It was hard to put into words what being in my wolf form truly felt like. My vision was sharper, my sense of smell was heightened and my reflexes were quicker than ever before. It was the most liberating feeling in the world, being able to run at breakneck speed without tiring. Sure, I still felt a little awkward in my movements, not used to running on all fours like that, but I felt happy that now, I at least had an opportunity to get used to it. Alpha Evan ran right beside me, his large black wolf dwarfing my smaller brown one but he kept his pace even with mine, never running ahead even though I knew he easily could. His woody scent was there, stronger than ever, making me feel warm and safe like it always did. My wolf felt at ease, heck, my entire being felt at ease with him beside me. It was almost unnatural how much at peace my heart felt with him by my side. A feeling of euphoria and of being complete engulfed me, like I had finally accomplished everything I was meant to wit

Without thinking, I jumped in to defend Logan. "Oh, he was just asking if we're mates. And we are," I said with a smile as Alpha Evan made his way down the stairs, staring Logan down, his gaze cold.Then, he looked at me and almost as if on instinct, I walked towards him, wrapping an arm around his waist and leaning in to his side. "We make a cute couple, don't we?" I said, hoping Logan would get the hint and play along. I had no idea what I was doing, but I was hoping it'd help take the heat away from Logan and calm Alpha Evan down enough that he wouldn't do something to hurt the guy. I did not want anything bad happening to him simply because he had been too curious to keep his mouth shut. I let out a small sigh when Logan smiled and agreed wholeheartedly. "Of course, you do. You guys make a great couple. Many congratulations on finding your mate, Alpha. You too, Luna."Alpha Evan then looked down at me, seemingly calm now. He gave me an almost pleased smile, as if happy to hear t

"Evan, you're back," I said, stating the obvious. "So it seems," he replied, his tone even as he walked further into the house, his woody sense invading my senses. I wanted to melt into his arms right then but it was not the time to let my feelings for him take over all rational thought so I stood rooted to my spot instead."Where did you go off to?" I asked, keeping my tone as neutral as possible."I went for a run to clear my head a little," he explained, his tone just as neutral as mine, if not more. "I'm, uh, sorry for the way I reacted earlier. I didn't mean to say all that."I raised a brow at his words. I was happy and immensely relieved that he at least knew he'd done something wrong and was man enough to apologise for the same. Much as his words had hurt, I knew that bringing it up again will do nothing but spoil both our moods. Now wasn't the time for that. Now was the time to talk things out. "Right. It's okay, but let's not make it a habit, yeah?" I told him, keeping my

"You're sure you want to do this? I can go alone if you're not comfortable," I said to Alpha Evan for the umpteenth time that evening as we made our way outside towards his car. "Yes, Melody, I'm sure. Even if I don't act like it, I am their Alpha and I want to introduce you to the pack myself so they know not to mess with you," Alpha Evan explained as he held open the door to his car, motioning for me to take a seat. I did so and he shut the door once I was seated before going over to the driver's side and getting in himself. "They wouldn't dream of messing with their Luna," I replied. Packs held their Alpha and Luna in high regard and everyone knew that they were always supposed to act respectfully towards their leaders. "Just because you think a certain way, doesn't mean everyone would think like that as well, kitten," Alpha Evan muttered, his eyes on the road as he drove. My brows furrowed. What did he mean by that? It wasn't something just I thought, was it? "What do you mea
