Chapter 1

Aurora:

“Charlotte, it is only for the deal. The two of us are not going to…

“You are going to be touching her, Dimitri. The packs expect to see a fucking mark on the woman.” I heard my best friend’s voice, making me frown as I walked toward Dimitri’s office. The two of us were getting ready to go out to the mating ceremony, and I couldn’t help but find myself frowning when he disappeared.

However, I knew that he had a few things to tend to, and because of that, I chose not to make a fuss out of it. But when he took as long as he did and we were being called, I knew that I had to go and at least check where my mate went.

“I am merely going to give her a temporary mark. It will be enough for them to see, and I will be rejecting her. The woman would be my ‘mate’ for duties, but the last thing that I am going to do is be in a relationship. with her.” He said, and I took a deep breath, trying to process what I was hearing. The man couldn’t be serious. MY mate, and my best friend couldn’t be seriously saying what I was hearing.

“You are saying this now, but it is only a matter of fucking time before the two of you are suddenly lovers.” Charlotte said, raising her voice at him. “Today, you are telling me this, you are angry that you are being forced into a relationship that you don’t want. You hate who she is and where she comes from and that is something that I understand. But that fucking bitch is smart and if she doesn’t manage to seduce you now, she will in the future. What the fuck am I going to be doing by then?”

“Charlotte, you know that I have my duties as Alpha…”

“You are not the only Alpha out there.” She said, and I watched through. the crack of the door as he cupped her cheeks, pulling her closer to him. Tears brimmed my vision as he connected his l*ps with hers in a gentle k*ss that stopped her from talking. She looped her fingers with his belt loops, pulling him closer, and he smiled into the k*ss before biting her bottom l*p before pulling away to rest his forehead against hers.

“You know that being the Alpha of Alphas, I have my duties to fulfill. But trust my word, the last thing that I am going to do is look at an orphaned omega who was adopted by the Alpha and his Luna out of pity.” He said, making my heart race against my ribcage. My l*ps quivered and I took a
