Chapter 307
“The Legend, right? Alpha Ezra said she’s the real deal and our Luna, Margot, said the same,” he says.
“I didn’t think your Luna had accepted your Alpha yet,” I say.
“She hasn’t, but it’s only a matter of time. My Alpha can be very convincing when he wants to be. He saved her life when her previous mate came to get her, and he got her to agree to come live with us and see our pack. We need her, the pack needs a Luna,” he says sadly.
“How would that work for us then? If a pack needs a Luna and you and I were equals in our pack?” I ask.
He shrugs. “I’m not sure. I mean, how is it working in Alpha Amelia’s pack?”
“That’s a good question.”
“Here’s another question for you,” he says, stopping and pulling me a bit aside from the large group who is walking the borders with us. “What are we going to do between now and the competition? I don’t want to leave you, even if it’s only for a week. My wolf, Andre, won’t let me rest if we’re away from you, even if you let me mark you. What about you? Would your wolf be okay with being away from us?”
I don’t need Mei to answer, I can already feel her need to be closer to her mate.

“No, she won’t want that either,” I say
“Would you be willing to come to my pack with me? Being a Beta, it would be tough for me and for Alpha Ezra if I were gone especially if I win this pack and leave. I’d like to make sure I have things in order before that time, but if you’re not comfortable, I’ll talk to him and see what I can do,” he says.
I step up to him. I barely know the man, but I already feel drawn to him, and I like that he’s worried about being away from me and willing to talk about how we can compromise together.
“I’ll come to your pack with you, but let’s get one thing straight before we go,” I say, running my finger down his t–shirt.
“What’s that?” he asks, his voice deepening as I touch him.
I lift up on my toes and put my face so close to his that I can feel his breath on my lips. “I’m the one winning this pack.”
His smile is instant. “You think so, huh?”
“Oh, I know so. I want it, therefore, it will be mine,” I say more confidently than I feel. Jake’s response to my closeness is making me feel bold.
He wraps his arm around me, pulling me against his body, his dark eyes watching me intently as his hard length presses between us.
“And what about me, do you want me?” he whispers, his nose rubbing against mine.

“Yes,” I breathe.
“When do I get to become yours?” he asks.
I look at his lips, wanting to know if they are as warm and soft as they look.
“Tonight?”
He shakes his head. “That’s too far away.”
“What did you have in mind, Beta?” I ask him.
“Everyone is following the Alphas and they’ll be busy for hours. I happened to notice an area by the river we passed that looked like it might be a bit secluded.”
“You want to mark me out here in the middle of nowhere?” I ask him. although the idea holds appeal.
“I want to christen our future pack lands with our love. I want both of us fight for this pack like nothing we’ve ever fought for before, because we’ve literally left our mark on it
I love that idea. “Lead the way,” I whisper.

We slink away from the others like we’re naughty teenagers sneaking out for the night. When we get to the place he saw, I see that it’s actually beautiful and we can easily conceal ourselves here. Mei pushes forward and I see Andre in Jake’s eyes as I turn to him.
He pulls me into a kiss, and I finally get to feel his warm, soft lips on mine. We spend the rest of the afternoon and evening, marking,

nating, and talking about our platts for the future under the stars. Jake‘ s mind is everything I’d hoped for, kind, loving, and intelligent, and by morning, I know I’m ready to follow him to Alpha Ezra’s pack, ready to start the rest of my life with this man, and ready to begin training harder than I’ve ever trained in my life, because Jake is right.
We’ve left our mark on this pack, and now, I can’t let anyone have it
but us.
