母女的秘密授课

Emily pointed at the blue attire on the couch, this was a few hours’ ritual, with the peak of it being in the middle of the night, where the alpha would announce Eros as his new beta and give him a mark, which would solidify that he was a part of Shadow Moon pack now.

“You will be there too,” Eros said, as he got up from the bed and then walked toward the clothes on the couch.

“I don’t think I will be,” Emily murmured to herself. She didn’t think that it would be a great thing for her, a human, to be in a shifters’ ceremony. They would hate it. Moreover, Ariana had told her that she should stay back, since it would draw attention to her and only make them hate her even more.

It would make her an uninvited guest after all.

“Why not?” Eros started to undress himself. He tossed his shirt and Emily looked the other way, as blush spread to her cheekbones and this didn’t go unnoticed by Eros.

“Because Ariana said this is a sacred ceremony for you and all the other shifters. They would only hate me more if I were to come there,” Emily said after she cleared her throat.

Before, it was not a big problem for them to change clothes or undress in front of one another, but it seemed everything started to change. Emily became even more self conscious around him now.

“This ceremony is for me and I want you to be there,” Eros said, as he put on his clothes and then took the pants to the bathroom, to change into them there.

.....

The tension visibly faded when Eros decided to go and change in the bathroom. Emily didn’t know when it was exactly, since they were always together and Eros literally took care of her, but something had changed during the past five years between them.

They grew up and became more aware of themselves. It was not only Eros, who had his body changed, but Emily as well.

They were no longer innocent children, who could care less about their nakedness.

“Change your dress, I want you to be there,” Eros said after he came out of the bathroom in a blue shirt and matching pants. His attire was a dark shade of blue, with long sleeves, which looked too long for him, since the beta before him had been taller and older than Eros right now.

Emily wanted to refuse, but Eros had walked out of the room. “I will wait for you in the dining room.”

“But, I am not allowed there,” Emily immediately said. She was surprised that Eros even suggested that, since both of them knew that place was off limits for her.

“I am the beta now. They need to learn to accept that and learn to accept you too.” That was final. Eros was fed up with them not wanting Emily around in the pack house.

During these five years, Emily had been walking on eggshells, trying to be like a ghost, to not draw any attention to herself, because they wouldn’t hesitate to pick on her.

Not only the warriors, but even the omegas in this pack despised her.

It was a long story, but Eros learned that all the omegas here were from different packs, and were accepted to live in the Shadow Moon pack by the previous alpha, because their packs were destroyed by humans.

It was understandable that they hated humans, since they were forced to be part of this pack and were not treated right to top it, but had no other options to survive in this realm. They relied on the protection of this pack.

“I will wait there.” Eros closed the door, leaving her alone, so she could change her clothes more comfortably.

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

“There will be a ceremony for the new beta in the pack tonight,” Nikolai reported to his commander, Jasmine, the information that he managed to get before they ambushed them tonight. “It will be by the river, so it means the pack house will be less guarded later.”

Jasmine listened to him. She knew the previous beta, Damon, but she was not sure what happened to him until Liam looked for another one.

“Prepare everyone, we will attack now,” Jasmin commanded.

Nikolai was slightly confused with that and voiced out his concern. “It is only three hours before the middle of the night, isn’t it best if we wait until then.”

However, Jasmine threw him a dagger look. “I am the commander and my order is clear. You can opt out of this mission if you feel the necessity to question me.”

Nikolai lowered his head and walked away from Jasmine, to prepare all the people for this big event. This was not their original plan.

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

Zuri watched in horror when she saw there were a lot of centaurs in this forest. They emerged from the shadows of the dense trees and showed themselves in front of Chaos.

They didn’t dare to walk closer to him, as if his presence alone was enough to make them back away, yet these mythical creatures still surrounded them, staring at Chaos with curiousity or cold eyes.

“What do you want here, Chaos?” one of them asked him with his low and deep voice. He was very tall, even taller than Chaos, of course, with half of his body being a horse.

The color of their horse bodies was the same as the color of their hair.

“Tell me what you see about her.” Chaos pushed Zuri forward slightly, to expose her to these centaurs. “Tell me everything.”
