THE ALPHA (UNKNOWN)

Night came.

So as the heavy beating of the late night drums that echoed into the air and wind. Reminding all women that it was time and that the moon was very much full and bright.

The attire for the night was any four legged animal fur or skin.. It could be a tiger, leopard, bear or any kind of animal a person would choose.

Tattoos were also drawn on the women skins and they also painted their faces, arms, stomach and legs.

"This is barbaric." Bella muttered to Anna as the maids assisted them by painting their bodies and drawing the Tattoos.

Anna giggled softly.

"That tickles." She told the maid and then looked at Bella with a calm smile.

"It's going to be fun." She assured.

Bella returned her smile with a soft nod, "yeah."

The door opened and Alex walked in wearing a black long robe that swept the floor. Her face cheeks painted with blue marks and under her eyelids were thick mascara, her tattos in a very ancient rune design. She looked like an ancient princess.

Anna gwaked her Alex, "let me see your attire."

Alex smiled and opened her robe, it was tiger skin and fur. Her long skirt that was stripped by her two sides stopping at her hips.

She was almost naked.

Well, it was a all women thing.

Her tiger top had one hand and it stopped right after her breast, making her tattooed and painted tummy to be seen.

Bella frowned abit as she starred at Alex,

"Aren't you, too exposed?

Alex let out a silent scoff as she approached her and fixed Bella's mascara.

"That's why it's a female night."

"Wait, no man comes by.. at all?" Anna asked to be sure.

Her attire too was very much exposed.

"Only the future Alpha."

"You mean the to be crowned Alpha?" Bella asked.

"Yes." Alex answered and moved to Anna's eyes.

"I'm dressed more exposed because of the moon dance ritual."

"Moon dance?" Bella arched a brow. She hated dancing.

Alex laughed. "Not everyone Bella, just me and some other ladies. I'm a dancer, remember?"

"Oh." Anna nodded. "So, all dancers are dressed like this?"

"Not all. Some naked."

Silence..

"Oh..wow.." Bella said.

Alex laughed.

"Come, we should get going." She said when the maids stepped back from the two girls with their heads bowed.

"The drums have started." She added and looked at the four maids. They were already dressed.

"Go on. Don't be late."

"Yes, Alex." The maids chroused and left.

"Alex?" Anna asked in confusion.

"I asked them to call me by my name. It's awkward when they pledge to me."

The girls nodded in understanding, Alex was like that. She was simple to everyone.

They walked out of the room with their robes in their hands.

.....

Ciara walked with a black robe on.. Zayn following closely and quietly till they arrived at the garden. She halted and so did he.

"You can't escort me further." She said and turned to face him.

He nodded, "I'm aware." He said and slowly looked to her face- she looked beautiful..

They hadn't shared a word since that afternoon and he knew she gave him space because of last night.

"Ciara.." he started.

"It's tonight." She said back cutting him short and taking the remaining space towards him.

Zayn words disappeared immediately she spoke. He gave a faint smile.

"I must not wait for you."

"You won't." He said as they stared at each other. Their eyes feeling off each other's souls.

"It's not a request Zayn Callidor." She whispered.

"It's an order." She added and he immediately closed the gap by placing his lips on hers, kissing her softly. His hands grabbing her waist as he sucked her tongue and lower lips.. He slowly released her.

He looked into her eyes,

"If not that those fucking drums were echoing right now..." He paused and Ciara slowly gulped.. the look in his eyes was not scary, it was terrifying.. in a sexy way.

"You would be in my bed already... maybe tied to the headboard." He said and whispered the last part.

Ciara brows creased... her lips betraying her. She asked..

"You regret chasing me last night?"

"I regret being a coward for years." He said and their lips met again just as though they knew what they had in each other's heart.

Fuck..

Just let this night end and she will be with Zayn forever. She couldn't wait anymore. All that stood between them was the WWS(werewolves women societal)..

Her lips slipped from his when they heard some rustling in the bush nearby... They waited abit and a rabbit ran by. Ciara gave death glares to the rabbit while Zayn looked her expression and smiled.

"It didn't mean to disturb." He defended.

She sighed and looked at him, changing the topic.

"Did you welcome Leo?"

"I did." He answered and smiled softly again.

He only smiled this much when he was with her.

"He'll be there tonight. Treat him well."

Ciara laughed softly and shook her head. " You sound as if I'm going to beat or eat him up. Besides, all women there wear masks. He won't see my face tonight."

"Then his coronation. But tonight-" Zayn paused as his hand crawled to Ciara's cheeks..

"You belong to me."

Ciara nodded and leaned her head on his with closed eyes.

She loved him..

That was all that mattered.

There was no need for a useless bond in her life.

'I'll be back right quick. Don't sleep off'

She mind linked and he smiled and gave a slight peck to her lips, her eyes opened.

"Go already." He said with a smug smirk. She leaned back with a laugh, "Alright." She smiled one last time at him before turning and leaving...

Chants and melodic songs echoed as Ciara entered the women mist with two maids behind her. All the women had taken off their robes and Ciara slowly took off hers.

Her throne was fixed in the middle of the women decorated specially for her.. After giving her robe to the Maid behind she walked to Her throne, white fur that matched with the attire she making her stand out as the moonlight shone brightly in the middle of where her throne was.

A chant echoed again.. Loud and clear..

The full moon giving them all a colorful background.

The tattos on Ciara's were designed to make her look like a goodness. There was no body part left untouched, above her breasts, her stomach, her hands, her neck.

She looked enchanting as the white fur embroidered alongside the Tattoos.

She sat on her throne as the chant was sung.

The drums echoed again.

"Ciara looks like a godess." Anna whispered.

Bella only smiled. They sat at the left hand side of Ciara amongst the other female werewolves and Alex too.

As the drums changed in their rhythm, another chant was echoed and some ladies danced in. Anna let out a soft and shocked gasp while Bella's eyes widened.

"I thought you were kidding!" Bella turned to Alex who laughed softly and shook her head.

The women weren't fully naked, only their chestsides were exposed but decorated with tattoos and paintings. It almost looked like a top if someone didn't look too close.

"It's beautiful though." Anna whispered and Bella shifted in her seat uncomfortably.

"Stop watching their tits and focus on the dance." Bella whispered back and Anna cheeks reddened.

"Hehe hehe, not my fault now, ay."

The bare chest women danced and danced, Bella wondered how their dance could look so intimate yet sacred and beautiful, passionate...

Suddenly, the drums stopped at the same time with the dancers,then they left and everyone stood. Everywhere and everything was quiet.

Anna and Bella got abit confused but they joined them to stand....
