I left the room to join Greg in ours. On the way, I passed Pam who had swollen and red eyes. Probably from having cried a lot. I smiled, and with her face, she will quickly forgive her husband. He will therefore not have to sweat tears and blood to be forgiven.
The lucky one.
I just hope the situation with Elsa will get better soon. There is nothing more important than a mother and arguing with yours is stupid. I would so much have liked to think like this on that famous day, but I behaved like a fool. Maybe if I had had to listen to her, to stay, everything that happened smeared would not have happened.
Or am I just trying to convince myself? Indeed, Mom knew nothing of her father's macabre plans or the fate of her pack after she left. I think she would have been in the same situation as me, or worse, given that I was lucky enough to be spotted by Greg who did everything to find me a place to live, it is obvious that with Mom, things would have gone off the rails and I'll be on the side of those dirty murderers.
I sighed thinking about everything that had happened so far. I wonder why these people are so calm. I'm sure my grandfather is up to something and it won't bode well.
I walked into the bedroom before finding Greg coming out of the bathroom. Oh goodness, what a sexy man. Just seeing him now destroys my worries.
He looked up at me before smiling.
" Do you like the view?"
He spoke teasingly and I blushed, returning his smile.
" Indeed, I like it."
I walked over to him, hugging him as he pecked me. I frowned, not understanding this distance and he sighed.
" Given that these old scoundrels have already set the date for the competition, it would be unfair for me to continue to spray you with my pheromones."
I frowned, not understanding at all what he meant. He probably understood, beckoning me to follow him.
I obeyed and that's how I found myself sitting on his thighs. He caressed my back giving me butterflies in my stomach before resting his head on my shoulder.
" Listen, baby, I too am dying but until the end of the competition, I no longer have the right to make love to you."
" I don't understand, what does this competition have to do with our bed stories?"
I was a little annoyed there. I want him to take me tonight but he talks bullshit to me. I pouted to the side as he tried to calm me down.
" Come on baby, understand the situation. The sex between us is not just for fun. It is a link that we establish, where our essences mingle with each other. You marked me and I did the same for you. Our souls are one, when we sleep together, I share my strength with you as I feed off yours."
I pulled the face not including/understanding.
" Look at this. Consider that my cock is a bridge inside you that passes our energies back and forth, Do you kinda get the picture?"
I blushed, putting my hand over his mouth.
"Don't say such perverse things like that."
He smiled before kissing my palm.
" So it's like this, every time we sleep together, you take a little of my strength, and knowing that my pheromones are of rare power, you just appropriate them."
I swallowed before looking at Greg.
" It means that…"
" Yes, I too appropriate your strength. I've been feeling weird sensations inside of me for some time now. It's strange but not oppressive."
" Do you think that even my alfe side mixes with you?"
Greg remained calm. Mystical relationships among lycans are really strange. Once the partners have accepted, marked and united, sex is no longer just a means of pleasure or procreation. This takes on another mystical aspect that causes the companions to begin to feel the power of the other within them. It is indeed that which put the chip in the ear to him as for the deep nature of Sophia.
What he felt in him coupled with what she had shown him the first time she manifested her alfe part, he was certain that there was not only wolf in her but something more.
But here, we are talking about a competition that these old bastards want to use to discredit the Luna he chose. If they sense the fresh and recent strength and possessiveness of his pheromones on Sophia, it's obvious they're going to scream favoritism and make sure Sophia doesn't qualify instead of Luna.
He'll kill them after this, he swears.
He looked at Sophia hoping that she wouldn't insist because even if he knows it was the best thing to do, he isn't sure he can push her away if she insists.
Sophia sighed and he smiled reassuringly.
"Good, but after that, I insist that we catch up."
Greg nodded and that was how the days passed quickly and it was competition morning.
Greg left early that day as I sat with Pamela and Elsa in the car provided for the Luna title contenders. It pissed me off the name of this competition.
To believe that these old bastards have not understood that I am already the lover of their Alpha, that he marked me as much as I did. We love each other, ah this lycan society comes out of my ears but after listening to Elsa's explanation, I can understand a lot of things.
It often happens, especially for the Alpha, to choose his spouse but she is rejected by the moon goddess because she is not his predestined mate. Likewise, the pack may choose Luna as their Alpha, and in the end, the couple receives the Moon Goddess' blessing even though the two do not like each other.
Of course, it happens that despite it being imposed on them, the couple ends up falling in love, this is the case of Elsa and her late husband. But it happens that the spouses never feel love for each other and cases of cheating will exist. But even if they cheat, they have no right to reject each other or cause the death of one of the spouses. Otherwise, it's the thorn.
This is the case with Greg's parents. His dad didn't like his mom and kept cheating on her with every woman that passed by. The woman never felt hurt or at least maybe hid it because she knew it was a union of convenience.
It caused her death.
I'm lucky because my alpha and I love each other passionately. I looked at Elsa who was explaining to me how the competition was going and I smiled. She seemed to be doing better.
We arrived at the competition venue, a large flat field with stands around it and I wanted to scream in frustration. I felt like a fairground beast that had come to the gallery for fun. I really should go through this to be with Greg. I looked up at the grandstand and saw him. Despite the mask, I knew his gaze was gentle and encouraging. So, taking it upon myself, I sighed looking straight in the face.
There were four women including Serena looking at me with disgust and hatred. Ah, they're my rivals for Greg's heart. Although his heart, I already have it.
The competition was about to start, we were all focused on this event without imagining that in town, things were moving. Unprecedented misfortune was soon to strike Capital City and its repercussions would forever upset its balance.
