Lindsy POV:
I was on my own and suddenly I smelled some manly fragrance, it was nice and I felt draw into it.
Suddenly, my mom approached me.
“You look beautiful, Lindsy” she said smiling and I thanked her.
Beta Hans asked me to dance but hell no, I wouldn’t dance tonight, especially with him, I’m a mess at dancing.
But then, my gaze locked with a beautiful blue one, he was so handsome that I felt my whole being shivering, who was he?
He’s like a Greek God, he had a dark blonde hair, his hairstyle was in a blow-dry back, but still had a charm into it like a messy pompadour, natural tan skin and he was tall, about 6’6, everything about him was so manly and seductive.
He smiled at me and I melted, where did this man come from?
I smiled at him back as its own accord.
I might be looking so stupid right now and then, he was approaching me. Oh no.
My heart wanted to race and come out from my mouth, I’ve never been so draw to someone as I am now with him.
“Hi, may I?” he offered his hand to me.
“Sure” I said and I regretted it at the same time, I’m a mess at dancing but when he took my hands, I felt goosebumps all over my body, I frowned for a second.
He placed me close to him and I was so draw into him that I almost laid on his hard chest, what’s gotten into me? Goddess, this man…
I looked up at his face and he was even more gorgeous than I thought, bad move, Lindsy.
“Sorry, I’m not used to dance so I’m a mess” I told him blushing vigorously and he chuckled.
“Don’t worry” he lifted me like I weight nothing and placed me on his tip toes and we started to dance.
Suddenly, we’ve got abruptly interrupted by my father.
Oh Goddess, he’s going to kill me.
He made up all this ball to offer me to an Alpha and I was here dancing with some stranger.
I kept looking down.
“Oh, I see you two got along well” he said and I gulped hard “Please, follow me” he said and we did.
Just then I noticed that some other man was also following us, so as my mother.
Am I in trouble?
I was scared, my heart was racing.
We made our way into the Alpha’s office.
“I’m sorry, Alpha” I told him hoping I wouldn’t get into too much trouble and he smiled.
“Oh, stop it Lindsy, why are you calling me Alpha? This girl is so funny” he said smiling and I frowned and I couldn’t help but stole a peek at him, what’s going on?
Then I heard my dad saying.
“Henry, that’s my daughter Lindsy” and I startled when I realized who was the handsome man.

Henry POV:
“Henry, that’s my daughter Lindsy” Mueller said, and I glanced at Randall.
“I knew it, too good to be true” I mind-linked Randall. “We better go”
“No, we don’t. She’s your mate, Henry. For Goddess’ sake” Randall replied to me and I took a deep breath. I looked at her and she seemed very uneased indeed at her father's presence. Maybe I should just listen to what he has to say, something was definitely off here.
“It’s nice to meet you, Lindsy” I told her but she just nodded at me, looking down, sitting with her hands on top of another on her lap.
“It’s nice to meet you too, Alpha” she stiffed, and she wasn’t relaxed just like she was a few moments ago when we were dancing. She kept looking down and why is she calling me like that? Not even the Omegas back at the Pack House get so tense as she was.
“So, Henry, we've got some business to take care of. As you may know, I’m trying to expand the Silver Moon Pack and I need to invest a lot of money in it, I believe we could make a deal. The Black Moon Pack is supplying many things such as food and technology for the Werewolves Realm” he said and I can see where this is going.
“Let me guess, you want me to cut your taxes?” I asked him and he smiled in approval.
“Yes and I have something you will like in return” he said and I don’t know what he could possibly have that we didn’t have back in the Black Moon Pack.
I placed my fingers on my temples in a boring way waiting for him to finish.
He stood up, grabbed his daughter by her arms firmly startling her but not in a rude way and placed her next to me.
“Her, she can be a great Luna for you, she’s my daughter, she carries the bloodline” he said and my breath hitched for a second, I straightened up and stared at her, she was looking down and I could see her lip was quivering like she was holding back a sob.
I let out a loud growl, not only because of his unbelievable proposal but the way he treated her, I felt protective towards her already.
“Mueller, you…” I said through gritted teeth “You should be ashamed of yourself” I said and just then I saw her and she was trembling. I might have scared her but Mueller’s proposal was unbelievable.
“Calm down, Henry, I’ll leave both of you alone to talk about it” he said and he left.
“I’ll leave too, I’m sorry to say this, but think about it, maybe she’s better off away from this Pack indeed” Randall said and yes, Goddess knew how I wished to take her with me, but not in this way, not like that.
Her father treated her like she was an worthless object.
So that’s why she couldn’t feel the bond. She wasn’t even 18 yet.
“I’m sorry you had to go through that” I told her and she just shook her head.
