CHAPTER 6

"Hey Alpha. Congratulations on your upcoming post," Collin teased with a happy voice. Collin's father is my Father's close beta; Collin will also be my beta. 

Collin raised his glass and I clinked my glass with his. "Thank you."

"It's such a pity that our capable future Alpha hasn't seen his mate yet. Perhaps you can arrange for the big mating festival for all packs." Liam suggested, but before he could finish his words, Jasher smacked his head.

"You stupid playboy, just admit that you want to flirt with the beautiful werewolves from other packs."

Liam eyed Jasher with unhappiness, "Stop looking at me as if I'm a flirt all the time, I'm just thinking on behalf of our Alpha. Hey Alpha, what do you think?"

"Mom, is anything wrong? Do you need anything?" Collin stood up immediately while asking his mom with concern.
