Chapter 182 (18+) Claiming Her

••• Hayden’s POV •••

“You… have no relatives at all?” I asked her.

She shook her head sadly.

“And you don't belong in any pack?” I asked her to make sure.

“My parents passed away when I was young, and I’ve always been a rogue…”

She kept her head down, not daring to look at me.

“You are not the Alpha of the Rd Claw Pack; it doesn't matter if you don't have a strong mate,” Rhett pointed out and added, “I’ll kill you if you reject her just because of her less-than-desirable background.”

I would have told him if he killed me, it was just the same as killing himself, but at this moment, the important thing was my mate.

“What’s your name?” I tried to keep my voice as gentle as I could, knowing what an orphan might have done to stay alive in this world, especially since she was a rogue

Her life must have been difficult, and I didn't want to spook her out.
