Chapter 5

The question took Charles unawares. He felt the mate bond and it was very strong but he was still able to fight it. Therefore, he did not doubt that Clara would do the same if they were not paired by the moon goddess.

“She would just do the same thing I did. Reject him.”

“And

you are certain that she would?” Alpha Clinton did not want any more drama. Everything had to be settled here and now because after making the announcement, he knew that he would never go back on his word.

“Most assuringly.” Charles responded confidently, making it easy for Alpha Clinton. If Charles had decided to go and apologize to Rowena, he would have held back but now, everything was settled.

“I don’t think we have a problem then. I will announce Jaxon as the Alpha first thing tomorrow morning.”

Jaxon did not seem excited by the news, knowing that being an Alpha was more of a responsibility than honor. It was not what people thought it was but right now, he had other things to do. He rose to his feet, saying, “I will send some groceries to Alice and go for a run after.”

He was rudely interrupted by Charles. “Look, big brother, are you sure you are doing the right thing? I mean there are a lot of beautiful girls from dignified homes, though I already have the prettiest but I mean…”

“Just stop it if you don’t have anything tangible to say,” Jaxon shut him up, stood up, and left. He could not understand how Charles could be like this. He used to be kind to all pack members but was it all a mere façade?
