Alpha Liam's POV

"When are you going to find a Luna for this pack, instead of sleeping with all these damn whores?" my mother wrinkled her nose, looking at me unimpressed.

I tried not to laugh at her using that language and instead fought to keep my face expressionless. "Mother, I have plenty of time before I need to take a mate. Is it my fault that women find me irresistible?" I teased. She harrumphed. "Liam, there is such a thing as refusing them you know. Where is your self-respect? At the end of the day, there is no substance to these girls, they merely want to use you for the title of Luna and you know that. Why sleep with them when it means nothing?" she asked with a sigh "why not find a nice girl that you do like and respect?"

"Because mother, I have yet to meet any woman who hasn't looked at me and not seen the title of Luna or the amount of wealth I possess. You know full well that nobody ever sees the real me and only wants my money or the title I can give them" I said nonchalantly.

"That's not true. Just because you were rejected once' my mother tried to argue "doesn't mean you won't meet a nice girl or be able to take a chosen mate. There are such things as second-chance mates too you know" she pointed out.

I glanced away, "All women are the same. My mate rejected me before she found out who I truly was. Once she found out my true identity, she tried to persuade me she had changed her mind. What a fake" I sneered.

"Son it pains me to see you this way. So negative when it comes to women and finding love. You know how much I loved your father" she commented wistfully "I just want the same for you."

"Father loved you too. Right until his dying breath Mother. But that kind of love is rare. You found your fated mate and both of you accepted each other" I remembered. "Your circumstances are entirely different. You didn't have to go through the pain of rejection first."

"No," she said heavily "and I wish you didn't either because I feel as though that's made such a huge impact on your life and how you regard women now. You see them as nothing more than playthings or something to distract you rather than trying to find somebody you can spend the rest of your life with. If only that girl" she scowled, looking upset "hadn't rejected you and then tried to wrangle her way back into your life, you might have turned out so differently" she added sorrowfully.

We have pregnant women, children, and elderly that all have to be protected I told her solemnly. "Father always taught me that those who are weakest need to be protected the most.
