chapter 5
One moment, Lexa was standing before him, and the next, she had been replaced by her wolf. She was gorgeous: she had a perfect creamy white dress, only marred by a silver crescent moon.
Her coat still sported the gold and silver braids and charms, which made him chuckle. Niella transformed as well, her golden-brown robe just as gorgeous, but looking almost dull next to the one of the young alpha next to her. Carter transformed too, relishing the feeling of the transformation that racked his nerves. He had never felt so good. Never . their wolves rushed into the woods, and he felt euphoric by this race under the moon, invigorated.
It was better than anything he had experienced in his life. Except maybe his night with Lexa. Yes well, it did not reach the level of his night with her. But almost .
He played, joined by other members of his pack, for several hours until he smelled something out of the ordinary. Beside him, Lexa’s wolf and Jake’s wolf had stopped , having also smelled the foreign scent.
Nia was pushed back, along with other submissive wolves, and Carter instinctively positioned himself in front of them. These roles were ingrained in them: the dominants protected and the submissives provided care. A huge white wolf, which Carter’s identified as the Alpha, Lexa’s father, advanced, closely followed by his daughter, his lips drawn, ready to face the enemy. They got ready and… Hundreds of unknown smells hit them hard. The other packs had arrived.
The alphas snarled, and for a few moments he thought they were going to jump on each other, but eventually they turned back, heading for the lair. The pack slowly set off, keeping their distance from the new arrivals, being careful to keep the submissives and the children in the centre, where they were protected. The party was over.
Once back in the clearing, they transformed again, and went to get the clothes provided to get dressed. None of them seemed to have a problem with his or anyone else’s nudity, which Carter was the exception to. He wasn’t used to all this, and the clash of cultures was making his head spin.
Again, he couldn’t help but think of his parents, and his little brother, Mason. What would Lila and Jamie Masin think if they saw their son in the middle of this crowd? what would Mason think seeing his brother’s body cover with hair as he became a wolf? Shaking his head, he put on his jeans and shirt, more than happy to have brought them.
Lexa felt proud of Carter as she thought back to how he had acted in the forest. She hadn’t needed to tell him what to do, since he had positioned himself directly in front of the weakest, making a barrier with his body.
At the time, she had felt guilty for not having explained to him in more details the workings of a pack. Within a pack, everyone had their role, and each life was precious, but some, like the submissives, the young children – the cubs -, and the elderly were more fragile and therefore needed the protection of the dominants, stronger and more resilient.
In return, the submissives balanced the often overly fiery temperament of the dominants and took care of the pack, taking care of the wounded, the kitchen, and the children while the others trained in combat and patrolled. It was all about balance and Carter had it right, already taking his place in the pack. Yes, Lexa couldn’t be prouder. Especially since it did one more thing that supported his appointment as alpha. Beaming, Lexa smiled.
Caleb slapped Carter on the back, startling the young man, while throwing:Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
– Well done, Carter! You did really well there.
Then he nudged Jake, who smiled in spite of himself:
– Yes, it wasn’t too bad… For a Cub.
This time he wasn’t going to give up so easily, but Nia stepped in front of him, her hands on her small hips, her honey-colored skin red with anger.
– So now you stop, Jake! Carter is as much a member of this pack as you are, and you need to learn to respect him! He proved earlier that he was perfectly worthy to be part of it, and he is as dominant as you are.
Suddenly, everything became clear in Carter’s mind: Jake wasn’t just jealous of him and Lexa, but the male was scared. Carter was dominant enough to match him and he didn’t like that. Caleb, Franklin, and Keith took up position behind the small temperamental submissive, sending a clear message that they were supporting her. Shaking his hand, Jake growled.
– Yeah, yeah that’s it .
With that, he left. And Lexa, hugging Franklin, and Keith from behind asked:
– What is happening ?
Nia shook her head.
– Nothing, just a little clash of egos. I think Jake’s took a little hit.
Lexa looked sad and sighed.
– I’ll talk to him later.
Then, from Keith and Franklin, she slid over to Carter and wrapped her arms around his waist. He knew it was just a simple show of affection from a packmate to his packmate, but he couldn’t help his heart racing. Suddenly he asked:
– According to my wolf, you are an alpha, but you are not yet, are you?
She burst out laughing and exclaimed, a pout on her lips:
– Sorry, I should have explained our hierarchy to you in more depth. So you already know that there are dominants and submissives, and above that there is beta and alpha. But there are different levels of dominance, and people who are born with the beta rank and alpha rank, without being Alpha and Beta with capital letters. Franklin and I are alphas.
Everything seemed more logical now. He broke away from her as she exclaimed:
– Go to bed ! We have a long day tomorrow!
She led him to her bedroom, and, completely naked, she lay down on the bed, legs apart:
– And if you showed me this famous strength of character?
He smiled, grabbed her thighs, and lifted her up hard. she let out a surprised little cry:
– Haa!
He locked his gaze on hers and ran two fingers into her privacy. Making her widen her eyes and throw her head back in a hoarse groan.
– Haaa, damn it!
The young man’s grin widened, and he whispered, leaning down to his ear:
– I had to check if you were ready for me. (He moved his fingers a little more and she begged him with her amber eyes) Looks like you already are…
He kissed her quickly before replacing his fingers with his cock, thrusting hard and fast at her, possessing her entirely.
The sound of her pleas made him accelerate even more, and they exploded in a common cry.
