The next day, Ethan flew to London to meet a friend he talked to at the council's meeting yesterday.
He took the trip for three days.
When he arrived in London, Ethan approached a man who was as tall and tight as he was sitting in a restaurant.
"Hi James, have you waited long enough for me?" asked Ethan to the man.
"No, Ethan, I just got here a few minutes ago, and how are you, bro!" replied James.
"I'm good, and you?" Ethan asked back.
James knocked, "Well, did you say you're married again? Don't tell me because you're not strong enough to do it!" James said again.
Ethan's been cheering, and then they ordered coffee and some other snacks. Without a word, Ethan also began to say what the meeting meant.
"James, I'm just going to the point. How about your father's grocery business, now?" asks Ethan.
James replied, "Good enough, sales are also increasing lately, but the supply is running out fast," James said.
"It's a coincidence that I'm here to get a profitable collaboration," Ethan said.
James was curious, and then he responded to Ethan's remarks carefully. Ethan told me he intended to send apples and strawberries to James's father's grocery. As you know, local fruits from Siberia are of good quality.
"I agree with you, Ethan! It's the last contract with the fruit supplier. He said he's going to build a housing complex. So, it's not likely to send any more fruit to my father's grocery," James said.
Ethan feels ridden to hear it. It was like a continuous fortune since Cora's presence. His pack returned to ordinary operation and found a brilliant solution to the expansion of the business, and James just agreed to the cooperation. Cora is a gift for the Crescent Pack.
In short, James invited Ethan to meet his father the next day. His father was very much in agreement because Ethan also offered a relatively low price compared to the previous supplier. It'll be an equally profitable business.
While at Crescent Pack, Cora was busy handling all of Alpha Ethan's jobs while he was on his way to London.
"You're so cool, Luna Cora! Alpha Ethan deserves to feel a mate bond with you," praised Beta Noah, who had just finished escorting Cora to talk to an investor.
Cora and Beta Noah walk in the courtyard of a wealthy businessman's house in the city. They went to the town to meet two former investors in the Blood Moon pack.
The woman invited them to re-establish a partnership with Crescent Pack in the fruit export business. Of course, that's interesting to think for them, besides Cora's negotiating intelligence. As a result, Cora gained the trust of the two investors again.
"Thanks, beta Noah, you always praised me! Hopefully, this is a good start to overcoming the Crescent Pack economic crisis," Cora said.
"Hopefully, I hope Alpha Ethan can bring a letter of cooperation agreement with the grocery owner," said Beta Noah, smiling at Cora.
***
Two days later, it's true that Alpha Ethan returned to Crescent Pack with a letter of cooperation contract. All the pack members are happy.
Elder Sofia approached Cora, "Thank you, Luna Cora!" she said.
"You're welcome!" said Cora.
"Then how many of our first orders? Should we send the goods as soon as possible?" asked Beta Noah to Alpha Ethan.
"James asked us to start shipping 30 kilograms of apples and 20 kilos of strawberries, the timing of our first harvest. They still have sufficient stock from the previous supplier, but it doesn't mean we can relax. If we can quickly harvest, it's better," explains Ethan Width.
"And most importantly, the quality of the product must be our priority," Cora said.
Ethan nodded, "Of course! Umm, and how about the investors?" asked Ethan to Cora.
"They agreed. So, you and Beta Noah and the others are left to arrange and encourage the Crescent pack's members to work harder," Cora said.
Finally, now the pack has turned into a busy atmosphere. Everyone's doing the job. Someone started cleaning up the vast empty land behind the house pack to grow apples and shrimp. Fortunately, the weather has been friendly lately. It's a profitable time to plant the seedlings.
While waiting for the first export to succeed, they still have to save on expenditure first because the space-time between planting and harvesting takes about four to five months.
The short story of the night arrived. Cora stared at the moon in the sky from the house pack.
She missed some people in the Blood Moon pack, except for Dave.
"Is it possible that they are now struggling to build a pack with an Alpha Dave, who has no dedication? Beta Daniel may also be carrying a double burden at the moment. I wish I could help, but I won't meet with Dave, but I think it's impossible."
Ethan seemed to understand what Cora was thinking. He was entering the house pack after visiting Elder Sofia's house and turned to see Cora standing and staring at the moon in the night sky.
"Luna Cora, don't overthink!" Ethan shocked Cora.
"Ah, Alpha Ethan, I'm surprised!" said Cora.
Ethan just smiled and then hugged Cora from behind.
"Why do you always worry about a pack that hurts you?" asked Ethan.
"The only thing that hurt me is Dave, not the others of that pack rely heavily on my presence," Cora said.
The more Ethan hugged Cora. The woman could feel Ethan's breath on her neck.
"But it doesn't mean you have to keep thinking about them. I believe they're trying to find a solution now that you're part of the Crescent Pack, so your focus is just here, okay?"
Cora nodded because it was true, and she turned her body toward Ethan, and now the two of them were staring at each other.
The nighttime romanticism re-enveloped her. However, the pheromone smell in Cora's body was very sharp, always making the hard-headed man drunk.
Without Ethan's speech, Cora headed to their room to make a return. Through the night, they were until the sun returned from the east horizon.
Cora twisted Ethan's body to wake him up. "Dear, let's get up! It's time for breakfast and go to the house pack again," Cora always tries to shake his body.
"I always wanted a long time with you, honey! Why should the morning come so fast? Ethan whispered while steaming.
"The bastard!" cried Cora, who stabbed Ethan's nose.
