At the River Bed pack. Alpha Ansaldo’s driver packed the car and went around to open the door for him. Getting out. he then went around and opened the door for Bree.
It was already night, so the pack house was quiet with only a few warriors around. They stared at Bree curiously but did not dare to ask their Alpha about her presence in their pack.
“Welcome to your new home. I hope you like it?”
Alpha Ansaldo extended his hand to Bree, and she took it before stepping out gently from the car. Bree looked around her surroundings with satisfaction and smiled at him
“Well, the only reason I like it is because of you,” she replied.
Ansaldo’s hand lowered to her waist as she stood beside him. “I’m glad you like me better than the house,” he said, kissing her cheek.
The warriors were surprised but already sensed a big problem waiting. As soon as they entered the pack house, Alpha Ansaldo’s father met him heartily.
“Nick, you arrived on time. I just married Abilene, the daughter of Alpha Gaius from the East Red Pack, for you.”
The smile on Bree’s face froze as the woman, who looked pretty with a beautiful smile, approached Ansaldo as if Bree was not even there.
“Call me Abi. My father is already making arrangements for us to merge our packs because he’s old. Ansaldo, your power would greatly increase,” she said softly, pitching it in his favor.
Alpha Ansaldo was momentarily lost, only becoming aware of his surroundings when a hand caressed his chest. His expression changed.
“You are moving faster than your legs. Pack up and go back to your pack. I already found my mate,” Alpha Ansaldo revealed. Not only Abilene but even his father looked displeased.
“Nick. I hope you are joking.” his father said before casting a glare at Bree. “Who is she?”
It was as if her presence was not noticed the first time. Alpha Nick pulled down his neck collar a little and showed his father the mark.
“We already marked each other, and this is Bree Thorax. Does it ring a bell?”
“Thorax: Alpha Nick’s sister?” His father asked, looking surprised. He had heard about Alpha Nick’s sister but had never met her.
“Yes, she is. It was when I went for the business collaboration between our packs that I realized my mate had been there waiting for me all this while. She is an amazing woman, and I hope that everybody makes her feel welcome.”
He was talking to his father as if Abilene did not exist or was not standing in front of him.
Abilene saw the middle–aged man ready to give in but could not accept her loss. If no one would speak for her, then she would do so by herself.
“What do we do now? I already signed the marriage certificate on your behalf,” his father said worriedly. Then he blinked
“It’s your
fault, Nick. You should have called to inform me the moment you found out she was your mate.”

Alpha Ansaldo did not know how to explain it but tried anyway. “There was a lot going on at the Dark Moon Pack, and I had just found my mate. What was the rush when I was equally bringing her to this pack?”
The atmosphere grew uncomfortable as Abilene stared at Bree with contempt. Her pack might be big, but the Dark Moon Pack was bigger, and Alpha Nick was greatly feared.
However, she was determined to merge the River Bed Pack with hers to give it security. For as long as she was concerned, they had to marry for business gains.
“She is your mate, and we are married. You know the laws that when one does not wait for their destined mate and marries another, he has to wait at least three full moons before initiating a divorce. I have to stay here for at least three months if you want peace.”
Abilene’s voice was soft, but Alpha Ansaldo did not miss the subtle threat in them. After how long he searched for his mate and even tried to have Sheridan for himself, he would never let his mate go for a mistake his father made.
“I’m sorry, but that rule does not apply in this situation. You married my father, not me,” he pointed out.
Abilene paled at the analysis. “How can you say that? It’s your name on the certificate.”
Alpha Ansaldo did not beat about the bush.
“That was also without my consent. If you had the agreement with my father because you were desperate, then marry the widower. We share the same name anyway.”
Alpha Ansaldo grabbed Bree’s arm and walked her upstairs without saying anything more. In his room. Bree could not even admire the décor as she kept thinking about Abilene.
She remembered what she had done to Sheridan as a contract wife. Was this her karma? In her case, she was not the contract wife but could not help being afraid.
Alpha Ansaldo noticed how distant she seemed and asked worriedly. “Are you alright? You did not take her words seriously, did you?”
Bree wanted to say that she didn’t, but that would be a lie. “I can’t help it. I was mean to Sheridan before.”
“And she forgave you, just as she forgave me. Don’t worry. I will introduce you to the pack tomorrow, but let me call. your personal maid to attend to your needs.”
Bree did not stop him, and as soon as the door closed, she took out her phone and called Sheridan, sounding teary. “Sherry, please, I need your help.”
“Bree, what is the matter?” Sheridan asked, disturbed. Alpha Nick was equally curious at the mention of his sister and was about to speak when he heard Bree’s voice.
“Are you with Nick?”
“Yes. Do you want to speak to him?” Sheridan asked, feeling that Nick’s phone must have been on silent mode.
“No. I want you away from him. Please don’t let him know it’s me on the line,” Bree said. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Sheridan stared at Alpha Nick apologetically before returning to the shower room and locking the door.
“Now tell me everything. I’m all ears.” Sheridan was not expecting the question that came from Bree, as she knew it was going rob her from her sleep.
