Chapter 13


    “Oh, hi.” Aristo said, a grin taking up a huge part of his face as Beta Maria scrambled to find


    something to cover herself. “There’s no need for that now.” Aristo chuckled as she grabbed two


    throw pillows, holding them against her front.


    “What are you doing here?” She demanded of me, pretending not to see the Beta checking her out.


    “I should be asking you that.” My voice was cold when I spoke.


    I wanted to assume she came here for Beta Aristo, after all, it was no secret that the Beta was a


    lover of women. However, this was the Alpha’s room. She cleaned it herself so there was no way for


    her to pretend she was in the wrong room.


    “You dare talk like this –“ She walked backwards and got a nket, wrapping it around herself. “You


    disappeared, leaving behind all that work –“


    “Lady, I don’t know who you are but you’re in Cahir’s room,” Aristo cut her off. “You’ve missed your


    way, haven’t you?” He asked with a condescending smile. “My room is the one next to this.” He


    motioned to the left.


    “No – I –“ She stuttered, looking away with her tomato face.


    “You didn’t miss your way,” I said in a quiet voice despite me boiling inside. Asena was pushing to


    the forefront, rage egging her on to do something stupid. It took all my willpower to hold her in.


    “How dare this crazy bitch try to seduce my mate!” She was screaming while I tried to hold her


    back. “Imagine if he walked in here and not us!” She was imagining a lot of things, multiple


    scenarios flying through my head, all of them involving Cahir and Maria locked in a passionate


    embrace.


    “You –“ If she got any redder, she wouldbust. She hid her embarrassment in a show of anger


    against me but she didn’t know how hard my wolf was riding me to attack her. “Will you leave this


    ce?” She demanded, crossing her arm against her chest.


    “Lady, you should do the leaving. You’re up here trying to seduced her mate, not cool.” Aristo shook


    his head with a small disapproving sound escaping his lips.


    “Her – What – Cahir –“ Maria stuttered, her eyes jumping from Aristo to me as her face turned


    purple.


    “You should leave,” I said to her, folding my hands over my chest. “Before hees.” I made my


    tone threatening but a bit of unease wracked though me as I didn’t know how Cahir would react to


    Maria’s presence. For all I knew, he had invited her up here to wait for him and I was the intruder.


    “Uh – Right.” She looked around her for her clothes for a second but ran out without them when


    suffocating silence stretched in the room.


    Even after she left, Asena was not cated. My eyes darted around the room as if expecting


    another naked woman to saunter out with my mate’s name on her honeyed lips. Asena urged me to


    do something about Maria but I knew better than to attack her. I would not win.


    “Do you want to punch something?” Aristo’s face entered my line of vision as he hunched over to


    stare into my face. I stepped back with a nod. “You should punch the wall then,” a pause, “or you


    can punch me.” I whipped around and punched the nearest wall to me.


    The haze of anger flooding into me from my wolf died down as pain shot through my knuckles to my


    whole arm, making my body buzz.


    “Someone has to teach you how tond a proper punch.” Aristo chuckled, walking into the room.


    The room was arge white one with a huge bed decked in thick and fluffy white sheets and duvet,


    sitting at the far end of the room. At the entrance were two couches, one long and another small


    one separated by a ck coffee table. To the side of the room was a single ck suitcase that must


    belong to Cahir.


    “Do I –“ I looked at the door Maria exited through. “What just happened – Is it a usual urrence?” I


    asked Aristo, perching against the single sofa.


    The room felt too hot and stuffy for me. Coming up here, I had to endure the nasty gazes people


    gave me while wondering if it was okay for me to use the suite reserved for such an important man.


    Now, I could not get over what Maria just did.


    Maria was thest person I expected something like that from. At thirty, she was still unmated for


    reasons I could not know as I was not close to her but she never showed any sign of being lonely.


    Did she sneak into the bed’s of visiting Alphas all the time or was this just a special show she put on


    for Cahir? For my mate!?


    “Women sneaking into Cahir’s room?” Aristo snorted. “I would give anything to see his react – I


    mean –“ He paused. “No, women don’t sneak into Cahir’s room.” He answered after a while.


    “You don’t have to lie to me,” I muttered. The pause before he spoke was all the answer I needed.


    Why couldn’t my life be simple? I mean, not only did I have to be born an omega to a Beta like my


    father, my birth also caused my mother’s death and marked me as a pack enemy. Then I met Kade


    and now Cahir. I would prefer to be mated to a nice man, irrespective of his status, who I could be


    myself around without fear of another woman stealing him away or him rejecting me.


    “I wouldn’t dare lie to my Luna,” Aristo said in a voice ringing with sincerity. “I’m sure you’ve heard of


    Cahir. His temper is vtile. No woman would be stupid enough to gamble her life for the chance of


    being with him.” No woman except Beta Maria, it seemed. “If he met her here – Two things would


    have happened – “ I wished he would stop talking!


    Of course, I knew if Cahir caught her here, he would have either ordered her to leave or he would


    have given in to her temptation!


    “He could have ordered her to leave or – well – He may have driven a silver dagger into her heart.”


    My mouth fell open at Aristo’s words. They didn’t sound like they were said for my benefit. He was


    saying the truth.


    There was no adult werewolf on the who did not know Alpha Cahir of Alpha Blood pack. The


    former Alpha of the pack razed his previous pack to the ground and captured Cahir and some other


    people as spoils of war. Seven years ago, Cahir lead the men from his original pack to war against


    the former Alpha of Alpha Blood pack.


    When the war first started, no one took it seriously. Peopleughed at the ‘stupid boy’ who thought


    he could defeat the armed forces of the Alpha Blood pack but within six weeks of the war, it became


    clear that Cahir wasn’t just any man.


    He was blood thirsty.

    I did not know the details of it but I heard people discuss it. At first, people ced bets on how long


    he could withstand the forces of the Alpha Blood army but in time, they started to bet on how long


    the Alpha Blood warriors could hold out against Cahir and his men.


    People who we expected him to try to win over to his side were the first to go. The elders who he


    could have used against Alpha Boston, the past Alpha, were ughtered on a daily basis. No


    leader of the Alpha Blood pack was spared his wrath. Even when the elders in the pack saw that


    they were on the losing side and went to ask for his forgiveness, he never forgave them. He spilt


    everyst drop of their blood.


    Normally, an invading Alpha would take down the incumbent Alpha and forcefully take charge of the


    pack, but Cahir – he pulled down all the pirs surrounding Alpha Boston. With every death, he left


    a warning telling the Alpha he wasing. He left Boston in a panic, fighting with everything he had


    as he tired to subdue Cahir but in the end – Cahir won.


    “Is he – Is he that bad?” I asked Aristo whoughed.


    “He is worse but don’t worry, if you tried seducing him, he would allow himself to be seduced.”
