Jedidiah

It has been a week since Leaves took over Rhen's body. The potion has been made and now it is just a matter of time. I have been over the training and getting the warriors ready. We need to be careful and strategic when we attack.

We are going straight into the lion's den, that country is full of rogues. We have gathered thousands of warriors and sent some undercover in Argentina. Ever since Rehn was overtaken I have thought about her. Taking her out on a date, mating with her, spending my life with her. We were in a rush to find her, we only had 6 months before Rhen would no longer be. Alaric was constantly pacing wanting to be with my mate.

Currently, I was sitting outside we have just finished training for the day. I had my shirt off from sweating so much and one of the trainees named Ruth came and sat next to me.

"Hey Jedidiah, training went great today. I'm sorry to hear about your mate."

She would be considered a pretty girl, she had curly black hair and bright green eyes. But she was nothing compared to my Rhen. No one would ever be compared to my Rhen.

"Thanks." I huffed and leaned back.

"I lost my mate some years ago. I miss him every day. He was decapitated and I was home that night because I was too ill to fight. I could have protected him, but. Anyways, I am here for you. I am a friend if you need one I get what you are going through." She put her hand on my back and rubbed it.

"We are going to find your mate." She stood up and walked away. Oh, I hope so.

I walked into the castle and walked to the potions room where I saw Kailani.

"How is the potion coming along?" I asked her.

"It is going on pretty well. Just one more week it will be done." I nodded at her and crouched down to see it. It was in this weird container and bubbling.

"Have you spoken with the alpha recently?" She asked me. She was grabbing some herbs and dropped it in the mixture.

"I have a meeting with him today, in thirty minutes. I just wanted to check in on you. But I better get going I need to shower."

I hugged her and walked up to my room. I stripped fully and got into the shower. Once I was out I changed into a pair of black skinny jeans and a dark green T-shirt. I put on a pair of black Adidas. Before I went to go to the meeting I walked into Rhen's room. It still smells like her and I took a deep breath.

I missed her.

Part of me fears that I am not ever going to see her again. But Alaric was determined to get out mate back.

I left the room and headed to the conference room where everyone was meeting. I stood in the back and waited for the room to fill up with the higher-ranking Lycans and werewolves.

"Alright everyone, we have news from our undercover agents."

Everyone quieted down and pulled out files that were just passed out. I had one and opened it, there were pictures of Rhen and Alexander together. They were walking around and holding hands. A wave of anger raised inside me and I growled lowly.

But I had to remember that it wasn't Rhen it was Leaves. I searched through the file more and found a map of the territory. Parts of the territory weren't covered by warriors. Places for us to hide when we make it on, other information like.

"As you can see they have gathered a lot of information with it just being a week. Now that you all have the map of the land and now you can start making tactical plans. There is a neighboring territory near the territory line of Argentina which is in Uraguay. Of course, that will be a long trip and we need to leave as soon as the potion is made. Pack enough to carry but enough to get you by for what might be a very long tactical mission. We need to be careful and strategic and with the help of the pack in Uraguay, we will have enough manpower. As you can see Leaves has also reconnected with Alexander. This could be a problem if we don't act soon people. Get your household in order! We are leaving in a week. Understand?"

Everyone nodded and closed their files.

"Dismissed." People started standing and walking out, I was too before Alpha Damon called me and told me to stop.

"Jedidiah I know this is hard for you but I need to know you can handle this. I heard you growling." Alpha Damon said.

"Yes, sir. I apologize, seeing Rhen and Alexander triggered me a little bit, but I had to remind myself that it wasn't her but Leaves." I explained to him.

"Good, I'm glad. I miss her too. And we will get her back." He shook my hand and walked out. A lot of people have been saying that and part of me is starting to believe it's not true.

Leaves

This week with Alexander has been pure bliss and I have loved every minute of it. I was currently laying in bed with him watching a movie. We haven't had sex yet unfortunately and my sex drive was high. Yet Alexander didn't seem to care. He kept saying he wanted to be a gentleman and take things slow.

"So Leaves, we have some business we need to attend to. I have had word from my guards that your pack has been sneaking around my territory." I looked up at him and scrunched my eyebrows.

"How did they even know I was here?" I said, mainly to myself.

"Do you think that an elder told them about our past?" I sat up and looked down at him. I was more worried than he was. He just laid there with his arm resting behind his head with his hair messy, which I loved.

"Love, calm down. No one is getting near us. I have the best guards and warriors in the world okay? And even then you are the Moon goddess' sister. The only way you can be killed is by Athena. And she isn't even here so don't worry. Now lay back down." I listened to him and lay down. He was right there is no way Athena was here and no one can kill me.

"We do however need to set up a meeting because we need to get these spies under control. But that is for another day, and I would love for you to join." I looked up at him and smiled.

"Of course." He started to lean in and our lips connected. I could never get used to the feeling of our lips together. We were in sync, in everything we did together.

He licked my bottom lip for access which I easily granted. I could feel his hands travel up and down my thighs pulling me closer to him. Things slowly started to heat up but we were interrupted by a knock. Alexander pulled away and walked towards the door.

"Wait!" He yelled and continued kissing me.

"Looks like we need to handle business. Come let's get dressed."
