When I arrived at the Garson Pack, I was thrilled to see how beautiful it was. Before me stood a magnificent forest with tall trees that seemed to reach for the sky. It was like something out of a fairy tale. When I walked into the center of the pack, I was greeted by Alpha Arnie and his wife, Luna Isabella.
Alpha Arnie was a towering figure, with broad shoulders and piercing blue eyes. His wife, Luna Isabella, was breathtakingly beautiful, with long black hair that cascaded down her back in waves. They were both incredibly welcoming and showed me around the pack, introducing me to some of the other wolves. As we walked, I was struck by how friendly and welcoming everyone was. Even the youngest members of the pack, like little Peggy, were eager to say hello and make me feel at home. Peggy was a little doll, with big beautiful green eyes and pigtails tied up with pink bows. She was dressed in a pretty pink dress with white sequins all over it, and her shoes were pink with white dots on them. When I crouched down to her level, she greeted me with a big smile and held her arms up. "I'm Peggy, and my age is almost four. I am a big girl," she said, her little voice tinged with excitement. She was the cutest little thing I had ever seen, and I couldn't help but smile at her sweet innocence. As I followed Alpha Arnie and Luna Isabella through the pack, I felt a sense of belonging that I had never felt before. These wolves were going to be like family to me, and I knew that I was going to love my time here at the Garson Pack. “It’s a beautiful place, I’m so pleased you could give me this wonderful opportunity.” I gushed happily causing them both to smile and nod. Alpha Arnie and Luna Isabella continued to show me around the pack, pointing out all the different areas and introducing me to other members of the pack. They were so warm and welcoming, and I felt like I was already a part of the Garson Pack family. As the sun began to set, Alpha Arnie turned to me and said, "We should start heading back now. It's getting late, and we don't want to keep you out too long on your first day here." I nodded, feeling a little tired after such an eventful day. "Thank you both for showing me around. I had a great time, and I'm really looking forward to meeting your son tomorrow." Luna Isabella smiled at me. "We're glad to have you here, and we're excited for you to meet our boy. He's a wonderful young wolf, and we know you'll get along great." With that, we said our goodbyes, and I made my way back to my cabin. As I settled in for the night, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the warm welcome I had received from the Garson Pack. I knew that I was going to have an amazing experience here, and I couldn't wait to see what the future held. I can imagine Kels and Jax walking alongside me, admiring the gorgeous scenery and feeling the warmth of the Garson Pack's hospitality. The sense of family and community here is so strong and welcoming, I know they would feel right at home. It's been such a fantastic experience, and I can't wait to share all the details with them. From the friendly members to the beautiful surroundings, I'm sure they'll be so jealous that they missed out on being here with me. I'm really looking forward to catching up with them and telling them all about my adventures here. I was so startled by the sound of screeching tires and shouting that I jolted awake in a panic. It was such a sudden and intense experience, my heart was racing and my mind was racing trying to figure out what was happening. It was hard to process everything that was going on in that moment, and it left me feeling really shaken up. Everything happened so fast, and my mind was racing with a million different thoughts and emotions. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest as I tried to make sense of what was happening. At first, I was frightened and ready to defend myself against this intruder, but as the stranger approached me, I was hit with the most beautiful scent I had ever smelled. It was like nothing I had ever experienced before, and it was so overwhelming that I almost forgot about my fear. And then, my wolf began to howl, confirming what I already knew deep down--this stranger was my mate. It was a moment that I had dreaded for so long, and now that it was finally here, I didn't know how to react. It was a surreal and confusing experience, and I didn't know what to do next. Alpha Arnie burst through the door with a commanding presence that instantly took over the room. “What’s happened? Hallie, are you ok?” His eyes locked onto me, and then to the stranger, and for a moment, he hesitated. But then, his face broke into a smile that lit up the entire room, and he rushed over to the stranger, embracing him like an old friend. I watched in stunned disbelief--what was going on here? And then, Alpha Arnie uttered the words that made my heart stop in its tracks--"Hallie, meet Hugh. My son." I couldn't believe what I was hearing--this stranger, who had just broken into my room, was Alpha Arnie's son, and he was my mate! My mind was reeling with questions and confusion, and I didn't know how to react. I stared at Hugh in disbelief, trying to make sense of everything that was happening. “So, you’re Hallie?” He smirked and wouldn’t take his eyes off me. My wolf was going crazy while I was trying to make sense of everything. I came here to train and yet I had found the one person that I didn’t want to ever meet.I stood there, feeling all pairs of eyes on me, as if I were on display. Their gazes bore into me, waiting for my reaction. I was at a loss for words. What the hell was I meant to say? I barely knew them, and now I had just found out their son was my mate. The mate that I never wanted. All I wanted was to train and become the warrior I had always dreamt of. This was my worst nightmare come true. “Well?” My so-called mate grinned at me with his hands in his pockets, as if he knew that I was struggling. I glared at him, feeling a surge of anger and frustration. He must be so arrogant, I thought to myself. I wanted to reject him there and then, but his parents were watching me excitedly. They were obviously pleased their son had found his mate. I, on the other hand, was not pleased. I pinched myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. It all felt so surreal. I had always heard stories about finding your mate, but I never expected it to happen to me. And now that it had, I didn't know
