The pack wolves that were injured were taken to the infirmary. Alpha's healed faster than normal wolves and when I looked at Creed an hour later, his wounds were gone. I sat in the living room with Elias, Liam, and Jordan while they discussed what they were going to say to Dallas. "Do you think she will believe us?" Jordan asked. Liam sighed, "She has no reason not to." "Luna," Hera called and I looked up. I thought I told you not to call me that. I tried the mindlink again finding it easier under less pressure. She rolled her eyes at me and kept her lips in a straight line. But you are my luna and I will address you as such in front of the others. Arguing with Hera about this was pointless. I just had to get used to the title when we weren't alone. "Yes, what is it Hera?" "We are going down to the cells to interrogate the omega's

Creed parked the car in my campus parking lot. We got out of the car and he cracked his back, his bones making a sickening crunch sound. He looked around at the students and then at me. "I didn't know pot was legal?" He said turning in my direction.I shook my head. "Could you not be so loud." It was a quarter to three and the sun was high up in the sky. I could see the heat lines floating above the ground.Though it was quite warm out my anxiety had my body doing this weird thing of heating and cooling. My fingers were icy while my face and ears were hot. The hair on my body stood and that bubble of anxiety settled in the pit of my stomach."Where is your dorm room?" Creed asked and my mouth felt dry. He cupped my chin and tilted my head up for me to look at him. He placed a chaste peck on my lips and his green eyes settled into mine.I was immediately transported to the serene grassy and flower fields of

It had been three days since our trip to Phoenix. It felt good to see Kris again. Creed and I never spoke about what our relationship meant after that day. I knew his reasons for trying not to get too close to me but every time I saw him I felt my body gravitate to him. It's like I had blinders when he was in my line of vision I focused on nothing but him and for a moment he looked at me the same until he came back to a sense of reality and walked away. That part always felt like my heart was being torn into a million tiny pieces. I hated the fact that he pushed me away. It was agony I never felt before. Maybe it was a wolf-mate thing that I wanted to be as close to him as possible all the time but he wouldn't let me. He would run away if I got too close to him. There were times he would leave the house and shift into his wolf and run into the forest. I didn't know whether to be amused at his creativity or offended.

I panted as I tried to keep up with Hera. We were running along a trail in the forest. It was a part of my training to strengthen my core. According to the other wolves, if I exercised regularly and stretched the shift wouldn't be that hard on my body. "Keep up Luna," Hera said running ahead of me and I stopped to grab a drink from my water bottle.My muscles were sore, we had been training and strengthening my core for the past week. I was exhausted and all I longed for was a pillow and a blanket. At this point I wasn't fussy I'd sleep where I dropped. I removed my shirt that was drenched in sweat and Hera's eyes widened. "The alpha has marked you as his mate," she grinned causing me to choke on my water. I was very careful the past week in hiding my mark. In a moment of exhaustion, I had forgotten. "What, what are you talking about?" I stuttered in an attempt to act as if I didn't know what she was talking about and a cheeky smile overtook her face

A week had passed with everyone falling into a comfortable routine. I sat outside with May and Mia while I watched them play peekaboo. I always wanted daughters and May and Mia were exactly what I thought it would be like.Elias had gone to Germany with Reuel and they came back with a purple crystal on a silver necklace for Mia. The crystal would absorb her magic if she tried to do any while she wore it. Elias said it was what was best keeping her true nature from her but I believed otherwise.They also came back with tweed bracelets for the entire pack which I thought was strange. Creed ordered everyone to keep the bracelets on. When I had asked him why he would say, 'please just wear it for me, Eleanora.'As for the rest of the Cacciatore's when they woke up they were at the airport. It was like they had amnesia. We didn't let them see Creed or the rest of the boys in the case it triggered their memories.
