Love. What does it mean? Does it hold any significance? How does it feel to be in love? Do you live and die for that person, even breathe for him? How does one feel love? Perhaps by touch, a kiss or a hug. Can you buy love? Can you...

"Alpha!" Elriam's voice breaks me free from my thoughts. "Are you alright?" She questions me, eyes holding worry. She has never seen me so distracted before.

"I am sorry, I just don't feel like running today. Perhaps, some other time Elriam." I voice out my thoughts of her idea of us going out for a run together. Her eyes cast downwards, lips in a pout. She's upset, she wanted to spend time with me.

"Do not fret, Elriam. I just don't feel well today. My thoughts are consuming me, I need to rest my mind. A run will only make it worse." I try to cut through her disappointment. My answer making her eyes widen.

"No, I understand Alpha. Please rest. We will definitely go another time." She leaves with a bow. I did not go in for training today, I do not wish to see Deimos. I need some time to think. To calm my heart down. His words from last night stirred me more than I thought they would. How do you put a wall around your heart from your mate? It's just not possible and so I must bear all the hurtful words he hurls at me.

A pup stops my path home. She carries a flower crown in her tiny fingers and peers up at me. Her eyes sparkle whilst she shows me a wide toothless smile.

"Luna, I make you this. It be pretty, like Luna." Her bubbly voice fumbles around with words to speak correctly. She gestures for me to lower myself to the ground. I gradually kneel tilting my head towards the little creature questioning her antics. She delicately places it upon my head fiddling around with my hair.

"Thank you little one." I smile at her. A genuine smile, she made me content. This little gesture brought peace to my heart. My smile disappears to the sound of a click from a camera. I look to the side, Ragon with his phone pointing at me, mouth open and Deimos by his side, just staring at me with some sort of yearning. I bow my head down, a fervent blush creeping up my cheeks.

"Don't you think she is beautiful Alpha? I have never seen her smile like that." Ragon questions Deimos. However, he does not answer him merely keeps looking at me with those longing eyes. Not today Deimos, today you and I will not have a staring contest. I casually get up dusting my hands over my dress and clutch onto the tiny palm of the little pup.

"Come, let me take you back to your mother." I walk with her back to the packhouse without sparing him another glance. I neither wish to see nor converse with him. Today is going to be my day. I shall focus on myself.

Dropping the little one with her mom, I hurry towards the library excited to pick out a new book to read. I haven't had many duties to do in this pack, largely cleaning, helping the females with cooking and looking after the pups. I guess that's what Luna's do. Is that what I want to do? No. I was born and trained for different purposes, definitely not this.

Swiping my fingertips along the shelves, eyes scanning for something to grab my attention. I stop midway, feeling warmth encompass my back. It is him. Can't this male just give me some time to spend alone? I gasp when he settles his hands on the shelves caging me in his arms. He takes a deep breath in sniffing my hair. He waits for me to turn around but I don't. I will not abide by his wishes.

"Turn around and look at me, mate." His voice strained as if he is controlling himself. Brushing my hair to the side baring my neck to him, he takes another deep sniff groaning his constraint. My scent is his drug and he is an addict.
