Chapter 6

"Does it matter?" I ask and Hayes looks at me in disbelief, giving me his brotherly 'We don't keep secrets' look.

"It matters to me, in how I treat her. Is she your mate?" Hayes asks.

"She is your Luna. You will treat her how she should be treated." I say, crossing my arms over my chest.

"Merikh." He whispers low, his eyes softening and I know where his thoughts are going and I refuse to go down that memory lane with him. I refuse to go down it ever again.

"She is my mate." I say matter of fact, and he laughs, rolling his eyes.

"Mate, as in you chose her and followed through with the union to the Alpha's daughter-"

"That's not the Alpha's daughter." Percy says with a knowing smile.

"Then who the fuck is it?"

"That's Colette," Percy says, his smile even wider now. I roll my eyes because no one knows shit about what is actually happening. Hell, it was hard enough for me to believe it when I saw her.

"Who the hell is Colette?"

"She is my second chance mate..." I admit with a sigh.

"And you accepted her..." He murmurs, his eyes observing me as though he needs to gauge my reaction.

"Lycan's can't reject a second chance mate, Hayes, you know that. There was no leaving without her. I didn't have a choice," I mutter, and he nods in understanding, blowing out a puff of air.

"How did she take it?" He asks.

"She isn't aware of it..." I say with a wince, and Hayes watches me with curiosity.

"Recently rejected then..." he muses.
