The Wait Is Over
Eclipse Howl Beta Jace’s point of view
A delicious scent of strawberry mint mix comes with Ariel as she throws herself into Gorgio’s arms.
It’s faint, I can’t quite put my finger on it, this feeling that ignites inside me and makes Dexter restless. What I do know is that I must have more of it, I can’t leave it here and go. I have a hunch, but apart from Ariel, Alexis and the witch, there are no other females here.
Or maybe one of the warriors is a woman in disguise.
Because I’m not gay, that’s as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow. But the scent is tantalizing, I want a taste as well. But where is its wearer? I scan the area again, my attention now away from the conversations in front of me. Alpha Zane is trying to delay his death, using the King’s presence to his advantage.
There is no other female in sight.
‘Dexter, is this what I think it is? Is our mate here? Reach for her wolf, I don’t want to lose her. We got to have her’.
‘I want her too, but I can’t see her. We lost Alexis, she belongs to the Beta of Midnight Moon. But it looks like Selene is rewarding us with another. Aaahh Jace, I want to meet her so badly. I will pamper her to the moon and back so that she never leaves us.’Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
I look again at Alexis, who is hanging lovingly around Beta Eric’s neck. He has his face in her hair and I can see a vein pulsating in his neck. The man is terribly eager to mark his mate right here. If Alexis were mine, I would waste no time in claiming her. The Alpha King’s litter is magnificent, his daughters perfect.
And then I saw her. Carelessly she steps out of the car, but when she has taken a few steps her eyes turn big as saucers. She has sniffed me and cannot believe she has finally met me. Her eyes make a round until they reach mine.
‘MATE!’ we whisper simultaneously, staring at each other in utter disbelief.
It penetrates me immediately, the authority shining through her eyes. She is a Lycan. So this must be the cousin King Jasper was talking about, the one he visited in the hospital in Human Town. And she helped Ariel escape from Midnight Moon. My heart leaps with pride and joy, she probably has the same urge to protect my Luna as I do. That is great.
We take a few steps towards each other before she sprints up and hugs me around the waist, her hands gripping me like a vise. She is definitely not small, but at my height, her head is just below my neck.
“At last! I have finally met you. I have been through so many packs looking for you. And now I meet you in the middle of a war.” My hands go around her, of course, my fingers buried in her hair as I hold her tight against me.
“You found me, this is the right time. I have been waiting for you too. I planned to search for you once Gorgio and Ariel had everything under control. But you are more than welcome in my life, my lovely mate. I gently pull her head back so I can look straight into her face.
Bloody beautiful. All mine.
Unable to resist the temptation, I pecked her lips.
“I am Beta Jace of Eclipse Howl. Be a good girl and tell me your name. And your pack.”
“Fiona. I am half human and Lycan. The King is my uncle. I hope you don’t mind.” I feel her pull away in fear, but I hold her tight. Nothing can take her from me now, in my arms she will stay for the rest of her life.
“Even if you were a full-blooded human, I would still want you. You’re my mate and that’s all that matters.” I kiss her forehead.
“You have a wolf,” I observed. “Xander tells me happily that your wolf is great and has accepted him. Shall we do the same?” Shyly, she bobs her head several times.
“I accept Beta Jace of Eclipse Howl as my mate and pledge allegiance to him and never leave his side.” Dexter performs a lap dance in my head as I stare at Fiona in love.
“And I accept you too, Fiona, with all my heart. I will care for you and protect you, even with my life.” And just as I am about to kiss her on the lips, I hear Alvin, the Head Warrior.
And just as I am about to kiss her passionately, I hear Alvin, the Head Warrior.
“Boy, am I glad you got this girl. I was afraid Xanna was your mate and I would have to forget my plans for tonight. Dear Fiona, welcome to our pack.” All three of us burst out laughing, even though the circumstances around us left little room for jokes.
And then I sobered up instantly.
“Xanna!” I burst out. With my mate still pressed against me, I turned to look for the witch.
“Here she is, Beta. In my arms.” I glanced at the Head Warrior for a moment before turning to the woman.
“It’s time to remove the choker. Put it around Alpha Zane’s neck for all I care,” I growl sarcastically. Out of the corner of my eye, I see the Alpha take a step back as Gorgio chuckles. He takes Ariel to the witch.
Xanna closes her eyes and mumbles a few words in a foreign language. Her hands tremble as she unlocks the choker and opens her eyes.
“This was prepared by a black witch. Alpha, what were your plans with Ariel? This was not only to suppress her wolf but to control it as well. Ariel would gradually be forced to see Alpha Zane as her mate.” Xanna’s hoarse voice rises in the deafening silence.
The King and the Alpha King, who had been watching in silence, growl dangerously at the Alpha. He will have to figure out how to get out of this alive.
But once again the loser is saved. This time by an unexpected visitor.
“Don’t blame him, Ariel. This Alpha is capable of anything to get his way. Nothing can interfere with his plans. And he wanted you, no matter what it took. Zane is evil.”
All mouths drop open at the sight of the red-headed woman.
She is pregnant, my senses detect the pup with her.
‘MATE!’..
