Best Days Of My Life

SCOTT POV

Diana was fast asleep as soon as I laid her on the bed. Her soft snores were endearing, magnetizing me to stare a bit longer. Diana's luscious lips tremble in every breath, swelling from too much kissing. I will never understand how she's unbelievably tempting in every way. Whether she's eating, just woken up or sleeping, she has this effortless beauty that's perfectly enticing, summoning the animal in me.

When we got home from a long day of touring in the town, I hastily found myself nestled in her sweet mouth tasting every bit of her, loving every inch of her. Intoxicated in her lovely scent, I completely thought that the world stopped revolving as I cherish my Luna in my arms.

Hours before the full moon, she's still in deep slumber. Probably tired from making love, Diana is unmoved from how I placed her on bed. I wouldn't want to wake her so I left her a note that I'll be in the town plaza to personally welcome the arrival of the wolf clans.

Earlier today, there were moments that I hear critter sounds nearby, unidentified creatures that are very careful not to be sensed fully. Thinking of my Luna's safety, I left her a silver dagger I personally made. When she stabbed one of the men in the island, her close range fighting skills were astounding, considering she only used a steak knife for her defense.

However, this dagger is much more different. It releases poison when stabbed that can easily take down even a healthy horse. In a world filled with danger, it is best to have my Luna get weaponized to protect herself especially when I'm not around.

Honestly, I contemplated deep in my mind if I would let her join the moonbath. It wouldn't be comfortable for a lady to see naked people as soon as they return to their human forms after basking under the full moon. Also, she might see imprinted couples being intimate out in the woods, for the full moon does not only replenishes our strenghts but it also increases our sexual drives.

But in some instance, I want her to be engaged in all wolf ceremonies, culture and traditions. Hoping that it could 'release' the screaming wolf in her hard shell. With caution and protection, I and the pack intend to let her experience what she has been missing because after all, she's a wolf.

Closing the door and locking it from inside, I stood outside as I hear the critter sounds again. Surveying the area until the sounds faded in the dark, I called Cory and David to standby the Lockwoods' perimeter in case the creature comes back.

At first, I thought it was my imagination. Then, I would hear the same sound from a fleshly being everywhere with Diana. From the Devlins' sanctuary, to here in the Lockwoods cottage, the creature seem to follow my Luna.

In long strides and fast paces, I walked my way to the town plaza. The streets were lighted in vibrancy, keeping the pavements clear as the day. As I arrive, I was welcomed by a large crowd of people of different gender and ages surrounding the round stage set up in the middle. All men were shirtless with only their trousers on, and the ladies were wearing the cream goddess dress made special for this tradition. By the look in their faces, they all appear to be thrilled for the moonbath.

The Devlins have already arrived as well. As expected, Stanley is standing on his feet looking as strong as a beast drinking with the elders. Before I left for the town, I gave him the cannister of T-pills so I could see in my own eyes how it works well for him. Despite sensing my Luna's essence in that small piece of cannister, I decided to give the old man what he desperately needs. After all, I couldn't bear to see him suffer like he does lately.

"I heard you imprinted", the old man said as he exhaled sharply. "I told you, you aren't suppose to imprint", he added gritting his teeth.

"It's not like I can stop it", I replied.

"Are you alright? Has anything bad happened?", Stanley checked my body as he turn me side to side.

"Been living the best days of my life since that day", I said as I tap his shoulder. Stanley smiled back, with very worried eyes.

In a few minutes, the nearby clans who pledged to moonbathe with our clan this month arrived one by one.

The Black Creek Clan, headed by Roman Brooke, turned up with men wearing black trousers, and ladies in black dresses.

"Roman Brooke", I shook his hand with a warm smile.

"Scott Devlin.", he gripped my hand and gave way to a taller man with long black dreadlocks. "This is Gunner Hayes, my confidant", he added.

"Welcome. Ready for tonight?", I asked.

"We're born ready", Gunner replied with a smirk.

It was then Elder Velvet requested my presence on stage to open the ceremony and welcome the clans. I went up the stage in front of the assembled multitude, a better spot to see my Luna. The people started cheering and howling as soon as I became visible up stage.

"The night is particularly remarkable. To be surrounded by great men, and respectable women filled with big desires, high hopes and pleasant dreams we all share, the positivity radiates in perfection to each one of us as we gather together as sons of the moon. I, Scott Devlin the Alpha of the Grayback Clan would like to honor everyone's presence for tonight's moonbath. It is clear to me that we are united as one with your loyalty and love for the moon goddess. For the imprint gifted by the moon goddess to instantly get the love we deserve, for the strenght we replenish for our mortal bodies, for the immense power we possess on our own hands.. tonight, the moon is ours", the crowd cheered even louder as I howl for the moon. Before I went down the stage, my Luna is still nowhere to be found. I, then, started to feel uneasy.

I went to my pack who were engaged with Roman in a conversation. Drinking a couple of ale, we waited at the plaza before we could head onto the wilderness.

Not too long, my beautiful Diana appeared wearing a denim jacket, emerald green dress and black and white sneakers. She's beautiful than the evening star, and calming as a moonglow. Her sole presence give ease to my mind and soul.

I glanced at Roman, who appears to be in a daze staring ahead. His eyes were glistening, hypnotized under a spell. He seemed like he stopped breathing, with his body stiff as a board. In staggered steps, he tried to go forth.

I called his name several times, he didn't even moved, or bothered to look. Still mesmerized where his ears seemed blocked, hearing nothing from the outside world.

Damn. I know this look.

I glowered when I realized with whom he locked his gaze at. Clenching my fist, I darkened my eyes in disbelief on how the moon goddess once again is playing tricks on me.
