Two years earlier......
Harvey's POVThe field was beautiful, filled with flowers of different bright colours. The air was also cool despite the shimmering sun, it was a beautiful day.I sighed in content, what more could I want?Everything right now was perfect.Suddenly, I heard the sound of footsteps coming from my right. I turned to it and my heart beat increased, it was a boy. He looked to be about the same age as me and he was walking closer to me. I stood still and watched until he was right in front of me, I looked up to try and see his face but the sun was suddenly so bright that all I could see was the shape of his head.He smelled really nice, I couldn't pinpoint exactly what he smelled of but I knew it was a very pleasant scent. He also had no shirt on, his bare chest glistened with a wet like sheen under the sun. My eyes spotted three peculiar birthmarks close to his left shoulder that looked like three moles coming together to form a triangle."Harvey" the boy called, he knew my name but his voice sounded so faint, almost like a whisper"Who are you?" I asked in awe, I looked up towards his face again. The harsh glare of the sun still would not relent enough to let me catch a glimpse of his face so I had no choice but to settle my gaze on the birthmarks.The boy gingerly and slowly reached up a hand to my face. I could have flinched away from his touch but for some reason; I found myself leaning into it.He lovingly caressed my cheek"I'm your mate and we're going to be together forever. I also promise to love you unconditionally until the day I take my very last breath"I gasped inaudiblyMy mate!He's my mate!Well that definitely explains why I didn't flinch away from his touch and why his presence and scent feels so soothing. But I wanted to see his face, if he was indeed my mate then I needed to see his face"Harvey?"I looked up at the boy again, my mate. The voice didn't sound like it came from him.....or did it?"Harvey? Harvey!"I jolted awake and came face to face with the angry face of my mother glaring down disapprovingly at me. My brows furrowed in confusion, had it been a dream?"What's going on? Where am I?" I croaked out and she scoffed"What kinds of questions are those? It's almost eleven in the morning and you're still in bed. I know it's a weekend but I will not have any daughter of mine sleeping through the whole day. Get up, get dressed and come down for breakfast because we need to join the others for community cleaning!""Ugh!" I groaned loudly as she stomped away, leaving the door to my room wide open.It had all been a dream. For a second I thought I had magically skipped a few years and found my mate but unfortunately it was all a dream. I was still fifteen and very much single, I also still had to join my family for the community cleaning that our pack; the Silver Moon pack, held every first Saturday of the month.I felt a stirring in my mind, my wolf was waking up too. Apparently she had been asleep while I was having the dream. That's probably why I hadn't felt her react or acknowledge a mate bond with the boy in my dream.I hear mum yelling from downstairs for me to get out of bed and get ready for the community cleaning.The community cleaning basically just involves all the pack families and members of the Silver Moon pack coming together to clean the premises that belonged to the pack. We each get assigned to clean certain places like the pack house, the pack infirmery, the event hall, the guest house and so on.Luckily, the Silver Moon pack was one of the smallest packs in the state with a population of only two thousand so there wasn't a lot of space to break your back cleaning.I finally managed to drag myself out of bed and into the bathroom where I took a very quick shower before pulling on a casual outfit of a t-shirt and jeans. I stomped downstairs where I found my parents standing closely together in the kitchen, murmuring softly to each other and laughing.I made a disgusted face at them when I came into their line of sight. I did not need their nauseating public displays of affection as the very first thing I see when I come down for my breakfast in the morning."Gross, I get that you're soulmates and all but I haven't had my breakfast yet so can you not?" I scowled at them and they chuckledDad beamed at me"Good morning pup, how was your night?"I sighed tiredly as I settled in front of the kitchen counter"Fine, wish I could stay in bed all day though"He tsked at me"You know you can't, pup. It's the first Saturday of the month and we gotta help out. Do our part, that's what being in a pack means"I waved dismissively at him with one hand while I poured milk into my cereal with the other"I know, dad. You don't have to start with the lecture this morning"He shook his head at me with a