Moon Goddess POVI made my way through many dreams until I reached the one I intended to. And my what a... uh... an interesting dream. I mostly see food everywhere. After much searching, I finally found the Alpha I was looking for. She seemed to be enjoying herself and did not notice me approaching her.“What an interesting dream you are having, Alpha. Most people dream of things they do not have but wish to obtain. But I assume you are not one of them.”Her startled expression amused me. Oh my, it would seem that I nearly scared her to death. But I do not blame her, she did not expect someone else to be here. And it is not every day, or rather night, that the Moon Goddess herself visits your dream.“You’re…”“Yes. But please, call me Luna.”“Isn't it supposed to be Selene?”“I just like the name Luna more than Selene.”“Sorry, it just makes you sound...”“As though I am an Alpha's mate? I am well aware of that, but I do not mind. Have you ever wondered why Alphas' mates are called Lu

Twilight POVAs I pulled up to our destination, I realised that I had no clue what I'm going to say to Toshi. It's too late to back out now so I might as well see this through to the end. It’s not as if I had a choice because the wonderful thing that I'm supposed to call my brain decided to make my legs move without my permission and before I knew it, I was ringing the doorbell. Thanks a lot, brain.The last person I expected to answer was Toshi. He really grew up. Hell, he's really been hitting it up in the growth department. I’ll be honest, I’m a little jealous that he’s taller than me. He’s a little on the lanky side but he'll probably grow out of it. Sure, I can't pick him up like I used to, but it's a small price to pay. I mean, I can but it’d look very weird.“Mom!”Puberty is clearly not showing him any mercy with that sort of but not quite scratchy-sounding voice. I actually had to keep myself from laughing. It would’ve also been a little mean since he didn’t ask for that to h

Twilight POVYou'd think that I'd be angry or something close to that, but I just laughed as if I'd just heard the best joke of all time. It was the kind of laugh that made your stomach hurt and had you wheezing. The kind where you'd even start crying.I should probably stop because he's looking at me as if I've finally lost it and belong in a mental institution. And my stomach was starting to hurt too.“Don’t mind me. I was just laughing at the bittersweetness of the situation. Believe me, you'd be laughing too if you were in my shoes.”“Aren't you upset?”“No.” I shrugged. “I've already made it clear to your brother that I want nothing to do with him.”“Are you sure?”“Yeah, you don't have to worry about me. I'm fine.”Actually, it stung a little. But I can get over it. It’s not as if I ever expected him to put his life on hold for me or whatever.“Oh.” He went quiet for a while. “How is Oreo?”“Do you want the full story or…”“I think the full story would be better.”“Well, a few m

Twilight POV“I thought I’d at least have to buy you dinner a few times before that ever happened,” He said.“Funny, but no. I’m serious.”“What brought it on?”“It’s more of a contract marriage, under pack laws obviously. You don’t have a mate and your pack is probably pushing for you to have one, right?”“Yes, but…”“Ok. I don’t have any interest in finding one myself so no issues from my side. I’m offering marriage as a form of truce and trade between our packs. The only catch is that I don’t want to sleep with you and we’re not going to share a living space. In other words, we’ll stay in our respective packs and live separate lives. It also means no marking and no mating ceremony. That being said, it’s an open marriage and I won’t care whom you’ll fool around with. But have the decency to cover your tracks because I will not let you humiliate me or get away with it. Also, we’re not telling anyone who we’re married to until after we get the marriage certificate. If you somehow find

Twilight POV“Twilight, do you think I'll ever find my mate?” Mitsu asked.“Yeah. It’s just a matter of time.”“But it’s taking forever. I'm starting to wonder if he even exists. What if he’s still in diapers or worse, still in the womb?”“I think you’re being a little paranoid and impatient. Anyway, you're always trying to set me up with someone, so I think it's time you use your matchmaking skills on yourself.”“I guess I'll think about it. Anyway, I should get going.”“Before you go, can you take Natsumi to her room for me? I'd prefer it if she naps in her crib instead of on the couch at least once in a while.”“Sure.”I burped her before giving her to Mitsu, along with Frank of course. Can't forget that these two are a package deal.“Bye, Mama.” She waved sleepily and her eyes were already half-closed. It was so cute that it melted my heart. It's not wrong for me to wish that she never grows up, right? I mean, she's the only pup I have so it isn't.That wholesome moment was cut sh

Twilight POVDuring the meeting, in the so-called ‘Great Room’, everyone was reluctant to agree with him being here, especially Mitsu's parents. But after explaining the entire situation and coming up with a few solutions, we reached a comprise. I then mind-linked the whole pack about a meeting tomorrow.I’ve always wondered why it was called the ‘Great Room’ instead of the ‘Conference Room’ since there’s nothing great about it except that it’s where the pack’s higher-ups have meetings. If anything, the Throne Room, or Grand Hall should’ve been called the ‘Great Room’ but whatever. We’re all used to it so there’s no point in changing it.“How could you?” Mitsu asked after the meeting.“In case you haven't noticed, it's the only solution there is, and he agreed to it himself. I don't see what the problem is.”“Of course, you don't because you didn't think about how I'd feel knowing that my best friend is going to torture my mate. I know you're looking out for me but just because your f

Later that night…Twilight POV“Lovely night we're having, isn't it?”I turned around only to find Alex sitting by the window.“And you could've used the door like a normal person,” I told him.“I'm not normal and the window is much faster.”“And pretty much the easiest way to get hurt.”“But I didn't.”“The guards could've mistaken you for someone trying to break in.”“Not if I told them I was going to do this and asked for permission.”“And they just let you?”“Does mind control count?”“Obviously not.”“In other news, you really should make sure that your window is shut properly at this time. You never know who might pop in through it.”“Thanks for the practical example, but some of us like letting in fresh air while we're working. And I was going to shut it once I was done. What are you doing here anyway?”“I said that I'd think about what you said but not that I wouldn't try my luck. That being said, would you like to join me on a walk?”“Did you seriously come through the window

Twilight POVThe next day, I went to visit Shin after the meeting.“I came to tell you what your verdict is. Unfortunately for you, you got collaring.”“I think deep down, I knew it was coming.”“If it makes you feel better, it’s a whole lot better than I had planned for you. And your sentence is three weeks long and starts in half hour so use that time to mentally prepare yourself or whatever else you want to do. You’ll still get food and water.”“Alright. I’m going to take a chance and ask where your mate is.”“Who said that I have one?”“You have a pup, don't you?”“Says who?”“Well, anyone would think that if they set foot into your office for the first time. There were a lot of toys and baby stuff lying around.”To be fair, keys and her own toes aren't good enough as a distraction anymore. And it doesn't always look like that. Usually, everything is packed into a corner, that is until Natsumi gets her hands on them. Why she likes coming in there to play with her toys or take a na
