I stood at a tree, out of view of the tent silently crying. The image of David kissing his mate burned into my brain. Skylah had gone silent and disappeared. Before she left I could feel her sadness. I was tempted to shift and run home, leaving quietly without a trace. After all, I hadn't officially made an entrance, so few would have realised I showed up at all. With Skylah hiding, however, I wouldn't be able to shift. I didn't have the energy to try and convince her to resurface.
"Fiona?" Called a voice growing closer.
"What?" I snapped at Alpha Cyrus as he approached. Without a word, he pulled me into a hug. At first, I stood there rigid, but he held on tight. After a moment my muscles started

*Fiona*Instead of heading for the dance floor, as I originally planned, I turned to go outside. I didn't make it very far, however. I blame my stupid heals, making it hard to run. Cyrus wrapped his arms around my waist and lifted me up."No fair" I pouted sticking out my lower lip as Cyrus turned me to face him. His face was unreadable, eyes dark. I swallowed hard. Before I could speak Cyrus kissed me. His lips were hard and demanding, at first at least. The kiss was different from anything I had ever felt before. I melted into the moment, placing a hand on Cyrus' neck giving into the kiss and returning it. His lips softened as he pulled me closer. I could feel a fire in my stomach growing. His lips had been the match to the kindling inside of me. Then it was over.

*Cyrus*The next morning I woke up with a small headache, but as I went to wake Dante up, I realized I faired pretty well comparatively. He lay sprawled out in his bed groaning his head was being crushed. I laughed, as the image of Dante attempting to climb on the tables to dance reappeared in my brain."It was a wild night for you," I commented, "how much of it do you remember?""Uh, Fiona came back to join the drinking game," he said "Then it's pretty blurry.""Nothing about dancing on tables?" I teased. Dante groaned again."I remember you and Fiona were getting quite cozy." he said "Did you finally break through her icy exterior?""I hope so," I said as contemplated the events of last night "She was really pretty broken up about not being David's mate."

*Fiona*I woke up with my head killing me, a sign that I indeed had too much to drink the night before. I groaned as I rolled over to find some pain medication with a water bottle next to my bed. There was also a note from Beta Ned, telling me to rest, as he would take over my duties for today. At least I had some time to get through my hangover and process last night. I took the pills and downed my water in one go. Sitting up, I realized I must have fallen asleep the moment I got back into my room. I was still wearing my dress and my pillow was covered in make-up. A shower was exactly what I needed. One of the perks of being an Alpha is definitely having an over the top bathroom. The room itself was spacious, with heated flooring to make the room comfortable year-round. I walked into my shower, which was big enough to hold at least four people with room to move around.

*Fiona*I barely made it to the packhouse door, when a body came flying at me encompassing me in a hug."Finn..." squealed the girl. Anna was always in a good mood. She made her sunshine wherever she went, making it easy to be her friend. She broke the hug and spoke very seriously, still smiling. "Now I've already gone and told my brother off. The jerk.""He could have handled it better, but it's not his fault," I said not wanting to talk about it. "clearly the moon goddess has other plans.""Please, what good are plans that don't involve us being sisters?" She said putting her arm around me. I laughed at her comment. I had always admired her charisma and ability to talk her way into any situation.&nb

*Fiona* Arriving back at the packhouse after dark, I was glad I took the day to hang out with Anna and Liz. I felt like a normal person and not an Alpha, which was a nice change. There wasn't much talk about Cyrus, other than Anna deciding what outfit she wanted to wear to impress him. She chose a body-con white dress and a white cropped jean jacket to dress it down. She went heavy on some jewellery as well. She looked good, I could see quite a few males checking her out in the mall.She had insisted on picking out outfits for Liz and me as well. For Liz, she chose a sundress that brought out her feminine side. She had picked it after Liz talked a bit about the werewolf she had been flirting with at the party. She had gotten his number and Anna gave her statement to his character. Anna wanted her to have the perfect first date outf

