Chapter 68


    Chapter 68


    She begged, the desperation clear in her tone. Although her acting was terrible, I knew her desperation


    to be my mate was true. For whatever reason, she was dead set on bing mine. Some other


    mateless Alphas might have taken the bait but I know better than that. The Moon Goddess could hold a


    serious grudge.


    I would know.


    “Alpha Locksworth is your mate?”


    The Beta asked calmly. For a moment, the sh of anger turned to interest, intrigue and most


    noticeably fear. Looking at the two now, I could tell they were rted. They both had simr facial


    structures, and the overprotectiveness of the Beta proved to make the point. Beta Dixon looked at me


    inplete shock before his gaze traveled back to Hestia in silent question.


    With the slight nod of her head, his expression morphed into anger once more. He grit down on his


    teeth, his jaw clenching tightly before he dared to narrow his gaze on me.


    “You’re my daughter’s mate.”


    He stated, leaving no room for argument.


    Funny.


    “Your daughter is lying.”


    I retort, not bothering to sugarcoat anything. I don’t have the time, energy nor do I have the will to y


    make-believe with the girl. She can say all she wants but in the end of the day, I know da mn well she


    isn’t my mate. I was never supposed to have one. And the sparks, tingles, or whatever t he f uck the


    mate bondes with was most certainly not happening between us.


    If it wasn’t pure revulsion I felt for her, it would be growing distaste.


    “She would never lie. Not about mates. You can’t just reject her.”


    “Silence.”


    Beta Dixon’s mouth shut up, his eyes widening from his involuntarypliance to my order. The panic


    setting deep inside him grew immensely with the fear for his daughter. I look over to ChancellorBelongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    Williams who has a frown etched on his face. He looked at the Beta and his daughter before shifting his


    gaze at me. I ignored the look he was giving me. The look that said to take this somewhere private.


    But I wasnt having that.


    I was going to set the record straight in front of everyone.


    I didn’t need some of these Alphas thinking I abandoned my ‘mate’. It wouldn’t do well for publicity.


    “Your daughter is not my mate. She knows that. I don’t understand why she would bother lie about it


    when she already has a mate, but I don’t exactly care much to begin with.”


    My gaze narrowed at the bump under her dress.


    “I’m sure you’re not going to im me the father as well?”


    Her face reddened, her hand instinctively going to her stomach as she flushed in embarrassment. My


    wolf snorted, whipping his tail back and forth in aggravation. His eyes scanned her once before


    dismissively huffing out his disdain. Pressing my lips together in a hard line, I look over to the other


    men who were watching the exchange silently. They kept their gazes away from her and solely focused


    on what I was about to say,


    “I believe we’re done here. Shall we?”


    They all gave each other a brief look but nodded, straightening up and clearing their throats from the


    awkwardness growing around us.


    “Uherm, yes. We shall.”


    Muttered Monterey as he loosened the tie around his neck. Williams gave me a nod and began to lead


    the men forward, walking by the woman who was still on her knees in front of me. She had long let her


    hold of me go when I made thement of pinning me as the baby’s father. Turning to the Beta who


    was struggling to open his mouth, I narrowed my eyes down at him. He flinched, feeling the hostility


    and stopped his fruitless struggling against my order. If I could, 1 would rather leave him like this


    forever. But I don’t intend on making pointless trouble with Nightwake. That’s just more work than


    necessary. Of course, if they start it, I won’t have a problem ending it. I could use the Luna’s false


    ims as evidence of malice and just get right on to it, but surprisingly, my wolf told me not to. He was


    stubborn on reigning in his anger.


    He wanted me to ‘wait’.


    I don’t know what the hell that means, but it would seem like something is supposed to happen with the


    Nightwake pack. Whether it had something to do with the Alpha or the Luna, there was no doubt my


    mind it was something big. So instead, I simply nce onest time toward the two before turning on


    my heel and following the men out.

    Release.


    The sound of the Beta gasping out in harbored breaths was thest thing I heard before we entered.


    the conference room.


    Present


    “Williams, it’s Locksworth. Yes, I’ll be staying at the Capital for a week or so… Depending on how long


    it takes… Of course… No, Beta Creed is not attending. It’ll just be me. My wolf he needs it… yes..


    okay.”


    My gaze swept to the door when three knocks bounced into the room. Weston stood behind it, his


    presence made known to me through our blood oath.
