Chapter 4 No.4

AMALA

CRASH!

My body jolts and collides against the bottom of the barrel and my eyes shoot open from the impact.

"Well, that's the first one. Let's get the rest of them back in the truck."

"We need more backup, boss!" The other whines. "There are too many of them!"

"Quit complainin' and let's go!" The voices become distant as their footsteps move farther away.

But I can't believe that I dozed off into a deep sleep! The dream I have isn't exactly great either but it reminded me of my resolve to return to Amy.

After all, Amy is alone at home, waiting for me.

I open the barrel lid and slowly peek to see if the coast is clear. The room is dark and I am surrounded by the stock berries of crates and barrels.

Seriously, what's with the wolves' obsession with berries tonight?

"This must be the storage room of Diamond Hotel," I mutter to myself, seeing that no one is around.

I jump out of the barrel and slowly sneak out of the storage room. I see another room across the hallway.

A laundry room filled with machines that are still working and some clothes are hanging on the clotheslines.

My eyes flicker as a thought comes to my mind.

==================

I have no other choice. If I want a higher chance of escape, I should blend in with the crowd.

So I stole some clothes and threw my old, worn ones to the incinerator.

The dress doesn't even look exactly expensive either. The bodice dark blue dress that hugs the curves of my body is a bit short as its skirt reaches at the tip of my knees. I kicked off my old combat navy boots and replaced them with black leather shoes which were conveniently situated next to the dress.

I do hope I won't attract attention, seeing that I just sneakily come out from the lower ground floor.

Fortunately, they are too distracted with the music, the loud chatters and the food they consume that once again, I am lucky enough to roam casually around.

The place I am in now is the function room of the Diamond Hotel. I recognize the familiar faces of affluent families from the human side. These are those who benefit the wolves and remain wealthy as long as they provide what the wolves want.

Yet, this is the first time I'm seeing the two races blend together in one place, enjoying without a sound of prejudice.

No, I don't have time to dawdle, I need to leave quietly.

However, when I pass by the buffet table, my stomach grumbles as my eyes glue at the sight of fancy food I will never get in a lifetime.

And next to it, as I can't help my lips curved into a smile, is filled with more berries. Is today a berry festival for these wolves?

"Excuse me," one of the staff of the hotel approaches me with a clear skeptical look in his eyes. "Do you mind showing us your ID as your proof of identification?"

Oh, crap. I spoke too soon that I would be safe from their suspicions.

I turn to them as I give my most dazzling smile.

"Do you ask this to every human in the vicinity, young gents?"

The two exchange looks. "Err...we are asking because we haven't seen you before."

"Oh my," I say with exaggeration as I give a dramatic gasp. Then give them a glare. "How could you not know that I, Audrey Hepburn, a world renowned thespian of stage plays, huh?"

"Ma'am, your name isn't in the list."

"Then, shall I ask the Alpha, Richard Bates, to come here for confirmation, hm?" I smirk. "I happen to know him personally and I'm well acquainted with the Alpha. I am sure he wouldn't mind meeting you, gents and having a "private" talk."

They both flinch at the mention of Amy's biological dad. He's notoriously known around the human district for being too cruel to humans like us.

"I'm s-sorry, ma'am. W-we thought-'' his face turns red with embarrassment. "If you excuse us."

And the staff members scurry away, leaving me alone as I continue acting haughty and entitled and give a loud harumph.

Not going to lie, it was a whim that I pulled through this act and I am proud of my performance.

Now, I can't go out until I am completely off the radar of the guests here. I sigh as my eyes wander back to the buffet table and I feel like I am salivating.

M-maybe I will stay here a bit and I can sneak some food down to my bag. I'm sure they won't notice a thing. Amy will be delighted to have these luxurious food for dinner.

As I slowly gather my food and give those who are staring at me with my smile, I am thinking everything will be fine.

I will be back home safe before I know it.

"Welcome to the Red Moon Celebration," a young beautiful woman catches our attention at the stage. "As it is nearly midnight, I would like to thank all of you for attending this event."

The guests applaud afterwards and while their attention is on that emcee, I immediately grab some turkey meat and put them inside my bag.

"We will also thank our Alpha and Luna of the Greymound Pack for sponsoring this event."

More applause and cheers.

Good, good. I can't help but hum to my content to get more food. All of these will be all in my bag and if only I have a container, I can bring that pasta.

"To the fortunate humans who are chosen to be here, witness your first Red Moon celebration with us." She chuckles. "Of course, you humans can't see it but oh well, be thankful that you are all here with us tonight."

I roll my eyes. Like I give a damn.

"Now that it is only a minute before the Red Moon, let the celebration begin!"

