. Still Saphira's POVFifteen minutes later, Glary arrives.I'm shocked at the speed at which he got here, I frown when I see him walk through the door. “Glary, these are my neighbors, both werewolves. They found me when I passed out,” I introduce him to my two rescuers.The three look at each other in shock. “Aren't you from the Midnight Moon pack? Gamma Kenry and the Alpha sister Elise?” Glary suddenly asks without shaking their hands. The two still nod in surprise. “Alpha! Did you come and get Saphira personally?” asks Elise in amazement. The Gamma also looks as if this astonishes him. But Glary nods relaxed and turns to me. He takes me bridal style in his arms.“This is my girlfriend,” he announces. “Thank you for taking care of her. I'll take it from here". And with that, the matter seems settled for him and we leave. When we get to my door, I press my fingertip on the machine. Glary takes me in and puts me on both legs.“How come you passed out, Saphira? That's not

“I need to replace this car ASAP! What a snail's pace! Couldn't it be faster, Gamma!" Irritated, I turn to Kenry behind the wheel. We've been on the road for five minutes and it seems that Human Town is getting further with every second.I'm in a hurry and the man behind the wheel isn't moving fast enough. And I thought my car was the fastest in the pack after Zane's. “We would have preferred to take the Heli. Unfortunately, this car is not an airplane, you'll have to settle for this speed, Beta," he notes. “I'm at the maximum that can take us safely into Human Town. Just a little while and we'll end up in some hospital and then you will arrive much later than now."I know he's right, but my wolf can't handle the truth. Maybe I should have just run the distance with my wolf. My mate needs me, or rather say, we need each other to strengthen our wolves. We are exhausted from the long separation. A smile breaks on my face when I think I'll have her in my arms again in half

Alpha Zane's POVMercedes is sleeping peacefully in my arms like a contented kitten.My mate is rapidly becoming an adult, she knows exactly what she wants and her Luna senses are starting to take over. Just like a few hours ago when we faced Kenry and Jace, two of my high rankings encountered crises in their mating. She managed to calm things down before I stepped in as their Alpha. My mate is going to be the most perfect Luna, I can't count down the months to her eighteenth fast enough. I want to mark her, take her to my packhouse and lock us in our bedroom for a whole week. I'm damn sure she won't mind at all, as long as the cook regularly serves us lasagna.Sleep can't come for me.Two serious cases have arisen within a short period of time. My Beta lost his mate after they started the mating process. He is now a wreck, out for several weeks, if not months. Mate issues are not easy to handle and in Jace’s case, totally problematic. He waited for her for years and as his story soun

When I walk into the canteen a few hours later, I see that the Alpha Glary's usual seat is empty.Also, where Clarita always sat next to me is open. Hungry I take a seat and eagerly start my meal. I'm almost ready to go back to class when someone plops down next to me. It's John Ogabe, the future Gamma of the pack. His strong scent invades my nostrils, and hard I push the food back into my stomach.“Mercedes, tell me. Will you still be the Beta of our pack? Because I'd be happy to take over from you," he explains plainly. His directness doesn't surprise me, I've always found him rude and, therefore avoided his company. “I'm happy to hand the position over to you, John. As you already know, I have a higher one in my pocket”, I tell him proudly. “I stole the heart of an incredible Alpha and he can't wait to make me his Luna. So, you see, Beta John, be my guest.”Before I manage to get up, he tries to grab my arm. But I manage to avoid his grasp. He is provoking me, almost everyone in th

When Zane notices that I am adamant, he resigns himself to my mission.But I did have to promise to call him twice a day to tell him what progress I was making with my plans. He also promised not to tell Jace about this. If his Beta knows where Saphira is, he might rush in here on his own and things could not end well. I've asked Zane for up to five days to try and persuade her to at least talk to Jace about her doubts.Fortunately, my mate was indulgent and agreed. Although something tells me he's not entirely at ease with me traveling this far without him and I'm expecting him to show up anytime, Zane never takes risks when it comes to me. So I have to act quickly. “Clarita, how about we sleep early and leave early tomorrow morning? Maybe we can drive on and immediately reach Shadow Moon in the evening”, I suggest to my friend. She looks at me strangely. “We can do that, but then we will take turns. You'll be too tired to drive non-stop all day," she says. “Why do you want to be the
