Chapter 13: What’s Done was Done

Selina didn't need a long time to decide. She was confident that she could change John's determination. "Sure, whatever you say."

John stared at Selina for a few seconds. "You will only be my mistress. Even if you give birth to a pup or more for me, they will only be my children, but never the next Alpha."

Selina opened her robe and laid it on the couch. She strolled a few steps, then threw herself into John. "Yes, my Beta. Whatever you say. Have you talked enough yet?" Selina took John's hand and placed it on her chest. "I'm here to fulfill our agreement. Shall we kiss and get laid now?"

John was still struggling. After meeting and marking Sophia, he didn't want to hurt Sophia. But their ten years of age gap was a problem John couldn't deny either. He had an agreement with Selina. He was the one who came to her house to offer her as his bedmate.

Sensing John's hesitation, Selina kissed John's lips. Her finger traced John's neck, and she whispered, "I have no problem with all your requirements, my dear Beta. So, what shall we do now? Should we carry on, or should I return to my house now?" Selina bit John's ear tip and touched the ear with her tongue. "However, if you send me home, I may visit Alpha Ryan tomorrow and maybe some Elders to express my dissatisfaction with you."

"Are you threatening me? Since I'll dump you faster than you can blink your seductive eyes." John gazed at Selina as cold as possible.

Any ordinary she-wolves would tremble, but not Selina. She only laughed and kissed John's cheek. "No, I'm not threatening you. I may only express my thoughts in a way or two." Her fingers ran to John's collar and opened the first button. "So, what do you say, Beta John?"

John knew he had no choice. His father often said to him repeatedly about the obligation of an Alpha. An Alpha must be trustworthy. Though they are rogues, still in the pack, their words are commands for others. When an Alpha's words are unreliable, then the trust and the respect of the pack members can be decreased, even gone.

He grabbed Selina's wrist. "I'll only say it one more time. You are not the dominant one in our bed, Selina. If you agree with that, we can proceed with this."

Selina curled her body like a cat full of milk. "Whatever you say, my dear Beta."

Then John lifted Selina's body and kicked his bedroom door. He laid her on his bed and stripped himself. "You may regret it later. But as we have an agreement, I'll fulfill it tonight. You will officially be my bedmate after I'm done with you tonight."

Selina moved her leg so John could see her thighs clearly. "Are you talking enough already? Since I'm ready for you."

John growled, throwing his clothes as fast as possible, then walked to the bed. When Sophia's sweet smile crossed his mind, he sighed. 'I'm sorry, my mate, but it's a werewolf's honor to do what he says. I hope you will understand.' Then he stripped Selina's lingerie.

The next day, John woke up, and Selina's warm body was next to him. John regretted bedding her, but what's done was done. She was his bedmate, and if she was fertile, he might have a pup soon. Last night was enjoyable, but he couldn't remove his guilt for Sophia.

So, John walked to the bathroom, took a shower, and dressed fast. Then, he left his house and walked to the Highland Forest. His mind was thinking of Sophia. He wished that last night he had spent with her, but of course, it was only dreaming.

He climbed a pine tree and glanced at the Moon Band area. It was early in the morning, so it was still quiet. John let out a sigh. 'Sophia, if only I could meet you now. Will you be mad at me if I tell you about Selina?'

It was weird that John had just met Sophia, but his heart and mind were full of her. Like there was an invisible connection between them. He regretted Sophia hadn't marked him yet. They could communicate through the mind link if both were marking each other. But considering how young Sophia was, John couldn't ask that from her.

That was when the hunter from the Moon Band pack spotted John. The hunters saw each other and hid behind bushes.

"Do you see that?"

"Yes, John Matthew," another hissed. "What's he doing up there?"

"Spy on us, it seems."

"We need to report again. It seems our finding yesterday is correct. Claude's pup may be his spy."

"A pup, but has been a spy at a young age. What a horrible thing to do!"

"Go report to Kappa Zee. He'll know what he should do."

"Got it!"

One of the fastest hunters sneaked back into the pack and met Zealous at his place. The hunter banged on Zealous's door until Zealous opened the door.

"What is it? It's still five a.m., for Magna's sake!"

"Kappa Zee, I won't come here if it's not urgent!"

"What happened?"

The hunter took a deep breath first as he ran out of air since he ran from the forest. "We spotted John Matthew just now. He was on the tree in Highland Forest, staring at our pack."

"I see. Anything else?"

"No, Kappa Zee. But we think the pup may be his spy. So we should warn Alpha Jock."

Zealous nodded. "Yes, I know. Go back to the forest and check if John Matthew is still there. Report back to me later."

"Yes, Alpha."

When the hunter returned to the forest, John was no longer there. So he asked his friends, "How long has John Matthew been here?"

"About five minutes. Why?"

"Nothing, I'm thinking. Is it possible that we may make a wrong conclusion?"

"Why? What makes you think like that?"

"In five minutes, what could he do? Not much, I guess." The hunter hit his forehead. "What should I do? Have I placed the pup in unnecessary danger?"

His friend shook his head. "But we all saw how she was close with John Matthew yesterday. It was undeniable."

"But to think a pup to be a spy—"

"Hey, don't think about it again. Let's continue hunting."
