River’s eyes welled with tears. So many emotions swirled in her mind. Her happiness had no bounds yet she didn’t want to betray Hunter. ‘But I love Alpha Hunter, she said to Layla.
‘I know you love him, but this is our mate, River. You have to go to him. We have to see who he is.”
“I can’t betray Hunter”
‘Please River, Layla begged her ‘Let us meet our mate. Trust me. I can feel this is going to change our world forever!” River nodded as her body shuddered with anticipation. She followed the scent, her chest heaving with nervousness. Breathless, she was surprised to find herself walking to Hunter’s office.
And when she reached there, she opened the door. Her gaze locked with Hunter’s
“River!” he said and rushed to her. “Is everything okay?”
“Mate”
Hunter’s ***dropped to the floor in astonishment. “Your wolf has woken up?” he asked, a shudder passing through his body
River’s lips trembled. Tears poured out of her eyes out of pure happiness. Hunter was her mate. Nothing could be this beautiful in her life. She was battling with her emotions and even contemplated on rejecting her mate to be with Hunter, but this “You are my mate.” Her eyes flickered amber.
She heard gasps from behind but she didn’t care about them. She didn’t know what was going on. Her world had stopped, tilted on its axis and started spinning again. Around Hunter.
Hunter nodded as he cupped her cheeks. “I am,” he replied. He leaned over and pressed a kiss to her lips. Something snapped between them.
River threw her arms round him and buried her face in his chest. “I love you so badly that it hurts,” she murmured through her tears. She still couldn’t believe her luck. Why was everything becoming so perfect? The Moon Goddess had finally blessed her.
“I love you, too,” he whispered, wrapping her tightly in his embrace. “And I know your wolf wants to meet me.”
“Yes!” River looked up at him. “Layla is dying to meet you.” Layla was somersaulting inside.
“I told you to trust me she chuckled inside her. “I want to see his beast!”
River laughed through her tears. “She is dying to meet your beast!”
Hunter chuckled. “Mine too!”
River was so excited and busy with her emotions that the world faded around her. She realized the presence of other people in the office when Elijah coughed.
Since both Elijah and Asher knew that River was Hunter’s mate, they both were smiling when River looked at them. “We are so happy for you, Alpha Hunter,” said Elijah. But they both knew that this was going to pose a lot of problems if it came out in the public right now.
Hunter kissed the crown of her head. He led her to the office and closed the door. His happiness was over the top. He was in the ninth sky He never expected River’s wolf to awaken and here she was. She called him mate. He made her sit on his lap, not able to part from her for a single minute now.
“
River too loved to sit on his lap and she didn’t feel shy in doing so. It only felt natural. As for Hunter, he wanted to have alone-time with her. He was dying to take her, to sink his fangs in her and make her his so that everyone in the pack knew that she belonged to him. Yet he couldn’t do that, because of the stupid laws that his ancestors had created.
They resumed the talks about the attack of the werewolves. “Ella is leading the attack, Alpha, Elijah said.
“I am sure that she is trying to build relations with the demons.”
“Ella?” River said, feeling miserable suddenly
“It’s not your fault that she has run away” Hunter reassured her.
River looked down in her lap. She shook her head. “I shouldn’t have trusted her.”
“Don’t worry, okay?” Hunter said “Whosoever aided her in running away, will be caught and once I catch him or her, I will make sure that they live in ***!”
River gave him a sad smile
“I will be going to deal with Ella tonight. I want you to stay in the castle, okay?” he said to her.
A sudden shudder passed through her body thinking about his safety. They had just recognized each other as mates. She turned to him and said, “You mean in the forest surrounding the Veil?”
“Yes.”
Panicked, she wanted to protest but how could she? She just said, “Can I come with you?”
He smiled and kissed her forehead. “No, your woll wouldn’t be that strong initially. You have to stay at home.” “But-“
“Don’t worry, River. This is just a small operation my team will be conducting,” he cut her off, undermining the whole thing. so that she isn’t scared
She chewed her lower lip as worry marred her beautiful face