I'm so excited to finally start my warrior training at the Garson pack, but as soon as I wake up, I feel the weight of what happened last night. My mate is the son of the alpha and Luna, and their excitement about our match is almost too much for me to handle. I'm not sure how to feel about the situation, but I know that I can't just reject him. It would be a betrayal to the pack and to his family. I groan and throw my head back onto the pillow, wondering how I got myself into this mess. The knock on the door is loud and insistent, and I know that it's him. My wolf is going crazy, but I can't bring myself to feel the same way. I'm annoyed that he's always around, pestering me about our match. My father would be thrilled that my mate is the son of such a strong pack, and my mother would be ecstatic, but I'm not sure how to deal with these intense emotions. As I get up and get ready for the day, I can't help but feel like I'm stuck in a love triangle. I wish that I could just tal
I wasn't sure about Delia and Janie. They had always given me bad vibes, and I didn't trust them. I decided it was better to avoid them, even though I knew they were friends with Hugh. I didn't want to get involved in their drama or whatever unfinished business they had with him. I was perfectly happy on my own, and I didn't need any more complications in my life. But then the moon goddess had to go and pair me with Hugh. Of all people, why did it have to be him? It sucked that I had to have my mate here of all places, in this town where everyone knew everyone else's business. I couldn't escape him even if I wanted to. "I can't believe this is happening," I said to myself, staring up at the full moon. "Why did the moon goddess have to do this to me?" I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't even notice when Hugh walked up behind me. "Hey," he said, his voice soft and hesitant. "Are you okay?" I turned to face him, feeling a mix of anger and frustration. "No, I'm not okay,"
As I made my way up the stairs, Delia's words echoed in my head. "We don't want you here as our future Luna. You know I'm the beta's daughter, and me and Hughy are destined to be together." I rolled my eyes and let out a heavy sigh. This girl was really something else. I could imagine if Kels was here, she would have knocked Delia to the ground by now. But I had to behave. I didn't want to be forced back to my own pack and have my training opportunity taken away from me. Not for her or anyone. Who did she think she was? A bossy brat that thought she was a number one princess? Well, unfortunately for her, I was the one fated to her precious little crush. It was also obvious that he didn't feel that way about her. She was jealous, and it was embarrassing how childish she was being. I wondered what Hugh could have ever seen in this sorry excuse for a shewolf, especially being the daughter of the beta. I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. I couldn't let Delia get to me
I was lucky being the daughter of an alpha, it meant I healed fast and I was grateful to my wolf for being so quick to heal us since it meant I could continue my training the next day. Luna Isabella sat on the edge of the bed and we talked for a while longer. I felt at ease around her and was glad that Hugh had decided to leave me to rest. "I know you're worried about your training," Luna Isabella said, "but you can't ignore your heart. Being close to Hugh will make you stronger, and he needs you just as much as you need him." I looked up at her, still unsure. "But what if I mess up? What if I'm not good enough?" Luna Isabella smiled warmly. "The moon goddess has a plan for you, my dear. You just have to trust in her and in yourself. You are destined for greatness, and nothing can change that." The knock on the door made me look up and seeing Delia sent my wolf into a fit of growls, I closed her off knowing that Delia would not try anything stupid in front of the Luna.
"No," I firmly stated, a determined gleam in my eyes as I looked at Hugh. "I won't be heading out with you just yet. Instead, I've decided to remain here for a while longer to delve deeper into my training regime. Perhaps afterwards, I might even go for an invigorating run, allowing my wolf within me the chance to roam freely." With a measured pause, I twirled a small strand of grass between my fingers, observing it with intense scrutiny. It was evident that my decision disappointed Hugh, his excitement waning visibly. Yet, I couldn't afford to let this undeniable mate bond compromise the dedication and focus I had poured into my training. My resolve was unshakeable; I was determined to excel in my chosen path, not allowing distractions to deter me from reaching my full potential. Deep down, I recognized the significance of my bond with Hugh, but for now, my pursuit of mastery in my training took priority. I firmly believed that the concept of a mate bond was nothing more than
"Still here then!" Delia shoved me into the wall, and I wanted to smack the life out of her, but I composed myself. I would have been six feet under. Janie stood by her side, her expression mirroring Delia's disapproval. I took a deep breath, steadying myself. The newfound confidence I had gained from my conversation with my father still lingered, bolstering my resolve. "Delia, Janie," I began, my voice steady and calm. "I understand that you may not agree with my decision, but it is my choice." Delia scoffed, her eyes rolling dramatically. "Your choice? You're throwing away the chance to be a Luna for some warrior training." I met her gaze, unfaltering. "Delia, just because something is traditional doesn't mean it's the right path for everyone. I've spent my whole life conforming to my expectations and realized I must follow my dreams and passions." Janie crossed her arms, her face a mask of scepticism. "But what about the bond? The security, the connection it provides?"
My heart was pounding in my chest as I neared the door of my bedroom and Lydia was restless but yet I was exhausted and just wanted to curl up in bed and fall asleep. Hugh had just gone off and left me to look for Delia when it was quite clear that she was just playing games for his attention. She knew exactly what she was doing and I hated the fact that it bothered me so much. Luna Isabella knocked on my door and entered. Coming over to me, she perched herself on the edge of the bed. “Hallie, I'm so sorry if you were in any way upset over that situation. However Delia is also hurting from knowing that she cannot be with Hugh since you and Hugh are fated mates. Me and Alpha Arnie would really appreciate it if you could at least try to get along with Delia. Please.” I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart. Luna Isabella's words echoed in my mind, and a sense of guilt washed over me. Maybe I was being unfair to Delia. After all, she must be going through her own struggl
