" No you LISTEN i need to know every name of every female wolf who has entered your land within the past week " i ordered to alpha darren into my phone
" look here pup I don't know what boundaries you're trying to cross but i owe you no explanation " darren said before i heard the line disconnect."Arghhhh " i said slamming my head onto my desk like I've done for the past seven years since taking over my pack as alpha.I could tell by the complete silence following the footsteps that walked up to my desk that Jonathan was indeed laughing at me," i think the last person who we should be expecting a war from is alpha darren , you know he just loves to get a rise out of you and i see it worked " Jonathan said to amused obviously by the pain i was causing to myself." it would help if you could maybe provide the information on the task i gave you " i said while pinching the bridge of my nose."I checked the boundary lines over twenty times not to mention the edge of the forest nobody is coming in or out " Jonathan said rolling his eyes , while collapsing into the chair infront of my desk." what about the fair lands " i inquired , being met with instant silence giving me all the answers i needed , and also a very sheepish Jonathan" JONATHAN " i yelled out exhausted from this conversation already." what! You couldn't have expected me to remember that place , i mean come on nobody has been there in decades " Jonathan said throwing his hands in the air dramatically." exactly " i said looking at him pointly hoping he would catch on." gloria was trying to tell us something and whatever it was it's important the only clue we have is that we are looking for a girl " i said ranting" the first place you should have checked was the fair lands , if she stumbled onto our lands it would be easy to get lost especially with the illusion spell Gloria's daughter fixed up , she wouldn't know what's real or what's fake " i explained to Jonathan" fuck " Jonathan bit out pacing back in fourth" look i have a feeling that this girl is there and if we don't get there in time this forest could kill her or worst rogues " i snarled before pushing past Jonathan to head out of the pack house." what is it about this girl that has you so " Jonathan tried getting out." so what ?" I dared him to say"Willing to help a girl who needs it , maybe it's because she's a person or the fact that gloria said to find her " i said rambling" or that she's your mate " Jonathan said teasingly,I didn't know what answer to give him cause honestly that's the only question that has been tossing around my mind." wait is she " he stuttered out after noticing i had nothing left to say." zekiel is she our luna " he questioned again." I DONT KNOW" i yelled out angrily, tired of all the questions being asked." all I know is i need to find her now " I whispered out desperately.Jonathan had known me since we were kids and he had never seen me so vulnerable, i think that was enough to make him realize how urgent this was." don't worry we will find her " he said positively patting my shoulder." whatever this is i have your back " he added before following behind me into the forest." thank you , now let's find her " i said with determination,I could feel my body heating up the more we walked through the forest, we had been walking in circles for a hour. Not finding munch but a endlessness of trees I had taken my coat off long ways back my body could obviously stand the cold now, unlike lily who was shivering away next to me. "It's obvious that something isn't quite right about this forest, or were you just waiting for me to say it" i insisted looking at lily. Before either of us could get out another reply a huge beast like creature tore through the tree's completely missing the sight of us at first,"Veronica run now " lily screamed yanking at me to turn back towards the way we had came. I couldn't move though, i was petrified I couldn't stop staring at the glowing red eyes , the way it turned around in incredible speed to snarl at me. It looked exactly like a wolf but three times the size it's fur was the exact color of pure black , anyone could tell the damage this monster had
I didn't imagine that the moment i closed my eyes i would instantly wake up but i did, I just never imagined that i would wake up to the most beautiful sleeping man I've ever seen, but it wasn't his fiery hair that reeled me in, it was the way my body and mind instantly felt connected to his as if my whole body was humming with this invisible energy i could feel connecting us, I don't know what made me feel so sure but i was positive this had to be the man the moon goddess had spoken of , my mate. Everything sounded so much louder or maybe it was the immaculate hearing i had managed to gain , but the sound of over hundreds could be heard letting me know that i wherever i was did in fact have a lot of people. But that couldn't distract me from the fact that i knew that this man was my mate,Looking around I slowly set up taking in my surroundings trying not wake the sleeping man while i was at it. "I'm glad to see you're okay" a deep voice
