I needed no one to tell me that whoever would be revealed behind that crowd was the Alpha. I expected to see an elderly man with regalia and a crown on his head, but I came face to face with a monstrous younger man with a remarkable look but eyes that burned with fury. I was intimidated for a split

"I hope you recognize your mate soon," I said in a hoarse voice and looked away from him. "We can always seek help," I said, plucking the healing herbs around us. I rubbed them between my palms until they produced juices, and then I turned to face him. "If you let me put this on you, it heals faster
