Chapter 3
Meeting His Mate
“There is no way I am giving you a free mind until you get us a mate, period.” His wolf side spoke.“You know what? Why don’t just you come out from me and search for her yourself, I think that will be better.”“You are totally useless, just stop talking to me,” Red added.“Better off, just do not say a word to me, I need to rest for now, and make sure you get prepared for tonight's race, we can not let the alpha of the snowpack beat us tonight.”
“I will be ready, we must remain the strongest alpha,” Red said before keeping shut as he looked elsewhere.
Alpha Collen was seen sitting with some of the elders of the pack and they talked about so many things going on between their packs and other packs, but yet their pack was still powerful.“But I will not lie to your alpha, majority of the people are talking about your son Xavier, some said maybe the moon goddess is angry with him or might have laid a curse on him.”
“He is right Alpha, why do we not engage in cleansing to wash off every curse that must have been placed in his life. we need to find a witch or something.”
"Silence!" He barked. Be was tired of their frequent nagging.
“Will you stop talking? Have you forgotten that I am still here, how dare you to talk about my son in that manner?” He spoke angrily in his alpha voice and they all kept quiet pleading with him saying,” We are sorry, we do not mean to make you angry, we never talked about your son, just the rumor we heard thet is currently going on.”
“My son is going to get a mate soon, like he said, maybe she has not met her wolf yet and when she does they will meet, who knows it might be on his birthday they are going to see each other.”
So, quite having side talks because I am not a fan of it. I might loose my temper. And I am struggling not to," he saw the terror in their faces and he decided fo speak in a mild voice.
I know my son would find his mate" he added.
“I hope so too, I think on his coming birthday we should make it look like a big feast, and invite more packs to attend the party bringing in everyone, I guess that will also make it easy for him to meet his mate, what do we think about it?”
“Yes that is right, we need to invite more packs to attend the party.”
“Tell the person in charge of inviting everyone to make it mandatory for all packs to attend.” Alpha gave an order and one of them took an excuse to carry it out immediately.
“I believe there is no matter arising right?” He asked.“One more thing alpha, there is something that is happening, what if the witch you killed in the past laid a curse on your family, who knows it could be the reason your son is not having a mate, it may be a punishment for the sins committed by us in the past.”
“Enough, I forbid anyone to tell me about the past or discuss it behind my back, am I cleared?”
“Yes, you are.”
“Take your leave now, this meeting is over and all preparation should be about Xavier's birthday, it should commence immediately.” He added taking his leave and no one dares to talk about the rumor or the past for the knowledge he can easily rip out the heart of anyone who tries to disobey him.
Alpha Collen was seen in his Chamber drinking wine and thinking about everything that just took place and he asked himself,” Is the moon goddess really punishing my son by not giving him a mate? I think that's selfish of her, we owe the moonstone meaning we have her full guidance and protection, moon goddess please grant my son a mate so when I leave this earth tomorrow, I will know my bloodline is continuing and ruling the moonstone pack.”He sip everything into his mouth when his phone rang, checking the caller. It was a call from the office,” Hello boss.”
“Yes, are there any issues at the office?”“Yes boss, some men came in today asking some questions about the woods and I know they might be related to the wolf hunters setting out traps in the woods.”
“I hope we are not getting wolf hunters in here, what you should do is this, get some good spy to follow them and give me a daily report of their business here. I do not want any wolf hunter coming to my son's big day, hope we got that?”
“Yes boss, the presentation went well today so I was thinking of bringing the document to your home so you could sign them.”
“Do not worry, I will be at the company tomorrow and I will take out my time to sign each paper and congratulations for doing a good job during my absence and my son.”“That reminds me, sir, many of the clients have been asking to do business with your son, I know he is still searching for his mate but he can't just let it affect the company, the company is still as important as the pack cause they are in line together.”“Xavier will come to work when he is ready to do so, so I need to end this call now. If there is anything important for me to go through, forward it to my mail.”
“Okay, sir Collen and do have a great rest.” She ended the call as he kept his phone.Going to the bedroom to have a rest, his Luna came in saying,” I knew you will be here, love.”
“I thought you were attending the Snowpack Luna party?”
“It looks so boring to me so I decided to come home.”
“What do you mean by boring? Is there something going on, I know you love, they must have said something that has got you pissed at the party.” He said bringing his Luna close to him as they both sat on the bed, he caressed her hair saying,” Tell me what took place.” He requested.
