1 was late; the party had already began in full swing; This would be the first mating ball | was witnessing in this
pack, it did makes sense for the ball to take place here as this pack is one of the biggest and would contain more
guests and visitors.
The mating ball brought back past memories, but I have finally moved on. | had promised myself to enjoy my
tat the party.
Thane would be here anytsoon and we would go together.
Still, | had this unsettling feeling, and that might be because today marked six months since | arrived at the
Nightshade Pack, so literally, today was the day my contract with Thane expired -not that we were still bound by
the contract, but to think that this could have been the end...
My thoughts were cut off by the knock on the door.
| was only expecting Thane at this tand he wouldn't knock-well, maybe he sent Axel.
| walked to the door, pulling it open with a smile on my face, but it wasn’t Axel as | expected; it was a
commander. | didn’t know his name, but | had seen him with Thane a couple of times.
“Can | help you, Commander?”
“Luna, the Alpha had orderedto escort you to the ball.”
“What?”
“I'm sorry, is there a problem?” He asked politely.
“No... no,
there is not; if you would givea few minutes, | would go grab my purse and be right out.”
“That's fine,” he says.

| shoved that idea away quickly, it was stupid, but | couldn't help but keep revisiting that thought.
Just then Thane entered along with Axel; the crowd fell silent for a moment before returning back into their
celebratory mood.
1, on the other hand, was mad as hell.
Thane walked up to me, placing a kiss on my lips before taking the seat, right next to mine.
Axel mingled with the crowd, only givinga wave.
I was mad at them both.
After a few minutes of silence, Thane spoke up.
“Are you mad at me?” He asks
“No, why should | be?” | answered.
“I don’t know; you've not said a thing to me.”
“Maybe that’s because | am not in the mood to talk.”