“It’s fine, Alpha”
“You can call me Henry” I told her and she frowned.
“Do you want to go outside to chill a bit?” I asked her and she nodded.
We left the Pack House.
“Lindsy, I’m sorry, I couldn’t help but noticing that something was off about you and your father relationship, am I right?”
“Yes, you’re right” she said looking down.
“Then, I would never do anything that you don’t want to, I could never force you into something like your father did, I need you to answer me something, I need you to be honest, ok?” I asked her and she nodded.

Lindsy POV:
I’m feeling so small and powerless, I’m sure Henry is thinking that I’m nothing but a useless girl.
I wanted to be more, I wanted to be special in life and to be special for someone.
But I guess my father just took this chance away from me today.
I was feeling so ashamed by the episode inside the office, what Henry was thinking about me now?
Then he startled me by his last question.
“Then, I would never do anything that you don’t want to, I could never force you into something like your father did, I need you to answer me something, I need you to be honest, ok?” he asked me and I nodded.
That meant that he cared for me or something like that?
“Do you want to leave? Because if you really wish so, I will accept it, we will leave to the Black Moon Pack and you’ll be free there to do whatever you wish for and you’ll never have to deal with your father again, I can assure you that” he said and my heart just melted all over him again, did he really could do that?
But still, I would be without him and this thought just clenched my heart painfully.
Goddess, what’s got into me? I just met him.
Could it possibly be that he was my mate?
But I’m sure that if we were mates, he would have said it already.
Was it possibly that he was my mate and he didn’t recognize me?
Because I’m sure that this draw wasn’t normal at all to me, I shook off this thought and tried to think about a way to answer him, like; I’d like to leave, Henry, under my dad’s condition and be your Luna.
Goddess, it would sound so stupid and I could never have the guts to say it.
“My father would never let me go under this condition” I told him.
“I will make you the Luna of the Black Moon Pack, I just need to know; do you want to leave?” he asked me again and I looked intently into his eyes.
“Yes” I simply said.
“Then, just pretend it, all right?” he asked me and I frowned, looking down but nodded.
He noticed that I didn’t get it.
“Just pretend that we talked and got along just fine and I’ll accept his conditions, you’ll be staying on the Pack House with me so no one would ever mistrust or question anything, I know how your father is, he might as well try to send someone to stalk you” he said and I startled, he really knew my father too well.
He lifted my chin with his finger making me look at him.
“Are you sure about it?”
“Yes” I said without hesitation and I’ve never been so sure about anything else as right at this moment we were staring at each other, I just hope I know what I’m doing. It’s not like I had any other choices, if I had to end up being with someone, I was glad it was Henry even though he clearly is doing this just to protect me from my father somehow, it wasn't like we'd have a relationship, my heart stung by this thought.
“If by any moment you wish to come back to the Silver Moon Pack, I’ll take you back at the same time, all right? You’re not a prisoner and I’m just doing this for you and not for anyone else, especially not for your father” he said and I slightly smiled at him.
Was it really possible that he was so caring?
I always thought that all the Alphas were just like my father was.
We’ll see about that.
“All right, let’s go back. I’ve already mind-linked Randall” he said and I nodded.
“Just smile” he said and he opened the door and took my hand on his and intertwined his finger on mines.
I smiled, I genuinely smiled, I felt it, I felt the slightly tingles on my hand.
I just needed to turn 18 to make sure of it.
I glanced at my father and he smiled at us in approval.
Henry sat on a couch in the living room and he placed me on his lap, I blushed a lot and he chuckled.
Then he came closer to my ear.
“Just pretend it, I’m sure your father will soon come to us” he whispered in my ear giving me goosebumps all over my body and he was right.
After a while, my father approached us again.
“I can see you two are getting along just fine” he said winking at me in approval.
“So, do we have a deal?” he asked Henry.
“All right but just to be clear I’m doing this for her and not for you” Henry replied him.
“Good job, Lindsy. I’m proud of you” he said and I felt like a w***e, but I shook this thought off quickly.
“Wonderful, Henry. You can stay at Lindsy’s room today and tomorrow; we’ll pack her stuff” he said and I almost threw my heart up.
“I don’t think that’s appropriate” Henry said.
“Please, I insist” my father said, Goddess, that was so awkward.
“Do something, Lindsy. You have to sleep with him” my father said and I gulped hard.
What is he thinking I am?
Did he even know I’m not even kissed anyone yet?
I was lost, I didn’t want to ask Henry to sleep with me, Goddess, we just met.
My heart was racing and I looked at my father and he was enraged already.
“Please, Henry” I told him with pleading eyes.
I felt bad but I knew better than to stand against my father.