soft smile playing on his lips as I began shoveling spoonfuls of my favourite cereal into my mouth. Dad finished the rest of his coffee and placed the cup in the sink"Well, I'm off. I'm working near the pack's border so I guess I'll see you gals later"He gave mum a quick kiss on the lips as they bade their goodbyes"See ya kiddo" He ruffled my hair before walking out through the kitchen door"Bye dad""So do you know where you got assigned to clean?" mum asked and I shook my head at her. The kitchen door opened again and one of my best friends; Alessia, walked in smiling, dressed in casual clothes too, her long blonde hair tied up in a ponytail"Good morning, Mrs Jones. What's up bestie?" she chirped happily"Good morning, Alessia dear. Are you here to get Harvey?" mum asked her and she nodded"Yep. She, Scarlett and I were lucky enough to all get assigned to the Alpha's house"My eyes widened"We're cleaning the Alpha's house?""Yeah we are and it's just the three of us so let's get going!" she urgedI blinked severally and hurriedly finished up the rest of my cereal before bading mum goodbye and walking out with an excited Alessia"I'm so happy we get to clean the Alpha's house. I hope his sons are around, I'd love to sneak glances at them while we work!" she squealed as we rounded the corner that led to the Alpha's houseI rolled my eyes playfully at her. I wasn't as excited as her that we would be cleaning the alpha's house but I also wasn't unhappy about it. The Alpha, his Luna and their two sons were good people and very easy to like. Especially the Luna, she loved to bake so there was always lots of baked goodies available in their home which she tended to be very generous with to guests and visitors.Her two sons; Kayden and Zachary were also not bad to look at. Kayden, who is the oldest brother and the future Alpha of our pack tended to be serious and always stuck to his dad's side, trying to learn the ropes of how to be alpha someday from him. I didn't always see him often because he was three years older than us and had finished high school but whenever I did see him, he was always polite and friendly.His younger brother, Zach, who was the same age as us, was more laid-back. Like any other normal teenager, he enjoyed parties and video games but he wasn't a delinquent and neither did he get bad grades or sleep around. He was actually pretty decent and didn't give his parents a hard time."I had another dream last night" I suddenly blurted out to Alessia, causing her to immediately halt in her steps. Luckily, we were already in front of the Alpha's house"W.... What? Another dream? Like the one you had about our science teacher that came true?" she gasped and I nodded, biting my lower lip"But this one was different and weird" I said as I tucked my hair behind my earAlessia's brows furrowed"Different and weird how?"I leaned in closer to her and whispered"I think I saw my mate"Alessia gasped loudly as her eyes widened"You what?!"I shushed her"Lower your voice, I don't want anybody to hear""Hear what?"We both jumped at the sound of the new voice but we let out a sigh of relief when we saw our other friend, Scarlett standing behind us, grinning from ear to ear"What are you two whispering about and what don't you want anybody to hear, Harvey?" she questioned, placing her hands on her hips"Harvey had another dream but this time, she supposedly saw her mate" Alessia quickly filled her in in a rushed whisper and it was Scarlett's turn to gasp with bulging eyes"Yeah, yeah. Listen let's talk about this after we finish cleaning, okay? There's no time now"They tried protesting but I grabbed both their arms and dragged them to the door where I rang the doorbell. The Luna welcomed us warmly into the sweet smelling house and I smiled because I knew we would definitely be getting some baked goodies at the end of this."There's not much to clean because the boys and I have already done much of the work but you can help move some of these stuff from the garage to the basement" the Luna said and we smiled happily at each other.Free treats and not much work, we were so loving the sound of it."Sure Luna, show us where to start!""Alright, follow me girls"We trudged obediently after her to the garage that was filled with boxes"Just move all these boxes down to the basement and be careful, some of them contain breakables""No problem Luna, we got this""Yeah, we can totally handle it"She smiled warmly at us"Alright then, I'll leave you girls to it. I'm baking cupcakes so make sure to pass by the kitchen for some when you're done""We sure will, thanks Luna!" we chorused and got to work immediately she left"Harvey, isn't this like the third dream you've had since you turned fifteen?" Scarlett asked as we lifted one box each and entered back into