The Couple

Celia

Last night was too thrilling for me. Although grandma and Jeanne are still not on talking terms with me, Mary gave me a lot of information about werewolves and their lives. How they meet their wolves or how long they can live and how they fake their deaths and live secretly in their wolf forms in nearby forests. How all the packs are settled near forests so they stay near nature or our… their pack’s name is Wild Moon Pack.

How their title of Alpha passes down in family until someone challenges the Alpha and defeats him in every manner like decision making, on spot decisions, handling matter and lastly the fight. Or the pack members refuse to obey him and choose another alpha to replace him but the appointed person needs to defeat the Alpha before he takes over if not the Alpha kills him and leaves the pack. Then the king handles the matter.

She told me about their traditions and cultures and their ranking system. How she has a lot on her plate when their traditions will start but once I will there too handle the affairs she will be free and have a lot of time. She has handled the affairs from the age of 21 years when Ethan took his oath.

Although I was excited to know more and more. But it was still a lot of information for me to learn in one day. I had to keep repeating them over and over so I could memorize them.

I know it is too early to think of marriage or future with Chris but the way he is too confident about me and us. It gives me hope and strength. But I still need time to accept this culture, understand their traditions and them.

For now, I am just worried about my friendship with J and my relationship with grandma.

All night long, I had Chris’s bulge poking in my belly, lower back or between my legs. It was such a torture to not help him or myself with our lust for each other. Distance worked over both of us. I remember Mary told me last night how she and Ethan spent most of their time in the woods in their cabin in their early years and still many times they stayed there. It is just she is pregnant and don’t have sex frequently. Otherwise, once Chris heard even their dry humping and was annoyed.

But I was a bit embarrassed how I woke him up last night and called him Alpha. It was Mary who warned while dealing with him. She said I can’t anger him because he doesn’t like people annoying him and specially challenging him. Maybe, it was just that she shared her experience.

While telling me about everything, Mary gave my leg a massage. It was quite helpful. I can walk now with some support but now Chris does not need to carry me around or push my wheelchair. I walked downstairs with Chris beside me assuring I got every move right.

During breakfast, I saw J smiling. It was a satisfactory smile like she got something after her overly thrown tantrum. I really want to ask her the reason for her happiness but I don’t want to spoil the food for everyone here. I don’t want Chris to leave for the office in a sour mood. And since we’re going to talk to her today so not going to ruin my chances with her.

We were just finished with breakfast when their maid came in to inform everyone of the presence of my parents. I was shocked with the news. They didn’t inform me they were coming, I didn’t tell them what happened. How come they are here suddenly and how do they know I am here because they are directly here with their bags.

They both looked so tired. They must have driven all night just to get here this early morning. I don’t know what they know and how much they know. But they surely know something as they both grow old suddenly with all the stress worked over them.

I walked in their direction slowly with Chris holding my one hand. The smile spread across their faces as they both saw me alive and walking.

“Mom… Dad” I hugged both of them. A tear slipped down the cheek of my dad while mom was holding herself back very well. I could feel my dad having a breath finally as he hugged me like his life depended on it. Even after I pulled back, he wouldn’t let go of me. He was either holding me in a side hug or just holding my hand but I never felt losing his touch for a second.

“How come you both are here, suddenly?”

“You shifted here and you forgot we’re your parents.” Mom scolded me.

“What were you thinking when you decided to agree to the plan of that bastard son of a bitch? You didn’t think of your old man once? What would I have done if something would have happened to you?” I never saw dad this low.

“He threatened me with their life, with your life daddy. How could I have thought twice before agreeing?” I heard my own broken, stammering voice. Dad pulled me into another hug. Seeing them like this, made me realise what could have I lost? They are the most valuable treasure to them and they were the reason I put myself in that situation.

“How did you both get to know about all that?” I asked, wiping my own tears.
