Chapter 22. The First Step

What made him change his mind? I was having a hard time thinking of ways just to be in his favor. To seduce him and make him fall for me so that I can use his army of wolves against the South. I was full of disbelief as I looked into his amused eyes watching me. Is he going to be like this every day? He is definitely in a good mood and I could not believe that he is even considering making me his mate.

"Mate? As what I have learned, mates are bestowed by your Moon Goddess isn't it?"

His upper lip moves upward in a dry amusement.

"That is true, however, I am Alpha and I don't have to wait for my chosen mate if there is any. I could take a woman of my choosing and make her my mate."

His eyes followed my every move as I looked away pretending not to get affected by his body leaning towards me. I could feel the heat of his gaze and his body like a magnet drawing me near. It feels suffocating to have him around even if we are at an open space like his balcony.
