Chapter 15

Alice

I was so dumbfounded by Elliott's words. Real werewolf? What did he even mean?

"What do you mean, Elliott?"

He chuckled and scanned me from head to toe with his eyes.

"Oh, my dear. Do you think being a werewolf will instantly turn you into a perfect mate for Harvey? For our Alpha?"

He went silent for a beat before continuing his words.

"No, My Dear. Being a Luna meant you should carry the responsibility of protecting the pack. Like how a mother will keep her child safe. You should be ruling and protecting the pack side by side with Alpha. And you, clearly aren't enough to bear those duties."

I froze. I knew it. I would never fit in here no matter how hard I tried. But at least, I should be given one chance to prove my worth, right?

Harvey seemed to feel a little uncomfortable with the conversation. I could sense he was trying so hard to protect me from this talk. Harvey kept shifting the topic but Elliott insisted on stirring it back. As if making me into a proper Luna was the most important task that couldn't be postponed for even one second.

"Alpha, you should stop changing our topic. It is a serious talk between Luna and me. It is for the sake of our pack and please, respect me as the elders in this pack." Elliott glared at Harvey and successfully shut him down.

No matter how powerful Harvey is as an Alpha, he should respect the elders on every occasion. His father, Alpha Jackson, was sitting in that position alongside Elliott after Harvey inherited the Alpha's role. And respecting Elliott is equally important as respecting his father.

I could see that Harvey's hand was also tied into this situation. And I held his hand while smiling at him - reassuring him that I was okay. I should be okay.

"So, what should I do, Elliott? Tell me everything I need to do to be the suitable Luna for the Sableclaw pack."

Elliott laughed and rubbed his palms together.

"Let me see. First thing, come see me at the training camp tomorrow morning. We have a lot of things to do, Luna."

I nodded in confidence. My mate, the Alpha, had transformed me into a werewolf. And I had his blood running in my system. I believed no obstacles would be sufficient enough to hinder me.

I am a Luna. And I would prove that I deserved the title.

***

I would be lying if I said that I hadn't felt a bit of grogginess in me.

In fact, I was extremely nervous about everything that would happen at the training. Countless if circled inside my head and made my anxiety level reaching to the sky. Beads of cold sweat covered my body and I felt an extreme uneasiness inside my body.

I was afraid. I was afraid that I couldn't pass the test and be rejected as their Luna. After all, the title that I held wasn't a mere one. I should be strong, and smart, and act motherly at the same time. I should become their queen and mother figure at the same time.

A tough task indeed. And I should be carrying this duty at the age of eighteen years old. Pretty hard, right?

It seemed like Harvey also sensed my worry. He was pretty sensitive in that kind of thing after all. And I didn't know how he did it, maybe it was because of our bond, but Harvey could always read me like an open book. He could feel something wasn't right with me even without being by my side all the time.

And this time, he felt my nervousness and quickly came to comfort me.

"What's wrong, Baby? Feeling anxious?"

I sighed. I even couldn't close my eyes because I felt extremely overwhelmed with distress. I kept staying awake and sat in our bed like a person who just lost her mind.

"Kind of," I muttered.

I shifted and faced Harvey.

"Was it hard? That training and test?" I asked with a quiet voice.

Harvey looked at me in pity. He caressed my cheek with his thumb and smiled softly.

"It is hard. But I believe you can do it, Baby. You are my mate and I believe in you."

"But, Elliott..."

Harvey let out a soft exhale.

"Elliott is the elder and the only thing he wants is the safety of our pack. So it wasn't a strange thing to see him acting like that. He also did the same thing to me when I was about to take the Alpha's position."

I bobbed my head - signaling that I indeed understood everything. All of these werewolves' things were kind of hard to swallow at first. But as time went by, I thought I slowly became familiar with and grasped every knowledge pretty well.

Good job on your new life, Alice. Mom would be so proud of you!

Harvey stroked my hair softly and tucked a few strands behind my ear. I thought this was his favorite gesture to show that he cared for me. And he did it almost every time we spoke to each other.

"Still feeling anxious?" He asked.

I took a deep breath and shook my head. I couldn't even feel thankful enough to have Harvey as my mate. He is just so perfect in every way he could be. Tender and gentle, loving and caring, but also hot and amazing in bed.

How could a man be so perfect like him?

"I think I'm good now," I replied and smiled.

"And I knew good sex would even make you feel better, Baby."

A blush crept on my cheek. I loved how straightforward he was when it was only two of us in the bedroom. Because I wasn't pretty good at reading mixed signals from others. Thanks that Harvey never used any of those and avoided unnecessary misunderstanding between us.