*Fiona*Rachel was at the hostess stand when we entered the restaurant. Her eyes went wide, clearly remembering my foul mood from yesterday when I crushed my phone."A-a-alpha Fin" she stuttered "We weren't expecting you.""Last minute decision to celebrate Anna's birthday,'' I said smiling to reassure her "our usual spot will do if it's availble""Of course, right away, will Alpha David be joining us as well." She asked as she signalled someone to prepare our table."Not today," I said plastering on a fake smile. "No doubt he'll be spending the day getting to know his mate." Rachel yipped, surprised by the news, but said nothing. I

*Fiona* I turned towards the stranger, as the other left. He wore a dark designer suit with a long suit jacket. His hair was neatly trimmed and his skin was unearthly pale. His black eyes watched me unwavering, most would find it unnerving. I steeled myself for the conversation about to unfold, knowing it would only bring bad news. "I have a phone, you know," I said approaching the man. He chose to ignore my tone, instead of laughing, relieving some of the tension. "Ah, my little wolf" he spoke smiling, "Always bringing mirth to any situation." "You're far too serious," I replied. It was odd that he was being so open. "I didn't think you were a fan of meeting i

*Cyrus*Something was wrong; I could feel it. Why had Fiona stayed back to talk to the stranger? I had only been there for a moment, but Blaze had been deeply unsettled by the stranger, sending goosebumps up my arm. It wasn't their unnerving presence that had unsettled me most. It was the lack of scent. I had tried to pick up the scent to see who it was but got nothing. I didn't even realize that was possible. At least not without some strong magic.I thought about it all the way back to the packhouse, barely registering Liz or Anna's presence. Anna left pretty quickly after we got back. Partly because I ignored her on the way back, partly because Liz hurried her home. Did that mean Liz was concerned as well? We both sat on different couches in the hall for a moment. Liz also seemed uneasy. When the silence became overbearing I spoke.

*Fiona*“Mate.” The words rang through my head. Cyrus was my mate. I felt that I had finally let go of a breath I had been holding since his arrival, realising only now that I had even been holding my breath. “Why didn’t you say anything?” I asked. I wasn’t angry, at the fact he hadn’t told me, just curious about why he didn’t. “It was the hardest thing I have ever done,” he said embracing me tightly like he was afraid I was going to run away. “I didn’t know how you would react. After what happened with David I didn’t want to put you in the same situation.” I thought about it for a moment. Would I have believed Cryus had he told me? At first, no. The past couple of days I felt like I knew, but refused to fully accept it for fear I was wrong. “I think you made the right choice,” I said after reflecting on it.Cyrus lifted my head to his and pulled me into a kiss. With the mate bond now in place, it was more electric than ever. Pleasurable sparks danced across my lips a

*Fiona*“Where are we going?” Cyrus asked as he followed me into the forest behind the packhouse garden. I could feel he was on edge as we wandered into the forest “It’s vulnerable out here.”“There are patrols out” I reassured him “They will know where I am and keep watch.” Cyrus had tripled check all of our security measures, so he knew how many wolves would be out on guard. Still, he didn’t look convinced.“You’ll see.” I tried reassuring him again. “I have a tradition on the eve of my birthday. Something I want to show you.” I sushed him when he asked what we were going to do. “We need to be quiet, to get in the right headspace,”

*Fiona*I woke up the next morning to Cryus watching me closely.“Good morning,” he said drawing me closer for a cuddle. I was enveloped in his scent and Skylah immediately started egging me on, sending graphic images of what she would like to do to Cyrus. I ignored her as best as I could, there was too much to do today.“Cyrus we need to get ready,” I whined, “the next pack will be here soon.” I started to feel my anxiety come forward. It was only one day before my birthday. I wondered what that meant for Cyrus and myself. I pushed the feeling down, I would worry about that tomorrow. Today I had to think about the other pack arriving. Hopefully, everything with the new packs arr

