Falling for Her

Falling for Her

' Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle. Love is a war. Love is growing up.' - James Baldwin

Callum's point of view

There she stood with her long wavy brown hair softly blowing in the wind. In a thin white flowing dress ( a tradition many packs follow the Luna once mated to their Alpha wears white everyday after to show her status within the pack if the scent or mark doesn't give it away.) This gown embodies the spirit of the forest, with a pattern of mystical trees and sacred foliage printed onto its flowing white fabric. No boning or zippers ensure comfort and breathability, allowing for effortless movement. She looked as if she was the spirit of the forest herself absolutely stunning. Even when she appeared deep in thought.

Beside her stood one of the maids Esperanza. She had her hands locked together and her head slightly tilted to the ground almost as if she was praying. It was customary to have maids wait hand and foot on their Luna always bowing to her until they are spoken to. Walking my way up to the door arch. I looked at the small maid " you are dismissed I wish to be left alone with my Luna."

Esperanza simply nodded " yes Alpha." I waited for Esperanza to be out of my sight before approaching my Luna. As I neared her. Her body stiffened no doubt due to me. It pained me to see her discomfort was due to me because of my actions. I quickly cleared my head of any negative thoughts.

Placing my hand on her swollen belly that held my heir I softly rubbed soft circles to try to relieve some of the pain she might be feeling. After a few moments I began to speak as gently as I could to show her I was no threat. " Tell me my Luna what is going through that pretty little head of yours?"

She slowly turned her head towards me with a soft smile " I can't seem to shake what fate has in store for me. My mother was a human who died giving birth to me. Since finding out I was pregnant I just assumed my fate was the inevitable. But since my shift what if I am able to make it through. What is to become of us?"

I sent her a smile tucking her brown hair gently behind her ear. Lifting her chin up to meet my gaze. " If you happen to make it through I will do what any other Alpha will do and make sure you keep giving me heirs." I felt the shivers run up her spine. I let out a sigh " I'm not proud of it but it is the werewolf way to conceive as many pups possible. My pack realize on it to keep our pack in order. Many of my people have held off having pups of their own. Out of respect for me packs normally want to have their Alpha have his pup first. The more heirs I have the more my pack will have pups of their own and the stronger we become. Stella you are what will hold my pack together." I simply held her hand towards my mouth before laying my lips against the palm of it.

Stella looked at me with her emerald green eyes as if looking into my very soul. She sent me a very soft smile and before I could stop myself I layed my lips against her own. " I promise those who have harmed you will die screaming. I will make them pay for what they have done to you."

She put her hand on my chest " I want to forget my past my father and the man He had married me off to. None of that matters anymore."

Taking in every word I slowly traced the scars that lyed across her back. I can't imagine what she has gone through as her time as a human. The suffering she has gone through I couldn't help but to see myself in her. Kissing her forehead " I'm sorry I can't let what he has done to you go. When I kill him I will make sure the last face he sees isn't my own but yours. Then and only then will I be satisfied."

" Alpha Callum none of the pain he has caused me will ever be enough."

" My Luna shall call me Callum we are equals now. It may not be enough but it's a start."

Tears slowly fell from her eyes. She leaned in placing her lips on mine before whispering a thank you. With that I exited the room calling Esperanza back to stand in the same position I had found her in. I couldn't help the smile that found it's way to my face before remembering I would be sending my men into battle against Alpha Jethro and his pack. Alpha Jethro was an experienced fighter and due to his age none dared to go against him. He had twenty years on me experience wise. If I was to take him down I had to do so rationally if it was any one else I wouldn't have cared. But He had hurt my Luna and his own daughter. Anger soon took a hold of me.

" Maverick."

Right on que Maverick ran around the corner " yes Alpha."

" I need your help getting our men ready for war."

Blinking taking in what I had just " War Alpha Callum with who?"

" With the Silver Dawn pack. It appears Alpha Jethro has harmed someone I deeply care about and because of that I want to slit his throat with my own claws."

Gulping Maverick continued " Who has He harmed Alpha Callum."

I Soon felt the anger making its way up my throat like bile. " My Luna and for that I want his head on a spike."

Maverick didn't dare further question his Alpha He simply nodded and together we came up with a plan to end Alpha Jethro.
