The woman's body floated lifelessly in the water, gently rocked by the waves.On the yacht above, Luna Jael screamed in terror and called out to her mate for assistance. The man didn’t hesitate and dove into the water, swiftly swimming toward the unconscious woman. Upon reaching her, he pulled her onto a life raft and immediately began performing CPR. "Come on, breathe!" he yelled, as he rhythmically compressed her chest. His mate hurried over to them, tears streaming down her face and hands gripping her pregnant belly anxiously.As the minutes dragged on, feeling like an eternity, the lifeless woman coughed up water at last and began sputtering for air. The man let out a sigh of relief as he kept her head above water until they safely returned to the yacht."Why... why did you do this?" Jael stammered, her voice weak and trembling. "What were you thinking?"The man's eyes flared with anger."Your reckless actions could have cost you your life and put my mate and unborn pup in danger
Three faces turned towards Alpha Artic as he delivered his statement with complete conviction, condemning his fellow Alphas."Although I myself revere the mate bond, I firmly believe it must be completely mutual. It should never turn into a prison if it's not beneficial for both individuals involved."Jerney nodded with a serious expression. "Exactly, that's why the situation has escalated. The Council meeting was highly charged. Becca is currently at Moon Shine with her new mate, Elyon. Their Luna ceremony takes place tonight."Alpha Artic's eyes opened wide in surprise. "Elyon? How did this happen? Becca was supposed to be with Zane, not trapped in another bond."Jerney let out a deep sigh. "The Moon Goddess moves in mysterious ways. Becca and Elyon are second chance mates, yet the bond remains weak for Becca. Despite her rejection, Elyon is resolute in not accepting it, he’s determined to make her his Luna."Artic clenched his fists, the muscles in his jaw tensing. "This is insane.
The following day, Zane was a man on the edge.Desperation clawed at him at the thought that Becca was now bound to another Alpha. He was sure she didn’t approve of this, she loved only him and was already on her way back home. The image of her being forced into a life she didn't want haunted him relentlessly. Every fiber of his being screamed that he needed to act, that she might be in danger.He couldn't just sit back and wait for her to return. He had to do something. His mind raced with scenarios, each more troubling than the last. What if Elyon mistreated her? What if Becca was desperately trying to escape, waiting for him to come to her rescue? Zane's heart pounded in his chest as fear and worry threatened to overwhelm him.He paced his living room, running his fingers through his hair as he mulled over his next move. His usually sharp mind felt clouded with anxiety, but he forced himself to think clearly. The walls of the room appeared to close in on him, stifling him under the
Becca swallowed hard, desperately trying to suppress the panic that was rising in her.She realized she had to fulfill her role, yet the situation felt overwhelmingly real. These ancient vows held deep and meaningful significance; it seemed sinful to misuse them for her own selfish purposes. But right now, she had no other choice left.“I do,” she said shakily, her voice barely above a whisper.“And do you, Alpha Elyon, promise to honor and protect your Luna, to lead with integrity and compassion, and to uphold the values of our pack?”“I do,” Elyon replied, his grip on Becca’s hand tightening. He stared at her blissfully, knowing there was no going back for her at this point. The vows were sacred, and even the Council would not be able to lift them.The Elder continued with the ceremonial rites, but Becca’s mind was elsewhere. She scanned the room, looking for any sign of Jonas or her parents. She needed to know that they were ready to execute their plan.Finally, the Elder concluded
For two days, Becca stayed in hiding, her heart twinged with every sound that reached her ears. The dense forest provided some shelter, but the constant fear of being discovered kept her on edge. She lay low beneath the thick canopy of trees, her wolf senses heightened, listening for any sign of danger.The first night was the hardest.As the moon rose high in the sky, Elyon's mournful howl echoed through the trees, sending shivers down her spine. The sound of his sorrowful cry pierced the silence, and Becca's heart ached. She could feel the pull of the mate bond, a reminder of the vow she had taken. Despite everything, a part of her felt his anguish, but she knew she couldn't turn back.Now that she was Luna, the mind link with the Moon Shine pack was also open. The sudden influx of voices was overwhelming, and she could hear the chaos and shouts of the pack members. The loss of their Luna was a hard blow, they all were near a breakdown.‘The Luna is missing! We must find her! Everyo
"Oh, Becca, I thought I'd lost you," Zane murmured, his voice trembling with emotion."Never! I knew we would meet again, but I never imagined it would happen so soon and here,” Becca whispered, her voice breaking. "I missed you so much. How did you end up here, and where is our pup?"Becca clung to him out of sheer joy.“He’s with my father. I was on my way to Jerney and Alpha Artic, my friend. I encountered a roadblock, and the officers took me here for interrogation. They wanted to know where you are, suspecting that you were with me.”Zane grabbed her hand tightly. "We need to be careful," he stated. "Elyon won't stop looking for you. We have to stay one step ahead."After the initial bliss of their reunion, a sobering reality settled over Becca and Zane. The joy of finding each other after such a harrowing ordeal was palpable, but the danger that surrounded them was undeniable.Zane's expression turned serious as he recounted his experience. "Becca, those men who detained me, I h
