Chapter 13

Alice

It was a beautiful night we had. The most stellar sex I have ever had was with him. And now I was waking up in his arms wrapped around me. The sunlight seeped through the blinds and its warmth spread slowly in the room. I snuggled onto Harvey and took a deep breath of his woody scent.

Maybe because I moved too much, I woke him up accidentally. He groaned a bit and opened his eyelid which still looked so heavy. A smile spread on his lips while his fingers brushed my caramel blond hair.

"Hey, Baby." He said with his gentle voice.

"Hey."

"Have a good sleep?" He asked me again.

I nodded. Of course. It was the best sleep I've ever had. Partially I was too tired because of our endless sex. And the other was because I felt strangely safe and comfortable on this bed with him. Sleeping with his arms hugging me tightly. Almost as if Harvey had become the haven for me in only a few hours.

"Wanna go somewhere today?" He asked while lying on his side and facing me.

I didn't know when this habit started, but I loved being close to him so much. Feeling our skin against each other and the warmth spread to our body. On top of that, Harvey's smell was just so intoxicating for me. His woody scent that smells like winter felt like the rightest smell that went into my system.

"I don't know. I have no plan at all, you know." I answered while my finger circled her chest unconsciously.

He went silent for a while. I knew he must be thinking about our plan today. What are the most entertaining things we could do? And something similar like that. Then he smiled while looking into my eyes.

"Wanna meet the pack?"

His suggestion ignited my enthusiasm. At first, I thought I would never like to be in this place. Moreover, to live surrounded by these so-called monsters. It never occurred to me that I would gladly come back here. And now, I even felt so much euphoria knowing that I would meet each one of them soon.

The pack. My pack. My family.

"Sounds good. Do I need to wear something casual or fancy?" I asked, genuinely confused because everything was indeed a new thing for me.

Harvey laughed. Oh, God. What a sweet laugh he had. I could feel my heart resonating in the same beat as his laughter.

"Anything is fine, Baby. You will look good either way."

I let out a protest because what kind of answer was that? I was puzzled about this werewolf world and he decides it would be fine to be a cheeseball this early morning.

My lovely cheeseball.

"Harvey. Please. No sweet talk. Answer my question first. What kind of clothes I should be wearing to greet them? To greet the pack?"

A chuckle escaped from his mouth and I could see that he had a habit of scrunching his nose when he was smiling or laughing.

"Sorry, Baby. I'm just too busy admiring you."

He then continued in his words.

"But I think a casual one will be fine, Baby. Just think of it as meeting your family members or relatives. Those people are your family anyway."

I nodded in agreement. I might think about it too much. Why would I think it was some kind of formal dinner with people wearing fancy clothing everywhere?

Relax, Alice. This world didn't differ too much from your previous world.

But our plan to meet the pack should have been postponed for an hour or so. Just when I decided to take a morning shower, Harvey held me close to his chest. His lips found their way to mine and he left trailing a kiss along my jaw and neck. Leaving many hickeys and bite marks as the ones he made last night weren't enough.

And we did it again. A sensual morning sex to start the day. He quickly climbed on top of me and entered his hardened length into my core again. A deep thrust in each second as the pleasure coiled in our stomachs. He looked at me with a tender look which was very polar opposite of the thing he did to my pussy.

Rough and fast.

Our moans blended with each other as every second passed. A melodic sound to our ears and captivating music to our morning. The skin slapped with each other and our breath went ragged because of pleasure. My nails dug deep into her back and his muscular arms propped his body on top of me.

It didn't take too long for us to come apart. I came first to my climax. I poured every pleasure on him while the delicious sensation washed over me. Minutes later, it was Harvey who froze on top of me as he reached his edge. The warmth sensation spilled into mine as Harvey milked his cock inside me until the very last drop.

We wrapped our morning session with an open-mouthed kiss that felt so sweet like a morning tea.

Harvey told me that our pack, the Sableclaw pack was the biggest one in this area. He proudly said with the biggest smile that his pack had equal wealth on every member. So the pack lived a pretty peaceful and sufficient life every day.

"Our pack is the biggest one, Baby. We have so many resources for our living. Naturally and financially."

I stared at him in awe. How could he manage this many things so well at such a young age? He was just twenty-two years old if I wasn't mistaken. And I could see his perfect leadership by the way the pack looked at him.

They respect him. And they saw him as their leader. Not some kind of tyrant who ruled the pack with an iron fist. And as strange as it sounded, this pack felt like home to me. A family that I never had a chance to have.

