”Max”, Mindy called in a low voice when she approached Gideon and Maddox who were standing at the entrance into the cottage and staring at each other.She stood next to Gideon and asked Maddox, “What are you doing?””Why are you butting in?”, Maddox asked grumpily, irritated that he looked away first. “If he crumbles because I’m scrutinizing him, he doesn’t deserve to be your mate.””Let the youngster do his thing, princess.”, Gideon responded calmly, his tone turning softer as he realized that Mindy was wearing his shirt. He was so focused on the intruders (aka guests) that he didn’t pay attention to her clothes. She smelled of pumpkin and looked edible. “If a juvenile show of strength will make him happy, he can have it.”Mindy was not pacified. No matter how awesome Gideon was, he didn’t have the Alpha aura and if Maddox gets provoked he can suppress Gideon and that would put everyone in an awkward situation. “But…””The Moon Goddess paired us for a reason.”, Gideon interrupted Min

LTalia stared at Gideon like he was growing a second head. Did he say that there was nothing wrong with her wolf? And why did he sound so certain about it?”If my wolf is fine, why can’t I sense her?”Gideon looked at Talia with a complicated gaze. It seemed that she didn’t know much about her wolf side. “There are cases where the wolf part will sacrifice itself in order for the human body to survive, and I don’t know what happened to you, but I can tell you that your wolf right now is fine. Wolves are spirits that live inside us and bless us with longevity and what humans would call supernatural powers. Think of them like a flame; assuming that your wolf gave her strength so that you get better, it doesn’t mean her flame was completely extinguished. That happens every time we heal or perform beyond limits of what our bodies normally could if we were humans.” He paused because Talia’s confusion was obvious.Gideon decided to simplify it. “Wolves are more than just part of us; they hav

The guests left a while ago, yet Mindy and Gideon stood in front of their cottage, embracing each other in silence, each lost in their thoughts and the comfort of just being together.A long time ago, Gideon closed off his heart that was reserved for his mate. He was not inexperienced in pleasures of the flesh, but every woman who passed through his hands left him empty. He thought that the Moon Goddess denied him fated mate, for reasons unknown, and he gave up on finding his other half, yet with Mindy’s appearance all the walls he built over decades collapsed, and here she was… bright and welcoming, and for the first time in his life Gideon felt like he can breathe with full lungs, each breath filling him with the addictive scent of pumpkin. His pumpkin. Mindy.Mindy enjoyed Gideon’s warmth and his solid embrace that came with the irresistible scent of lavender, but her thoughts were focused on the things that are coming.She lifted her head to look at him. “Do I need to prepare an o

In the house where Marcy was…Talia, James, Dawn, and George were in the kitchen, all seated on chairs and staring at the screen of a laptop that showed the live feed from Marcy’s room. Marcy was on the bed, and Doctor Travis was checking her vitals and taking notes on his tablet.Dawn was nervously squeezing George’s hand and he gently caressed her knuckles, silently assuring her that Marcy had no effect on him. And she didn’t. The truth was that George didn’t want to be there, but as Commander George, he needed to be present. James observed with a boorish expression, and Talia was tense because she knew that Drake will enter the scene.Upstairs, Drake stared at the door like it was his mortal enemy while silently chanting James’ last instruction, “it needs to be convincing”.Drake hoped that just words will be enough and Talia won’t blow a fuse. He could feel her anxiousness spilling into him and he took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions. If Marcy sees through him, all this

Drake left Marcy’s room feeling victorious, but also apprehensive about meeting Talia’s eyes.While he was in that room with Marcy, Drake felt Talia’s unsteady emotions bouncing on him, and he was on the verge of dropping everything and just going to hold her. She needed comforting, and he needed assurance that she won’t leave. He was never so insecure. Maybe because he never truly cared about someone before.Drake hoped that Talia knew he held Marcy’s hand only for the show, and all the nice things he said were only to get Marcy to cooperate.He tried to focus on the positives.With this, level of alertness in the territory of the Dark Howlers pack can be lowered. No matter what Alpha Edward hears after his conversation with Marcy, he will think that it’s information from people who don’t know what’s really going on.In the meantime, Marcy will send to her father a few updates that James prepared already. Drake couldn’t believe that everything played out how the teen predicted.Drake
