Alpha Benson's POV:When I entered my room, I went to place my briefcase in my private study, then I stepped out to undress. Recalling how happy Mallory was when I gave her the barbecue. "Alpha, are you going to choose another woman aside from our Mate?" Odin asked, as he became restless after hearing my mother's statement that the pack members will not approve of me choosing Mallory as my mate."Do not worry, Odin. My heart knows what it wants, and I will choose the rightful Luna," I said, but Odin didn't trust my judgment either."I know you do not like Mallory because she is pregnant. But you cannot cause her pain at this time," Odin reminded me about the fact that Mallory was pregnant with Ace's children."I know. I have heard you," I shut Odin out and went into my bathroom.I undressed and stood under the shower to bathe.Once I was done bathing, I got out of my bathroom, and tied a white towel around my waist. But I was stunned to see Emma in my room.Emma sat on my bed, gazing
Malfoy's POV:I couldn't believe that Alpha Benson had come all the way here to his house to give me this barbecue. Seriously, I could not understand why he was doing this?First, he had brought me to his new house, forgetting that he was going to choose a new mate?Secondly, he had allowed me to use any room of my choice, and he even had the audacity to kiss me.Now, he was indirectly bringing me a gift, and he said that I should take it as my gift for being his mate."I told you that Alpha Benson is ours," my wolf purred in my head, but I rolled my eyes at that, after I went back into the living room.Madam Scarlet and her daughter Beatrice were present, and they smiled at me."Did you need anything, Mallory?" Madam Scarlet asked, her voice gentle."No. Actually, Alpha Benson brought this barbecue for us to share. Do you care to join me?" I asked Madam Scarlet and her daughter.Their eyes widened, and they refused, "No. It's for you alone. You should eat it. It's good for you and t
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
