No sooner had he ripped the wolf apart, Alina saw a glint of silver h their bond and out loud for hier deep into Vasile’s back

Vasile heard Alina’s gut wrenching scream just before he felt the air rush out of him and the cold steel bite deep into his back His wolf howled, enraged at the cowardly action of his ene over at that point even if he had wanted to He phased, juh the knife was pushed out by his power, the wound was still bleeding and badly enough that it would take some time to heal

As he lowered his body, hiscanines over two inches in length, he met Emilian’s eyes He too had phased to his wolf He foolishly believed he had a chance now that he had injured the larger Alpha Vasile knew better Vasile flew at the cowardly wolf in a rage, running straight at the Alpha and plowing his head into his ribs Eht so that he didn’t end up on side with his vulnerable soft stoed to keep his feet and bent his head around to clamp his powerful jaws on Vasile’s shoulder Vasile immediately dropped and rolled The unexpected move caused Emilian to release him They circled one another, now both fully aware of the other’s strength

Vasile watched Ehtly to his head and his fur puffed up to er He could tell that the traitor eary and probably would not be able to fight ed forward fast and hard, Vasile knew that the other Alpha’s plan was to attack as hard as he couldwith quick in-and-out motions in hopes that Vasile would soed the snapped jaws and whipped around just in time to take Emilian’s claws on his flank instead of across his ribs No sooner had Vasile lowered hiain This ti quick speed, Vasile ju jaws and cla strength He released it just as quickly and jumped out of the reach of Emilian’s own ht on the broken leg and quickly pulled it back up Vasile’s wolf sensed victory as his prey weakened It was tihtful Alpha for the Eastern Romania pack He drew on the power of the wolves who had sworn fealty to hi only an Alpha with a loyal pack could do It fueled his ownhe had never felt, his ht and goodness He iined that if he could see inside of hihtly, chasing away the darkness

Alina fell to her knees along with every wolf present as her mate declared his victory over his ene out into the silence called to each of theether As the howl died she watched Vasile turn in a slow circle regarding his pack as one by one they bared their necks in subhtful place He here he needed to be in order to help their species thrive, to becohty wolves that the Great Luna desired they be Hecould hold his gaze

"Coravelly, the wolf still in control

She obeyed, standing and walking through the crowd As she walked she heard the murmured words of her pack as they addressed her, accepted her

"Luna" Over and over it was repeated until she reached Vasile’s side He looked at her, and she saw the adoration burning in his eyes

"You must address our pack now, Luna of Mine"

She turned and looked out over them Some she knew very well, others she had yet to le one of them she held love in her heart

"Vasile has taken back as his by right He is our Alpha I am his mate and his Luna Todaythis to you as your Alpha pair Never again will you live in fear Never again will you be unprotected Those of you who are doain will you battle with your wolves Your Alpha is strong enough to control the beast raging inside you We are pack; ill love each other, support one another, sacrifice for those who need us, and ill stand united Declare your fealty to your Alpha and let us once again thrive under his care"