"Oh, you're brave now!" Ethan replied, rumoring to Cora.
They were joking on their beds and had to return to their intimated. Suddenly, the door in their room was knocked by an omega, when they were in heat.
"Alpha Ethan, Luna Cora, Excuse me! I want to serve breakfast while delivering a message from Beta Noah."
Cora and Ethan hurried to put on their clothes, both surprised as they chuckled.
"Okay, wait a minute!" shouted Cora from inside the room.
Then, after wearing her pajamas, the woman ran around and opened the door.
"Thanks for the breakfast. What information would Beta Noah want to convey?" asked Cora.
"Alpha Ethan must go to the house pack immediately," replied the omega.
"Well, tell Betha Noah! Me and Alpha to have breakfast first!" said Cora.
"Okay, Luna Cora! I'm sorry if I disturb your time," Omega replied.
"No problem, it's okay, you can back to work, and thanks!" Cora smiled at the Omega.
A half-hour later, Cora arrived there. Beta Noah informed them that there was a message request from a store in the city for the delivery of goat's milk.
"Didn't the store just order a lot last week?" asked Ethan to Beta Noah.
"Our administrators reached out the information to the store. The goat's milk is exhausted fast," Beta Noah said again.
Ethan said, "It's unpredictable. We plan to develop a new business, and the old firm starts to see its progress again.
It turns out it's true. The people in the city today need goat's milk, circulating information that they're suffering from a TBC outbreak and believe goat milk can cure it.
As good news for Crescent Pack, Ethan also immediately asked farm officials to improve the health of the sheep on their farms, pay attention to their feed, and maintain the quality of the cage hygiene, as well as the process of blackmailing and packaging their sheep's milk.
"Ethan!" Cora suddenly whispered to Ethan, "I've become a Luna in this pack, but something I've ignored. Cora continued.
"What is it? Not about business?" asked Ethan back.
Cora knocked, "The history of this pack. I want to know."
"You're right! I almost forgot to tell you because I was too busy asking you to deal with this pack economy solution."
"You didn't ask for my help, but I took the initiative to help," Cora said.
The man smiled again and explained the history of the Crescent Pack.
The Crescent Pack was born a century ago. There was a big war between the Crescent Pack and the Silver Moon Pack in the Arun region. The Silver Moon Pack was a werewolf cluster that was quite strong and large for that time. No one could compete with it. Until one time, Alpha's ancestor, the Crescent pack, won a battle for territory while the number of members was so small.
"In the end, our pack defeated the Silver Moon Pack, some of whom chose to be rogues, and the others joined us," Ethan explained.
Cora was very impressed with Alpha's previous of the Crescent pack. He arranged his fighting strategy and wisdom in leading. It proves that winning doesn't always start with something big.
Even though the Crescent Moon Pack was too small, they were competent to overpower the Silver Moon Pack's tenacity.
Then Ethan also takes Cora to the lake, where Cora once calmed down when Ethan first asked her to be his Luna, and she wasn't ready. Then, Elder Sofia approached Cora.
"You know Cora? This lake is also a history of how my parents met, just like us," Ethan explained.
"What do you mean? Ask Cora again.
"Yes, once my father was just like you, unintentionally entering the territory of the Crescent Pack. Like my father's human, he was a hunter. Then my mother realized that my father was her mate, until briefly, they were married." Ethan stared at the calm lake water in front of him.
Cora cried, "Maybe the Crescent Pack has its magical powers. It attracts people to come here, including me."
"I think so," Ethan squeezed.
They were both sitting on a great rock by the lake, seeing the beautiful sight around them with a gentle wind blowing.
Cora then bends her head and puts it on Ethan's shoulder.
They both told each other everything about their lives and then Ethan Caspar introduced the wolf in him named Mike to Cora.
"Mike has almost the same nature as Lucy seems to have, always behind his mind with us," Ethan said.
"I think so too, but at least they can control us when we're in trouble and lose our selfishness," Cora whispered, staring at Ethan.
Ethan stabbed the woman's cheek, and Cora replied the same thing. They followed each other, seeing how happy and in love they were. Ethan finally managed to catch Cora's body and hug her back, and they gave her a sweet kiss.
Ethan let go of his fist. "We're going to go somewhere else," he continued.
Cora nodded and asked, "Where?"
"To the big Crescent Pack family funeral," replied Ethan.
Cora gave it to him, and they went to the family funeral.
Suddenly, they stopped at one of the tombs with a white crown on top of the stone. Ethan invited Cora to come up there and send a prayer.
Here's Clara Henley, Ethan's ex-wife, and Luna's previous ex. There was still a sad look on Ethan's face when he saw Clara's photo on the tombstone.
Cora realized the sadness of the man, and then she hugged Ethan. "She's got his best place right now. I believe she's happy there," Cora said.
Ethan grabbed Cora's arm and drowned in Luna's arms, but as Cora was calming Ethan. She suddenly realized something. Cora saw a man in a red robe watching them under the tree and from a distance.
Cora then loosened Ethan's arms slowly. "Do you look like somebody's looking at us?" asked Cora.
"No, why?"
When Cora wanted to tell someone who was watching them from so far away, she suddenly disappeared.
"Oh, don't forget, maybe I was hallucinating," Cora said.
"Umm... I think we should go home. Maybe you are so tired and need to rest," suggested Ethan and Cora nodded.
However, as she walked away from the grave, Cora occasionally looked back. Reflecting on the person he saw earlier, is he still paying attention to himself and Ethan? But in fact, the man suddenly disappeared.
