#Chapter78'"Well, if my mate had been as big a douchebag as yours is, I would have completely lost my mind because of jealousy."'******"Tell me one thing." I said and tugged on Harper's hand so that he would slow down on his way to the pack meeting."What?" He said absentmindedly and pulled my body close to his own."You told me last night that when we will accept each other as mates, the energy will let us feel the joy of every wolf in the pack and that they will know too, that their pack has got their future Luna." Harper nodded and I took a deep breath before speaking again. "So, they already know that you have accepted someone as their mate. Won't they put two and two together when they see me with you, after they clearly felt the energy last night?""You know, you worry too much." Harper chuckled and I pouted at him playfully. "Of course, they will think something is amiss when they will see me being with you after last night. But they won't blatantly question i
#Chapter79Harper tugged on my hand and led me to the front of the hall, towards the stage. I saw Eva gracefully sitting on one of the chairs beside a couple who I had not yet been introduced to."That's Aiden's parents, the Beta couple." Harper pointed towards the couple. As if they could feel my on them, their heads turned to look at me. I blushed under their gaze but they smiled and bowed their heads a little. I don't think I would ever be able to get used to people bowing, nevertheless I hastily bowed my head in return.Just then, I saw Aiden walking through the crowd. People made way for him and bowed their heads. I had now realised that they had done the same for Harper but I was too embarrassed to take note of it."You don't need to bow to anyone, Zara." Aiden smiled at me and hugged me. I hugged him back immediately. "I don't think I will ever get used to all this." I waved my hand around the hall. "No wonder both of your heads are so up your asses." Both of the
#Chapter80'"I don't think Sebastian's warmed up to me yet."'******I have no idea why I didn't notice this before, but now that I did, it was hard to ignore. The back side of the pack house conveniently faced the woods, which made it easier for werewolves to shift and go for a run.After I stood awkwardly on the stage throughout the announcement, Harper whispered in my ear that every wolf will now take part in a celebratory hunt.My eyes widened at the word hunt but Harper just chuckled at my response. "We just hunt down three deers as a pack to show our unity and those same deers will be enjoyed in the dinner. Nothing brutal."Nothing brutal? They planned to hunt down three deers in the wild, together as a pack, as a celebration and Harper said that it wasn't brutal. I clearly still had a long way to go before I accepted the werewolf world wholly.Hundreds of wolves transformed in front of me and I was awed by the sight. The sounds of bone snapping filled the air
#Chapter81'"Has Harper ever let you touch his car?"'******"Ugh! These cramps are going to kill me." Samantha groaned and I chuckled at her expression. Immediately a wave of unease washed over me. I had begun to understand how these "Luna powers" worked during these past three days. The closer I was to a person, the more clearly I was able to gauge their mood shifts and emotions.These waves of uneasiness somehow always intensified whenever I was around Aiden. I looked around to see him and Harper, holding a tray and making their way over to our table.It had been three days since the surprise announcement and it felt like my world had changed a little. Every wolf in the pack had begun to accept me as their Luna, even though I was a human and that elated me and brought an inner satisfaction to my soul. Aiden's uneasiness was making me uneasy and fidgety and I had been thinking upon ways to fix it. Look at me, already acting like a Luna!Harper sat beside me an
#Chapter82'"You know, all this will be for nothing if Cory turns out to be Aiden's mate."'******I picked up my phone to check the time. Even though Aiden has done it before, I was still nervous. I had no doubt he would be able to do it, I wondered what would happen if my father found him sleeping in my room.A boy sleeping in my room. One who wasn't even my boyfriend, not that that would have made any difference. But even as I repeat those words in my head, they sound really bad.Aiden was so damn worried his mate was going to reject him. I honestly thought he was being overdramatic but somewhere I could see where he was coming from. Does that even make sense?He was worried that his playboy past would hurt his mate and would force her to reject him. In all honesty, his reason was completely practical. Didn't I hate Harper before, because of his playboy ways. The number of girls and women he has slept with still unnerved me. It would probably take us a really long ti
#Chapter83'"Oh god! That means I will be fifth wheeling now, if that's even a thing!"'******I could feel the energy between the newly found mates in the room and I hoped everyone could too, otherwise I was just going crazy. And I didn't fancy that prospect.I was oblivious to everyone else in the room except Aiden. I didn't even pay any mind to the phone in my hand which had pinged thrice, signalling texts from Harper.I think another reason as to why I was so fascinated with Aiden finding his mate had something to do with the way I had come to find about mine. I knew that me and Harper didn't actually have a good start and so I was really anticipating how two mates actually treated each other when they found out about their significant halves. Did they jump into each other's arms and made love till either of them loses their breath? Or was acceptance between certain mates a slow process mixed with a lot of drama and empty promises?My eyes met Natalie's and each of
#Chapter84'HIS BETA'S PARTY (Are you guys excited for this Chapter or what? )'******Okay, I know I have made many mistakes when it comes to my mate but I like to believe that I have been making up for them. Slowly, but surely.Although every werewolf would argue that their mate is the best in the world, I think I won the lottery in the department. I couldn't have gotten a better mate, one who understood me perfectly and was caring enough to share her heart with other people as well. She would definitely be a really capable Luna, she won't believe it when I tell her that.Me and Aiden always talked about finding mates, as unbelievable as that sounds. As children, we wondered if the unconditional love mates shared was in any form true. Look at us now. I was completely smitten by Zara and the pack was celebrating Aiden finding his mate. He was on the same road as me, he was going to fall and he was going to fall fast and he is definitely going to love every minute, eve
#Chapter85I grabbed her hand and led her through the masses of drunken wolves. She came willingly, both of us too aroused to even notice other people who were watching us with knowing grins. She squeezed my hand and I felt warmth flood in my body.I guided her upstairs, ignoring all the other rooms till I reached my own. I turned the knob around and the door opened welcoming us into the privacy of my room. I had never seemed it necessary to lock my room, everyone knew whose room it was, thus preventing people from venturing inside.As soon as the door closed, my wolf made an appearance and her with my lips. I caged her between the wooden door and my body, making us hot and bothered. She moaned at my roughness which left me panting.I snaked one of my arms around her waist and pulled her flush against my body. My other hand went through her, holding her head close to me. Tingles and fireworks erupted in my body and I grunted as I felt her whimper when my palm came in contac
