Hi, my name is Jane Jones, daughter of Alpha Adam and Luna Anne Jones of the red moon pack. One of the strongest packs in its surrounding area. We have some of the best trained warriors, strongest allies, and a fearless alpha and luna who will put their best interest and care for the pack first. Many people adore and respect my father, and few would ever make him an enemy. Mainly due to the consequences of their actions, but also because of his merciful and kind ways. As the first born of my parents and female, I was trained as a strong and well-equipped warrior, with that, it was added onto my already strong alpha genes. Once I received my wolf Faye at the age of eighteen, I was able to fully complete my warrior training to the best of my abilities. I finished every training and beat every opponent with flying colors. I was undefeated! My wolf Faye is beautiful and strong with auburn fur. Sadly, one day I woke up to the same boring packhouse routine of being a red moon warrior and the slow duties of being part of an alpha's daughter. I decided to turn to something more passionate and truly me, something that made me happy, because I deserved to be just that. It wasn't easy telling my dad that I was passionate about becoming a teacher at the pack high school. I guess it made it easier for him to accept this considering that my younger brother Ethan would be taking over as alpha soon. His features were similar to mine with him having deep brown hair slightly styled to the side and deep blue eyes. But his strongly defined facial structure, broad shoulders, extremely fit build with a six pack, height of 6ft 2 inches, and tanned olive skin sets us apart. He is turning twenty-four soon and has already proven himself to be a strong leader for this pack. His already found mate Julia would be by his side as luna. We all loved Julia as she was a kind-spirited, high energy, and crazy person to tolerate my crazy brother. The Moon Goddess really wasn't kidding about making a mate bond take over your entire mind, body, and spirit for someone. Julia was twenty-two years old, 5 ft 8 inches tall, slim but fit build, blonde hair that came mid-back, mocha brown eyes, nice high cheekbones, and cute perky breasts that were fun size just for my brother. 

I sadly was already at the age of twenty-six and I still haven't had the luck of finding my mate. Faye likes to remind me everyday that it's never too late and that our mate might be from another pack. Honestly, I am all for having someone that will undoubtedly love you forever, even after death. Your death is their death. The one part that doesn't sit well with me is the possessiveness and the control that some mates may perceive as okay. There comes a point where it can be unhealthy for both sides and can create more work for the mate bond. Sometimes the longer time passes without finding my mate the more I feel more content with being alone. Not having to deal with someone overly possessive or jealous, I can do as I please freely, no rush on having pups, and I don't have to switch packs and leave my wonderful home for them. I just might have to weigh my options if the time comes for me to ever have a mate. Maybe the Moon Goddess said "fuck you", and I'm some lone wolf experiment that she used eenie meenie minie moe. Then again, my self-confidence isn't the best to find a mate. They claim that they love everything about you, but I just don't see how they could ignore all of your imperfections! The Moon Goddess really knows what she's doing. As for me and my own personal features, I have big blue doe eyes, dimples with my cute smile, long deep brown hair that almost falls to my waist, a soft hourglass figure with an ass to match, a small pooch since I've quit training but not too noticeable, larger breasts, lightly tanned skin, and I am 5 ft 6 inches tall. Maybe one day my mate will find these features desirable. 

It's a wonderful Friday evening at Red Moon high school of the red moon pack. Glancing around my 10th grade classroom, my students were currently finishing up an algebra test and they didn't look very pleased with me after I caught a few eyes. I'm sorry, but it is not my fault that they choose to "live their best life" as they call it, instead of studying for the lives that they have right now. I tried to be easy on them by allowing extra credit opportunities afterwards, so we shall see if they will be done. With only five minutes left until the final bell and ending class, I still have three students struggling to finish their last questions. A few more minutes passed; the bell finally came. 

"Alright, to my three left with their papers I will need them on my desk please. Time is up, and please remember that an extra credit assignment will be posted online tonight for you to check out." I quickly announced. 

"Oh please, Ms. Jones! Just give us ten more minutes. It's just that these last few equations are more time consuming." One of my students named Jackson says. He's one of my struggling students for this subject. I just know that he is a smart kid, he just needs more guidance for studying and tutoring so that he can pass math. He tells me every day that once he graduates that he will send me a yearly message explaining how he hasn't once used Pythagorean theorem. I told him that he has to pass first before we can get to that stage, and looking at his grades now he is short one more failed test of an F as a final grade. 

