Loriann's POV still Aghast, we turn in the direction of the voice. And there we see a witch standing there, staring at us with raised eyebrows, waiting for an answer. "Hey, I didn't know there was a coven so close to the pack. You, Meg?" I ask my friend in surprise. But she too stares at the witch as if she were a ghost. She shakes her head in denial. " Nah. It took Xanna two days to reach Eclipse Howl. And our warriors would surely have picked up her scent so close to our border". And then the woman starts laughing. "Come out and introduce yourselves nicely," she calls out to us. "I've lived here for additionally five years, I even helped the rogues settle here". "The rogues? You lived here with the group?" I ask, wading through the water toward her. She holds out a hand and helps me onto the shore. "Are you looking for the rogues? They broke up a few days ago. To Blue Blood, if I can believe their Alpha," she tells me. "What do tw
Loriann's POV still "Girls, the Alpha and Beta are downstairs. They're waiting for you." The loud voice of Meg's mother startles me from my sleep. Drowsy, I lift my head to her blurry figure in the doorway. "How come you guys are still asleep? It's almost noon already. It is even too late to still be asleep for a weekend". Shaking her head, she looks at Meg and me on the bed. As always, my best friend has snuggled up against my side as I lie on my stomach. Meg slowly starts to move, moaning in displeasure before she is fully awake. "Mum! We're coming. They said they would call us before coming here. Mrs. Smith's mouth is tightening. "I bet they tried. But the ringtones were obviously not loud enough to wake you from your beauty sleep. In any case, don't keep the boys waiting too long. Sighing, we sit up straight and get out of bed. In the bathroom, we brush our teeth and wash our faces so that we can meet the boys decently. Still in ou
Future Alpha Romero's POV There's a reason my mother makes sure my wardrobe is always well-stocked so I can walk around well-dressed. Shopping is not really an activity I enjoy. I would rather sit with my father in his office discussing the affairs of the pack or read a book on the history of the supernatural in the library than scour the malls. But for some reason, I find myself looking forward to this outing with our girls, as Jace calls Meg and Lori. Even Xan, my wolf, is excited, he can't wait for us to start this trip. I realize now that it is Lori who has got him in the mood, this wolf of mine is just crazy about her. Last night she was amazing, we danced as if our lives depended on it. I forgot for a moment that I was the Alpha heir and she was the daughter of the pack doctors. We were just a man and a woman having a good time. Of course, I noticed the steely glances thrown in our direction. It had been years since I'd had so much fun at a party. The DJ altern
Future Alpha Romero's POV Betrayal, anger, disappointment. All sorts of emotions run through me the longer I look at Loriann. She shifts uncomfortably in her seat, probably out of guilt. I can't believe she kept me in the dark all this time. Yes, I remember it all now. Lori saved me from a bad fall on the slide. We were barely five at the time. After that, I was so grateful to her for saving my life that I showered her with gifts almost every day. I shared my food with her, she was my only playmate. We had a good time together, sometimes she would come to the packhouse where we would spend time in the recreation room. And then her parents left the pack, just as Aniyan had mentioned. Crescent Moon had a shortage of medical staff and as part of the cooperation agreement, we offered them some specialists. I remember now how sad I was not to see her again, but she promised to come back when she was older. And she did, three years ago. My God, how could I have forgotten her? And she nev
Loriann's POV It was definitely painful to see that Romero did not remember his promise to me. If Aniyan hadn't reminded him of what happened in preschool, I would still be in the oblivion corner. Even knowing my role in his past, he still couldn't remember his promise to make me his Luna. Every time we had lunch in the school canteen, he told me in his silly way how much he loved me and that we would have lots of puppies together.And here I am in the packhouse, Romero gave me the flat right next to his. I have been living here for almost a week now and I love it a lot. Meg has stayed with me all night and I'm about to ask Romero if she can move in with me. And the Alpha and Beta spend all their spare time with us, especially in the evenings, we can be found in the entertainment room of the packhouse.Tomorrow is Romero's birthday. And the next morning he leaves for two years of Alpha training. I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't miss him. Now that I am closer to him
Loriann's POV I can already hear the gasps of amazement as we walk into the entertainment room.Truth be told, we are quite a sight. No one knows that Meg has already met her fated mate, and the gossip machine in the pack claims that I'm Romero's mistress. And it only gets worse now that he has his hand over my shoulder again.I laugh at the gossip and enjoy the attention he is paying to me. Here in the packhouse, I can keep a better eye on which she-wolf dares to seduce him. Many have already guessed that Louise's disappearance must have something to do with her night with the future Alpha and are keeping their distance. Lucky them. I wouldn't hesitate to jump into action again if any of them got overconfident.Luna Therse does the opening dance with her son and we all stand aside to watch. The woman is so proud of her son, the smile on her face the widest I have ever seen. After the first dance, the Alpha approaches me. I was startled at first, I never thought he would ever take m
My PrerogativeFuture Alpha Romero's POV ‘Did you see her tits, Romero? They felt so good against us. I wonder what they taste like. They must be heavenly.'Xan clicks his tongue several times, his eyes glowing like burning coal. I can't believe what that horny wolf has been up to all this time. From the looks of it, he was fixated on Lori's slowly blossoming curves. 'Don't act like I'm the only one. You were eyeing her yourself. You pressed her much too close to you. Everyone was astonished by your attitude. But of course, you pretended nothing was wrong,' he taunts on. 'But you're not fooling me, I noticed the tent in your pants,' he smirks. My God, he's not making it easy for me.All night long I have been keeping the men away from Loriann by keeping my arm over her shoulders. No one is allowed to dance with my little sister, that's my prerogative alone. 'Sister, my foot,' Xan bursts out in my head. 'I like her raw, I
Future Alpha Romero's POV The next day I am busy preparing for my departure.The Elders of the pack want to talk to me, my father lectures me on morality and making our pack proud, and my mother warns me not to break the hearts of the women and to wait for my fated mate.At midday, I have it all behind me.Hungry, I go to the lunchroom. To my surprise, I see the person I have been trying to avoid all day sitting there. I don't trust myself to get close to her now that Xan has printed all sorts of dirty ideas in my head. But I also know that a meeting with her is inevitable; it would be rather conspicuous if I didn't say goodbye to her.She is seated across from me as usual. Her silver orbs stare at me questioningly; she must have noticed the change in my mood. My big mistake now is to look straight into those enchanting eyes. Stupidly, I continue to stare, unable to tear my eyes away from her. My lips parted several times like a fish on dry land, unable to utter a
