Hey Angels :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR !  xoxoxox

Firstly, I  AM SO SORRY FOR LATE UPDATE :(

Secondly, I really wanna write and already have ideas where to take this book but I get so tired at the end of the day that I don't even get time to eat dinner and I sleep. But again, I promise that now on wards I will try to give you regular updates for real and a bit longer if possible. I hope you all will not leave me hanging here alone and will support this book.

I had to deal with some pretty rough issues and so I wasn't able to write but now everything is falling into place and surely will try to update soon and regularly with good content.

I am not at all happy with this chapter, it came out totally different as to what I wanted to write. Hope that you all like it.

Enjoy !

************

The journey to the Styles' Mansion was not very long. We reached there pretty soon and then the nerves hit me. Don't get me wrong but I was worried about the reactions I will get from others. Especially my parents. It feels like I am in for long lectures and scoldings for wandering alone like that and to meet them after all this is not completely normal right now. We entered the house and I was immediately welcomed with a loud slap on my cheek which made me feel warm....on the cheek because it hurt.

"HOW DARE YOU, LOUIS WILLIAM ? I TOLD YOU TO NEVER GO ALONE ANYWHERE. DID I NOT ? ANSWER ME...."

And then my small self was engulfed into bone crushing hug by Mommy or rather sobbing Mommy. That only made me start my own waterworks in full force and then everything was like a blur literally. Looking into the room, I saw faces wearing happiness, relief, happy tears and smiles. I hugged Mommy back equally and then when she won't let go and kept scolding me, Harry gently tapped her shoulders and took her into his arms. Now, his arms were full of Mommy and Mom, after Mom showered me with kisses and then moved to Harry for letting others 'welcome' me.

The sudden force of two bodies made me stumble backwards but Liam put his hand and supported me. I gave him a teary smile in thanks which he returned with equal love. So, the two bodies were of Zayn and Cederic. They squished me forcefully between them and from their shaking bodies it seemed that they were crying silently. I hugged them both completely with my arms and tried to sooth them by kissing their temples one by one. They were then calm enough and gave way to Ma, Aunties,Papa, Uncles and to my surprise there was also Uncle James from the party. They all kissed my forehead or cheek or hand and gave me hugs and gentle pats on my back.

Mommy seemed to be still crying silently in Papa's arms and then came Liam, Josh and Dragomir.

"Oh Louis, you gave us quiet a scare. Glad you're alright. There was nobody to keep Harry in line."

Josh said a bit jokingly to diffuse the tension and it worked as everyone chuckled lightly except Harry who also growled at him fake angrily.

" Its a huge relief that you are all well, Louis. We were worried."

That was Dragomir who said it with a straight face but with a tingle of smile on his lips. Then, last came Liam who looked worried and concerned and maybe...afraid. Of me ? Then I remembered our last conversation in the kitchen and even though it angers me at this time I did not want to come across bitter. These are the people who had to go through all the worries of loosing someone they love. They were the ones who loved me, who searched for me, tooth and nail, and I am so happy and feel content to be in the coccoon of their warmth and affection. So, I offered him a big smile to let him know that its alright for now. He patted my cheeks and said

" Thank God, you are back. "

It seemed like he wanted to say something but at the same moment I realized what I felt was missing since the start. I looked around but did not find the person I was searching for. The worry gnawed my heart and I almost shouted

"WHERE is my Pumpkin ? Is he alright ?"

That made everyone frown and look sideways at each other and that was when I knew something was wrong. The instinct that got me was of running to his room and so I did. I reached his room which had door opened ajar and even in the daylight it seemed that the room had dark midnight shadowed itself over. But what made my heart broke was little sniffles coming from inside. My heart broke little by little with every released soft sobs from inside the room. I felt my hands trembling when I pushed the door open and entered, while halting others to do so, as I wanted to talk to my Pumpkin alone first. I can only imagine what he must have been going through.