"I'm sorry Jackson but you had the entire period to complete it. Just remember that you have the chance to get ten extra points by doing that extra credit assignment due by next Monday. I really hope that all of you take the opportunity for this option. As much as I love all of you, I want all of you out of my classroom by June ready for 11th grade!" I finish with a smile. All of my students smile back saying yes ma'am as they make their ways out of the classroom going home. As I grab all of my tests together for me to take home and grade, I notice my outgoing best friend and coworker Jessica Hanes is entering my classroom. She is the daughter of our beta from the pack. Jessica has long strawberry blond hair, light freckles, light brown eyes, a beautiful smile with plump lips, not much in the breast area but has a slim waist with wide hips to still grab attention, she's 5 ft 10 inches, and has the look/walk of confidence like she owns the place. 

"How did your students do today, Jane?" She asks me, hopeful. 

"I think the majority of them did well. Well, except my usual, Jackson. I swear that boy is so smart! He just needs the help and the push." I finished aggravated. Walking up to me she grabs one of my work bags and helps me to walk out towards the hallway. "I am telling you Jane, you are too soft on these kids. You need to let them suffer the consequences of procrastinating or not trying at all. It's the only way they'll see how serious they need to take this. Plus, no one is even taking on your tutoring sessions!" she tells me shaking her head. "Well, you try telling those big puppy dog eyes the business then." I manage to strain out opening the door of the school building. 

"Oh please, don't me threaten with a good time!" Jessica replies, grinning at me. 

As we finally made it to my all-white Jeep Rubicon, she helped me put all of things in the back before we both got in. "You knowww, returning back as a pack warrior would be so much less stressful than whatever this is." Jessica states pointing around at my mess in the back of the car. "No Jess." I state flatly. 

"Not only a pack warrior but the undefeated pack warrior." She tries in a convincing tone. 

"Nooo." I drag out. 

"The pack warrior that always has a trick up her sleeve!" She states proudly. 

"Jess I-" 

"The only female pack warrior to take on many male wolves and kicked their ass!" She says cutting me off. 

"Jess plea-"

"The pack warrior that has more balls than the ones fighting her!" She yells, throwing a fist in the air. 

"Balls?" 

"Yes, balls deep Janey! The only pack warrior who could use her overly pushed up titties as bait to lure in her prey and then uses her signature move to finally finish them!" She states grabbing her own set on her chest. 

"JESS!" I yell at her while driving. "Oops, I got a little carried away." She laughs to herself. "A little? Woman, when did I ever use my breasts to win a fight?" I question her. "I mean you haven't, but you could if you just went back." Jessica suggests. Releasing a long stressful sigh that I didn't even realize I was holding in, we finally arrived at the packhouse. I turn off the ignition before turning to my best friend. "Jess, why do you always want me to go back to this old routined life?" I softly ask her. Glancing around a few times before meeting my eyes she finally answers me. "Because I feel like you're wasting your potential and everything that you have, Janey." 

"What?" I say confused. 

"You're an alpha's daughter for crying out loud! Not to mention a badass alpha at that. You should be a warrior, going to meetings for our pack, venturing out to see new places, and so much more. Not sitting back watching kids stick gum under the desks and write the hottest boys list on passed notes." She finishes throwing her hands in the air. "Jess, you do realize that you work for the school too, right?" I squint at her. "Yeah yeah, I am a simple guidance counselor and I counce them with the easy stuff. You know, like I tell them to quit fucking every hormone that walks by and to save yourself for the one true person that the Moon Goddess has set for you, your mate." She finishes closing her eyes, placing her hand over her heart. 

"Oh, wow Jess, that was really passio-" 

"Well actually, what I say is that if they can't wait and salvage the sex, then at least only suck him dry and eat her empty, but hey same thing." She shrugs while exiting my car. 

"And why did I think for one second that Jessica Hanes was being serious and sentimental?" I say more to myself following her lead into the packhouse. 

As we both make it to the front door entering the house, I notice my brother and father standing in the living room in deep conversation. Making myself announced in the room I drop to the couch releasing an exasperated sigh. "Oh, what a long gruesome day at work, if only a snack and bottle of water could magically appear on the beautiful mahogany wood coffee table." I finish placing my hand on my forehead, peeping at the two. They both glance at each other and then at me smirking. "Did I mention a very gruesome day and an even more gruesome ride home with yours truly!" I let out more dramatically turning to Jessica. She just gives me a smile and an eye roll before sitting across from me on the other couch. 

