Mated to the Alpha and His Beta

DarkLuna: You must be certain this is what you want. You can’t go back from this.

DarkLuna’s words blinked into existence before my eyes.

| hovered my hands over the keyboard, wanting to type my answer right away. Because there could only be one, right? Still, | took a few moments to reach out toward the Moon Goddess with everything | had.

The room spun away from me. The floor became a dark chasm. The roof flew off, revealing the stars, the moon, the immensity of space. | closed my eyes and flew, even as | remained completely aware of the chair under me.

My hands resting on the keys of my laptop.

The Moon Goddess didn’t speak to me this time. Everything | felt moved through me in what seemed like threads of light. They moved outward from my heart, into my veins, arteries, capillaries.

Lily howled, and her wolf senses filled me. Scents, sounds, the sensation of wind over our fur, the brightness of the moon in our eyes...| was my wolf, and my wolf was me.

| opened my eyes..

| took a full, deep breath.

This is what | want, | typed. | need to know everything you can tell me.

DarkLuna: Tonight. Midnight.

My heart raced. That was only a few hours from now. Mason hadn't even come back yet. I’d need time to explain everything to my mates and also to convince them this was a good idea. That wasn’t going to be easy.

But did | really have a choice? It wasn’t a question of wanting answers, but needing them. If this was the

only way to do it, and so far, it was the only way I’d found, I’d have to go.

No matter how dangerous it felt.

Lily chuffed her approval. | no longer felt the presence of the Moon Goddess surrounding me, but | knew. that she was still there. She would always be there, even If parts of me were not wolf, | belonged to her fully.

I can be there, | replied.

DarkLuna continued typing out instructions. | was to meet her in the closest human city, which was the first thing that made me nervous. Wolves had no business messing around in human territory. Human-wolf interactions were always bad news, to my thinking. For a moment, | hesitated, thinking of the facility and the humans and wolves working together there.

Was Dark! una truing to not me to an in cnmonlara like that? If she already know about the facility why 1/3

did she need me to tell her what | knew?

LunaLooking: Why the human city?

DarkLuna: The meeting place will be safer. Most normal humans have no idea about our kind, and so they will not be watching out for our meeting.

LunaLooking: There are humans who work with wolves, and it’s never good.

Along beat of silence followed.

DarkLuna: Is information about this something you have to share with me?

LunaLooking: Yes.

DarkLuna: This is my requirement. If you don’t want to meet, then | guess you will simply have to suffer

your ignorance.

Da mn, this b itch was cold. | had to admire her. And, after reading what she’d gone through with her Alpha, could | really blame her? Who knows what kind of person I’d become without the love, care, and support of my

mates?

My fingers were almost cramping from how fast | was typing.

LunaLooking: I'll meet you wherever you need me to. Give me an address.

Astring of numbers and a street name appeared. | quickly used my phone to check the maps app and see how long it would take for me to get there. Time felt like it was already running out.

LunaLooking: | can be there at midnight.

More words appeared.

DarkLuna: You must come alone. Fully alone. Your three mates must remain behind. Nobody waiting in

the car.

Coldness shot through me so hard my teeth started to chatter. How did DarkLuna know! mates? Two could be a good guess, but knowing about all three had my suspicions on high al

Before | could type anything else, more words appeared

DarkLuna. To show you that | am to be trusted, | acknowledge what must be your concern. Fra be a fool not to be worried. You may bring one mate with you. They will wait for you at a secure locat miles from our meeting place. | will have someone there to assure your mate remains there while you meet if your mate attempts to join you or interfere in any way, or if the other two show up, | will immedi leave our meeting and you will not get your answers: Type yes to agree

LunaLooking: Yes

More words appeared, much faster than before. The addresses of both meeting places, all the

instructions

DarkLuna. You have two minutes to write all of this down before this chat is permanently deleted.