The first thing I did was allow my eyes to adjust to the darkness in the room and then slowly made my way towards the wrapped blanket burrito on the bed. I sat on the side near by and softly started carding my fingers through the small tufts of hair poking out from the blanket. The sobs halted for a while and then suddenly I was lying on my back with a whole body above me, hugging me tightly and shaking from sobs. That only made me want to rip that people out who made my pumpkin cry this ugly tears.

"T-T-o...T-om-mo...S-soh-sorry..Is' mah faul'.."

Barely I was able to make out the words but when I realised what he was trying to say, I immediately tried sitting up with him facing me and hugging me successfully. He was still gasping and muttering incoherently. I grabbed his shoulders and steadied him almost shouting at him to halt his rambles.

"NIALL....my Pumpkin, listen to me. Shh..look at me first."

He looked in my eyes directly with his tear filled ones and that made my throat choke up but somehow I managed not to cry in front of him and just tried soothing him.

"Now, there there. See, I am here and alright. Don't worry yourself too much, my brother. Wanna talk with others ? They are waiting outside."

He crawled towards the headboard and snuggled into the blankets and I accompained waiting patiently for his reply. He kept on fiddling with the edges of his rumpled t-shirt with his one hand entwined with my arm in a tight grip.

"N-No..not yet. Just...tell them I am alright and...I just wanna talk to you only, alone."

So, I shouted.

"I AM STAYING HERE WITH NIALL. WE WILL MEET YOU ALL LATER. EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT HERE."

Shuffling of feets were heard before it was only me and Niall cuddling silently and breathing slowly.

"Wanna talk, Pumpkin ?"

"Y-yes...Tommo, I-I don't know how to explain this but-but I felt pain when you weren't there. Physically along with emotionally. I haven't told or talked with anyone yet about anything. We will have to ask this to others."

I was shocked hearing that. It was something unusual but then when was our life even remotely normal. I pondered on what he told and decided to not give him and myself any kind of load right now. So I decided to change the topic and lighten the mood.

"You know we are going to Pack Village today ?"

I asked casually because I did not want to show him my nervousness over that.

"HOLY FUCK.....WHAT ? Bloody Hell ! Nobody told me."

"How is that possible ? Did nobody come to inform you ?"

He looked sheepish while answering.

"Um..well, Zayn and Ced came in the morning and then....then Liam too came but-but I never allowed them to enter and just-just locked myself in the room."

I looked at him with disapprovement.

"Niall, I cannot even imagine what you went through but Pumpkin, never push people away like that. I know you act all strong and shout and scream but at last you are fragile and you too need care and protection so, promise me, god forbid, but if anything happens then you will ,let people comfort you, talk to you. I am not denying to take your time but its been 9 days and -and i-its just t-too much. I love you, Pumpkin. Don't ever do something s-stupid and-"

And yeah, then I burst into tears overwhelmed by everything. I felt his small arms hug me tightly and we lied down just like that, cuddled together for sometime. Then he uttered.

"I-I think we should call Zayn and Ced. They were worried and they are our team. They have right to be with us."

I smiled and complied calling them through Niall's mobile and within minutes there was a knock and muttering heard outside the door.

"Ced..keep quiet. What if Nialler is sleeping ? Wait !"

"Oh Shut up Zayn and get your bum moving. I wanna talk to them. Step aside..."

We heard hissing and then the door burst open with Ced almost jumping on the bed and Zayn stumbling through the door and running to us. The sunlight from the corridor made me squint for a while but then it felt good to be having some warmth and light after so much darkness even though I had switched on a dim light after entering into the room.

I decided to open the curtains and windows and let the sun rays diffuse the darkness outside and inside us to some extent. So, I got up and started arranging the room after opening the curtains and windows. It felt good and fresh.

"TOMMO...close the curtains. My eyes hurt.."

