Chapter 95

A pleasant-looking young wolf eventually approached Celine and asked her to dance.

She accepted without giving it much thought.

For several minutes, she let herself be carried away by the music. She laughed naturally as she followed the rhythm of the songs and chatted with the young man, who turned out to be polite, kind, and even a little shy. There were no hidden intentions behind his words or inappropriate glances, only the obvious excitement of sharing a dance with the future Queen of Lemuria.

A few yards away, Aymara was already halfway through a bottle and beginning to feel the pleasant warmth of the alcohol spreading through her body. The music pounded beneath her feet, colored lights swept across the hall, and the wolves’ laughter filled her with an almost irresistible urge to keep enjoying herself.

She wiped the corner of her lips with the back of her hand and smiled when she spotted a brightly lit circular platform where several dancers moved freely to the rhythm of the music.

“Now we’re talking…”

Still holding the bottle in one hand, she walked determinedly toward the platform.

She didn’t even manage to place a foot on the first step.

A firm hand seized her arm and pulled her backward with enough force to spin her around and send her crashing against a broad, hard, warm chest.

The scent hit her before anything else.

A damp forest. Leather. Chocolate.

Aymara slowly lifted her gaze.

Intense gray eyes stared down at her with a mixture of irritation, relief, and a possessive instinct that was barely being restrained.

“You’re not getting up there, Aymara.”

She frowned and tried to pull free from the firm grip, but those fingers felt like they were made of steel.

“And what gives you the right to forbid me? Who the hell do you think you are?”

The massive wolf didn’t loosen his grip by even a fraction. He watched her silently for a moment, as though he were still processing what he had just discovered.

“Your damn mate.”

Aymara’s pupils widened for the briefest instant.

“I’m not about to let you climb onto that platform so everyone can see what’s underneath that tiny dress. Besides… you’re drunk.”

A smug smile spread across the young woman’s lips.

“So you’ve finally figured out I’m your fated mate?”

With a sharp movement, she tore herself free and shoved him with both hands.

TUE, MUY 10

The Second Chance Of The Rejected Moon

It was like trying to move a mountain.

Thomas didn’t even take a single step back.

“Well…” she said sarcastically. “I thought you had no sense of smell. Or worse, that you’d decided to reject me.”

The massive wolf let out a long sigh.

“I’m working. I planned to come find you when my shift was over.”

Aymara burst into laughter.

“Well, I’m busy having fun right now. So you keep working… and I’ll keep doing exactly whatever I want.”

35 your heys

Without giving him time to answer, she turned on her heel and disappeared back into the crowd until she rejoined Celine and the young wolf she was still dancing with.

Thomas watched his mate disappear among the lights, the music, and the crowd as a stab of frustration pierced his chest.

He had just found his mate.

And apparently, she preferred to keep dancing with the rest of the world.

His anger was beginning to consume him, but he simply continued doing his job.

His possessive instincts roared with almost unbearable force, demanding only one thing: take Aymara out of that place, lock her inside the four walls of her room, and remind the entire kingdom that she already had a mate.

Zack was on the verge of madness.

Bastian drove through the kingdom’s streets like a man possessed, checking the downtown nightclubs one by one until he finally recognized the castle’s armored SUVs parked outside Moon Eclipse.

He had arrived.

He slammed the vehicle to a stop, got out without even bothering to close the door, and strode into the club with his body caught halfway between his human form and the beast.

Claws had replaced his fingernails, and his black eyes glowed with an unsettling crimson light.

No one dared step into his path.

Everyone knew the Crown Prince.

And above all, they knew the reputation that preceded him.

The murmurs ceased, the crowd parted on pure instinct, and Bastian moved forward guided only by the scent of his mate.

He didn’t get far.

The owner of Moon Eclipse, pale as death, hurried toward him with the desperate intention of preventing the future king from reducing his business to a pile of rubble.

“Your Highness… it’s an honor to welcome you to…”

He never finished the sentence.

Bastian grabbed him by the front of his shirt and lifted him off the ground with one hand.

The Second Chance Of The Rejected Moon

The young wolf immediately began to tremble.

His feet dangled in the air as he struggled to breathe.

Zack spoke for him.

His voice came out deep, icy, and filled with a violence that sent a shiver through everyone present.

“Where is my mate?”

His arm shaking, the owner raised one hand and pointed toward the second floor.

Bastian released him without a word.

The young wolf crashed heavily onto the floor, gasping as he fought to catch his breath.

The prince wasn’t even looking at him anymore.
