Could She Be My Mate?

Juan reluctantly checked the girl's pulse and sighed. At least she was out of danger. Or else his own life would have been on the line. Turning back to his Alpha, he muttered, "She is fine. The only reason she isn't waking up is that her body needs to heal internally."

Ace looked down at the girl he had rescued two days ago and nodded. He did not know why but when he had seen her collapse, his wolf had almost gone crazy. For a minute he wondered if she was his mate but he would only be able to find that out after she turned eighteen.

Before that, there were other things to be puzzled about. The fact that she smelled human but her healing and the way she fought with those rogues made it clear that she was not a simple human. There was also the extreme reluctance in Juan when he had ordered him to treat her. Juan was someone who would do his best to treat anyone with the slightest sickness and this was the first time he had actually refused to help without a direct command from him.

As Ace pondered this, Healer Juan spoke," Now that she is out of danger, we can just leave her here and be on our way. The pack will be in danger if you don't return soon."

Ace threw one glance at the unconscious girl and then at his most trusted comrade before marching out of the small cottage with a single sentence," Not until you explain."

Healer Juan sighed and rubbed his head. He did not want to explain. Knowing the Alpha, the explanation would definitely make him do exactly the opposite of what he wanted. But it wasn't as if he had a choice.

"Alpha please."

Ace shook his head at the plea, " Do I need to repeat my question or give you an order?"

Juan mumbled under his breath but then explained," The person inside is a born Luna!"

Juan expected his Alpha to be shocked by this but the man simply looked confused so Juan sighed, "There is a reason you need to pay attention to werewolf lore, Alpha!"

"The girl inside is the Luna of the Snowheart Pack. How could you not see the moon and snowflake birthmark on her calf?"

Juan sighed in relief when the Alpha's eyes lit up with recognition and hoped that the Alpha would now agree to return. They were supposed to be on vacation but until now, this vacation had included fighting with rogues, taking over a neighbouring pack and saving the dangerous Luna!

Meanwhile, Ace turned away and walked back into the cottage, leaving the healer perplexed. They were supposed to run in the other direction!

Ace looked down at the girl who was sleeping peacefully. Her face was pale and her long beautiful hair seemed to be a mess. But even then, she looked alluring and innocent. Crystal Snowheart.

Her name was already well known in the werewolf world. Apart from the many mysterious qualities that the Snowheart pack boasted or rather hid, their young Luna was the most talked about.

While her pack was wiped by rogues a decade ago, she had been the only one who had survived. Usually, werewolf children grew like humans till they reached the age of eighteen after which their wolves revealed themselves to them.

But Crystal Snowheart had been born in the wolf form! The first female born to the Snowheart Pack after a thousand years. And the first werewolf to be born a wolf in the existence of werewolves.

This girl had taken the form of her wolf at the age of six and wiped more than a dozen rogues after her family had suffered at their hands?

Unable to stop himself, Ace sat down next to her on the bed and slowly ran a finger along her cheek. So soft. It seemed unbelievable that she could kill so easily.

And yet, he had seen her fight the wolves. As he stared at her, he heard his wolf growl," Mate."

Ace stilled at the word. His wolf- Doyen was not one to throw around the word casually. And what did he mean by this? If she was their mate, then he would have known immediately. Why would Doyen wait two days?"

"Doyen? What do you mean? Do you think she is our mate?"

Usually, mates could recognise each other only after they turned eighteen and the wolf made itself known. But if she was born with a wolf...

Before Doyen could answer though, Ace found himself looking into the most beautiful hazel eyes he had ever seen...
