“It is so lovely to see you again, Maddie,” Alpha Jack said happily, making me look back at him. “I am so happy for you.”

I smiled at him.

“Thank you, Alpha,” I said. “It is lovely to see you again too.”

“Ali is here,” Alpha Jack said, making my heart race. “She asked to come so she could see you. We weren’t sure if you were still in this pack, though. You said you would leave as soon as you turned 18. I am happy that’s not the case.”

Dimitri flinched a little.

I am not leaving you.I mind-linked him.I will never leave you.

I know, princess.He mind-linked me back.

I focused back on Alpha Jack.

“Ali is here?” I asked and he nodded.

“She is very excited to see you,” he said, making me smile brightly.

I was excited to see her too. I missed her so much.

“I am excited to see her too,” I said, making Alpha Jack’s smile widen.

“She has no idea that you are a Queen,” Alpha Jack said. “I can’t wait to see the look on her face when she figures it out.”

I chuckled and shook my head a little. Ali was always very expressive. I could already imagine her gasping loudly and shouting. I would have to calm her down so she wouldn’t draw too much attention to us.

“That should be fun,” I said, making Alpha Jack laugh and nod.

I looked at Dimitri and he smiled at me. He lifted my hand and kissed my knuckles.

“Should we continue the conversation from last night?” he asked as he turned back toward our guests.

I took a deep breath and released it slowly.

It was time to work.

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN – What Do They Want?

Dimitri’s POV

I was pissed as fuck.

Every fucking man in the room was looking at my mate. I wanted to elongate my claws and pick their eyes out one by one.

I hated the way they looked at her. I hated the way they smiled at her. I hated the fact I knew exactly what they were thinking. I hated the fact that I knew exactly what they wanted.

I also didn’t like the idea of this Ali spending time with my mate. I didn’t know her. I didn’t know what she wanted. I didn’t know if Maddie would be safe with her.

I was angry and I wanted to get Maddie out of there. I wanted to hide her from their prying eyes. I wanted her all to myself.

I knew how irrational and selfish that was, but I didn’t care.

Are you okay?She mind-linked me.

No.I said angrily.I want to take you out of here. I don’t like the way they are looking at you. I know what they want and it’s making me so fucking angry.

Maddie reached out and placed a hand on my thigh. She squeezed it lightly and my whole body shivered.
