Benson's POVI returned to my company to continue with the rest of my work for the day. I had already made up my mind to keep Mallory updated about the Luna Coronation.I didn't know what came over me, and I kissed Mallory. It took a lot of self-control for me not to make love to her.Recalling that I had already said that I would reject Mallory, it held me from touching her.Mallory was mine. Though I was slightly annoyed because she was pregnant by Ace, it wasn't her fault.I sighed and continued with the rest of my work for the day.Later, I made a visit to the dungeon to find out why David Paulo had absconded with the taxpayers' money.As a defaulter in my pack and committing a crime like theft, David was to be prosecuted by hanging. But because of the Luna Coronation, I declined, and told the judge to sentence him to spend six months in jail."Thank you, Alpha," David and his family thanked me, but I left the prison house and made my way back to my car.As I got back into my car,
Mallory's POVAfter Alpha Benson left the room, I went to wear my dress and I put on a brown dress."Calm down, Mallory. Don't think about the kiss," I encouraged myself. As the taste of Alpha Benson's lips still lingered in my mouth.I was embarrassed after Beatrice had spotted Alpha Benson and me kissing, and I didn't want to leave the room to face her.A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts, and I replied, "Come in."Beatrice came into the room and she spoke to me, "Breakfast is ready, Mallory."I lowered my head and avoided meeting Beatrice's gaze."I am not hungry," I told her, and she said, "Alpha Benson insists that you join him downstairs for breakfast.""What! Is Alpha Benson still there? Oh no! I thought he had already left the house," I replied, and Beatrice smiled and shook her head."He is waiting for you. Hurry."I gulped and immediately exited the room with Beatrice as we went downstairs together.On getting to the first floor, I was stunned to see Alpha Benson sea
Mallory's POV:"Um, good morning. When did you arrive?" I asked Alpha Benson, and he looked at me and replied, "A few minutes ago. Didn't you hear the sound of my car?"I frowned and shook my head, as I didn't want him to know that I had been thinking about his decision to choose a new mate."I didn't hear the sound of your car," I honestly replied as I saw him frown."What are you thinking about?" Alpha Benson asked as he drew near me.However, I took some steps backward as he came next to me."Can you give me some privacy? I would like to change out of this towel and wear my dress?" I asked him, as there was no way that I would change out of the towel in his presence.Alpha Benson's black eyes shifted to look away from my towel that was firmly wrapped around my chest. As I clutched the edges and hem of the towel.The towel was short, and I could feel Alpha Benson's eyes travel from my legs and up to my face.He gulped as my eyes met his, and he replied, "Fine. I came here particular
Mallory's POVThe next morning, I woke up and felt the ray of sunlight on my face. I felt so refreshed as I rose from the bed and carefully got down from it.The sound of the knocking interrupted my thoughts, and I went over to the door to find out who was there."Good morning, Mallory," it was Beatrice, and she held a bucket of water in her hand and also a mopping stick. She was dressed in a white nightdress like the previous night, and she had a bright smile on her face."Morning. What's making you blush this morning?" I asked her as I made way for her to come into the room."Oh, you are just waking up from sleep. This is after 9 am. Didn't you hear the sound of the town crier this morning as early as 6 am?" Beatrice asked, and my eyes went wide in surprise."No. Do you people have a town crier in this pack? I thought it's only in the village that town criers exist?" I asked, and Beatrice laughed."Yes, you're right. But you know, Alpha Benson still does things in the ancient ways s
Mallory's POV; I had fallen asleep after my dinner with Madam Scarlet and her daughter, Beatrice Cole ended. Though they were curious about me and wondering about my alpha power, I didn't want to scare them. A knock on my room door startled me. I was in the master's bedroom, enjoying this vast white bed. The plush mattress was so soothing, and it made me feel warm. I didn't want to wake up from this dream, as I was in paradise. I saw myself donning a lovely white dress in my dream, and dancing with Alpha Benson on a stage. I couldn't believe how handsome Alpha Benson appeared in my dream, as he smiled at me genuinely. It was a total contrast to how he glared at me when I looked at his face, and I didn't want to wake up from this beautiful dream. But then, the knocking on the door persisted, and I got off the bed, grumbling because I hated for my sleep to be disturbed. It reminded me of my stepmother, Luna Lily, and I wondered what she was up to now in my father's pack, that
**Alpha Benson's POV**Night had fallen, and I went into my bathroom to have a bath. Once I finished my bath, I got out, wrapped a white towel around my waist, and a sound at my room door caught my attention."Who is there?" I asked, my voice loud and firm.The room door clicked open, and Emma poked her head into my room."Alpha, I came to check on you. The council of elders' chairman is here to see you," Emma replied, her eyes fixed on my chest as water streamed down my body.I could see the desire clearly in her eyes."Leave and do not come in here again unless I send for you," I dismissed her with a firm voice, and she gulped and left.I went into my closet, grabbed a white shirt, and donned it. I picked up a pair of black trousers too. After I was through dressing, I exited my room and put on my slippers as I went downstairs to meet the council of elders' chairman.Even though I was the alpha of this pack, we had council meetings with other elderly men who oversaw the pack, but th
