POV Rasheed:I can’t sleep at all; I keep smelling vanilla cupcakes and I honestly think I am losing my mind. I don’t know if it is from being at the bakery with Gianna or what, but the smell followed me back to my room.“Trig…. Trig, you awake?” I mind link Trigger.“Yeah man, I’m a little preoccupied with a she wolf at the moment, can it wait?” Trigger links back.“It can wait enjoy your evening” I say and close off the mind link.Man, what am I going to do, I have feelings for a she wolf who hasn’t even shifted. An annoying she wolf back home that I promised I would make my Queen Luna and, I can’t get the smell of them damn cupcakes Gianna makes out of my nose. I am straight up going through it right now. My head is so muddled, I need a drink and a dessert. I get out the bed and go to the bar to pour myself a drink.“Lucas please don’t leave me! Please stay open youreyes Lucas PLEASE.”I hear screaming and it sounds like Gianna, I rush into her room and find her thrashing on the b

POV: GiannaIt’s about an hour before I shift so the party is in full swing. I decided on an outdoor party, just because of the shifting. It is gorgeous.The tent is black and when you walk in there are blue up lights against the black drapery. The tables are round and adorned with black table clothes. The chairs are black and have royal blue sashes. The tables are decorated with white roses in silver vases. The chargers are royal blue with silver flatware. The ceiling has black drapery as well and blue twinkling lights. There’s a stage where dad will hand the title over to me and a huge dance floor with a DJ off to the left.The food will be buffet style, you know us wolves love to eat. We have several food stations: pasta, chicken, steak, salad, fish, cheese, veggie, potato, taco, and sandwich stations. Let’s not forget my dessert station: cheesecake, cupcake, mousse, cobblers, brownie, mini pie, cookie, and chocolate fountain stations. When I say I went all out, I did my thang.Mom

POV: RasheedI must say I have never seen anyone any more beautiful than Gianna. She is on the stage and has just been given her rightful Alpha title. Her beautiful gown is royal blue, of course her pack colors, with tons of crystals draping over it. It is a ballroom type of dress, and it looks tasteful and proper for an Alpha ceremony. I love how she covers her body with the cape. As if saying, ‘I am conservative woman and not just any man should see my body’. Absolutely stunning.I don’t want to take my eyes off her, but shortly after she announces her higher rankings Trigger comes and disturbs me. Handing me a tissue.“Here I thought you might need this, since yourdrooling and all.” He chuckles.“Fuck off Trig, I can’t help it something about Gianna makes me want to protect and spoil her at the same time. I can’t get her out of my mind.”“Hmmm seems like you are in one peculiar predicament. You do realize that when you come home you will be taking Octavia as your mate, and she wil

POV: GiannaThe party is winding down and I have to ask myself am I spending the night with Rasheed or am I going to bed alone?“Are you ok my Queen? Rasheed asks.“Yes, just feeling a little bit tired. It’s been a long day. I am ready to call it a night.”“Okay would you like to join me in my bedroom, or would you want me to sleep in Onyx’s bedroom with you?” He asks.“Actually, I was going to spend the night alone in Onyx’s bedroom, that is until we talk about everything tomorrow. If that’s ok.”“Oh ok, well can I at least walk you to your bedroom?” he asks with sad eyes.I instantly feel bad, and my wolf wants to give him whatever he wants.We headed into the pack house, I grab a bottle of Hennessy, and a glass. Tonight, is going to be a long night. We reach Onyx’s door and Rasheed kisses me on the cheek.“Goodnight my Queen, sweet dreams.” He says sounding defeated.He walks back towards his room with his head hung low. As much as I wanted to spend the night with Rasheed, I just c

POV Rasheed:I fell out of the bed after that intense dream, it felt so real. I wish I could have done that to her last night, she smelt so good, and she tasted delicious. It’s as if I can really taste her on my tongue. I need to be near her, but I must also respect her wishes. I get back into bed and go back to sleep once again, hopefully having another dream like that.Morning has come and I get out the bed. I decided to do some training before our meeting later today. I must say I am excited to see my mate. She’s so beautiful. My wish has come true, I’ve wanted Gianna to be my mate since I laid my eyes on her.I have to call my father and let him know I have found my mate, I’m sure he will want to be at the meeting as well.“Dad” I urgently say.“Hey son, how was the party last night? Is everything alright?” Dad asks.“It was great, that is why I called, I wanted to let you know that I found my mate!” I beamed.“That’s great son, but what are you going to do about Octavia. She is w
