It had been a pleasant surprise to see Alpha Matías and Thiago so soon after they had seen us off the previous night. What wasn’t so pleasant was seeing Catalina again. Her smile was overly sweet and her eyes were those of a predator, set on Badru and me.

My focus shifted to the man just behind, Adrian, who made a beeline straight for Evie. I had trained with him on several occasions and, unlike Badru who seemed to get along with him, he irritated the s**t out of me; I could never understand why as he had never done anything in particular. Both my brother and I tried to concentrate on greeting the others with Alpha Matías, Julieta, his Luna, Leah, Thiago’s mate, Elisabeth, his other daughter, and her mate, William, whom I had never met. He was the one she had run off to go claim not long after my brother and I arrived in Opal Sun. But my gaze kept lurching to Evie and how she smiled at Adrian… I wanted that smile… and the fact that her smile hadn’t been aimed at me made breathing a sudden task. Their easy interaction stirred a sickening jealousy.

To learn she had almost taken him as a chosen mate rocked me to my core.

Schooling my expression to something more neutral, Badru and I rejoined our parents, who were still speaking with Alpha Matías and our Beta Kate, with her mate, Lance. If I stayed nearby Evie’s scent and intoxicating pheromones any longer I may do something I would regret, only adding to my list of transgressions.

To my annoyance, that damned Adrian had rejoined his Alpha, speaking to Elisabeth’s mate, William. Not only did I have to contend with blanking Catalina’s flirtatious looks, I had to ignore his knowing and teasing grin.

“You Alphas ok? You look as though you’ve heard something dreadful,” Adrian spoke with a suppressed smirk, drawing all attention to my brother and me.

‘It’s like you think I won’t kill you in front of everyone,’ I mind-linked, attempting to suppress the glare I wanted to send him which only made his f*****g grin spread wider.

‘Now I’m realising why we hate this guy,’ Aasim grumbled.

“We’re fine,” Badru answered aloud with impressive restraint and control that I never thought I would see. Whereas I felt I was about to come undone. What the hell was Evie doing to us?

“Maybe the three of us could talk later,” Catalina remarked as her group moved on to grab something to eat. “Or even have a dance or two?”

‘I’d rather chew glass,’ my brother frowned.

Neither of us bothered responding and just said a polite goodbye.

“I know she isn’t your fated mate, but she would make a fine Luna to you both nonetheless,” our father coaxed. We knew how much he and Matías had hoped our packs would be unified through a mate bond, but it wasn’t in the cards.

“Too bad Elisabeth wasn’t mated to you either, such a wonderful young she-wolf,” our mother sighed, linking her arm through our father’s. “What a pity she now lives in that pack, with that vagabond hippy Luna.”

And here we went again.

The last time she and her Alpha were here, she certainly made an amusing spectacle of herself. Personally, I thought Ashen Star’s Luna was quite funny and kind.
