Contractually Yours, Alpha by Giftemmy

Chapter Two Hundred and Seven

"You're jealous, aren't you?"

"Why wouldn't I be? Sure, she might be a good person, but let's not forget that you two used to have sex. I have every right to feel insecure, especially with the way she kept looking at you..." Kaida trailed off.

I stepped up to the platform, and the hall instantly fell silent.

"I want to welcome everyone to the Nightshade Pack's Annual Mate Ball. And of course, congratulations to those who've found their... mates."

The pack applauded.
