Most of the guests were already leaving. Alpha Celo was talking to Mateo. Natsuke and Bella were laughing with John. What was Rebeca? Goodbye, your perfume. She walks next to Alpha Cris, who decides to leave early. He says goodbye to everyone.
I pass on the information to Mat. The gold mine on Cris's land, the imprisoned daughter in love with Celo. Celo's interest in killing Cris and uniting the two packs. Part of the Colorado Wolves' lands borders Alpha Cris's lands.
It would be interesting to have an agreement so that the possible merger would not lead another pack to war. Mateo would have to be skilled at resolving the issue, avoiding a conflict or choosing the winning side. Tough decisions for an Alpha.
“With all this, I don't know if it's time now to take this trip to Japan,” my cousin pondered.
“If you want, I can go with you and take care of Natsuke,” I offered. I thanked her, but said I would think about it.
I let him go and say goodbye to his invitations. I complimented Bella on how the party was organized and went to my room, talking to Rebeca.
Before I went upstairs, Mayara asked permission to speak. “Tell me what you want, without beating around the bush.”
“I… I think I need to thank you for your harsh words. I’m sorry, and I’ve really thought about it. I’ll try to change my ways. Thank you.”
I nodded. She left.
I got to my room, taking off my tie and suit. The door was locked. Damn! I was tired and out of patience.
I knocked and she didn’t open. I smelled a different scent. Was there someone like her there? I forced the door and went in.
Celo’s beta, Rodrigo, was there with Rebeca, in my room? - Explain yourself!
“I… well, she found me, I just accepted.” The guy left quietly. I just looked at her. Her gaze dropped to the floor.
"I was getting to know the plan. He was going to tell me about the plan to finish off Alpha Cris and get the girl..."
I already know, I don't need to sleep with anyone to get information.
Now can we solve our problem? - My eyes were black, my wolf wanting to come out and I was at the limit of control. What did she want? Me to punish her? For what?
I grabbed her by the chin and pinned her to the wall with my other hand.
"You! What do you want? Do you see what you're doing? Don't you want me as a mate? Don't you feel anything for me? Because I smell your emotion when you see me, but it seems like your body wants one thing and your head wants another? And I ask you, Rebeca Florença, what does your heart want?"
She looked at me with sweet eyes like a doe, about to be slaughtered. But I didn't demand her submission. I counted to three, breathing deeply to get excited and jumped off the balcony, evolving and releasing my wolf.
I'm not going to sleep with her. The forest seemed safer to me than that woman's temperament.
I ran, I ran a lot, releasing all my tension. I was starting to get tired when a group of border patrol asked me if everything was okay.
I said I needed to run and offer to help whoever came to subdue them. It was 6 in the morning and I soon saw Nina and another wolf arriving.
She greeted me and I offered to help.
"Nina, I'd like to take a look at the border of the lands with those of Alpha Cris's pack, could you show me?"
"Sure, Alpha, let's go. Everything is calm from the reports I've received. We almost never go there because it's well guarded by the Crescent Moon pack patrol."
We ran a little and soon we could see that it was almost a natural division made by the river. A stretch of low-lying land of a different color formed the border, the river divided the lands almost naturally. From the top, where we could already see the stretch and also on the other bank there was a sentry post of the neighboring pack.
"Come on, I think you've already had your coffee, I'm hungry and tired now. It was quite a night."
"Alpha, may I make a comment?", Nina lowered her golden brown eyes. She was very beautiful, with long, wavy brown hair.
"Yes, Nina, speak up."
"What you told Mayara about pushing away your destined mate while dating other wolves, is that true?"
"Nina, I can say that's what I believe. Of course we know that not everyone provides a way to find their mate, but the goddess knows what she wants deep down in our hearts and if we really want our soulmate, then we either wait or we should just have someone we trust and like to be able to find them."
She let a tear escape. And I ran my hand over her face to dry it.
"Well, if you're sorry and are going to be a good girl who's looking for a mate, she's also selling you now. I know she'll soon give you someone, even if it's a second chance purchase or a chosen one who deserves your love." I was taken by surprise with a hug around my waist. "Thank you, Alpha. I, well, I think I met my mate yesterday, but I was scared." "Scared? Isn't that all you've ever wanted?" She looked at me with Her bright eyes reminded me a lot of my confusion, Rebeca. "Yes. But I had a horrible fear that I wasn't good enough for him, that when he got to know me better he wouldn't find me worthy of him, that suddenly he would change my whole life and I would become dependent on him, that he would be accessible to everything I did or everything I liked... the end of my freedom... I ran away from him, he left with Alpha Cris, I would have to change packs if he accepted me, wouldn't I?" She started to cry. I saw fear in her eyes.
Was that what Rebeca felt? Was he still confused about the change from single to married life?"
"Everything will be fine. If the goddess blessed you, you must trust her. It's hard for him too. Because if you accept him, you will have that poor wolf's heart in your hand too. It's not because we're males that we don't also feel this fear of giving ourselves to someone, we just don't say it, because we need to appear strong so you feel safe.”
"Oh, I never imagined that, Alpha Noah. Thank you. I swear I'll be really nice to Bella, I think she's beautiful!"
"Oh, that's good. I'm counting on you and Mayara. Bella is very special to me. I'll see this as a personal favor."
She agreed, I thought it was time for me to leave there and go have some breakfast. And wake someone up for a good chat.