"Nialler, who said to open your eyes at once ? Of course your rod cells of eyes were too much active so it happens sometimes that when you adjust to the light, the other cells need time to adjust along with the iris and cornea. So, moral of the story, open your eyes slowly and no...the curtains won't be closed. Now, c'mon on, get to work, mister."

"I did not even get half of what you said, Cederic but...wow, you are one intelligent boy."

Niall said in a voice which had underlying smile and that just made me sigh and that was when Zayn caught my eyes and I knew he knew what I thought. I offered him a small smile and went to sat on the bed along with the other three who were cuddling and huddled into the blanket. I snuggled up too and then we just sat there silently and basked in the morning glow.

"Well....I am sorry for shouting and sending you guys away everytime you came. I just-"

"Yes, you should, idiot. When will you realize that we are all together in this and always have each other's back. "

Zayn said cutting of Niall's apology with playful seriousness. Me and Ced both agreed to that and Niall looked guilty but gave a toothy smile in return which immediately melted everyone.

"Are-are you okay, Louis ?"

Cederic asked with his eyes wide and big looking like a cute worried kitten. I patted his cheek lovingly and replied to all because he voiced what everybody wanted to ask.

"Yes, now with all of you here, I am feeling way better. its-its like that never happened. But I know it will return when I try sleeping at night especially, and randomly, but it is expected. This was equally traumatizing to all and I know it will take time to get back to normal but we can manage and we will. I have you all and you all have me with you. We are going to kick some serious arses."

I said and it looked like we all would have started crying again getting emotional when there was knock and slowly the door opened making way for surprisingly nervous and uncomfortable Liam and Dragomir. If I did not know better then I would have never noticed but I saw Dragomir eyeing Cederic with curious eyes as Cederic was oblivious to that making something with the paper he found from god knows where and when. Zayn again met my eyes and smirked slightly to my grin. We will discuss that later soon. So we then turned towards Liam.

"Um..Dragomir wanted -"

"Liam.."

"I mean I-I wanted to check if you-you all are doing alright. Its been an hour and we-we have to leave soon. So, Josh also wanted to know-"

"Niall, are you okay now ?"

Dragomir cut Liam's nervous rambling and asked Niall straight away making us all laugh and Niall surprised at the sudden attention on him.

"Y-yes, thank you. I am doing much better now."

Niall replied offering him a genuine smile but it faltered when he looked at Liam. There was longing and pain in both of their eyes and it pained me to see my brother suffering because of some cheater. But still I feel as if Liam was hiding something. I have seen him with Pumpkin and how he reacts. I don't think it was all for show. I have to look into this Niam matter soon and solve this. It can be of start of something new or a proper closure to something that was only one sided and maybe never was meant to be but in my heart I knew, they have to be together.

"Now happy, Liam. Lets go. We have work to do and packs to attend."

Liam blushed with embarrassment and rushed out of the room hissing something at Dragomir. Niall blushed from feeling shy about what happened in front of everyone and we all laughed because we enjoyed the show omitting the painful reality.

"You know, Liam has started wandering too much in this wing and he disappears in the night. I went to talk to him once and he wasn't there and then Josh was also searching for him the other night. I smell something fishy."

When Zayn said that Niall looked really uncomfortable and started squirming in the bed with nervousness. Something definitely happened ! Oh God ! I go for 9 days or....um get kidnapped and I miss too much.

After some light playful banter, we moved onto the serious topic. I narrated the whole story of what happened to me and while reciting that we all had tears in ours eyes. It was painful to relive that verbally and I still have to let others know one more time but on the contrary it is making me stronger and sheding more light on the issue.

"So, you are saying that suddenly you feel excruciating pain and you break that bondages. How ? There has to be something."

Cederic said thoughfully.

