Enzos POV
Felicity was at the nurse’s station; I could pick up the scent of her excessive use of perfume miles away.
The closer I got to her, the more fury I was feeling. She disrespected my mate and her future Luna.
I wasn’t okay with that, and I was going to make sure she knew exactly how I felt.
When she spotted me walking toward her, I saw the color draining from her face. One look into my eyes
and she knew she was in deep shit.
“Felicity,” I growled through my teeth, struggling to keep Max under control.
“Alpha…” she breathed, stepping around the nurse’s station.
The other nurses had run off, afraid of the fury that was evident in my eyes.
“What can I do for you?” She asked, straightening her posture, and batting her lashes at me.
The nerve.
“We need to talk,” I said in a low and threatening tone, stopping only inches from her. I towered over
her, so she had to look way up to meet my eyes. I saw the fear in them and the tremble in her body she
desperately tried to hide. “What you said to Lila was not okay. Did you not think I would hear about it?”
“I was only telling her the truth, Alpha. The pack deserves a better Luna. She can’t be trusted—”
“You will not speak about her like that,” I hissed. “She is my mate, Felicity. My future wife and your
future Luna. She has done nothing but help those in need; the rest of the pack adores her, and I suggest
you get in line, or you’ll find yourself without a pack.”
The threat caused her eyes to widen in shock.
“You’d make me a rogue?” She gasped. “After all my family had done for you??”
Her words struck a chord in my chest. It was Felicity’s father who brought me out of the rogue territory
and gave me the title of Alpha. Her father was a great and noble man. When my father died, he took
over as Alpha, being the only one trusted for the job at the time. He never wanted to be Alpha though

and knew the title didn’t rightfully belong to him. He was also one of the few who knew about my
existence.
The only one he trusted to become the true Alpha of the Calypso pack was me. So, he came to seek me
out and brought me to the pack. He was the one who trained me and taught me how to be a leader. I
was only 9 years old when I met him, and Felicity was 6 years old.
He was a single father to her since his wife died of an incurable disease when Felicity was only 2 years
old.
Paul and his crew had fled after my father died. But when I turned 16, they returned. He was anything
but happy and made many attempts to end my life and get me out of the way, so he could take over as
Alpha.
Felicity’s father protected me and saved my life. But at the cost of his own.
Before her father died, he made me promise to take care of Felicity and to make sure she didn’t go
down a dark path.
I’ve kept my word and cared for her like a sibling. I even allowed her to live in the packhouse; she has
her own room on the second floor and works as a nurse in the pack hospital. She even occasionally
helps the maids around the packhouse.
I never thought of her as someone who could be cruel. Until now.
“I will forever be in your father’s debt; not yours,” I growled. “I made him a promise that I would care for
you. You were only 13 years old when he died, and you had no one. But now you are 20 years old and
can care for yourself.”
She looked taken aback by my statement.
“With all due respect, Alpha, but my father didn’t bring you back from the rogue territory and make you
an Alpha, just for you to marry the very thing that nearly tore our pack apart the first time,” Felicity said,
narrowing her eyes at me. “He always told me that I would make a great Luna if given the opportunity.
He told me that my mate could very well be an Alpha. He wanted us to be together, Enzo. He wanted
me to rule the pack by your side “
“You are not my mate,” I said through gritted teeth; I was feeling that fury rising throughout me again,
but this time, she stood her ground, pressing her lips together.
“I could be your chosen mate,” she said in return, meeting my eyes.
My breathing became rash, and I knew if I didn’t walk away, I would lose control of Max. I took a deep
breath to calm my trembling body, closing my eyes as I did so.
“Alpha…” She began, but I brought my hand up, silencing her words.
I opened my eyes and peered into her sharp gaze.
“You will not disrespect my mate again, Felicity. If you do, there will be hell to pay. You will bow to your
knees in front of her and apologize for your cruelty. You will also apologize to that little girl’s mother for
the misunderstanding you nearly caused. You will show me respect as your Alpha. We will not have this
conversation again. Understood?”
Her eyes darkened and they looked glazed over. She was still staring at me, but it was almost like I
wasn’t there. It was like I was invisible to her. I wasn’t even sure if she was breathing.
Just as I was about to open my mouth to speak, she blinked a few times.
She focused her eyes on my face, and they were no longer glazed over. She looked confused for a
moment but then she said, “Understood, Alpha.”
She turned away from me and went in the direction of my mother’s room. I followed closely behind,
watching as she made her way into the room. Lila sat at my mother’s bedside, holding onto her hands