"You are a good leader, Harvey."

My praise seemed to surprise him a bit. He couldn't even hide the blush that spread on his cheeks. His smile looked as goofy as I could ever imagine.

"Thank you, I guess." He said shyly.

Seeing him like this made me want to tease him more. Harvey was like an embodiment of a sugar and ice personality. He might look cold, distant, and tough from the outside. But deep inside, I found out that Harvey was just Harvey.

A man with so much kindness, gentleness, and deep understanding for every person he cared for. Not only for me but also for his pack. He cared for each one of them to the point he would put their needs first without any hesitation.

And I never imagined that I would see that side of him.

"I meant it when I say you are a good leader. It wasn't only a tasteless compliment. I do admire you as the Alpha of this pack." I said this time while looking deep into his brown orbs.

He caressed my cheek with his hand.

"And it will be better if I lead them with you by my side, Baby."

I stared at him in confusion. Indeed. How could a new werewolf that even hadn't transformed once lead a pack of experienced ones?

"You mean, I will be their leader too? Like a queen?"

He bobbed his head as a sign of approval.

"Yeah, because you are my mate. And I am the Alpha so that automatically makes you a Luna."

Ah, so that was the Alpha and Luna things about. A leader and his wife, I guess.

"So are we some kind of Bonnie and Clyde type or Eros and Psyche type or what?"

He chuckled again. Maybe my question sounded like a punchline in standup comedy to him.

"I don't understand your words, Baby. But I guess anything you prefer for our relationship. You can mold me into anything you imagine and I won't say no. Anything as long as it makes you happy."

I could feel a thousand butterflies fly in my stomach. No, it wasn't a simple butterfly. I could feel a whole damn zoo because of his sweet talk. Oh, God, it was the first time for me to be treated this well.

And shame to me. Shame to you, Alice! How could you act like a rebellious brat the first time? I honestly felt sorry for all of those bitter words that spilled out of anger back then.

"I'm sorry, Harvey."

"For what?"

"For being a pain in the ass and keep making trouble back then."

His fingers brushed my hair again and tucked a few strands behind my ear.

"Oh, Baby, don't say that again. Your anger and hot-headed personality are kind of interesting foreplay to me though."

He pulled out a smirk. This bastard teased me again and successfully made me into a blushing mess. I punched his chest as a protest and he acted like a dramatic teenager. I cried because of the pain from my powerless hit.

"Harvey!"

We arrived at the small restaurant at the back side of our complex. It was a cozy and warm restaurant that could house a party for the whole pack. Because Harvey appreciated each member's privacy, he decided to build this restaurant as a place for every pack gathering. A casual meeting, a formal dinner, or even a celebratory ceremony of any event. It was all held in here.

It was lunchtime when we stepped our foot inside. And the place was a little bit crowded than I had imagined. Some teens grouped at a table with their lunch. A few elders chatted while scooping their food into their mouths. And another group seemed to have a good time talking with each other.

It was so lively. And I never thought this world would look so normal despite being named a werewolf's world.

Jordan came to greet us. A tall and lean girl who could pass as a supermodel walked beside him while holding his hand. She smiled warmly to me.

"You know Jordan, right?" Harvey introduced him to me.

I nodded.

"And this is Jordan's mate. Kendra. She worked as a fashion designer and ran a small boutique outside our place."

I bobbed my head in awe. So that was the reason why she looked like a supermodel. Because she is indeed involved in that field. Amazing! A superb shewolf indeed!

Kendra reached out to me and shook my hand.

"Nice to meet you, Luna. I hope we can spend more time together. I can make some interesting clothes for you." She said with a playful tone while winking at me.

Ah, this woman scheming something with Jordan to set me up into some kind of game. A game that involved only me and Harvey, of course.

I laughed groggily.

"Thanks, Kendra. Looking forward to it."

Jordan laughed when he saw me looked nervous.

"Chill, Luna. Kendra has the best hand in terms of fashion. And I believe she will come up with the best one for you. Right, Love?"

She nodded.

"Of course. Anything for our Luna."

After those ambiguous teasing from that lovebird, they decided to walk away and left us alone. Not really alone, though. A bunch of people were still here minding their own business.

"So, what do you think? Still want to run away from this?" Harvey leaned closer while whispering to me.

A smile grew on my lips as I felt a sense of comfort in my heart. I glanced at him for a second and turned back to the people.

"Never, Harvey. I will never leave this place again."
