Chapter 3 Stella Was Right

Darien

I’m sitting in my office preparing for the mating ball, probably just another year without a mate. At 20 years old, I’m getting a little impatient. Where the hell is my mate? Then right on queue Stella comes barging into my office with the prettiest blonde girl I have ever laid eyes on. Her lavender vanilla scent hits my wolf, Zero, and I like a freight train “MATE!”

Her eyes snap to mine and she runs into my arms. FINALLY, the girl looks like she just turned 18, that explains the wait.

“You’re welcome for saving your mate’s life before you even knew she existed by the way” Stella grins at me, rolling her eyes.

I look Stella up and down and she looks like complete trash, she’s basically naked with nothing but Cole’s oversized tshirt on, she’s covered in a lot of blood that clearly isn’t hers, and her hair is a rat's nest of knots all the way down her back.

“What the hell happened?” I say surveying my Luna for any injuries, she looks perfectly fine. 

“Victoria, why don’t you tell us the story of how the fuck you ended up getting chased down with a knife by your brother’s mate, I’d love to be enlightened.” she says to my mate, who I guess is named Victoria.

Victoria

Stella is talking to me but I’m honestly not listening because what the fuck I’m actually a Luna now. I’m literally staring down this sexy Alpha with his sandy blonde hair cropped close to his head and muscled 6’5’ physique.

“Hellllloooo Victoria can you hear me?” Stella says, waving her hand in front of my face. Oh yes words, tell them what happened.

“Oh yea so after my parents died my brother Matt, became Alpha of Dark Moon pack, went crazy for that bitch Claire, locked me in my room for three years and only let me out so they can pawn me off on my mate at this ball, which I guess worked by the way. But when I tried to set Matt up with some girls I met she lost it and well then Stella found me.”

Darien was vibrating with anger he wrapped his arms around my waist and buried his face in my hair inhaling my scent. I sigh in contentment.

“I told you that fucking alpha was useless, Darien we should take that goddamn pack out tonight!” Stella screams in anger.

Just then a tall broad man with black hair and deep brown eyes walks in, he’s much cleaner then Stella, clearly he wasn’t part of whatever she was up to before she saved my ass.

“Victoria tell Beta Sam what you just told us.”

I repeat my story and Sam exclaims “Stella was right!”

My mate rolls his eyes and orders them “Both of you prepare for the ball especially you Stella you look like shit, you have 30 minutes to pull it together and then after we will have a discussion with Alpha Matthew.”

I grit my teeth, my brother is going to absolutely kill me. I got his mate killed, shit, I started panicking and apparently was not hiding it well since my mate leaned down and whispered in my ear “Don’t worry he can’t hurt you anymore.” I visibly relaxed.

Stella grinds her teeth, looks at us and says “Alright well I guess I’ll go get my shit together, where the hell is Cole I need to give him his shirt back.” Then she storms off.
