ALEXANDER’S POV
Kaida Dawn was different.
She was different from any other woman I had ever had in my bed.
I had discovered she was my mate four years ago, but unlike many other werewolves, the thought of having mates never did intrigue me. I didn’t want to be loyal to anyone; I didn’t want a family, and that’s why I stayed away.
And then Alpha Trent Dawn had come to me with his proposal. He was one of the few people in my good books; I knew what he had done for this pack, and I was aware that we owed him a favor. But I did find it strange; He had a Beta, going by the name Aric. Since he had no male children, the Beta could’ve taken over, and Kaida could’ve mated him instead. But for some reason… he didn’t hand the pack to his Beta.
I had spotted her the moment she walked into the feast. How couldn’t I? Her scent was all over the place. My wolf inside didn’t like the Beta being so close to her, or the fact that they had slept in the very same room, but I reined him in. What happened before I claimed her as mine was none of my business.
She wore a black dress, the only color I had ever seen her in among the few pictures I’d seen of her; perhaps the colour Black was her favorite. She had a weapon on her, maybe a dagger which had been carefully hidden.
She must have caught the scent; there was no keeping it a secret now. I was her mate, and soon enough, she would know it too.
Having her with me alone was more than just a test of my self–control. I wanted to know more about her, and everything I heard was indeed true. No one had ever looked up at me with pure disgust until I met this strange
woman.
She was nothing like I expected. For one, she didn’t mention her discovery that we were mates; Any other she- wolf would’ve stripped naked and waited to be claimed. At least that’s what I thought, but she–she didn’t seem to like me a lot, and while that shouldn’t be a problem, it was a bruise on my ego.
I was used to people cowering at my presence; I was used to the fear they held for me, the distance every single person gave me, but Kaida, of course, wasn’t like them; she had raised her hands on the Alpha King, a crime punishable by death, mate or not. I should have punished her; I shouldn’t have let her go so easily, and yet I did.
Ever since I was a boy, I was used to things going my way. Kaida had a strong will; she wasn’t used to doing as she was told, and maybe that’s what I found interesting about her. I was going to teach her how to be a Luna and how to be my Mate.
And then I saw her scars. Werewolves heal quickly; scars only remain from severe torture, and I wondered how that could have happened. I didn’t let her know I was curious; But I was indeed very curious to discover how those scars she hid from me came to be.
I had let her go knowing she was going to return here; she had no option; we both knew it.
And she did return.
With her own conditions.
I had to admit, I did enjoy a good argument. I would let her feel like she had an option, just to make the game even more interesting. I needed this, a little spark in my very boring life, Drinking and fucking were interesting too, but so was she.

Chapter Ten
Twice, she had wounded my ego. She had refused sex with me. Maybe it was the scars she was trying to hide, maybe it was something more, but again, I would let her believe she had a say; I would do as she had requested; I wouldn’t fuck her, no. For that she was going to beg, on her knees, and I was going to take her as I would any other slut.
“I don’t think an alliance with the Gray Moon Pack would be of any benefit.” Austin–one of my advisors said to
- me.
“I agree.” Phil joins in.
I was in the meeting room, surrounded by a dozen of my advisors; this was the last place I wanted to be at this
moment.
“What do you think, Alpha?” Austin asked as I hadn’t uttered a single word since this meeting began.
“I think I need more whiskey.”
