Tax and I made our way cautiously toward the scent, making sure to announce our presence with a soft howl.As we got closer, the young female Lycan turned to face us, her eyes wide with surprise. She was a wolf with a silver coat that glistened in the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees. This was the first time I had seen a she-wolf with these features. We both shifted, and then I saw a woman about eighteen years old, blonde with an hourglass waist, almost stunning in appearance."Hello," I greeted her softly."Hi," she responded reservedly. "Who are you? This land belongs to my parents.""My name is Johnston, and my wolf is Tax," I explained. "We just arrived in the Kingdom yesterday and are simply out for a run to relax. We did not mean to disturb anyone, please believe me."The young Lycan relaxed slightly but still appeared wary. "I'm Princess Coralie," she said softly."Why were you crying? Are you hurt, Princess?" I asked with concern.She turned her head to hide the tr
This is a Once-in-a-Lifetime Chance!I can now access firsthand information about the Royal family.I understand the importance of being subtle to avoid raising any suspicions with the Princess, as I don't want her to become guarded. Currently, she is in a vulnerable emotional state, which is precisely what was needed for her to feel comfortable sharing. Her focus on personal issues has made her less vigilant at this time."Yes, actually," I answered with a casual tone. "The Royal family fascinates me greatly. There's an abundance of rumors about what goes on in the Palace, and it piques my curiosity. I used to think such intrigues were exclusive to suspense novels."She abruptly pivoted and walked back toward me.Initially, she approached with caution, her eyes narrowed. Her upbringing likely emphasized the importance of safeguarding family information and honed her combat skills. Similarly, Erica shares these traits but has channeled them into a love for martial arts that propelled
Still Johnstons Point of ViewIt was time to help the Princess face reality.She is desperate and has focused her attention on me, simply because I was nearby.“I already have a mate. She’s waiting for me in Harvest Moon and once I’m finished here, I'll return to her. I'm really looking forward to it," I mentioned as I noticed the flicker of disappointment in her eyes."Harvest Moon? My parents are there right now. I left just a few hours ago after being rejected by the future Alpha."This was an astonishing disclosure.A missing Prince accompanied by twins, a deceased aunt, and a Beta mate, it all felt eerily similar to the beginning of Erica and me in Moon Light. This aunt was an important clue but sadly had passed away. Meanwhile, the King and Queen were now in Harvest Moon, the exact destination where Erica was headed. Could it really be just a coincidence? My mind buzzed with attempts to fit together these fragmented pieces of an intricate puzzle, but before that,
Before I had a chance to respond, Royal Gamma Jannel stood up and turned to face the Alpha. The tension between them was palpable, like an electric charge crackling in the air.“Calm down, Alpha," she asserted confidently. "This is Johnston, the future Gamma of Moon Light. I'm certain you've come across his name lately."The Alpha's eyes narrowed as he sized me up, his posture still tense."Why are you here?" he demanded, his tone sharp and accusatory. "And why are you sitting so close to my mate? You must have sensed that she is no longer available—you’re a high-ranking wolf!""I just finished speaking with the Royal Gamma," I replied, attempting to keep my voice calm. "Our conversation has ended. Apologies for any inconvenience, but there's something else I need to attend to.""Wait!" he exclaimed suddenly, an urgent tone in his voice. "Johnston? Are you Johnston Wentworth from Harvest Moon?"He moved closer, but his previous aggression had completely vanished. His demeanor had chan
"Marco, what was that all about?" Royal Gamma Jannel demanded through clenched teeth. "I was so close to earning his trust, and then you had to come and show off by announcing in front of everyone that you have a mate?"Marco, overwhelmed with frustration, grappled to articulate his thoughts.He understood that his mate was strong-willed and fiercely independent, qualities he greatly admired. Yet, those very traits made it difficult to win her over and establish effective communication between them. In truth, this was a particularly bad time to assert his claim on her. He had misread the situation entirely and made a colossal mistake.Gamma Jannel’s eyes were ablaze with fury, and he understood that she would hold this against him. It felt like everything was falling apart at once, even their conversation in the helicopter had ended badly."Jannel," he started, trying to connect with her more compassionate side. "I hope you can forgive me, but I need you to see things from my perspect
Erica's Point of ViewJust one more turn and we'll reach the gates of Harvest Moon.I can't say I'm thrilled to be here, but there's a good chance my mate is within these borders, and I'll finally meet him. However, that prospect isn't necessarily appealing to me. He likely won't be Johnston, which means I could face a dilemma.Maybe I'm overthinking this, though; after all, the mate bond is meant to nurture love and affection for both of us. There's also a great possibility that by tomorrow at this same time, I'll have forgotten about Johnston completely.After an emotional farewell with his mate, Xander left for his pack.I feel a strong urge to conclude this journey, as I genuinely wish for them to be united and overcome the obstacles in Blue Moon. However, since the Moon Goddess has decreed that Xena must remain with me until the end, she will comply regardless of what it takes or how long it lasts.I'm feeling a bit down since Johnston left without saying anything.

ERICA’S Point Of ViewExcitement is all I feel when waking up. Today marks the day when I’ll leave my precious pack, the people whom I’ve known and loved all my life, to go into the wide world searching for my fated mate.To ensure I was well-prepared, I did my research among couples in my pack.In particular, we discussed how to find and recognize your mate as well as the special signs. I have heard many stories about a breathtaking and unique scent that only mates can detect from each other. Mated females were very open in describing the feeling of sparks and electricity coursing through their bodies leading up to the steamy, wet intercourse that's part of the bond. Weird thing.I wonder how much truth these tales hold. But if it’s true, I want to experience every aspect. Yeah, all of it, from the touching to the intimacy. Ezra, my bestie, who is mated to the hot six-pack body and newly-appointed Beta Richel, lectured me that high-ranked wolves, once they find their destined mate, p

Still Johnston’s Point of ViewA constant buzzing noise pulled me out of a deep, dreamless sleep.It's been weeks since I last felt this refreshed. When I opened my eyes, I realized I'd slept through most of the day. Clearly, I was more exhausted than I had thought. The cozy bed definitely helped me sleep well, it's almost as soft and comfortable as the one at my parents' home.As I open my eyes, I see that the balcony's sliding door is already ajar and its curtain pulled aside. The gentle morning sun streams into my room, prompting me to blink a few times and raise a hand to shield my eyes as they adjust.For a brief moment, I'm uncertain of where I am until it dawns on me. An affable warrior named Iwan generously provided me with this apartment in the Palace, a lavish space equipped with every conceivable comfort.I slowly slid out of bed and make my way to the balcony, taking in the fresh morning air. The forest is close to the Palace, probably private property. With Iwan mentioni
Johnston's Point of ViewIt took me over three days in wolf form to reach the gigantic gates of the Kingdom. I had read about them and heard stories about the ironwork made of werewolf figures, but I could never have imagined the impression they would make on me. The sheer size and intricate details of the gates were awe-inspiring, leaving me momentarily breathless as I stood before them.When I registered with the Royal guards, they surprisingly let me pass without too many questions after I filled out the mandatory registration forms. Even when I mentioned that I had no place to stay yet, they handed me a list of lodgings not far from the Palace. That was exactly what I needed since my investigation would begin with the Royals.The information I have about Erica's and my background suggests that our biological families are here, members of the Royal family. We are both Lycans, although it is not evident in our wolves, apart from a few notable features. Lycans are much larger than Era
