Episode 3.

Another new day has dawned! Last night may have been the toughest night for Elena, but it seems like it isn't so bad after all.

Despite having numerous thoughts occupying her mind last night, Elena was undisturbed during her sleep like she used to be restless at her own very home. Not even Dean paid her a visit to disrupt her rest.

Alpha Dean chose not to share a bed with her, understanding the need for some solitude. He graciously gave her space.

The long-awaited day has arrived, with the eagerly anticipated night approaching. Elisa has already tended to Elena's needs, from cleaning her room to preparing her meals, which are now ready.

So, Elena stood in the corridor, peering down from the upstairs, as Elisa approached her gently.

"Are you done?" Elena inquired, to which Elisa nodded in response.

"Yes, the dress is all set, your meal also my, Luna" Elisa confirmed as she joined Elena at the top of the stairs, both of them looking down.

Elisa noticed Athena's lingering gaze as she eyed Elena from head to toe while conversing with other members about the preparations for tonight's full moon celebration.

"She's been staring at me like that since morning," Elena remarked to Elisa, recognizing the intent behind Athena's gaze.

Elisa took a deep breath. "This is all the more reason for you to be cautious," Elisa advised, prompting Elena to turn toward her with a perplexed expression.

"Why should I consider someone I haven't even interacted with as a potential enemy? I don't sense any threat in her gaze," Elena replied, glancing down at Athena once more.

"Forgive me, my Luna. I'm not trying to turn you against one of your subjects; it's solely for your safety, a duty I must fulfill," Elisa explained, after taking a deep breath.

Then she settled herself on the staircase, observing Athena and her group intently while Elena just decided to ignore the case.

"Where is the Alpha? Should I put on the dress now?" Elena asked in a hushed tone, preparing to reach for the clothes, but Elisa interrupted.

"Excuse me... The dress is meant for the night, specifically for the full moon celebration. Only then should you wear it. Dean wants you to stand out among everyone," she clarified.

Elena took a step back, relieved that Dean wasn't actually taking her away for a trip as she had feared. She had actually started to worry that he might do something to her outside, like he had done to his past Lunas, but thankfully, everything was happening here tonight.

"Here comes the most beautiful one!" a voice suddenly interrupted from behind, and they turned to see Dean approaching.

Fear once again gripped Elena; she never felt at ease around this man. Her heart raced as he drew closer.

Elisa discreetly moved aside to give them some privacy.

"How was your night, my darling?" Dean inquired, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead and then taking her hand in his, though Elena remained wary of him.

"Would you mind taking a walk with me?" He asked as they descended the stairs, Elena continuously acting naive but Dean engaged her in conversation.

Athena glared at them with evident jealousy etched on her face. However, Elena was too captivated by Alpha Dean's presence to notice her at that moment.

•Later At Night•

•Full Moon Revolving•

The pack was already buzzing with activity; decorations adorned the place, and neighboring packs had been invited to join the celebration.

A particularly esteemed guest, Alpha King Mula, a close friend of the pack, was among the first to arrive, invited by his best friend, Alpha Dean.

Dean believed this night would be special as he would be marking his mate, his one true forever mate, in front of everyone. That's why he had invited his good friend, Alpha Mula and other special guests as well, to attend.

As Mula's car arrived, his men promptly opened the doors for him and his beta, Ryan.

Upon stepping out of the car, Mula felt a warm and welcoming sensation. Dean, who was eagerly waiting at the gate, approached him, and they embraced tightly, exchanging pats on the back.

"This celebration feels grander than any I've attended before. You've outdone yourself, Dean!" Mula exclaimed, sharing chuckles and smiles with Dean.

"Ryan, it's good to see you again. Welcome!" Alpha Dean greeted as they embraced.

After the greetings, they helped carry Mula's gifts inside the pack. The gifts were tokens of appreciation that Mula had brought for his dear friend, Dean.

As they settled into their special seats at the ceremony, an inexplicable feeling lingered with Mula, the feeling was all about his better halve. His wolf instincts were urging him on, whispering 'mate, mate.' in his head.

Mula is younger than Dean being 20 years old as Dean should be 25, he has a dark complexion, he has a striking blue eyes both in his wolf form, he's clan are very powerful, more like himself for carrying the title of the Alpha King.