“You know her son just found his mate, during the party, you need to see the way he introduced her son to me. She also made a mockery of my son saying, ``I feel bad for your pack that your son is yet to find his strength.”“Seems the rumors are real, you do not need to worry about them, I promise you our son is going to get his mate on his birthday and we will no longer be the gossip of the town.”
“Thank you, love, I just remembered something. I had a terrible nightmare. It was like the ex-alpha heir brought an unexpected attack to our pack. Many died. I am so scared. Is it because a powerful witch died? We are met to suffer.”
He stood up feeling so uncomfortable then he said to her,” I don't ever want you to speak negative things in here or make a reference to the past, we should be focused on the present and there is nothing that can destroy this pack, we are in the possession of the moonstone, the moon goddess is with us.”

Adriana was seen getting ready for the race game when Jeremy came to meet her saying,” Hey wolf.”
She used her fist on him and he was able to dodge it as they both engaged in serious combat but Jeremy classified it as training her.
“Wow, you are so strong just like the way I pictured it.”
“You are still annoying best friend, I should have poured the bear on your face the other day.”
“Maybe I would not have helped you out of the woods, you know I am my uncle's favorite, he will listen to me.”
“Just guess, I will make sure I steal your spot, making sure I beat your ass down.”
“I should be frightened, but you do not scare me even if you are ten times stronger.”
“Yes he is right Adriana, you are always aggressive in every little thing, he calls you a wolf and you start a fight, are you not a wolf?”“Oh shut up Whisk and do not say a word.”
“You know what girl, you are the definition of rude itself, I will see how your regular strength can defeat him now mostly when his wolf can bring you down.”
Adriana fell on the ground and Jeremy said, “I won you and it was quite easy, you better make peace with your wolf side and stop acting all rude, you are a girl and can not change that fact.” he advised.
“Just go to hell please but great fight, I promise you next time, I will be the one beating your ass out.”“I will be waiting but before then, let's get ready for the race in the pack, it starts in at least twenty minutes.”
“Sure, see you then,” Adriana said getting up her feet when she saw her eyes through the mirror.
“Can you stop doing this when?”
“Sorry, just getting ready for the race, if I should leave you to yourself, you might lose again just like the way you lost to Jeremy so just agree, you need me.”
“Fine, you won, I need you sometimes and not everything, there is a clear difference.”
“Whatever, there is no point arguing with you but anyway, when are you finding our mate? After the next full moon, the heating season for us will be starting soon, I hope you know that?” her wolf form asked her.
“Sorry to disappoint you, finding a mate right now is not my problem, after the race, I guess I will be on duty today, care to work with me tonight?”
“I hate you girl.”“And I love you, wolf,” Adriana said laughing as she walked to the very spot the others were getting ready for the race.
Adriana saw Jeremy and his girlfriend kissing, she also wished she could have her first kiss.
**
Everyone was cheering and screaming saying,” Xavier is going to win this race again.”
“I love Xavier, he is so cute both as a wolf and human, he is damn huge, why did I not get mated with you?”
“Not just you but the others are saying the same thing you know, I wish we could just have a nightstand together and feel his well-built body.” The females of the other pack who came to watch the race kept fantasizing about having Xavier.“Let's stop wishing because he can never be ours, I guess the moon goddess has kept his mate to meet him soon, I must say his mate is damn lucky to have a cute dude as hers alone”
The race got finished and instantly, he shifted back into a human, and his clothes were given to him.
“I told you, Collins, I will win you on this.''Xavier boasted of his ability to always win.
“I know we will always win Xavier, great teamwork.” Red said to him and he replied to the wolf form saying,” We are the best teammates ever.”“Yeah but I still won you, you know why, my mate was cheering for me and here she comes to tell me something good.”Collina's mate came hugging him saying,” You did well love and you may have lost to others but you won to me.”
Xavier got angry as his eyes glowed but he cautioned Red saying,” It's not worth our range, I know soon we will find our mate.” Then, Red became cool.
“I am happy for you Collins, do not worry on my 25th birthday coming up soon, I will be meeting my mate.”
“That's what you always say at each birthday party, but I love your courage. Let's see if the moon goddess will be on that day.” Xavier was getting angry and the only solution for him right now is to go to a place to cool his head.
“Thank you, Collins, I think I got some important things to do, hope we race some other time.”
“Sure Xavier.”Xavier informs his best friend Stefan that he would love to have a long drive and will be back when his head is called, it's not a new thing for him anyway.
