Again Alpha Zane's POV I sink into the warm water, my head back against the wall. With my eyes closed I concentrate hard, the bond between Ariel and me is still weak as our wolves have not yet accepted each other. It takes a lot of energy, but with my Alpha strength I can slowly break through. We cannot communicate verbally, but I can let her feel my moods. Happiness, longing, and lack I convey to her and I notice that she is startled. She probably didn't think I would be able to reach her. But I can feel the bond strengthening again. If I'm to believe my Delta, she left Miami by bus, so it could be that she's moving closer to New York again. I have to act fast because this could all change if she changes direction again. 'Come back to me, mate. It is impossible to escape the fate of the Moon Goddess. Come and let us complete the mating process. I'll be waiting,' I whisper. 'Selene, please bring her back. I long for her so much, I have waited for he
Alpha Gorgio's POV I couldn't refuse when Ariel's father, Alpha King Petric, called and invited me to a meeting at his pack. Alpha Zane had asked him to mediate, the man wanted to work out arrangements with me in this triangular mating. Like my father-in-law, he believes Ariel will come back when she knows we have reached an agreement and we all accept that we are now both mated to her. Alpha Zane is obviously disillusioned. I have no intention of sharing Ariel with anyone. She is mine, the Moon Goddess blessed and ratified our mating at the Joining Ceremony. Selene created me as I am now, with all my character and habits. And she knew I would never agree to share my mate, now or ever. I am capable of waging war if necessary, even challenging that wretched Alpha to keep my mate. He'll keep his claws off her if he knows what's good for him. Either way, Alpha Zane won't live. I am damn sure Ariel will stay with me and reject this mating as well. And to put an end to his claim, I will
Again Alpha Gorgio's POV Furiously, I jump to my feet again. The chair collapses behind me. I shift partially, my claws coming out. This Alpha owes his life today to our host, the father of my mate. In any other case or place, if he had dared to suggest this bullshit to my face, I would have crushed the scum to death. Look at him, even thinking about sleeping with my woman for a whole month! Xander is so ready to get down to business. "Try putting your paws on my mate and see what I'm capable of! I challenge you, Alpha Zane," I snarl viciously. "You fool! Did you really think I would agree to this shit? Do I look like a pimp to you? You didn't even have to come out of your house with that shit proposal." My Beta Jace is also infuriated. "Alpha Zane, I speak on behalf of my pack, Eclipse Howl," he rumbles. "The disrespect you showed our Luna today will not go unpunished. I swear to you that we will avenge our Luna's honor. You have just made a grave mistake".
Alpha Zane's POV Midnight Moon is buzzing with activity. My pack members are pulling out all the stops to welcome their Luna as a queen and to shower her with plenty of love. Many already know her, her mating with Gorgio was widely reported in the werewolf live stream media and most discussed on social media. Until now, I cannot believe that she was actually coming. Especially after Gorgio's outburst and threats. I had already prepared myself for a tough battle to win my Luna, maybe even petition the Council. With the King and Queen as witnesses, I would certainly win the case. And the consequences would be very unpleasant for all of us since everything would be widely noted in the press. Maybe even spiced up for the thrill or high sales. So, when Alpha King Petric informed me two days after the failed meeting that Ariel had agreed to move to Midnight Moon, I couldn't believe my ears. However, there are conditions attached to her arrival, which she will go through wi
Alpha Zane's POV My heart pounds as I watch the jet coming closer. The emblem of the Alpha King's office is clearly visible on the fuselage. I smile, the man is sending his daughter to her mate in style, I wouldn't have done it any other way. I glanced at the decorations the women of the pack had put up. The path is lined with the most beautiful flowers and there is an arch of fresh lilies. Two men were laying a red carpet for her. All the best for the Luna of Midnight Moon. And when the pilot finally lands the plane and opens the door, she steps out. There she was, as stunning as I remembered her. Naturally, I visited her social media accounts and searched for information about her online. She had always kept a low profile until she was mated to Gorgio. Her F******k wall is full of pictures of the two of them together, during their joining and Luna ceremony, hand in hand during pack holidays, dancing with Gorgio and all sorts of intimate moments captured. In almost all of them, sh
Alpha Zane's POVIt's heartwarming to see Midnight Moon accepting my mate right away.And Ariel seems to be having a great time. We stepped off the stage so the members could meet her in person. After all, she is their Luna and will be in direct contact with mostly the females and pups on a daily basis. But it strikes me how she can separate herself from me so easily. Don't get me wrong, she embraces the pack, tries to build a personal relationship with each one. But she is not warm and longing towards me. Mates have a natural urge to be close to each other and, as newly mated, I expect her to hang on to me all the time to assert her claim. I have seen that so often around me with friends and family. Like now. I look around to see where she has gone. And then I spot her with a group of women, talking about a project to increase business in the pack. This a great way for Luna to establish herself. She schedules an appointment to meet the women at the packh
Alpha Zane's POV"We're going to war with them! What are these humans thinking?"My fist hits my desk hard, causing a crack in the wood. Everything on it falls to the floor, but I don't give a damn."I've been patient with them for too long. We chase them away, but they keep coming back. This ends now, we kill them all now". My face is twisted with rage. Eric has just informed me that he has caught two humans on our territory. They claimed to have lost their way after a picnic.But I damn well know they are lying. They are investigating massive gold deposits that run from neutral territory through Gorgio's pack to Midnight Moon. The humans want the gold to enrich themselves, nothing is more important to them than their own gain. Ignoring the warnings and reprimands of the border patrol, they continue to try their luck."Kensley, mobilize the warriors. Anyone who comes within a yard of our border will be slaughtered. It might stop after the first two deaths," I roar."We have a peace t
A Third Party ... I deliberately sat behind the passenger seat.From this angle, I can't see much of her and I don't run the risk of our eyes colliding in the mirrors. Her mate is at the wheel while she sits next to him. Kensley is in the back seat next to me. But I can't escape her insanely addictive scent. It makes me drunk with lust, draws me to her, tempts me to taste the sweetness of her lips. I want to grab her and crush her against me until we become one body. But it's impossible, she already has two mates. And I will be damned if I share my mate with two more men. Nah, not me.However, something is off with her.She is attracted to me, I can tell by the way she looks at me. It's affection, maybe infatuation, like in human sports, but the bond I feel for her is not there. And when I heard Zane complaining about the same problem with her yesterday, I could well imagine it. But there is a difference.She simply feels nothing for Zane, no attachment
