FULL MOON

“Good evening grandmother.” Ethan spoke carefully to his grandmother. She is his only remaining family member and he loves her so much.

“Ethan, are you fine?” his grandmother sounded worried. “You have been forcing the whole pack into submission with your Alpha voice since the beginning of today”

Oh! How can he be so careless about that? Although, he is outside the pack's premises, his pack members would still feel the distress everytime he uses that voice on anyone.

“Yes grandmother, I am okay. Just being a bit stressed.”

“Or, have you found her?” Henrietta, his grandmother asked with what sounded like hope in her voice.

He loves and respect his grandmother a lot but how would he bring himself to tell her that after years of searching, his mate is just a mere human girl?

“Found who?” He asked, pretending to be oblivious of whom she referred to.

“You know whom we are all waiting for Ethan. Don't play jokes on me”.

“No, I haven't found her grandmother. What makes you think I will find her here? She is probably somewhere still training to be the best Luna ever or better still, she's dead!”

“Don’t rule out the possibility of having a human mate,Ethan. The moon goddess know what is best and will give everyone a mate which will perfect them.” His grandmother spoke to him calmly.

“And you think a mere human will be my perfect match? Grandmother you know that is a biggest joke. No Alpha of Arkhills ever had a human mate and I will definitely not be the first!” He said this more like a conviction to himself.

Kael looked as his Alpha through the rear mirror and wondered why he doesn't want a human mate even now that he had just met her and confirmed she is human? Isn't he feeling the pull from the mate bond?

He remembers when he first met his own mate, Sophia, he couldn't stay away from her for a minute until the mating process was completed. Ethan is an Alpha, and Alphas are more possessive of their mate than any other werewolf. He wonders how long he can keep himself away from her.

“Alright, since you are so adamant about it, be safe and remember tonight is the full moon. Don't go about hunting ‘mere’ humans like you call them. Bye.” Henrietta ended the call when she heard no further response from him.

Ethan's eyes popped out because of the last piece of information his grandmother just dropped. Tonight is the full moon? Just how could he forget that?

“Ethan, how about setting up a date with Miss Natalie and doing it, yunno? The human way. They call it dating or courting I guess.” Kael spoke once again in hopes of helping out his best friend.

“The human way”? Ethan huffed. “When does an Alpha ever have to behave like a human because of his mate?” He asked, feeling irritated already.

“That’s because no Alpha ever had a mate that is human.”

“Exactly my point, Kael. No Alpha ever had a human mate so why should I be the first?”

“Ethan, I know you are probably overwhelmed by this new discovery but please, give it a chance. No one knows why the moon goddess has done that but have you forgotten the number of years you were waiting for her? Do you put the pack in consideration too?”

“Everyone keeps talking about the moon goddess’s thoughts and all but no one cares that a powerful Alpha is being paired with a weakling. I don't need the moon goddess’s rule anyways. I will just reject her and get done with this already!” He spoke authoritatively that shows he already dismissed the matter.

Kael once again looked at Ethan through the rear mirror and sighs. What exactly can change his Alpha's mind? Maybe he might have to tell the Grand Luna, Henrietta, about their present predicament.

He should do that now that they are home and prevent Ethan from getting them to leave tomorrow like they had earlier planned.

Since Ethan is already going inside the house, he picked up his phone to call the Grand Luna but then, he had received a message from Sophia earlier on: “Tonight is the full moon baby. I miss you.”

What?

The full moon is here already?

How will he handle Ethan who is very likely to go into heat anytime soon?

(Outside Victoria's dorm, Downtown Street)

“Yes big boss, they are home now. They met with a man today and he seems to mistake Natalie as someone else. Yes, I have sent you the pictures of the man and how it transpired.” A man in black cloak sitting in the dark spoke with someone on the phone. He had earlier followed the girls to the supermarket without their knowledge.

“Okay, big boss. I will do just that.” he sprang up ready to do exactly what the other man on the phone instructed him.

(Inside Victoria's dorm)

“That is a jerk of a boss you've got, Toria. Now, I think it's good that he remains mysterious.” Natalie spoke up when they entered the room.

“Honestly, I must say Mr Kael is doing a great job keeping up with him as his assistant because to me, Ethan Woods is just a jerk!”

“But, do you think he has a girlfriend he is hiding somewhere and probably mistook me for her?” This thought had been in Natalie's mind since their mini drama in the supermarket. Does the mysterious CEO have a girlfriend who is also mysterious as well that he is probably looking for?

But what kind of girl would even date him? He even called her “mine”. Is that supposed to be romantic? Ethan does not look like someone who is capable of falling in love. What more, being romantic? Doesn't suit him!

“I don't know but he sure doesn't look like one who will be interested in a romantic relationship. I mean, who would even date a jerk like him.” Victoria replied, her thoughts were the same as Natalie's.

“Alright, enough of the mysterious CEO romance. Let us get something into the belly.”

Just then, a knock sounded on the door.

“Who is it?”
