15. Call me by my name . . . Kaden was leading me by the hand deep into the forest, a part I have not thought of venturing into myself, I don't know much about the pack grounds since I have only spent my time in the pack house, Kaden's house, the pack clinic and the dining halls. I could hear the howls of the pack members from several directions, the full moon was almost approaching and they all could feel it coming. The sparks of the bond between us are heightened in me and I feel it strongly, my wolf is already scratching at the surface, I feel her closer to me, the moon has brought her closer to me. Kaden stops abruptly and I stop as well. "The pack members would not intrude on us here" he says, he lets go of my hand and I take in the surroundings before me, there was a small lake a couple of feet from us and fireflies surrounded the water dancing in the moonlight , there were scrubs everywhere and I finally understand that this was a meadow, I had not expected a place l

Another Possibility . . . "I am expecting a pregnant female to come in today Luna" Hannah reported, I was helping her organize some files, I frowned at the title, though Kaden had claimed me in front of his pack, the binding ritual was not done yet and I have began to see Hannah as a friend, three weeks has gone by since my mating with Kaden, and approximately two weeks and six days since I had my shift and Kaden suggested we gave our relationship a try. "Okay—Hannah I would prefer if you still called me by my name" I voiced. I still had trouble sleeping, I still believed this all to be a dream and I woke up each morning dreading that Kaden would once again despise me but he hasn't, he still held my hands to the dining halls, he still fed me and walked me to the clinic and came in the evening to walk me back, then we would have dinner and he would cuddle me to sleep, we don't have much of a conversation but I know Kaden is trying and I don't want to push him, "But you are Luna"

The Luna Binding Ritual . . . I was eager to know what Kaden was going to show me in the meadow that when he feds me, I hurriedly accept and chew on my food. Slow down, he says through the mind link, I bear him a guilty face before apologizing back through the link. When the breakfast was over we left the dining and into the woods and in no time we arrived at the meadow, the meadow was just as breathtaking in the day as it was in the night. It was even more beautiful and they were different colors of flowers I had not seen that night when I shifted. I look at Kaden and he had a weak smile before saying "This was Freya and I favorite place" "Oh" I mumbled, why did he take me to a sacred spot he shared with his mate, why did he even let me shift here. "I was here a day before the mating dance that was held at your former pack. I was angry and sad when James informed me that there would be a mating dance in RedSand and some of the unmated wolves want to participate" Kaden rev

The Alpha King is Dead . . . I was still in a state of shock, Kaden was holding me but I was still in a daze, Ciara was dead, she had been poisoned and she had ran mad and she had tried to kill me, why me?, Ciara last words meant that it was not intentional, she did not want to attack me meaning there was someone out to destroy me, was that what they did to my father?, to cut him off as well. "Anna, you have not said a word" Kaden said in a distressed tone, what could I possibly say?, my life was in danger and someone was after me, then my child was not safe. "I am sorry that your ritual ceremony got ruined but you are Luna now" he added, I glanced at him still livid of what was happening, Ciara had attacked after the ritual was done, I was Luna but now I was a target as well. "Someone is trying to kill me" I finally spoke, I watched as they carried Ciara lifeless body away, she was no more, we were never friends but she was still a pack member, she was this pack member and she

The Safe Room . . . The pack was preparing, the training session have been increased, border security were being kept at the maximum, the war was really coming but I could not understand anything, there had not been any declaration but Kaden was sure that his life would be targeted and my life as well. I was frightened,but I was trying my best to hide it from everyone including Kaden, I was now Luna and I don't think I would be given the privilege to breakdown in front of them, I had to be strong, the Alpha and Luna's strength determines how strong a pack was. It has just been a week since the Alpha King death, news also arrived that the Alpha Queen was missing and the entire atmosphere had completely changed. If Luna Tamara was involved in this should she not have been arrested by now, would Tamara actually kill her parents just to put her son on the throne, Luna Tamara was my mother's closest friend, it was difficult to think that the woman that once was like a second moth
