My heart was beating faster than normal, his presence igniting my wolf into an indescribable horniness.

At that, I had no choice but to close my eyes and sigh deeply to control my wolf. I knew that everything I felt was only because of the bond between us.

/Freddy.../ I heard Bennet's husky voice again as a shiver ran through my blood.

Freddy immediately released my arms and looked down, walking towards Bennet.

/Brother, I.../

Freddy's words were interrupted when the door opened again and his parents entered with an angry and worried expression.

/How the hell could this happen? My reputation has been ruined! I've worked all my life for this moment and one silly girl ruins it?/ said the former alpha Richard.

/Honey, calm down, let's let our son sort them out,/ said Freddy's mother gently.

/What? Are you forgetting who our son is? He's the alpha of the pack! You know the rules!!!/ shouted Alpha Richard making the walls shake.

I couldn't help but sob silently when I heard them scream. He was right, the pack rules were clear, if Bennet rejected me I would die and he would lose his title and be kicked out of the pack.

As I wandered in my thoughts Freddy spoke /Brother, please, she is my girlfriend, I know the rules inside out. I can't let this happen/ He said.

When I heard him, I looked up and fixed my eyes on him. How dare he say I was his girlfriend? I ended the relationship because of his betrayal!

For a moment I thought he was doing it for me, but I understand that as the alpha's brother, he had to maintain a perfect guy image, so I clenched my fists and couldn't help but scream.

/No, he's lying, I ended the relationship, we're not boyfriend and girlfriend/ I said growling.

At my words, Freddy turned to me and opened his eyes in annoyance. He made a gesture wanting me to shut up.

/What are you talking about, sweetheart?/ asked his mother suddenly.

/I'm telling the truth, Freddy was cheating on me for a long time with my best friend/ I said.

However, when everyone fell silent, a loud smack landed on my cheek.

/How can you say such things about my son? You're a lying child!/ She said after hitting me.

I looked at her in disbelief as I massaged my reddened cheek. The burning on my skin was the least of my problems.

/Every day you tell me how much you love Freddy, but now that you found out he's not your mate you humiliate us like this? Now you even accuse Freddy of cheating on you? You're so ungrateful! Freddy does nothing but talk about how much he loves you and you are just a gold digger. Now you've decided to go for the main alpha!/ She said.

Her words made me freeze. She thought so badly of me? How could she say that?

/Please, it's not like that. Until yesterday I loved her son, but I found out that he betrayed me for two years. I ended my relationship with him, I couldn't be a deceived fool anymore. He can corroborate it/ I said turning my eyes to Freddy.

Freddy looked at me with his eyes wide open and let out a sigh, /Hester, what are you talking about? When have I ever betrayed you?/ He said shaking his head.

His words made my chest burn with pain. He was lying right under my nose again. Apparently he was an expert at lies and I had never noticed until this moment.

With my eyes wide open, I stared at him in disbelief /How can you say that, you and.../.

I didn't even finish my words when a loud shout interrupted me /Enough! I want everyone to leave, now!/ Bennet said echoing in the room.
