Alex retreated to his study as quickly as he could. He could feel the raw pain of his mate and even hear her cries.His heart wanted to comfort her but his head was against the idea. He had always gone along with his head and he wasn't going to do otherwise now. Even if it killed him.Most importantly, he needed to find a way to stop this mate bond from messing with his head.Alex hadn't been his usual self all night long and all morning. He blamed his mate for it. He still didn't know her name but after looking into her eyes, he could think of a name that would suit her–Crystal. Her eyes were bright and shined like two crystal stones placed side by side.Realizing where his mind was drifting to, he shook his head. No, no he didn't and couldn't be thinking about her eyes or her perfectly sculpted lips.What was wrong with him? He face-palmed and sank his fingers into his hair and groaned.She was in his system like a drug he couldn't get out. She was hurting and he hated himself for
"You have to release her back to us. We will not leave her here in a cage." Stella fumed, beginning to dislike the very reason, didn't want to be away from her and two, because it was the law. Any trespasser would be locked up for three days and that was law and he wasn't about to break that even for his mate."There has to be another way."Alpha Jayden tried to reason with him."There isn't," said Alex in a strict tone.The moment he found out they were Mia's parents and they were done with their emotional drama of exchanging kisses and hugs, he threw her back into her cell.They were now in his spacious and luxurious study. Alex was sitting comfortably on his chair while they stood in apprehension. He wasn't bothered because this was his Pack and he could do pretty much whatever he pleased with whoever he wanted here.Mia cursed at him, throwing kicks and punches at the wind while he walked away from the scene.Her parents had followed him back to his study to protest and that was
Alexander Heartman had kept to his words and released Mia after three days. Her parents had refused to leave without her so they waited until she was released.Alpha Jayden was happy with how things turned out but just when Alex was about to send them on their way, Elder Kaleb paid him a visit.At first, he was happy to see the old man until he understood the reason for his visit.Somehow, word had gotten out that Mia and her parents were in his Pack and he came to give them a date that the unavoidable wedding would commerce."Tomorrow?!" Alex exclaimed while Alpha Jayden, Stella and Mia kept mute in shock."That's too soon Elder Kaleb," Alpha Jayden reasoned."No, it's not!" Mia retorted sharply, staring angrily at Alex and if looks could kill, Alex would have been not just dead, but buried. "What, Does it irk you to marry me? It has to happen sooner or later."She had been on his neck from the very moment she was released and she felt the need to punish him for ignoring their mating
Alex HeartmanAlex ran his hand through his hair in frustration. He was hungry as he had missed breakfast earlier that morning to avoid being in Mia's presence.He wanted a break from his disarray emotions and her alluring presence that was why he had abandoned his meal earlier that morning.He wished his emotions could be like the day after the demon had possessed him. At least, he didn't have to battle with her emotions entangling with his.Alex sat in his study trying to do some work but nothing was working these days. Not his Pack, not his marriage which had been doomed to fail from the very start. Not even his mind was working, and not his damn pen!Nothing was working, absolutely nothing.Alex tossed the pen aside as he struggled to coordinate his thoughts and emotions that had been predominantly on Mia since the moment she arrived his Pack.Alex suddenly felt bubbling joy surge through him, making him curse under his breath. She was at it again and he couldn't help but wonder

Alex and Mia rushed to the crime scene, Gerald trailing behind them as he quietly counted his remaining minutes on Earth. He was sure the Alpha would kill him after they saw the damage caused by the 'Red Moon killer' and no one could save him, not even Luna.Alex was fuming when he got to the scene of the murder with Mia throwing up everything she had eaten that morning."Get her out of here," Alex instructed Theo who was at the crime scene when they got there."No no, I'm fine." Mia lied. She wasn't fine. Infact, her stomach felt sick.Alex eyed her closely, clearly not convinced."I am, really," She reassured him, pushing down the vomit that rushed up her throat."Fine," Alex conceded."Gerald, care to explain to me how two more Pack members are dead?" Alex was losing his patience with the man and he was certainly going to end him if he didn't give a good explanation of what the heck had happened."Alpha, we have reason to believe that they were murdered by the Red Moon killer," Ge
"You're not tagging along and that's final," Alex told Mia sternly, not giving room for arguments."You don't get to decide that," Mia retorted stubbornly. They'd been on this for almost five minutes and Alex was quickly getting tired of this bicker."Yes, I do," Alex responded with his eyebrows fused int a deep frown. "Now, be a good girl and return to your chambers."He instructed, getting up from the dinning and making his way to his study. Mia sprang up and followed him."I just want to help and as Luna of this Pack, I should be allowed to-er, encourage." Mia wasn't backing down. She wanted to help catch the Red Moon killer and that was exactly what she was going to do."What the fuck do you want from me?!" Alex stopped abruptly in his tracks, turning to glare at her."Now we're talking," Mia said sweetly, putting on her charms."What I want is quite simple. Let me go with you into the woods so we can catch this bloody killer together and I promise not to get in your way." She neg
Alex was still staring at Mia in confusion as to what he just felt when he embraced her protectively. He wanted to feel it again but he was scared of what he might be pushed to doing to her.He had forgotten where they were as she gazed at him in the same wonder. She had felt it too.He was however snapped back to reality when a second arrow came flying his way with the speed of lightning.Alex caught it in his hand and broke the arrow into two equal parts. He did so swiftly and smoothly that Mia began to questioned if it was one of her numerous fantasy dreams of him or reality.Alex traced the angle from where the arrow had come from and saw the same man in a black mask that covered only his eyes and nose. Alex was certain the man was the Red Moon killer.Alex was about to take off towards him when the man vanished into thin air."Oh, my goddess!" Mia panicked after witnessing the man's disappearing 'stunt' as Alex would usually call it."Did you-did you?" She stammered, pointing at