"I know. I think once we reach the pack village, we can call in favours and ask some pack alphas about books or old literatures of their tribes to borrow. I think it may help and Harry said we are gonna meet Alpha Simon too. He is like an Uncle to us, little uptight but loving. He has weird way to show that. "

Zayn said explaining and suddenly the journey did not seem like tour anymore as Harry said. It feels like I am in some sort of mystery thriller movie in voyage of searching answers. After few minutes again there was a knock and Mommy, Mom and Ma entered with trolley filled with food. My mouth watered immediately seeing chocolate truffle pastries and extra cheese pizzas. They saw us all hogging one blanket and offered a genuine relieved smile.

"C'mon sons, eat first. You all must need energy and since few days nobody ate well or not at all. So, we know this junk food is not the right meal right now but we thought it will help you get back to normal. So we ordered each one's favourite meal. But then in the lunch, vegetables are waiting for you. No slacking."

Ma said with gentle smile and we immediately snatched the dishes and started devouring the food. It was delicious and warm so each and every flavour was prominent and sliding deliciously on my tongue. I completed whole pizza and two pastries. By the time we ate all three mommas sat there in the corner, on bean bags and recliner chair chatting among themselves giving us privacy to talk on our own. But we were too hungry to talk and gulfed down the whole meal rapidly. Mommas looked ecstatic and proud.

After having our brunch we lied down lazily on the bed chatting anything and everything. It felt nice and normal without worries lingering on our heads. The dark clouds were still hovering but they were diminished right now by the warm sun beams of our companionship. Few minutes must have been passed when Harry and Josh entered without knocking making us all squeak with surprise.

"Bro, have some manners. Knock before you come in. What if we were indecent ?"

Zayn said chastely to Harry but it was Josh who answered smugly making Zayn blush profusely.

"Damn ! I expected you to be indecent but Zee, you are dressed."

Harry did not look happy with the return and glared at Josh but the latter just nudged him and whispered something in his ear. They then turned towards us after having their little girly moment or whatever.

"We are leaving in an hour so pack your stuff. Work hard and fast."

Niall snorted loudly at the last sentence and winked at me making me want the blanket to eat me up and bed to swallow me. And the Smug Styles looked smirking at me without any shame. I covered my face with blanket and waited for them to leave.

"Zee...pack your favourite blanket that you brought here without fail. Then don't cry when you forget that."

"Shut up Jo, I don't cry."

"Yeah right. My baby brother does not even know how to cry. Definitely."

Harry and Josh playfully pulled Zayn's leg but Josh seemed actually concerned about that blanket. Ah...young love *sighs*

They left after that and we all soon decided to go to our respective rooms and pack necessary items. I really hate this packing and unpacking game that I have played more times in these few days than my entire life. Its exhausting. Upon entering thee room I saw it was in exact same condition as we left on the day of Charity Ball. The thought made my heart clench but ignoring that I started packing my handbag. I was never the one to carry loads of stuff here and there so I knew it will only take few minutes to pack my stuff and then I can pack Harry's.

I folded my 4-5 pairs clothes along with my undergarments and toiletries. But when I was about to open the other side of wardrobe, Harry entered into the room.

"Lou, can you please pack my stuff too. I have to talk to few people and-"

"I was already doing that, don't worry."

I said smiling at him. He rushed and kissed me on the cheek and on lips hastily.

"Just pack very few things. We have our other cabin there and so are my clothes."

He then grabbed his laptop from the bed side table where it was charging and started typing something very rapidly.

"Um...what are you doing ?"

"Its just office work. Mails and contracts. Since many days I wasn't able to concentrate so I am trying to do as much as possible whenever I get time so it will be back to normal in 2-3 days. "

"Oh...okay. Just tell me if I can help in anyway. I will be here."

"Of course. You can help me by giving regular kisses and hugs and cuddles.

Oh and add make out sessions."

"HARRry..."

"What ? You asked if I wanted any help and I just requested."

"Fine....whatever. Lemme me do mine and you do your work."

