Chapter 4

My heart began to pound, and I tried to calm down. When I turned my gaze and saw Leonardo, the most handsome man I had ever seen in my life, tall with dark hair and tattoos on his arms, I could see one that stood out more than the others. It was a wolf on the right side of his chest.

"Aurora do you remember Leonardo?" said my brother.

"I don't remember him very well. I was practically a little girl when he went off to college. He was always hanging out with women who weren't exactly his mate," I said, not giving his presence any importance.

" Auch, I guess I deserve that; nice to meet you too, Aurora," he said, looking at me.

"Aurora," my brother said.

"Aurora let's go shopping, and you are going with me," said Georgia.

"You will go alone; I can go with you," Rocco mentioned staring at Georgia.

"No need. We won't be long," I replied with a smile.

At the mall

"Aurora, what a nice bracelet. I hadn't seen it on you," said Georgia.

"Thanks, it was a gift from Roberta, a friend of mine," I said nervously.

"You don't have to lie with me, and I want you to be my best friend; the truth is I don't have anyone to talk to, and you are like a sister to me," Georgia mentioned.

"I want us to be good friends too; all these years, I missed my family a lot; I had my uncle and Roberta, but now I'm glad to have you around, Georgia," I said smiling.

"I noticed that when you arrived, you didn't have it, and now you don't take it off at all; by any chance, Roberta is a witch?" said Georgia smiling and waiting for my answer.

"I will tell you the truth, Georgia, but you have to promise me you won't tell anyone," I said, trusting her.

"I promise, Aurora," she said confidently.

"All my life, I have known that my mate will be a high-ranking wolf, and I have accepted it; the only doubt is when that time will come," I said, unsure.

"All I want is to be the owner of my destiny for as long as possible; that's why Roberta gave me this bracelet to help me. That masks my essence from my mate," I said confidently.

"Now I understand you, don't worry, Aurora. I understand you perfectly, and I support you in your decision," she said, smiling at me, "but what will you do when you find it? You won't be able to hide for long".

"Well, the truth is I already found him, and I've been hiding from him," I said, glaring at her.

"What, how, who is he?" said Georgia confused.

"Your brother Leonardo," I said.

"Oh, I don't know either to be happy or to give you my condolences, don't get me wrong, he's my brother, and I love him, but sometimes he can be a pain in the ass," she said, laughing at him.

"I know what you mean."

"What are you going to do about it," Georgia said.

"So far, he hasn't noticed. I will take my time and take things slow before I confess the truth to him; I want to know if he would fall in love with me without this mate bond our moon goddess has given us," I said confidently.

"This will be fun, watching my brother go crazy all over you, not knowing you are his mate," Georgia said, laughing, and I laughed with her.

"Leonardo, it will soon be Georgia's birthday, and I suspect she is my mate," said Rocco.

"I'm glad my sister couldn't be in better hands," said Leonardo. "I knew that overprotective attitude with her was for a reason; you have mentioned your intentions to Georgia."

"I'm still waiting for the day to come, and she will find out for herself," said Rocco.

"I hope so because these days we will be very busy, we have to review the list of alphas coming to the annual meeting of alphas and lunas to our pack," said Leonardo.

"It will be a great event for us. Let's go over the list," said Rocco when he saw a name that made him uneasy on the guest list, " Will alpha Contti from Highland Pack becoming," he said, worried.

"No, alpha Contti has left the position to his son Dario . He will be the one coming in his place," mentioned Leonardo.

"Maybe we should prepare one of our guest houses for him, and I don't think he would feel comfortable in our packhouse with so many people," mentioned Rocco.

"I don't think that's a problem. The main reason for this kind of meeting is to coexist between us and create new alliances," said Leonardo, "Something's up to Rocco; you seem a bit evasive with this alpha."

"No, I remember Dario . He is not exactly an example of friendship and respect. Still, maybe he has changed," said Rocco without mentioning the main reason.

"I have to talk to my father about this, and I can't let Aurora find out that Dario is coming, "Rocco thought.

"I find it strange the reaction of my beta about the arrival of the alpha Dario . I know he is hiding something from me, but I will wait to see his reaction when the time comes," thought Leonardo.

"Rocco, tomorrow Luciano, the future alpha of the Blue Mountain Pack, will arrive. His grandfather has personally asked me to welcome him to train with us and get experience when it is time for him to take charge of his pack," said Leonardo.

"It will be an honor, Leonardo. I have heard about his attacking skills. He will be a good opponent for Aurora in training," said Rocco.

"I don't think he is at her level. She will only train with me and no one else," he said thoughtfully.

"Excuse me, Leonardo, but on the contrary, I think it would be an excellent opportunity to chArturoge her to the maximum with an alpha unknown to her."

"We'll see," said Leonardo.

The next day

I woke up hearing someone knocking on my door, "Aurora, are you awake yet' said Georgia.

"No, but who cares my beauty sleep? Come in, what's all the fuss".

"I just found out Luciano just arrived, and he is so handsome," said Georgia.

"Who is Luciano?" I said, confused.

"He is the future alpha of Blue Mountain, and he will be training with us for some time while he assumes his position as alpha," mentioned Georgia.

"Another alpha, this is perfect, what I was missing having to deal with another alpha, I just hope this doesn't bring me more problems," I thought.

We got ready and went to the training field; everyone was in rows prepared to start. I took my place in the mainline to wait for directions from our alpha.

I was very nervous even with the bracelet; when Leonardo approached me, I felt insecure. I could feel the sparks when he touched my skin. I was afraid of losing control of my wolf in front of him.

I looked up and saw him wearing only a pair of black shorts, which revealed his well-defined chest and abdomen.

I couldn't hide how agitated I was to see him like that. My wolf was jumping with excitement in my mind, but I managed to control it, or he would realize that I am his mate.

Today, a new member will be joining our training, Luciano, and everyone knows he will be the future alpha of Blue Mountain. He will be with us for a while, and I hope you give him the respect he deserves," Leonardo said.

"Yes, alpha," we all said in one voice.

"Let's start," said our beta, "you will fight in mixed pairs; for those who don't have opponents, you will wait."

"Aurora, you will be with Luciano; you need a high-ranking chArturoge," said my brother.

"Yes, beta," I replied and headed to my fighting area.

"Aurora, nice to meet you," Luciano mentioned as he walked towards me, extending his hand.

" Same to you, call me Aurora," I said, smiling.

We took our positions, and the fight was quite fluid. Luciano was able to throw me a few times, which didn't surprise me as he was a high-ranking Alpha, but I could knock him down a couple of times as well.

In the last round, Luciano was able to knock me to the ground. He was on top of me, kneeling in a very embarrassing position, "I think I won this round," he said, smiling as he glanced at me.

Somebody make a low growl. We both turned and saw Leonardo, quite annoyed, staring at us.

"Someone is jealous," said Georgia as she looked at us in amazement.

I stared at her and put my finger over my mouth as a sign for her to stay quiet.
