“Uhm… yea, her tests have all come back looking good, so she was given permission to leave the hospital,” Galen said, quickly adding, “She’s still in Summer. Just staying in a room with Axel instead of the hospital.”
“She’s recovered?” Alexander asked, turning back to his desk. “She and Axel are together tonight?”
Galen nodded.
“There were still a few small concerns, and they will repeat the brain scan tomorrow. But from the sound of it, she’s out of danger now,” Galen replied. “And it’s the full moon… so I assume they are… well… busy with full moon stuff….”
Alexander let out a shaky breath. Galen could see his hands on the desk, and his tight shoulders began to relax.
“Galen…” Alexander whispered. “I need you to do something.”
“What’s that?” Galen asked.
Alexander turned around; his eyes lit up with their unearthly glow. A dangerous grin spread over his lips, and Galen unconsciously took another step backward.
“Clear the forest,” Alexander growled.
“Clear the”” but that… the moon is already out, how am I supposed to”” Alexander!”
But it was too late. The Alpha had already run out of the room.
Galen sighed. He pulled out his phone, calling Bell to apologize and let her know that he would not be able to make it to dinner at the restaurant.

Selene and Fiona had been sharing Ren for the past several hours. They took turns holding him, feeding him.
They had even held a small fashion show, taking turns putting him in different suits.
Fiona was incredibly proud of having procured a military uniform for him.
Selene sat on the floor, covering her face with a blanket and playing peek-a-boo with him while Fiona warmed up his bottle.
Her phone rang, she saw that it was Galen and smiled.
“If you are calling to make sure I know the proper temperature and amount of time to heat the bottle, your wife has already given me exact instructions,” Fiona smiled into the receiver.
“I have no doubt of that,” Galen laughed. “She probably even marked the bottles to show exactly how high the formula should be before you added the water and after.”
“Mmhmm, and I don’t think she appreciated the joke I made about eyeballing it.”
“Ha… yea, no, she wouldn’t have… you didn’t, though, right?”
Fiona laughed out loud.
“It’s just that there is an exact amount that Ren likes to drink. If you give him too much, he gets pretty fussy and”
“Galen,” Fiona sighed.
“Hmm?”
“Did you have a reason for calling?”
“Oh, right. Uhm, I was hoping you could help me spread the word,” he said. “Alexander has ordered that the forest be cleared.”
“What? But it’s a full moon!” Fiona replied with genuine shock. “And she’s already risen!”
“I know,” Galen sighed. “But he wasn’t in the mood to answer questions and ran out the door immediately after giving the order.”
Fiona closed her eyes and sighed.
Clearing the forest was the right of the Alpha. It meant that he wanted to hunt without interference or interruption. Simply put, he wanted no other wolves in the forest during this time.
But to do so during a full moon was insane. This was the night that mated couples took to the trees to allow the power of their bond to flow freely through them.
Fiona could not understand why he would do such a thing for the life of her, especially after the moon had already risen.
“Do we even know what it is he is hunting?” Fiona asked with exasperation.
Selene glanced up at Fiona, wondering what it was that was irritating her.
She picked up Ren, smiling down at him as she set him back into his bassinet. She was just about to take the bottle from Fiona when there was a sudden prickling along her skin.
She licked her lips and then gasped as a howl echoed in her mind and heat spread over her body.
Before Galen could answer her, Fiona heard the gasp.
She turned to see Selene standing behind her. Her chest was rising and falling with force as she took heavy breaths. A blush spread over her cheeks and the soft moonlight reflected from her eyes.
Fiona covered her mouth and watched as Selene swallowed and then turned to the door, leaving without a word.
“I don’t know what he could be hunting,” Galen replied. “He just left without another word.”
“Galen, we need to clear the forest quickly,” Fiona said. “I know what he’s hunting. No one is safe out there tonight.”
“What? Why?” Galen asked with concern.
