Adrian held onto Bartram as they walked towards the border to Venomiya pack. Bartram had failed to convince him about not going into the pack. They were almost at the border and Bartram could feel the hair at the back of his neck stand up. Adrian was leading the way with a courageous look on his face. Bartram knew it was because he thought he had seen the alpha and nothing was going to happen."I still think this is a bad idea." Bartram muttered. "Crossing this borders without the Alpha's permission is dangerous."Adrian glanced back at him. "That's not the case, Ashford knows us and he has our Luna in his clutches"Adrian saw the terrified look on Bartram's face and paused. "You are not allowed to go in?"Bartram nodded. "I told you I have never been to Venomiya.""But Luna has and she is in there. We just have to find the pack house and that's all.""It's not as easy as you say it." Bartram muttered. "I think we should go back and wait for Luna to come back herself."Bartram turned t

Adrian dashed towards the house in his wolf form. Bartram was hot on his tail as soon as he pushed the door open and his head entered. He howled loudly and began sniffing the environment. He could smell their mate, and Rain wanted to push further. To get inside the house and find her, but Adrian wasn't going to let him.After shifting back to his human form, he entered the house stark naked and climbed up the stairs as fast as he could. He had to find her and see if she was okay; it was really dark, and he couldn't guess the time. Was she going to be asleep?He was at the top of the stairs when he spotted Ashford, and Luna walked towards the stairs. He ran closer to them; Ashford was the first to see him. He spun Luna around and covered her eyes with his hand, pulling her close to his chest. Luna yelped in his hand, not expecting it."I told you not to roam around naked!" Ashford bellowed. "I am not naked." Luna muttered."Not you," Ashford replied. "Him."Luna tried to turn her head

Nothing." Bartram muttered. "We are not talking about anything. Just talking about Ashford chasing Luna off."Ashford shook his head. "Well, he is lying; I didn't chase her off. She ran away."Adrian approached them; his brows rose, and he stared at them suspiciously. They were whispering before he showed up, and now they were lying about it."Why can I smell it?""Sell what?" Bartram questioned."The fact that you both are trying to lie to me" Adrian answered.Bartram thought of a way to end the conversation. He needed to confuse Adrian, and he was going to do it. He flashed Adrian a smile as he was about to speak. He spotted his favorite coat on Adrian."Why are you in my clothes? And also wearing my favorite coat?" Bartram questioned.Ashford grinned. "Father, he wore your clothes the other time and shifted, tearing them into shreds.""You snitch!" Adrian yelled at Ashford."I was just telling the truth, or should I mention the fact that you made Luna see you naked?" Ashford questio

Alexa threw the mug at the wall, alerting both her parents. Beta Alex was sitting by the window while her mother was up in her room. Alexa was fuming in anger. How dare her father mention Luna? She had left the pack to think of what to do; she could not let Luna take away her position.Even though she was not mated to Adrian, a Luna of a pack might not be fated to be mates with the Alpha. She had to do something about it. Marrying Adrian was the only way to get her rouge mother into Lunar Crest.Her mother was a rouge, banished from her previous pack, and couldn't be accepted into any other pack because of her past mistakes. Well, Alexa cared less about it; growing up, she had both her mother and father by her side, but she was stuck with her mother.To make matters worse, her father was not ready to get married to her mother. He never loved her; he claimed that they made a mistake by creating a child together. He clearly didn't want her.Alexa had to get in the position of Luna in the

Luna pushed her hair behind her ears and rolled her hand over the paper. Ashford was still by her side, watching her every move. He couldn't help but notice how hot she looked as she worked. Keeping the communication between the two packs on track. He wished he could listen with her when they were discussing, but he could read the reminder whenever the mindlink began.Phoebe was still unconscious, and Ashford was watching every sound of her heartbeat. He wanted to know when she was awake, the lady in front of him. Luna was completely ignoring him. She was focused on her work and forgot that he was even there."Are you done?" he questioned.Luna glanced at him. "No, Trevor said I should schedule a meeting between the two packs. Precisely, Tristan, Adrian, some woman called Lily, my father, Ashford, myself, and Phoebe."Ashford gave her a lopsided smile. "You could have said you instead of Ashford or my mate.""Sorry." She croaked, turning back to the paper. "But that isn't going to happ
