Rejected by my pack alpha

The night was dark and stormy as the winds howled through the trees. The rain poured down, drenching everything in sight. It was a heavy one, to be precise, and in the midst of all these in the Mistwood Pack, Alpha Jude and Ava are seen on the bed entwined with each other. Her head rested perfectly on his chest as he played with her hair. Both were enjoying the night in their bedroom; the curtains were opened as they could see the heavy rain. Indulged in a conversation that got them laughing. “Do you know why I like you? It's because of your determination. The way you use your weakness as your motivation and not let anything bring you down or stop you from getting what you wanted to achieve, now look at how brave and strong you've turned to, and to top it all, you are beautiful. I must say your fighting skills amaze me, and so is your beauty,” Alpha Jude praised, which got Ava all smiling. “I am deeply honored that you acknowledge me, but we all know that I learned from the best, which is you,” Ava said sweetly, her voice so soothing that it made Alpha Jude grin. He had a weak spot for Ava, and he loved her dearly to the extent that he spoiled her badly. Everyone knows how Alpha Jude doted on his sweet soon-to-be Luna. “I know you are pulling my legs, Ava, but you got me. Yes, I am the best warrior ever,” he admitted, hitting his chest proudly. Ava knew where to get him, and she loved the fact that she had control over him. “Um, I even have something to tell you, Ava,” Alpha Jude said in a serious tone, which made Ava sit upright, fixing her gaze on his. She wondered what he wanted to say. “Tell me what it is that you want to say." Her voice sounded soft. “Your mom informed me that your pack is having a mating ceremony next week,” He said and paused to see her reaction. “And why are you telling me about it? I am no longer a part of that pack; I have nothing to do with them, so why are my parents telling you about it when they know I no longer want anything to do with that pack?” Ava's tone was already getting louder. She was already annoyed at the mention of her former pack. She really does not want anything to do with that pack. Never ever! “Take it easy, Pearl, Your parents miss you, and they have been longing to see you. Seeing that this mating ceremony was a perfect excuse for you to meet them, since everyone would be busy with the mating ceremony and no one would know when an intruder entered inside, they would think you are from the neighboring pack who wants to find a mate in their pack.” He tried to reason with her, but she remained adamant. He honestly couldn't blame her, but he had promised her parents that she would attend the mating ceremony and an Alpha would not take his words back; it was an insult to his pride. He sat upright as he embraced Ava in a hug, trying to subdue her anger in a warm hug. "Please, Ava, try to understand from my point of view; know that I won't just send you to that pack without having a solid reason; I have already promised your mom, and I can't take my words back. Please, just do it for my sake, and I promise to take you anywhere you want to go when you come back,” He whispered in her ears. Ava sighed as she looked him in the eyes. She really did not want to go, but he had promised her parents that she would, and she knew Alpha Jude has a lot of pride and he would not want to look like a fool in front of her parents. She bit her lips as she closed her eyes, reminiscing on her past. Seeing how hesitant she was, he sighed. “I would be going with you, so you don't need to worry; I won't leave you even for a moment if that is what you want, ” She looked him in the eyes and gave a brief smile, seeing how sincere Alpha Jude was. Surely she was going to trust him because he had always stood by his words, and that is why she loved him. He had been by her side, and he had showered her with all the love she didn't deserve, and that is why loving him was the only way to pay back for everything he had done for her, and very soon she would be married to him. ”Fine, if you are going to come with me, then I would go there,” she responded, which made him smile as he pulled her into a hug again. “Thank you very much, Pearl." He beamed with a smile as he kissed her lips tenderly. She reciprocated the kiss as her hands trailed down his chest; the kiss was rather harsh than intense. She moves over and sits on him and then she pushes him to the bed, just as they are about to make it go deeper, a guard stationed at the door called out to Alpha Jude. Ava rolled her eyes,annoyed that they came to disturb their intimate moment while Alpha Jude let out curse words. “I need to leave, Pack’s duty is calling,” He murmured in her ears, she could feel his warm breath on her skin. She pulled away from him and sulked, letting him go. “C’mon Pearl, you would have me all to yourself tonight. I promise,” he coaxed but she wasn't moved. She needed him now because she knew he would be exhausted later. Being an Alpha wasn't easy and Ava knew that, but she had to understand. “It’s okay, I understand that you have to go,” she muttered, her lips curved in a fake smile, still annoyed. Alpha Jude chuckled and kissed her cheeks, “Get ready for me tonight. I want you to be s*xy and appealing, I promise to end the meeting quickly,” he whispered. Ava smiled, feeling reassured because she knew he meant it. She nodded her head and kissed his lips one last time before he walked away from their room while she got up from the bed to go prepare for the hot night with her beloved.

★★★ “Chell,” “Yes Daddy,” Michell responded as she scrambled out of her bed in a hurry just to meet her dad who just came back from a mission. Mitchell ran to hug her dad whom she missed so much but she stopped in her tracks seeing how disheveled her dad looked. It seems that the mission her dad went to was not what he expected. His clothes were torn and his body filled with mud, his hair was greasy and she could see some leaves on his hair, she raised her hands to remove the leaves from his hair but he moved back. “I am a mess, Chell, I just wanted to inform you of my arrival” His voice sounded tired yet happy to his beloved child. “Of course, you look like a mess, but I've missed you so much and I am so happy to see you, why don't you have your bathe, have your rest and we will talk later,” Mitchell suggested, even though she was a petite 16 years old with almond eyes and blonde hair; half-hearted shaped lips that is dry, she surely is a reasonable girl with a sweet characte