After that we both resumed our work in complete comfortable silence with occassional me asking Harry about specific clothes if he wants to take along and him answering me in return. It took hardly half an hour to complete packing and then I decided to rest a bit because I felt tired and lazy. But as soon as I started to lie down properly, Harry got a call informing about leaving for Pack Village. Sighing I got up to wash my face and make the sleep go away but only for a while because I know the moment car will hit the road andd highway begins I will be fast asleep.

"Lou, I am taking the bag downstairs. Don't rush, okay ? Walk slowly and be careful on the stairs."

I rolled my eyes in the washroom mirror hearing him. He was acting like a total Mommy.

Or Daddy....

Erasing that thought hastily from my mind I completed my business and started to go downstairs when I heard a little commotion and hissing voices muttering something which got louder as I walked nearer. And they were of Ced and Dragomir. What is it with these two again ?

"What is this, kid ?"

"Bags, Genius."

Came Ced's sarcastic reply while he was struggling to carry his two big handbags or rather dragging them. Dragomir was standing rigid as stone with annoyance written all over his face. I wonder who thought it was good to give them rooms next to each other but then this was great, Am I overacting or I can see something beautiful blossoming very slowly between these two ? Or am I reading too many novels that my brain is playing with itself ?

"You don't need that many clothes, Jeez. Carry only one. Go keep the other one inside."

"NO...I need these both and you don't know that these both have clothes in them. I have pending assignments and I need to complete them in time. So one has all my educational stuff. And even if they both had clothes in then then I would-"

By that time Dragomir had snatched both his bags and was walking away towards the corridor leaving red faced Ced behind, from anger or blush, god only knows. I approached him slowly realizing that unknowingly I was eavesdropping their little exchange.

"Hey..let's go."

"Oh Lou...yes. I swear this Dragon is driving me crazy with his mood swings and ego and attitude and rigid stone faced posture all the fudging time."

We went downstairs with him muttering cute profanities and me listening to him in mock seriousness because somewhere in between Ced called Dragomir a very illegaly handsome mountain, a sculpted jaw monster, silky haired ghost and whatnot. It was amusing how he unknowingly was complimenting him in his rash anger.

Oh dear...

Soon we reached the entrance and saw cars parked up in a line with workers loading our luggage. I found everyone was arranging something and talking and it all looked similar to when we left for my wedding but a lot less tension and on my part, with zero disappointment and sadness because I know nothing can be worse than not being Harry's. Cliche, no ? Oh well....I stopped caring long time ago. Pulling me out of my musings Zayn and Niall approached me with Niall immediately clinging to my arm and eating candy with other.

"Nialler, where is mine ?"

Cederic asked pouting to Niall who was eating like a toddler. Zayn rolled his eyes at me and gave one to Ced grabbing my hand much to Niall's protest, and we reached what I assumed was the car in which we will travel.

"Louis, knowing my big brother, I know he must not have informed you in detail about our Pack Village. See, everyone there loves us and we them. They respect Harry very much and are furiously vowed to protect each member with total loyalty. So, don't worry too much. Enjoy your time there. I swear you will love it. Its just..they sometimes become too....affectionate with each other in public, mated pair obviously, so that's it for now. I hope you love it. They are your family too now."

"They sound wonderful. About being affectionate, well...do we...I mean, me and Harry...do we have to be-"

"Oh no no...don't worry. Its totally up to you. I don't think Harry will mind though seeing he is looking at you right now with big googly eyes."

Zayn winked at me saying that and hearing what he said made my heart flutter wildly. Harry was looking at me, just admiring which was what i always dreamed of while reading novels of someone just admiring me with fond look when I am not looking and it just happened. I feel like I will melt in puddle then and there.

"C'mon Tommo, we don't have whole day. Am I right, Harreh ? "

With that said Niall wiggled his eyebrows at Harry, him and Ced snickering, and went to sit in the car with Harry looking surprised at what happened. I shook my head slightly smiling at him while I approached him. He immediately grabbed my waist squeezing the soft meat of my skin and pulled me closer to his side and I went willingly snug.

"Lou, bub, how are you feeling ? Tired ?"

