Chapter 100
“You know what, just call her. End my misery.”
I was about to retort but Meredith clearing her throat stopped me. I looked at her and found the slight frown on her face with a cocked brow.
Don’t think you’re getting out of this.”
She sat in the couch I was previously sitting at. She crossed her legs, and titled her head to
the side.
“So?”
With a reluctant breath, I nodded to her expense.
“We aren’t together… but that doesn’t mean we won’t ever be.”
I tell her. She smiles and again starts sqeauling.
“Oh Goddess, I have to go to the shrine and bring some offerings. She finally heard and answered my prayers for grandpups-”
“Woah there Meredith, slow down. Nothing is confirmed. You and Williams need to calm down. You act as if everything is set into motion.”
Meredith scoffed as she looked at Noah. He returned her look of disbelief and passed me
one of his own.
“Darling, I’m afraid you’re being naive. Alpha Locksworth is not one to mindlessly’date. You’re not one to mindlessly date. I doubt you’re only doing this on a whim. How many
much marriage proposals have you denied? How many suitors? Sweetheart, you never so as looked at a guy a second longer than you had to. And now you’re telling me you’re doing a trial with the Bloodlust Alpha?”
A smug look passes on her face.
“You aren’t fooling anyone.”

Chapter 100
I felt my cheeks heat up. Yes, I had marriage proposals in the past but they were all for politics. Some had wanted to breed for the strongest pups and to merge our packs but I wasn’t interested. There were a few that genuinely seemed interested after meeting but I had no desire to partake in any romantic involvement.
I guess Raizel truly was the exception.
“That’s not all Ms. Crestfield.”
hap my head toward Noah who easily avoids my gaze.
“Alpha Locksworth has decided to court her. Old fashion style. Asked her for permission
and everything.”
I curse him in my head, already feeling my fists balling up. Leave it to my Beta to be the one leaking information like that. Meredith looks at me with widened eyes before she parts her lips in shock.
“He’s courting you?”
She repeats in disbelief.
When I don’t answer, she sighs dreamily and rubs her cheeks vigorously.
“You can’t tell me you feel nothing for a man who actually has some decency in him.”
She looks pointedly at me and every passing second I feel her eyes burning hotter and
hotter.
“Okay, fine. My wolf likes him and for some strange reason, I do too. There’s just this weird sense of magnetism between us. Not long after meeting each other, I felt so drawn to him. I
had-”
I glanced over to Noah and cleared my throat in embarrassment,
“dreams about him. I don’t know, it just seems so strange. I’ve never felt like this. Not even
with Landon.”
Meredith’s face scrunched up together. Her interest piqued with a growing desire to find
answers.

Chapter 100
“Your wolf likes him?”
I nod and let out a strangled breath. My wolf was feeling overly elated just thinking about
him.
“So much that every time she comes in a ten foot radius of him, she starts freaking out and
demands me to go to him. I need to keep her on a tight leash or else I’m worried she’ll take over and lick his face while in my human form.”
Oh, I’m sure he wouldn’t mind that-”
“Shut it, Nate.”
Noah pouts again at me but keeps quiet.
“So even your wolf is infatuated with him. I always knew your wolf was different from how detached she acted with Walker, but I didn’t think she would take to someone else other than her mate. I’ve never heard of anything like this before. Sure there had been second chance mates, but it was only when both partners had already lost their first mates. And sadly, Walker is still breathing and no one really knows the deal with Alpha Locksworth.”
Meredith had this far off look in her eyes. She chewed on her lip.
“I’ll talk to Williams and see if he knows anything. I’m sure there has to be an explanation
to all this.”
She gets up, smoothening her pants. Noah automatically follows her lead and bows in respect. I want to tell her what Williams said, but that would mean prying into Raizel’s business without his knowledge. I would much rather hear it from him than other people. Williams probably won’t be saying much either.
“Will you be returning to the Capital soon to deal with the rogues?”
Getting up from my chair, I walk around the mahogany table and lean against the side. I give her a nod, pressing the heels of my palms onto the margins of the wood.
“Yes, I will. I couldn’t just leave the pack for over a week. I’m here to make sure everything’s in place and from the sound of Alpha Woods‘ praise for Isaac, I’m expecting him to be back sooner than we thought. Maybe in a month of two. I might just wait for him before the real fun begins. Leaving the two in the isolation wards might do some good for

their minds. Well, good for me.”
