The sun was shining blindingly, a well-built man narrowed his eyes. His hands moved to try to block the sunlight from hitting his face. Failingly, the sound of a girl's soft laughter could be heard nearby.
"You are the strongest Alpha candidate in our pack," said a girl with long curly hair, her big eyes sparkling, Morgan felt his handshake gently, he opened his eyes slowly and saw clearly who was now in front of him.
"Giselle?"
"I will be your number one supporter!"
The girl giggled again, she grabbed Morgan's hand and ran across the wide meadow.
"Giselle."
Morgan let the girl take him away, his steps were light, the breeze blew against his face, and he closed his eyes for a moment.
His head felt dizzy, there were rough shadows that overlapped that appeared when he closed his eyes, like pieces of film spinning, Morgan frowned. He was momentarily dazed.
What has happened?
Why doesn't he remember anything?
Morgan felt like he had been in this place before. It felt like a reenactment of the scene, but he didn't understand where he was going wrong, in his heart, he wondered, is this the future? Present time? Or is it the past?
"Morgan, look! I found a secret place here. " The girl stopped in her steps, her curly hair swaying down her back. They were on the edge of a cliff, she pointed to a place down there, a waterfall covered by dense forest and full of large rocks.
Morgan blinked, his heart beating fast.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Giselle sat on the edge of the cliff, and Morgan immediately followed her right next to her.
"Yes, it is beautiful."
Giselle giggled softly, her hand tightly gripping Morgan's, and the girl unhesitatingly rested her head on the man's arm.
"I hope in the future we can have a house near a waterfall, so I can hear the sound of the rippling water."
Morgan smiled, he turned and looked at Giselle intently. Seeing the glint of hope in the girl's eyes, Morgan moved his hand and caressed her face gently.
"It's okay, we are still young and can continue to grow a few more years to make our dreams come true," Giselle spoke again, and she pressed her body close.
Morgan nodded his head, his lips uncontrollable. "Yeah, we still have plenty of time for that."
"Morgan, what are you going to do at the coming of maturity ceremony? Can you beat Luke?"
Morgan was stunned, Luke's name had not been heard in a long time, Luke was one of his competitors as an Alpha in the Blue Moon pack, he was a quiet and aloof man. His body shape was not as good as Morgan's, but he had extraordinary height.
"I can, don't worry." Morgan stroked Giselle's head gently, he knew very well his abilities and he knew very well the abilities of his enemy.
The Blue Moon pack is just like other wolf packs, a maturity ceremony is held to choose who deserves to be a true Alpha. This season, it's Morgan and Luke as the strongest Alpha candidates who will be at stake in the fight for the Alpha position in the future.
"It's okay if you lose," Giselle said with a smile. She touched the boy's chest and patted him lightly. "I hate to see you hurt."
Morgan chuckled softly, pulling Giselle fully against his chest.
"Don't worry, wounds won't kill me that easily."
Giselle chuckled, she puffed her cheeks in annoyance.
Morgan, behind her, just chuckled. Feeling exasperated by Giselle actions, he brought his nose to the top of Giselle's head, smelling the sweet scent he liked the most in Giselle.
For some reason, Morgan closed his eyes. He missed this scent as if he hadn't smelled this sweet scent in a long time. He wrapped his arms around Giselle's waist, feeling warm and fitting for her.
A feeling of pain and deep longing suddenly rose in his heart.
What exactly happened?
"Dear!" Giselle suddenly exclaimed, she lifted her head at Morgan." Let's call each other Dear!"
Morgan laughed, feeling funny at Giselle's words. "Dear? That sounds weird. "
Giselle shook her head, she snorted. "That's not strange at all, it's natural for couples to call their partners by nicknames."
Giselle straightened, she looked straight at Morgan and patted his arm.
"Let's try it. Well ... let's go back home, Dear."
Morgan burst out laughing, he even almost fell to the ground when he saw Giselle face reddened with embarrassment, Giselle chuckled, she got up and crossed her arms.
"Don't laugh, it's our favorite nickname."
"Ah, fine." Morgan stood up and wiped the corners of his slightly wet eyes, he hugged Giselle from behind. "I won't laugh anymore, Dear."
Giselle's cheeks reddened, she nodded shyly. Her hands were quietly intertwined nervously.
Morgan rubbed Giselle's head, he then brought the girl back to their pack in a relaxed manner, he patiently listened to all of Giselle's ramblings. The cheerful voice continued to enter his ears, Morgan was not bothered at all. Even if he had to hear it all day long, he could do it with pleasure.
Because this babbler is Giselle, his soul mate who was cut off by the moon goddess, part of his future.
Morgan smiled, he linked their hands and squeezed them gently, Giselle was everything to Morgan, who would always be by his side. She was the most beautiful person of any Luna, Giselle was his alone.
Giselle felt that Morgan had not said a word. The man just smiled and looked at her intently, the girl poked Morgan's waist with her index finger.
"Am I so beautiful that you don't blink at all, Dear?"
The corners of Morgan's lips twitched. Although he still felt unfamiliar with their beloved nickname, he still tried to please Giselle.
"You are the most beautiful, dear."
Giselle laughed, amused herself when she heard the call coming from her partner's lips, she put her index finger on Morgan's lips.
"It should only be said when we are alone, lest others know."
Morgan nodded his head, he understood exactly what Giselle meant. He wouldn't protest at all with Giselle opinion, because it felt weird and embarrassing if they called each other by their favorite nickname in front of other werewolves.
"Okay, that means Dear will become our secret nickname, agree?"
Giselle nodded her head quickly, her lips curled into a wide smile, and her hands moved around the man's neck.
"Of course, I agree, Dear."
