Gathering

The cute she-wolf smoothed my hair, stepping back to look up at me breaking out in a close-lipped smile.

“Selene-alpha, you look breathtaking.” She finished by saying, cheeks turning red.

I smiled not bothering to reply, waiting for her to finish so I could take the small bag and together we left the room.

Outside I saw Astrid standing among a few she-wolves, she looked happy, the feel and look were natural.

Her smile was infectious. I’ve never seen her so happy not even when she looked at her pup so a smile graced my face.

“Selene-alpha, you look beautiful in your human attire.”

“Selene-alpha, can I sniff you?”

“Selene-alpha, can I stand by your side later?” I pursed my lips at the various howls and snarls coming from the pack of females. I allowed them to continue a while longer, waiting for the immortal who will teleport us to the gathering. When she arrived, I cut them off through the alpha bond, asking, ‘everyone is prepared, yes?’