Well, go ahead and enjoy your time, wolves. Don't mind me gathering more food but as I give a sideways glance to look at the female emcee, my hand nearly drops the chicken meat as I am taken aback from what I've just seen.

The female emcee strips herself naked in front of the audience as her red, glittery night dress drops on the floor. Her breasts and her bare womanhood is exposed for everyone to see.

"W-what the–?" I gasp.

Not long after, the wolves all strip themselves naked while the remaining people are at awe at their beauty.

Hot bodies glisten with sweat and I blush at the sight of multiple hardened dicks from male wolves as they look like they're ready to pounce.

When the dark misty clouds slowly dissipate and reveal a huge full moon, the wolves' eyes turn red before tackling each other with a searing kiss.

Next to me the male wolf slams his female mate against the buffet table as platters of food shatter on the floor. I flinch as two hottest people I've seen in my life are making out next to the pasta chafing dish as his dick positions on her hole before giving one powerful thrust.

"AAAAAAAAH!"

The woman gives a euphoric scream that I give a frightful shriek. But my own scream is being muffled by the moans and grunts of the whole function room.

The aroma of sex is filled in the air as I am beyond shocked and repulsed by the sight of public indecency.

I was expecting them to dance or drink some kind of fancy wine, not some damn orgy!

So, this is what the Red Moon is about? To fuck at midnight until dawn? Wolves are indeed disgusting creatures!

'I need to get outta here!' I take my bag and am ready to leave but a large hand grabs my wrist.

I shiver, fear strikes me as I slowly turn around.

One of the wolves with red eyes staring lustfully at me.

"Where do you think you're going, human?"

======

SETH

The Red Moon Ceremony has begun and as usual, the wolves are influenced by the Red Moon's magic and their lust for their mates heightened.

This is the last place I haven't been to in my search for my fated mate.

"My Alpha," Marie's sultry voice hardens my arousal to fuck as her fingers trail to my chest. "Why aren't you naked on such an important night?" Her bare breasts press against my back. "Come to bed and make love to me, Alpha!"

At the back of my mind, I have a desire to cave in to her wishes and ram her to fill her until dawn.

But...

I won't waste my opportunity tonight. She has to be here! My fated mate wouldn't miss such an opportunity of a grand Red Moon festival like this!

"My l-lord...Seth! Where are you going?!" She calls my name, looking at my retreating figure as I head down from the VIP private room and down to the function room.

The pheromones are strong. And every inch of this room is intoxicated with sex. The humans have finally joined the ceremony as the daughter of the mayor is being entertained by four of my men, the waiters are being joined to our ceremony and now everywhere I go, you see everyone being fucked from left to right.

"Let go of me!"

Except for one.

A human girl dressed with the tackiest blue bodice dress is being held by one of the male Omegas. Her long, dark high boots are a mismatched to her dress and she is oddly carrying a dirty, ripped backpack.

Yet, despite her odd sense of fashion, the human has a beautiful slender body as the bodice dress emphasizes her perfect hourglass curves. If only I can see her face as her back is all I see from my view.

"I have you know, I am the infamous Audrey Hepburn! I won't tolerate this harrassment!" She yells as she attempts to pull her arm away from the wolves.

And now with her futile escape as two wolves grab her wrists and they start to feel her up, she keeps yelling in fear as she continues to struggle.

Just then, my eyes widen as I feel her pain and fear. My feet move on their own as I shove the wolf and pull her away from them.

"W-who do you think y-you–?!" His anger immediately diminishes when he sees me and his eyes widen with fear.

"A-Alpha S-Seth, s-sir?"

But I haven't paid attention to them as my body stiffens the moment I touch her skin, bringing a different feeling in my whole being.

When she turns, my breath hitches as I couldn't stop looking at this small human: tanned skin with large doe bright gray eyes and fuller red lips, her ebony black hair is tied in a bun, obscuring her natural hue of rose-red cheekbones. She wears no make-up and that's what makes her...magnificent.

I could have mistaken her as one of us with such raw beauty.

No, she's human. Her scent gives away that she doesn't have a single ounce of wolf blood in her.

Yet...

Like I am being hypnotized, my heart beats faster as my wolf becomes erratic, howling through my ears. But I didn't pay attention to my wolf for the first time. As I couldn't stop looking at her.

My hands lift to place her warm cheeks on their own-

"H-Hey! W-what are you doing?!" Fear genuinely shows in those eyes. "Y-you can't do this to-!"

I shut her up by claiming her lips, savoring her taste.

A foreign feeling gushing through my whole body and it reaches right to my already hardened cock.

This human...this feeling!

Without a doubt, she is the mate I've been searching for twelve years.
