“I highly doubt it,” I muttered, looking down at my feet. - And truth. Even Remus thinks the same thing. Now more than ever, we discover that your wolves have equivalent names. She crossed her arms. — What I don't understand is: why haven't any of you felt the call yet? — I don't think alpha Aaron and I were made for each other. He's the alpha after all, and I'm just an omega. - I told her. Pain exploded in my chest as I repeated his words. Aaron was right, as it turned out; I had nothing to offer him. - Oh, stop it. Of course you have a lot to offer. You are the kindest and most caring person I have ever met. You would be a great Luna for our pack. Not that bastard, Delancy. She just wants to have more power. - It doesn't matter. He chose her. And they are together. There's nothing I can do... — I sighed, defeated. — I just wish this week would end soon. I can't be around them. Max is back. - Hey. I spoke to Aaron. He's looking for Chloe. I tensed when I heard my partner's n
— Excuse me, Miss Wilhelm. This is the chef's specialty of the day. Roast duck with potatoes au gratin — Chloe replied. - You are crazy? I'm lactose intolerant. I can't eat cheese. Get this out of here immediately. Chloe ran to her side of the table and took the plate back. I scowled at Delancy. - What it was? I can't eat that, love. Cheese makes me bloated. — She pouted. — Chloe is my maid. She only takes orders from me,” I growled as Chloe placed a new plate of food in front of her, the potatoes replaced with salad. - I'm so sorry, baby. It won't happen again,” she said in her sweetest voice. I finished my lunch and was on my way to my room when Max and Remus' voices exploded in my head. — Alpha! Alpha! I was immediately alerted when I noticed the urgency in their voices. - What happened? — There was a breach at the southern border. said Remus. — The renegades attacked us! — Max added. Every hair on my body stood up. I walked out the door and ran through the forest. I tr
Aaron I was stunned, unable to move. When Chloe glared at me, I swore I saw, for an instant, her eyes turn purple. The room was suddenly flooded with an overwhelming force, the likes of which I have never felt before. — I'll take her to her room. — said Max. I agreed. — Let Aspen and Luna know via telepathy. They will know how to comfort you. - Yes sir. — Max grabbed Chloe's arm and helped her get up. — Come on, Chloe. They left my office and I collapsed into my chair. What the hell had happened? — Alpha Aaron...? I forgot my gamma was still in the room with me. I turned to face him and was surprised to see the look of shock on his face. — Did you... Did you feel that? Miss Craton's aura increased incredibly. I'm still tense from her energy. And her eyes... He took off his glasses and wiped them with shaking hands. — I've never seen any wolf with eyes that color. I looked at the now empty space where Chloe had been just moments ago. — Her transformation is unusual, — I sa
Aaron After Montana Craton's death, I did my best to stay away from Chloe. For my pack, I was officially with Delancy, although Max and Remus didn't think it was a good idea. As if I needed their permission. Max and Aspen bonded with my partner as if they were long-time friends, and even Remus became closer to her. Of course, he was also investigating this theory that she might be a descendant of the Moon Goddess, but I knew he identified with her too. Chloe, somehow, had this power, of always having people around her and making friends easily. I had to order Luna to keep certain guys away from her to ensure she wouldn't interact with them. She was, after all, an unmated wolf, and once she went into heat, she would be the target of every single wolf in our pack. “She would be safe if we marked her.” — said Cronnos. — I'm not going to mark her. Get it in your head that I won't accept you as my partner — I growled at my wolf. He just huffed in annoyance before disappearing int
— It's a shame your feelings aren't somewhere else. — he said, smiling slightly. - In another place? — I asked, without understanding. - Look. You must know that you are very beautiful. And one day, you will find your partner. A person who will value you, always. His smile widened. — At least I would value it, if I were your partner. He laughed. — Just look around. Give someone else the chance to love you the way you deserve. And stop worrying about Aaron. He's not worth that. - Oh, really? —a deep, velvety voice echoed through the corridor. Chills ran through my entire body. Max and I turned around and saw Alpha Aaron looking at us, at Max's hands holding mine. I pulled my hands away quickly. —I thought I asked you for another cup of coffee, maid. — the alpha growled. — I expected you to bring it right away, and not be here, chatting with my beta. — I'm sorry, alpha. — I squeaked, nervously, as I twisted the hem of my uniform skirt. — I'll bring it right away, sir. I start
Chloe The next morning, Aaron and the elders conducted a meeting with all the pack members. — We are happy to announce to the pack members that our alpha, Aaron Fortier Gagliardi, has finally chosen a mate. — said one of the elders into the microphone. He was addressing the entire community, who listened to him attentively. — We are pleased to introduce your future Luna from the Black Moon pack, Delancy Wilhelm. Everyone screamed and applauded when Delancy took the stage and stood next to Aaron. She grabbed his hand, eyes widening. I watched everything from behind the crowd. I didn't want to be there, but it was mandatory. I could feel my heart breaking a little more every second as I watched the spectacle unfold. That was my destiny. Watching my partner build his life with someone else. I stared at Aaron and our eyes met for a brief second before I turned my head. Someone touched my shoulder: it was Max, Bowman was next to him. Aspen was also with them. The three of them ha
- I don't know. I've been feeling sick since dinner.- Me too. Maybe we're just tired. Let's rest tonight and we'll see how it goes tomorrow, okay? I said.A good idea Rhea replied. With a weak smile, she lay down, curling up into a ball.A few days after dinner, I was still not feeling well and Tallullah was being more demanding than ever.It was as if something was draining my strength.My wolf has been away recently too. I tried to contact her, but she was nowhere to be seen.I figured Aaron and Delancy's engagement announcement had affected Rhea too. She didn't seem excited the night of the dinner.— You know, you don't have to put up with this. You are the alpha's handmaiden. Not hers. said Aspen.She was helping me with the dishes I had just brought from Aaron and Delancy's room.- Everything is fine. I don't call. - I said. And I wasn't going to stay here much longer either, anyway.I decided to escap
“For your partner, Delancy Wilhelm,” Max said, anger burning in his eyes.— Remus said he tried to defend her, but he couldn't do anything because of the warning she had already received, the incident with the uniform. — He looked at me. - For your cause! If you don't love that girl, why can't you just leave her alone? She is young and will probably meet her partner soon. What will you do when that time comes?I turned around and punched the wall.Why did I put that fucking warning on her record?—Aaron! What... what are those marks on your back? — Max asked.I turned to face him.- What are you talking about?But even as he spoke, I instinctively raised my hand and scratched the spot he mentioned.— You have red marks all over your back. — said Max.- What? — I tried looking over my shoulder. But I couldn't see it properly.“It doesn't matter,&rdqu
