“We meet again,” | said as | walked on, but she followed, keeping pace with me. Could she have been waiting
here for me?
“Yes, Luna, and it is of course a pleasure to meet you again,” she says, and | could see the glint in her eyes. She
suspected, or rather, she knew, that | was not the Luna. | had just wanted sspace away from everything, but
| couldn’t even get that one thing.
“I hadn't realized you left the feast.” | said to her, not that | really cared if she left or remained there.

“Beatrix, | hadn't gotten the chance to thank you; | heard about everything you did; Thane and Axel wouldn't

chance to thank her, and maybe that madea bad person, but I just couldn’t bring myself to care, so for
courtesy sake, | had to pretend.
“That's alright; | would protect the Alpha’s property at all costs.”
“Excuse me?” Did she just call‘The Alpha’s Property‘?
“That's what you are to him; no offense, but you aren't his true mate,” she says, and my eyes travel around to

way; otherwise...” | left the silent threat hanging, a smile curving on my lips. | wasn’t as bold inside, though.

“Okay then. | don’t mean to threaten you; | know what Thane can do. But | want to know, what exactly do you

called the mate bond.”
She pulled away a snarl on her lips.
“I'll leave now. But know one thing: | will find out what this thing is, and when | do...” she paused before walking
away, never completing her sentence.
| gave myself an invisible pat on the back, heading on my way.
