She trusts me with her heart because she feels it, too. The connection. The deepening of whatever is happening between us.
Mira isn’t just my duty as my Luna anymore. That might be how it started, but she is so much more than that.
My heart beats a little faster.Fear.
I’m afraid of accepting this. The intensity of what I feel toward her is already overwhelming. What would it do to me as the Alpha if Iallowedmyself to love her fully? Would I be able to serve my pack in the way that is expected of me?
I have been singularly focused on being an Alpha for my entire life. It was all I ever thought I’d be. The idea of being a husband, a mate, a lover, a father… these things never featured in my plans. Yet here I am, confronted with them.
Wanting them.
Mira snuggles up to me, and my resistance breaks away.
I can be both. I can be anything I want to be with her at my side.
We lie in the forest in peace until the sun begins to sink toward the horizon, then she helps me pack our things, and we start the hike back to our cottage.
On the way home, we’re laughing again and debating our favorite movies, and I’m discovering how much I missed out on while I was in Black Ops training.
“We’ll have to rewatch all the series together,” she insists, as we arrive at the edge of the forest near our meadow.
“Since when do we have enough time to relax and watch series,” I laugh.
“We have all the time in the world,” she says, smiling at me with confidence.
My heart flips, and I realize that we do. We have our whole lives together.
I see him too late.
Mira squeals in fright and points at the guy halfway up the tree right next to her, messing with one of our security sensors. “Jace!” She shouts my name, backing away.
The guy leaps from the tree, landing right in front of her. He grabs her and picks her up, throwing her backward. She stumbles, almost crashing into another tree, but luckily lands on soft grass.
As she falls, every cell in my body cries out in agony at the idea of something happening to her. At the idea of losing her. It almost breaks me, it’s so painful.
Because I love her. Because she is everything to me. More than anything. She is the force of breath that gives me a reason to live.
I spin towards the intruder, the man who tried to hurt her.
My blood is boiling hot lava.
My heart beat drums like thunder in my chest. I can barely think or see straight, I’m so angry.
My wolf goes blind with rage.Someone tried to hurt our mate!Jux screams at me, hackles raised, fangs showing. I glance at Mira, growling, furious, out of control.
Her eyes shoot wide, and I don’t even realize I’ve shifted. When the guy starts running, I’m right behind him.
He’s in wolf form too, and I leap over rocks and fallen trees after him.
Somewhere in the distance, I hear Mira shout my name, desperation in her voice, but I can’t stop. Jux is going to catch this man and rip him to pieces for touching her.
We will never let anyone hurt her. Ever.
Chapter 23 - Mira
Jux disappears into the forest, chasing the stranger. Panic floods me as I get to my feet, screaming his name, begging Jace to come back to me.
But he’s gone.
