“Jasmine, listen to me, we have to leave. We can’t stay here.” I insisted, realising that my cover was about to be blown as my wolf slowly paced towards Rylan. I could not believe this was happening to me. Why did the moon goddess insist on throwing more obstacles my way? All I wanted was to get away from Creek and everyone in it. “You are my mate. What is your name?” Rylan asked softly. He was in his human form, but we could sense his wolf; the connection was palpable. I knew Jasmine could feel the pull of the mate bond, a force that we both couldn't ignore but couldn't fully understand. “I feel like I know you,” Rylan whispered. Daniella pouted crossly at the scenario unfolding in front of her eyes. "What is going on here? Rylan, today is my birthday, and you promised to meet me here, yet you were late. I almost got attacked by a filthy rogue and... “She started to get hysterical, but Rylan wasn't noticing her, which irritated her further. Even though I didn't like
Rylan’s POV A white wolf. She was beautiful, and I felt like I knew her from somewhere but could not put my finger on it. Who was she? The moon goddess had paired us together for a reason. I was blown away by surprise. A white wolf was rare, and she must have held some power wherever she came from. Daniella whining in my ear was irritating the life out of me. I couldn't believe my brothers convinced me to take her as our mate. Rio was more into her than any of us, so ever since we were small, our parents had believed that the moon goddess would pair us with Daniella due to her being the daughter of the better. It was assumed she would be our Luna. We needed a strong and capable female to work alongside us to lead our pack successfully. My parents had done a grand job of running Creek for all of these years, and I wanted to follow in their footsteps Although Daniella was a beautiful, stunning she-Wolf, I could never pretend she was the one for me.
Eliza’s pov “Mate will be looking for us,” Jasmine told me, but I wasn't going to go back there. Not now. They would kill me if they ever found out that it was me who had harmed Daniella. I never knew that I could be capable of anything like that. Jasmine lay down at the edge of a beautiful stream and took a long-needed drink from it. All the running had exhausted poor Jasmine. There was a small entrance at the edge of the stream that would shelter us for the night. I decided it best to shift back to human to allow my Wolf to rest up for a few hours. I could swim in the stream, and luckily, it was the warmer weather, so that I wouldn't freeze. I waded into the stream, the cool water soothing my weary body. “Hey, what are you doing trespassing on our sacred land?” an angry voice boomed from behind us, causing me to be startled. I turned around slowly, my heart racing with fear and guilt. Standing before us was a large, imposing figure - a member of another pack,
Rylan’s POV “You must have fallen off the idiot tree. I can't believe this rubbish.” Rio shook his head at me as we returned to Creek, still holding Daniella in his arms. She clung to him tightly, burying her face into his neck. His affection for her baffled me, and I couldn't help but think she was pathetic for relying so heavily on him. “It's true. Daniella knows it, too.” I growled, but my brother did not believe me. “Rylan, let's go back and say Daniella is our chosen mate. We know she will be a great Luna. Her beta blood with our alpha blood together will create some strong and wonderful heirs for our pack.” Rio started to say, and I thought he was crazy to think up such nonsense. As I prepared to respond to Rio with a disapproving gaze, our mother's shriek interrupted us. Luna Lara, our magnificent pack luna, appeared at the entrance of the outhouse, her presence commanding. Her eyes scanned each of us, landing on me with a disapproving look that made it clear she w
Rylan’s POV The following day, as the first light of dawn cast a golden glow over Creek, I awoke determined to prove the existence of the White Wolf, my destined mate. My mind raced with thoughts of the mysterious creature and the significance of our connection. My brothers would be sorry for not believing me. Daniella was not worthy to be Luna. She was weak, crying and wrapping herself around Rio like a snake. I would never accept her as anything more than the daughter of my father's beta. Once showered and dressed, I went to the pack's central meeting hall, where the pack's leaders gathered to discuss important matters and make decisions that would shape our future. As I entered the hall, I could feel the weight of their scepticism and judgment hanging in the air, but I stood tall, ready to defend my beliefs.Nobody would succeed in changing my mind. I was sure of that. My father was already there, and he cleared his throat and gazed across at the crowd of members waiting for his
Eliza’s POV "Thank you, Gerald," I replied, trying to keep any nervousness out of my voice. "I am grateful for your hospitality and protection. I have no intention of causing any trouble for your pack." Gerald's expression softened at my words, and he nodded in understanding. "You need not worry, dear Queen. We welcome all wolves needing sanctuary here, regardless of their past affiliations. You are safe here and protected.” With relief, I followed Gerald into the packhouse, Jasmine close behind. The interior was just as magnificent as the exterior, with intricate silver designs adorning the walls and furniture. The air was filled with pine and lavender, creating a calming atmosphere. Gerald led us to a comfortable room with a large, plush bed and a roaring fire. He gestured for us to make ourselves at home and promised to bring us some warm drinks and food soon. As I settled onto the bed, exhaustion washing over me, I couldn't help but wonder what was happening b
Daniella’s POV I couldn’t believe Rylan would even think about denying me, so what if I wasn’t their fated mate? I deserved to be the Luna of Creek. I was the daughter of the Beta. Not only did I have strength, I was a damn good fighter, and everyone here at this pack adored me. Well, all except stupid Eliza. Nobody liked her, but Luna Lara and Alpha Morgan were panicking that they couldn’t find the dumb hoe. She wasn’t important anyway. Yesterday was my birthday, and instead of being swept off my feet by my new mates, I was being attacked by some filthy white wolf that Rylan was now obsessed over. I had to find out who she was and get rid of her before she took my mates and my place as Luna away from me. I was not going to let anyone get in the way of me being the Luna of Creek. I had dreamt of being Luna since I was tiny; nothing meant more than having that title. As I left the woods and headed back home, I decided I would find Rio and get him to have a word
Rylan pov As I watched Daniella's desperate attempt to assert her claim as Luna, a wave of anger and frustration washed over me. How could she be so blind to the true mate bond that connected me to the white wolf? I couldn't stand by and let her manipulate and deceive those around her, especially Rio, who deserved so much more than her false promises and schemes. "Enough, Daniella," I growled, my voice laced with barely contained rage. "You will not manipulate or control those around you to fulfil your selfish desires. The white wolf is my mate, and I will not let you or anyone else come between us." Turning back to Daniella, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of pity for her misguided attempts to claim a title that was never meant to be hers. "You may be the daughter of the Beta, but that does not entitle you to the title of Luna. True strength and leadership come from within, from the heart and soul of a true mate. And that is something you will never understand." Ignoring
