Chapter 2 Change of Heart

With Xanne next to me, I enjoyed watching the twins.

Goodness, men ought not to be permitted to possess such alluring lips. And those mesmerizing blue eyes, one could get lost in them forever.

I set my gaze on the muscular one, he appears more dominant to me.

My eyes wander downwards to his well-shaped chest, every she-wolf's dream. Eight-pack and all, I can do so much with those pink dots there. This is the perfect mate, magnificent and ideal in every way.

And then my eyes go lower...!

Ahhh, Goddess! These Lycans are generously blessed by Selene! My eyes widened with excitement. Never before had I witnessed a naked man in person and this one was truly worth it all. Although I'd viewed plenty of men online on porn videos on my phone, nothing compared to experiencing such a breathtaking sight right here before me. To confess truthfully, he exceeded even my wildest imagination!

As my body heats up, my mouth becomes dry. Slowly, I glide my tongue over my plump lips.

Xanne and I are both just seventeen, still too young to find mates but old enough to experiment with sex. Though we're still virgins, our fantasies have increasingly become harder to control.

In the evenings, we explore our sexuality by watching porn on the tablet while touching our own bodies with curious hands. It's an amazing adventure that pushes us closer to giving in completely, however, we remain resolute about saving ourselves for our mates who happens to be these two Lycans before us.

"Cissy, just look at their physics, they're absolutely mind blowing. And best of all, they belong to us," I heard Xanne whispered eagerly. "Can't we have them at least once while still keeping our promise to the Luna?" Her voice dripped with lust.

As I glance over at her, I notice that she's still staring intently, as if hypnotized by a particular section of one of them.

"No, no Xanne. You know it's really not possible at the moment. Our priority is to complete this task before time runs out," I reminded her, fervently shaking my head. "You know what my father kept emphasizing to all females in our pack: once we find our mate, we must stay with him. Our place is next to them, we have to follow him to his pack."

She sighs resignedly, but her eyes continuing to lust over the man.

"Yes, I know. Taking a peek wouldn't hurt anyone. Moreover, I'm sure they'll be stationed outside our doorstep for some time and I intend to keep my eyes on the prize," he replied cunningly.

I rise from my spot and walk further into the cave where we have our fridge. I pull out two generously sized salted steaks and start our last meal for the day. Since we couldn't attend Crescent Moon's lavish buffet celebration, we have to fend for ourselves now.

Carrying the juicy steaks, a large bowl of salad and a carafe with icy soda, I make my way towards Xanne. To my great surprise, I see her still staring at the men. Not that I can blame her, the two are by far the hottest ones I've ever laid eyes on.

""We will have to move," I stated, "They are going to come here every day and it'll be increasingly difficult for us to get rid of them. We still need to go work, we've got the evening shift tomorrow."

"Yes, there is another cave closer to Human Town. But we'll come back here to see them, won't we Cissy?" she asked longingly. "They said they were going to stay at Crescent Moon and are excited about courting us."

This girl makes no effort to conceal her horny feelings.

"We'll see. But don't forget what we promised my Luna mother. With only two months left until our eighteenth birthday, we have to leave for the Kingdom soon."

After idling under the tree for an hour, the twins stood up. Within seconds they have shifted back into their imposing black Lycan wolves. They rose onto their hind legs with heads held high before sprinting towards the Crescent Moon.

"Bye, bye, mate. See you again later," whispered Xanne.

She turns to me and takes her plate of food from my hands. Without much thought, she chomps on her steak while gazing off into space. Watching closely, it's apparent that she yearns to give herself completely to her mate and go on a new adventure with him. However, I also sense a deep responsibility weighing heavy on her heart which compels her to join me, even if not entirely enthusiastic about it.

"We will continue to apply the potion for the time being. Now we have to avoid not only members of Crescent Moon but also mates as we may meet them anywhere," I noted while watching her closely.

I am willing to let Xanne go if she shows the slightest indication of a change of heart.

The assignment was given to me, the Luna was my mother. As a member of Eclipse Howlers, it's expected for Xanne to fulfill her duty but there will be no repercussions if she chooses not to do so anymore since our pack link has been severed. We're left with only each other now.

As if sensing my mood, she raises her eyes to me.

"No matter how tempting my mate is, I have given you my word to go to Canada together," she stressed. "The sooner we reach our destination and deliver the box, the sooner I can be with my mate!" She giggles excitedly as her enthusiasm grows.

Well, at least it's something.

After finishing our meal, we cleaned our plates together. Our camping beds are situated in the corner of a cave where a glimmer of light seeps through an opening above, illuminating enough to prevent complete darkness.

On this evening, we decided to retire early. After a quick bath in our makeshift bathroom using buckets of cold water, we finally went to bed completely exhausted.

Our visit to Crescent Moon, the pack responsible for the death of our family, was emotionally challenging. The sight of their former Alpha, a proud yet cruel man with a piercing gaze, was overwhelming as he's accountable for the massacre. I couldn't stop the tears from flowing at that moment.

To make matters worse, his son, Dimitri is his spitting image.

With the young Alpha in mind, I fall into a deep sleep...