"Sleepy. How much time will it take to reach there ?"

"Not too much. Around 1.5 hours."

"That is not very far away. I thought it will be like 4-5 hours drive."

"No...and in wolf form it is even closer. It is very wide spread so we have more territory than any other which makes some parts far away from here. "

"Okay, I was thinking-"

"Hey lovebirds, leave something for the ride too. Its getting late. Hop in."

Zayn shouted from inside the car where he sat in the middle seat with Niall and Ced while Liam and Dragomir were in the very front leaving me and Harry to sit in the back. We settled and the journey started with light atmosphere and heartfelt laughter.

"Harry, um..what is the name of our Pack Village and Pack ?"

"Oikos is the name of Pack Village and we belong to the legendary Ischyros Pack. It is believed that werewolf king and queen together make Mallakyanos which is amalgamation of Mallow, a green herb and Kyanos, blue colour, indicating the nature's creation of love and fertility. The modern term being Malachite."

"Um..sorry but I am confused."

I said with hesitancy. All these new terminologies were not making too much sense to me. Though Harry seemed patient enough to explain me and I saw Niall and Cederic were also listening with rapture.

"Basically, these are Greek terminologies. You know, Greek is one of the oldest mythologies in the world and our existence dates back to that, so we were named accordingly and then they became wide spread slowly replacing their Greek origins with the new local ones sometimes. Oikos means Family or household and Ischyros means Strong." The Ischyros Pack is believed to be the first werewolf pack existed since war of Satan and Archangel Michael."

I was totally fascinated by how Harry was narrating the whole meaning of the words and it felt like I was locked inside some novel experiencing what I always craved for hypothetically because never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that those things existed and that too in so much finesse and complicated twisted ways.

"Tell me more.."

"I will, Louis, but right now you need sleep. We will explain you everything when we get there. Also, there is huge library which you can explore and find out more about all those legends and histories. "

I was satisfied hearing that for now and then I realized that I was actually feeling exhausted and tired so I decided to sleep for sometimes to ease my body and nerves which will definitely return with tremendous force when we will be near Oikos. So, I turned sideways removing my sneakers and snuggled into Harry's side with my head leaning on his shoulder and arms around his waist as this came naturally to me. He wrapped his arm around my body and cuddled me some more which lead me to release a content sigh involuntarily.

I heard light murmurs going on around me and slowly opened my eyes which still felt heavy from sleep. I came face to face with blak shirt and lapels of brown jacket, Harry's chest. I nuzzled my face deeper and then just turned my head to look outside the window feeling too lazy to move. What I saw made me gasp audibly and immediately sit up straight and gawking outside, gobsmacked by the beauty that lay in front of my eyes.

The road we were travelling was zigzag climbing up and down the hill which inherited a valley or rather a huge hometown which resembled the size of ants spread to spacious horizons surrounded by mountains and hills. The wind here was clean and the cool breeze created rustling melodies of leaves making the earth sing the songs of harmony on piano of mountains. Far in the distance, the sunlight was getting reflected from what seemed like a huge lake or river that was flowing in a way that surrounds the whole territory and in between. The clouds felt so near like the cotton buds rambling in the sky akeen to dandelions adding beauty to the green, yellow, orange-red and mauve coloured trees. All in all, it looked surreal and the place where if Shakespeare of William Wordsworth would have been there then there would have been many sonnets alone on the beauty of nature that is being reflected by its more apparently visual creation rather than only a man's imagination.

"What the-...this is just....beautiful."

I sighed in disbelief at what my eyes were seeing and judging by the accompanied squeals and hums of appreciation the others agreed to. I was too hooked to turn my eyes so when Harry kissed my neck softly I averted my eyes from the scenary and looked at him.

"How come this place is so near and nobody knows ?"

"Its glamour, Louis. The mundanes can only see this as normal village with obscure scattered life. Your and others spell is broken so you all are able to see through the enchantment and watch the real Pack Village rather than just a silent landscape of mountains."

