Want to know why I'm sitting here facing the Alpha I hate the most?Stupidity. Meddling. Unfounded loyalty. Laxity. And if all this isn't enough to get me into more trouble, I don't know what is. 'Cause everything in me tells me this is so wrong, I stepped with eyes open wide into a trap, one that could close behind me at any moment. And then my life will get really complicated. It must be the Luna in me who wants to stand up for the weak. At least, if you can count Clarita among them.Going to her party was definitely not a good idea.She wanted to dominate me, prove she could organize a better one than my birthday bash. That's why she made sure that everything was so well organized, that the most expensive drinks and snacks were available. She wasn't afraid to prostitute herself to the Alpha to get it all done.And when I was at the party, I opened up to Alpha Glary. Bad idea!He has seen my kindness as a peace pipe after his hunt for me. I can’t believe this man; everyone in Silver
Still Mercedes' POV.Most certainly, the Alpha's words really surprised me.I was not prepared for this. I stare at him open-mouthed, dumbfounded. “Alpha, your Luna?” I asked to make sure I heard the exact same words from his mouth. "But wouldn't you wait until next year to find her?" I remind him.He tries to take my hand, but I pull back. “I meant that I would wait for you,” he explains. “It’s not sure if Midnight Moon's Alpha is really your destined mate. It may be me. The way my wolf is pleased with you, I believe you are my mate”, he states confidently. Only now do I panic. Having Alpha Glary as a mate is the worst thing I can think of for my future.I shake my head in shock. "No! That's not possible," I stammer. “Zane is my mate, I'm very sure of that. We belong to each other". I jump up now and take a few steps back. “Whatever happens, I'll stay with Zane. If you turn out to be my mate, you can prepare for my rejection. No way!” I turn and start to walk away. It's a long way
Alpha Glary's POV No sooner has Mercedes arrived home than my phone buzzes.A text from Clarita, who asks about her money. ‘Alpha, mission completed. Please pay up'. With a sigh, I go to the mobile bank app and transfer the agreed amount to her account right away. This devil has earned two hundred thousand American dollars in two days.Clarita is the most worthless girlfriend Mercedes can ever have. She is terribly jealous of Mercedes, might actually kill her friend for her happiness. And yet this good woman stuck out her neck to save a friend like this. I could see from everything that Mercedes didn't want to date me, she would never have gone with me voluntarily. That’s why I stoop so low to hire Clarita for my plan.Clarita and I put together this whole drama. The goal was to get Mercedes closer to me, take her on a date as soon as the Alpha was out of the picture. Then I would court her so that she would consider me a serious candidate now or next year on her eighteen birthday.A
Alpha Glary's POVWhen I get to school the following day, I don't see Mercedes' car anywhere.A slight smile comes over my face, this looks so good. I keep waiting for the school bell to ring and for Clarita to meet me. Now that she doesn't have to pretend to be friendly or Mercedes' girlfriend, the evil grin is pinned to her face.“Alpha, Mercedes hasn't arrived at school yet. But Zane arrived in a helicopter last night and I think the two are now in a big fight. I’m waiting for the breaking news,” she grins contentedly. “While you're waiting for Mercedes to throw herself in your arms, I think I'm going to comfort the Alpha. He will want to prove that he can live without her and spoil me well to make her jealous.”Clarita doesn't shine in the intelligence department, but this stupidity, really, I've never ever heard of such nonsense out of someone's mouth. Heartbreak doesn't work the way she thinks, believe me! I’m a witness to that. But it’s okay, as long as she can keep the Alpha a
Alpha Zane's POV As we drove to the school parking lot, we could already see the Alpha on the lookout in the distance. To see him there impatiently waiting is a confirmation to me that he is after all this drama. I'm so damn sure he expected my mate to arrive at school alone today. And getting out, I just felt his eagerness to sprint towards her, the longing in his eyes betrayed what he was up to. And then that fake girlfriend came running, I still can't understand how Mercedes doesn't realize that this girl is bad news. The venom dripped from Clarita's face. Before I left my pack, I had the ICT men trace where all those videos were uploaded and by who. And of course, they came from this so-called girlfriend's phone. I didn't tell Mercedes about it, for me it was important that we were able to prove again that our relationship has a firm basis. Mercedes didn’t lie about anything when I stood in front of her, she just spilled all the beans. We have an agreement that she can tell me
Alpha Glary’s POV.After this major blow from Alpha Zane, I understand that I need to lay low for a more extended period. To hide my disappointment, I'm going full throttle now as I drive towards the exit of the pack territory. When I drive up the main road, I notice that it is almost deserted. Exactly what I need! I race at high speed to nowhere. Lucky for me, this morning I chose my Audi Sports so the car could withstand my torture. The speed and strong wind are just what I need to balance my mood. After an hour's drive, I come across a service station with a cafeteria.With a sigh I park and get out.My body feels heavy, the disappointment of hearing the woman of my dreams in the arms of another man, moaning with pleasure, has exhausted my mind. I step into the cafeteria, look around and see that it is not really busy. Lasagna, that's the choice I make. This is my beloved's favorite dish and so it became mine too. Sitting down to wait to be served, I notice my wolf getting restles
All the way back to the pack I had to listen to all kinds of name-calling from my wolf, Kiba. He's scolding me for everything, from adulterer to bastard and lousy Alpha. ‘Tell me, Glary. How can you banish your own fated mate, not even make any effort to find her? Then chase after another's mate, risk a war between packs?’ he hounds me.But I keep ignoring him, my decision is irreversible! None other than Mercedes will be the Luna of Silver Moon. Not one fated mate that has left me in limbo for years, not taken any action to meet me and now thinks she will thwart my plans. In her dreams! Not to yield to my wolf's insistence, Now I hit the accelerator again. The faster I get into the pack and get to my regular workload, the less time I have to listen to his nagging. ‘At least you could have requested the CCTV footage. I would have recognized her. You need to give her a chance to explain why she's been away so long, Alpha. Why do you run like a loser?’ he pushes his luck one level fu
Saphira's POVMy loyalty to my pack forces me to act.Glary is really wrong with what he's doing now. Leaving the pack to stalk Mercedes next year while his own fated mate waits for him is definitely not the right way to get revenge. My bestie is hurt, feeling abandoned by his mate after waiting four years. Everyone wants to find their mate at eighteen, but it doesn't always work out that way. Some are lucky, but others must wait until the Moon Goddess deems the time right. My mood is immediately boosted by the knowledge that my pack has a future Luna, a real one appointed by Selene herself. My heart is beating with joy, I'm sure when Glary meets her his attitude about life will change. He thinks he loves Mercedes, but I know he's jealous of her strong bond with her mate. Seeing them in the pack so happily together while he has lost faith in his own mate, haunts him. But forcing Mercedes to accept him hoping that she will love him as much as Alpha Zane is just daydreaming. Nothing wi
