Adira’s POV My wolf didn’t like being here at the Blood Moon packhouse and I knew it had to do with Alpha Xavier. We already have chosen Alpha Liam as our mate and Alpha Xavier’s advances on us were starting to rub us both the wrong way. Pulling Alpha Liam into the dining room, I noticed that Alpha Zane and Lyra had already taken seats and began to eat the spread that was prepared for us. The smell of the fresh cooked roast beef filled the air and made my mouth water, since it had been at least a day since I had eaten. Alpha Liam let go of my hand and pulled a seat out for me to sit and he took the seat next to me as I began to fill my plate full of the delicious array of foods. Alpha Xavier finally entered the room, surely after the shock wore off, that I wasn’t interested in going with him to change into something else more appropriate. Honestly, I would love to have a pair of sweatpants at this moment but there was no way in hell I was going with him to get it. Besides, I was

Adira’s POV After a hot bath and a change of my clothes, I waited for Alpha Xavier to return to my room to take me on a tour of his territory. An hour or so had passed and I was sure that he said he would return soon. Time began to pass and I began to wonder if he had forgotten about me. Moving to the door, I decided to go looking for him and find out what was holding him up from our tour of the pack lands. Opening my door to my room I peeked out into a long, massive hallway and was in awe at the number of doors that lined it. Stepping out into the hallway I heard voices coming from my right and decided to head in that direction. As I walked down the hallway, I peered out the windows that lined the hallway and stopped when I saw the training area outside and moved closer to the window as I found myself intrigued with the warriors sparring with each other. One in particular caught my eye and I found myself watching his every move inside the ring with his opponent. He was fast and

Liam’s POV A few days have passed since I woke up in a cell at Crimson’s pack along with my sister. We were being charged with witchery and falsely claiming that the Moon Goddess blessing of mates was back and we were put in here by no other than Alpha Zane, my sister’s true mate. I had no clue where they had taken Adira, but what I did know is I could still feel her presence in the mate bond, which leads me to believe she was okay. Lyra on the other hand was far from being okay, as she lay in the corner of the cell sobbing from the rejection of Alpha Zane. I tried multiple times to assure her that he was not himself and something was done to us at Blood Moon, but it didn’t do anything to soothe her pain. Alpha Zane only came to us once and that was to tell Lyra that he rejected her and her false claim to her as his mate. As soon as the words came from his lips it was as if her will to live left her and I knew that the bond between the two of them was real, just as mine was with A

Adira’s POV “There you are sleeping beauty.” I heard a man’s voice say as I slowly opened my eyes to see Alpha Xavier sitting on the bed next to me. “What happened?” I asked as I moved to sit up and my head once again began to hurt. “Here, let me help you.” He said as he reached for a pillow to put behind me. “You bumped your head while you were sparring. The pack doctor said it is nothing major thankfully.” I reached for my head at that moment to feel for a bandage or a bump but there was nothing. “I don’t remember anything.” I tell him as I begin to feel a bit confused on how I had hit my head. “I’m sure it will come back to you later. Right now, we just need to make sure that you heal.” Alpha Xavier said to me as he ran his hand up and down my arm like he was trying to soothe me. “Did I make a fool of myself?” I now asked him, hoping that I didn’t, in front of the whole pack. “No Dear, you were amazing and I think you should continue to train. I have never seen a she

Adira’s POV Shutting the door to the bathroom and locking it, I moved to the shower and turned on the water as cold as I could get it, as I stepped under it to try to calm my flesh that now felt like it was on fire. I knew there was only one thing that could be causing this and that was I was in heat, but I wasn’t ready yet to give myself to Alpha Xavier. I had to cool my body temperature down before the scent of my heat woke him. I had seen what a she wolf in heat could do to the male wolves of a pack, and I couldn’t imagine what it would do to an Alpha and what lengths he would go to get to his mate. Pressing my forehead to the cool tile of the shower, I found my hands roaming south as the heat within me began to build and I needed to find some sort of release from the burning desire between my legs. Closing my eyes, images of the Alpha from my dreams began to play in my head, of the two of us sexually together. My fingers began to move against the slickness of my interfolds a
