Mila’s P.O.V.It had been a few weeks now since the incident with the stranger, and the entire pack was in on the investigations of who he was, and how he managed to slip by unnoticed, and then there was the question of exactly how I ended up cursed and by whom. Damon was fiercely protective of me, a lot more than usual, not even Ebony managed to get close to me without a growl or two. But he was getting better, relaxing more as the days went by, and today was special. Today was the mating ceremony.To say I was nervous was an understatement, what if I screwed up, what if it didn’t go well, what if I wasn’t good enough. I essentially would be having sex in front of an entire audience, it was perfectly natural for this, a sort of royal ceremony for alpha’s who find their mates. Our parents did one too, although I don’t remember it at all, I just remember the feeling after it was all said and done, after the marked themselves, the entire pack benefits from a strong relationship between

Mila’s P.O.V.While the boys were busy with Alpha Marcus me and Ebony decided to go for a walk ‘just going for a walk with Ebony babe, I won’t be too long and don’t worry we won’t go outside the pack grounds’ I thought I had better let Damon know where we were going or he would have a tantrum ‘Okay peach, stay where you can be seen, a couple of warriors are going to stay with you – at a distance before you get mad, but please, for me’ humph, I sighed, I didn’t like feeling like I needed a baby sitter, but I understood Damon’s worries. ‘Fine…’ I replied. ‘That’s my girl’.We got a little way round when we came to the courtyard, it was back to its old self, how it was before the ceremony took place, it was circular, and had chairs and tables around the outside for people to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet, there was grass and trees in the middle, they were covered in little white blossoms, and their petals fell and covered the grass like cotton, and white lanterns hung from the trees,

Mila’s P.O.V.A few days had passed now since the night of Ebony’s birthday and the realization she had no wolf. She was still fragile, but in her usual way she made sure that everyone else was well taken cared of before herself. “Good morning Luna Mila, how are you today?” she said, with the brightest smile, “ha-ha and since when do you call me Luna Mila, and why so formal? But to give you an answer I am very well thank you Ebony and yourself?” she made me laugh, I’m not sure why she was suddenly so formal but I was happy to see her smiling, she walked close to me and whispered in my ear “your mother and Alpha Marcus are in a meeting with Elder Rolf, and a few others I don’t recognize, I’m not sure why they are here but it must be very important”. Elder Rolf? Elder Rolf is Alpha Marcus’ grandfather and Damon’s great grandfather, but he rarely visits. He still lives on pack grounds but as far away from the business as you can imagine. ‘Mila, Damon, would you both please come to the of

Damon’s P.O.V.It was the final evening of our stay and I was so glad to know that in the morning I would be on my way back to Mila, I had so much to tell her, most of all about Alpha Fangar. I was packing up my things and heading outside when there was a knock at my door. “Come in!” I yelled, I turned around recognizing a familiar stench of heat, desire and lust. It was Kimi. “Sorry Kimi, I’m afraid you have caught me at a bad time I was just on my way out, you will –“ what was happening. Before I even had time to react, Kimi had launched herself towards me and pinned me to the floor, she was staring at me, with eyes black, was this her wolf? Or had her eyes always been this way? I wasn’t sure but for whatever reason I couldn’t move her, she was… strong. Stronger than me even, but that was impossible. She was of Alpha blood like I was, but even as alpha’s males are stronger than females, she would have been no match for me in a battle of muscles, but I couldn’t move, ‘father come qui

Mila’s P.O.V.It had been days since Demetri kidnapped me, I wasn’t sure if anyone would even still be looking for me or if they just accepted that I was gone now. Everyday Demetri came to visit me, he would bring food and water, and every day I refused. I was growing weaker, I could feel it inside me ‘we can do this Mila, we are not giving up. Not now. We just have to stay strong, think of a plan!’ it was Tae, she had been trying to reach me for days now, but like the food, I never spoke back. Instead, I sat there in silence, staring at a wall behind me. Never moving, barely even breathing at times. I wanted nothing more than to shrivel away into nothing. The emptiness I felt in my chest without Damon, it has been 8 days since I saw him last… I ached for him. I knew I would die here. The thought of it was horrific, not the death. I knew the moon goddess would take care of me, but for Damon, if the pain didn’t kill him, it would likely send him feral. Perhaps the moon goddess would sh