“Because,” Fiona replied. “Any wolf that comes between an Alpha claiming his Luna, is seeking death.”

It had taken almost two hours, but Galen had managed to clear out the wolves in the forest. He had sent patrols to bring in any wolf they found, save for Alexander and Selene. They were to be avoided at all costs.
Alexander took another deep, cleansing breath as he watched the last of the patrols running through the trees. He had been watching for a long time, barely holding back his urge to enter the forest.
His skin burned. His lungs felt too small. Already his power was coming off him in waves. He stared out into the night, the full moon high in the sky above him.
His bright eyes fell on the trees with a hungry growl. She was out there somewhere.
As the last of the patrol left his hunting grounds, a howl cried out to the moon. Alexander grinned; she knew they were finally alone now too.
He roared and ran, shifting into his wolf. He raced through the trees with a single thought in his mind.
‘Find her.’
He caught her scent, it was faint, but hers was unlike any other.
It lingered at his snout, reaching down inside of him and stoking the flames of his desire. Alexander howled into the night, more determined than ever to follow that enticing aroma and claim his prize.
Selene ran through the trees; she could feel him in the distance. Searching, sniffing, hunting. Her heart was racing. Part of her wanted him to catch her, but the wolf inside demanded that he earn it.
They skirted each other around the trees for a long time. She would catch glimpses of his dark red fur, and then he was gone.
Her bright white fur made it easy for him to find her among the snowless terrain, but her speed and determination kept her far enough from him that she could make an escape.
Their scent was mingling together in the air around them. It was no longer distinguishable from each other.
Selene moved carefully above a small rock alcove. Just as she was about to jump down, she saw him. Alexander stepped out from the alcove, sniffed the air, and let out a growl.
She smiled internally. He was getting frustrated that he couldn’t track her scent anymore.
He took another two steps forward, and Selene prepared to strike. She jumped at him, and he turned, but it was too late. Her front paws landed hard against his back, and they rolled together.
They quickly recovered, and the two great wolves stared each other down, snarling and lowering their ears. Each demanding the other to back down.
Alexander bit at her. But, Selene pulled back and then dove forward, nipping at his leg.
They charged at each other. Alexander grabbed hold of the back of Selene’s neck, clamping down on her with his strong jaws. She let out a soft yelp, but he didn’t let go.
Selene felt a surge of defiance. She would not give in.
A thick, suffocating cold poured out of her. Alexander jumped back, letting her go as the cold tried to crawl into his lungs. He growled at her. The moonlight shone brightly from her eyes.
Selene stood tall, pushing more of her energy toward him. He took a step back. Inside her mind, Selene smiled.
Alexander felt the icy touch of her presence. It wrapped around his legs and slipped between his fur, sending a deep chill through his bones.
He snarled and pushed back against the cold with his own power. The heat melted away the frost that tried to penetrate his lungs.
He took a step toward her, shattering the cold between them.
Selene snarled, pushing even more of her power at him.
Alexander felt her will pressing against his own. She was strong, and on another day, she may have been able to break through. But, he had been holding back for days. Pushing down on all his desires, his longing, and his need.
This woman was his. Her wolf was his. He would claim her tonight or die trying.
Alexander took a deep breath and shifted back into his human form, standing straight and staring back at the great white wolf before him. Her moonlit eyes dared him to bend her will.
He pushed the full force of his desire back at Selene. He poured his every thought of her. His every fantasy into his will and sent it toward her like a wave.
His power crashed over her.
Selene gasped. She had expected fire, force, something violent. But instead, the heat she felt was entirely her own.
The strength of his desire forced her to shift back into her human form. She took a deep, shaky breath as he hovered along the surface of her skin, teasing her with a continuous electrical current that flowed into her.
Selene’s breath caught in her throat as she felt him moving over her tenderly as though it were his hands caressing every part of her at once. With each phantom touch, she licked her lips as her heart pounded in her chest.
