War Dog: The Lord of Wolves Series.

Chapter 14: R.S.V.P

Chapter 14

Alessia's P.O.V

Sitting out in the living area with cup of hot tea facing the window and watching the snow fall with a heavy leaning my head head in the chair.

"Please stop sighing and help chose table clothes." My mother huffs at me looking at her with an apologetic look as I unfold my legs and lean forward. "They'll be back they're just fitting him for a suit."

With a pout flipping through cloth samples. "Yes I know but not knowing what Myles' is up to bothers me..." I huff losing interest I flop back in my seat.

Looking up at me from the seating chart. "He still won't tell you?" Mother asks looking back down at the chart and the R.S.V.P's.

Nodding and looking to the window again. "Nope... Neither will Dad... Sometimes I feel like I'm not even future Luna... Treating me like a child..." Grumbling as I chew my bottom lip leaning forward again looking at the samples I pick out a gold and white lace for the table cloths, we're still planning my coming of age ceremony for tomorrow night a time where other packs come to meet the next Alpha and Luna and establish treaties, rewrite new ones, and go over the territories... In my case it's just Luna because Apollo and I haven't made it official yet... And the thought alone makes me blush because I keep thinking of his promise made to me in the basement that day it's made nervous and excited when I'm around him. "Killing me with anticipation..." I say out loud with a heavy huff. Looking at me with raised brow. "What?" Mother questions me flinching looking at her I know my face red as I can feel the heat in it.

"Ah n.nothing!" Shaking my head and waving a hand dismissively with a light laugh mother grabs another R.S.V.P then looks at it her face goes blank and I can see her swallow a lump in her throat. "What's wrong?" Walking over to her side to look over her shoulder I can see what has her flustered it's an R.S.V.P from Myles we sent him one months back out of good faith and peace. "I've forgotten we sent him one." She says laying it down on the table. What are we gonna do? It says he's attending... If we tell him he's forbidden to come it could start more problems not just with him but other packs too... These thoughts run through my mind as Father walks in with Apollo behind him. Mother stands with the card walking over and hands it to Father. Watching nervously as he looks at it then to Mother. "Let him come with many alliance packs and their leaders present I highly doubt he'll do anything especially with Bloodmoon here." He says with a reassuring smile to Mother. Oh! That's right I forgot he's coming.

This makes us all aside from Apollo sigh in relief.

Now sitting in the living room alone with Apollo resting between his legs with my back against his chest and his chin on top of my head it was late at night Nd nearly everyone was asleep. "Who's Bloodmoon?" I can hear the curiosity in his voice.

Bring my mug to my lips and sipping my tea. "His full name is Rayne Megin Bloodmoon. He's an Alpha of a very large pack in NY not the city but the woods around it. He's also the Lord of Wolves in his region and our biggest ally."

I can feel him tilt his head in thought as he makes a hmm sound. "How many wolves?" Was the next question. Drumming my fingers on my mug as I think. "The last I heard he was up in the 90's of the number of pack members... It could have grown since then." Saying making him flinch back and look at me turning my head to look up at him seeing his thoughtful expression.

"What?" Poking his nose as I ask making him flinch a little then looking down at me.

"Nothing... It's just impressive." Lifting up I turn to face now straddling his lap watching his furrowing brow makes me smile sweetly. "What are you planning?" I ask in a soft seductive voice his scrunched brow relaxes placing his hands on my thighs leaning his head back against the couch. "It seems I should ask you that." He says looking at me sliding his hands up my thighs to the small of my back fighting to not react as I take a deep breathe.

Apollo leans forward with his hot breathe on my neck. "Do you think you're the only female to try and seduce me?" Holding my breathe until his question makes me snap pushing him back into the couch.

"Excuse me? Who? And..." I can feel my stomach going in knots. Looking at my face he smiles and laughs at me making me more angry. "Stop laughing at me!" Snapping my canines near his neck immediately he stops his laughter and I find myself on my back in the floor with Apollo looming over me.

"What's wrong? Jealous?" He growls the question teasingly.

Curling my lips back show my teeth at him. "No! You wish!" Huffing at him looking off to the side. "Did you?..." I couldn't finish my question looking at the fireplace watching the dying coals.

"Yes." Apollo answers the unfinished question my heart sank gritting my teeth as my hand finds and grabs a pillow and swinging into his face startled he falls to side and I waste no getting up and storm of the living room despite him calling my name and saying he wasn't finished what he was saying but I didn't want to hear it. I don't even know why I was so mad... The other women were before me... Ahhh! I don't know I was just mad! Even thinking about it made me furious!

All I remember left of that night was going to be bed angry and waking up in a not much better mood and tonight was my ceremony! Great! Just great!

Grumbling around as I help get things together and avoiding being alone with Apollo at all cost. "Alessia I want to talk." He says walking up to me.

Making a hmpf sound as I put together centerpieces with my mom and few of my friends. "Do you want us to leave?" Mom asks looking at us. Shaking my head. "No we're busy he can wait. I don't feel like talking right now." I answer giving a quick glare to Apollo then looking back at my work. Hearing him turn on his heel and waking away with an irritated. "Fine." Response from him as he walks out.

Looking at the door then back to me I shrug at my mom. "What?" I finally ask reaching over for another flower.

"Everything alright?" Mom asks and I answer with a simple head nod. "Mmhmm." I hum out wrapping ribbon around the vase tying a bow.

"Excuse me?" A pack member walks up holding a vase in her shaking hands in front of her. "Alessia these are for you." Her voice trembles reaching out taking the flowers from her.

"Thank you." I respond setting the flowers on the table.

"They're beautiful." Mom says taking the card from it's holder opening it immediately my heart sank to my stomach. Looking forward to seeing you again. -Myles.
