Chapter 87

  Eero's perspective

  “What's wrong?” I got a little worried as she had never been like this.

  "Oh...N-Nothing..." Aelice snapped back, shaking her head.

  “Have you ever gone out and search for your mate, Aelice?” I inquired as I walked towards the walk-in closet.

  “No. I got no choice about that.”

  “Huh? What do you mean by that?”

  “Unless my mate is an Alpha of a powerful pack, my father will never allow me to accept the bond with my mate.” She answered honestly as I marched out of the walk-in closet.

  “You're telling me that Beta Octavio will be the one to choose your mate?!” I asked in disbelief.

  “You know what, your grace?" Aelice forced a smile at me. "Not every she-wolf gets to pick her mate on her own.”

  "But—"

  “I'll have to go. It's time I help the Alpha King to sleep.” While I was feeling bad for her situation, Aelice stood up to leave.

  “Why would you do that? You're not a serving omega. You're the beta's daughter.” I asked with incomprehension.
