**ORION** Delaney has been gone for almost 2 hours. I tried to link her. Tried to sniff her out. I sent search parties out for her. But she was gone without a trace. I came back to my office in a panicked frenzy. I completely obliterated everything in here. Except her desk. I was scared that she was taken but I don't believe anyone else is stupid enough to try and attack and take her. Especially not on pack grounds. And then my heart plummeted to my stomach. What if she got cold feet about being with me? And she decided to leave. Wouldn't she just talk to me? What if she learned who she was and knows she doesn't need me and decided that she didn't want to be my mate or Luna? Then my mom got through to her through mind link and I was relieved only for a minute. But then I was upset and worried. I called her selfish. I asked her if she even cared for me. Fucking idiot. As soon as the words left my mouth I regretted it. I was so worried and upset thinking something happened to her o

**MELODY** This morning when I got off of work and tried to rest before I had to go back and help my parents patrol, I had these dreams. Crazed dreams that vampires don't normally have. A dream of wolves running and then shimmering. It was crazy and blew my mind. I could feel the excitement and anticipation to move closer and get a better look. Vampires can shimmer. And if they were a hybrid, how did that even happen? Vampires usually hate wolves. At least every vampire I have ever met despises wolves. They say that Vampires are the true children of the Vampire Lord and that the Moon Goddess created the wolves as pets. Vampires were given the free will to make their own choices and the wolves had to follow a law of hate and obedience against vampires. The only vampires I've ever been with have been my parents and the ones we work with. We don't even belong to a clan. But everyone knew that werewolves and vampires were enemies. So how could a hybrid even happen? But these wolves were

**DELANEY** I woke up the next morning sore all over. But I wasn't feeling regret. Just complete and utter joy. I look around the room and see that Orion isn't here. Which also means he didn't wake me up this morning to enjoy him again. Which saddens me a little.I hope I was enough. I know he has plenty of experience with sex and women. I just hope what I offered him was enough. Even though I am sure it was just basic sex. Nothing wild or crazy. I am only the pathetic she wolf he found in the woods... This feeling of sadness is creeping into my chest hurts. Maybe that's why he isn't in the room. He has slept with me and now doesn't want to see me.I lift my hand to wipe my eyes and I feel something weighing my hand down a little. I turn it over to look, and I am dumbfounded and awestruck. There is the most beautiful oval cut ring on my finger. Little studded diamonds all the way around the band. Looks like sterling but it can't be silver. So I don't know what this is. Before I can

**KYLO** What is wrong with me? Ever since we were at the mall yesterday I have felt this complete urgency to be near Delaney. But I don't think it has anything to do with her. She rescued someone from the mall, I came back and started working on some security measures. Who knows who followed the rescue here, and as the new Gamma, I want to do my job to the fullest. 'Ky, where are you?' I hear Orion ring in my ears just as I am fixing to sit down at this huge wooden dining table in our dining hall. 'In the dining hall, finally fixing to eat. I haven't been able to sleep all night.' 'Okay, Delaney, Melody, and I are heading to the dining hall. Delaney said she wanted you to watch over Melody, but I agreed you should do the security precautions you wanted to do. And because no one was guarding Melody, Chrissy tried to attack her.' Ah, so my Luna may be mad at that fact. Why would Chrissy want to attack someone that just got here and that is Luna's guest? As I begin eating, my

**KYLO**   "He was only supposed to be mated to his first mate for her true colors to show. She is evil. And she has been since the day she was born... We thought Kylo would accept it. But he tried with his whole heart to make her see the truth in the mate bond. But, the little bitch is stupid and greedy... When he finally accepted it and severed the bond, Selene gave him true peace in his heart. I watched it, it was beautiful..." He says with a wide smile. "But that means that I am the reason Kylo has had his heartbroken.... I am sooo sorry Ky-" I immediately cut her off by smashing my lips onto hers. She moans as I did, reveling in the way we feel together. She pulls away and smiles. Drake moved fast and was by the window minding his own business for a second. I am glad he wasn't an overbearing dad in this sense.  "I guess that's one way to shut
