#Chapter 117: Something Special

Edrick

As I held the tooth in my hand, I instantly knew that there was something special about it. It was certainly an Alpha tooth, but it was so much more than that at the same time. I couldn’t explain it, nor could I quite put my finger on what was so special about it, but I somehow knew that there was something different about this tooth.

Maybe it was just wishful thinking, but the more I thought about all of Moana’s strange abilities, the significant delay in her wolf emerging, and now the tooth, I couldn’t help but wonder…

Was Moana the Golden Wolf?

I couldn’t be sure. All I knew was that there was something special about Moana — something that she didn’t even know yet herself. I was determined to find out, so that day, I decided that I would have to do some research on it. I would have to do it secretly, too, because Moana could be in danger if she was the Golden Wolf.

There was one thing I knew for certain, though: Moana was, without a doubt, my fated mate. I knew that now that I had fully experienced her scent. Even though I was ecstatic about this discovery, I couldn’t tell Moana. Not only was her own wolf still too weak to realize that my wolf was her fated mate, but I wasn’t planning on marking my fated mate and making her my wife. My parents are fated mates, but my father cheated again and again, and even brought Ethan home one day. My mother was mentally affected by their mate bond and had to accept everything. How could I trust a bond like this? I was unsure as to whether I could bring myself to potentially break Moana’s heart if that infidelity ran in my blood.

I couldn’t tell anyone about that yet, either. Being an Alpha mate as a human also could attract too much attention right away, and if Moana was indeed the Golden Wolf, then unwanted attention could be dangerous. A lot of people — people who hated the idea of a new age during which humans and werewolves could live in harmony — believed that the Golden Wolf should have been hunted and executed. Even though I was on the fence about my feelings toward humans up until I met Moana, I never particularly sided with those who believed that humans should be slaves, or worse, victims of g******e. In a way, I was excited at the idea of the Golden Wolf being alive; I wouldn’t particularly mind seeing more harmony between the two races.

But either way, I still couldn’t be sure about any of this. I would have to do some research of my own before I jumped to any conclusions, which was why I simply told Moana that the tooth belonged to an Alpha. That seemed to satisfy her for the time being, and now I could just let myself be happy that I had found my fated mate.

By the end of that day, however, it seemed that my happiness always needed to have some sort of caveat; and that caveat was that somehow, the paparazzi managed to get pictures of Moana and I entering the hospital the day before, covered in dirt and mud — with no masks on, of course.

sorts of speculative captions and comments. People wondered if Moana was my secret wife, whether she was a human surrogate and that I secretly had a different werewolf wife, and why we were covered in mud. By then, it was already too late; the damage was done, and I
