Luna On The Run!

Alpha Zane’s POINT OF VIEW

Kensley or me, I don’t know who looks more miserable.

My Head Warrior hasn’t slept well in days. His face is contorted with pent-up emotions and there are thick bags under his eyes. The few times he has closed his eyes, he has groaned in his sleep and woken up soon after. He didn’t want to talk about what was bothering him, but I’m sure it’s more than just the fact that the Luna is on the run.

But there is little I can do for him. The pain I feel from Clarita’s rejection is too much to bear. And she is pregnant with my pup. A double pain that drives me to the brink of madness. Now that Kensley and I are mentally unstable, Eric is in charge of Alpha duties. He takes our advice on day-to-day matters but acts as my delegate. Neither my best friend nor I are capable of making sound decisions for the pack.

We are back on the sofa in my office, Eric sitting at my desk doing paperwork.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

I wipe the sweat from my forehead, my heart racing, making me almost breathless. If I hadn’t kept in shape, I’d probably have had a heart attack by now. Clarita must come back to me. Even if humans don’t feel the mate’s pull the way werewolves do, it’s only a matter of time before she’s drawn back to me.

The last time we met, I tried to explain to her why I had to go back to Ariel when I heard she was still my mate. It is incomprehensible to humans, but with the mate bond intact, I could never take Clarita as my mate. And with the mate pull working strongly on my side, getting Ariel back was my first priority. But when I saw she was pregnant with Gorgio, I knew I had to let her go.

And then Clarita felt like a homewrecker, a replacement after I became mateless. Even though I swore to her that she was my second chance mate, decided by Selene.

“Zane, you don’t have much time left. Another week and I am sure another Alpha will challenge you for your position. Time to act. And you can’t even count on me, I’m as weak as you are.” Kensley sighs deeply, we both know Eric wouldn’t stand up to an Alpha on a mission. A Beta is strong, but still no match for an Alpha.

Just then, a text message comes through on my phone.

Beta Jace. ‘The plane will be landing in five minutes. According to the agreement with Ariel and Gorgio, you are not allowed to frighten her ‘. Joy fills my heart, I will finally see my mate again.

“The plane lands in five minutes, Kensley. We have to leave now if we want to be on time.” You can hear the excitement in my voice. Kensley jumps up, his eyes sparkling with delight.

“What’s wrong with you, man? It’s not just Clarita. Have you met your mate?”

He takes a deep breath and nods. Surprised, I stare at him. “Where is she? Did she reject you and is that why you look so bad these days?”

“No, she didn’t reject me. She is on duty, protecting her Luna, which is actually my job. But now that she is closer, I can stay with you.”

Incomprehensibly, I frown, there’s so much information in what he’s saying.

“Do you mean she is with Clarita now, protecting her?” I ask thoughtfully. That’s when it hit me. “Is it Clarita’s friend who was in the car and came to get her? Is she your fated?”

My friend nods sadly. ” That’s her. And she won’t come to me until you and Clarita have made up. Her job as the head warrior’s mate is to make sure the Luna and the future Alpha are protected,” he explains. He runs a hand over his face. “Holy goddess. And I haven’t even had the chance to hold her in my arms, to feel her body against mine. I couldn’t fully inhale her scent, she was too far away. But I long for her so much.”

“Then you know her name and what pack she is from? She must be a werewolf to have taken on her responsibilities” I begin to feel sorry for Kensley, his happiness is completely tied to mine. If Clarita never comes to live here, he will miss his mate too. Shit, this is going completely wrong.

“Serene! Beta Jace said she left his pack with Clarita and never came back. She is from Eclipse Howl.”

“Come, let’s go. So you can meet your mate too. I hope it works out better with you than it did with Clarita and me,” I sigh sadly. After saying goodbye to Eric, we went outside. We strip, tie our clothes to our feet and shift into our wolves. It’ll be faster to cross the border with our beasts.

Gorgio agreed to let us enter his territory from the west, just the two of us. After the war was called off, I approached Ariel and Gorgio to help me find Clarita. As Ariel’s friend, my mate would be more likely to return, and I would try to win her back. But Ariel insisted that I keep my distance until she gave me the signal to approach Clarita. She herself would try to persuade her friend to talk to me.

But for today, I am allowed to admire my love from a distance. It is a small gesture, but enough to cheer my wolf up. Claw longs for his mate and tries to persuade me to look for her every day. He is weak himself, and I think he will feel much better when he sees her.

And now it looks like Kensley will be happy today too. He is such an introvert, he never talks about his own problems and is so devoted to the pack and his Alpha. I don’t know how much I can interfere, but I will do everything possible to bring him and Serene together.

Now that I am determined to persuade Clarita to accept me, the problem of my head warrior will be solved at the same time.

As we crossed the border, I heard the Jet. It is about to land. We are not far from the runway, just in time. We hide as close as we can behind a tree. As the door slides open, I see my wife standing at the opening.

So beautiful. She stands proudly in the sun like a princess. My eyes wander to her round belly where she holds my pup safely. A feeling of pride runs through me, soon I will hold my son in my arms.

Next to me, I can hear Kensley’s sharp gasp for air. ..
