The rest of the day went by awfully slow. Aita had cleared me after Brynn had left. I knew she was Alora her mate but dang, I couldn't stand that woman.

I sat in silence on my balcony, I had locked the door. I didn't want to talk to anyone. Everything in my was longing for Kena.

Somehow I had made myself some kind of nest out of everything her scent lingered on. I still had to survive one more day until she returned. Alora and Dani had tried to pull me out of my room. Yet I had instantly commanded them to leave.

In the distance I saw Nimue walking around with the younger pups. To the right I saw Rieka, lunging at Alora who barely blocked the attack. This went back and forth until Rieka suddenly lunged at her left side, catching Alora off-guard. Hitting her full in the stomach.

I grimaced as Alora fell to her knees.  Brynn instantly by her side, towering over Rieka who didn't even seem affected. Brynn her eyes met mine, I rolled my eyes as I walked back inside my room.

I hated her. I did.

I pulled the green hoodie that Kena had left for me on, snuggling myself deeper into the nest I build. Letting her scent wash over me. 'She'll reach out.' Leto said, I knew she was aiming for Brynn.

I knew Brynn wanted to teach me how to reach my full potential as a queen. She served my mother, she knows her. I bet she wasn't this disrespectful to my mother. A growl escaped me. I grabbed the black, little diary. Running my fingers over the gold lettering at the bottom.

I sighed, opening it on page 3. 'Day 3. My emotions, my feelings and my powers are out of control. My wolf is overprotective as is my pack. You are growing insanely fast. I knew Lycan pregnancies last only 12 weeks, you are only one week old and already more powerful than most of us. You are making me stronger. Let them come. We won't back down.'

A soft knock on the door startled me, focusing my senses to whatever was behind the door. 'Go away.' I growled, tucking myself further into my nest. I didn't want to talk to anyone, besides Leto wasn't letting anyone near her nest. I just wanted Kena. My heart was aching for her.

The door slowly opened, Leto growled loudly as the person moved closer to the bed. 'Dang little wolf.' The familiar chuckle sounded. I got up, staring right in the icy blue eyes that had captured me from the very first moment. For some reason I couldn't control myself anymore. I didn't know what had come over me but Leto took full control as everything in me screamed for her touch. I jumped into her arms, pressing my lips against mine.

A purr shot through both of us. The feeling of her soft lips against mine was nothing like I've ever felt before, and feeling her silk hands caress my cheeks sent me over the edge. Her hands gripped my hips as she brought her body closer to me. I could tell she wanted this as much as I had, and I couldn't help but notice absolutely everything about this moment.

'I missed you.' She growled under her breath, I stared into her eyes. Filled with love and lust. She pulled me back into a kiss, her lips felt divine, her breathing was deep, she smelled like her spicy woodsy scent mixed with perfume. The way she moved against me let me know she was as desperate for me. I took notice to how she kissed, passionate yet subtle.

She walked towards my bed, my nest. Guiding me slowly as her lips never left mine. She laid me down slowly and climbed on top of me. 'I have been thinking about doing this, the minute I left.' She whispered in between kisses.

I smiled. It felt good being with her like this, she kicked off her shoes and jackets. She lifted her leg and straddled me as I continued to lay underneath her. She let her hands travel up her sides, going under my hoodie and feeling my warm hands under her slightly cold hands. I jumped from the suddenness of her actions but I ignored it as she deepened the kiss we were sharing.

She skillfully removed my hoodie, lowering her lips as she kissed my exposed collar bone. I felt my body tremble as she hit a sweet spot, which traveled all the way down to my leg. I loved how she seduced me and knew all the things that would drive me crazy. My hands lowered over the small of her back and to her ass where her tight jeans really teased me. I growled, I wanted her and with her soft lips pressing against the curve of my neck I found myself getting lost in all of it.

I felt he hands roaming over my shoulder and up my neck and they slowly made their way into my hair. She pulled my face into hers, kissing me sensually as she pressed her chest closer against mine. I felt her breathing hitch for the first time whenever I brought both my hands under the back of her shirt and rested them on the skin of her back.

Kena suddenly pulled back. Her eyes glazed as she mind-linked someone. I let out a frustrated growl, but I instantly swallowed it as Kena answered my growl with one of her own.

'What is wrong?' I asked as Kena got up, her entire body boiling with anger. Kena shook her head as she put her shoes back on, cracking her neck as she tried to force Alcione back in her cage. 'Babe?' I tried, but Kena left.

'Kena!' I yelled out after her. I quickly pulled the hoodie back of my head, rushing after her. 'Aita told Kena about Brynn.' Dani her voice rang inside of my head.  So? What does that have to do with anything.  Brynn was her first guardian, what exactly is the problem?

'Where is Brynn?' I asked through the link. But I didn't need to wait for the answer as a loud bang got my attention. I quickly turned the corner and bummed right into Dani. 'What is going on?' I whispered. Dani shushed me as Brynn glances passed Kena to make eye contact with me. She then returned her attention to Kena. Who seemed to be closer to losing control as a growl escaped her. Alora bowed her head and Brynn slowly followed.

Kena visibly calmed down. 'Brynn.'

'Kena,' Brynn spoke. 'Before you do anything, I want to apologize. I should have listened to you. You have to understand I had to protect my mate.' Brynn her voice had changed, she truly seemed to fear Kena at this very moment. I still had no clue what happened between these two. I knew Brynn was Kena her first guardian.

Dani eyed me, she shook her head trying to stop herself from laughing. 'The night of the fire, Kena told Brynn to save the children. Instead Brynn went the other way to save Alora. Yet Kena had already saved Alora. Brynn refused to listen and endangered the other guardians and herself.' She explained.

Oh dang.

'Give me one good reason I shouldn't hit you right now.' Kena spat, I knew that if Kena indeed would lose control right now she wouldn't back down. Alcione and Kena were both extremely temperamental.

'Because I am the only one that could help your mate reach her Lycan state,' Brynn softly responded. Kena her eyes snapped to me, trying to find the answer in my eyes. 'Besides you and I were inseparable, please don't give up on that because I was a stubborn wolf.'

Kena stayed quiet for a little while, before nodding her head. 'That is.. if your Luna agrees.'

Leto growled loudly in the back of my head. Brynn stood, straightening her back at the mention of my name. My eyes flashed between Leto and mine.
'Depends really,' I said.

Brynn eyed me curiously. 'Are you ready to show me the respect, I as a queen deserve.' I challenged, crossing my arms.

Brynn growled softly, tilting her head as she smirked. She gave me an acknowledging nod, 'Glad you accepted your title.' She said, before bowing her head.

She was right. I had to accept my title as queen and Luna of this pack, I had to find the answers I needed and I had to stop that woman from attacking my mate.
