How Dare You?-1
Markus stood rooted to the spot, his heart pounding as his senses zeroed in on the source of the intoxicating honey scent. His wolf howled in his mind, a cacophony of joy and fury. As his gaze locked onto the pack’s Luna, Alena, he felt as though the ground had been yanked from beneath his feet. Lora’s sister was his mate! But how was this possible to sense her, as she was already
mated?
Alena’s eyes widened in shock, mirroring his own disbelief. She opened her mouth, and the word
that slipped out was “Mate.”
Gasps erupted from those close to the Alpha family, while Alpha Alex stared at them, frozen in shock and disbelief. The tension was thick, an electric charge crackling through the air. The former Alpha Ben, sensing the volatile situation, stepped forward with authority. “Everyone, you are free to return to your activities. Your Highness, let’s step inside the Alpha’s office.”
Markus, Alex, Alena, Alpha Ben, and his mate moved to the office, leaving the bewildered pack members outside to speculate. Once inside, the silence was palpable, each of them grappling with the shocking revelation.
Markus’s wolf oscillated between ecstatic joy at having found their long awaited mate and seething rage at the sight of another male’s mark on her neck. Yet, as he examined Alex’s neck, there was no corresponding mark. His wolf growled, understanding more than Markus did at that moment. The bond between Alena and Alex was incomplete.
“How is this possible?” Markus spoke to his wolf, “She’s marked, yet I sense her as my mate.”
His wolf replied in rage “Her wolf… she opposed the mark. His mark is there, but it’s not complete. They… they never completed the full bond despite being marked and mated.”
Alex’s expression contorted with anger and disbelief. “What is going on? What is this nonsense?!” he demanded, his voice echoing in the tense silence. Alena’s eyes were wide with shock as she stared at King Markus, the realization dawning upon her. Her fated mate was the King himself! Oh, Goddess! “I am mated with the freaking King himself!” she screamed in her mind in disbelief.
Before anyone could react, she moved swiftly, closing the distance between her and Markus. To everyone’s astonishment, she threw her arms around Markus, tears streaming down her cheeks.” Mate,” she whispered in a tender, broken tone, as if the word itself was a lifeline she had been
clinging to for years.
Gasps filled the room as the gravity of the situation settled in. Alpha Ben and his mate exchanged shocked glances, while Alex’s face turned a deep shade of red. “Alena, what the hell are you saying? Behave yourself!” he shouted, his voice a mix of anger and hurt.

Alena turned to face Alex, her eyes brimming with tears. “I’m sorry, Alex,” she said, her voice trembling. “I’ve felt incomplete, broken for so long despite your feelings for me. I care about you but I always felt something missing inside my heart. Now I understand why. The King… is my true mate. It is my destiny to be by his side. I can’t oppose the Moon Goddess.”
Alex’s fists clenched at his sides, his whole body trembling with suppressed rage. “This is absurd! We’ve been together for years, Alena. I rejected my fated mate for you, and you promised that you would do the same! You can’t just change your mind now… I love you and you love me!”
“I never chose this,” Alena interrupted, her voice rising with emotion. “I fought it, resisted it because I wanted to be loyal to you. But my wolf… she always knew, that’s why she refused to mark you. She wants her true mate and I can’t fight it anymore. This is the bond we were meant to
have. I am sorry, Alex.”
Unknown to everyone, Markus, possessed special abilities that set him apart. One of these abilities was particularly useful: he could sense deception and lies. This skill served him well as king over the years, allowing him to navigate the treacherous waters of politics and alliances. As Alena clung to him, her words echoing in his mind, Markus felt a familiar twinge that signaled her
dishonesty.
