The Alpha’s Little Luna

Still Mercedes’ POV

Most certainly, the Alpha’s words did surprise me.

I was not prepared for this statement. I stare at him dumbfounded.

“Alpha, your Luna?” I asked to make sure I heard the exact same words from his mouth. “But wouldn’t you wait until next year to find her?” I remind him.

He tries to take my hand, but I pull back.

“I meant that I would wait for you,” he explained. “It’s not sure if Midnight Moon’s Alpha is your destined mate. It may be me. The way my wolf is pleased with you, I believe you are my mate”, he states confidently.

Only now do I panic.

Having Alpha Glary as a mate is the worst thing that could happen to me. I shake my head in shock.

“No! That’s not possible,” I stammered. “Zane is my mate, I’m very sure of that. We belong to each other, I’m his”. I jump up now and take a few steps back.

“Whatever happens, I’ll stay with Zane. If you turn out to be my mate, prepare for my rejection. No way!” I turned and started to walk away. It’s a long way home but I didn’t care. Behind me, I heard the Alpha calling. Within seconds, he was in front of me.

“Listen Mercedes, don’t make hasty decisions. We can wait until next year, while getting used to each other,” he argued. “Again, I’m not a bad person. And you can learn to love me because the mate bond will only reinforce our feelings.” Tears started to roll down my cheeks. The mere thought of losing Zane was devastated, broke my heart in a million pieces.

“Get away from me, Alpha. I don’t want anything to do with you. Zane is my mate and no one else. I cannot love anyone but him. Get out of the way and only speak to me when it’s absolutely necessary,” I bit to him angrily. I started to walk faster.

Fortunately, I was in top condition and covered the distance home half running. I vaguely heard a car behind me, the Alpha probably making sure I got home safely.

When I entered, the house was dark. That means that my parents went to bed early. I didn’t tell them I was out with the Alpha’s son, so they probably assumed Zane was back with me. When I storm into my room, I rip off my clothes and step into the bathtub. With the hand shower, I let some lukewarm water run over my face. Just the thought of Glary being my mate makes me sick to the bone.

While I’m lying here, I hear a helicopter flying over. I freeze, a Heli rarely hits our pack. The last time was when I turned thirteen and Zane surprised me with a test flight. But that was four years ago. I get out of the bath, dry my body and put on a bathrobe. When I step into the bedroom, the door bolts open.

“Mercedes!”

Zane is standing in front of me. His face is rigid as he stares at me.

“Where were you, Mercedes?” he demanded to know, standing there watching me sternly. I stared at the strong lines on his masculine face I adored for so long. A sense of sadness overwhelmed me, the thought of having to let him go next year crushed me.

“I was at a picnic with Alpha Glary,” I replied him honestly. I saw something flashed in his eyes. He continued to gaze at me in silence. And then I lose myself, the fear and pain in my heart were too heavy to bear. I throw myself into the arms of the man I’ve been in love with almost all my life. A life without him is unthinkable. I cling to him and cry my heart out.

“Hey, my heart. Now tell me what’s going on. You know you can tell me anything”, Zane soothed me. Glued to him, I told him all Alpha Glary said to me about our potential mating next year. Mentally broken, I hold on tightly to Zane’s chest.

“Please Zane, don’t let me go. I love you so much. What should I do if another female claimed you? I cannot live without you!” I sobbed heartbreaking.

Zane held me close and lead me to the bed. As we sat, he lifted my face to his.

“There is no reason to doubt our bond, Mercedes. Jax is sure you are our mate”, he declared hard. “Glary just pisses you off. Be confident, my love. I am all yours”. I looked at him through my tears.

“Promise me you’ll reject any other she-wolf who claims to be your mate, Zane,” I begged him. “I will also do the same if next year turns out different than we thought.”

“Hey, nothing will happen. We are fated. And you know that too, Mercedes.” Zane looked me in the eye with his stunning blue rounds and I immediately felt my body relax. His soul takes over mine, we embrace each other in another dimension. Zane and I are connected not only physically but also spiritually. A watery smile comes over my lips.

“Yes, you are mine and I am yours. I am your fated mate, Zane”, I solemnly declared what my heart, soul and mind dictated. My hands went into his long blonde hair and I pulled him towards me. Our lips meet like two charged atoms, we drank each other out in a heartwarming kiss. Slowly I pulled him over me as I lie down on the bed.

“Take me, Zane. Make me your woman”, I urged him. “I want to feel that I belong to you.” Zane smiled softly into my hair.

“Are you trying to seduce me again, Princess? Nothing in the world is more certain than that you are mine. I’ll kill anyone who sets their paws on you.”

I nodded and wrapped my arms around his neck.

“I have something to show you, my love.” He broke free from my arms to took his phone from his back pocket. When he had it in his hand, he stared at me thoughtfully.

“Now you must promise to always trust me. Whatever it is, never lose faith in us,” he stated. “They also tried to deceive me, to break our love. But I am confident of your love for me.”

I nodded guiltily.

“Yes Zane. I didn’t mean to hurt you when I knew I’d gotten myself into trouble.”

He kissed me quickly and opened his phone.

And what I saw there surpassed all my nightmares ….