"Oh wow..okay. I mean, I am still skeptical if this is real or am I just dreaming but-"

I was cut off with a pair of soft petals of lips on mine, biting and sucking my lower lip between them lightly. I returned the kiss as if my secont nature to respond to it and it was over in just few seconds. With closed eyes I tried chasing them but to no avail which lead me to realize what actually happened.

"See, its not a dream."

"Oh..normally people pinch to check whether they are dreaming or not."

"Well...this way is better and I didn't hear you complaining before."

"Oh hush ! "

"

" As you command, My Luna."

And here comes butterflies and honeybees and whatnot in my tummy along with the heated knots forming in the pit which swirled with desire. I coughed and blushed looking away from him well aware of the other people present in the car and supposedly hearing our discussion. I was now full awake and excited to see Oikos. It was beautiful.

My Pack Village is beautiful.

This thought just gave me chills and goosebumps all over my body from head to toes making me shiver. The nervlous energy was still oozing out from us for being here for the first time and meeting new people but still there was happy clatter surrounding the atmosphere.

"I don't think I will be able to work here. I am enchanted."

Cederic mumbled not at all looking regretful for not being able to finish his loved assignments. To that Dragomir, glanced at him from his peripheral vision and said

"I told you there was no need for extra stuff."

The former looked a bit guilty but then just glared at the latter mumbling something under his breath which made Dragomir's ears turn red and choke on air.

I wonder what did Ced utter ?

I was still seated in the canopy of Harry's arms so I leaned my back more towards his chest and tried to stretch cracking my bones. I felt warm hands coming to rest on my pudgy stomach and when I felt skin on skin contact I got shivers from the way Harry was rubbing his hands sensually on my naked skin. I bit back a gasp and eventhough I wanted this sweet torture to stop, I was spellbound.

In few minutes the cars halted, also pausing our little activity, and I saw two huge pillars shaped of Lion's roaring body on either side of the broad passageway. They seemed centuries old and they must be by looking at the very detailed and intricate artwork which somehow did not look modern. Our cars resumed moving further and gradually the village started getting more dense with houses and people.

The houses resembled log cozy cabins , some huddled together while some scattered away a bit with their own fence and garden or backyard. The people were wearing which looked more like robes but they managed to look like a styling option for clothes. Everyone were doing their own routine chores.

"Tommo...look at them."

I followed Niall's suggestion and saw little children playing together who were only in their shorties and giggling.

"Oh my.."

I gasped as suddenly one by one they got converted to little chubby wolves and were growling at each other, puffing their tiny chests and running and tumbling in the sand. We all cooed at them and I suddenly felt love and warmth for these peeple in my chest. Overwhelmed with the feeling, I turned my head and kissed Harry on the neck, sighing and snuggling further. I felt his lips turn up into a smile on my head which only made me smile myself. I saw streams of water and little ponds here and there with surprisingly clean water and some teenagers jumping in and swimming. This looked more than picture perfect.

Soon, our cars came to a halt in front of a huge house or should I call it a log cabin with conjoined 2-3 houses. It was breathtaking and enticing. They were designed as if emerged straight from the trees and the exterior were made of glass in places with soft snug couches placed nearby which overlooked a huge pond and dark green trees. There was also fireplace in every open corners of the cabin along with two huge sofas which can even accommodate a giant. I never in my dreams thought that I will be blessed to live in this type of house. I am definitely dreaming. The cabins were secluded and gave isolation feeling but then it never felt wildered or away from the pack village. They were designed beautifully.

One by one, the cars emptied and we all began to move in along with our luggage being carried by some men who were equally greeted with respect, love and warmth.

The way they all interacted with Harry and others seemed so heartfelt and affectionate along with respect, like a big true family. Then my eyes drifted to the sound made by slamming of bag on the floor by Cederic. His fair skin was tinted red from all the strength he was applying to carry his luggage himself. In few seconds, a tall average looking decent young man appeared and offered his help a little too friendly.

