I THE SCENTS: Chocolate Mint [sequel of Bloody Chocolate]

21

Ceres

At this very night, everything was finally settled; those ladies didn't want me here finally came back to their senses and accepted me as well the changes coming in the pack. Everything was falling into place but one thing I'm not certain about was the ceremony they've been talking about.

"Tomorrow, let's head to the ceremony for the kids as well for the new Alpha and Luna of the pack." The Beta said with such excitement with a bit alcohol in his system.

"Why it has to be tomorrow?" Frizabelle asked with groaned in her tone that made the others in the table wondered why she was acting like that.

Of course, I just laughed at her reaction.

"It's her graduation at eight." I chuckled as I let the information out that earned me pinch onto my sides.

"Then it'll be triple celebration then." Yume added that made Frizabelle groaned since she doesn't want to attend it.

Seriously, I don't get the ceremony part but it's a wolf thing and I can't do anything about it. Its their tradition.

Anyway, as the fun and noisy small snack party at the dining area kept on going, I ditched them without being noticed. I seriously can't keep up with the noises for now plus there was some disturbing flashes inside my mind. I took some walked around the house because those flashes were blurred but I felt it has something to do with Rupert's death and the bond of the kids. I sighed just thinking of it until I remember something from the past when I got into music room.

"It's been awhile..." I mumbled while smiling before I sat down to it and began to play some melody that came into my mind.

I was enjoying this moment since I've been missing this sanctuary of music. I missed on how the sound of the instruments could make me felt so calm and cradled. It was so peaceful until I smelled my mate's scent - her chocolate mint scent.

"I miss that." Frizabelle said as she walked toward me.

"So am I." I agreed to her since my hands felt so alive when it touches the keys from the piano.

"We should teach the kids." She told me as she snaked her arms around my neck while I kept playing on the piano.

"Yeah, everything they need to know." I smiled as I thought of the kids playing some instruments.

"So, shall we get them?" she asked me that really sound ridiculous but I won't say that to her.

"As you wish, my queen." I chuckled then she kissed my cheeks before heading back to the dining to excuse ourselves for tonight.

We left the Irismoon pack since we planned to get the kids and returned to the pack with them.

On our way back to the Lone Rogues sanctuary, I felt the urge to tell her what's my plan for the pack and I must explained why I said that when the King of the Wolves dropped off earlier to meet me.

"Belle, the reason I entrusted you my heritance was because of the pack plus, I plan on getting the remaining Achilles Blood as well the Lone Rogues." I told her while we're walking deeply into the woods.

"Why include the Achilles Blood?" Frizabelle asked me since the Achilles Blood just attacked us and wanted to kill our kids.

"They're still part of the Lone Rogues and since their foul scents lifted, I must straighten them up before they gone worse than we've encounter. They need guidance also, they're going to be great help for everyone whether in combat skills that's why I must settle it first before complete to be your Luna." I replied honestly as I hope she'll understand where I'm coming from.
