*BRIANNE’S POV*As I walked away from Harriet, I couldn’t shake off the feeling of empathy towards her. She had been through so much, and yet, she still managed to be kind and caring toward others.I couldn’t help but wonder what crime she had been falsely accused of, and how she had ended up in the silver-black pack.But as I approached Jordyn’s office, my mind began to wander to my own situation.If I were to mate with Jordyn, I would become the Luna of the silver-black pack. The thoughts sent shivers down my spine. I wasn’t ready for that kind of responsibility, that kind of power. I was still trying to wrap my head around being a wolfless wolf, let alone a Luna.I stood outside Jordyn’s office, my heart racing with anticipation. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door, but there was no response.I wondered if he was always like that, not responding to knocks on the door.I summoned the courage and pushed open the door. Alpha Jordyn was sitting at his desk, his eyes fixed inte
*BRIANNE’S POV*“Ah,” a voice exclaimed. “I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to interrupt!”I shot my head back to see a flustered-looking Janette standing in the doorway, her hand covering her mouth in surprise.Jordyn’s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze flicking to Janette before returning to me.“How many times have I told you to knock before entering?” He questioned, his eyes cold.Janette’s eyes darted back and forth between us, her face flushed with embarrassment. “I…I was just looking for Josh. I didn’t mean to interrupt anything.” She said.Jordyn’s hands dropped from my face and he stepped back, his expression neutral. “It’s fine. We were just…talking.”I turned to her. “Don’t worry Janette, I was just about to leave,” I said.Her eyes lingered on us for a moment before she nodded. “Why don’t we leave together?” She said before she backed out of the room, closing the door behind her.Jordyn turned to me, feeling disappointed by the interruption. I nodded slightly at him before turnin
*JORDYN’S POV*I sat in my office chair, feeling dazed and bewildered. My mind was spinning from the revelation that I finally found my mate. It was a feeling that I never thought I’d experience, and yet, here I was, enjoying the warmth of this newfound connection.My mind drifted back to the day at my hideout, the first day she kissed me. I remembered it like it was yesterday. She had been trying to calm me down, but I hadn’t expected her to use a kiss to do so. But it worked like a charm. I felt my tension melt away.But now, as I reflected on that moment, I wondered if she had already suspected that she was my mate.She’s smart, intuitive, and perspective, so it was definitely so.Maybe she had picked up on the little cues, the unspoken signal that only a mate can sense.The sudden push in the door pulled me out of my thoughts.Josh walked into my office with a look of concern etched on his face. But as he approached my desk, his expression suddenly transformed, and a soft, goofy g
*BRIANNE’S POV*We all stood in lines, waiting for the announcement to be made.The training instructor had said there was going to be an announcement, but we’d been waiting for almost an hour and nobody was making the announcement. The sun was beating down on us, making the wait even more unbearable. I could feel the sweat trickling down my back, and my legs were starting to ache from standing for too long.To make matters worse, the instructor was pacing back and forth, muttering to himself, and glancing at her watch every few seconds. It was like she was waiting for something or someone, and it was making me nervous.I looked around at the others, trying to gauge their reactions. Some were chatting quietly, while others were checking their phones or gazing off into space. But we all shared one thing in common: we were all getting restless.“Come on, already!” Someone muttered behind me. “What’s taking so long?”“I know right?” Someone else replied. “I’ve got better things to do tha
*BRIANNE’S POV*Jordyn’s eyes seemed to gleam with a fierce light as if he could see the potential for chaos and excitement that the new rule would unleash.“This means you’ll have to be strategic, clever, and ruthless,” He continued. “You’ll need to use every trick in the book to outmaneuver your opponents.”The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, their faces illuminating with excitement.‘This is going to be interesting’“That would be all,” Jordyn said, his voice firm and authoritative, before turning to leave. The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, their faces gleaming with the sheer excitement that came with the announcement.As Jordyn walked away, I noticed him speaking with the instructor, with a serious expression on his face.The instructor nodded, her eyes sparkling with understanding, before Jordyn finally turned and left the arena with the other two guys.“Alright, everyone, listen up,” The instructor commanded. The crowd quieted down and all attention was on her.
*BRIANNE’S POV*I looked at my mother, trying to decipher her expression. Her eyes seemed to hold a hint of curiosity, but also a warmth that made me feel like she was trying to protect me. I was about to ask her what was really going on when Mary walked in, her bright smile and bubbly energy immediately filling the room.“Hi, girl!” Mary exclaimed, her eyes locking onto mine with excitement. “I’ve missed you so much!”My mother turned to her with a smile, her expression softening. “Hi, Mary. It’s been a while since you came over.”Mary bounced over to my mother, giving her a warm hug. “I know, Mrs. Preston. I’ve been so busy with school and stuff. But I promised Brianne I’d come over so we can both get ready for the full moon ceremony together.” Mary’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she pulled back from the hug.My mother’s eyes crinkled at the corners as she smiled. “Well, I’m glad you could make it. We’ve got dinner almost ready.” She said.Mary’s eyes lit up. “Ooh great! I’m sta
*BRIANNE’S POV*My gaze dropped to Mary, who was watching me with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty. She blinked a few times, her eyes darting back and forth as if looking for something to say, but she remained silent.I turned and walked away, my feet heavy on the stairs as I stormed upstairs. I could feel their eyes on me, boring into my back like daggers. But I didn’t look back. I didn’t care what they thought. I was done.I reached my room and slammed the door behind me, the sound echoing through the hallway like a Declaration of Independence.I jumped on my bed, my mind drifting to Jordyn. He says he likes me and I really like him too. How much harm can he cause me? I thought to myself, my mind wandering to all the possibilities.Just as I was getting lost in my thoughts, I heard a knock on the door, disrupting my reverie. I knew it was Mary.She pushed the door and walked into the room.“Bri,” She called out as she walked towards my bed, her voice gentle.“I don’t wanna hear
*BRIANNE’S POV*I slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surroundings. Suddenly, I was met with Mary’s face inches away from mine, her bright blue eyes sparkling with excitement. I gasped, startled, and my heart skipped a beat.“Shit, Mary! What are you doing?” I exclaimed, my voice husky from sleep.Mary giggled sheepishly, her face flushing pink. “Aren’t you going to get up, sleepyhead? Don’t forget we have an event to prepare for.” She said, her voice bubbling with enthusiasm.I sighed and rolled my eyes, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. “I know today is the full moon ceremony, but you don’t have to wake me up like that. Did you even get any sleep?” I asked her, my voice tinged with amusement.Mary nodded vigorously, her ponytail bouncing with the motion. “Yeah, I got a few hours. But I’m so excited for today! It’s going to be amazing,” She said, her eyes wide with anticipation.I chuckled and sat up, stretching my arms above my head. “You’re always energetic in the mornings.
