“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.

A cold shiver ran down my spine at his words, but then I remembered that he had no idea if Levi was in the pack or not. "I don't think you would dare come into the Blue Moon pack and kill one of their own members, Alpha Alonso." I mocked him.

I expected him to get irritated or angry and threaten me, but the line was quiet when I heard his laughter. "I know he is not in the blue moon pack right now, darling. I have my men watching his every move at this human town." he asserted when I felt the air get stuck in my throat. "Now, give me a reply to that email within two hours, or you might just see your mate in a casket." with those words, the line was discontinued while I blankly stared at the wall.

I have no idea why Elijah was suddenly obsessed with my presence, but this only suggests that nothing good would come out of this party. I placed my phone back on my desk and opened my email.
