Zayden's P.O.V.

My mind kept wandering to the words she spoke last night. Every word replayed in my head, like a broken record. Her voice craved into memory, sweetening the words the ever more. Her words held power, such that was able to empower my wolf and I to our almost original strength.

Once again, the power and influence of the mate bond stunned me. How just simple words could the key to returning to almost full strength silenced me in wonder. The unspeakable power it held. The mate bond holds half your soul in your mate.

And therefore, I did not understand. All I saw in her was purity and innocence, not a speck of my soul could be seen in her little being. And there certainly wasn't any bit of her nature in me. Creating an angel for the devil. What a catastrophic mistake the Moon goddess made, yet underlyingly perfect, for the devil craved for the innocence and purity of the angel; to engulf that light within her.

Now, all that was left was for her to find out the truth.

Little did she know, I was that wolf..

A smirk stretched on my lips at the thought.

"Alpha Zay are you even listening to a word I'm saying?" Jackson broke me out of my chain of thoughts. He cut through the melodic voice that played in my head.

My eyes held the unspeakable anger through the glare. Time to time I had been zoning out on what Jackson informed me about this year's mating ball. But it no longer concerned me. Sadly, that wasn't the same for the members of my pack, my Beta included.

Jackson eyes, however, narrowed on me, studying like a hawk, before a smirk stretched on his lips, much like the one I was wearing mere moments ago, "I do have a few names coming to mind on who you're thinking a about. Actually just one." He shrugs.

My eyes drew away from him and concentrated on the gleaming wooden walls of my office, as I ignored his words.

"The mate bond is getting to you?" He chuckled.

Jackson, if you stop soon..

"And the things you said it.." Another chuckle left his mouth as he shook his head.

"Enough Jack! We need to fix the mating ball ceremony.' I told him, keeping my stern voice as I once again ignored his words. A mating ball is hosted every year. A different pack hosts it every year. Once again, the time for my pack to host the event had come.

"Now he wants to plan.." He murmurs.

There was a high possibility in finding your mate at this ball. Over the years, I had no such luck, but at the same time I was never interested. A Luna for my pack, wasn't my top priority. I had grown to hate the event, as it become a complete waste of time, but soon I found a get use of bad time, into a good by letting some she-wolf daringly seducing me until I had her underneath me, driving my cock into her her.

This year out of all the years, I need to be careful, not only I had rogues ready to strike at any given time, but also a human family living among us; Athina's family. It was a high risk, but I didn't have a choice, and canceling such an important and close event wasn't possible. It will cause riots and my pack will loose all respect for me, might even considering leaving. I sighed and ran a hand over my face? I needed to plan a ball that was defendable against the rogues and unsuspicious in the eyes of the Aginihothari family. And Athina is keen on wanting to find out about the truth that hid behind the masks and lies. The curiosity in her eyes was undeniable, and with the determination that backed it up she wasn't willing to give up. She maybe a weak mere human, but I could see the mental strength in her, one that was hidden with the innocent and naïveness of her personality. Mental strength was the most important quality of a Luna. Yes, leadership was needed, but one could not achieve leadership with a weak mental strength. The Luna gives the pack wisdom and self confidence, while the Alpha protected and trained them. While I was doing just fine with having the role of both, apparently the Moon goddess disagrees.
