The Song for Alpha Dark Knight

Chapter 3

Aiden's POV

I have my own room in this pack house. Through years, Carl's room was mine. We shared a bed together. But not anymore. I am glad it's calm and they aren't in action right now. Seriously so glad.

I stare at the ceiling the whole night just waiting for sleep to reach me. But no sign of it. So instead, I recall everything that happened yesterday and today.

It was kind of trio day all the day. We three were together having fun, walking around the pack, the borders, wolf race and all. Carl and Leah just look so happy together. Their smiles brought a smile on my face as well.

Carl said that it's Ella's birthday tomorrow. Can't really believe that tho. She'll gain her wolf tomorrow and will be one of us. Incredible.

Uncle Zenon also informed that he and his family will join us today. Because it's the Queen Ceremony tomorrow. Probably in a week or so it'll be his ceremony. Just within our pack. In the presence of Royals.

Without my consent my brain wandered. And as it wandered, it came to a halt at Nadia. Her smile as she hugged me for the first time. Her face when she came to know I'm a Malloy. Her content filled eyes as she was in my arms.

Everything about her is making me sleep deprived and in a sweet way. My mind then wandered to what Carl said. Another mate? Seriously?? Every werewolf knows that second chance mate is a very rare thing.

Moreover she would resemble Nadia. Bullshit that is..!

It took me several minutes to finally fall into deep slumber. And didn't really take that long to wake up. Another nightmare. Another same scenario. Another same face. Same person like always.

I don't know when is the end to this cycle. But I really do want this to end. Not because it's hard, but because it reminds me more of her.

I sigh again as I look at the ceiling. A different ceiling. Very different from Dark Knight pack house.

"What difference does it make when the thoughts and feelings are the same?" Steve whispers.

I sigh again. I just can't deny any word. The thoughts we have are still the same and so are our feelings. Steve took more time than me to get back to reality. He was in denial for years. He is now a hopeless i***t.

I walk to the window which is very different from Dark Knight pack house. But the sky is still the same. Waiting patiently for the sun to rise and splash colours on it in the process.

It didn't take that long for the sun to fulfill the wish of the skies. Streaks of pink and purple, followed by Orange and pale blue. Like I said, watching this is so soothing to me for some strange reason.

But it's different over here. No Lana to walk in and give me coffee. They are supposed to come today. Wonder if they will or take time because there's too much to handle back at pack.

I sigh mentally preparing myself for another day at Bloodmoon pack. A knock on the door surprise me. No one in here wakes up this early in the morning.

The door now has all my attention. Seconds later, in walked Lana with a mug of piping hot coffee. I can bet my eyes are softer as I look at her.

"I missed for two days. Didn't want to miss more. And I figured you would need this" she whisper as she hands me the mug.

I just don't say anything but for the first time, I hug her and whisper a "Thank You"

She stands like a stone for a moment and then hugs me back. I never really thanked her for taking care of me like a mother. She always saw me equal to Luke. I never really thanked her for anything.

Yes, I get some weird vibes from her, but at times.. she is everything my family needs. A best friend to my father, a mother to me and a wonderful Beta Female to the pack house and pack members.

"Don't be. You're just like Luke to me. No more, No less" she says as she pulls away.

I nod holding the mug close to my nose, taking in the aroma and the feel of warmth it oozes. Coffee is ultimate heavenly beverage and you can't change my mind.

"You off to the pack later?" Asks Lana.

There is something I have to take care personally. The pack meet of Dark Knight pack and Silver stone pack. Alpha Miguel is a very good friend of mine and we arrange our pack meets together so at least few may find their mates. He sent me documents that I haven't signed yet because I'm in Bloodmoon pack. He reminded me about it yesterday so I have no choice. I can't postpone it anymore.

I nod again as I take a sip. Coming to think of it, she indeed makes the best coffee too. Grilled cheese and hot coffee. Enough for Life.

"Alright. I'll just go and accompany others" she says.

"Others? They're awake?" I ask her with wide eyes.

"Yeah, they said it's Ella's birthday today so they are planning a surprise by the time she wakes up. They thought you were still asleep," she takes a pause looking at me with softer eyes, "But I know you"

I couldn't say anything but just smile.

So it's Ella's birthday today. I mentally take a note to wish her when I walk across her. I don't really talk that well with her.

Lana leaves without turning back again. It's just me, my coffee and the pleasant skies. A perfect morning to start my day.

I walk out and see everyone in hurry. Smell of cake baking in oven, fresh paint I am not sure for what they used, sounds of wrappers are filled in the thick air.

Carl is the first one to notice my presence. Followed by Leah. They wish me Good Morning and I wish them back. I inform them that I'll be off to training grounds and they happily agree.

"I feel strange today" Steve mutters.

I reach my pack as fast as possible and quickly march to my office. Eric is already there holding that document. I smile at him as I grab a pen from the pen holder. I quickly sign it and take another round around the pack. People are happy. So am I. My life exists in their smiles.

"So you just gotta leave again?" Eric asks me.

I look at him as he throws me puppy eyes. This man is something else!

"Yes and No! You're not coming. You should take care of the pack" I shrug.

He immediately pouts as he stares at the ground.

"C'mon Eric! Be a man!!" I pat his shoulder and his face legit went from pout to eye roll pretty quick.

I laugh to myself as I hop into my car. I start humming to the song "Complicated" By Avril Lavigne. Not sure why but that's my favourite.

I look at the blue skies with white clouds that looks like globs of cotton candy. I look at the greenery as I pass by. The barren lands that sings a song as the wind passes by. The scent of woods you can find nowhere else.

Sometimes, I feel glad to be a werewolf. I get to experience a world that many humans doesn't know.

"I don't feel good at all man!" Steve mutters again.

I just shrug without any reply because that is how I feel as well! It's strange and I cannot pin point what is strange or what makes what strange!

I soon reach the pack borders of Bloodmoon pack and everyone make way for my car to pass. I smile warmly at everyone who bows to me in the pack just making my way to pack house.

Within moments I reach the pack house and even from the main entrance I can feel how crowded the living room is. Why? Oh! It's Ella's birthday. The party might have started already.

I walk in and everyone are sure enough sitting and laughing as they talk. I love to see my family this way.

"Am I late to the party?" I ask as I walk in.

Everyone's eyes are now on me and something about the vibe screams different. No doubt I missed on something. What might it be?

Carl stands up and yells something that had me stop dead in my tracks.

"Your pack now has a Beta Female Bro!" Carl yells again.

My eyes quickly finds for the familiar face in the crowd. I then look at him and Ella in his arms. So Luke and Ella? Wow! I smile as I look at the pair and everyone cheers and hollers again.

I walk to Luke and hug him. He's finally not single. Not anymore. It's good to see Luke smile wide. I look at Lana who is busy talking to Kian. High School best friends now turned to family.

"Anddddd," Carl says as he gives his hand to Leah.

Leah didn't hesitate and grabbed his hand. She stands up beside Carl. They smile once again looking at each other.

"Leah got her wolf too" Carl announces.

This is it! The Bloodmoon pack house has officially gone crazy. Everyone is now either yelling or clapping or screaming. It's all happiness around.

Can time freeze right now please?

"Aiden! I guess whatever is gonna happen, might take our lives by storm" Steve whispers.

Few minutes. I can feel that too. Just minutes more!