Alpha Elyon was in a rage!His fury knew no bounds as he rampaged through the pack, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. Becca had been missing for four days now, and no one had been able to track her down. Every time a patrol returned with zero results, his frustration grew. It annoyed him to no end, and he knew it wouldn't be long before he started killing.The Alpha was starting to show signs of insanity, and the pack members knew it. After the death of his mate, the damaged mate bond could have saved him from collapse because of his strong attraction to Becca. But now that even Becca had left and tried to reject him, his sanity couldn't handle it."A she-wolf! And I have invested millions of dollars in your training, clothing, and equipment," he snapped at his Beta, Jake, who came with more bad news. "You are worthless! You can't even track a woman. What kind of werewolves are you?!"He half-shifted, his fangs coming out as he stared at Beta Jake with bloodshot eyes."If I
In a secluded clearing in the forest, Jerney and Artic paused to catch their breath.They were once again busy combing the entire area in search of Becca. The forest was dense, the underbrush thick with foliage that made every step a cautious one. They knew she would flee through the woods to reach any big city to blend in.They had been searching for days, especially after Becca didn't show up at the airstrip. Then Jonas confirmed that she had left the pack in a car, but all contact had been lost. He also said that Elyon had followed her and her car had crashed into a ravine, but her body had not been found. Elyon knew for sure that she wasn't dead because he had picked up her scent in the woods but had lost her trail. The Alpha then went on a rampage in Moon Shine after many search parties had failed.The Alphas knew they had to find Becca as soon as possible and bring her to safety. Staying on the yacht was better than in a big city where she would definitely encounter a wolf.The
Upon arriving at the airport, Artic lingered, seemingly wasting time. Even Jael appeared unhurried, they were chatting casually as if they had all the time in the world. Becca watched them impatiently, wondering if their sluggish pace was an intentional ploy to make her miss the flight. When she tried to assist him with a bag, he declined her help."Hey, what's going on with you?" she asked, sounding annoyed. "If you keep this up, I'll miss my flight. Please hurry."Artic nodded but continued to move at a slow pace. Upon finally reaching the check-in line, Becca realized that something was amiss."Hey, Artic, are you trying to make me miss my flight? First, you were holding us up and now you're heading toward the wrong line. You're really distracted," she remarked with a hint of annoyance. Artic paused and gave her an odd look."Are you sure this is the right entrance for our airline? Double-check your ticket," he advised. Becca responded with an eye roll."This entrance is for the fl
After the guests recovered from their initial shock, they slowly made way.Everyone moved aside, leaving two individuals in the middle of the room, staring at each other. The most remarkable thing about them was that one was an Alpha and the other was a ... human girl!They just kept glancing at each other, the Alpha's face first showing shock before it gave way to immense joy. But the woman stared at him with wide eyes as if she was still coming to terms with what had happened to her.It was Alpha Johnston!And he had met his second chance mate!And she was a human!She was average in appearance, not the outstanding beauty you usually meet in packs. But she had an hourglass figure, narrow hips and slender legs that made her worth a second look. Her white-blond hair was tied high above her head and fell straight down her back to her firm rear.Gasps of awe were wafting through the air, followed by the room buzzing with murmurs. It was as if the soap opera of Alex and Becca was repeati
The Council had decided to have Jonas installed as Alpha of Moon Shine and Johnston for Paxton in Full Moon, Jerney's pack in Canada.This decision was made for efficiency, otherwise, the same installation procedure would have to be done twice at different locations. The plan was that when the new Alphas returned to their respective packs, there would be a party to celebrate their appointments.Luna Becca traveled with the future Alphas in Jerney's helicopter now headed towards Full Moon. The hum of the helicopter's blades filled the air as they flew over the vast forests of Canada. It was such a calming image, nature in werewolf culture is a symbol of survival."It's quite an honor, isn't it?" Jonas remarked, glancing at Johnston.Johnston nodded, a grateful look in his eyes."Indeed. But it's also a heavy responsibility. We need to restore peace in our packs and ensure nothing like what happened with Becca ever happens again. Alex will serve as an example of how obsessive love can b
A chaotic situation erupted as wolves that had been following Elyon appeared on the scene.The sudden break in the link with their Alpha was felt both in Moon Shine and Paxton, signaling to everyone that Elyon had met his end. The wolves in the packs awaited the details with bated breath, unsure of what had transpired.Jerney and Artic quickly moved to tend to the wounded. Zane and Clea lay unconscious on the ground, their injuries severe. Blood pooled beneath them, staining the earth."Call an ambulance, now!" Jerney barked to Artic, urgency lacing his voice.Artic fumbled with his phone, his fingers trembling as he dialed for help."We need an ambulance immediately. Two injured, severe condition. Confidentiality is crucial."The paramedics arrived shortly, loading Zane and Clea onto stretchers. Becca stayed close to Zane, her heart breaking at the sight of his battered body. She clutched his hand tightly, tears streaming down her face as she begged the Moon Goddess to spare him, rem
All three men shifted back to human form.Elyon's eyes burned with a crazed fury as he snarled at Becca, who stood defiantly between him and Zane."You think you can escape me, Becca? You think I won't hunt you down to the ends of the earth? Wrong, mate! I will always find you, wherever you hide.". "I'm not your property, Elyon. I won't go back with you." Becca's voice was steady, but her eyes betrayed her fear. She knew Elyon was dangerous in this condition.Elyon's growl was low and menacing."You have no choice. You are mine, and you will always be mine. You better get used to that."Jerney and Artic moved to stand beside Becca and Zane, their presence a united front against Elyon's madness."Elyon, stop this!" Alpha Artic commanded. "You're out of control. This isn't the way to handle things."Elyon's gaze shifted to his colleague, his fangs bared."You dare to defy me? You think you can protect her from me? She is my mate! Nothing can change that. We already had the Luna ceremon
