Chapter 6

Arya's PoV~

It was a few days later and I'm getting low on supplies again. I knew this was coming so with this past couple of days, I headed to the Nightstar Pack.

I haven't heard much about Alpha Joel and Luna Bella. I know they're fairly new leaders.

Alpha Joel's father was a very chill Alpha. He was known for the equality of she-wolves in his pack. Fingers crossed; Alpha Joel has the same chill attitude.

From what I've heard, his mate and him had a cute love story. She was a servant, or something like that, when they met, and she became a Luna. Usually only happens in stories.

I was following the Nightstar Pack's southern border, just having my ear out for any people I could hear. Many wolves, usually families, hang out near the border for more privacy. And those people are the ones I target.

It wasn't until about two hours of running that I finally caught the scent of two people. Just by their scent, I could tell they were people of authority. But I couldn't tell how much authority, so I decided to risk it.

People of authority are more likely to be bigger in size, therefore they eat more. And it was a little past dinner time.

I made sure to stay quiet as I headed towards them. They were right by the edge of the border, but still on the inside of the pack boundaries.

Once I got close enough, I was able to get a look at the two. The two young adults, definitely mates, were splashing around in a small body of water. A few meters away from them was a blanket spread out with food and some jackets.

I came for the food but a new jacket would be great. My jacket still has a huge hole in it and its color is a little too bright. I needed a jacket that camouflaged well with my surroundings. So, the material would have to be a darker color.

My current jacket is bright red. I love the color, it's actually my favorite, but it didn't blend in.

The couple diversed in size. The woman was around my height and size. My size is below average for she-wolves, the average being around 6'0. While the average height for males is 6'4.

The man with her was a lot taller, around 6'6. His arms were wrapped around his mate, showing off his muscles.

I removed my hands from my pockets. I didn't want to hurt them but without my hands, they could both easily take me down.

My fingers started to spark as I stepped forward.

Theia whined as she watched the happy mates, too busy enjoying the other's presence to realize we were there.

I took a few more steps until I was able to reach out and grab the food. They had it organized in a cute basket that was easy to carry. I assured the basket was stable in my hand before reaching further and gripping the dark blue jacket.

What I didn't see was the shoe that was laying on top of the jacket. As I lifted the jacket, the shoe fell and hit the ground with a thud.

I felt my heart stop as the sound traveled to the couple.

Both of their heads snapped to me. I watched as the male's eyes lit with rage; I knew it was the idea of there being a threat to his mate's safety.

I dropped the jacket as the male raced towards me. I tried to back away, but he was much faster than me.

As he got closer, I raised my hand. Before I could blink, my fingers twitched with light. Next thing I know, the male is laying on the ground.

I knew with the size of him, he would be back up in less than a minute, especially with his mate so close. The mate bond will give the strength he needs to protect his mate.
