SEQUEL to The Strength Of A Luna * “Arden…” Roman called out, his voice sounded strangled, but so smooth at the same time. I untangled myself from the other two, hoping to get a huge hug from my best friend, but the second they released me, I was overwhelmed with the strongest smell. I couldn’t even describe what the scent was, but it made me feel like I was sitting on a porch watching a summer sunset. I turned to face Roman, and saw him standing still as a statue right next to his car, his face a mixture of horror and fear. "MATE!!" Fae screamed in my head. "Jaxon and Roman are our second chance!" I could feel her excitement, but I couldn’t move. Roman and I stood there staring at each other for what felt like forever, both not sure how to proceed. I knew his emotions were from never thinking he would have another mate, and fear of losing another mate the way he lost Alice. There was nothing wrong with his hesitation, but I couldn’t figure out where mine was coming from. Roman was my best friend, and I had easily shared everything with him, but I was frozen. “W-we are Mates.” Roman nearly whispered. “Yes… we are.” * Arden wasn't expecting to ever find a second chance mate, especially in her best friend, Roman. But having just taken over as Alpha of her pack, what were their options? Roman ran Silver Creek Pack and Arden was in charge of Ash River Pack (formerly Dark Woods). What happens when two Alpha's are second-chance Mates? How do they decide what to put first; Their happiness, or Their Packs?

Most wolves are desperate to meet their mate when they turn 16. What sounds better than meeting someone who was literally made for you? For Arden Hauge, the desire to meet her mate was definitely there, but the desire to travel the world first was stronger, and even her wolf was happy to travel before settling down with their other half. So at 16, she made the decision to travel and experience the world. And maybe even meet her mate along the way. At 19, Arden has returned from her travels, still mate-less. Deciding to go to the Mating Party for West Coast wolves, she hopes that her true mate is there and happy to have her. Robbie Wells is the 22 year old Alpha of Dark Woods Pack. He has a reputation for being a strong but cruel Alpha that is against progressive views. He is also Arden’s mate. Robbie nearly lost all control when his eyes met hers. He quickly whisks her away to his pack and prepares to make her his Luna. Things at Dark Woods are far from what Arden is used to, and she doesn’t know how to handle all the changes. Robbie has barely talked to her since the first night, and to top it off, she hasn’t been able to talk with her wolf since she arrived. While Arden struggles to make sense of this pack and her mate, she will have to make some difficult choices. If only she had her wolf to help her.