My brother Ethan walks over to me smiling while shaking his head. "Hey listen, Janey. Dad and I were having a serious conversation about a possible new ally with these new heard of rogue attacks. Even though you don't partake in these meetings to much anymore-" He pauses using his ocean eyes to tell me I should be here. "We still like to keep you in the loop." he finishes. "Okay well what pack is it?" I ask watching him and my dad's facial expressions harden. 

"Jane, it's the dark moon pack" my dad states hard and stern. Almost as if my ears are deceiving me, me and Jessica jump off the couches at the same time replying. "WHAT?" We both yell simultaneously. 

"Honey, it doesn't make me or your brother any happier with this decision. They do have a strong pack and reliable sources if ever needed. Not to mention the land and territory they have gained." My dad tries to say convincingly. "Yeah, they gained it through murder and taking orders from their short tempered, vile, and insensitive alpha! It takes a man with no balls and a small dick to think ruling over everyone and destroying everything in his path is the way to go. I heard that all he does is parade around as a jackass and that his pack has to follow indescribably strict rules that date back to the times of inequality and ignorance. Oh! And let's not forget to mention the horror stories of torture, and not only to prisoners but to his own pack. How could you two possibly think this pack or alpha alone is good on loyalty?'" I finish running my hands down my face. "Yeah, I'm sorry alpha Adam but I have to agree with Jane on this one. It sounds a little too sus for me too." Jessica says, crossing her arms. 

"Does mom even know about this?" I turn to my brother. "Of course, the Luna of this pack is aware of this new move. She has even set up a dinner for tonight to talk about upcoming arrangements and deals." Ethan says matter of factly. Before I can even make a smart-ass remark about how i'll be dead before I sit at that dinner table, my mother steps into the living room. "Yes, and I expect all of you to be present with tonight's company." She says sending me a quick look. "All?" I say scrunching up my face. "Yes honey, all. I would hate to look disrespectful and uninviting without having the family and wolves holding important roles at this meeting. Plus, alpha Jake has already requested we all be there. He isn't the easiest of people to get onboard with many agreements. He likes to see who he is dealing with, ALL the people." My mother says pointing in my direction. 

"Well, anything for an excuse to dress up for an eligible bachelor works for me" Jessica says sashaying away upstairs. I outwardly groan and follow her up to her room. "Jess you can't be serious right now." I say crossing my arms. "What?" She says looking around. "You're just going to willingly go to this dinner with one of the most stressful and sinister people in all the territory?!" I fussed at her while she started going through her closet. "Okay, so one, that's a little dramatically stretched. I wouldn't say in all the territory. Now two, maybe he just needs a little help releasing all his bent-up stress. Maybe someone needs to show him how to meditate, how to CUM-ba-yah." She hums, making fingers into meditation symbols. I externally make a vomiting expression at my best friend as she laughs. "You can't think seriously for one second, can you? Also, that's not a meditative phrase." I say straight faced. 

"Really Jane? I mean it's not like I have my mate yet, no harm no foul. Plus, I've heard his looks are to die for. His handsome deep blue eyes, jet black hair, defined jawline, hard rock abs and fit build, lightly bronzed skin tone, a low smooth voice that can make you wet on command, and he's 6 ft 5 inches tall! He will literally tower over us with intimidation and power. Also, I've heard our little alpha friend isn't foreign to having ladies in his sheets, and his pleaser isn't too small either." She finishes turning to wink at me. 

"Didn't you just say to salvage yourself for your future mate and suck dry and shit?" I curse now more aggravated. "Hey, let me be a hypocrite just for tonight." She says laughing. Even though she's a hypocrite every other night. Jessica never waited for her mate and says she needed to taste all her options in the world before settling down for her one and only. Not the best decision maker sometimes but she is still a good loyal and loving friend. "Well Jess, try and keep it in your pants until after the deal is done. I don't think anyone will be getting lucky tonight if he's in a bad mood." I say rolling my eyes. "Hmm, it's probably true but I'm not worried. Why don't you get all dressed up tonight? He might just want a piece of you." She tells me wiggling her eyebrows. My wolf internally groans thinking about attempting to sleep with another male that isn't our mate. 

