“Enrick!”Drina yanks up from her sleep with a scream. Disoriented, she first stares in front of her and then looks around the room. She realizes she is home in her own bed, not in Midnight Moon, next to her mate. His name came out before she even thought about it. In her dreams, she saw him with the malicious grinning Alcina in his arms as he stared at her with so much hatred.Over the next few weeks, she must physically recover before meeting Enrick again. But the nightmare she just woke up from makes her realize that something is terribly wrong. What she feared for years and wanted to protect her mate from, now seems to have presented itself. As she looks around her room, she realizes that Enrick is not only the center of her concern, her responsibilities go far beyond her mate. Sweat of fear breaks out on her forehead, this whole debacle is getting serious now. She quickly throws off the covers and inspects the cribs beside her bed. Fortunately, they all sleep through the night, h
From a distance, Beta Jace watches the border, where the White Wolf usually enters the pack. It is dusk and he makes sure to be well hidden behind a huge rock that also obscures him from the view of the packhouse.Now that Alcina has become acquainted with Enrick, he expects that the reason for her presence in Midnight Moon will now become clearer. Jace suspects this has everything to do with Drina's parents who recently visited his Alpha King. The most remarkable in all this is that neither Drina nor her parents possess a werewolf scent, indicating they have something to hide. And then neither does Drina discloses her official mating with Enrick, all red flags that Jace is assured are related to Alcina's arrival. For him, these are too many coincidences.He sits patiently in the grass, sipping a bottle of water.Erina kept him busy all day, he was happy when she finally fell asleep. She constantly demands his attention, stays close to him and follows him everywhere he goes. His wolf
With one jump, the White Wolf is in the Alpha King's apartment.Some of the Border Patrol warriors saw her running towards the packhouse, but could only watch in distress as she disappeared into the pack's garden. Shaking their heads, they turned and continued on their way, determined to talk to Beta Jace about this matter again.When Drina enters the bedroom, she notices that Enrick is still working in his study. She walks to the en-suite, takes a perfumed bath and pulls out a short yellow dress from the closet. Enrick always makes sure she has enough clothes here for all occasions. She then strolls to a cabinet in the farthest corner and takes out some chains and a lock. She is now unable to have sex with her mate but that doesn't stop her from pleasing him. Now that she knows that Alcina is after their mate bond, she wants to do everything to strengthen the relationship. Not that she doubts Enrick's loyalty, but she knows what the witch is capable of.Silently opening the door, she
“Luna Queen!”Drina jolts around, for years she kept thinking she was passing the borders of Midnight Moon unseen. And just as she tried to sneak around this time, she was stopped by a familiar voice.She notices Jace emerge from the dark. When he's standing there watching her, she walks toward him sheepishly. “Jace. Were you waiting for me? And I thought to leave unnoticed again like ever. What's up?” she asks him.Jace stares at her. Never had he stood this close to her. And then he realizes that her face reminds him of someone. But he pushed that thought away, he approached her tonight for answers. He was always aware of the fact that as a White Wolf, she is a special emissary of Moon Goddess and her mating with the Alpha King is a scheme of Selene.As he stood there taking a deep breath, it was confirmed that her scent was now entirely Enrick's. But he senses something else about her, something much bigger than he can comprehend. He looks at her thoughtfully for som
But then a dark cloud passes over the moon, darkening the whole area.Startled by the sudden change in the atmosphere, Drina and Jace raise their faces to the moon, now obscured by a slowly passing cloud. Drina regains her senses first, taking this opportunity to disappear unnoticed. That saves her from answering Jace's delicate question. She's not ready to share her family's secrets with third parties, not even with Beta Jace.“Shit, shit, shit,” Jace swears when he finds himself alone. He looks around, but Drina is nowhere to be seen. “This Luna Queen has too many secrets. I need to speak to Enrick about this matter," he muttered to himself. Deep in thought, he walks back to the packhouse.Then he tenses when he thinks of Erina. He suspects some interesting years ahead if she indeed is Enrick's daughter as he suspects.The moon is back in its old glory.As he gets closer to the packhouse, he turns his eyes to the windows of Enrick's apartment.And as always, the Alpha King stands st
Alpha King's POVThis evening with my mate was breathtaking.She was very daring and I can't say I had any problems with that. I just wish I could have held her a little longer in my arms. She didn't leave last night while I was still asleep. After we had great sex and fell asleep, it was time for her to go. With feather-light kisses on my face, she woke me up to say goodbye. Completely different from what she was used to doing. And I waved at her when she jumped out of the window. Any change can improve our relationship, so I am happy with this little step.I'm going to sleep for a few more hours before I get back to work.The Alcina issue is high on my agenda, I need to know more about her matter. The woman has arrived here at a crucial moment and Clark is not her target.When I wake up again, the sun is high in the sky. I overslept, I had no intention of being in bed at noon. "'ace, in my office in an hour,' I let my Beta know as I sprint to the bathroom.Whistling i
“Tell me what you know, Jace,” I command my Beta. “I actually suspected that there is some overconfident alpha who wants my position and sent a woman to seduce me. Because only Clark doesn't realize that Alcina is not here for him”. I see a flickering in Jace's eyes, I hope he doesn't know more than he tells me. His aura changes for a moment, but he quickly recovers. I can't read his mind this time. So waiting is the best thing I can do right now. Jace is one hundred percent reliable, I'm not worried about his loyalty. “My observation is that she wants to become your Queen Luna. And want to do evil with that position. There is nothing positive about her. Her aura is dark,” explains Jace. “She wants Drina out of your life”. A raspy laugh escapes me; driving Drina out of my life and heart is as impossible as draining the water from the seas. If that's Alcina's motive, she can go back to where she came from. “But what exactly does she want? If it's not about me but Luna Queen's positio
I'm getting Erina from the kid's club as agreed.She is overjoyed to see me, which actually surprises me. I never gave her a reason to doubt my word. “How was your day so far, Erina?” I ask as she simply plops down next to me.“I was so bored. There is nothing for me to do in the club," she explains, making a sour face. "The thing is, I forgot to take my weapons with me when I left home." Frowning, I brush her face, wondering if she's funny or serious. A five year old pup handling guns is not really what I expected from her. But then again, Erina doesn't seem like the everyday girl to me.“What weapon do you have then? And what did you do with them?” I ask lightly as I deftly direct the car onto the main road. It is a bit busy; parents come to pick up their children from school, which goes with a lot of impatient honking and sometimes a cannonade of cursing.“Riffles and shotguns. I practice with them, and I can already shoot very accurately,” she says as if talking abo
