The last two days were filled with tours of the pack and meeting some of their warriors and delegates. They met with families closest to the Alpha, but there still was no mention of when they would have a meeting to go over what brought them here. Eli and Riley had no time for each other, constantly being pulled away for lunches and dinners or shopping trips when not being introduced and in a conversation with others. She was exhausted from the sheer amount of socializing they had done so far. She had never been this social before. She kept putting on a smile and being polite as this is what she would have to get used to being the Alpha's Luna. "Riley! Are you up yet?! Alpha Forrester just called and asked if we could be at his office in 20 minutes," Eli called out from downstairs. Riley groaned and rolled over in bed. This should be more romantic, and she should be getting to know her mate better instead of his past flings. She had been spending a lot of time, especially with Lu
"Riley, you need to calm down. I didn't know Penelope would say that. I didn't even know she still had feelings. I needed a mate, and so she would have made an easy choice until I met you. You're my fate, the one the Moon Goddess made for me. I would never choose her or any other. My heart is with you. Sure, I have a past, and I'm sorry if any she-wolves come after you about that. But you have to know how serious I am about you.." Eli didn't get another word out as Riley kissed him. She passionately made out with him, right there in the living room of their cabin. She reached for his pants and undid them with her hands before reaching down and grabbing his dick. She then started to stroke it, all the way down to the shaft and back up to the tip. He was under her trance, and as she let go, she quietly made her way up the stairs. Eli followed. She slowly took her clothes off one by one, allowing Eli to watch the show. She moved to the bed and laid down on her back. "Mark him!" Ava ke
Ethan would arrive today just in time for dinner. Riley wasn't sure how much information he had been given, but Eli had spoken to his father about this proposal. It aligned the two packs that Eli was going to do before meeting Riley. Eli had brought the plan up last minute while they had gotten ready the other day before Riley had met with Luna Marigold and Penelope. Before Penelope had run off in wolf form. Before Penelope was chased through the woods and was brought back home unarmed. Things could have been a lot worse. However, she was safe, and that was all that mattered. There were more rogue attacks than normal, and Riley had a suspicious feeling it was all the Rogue King. They needed to rush the process and have a backup if Ethan didn't work out. That's what Luna Marigold and Penelope were working on today. Eli and Alpha Forrester were in meetings, warning the other surrounding packs. However, no one else seemed to have a firstborn daughter. Riley was stuck inside the cottage
"He's here Riley, let's hurry up," Eli pulled Riley along till they got to the front of the pack house. "Alpha Eli. Zach had a concerning talk with me. I apologize for all the choas my family seems to be causing for you and your mate. I have taught them better than this." "It's alright. Let's forget it ever happened and work on tonight's affairs." "Thank you. You will make a great leader." Riley watched on as they shook hands. Luna Marigold and Penelope stood on the opposite side of Alpha Forrester, avoiding any glances at them. Next to them stood Alpha Zach and the twins. Hopefully, things wouldn't get awkward for the rest of their stay. The black SUVs pulled up, and out came Ethan wearing a well tailored blue suit. He looked handsome. Eli walked up and shook his hands and gave him a hug. Riley followed suit. "It's great to have you here, Ethan." "I see you two marked each other. Good thing I'm only here for my father and our packs safety. Otherwise, we have no other bu
The morning light shines in through the crack in the dark green curtains that cover the bay window in Riley's room. It stirs Riley from her deep sleep, where she lays on her stomach on top of her queen size bed with her duvet tossed to the foot of the bed in a heaping mess. Her long, brown, naturally wavy hair flows in different directions as she peeks and shields her eyes from the sun. She had been dreaming of her 20th birthday that was coming up, which would signify her spot in the pack, and the first time she were to shift. "Riley! It's time to get up! We leave in 20 minutes," her dad yells at her door as he walks down the hall to start breakfast. Riley groans as she rolls onto her back. Today is Valentines Day, the day of love, and another reminder that she just broke up with her ex Nathan about 2 months ago. So, there is no love for her in the relationship department at the moment. However, she still crafted a couple of Valentines Day cards for her best friends, Lily and Ol
At lunch, Riley rushed into the cafeteria, ready to tell Lily the news of her upcoming date with Ethan. She didn't care to tell Ollie because she knew it would only break his heart. That was something she wasn't ready to do, especially since it was only a first date. However, as soon as she opened the doors and looked around, she saw Lily and Ollie sitting at their table, and it looked as though Ollie was upset. They both sensed Riley and looked over. Ollie immediately looked mad and then disappointed, while Lily just shook her head and mouthed, not now but can't wait to talk later. Usually, they would be able to mind the link, but since they haven't gotten their wolves yet, that wasn't the case. So Riley walked over to the lunch line to grab her food. Once Riley paid and went to sit with Lily, Ollie was gone. "I guess you guys heard the news? Why can't anything remain private instead of public news?" Riley already knew the answer. "I can't believe you agreed to go on a date w