But with an equal standing in power ranking with Dean's clan, that's why they are equal allies

So as they seated quietly, the feeling was still coming, pressuring Mula so hard, she's around but he doesn't want to believe it, what's his mate supposed to be doing in his best friend pack? he supposed to find his mate just within his own pack.

But as seconds counts, Mula couldn't shake off the feeling that his mate was within this pack, then he immediately felt the urge to start looking for her.

"Ryan, I believe I will finally find her today. She's here," Mula communicated to his beta through their inner connection as they sat in silence.

"Her? Who are you referring to?" Ryan responded audibly, looking puzzled as he gazes around.

"Keep it secret you dick head, I mean my mate" Mula said and Ryan gazes at him in shock, it's somehow funny, he is an Alpha, his mate was supposed to be found in his clan not Dean's clan.

"Your mate?" Ryan gasped in astonishment, the shock evident even in his physical facial expression .

"Yes, it's her. I can't ignore it any longer; her scent is unmistakable. She's here, and I need your help to find her," Mula requested, while a smile crept onto Ryan's face.

Mula, in a whirlwind of emotions, had yearned for this day for so long that he was joyfully overwhelmed, that he couldn't understand himself at all.

"What's amusing? This is serious!" Mula snapped at Ryan.

"You think I can search for your mate for you? How would I even recognize her? The connection is yours, not mine, she's your mate soo...?" Ryan pointed out, causing Mula to look down in frustration.

Though Ryan might be correct, but Mula actively searching for his mate could distract him from enjoying the ceremony, so it's better he keep it later but he don't wanna miss this one time opportunity, he had longed for this day and it might as well be his only chance.

"Then maybe I won't be able to focus on the celebration. Perhaps you should take my place," Mula replied, prepared to act on his impulse.

"No, no, no! Relax. Dean might not be happy if he don't find you in our midst, Maybe you can look for her later. She's within the pack; she won't vanish," Ryan suggested.

"Don't be foolish! We've been here numerous times, and this is the first instance I've felt this way! She might be a visitor or a new member. But you're right; I'll wait a bit. Sensing her scent has given me a starting point for the search," Mula agreed, easing back as they sipped their drinks, anticipating the unfolding events.

While Mula contemplated his next move, Ryan's attention was drawn to the alluring hot ass Omegas moving about the room, Ryan is a bad guy! he loves women a lot, a real play boy.

Elena's Room.

"My Luna, I've been waiting for you for long now" Elisa greeted her as soon as she entered the room, noticing her slight exhaustion, indicating she had been occupied beforehand.

"I apologize; I was enjoying my time with Athena. She's a good companion," Elena replied.

Elisa gazes at her with a shocked expression. Could she not see through Athena's ulterior motives to spoil this special day for her?

"The Alpha mentioned that Athena will be responsible for my safety tonight. She will take charge of my protection, so please hurry with the dress. We are pressed for time," Elena elaborated, emphasizing the urgency.

Elisa, respecting her status as the Luna, had no objections. She promptly assisted her in donning her dress, and immediately she was fully attired, she stood radiantly beautiful, the black dress shimmering under the lights, it suited her so much.

"You look stunning! You're all set," Elisa complimented her after finishing the dressing, then Athena arrived as the escort to lead Elena to the Alpha.

Party Hall.

"Stay focused, Mula!" Ryan advised Mula, who was being distracted by this strong feeling hitting both him and his wolf.

"I can't concentrate! She's nearby! The signal is getting stronger! even my wolf could feel it more too!" Mula responded to Ryan through their mind connection.

Ryan chuckled at Mula's earnestness, finding it more amusing than concerning.

"Just relax and have a drink, Mula! You'll find her," Ryan suggested, trying to calm Mula down. Dean then entered with Elena.

When Elena and Mula locked eyes, their hearts raced, their wolves alarmed each other immediately, "mate! mate!" it was happily singing on their head.

"Excuse me, everyone! Allow me to introduce you to my better half, the future Luna, Elena!" Dean announced, pointing to Elena, as Ryan warmly greeted her.

"She's stunning! Nice to meet you," Ryan said with a smile. Mula interrupted him through their mental link, urgently informing him.

"Ryan!! That's her," Mula conveyed, while Ryan, still smiling and not fully grasping the situation but was suddenly startled into understanding.

"Who...? Wait...? What...?" Ryan reacted swiftly as his mind connected the dots to the earlier discussion about Mula's mate, Dean's supposed to be Luna, Mula's mate? fire!!!