"Mm thanks, but that's a hard pass for me. I have everything that I need." I say waving it off. 

"Ha, since when?! You're so back and forth about having a mate you still haven't had any action other than your 3-speed vibrating machine." She says smirking at me. Of course, she knows that I am still a virgin, she's my best friend for crying out loud. I quickly redden at her comment, understanding how inexperienced I am at twenty-six and how my confidence isn't really through the roof. "Here, wear this." Jess says tossing me a red mid-thigh bodycon dress. "Jessica! It's a nice professional dinner, not ladies' night. I am not wearing this." I refuse. "Oh ho ho, yes you are Ms. Jones, and I will toss out your whole closet just to make you. So it's either this or your skin sweater." She says with a devilish smile suggestively pointing at the dress. I huff out a large breath of air and decide to give up fighting her on it and nod my head in agreement. 

"Oh yay! Now let's get ready, I'll do your hair and makeup!" Jessica says excitedly. 

As I sit on her chair at her vanity with a large mirror my wolf faye starts pacing and stirring inside my head. 'Something feels strange, like a good strange.' 

I was confused about her excitement and statement and carried on with Jessica and she prepared me for this upcoming dinner of a lifetime. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two hours later after being pampered and dressed as Jessica's barbie doll, I was almost ready for dinner. I added the finishing touches of a nice pair of black heels that Jessica obviously donated to me for the night. I do have to admit after looking over myself in the mirror, that my looks could kill. I haven't felt this good and sexy in a very long time. "Maybe Jess was right, I should start getting back out there." I say to myself, winking in the mirror. I was quickly interrupted from thoughts as my mother, not so nicely, mind-links me to get my butt downstairs because the guests have arrived. 

Rushing down the stairs I start to have an odd feeling throughout my body. It almost sent shivers of pleasure and desire. My wolf began to howl with delight in my head and I had to fuss at Faye to calm down with her odd actions. As I got closer to the dining room my head got slightly dizzy, my heart began to race, those feelings of desire and need started up again, and a smell of sandalwood and sea salt stopped me in my tracks taking my breath away. 'Mate Jane! Our mate is here, finally here!' Faye mentions urging me to into the room. To my demise as I entered the room, my eyes immediately found this arousing and soothing smell quickly from none other than the devil himself, Alpha Jake. Our eyes met quickly without any words. The silence was deafening and his cold stare was quickly turning as his orbs flicker from black to blue. Every breath got caught in my throat and I was unable to control my fast heartbeat. I wasn't sure if it was due to the mate bond or just fear of being mated to one of the coldest people there is to know. His gaze doesn't leave mine as his eyes roam my entire body in the dress, down my slightly toned legs and to my heels. The stare almost feels as if he is undressing me in front of everyone here. I notice his jaw begin to clench as a few other of his pack members do the same from his side of the dinner table. I quickly grab my seat next to my brother and mother, ignoring everything that just happened, hoping that this is a fun joke from the Moon Goddess. "Everything okay, Janey?" my brother leans over and asks me. "Huh, o-oh yeah. I'm just a little nervous, that's all. It's been awhile since i've been in a room with this many powerful people." I say lowly. I quickly smile up at Ethan giving him reassurance that I'm okay. He smiles back giving my thigh a squeeze. A loud growl interrupts our moment as we both quickly turn to where it was coming from. 

