A narrative view
It now 9pm Mich goes out to the side deck she was introduced to early, the sky is dark with stars and its half-moon out. She stood there touching the locket her parent gives her, she misses her wolf, playing with the necklace wanting to take it of ‘it’s a good night for a run as she feels the breeze on her hair’ she thinks to herself. She has long hair that flows to her shoulders today, her mother gave her to get clip on for the party. She is startle by the creaking wood as she hears faded footstep. She turns back, next to the door on a wall, there leaned back,
“Alpha Luca…you” she blurts out in shock. He looks at his mate. She was wearing a royal blue silk; A-neck spaghetti straps long blue gown with a slide slit that goes with a nude scandal heel. She let go of the locket which drop right in- between her cleavage. His eyes follow the purple-blue gem locket necklace as it lands. He walks towards her, bits his lips, running his finger through his hair and resting his hand on his neck.
“Alpha?... why so formal lil wolf" pushing himself off the wall,walking towards her. "besides I will only official inauguration will be the end of this year. The only reason everyone calls me Alpha is because last autumn dad had to go on mission into the other realms and I had to take the ropes for almost 6 months... Just call me Luca.” She only realised now that this was the first time he actual told him his name.
“I’m Mik…mean Mishael, but call me Mich.” She had gotten used to pronouncing her name that way. She puts out her hand expecting a hand shake. He takes the hand and kisses her. She pulls it away immediately. He licked his lips, looked at her puzzled as if he was trying to figure something out. Luca was thinking to himself’ she looks beautiful! But there is something about her missing. His nostrils were filled with her scent but he wasn’t on edge wanting to mark her…he still was drawn to her but he was able to control his wolf his eye remain the blue colour not turning dark.
“Dance with me.” He requests as he took his phone out and played song by Vusi Nova and Nstika: Awundiva (the song lyrics translate: I feel like I’m going insane when you not near me …like I’m going crazy, no you don’t understand what I’m saying, do you feel me...when you not near me... I can’t live without you). She puts out her hand and nods to agree. They slow dance to the song and they knew this was going to their song, it expressed every feeling they had. When the next song starts he breaks the silences.
“So how long will you hid? Mean you always cloaked and concealed dress like a guy, cut your hair?” he asks in a sincere tone whispering in her ear.
” Actually, I only have one more soccer match, I can’t believe they don’t have a female soccer team. When we win, I’ll be man of the match. Next term I’ll probably be a cheerleader” she giggles in his ear. He pulls back looking into her eyes, kissing her cheek.
“Wait, so you put on the cloak-mean you did all of that just so you can play soccer?”
She blinks “Duh, like my uncle was the captain of Lycan and man of the match in his junior year. Had to keep the family tradition. We have been working on this since I was 2year. Lucky I am a late bloomer so they ‘teachers’ did the most thinking I was a boy.” He wraps his arms around her waist and spins her in the air…automatically wraps her arms around his neck. He deep kisses her on the lips….
” okay, so you not hiding from me.MY Ma…” he stops himself from finishing the sentence. And thinks to himself ‘all this time I thought she has been rejecting me, our bond. Even going to extreme of cloaking herself, cutting her hair. But she just loves soccer’; late bloomer…oh yeah tiny like she’s 13yrs. But I’ve seen her in wolf form…must be an Alpha gene thing’ he puts her down and continue dancing with her.
“So when do you turn 16?” she rolls her eyes” I will be 16 in April, luckily it would after the holidays, a new term. Hopeful I can make a re-entry as A girly girl” she winks at him. They continue dance with conversation just enjoying each other’s company. They end up sitting down and enjoying the music playlist on his phone. When Mich start to shiver, Luca give him the coat of his suit they snuggle closer on the couch on the deck.
“Have you meet you mate yet?” she looks into his eyes think to herself ‘I would like to have this forever and I want it with him’. He taking a deep breath throw his head back.
“Ask me after your birthday.’ They set up a date for tomorrow Sunday agreeing to meet after her team drill to prepare for her last match. He looked at his watch was heading for mid-night which was the last ceremony of the party which he had to do as Drake big brother…something to do with a which ritual. When they walk into the hall he has her close by him with his arm sling tight around her waist…the room is dark and the spotlight goes straight to them.
Drake announcing on the microphone” Luca come up here!” sighing “finally we found you”
Drake had told Luca to get backstage by 11.40pm but he wasn’t there so he was panicking it was 11.55 now. After mid-night Drake turn into werewolf the pack ran a bit in the wood. He turns at an early age because he’s an Alpha’s child. We just went straight home. The twins were sad although they can wolf-out, we all not allowed to in public not until we turn 16yrs. Dad told us that he used to be Alpha but retired on urgent mission he didn’t go into details…so although we had the alpha gen we had to submit to Alpha Seth. And be part the pack as normal werewolves. They had taught has control: mind-link (we could block-out or allow person into thought), dull down our aura (teaches use to hid the powerful dominating aura), to control our emotional state and temper (angry person/emotional state can lead to a wolf-out.
