Chapitre 1027: BOO'S EMBARESSING POV
Mate's entrances were always a sight to behold. I don't think I would ever get tired of it, how my heart would leap the moment of his arrival and immediately fill with happiness as if magicked from thin air.
All his entrances were wonderful, in his Lorent Prince mode, it was elegant and graceful. Even in his Tyger King mode, it was majestic and fearsome. But no matter what the costume, he would always pause at his own entry and pose with the most haughty expression, as if for everyone else present to take note of his power and know how very much he looked down on them.
If anyone else were to wear such an expression in front of me, I would have liked to smack the arrogance out of his face, but Mate had a very handsome face that made every expression he made captivating. His cold and stony expression only made me excited. How fun would it be to crack that! And if I did, who would know what kind of expression he would show me next? So fun, so much fun.
Naturally I had to pounce him, {Mate! ~ <3}
I wanted the whole world to know how completely and irrevocably mine he was, but we were all respectable wolves and I had come to realize that if I wanted the world to acknowledge us, marking him on the year of my first shift while he was trying to drive home on the expressway wasn't the best course of action. The fastest way wasn't always the best one.
No, my Luna will become mine in the grandest Mating Ceremony in history in front of the whole wide world. It can only happen when I become irrefutably Alpha, only then can I take him as my Luna.
And although I had expected waiting to be annoying, this way was a surprising fun too. I would never had thought getting into my own mate's grasp required a certain swiftness in dodging my alpha dad's hand. My dad like any black wolf had the reflexes of a well-honed warrior, so even though I made it look so easy, it wasn't a feign and dodge any normal wolf could've pulled off.
I was very lucky, my Luna Mum was on his other arm, so he took an extra half a blink to gently pull out of his darling's hand to stop me. Well, too bad, his black wolf blood also ran in my veins, that half a blink was all I needed to move, dodge, and run out of his reach. I'm so amazing!
I jumped towards Mate knowing full well he was able to catch me. My Mate was strong and reliable like that, but I don't know why he always looked slightly surprise whenever he caught me, almost as if he had not meant to do that. I'm not sure what he had thought he might do instead. Drop me? He's MINE, of course he would catch me.
Actually, my Mate was a pitiful wolf. Like me, we were sorely suppressed on a daily basis. We weren't the only ones. Fluffy's wolf used to be suppressed to the point that he was permanently faded - but I fixed it and now his wolf was nearly recuperated. There's something wrong though… his wolf is shining strong but not solidifying. I don't have the words to say it, just take it that his wolf was not whole yet.
I was glad when it seemed that the very old Elder Wolf was not going to take Fluffy back to the Colored Mountain with him. Fluffy was just settling in, just as we were all settling around him and his eccentricities. Things were just starting to get more fun, I would have hated for him to go now.
But eventually, he would have to return home. Maybe Heller would know how to fix Fluffy's wolf.
My Mate's wolf was even more pitiful that Fluffy's. My gentle mate was the expert at suppression, even our mating bond was almost always cruelly suppressed. My poor Mate must have mastered this while at the vampire fight cages. But it was also thanks to Mate's example that I became so good at blocking things on my side too.
I kind of understood blocking the mindlinks. The noise was annoying, and why should the Alpha have to answer or be disturbed over every little thing? (And also, as the alpha, why should anyone see anything, be it a thought or feeling, that might be construed as weakness?) I was an alpha too, I understood this. BUT WHY BLOCK OUR MATING BOND TOO? That was so too cruel!
My poor gentle Mate. I'm sure he only did it to shield me from his pain. To add to all his troubles, he had lost his foreleg. The worst part of it was that I could not find anyone to blame for this - except maybe myself. This was frustrating because I could not take it out on anyone else. It was so ironic that the one thing I wanted to get right, do perfectly, and protect forever, I messed up. REGRET. Every time I remembered, I regretted. I should never had let him out of my sight.
But four legs or three, Mate was not a wolf to be tied down obediently by my side. He was strong will and wild. Of course he would be exactly my type. Every time I see him, it would be as if he had become more and more powerful...and also more weary. Mate was merciless on everyone - including himself.
If I didn't know any better, I'd think he was purposely working himself to the bone.
I wondered when was the last time he slept. And then I remembered his sleeping face.
{Mate! ~ <3}
Everything on his face is perfect! I tiptoed and managed to get a quick peck onto his jaw. My proud Luna won't even bend down a little to receive my love? But I liked this unbending part about him too.
