Stella POV
After training with Romeo, I went to my room to take a shower. I was exhausted, but I was also happy that I could endure this first training session. I know for a fact that he will start pushing my limits, and I am thankful for that. On my schedule, I have an hour's break and at 10:30 am I need to show up at our team's headquarters.
I quickly took a shower and had some breakfast. I decided to wear black yoga pants and a black T-shirt. I had no idea what kind of activities we would be doing, so I decided to go with comfortable tennis and no jewelry. I know Paige is always giving me crap for not wearing her gift, but unfortunately, with my new activities, I won't be able to please her.
I walked towards the meeting room and I saw one of the guys, Corey. “Hey Stella...” He greeted me by extending his hand “If you don't remember, I am Corey!” He said, and I smiled at him “Hey Corey, nice to meet you
Romeo POVI had a super long day. After the meeting with my dad, I got a notification from the Eastern packs reporting some rogue attacks. I quickly had my assistant make copies and sent them to Nate to see what we could do about it.The book my dad gave me was there on top of my desk. I was about to read it when Paige entered my office. “Hey babe…” She said, pecking my lips. Just that little affection made my insides churn. I took a deep breath, and she sat on a chair across from me. “Babe, I have been going around with your mom, she is great…” She said, and I nodded.“Yeah, I heard you guys are getting along...” I didn't want to break her heart, but I am barely enduring her presence now. “Paige, I am quite busy now… Can we meet later?” She gave me a defeated look.“Sure, I will be waiting for you later…” She walked out, and I went to the training grounds since I had to supervise the youngsters' tra
Stella POVWe finally finished the whole tracing and identifying routes and patterns. We were about to present the team's work and findings to Romeo's father, our current Supreme Alpha King, and to Romeo. It was nerve-wracking, but fortunately for me, I have been getting along with him, and I am not nervous about presenting in front of him. His dad was a different story.They entered, and our presentation was successful. Nathan presented and resolved all of their doubts. We still have two weeks to coordinate with CrescentMoon to be prepared for a future attack. Our Supreme Alpha King, Alpha Remus, asked us to go to CrescentMoon with the mission to coordinate and assist their warrior teams in the upcoming attack. All of us nodded, but then Romeo surprised everyone by saying “If you allow me, I want to request permission to join the team on this mission.” He said, and his father nodded, granting his permission to join us.Th
Stella POVHe didn't dare answer my fucking question. Why is he reacting that way? What in the blue world is happening to him? I am concerned, he is a great guy and was conflicted and in pain, and if I can help him figure things out, I will do it. When I pressed him for answers, he apologized again and walked away. I stood there drowning in a tidal wave of emotions.I walked out of the compound where the meeting was held decided that I needed to rest, and headed back to my room. Locking the door behind me, I walked towards the bathroom and fixed a bath with salts. I needed to relax and think clearly about what happened.The warm water did the trick, but suddenly I felt sick, my head was pounding, and my vision was blurring. I let out a big scream in pain, before blacking out completely.Everything went black, and then I felt a shot of tingles and sparkles shoot all over my body. What the hell is goin
Romeo POVAfter my mom's rant and my dad's cryptic help, I took the book from my office to my room and read it at the next available chance. I had no idea why, but I felt like I had to go back to Stella.As soon as I entered my floor her sweet strawberry cheesecake scent hit me like a ton of bricks. Her scent intensified over the last two hours. Wow, I am so attracted to her scent, well, to her overall.I walked towards my room, stopping by her door. It was closed, and I decided that before going to bed, I wanted to see her. I cautiously knocked on her door and heard shuffling on the other side, before she opened the door."Hey Romeo…" She sweetly greeted me. "Hey, Stella, just stopping by and checking out how are you feeling?" I said, looking into her eyes…Max was a mess, he kept leaping and jumping up and down. "Kiss her you dumbass…" he said in my head, a
Romeo POVThe part of the prophecy that I was not aware of, only shed light on the fact that I was 26 and about to meet her. That she was cursed by a witch and a She-wolf and that to break the curse we would have to mate.My head was spiraling, because I had had sex with Paige two times, and she was not the one the prophecy referred to. She has a wolf, so definitely she is not the one. Max was running in circles in my head, screaming "Leia… Leia," that made the whole thing more confusing, because I kept seeing Stella in my head.A soft knock on the door pulled me out of my mind. I stood up and walked towards the door to open it. I knew it was Stella, her unmistakable scent peaked through the door, before opening it."Hey, come in," I said, moving to
Stella POVAfter talking to Romeo, I felt relieved that he thought the same for me. We are getting to know each other and falling in love with each other. I would never have imagined that it could be a possibility.We ended our chat, promising to talk about ourselves as soon as we returned from CrescentMoon. I quickly went back and entered my room. I had to pack my bag for tomorrow. Instead of being a nuisance, as usual, the whole packing process was rather pleasant... I was in a superb mood. I couldn't erase the silly smile on my lips. I couldn't help it. Leia kept chanting, in my head, that Max wanted us.I needed to get used to her because she was driving me crazy. I packed my duffle bag with tons of training clothing and some dressy clothing just in case.I tossed and turned the whole night, thinking about the mission, thinking of the risks and dangers, but mainly thinking of him. Romeo took most
Romeo POVAfter a 5-hour drive, we arrived at CrescentMoon. The place is nice and thriving. We were received by Alpha Leo and Luna Martha, next to them his Beta Bob, his son Tony, the future Alpha, and next to him Brad, their future Beta.Both SUVs parked up front of the packhouse, and all the guys quickly stepped out of the cars. Corey, Elliot, Gus, Jack, and Nathan climbed out of their SUV. Morgan and Zach did the same, they were ready to stretch out, after the long ride. Stella was about to open her door when I stopped her.“Let me do it…” She looked at me and nodded. I quickly climbed out of the car, earning a few gasps, because nobody knew I was coming to the mission. I opened her door and she stepped out. Tony and Brad looked at each other and grinned at Stella.Stella shivered but composed herself quickly. She slowly walked and joined the rest of her teammates. I moved forwa
Stella POVRomeo held me against his body for a while. I was yawning by the time he left my room. I hope everything goes well tomorrow. Honestly, I missed him the second he walked out, but we needed to keep our distance. After all, we were on a dangerous mission and needed to focus on the task.The next day, we started training at 5:30 and by the time we were summoned for breakfast, we were ready to face the day. Gus and Morgan were in charge of physical recon of the area, while Corey and Jack were in charge of setting up cameras around the perimeter. Nathan was the Commander on site, while Romeo was the Commander around the control center. Elliot, Morgan, Zach, and I stayed at the control center, setting everything up and programming all the technology. Romeo's presence was distracting, so I made a mental note to talk to Nate about it, seeing that maybe he could keep him away from me.By lunchtime, we were all settled a
