"Seline, you can't be serious." "Astra is not around, you can't keep waiting for her." "What gave you the audacity to walk into my room, Seline?" Izan's rut was near but Astra was not. The Alpha had been planning on chaining himself up until his rut was over. Currently, he was in his study trying to finish up on some paperwork before he asked Adam and Dre to help him with his chains. Honestly, the alpha didn't expect Seline Knox, the same lady who challenged his mate to walk into his study half-naked and producing seductive pheromones. The female was dressed in nothing but lingerie and a dress shirt. She took off the shirt so the male could feast his eyes on her and Izan's musky scent filled the air as he groaned. He was trying his best to resist her but the female in front of him was undoubtedly sexy and he in rut was not thinking clearly. He wanted to chase her out but at the same time, he wanted to claim her, needed to claim her. As an alpha in rut, his number one priority rig

Vince smiled, showing a perfect set of teeth. "Halley?" Benji looked at Astra and frowned. The female wasn't confused, just surprised. "Hmmm?" She looked away from the second in command to her friend. "You know him?" "Not personally," she murmured. "She almost did," Vince replied with a smirk. "Let's talk about you..." He looked at Benji's behind then his chest before continuing, "nice ass, big titties, good enough." He shrugged. "What in the world are you talking about?" Benji was perplexed. "Well, amare, I think y–" "Do you call everyone that?" Astra spoke acidly. "Only my beloved who I thought was you." Vince winked at her before turning back to the male. "Ever heard of vam-wait, humans have books about us and I'm sure you've read something about us. You should see what they write about your kind, they think you're a bunch of nice wild dogs." Vince cackled. "Stop talking," Astra growled. "Did you just-?" Benji breathed in her direction before his eyes caught the girl on

"This is not a great idea." "Why not?" "Firstly, look at your belly. Secondly, how do you think Izan will feel when your second chance mate appears in his pack?" "He's not my mate." Astra rolled her eyes. "The man reeks of you and your unborn recognizes him as the father. What werewolf wouldn't think he's your mate?" Dior scoffed as he helped Mimi pack. He had gone to the market the following day to get Mimi some clothes and other essentials. Well, you see Mimi was going to meet her other mate, was going to live with them actually. Yes, she was leaving Ys to go live in the werewolf world with Dior convincing her he would let their Alpha turn her into one of them and they would all be happy. Mimi was an orphan, born and bred in her father's brother's house in Vineta and managing to escape to Ys a few days after she clocked nineteen. She was lucky to have found Sir Egan who gave her a place to stay. While she was grateful for that, his son was a creep and Mimi had to lock herself

To her, her life had become hell. Why did she believe him? They hadn't even known each other for a week and he told her some words which she didn't hesitate to believe. Even if he was sincere about her, she shouldn't have assumed that he also would, and now here she was, crying and regretting her decision as he tried to console her. "Miracle, I didn't know he would be like that–" "That's not my name!" She yelled. "At least he doesn't think I am. You told me he would love me, you told me he was waiting for me but you lied. He hates me." "That's not true–" Dior began but was stopped again. "He said it himself. He never thought I was real, thought it was all your imagination. I should have just stayed in Ys. At least, I wouldn't be aware of my feelings if I was under compulsion or I should have gone with Benj–" Dior growled, his hot breath fanning her tear-stained face. "Don't ever repeat that again, you belong with Andre and me. He's just a bit confused but you-we'll help him out.

"Izan, you're going mad!" "Just listen to yourself, you banished your friend! And the worst part replacing his position with her. She's a luna, not a delta!" Top epsilon Andre yelled in the Alpha's face. For days, Astra ignored him. She knew what Izan was trying to do when he started buying things for the unborn pups, checking up on her when she was asleep, and leaving before she woke up. The Alpha didn't think Astra cared that much about him or as much as he wanted her to care, he thought she would forget about the whole incident after a while. He was wrong!Women don't forget, especially one that was starting to fall in love with the father of her pups. Dre opened the living room door and met Astra sitting at the dining table. "Luna," he bowed."Top epsilon," she mock bowed in return. He looked at her and smirked."Where is he?" She asked out of curiosity and the top epsilon understood what she meant. Although they were all aware of the malice going on between the couple, the
