First Wave
As the flow of time continued, things were bound to change. For the past week, Alpha Megrez has been receiving news of werewolf attacks that had been happening in within Xefton. These reports were not out of the ordinary. For the past years, similar reports reached him and they’ve dealt and settled the matter, as they arrested over a thousand rouge wolves but this time it was different.
In the span of a month, there were already a hundred reports of humans getting attacked by wolves. He would even receive two or three reports in a day. Cerulean managed to contain and control the spread of news and silently eliminate all the culprits but these past few days, things were getting a bit out of control.
Articles and news regarding those incidents started to dominate the internet. This has created a state of unease in the city and an outcry from the public calling for the police to do something about it has started. And as the Alpha of Cerulean, Megrez needed to shoulder the responsibility of dealing with whoever was behind this surfacing chaos.
If the police get involved, it would become a problem for them. Megrez has warriors who were disguised as humans within the police force to ensure that anything related to the supernatural would be immediately reported to him. If their existence were to be revealed, it would be difficult for Cerulean and it may even affect Vega’s company.
“I’ll let my people investigate who is behind these attacks. For now, you should focus on apprehending all the culprit before the police can dig even deeper.” Ingrid suggested after seeing her mate’s stressed self.
She had been staying in Cerulean and getting to know the pack when all of these happened. Ingrid has already acknowledged Megrez as her beloved and had already informed the elders of her coven. If she wanted to help him, this was the right time for her to return and inform her coven, personally.
“Are you sure? Are you ready to return?” Megrez knew about her plan of returning and worried for her. He was not sure if her coven could accept that fact that she was a mate to a werewolf.
Although she assured him that her coven was open minded, he still couldn’t help but get worried. They were of different race and their values differ, even their culture and beliefs were different. His pack easily accepted her but it doesn’t mean that her coven could accept him.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Ingrid chuckled. “I am. I am the leader of my coven and my words hold the same weight as yours inside your pack. They may be old but most of them has already changed their way of thinking. I may stumble upon problems but it won’t be as complicated as you are thinking.”
Megrez pulled her and she fell on his lap. The man hugged her tightly and inhaled her scent. It always brought him comfort, her sweet and intoxicating smell. Ingrid returned the man’s hug and even ruffled his hair. He was acting like a child but she enjoyed these simple moments with him.
“I am leaving tomorrow,” she whispered. “I’ll be back as soon as I can and before I do, I want you to do something for me.” She gently pushed the man and held his cheeks. Their gazes met and at that moment, Megrez knew what she wanted.
“Are you sure?” He had been holding back his desires for her because he knew that she wasn’t ready. He was waiting for her to say yes and now that it was here, he suddenly felt unsure of himself.
Ingrid nodded. “I’ve been thinking about it and I’ve been here in Cerulean for over a month now. It is only proper for the two of us to seal the deal.”
“Are you only doing this because you are returning to your Coven tomorrow?” He was still worried. He wanted for Ingrid to want it as much as he wanted it.
Ingrid shook his head and squished his cheeks. “I am. I’ve already accepted you as mine a long time ago. A vampire’s beloved comes once in a lifetime and so is a werewolf’s mate, who am I to deny it. Besides, you already hold a special place in my heart.”
At those words, Megrez’s desire awakened. No words were needed as the both of them fell into a deep and passionate entanglement. He stood up from his seat with her in his arms as he moved them to the attached room of his study. In that short moment of separation to catch their breath, he grinned and gently laid her on the bed.
Megrez hovered above her and looked her in the eyes before he took her for another round of a deep kiss. Their tongues danced and fought in rhythm to a music that only the both of them could hear. Both of their hands started to explore each other’s bodies and removing each other’s clothes.
The Alpha’s eyes turned gold as his lips started to explore further down. Ingrid’s moans brought him immense pleasure and permission to give her more. His hands and lips on her body awakened her carnal desires. Her vampiric urge to drink her beloved’s blood was clouding her vision as she desired for more.
Ingrid pulled up Megrez and without warning sank her fangs on his neck. Megrez howled in ecstasy as the pain brought out the wolf in him. He enjoyed the pain and now it was his turn to place his mark on her mate’s skin. He wanted to show to the world that Ingrid belonged to him only. His fangs appeared as he too bit the back of her neck.
They spent the night in each entwined in each other’s arms, reveling in the warmth of each other. Under the watch of the moon, they became one, a vampire and werewolf breaking the barriers between their differences. It was a magical night that both of them would always remember.
Ingrid stood outside the pack house just as the sun was about to rise. Megrez came out to join her as they watched the sun rising in the horizon. He hugged her from the back as the woman leaned on his chest as they both enjoyed the silence and peace around them.
“Don’t forget to call me once you reach your coven.” Megrez broke the silence because it was already time for her to leave.
“I will.” Ingrid assured him. “You better stay on your toes because whoever your enemy right now may strike anytime.”
Megrez nodded. He turned the woman to face him as he memorized her face before giving her a kiss. “I will do as you say.”
After saying their goodbyes, Ingrid also bid goodbye to Kazandra who was waiting for her inside the pack house.
“Be careful and come back as soon as you can because I will miss you and someone aside from me will miss you more,” Kazandra grinned.
“Of course, I can’t keep you or him waiting.”