After a long drive, he was so far from his town and packed at a bar but something took place, Adriana was about to enter the bar for her shift when her wolf and the wolf of Xavier said the word,” MATE!!!!”Chapter 4MateAdriana in her wolf form was extremely faster than Jeremy during the race, everyone cheered her, some said, "She is a strong she-wolf, the first to have defeated other wolves in a race like this.""I am happy we got a strong one for our pack.""I think the moon goddess heard our prayers and I wish we can have more strong she-wolf like her.""I love her wolf form, I wish the colour of my wolf can be like hers, I would have loved it.""Me too.""She won, she won." They all cheered.After the race, Adriana spoke with her wolf, "That was a great run Whix.""You can say that again, I am happy we won tonight and we should always keep on winning in any race," Whix responded in a happy tone."I need to have my bath right now, its almost time for my shift at work.""It's okay now, I will need to rest a bit, take care for now." Her wolf form kept quiet."You were great out there." Je
Chapter 5Going After HerAdriana took off to the woods holding her chest as she breathes heavily."There is no way I can do this, I need to cool off a bit." She spoke to herself."What did you just do? Are you even in your right senses? Our mate just said hi, what you should have said is hello, idiot." Whix got so angry at Adriana."I am sorry Whix, but I was just too nervous, what do I do now? I just fooled myself with my actions by running right?" She asked biting her nails."Yes you did and it's even worse right now, your attitude might read another meaning to him now, he will feel rejected by his mate, I guess you are happy now." Whix got vexed at this."I am not, I feel so sorry for him, I can't go back there now, it will look somehow, let me just sit here in the woods and wait for him to leave, maybe another day when we cross part, I will apologize to him," Adriana added talking her seat on a rock.
Chapter 6First Kiss From A Mate"Why did you remove his fine hands off your ugly hands?" Whix yelled at her."I just felt a bit weird that's why he should not be scared too, I am not running if that's what he thinks will happen." She tried defending her actions."Moon goddess please help my human form to act like every reasonable human, Adriana is so senseless." Whix made a tease of her."Did I say something wrong? I am sorry if I did." Xavier apologise with his charming voice and she felt the cold chills over her body."No, not at all, you never said anything wrong and yes, I would love a drink so we get to know ourselves very well, I think we are destined to be together for a reason," Adriana said giving him her full smile"That's better then, so shall we?" He acted like the gentleman he is.Adriana cleared her throat giving a sign of her having a word to say to him."Adriana what are you planning to do? K
Chapter 7Kill The Witches"We just caught a witch." The man said been so serious about it, he is also part of the elders that brings information to alpha Collen directly.This made the alpha a bit worried knowing it's a bad sign."What do you mean by that? Do not play pranks with me, I thought the witches left in our town were burnt down in their coven, and those who are far from here hearing the same news will never wish to return here and face death.""I am serious Alpha, she was caught practicing some spells at the cemetery where other witches were buried." The elder who brought the information responded."Oh I see, she must have come to get the moonstone from us, Stefan, my instinct proves it, send someone to check if the moonstone is still intact, if she takes it away with a spell, then we will not even be aware of it." He ordered Stefan."I will do as you have instructed right now," Stefan said exiting t
Chapter 8The jealous type"I think you are in love already," Red said to Xavier."Can you just let me be Red?""Aren't you the one who was so scared to even go and meet her?" Red pressed on, annoying Xavier, who groaned, parking the car in front of a bar."But I finally did so Red, can you just let me take charge of things here?"Xavier alighted from the car and quickly ran to the other side to open the car door for Adriana but he was pretty surprised to see her out of the car."Oh, I was just going to open the car door up for you," he said with a pretty nervous grin, rubbing the back of his neck."Oh, I am sorry. I am not used to all this" Adriana replied with a smile, a smile that seemed to portray her shy side, a side of hers that had hardly ever been shown before."Don't act all good in front of him, I know how you treat him" Whix said to Adriana with a huff."I have never treated you badly... And say no more, I
Chapter 9Xavier watched as Adriana shot up from the chair she was sitting on. Xavier was pretty much surprised at the sudden move. "Do you want to dance?" Adriana asked him and Xavier agreed to it immediately. What was the fun of coming to the bar with a girl and not dancing? Adriana held his hands and led him to the dance floor. She began dancing crazily and Xavier could not hold back his chuckle. His mate was really something else. She watched her body move and sway to the rhythm of the music. She seemed to be lost in her own world. Xavier stared at her, not moving an inch. His tongue licked his lips and he gulped, he was lusting after her. That he was sure of. As if to worsen his present situation, Adriana walked over to him and drew him towards her seductively. Adriana seemed bolder to him. "Don't you think she is drunk?" Red asked. "Red! Who gets drunk after three cups? She is just havin
