Nick smiled inwardly. I felt his pride as I spoke and it boosted my confidence. I could feel
Elise’s eyes on me too.
The older Alpha’s eyes grew hard from annoyance. He did expected me to lower my head like an omega. Fixing his face quickly, he smiled as his eyes held mine.
“Tell me what you heard about me, young she–wolf. Did you hear that I was going to be Forest
Moon’s first father in–law?”
I felt Nick stiffen. My composure started to slip when he ran a gentle hand on my back.
“The Night Storm is friends with the Forest Moon, Alpha Lazarus,” I replied.
“Everyone knows the beautiful Celia, your only daughter. Though I’m not privy to it, I expect
there would rumors of a mating alliance between both packs.”
“Rumors? I see your Alpha didn’t tell you. He’s engaged to my Celia,” he sneered.
“Was engaged.” Nick’s voice was low and hard.
The male pursed his lips as his eyes moved between all four of us.
I was confused. This male was not the father of the girl on the photo. That blonde was a pack
member. So Nick was engaged to his daughter too or what?
There would be time to ask all those questions. Right now, I had to focus on maintaining composure in front of the intimidating older male.
“I hate to leave you, Lazarus. But did you say you’re here to rest? I’m sure we’ll run into each other before you leave. If you’ll excuse me, I’m on my way out with my mate.”
As he said this, his hand returned to mine and he began to lead me out.
“See you in a bit, mother,” he added.
I could feel the fumes of the other alpha’s anger as we walked past.
‘You did great,‘ his voice floated into my mind.
‘I’m so proud, Sara. Now that’s how you act in front of every and any wolf. Especially when I’m
not there.‘
I felt proud of myself too. The brief encounter was starting to make me feel that being Luna wouldn’t be so hard. But I had questions.

We stopped at the porte cochere to wait for the car.
“That’s not the blonde’s father,” I stated the obvious.
“No, he’s not.”
“How many females were betrothed to you?”
“Three.”
I held his eyes, waiting. But it didn’t look like he would offer further details.
“When you speak to anyone, wolf, human, any supernatural creature, hold your head high. Never submit. No one is better than you, remember that. In fact, you’re better than all of them and they’re probably more nervous than you are because they know it.”
“Thanks, but you’re partial. Am I one of the three?”
“No,” he replied, shaking his head.
“So I’m the fourth.”
“You’re my only one. Now partial or not, I need you to feel very important when you’re dealing with a noble. Whether members of our pack or outsiders. You must remember that I, Alpha Nickolas of the Great Forest Moon, think you better than everybody. You hear me, Sara. You
must believe it too.”
He truly wasn’t going to elaborate, was he? Not unless I asked. I was still slightly nervous from the encounter. It was hard to think up questions that would get him to tell me the whole
story.
I nodded. I couldn’t even hold anything against him at that moment.
His perp talk was working wonders. Knowing that he loved me gave me wings. I was beginning to understand what it felt like to be important. 1
“His daughter, Celia, was arranged to me years ago. It didn’t work out,” he explained at last.
“Years ago? Long before you were engaged to the blonde?” I asked.
“Yeah. Alpha Lazarus and my dad were good friends as you already know. Everyone thought their children would be mated. I guess the two alphas did try to make it so.
But it didn’t work out. She grew tired of me and walked away. Said I was too cold and clueless. Hell, she thought I was “an ill male.”
We ended things amicably after the third date. I don’t understand why her father is acting

bitter all of a sudden.”
His brow furrowed like he truly was confused. “It’s been ages.”
“How long ago?” I asked, holding his gaze.
The question made him nervous. Which was all the answer I needed.
I tried to free my hand from his, but he tightened his grip.
Four years ago, Megan had mocked that the Alpha heir was already engaged. That hadn’t been a taunt, huh. I guessed the Night Storm’s princess was his betrothed then.
“Your rules clearly said we were exclusive, Nick.”
“I was exclusively yours, Sara. Celia and I were introduced AFTER you left. Some two months after, I swear. I never cheated.”
As he spoke, his sports car pulled up in front of us. The driver got out hastily.
“C’mon, let me take you home.”
He held the door open. Something caught my eye as we started to ride out seconds later.
A tall, familiar figure dressed in nothing but a loose tank top and shorts, stood in the midst of cars. His eyes were on Nick and I as our car approached the gate.
What was Avery doing at Rain resort this time of the night?
Nick began to slow down as he mumbled,
. “Is he following us?”
