We sat there in silence while I ate all the fruit Brendon had brought. He was shaking his leg in what seemed like a nervous twitch. It was kind of cute. Not what I expected from an alpha, but cute.

"So, what did Aurora tell you?"

"She said I had a spell put on me to try and break my mate bond." I took another bite, "Apparently, you are my mate." I still didn't believe in this whole thing, and I needed to be able to convince him it wasn't real as well.

"And what do you think about that?" He had so much hope in his eyes.

"I think that I am supposed to be married soon and already marked."

A growl resonated when I mentioned my mark, "He had no right to mark you." The man next to me was no longer the fidgety alpha but someone ready to assert his dominance.

"He had the right to because we are engaged," I murmured.

"But you didn't want him to!" He was practically yelling now. It scared me that he could switch attitudes this quickly.

"What I want isn't what is important. Our union is what is best for my pack."

Brendon's hand cupped my cheek, "You can not truly believe that mongrel is what is best for your pack." His touch stung, but I felt myself still crave it. I must be going insane.

"It does not matter what I believe. It has been decided." I turned my head so that he could not see the disappointment evident on my face.

"What if I told you I could stop him from mating with you?"

Glancing up, I met his eyes, "Why would you do that?"

"Because you are my mate, and we were made for one another. I want you to be my Luna and help me lead this pack." His thumb traced over my lip, causing my breath to hitch. "Please tell me you will at least give me a chance to show you that having a mate can be a good thing."

His voice was so soft and gentle; it caressed me in a way that made me want to stay. I couldn't help but nod my head yes. Suddenly I was hit with an onslaught of pain. Brendon quickly pulled away from me, and the further he got, the less pain I felt in my stomach.

"Would you like to call your father to tell him that you are safe?" I could tell he didn't want me to call them, but he was also trying to give me a choice.

I nodded my head and grabbed my phone from Brendon. My father picked up on the first ring, "¿hija?

"¿Dónde estás?" (Where are you?)

"Estoy en la casa del Alpha Brendon" (At Alpha Brendon's house.)

"Hablas con él"(You spoke with him?)

"Sí" (yes)

"No confíes en él. Vaya Raul." (Do not trust him. Go to Raul)

"Yo buscaré para Raul pero quiero hablar con los lobos aquí primero." (I will look for Raul but first I want to speak with the wolves here.)

"Hija, no. Vaya Raul ahora." (Daugther, no. Go to Raul now.)

He used his alpha tone, making me shrink backward. I could not tell him no because I was below him in the pack hierarchy. To tell him no would be to challenge him as alpha, something I would never do.

The phone was snatched from my hand before I could submit and say yes, "This is Alpha Brendon; when your daughter is ready to return home, I will not stop her. But until then, she is my mate and will remain here with me."

The phone was silent for a few moments, "You realize this is an act of war, do you not?" My father asked. My eyes went wide; they couldn't be serious, "Yes, I do." Brendon shut the phone ending the phone call with my father.

We sat there in silence while I ate all the fruit Brendon bought down. He was shaking his leg in what seemed like a nervous twitch. It was kind of cute. Not what I expected from an alpha but cute.

"So what did Aurora tell you?"

"She said I had a spell put on me to try and break my mate bond." I took another bite, "Apparently you are my mate." I still didn't believe in this whole thing and I needed to be able to convince him it wasn't real as well.

"Yo buscaré para Raul pero quiero hablar con los lobos aquí primero." (I will look for Raul but first I want to speak with the wolves here.)

"Hija no. Vaya Raul ahora." (Daugher no. Go to Raul now.)

He used his alpha tone making me shrink backwards. I was not able to tell him no because I was below him in the pack hierarchy. To tell him no would be to challenge him as alpha; something I would never do.

Before I could submit and say yes the phone was ripped from my hand, "This is Alpha Brendon, when your daughter is ready to return home I will not stop her. But until then she is my mate and will remain here with me."

The phone was silent for a few moments, "you do realize this is an act of war do you not?" My father asked. My eyes went wide, they couldn't be serious, "Yes I do." Brendon shut the phone ending the phone call with my father.