I could feel my beast get restless the more i pacedI just couldn't get her out of my mind, My body was fighting against every single instinct my beast was having. The moment he saw her through my eyes it was enough to send him in a spiral, enough to almost make me lose control again. The way she looked at us told us everything we needed to know. She could feel the bond, I could tell from the bond itself that she had a million questions. I also could tell she wasn't a rogue but not exactly human either meaning she had to be the girl that gloria told me i was meant to find. But never did i ever imagine she would be my mate, " ughh what is wrong with me" i yelled to myself in frustration, i had been waiting all my life for this one moment; I couldn't fuck this up. I hadn't thought about how much of a prick i must have looked rushing out of there like that, of course she needs me with her, why wouldn't she ? I'm her mate i knew she could feel the bond just as much as i could. "okay
Talking to the healer had eased my thoughts about my mate not being interested in me, not to mention seeing lily over these past few days have helped me more than i knew it would. Every since the healer gave me the green light they moved me and lily to the medical house until they was positive we were healed up. But i knew deep down it was to keep us under surveillance cause obviously they still couldn't fully trust us yet, but no matter how much i tried to not think about all the events that had happened; i couldn't help but let my mind wander over all the possibilities, or questions that rose the moment we arrived here. I just couldn't get him out of my head, i don't know if it was the meds but i even was beginning to smell him Causing me to sit up in the bed sniffing for that intoxicating earthy smell. "Find anything" i heard a deep voice say jokingly and If it wasn't for the bond enlightening me that it was my mate i would have been shocked by the sudden intrusion."Omgforfuc
On the outside i know i looked calm but on the inside every single part of me was burning to mark my mate as mines in take her far away from here, But leaving my pack was the most distasteful thing a alpha could ever do I couldn't abandon them when they trusted me to protect them. I had to inform the pack of their new luna that was the only way they would accept her, everyone had to be able to trust her and the moment they knew she was my mate they would with no exceptions. Having a luna was one of the most important parts of a pack, they would love her just as i do. Then we could confront the issue with the council, As all these thoughts ran through my mind I couldn't help wondering what details my mate was keeping from me. Even without the bond i knew it was something she wasn't telling me, i also couldn't help but wonder about the main questions; who was her parents?"What are you hiding mate" i whispered out loud to the forest, Whatever it was i knew that it was important to he
The last thing i was looking forward to today was training, but unfortunately that was the first thing that woke me up this morning; That and well you know who."Veeeeeee wakeee up" lily cooed in my ear, leave it to her to disturb me from my peace every single morning. "Go the fuck away" i yelled pushing her off of me."You only get three more passes doing that" lily said grumpily from the floor i had pushed her down on."Says the one who woke me up from my beautiful sleep" i shot back before rolling over to sit up in bed,"What's with the in person alarm shit this morning anyway" i said yawning before stretching after being sleep for about ten hours top. "Um i don't know maybe the training we've been talking about for over three weeks, i mean At least i have experience but you on the other hand" she said taunting me. "Is that so" i said with a sneaky smirk on my face."No" she said with horror before turning around to make a run for it out the door, but before she could make it ou
Every since we've arrived in this forest I've been antsy, I know what's coming i know the queen will never stop at nothing, and i know what she asked me to do. Causing me to rethink about the conversation me, and madam had right before i was sent on this mission."You'll do as i say or you know exactly what will happen to your family lily, remember this is me being lenient you what will happen if you disobey me," The Queen said staring down at me icly "I will be having madam make a potion for you at the strike of midnight your to drink this potion at the location of the entrance it will leave a bounding spell marking the area so that we can portal into the forest, your to do this on the third full moon once you do that our deal will be complete" she said clasping her hands in joy before remembering something. "and of course you're parents will be let free to go" she said mocking me."Anyways how about some tea before we get things in motion" she said excitedly, i was use to the m
"You've got one more time to yank my hair" i sneered back at lily, "Just be still I'm almost done" she yelled before giving my curls in the back a bounce. "There all done, now look" she said spinning me around to face the mirror, she had managed to do my hair in a up-down style, while also leaving my long curls natural and shiny.I hated to say it but i looked beautiful she didn't even add any make up just light lip gloss and some mascara to make everything pop. "Thank you lily" i said turning to crush her into a hug, "you are truly amazing" i said warmly "It's no problem" she said awkwardly patting my back, before stepping to grab me the wrapped package off the dresser."This is your dress don't ask me how I managed to get one but it's beautiful" she said gently before leaving."Thank you again lily " i said offering her another smile,"It was no issue trust me just have fun seriously" she said kindly shocking me, "Who are you and what the hell did you do to lily " i laughed cau
