Adriana's Point of View Tyler and I were sitting in the small dining room eating afternoon tea. I was always hungry now that my wolf had come through, even though I hadn't actually shifted yet. "I spoke with Daemon, and he confirmed you were his fated mate," Tyler said. "That makes you our Luna." I couldn't believe what he was telling me. Daemon confirmed it? He had been so adamant that I wasn't to tell anyone. Maybe Tyler was fishing for Daemon to see whether I would actually say anything. Or perhaps he was telling the truth, and Daemon had told him. Should I agree with him or not? Tyler continued when I didn't confirm or deny it, "He ordered you not to say anything, didn't he?" I decided to nod yes to this question, but I was still wary of him. I wanted a friend who would understand what I was going through, but Tyler was the Beta Daemon's Beta. I knew enough about packs to know that Tyler would always be loyal to Daemon. It all came down to whether I could trust Tyler or not.

Adriana's Point of View I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Well, I could accept the stupid Omegas thinking Tyler was sweet over me because he was the only one nice to me so far. However, for Daemon to believe that and then remind me that I was his mate, I had to act like it. I had to act like it? Considering I was told not to tell anyone, he was unbelievable. "So, I'm your mate now, am I?" I asked snarkily. "Yes, you are, and you need to act like it!" he roared. "You are my mate, not Tyler's mate." It went from bad to worse. Daemon wouldn't listen to what I was trying to say, and now... he threatened to lock me in my room because Tyler grabbed my hand in a purely friendly platonic way. I guess Alphas are highly jealous creatures, but this one was borderline stupid. What was the Moon Goddess thinking when she matched me with him? "Are you going to listen to what I have to say, or just continue to make threats?" I yelled at him. Daemon stood there menacingly with his arms cross

Mitchell's Point of View The questions that Daemon was asking made me think about former Luna Mara. She and her daughter, Ariana, Amelia or something similar, were the only other Alphas in the pack. If Daemon was picking them up, I would have to tell him everything that went on. He was going to be annoyed that I didn't tell him sooner, not to mention that I had allowed the young girl to work outside the pack without telling him. The first thing I needed to do was go and talk to Mara. It was essential to find out if Daemon knew about her and her daughter. My actions would be based on whether he did or not. What happened the day when Mara came here was tragic. Mara thought her pack was attacked because of the rare colour of their eyes. Traditionally shifters had brown eyes like their wolves. Occasionally, they would have blue. Eyes the colour of amethysts were totally unknown, except for her pack. Many generations ago, they had cross mated with another species, meaning they were hybri

Daemon's Point of View Over the next week and a half, Adriana and I had dinner at various human-owned restaurants three times. I still didn't want to take her back to Luna until we had mated fully and I had marked her. On the other nights, I made sure she and I dined in the small dining room together. I asked Adam and Tyler to eat elsewhere for a while, so I could take the time to get to know her properly. Each and every night, Adriana let me kiss her. Each and every night, it got more and more passionate. With each moan she made, I struggled to keep my wolf under control. I could smell her arousal and see it in her eyes. Her wolf was also at the surface, and she wanted me as much as I wanted her. I just didn't want to rush anything and risk losing her. When I asked Adriana if I had whisked her away from a boyfriend, she shook her head. Although she didn't say anything, I got the impression she hadn't dated before. Adriana did say that she was often asked out by humans when she wa

Daemon's Point of View "Make me yours, Daemon," Adriana panted breathlessly. Those were the words I didn't even know I wanted to hear. My wolf was howling with delight inside me as I lined myself up to enter her. "Relax, Adriana. It will hurt a little, but I will take it slowly and carefully," I said, pushing in gradually. A third of the way in, I was impeded by her virginal membrane, and unfortunately, there was no way I wasn't going to hurt. I leaned forward to kiss Adriana before pushing through. She screamed into my kiss as the sharp pain hit her, and I waited for her to relax around me. After a while, I could feel Adriana relax. She was so tight around me, so any movement I made would have to be controlled, or I would lose right there and then. "It's okay now," Adriana whispered, moving her hips. I reciprocated and thrust my hips to meet hers. A rhythm was created with our bodies rolling into each other in a carnal dance. Pressure built up between us as we sought a joint re
