[Patrick’s P.O.V.]
When Alpha summoned us to his office and told us the information he had obtained from the library, I was shocked, to be honest. This seemingly frail girl before me was actually such a great wolf? However, Alpha did not seem to be too willing to accept Luna’s fate in the book.
Still, we were slightly relieved. Ever since Southern Wilderness Tribe was exterminated, Luna had never shown that she was a she-wolf with a superpower. As long as she kept it a secret, that f*cking Nicholas would not be able to find her.
Alpha decided that Rose’s Luna ceremony would be held three nights later but it seemed like there was nothing much for me to do for the time being. Hence, I made a request.
“Alpha, Lily’s academy will be holding a dinner party tonight. You know that she doesn’t have a partner yet, so I think I’ll go. After all, I don’t want any bad boys to benefit from it.”
“Who’s Lily?”
“It’s my little sister, Luna.”
“Patrick, you have a sister!”
“Yes and he’s a total sucker for his sister. You can go, Patrick. When do you set off?”
“Alpha, when I find my most handsome suit, that’s when I set off.”
Edward nodded. Just as I was about to turn around and leave, Rose said, “I’ve never been to university. Can I go take a look? I promise I’ll just look.”
I looked at Alpha and saw him thinking, but Luna’s eyes and tone completely crushed him.
“Babe, since you’ll stay with the tribe for a long time after you become Luna, we’ll go together.”
Luna seemed to be very happy. I knew that she liked to read because she had spent most of the past few days in the library, except when we were playing with her. I told them I’d meet them in the garage in half an hour. So now, I had to go find my clothes before I embarrass my little sister.

Although our packhouse was only an hour and a half away from her school, Lily rarely spent much time with the tribe. She seemed to prefer playing with her friends in the city to hanging out with me and Noah, which sometimes made me feel like a failure. I took it to mean that my sister was still young and was more curious about the outside world.
When the three of us arrived at the school, a slim and beautiful woman greeted us. My little sister was still so cute, but I immediately saw a small tattoo on her shoulder blade.
“Lily, why didn’t you tell me you got a tattoo?”
“See, this is why I don’t want to spend too much time with my brother. You nag so much more than Mom does.”
Alpha and Luna smiled. Although I was a little embarrassed, I immediately introduced them to each other. My little sister immediately showed her respect and affection towards Luna, whom she had never seen before.
“Luna, I really like your hair!”
“Thank you, Lily. God knows how much I envy your eye smile.”
It seemed that both of them were happy with each other’s compliments – girls seemed to be quite easy to satisfy.
Later, Lily showed us around the school, which was so big that we could only go to some of the places. Luna, on the other hand, was always full of envy and curiosity.
We strolled around for about two hours then spent some time sitting under a big tree on the school lawn where people were reading or playing guitar. It was quite a pleasant atmosphere. Once we were ready to go, I headed to the dinner event with Lily while Alpha took Luna on a tour of the campus before taking her to dinner at a restaurant near the academy. When the dinner was over, I would return to the tribe with them.
I waited for Lily in the common area of the dorm, bored. I didn’t know how long she needed to put on makeup, though she told me she would do it as quickly as possible.
Suddenly, I smelled a very nice scent, like a combination of fruity body odor. I stood up, alert. And my wolf Duke started to get very excited in my body. But I could sense that the scent was not from a familiar person. It was not even the smell of a werewolf.
At that moment, the door to the common area opened and a young woman walked in. I swear I had never seen such a beautiful woman ever. She had lake-green eyes, silky black hair, and her lips were like cherries. My eyes followed her until she walked straight into Lily’s bedroom.
“Our mate.”
I could hardly believe it when Duke howled crazily inside me..