"Hello, May I help you, little guy?"

He asked standing tall over humped Cederic. The latter looked up at him and blushed crimson at the intense stare he was receiving.

"Um..I-I.."

"Leave. We don't need any help."

And just like that Dragomir appeared from the thin air, looking annoyed with underlying hidden possessiveness, grabbing the bags from Cederic and leaving them but not before glaring at the man.

Are all Alphas this possessive and rude ?

You love it when Harry does that, Don't deny !

Cederic baffled at what happened left the scene offering the man a polite smile. Niall and Zayn were already chatting about the places they will visit but before I can join them, I felt my waist being grabbed by strong and rigid arm sliding all the way to the curve of my bum and it would not take any genius to recognize who that was. Of course, my loving Alpha husband, Harry.

"Lou, come with me. I wanna show you something."

And just like that I started walking where Harry lead me which was a little bit away from the main cabins on the sideways towards the pond. His wrapped arm around my waist did not loose for one bit and it made me feel snug. Soon, we came to a clearing which had a veils of creepers and shrubs hiding something. They looked domestically wild.

"You will love it, Louis."

"What is it ?"

I said almost squealing from excitement to which Harry smiled his boyish grin and looked like a magician ready to pull out a bunny from his hat and I like a totally enraptured kid possessed by his magic stared away. He collected some of the veils and pulled them aside tying them in loose knot to make them stay still and what I saw just blew my mind.

There on the other side was a small glass cabin with a big biege coloured hammock kept in the middle surrounded by different flower plants. The hammock had huge soft pillows and a blanket to go with. It just wanted to make me jump on it instantly and on the other hand not to touch just watch and admire the beautiful setting. Harry did all the thinking and grabbed my hand taking me inside.

"H-Harry.."

I cleared my throat as my voice got stuck surprised by such an enticing view.

"Oh ! Cat got your tongue, Loueh ?"

Harry said with mirth and joked about my incapacity of voicing my thoughts. I glared at him light heartedly though. He just went and sat there making the soft cushions dip low and they were so lavish that I felt if I will touch them then they will get soiled. I felt a tug on my waist and the next moment I was falling down on the hammock or rather Harry himself. My head collided with his rigid chest and my lips grazed his collarbones making him inhale sharply as our crotches brushed together creating some delicious friction. I got settled straddling him with my bent knees on either sides of his waist and my arms around his neck while his were grabbing my thighs and bums altogether tightly.

"Harry, don't do that. What if we hurt each other ?"

"But we didn't."

"But what if we-"

And my lips were sealed by his soft ones swallowing every protest that I was going to make. I as always reciprocated with equal fervour.Our lips were moving together and hands were roaming on each other's body on their own accords. I felt my blood pumping in my veins and heart beating loudly in my chest matching Harry's. We snogged for few moments moulding our lips and entangling our tongues. I fisted his hair in tight grip ruffling them while he lifted my t-shirt and started roaming his hands caressing my skin from the bottom of my spine to my neck making me shiver.

All rational thoughts flew away and what we only knew was when to bite, when to suck and when to pull our lips and synchronize their action. It always felt so electrifying even though we have snogged for few times. I know this will never get old. I will never get satisfied or will be satiable with Harry's kisses. I will always want more. I felt my hands travelling south on his body with sensuality and were caressing his hip bones along with lightly moving mine over his. I felt his hands dipping low from the waistband on the skin and grabbing my bums which made me break the kiss and moan out lightly which only spurred him on to go futher.

"So wet for me, Lou.."

I felt myself leaking a bit since the start which was now dripping in pretty good amount which made Harry growl in my neck and grab my cheeks more firmly and spread apart. My hands moved lower towards his perfect V and just when I thought he will touch me where I wanted him the most, our little to not so little make out session was torned apart by peircing scream from the cabin.

" ZAYN...."
