Aláine's Point of View It was morning time all too soon, as I slowly opened my eyes and stretched. I was drained, bordering on exhausted, when I sat in the kitchen holding my first cup of coffee for the day. Every last detail I could remember from last night has been running through my mind, not to mention some highly erotic moments involving Kristof. They hadn't actually happened, but I wished they had. Damn, he was sexy, and there was no doubt that I was attracted to him. Who wouldn't be? So what did happen last night? Everything seemed surreal. This incredibly sexy, attractive specimen of manhood had walked into my life and said we were destined to be mated forever. To top it off, this was all determined by some obscure Moon Goddess. I was not a religious person whatsoever. Typically, my warning bells would be going off majorly, but for some strange reason, they weren't. Still sitting at the kitchen table, now nursing a lukewarm cup of coffee, I found my mind focusing back on
Zara's Point of View Aláine and I sat in her bedroom while she went through her wardrobe. Yay! My BFF was going on a date tonight, and I was absolutely thrilled for her. Aláine didn't go out much and didn't date anyone after the issues with her ex-boyfriend, Marc. She often turned guys down that I wouldn't have. Well, at least until I met Noah. Marc was an arsehole because she wouldn't sleep with him. Now she was going out with this gorgeous-looking guy, who was a werewolf. "I'm dating a werewolf," Aláine said incredulously. "I'm going on a date. Seriously, what the fuck am I doing?" "You will be fine," I replied. "Werewolf or not, Kristof seems like a nice guy. I know Noah is, so I am sure he is too." "But I don't date!" she exclaimed. "Hold on, are you nervous because he is a werewolf or because you are going on a date?" I asked. "Yes!" she said nervously. At this point, I was trying not to laugh at her. She really needed to get out more and realise that not every guy was li
Aláine's Point of View The next night, I looked at myself in the mirror from the front and side views. "Here I go again," I said to Zara, "dressing in clothes that are really out of my comfort zone and showing too much leg and chest." I turned and looked at Zara, "Maybe I should wear my usual jeans and see if that turns him off." "Don't you dare!" scolded Zara. "Every girl should have a little black dress. You look better in my clothes than I do. Good thing I'm your best friend, or I'd be very jealous of you." "I love you too, girlfriend," I replied. This little black dress is too short as far as I am concerned and shows far too much leg. "I'd never buy fabulous clothes like these," I answered. "Thank you for letting me use your wardrobe... again." There was a knock on the door, and Axel went wild, barking and jumping. Zara went downstairs and opened the door. "Your walking candy store is here, Aláine!" she called, laughing. I could hear Kristof's voice, although I couldn't he
Kristof's Point of View I noticed her body react after I hinted at sex. Not only did her eyes widen, but so did her pupils. My wolven aspects could smell her body's delicious reaction. As I sat back, I smiled, knowing I had succeeded in turning her on. Of course, my body also reacted, and I was glad the table cloth hid my hardening, and I will admit my somewhat prominent, bulge. Both my wolf and Lycan wanted to fuck her right here and now. My human side was battling them for dominance because it would be totally inappropriate to give in to that impulse in a crowded restaurant. My human side would have most likely given in if we were in private. "Excuse me, sir, if I may serve your dinner now?" The interruption by the waiter brought me back to reality. I needed to take a deep breath to control my anger at being disturbed by another male and turned to look up at the man. I simply nodded, not trusting myself to say anything. During the main course, conversation about the three werew
Aláine's Point of View The following morning arrived too soon. Rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, I left to take Axel for a run. I had already fed Axel, but I would have my breakfast afterwards. Who wanted to run on a full stomach? I was tired for two reasons. The main one was because I sat up late talking with Zara about everything I had discovered about werewolves. Zara was also pleased that werewolves weren't the horrible scary monsters of the movies, although she was not sure of the Lycan aspect. She still wanted to continue seeing Noah, werewolf or not. "I wonder if Noah will find his mate like Kristof?" she said sadly, "then I guess we won't be hooking up." I shrugged and gave her a big hug. Since Zara hadn't seen anyone else since she had first had sex with him, I suspected that she had feelings for Noah and that their relationship was more than a hookup. Not that Zara would admit it to herself or to anyone else. That was so essentially Zara. At dinner last night, Kristof al
Aláine's Point of View I had run around the park once, but Axel still needed more running. As usual, I had a tennis ball in my pocket for him. While we were playing our game, I noticed a man standing close to me watching both me and Axel. "What a lovely dog he is," the man stated, "a husky, right?" "Yes," I replied. "I'd often thought of getting a dog. Do Huskies make good pets?" he asked. "Yes," I replied again. I had a good look at the guy speaking to me. He was handsome, I supposed, but not like Kristof. I found my natural inclination to compare any man to Kristof amusing since I had only just met him. I was not sure I liked the look of this guy. There was something off about him, but I couldn't put my finger on it. He was attractive enough; I'd give him that, but there was more to someone than good looks. He lacked whatever that was, so I didn't smile at him. I simply ignored him, hoping he would get the hint, as I continued playing with Axel. I moved away from him when he
Noah's Point of View Kristof asked me to arrange protection for Aláine. Since he's my Alpha and in the direct line to the throne, he wanted to ensure his mate was protected. Nothing was likely to happen, but he needed her to have extra protection as she was not staying on pack lands or in the pack house. I wholeheartedly agree with his reasoning, so I decided that the first proper watch would be Michel and me so that we could get an idea of what her day was like. After that, we would arrange a rotation of guards. We had been sitting in the Ute since about 4 am, as we had asked two of the pack's fighters to watch from when Kristof dropped Aláine off after their date. We figured that nothing was likely to happen since they had only gone on their first date. So far, the two fighters had nothing to report. No one had gone in or out of the house, and no one had parked since they had arrived. "So I hear you've been hooking up with the new Luna's friend. Zara isn't it?" asked Michel. "Y
Kristof's Point of View I was just going through the pack accounts, which was not my most favourite of jobs when my phone rang. Noah was on the other end, "Alpha. We have been following Aláine as you requested. This morning, she was running in the park with her dog. Just now, a couple of possible rogues tried to take her, but we got there in time. Unfortunately, her dog, Axel, was tasered by the arseholes. Sorry, Alpha. We've got her and the dog in our vehicle. What do you want us to do?" The first thing I felt was fear. I hadn't felt that in a long time. It felt like my stomach hitting the floor when I received that phone call, and then rage set in. Someone was attempting to take my mate from me. Someone was trying to take my pack's Luna. Being this possessive wasn't something I thought I was capable of, but I was obviously mistaken. Aláine was my mate and my Luna. There was no way in hell I would let anyone take her. I wouldn't let them hurt her any more than they had already done
