Loud music and enchanting beauties in the city pub was not enough to catch the Beta Noah's attention, only annoying him more.
Being a pureblood Beta, the punishment of cooking for omegas was way more humiliating for him, their mocking gazes and harsh comments dampened his soul.
He placed his hand on his heart as a pang of agony cut through it, he yelped in pain. After marking, Angie's sadness was injuring his already wounded soul, but the fire of jealousy was intense like never before.
'Why? Why I got a slut as my mate?"
This question was out of his mind. Vicky was suggesting to burn the world with his rage, considering him the most unlucky wolf in the world.
The mate for Noah was a heavenly thing, so sacred that he had to respect it with every possible method.
Being raised by his sister, he followed the footsteps of Milly and stayed single, saving himself for his mate. She always taught him that his mate would also be doing the same, somewhere in the community. So, it became essential for him to reciprocate her efforts.
Believing in equality between mates, Noah spent five years after his adult age alone, Vicky was also on board with this decision.
'Mate, first."
Their policy worked well in the past, he got praise from his peers too for keeping his virginity. But Angie's yesterday's confession blew out his mind.
'I had a boyfriend."
This line from her robbed his ability to think, he grabbed her blooded neck right after their first love making.
'Tell me everything about your past."
He asked this query purely out of instinct but the information following it was out of his jurisdiction. Her gambling habits, drug addiction and being a slave fumed Noah, disappointing him deeply.
He was regretting that how he was fooled by the innocent countenance of Angie, his mate, not wise enough to see the truth behind her ‘I am an angel' mask.
Indeed, mate bond can affect the power of decision.
Now, diving in the ocean of emotions, Noah was stuck between hatred and mate-pull. His over possessive side was ablaze of having a whore whereas the bond of the souls was drawing him closer to Angie.
'She cheated on me."
'She was unaware of werewolf's culture."
'She has no moral values."
'She has promised that she will behave well."
'She is a slut."
'She is my mate."
'Enough!"
Noah growled loudly, fisting his hair. Fortunately, the music was loud and everyone was busy in that werewolf area's pub, so no one paid any heed to his vexation.
Noah chugged another glass of wine, continuing his thought process about Angie and his future with her.
Until midnight, he was two bottles down, and finally concluded a decision.
'I can forgive her for gambling and drugs but not having an illicit affair. I will find a better she-wolf for me."
Vicky winced at the mention of rejection, so Noah pacified him.
'Don't worry, she will stay at the Pack house. You can see her whenever you want."
They mutually agreed on these terms and Noah got up, a group of hot she-wolves were eyeing him from sometime.
…
As Angie was showing signs of recovery, Luna Lily transferred her to the Pack house, and tried to burry this matter.
Tongues were wagging, their Pack's honor was at stake. It would be so embarrassing in the werewolf community that Beta Noah of the famous Silver Moon Pack tried to kill his fated mate.
Luna warned the whole Pack not to post anything about it on social media or share it with their relatives in other packs. Satisfied by her arrangements, Luna Lily retired for the night, but the whole house rang with screams of Angie.
'There's an emergency in the guest room."
Amy mind-linked her, Lily called a doctor in case of any flaring illness.
'What's happening to her?"
Angie was like a writhing heap of maggots, screeching in discomfort. Luna examined her body for any kind of bleeding or ruptured wound, but when she saw her holding her lower abdomen, reality dawned on her.
'Sedate her, now!"
Her commanding tone quickened the pace of the obedient doctor, and he jabbed a syringe in Angie's arm, forcing her to sleep. But the extent of torture tormented her in her unconsciousness too, Angie's muffled cries were making the atmosphere grim with despair.
'Noah is having a physical relation with another lady."
Luna sighed and explained to the dumbfounded Amy,
'Although mate-bond is a blessing, this is the worst part of it. The price of cheating of one partner has to be paid by another one, enduring enormous pain and suffering."
Then Amy pointed out the main issue.
'Angie is a human, how long could she stand this?"
Luna's sympathetic gaze shifted from Angie to the head doctor.
'It's your duty to sedate her every time when she will show the sign of misery. I will make sure to engage Noah in workload, but Angie has to be monitored at night. This is the only thing we can do for her."
…
After facing Charlotte's wrath for the third time in a single day, Alpha Eric seriously planned a date night to subside some tension.
The shopping experiment was a successful attempt, and peaceful time was the thing he was looking forward to. He revised his college days' dating tips and decided to use it on Charlotte, as his methods never failed to capture the hearts of beautiful girls.
Currently, Gamma Mathew was standing in his office, noting down the details of the dinner date.
'Flowers should be roses, color scheme should be white and for dinner...."
'I have a request, Alpha."
Mathew finally dared to interfere in Eric's planning. As Charlotte's lecture of having no friend was still hurting him, so Eric suppressed his anger and replied politely.
'What's the matter, Mathew?"
Mathew, who was expecting Eric's lash out, rejoiced at his flexibility.
'By arranging a date on tomorrow evening, you will waste twenty-four hours of your precious honeymoon period.
So instead of a dinner date, arrange a brunch. Luna is habitual of waking up at 7:00 am, so a brunch date at 12:00 pm will be the perfect time to relax and spend some time together."
For the first time listening to his assistant in a crucial time, Alpha Eric realized what he had missed in the previous years of his rule. It was true that final decision should be taken by the head, but opinion of your peers could be helpful in the process? It was surprising for him.
So for the second time in his life, Eric made an exception.
'You are right, Mathew. Arrange a brunch date. Shift everything from the lawn to the dinning hall, inform the butler of my farmhouse that we will reach at sharp 11:30 am. There should be no mistake, otherwise get ready to lose your neck."
