Little Bite Luna

Alpha Zane discovers that the girl his Beta found on pack terrain is his fated mate. But Mercedes is underage, coming from a nearby pack where the Alpha is known to be a very dubious figure. Zane realizes he'll have to wait until she's eighteen to claim her. Alpha Ahri grants permission for them to meet and bond until Mercedes also recognizes him as her fated mate. In the meantime, he ensures that she is trained for her position as Luna in his pack. Zane visits his mate more often in her pack and she spends as much time with him as possible.

But then Alpha Ahri's son becomes jealous of the close bond between the two and tries to drive them apart. His father cooperates and forbids Zane further access to his pack and Mercedes is also no longer allowed to leave her home. To force her to accept his son as her mate, the Alpha accuses her father and Beta of the pack, of fraud and betrayal of the pack. These suspicions of high-ranking wolves carry the death penalty. Mercedes faces a choice, accept Alpha's son Glary or drive her father to death. She fears being completely at the mercy of the Alpha family.

‘Alpha, quickly, you really have to check this one out,’ my Beta screams in the mind link.

I startle from my concentration and start to get irritated by this interruption. My desk is overflowing with work, I have a lot to catch up on. There is such a significant backlog, I'm still working myself to death here.

‘What's up, Jace? I'm trying to get through some documents here,’ I explain to him. ‘Is it something you can't handle yourself?’ I urge him.

‘Nah. You never believe this. This is something that no pack has ever come across’, he replies, shocked.

For the first time, I hear shock, no, panic in Jace's voice. As pups, we literally said our first word, took our first steps at the same time and later went through the same combat training. And I've never once seen him scared of anything. Jace is the kind of wolf who has the solution to all problems and never hesitates to take action. His appearance is his greatest advantage, he radiates a strong authority no one dares to fuck with. No one has the courage to challenge or ignore him, his word can only be surpassed by mine. And that’s something never happened before. Given our deep friendship, he knows me well enough to know how to act in critical situations. So, we are totally in sync.

The fact that he now asks for my presence in the field means that World War III is probably near. In any case, he managed to get my full attention.

'Tell me about it. And it must be really worth it now that you've distracted me from my work," I growl.

‘You won't believe this till you see it, man. This is the strangest thing I've seen since living in a pack. And that's all my life,’ he continues, still overwhelmed by whatever is happening at his side.

Still staring at the pile of papers on my table, all I think about is killing this Beta if he’s wasting my time for nonsense. I slam my fist hard on the desk. ‘Just keep me in the dark for one more minute and I swear to you, today is the last day your head is on top. I don't have time for rubbish, I yell furiously into the mind link.
