Kai’s pov"You’re fucking late." I said to my Gamma, who strolled into our meeting an hour late like it was fucking nothing. Big as grin on his face and not a care in the fucking world.Did he forget we were preparing to go to war against Alpha Paul if that fucker wouldn’t allow us to use his part of the rogue territory?"You’re just cranky because Moon is gone." Ronin said.Moon had invited me to come with her to her father’s pack, but if I had joined her, we would never have gone out of our room. Besides, this was her chance to get close to her family, and as someone who had no family left, I knew how important that was."Lo siento mucho, pero algo importante ha surgido" [I'm sorry, but something important has come up]."Talk fucking English man, all I got was important."Diego didn’t even seem bothered by my words. "Maria, I went to see Maria."Goddess, this man was smitten. Was I like this?! Did I act like a fool when I was with Moon?"Pretty much, yes, you are a puppy dog when you

Diego’s povIf Maria would allow me to have sex with her, I would not hesitate to show her how I felt. But this was enough. My dick didn’t agree, as it went hard as soon as I held Maria in my arms. But I couldn’t help how my body reacted. Maria was gorgeous; she smelled amazing, and she felt even better. How could I not react?"Diego..." Maria warned me."No voy a hacer nada. [I’m not doing anything.] We can switch?"Maria sighed, "no, I like your arms around me. It feels safe. Is that dumb?""Nunca. Never, mi amor. Estoy seguro [I am safe.]"I don’t know how, but I had fallen for Maria so hard. I didn’t even know her that long, but I honestly couldn’t imagine my life without her. One more week with her, and I would be ready to tell her I loved her. I was a passionate man, but even for me, this was fast."Maybe she is something more." Emilio said."She is something more. She is the best woman I have ever met.""No. I mean, maybe she is meant for you." Emilio said.I had heard about sec

Mary’s povApparently, Moon liked to work with her office door open, because I could hear everything she was doing. I didn’t mind; I was happy she was back. I knew she wanted to ask me about Diego, and I promised to tell her a bit about what happened during lunch.To be honest, I was excited to share. I understood now how people who were in love couldn’t stop talking about their partner. Not that I was in love, but I did really like Diego."Keep saying that to yourself," Beth said, but I ignored my wolf.Diego was sweet, kind, and funny. He wasn’t shy about expressing his feelings, but he had experience with this. He had many women in his bed, and while I trusted his words, I wasn't sure I was the first woman he had feelings for.I used to laugh when I saw Kai being jealous for no reason. Moon was clearly obsessed with him, and he had nothing to fear. Moon would never be with someone other than Kai now that she had him as her mate.I knew Diego would be faithful to me, but was that fai

Moon’s povI hated lying to Mary, but I couldn’t tell her the truth. She was already scared, and if I told her what the tea was for, then she’d be freaking out even more. And if it didn’t work, she could just go on without ever regretting Diego not being her second mate. She wouldn’t know. And if it did work, they’d be second mates, and they’d figure it out. If I had given her the choice, she would have said no."Are you preparing excuses in case she gets mad?" Angela asked.I was. I knew it wasn’t fair of me to do something behind Mary’s back. I told her she could trust me and I was giving her a weird ass tea that would reveal her second mate. I just prayed that if they were second mates, she wouldn’t be mad at me for lying. I hated lying.I tried to focus on the meeting, which was pretty important too, but my mind kept going back to Mary. This evening, she would find out. Maybe I was doing it for selfish reasons? The moment I found out Kai was my mate, I was trying to kill him. I mea

Mary’s povEver since I marked Diego, I’ve been feeling more things, and I think it’s coming from him. Diego feels a lot. He’s happy, he’s excited, and he’s hungry. It’s like everything is coming in, and it made me want to be close to him. Especially if he’s happy. I can already picture his face, and his great smile. I really like his smile.It’s also confusing the hell out of me, because marking him has stirred something else inside me too. This feeling of lust, I guess, is coming from Diego."Is it?"I ignored my wolf and kept walking to the training grounds. I had been here before, but it was always brief. I was here when we went to war against Norman or to drive Moon. She really needed to get her license.Alpha Raider had made a lot of improvements over the last few weeks, and the pack looked a lot better than it did. There was no sign of damage anymore, and everything that had been burned, had been replaced. But Helena and Norman's devastation extended beyond buildings and roads;
