Love conquers all

My father went on stage followed by Nathan, Ivan and Silvia, while my mother, our friends and I were right there, in front of us to enjoy the little ceremony with emotion.

“Good evening everyone, pack of Red Sky. As we announced this afternoon, my beautiful Mate and I, we are here to welcome Nathan, his father Ivan and his sweet little sister, Silvia into our pack.” He was interrupted by a choral clapping of hands and howls.

“During the wedding of my beloved daughter Myra; I briefly announced that Nathan would become the future Alpha of our pack. Today we are taking the first step towards that future. So I ask you officially to welcome this family into our pack. If anyone has something to say, or knows some valid reason why we shouldn’t welcome the three of them into our pack, talk now or shut up forever.” The pack remained silent, that was the tacit assent that gave my father permission to continue with the ritual.

“I, Alpha Nicola, as Alpha Leader of the Red Sky Pack, welcome you Nathan Johnson. What is imperative is your loyalty to the whole pack, which will one day be yours. You must promise to always protect and honor all of our people.” My father took the knife and cut the palm of his hand, soon after Nathan did the same. They shook hands, at that moment the whole pack felt the energy of the addition of someone powerful, of an Alpha joining their pack.

“I, Nathan Johnson, agree to protect, honor and be loyal to all the people of the Red sky pack. I am honored to be a part of this big family and I am even more so because, someday soon, I will be the Alpha. Thank you all.” Nathan ended his speech and everyone clapped their hands and howled.

Later my father did the same with Ivan and finally with Silvia.

At the end of the ritual the pack had added three new people and they finally felt they were part of a family, after leaving behind them the old pack they were part of in the past.

After the entrance ceremony of the new members of the pack, the time that separated us from the end of year party / prom, passed in the blink of an eye.

Nathan had just returned from his run with Falco, while I was naked in front of the shower door, waiting for the water to get hot.

Suddenly I felt Nathan behind me, naked. He kissed the back of my neck and his hands began to touch me softly.

“How was the ride?” I asked as I turned to face him.

“Great as always, we found a new place, one day I’ll take you to see how wonderful it is.”

“One day ...” I said with a bitter note in my mouth. I knew that day could never come for me. I felt that my body was tired of fighting, all my strength to keep it going was about to abandon me. The day after that evening I would go to Doctor Leporis, with whom I had already made an appointment.

“Little bird, are you all right?” Nathan asked, putting two fingers under my chin, forcing me to lift my head and look into his beautiful worried eyes. Perhaps he had noticed the change of mood, of expression due to my sad thoughts.

“Yes, yes, all right, my love”; I said, trying to show a sincere smile so I could reassure Nathan.

As soon as the water became hot, I entered the shower followed by Nathan who, after getting wet, took the sponge and washed me carefully, every inch of my body. Even though my body was tired it still reacted to simple and pure touch like that. Nathan managed to light the fire of passion in a trifle. When my body was completely soapy he washed my hair, massaging the whole scalp with his fingertips; in these gestures I felt his strong adoration towards me. Later he did the same for himself.

Leaving the shower he carried me on the bed in his arms, placed me on top of it and stopped to look at me with his hands on the sides of my body, resting on the mattress.

“I love you, Little Bird!” He told me, after a while, in his dark way that made my legs shake, lucky for me that I was lying on the bed. He didn’t let me speak, he closed the distance that separated us so quickly that I didn’t have time to respond to his ‘I love you’. And how I loved him! He kissed me softly, more and more intensely then, all of a sudden he stopped.

“Nathan ...” I said looking at him panting.

“Myra, I don’t want to hurt you”; he said with a sad expression. Lately my skin was bruised or I was having muscle aches after sex. I had become too frail and Nathan felt sick whenever he saw a sign appear or saw an expression of pain on my face. At that moment, however, I wanted it so much that could have been our last time, so I was not ready to give up.

“Nathan please, I need you!” I told him with puppy eyes and a sweet smile, hoping to convince him.

“Myra ...” it was clear from his voice and his expression that he was torn.

“Please”; I begged him once more. After looking at me for a long time, he smiled at me, it was a smile with an aftertaste of sadness. Immediately afterwards he rushed to my lips. He was passionate but sweet at the same time. At that moment I understood that we would make sweet love, that kind of love where souls intertwine, that kind of love that would remain a happy moment for eternity.

When I reached the peak of pleasure I noticed that tears fell from my eyes. It was the moment I felt love and the purest and deepest bond I had ever felt. I felt loved, wanted and above all I felt alive, even if my life was running away.

“I love you, my love”; I told him, my heart filled with love for that extraordinary boy who had turned my life upside down.

“I love you more, Little Bird”; he said, wiping my tears away with his fingers.

We hugged in bed until it was time to get ready for the party.

“You are very beautiful”; Nathan said to me, coming up behind me. I was dressed and made up in front of the mirror which reflected my entire figure.

“And you are very kind”; I answered him with a smile.

“I really think so, you are the most beautiful girl my eyes have ever seen.”

“Before maybe, but now my image has changed, for the worse.”

“Your body has changed, but you are and will always be my lovely Little Bird. I love you so much that nothing can change my mind.”

“Thank you, my love. I would love to see myself with your eyes.”

“Come here”; he pulled me into his arms in front of the mirror, he was always behind me.

“Close your eyes. Breathe. Listen to my voice and focus.”

“What are you doing?”

“Trust me.”

“I trust you.” I said looking into his eyes through the mirror. Immediately after I closed my eyes and took a deep sigh.

“Listen to me. Your hairs are long, silky and shiny like obsidian. I love to stroke and hold these fine black silky threads between my fingers to make you feel my dominance. When I do I have noticed that you are more relaxed.” I smiled at that sentence, it was true I felt just like that, his dominance made me feel safe. Then he continued moving my hair over one shoulder, uncovering the other.

“This is where I should have marked my territory. You should have worn my mark, my tattoo with pride. Not being able to do it drives me crazy and you don’t know how much that hurts us, especially Falco.” He kissed and bit my neck softly in that exact spot. It was a disaster because my panties at that moment began to get wet.

“These breasts are the cups of the Holy Grail.” He said, gently pinching my nipples.

“This is the valley that leads to Mount Venus, the mountain where all my most sinful thoughts roll down the valley.” He said, stroking my abdomen until he reached the center of my body. ‘My Rose’, so he had called it once.

“Your skin is smooth and soft like a baby.” He said, stroking my arms.

“Your unique scent of peach and Frangipane, it is my oxygen. The scent is the sweetest, most intoxicating and exciting that I have ever smelled.” He said sniffing deeply into my hair.

“Were you able to see yourself with my eyes?”

“Yes, I did. I am beautiful, loved and desired.” When I finished saying that sentence Nathan turned me towards him to look into my face.

“You are much more than all this, Myra. You are my world, you are my home, you are my life. I love the woman you are deeply and sincerely, without veils and restrictions.”

“Thank you, I love you madly, my love.” Immediately afterwards Nathan kissed me tenderly.

“Come on, the party is waiting for you to begin!”

He took me in his arms and carried me all the way in his arms, up to the front of the castle.

“Are you ready for the party?” He asked me, as he helped me fix my dress. I looked at the entrance, took a deep breath, turned to look at him and replied: “Yes, I’m ready!”

I was ready for the party, I wasn’t for what was coming next and Nathan didn’t know it yet.
