Luna Scarlett and Alpha Asher were still sitting in the Alpha's office. They had gradually regained some semblance of calm and were now giving each other worried looks. "I hope everything goes well for Bianca," Scarlett said. Asher nodded and sighed deeply. "Normally, everything should go well for her... she's his soul mate. There's no reason for an accident to happen, although I really wonder how a mere human manages to be around that monstrous energy." Scarlett nervously ran her hand through her flaming red hair. "That's right. And, we're talking about Alpha Black's wolf! The all-powerful Maska! The wolf who fell into destructive madness because his soul mate still hadn't appeared!" Asher nodded again. "Let's just hope he doesn't hurt her." Scarlett frowned and put her arms around the back of her soulmate's neck." I'm really worried about her. That wolf has been alone for so many years, and I'm afraid he'll be cruel to her. And, if that wer

Bianca had finally managed to talk to Luna Scarlett. She had to argue for about fifteen minutes before Black finally agreed to leave her alone with the Luna of the Crescent Moon pack. It was only after the intervention of Alpha Asher that Black was more or less obliged to leave her. After receiving a telepathic message from his Luna, the Alpha with the ash-blond hair had pretexted a last-minute meeting. In reality, Black would never have made an effort to attend. However, because Bianca's eyes sparkled with admiration, he had to go. His Luna had been amazed to hear that all the Alphas would be together and that they were dying to talk to him. * * * Black couldn't take it anymore. It was only a few minutes since he had been separated from his Luna, and he now had only one desire: to get up and join her immediately. He listened distractedly to the stories the other Alphas present told him without paying the slightest atte

Alpha Asher's eyes suddenly became cloudy. Once they had returned to their original color, he cleared his throat, interrupting the exchange between the Mad One and his Luna. "My men have just notified me. The road has been cleared, and you can leave as you wish now. Of course, you're free to stay and celebrate my Luna," said the ash-blond-haired Alpha, grinning at his soul mate. Black completely ignored the low masses of the people around and kept his forehead pressed against Bianca's. "What do you wish for, Love?" he asked without taking his eyes off her. "I want to go home. I still haven't seen Rosy, and I'm supposed to work tomorrow..." Bianca stopped talking, realizing the murderous expression in the Alpha's eyes. "Besides, I have to pick up my stuff at the Crossroad Cafe to come to stay with you. That is if the invitation still stands." The Frenchwoman breathed a sigh of relief as she felt the wolf's rage gradually fade. "You're right, Love. W

Bianca held the seatbelt in both hands and stared blankly at the landscape. Magnus had explained to her that she would experience her first heat since she was the marked soul mate of a wolf. Had she received the news well? No. * * * Magnus had had to take forever to explain to her what heat was. They had a translation problem at that point. However, when the meaning of the word finally seemed to click in Bianca's mind, she made a horrified expression and started frantically searching for clothes. Black had pulled out of the bag a long white dress with thin straps buttoned across the chest. Bianca grabbed the garment with one hand and grinned at the Alpha. "Oh boy, Mister Red Flags takes it to another level?" Black grunted as he saw his soul mate begin to dress. Bianca buttoned the dress to her chest and gave him a questioning look. "What? Is

Black and Bianca came to a large clearing. The grass was so high that it reached above Magnus's knees and below Bianca's hips. She looked around in wonder. The trees were giant, and their leaves rustled in the wind. Magnus took both her hands and gave her a shy smile. His eyes suddenly clouded over. He sent a message to his Beta to make sure no one put a paw in the area where he and his Luna were. "Who did you just communicate with?" Bianca asked admiringly when she saw the forest green of the Alpha's eyes regain their intensity. "Duncan... our beta, Love," he replied. "Can you only communicate with one person at a time?" she questioned as she raised a hand to run her thumb over Magnus' green eye. "Technically, I can talk to the five hundred or so members that make up my pack. But... for their sake, I never do it," he said, suddenly looking down at the ground. Bianca took another step toward
