Aziza’s P.O.V. I send Harlyn a text to call me as soon as she can, I know that we can’t waste anytime on this matter and she is the only one I know that will be able to proof his innocence. I don’t even have time to put my phone down as it starts ringing and I answer with “You don’t waste time, do you?” Harlyn laughs and tells me that she had just gotten of the phone with her Sister. I tell her what is going on and she tells me that Alpha Ewan can expect her the next morning. We talk about my investigation when she suddenly asks “Is Ragnar still hot as hell and unmated?” I chuckle at her words and tell her that he is still unmated, I don’t respond to her remark on him being hot as hell. She picks up on it thou and asks if I have the hots for the guy. “No, you can have him, Harlyn. Even though I doubt you want to, after all I doubt you would give up your career for your Mate, chosen or fated.” She tells me that I am correct, but wants to know what I mean by it. “He said that he expects his Mate to give up her career to take care of him and their Pups.” I hear her Lycan growl and I hear anger in her voice as she says “That is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. Next time I see him I will kick his ass.” She tells me that she will kick his ass and then she will just walk away, no explanation or anything of that kind. He can try to figure it out on his own. We talk about an hour before I tell her that I need to get some sleep or I will be able to apply for the job of one of Snowwhite’s seven dwarfs. We are still laughing as we say our goodbyes and I quickly get ready for bed. As I exit the bathroom, I see that someone is standing in front of my door and I quietly make my way over to the door. I pull it open and Ragnar tumbles in to my room. “What the hell, Ragnar.” I yell as I jump back. He gets up as I am staring at him and I can see that his Lycan is trying to gain control. It is plain to see that both of them are struggling to get control over the other and for a moment I think about linking one of the others. I don’t get the chance as his Lycan wins the struggle and pushes forward, he slowly walks towards me. I am amazed by the sight of his Lycan’s presence and for some reason I don’t feel any fear. “What is going on? Why are the two of you fighting?” I ask his Lycan and he cocks his head as he slowly comes to a stop. I can see that they are struggling again for control and I don’t think I have ever witnessed something like this before. I walk over to the armchair in front of the window and sit down in it as I am watching Ragnar and his Lycan struggle, I can tell that they are arguing with one and other. I never inquire after the name of a Lycan or a Werewolf, but in this case I am glad that Gunnar told me the names of their Lycans. “Donny, Ragnar. I don’t know what is going on, but one of you better talk to me or I am going to link Gunnar.” His head snaps towards me and I see that Donny is slowly backing down. Ragnar sits down in the other armchair next to me, he is slowly breathing in and out and I give him time to settle down. “I am sorry, Aziza. I have been fighting Donny from the first time we saw you and I have no idea what is wrong with him. I don’t think he has any idea as to what is going on. Do you remember my phone call with my Mother the other day?” He asks me and I nod my head. “My Mother has a Sister, Vivyanna, and she is a Council-member. Before she joined the Council, she taught History in our Pack for decades and she had been invited to study the Council’s Archive.” He tells me that she had enjoyed her time there, finding answers to questions she had had for years. Vivyanna had found files on a research that had taken decades and it had been a discussion point between the Sisters for years. As he explains the research to me, I remember I had read a part of it during my studies at the Academy and I remember that Jenny and I had laughed our ass off. “My Aunt thinks that they might have been right in their conclusion, she met Prince Xandros and most of the results of the research applies to them. They are going to wait for the Full Moon to be sure, but my Aunt is convinced that he is her Mate.” He says. Ragnar’s P.O.V. I watch Aziza as I explain what the phone call had been about and when I mention the research I see a twinkle in her eyes. I actually called Aunt Vivyanna to find out more and it had left me stunned. She told me what had happened after she had read the file on Tayla and it was Donny that pointed out that Aziza did a similar thing for us. We argued about it and eventually Donny had gained almost all control. That is why we ended up in front of her bedroom and Donny handed back control after I promised I would tell her the truth. “Ragnar, I read a part of those files and only a small percentage of the Lycans and Werewolves involved were able to confirm their suspicions. It is nothing more than a suspicion, only the Full Moon can tell us if someone is our Mate and nothing else.” She looks so confident as she speaks and for a moment I wonder if I should just walk out. “Aziza, I promised Donny that I would tell you the truth, so here it is. I called Vivyanna to ask her about it and what she told me is what caused me and Donny to argue.The research states that all the couples that ended up as Mates, experienced the same things before the Full Moon as they did after the Full Moon. There was a difference however, before the Full Moon is was not as strong as after the Full Moon. They felt a very strong attraction to one and other, the males were really protective and possessive. Those are not the things that convinced Vivyanna, it was the fact that Xandros was able to do something only a Mate is supposed to be capable off and that is calm her down by putting his hand on her shoulder after she read the file on Tayla.” I look at her and that is when it hits me, Aziza had been able to calm me down. “Finally. It took you long enough.” Donny growls in my head and he pushes forward. “Aziza, you have done the same for us. I don’t know why but I hate being away from you, I hate it when I am not there when you get upset and when I am there all I want to do is wrap my arms around you.” Donny says. Aziza looks at the floor as I can see her arguing with her Wolf, I know I have to let her decide for herself and I know that I will hate every minute of waiting. When I talked to Vivyanna, she knew something was up and it didn’t take long before I told her everything. She asked me to say the first thing that came to mind on her questions. The way her mind works was my answer when she asked what made Aziza so special. When she asked me what made me interested in her, I immediately said the way she cares for the people around her. She asked me a few more questions and then she starts laughing. Vivyanna told me that she had been afraid that my interest in Aziza had just been one of lust, but with my answers I had proved that I saw Aziza as a person and not as an object.
