Not Your Mate
"Why, Elara?! Why?! I love you so much! How could you turn against me?!"
"Thaddeus, how dare you take her from me! I'll kill you!"
Thaddeus simply gave the other patrolmen another look, and they dragged Orion away onto the podium, where the pack alphas sentenced him to exile for his gruesome murder of a fellow werewolf.
He was hence injected with silver before he was expelled from the pack, though his fate was sealed considering the list of enemies he had made.
Once Orion was gone, Thaddeus turned to me again, once again holding up the bone ring as he asked mildly, "May I have the honor of your hand, my mate?"
