Are you angry?

Perla, who is in charge of the archives, is near my desk and approaches like the queen of gossip that she is, seeking and providing information.

"Annia, what is His Majesty and the Beta in such a rush for?" she whispers to me.

"I don't know, they must have something important to do," I shrug, because honestly, I have no idea what those two are up to.

I know there was a request that Felicia Mars, Alpha Geronimo's daughter, was accepted as His Majesty's Luna last week, but last night she was mysteriously gravely injured in an ambush. It seems that her uncle and cousin don't want His Majesty to find a Luna and overthrow him. Perla is an information source that the internet would love to have, she's like a WikiPerla.

"I wasn't aware, but thanks for letting me know. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some tasks to take care of," I hope she catches the hint and leaves.

I'm going about my tasks when I receive a message that leaves me frozen.

"Hello, puppy... Do you miss me?"

It can't be him, or could it? Damn, what do I do now? What do I say? My heart is racing and I don't know how to respond, but I do what I shouldn't, as I always do.

"You presumptuous, audacious mongrel! What does this mark mean? Shameless!"

I'm so furious, offended, aggrieved, and disappointed. I don't know why I start crying, maybe it's because he doesn't want to be with me.

I start sobbing while looking at my phone like a silly little girl. When there's no response, I leave my phone aside, trying to dry my tears and regain some composure.

"Puppy, don't cry. I don't like seeing you cry. You're so beautiful and good. Are you angry?"

My nose sniffs, and I can't stop sniffling.

"How do you know I'm crying? And yes, I'm angry because you forced me to be with you and won't give me your identity. Let me warn you, you mutt, if you hurt me, I'll tear you apart."

"Spoiled little puppy, I haven't forced you. Remember, I asked you, and you accepted. But I will explain everything later. Right now, I can't tell you who I am, but never doubt that you're mine, my Mate, my destined partner, and I would never hurt you. You are my soul and my everything. Just give me time, and I will take you with me to have many mischievous little wolves like you."

I'm confused. I'm laughing like a foolish person, filled with happiness. This audacious male has made me bipolar with his behavior.

At least, he has confirmed that I am his Mate and that he wants to be with me. I just hope it's true.

Kiara is creating a fuss of happiness in my mind, and I have to assume that she doesn't have a problem with our Mate. That leaves me at ease. She has always been strange with alphas and never liked them, so having an alpha mate doesn't seem to bother her now.

"When will I see you again?"

"Puppy, I will find you when I can, and it will be soon. I promise."

I have a silly expression on my face, but I quickly regain my composure. He is my Mate. I didn't want to find him, but he found me. I look around, trying to figure out who he could be. He knew I was crying, so he must be nearby. I need to investigate who he is and why he needs to stay hidden. Obviously, he won't tell me, but before I can delve into it, shocking news brings us out of our thoughts with Kiara, who seems to know more about this matter than I do, judging by her relaxed expression.

They call us to the palace auditorium for an official announcement. Gamma Celius takes the stage to make the announcement.

"We have gathered you here to announce the tragic passing of Felicia Mars, Alpha Geronimo Mars' daughter. She was attacked by rebels last night on her way home, and she passed away moments ago. It was planned for her to become the next Luna, but the plot to overthrow the rightful King of shapeshifters grows more fierce and dangerous."

I suggest that from now on, we should all be careful as a rebellion is brewing, and we do not want any civilian casualties or harm to their families. Therefore, this afternoon, we will evacuate women, children, and the elderly to ensure their safety. Please make sure to settle all your pending affairs and after lunch, start preparing your belongings to be evacuated to MontePiedad.

Kiara is anxious, and so am I. I learned from my father, who was a warrior, that an evacuation signifies that the city will be besieged at any moment. However, my mate is out there, and I am on the verge of becoming a widow without even knowing their name.
