**Aldo Sorel Sr. (POV): **

The moment I walked inside of the building I smelled it. The scent of strawberries and marshmallows. My wolf woke from his nap. He has been happily sleeping since we went running with Aldo and his wolf. When the bag was taken off my head I saw where the smell was coming from. Standing like a force of nature is a woman. She is about five, five, pale-skinned, with blue eyes, and short red hair. Hair I would love to run my fingers through. 

“Who the hell are you?”, she asked.  

I just stared at her. I am not sure if the look of confusion on her face is because of that I am not the man she is expecting to see, or I am not the mate she is expecting. For a moment she had a look of awe on her face, then it changed back to serious. 

“I asked again who are you?”, she asked with a cute pissed-off look. 

“My name is Alpha Aldo Sorel Sr.”, I said. 

Then I remember I need to give the signal. I howled the signal. I hear them running to the building. The woman did not even have a chance to run. I ripped the handcuffs off my wrist and stood up. The woman was shocked, and I was shocked at her answer when Michael asked what is her name. She is a firecracker I smiled internally. 

My heart ached for her after listening to her story. I know of Acca he was an asshole. But he did do something right in his life. He saved a woman and made her his. And she was grateful for it. However, a bit of jealousy hits me just the thought of her being married to Acca. Her refusal to tell us her name pissed me off. 

“I do not believe in hitting a woman. But I will slap a bitch”, I said. 

I never hit a woman out of anger unless she is getting punished. And I can guarantee she was on the verge of cumming when I did. Everyone seems shocked by my statement even my son. But when I told him that statement came from his mother. She was a bitch alright. In the bedroom was the only time I called her that. And she loved it every time. 

Margin, her name makes my wolf purr for some reason. The only other woman that was able to do that was Aldo’s mom. She continues to say her piece not giving a fuck who she offends. Damn, she will make a great Luna. My only worry is that the kings and queen might see her boldness as disrespect and punish her harshly. 

I followed the guards as they took her to the castle to be placed in the dungeon. I picked the cleanest one, then I asked someone to clean it then put a comfortable bed in it. All while she watched and the guard held on to her. I wanted to rip his head off. Her eyes followed my movements as I left to go get her some eat. When I came back she was already in the cell sitting on the bed. 

“Would you like some tea?”, I asked her. 

“Yes, only if it is green tea with honey no sugar”, she said and paused. That is exactly how Torta likes her tea. 

“That is the best way to have tea”, I said with a smile.

I used the key the guard gave me and walked into the cell. In the corner are a table and chair which I sat at. She walked to the table and sat across from me. I passed her the cup of tea and she smiled at me.  

“So, what's your deal?’, she asked me. 

“My deal?”, I asked confused. 

“Yeah”, she said. 

“Okay, my name is Alpha Aldo Sorel, like I said earlier. I am single. My son and heir are mated to the king's sister. And he is related to the queen by blood. Which makes him a Duke”, I said. 

“How old are you?”, she asked  

“Two hundred and you?”, I said. 

“Damn, you are old. I am twenty-two”, she whispered. 

“Old and well-seasoned”, I said with a grin. 

“Right”, she said shaking her head. 

“How long were you married? If you don’t like me asking”, I said. 

“I married Acca when I was seventeen. When he found me hanging on to life, I turned sixteen two months before”, she said. 

“So, five years of marriage. Andy pups?”, I had to ask. 

“No, there was severe damage done to me. As a result, I can't have pups”, she said sadly. 

“She belongs to us”, Solar my wolf said. 

“What do you mean she belongs to us?”, I asked confused. 

“MATE!”, he howled. 

“Judging by the look on your face. Your wolf and mine just said the same thing”, Margin said. 

“What's your wolf name?", I asked. 

“Her name is Luna”, she said. 

“Beautiful name for my Luna”, Solar said wagging his tail. 

“My wolf's name is Solar”, I said with pride. 

“So, what happens now?”, she asked. 

“I will ask the queen to release you in my care. But only if you are alright with that", I said. 

“And where do you live?”, she asked. 

“Canada”, I said with a smile. 

“If you are willing to have me I am willing to be yours”, she said with a smile. 

"I am more than willing to have your sweetness", I said with a huge smile.  

She is so young and the world has been harsh on her. If Rati allows me to take her I will make sure she knows all of the good the world has to offer her. I never thought in a million years the moon Goddess would bless me with a second chance mate. A mate that reminds me so much of my Torta. 

"What makes you think they will let me go? I did commit treason", she said.

"And I am glad you did. Because if you haven't I would not have found you", I said smiling.

"That's cute but that doesn't answer my question", she said.

"Because we are family and family forgives each other. And besides they know I know how to punish you", I said then winked at her.
