Mercedes runs out of the building with Saphira's hand still in hers. The women suddenly come face to face with two men running towards them.

Mercedes now lets go of Saphira's hand and runs towards the man with the sky-blue eyes. His long blond-brown locks flutter behind him as he comes closer to her, finally catching his mate with open arms. She clings tightly to him, her body absorbing his warmth like a sponge with water. Their lips stick to each other in desperation until they become breathless. “Mercedes,” Alpha Zane clamors, his forehead against hers as he holds her high in his arms. “Little Luna, I was so worried about you. I felt your moods change but knew you weren't in any danger, that it wasn't something you couldn't handle on your own," he whispers to her. "Did everything go well, cupido?" he teases.

Mercedes now turns to Saphira. Her friend has stopped at a distance and is staring at Jace, standing frozen, looking back at her. Slowly Zane slides his mate against his body, b

    In the other apartment“Jace, let me explain this. Mercedes really brought me to my senses. I'm sorry…”.Before Saphira can finish her pleading, the bathroom door slams shut, cutting her off from her mate. Jace passed her and retreated to the bathroom without even giving her one look. Startled, she stares at the closed door, she can't believe Jace is treating her so coldly. This isn’t the man she had so passionately made love to days ago, who had confessed his deep devotion to her and promised to protect her always. Tears sting her eyes, the feeling of rejection is so painful that she collapses on the floor. The regret of her actions makes her sob, her body shaking with fear of losing her mate forever. When Jace comes out of the bathroom, he is completely dressed in sportswear. He ignores the woman sitting full of misery on the floor, takes his bag and keeps it in the walk-in closet.He then walks out of the apartment to the resort's terrace where he takes a seat at one of the tables

    Beta Jace's POV “Seriously, Saphira? What was I supposed to do when you abandoned me, left me alone in the pack without a word, an explanation of where you were going and why?” I bite at her.My chest squeezes painfully at the pained look in her eyes. But I must stand strong, Saphira is a woman of great willpower, and one wrong word from me and I will lose her forever. “When you snuck out of Midnight Moon, didn't you think for one moment you had a mate too? Don't come here acting to be a martyr. If you don't want me anymore, I have the right to find another mate," I tell her sternly. “You are not going to imprison me invisibly from a distance. I have a right to love. And if you're not willing to give it to me, I'm free to look for it elsewhere."My words seem to make her more furious, her eyes are now spitting fire.“You are entitled to nothing! I'm warning you, Jace. Please, do not underestimate me. You won't run off with any other woman," she spells to my face. No she-wolf would da

    This girl wants to kill me!Tell you! Parading in front of everyone's eyes in three pieces of cloth she calls a bikini is beyond words. Even my wolf protested the sight of our naked mate in public. Mercedes and Zane are standing next to us, grinning broadly. My reaction doesn't seem like a shock to them.“What do you think you are doing, Saphira?” I respond furiously, with my hands at my sides. “If you need attention, ask me. But don't try to lure other men with this thing you call a bikini." To my surprise, I see a satisfied look in Saphira's eyes. Did she intentionally provoke my reaction? "I hope you've brought enough clothes with you now that you've generously given your sweater to me," responds laconically. “It probably won't be functional when I'm done with it.” With that, she turns and walks towards the lake.I look at her with gritted teeth. Her mood has completely turned, what is she up to now? I turn my eyes back to Zane and his mate. “What does she think she

    Still Beta Jace's POV We are now driving to a club that one of our new friends had previously recommended. When we arrived, there was such a long line that we were thinking about leaving for another place. But then we see Alpha Rainer walking towards us with a smile on his face. Telling you, I don't like this man. The way he peeks at Mercedes, like an eagle lurking at his prey, fills me with horror. The man does not take into account that Mercedes is in the company of her mate and that his behavior could provoke a fight between Alphas. And the little Luna instinctively feels that she should stay away from him, I notice she holds Zane tighter when that Alpha Rainer is around. “Hey, if those aren't my precious guests,” he declares cheerfully. “Are you going in too?” I decide to answer for Zane. “We want to, but the line is really too long. This club seems to be very popular.” The Alpha nods, clearly in a good mood. "Come with me. As my guests, you are entitled to a VIP treatment”. He

    “Mercedes, Alpha's son Glary is still in prison. What would you like me to do to him as punishment? In the end, it was you he wanted to hurt”, Alpha Rainer asks to my dismay. I can sense where this is going. I deliberately didn't tell Zane about this. I don't want any friction between my mate and my pack. We just have to put up with it but as soon as I'm eighteen, the stress is over.Because I'm really getting fed up with all those men, I have to beat them off. Their interest in me is irritating, I don't appreciate their behavior. Zane's love is all I desire, I wonder if all those guys aren't staring at me just jealous of him. It's not that they really want me as a woman, but more of robbing my mate of the love I have for him. Won't work, there's no one I want but Zane.

