Ximena's POV

Alexia and I have a complex relationship; I can appreciate her humor and strength as an Alpha, and I will always trust her to help my Pack. On the other hand, she brought out an ugly side of me. I wasn't a jealous person, but whenever the flirtacious wolf would mess with Lorcan, I'd go into a possessive frenzy. It was hard not to be envious of her looks. 

The twenty-one year old woman was a tall statusque build beauty with wild brown hair and vibrant green eyes; her skin was darker than chocolate, bringing a beautiful contrast in her body. She was wearing a yellow sundress that failed to hide her curves, and it accentuated her long legs. Hell, no matter how many times my mate swore that he was only in love with me, I know that if we weren't mates, he would definitely try to get her to bed. 

"Alpha Lorcan. Luna Ximena." She embraced my mate quickly and then gave me a small peck on the mouth; I froze, not sure what to do, but Lorcan had no problem reacting. After a thundering growl, he yanked me into his arms, snarling at the woman viciously. Mikey and his mate were cracking up at us while Alexia merely smirked at me. 

"She's mine!" Hearing the possessive edge in his voice brought shocks up my spine, and I bit my lip to avoid sighing. I did have a reputation to maintain. 

"Is she flirting with your mate again?" Regina, the Mexican beauty, came in from the darkness, hazel eyes calming assessing the situation. Her curly hair remained wild on her, and she looked darker than ever. A beautiful blue dress draped her body, bringing out the calmness in the Beta. This time, she was accompanied by a male. He was a tall man with sharp and commanding features, but there was something vulnerable about him. While he was taller than the petite Regina, it was painstakingly obvious who was the more dominant of the two. I noticed some teenagers passing by us, eying the man; apparently, Regina did as well. She growled angrily at them, and the girls ran the other direction. I raised an eyebrow at the woman, and she shrugged at me. "This is my mate, Santoro." We both nodded in his direction respectfully, and he did as well. Regina was the more level head of the two women.

"Alphas." Aleksander walked in with Piper, a worried look on his face. 

Luna, we have a problem.

Are Belinda and Braden alright?

Yeah, they're fine. But they did something.

i narrowed my eyes at him, silently seething.

"Are you alright, Luna?" I jumped as I heard Alexia speak to me concernedly. I merely nodded my head with a smile, mindlinking Faolan, 

Faolan, I need you to check up on something with Aleksander and Piper.

Yes, Luna.

"So, Luna, what's the celebration for?" Grinning, I gestured to Lottie and said, 

"Well, my dear cousin is going to be a father, and I think that's cause enough for celebration." Mikey blushed, and he immediately began to interject. 

"Ximena, you don't-" I cut him of with a wave of my hand. 

"We are having a party, and that's final, Michaelangelo. This is a big deal." My mate grinned at Mikey, and I was happy to see the utter excitement in his green eyes. 

"Well, good think you invited me because we Brazilians know how to party." Then, right on cue, a whole mob of wolves came in, carrying beer coolers and six packs. I felt my eyes widen, and then, Alexia said, "Luna, when was the last time you got drunk?"

Belinda's POV

"AND WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU TWO THINKING?!" Braden and I glued our eyes to the ground while the Delta screamed at us. A mad Delta was a mean Delta. "BRADEN, YOU BETTER BE LOOKING AT ME!" Jeez, who the hell pissed off Faolan today? "BELINDA!" I dared to look up to see flaming angry brown eyes glaring at me. I flinched at the sight. We were in the kitchen of the packhouse, now suffering the wrath of Braden's father. Not good. "You two have really done it this time-"
