Wolf Pack
Moon Ball

We entered Jack’s office, he grabbed some papers and pointed to a table and chair next to his.

“What was that?” I asked laughing, trying to keep my back to Mina.

“That what?” Jack asked sounding genuinely puzzled.

“The way Mina talked to me, is she always like this?” I asked raising an eyebrow.

“It’s her way, and around the Moon Ball we all get more nervous, to get everything ready and no one has to come to work tomorrow.” He said as he laid out some papers carefree. And closed the blinds to avoid Mina’s gaze.

“I prepared this table for you to stay here for now, we have some loads of wood that need to leave today until late afternoon, so no wolf needs to work tomorrow, can you help me with that?”

“Of course, with pleasure.”

He said setting me down at the small wooden table next to Jack’s huge, carved desk.

“Jack.”

I called his name and sighed, it was enough for him to turn completely to me, fix his gaze and give me his full attention, dropping the papers.

“I still haven’t had a chance to thank you for yesterday. You could have been hurt… more.”

I finished looking at his ankle.

His voice was firm, it sounded almost like a promise.

“You don’t need to thank me, I was glad I was there, I should just be closer.”

“You saved me.”

“I would do it as many times as it takes.”

“Is your ankle any better?”

“Brand new, we wolves heal faster, and Alina makes things so much easier.”

I looked down at that moment, I lifted my gaze to meet the beautiful and narrow green eyes, I touched his arm at the same time as I said:

“Thanks.”

The words came out of my mouth and as my fingers touched the bare skin of his forearm, the electric shock was even more intense than the last time, a shiver ran through my body and lit me up, I was nervous and thrilled, and so excited that my panties were soaked for no apparent reason, I stared at Jack who was panting, and it was visible that he was excited too, he looked at my hand on his arm and touched my wrist, another shock hit us, probably he felt the same as me. I felt the need to kiss him, to have him whole, it was something instinctive, I couldn’t explain it.

Jack put his hand on my face, and pulled me by the neck to put his lips on mine, when he kissed me my body was on fire, my heart never beat so hard, I wanted to take his clothes off right then and there, he pulled my waist to close and I felt the bulge in his pants, he kissed my neck and my fingers roamed his chest over the flannel shirt, I scratched his back and I was so horny I would fuck him right there. He pulled the hem of mine pencil skirt and one of his hands rose slowly, he kissed my lips again and even touched my soaked panties, he moved the thin fabric slightly and introduced a finger, making me moan inside his mouth, I was so excited that I almost came with the movement. A noise from the elevator outside made us open our eyes and move away. Jack looked at me breathlessly and I was completely confused.

“I’m sorry, we shouldn’t, I.. Argh. It must be the effect of the Moon Dance, wolves are driven by lust, and our instincts leave us brainless sometimes.”

“Is that felt by all the wolves before the Moon Dance?”

My question made him stop to think.

“No, that was different, but listen to Luna.” He ran his hands through his hair. “I already hurt myself a lot thinking that someone was my Soulmeet, and I hurt her too, I never want that to happen to you, let’s try to forget about it.”

“All right.” I replied still confused, it would be strange maybe, but I already saw Jack as a great friend, I would try to leave him like that, despite wanting him completely a few seconds ago.

We were all day involved in getting everything ready and finishing the services on the same day, the work was not very different from what I did at my old job (I remembered that I needed to resolve this soon, for my former boss I was just spending a few days at the lumberyard). We had lunch in the company cafeteria, and it was undeniable that all the curious eyes were on me, but one of the looks wasn’t just curiosity, so I saw it was Mina, machine-gunning me with her blue eyes, I just looked away and didn’t want any confusion, much less there.

At the end of the day we went home, I found Alina having tea in the living room and I just waited for Jack to talk to Hughes to ask her:

“What do you know about Mina?”

I asked sitting next to her, raising my eyebrows.

“First tell me how your day was Luna… She glared at you, didn’t she?”

“My day was great, we managed to organize everything in time, and yes, she gave me the dirty look several times, it was like she carried a deadly hatred towards me.”

Alina chuckled as she took another sip of her tea.

“Don’t mind her, she must see you as a threat. She was Jack’s girlfriend, before their first Soulmeet, he was going to become Beta, she came from a lineage of Alphas, and was his assistant at the lumberyard, everyone thought they they were each other’s pair, they even dated, and at the first Soulmeet, it just didn’t happen, and there’s nothing you can do about it. It’s been 4 years since then, 4 balls, and the pressure on her is only increasing, a male takes some time until his Soulmeet is even acceptable, but a female is another story, the comments in the Pack can be mean. I understand her, I was 3 balls without my date, and they had already started talking.”

“But how can anyone not have a pair?”

“No, that never happened, it could take a while, there are records of 10, 12 years of waiting, but there is always someone destined for you.”

“What about the effects of the Moon Ball, can they happen sooner?”

“Well, we are affected a little earlier, we can say that everything gets more intense, and the alphas feel it even more. Did you feel anything?”

As much as I liked and trusted Alina, I didn’t want to tell her that I made out with Jack before and that we can’t touch.

“No, it’s just that I heard something about.”

“Yes, it’s a wave of lust that washes over us, but nothing uncontrollable, just when it comes to alphas it gets a little more difficult.”