The past week flew by quickly. Riley kept her head down and worked hard on her studies. Dad agreed to her going out tonight as long as she kept focused. She had to let him know who she was going out with because word got out quickly about her date with Ethan last week. If she didn't tell dad about it, he probably would have heard from someone at the office. He was excited for her, though. Dates with a future leader and the possible life it could mean for her if they were meant for each other. There was still always doubt in Rileys mind, though, but why not have some fun while she still could. All week long, she hardly had time to hang out with Lily and Ollie. She felt bad, but Ethan kept catching her at any spare time he had. Before school, in between classes, lunch, and all they did was talk. She couldn't believe the connection they had straight away and how much in common they had. She hadn't felt a crush like this in a long time. Every time he would brush his hand against her th
"Oh shit, sorry, lil bro. Do you have company under you there," Eli winked as he looked at his brother, who was shirtless and panting. "Fuck Eli, get out!" Ethan yelled out. Watching as Eli started to make his way closer. Riley covered her breasts with her hands while blushing and trying to sink into the couch while hoping Eli didn't walk any closer. This was not the way she wanted to meet the rest of Ethan's family. Eli held his hands up in the air and said, "Fine, fine, take away all the fun of letting your big brother have a peak of whatever delicious little creature you have down there." Eli sniffed the air. Whoever she was, she smelt fantastic. He had never smelt something so good before. The air smelled of sea salt and coconuts, like he just took a tropical trip to a far away island. His wolf stirred and didn't want to leave, but Eli needed to give his brother some space to finish up. He would get a chance to meet his little brother's new play thing eventually. Ethan n

Riley and Eli finished showering and continued to get dressed. "Don't think we're done, Luna," Eli said with a smirk. "We are for now unless you plan to disrespect our hosts by being late," Riley said with a giggle. "I wouldn't dream of it." "What did Alpha Forrester have to say that pulled you away from me?" "Oh, nothing. He just wanted to debrief me on the attacks." "Well, what did he say? We are supposed to work as a team, plus I have some intel that may be of value." "Oh, do you now?" Eli said as he strode across the room to hug Riley from behind as she stood in front of the mirror, "Have I told you how beautiful and perfect you are?" "Thank you," she said with a blush, "But I'm being serious. We should speak before any more private meetings." "I promise," Eli said as he kissed Rileys neck. Coming close to her marking spot, causing her to become aroused once again. "You better stop, I won't be able to contain myself." "I can smell just how much you want me."
Riley woke up and got ready. She threw on a pair of dark blue denim jeans with a white tank top and a black blazer with a pair of black heels. She wanted to look more business casual. She threw her hair up in a sleek ponytail and applied minimal makeup. She looked in the mirror. This was it. This was her first assignment. She felt she looked the part. Hopefully, she wouldn't fall too behind in her end of year assignments. However, she was sure she could work online from the other pack. Riley then grabbed her bags and headed to the pack house. Once Riley arrived, she was greeted by the Alpha and a bunch of their guards. There was a row of 4 black SUVs parked out front already loading bags and supplies. "Where's Eli? Will he not be joining?" "Oh, he is. He's notoriously late. I'm sure that's something you can fix." "I will definitely work on it." "Just don't let his bad habits rub off on you," Alpha Roland laughed. At that moment, Eli came strutting down the path from the
"Ollie, what's happened to you?" "This is what happens when a man loses his wolf." "There's plenty of people without wolves, and they make out just fine." "You mean humans? Ha, that's pathetic. I'm supposed to just go live amongst them when all my life, all I've known, is a pack?" "Why not? It could be a fresh start." "Riley, why are you here?" "Can't a friend come visit you?" "I thought we weren't friends for a while now." "Only because of the way you had changed." "You have to know that wasn't me. I swear it. I was under some kind of mind control. Riley, I'm sorry!" "Who had you under control?" "It was the Rogue King and his witches. They focused more on masking where we were, but every so often, when I didn't do what they asked, they messed with my mind. The Rogue King has no power." "How do you know he has no powers?" "He would have you. He's got nothing. Unless you are a part of his pack, then he can mindlink and use his Alpha control. Otherwise, there's
Ava wiggled out from Thorn, Eli's wolf, and stretched herself awake. Their wolves played like puppies last night, and it felt so good not to have any worries. However, she couldn't help but feel there would be repercussions from last night's revelations. "Come back and keep me warm," Thorn said through their mindlink. "We have to get back. There are some things Riley would like to take care of before we leave." "Fine, but the next two weeks, you're all mine," Thorn said with a hint of a promise. Thorn got up and stretched, and then they both ran back to the packhouse. They shifted and put on some of the spare clothing in the shed they keep for emergencies. "I'll go back to the beach and grab our stuff that we hid away," Eli said as he finished getting dressed. "Great! Thanks. I'm going to go see if I can find your father. I have something I need to ask him." "You could always ask me, I am going to be taking over soon." "It's okay. It's actually a private matter rega
It was 6 PM, and there was a knock at Rileys door. It had to be Lily. She rushed over as there was so much she needed to unload. She was holding onto too much and was finally ready to share some of the details with someone other than the Alpha or Eli. The shock of yesterday's news was unnerving, and she hadn't even spoken to Eli as he walked her home. She left him standing in the hallway as she entered her room last night. She sensed him out there for hours until she fell asleep when he must have gone home. Now, now she could share with Lily the important things. "Lily! I'm so glad you're here." "Good thing I am because if you were thinking of going in that outfit, girl, you need all the help you could use." "Lily!" "I'm just kidding. Anyway, I brought pizza and predrinks. Hope you're ready to party!" "Before we get started, I was hoping we could talk a little first." "Sure, what about. You know you can always talk to me." "I know, this has just been really difficult to come to
