Shane POV.
It has been a month since I lost saw her. My mission on willows pack was coming to an end. I made sure not to spare a single rogue. I was full of questions and confusion about the reason she left without a word. The day she ran away my wolf was furious that he roared for her to come back, but she didn't. She simply left. I was devastated because I don't know the reason behind her heartbreaking decision. For the first weeks here my wolf was almost uncontrollable. He was furious and was complaining about the reason I had for not marking her as soon as we met. He told me the next time he finds her he will mark her. I didn't want to do that to her. I probably still don't want to force her but I love her too much that I couldn't bear seeing her reject me. I wouldn't stand for it. I couldn't see her in the arms of another man that isn't me. I can't and I won't accept that. I have no choice the bond that binds us is too strong. I will have to mark her the day I finally find her once again. I'll make sure she doesn't run from me again: All this thoughts flooded my mind while laying down on the bed. It was my last night at willows pack. The next morning I would have to return to the castle and report to father. Later I would have to go to the kingdom's prestigious school to teach the younger generation. I am a professor and an alpha heir. I have a lot of work and duties to do. I swear I will find my mate or she may come to me on her own. If she doesn't return I don't know what ill do. My thoughts are everywhere. The thoughts in my mind are looking for ways to find her and to figure her out. I don't know if I could forgive her or if she will reject me. I'm afraid. I thought about it all night. When morning arrived at 6:50 am I realized I hadn't slept yet again thinking about her. I have been having insomnia ever since my beautiful mate left. I want her so badly that I fear she may be in danger. A few days after she left my wolf lost track of her presence. He simply wants to run out and find her. He can't feel her or the mate's bond. It seems like she simply disappeared into nothing. It's as if she never existed. I'm afraid she may be dead. I have been working this month with worry and fear. I did try looking for her but every time we did find some tracks someone from the group would erase them. That man I don't remember his name but it's like he is trying to make me lose her tracks on purpose. I don't get the reason why. I did confront him and he said it was all an accident. He won't admit he lost the clues on purpose. Also, her scent was masked the day before her complete disappearance, but I have a feeling it was him who masked her scent. He won't tell me if he knows something. I did try to investigate him but the alpha of willows pack said, " it is best to not discover what has been covered," whatever that is supposed to mean. A month of agony has finally come to an end. Once I get home I'll ask my mother for her help. She has never liked the beta's daughter. She told me that only my mate can be queen no matter if she is strong or not. While getting ready to leave I was lost in thought. A little girl runs in and hugs me. "Goodbye, mister!" She was the daughter of the beta of willows pack. I had been staying at their house for the entirety of my mission. " Goodby Lily. Be a good girl and listen to your parents." I said looking down at her face. She runs out of the room and I make my way with my luggage out to the living room to say goodbye and thank you to that wonderful family. After saying my farewell I am escorted to the car that will be taking me back to the castle. On the road halfway to the entrance of the kingdom, I get a sudden scent. It was Elera and she was accompanied by someone whose scent is familiar, but I don't remember who it belongs to. I stopped the car driver and opened the car's door. I ran in the direction of the smell. The scent had shifted and that only meant they were in a car. I ran back and asked the driver to drive to the entrance. The scent headed to the entrance of the kingdom. What was she doing with that stranger and who does that other scent belong to? My mind was once again filled with questions. When we finally reached the entrance the car stopped and in front were several black cars ready to take me to the castle. When I opened the door I had lost her scent again. I walked to the car that was ready to take me home. As we entered town I felt her and her scent and I looked around but all I saw was a man with black hair and a girl that had red hair and golden eyes. They were sitting at one of the towns diners. She had my mates scent but what would my mate be doing with a vampire; and the king no less. I was about to stop the car when my phone began to ring. It was my father I picked it up. "Hello father" I answered. " son return immediately their is an urgent matter that needs your assistance." He said commanding me to return. I made my way back to the castle and I turned to look at the girl once again and she was looking right at me. Our eyes met and something in me told me to stop the car and just go to her, but I couldn't. She disappeared into the crowd as the car drove further away. It felt like I had found something and lost it again. Finally I arrived to the front gates. I took notice that their were many cars in front of the house. Something is definitely going on. The car came to a stop in front of the mansion doors. There she was the most beautiful person that gave birth to me. She stood their with a sad look. And next to her my father stood with a serious expression. I was starting to grow anxious. I stepped down and walked to them. " Mother, Father? What is going on?" I questioned. " Son the war is going to start soon. We predict it will begin a year from now. I think it is best to speed up your marriage to the beta's daughter." My father stated. " Love please! Don't force our son to marry a girl who isn't his fated one. Let him find his fated one first before we come to a conclusion. Give him time I beg you." She said with sadness in her voice. " Lets discuss this in my office further." Alpha Raphael said. We made our way to his office. Closing the door behind us we began to talk. " Since your mother doesn't want you to be unhappy with an unwanted bride I will respect your mother's wishes and give you two months to find your mated one, but if you fail to find her you will be married to the beta's daughter am I clear." He said with commend in his voice. My mother sighed in relief but I don't even know if my mate will agree to be with me in such a short time. " Cristal clear father I will find her and marry her as soon as I find her." I responded. " Good, but before you can marry her she will have to fight the beta's daughter and win to be able to become Luna." He said. " What! No why would you let our son's fated one fight in a battle that she may or may not be able to win. Freya demanded an explanation. " That is my final word love. No one will change that." He said. My mother seemed hurt by his words. She had no choice but to agree. I couldn't oppose either, but I honesty don't know too much about my mate. What if she loses and dies. I wouldn't be able to bear it. " She won't die. Our mate is stronger than you think. Their is special blood flowing through her veins. " Luzifier stated. " What do you mean by that." I asked wondering what he ment. " It will be her who tells you her true identity not me." My wolf said. " Son you are excused to retire." My mother said. " Thank you and excuse me." I said while making my way out of the office. I walked to my bedroom. Took of my shirt and grabbed a towel. I was ready to walk into the bathroom to take a quick shower. I saw something moving under my covers and I walked closer to it. I yanked the cover away. Underneath it was Sierra the beta's daughter. She was completely naked and was laying before me. She grabbed me by my neck and forced her lips onto mine. " Hello there. I will make you mine tonight." She said with a sexual tone. I grabbed her arms and yanked them away from me. My wolf was angry and disgusted. " How dare you come into my room at this late hour. Who let you in?" I commanded. " Come on I know you want me as much as I want you. You want to fuck me as much as I want you to fuck me. I will yell and scream your name as our bodies connect. Make me yours. Make me your Luna." She said with a smirk on her face. At that point, my wolf was about to come out and tear her apart. With a lot of self-control, I called for the guards. " Guards! Guards! Who let this thing in! Take her out now!" I commended with great rage. "Why are you doing this I will be your queen whether you like it or not," she said. How could I let that thing become my queen? No, she can't compare to my queen. My only and true queen Elera. I would never mind her being in my bed or kissing me. All I want is to see her once again. I went off to shower and later I laid in bed thinking about her and how beautiful her body could be. I drifted to sleep thinking about her precious lips that I wouldn't mind kissing. Waiting for her to come to me I fell asleep.
