Taking another breath, Blaze continued, “She is from another pack. I recently met her at the annual ball.” “Who is she?” Someone shouted from the crowd. Blaze searched for the person who shouted to find him standing beside Lina. With a self-satisfied smirk, Blaze nodded at the she-wolf. She glared back in response. “I will bring her here soon. She will be the perfect Luna for our pack.” Blaze said with finality before turning around to look at his father. Cole stared at Blaze at a complete loss for words. Blaze looked at him and crossed his arms in response. Even if his father was no longer the Alpha of the Blood Moon pack, it was an act of defiance considering that Cole was the former Alpha. Noticing the tension rising between father and son, Travis fumbled with words, “I h-hereby declare the party tonight, started...” Oblivious to the glaring contest between father and son, the pack erupted in cheers and dispersed into smaller groups across the room to celebrate Alpha Blaze’s

“Listen well, okay? I won’t be repeating myself.” Lilith held a finger against Blaze’s lips to keep him from saying anything. Blaze looked down on the finger pressed against his mouth before looking back up at his destined mate. He ignored Bash’s growl of pleasure. Unlike him, his wolf was enjoying this bossy side of Lilith. “Do you understand?” He shifted his attention back on Lilith with a nod. “First of all, I’m a sigma who’s been banished from the pack. You kept me here against my will.” Lilith held his shoulders when he moved to stand up as his eyes narrowed for a moment. “I never said anything and I’ve long forgiven you for this.” Lilith watched as the lines on his forehead cleared up mightily, although his eyes remained disoriented as if he wasn’t sure where she was going with this. “But, you are now Alpha of the Blood Moon pack. If the pack gets to know that you’ve been keeping a banished wolf at your place, they will blame you for breaking the pack principles.” Blaze hel

In the morning, Lilith was showered and felt a little more in control. Okay, not so much “in control” as she was still blissed out from how amazing Blaze had been in bed last night. It was more than just the physical pleasure, though. She felt like they have finally become one. The shower shut off and Blaze stepped out, wiping out any of her coherent thought. She’d seen him naked, but there was something about seeing him standing in her bathroom, water droplets navigating the peaks and valleys of his torso, his hair plastered back, his silver eyes framed by dark spiked lashes, which simply made her stop breathing. Staring at himself through the mirror, Blaze rubbed a hand over his jaw. “I need to shave.” “You look better like this. I like it this way.” Lilith found herself saying. Those deep silver eyes darkened as they roved over her towel-wrapped body. “I know.” Something strangely familiar stirred within her as butterflies fluttered in her belly. “Hand me a towel?” The urge

Lilith felt paralyzed with fear, excitement and anxiety as she studied her hand. Her fingernails had elongated into claws. Were those really claws? Before they could both get over the fact that Lilith’s fingernails had turned into claws, the wounds on Lilith’s palms closed on their own. Right after, the claws receded back into her fingernails. Blaze wrapped an arm around Lilith’s waist comfortingly. He felt the need to hold onto his mate. He feared what this meant. Could it be a good thing or a bad thing? “W-What just happened?” Lilith questioned, her voice trembling. “How do you feel? Is it your wolf?” Blaze turned her around until she was facing him. He braced himself for her answer. He hoped that it wouldn’t be a bad thing. After all, she already got her enhanced senses back. The only feasible thing that could possibly happen after that was for her wolf to be revived. But, will it be as easy as he was thinking? “I can’t feel my wolf.” Lilith replied, sounding low-spirited.

“Are you sure you’re okay?” Blaze’s broad hand shifted to the base of her spine. Lilith closed her eyes and took a steadying breath before slowly re-focusing on Blaze’s face. “I’m okay.” He stepped up onto the first step so they were face to face before lowering his forehead to hers. “If you don’t feel okay, let me know. I will ask Raine to drop by and give you a check-up.” Lilith shook her head gently and pulled away just far enough so she could meet his stare. “I’m fine.” With a nod, Blaze took her hands and lifted her fingers to his lips for a quick, hard kiss. “If you say so.” Impulse to reassure him drove Lilith to lean in and take his mouth in a quick kiss which made Blaze crave for more. But, Lilith pulled back with a chuckle.Settling his hands on her hips, Blaze turned her around and urged her up the two steps again. Lilith let him propel her forward. Together, they sat down on the couch to watch ‘The Sea Beast’ after browsing through the recent movies which have just
