I thought for sure that Alpha Hunter was going to hurt Luna Sophie when he pinned her during their
training session. I nearly jumped on him to pull him off of her. It was my wolf, Mizette, who stopped
me, and I’m d she did.
I watched, as stunned as Letti, as Luna Sophie lifted her head up and ran her nose over the throat
of her mate. I’ve never, ever seen an Alpha allow that, not even from his mate. But these two seem
different.
“They’re the real deal, aren’t they?” Letti asks me quietly.
“It seems so,” I say as we watch Luna Sophie distract her mate until she can reverse their positions.
Once again, she doesn’t appear scared of him at all. Rather than avoiding his touch, she seems to
crave it. I have no idea what wager they’ve made, but Alpha Hunter willingly gives in to her im
that she defeated him an equal number of times that he defeated her. Again, something unheard of
in other packs. At least where Ie from, Alphas insist on proving that they are the strongest,
unyielding and unbending to anyone, even their mates.
As I look around, I see that their pack still isn’t ustomed to this level of intimacy among their
ranked members. Beta Kinsley seemed shy around her mate, not as open to this level of physical
contact, at least not in public, so perhaps, this is as new to these pack members as it is to us.

When training is done, Alpha Hunter and Luna Sophie invite us to join them for breakfast before we
go see Nikki. I’m anxious to see how she’s doing. Her injury was caused because she helped me
when Alpha Aiden nearly imed me. Letti and I had already joined forces, but it wasn’t until then
that we met Nikki. She’s a strong Alpha, tough as nails, and willing to put herself at risk in order to
protect others, namely me. She put herself at risk and she didn’t even know me.
We’ve stayed with her ever since. It wouldn’t have been fair to leave her on her own after she
injured herself protecting me. And I wouldn’t have left her anyway. Out in the wild, if you don’t help
each other, someone gets imed. But Nikki is an Alpha, and Letti and I deferred to her decision toContent is property of N?velDrama.Org.
are here. However, I think it would be good for them to hear from you why you’ve run, why you’ve
chosen a life alone in the wild rather than be publicly imed,” Hunter says.
“They must already know,” Letti says.
“They don’t. I’m sure of it. My Beta didn’t understand. Alpha

Dutton, another friend that I’ve already met with didn’t understand either. Our wolves don’t see the
problem with it, and as an Alpha, I can tell you that my wolf, Shaw, wants nothing more than for me
to im his mate for all the world do see so everyone knows that she’s ours. It is the human side of
us that disagrees with these practices, practices that do not impact us as males the same way that
they impact you as females.”

It’s absurd to me to think that they don’t understand don’t want to be imed publicly. It’s true,
Mizette wouldn’t care about being imed publicly, but she also cares about me and knows that I’d
be mortified if I were to be imed in such a way, so she refuses to allow it willingly, even by our
mate.
We walk into the hospital and follow Alpha Hunter to a door.
“This is Nikki’s room,” Alpha Hunter says, turning to us once again. “I give you my word as an Alpha
that I will keep you safe. But the choice about whether or not you will spend time with these Alphas
is up to you.”
“If you promise to keep me safe, I’ll do it. If these Alphas and other ranked pack members really
don’t understand how it affects us, they need to know.”
I look at Letti. “You’ll have to decide for yourself, but the more of us who confirm the way we feel,
the harder it will be for them to deny it. These ranked members need to realize that we aren’t being
irrational or acting foolishly There is a reason why we feel this way and it’s a valid reason, one they
need to think about. and consider if they were to find their mate, especially if they want to have the
kind of rtionship that Alpha Hunter and Luna Sophie have.”
“You swear to keep us safe?” Letti asks Alpha Hunter.

“My word as an Alpha,” he says. When we nod, he opens the door and I see Nikki sitting up. Her
eyes are intent on mine and as I begin to smile, she speaks.
“Why is Alpha Hunter giving his word as an Alpha again?”
“I’ll leave you three to talk. Nikki, do you need anything?”
“No, thank you, Alpha.”
After Hunter leaves, we rush to the bed, hugging Nikki tightly.
“What’s going on?” she asks.
Letti and I proceed to tell her everything, the differences that we’ve seen between Luna Sophie and
every other ranked, imed female we’ve ever met. Then we let her know about the visiting Alphas.
She looks down at her leg. “I don’t know that I’ll be healed in time, but I don’t want you meeting with
them alone,” she says.
“Alpha Hunter gave his word that we’d be safe. You heard him, Nikki.”
“Do you trust the word of an Alpha now, Letti?” she asks.
“Not all of them,” Letti says, smiling ruefully. “But I trust the word of three Alphas,” she says, making
Nikki smile.
“I’d better be one of the three,” she says.
“Absolutely!”