the house to go down to the basement."Yeah, but I doubt this one will come true like the other two. I mean, who is lucky enough to see their mate before they turn eighteen?" Alessia said as we neatly arranged the boxes on top of each other at a corner in the wide basement"Technically, I didn't get to see his face. I only barely heard his voice and I know that he has a very unique birthmark on his left shoulder"Scarlett scrunched up her nose"That's all you were able to see?""Yep" I nodded "But I think it's more than enough for me to identify my mate before I turn eighteen, don't you think?"Alessia clicked her tongue as we each grabbed another box, this time; I piled on two"Does that mean you're going to go around asking guys if they have a weird birthmark on their left shoulders?" she asked and I bit my lip in thought"W....Well I don't know. I'll figure it out" I replied.We arranged the boxes in the basement and walked back out to the garage. We all stopped in our tracks when we saw Zach, the youngest son of the Alpha standing close to an SUV parked a few feet away from the garage.He looked like he was getting ready to wash the car as he was pulling a water hose that was attached to an outdoor faucet closer to the car when he saw us"Oh my gosh, it's Zach!" Alessia squealed excitedly, loud enough for him to hear and I fought the urge to slap my forehead. The said boy flashed a charming smile at us"Well if it isn't the three musketeers. Scarlett, Harvey and Alessia, what are you girls doing at my house? Come to see me?" he mused, wiggling his eyebrows at us and Alessia giggledScarlett scoffed "You wish. We got assigned to clean here""Yeah, so stay out of our way and let us work" I added, narrowing my eyes at him playfully.He chuckled, raising both his hands in mock surrender"Alright, I'll be a good boy. Don't mind me though, I'm just gonna wash my dad's car"We shrugged and walked into the garage to grab more boxes"I can't believe he's home!" Alessia continued to giggle "He's so hot, I wonder if his even hotter brother, Kayden is home too"Scarlett rolled her eyes at her"We don't know, Alessia. Why don't you ask Zach"Alessia, being the sweet girl she is, totally missed Scarlett's sarcasm"Yeah, I will!" she beamed and skipped out of the garage with her boxScarlett and I shared a quick, amused look before hurrying out after her with our own boxes. We caught Alessia just in time as she was asking a shirtless Zach where his brother wasZach smirked at her question and turned off the water, facing us fully. My eyes immediately widened as I caught a glimpse of a very familiar looking thing on his left shoulder"How much are you gonna pay for that classified info?" he asked Alessia and she giggled"You want money to tell me where Kayden is?""Sure I d-""What's that on your shoulder, Zach?" I cut him off in the middle of his sentence. He paused and arched a brow before looking at his shoulder at the same time Scarlett and Alessia realized what was happening, both of them letting out loud gasps"No way, Harvey!""Is that what I think it is?"I couldn't even answer their startled questions, I was still staring at the three little moles on Zach's shoulder with disbelieving eyesScarlett grabbed my arm"Is it the same birthmark?"I nodded stiffly and the girls gasped again"You girls are starting to freak me out. What's going on? What about my birthmark?" Zach asked as the three of us continued to stare at him in stunned silence.My whole world was spinning, I just couldn't believe it. Zach has the exact same birthmark as the boy I saw in my dream who claimed to be my mate.So does this mean that......Zach is my MATE?Five Months Later......Harvey's POVThe sound of my alarm blaring made me jolt awake in bed and I turned to the bedside table to turn off the annoying sound at the same time that I peered at the screen for the time5:15PMI gasped and slid out of bed before rushing into the bathroom where I took a quick shower, dressed in a pair of jeans, a hoodie and black converses before racing downstairsI had overslept and was late to pickup Mr O'Brien, Greyson's dad for our daily walk to the small park within the pack's premises I rushed into the kitchen where Karen, the housekeeper was stirring a steaming pot "Good evening, Luna Harvey. How was your nap?" She greeted with a smile and I puffed out a breath "It was fine but I almost overslept. Where is Martha? Does she already have Mr O'Brien ready to go?" I asked"Yes, she does. They're in the living room, would you like to have something to eat before you leave?" She offered and I shook my head"No, we'll eat when we return from the walk. B