Alpha Jake was breathing heavily and giving Ethan a death glare of a lifetime. His eyes were switching between his beautiful pools of blue to black, obviously trying to calm down his wolf. I awkwardly laugh as his eyes shift to me, making me feel the heat down to my core. My wolf and mind betrayed me by putting explicit thoughts of desire and needs that he could only fulfill. I know he could sense my tension and arousal starting. Not knowing how to clear the tension I leave my seat and hurry off to the bathroom. "I'll be back, I need the restroom!" I announce going into the hallway. Once I was finally halfway through the hallway of the house, I stopped leaning my back against the wall breathing heavily. Within a split second my eyes go wide and my breath catches in my throat with surprise as I'm being pinned against the wall. My arms are now forced above my head meeting a hard glare from none other than my mate, Alpha Jake. His lips are almost brushing mine as he speaks to me in a low husky voice. "Hello, mate." He says leaning into my neck running his nose up and down inhaling my scent. I gently close my eyes trying not to fall into the moment. "What do you think you're doing wearing something like this?" He asks me, firmly grabbing my thighs, pulling them up and wrapping them around his waist. My body became jelly at his touch and if I wasn't being held by his strong arms it probably wouldn't be too good for me. Sparks and other sensations ran throughout my body making me crave more. My wolf howled in delight urging me to make the first move, but I couldn't, not with this malicious man. Suddenly my eyes flew open as he slowly started grinding into my core against the wall. Slowly but with hard pressure, pressure to make me know who he would claim as his. Not to mention that his "pleaser" really is on the larger side. He started peppering small kisses slowly down my neck to my collarbone, letting go of my arms after noticing my exposed cleavage and gave both of my breasts attention. One hand dove down into my dress grabbing my right breast, pulling and squeezing at my nipple while his mouth went to work on my left breast. He greedily needed more access and pulled the top half of my dress down to my stomach. Sucking and encircling his tongue in all the right ways on my left breast had me breathless. All the sparks and feelings from the mate bond had me on cloud nine. My body betrayed me falling into his touch, releasing soft moans as my head fell back on the wall. Soon after he was done attacking my breast with his soft and addicting lips his deep blue eyes tore into mine.

"We-we have to stop thi-" I tried to breathe out but was quickly caught off by the overwhelming sensation of his lips crashing onto mine. I was trying to keep up with his aggressive yet needy pace, all while taking in oxygen to breathe. My fingers eventually get tangled in his soft dark strands pulling at it slightly. I earned a sexy groan in approval and he squeezed my ass in return. I move my tongue over his bottom lip asking for entrance and he gladly allows me in having the complete taste of him. He pulled impossibly closer leaving no space between us. Enjoying the heat and sparks our bodies are making soon begin to fade from my mind as I remember exactly where we are and that anyone could catch us. Pushing away I quickly unwrap my legs from his waist and settle myself on the ground. This needed to stop before things escalated further than necessary. We both say no words and allow our heavy breathing to settle down. 

"So are you going to finally tell me why you dressed to impress every male this evening?" Jake sternly asks, cutting the silence. 

"And who are you to be questioning me on how I dress?" I reply fixing my dress back to normal. 

"Your mate and alpha." He shoots back, pushing me towards the wall again.

Alpha?! Who the hell does this man think he is? I never accepted him as my mate and I damn sure didn't agree to switching packs. Glaring at me, he smirks as if waiting for me to challenge him. "One, you don't control me, and two, I never accepted you as a mate." I say through gritted teeth in his face. He slams his hands on both sides of my head on the wall. It slightly scares me, making me quickly close my mouth. "Ha, where's all that confidence you just had mate." He says trying to intimidate me. "W-well I-I" 

"I'll stop you right there. You are mine and only mine! If you think that I will ever accept a rejection and allow you a second chance mate then you are highly mistaken. I wouldn't test your mate, little one, especially an alpha." He finishes towering over. It was incredible seeing how much his frame was larger than mine. It was still oddly comforting and warming and not scary. "Listen, I don't know if the Moon Goddess is playing games with my fate, but there is no way that someone as malicious, vengeful, and insensitive as you. Your leadership is complete shit and I don't agree with how you do things. I will be staying here with my pack and family and sorry but that's that." I say proudly crossing my arms. 

Jake only smirks at me and looks at my body from head to toe excitedly before quickly grabbing me by the waist. "Hey, what are you do-" I was cut off by him throwing me over his shoulder walking back towards the dining room. I began kicking and hitting his back with my small fists. Obviously, it did nothing but suddenly I felt a hard smack on my ass, followed by a burning sensation afterwards. I gasped turning red as I realized what had happened. "I think you will be a fun little feisty mate. I can't wait to take you home. Now let's go tell everyone the news." He says grinning, smacking my ass again. I yelped from the pai again, but oddly it was a good pain, an arousing pain from him. Pushing my stupid thoughts away I suddenly became fearful of this new surprise that is going to be unveiled to my family. "P-please Alpha Jake. Don't tell them now, I'm not ready!" I beg him. "I've waited too long for you, for what just happened in the hallway! I am going to have my mate, my Luna." Jake states firmly.