And we're fated, the proof was there long before my birthday.When we get to the packhouse, we head to my in-laws first.

    Mercedes' POVI can't believe what Zane just told me.And why do I get the feeling like he's known this for a long time? But the way he told me, he seemed unsure of my reaction to all this. Yes, it’s true, we planned to have pups later. We wanted to do the things that couples our age do first. Because once we had pups, we would dedicate our entire lives to them, raising them to be responsible and honest leaders. That was our plan.But Zane is right. It is the Moon Goddess who approved our plans. But she has put a different twist on our plans. Because Zane indicated that we wouldn't get only one but several pups at once. That is totally not what we imagined but to me, they are so welcome. I want to make them all look like Zane, physically as well as mentally. My sons will be just as perfect as my mate.I have him in a firm embrace now. Slowly I hear his heart calm down. “Zane, why should it be your fault alone?

First, they received me full of happiness and then I was resolutely kicked out to go tell my mate the excellent news, under threat too.As soon as I opened the topic and released the news, cheers erupted, my mother cried with happiness. My father quickly wiped away a tear too, while Elise kept her mouth wide open in awe. They embraced with joy, opened an expensive wine and we clinked glasses.But the moment I indicated that Mercedes did not know her condition, there was immediate silence. "How so, she doesn't know?" my mother asked in stupefaction. “And how come you know?” Elise also looked at me, incredulous. "And now that you know, why do you want to keep it a secret?" she asked me as if she had just heard I have a mental di

    When I wake up late the next afternoon, Mercedes is still asleep in my arms.I look at her black locks scattered all over my arm and shoulders and her relaxed face. She lies so peacefully, snoring from her slightly open lips. Her legs are entwined with mine, an old trick of her to wake up as soon as I move. In the past, when I visited her in her pack, she always had a problem with me sneaking away while she was still asleep.But not today. I know she's dead tired.After the failed shift in Shadow Moon and the celebration of our mating with the warriors, we drove straight through the night to Midnight Moon. Of course, there was an interruption in Human Town at the Drive Thru. And when we finally got here in the early morning hours, there was another late meal with the Elders, followed by our intense lovemaking. My Luna is now exhausted, I want to let her sleep through.

    When we arrive at Midnight Moon we are surprised to see the pack members waiting. A horde of wolves lets out a loud roar of joy when the car comes to a standstill.When Mercedes gets out, a loud cheer goes through the group, flowers are thrown at her. “Welcome, Luna Mercedes. Now stay forever. You can't go back, you belong to Midnight Moon now”, they scream at once. The five Elders of the pack step forward and bow their heads. They are clearly delighted to see my mate.“Luna Mercedes. The Alpha informed us you're still tired, so we're moving your ceremony to tomorrow night. We will adjust the part where you are supposed to shift. Don't worry about that," the Head of Elders declares. I look at him gratefully, this is more than I expected. Mercedes is the absolute princess of my pack and heart. “Thank you, Elder”, I hear her say softly with equal joy. “I'm looking forward to that.

    Happily, I stare at my mate.How did this possibility not cross my mind? This must have happened that day in the cabin in the woods. When we made love there, I already had a different feeling, felt more connected to Mercedes. Before I met her, I had some flings with she-wolves outside my pack, but I've never knotted them. Mercedes is clearly my mate, determined by the Moon Goddess. She alone could get my body to react like that.I keep staring at her in love, unable to explain my behavior to her. It is impossible for me to tell her in front of everyone that in a few months, we will have not one but several pups. Several, not just one. Moon Goddess! One must be a girl who looks exactly like her mother, that is my dearest wish.I keep staring at her dreamily."MATE! Is this the first time you see me?
