From the moment the sun began to rise, I knew fortune was on my side. We met in my office, where Jaxon prepared me to execute the small plan I had been plotting for months.
"This powder," he began to explain while sprinkling some on me, "has the ability to create an irresistible bond between two people. The female bathed in the golden powder succumbs only to the male who has been dusted with the same flower."
It was exactly what I needed to make her stop resisting the mate bond; I would have her at my feet and, with the bond strengthened by the Blood Moon, she would accept being my Luna without protest, giving way to the second stage of my plan.
"The effect will pass if you reject her, mark her or... well, you know," he said, leaving the obvious unsaid—if I could finally make her mine.
"I don't want any wolf taking advantage of her while she's under the effects of this flower."
"Only with you will she have the proper reaction," he assured me as he continued carefully dusting me.
