Anaiahâs POV On my way to the office, I hear sniffing, I push open the door to one of the closets and I find Angela, her eyes are bloodshot red.
âAngie, what is it?â I crouch down in front of her, and she lifts her head to look at me and cries loudly.
âNothing,â She says, clearly itâs nothing if sheâs sitting in the broom closet crying.
âTell me what happened, did someone hurt you?â
âNo one Luna, Iâm sorry for this, Iâll just freshen up and we can start with work,â She stands up and straightens her skirt, I get up too and cross my arms against my chest.
âIâm your Luna and I order you to speak, now,â I command, she flinches at my tone and I close my eyes momentarily, wishing I didnât speak to her like that.
âI found my mate,â
âThatâs good news, why are you crying then? Did he reject you?â I narrow my gaze. She shakes her head, no.
âWhy didnât you tell us?â
âMy mate is from The Grey Lycan Pack, and heâs gone back to his pack,â
âI donât understand,â
âHe wanted me to go with him but I panicked and refused so he left angrily and Iâll never see him again,â
âDonât you want to be with your mate?â
âI do so much David is so charming but I canât leave this pack, my family and friends are here,â She says and I wrap my arms around her, I know that she and her parents are close.
âWhat about your mate, canât he transfer here?â I ask, she looks hopeful and her lips twitch âCan he?â
âIf his Alpha permits it, yes. What is his status?â
âHeâs a warrior with Delta blood,â She informs me.
âAngie if your mate is willing, please let him know that heâs welcome to this pack,â
We leave the broom closet and I escort her to one of the rooms to freshen up but on the way there, she stops in her tracks, staring at the nice-looking male in front of us, heâs from the Grey moon pack and I realize itâs her mate, David.
âYou didnât leave,â
âHow can I leave a part of me,â He speaks in a smooth accent, the two slowly approach each other and I take it as my cue to leave but David speaks, âLuna, I asked my Alpha for a transfer and as soon as he has time heâll begin the process, is it okay for me to be in your pack? I canât stay away from my love,â He says and I smile, nodding.
âYes, weâll find you a station in the pack according to your rank,â I inform him and they both beam, as I turn to leave, Angela squeals and jumps in the arms of her mate.
My phone chimes and I check it, Itâs my brother âUp for training? I can really use it,â
âSure, and I can use an ear,â I reply. I change into my training gear and open a portal to the Sunset pack.
âHello, You,â I hug my brother. He pulls away and gets his boxing gloves, throwing me a pair âCouldnât spar with one of your warriors?â I ask, he shakes his head âNone is strong enough for me,â He says, I put on my gloves and go into the ring, circling him. I throw a punch but he manages to avoid it. I smile and kick his side.
âWhat is it?â I inquire.
âWhat do you think?â
âScarlett?â I say as I successfully land a punch on his cheek. He nods âYep,â
âWe are just waiting for Silas to wake and we shall invade,â I feel bad for Enrique, knowing that his mate is out there suffering and unable to do anything about it is the worst torture one can suffer.
âThe doctors are not too confident about his condition anymore, they had a complication last night,â He informs me as he kicks me in my stomach and I fall to the ground âWhy wasnât I informed?â I snarl, groaning as I push myself off the floor.
âIâm doing just that, am I not?â He hisses, we spar a while longer until we are both exhausted. I take off the gloves and sit beside him.
âWeâll get her, I promise,â He smiles and kisses my hand.
âAnd you? How have you been, little butterfly,â I chuckle at the nickname he used, itâs been a while since he called me that âAs well as I can be,â
âWhat do you mean?â He raises his eyebrows âThe elder council wants us to produce an heir,â I tell him.
âTook them long enough to make that demand,â He murmurs âHmm,â
âAs King and Queen, they need to know that you are capable to reproduce, it has more to do with the stability of the realm really,â He says âI donât think I can do that just yet and the weird thing is that I think Leon also wants this now,â I whisper. Iâve read his emotions and he dreamed about having a son last night, he was happy and content. The words of the elders were replaying in his head, âAn heir for the strength of the realm, this will help avoid any insurgency,â
âWhat if I canât bare him a son?â
âDonât say that,â Enrique interjects.
âWhat if that was my only chance to have a son,â
âYou, little sister will have many kids and one of them, will be the ruler of the realm,â He says with a smile and I hug him. The pressure was getting real now, and I am fucking scared that I wonât be able to, questions of what if Iâm unable swarmed my mind, and the fear increased.
âYouâre scared,â Enriqueâs gentle voice rings to me and I nod my head.
âYouâll be alright, Ana, just let everything happen as the goddess planned out, and in all situations, remember my allegiance is to you first,â The way he speaks brings me comfort, I inhale and smile, knowing that he has my back.
