The Untold Prophecy of Moon Goddess

6. Uncertainty

Louis

It was becoming increasingly difficult for me to stay away from Selena. Her mere presence was enough to stir up my primal urges, and I was struggling to control my wolfish desires. To make matters worse, the Haze season was approaching, a time when the urges of werewolves to claim their mates were at their strongest. If I did not claim Selena before the Haze season began, I would be unable to resist my wolf's demands, and I would mark her even without her consent.

As the future werewolf king, I have more resistance to the Haze season than other werewolves, but I am not immune to it. I know that at some point, I will have to give in to my urges and claim Selena. However, I do not want to scare her. I want her to come to me willingly, with all her heart, soul, and body.

Selena

Taylor called me, inviting me to join them in the evening for a party at the newly opened club "Mistress Mysteries" in town. This club had been gaining popularity for unusual reasons, rumors suggesting it was connected to the underworld or involved in illegal activities. People tend to spread such rumors when they can't comprehend the real story.

I welcomed this break before immersing myself in full-fledged competition mode for the Architectonics award coming up next week.

As Lauren was expected to arrive at this hour to prepare for our night out at the club, I heard the doorbell ring.

"Girl, if you weren't here, I don't know how I'd manage," I confessed.

"Chill, Sel. I brought your evening dress; I'm sure you'll love it."

When I laid eyes on the dress - a little black skater dress with a halter neck, sleeveless, and a fully open back - it was sizzling hot, and we both let out a scream of excitement, followed by hysterical laughter.

"What's going on, girls? Have you lost your minds? Why all the shouting?" my mom inquired.

"Mom, just look at this dress; it was an absolute necessity," I explained.

"Aunt Lisa, Sel is going to look stunning and sexy in this," Lauren chimed in.

"True, Lauren," my mom agreed. "Now, girls, get ready and show me before you head out; I want to take some pictures."

"Okay, Mom. Okay, Aunt," we replied in unison.

Lauren had dressed in a leather mini skirt, a crop top, and a pair of boots. I slipped into my little black dress, paired it with strappy heels, applied nude makeup, and styled my hair in loose waves.

We came to the living room where my mom awaited us, camera in hand.

"Girls, send me all your candid pictures, and enjoy yourselves to the fullest. You're adults now, but please stay within limits. The boys will look out for you," she advised.

Rest assured, Aunt Lisa," Taylor reassured as they arrived at the gate, with Robert and Peter echoing his words.

"Oh, la la! Both of you look incredible. We're going to a club, not to battle men," Peter teased.

"Thanks for the compliment!" Lauren laughed.

"Alright, Mom, we're off! Take care, and I'll be back tomorrow, you know why," I said, winking at her.

"Have a great time, all of you! Boys, take care of the girls, and don't drink too much," my mom cautioned as we headed out.

I had a feeling that this was going to be a night I would never forget.

I received an unexpected call from fellow Alphas who ruled over territories in different parts of the USA. They wanted to congratulate me on my upcoming werewolf King ceremony and the role of leader and protector I was about to assume.

Jacob had organized their gathering at our newly established club, Mistress Mysteries. This club was unique in that it welcomed both werewolves and humans, allowing them to interact and potentially find their mates among each other.

I decided to keep things casual, opting for a shirt and matching trousers. I rolled up my sleeves and left a few buttons undone, not in the mood for formal attire and feeling somewhat uneasy deep down.

Jacob couldn't resist teasing me, remarking, "Man, you're going to turn heads in that look. The ladies are already swooning over you, and now you're tempting the guys too. Will you be my date tonight?"

I playfully growled in response, "Give it a rest, man! Even if I were gay, I wouldn't settle for you. You're too cheesy sometimes."

Switching to a serious note, I asked, "Have you made all the necessary preparations for the arrival of the Alphas?"

"Yes, I've ensured everything is secure, no boundary breaches, and everyone is on high alert, Alpha," Jacob assured.

"Great, let's head out then. By the way, you're looking good too, Jacob," I complimented him.

Together with Noah, my 3rd-in-command, we drove to our new club, where this gathering with the egoistic Alphas would take place.

Upon arrival, we moved to our private space on the third floor, specifically designed for such meetings. It offered a view of the city and the club's activities through see-through windows, while ensuring outsiders couldn't see inside. The room was soundproof and equipped with advanced technology.

We welcomed all eight Alphas and took our seats in a way that allowed us to observe the club's activities below. People were dancing, drinking, indulging in desires, and stripping.

"It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, King Louis," Alpha Steve of the Green Wood Pack expressed. "I'd like to propose a toast in celebration of your forthcoming ceremony, honoring your leadership."

I graciously accepted, responding, "Thank you for the toast, Alpha Steve. It's an honor to have the support of the Green Wood Pack and all the other packs."

"Allow me to introduce my Beta, Jacob Stuart, my second-in-command, and Gamma, Noah Andreas, my third-in-command," I continued. "They're not only esteemed pack members but also my closest childhood friends."

Jacob, with a sly wink, chimed in, "If you require anything during your stay, please don't hesitate to let me know. I've made sure all your entertainment needs are covered."

I added, "Indeed, he's the go-to person for all your arrangements. Trust me, gentlemen, he's the best in this field."

"Enjoy the feast everyone!" I said with a smile. "I do have other matters to attend to, but I'll be available whenever needed."

I rose from my seat, leaving the room and heading to my personal suite to handle pack business. Suddenly, a familiar scent of lavender and vanilla caught my attention, suggesting that Selena was nearby. I approached the see-through window, and what I saw filled me with anger.