My Alpha Dad is growling. My wolf ears twitched. I probably should keep an eye on Dad, his wolf was not in a good mood today.
Mate smirked and put me away from him. This annoyed me immediately, but it also gave me a better view of his face so I could not stay angry.
"What game are you playing at now, Princess?" Mate's voice was low, like the sound at the bottom of the sea. My wolf ears twitched again to give him my full attention.
Why did he ask? Was my Mate going to indulge me? I wasn't playing anything really, but how could I disappoint him?
"I wasn't! But I could if you want." If it would make Mate happy, I would play many, many games for him.
"Hn." Mate huffed a little, {So cute.}
He took a lock of my hair in his hand and then let it go when my Alpha Dad approached us, "Dad. I came to oversee our new arrival."
"Son." Dad's voice was still growly, but he sounded less annoyed.
Mate pushed me, just a little so that I was back in Dad's reach (and out of his own). WTH! I flared, but Dad grabbed my arm again. Grrrr… MINE! That's mine!
But Mate was now by Hayao's side, "Well, Young Prince, swear your allegiance."
Hayao bowed, "I, Hayao, swear my allegiance to the Blue Alpha. May our lives be bound for as long as we both live."
Now Mate had his hand on my head, my ears flicked against his hand, {Mate! ~ <3}
"Accept him, princess." Mate ordered, "Before I change my mind and kill him."
I tilted my head to regard my Mate, "Hm? Are you jealous?"
"Why should I be jealous? Just accept him now." my Mate liked to pretend that he could boss me around.
"Okay. Since you say so." I shrugged, "Hayao, I accept your allegiance."
"I accept too." Mate said in all reluctance, and then he suddenly turned frigid again, "Alright. It's done."
Mate picked up a lock of hair, kissed it, and then he waited. Usually, he would leave immediately after kissing my hair…
Oh! I tiptoed and brushed my lips against his jaw.
Bell opened his portal, threw a smirk back at Hayao, and then stepped through the black fumes and into the black void.
The moment the void doorway closed, the atmosphere lightened again. The wolves around me visibly relaxed. It was like a dangerous thing had popped up and then left all on his own.
"Hoo boy." Beta Lucas shook his head, "No matter how many times that boy does that, I don't think I'll ever get used to it."
"That boy" being His Majesty the Tyger King, so our friends from the Colored Mountain looked up to my Dad's Beta with new respect.
"Welcome to our Night Leaf Pack." Dad said to our guests. And then he shook Hayao's hand, "Welcome to our family. My daughter is young, but there are seniors who can guide you and explain the rules."
Ki stepped up dutifully, "I'm Beta Ki, I have been assigned to see to your care."
"Please take care of me." Hayao nodded a bow, but he looked like he had just agreed to hang on the gallows. Poor Hayao.
"Don't worry, Hayao." I tried to comfort the new wolf, "My wolves are kind and although I think it might be hard to adapt to pack life here, I will do my best to help you settle in comfortably."
Ki immediately stepped forward with his gentlest smile, "Please leave this to me, goddess. I will see to the young prince's needs."
{He's welcome to share my room.} Fluffy offered.
{No.} More than one wolf answered.
{We need him alive, Fluff.} Harvey reminded the troublemaker.
{What the hell are you talking about?} Ben demanded, {And since when had Fluffy ever allowed anyone into his room?}
{It doesn't stop EJ.} Fluffy complained.
{Let's keep the territorial fights to a minimum.} Harvey decided, {Give the young prince my room. I'll move to the packhouse.}
{Don't you think that's too close to Luna Bell's room?} Ki worried.
{Yeah, you all saw what he did to Hotstuff when he first joined the Special Team.} Ben said.
{Then give Hotstuff's room to the healer prince, and put Hotstuff in Big Brother Alpha's room.} Fluffy offered, {It would make Hotstuff more accessible for our Luna Bell to vent his jealousies.}
{Wait…} Wolfgang was alarmed.
{Don't worry.} Fluffy assured everyone, {Hotstuff can bear it. He's not weak like some young healer prince.}
{Don't worry, I won't change your room.} Harvey assured Wolfgang. To Fluffy, he warned sternly, {Fluff, behave.}
{Yeah, stop acting like a jealous b****.} Ben scolded.
{I don't want Big Brother Beta to move out!} Fluffy decided this would be a good time to throw a tantrum.
{Then you move out!} Ben immediately lost patience.
{Can I move into your basement?} Fluffy asked.
{No.} Ben growled, {That's my space.}
Did we really not have any more rooms?
