Luna On The Run!

Once again Luna Ariel’s POINT OF VIEW

After I toured the room, I decided to improve my mood by taking a bath. The bathroom is very luxurious, it has a large bathtub with a Jacuzzi and there are some nice scents on a shelf.

I walk into the living room and, as the Alpha had indicated, there is indeed a suitcase. When I opened it, I saw a number of jeans in different colors, loose blouses, scarves and two evening dresses. I notice that there are no shorts or open tops among them, and the dresses have proper long sleeves and a decent cut, nothing revealing. Not that I have a problem with that, but the choice is striking.

I wonder if the Beta arranged this himself or if he did it at Alpha Zane’s behest.

With a sigh, I pick up the case and carry it to the bedroom, where I place it on the sofa. There is no way I am going to unpack, I have no intention of staying here too long. Three months at the most, and not a day more, but sooner if possible. Being so far away from Gorgio is not good for my wolf. And I sense my mate’s despair.

I lie in the fragrant water and relax. With my head tilted back, I try to feel Gorgio through our bond. He is stressed, but I send him some of my calming energy. Soon the tension is gone from his body and I smile. This connection between us is amazing and comes in handy now.

When I have had enough, I get out of the bath and dry myself off.

Now that I know Alpha Zane is nearby and probably has free access to my bedroom, I have taken my clothes into the bathroom. This way I can get out fully dressed.

I see that my room also has a private balcony. I happily go out onto it, it has a great view of a jungle with lots of fruit trees. Guess this is Alpha Zane’s private forest.

“Whenever you feel like it, our wolves can go for a long walk there. They won’t be disturbed”. With a start, I turned my head in the direction of the voice. And there he stands on his own balcony, smiling at me. My heart flutters at the sight of his handsome face.

“Alpha. You startled me.” I return the smile and wave at him.

“Sure, Alpha. Era will love that. She doesn’t miss a chance to be out in nature”.

“Why don’t you join me for lunch? We can sit here on the balcony and get to know each other better. And if you’re in the mood, we can release our wolves later”. I can’t ignore the expectation in his voice. If I want to make my time in this pack bearable, I will have to be flexible with the man.

“Yes, I can do that. Give me ten minutes and I’ll be at your door.” Relieved, he looks at me and holds up a thumb. I turn and go back into the bedroom. In my bag, I find the moist towelettes I always carry with me. I wipe my face and neck and comb my hair. One look in the mirror and I know I look good enough to face the Alpha.

As I leave the room, I bump into Beta, who is standing there.

“Beta, thank you for the clothes. That was a good choice you made. I was afraid it would be too airy”. His face is friendly, but I sense something else in his aura. This man feels familiar to me, his scent is mixed.

“I have been advised. Women’s clothing is new territory for me,” he answers more to himself.

“Beta, do you have a mate?” I asked out of the blue. I don’t know why I want to know and what his answer should mean to me. But for some reason, I feel like he is close family.

“Not yet. My mate is still young, I am waiting for her first shift,” he answers proudly. I can hear the longing in his voice. He is clearly looking forward to his mating. What wolf isn’t, after all?

“Isn’t she eighteen yet? Then how come you already know she is your mate?” I can’t help noticing. He chuckles in love.

“I guess her genes are potent. She was the one who told me we were mates. She is a strong woman, she even gave me an ultimatum to get her when she shifted. As if I would ever let her go.” Now I have to laugh too, his mate is definitely something else. Although I think she will continue to wait for him, she sounds confident. And if necessary, she will even come and get him here in Midnight Moon.

“Anyway, Luna, I am here to help you. You can call me for anything, I will be happy to be of service. I’ll send you a text message so you have my number”. Then he turns and leaves. I look after him thoughtfully. Eric didn’t ask me for my phone number, so how is he going to text me?

Oh well, I guess Alpha Zane has it all figured out. Maybe my contact details were on the conference registration forms.

Just as I am about to knock on the Alpha’s door, I see two servants arrive, each holding a tray. They smiled at me happily and bowed slightly.

“Luna! The Alpha has asked for lunch to be served in his room.”

I nod and open the door for all of us to enter. Alpha Zane stands there with his arms crossed, his face inscrutable. Uncertain, I look up at him and our eyes lock.

‘So handsome. He’s our mate, Ariel. We have a right to him too. Maybe we can have a taste of him before we go back to our real mate.’ I am alarmed by Era’s reaction. She confuses me a lot. Sometimes she dislikes Alpha Zane and then she becomes enamored with him.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

I push her away; I have no intention of deceiving Gorgio. He will never permit me to mate with another, even if that person is also my mate. I tear my eyes away from the depths in which the Alpha is trying to drown me.

“Put everything on the table on the balcony. Luna and I will eat there,” I hear him tell the servants.

And then he takes a step towards me. Probably his wolf has noticed Era’s worship and thinks he can use this weak moment to his advantage.

But I am a warrior, I have learned to master my wolf. Era is definitely secondary to my strength. I step back and the servants go to the balcony to serve.

And with that, the moment between the Alpha and me is over…
