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
Mallory's POV:"But Mom, I am hungry, and you do not expect me to starve. Besides, she offered her food to me," Beatrice stubbornly went to the kitchen to get her own plate and spoon, and Madam Scarlet sighed and massaged her aching head."It's okay, Madam. I am an Alpha, so I cannot get weak if I have to wait for a few minutes for you to get to the market and cook. At the pack's farmhouse, despite my pregnancy, they make us eat breakfast as lunch.""What?" Madam Scarlet's eyes widened in shock. "Are you saying the truth? I thought my husband was lying because he worked there and he said that's how they treat them.""Mmm," I sighed and rolled my eyes. "So you see, waiting for a few more minutes cannot get me sick. I am fine."Madam Scarlet sighed with relief while Beatrice got out of the kitchen and came to join me at the dining table."Can I take a seat here too on the chair? I feel like royalty as my Mom and I haven't sat on it since we normally cleaned it. It's the Alpha's dining,
Mallory's POV.Beta Dennis left the house while I went to meet Madam Scarlet at the dining table on the first floor."Wow, the meal is ready so soon. I was thinking that you have no food available?" I asked Madam Scarlet once I settled on a chair in the dining room.The dining room had ten silver chairs and a long silver dining table too. Madam Scarlet ensured to place my meal in front of the first chair on the silver dining table."Well, I made food for myself, and I wasn't expecting that you would be joining me. And since you are here, I can make another meal, but you cannot starve until I am through.""How about you?" I asked Madam Scarlet as I looked at her with concern."You're old enough to be my mother too. And I cannot be selfish to eat alone while you starve and work. Come on, let's share it," I told Madam Scarlet, but she shook her head."No, Madam. You can go ahead and eat. I will run to the market nearby and get a few groceries to make another meal," Madam Scarlet attempte