Chapter 10"For What reason do you think Adriana didn't come home last night?" Laura asked, playing with Jeremy's hair. "I don't know, she might just be in the woods. Don't worry about her, she's a very strong she wolf and she loves being mischievous anyways." Jeremy replied. " Seems to me like you know quite a lot about her." Laura replied and Jeremy could sense a tinge of jealousy in her voice. "Not as much as I know about you. She is my best friend but you... You are my mate." Jeremy kisses Laura for a short period before Laura broke the kiss. "What if she is in some sort of danger?" Laura asked. " I know Adriana pretty well, she is not in any danger, I think she is danger herself." Jeremy said and Laura chuckled at his words. *Adriana woke up with a hangover, she could feel a slight headache and she very well knew that the bed she was lying on wasn't in any way her bed. Her blurry vision cleared up and she saw Xavier
Chapter 11Aunty Sarah was busy cooking for her dinner when a knock hit her door. "Coming" she walked to the door and opened up to find a woman, a fellow witch breathing heavily. "What's wrong?" Aunty Sarah asked, letting the witch into her home and shutting the door tightly after her. "How did you get here?" Aunty Sarah asked. " I am not the only one here, we are now many here" " Why did you all leave the hideout?" Aunty Sarah asked. " Where... Where is the leader of the coven?" The witch asked. " Are you forgetting our deal? You all should be patient and wait till Adriana has been able to get a headway, do you want us all to be really wiped out?!" Aunty Sarah scolded. " We... We just..." "You all have no excuse! Going into the moonstones town in huge numbers, you think you won't be found out? What town is that? It belongs to the moonstones pack! Now, tell everyone else to go back into hiding. And pass a sec
Chapter 104Finally a happy end*Xavier's eyes widened."I... I am pregnant with our child" Adriana's voice came again, cracking badly."Father, you would not dare to kill her" Xavier said, with more determination in his voice than ever. The fact that his baby was in her fueled his anger against his father.The sword poked Adriana harder and she began to bleed slightly. Without another thought, Xavier grabbed the silver bullet on the floor and a gun that laid carelessly Faraway."I swear father to whatsoever you believe in. I am going to shoot you if you hurt her" Xavier said and instead he laughed, yeah Alpha Collen just laughed."We both know you love your daddy and you would not try to harm me," Alpha Collen said and poked Adriana even harder earning a whimper from her.But then Alpha Collen was wrong, he could try to harm him and that was precisely what Xavier did. Setting apart the love he had for this evil man he had
Chapter 103Xavier, I am pregnant*"Nooooooo!!!!" Adriana screamed as Aunty Sarah's hands dropped."Aunty Sarah!!" She screamed, feeling a deep pain of loss. Xavier had never lost anyone to death before in his family, they were all with him but here she was, she had lost every single person she considered family to Alpha Collen."Aaaaaaaaargh!!" Adriana screamed out loud as her shape shifted into her wolf form, her wolf form seemed to have some protruding parts that made it seem like feathers were attached to her back.Adriana rushed over to Alpha Collen who was trying to pick up the sword and hit him away, she hit him off with her snout and punched hard on him, her four legs landing on his chest harshly making Alpha Collen groan.Adriana hit him away with her snout again and sent him into the walls, shattering the walls behind him as he crashed into them. Adriana was furious and even though Xavier screamed and screamed, begging her to l
Chapter 102Aunty Sarah!*"What? You are shocked, right? You never thought you would see this face, did you? Ugh?!" Adriana yelled and walked over to the wardrobe."You bastard witches! I thought I had taken all of you down!!" Alpha Collen yelled with venom in his voice."You wish!" Aunty Sarah groaned at him."A... Adriana" Xavier called but Adriana squeezed her face into a deep frown, she did not want to talk to him now or in the future, she had betrayed him and she was going to know where she belonged by staying apart from him."Back then everything was so perfect, we were all living together, there was not even a single fight but your lust for power, Collen, you did not want to go with the post of the beta and you used her for it, you used Adriana's mother, my own sister as an excuse!" Aunty Sarah said with bitterness in her voice."Do you know how much... Just how much it hurts to see everyone I was familiar with dying?! And
