Luna On The Run!

Alpha Gorgio’s POV

I couldn’t refuse when Ariel’s father, Alpha King Petric, called and invited me to a meeting at his pack. Alpha Zane had asked him to mediate, the man wanted to work out arrangements with me in this triangular mating. Like my father-in-law, he believes Ariel will come back when she knows we have reached an agreement and we all accept that we are now both mated to her.

Alpha Zane is obviously disillusioned.

I have no intention of sharing Ariel with anyone. She is mine, the Moon Goddess blessed and ratified our mating at the Joining Ceremony. Selene created me as I am now, with all my character and habits. And she knew I would never agree to share my mate, now or ever.

I am capable of waging war if necessary, even challenging that wretched Alpha to keep my mate. He’ll keep his claws off her if he knows what’s good for him. Either way, Alpha Zane won’t live. I am damn sure Ariel will stay with me and reject this mating as well. And to put an end to his claim, I will have to kill him so that he does not remain a thorn in my side.

I am now in my private Jet on my way to Blue Blood.

Nothing will change my position. My arrival is a formality, out of respect for my mate’s father and the office of Alpha King. He, too, is well aware that he cannot force me to consent to anything. The Were-Laws are clear when it comes to mates. Acceptance is voluntary for all parties involved and there should be absolutely no coercion.

And as soon as I have managed to persuade Ariel to come back into my arms, I will ask her to reject Alpha Zane without delay so that I can challenge and kill him. His stubbornness will be his doom, he should have known that I am not to be trifled with. Not business-wise, and even more so concerning my mate. Everyone in the werewolf community knows how much I treasure this black-haired angel, and I will never give her up.

She has been away from me for four days now. Four hard days and exhausting nights. I’ve hardly slept a wink, I just can’t manage without her warmth against me. I need her scent, her small hands on me, caressing my body.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

So sure she misses me too. I give her all the time she needs to get over the trauma, I know she was shocked when she realized Alpha Zane had a claim on her. I just need to protect her wherever she is, to stop the Alpha from taking her to his pack.

“Alpha, how do we deal with Zane insisting on taking Luna Ariel? We need a plan.” Alvin looks at me expectantly, still struggling with the guilt of losing sight of Ariel.

“Let’s wait and see what the plan is first,” my Beta Jace chimes in. “Alpha Zane has the upper hand now that Gorgio accused him of kidnapping and he was able to prove his innocence. I am sure he is full of himself now and overestimates his abilities. My wolf tells me he is in for a big surprise.”

Yeah, trust Dexter on this, that wolf has never been on the wrong side. And if he says so, then we can only expect a good result.

The Jet landed and I got out confidently, my sunglasses perched on my nose.

In the distance, my father-in-law is waiting for me with a broad smile. I bridged the gap between us with big steps and embraced him.

“Father, I wish I had arrived back here under better circumstances,” I tell him wearily. “I am so in need of Ariel. I hope she comes back soon, her absence is draining my energy”.

He nods understandingly. “I can well imagine it is. That is why it is so important that you collaborate with Alpha Zane’s plan. Once my daughter knows there is no enmity between you, she will have no reason to stay away,” he pleads. “You have very little choice at this point, Gorgio. The longer she stays away, the weaker you and your pack will become. You need your Luna. But so does Midnight Moon. Alpha Zane struggles with the same problem”.

I stifle my resentment at hearing that name. Shouldn’t my father-in-law be loyal to me instead of the Alpha? After all, I’m the one to whom he entrusted his daughter.

Silently, I walked with him to the waiting car.

“Alpha Zane is already here. We can go straight to the meeting room,” he tells me. I nod to my Beta. Although I would have liked to deliver the gifts I’ve brought for my mother-in-law myself, I don’t think I’ll get the chance. So Jace will have to do the honors and hand them over quickly before rejoining me.

A few minutes later, I stepped through the doors of the room with my Head Warrior. Alpha King Petric takes a seat at the head of the table and I sit down opposite him. Alpha Zane and two of his men flank him, while Alvin sits to my right.

After a brief introduction as to why he has called us together, my father-in-law turns to Alpha Zane.

“Alpha, present us your proposal. I just hope it is realistic and does not cause more disorder,” he holds out to the man. Bored, I looked at the trio from Midnight Moon.

Then he dares to face me.

“Alpha Gorgio, I know it’s hard and it will take some time to get used to sharing your Luna with me. But the Moon Goddess has decided and we must bow to her,” he begins solemnly. When I remain silent, he continues.

“I have a proposal. And it’s all to give Ariel a sense of peace that her mates will get along and that our mating will not have the drastic consequences of a war”.

He clears his throat.

“I suggest we merge our packs and build one big pack house where the three of us will live. That way we both have our mate close by. Our territories border each other, so we can build it half on your and my land as soon as Ariel returns.” He looks at me expectantly, but I remain silent.

“You’ve had Ariel with you for a whole year. To get her used to me, I suggest she stay at Midnight Moon while we build our new house. Of course, you are always welcome there.”

Does this Alpha really think he is smarter than me? Does he really expect me to allow another wolf to touch my mate?

“My foot!” I roar thunderously and confidently!

Everyone jumps up in terror, even the furniture in the room bounces…
