The Moon had come out and illuminated everywhere. The pack members gathered around howled to the night sky. Mercedes stood by fascinated by the scene in front of her. Felix stood on the mini-stage in the center and picked up a knife with an ancient inscription on it. He took out his palm and slit it. A cup was handed to him by make with similar inscriptions. He then poured the dripping blood inside it. Felix handed the cup back to Jake and the knife. Jake did the same ritual as he did and the rest of them did it as well. They all mumbled weird things in another language that Mercedes could not make out. The collective blood was poured on the soil and howls were heard again. The moon was at its pinnacle when Mercedes's body began to heat up. When Crystal asked her about it she dismissed her by changing the topic. She grabbed Crystal's hand and pulled towards the fire and they danced along with the rest of the people. Amidst the hype, Mercedes began feeling hot. At

Felix looked at Crystal in an indication that she should bring something to cover Mercedes with. He was elated that he finally united with his mate and she just talked to him for the first time. Roland was over the moon as well. He looked at the big white wolf in admiration. The surprises were abundant. He never imagined that his mate would be a legend. It was not a small thing in the werewolf realm. She must be the first white wolf to be seen in centuries. It is not certain that after the perishing of the first generation that there had not been any white wolves. It was a great thing but it was bad. Now that everyone has seen her, nothing can be done about that. If he knew beforehand he would have made sure to conceal her identity from his pack and the rest of the realm for her safety. Unfortunately, he won't be able to sweep this matter under the rug. It will spread like wildfire and soon everyone will know about it. After that, a giant target will be placed on her.

Mercedes stayed locked away in her room. Everyone was worried about her and her well-being. The only one she allowed close to her was Crystal. Even so, she didn't open up about her problem to her. She kept silent and she even blocked out her wolf. She was consumed with guilt and regret. She even thought about running away and back to the human realm to report the crime she committed. She convinced herself that it was the right thing and what she deserved. Felix was anguished by the distance she put between them. He didn't understand what to do or how to reach out to her. His wolf Roland was comforting him for the first time. He tried convincing him that it was not their fault and they should give her some space until she comes around and lets them in. That too was difficult because now that he knows that she is his mate, the pull was too strong. He soon found himself marching towards Mercedes's room. He saw Crystal coming out with a tray of food. It seemed to have bee

Felix was standing by his office window staring outside. The people were roaming around minding their own and little kids were all over the place and laughter resonated in the air. There was peace and harmony. Things were going well for a while but in the pit of his stomach, he had an unsettling feeling. He had it for some time but he chose to ignore it. He didn't want to think about anything bad and jinx the newly found happiness the moon's goodness bestowed on him. Things were different now. He didn't just have his pack to look out for but he also had the one who means the world to him. As incredulous as it sounds he knew that he loved her. He just has not admitted it to himself much less to her. Mercedes was now his weakness and it made him fearful of the future. He just knew that his love for her would cloud his judgment and he would never allow himself to lose her to anything. He would fight and burn the whole world to have her until he draws his last breath. He even

Felix and Mercedes we're sleeping soundly on her bed. Felix woke up first and was pleased to see his mate sleeping on his bare chest. Her hot breath provides him with warmth and he made sure not to move. He did not want to disturb her sleep and lose the beautiful sight he was marveling at. her hair was repealed on his chest and some of it covered his face so he pushed it behind her so he could see her face. Looking at her his thought traveled back to last night's events. He almost had all of her but with great willpower, he pulled back and stopped himself. He wanted their first time to be special. He heard her light snores and he smiled at how cute it sounded. After some time of staying still to let her sleep, she began to awaken from her peaceful slumber. Felix quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. Mercedes opened her eyes to see a hard warm chest. She was startled and tried to get up from the bed but strong arms were wrapped around her and preventing h
