“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.

Scarlet shivered like a leaf in my hand as I glared at her. The more I look at her, the angrier I get. I just couldn't believe how I got fooled by this bitch. Her face was gradually turning blue, and her struggles became weak. "Let her go. We might kill her." my wolf urged me, and only then did I snap out of my murderous thoughts as I dropped her onto the floor.

She gasped like a fish out of water, trying to fill her lungs with all the oxygen she could get. "This engagement is not for you," I started when she finally looked up at me. Tears had smeared her makeup, making her look hideous.

"Elijah, but the invitation…" she wheezed out as I rolled my eyes.

"There is going to be a party in this pack. But it is going to be between Aurora and I." I told her when she shook her head. She has done a lot of things to be my whore, but I am the alpha of this pack, and I am more clever than her.
