Luna’s Fangs Of Rebirth

Chapter 2

All of the Alphas were expected to respect the Blood Moon on a number of occasions, according to Alpha Tom. Between those incidents, though, she had a suspicion that Alpha Marvin was not averse to stalking his victim.

How long could she ignore him?" she pondered.At each of the offerings, Cassie’spresence—or lack thereof—would be noticed. Already, she was late for the opening ceremony.

Additionally, her father had stated that she was required to attend all events.If I told my father the truth, would he let me go? She questioned.

Until a nice smile and a pair of pale blue eyes popped into her mind, the plan sounded plausible. "If I tell dad, I'll have to tell Harry," said the child.

When she considered telling him, her heart wrenched. Would he blame her for the hurt he would feel?I'm unable to tell someone, "No, no. not until I comprehend what's happening.

Two friends are too many for me. That is not feasible!' she reasoned furiously."Right!? As she rose to her feet, Cassie yelled. She looked up at the sky, her heart filled with hate.

One buddy, one!"The goddess would still hear her even if the moon had disappeared."Isn't that the arrangement, the promise?

The favor you showered upon us all? One ideal partner created a lifelong bond.She thought her tears had dried up, but they returned."I cherish Harry!" she screamed. "He's my partner. Just him.

Her body began to feel warm, as if the goddess were responding to her unappreciative tone.When it first started, she gasped and took a deep breath to calm herself and try to control the primitive aspects of her mind that were threatening to overtake her.

As her senses were once again aroused by that captivating aroma.God forbid!", she exclaimed angrily.He was approaching her.

She had a sense of it. In her wolf form, Cassie could move more quickly, but the decision lay in whether she would sprint away from or toward the threat.

To minimize the risk, it was preferable.It wouldn't be too long until another of the activities began, based on what she recalled about the schedule.

The Alphas had a meeting in the morning and various duties they had to do that evening.All I need to do is cancel all the events I promised my father I would go to. Then overcome an Alpha in a twelve-hour game of hide and seek," she chuckled defeatistically to herself. Oh, and he has an embedded homing mechanism for me. Great.""Cassie ?" A well-known voice shouted out to her.When Cassie turned around, she was met by a stunning Viking woman.

A towering crown made of folded braids and knots is bound with blonde hair. a brown corset-belted gown in purple a set of green eyes that shone brilliantly at all times of day and night.It was challenging to see past Luna Greg's beauty.

Cassie mumbled, "Mother," in response.What are you doing here, Cassie ? We've spent hours looking for you! Your father saw that you skipped the opening ceremony, I assure you.

Let's go."Her mother pulled her daughter ahead while linking their arms, denying her any opportunity to protest.

She reprimanded her for shirking the entire way back to the gathering. Cassie’sattention was focused on scanning every individual they passed for those icy eyes as they moved along.

She was so preoccupied with finding him that she failed to see that her symptoms had already diminished. not until something more identifiable interrupted her search.

When he looked at Cassie , she felt the usual tug of their relationship. She instinctively closed her eyes and let it wash over her ,the cozy warmth and compassion, as if he were standing behind her and giving her a soft embrace.

She gazed at him over the crowd after opening her eyes. She didn't know anyone in the sea of other pack members that surrounded them, but her gaze was always drawn to him.

The white snow that coated their home country's regions had always contrasted sharply with his black hair. Just past his chin, it was lengthy on him.

He didn't maintain his hair styled in braids or knots like the Vikings, whose territories these were once, unlike the majority of the men in the Winter Pack who wore their hair long.

Instead, he let it hang loosely and hospitably in the chilly wind. She yearned to stroke his silky hair with her fingertips.Her stomach fluttered and her heart thundered when their eyes locked.

She was able to tell that those pale blue eyes were a swirling mixture of admiration and yearning, even from this distance.

Considering that her own eyes could only display the same emotions,Harry made a half-smile gesture with his mouth.

The words she overheard were created by his lips and whispered by the wind."I adore you."Her chest hurt.

She would have experienced the ecstasy in her soul that only he could offer her on any other day or at any other time. Without giving it a second thought, she would have responded to his words of affection. She thought she had betrayed him now, though.

The fact that she loved him was irrelevant. It made no difference that she had no desire to know Alpha Marvin or even be his mate.

Its truth remained unaffected by it.The man standing next to him diverted his attention, saving her at this precise moment.

Cassie used the chance to turn her gaze away from him because she didn't want to take a chance on seeing those kind and trusting eyes once more."My darling, it won't be long now.""What?

Cassie turned to look at her mom.Your wedding, my love. Greg grinned warmly. "I know how hard it is to stay patient after you have found your partner, but it won't be long now. merely a few weeks.

Cassie felt a weight fall into her tummy and into her chest. She began to feel guilty and afraid.Actually," she said nervously, "I was actually considering moving the wedding to the next moon.Greg was caught off guard and unable to conceal her horror.

Has something changed between you and Harry, Cassie ? Did he take any action? Did the boy try to force himself on Cassie ?"Mom, no!" Cassie exclaimed, "No! Never. Harry is incredible.

He is more than I deserve, and he is great and caring."Well, I guess I don't get it. What changed from a few days ago, when you were so excited? Greg groaned.

Nothing has changed, she retorted. "I'm not saying I don't want to marry him; I'm just saying we should wait a little bit longer," she said.

Why, though, Cassie ? You can't just announce that you wish to postpone the wedding without giving any justification.Her mother was unyielding and sarcastic. She would never let the topic go if she didn't get a satisfactory response.

Father advised me not to rush myself when I spoke with him earlier, and I wonder if he might have a point.

Greg didn't think she was real. Harry and Cassie had known each other for two years. They had excitedly anticipated this day's arrival.

Based only on one talk with her father, she would not have changed her mind."Cassie , tell me the truth," Greg commanded."I am! Cassie quickly answered, "Mom, I'm simply talking about the wedding.

The full moon is only one week after my birthday, which is in two weeks, so we are already planning a huge party.

Sincerely, I haven't put much work into organizing the wedding because I have been so occupied with the birthday party.

That was untrue. For two years, Cassie had imagined the day she and Harry would be mated. She was well aware of the day's events.

Fortunately, she hadn't had a chance to tell her mother about those things because she had been so preoccupied with planning her celebration."I just think that scheduling our wedding so close to my birthday party would make everything hasty.

Therefore, if we delay it by just one more month, it will give us enough time to plan our wedding without rushing.

That's it.Greg gave her daughter a close examination.

After a while, she grinned and touched Cassie’scheek with her hand.

"My darling, as long as you're content, But keep in mind that until then, you and Harry will need to practice patience."Mom!" Cassie exclaimed inconsolably, "Cassie was temporarily distracted from the dreadful circumstances she was currently facing by the mother and daughter's amusing antics.And then that tranquility was destroyed.

First, she experienced a sensation similar to a hot breath across her throat on her skin. The captivating scent then filled her lungs, giving her the urge she had been working so hard to suppress.

Her ability to restrain her instinctive response to the unexpected stimulus required all of her willpower.She immediately excused herself and moved down one hallway before moving on to another. She was disinterested.

She was worried that her mother would see her reaction, and she also didn't want Harry to see it. But when she understood that instinct had misled her and failed her, it was sadly too late.I guess hide-and-seek isn't your finest game after all.
