Thomas's POV Slamming my glass down on the bar, I gesture for the bartender to bring me another glass of whiskey. It takes a lot of alcohol for a werewolf to get drunk but I am definitely well on my way. The bartender brings me another glass of whiskey and I down the glass all in one shot. "Alpha, if I may," the bartender, Ben, leans in close. "It isn't healthy to try and drown your sorrows in alcohol." "Mind your business," I growl at Ben and he raises his hands in defeat. "Get me another drink." "Do you want to talk about it?" Ben asks me with a concerned look on his face. "No," I lie. The truth is that I do need to talk about it, I need to vent to someone about the mess that is my life. When I decided to bring Mia into my life as a contracted mate, I never thought that I would develop feelings for her. No, I don't have feelings for her. I am just attracted to her and I am only attracted to her because of the slight resemblance she bears to my late mate. My sweet
Mia's POV Curled up in bed, I flip through the channels on the TV. Back at the Moonshadow Pack I never had the time to watch TV. I was always cleaning the floors or the rooms of the pack house. Thomas has more channels and streaming services than any one person needs. But I feel like with this many channels and services there should be something to take my mind off of earlier today but there is nothing I want to watch. There is nothing interesting to take my mind off the humiliation that I suffered. I settle on a romance movie. It is finally getting to the part where the two lovers realize that they have been in love this whole time when a loud banging interrupts my movie. Getting up from the bed, I walk over to the door and flip the lock. As soon as I unlock the bedroom door, it swings open and Dylan falls into the room with Thomas wrapped around his shoulders. I jump back before they have the opportunity to knock me over. "What is going on?" I say as I watch Dylan try to un
Mia's POV With his hand wrapped firmly around my wrist and the plea for me to stay on his lips, it makes it hard to turn him down. I step into the shower with Thomas's t-shirt still on. The water immediately begins to soak through the white fibers of the shirt and I am instantly aware that it is becoming see-through. Shoving my embarrassment to the back of my mind, I grab the single loofa that is hanging on the shower wall and begin to lather it up with body wash. "Spin around," I command him and he pushes his lip out in a seductive pout as he turns around. Bracing himself up against the wall of the shower with his hands, I stifle a giggle. He looks like he is about to be frisked. I run the loofa over his muscular back, down his sides, and over the middle of his back, stopping just above his tight buttocks. Thomas groans in satisfaction as I continue to scrub his back. Once I am finished with his back he spins back around and I can see that his cock is now fully hard. S
Mia's POV "It is customary for there to be a Luna ceremony when a new Luna comes into the pack," Thomas says as he chases me into the closet. I rummage through the clothes that I hastily picked up at the local mall. "I don't want a Luna ceremony," I whine as I slip a black dress over my head. "It is tradition," Thomas crosses his arms over his chest and leans against the doorway blocking my only exit. Peeking around Thomas, I make sure that there is no one standing behind him. "I will only be here for a year," I say in a hushed voice. Pinching the bridge of his nose, Thomas lets out a frustrated groan. "The elders don't know that," he hisses back at me. "Remember you promised to put on a good show." "And I have been putting on a good show," I stomp my foot in protest. "I have been the perfect Luna. I have been planning events and going to meetings. I have only been here for a month and I am already the head of several committees. I hang on to your every word when we a
Cora's POV "Daddy," I whine. "It has been a month. You said that he would be sick of her by now." Crossing my arms over my chest, I push my bottom lip out in a full pout that I know my father won't be able to resist. "I don't know what you want me to do about it," my father huffs. "I cannot force him to kick her out of his pack." "Daddy," I pout. "I gave up my mate for Alpha Thomas. Now I am mate-less. I will be an old maid." "You are eighteen years old. Stop being so dramatic." My mother's voice chimes in from behind me. "How dare you?" I spin around and face my mother. "This is all your fault. I could be the Luna of the Light Moon Pack right now." "Well," my mother sighs as she tosses a thick envelope on my father's desk. "It appears that we are going to have to find a new Alpha for you." "What is that?" I screech as I point to the envelope. My father carefully opens the envelope and peeks inside. "The little whore is better than I thought." "What
Mia's POV I am overwhelmed. As soon as I step into the Great Hall there are throngs of pack members throwing themselves at me. All of them with the most pleasant things to say. All of the attention and compliments are not something that I am used to. In the Moonshadow Pack if anyone so much as made eye contact with me they would rush off in the other direction. No one would dare to approach me or compliment me. I scan the crowd, looking for anyone that I might know and my eyes land on Thomas. His hazel eyes are studying me with great curiosity. He looks sharp in his black tuxedo with a green tie that matches my dress. There is no doubt in my mind that Luna Renee had a hand in planning tonight's festivities. I will have to remind her how much I hate surprises. Thomas continues to watch my every move. Even when my back is turned to him, I can feel his eyes on me. My first instinct was to run to him and hide from the people that wish to talk to me but I promised to play the part
Thomas's POV Chaos ensues in the Great Hall. My pack members are running from exit to exit looking for a safe way out of the Hall. My warriors begin to take down the rogues one by one. I move to jump off the stage to join the fray but a tug on the back of my tuxedo jacket reminds me I am leaving my mate alone to fend for herself. "Thomas," she whimpers. Her eyes are large with fear. "What do I do?" Grabbing her by the shoulders, I give her a little shake. "You have to fight," I tell her. I try to make my way off the stage but Mia pulls me back again. "I can't fight," she tells me. "Now is not the time to doubt yourself," I tell her in a hurried voice. "We have got to protect our pack." "I don't have a wolf," Mia says through gritted teeth. "I don't know how to fight." "Fuck," I growl. "I thought that was just a rumor." The snarls around us are growling louder and I need to get into the fight, but Mia is looking at me with her eyes full of tears and I am torn. At this
Mia's POV Hide. I have to hide. While my pack members are out there dying for me, I am hiding underneath the stage like a coward. Technically, they aren't my pack members yet. They were supposed to be after tonight. I was going to merge my blood with Thomas's and officially become a member of the Red Moon Pack. Instead, I am hiding from a horde of rogues that have crashed my Luna Ceremony. I peek through one of the cracks in the stage and all I can see is carnage. Thomas has shifted into his massive black wolf and is surrounded by rogues. One by one they lunge at him. Biting at his legs but Thomas's wolf doesn't seem to notice. Not until a small rogue latches onto his back leg and refuses to let go. As I watch the violence unfold in front of me from my hiding space, I hear someone whisper my name. Glancing to my right I see a hot pink dress crawling under the stage to hide with me. "Shouldn't you be out there protecting your pack?" Cora sneers as she pushes me out of the wa
