“You want to know about the mate bond we share?” His words stopped me midway as I turned around to face him. I didn’t say a word as I felt my heart palpitate in anticipation. 

“Beta Perez, I…” Before I could speak, he continued. 

“I have decided to never let a woman into my life, Miss. James. I have learned long back that they only serve as a distraction. Why would I need a mate if I could have any women I want? Am I right, Miss. James?” He asked me as I felt my eyes burn, but I held back my tears. 

“A mate is your better half, Beta Perez.” I choked out the words when he let out a humorless laugh. 

“According to me, you need a mate to satisfy your needs and maybe an heir in the long run. I think I can buy that with some money, Miss. James.” 

“Don’t you feel the mate bond, Beta Perez?” I asked him, but he didn’t answer.

“I would have at least considered mating with you if you held a rank, Miss. James. But I don’t think I want a woman who is a nobody with a lonely mother and a runaway father.” I felt my chest rise and fall in anger while something broke within me. A tense silence engulfed us as we stared at one another. 

Join us in this journey where Aurora and Zander find love again as sparks ignite between them and desire crackles in the air, the tension builds, pushing them closer together. Will Zander’s feelings toward the mate bond transform as he grapples with the chemistry between them, or will fear of another heartbreak drive him to reject her? The future is uncertain, but one thing is clear: their destinies are intertwined in ways they never anticipated.

"Levi?" Elijah asked me, sounding confused. And at that moment, I saw Adrian slip into the room.

"Yes, the warrior who is assigned to train me. He was showing me around the pack borders." I told him when Elijah raised a questioning eyebrow at me.

"Why do you even bother knowing about their border when you are going to come back to our pack and be my Luna?" Elijah asked me in a sickly sweet voice, for anyone who doesn't know him well, they would have thought that he was concerned for my welfare, but I was able to see through his facade. He was boiling in anger right now, and he trying his best to not burst out.

A sarcastic smile formed on my face as I looked him in the eye. "I need to know the ins and outs of this pack, I am going to spend the rest of my life here, am I right, Alpha Alonso?" I asked him in a mocking tone.
