Beta Danford’s POV
‘So we have a situation on our hands and that is about Rhea, Jason, and beta Danford,’ Juan says.
‘Rhea is yet to accept his rejection making her his,’
I almost laughed at this bullshit. Why would the moon goddess give her another mate if she belonged to him?
‘He rejected her and the moon mother gave her another her,’ says Leondre. He is glaring at Jason, making the Alpha’s son cower in his seat.
‘Well she didn’t accept and my son, for whatever reason, my son wants her back and now is willing to take back he’s rejection,’ the Alpha says.
‘No, that’s not happening and I won’t let her go,’ I beg to differ, glaring at Jason now.
‘I’m taking back my rejection and I’m making her Luna of my pack,’ I stand up and rush to his side, holding him by the neck, he lands a blow on my cheek but I don’t let go. His strength is failing him and it was at a disadvantage that he was shorter than me by a few itches.
‘Let him go, you’ll kill him,’ King Leondre sighs lazily but he didn’t make a move to pacify my anger.
The door opens just as I let Jason down and my mate walks in, she was looking fierce and so damn hot.
‘Rhea,’ I breathe. She doesn’t acknowledge my presence and it made me shrink, I notice part of her lip was cut, was she in a fight?
‘What are you doing here?’ Spat Potter and I growl at the tone he used on her. He visibly flinches back.
Rhea’s eyes wander to Anaiah and they seem to have a silent conversation.
She places her hand on her chest and raises one,
‘I, Rheana Alvarez, accept your rejection, Jason Potter,’
‘No, please, please, NO!’ Jason clutched his chest in pain and Alpha Juan stands from his seat, along with his beta.
‘What do you mean Rheana Alveraz,’ Potter’s beta growls, at this point, no one cared about Jason who was grunting in pain on the floor.
‘Yes, my name is Rheana Alveraz, first daughter of Kennedy and Rochelle Alveraz, and the only surviving heir to the Silver moon pack,’ my mate exuded confidence when she spoke and I swelled with love and pridefulness, the pride I didn’t think I’d feel for a woman, ever!
‘Impossible, the Alveraz family is dead and their heir was … ‘ Realization dawns on their faces, ‘ I asked the Gamma to execute the heir,’
The Alpha charges on Rhea and if I would have been a second too late, he would have killed her. I kick him in the stomach and he goes flying to the tall window, making it crack. The beta lunges at me this time but with a flicker of her hand, Anaiah uses her abilities to push him against the wall by an invisible force.
‘Don’t dare,’ growls Leon, getting out of his seat.
I wrap my arms around her petite body and kiss her hair. She lets me and I breathe a sigh of relief.
Rhea’s POV
I was at the riverbank, watching the sunset to welcome the new moon. It’s my favorite pastime. I feel a presence behind me but I don’t turn to look knowing exactly who it is, by the way, my heart flutters in my chest
Beta Danford has been relentless in pursuing me and showing me that he is the right man for me but I don’t give him the time and day as I have to prepare for the fight coming in the next month with the Alpha. At least he has agreed to back off me for now as we both prepare and get ready for the fight. The people of the pack have shown me their support and it’s overwhelming. I didn’t know just how many people hated Juan Potter.
‘Hey,’ he sits next to me, I bow in response to acknowledge him. Even though I’m Alpha by blood, he is still of a higher ranking because of his title of the king’s hand. He is quietly watching the horizon and I take this time to look at him, I’ve seen good-looking guys before but never like him, Beta Danford is tall with an athletic body and a face perfectly with high cheeks bones, and full sexy lips and his eyes, gosh, I can get lost in his eyes.
‘Done gawking?’ His husky voice speaks, and I turn my face away in shame. He chuckles
‘You can stare, sweetheart, all this is yours!’ He motions to his perfect hair down to his muscular legs. I only roll my eyes.
Dan gets up and gives me his hand. I stare at it blankly
‘The cold breeze is getting unpleasant out here, let’s go before you catch a cold,’ I nod after contemplating. I take his hand for support but I gasp at the tingles that jut through my body.
‘Goddess, I didn’t know I’d ever feel this way. Ever!’ He beams,
‘Really why not?’
‘Because at the age of twenty-five I haven’t found my mate yet, I thought I wasn’t blessed with one or that she died,’ he tells me, I watch him dazed as he talks about mates and my eyes dart to his delicious lips, all I want to do is kiss him so badly and before I can stop myself and reason, I grab his shirt and stand on my tiptoes, kissing him intensely. fuck, he doesn’t move but I continue to do so and enjoy it until he follows my lead. He immediately dominates the kiss and I moan in his mouth causing me to blush. Our bodies are so close and he lifts my leg, his erection is poking my thigh and I throw my head back, as he ravishes my neck with wet kisses. My mind fogged with lust and my skin burned for him. I wanted his hands to venture down my unclaimed territory but I had to wait
‘Oh god,’ he murmurs. I was embarrassed when we pulled away, he was looking at me with pitch-black eyes that were full of desire for me, he wanted me and I did as well, but I had to think straight. I have to get to know him first and don’t rush into a relationship with him.
I place my palms on his chest.
‘That was intense… Beta Dan, I’ve been through hell the last few years and I’m not mentally or physically ready so, please let’s take it slow,’ I manage to say, he nods his head vigorously.
‘I get it and I’ll wait as long as possible,’
Reaching the pack house, we go straight to the dining area, everyone is looking at me, and like a few days before, I sit and the king and Queen’s table with Dan. I can feel glares from Bailey and Jason directed my way and since I’m petty sometimes, I hold Danford’s hand.
My eyes meet with Makai, and he nods to me with a tiny smile before he continues to eat. He is one of the people heading the removal of Juan Potter as Alpha.
Getting in my sit at the table, I greet the Queen and as usual, is pleasant to me and asks how my day was or If anyone is causing me trouble.
I turn to the king, bowing and he nods.
After dinner, I go to the bedroom, and lie on my bed, my thoughts drifting to Dan before I close my eyes, soon, I feel his scent over my room and I smile.