Three Weeks Later......Harvey's POV"Oh my gosh, I can't breathe. I'm so nervous!" Scarlett rasped as she fanned herself with her hands frantically Alessia rolled her eyes at her "And yet you all call ME the drama queen"I laughed heartily "Stay calm, Scarlett. There's absolutely nothing to be nervous about"She scoffed at my words "Nothing you say? We're practically getting married!"I laughed again "It's just a mating ceremony with a wedding theme"Scarlett rolled her eyes "Oh please, it's practically a wedding, a specially decorated venue with an aisle, guests and an official to join us with our mates. I mean, how are you not nervous?""Oh Scarlett, you're being dramatic. It's just a ceremony where you walk down the aisle to get joined to the man who you'll spend the rest of your life with!" Isobelle uttered and Scarlett's eyes widened"Yes! That's exactly why I'm nervous!" She cried Alessia, Isobelle and I laughed "I'm not nervous because we'll be walking down the aisle togeth
Greyson's POV I strode into the tower that overlooked the western gateAlmost all the warriors in the pack had already gathered there with Dean and Peyton at the forefrontThey all bowed to me as I walked past them and over to Dean who was standing in front of the computer monitors that was displaying the live surveillance video that was being captured by the cameras attached to the western gate "Greyson, you're here" Dean uttered when he noticed me "Where are they? Show me" I uttered as I glanced from one screen to the other"That one" Dean pointed to the monitor in the middle and I leaned forward as I peered at itEven with the darkness of midnight, I could clearly see unmistakeable figures of at least 20 rogues standing just a feet in front of the gate and two others at the forefrontOne of the figures at the front looked like that of a woman while the other definitely belonged to a man"It's definitely her" I muttered and Dean nodded"Yep. So what do we do now?" He asked and I
Harvey's POV"I'm going to kill her" Ravina swore with determination and my eyes widened slightly"I'm going to kill that bitch in the slowest and most painful way possible!" She shrieked with a blazing look in her eyes as she stared off into the distance I waved a hand in front of her face to get back her attention and her eyes slowly returned to mine"That's fine, if you want to avenge your family's death then we won't stop you but I just want you to understand one thing. We really aren't the bad guys in this story, Eliana is the villain here and I'm sorry that we kidnapped you and brought you here against your will but that's because we really need your help" I implored and she exhaled a shaky breath that I knew was an attempt to calm herself"What do you need from me?" She asked"The poison you created, it's infected my mate who also happens to be the Alpha of this pack and we really need you to concoct the permanent cure. I know that you're the only one who can do it and that's
Greyson's POVPeyton and I stopped before the northern gate where Dean and Wesley happened to be waitingI eyed the towering gate, still not believing that there were rogues who were willing to call a truce waiting on the other side.Dean walked up to me, holding a walkie-talkie in his hand "You ready to do this? Should I tell them to open the gate?" He asked and I nodded"Yes but how many of us are going out? There shouldn't be too many people so they won't get scared and run off" I replied"Relax, I thought of that. It's just going to be me, Peyton, that damn traitor because - he's the only one they trust - and you" he uttered and I grunted in approval"That's good. Tell them to open up so we can get this over with"Dean nodded before raising the walkie-talkie to his mouth and pressing down on the button"Open her up, boys. We're going through" he into the receiver to the men up in the tower who controlled the gate A crackling sound pierced the air from the walkie-talkie before a
Harvey's POVI watched as some of the colour drained from Greyson's face as he continued to stare at the drawing of the red-haired woman I had done the very next day after I had dreamt of her for the first timeMy brows furrowed slightly as I tilted my head in confusion at his reactionWhy did he look like he had just seen a ghost?"Greyson" I called and he flinched slightly before looking up at me "What's wrong? You suddenly turned almost as white as a sheet"He exhaled a deep breath and closed his eyes before opening them again "You.... You've been dreaming about her? This woman?"I nodded "Yes and I've never seen her before in my life. I have no idea who she is so that's what makes it kind of confusing. I want to know why I keep dreaming about her and just WHO she is"He swallowed thickly before slowly returning my sketchbook to me and I took it from him while watching him with narrowed eyes."I know who she is" he said suddenly and my eyes widened"You....do?!" I spluttered in sho
