I had him restrained against the wall before he can complete his statement, pressing my elbow into his throat.
“She is mine,” I growl, exposing my teeth to him. “You shall return her home.”
He averted his sight, succumbing to my Alpha presence.
“Affirmative, Alpha,” he responds with a strained tone.
I released him and returned to my workstation, recording all the information he would require to construct my Tiny house. I replicate the badge and forcefully press it against his chest.
“Locate her and persuade her to return to me,” I hiss, forcefully pushing him out the door. “Otherwise, I will eliminate you myself.”
“Affirmative, Alpha,” he replies, exiting the room.
The prospect of Laura returning home alleviates my anxiety somewhat, however Marlon’s demeanour concerns me. He has never been one to challenge my choices.
I must closely monitor him.
I am on the verge of instructing Zen to commence preparations for Laura’s homecoming when I receive a mindlink from Dr. Rayna.
“Alpha,” she says. “The Luna is awake.”

Marlon’s Perspective
“We must converse,” I telepathically communicate to my father while preparing my belongings for Washington. “I will arrive home in 20 minutes.”
Perhaps she will not harbour animosity towards us, Adam, my wolf, attempts to console me. Perhaps she has had the opportunity to forgive.
Both you and I am aware that Laura does not pardon betrayals; I confess. I have betrayed her in the most egregious manner.
Adam becomes silent, recognising the futility of disputing the facts. I complete the packing of my belongings and load my bags into the vehicle. The journey to my parents’ residence is brief, with my father awaiting my arrival in the driveway.
“Where are you going?” “He enquires as I arrive.”
“There has been a modification in the arrangements…” I murmur. “He located her,” I interject, shifting the car into park. “Aldo discovered Laura and I have been dispatched to escort her home.”
His complexion diminishes. “However, Aldo cannot continue as Alpha.” There is no assurance that his wolf will have sufficient sanity to continue leading us, even if Laura returns!
“I am aware of that!” I retort, my father scowling at me for elevating my tone. “I am fully cognisant of Aldo’s madness.” He believes Laura will absolve him for his actions against her. Regarding our actions against her.
My father pauses momentarily, contemplating a fresh tactic. Simultaneously, I endeavour to compose myself, my heart beating at the prospect of confronting Laura once more. The expression of betrayal on Laura’s face that evening resurfaces in my thoughts.
“I cannot return her here,” I whisper to myself. “I cannot subject her to torment once more.” She merits to reside in tranquilly with her canine companion.
What are your intentions?” my father asks, lowering his voice.
“What I ought to have accomplished four years prior,” I exhale, igniting the engine. “I shall safeguard my Luna.”

Ricky orders a pizza, and the three of us sit by the fort to watch Shrek in Spanish. I struggle to comprehend most of the dialogue, but the subtitles assist me. Ricky becomes agitated as we observe, occasionally casting furtive glances at me and repeatedly adjusting her position on the pillow.
I sense she has something on her mind, however I hesitate to intrude on her solitude; thus, I gently place my palm over hers, causing Ricky to wince as the sparks between us erupt. Ashamed, I pull my hand away but she grabs it in hers and interlocks our fingers, whispering an apology under her breath.
“Apologies… it will merely require some acclimatization,” she blushes, her thumb gently stroking mine. “Your hands are… warm…” she smiles uncomfortably.
She remains silent, redirecting her focus to the film. I wish to enquire about her thoughts, but before I can devise a method of communication, there comes a knock at the door.
A sense of apprehension arises within me at observing Andrew in the doorway. He attempts to conceal his anxious expression with a smile, although his eyes betray him.
“The Queen desires to converse with both of you regarding today’s…incident,” he states, meticulously choosing his words.
“Jadi committed no wrongdoing,” Ricky exhales, adopting a defensive posture before me.
Jimmy is utterly enamoured by the gesture and, like a lovesick puppy, insists on emerging to claim her at first glance.
Is that the sole thought occupying your mind at this moment? I reprimand him, aware that his conduct will certainly result in our expulsion from the territory.
No, I am indeed contemplating her breasts as well, Jimmy responds casually. Observe how she is expanding her chest. They appear excellent in this top.
I loathe you, I exhale, understanding that trading wolves is currently impossible.
Believe me, I would exchange humans instantaneously, he replies.