*Fiona*My head was reeling at all the information that was flying at me. I had never thought much about my mother’s family. They had never been mentioned growing up. Now that I knew they were family, it was obvious why they had looked so familiar. Every time I looked at Alpha Thomas or Luna Shae I would see traits that reminded me of my mother. At first, it was the eyes, but as the evening wore on I also realised there was more. Shae carried herself in the same way my mother had, light as a feather. I saw my brother's smouldering looks in Thomas’ eyes. Shae’s voice was even light like my mother's when she comforted me. I felt pain for her loss, but from that pain, something new was growing. I felt a cautious excitement to get to know this new family, hoping that they might hel

*Fiona*Standing on the steps of the packhouse waiting to greet the new pack, reminded me how little time had passed since I had greeted Cyrus in the same fashion. I remember how nervous I had been and how much I had wanted to prove myself. While I still felt like I was trying to prove myself, I was more assured and less nervous, this time around. I hoped that this time things wouldn't be turned upside down, as I was still processing all the changes that had happened in the past few days. I felt like a different person, with Cyrus, more reckless. I couldn't bring myself to see it as a bad thing."Who are we dealing with?" Cyrus asked taking a place next to me.

*Cyrus*When I awoke I was struck by a momentary panic, by the lack of Fiona's presence in bed. I nearly jumped out of bed, when I saw her sitting quietly on a couch engrossed in a book. I took a breath. When did I become so anxious? Normally I was fairly level headed, but ever since the threats against Fiona, everything seemed to be a threat. Fiona was my weakness, but I couldn't bring myself to see it as a bad thing.I watched her sitting on the couch reading. Her legs were propped up on one of the arms, making them look longer as her shorts rode up, nearly invisible under her large tee shirt. I could hear Blaze making some suggestions on how we should start the morning. I had been hesitant with Fiona so far, holding back. She was pushing me though, as she become more comfortable exploring. I would hold back for her until she was ready.&

*Fiona*I sat in my office chair, processing what Andre had said, staring at the wrapped gift on the table. When Andre had left, Cyrus walked me back to the packhouse, hand on the small of my back the whole way. As we enter my office, I could see him finally relax and take a breath. He sat across from my desk staring at the gift with much more suspicion than I."I mean it's so unlikely that I would find a mate the day of my birthday," I commented. The end of our conversation with Andre ran through my head."David did..." Cyrus commented, "You just might." There was something in his tone that caused me to look up at him. An emotion flitted across his eyes so quickly that I questions whether I had really seen it."You mean, like from one of the packs invited?" I thought out loud "I guess it's more likely if there are more wolves ar

*Fiona*The garden behind the packhouse was even lusher than the garden at the community centre. It held many different flowering plants while the community centre was more food-based. Rows of roses lined the path and lavender plants filled in empty spaces in the gardens, attracting a number of butterflies. It was a favourite spot of mine in the pack. The first thing I did when I became Alpha was to restore all the pack gardens to their former glory. The few memories I had with my mothers were of her gardening. Being here made me feel close to her, even years after her death.Cyrus and I sat in a white gazebo on the edge of the garden, watching the sunset over the packhouse. The hues in the sky complimented the colours of the blo

*Cyrus*When I woke up to Fiona in my arm, I thought I must still be dreaming. I didn't move for fear that when she woke it would all come crashing down. I watched her sleeping peacefully in awe, so delicate yet so strong. Never had I met someone who overcame so much without being jaded to the world. I debated whether or not to tell her I was her mate. Although her birthday was only a few days away the wait was proving torturous.I need to go at her pace though. I was devasted when she wanted to keep the events that transpired between us a secret, I want to shout to the world that we belonged to each other. Yet I would see in her eyes that she was still unsure about me. I didn't want to push and risk losing her so I agreed. It was difficult, as my body called out for hers. After last night, I was sure her body called out for mine as well.It proved m
