Luna Ariel's POV still This evening I learned a lot about Clarita. She finally seems to be able to speak her mind. She talks about her childhood, her parents not returning from their umpteenth honeymoon when she was a teenager, and her marriage to Matt, her first love. Her parents loved each other and her dearly, her mother was a housewife and her father a businessman who earned well. They often holidayed in Asia because her mother loved the street food there. She has so many fond memories of her parents that her face lights up when she recalls them. It all becomes different when she starts talking about Matt, her husband. When they met at a mutual friend's party, he was the perfect gentleman. They were inseparable, he even encouraged her to finish her degree, which he himself did. After three years of dating, he asked her to marry him. By then he had started his own business and was earning enough to support a family. He put in long hours at work and she often wen
Still Luna Ariel's POV Clarita surprises me and even herself while shopping. She appears to have a refined talent for matching clothes, picking out the right jewelry and selecting the perfect shoes. Even the shop assistants are impressed by her skills. For someone who has never worked outside the house before and who claims not to be particularly fashion-conscious, she now truly seems to have a talent for picking out the appropriate style. As we were paying at the till, the manager walked up to her. "If you are ever looking for a job, come join us," the manager offers. "We have numerous customers who are not sure which style suits them. A talented worker like you would be very welcome". Shyly, Clarita nods. "I will definitely do that. Thank you for the compliment," she replies. It is definitely meant, my new friend thinks too little of herself. And I am confident that if she takes the job, she will make it a great success. In the end, we leave with more than we inte
Still Luna Ariel's POV Clarita turns to me with a look as if she is asking for my permission to follow the man. I nod and we walk behind Ivan to a door at the back of the building. A security guard is standing there, giving him a bro hug and holding the door open. "Del ... hmmm ... Mr. Ivan, how nice of you to visit us again. It's been a long time," the guard exclaims, giving us a quick glance. "You're here with the ladies. Have fun, my friend". The door closes behind us with a loud bang. We walk down a corridor with colored spotlights until we reach a double glass door. "Let's go to my VIP lounge. You will have a good view from there and can sit comfortably until you decide to go out on the dance floor," he offers. We smile gratefully and he leads us to a strategic corner where there is a soft couch and a tea table. Once we are seated, a waiter walks up to us and we all order a drink. "Do you come here often, Ivan? The workers seem to know you very
Alpha Zane's POV "You lost track of her? Wasn't she with you? And the club was busy, how did she go unseen? Damn it!" I can barely contain my anger and slam my fist down hard on the table. Only yesterday my Delta Ivan told me he had located Ariel. She had even checked into one of our hotels in Miami. Ivan had acted as if he were the restaurant manager and, so as not to look suspicious, had pretended to be impressed by the woman in her company. Everything went smoothly, the plan was to drug her in the busy club and take her on my private Jet to Midnight Moon. The Jet was already on its way to Miami. And these two fools, whom I pay a hefty salary, let her go, she escaped their notice. And with so many scents around, they obviously couldn't track her right away. When they finally caught up with the taxi driver who had picked up the women, he revealed that he had taken them to a bus station where up to 20 buses leave for all over America. The Goddess knows how happy I was when Ivan fir
Again Alpha Zane's POV I sink into the warm water, my head back against the wall. With my eyes closed I concentrate hard, the bond between Ariel and me is still weak as our wolves have not yet accepted each other. It takes a lot of energy, but with my Alpha strength I can slowly break through. We cannot communicate verbally, but I can let her feel my moods. Happiness, longing, and lack I convey to her and I notice that she is startled. She probably didn't think I would be able to reach her. But I can feel the bond strengthening again. If I'm to believe my Delta, she left Miami by bus, so it could be that she's moving closer to New York again. I have to act fast because this could all change if she changes direction again. 'Come back to me, mate. It is impossible to escape the fate of the Moon Goddess. Come and let us complete the mating process. I'll be waiting,' I whisper. 'Selene, please bring her back. I long for her so much, I have waited for he
Alpha Gorgio's POV I couldn't refuse when Ariel's father, Alpha King Petric, called and invited me to a meeting at his pack. Alpha Zane had asked him to mediate, the man wanted to work out arrangements with me in this triangular mating. Like my father-in-law, he believes Ariel will come back when she knows we have reached an agreement and we all accept that we are now both mated to her. Alpha Zane is obviously disillusioned. I have no intention of sharing Ariel with anyone. She is mine, the Moon Goddess blessed and ratified our mating at the Joining Ceremony. Selene created me as I am now, with all my character and habits. And she knew I would never agree to share my mate, now or ever. I am capable of waging war if necessary, even challenging that wretched Alpha to keep my mate. He'll keep his claws off her if he knows what's good for him. Either way, Alpha Zane won't live. I am damn sure Ariel will stay with me and reject this mating as well. And to put an end to his claim, I will
Again Alpha Gorgio's POV Furiously, I jump to my feet again. The chair collapses behind me. I shift partially, my claws coming out. This Alpha owes his life today to our host, the father of my mate. In any other case or place, if he had dared to suggest this bullshit to my face, I would have crushed the scum to death. Look at him, even thinking about sleeping with my woman for a whole month! Xander is so ready to get down to business. "Try putting your paws on my mate and see what I'm capable of! I challenge you, Alpha Zane," I snarl viciously. "You fool! Did you really think I would agree to this shit? Do I look like a pimp to you? You didn't even have to come out of your house with that shit proposal." My Beta Jace is also infuriated. "Alpha Zane, I speak on behalf of my pack, Eclipse Howl," he rumbles. "The disrespect you showed our Luna today will not go unpunished. I swear to you that we will avenge our Luna's honor. You have just made a grave mistake".
Alpha Zane's POV Midnight Moon is buzzing with activity. My pack members are pulling out all the stops to welcome their Luna as a queen and to shower her with plenty of love. Many already know her, her mating with Gorgio was widely reported in the werewolf live stream media and most discussed on social media. Until now, I cannot believe that she was actually coming. Especially after Gorgio's outburst and threats. I had already prepared myself for a tough battle to win my Luna, maybe even petition the Council. With the King and Queen as witnesses, I would certainly win the case. And the consequences would be very unpleasant for all of us since everything would be widely noted in the press. Maybe even spiced up for the thrill or high sales. So, when Alpha King Petric informed me two days after the failed meeting that Ariel had agreed to move to Midnight Moon, I couldn't believe my ears. However, there are conditions attached to her arrival, which she will go through wi
