Episode 5

Julia had become a beautiful woman. Emily too, but Ju's

personality always attracted me more. Despite being very shy, I always

felt a very strong connection and often caught myself thinking about a

possibility of a future together. And her wolf was beautiful.

But when Emily told me about Julia's feelings, it was

as if something had broken inside of me.

And now I knew she wasn't my mate. I

confirmed that when she shifted. I confess I was disappointed.

She would be an amazing Luna. And a wonderful mate too...

But what was I supposed to do? I wouldn't want to push her away.

So Emily insisted that I should distance myself and let

time do its work. It wasn't what I wanted, definitely. But I would do anything

so that she would be ok.

After the ceremony, everyone went home, with

the exception of Julia and her wolf, Ceci, who asked for permission to run a little

more to get used to it. I allowed it, as long as they stayed within the perimeter

of our lands.

I leaned against the window, to breathe a little more fresh

air and process all the information I had received and put my

feelings in place, when I heard a howl of sadness coming from the woods. I looked and

stared into honey-colored eyes and a beautiful white and gray wolf.

I felt my stomach churn and a tightness in my chest.

I lay down on the bed and tried to sleep, hoping that a good

night's sleep could eliminate most of the problems in my head.

The next day, when I woke up, I felt calmer and went

to the training ground, where the strongest of the pack prepared themselves under the

watchful eye of Emily's father, my beta, Carlos.

Miguel, Julia's father, was as always taking care of the

records, and talking to someone on the radio he kept practically

glued to his ear.

"Alpha!" Both greeted, lowering their heads.

"Good morning, Carlos and Miguel."

"Sir, we need more equipment, Miguel has already placed the

order and we are awaiting delivery around 4 pm."

"Ok, then forward the receipt to my office. Remember to check if the hospital needs

supplies."

"Sir, it has already been checked, I placed the order and forwarded the

invoice to your email this morning."

"Thank you Miguel. What about the school?"

"Everything is in order."

"Can we start training then? Beta?"

"Yes sir!"

We started our training with the other members of the

pack. It was intense. In the end, I didn't even remember the situation with Julia.

Carlos stayed by my side the whole time, reminding me of all the tasks I needed to perform during the day. Miguel had to leave early, as he had other, more administrative tasks.

I only realized what had happened again when it was night and I lay down on my bed.

"What a pity, Alexandre. I was really hoping she was our mate. She would be an amazing Luna!"

"I know, Peri. I'm disappointed too. What does Selene have in store for me?"
