I should give you, and he suggested this bracelet,” Seth added to warm up their conversation.
Edith blushed as it turned out that the small gift Seth had given her had such a big and deep meaning. She obviously loved simple things like this.
“Thank you; this means a lot to us, Luna,” Edith said as she bowed halfway to the wolf couple.
“We’ll take our leave; it was nice talking to you.”
Seth and Edith smiled back at them. After watching the two couples move away from where they stood, Seth continued his story: “My mother once told me that I had been plagued by evil spirits in the tribe’s land. They still have strong beliefs about evil spirits and stuff like that.”
Seth had led Edith out of the room and into the open air. They stopped beside a pond with a small fountain in the centre.
“My grandfather was a werewolf of American descent and a native of North Carolina. He settled in London after meeting his mate and having my father. He built the Red Crescent Moon until it was powerful and influential in the werewolf realm. After he became Supreme Alpha, he passed his throne down to my father. Every now and then, my father travelled to North Carolina to see my battle-crazed uncle, and he was last there when I was born.”
Seth took Edith’s hand and touched the bracelet she had given him. He looked at the bracelet deeply as he took a breath and said, “When I gave this to you, I hoped that we would never be separated. Yeah, even though we live in modern times, my father still believes in the tribe’s beliefs. I just follow him; even without the meaning of this bracelet, I will never let you go as long as I breathe.”
Seth took Edith into his arms. He caressed Edith’s blonde hair, which felt smooth in his hand. Images of the story of their love journey flashed through his mind. His efforts to win Edith’s heart made him smile. The sweetness and the bitterness had already been tasted.
“I really enjoyed the process. Having you in my life is a gift from the Moon Goddess that I am very grateful for. You accept all my strengths and weaknesses. I am very happy about that.”
“Oh, Seth, I am touched to hear that.”
“You know right now your pheromone scent is very strong, baby. I think I know what makes you like that.”
Edith looked deeply into Seth’s brown eyes. She saw the sincerity in those eyes. Edith felt the shade as Seth kissed her forehead. Both got lost in their hot night, which ended with a long, uninterrupted sleep until the next day.
Edith opened her eyes. She saw goose feathers flying above her bed. Edith straightened up and sat in her seat. She saw that her hotel room was as chaotic as if it had been hit by a tornado. She looked to the side and saw Seth sleeping on his back.
Edith saw that Seth’s back had many long wounds that were beginning to close. She tried to remember what happened last night after they arrived at the party. Edith was shocked and covered her mouth after successfully remembering last night’s steamy.
Edith touched the scars on Seth’s back slowly and grimaced as if she shared the pain of the wounds.
“Ouch, shh…” Seth responded with a hoarse voice due to the touch of Edith’s finger on his back.
“I’m sorry, Seth! I didn’t realise I was doing it. Please be quiet for a while; I’ll heal it first.”
“Let it go; I’m sure you’re still exhausted. After all, wolves have gotten used to getting harmed. It will recover itself.
Seth turned to face Edith and said, “Even when you wake up, you look beautiful!”
“Don’t keep flirting with me; you’ll lose control.”
“I’m always captivated by your beauty.” Seth played along.
“Oh, come on. Do you want to keep getting hurt like that, Seth?” Edith retorted, rolling her eyes.
Seth was already showing a flat face. He would have overreacted if Edith had made such a move.
“I don’t care if you’re tired; you’re rolling your eyes again.”
Seth roughly pushed Edith’s body to lie back on the bed. He had already buried his face in Edith’s neck and left many traces there. Edith moaned in pleasure as her sensitive spot down there was touched by Seth.
Seth lowered his face to the folds of her body. He opened Edith’s legs and continued to play his tongue on Edith’s insides. Squeezing it while occasionally biting the sensitive spot down there.
Seth withdrew his face after Edith reached her climax. He could feel Edith’s body trembling from his actions. Afterwards, he just looked at Edith’s innocent body flatly.
Edith was surprised that Seth suddenly stopped. Her desire was still raging, but Seth was just silent.
What are you doing?”
