It was nighttime but Devon was still sleeping beside me. His arm hugged my waist while his head rested on my neck where his mark is. He looked calm and contented. He told me that he officially resigned as the Alpha of the Tibolo pack and renounced his pack. He was not lying about the rouge part.
He had a newly formed council, and he declared his Beta, Luca, as the new Alpha of Tibolo pack. They shared the same perception of authority and power, that's why Devon was confident that his previous pack was safe.
His father died a year ago. He was suffering from depression after losing his mate, Tessa. His body gave up since his wolf disconnected with him. The other council members and their previous Beta Javier left their pack... they did not want to follow his ideology. Devon respected their opinions but had offered that they could come back whenever they wished to.
I kept stirring and wiggling. I wanted to stand up and calm my nerves down. Alora, my wolf, was elated when we saw our mate after two years of drifting apart and she was causing me to feel jittery. She never talked to me after the day we left Devon. She only came forward when needed or threatened. It felt good to have your wolf come back to her usual giddy self.
"If you won't sleep, Ayumi. I'll make love to you again and again until your body can't take, I'm considerate enough to let you rest so you better sleep woman." Devon commented while his eyes were still closed. He pulled me even closer, tightened his hug.
"It's Alora's doing... she kept jumping in my head." I complained.
"Figured! you want to run with Drew?" He raised his head and stared at me.
"That might be a good idea. It's been a while Alora had her run." I replied.
Devon stood up then held his hand pulling me off the bed. I ushered him towards the balcony. It was nighttime by then, but the place was well illuminated with lamps. I can see the manicured lawn and the ornaments decorated around our lawn.
I climbed up on the balustrade, he looked up at me. I smirked at him, turned around and leaped, I jumped off the balcony, but I used the wind to slow down my fall. I wielded a weak wind tornado underneath me.
"Show off!" I heard from him as I reached the ground. He then followed me, he jumped from the balcony with ease. I laughed at his comment.
"I swear I am going to teach you this time, no more leaving you behind I promise." I replied.
"As is if you are allowed to do so. I will chase you till the ends of the earth; you can just get rid of me that easily." Devon eagerly answered.
Devon leaned down and kissed my forehead then gestured his hand, signaling me to shift to my wolf form. I gladly obliged. He moved near me and did the same... finally I met Drew again after years. He placed his head on my neck, and I did the same. I missed snuggling with this black wolf. After a few minutes he abruptly punched me to the ground.
"I want to challenge the Alpha of Katana pack." Heard him from our mind link. His voice was full of humor while his tail was wagging.
"Game on Alpha! Been missing challenge lately, you know!" Answered him while pushing him using my hind feet. I tossed him away from me, stood up then shook my fur.
"Well, I will gladly defeat you, love!" Devon answered through our mind link.
"You wish, love! You wish! so, what is our challenge?" I quickly answered.
Race! Whoever reaches the peak of that mountain..." directing his snout the mountain he was referring to; it was on the boarder of my territory. "Gets a wish from the loser." He added.
"Hmmmmm I like that. You really think you can easily defeat me huh!" I teased him.
"No, I'm counting on a good race." Devon answered. He positioned himself for the race then glanced at me...I stood beside him then lounged to the racing position.
"Go", he shouted in our mind link. We both sprinted our way towards the mountain. Dodging every tree and rock in our way. I was laughing through our mind link because we were racing neck in neck but then he took a glimpse at me then zoomed away.
He was running so fast; I could barely keep up. We were nearing the peak of the mountain and I was pushing myself faster, but Devon is clearly winning this race.
He was at the peak.... this was the first time I was defeated.... but before he could jump in celebration, one of my pack wolves pounced Drew out of nowhere. He was thrown out away from our track and I saw him stumbling a few meters because of the impact, he managed to stand up on fours while glaring and growling at his attacker.
I could hear both wolves growling... they were circling each other... assessing each other and clearly about to attack each other. I ran towards Drew, but I noticed my warriors were approaching too, surrounding us. The wolf who attacks Devon was Cyril, my Beta Caleb's wolf.
"Alpha is this the intruder that has been messing around our territory " Caleb thought went into the mind link. He was pacing back and forth. I shifted to human form but before I could completely expose my naked self, Devon ran to me and had already shifted back to human form, covering me from view.
"Ayumi, don't expose yourself like that" Devon shouted, his eyes full of anger.
One of warriors handed Devon a big blanket and a pair of shorts (we hid clothes and blankets everywhere for emergency purpose) he placed the blanket over my shoulder covering my naked body then he wore the shorts.
Cyril is clearly observing us still pacing. Even my warriors are waiting for me. I walked past Devon and faced Beta Caleb's wolf.
"This is not an intruder Beta Caleb", I announced. "This is your new Alpha, Alpha Devon."
