Third Person's POV:

"You sure it's her? " The man in black robe asked.  His long beard made it almost impossible to distinguish him in the dark room.

A lady in red dress walked away from the burning fire,  the only source of light in the entire room.  "I lived with her mother,  there's no way I won't recognize a Moonlit." She replied.  The confidence in her voice was enough to make anyone trust her words, but not him.

"Eliana,  you know I believe in proof more than hollow confidence. " He said. Eliana smiled at his choice of words and forwarded her hand.  There was a photograph in it,  carefully  placed between he long nails.

The old man looked at it and a smile embraced his wrinkled face.  "Why should I  believe that it's the girl and not her mother? " He asked.  Eliana was loosing her patience with every passing second. 

The moon goddess did not bring her back for this.  She was not reborn to please an old man. "Then don't. " She said and threw the picture in the burning fire.

A loud curse echoed in the entire room and before the old man could even register what happened,  Eliana was holding his heart in her hand.

She turned around to look at the little boy peeping through the half open window and smiled at him. "You can have this as a toy if you desire." She threw the bloody heart in his direction,  making him cry in fear.

"This is what happens if you test my patience. " She said,  her voice enough audible for her own ears...

Eliza's POV:

He walked closer to me as I took steps backwards. His eyes turning darker with every passing seconds. I finally took one more step backward and hit the bathroom door behind me. He reached closer to me with the speed of light and trapped me between him and the door behind.

I felt blood rush to my cheeks. His sent felt inviting to me. I raised my hand to touch his face when suddenly the door burst open. Dylan instantly covered me with the blanket lying on my bed.

He looked up at the door and growled at Flin who stood smirking at us. "Sorry to ruin your.." He said and Dylan pushed me inside the bathroom and locked the door.

"Change and come out fast." I heard his voice. I looked around to search for my clothes that I wore before bathing and cursed my luck!
They were still in the forest!

Literally nothing good happens with Flin around!

"We found him. Or what's left of him" I heard Flin's voice from the other side of door. Who were they talking about?

I opened the door slightly and both of them turned to look at me. "Umm... Dylan, can you pass me my bag?" Flin smirked while Dylan smiled and passes me my bag.

I quickly looked for a dress and got dressed and opened the door. Ignoring Flin, I went and stood beside my mate. Why can't I spend some alone time with him?

"Call a meeting. I'll be there in few minutes." Dylan ordered. Here goes my alone time! Flin walked out of the room and Dylan looked at me. "I'm sorry." He said as he took steps closer to me.

I gave him a smile and hugged him. I know he has his duties and they were way more important than me.

I gave him a faint smile and turned to drink some water.  As soon as I took the bottle in my hand,  the water froze!

"What are you waiting for?" I looked at the door in shock and saw Dylan looking at me.

Quickly hiding the bottle from his sight, I gave him a smile and walked towards him.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"There's a meeting." He said. I know, I was there when he ordered Flin. "So?"

"So, being the Luna you have to be there, with me." He said making me lose my balance. Did he plan to introduce me as their Luna right now?

Weren't we going a bit too fast?

"Don't worry,  I'm not planning to tell anyone about you right now, at least not until you are ready." He said.  Now that's the kind of mate I imagined,  of course not a lycon but who cares.

I gave him a smile and took hold of his hand as he lead me outside my room and towards the meeting room. I wonder what reason will he give them for bringing me to their pack meeting?

****

We reached the meeting room and I took in a deep breath to calm my racing heart. Dylan noticed this and gave me a light peek on my lips, making a smile appear on my face.

"Don't worry. I'm here."

He opened the door and I felt like my eyes would jump out of their sockets!

There in front of us was a large table with around hundred people sitting on it. They all turned to look at us and after realizing who was at the door, everyone stood up to greet Dylan. I couldn't help but feel proud at my mate.

I turned to look at his face and found him standing calmly, as if it was all normal for him.

"Everyone, this is Eliza. My special guest. She will be there under my care." He said while looking at me and then started walking inside.

Everyone gave me strange looks and started whispering as I walked past them. "Eliza, you will sit here." Dylan pulled out a chair for me and I gladly accepted. "A gentlemen, are we?" He smirked at my comment and kissed my forehead and walked around the table to sit at the head seat.

I wonder what these people must be thinking about me? I looked around to see if I could read their faces but none of them was paying attention to me.

Was this normal for them?

"Not one of your toys?" Flin's words rang in my mind but I decided to not pay attention to him.

"So? What is this sudden meeting for?" An old man asked while others looked at Dylan for answer. Even I wanted to know.

"Rafael is dead. " He said.  A lady, probably in her 30's started crying.  She ran out of the room and even though I wanted to go and see if she was fine,  it felt like I needed to be here.

"How? " Someone asked. Dylan was quite for a moment before he spoke again.  "His heart was removed from his body.  A pack member saw his body thrown near our left border."

The whole room broke into whispers but somehow,  even in this situation what I was more worried about was my wolf.  It felt like she was growing restless for some reason.

"What's wrong? " I asked her.

"I don't know,  it's the moon,  it's calling me. " She replied. 

"What do you mean? " I asked again but slowly I was loosing control.

Eliza get out of here, as fast as you can! " She cried.  I had never seen my wolf so anxious before.

"Please hold on for 10 minutes.  If it's not over by then, I'll let you out. I promised her and she calmed down a little. 

"There's another reason behind this meeting. " I heard Dylan's voice and tried to concentrate on the meeting ahead.

"One of the warrior wolf spotted the Legendary Purple Moonlit in our territory." He said and suddenly the room was filled with whispers.

"But the Moonlits went extinct years ago. " I said.  Everyone turned to look at me for a second but then looked back at Dylan.

"Alpha, are you sure it was her?" Casy asked and Dylan nodded. "Monica chased her." Flin replied.

"She saw her near the Blue Moon Lake and tried to chase after her but she disappeared."

"That sounds familiar?"

"Who is Monica?" I asked the main question on my mind and everyone diverted their attention at me once again but my moment of attention was short lived as the doors opened and a girl who looked like Casy entered.

"I'm Monica. " she said.

I was about to say more but I was loosing control of my wolf.  I gulped harder,  tightly closed my fists but nothing seemed to be working.

"Eliza? " I heard someone call my name but my I was loosing my focus. 

I turned to look at Dylan who was still saying something but I couldn't care less.  I looked at my other side where I saw Flin sitting.  He looked at my and his face lost all its color.  "Eliza your eyes... "

He took hold of my hand and pulled me out of my chair and towards the door.  I had almost lost control of my wolf but I barely managed to run towards the exit and close to the forest.

Within seconds,  my wolf took full control as I shifted into my wolf form and launched deeper into the dark forest.
