Bowen could not believe how easily he lost control over his lust for Sara. Just as when he was resolute not to have sexual engagement with any women until he is sure who his real mate is, his resolve crumbled with just the sight of Sara sleeping.

His thoughts were cut when Trin arrived at his office. Moments later Sara has arrived too.

"Ladies, please have a seat." Bowen pointed to the two chairs in front of his work desk.

"I hope the confrontation I witnessed a while ago will not happen again. I admit the situation we three have is complicated and frustrating. However, I employ civility. Remember, one of you is the true luna of this pack, much is expected from you." Bowen started.

Trin and Sara kept silent letting Bowen get on with this so called meeting of his.

"I called you because I want to warn both of you that whoever is deceiving me will be severely punished.

The alpha king has summoned his best witch to come to Stone pack to help reveal the true luna.

Moreover, each woman will spend a day with me with an activity you have in mind.

This way we can let the mate bond do its thing. " Bowen continued.

"Trin, we will have our date, first. What do you have in mind? How do you wish to spend your day with me?" Bowen directed at a now overly excited Trin.

Trin beamed as a plan came to her mind, "day swimming and then a fancy dinner!"

Bowen rubbed his chin and said, "good, fine." Bowen could already picture Trin with just her skimpy bikini. She is really playful and daring.

"And you, Sara? How would you spend an entire day with me?" Bowen is truly curious. He is not oblivious to Sara's resentment or hate towards him. Perhaps it is the best time to find out why.

Sara gave Bowen a dead serious look but eventually she responded. "A tour at the pack center in the morning, lunch at a local restaurant, and lastly I want to see the lenkacea fields, to touch the flowers with my very hand." Sara squirmed in her seat as if fighting unseen demons.

Trin's face fell. She felt foolish over her choice of activities when Sara mentioned hers. How could she forget about the flower field? She cursed herself!

Bowen stood and paced to and fro, deep in thoughts.

He returned to his chair and addressed Sara.

"The pack tour and the lunch are good plans.

However, with the lenkacea fields, I will think about it.

You see, only authorized and trustworthy pack members have access to the fields.

Our pack has suffered brutal attacks and received a number of blackmails because of the flowers and their value. "

"I understand and I will not insist. If so, we can end this so-called bachelor's date with the lunch thingy. I would rather then go back to my room and read a book in solitude." Sara expressed her usual disinterest.

Bowen raised a brow over Sara's retort.

"Well for now that's it. I cannot join you ladies for dinner because I have an important meeting. Do feel at home." Bowen informed. "And Trin, see you tomorrow, baby." Bowen flirted, further encouraging Trin's infatuation.

"Yes, alpha!" Trin giggled.

"Get a room." Sara whispered and walked out of Bowen's office.

"Davos," Bowen summoned as the ladies exited his office.

"Alpha Bowen." Davos came forth behind the alpha's secret room.

"Well, you've heard how the ladies responded. What do you think?" Bowen asked.

Davos took the chair across the alpha's desk. "My gut tells me, Sara is for real. I want her to be the luna. How she challenges and annoys you are exciting to witness! We do not see that often!" Davos laughed.

"Davos, you had your laugh. Seriously, now!" Bowen impatiently commanded.

"Uhmmm. Okay. Still my instinct and my wolf leans in favor of Sara.

Despite her animosity towards you, I sense a caring and passionate person in her.

Trin, on the other hand is overly transparent over her feelings or obsession towards you and the title.

It's like she has nothing going on but her need to be with you. " Davos shared.

"Don't you think Sara could just be playing hard to get as a tactic? At least Trin is honest." Bowen asked.

"Alpha Bowen, Sara was ready to fight me and the guards when she learnt that we have her grand father.

She only backed off when she established that her Pappy came willingly.

She does not want to be here or near you.

I do not think that was acting." Davos defended.

"I admit, Tris is stunning and sexy as hell, but that girl is like often in daze.

I think something is wrong with her." Davos added.

"Sara, wants to see the flower fields." Bowen reminded Davos.

"I heard. Interesting choice, isn't it, alpha?

True, we do not allow just anyone to the place but she could be the luna.

She is entitled then to be there. If she has a sinister plan, allowing things to unfold could help foil her plans.

Observe her reaction. Dig deep why she wants to see the flowers. " Davos contributed.

"Anyhow, in the end it is you and your wolf who will discover the truth. The witch that the alpha king will send will just affirm the truth. Let your heart rein than your mind. It's time to let your guards down a little." Davos suggested.

"Thank you for your input. You may go now." Bowen dismissed his beta.

"Sara, Sara, Sara. You are more interested with my flowers than being my mate. Why, oh why?" Bowen thought out loud.
