Morning came, Zander stay still at their bed but Ava told him that they need to get up.

He pouted his lips and then pulled Ava again towards his body.

She reasoned to him, she wiggled her body to get away from his grip, but he was so strong.

He chuckled and then kissed her deeply before letting her go. She hurriedly ran at their bathroom and do her business, before Zander followed. They both took their shower and dress theirselves.

Holding hands they went to kitchen to have breakfast.

Audrey greet and put another plates on the table. They greet her and the other good morning, took their seat and starts to fill their plates. Zander filled her plate with more food than his, that raised eyebrows from the people around the table.

All of them stop from eating and not even blinking from his announcement, until His Mom immediately hugged Ava while his Father congratulate him.

Audrey said while eyes already filled with tears. She embraced her son tightly while whispering something which cause Zander to smile.

Alpha Philip states, which caused Ava to feel anxious, recalling what Ruri said yesterday, what if by announcing it may complicate things. She looked at Zander and mindlink him.

'Zander, can you tell to your father to keep this for us for the meantime. I am afraid we will face problem if we will announce it now.'

'Ok, Love, I understand, is it about what Ruri said?'

'Yes.'

" Zander said to his father. His father went silent for a while but then nods his head as acknowledgement.

His eyes shines and you can tell that he is really happy knowing he is going to be grandfather soon.

." And all of them burst out into laughter.

Alpha Philip proudly said, Audrey shoot him a glare causing them to laugh again. Soon, Olivia came down and greeted them.

All of them greeted her back. Audrey offer her a pancake and bacon, which she happily accepts.

Ava asked.

She took her first bite and Thanks Audrey for the delicious food.

Soon Ava informed Audrey that they need her help for the ball dress.

She quickly pulled her phone and dial a number. Soon someone answer and they talked. After few minutes, she cut the line and looked at them.

She looked at Zander, and he gave her his nods. She smile at him and all go back their attention on their food.

Elsewhere, at the Dark moon pack, Luke started to arrange his big suitcase. He has already clothes for the ball party because Alec and him always attend some meeting and party across the North. He's not sure which color he will bring because he wants him and Olivia dress to be in same color. So he decided to bring Blue and Black tux.

He called his Beta to have some short meeting before he go.

I just hope that fucker never ask.

He give me bro hug and help me with my baggage. I grabbed the black folder that my Uncle gave me and plan to open and read it on the way to Blood Moon.

I gave him also a bro hug and tapping his back.

He nods his head and we proceed to my car, I plan to bring my mercedes -AMG S65, thinking that my SUV is with Zander, so must be convenient if I bring small car. After putting my things inside, I nod my head to Alec and Luis who just now came from patrolling, that I'll go. I start the engine and drive fast onto Blood Moon where my lovely mate is waiting, sighing that I need 2 and half hours to be there.

Fuck this is boring, so to reduce my boredom, I open the folder and check who is the person that my Uncle wants his/her head in a plate.

To my horror, the name written is the name that I cannot forget. Who will forget the name of your Mate!

Isabelle Louise Cox

My fingers are trembling and my breathing turns heavy. I abruptly stepped on break and the car came to halt that cause screeching sounds and stench of burning tires.

me and my wolf growled. If he's here, I will snap his neck or kill him limb from limb.

Why I didn't spare some time to check this file, atleast I can ask more my Uncle who order him to do this.

If only I just look...

I spend more minutes to calm down, and when I am ok, I return my eyes on the rode.

I'm furious and at the same time nervous.

Lucas my wolf really fought me for dominance and he wants to come back at the pack house to kill the fucker, but I keep him in bay, I cannot allow him or else we will be in deep trouble. He might kill Lucia and Have Idea that I met already this person in the file.

I pulled out my phone and dial Olivia's number. I really need to hear her voice to help us calm down.

'Hello'

I said in soft voice even though my demon wants to get out.

'Nice to hear that, are you alone or you bring Alec with you?'

Hoping that she's not because I really want to talk to her until I reach the Blood Moon.

'Nah, Just we finished with the couturier, I-I ah actually faced difficulty in choosing the design and color.' She sighed at the other line, like some weights lifted from her shoulder.

I hope it is not so sexy and revealing, that sexiness and gorgeous body belongs only for my eyes, which Lucas agreed to.

'Nah, I can't tell to you' ohh and she's teasing me.

'Because' I can visualize her pouty lips while looking away from me.

I heard her sighing, while I think about other topic so that I can still talk to her, even nonsense.

'I talked to Uncle Jake, I asked him if he likes to come with me if ever I will move with you, he said there's no argument about that, he will go whereever I go.'

'Yeah, he's like a father and mother to me.'

After talking for more than 1 hour, Me and my wolf felt relief. I almost forgot my dilemma because of her alluring voice. Right now my focus is to arrive there safe and untroubled. I heard someone called her, might be her Uncle, I expected her to cut the line, but to my luck, she told me 'wait for a moment'.

I grin like a cheshire cat, assuming that she misses me the way I miss her too.

Well a man can dream, right?

After few minutes of waiting, she back again and told me that his Uncle had faced same problem in choosing the color of his suit for the ball. I laugh so hard, because according to her, her Uncle decided to just wear casual shirt and jeans, adding that the simple the better. But she insists that formal suits are required, so he has no choice.

When I noticed that I just need 30 minutes drive, my heart beats so fast, as I felt sudden rush of excitement. Lucas, howl inside if my head, barking me to drive much faster so that he can see his mate, as if I am not.

Soon, Olivia told me that she needs to go but not before she said, that she will wait for me at the front door of the pack house for me.

After she cut the line, I reached same time the border.

I told the warriors, their eyes clouded, must mindlinking Zander. Then after few seconds, the warrior stare back at me and gestures me to pass. I thank them and drove towards the pack house.

I saw that Zander and Ava already there along my Mate. She smile at me and I returned the smile. I quickly get out of my car, and to my surprise, she ran towards me and jumped. I was stunned but I make sure that I caught her. I hold her bum while she wrapped her legs around my waist and burried her face to my neck.

What the heck happened to her? It's like she misses me so much, which I am not complaining.

I inhaled her scent and kissed her marked. She purred and tilted her head to look at me.

She said.

I replied. Zander interrupted us by clearing his throat.

He smirks, and then turn to his mate.

She asked, I smile at her, and answer her question while still carrying my mate. Soon, she start to wiggle, but I asked her to stop and told her that something might wake up, which caused her to frown, like she didn't catch what I said.

She's so innocent.

But my happiness shattered, because her Uncle shoot me a murderous glare.

Me and him had agreed to not show PDA in front of him.

I carefully put down my mate but gave her a quick peck on lips.

Ava remarks.

I smile at her, while Zander ask one of their housekeeper to help me unload my suitcase, but I refuse the help. I told him that I can manage to take it.

Olivia offers her hand, which I quickly take. We walked towards my car, but by the time I can hide the black folder, she already have it and opened it to my terror. Her eyes quickly change from blue into violet. Hands shaking and I feel the sudden change of air around us.

Her voice filled with anger.

We held each other gaze, As I want her to know that I am not lying. Soon we lower our gaze and she starts to walk but still holding the folder, while me took the suitcase and followed her.
