Luna On The Run!

Alpha Gorgio’s POV

Alexis is sticking to her plan.

I hate that she’s doing all this. It makes me feel like a coward who can’t provide his mate with the protection she requires. I should have ripped that Alpha’s head off, the disrespect towards me was outrageous.

From afar, I watch as Alexis convinces her father that she is capable of getting Ariel and bringing her to Alpha Zane so that they can patch things up. She would see to it that they came to terms and then mediate between them and me.

My father-in-law knows how close the bond is between his daughters and he is desperate for this matter to be resolved as soon as possible. Meanwhile, this triangular mating has reached the whole werewolf community and is the talk of the day. Everyone is watching, wanting to know how this will end. No one expects Zane to come out of this alive.

Together with my sister-in-law, I go to the witch Xanna to make the necessary preparations.

Xanna is a witch in her own right, modern, funny and all that. After we tell her what is going on and what we expect of her, she yawns with laughter. I’m so uncomfortable with this, I’m not really used to asking for favors from third parties. But Alexis assures me that the witch is her best friend, which is somewhat comforting.

After several rituals, I watch as Alexis transforms into Ariel before my very eyes. Not that they are very different. The age difference disappears, her hair becomes fuller and her features match those of my mate. Xanna hands Alexis an oil to rub behind her ears every day. This will make Alpha Zane feel the mating bond. Only a wolf cannot be forged by the witch.

“Don’t worry. The oil will make him feel that your wolf is not yet ready to bond with him,” Xanna explains when her work is done. “The man is desperate and wants to avoid Ariel to get to Gorgio. And that makes him blind.” And then she warns.

“But remember, this cannot last longer than six months. Fix it within that time, Alpha”. But the big surprise comes right after that. “I’m coming along as your maid. I want to see how this turns out, and maybe I can help if the plan doesn’t work out as you thought”.

And so begins Alexis’ journey to Midnight Moon in Ariel’s guise. Risky, but she insists on doing this for me and her sister. She knows how much I love Ariel. And if it were up to Ariel, she would never choose a second mate, especially one with the reputation of Alpha Zane. Though there is no proof, it is rumored that he deals in illegal drugs, earning millions to keep his pack going.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

To make the plan more likely to succeed, I suggest my father-in-law inform Alpha Zane of Ariel’s arrival and transport her on his Jet. Pleased that I am now clear-headed about the matter, he does exactly as I recommend. In doing so, he believes he can avoid a potential debacle.

Alexis leaves for Midnight Moon and it is my turn to put my affairs in order. After saying goodbye to my in-laws, I returned to my pack with Jace and Alvin.

“Jace, what is the latest update on Ariel’s whereabouts that you have from the trackers?” I asked my Beta back in my office. My body is screaming for rest, but I cannot grant it at the moment. I need additional information before I can settle down.

“After the failed abduction of Alpha Zane at the club, she disappeared. We are still looking for clues. Our intelligence is still working out the possibilities,” he replies. “I suggest you get some sleep. I’ll wake you as soon as I have any news. You will need your strength when we find them, Gorgio. You can’t face her in this state.”

I nod, he is right. I want to be at my best when I meet Ariel again. We have so much to discuss. Goddess, how I long to have her here with me. Never before have we been apart for so long, and with the threat of Alpha Zane, finding her is becoming a huge challenge.

I climb the stairs to get some exercise. After a hot bath, I lie naked between the sheets. My hand slides over the empty spot beside me where the love of my life lay for a year.

“We’ll be together soon, baby. I promise you I will do everything in my power to find you. And we will be better, stronger together,” I whisper. And then I reach for the bond, I need to know that she is safe. She responds immediately, her warmth washing over me. I close my eyes and take it all in. I feel that Xander also drawing some strength from it.

Goddess, if only she were here with me in real life. I would cherish her, do the things she loves me to do for her. My mate! If only she trusted me enough to open the mind link. I would assure her of my love. She’s frightened by the turn of events, I do understand that. And I’m sure she doesn’t want to be shared either. I am enough for her.

I think back to our passionate lovemaking. She is always ready to have sex with me. Her response to me is overwhelming, she loses herself in our game as soon as we start. Her wild cries of pleasure, all those expressions of love when I’m deep inside her, hitting her G-spot, making her climax, are incomparable. My wolf always has to heal the bites on my shoulder after she has climbed the highest mountain with me. I also have deep scratches on my back from her sharp claws.

My wolf and I do not care, we belong to her to do as she pleases.

“I will find you and all will be well. I promise, my love”…
