Uncle George, my mother, and Elliot enter my office and make themselves comfortable. Goddess why can’t they just leave me alone? I was enjoying a peaceful day with my mate as we work on pack business together. Not to mention I was about to get a quick fuck in. Now that I’ve had Nadia all I want is her. I’d also like to put a pup in her belly sooner rather than later. Having a mate and heir will strengthen my position for Alpha King.I know it sounds like I’m using Nadia and maybe there is part of me that is. However, I do care about her and I know with time I can fall madly in love with her. I can’t help that she gives me the advantage and power I need right now. Even if she didn’t provide me with what I needed right now I would still love and care for her. She is my mate, my gift from the moon goddess and I will cherish her forever no matter what.Besides, I’m heading towards my mid-twenties it’s time for me to have my mate by my side and an heir or two. Nadia already knows I need an

Maddox takes me back to our room. I’m shaken. I didn’t know what was happening. I’ve been called many things before, but a traitor is not one of them. There is rumored to be a group of rogue slaves working with free rogues to take down the council that governs the packs and stops the Alphas from electing an Alpha King. The rogues don’t want to live under pack rule, nor do they want to be slaves. They want the right to choose to be free or in a pack. I don’t know where I stand on the subject other than the rogues shouldn’t be slaves. I would never be a traitor, no matter what. Even if I agreed with their cause, I would never betray Maddox; that was before I knew he was my mate. Maddox has always been a fair Alpha, and I know many of the younger Alphas his age are like him. They disagree with rogue slaves and want to find a way to make peace with the rogues. It’s why many of them want Maddox to be Alpha King. He also has the lycan bloodline to help claim the role. Yes, I know about Ma

Today we head to the capitol. I hate traveling in cars. I tend to get motion sickness. It’s lame for a werewolf to get motion sickness, but I can’t help it. Maddox seems to think it’s because I wasn’t in my first car ride till I was ten, and most are introduced to a car as a baby. I hate it because it makes me feel weak, and I will be Luna and probably the Luna Queen. It’s embarrassing. Maddox keeps telling me not to worry about it and that it doesn’t make me look weak. He even bought me some motion sickness beads for our trip. It looks like a fancy bracelet, so no one will be any the wiser. Let’s hope no one else figures it out. I have enough pressure as it is. I’m nervous about Maddox announcing me as his mate. Once he does, everything changes. I’m no longer just a rogue slave. I will become Luna. There will be an official ceremony and maybe even Luna Queen if Maddox truly ends up becoming Alpha King. I can’t even begin to process that. I knew it was a possibility, but Maddox con

Once we arrived at the capitol, everything went crazy. I had a guard I trust who I know is loyal to me, watching over Nadia while I attended to business. Come tomorrow, she will be allowed to attend meetings and such with me, but until she is announced, I can’t bring her. The first thing I did was drop off Nadia’s paperwork that says she is free. You would think me marking her as my mate would be enough to elevate her from her slave status, but it’s not. Not many high-ranking wolves willingly accepts a slave as their mate. The stigma and embracement alone is enough to make them reject them. I’m truly different, but I’m also the change that is needed to stop a full out war between pack wolves and rogue wolves. That’s where we are headed if things aren’t resolved between the two groups. There is a group of rogues working to take down the council and packs. I have a meeting with the council tomorrow to accept my place as the new Alpha King. Nadia will be with me to accept her place as

As Maddox and I head down to the ball, I take as many deep breaths as possible to calm my frying nerves. It’s time to be introduced as Maddox’s mate. I’m terrified that the higher-ranking wolves are going to eat me alive. I know I studied, but I’m not sure it’s enough to pull off sophistication. I do look amazing, and Maddox hasn’t stopped telling me so. I feel beautiful for the first time in my life, but then again, I’ve only ever worn slave clothes. I guess I have to get used to wearing nice clothes and being around higher-ranking wolves. Maddox and I approach the double doors that will lead to the ballroom. There is an omega waiting to announce us. Maddox gives the omega our name. This is it. I can do this. Maddox squeezes my hand to reassure me. “Announcing Alpha Maddox and his Mate Luna Nadia.” The omega announces us.We step forward and walk down the grand staircase to the ballroom floor. The whispers start immediately. No one knows who I am. I’m clearly not a high-ranking wo
