Alpha Jeremiah and his wife arrived at the house no sooner than the exact time they had Conversed. The alphas' wife was a fan of keeping time and she hated lack of punctuality. She had however taken much more time to go around the perimeter herself and make sure that none of the men had sprayed them or failed to properly counter-check their surroundings. The Lunar believed in handling matters herself and she hardly ever placed her trust in anyone else. The relationship between her and her husband was anything but perfect. To the outside world, both Jeremiah and Mira kept the perfect reputation. They were known as the perfect couple, the one that United in place of a large allegiance and brought peace to the kingdom that was once in distress.
''Do we seriously need to keep doing this? The gentlemen are waiting for us inside.'' alpha Jeremiah said for the hundredth time as he followed his wife behind.'' There was no one else that handled Luna Mira better than alpha Jeremiah. Even though they both of them acted like we hated each other, they looked out for each other the best. Luna Mira was still forgiving of the things that alpha Jeremiah had done to him years back. Equally, alpha Jeremiah still held luna Mira accountable for certain deaths due to her stubbornness. both of them were broken Souls that still held on to the sins of each other's past.
'' It would appear to me like I have to do everything by myself. I clearly told these guards that they needed to position themselves at least 100 m away from the house or else it would all look suspicious around the neighborhood.'' Luna Myra said.
'' you,'' she called out in an annoyed tone. '' did I not give specific instructions that you do not position yourself this close to the house? Are you trying to sell us out or something?''
The guard who was being addressed seemed nervous and worried. The Luna was known for her hot temper and only her husband seemed to calm her down. Even though lunar Myra was loved all over the kingdom and by her people, It was highly advised that no one got on her nerves or else they would face the consequences.
''I'm sorry my queen, but the Alpha gave us different orders to stay in the perimeter of the house and make sure that the both of you are well protected during this mission.'' the werewolf soldier responded, eyes still looking down away from the lunar or the alpha. It was a sign of both respect and fear. The werewolf community was releashed in fear. it was the only thing that still kept them going. they powered their emotions and made them function with much higher consciousness. It was a weapon and not a weakness.
Luna Myra was looking at her husband as though he had grown another beard. She hated whenever Alpha Jeremiah overthrew her orders and gave new ones. She felt it as a sign of disrespect.
'' come on my love, let me explain this.'' alpha Jeremiah says watching his wife's expression as she clenched her fist. He already knew what lunar Mira would say. she had said it a thousand times. that alpha Jeremiah did not respect her position or her authority. mistress Mira hated feeling like a fool.
he nodded at the guard who positioned himself at a distance far from them.
'' so you not only find pleasure in belittling me when we are in private but you have also started doing it in public as well?'' Luna Myra asks in amusement.
''It's not like that my love. it is just that..''
'' don't call me my love again, that word honestly irritates me. I give specific rules and you just made me look like a fool. it appears to me like you never take this Union seriously.''
'' But I do, I love you and you know it. I just rechecked the last second and realized that we might be having a little bit of trouble if we didn't have enough security. this is why I also positioned guards near our perimeter.''
''And why didn't you see the need to inform me this? wasn't this all about communication? you yourself sat me down and told me that we needed to talk about our relationship. I thought that you were changing and that you were ready for us to make this work. 10 years into this marriage and you still treat me like a child.''
'' no my love, You are the most intelligent and strategic person I know. At least listen to what I have to say.'' Alpha Jeremiah begged as he watched his wife slowly begin to walk away.
''I don't care what you have to say for yourself, '' she responds. ''Do you really understand what the Essence is in keeping these drugs at a 100m perimeter?''
Alpha Jeremiah is quiet, staring at his wife as he lets her make her point.
'' look around, you see her.'' Luna Myra speaks pointing at the house next door. We are a woman standing across the open window taking pictures with a camera.
'' If we had not come with such a large convoy, and if you did not place so many guards around then we would not have made the neighbor suspicious. she is already taking pictures, I understand that humans are stupid but they are not naive. What do you think will happen when she takes those pictures to their authorities and nothing in their database is found about us? all you're doing is bringing attention towards us and here I thought that I could have a better strategy.''
Alpha Jeremiah only remained quiet. He watched as his wife walked away towards the house. He had learned over the years and understood that it was better to just keep quiet and let his wife voice out her emotions. That is the only way that things worked perfectly between them. communication was key in their relationship. When it came to Luna Mira, she had no problem with voicing out how she felt.
But would that same characteristic come to brew problems when they collected lily?
