The King's brows raised in a couple of seconds as he questioned him, maintaining his temper. "Yeah, of course. I am the strongest in my past life, so it's normal to have pride," Zaykee answered while glaring at his eyes, didn't feel his heavy pressure, but if he is just a normal person, his face will be against the ground.

“If you leave this ceremony, the Red Moon Pack will no longer cooperate with you!” “I will never consider our deal fulfilled,” Norton growled. “You will lose all the support of the other alphas if you go down this road.
