**Jason's POV**"Driving home, I am furious!"How dare her disrespect me. And fucking Aves is howling in my head in laughter. A bunny. A Goddess damned bunny. And pink! A fucking pink bunny. Max! Dude! Shut the fuck up! It's not that funny. From the back seat Jeremy laughs harder ''It is, though, man. The tail. The fluffy pink tail hanging off your ass! It was funny as fuck! And if it had been Max or me you'd be rolling. Wait! Wait! I took a pie. "Look!'' Oh hell No!"Delete that shit, Jeremy" I am fucking serious. "I will Alpha Command you dude!'' And my two best friends just roared! Good to know they got my back. Aves stop laughing. I'm praying to Goddess she's our mate. Best say ever!''Fuck you!''I feel a tug on the mind link and release the block. Alpha! it's Ariana, a girl just came in the apothecary, asking to buy another case of portion. I told her it had been discontinued which, had you asked, I would have been happy to have told you earlier.It was my first decision
**Ariana's POV**Lily and Jack have had dinner and are sitting on the couch, watching television. I walks in and Lily said she put a plate in the microwave for me. I smiled at them both walks over and kisses their cheeks and says.''I'm grabbing some coffee and my dinner heading to the studio". I need to work off today's fiasco. Oh! and that girl actually came in for more potions. I told her we aren't selling them for a while hen I let the Alpha know. Lily nodded and said. He called to apologize but I didn't talk to him. Jack did'' I looked at Jack and smiles. ''Wow!"Maybe he isn't as bad as I was thinking. And she laughs shaking her head. I stopped in my room and changed into my old painting sweats and tee shirt, throwing my hair up in a messy bun. I opened the studio door and stepped in pulling out a large brick of modeling clay and began to sculpt. Using my exact knife I began cutting to achieve the shape I was going for. Several hours later, I stood and stretched my back ou
**Jason's POV**I sit straight up in bed! What the fuck was that? I link Max and Jeremy to grab us breakfast and meet me in the office. ASAP! I am still processing what happened.Was it a dream? Was it really the Moon Goddess? I am confused! So very confused.The guys walk in and I barely take a breath ''Sit, sit" Listen. I had a dream last night. I think it was a dream. It might have been a vision. I actually think I traveled in my sleep.The Moon Goddess came to me as I was sleeping. She told me my mate needed me. But she's afraid! Afraid I will leave..like her mother's mate did but the Goddess told me he didn't have a choice. He was forced to leave her even though he didn't want to. But, she doesn't know that."Max pipes up ''So, who is your mate?" And have you decided you want a mate? Maybe that's why the Goddess spoke to you? "Like a test?'' I shake my head. ''No she knew about my hesitation and she knew about Aves. She didn't tell me who my mate is but she said I will have to
**Ariana's POV**Lily yelled up the stairs Come on Birthday Girl! Jack is meeting us at the Den.Your birthday is in exactly three hours and 37 minutes. The blue moon will be at its zenith exactly like the night you were born! "Let's get to celebrating."I took a quick spin in front of my mirror my dress fit perfectly as violet as my eyes. I have black heels on my hair done in a messy chignon. Aunt Lily did a beautiful job on it. ''Coming "now, my crazy Aunt!'' I laughed!We got to the club and Jack "was waiting for us, at the door. He swung me around, kissed my forehead and wished me happy birthday. In such a short time, he has found a permanent place in my heart! He's such a good man! We ordered dinner and were enjoying our after dinner drinks, as the band warmed up. Jack reached across the table and handed me a small square box and said ''Happy birthday!" I want to thank you for letting me love you as my own'' I got a little teary eyed and opened the box. it was a beautiful tenn
**Jason's POV**It felt like I just laid down, it's been a crazy day.Sophie has been banished to her parents house. No longer allowed at the pack house. She is not to address me by anything but my title and she pitched a fit! A full blown tantrum breaking and throwing shit. Max had to restrain her and I ordered her parents to get her crazy ass into therapy.Alpha! Speak! We have an intruder On the west border, bythe river.Luan subdued it but it is refusingto shift. Hold in place. On my way I wake Max and Jeremy alerting them to the intruder and we haul ass to the river. Within minutes we are approaching smell honey and cinnamon. I also smell blood. Blood? Aves has gone ape shit and leapt into warp speed and he's not listening to me in his anger. We rush into the clearing and I see her! A magnificent white wolf blood pouring from her side, staining the fur red and her right leg twisted at a difficult angle.Max has shifted wearing shorts and holding a pair for me. I immediately sh
**Ariana's POV** My eyes got big I wasn't expecting him to justaccept me right out of the blue. "My father accepted my mom. He mated her, but never marked her. He spent three days with her and on the fourth day, she woke up and he was gone. Just gone. No note, no goodbye nothing! She found out two weeks later, I was the result of her heart being crushed.Not a great feeling to have lived with my whole life. He never knew I existed. She never looked for him. I don't even know his name. If I am honest with myself, I feel cheated and I would love to know his name.I would be able to tell him how I really feel about him. How I hate what he did! I despise that my mom's broken heart never healed. For nearly 18 years, she was broken! She loved me but I never knew what it was like to live in a happy home. She tried but she never knew happiness after he left.Aunt Lily was the only happiness I grew up with. Then, when she lost what was left of her mind before my 16th birthday and the two yea
**Jason's POV**Dear Goddess! Keeping my hands off that beautiful woman is going to test the very last bit of my patience. I walk into the kitchen and Lily looks behind me, with her eyebrow raised in question. "She's getting dressed she should be down in a minute and her eyebrow goes higher. I laugh and shake my head "No we will mate when she is ready!" And Lily nods.Ariana skips into the kitchen, grabbing the mug Lily holds out to her she thanks her and kisses her cheek. "Where's Uncle Jack?"Lily smiles. He's gone to get the diner open and everyone settled, then he's coming back here to help me pack you up. Are you going to have an art studio at the pack house or should I just leave yours set up here? Both of them looking at me. "We can look at which room will suit you best and if none of them strike your fancy, I will build you one!" Ariana gasped and squealed leaping into my arms! Yep! Can definitely get used to this. "Ariana, we need to go to the pack house so I can announc
**Ariana's POV**I'm shocked. I am beyond shocked! I jumpoff Jason's lap and slap the shit out of Sophie. "You selfish, manipulative, ungrateful little bitch. How fucking dare you!? How could you!?" Ariella whispers in my head take his pain, we can do that he will be granteda secondchance. Trust me!I turn towards Luan and knelt in front of this poor man, with tears streaming down his face, I squeezed his hand "Luan, if I tell you I can take your pain.""I can guarantee you will have a second chance mate would you rather reject Sophie, so you will no longer hurt?" He looked at me for several long moments !stared directly into his eyes, so he would know I am telling the truth then he whispered "You can do that?" I nodded.He looked at Sophie and she sneered "Go ahead! It's not like I care!" And I slapped her again. He stood and said the words to reject her, and as he crumbled to the floor, I brought Ariella to the front "This pain you feel is fleeting The Goddess knows and forgives