He leaned closer to me and planted a soft kiss on my lips. His lips taste like cinnamon and a tinge of coffee he just drank. I melted in that soft yet sensual kiss. He parted my lips and slid his tongue inside my mouth - exploring every inch of it until we both had run out of oxygen.

But a short makeout session would never be enough for us. A quickie was a bare minimum and there was no such thing as plain five minutes of sex when we both were in bed.

Harvey quickly undressed me - unbuttoning my shirt and unclasping my bra. My bare chest was the most pleasant sight for him to indulge. He wouldn't waste any second and quickly buried his face on my chest.

His lips were soft but rough at the same time. He kissed the skin on my chest and sometimes nibbled it. His tongue made a circling move on my hardened nipple while his hand squeezed my breast in a delightful motion. My moan came out in a tiny whimper as he kept teasing me on that sensitive spot.

"Harvey... that's good... more..."

"I'm gonna mark you tonight, Baby. And we won't be separable anymore."

I nodded firmly. It was something I had been waiting for. A strong bond between us was about to be made and we would fully become one after this.

Harvey kissed the place between my neck and shoulder. The place he would be marking me tonight. And a little moment later, he bit me in that spot. A pretty hard gnaw that made me writhe in pain.

"Was it painful?" He looked at me in concern.

I nodded. Damn, it wasn't only a slight sting. It was a painful bite and I could feel some blood dripping from it. I tried to hang on and held my tears back from flowing down my cheeks.

"I'm sorry, Baby. It is something unavoidable when marking is done."

Then he kissed the wound softly - licking it and sucking the blood. As if magic happened, his bite marks quickly healed and I couldn't feel any pain in that spot anymore.

"Feeling better?"

I nodded in agreement.

"How can you do it?" I asked in confusion.

"It's not me. It's your power that healed yourself."

Ah, so that was one perk of being a werewolf then. Having a ridiculously fast healing ability. Awesome.

Harvey looked at me with his dark eyes. The lust was already taking over both of us. He quickly pulled his polo shirt over his head and threw it to the corner of the room. His jeans and briefs quickly followed. I did the same thing in this short time. I removed my shorts and underpants in a split second and we both joined in a deep kiss with body on top of each other.

I toppled Harvey down to his back and sat on top of him. I positioned myself so my core aligned with his length. I pushed myself down and let his member enter my pussy so deep and full. I cried in a delicious moan when the fullness of him hit me again.

"So full... Harvey..."

I clawed his chest with my fingers and started grinding myself above him. My hip moved back and forth and I could feel his cock sweeping inside my core - touching every bit of sensitive spot that made me feel in bliss.

Then I changed my motion and pumped myself up and down. I could even see his cock was in and out of my pussy. What a delicious sight to view. My hip alternated between pumping and circling motion. It felt so delicious and a wave of pleasure kept washing me over and over.

I leaned down and took Harvey in another kiss. He held me tight and took over the game. He thrusted his length in a rapid motion and shoved inside me again and again.

Moan after moan escaped from our mouths as the pleasure built in each second. A storm was rolling in my stomach as I came closer to the climax.

"Harvey... I will come... ahh..."

"Harvey... please please please..."

"Faster... faster..."

Soon after, I came apart all over him. My head felt hazy and my core clenching so tight around his length. A moment later, Harvey followed me along with his orgasm. That warm liquid filled me over again and my body jolted in a strange electricity.

It was heavenly sex again. Like what we always did in these past few days.

***

I stood in a field that our pack named a training camp. The field had so many endurance training obstacles like the ones I saw on television. Something that I assumed was usually used by the special forces. And I got goosebumps when I saw those tough circuits. My face went pale when I imagined how hard it must be to even cross one barrier.

I have never been an athletic person after all. The hardest sport I had ever done probably running because of fear in my late night shift. And it sounded impossible for me to be able to pass this course.

"Am I obliged to run through that circuit, Elliott?"

Elliott wore his training suit. He looked exactly like those killer PE teacher who is feared by his students. He laughed when he heard my question.

"We would save that for later, Luna. The only training you need to do now is changing your form into a werewolf and human back and forth. An easy task, right?"

I nodded. I never thought the first training would be that simple. I definitely could pass this one.

I threw a glance to Harvey who was watching me nervously. I smiled to make him feel less groggy and he muttered words without any voice in it.

"You can do it, Baby!"

I inhaled a few deep breaths and did as Elliot taught me.

Easy, Alice. Just focus on the wolf inside of you. She would come out and show herself.

I put all of my concentration in one point. My body quickly grew and changed into a furry beast I saw in my mind. But hell it was so painful. I felt my body was torn apart and every inch of my skin split into pieces. As if a sharp knife clawed its way out from my skin. And I couldn't handle it anymore.

I screamed out in agony. And everything suddenly went black. The last thing I heard was Harvey's voice calling me out in panic.

"Alice!"
