'What have I done?"

Just at that moment, alcohol removed from Jason's mind, he dashed out and took refuge in the darkness of the basement in the Pack house.


'Mathew was clearly not willing, I forced him to have sex with me."

A bullet of panic rose in his chest, his eyes welled up.

'He already hates me due to that re-birth thing and now this. Werewolves disgust us, Mathew will kill me."


He curled up in a corner and cried, dread of offending the love of his life was overpowering his mind.

'Jay!"


Mathew's impatient voice resonated throughout the whole basement, alerting Jason in the process.

'He is here to end my life."

He slithered to the corner more, as if the concrete wall would absorb him in it.

'Why did you leave, Jay? I was worried about you."

Drenched in the scent of Jason's scent, Mathew hugged him.

'Silly boy! I love you."

His sincere confession put a full stop to Jason's useless imagination, he sobbed piteously.

'Are you serious?"

'He is damn serious Jason."

Charlotte entered the basement, although she didn't have a plan to interfere in their moment before.

'Mathew is your soulmate, Jason. I have especially come here to tell you so that you can leave all the unnecessary ifs and buts and mark the Goddess's blessing. There should be no time wastage in marking what truly belongs to you."

Jason's wide eyes darting from one face to another was a visual display of utter disbelief, he was looking for some sort of confirmation of what he had just heard.

'It's true."

Eric's Alpha tone boomed in the surroundings; Mathew wrapped his arms around Jason's trembling figure.

'I will arrange a lavish mating ceremony for you. Now, you can't leave me forever."

He nuzzled his neck, the scent of Jason's fear turned into an unadulterated joy instantly.

'I love you, Mathew. I would love to be your soulmate."

As the news of Mathew and Jason's mate-bond spread like fire, Luna Lily announced a joint mating ceremony for Alpha, Beta, and Gamma of the Silver Moon Pack.

Among the happy members of the Pack house, Alpha Eric grabbed his mate's arm to inquire about the last demand. The display of the other loving couples was making him restless, he couldn't wait to have a happy ending with his soulmate.

'What do you want, little one?"

He took her to their room, as Charlotte didn't like to discuss personal matters before others.

'For what?"

She bit her lip, annoying him more.

'You said you will mark me, but you have one condition. What's that?"

Charlotte took a deep breath and raised her eyes.

'I have a simple wish, Alpha. I want to have a sex with King Casper once."

As soon as these words left Charlotte's mouth, Alpha Eric growled, his right hand hit her cheek.

'Little one!"

Placing her hand on her swollen face, Charlotte chuckled.

'Why? Isn't it fair that I also enjoy the luxury of a completed soulmate bond. As I have accepted the proposal necklace, our bond was also built for perfection."

'Mine!"

In an instant, she was caged in Alpha's iron hold, but his nonstop growling didn't intimidate her.

'You should have just hit me when you decided to consummate your relationship with Melinda. I will never mark you, Alpha. You can go to Hell."

Charlotte screamed at the top of her lungs and pushed him away; her heart was hammering against her rib cage.

'You, you can't do this to me, little one!"

Eric held her shoulders firmly, keeping her in place.

'You helped me out when I was drowning in the pain of rejection. What was that?"

Seeing his crimson orbs, Charlotte realized that Alpha's wolf had taken control over him.

'That was my repayment. You saved my life in the Lycan Pack. I have experienced this pain and trust me, it's worse than death."

…

As the ceremonies were announced and once again, the talks between Eric and Charlotte had ended in a deadlock, they decided to celebrate the event without marking.

Charlotte's mark was visible to every Pack member from the day one, so it wasn't a big task to lie to the Royal officials and get an appointment letter for her.

On the other hand, Ramla sent a witch for Jason's daylight amulet. The night of celebrations came with countless blessings and happiness, Charlotte wore her mother's dress to honor her love. Noah and Angie, Mathew and Jason, the whole Pack was bustling with happiness, except Alpha Eric, whose emotions were in a mess.

Almost all the rituals were cancelled due to Charlotte's vampirism, just a plain announcement was made about her Luna status. Moreover, he was dying to break that witch's mouth, who openly laughed at him while pointing out the vampire rituals, which could be included in the ceremony after dinner.

'At least a necklace of acceptance could be offered to you Alpha Eric. Alas! Forced relationships cannot bring inner satisfaction."

After that ruined ceremony, Alpha was drinking in the basement, questioning his beliefs.

'What's my fault?"

Living in a restricted werewolf community, he was never told of these complications, no one ever faced this relationship dynamics before. He had seen couples mating and living happily, even though they live harmoniously after the fight for the mate-bond.

'Why is this happening to me?"

He fisted his hair, as his mind was getting entangled more and more, its over efficiency didn't suggest a single solution to solve this problem.

'What are you doing here, Eric?"

Luna Lily searched for her son and found him alone, her heart ached at his worsening condition. She patted his head; Eric hugged his mother.

'I am stuck in a critical issue. Please help me."

He explained the matter in detail for her expert opinion, as she was more experienced than him. Luna Lily's face reddened with fury, she sighed and spoke up.

'This is the problem of so-called independent woman, Eric. They don't know how to behave with their mate, let alone perform the duties which nature allotted to them.

It's the duty of a female to submit before her mate, this equality thing is all the side effect of the education and trash books. Look at our werewolf academy, we are teaching our girls to live like a good daughter, sister, and a mate, as this is their real destiny."

She paused for a while and shook her head.

'This kind of wild woman could only be tamed by only one thing.

Yes, this would be the only feasible solution in our case."

Alpha Eric, who was getting a reminder of all things he heard growing up in his Pack, was overjoyed when Luna Lily finally came to the point.

'What is it? How can I fix my relationship with little one?"

He grabbed his mother's arm and begged pitifully.

'Have a child with her. Being a mother will make her realize that she is bound to you for her whole life. Currently, she is soaring high in sky due to her vampire mate. In the real world, no man would accept a single mother as his wife. So, my son, be a father and start a family. Everything will be fine in a year."