Chapter 101Daughter of Alpha CarlosAdriana watched the face of her enemy as he frantically stared at the sword in his hands."This is the real sword! And with it, I am going to send you to hell!" He yelled at her and Adriana sighed."Such a pitiful man" Adriana shook her head."Won't you at least want to know who this is before you start killing?" Adriana asked with a faux chuckle."Who are you?!" Alpha Collen yelled at her."Hey no yelling at me""Anyways I am your worst enemy, the one you thought dead, the one you would not love to see, you remember me now? Of course, you don't! You must have done such things to like a thousand people tan you can't remember which am I but do you know the difference between me and the others you have offended? The difference is that I revenge, I do not let go!" Adriana screamed at him."Is that why you came into my son's life?""Of course yes, what else could be the reason? I hat
Chapter 100Check out your sword*Adriana walked down the aisle, staring at Xavier who was smiling at her nonstop in happiness that was clearly written on his face while he waited for her to get to him.Xavier was glad that things were going to go well with his mate, he was already imaginings perfect life with her, she was going to tell him all about her secrets and then they were going to live happily ever after, he thought.Adriana tried her best to keep a smile on her face as she got to Xavier but the smile kept fading each time her mind wandered off. Xavier smiled nonstop at him and Adriana tried her best to return the smiles but it was pretty unsuccessful, Xavier raised a brow noticing her mood along with the fact that he could not feel any sort of happiness from her.He could feel her sadness, Adriana claimed to love him so why would she be unhappy about the marriage."Xavier" Adriana whispered, the priest had asked the questio
Chapter 99Time to leave*Adriana stood right in front of the woods, this was it, she was going to betray Xavier's trust in her.She remembered his words clearly when he had told her that he was trusting her to keep the moonstone safe and within the pack and she was sorry she could not adhere to his words, this was what the moonstone pack deserved for going against her family and the coven, this is what Alpha Collen deserved for killing her family.She walked into the woods and quickly found her way to the location of the moonstone. She passed through each lock with ease and finally she was standing before the moonstone.She gazed at it for a while and sighed.."I love you. I really do love you Xavier but still yet I have to do this to you, I have to betray your trust" Adriana mumbled and it seemed like moonstone shone even brighter for a split second.Adriana reached out for the moonstone and carried it gently in her hands, the stone
Chapter 98Moonstone, here I comeAdriana stealthily walked to the wall and cast the spell."Kistonopil" and in a millisecond, she was at the other side of the room, the mystery of the secret room was being solved.Adriana stared at the very old place she had found herself, who would have thought that Alpha Collen's beautiful room also had this very ugly side to it with perhaps very ugly secrets.Adriana's eyes scanned through the stairs and she seemed to wonder if they would at all be able to hold her weight. She moved onto the stairs and they really did a good job holding her up.As she journeyed through the stairs, she could scent out energy and power, this energy and power did not belong to a werewolf. No! Adriana took in the scent deeply and her eyes shot open."A witch!" She mumbled and increased her pace, getting done with the flight of stairs quickly.And there at the end of the stairs was an old woman, the witch Alpha Coll
Chapter 97The mystery behind the walls*Adriana and Laura finished cooking and both dished out the meals they had made on different trays, Adriana was going to give hers to her mate and Laura would also do the same.The both of them walked up the stairs with smiles on their faces as they stared at the food in their hands, but Adriana knew that her smile was fake again.Adriana pushed the door of Xavier's room open, holding the tray stable in the other hand."What are you guys doing?"Adriana asked, stepping into the room along with Laura."Nothing special and trust me your bestie is as boring as anything" Xavier groaned."Okay, okay. I am here now" Adriana said and brought her food over to Xavier while Laura walked over to Jeremy."Here, that's my food." Adriana said with a smile on her face as Xavier uncovered the food and took in the delicious aroma.Xavier picked up the spoon and was about to scoop some of the mea
Chapter 96Till the last blood in me dries up*Adriana and Laura stood still in the restroom, Adriana felt her head spin, this was not good news."You do not seem too happy" Laura noted out and she was just absolutely right, Adriana was pregnant with the one she was going to go down to war with, how in the world should that possibly be a thing of happiness for her."I... I..." She stuttered, not being able to say anything, she was dumbfounded, she was shocked, her eyes were now getting teary."Alpha Xavier loves you right? And you both are getting married tomorrow, the pregnancy should actually be a thing of joy" Laura said but there was no way Adriana could explain to her that this baby was definitely going to grow up without a father's love cause by the time she would give birth, Xavier would be far away from her, there was no way she would be able to explain to Laura that the baby might even die before she found a way to get rid of him.
