"There is a problem in my kingdom. Come and help me solve it. It won’t take more than three days, and you can return to your pack."

"Hahahahahhaha," Alpha Denzel laughed. Regaining his composure, he rained curses on her. "Fuck you, Selene. You think you can trap me with you? Try harder."

No one would be able to return if they indeed went to the kingdom of the moon goddess. Alpha Denzel knew that very well, meaning that the moon goddess was being impersonated. This was not the woman he saw the last time.

Selene was angered by his curses on her. Alpha Denzel was the most fearless of her creations. "I have given you too much, and I’m being questioned for it. All the blood you spilled is crying against you. Do you not care?" She tried to awaken a level of guilt inside of him but failed terribly at it.

"If you were indeed the punisher of evil and the rewarder of good, you would have known that I never shed innocent blood." Alpha Denzel was never guilty for anyone he killed. He did not have any regrets because they deserved it.

"Valerie’s tears are crying against you," she tried harder, but Alpha Denzel sneered in response.

"She already forgave me, so that also has been taken care of." Alpha Denzel was confident that Valerie held nothing against him. She was fierce but had a sweet soul.

Intending to spend the rest of his life making it up to her, he was not ready to be separated from her for even a single second.

Now he was certain that this woman must have used a spell to get him here. That was the voice he kept hearing before meeting her.

"She will never get her wolf back," Selene said. Alpha Denzel was displeased as that was not what she said at first. What he had with Valerie now was priceless. If need be, he would hide her in a time of war to not get injured.

"I can live with it. Fuck you. You aren’t my goddess." He turned around, hastening to leave when Selene rebuked.

"Denzel, you will be punished for disrespecting me."

Alpha Denzel turned around, ready to expose the imposter. This woman was nothing close to the moon goddess. If not, she would not have gone back on her words.

"You are not the moon goddess. Most probably, a witch impersonating her." Those kinds of things were not unheard of, and there was no way to prevent these creatures from assessing the woods of a pack.

They would not be able to assess pack members’ houses, but the woods were places spirits freely dwell.

The white wolf was so angry that she changed into human form. Unlike other werewolves, she still had her clothes on even after the shift.

"Be mine." Her voice carried seriousness, and her beauty was dazzling. Alpha Denzel realized one thing. All along, his suspicions were true. The moon goddess would not show her face. If she did, he would not be standing on his feet.

He smiled. "You are beautiful. Very stunning. But you can’t compare to my Val. Whoever you are, don’t step foot in this pack again," he warned seriously. The woman’s expression was stony. She was about to say something when a subtle voice interrupted them.

"Denzel!" Valerie called behind him. Turning around, his hands wrapped around her.

"Val, what are you doing here?" He asked seriously, afraid that the imposter might harm her. This must have happened because of his going to seek the moon goddess before.

Now he attracted bad spirits to himself. Valerie pulled away and asked him. "Who were you talking to?"

Alpha Denzel turned around, but the imposter was gone. "Never mind."

He began to lead her away, but Valerie’s feet, protected by stilettos, pressed stubbornly to the ground. "I heard you talking, but there was no one."

It would take time for her to fully trust Alpha Denzel, after what happened with Scarlet. She heard a female voice, and he told her to never mind. This she-wolf might be the reason why he suddenly disappeared from his office like that.

Valerie was so worried when the warriors and even Alessia could not mindlink Alpha Denzel. Due to their times spent in the woods, she just felt like check and viola, he was there, talking to some invisible person.

Taking deep breaths, Alpha Denzel calmly began to explain it to her. "It was someone impersonating the moon goddess. More like a seducing spirit."

Valerie frowned, and something boiled inside of her. Was it jealousy, anger, or despair? The most dominant was fear. She might not love Alpha Denzel, but they made it clear that they belonged to each other, and she was waiting for her love to blossom for him.

"Did you fall for her?" Her expression was unwelcoming as she asked. Alpha Denzel knew it would take time to wash away her insecurities and plant his trust squarely in her heart. Cupping her face in the palm of his hand, he spoke sincerely.

"I’ll only fall for you."

He took her lips passionately. She responded with the same passion he applied. Pulling away, he stared pleadingly at her, "will you give me your body again? I promise to not cross the line."

Since that night, he never went that far again. It wasn’t easy for him to stop, but suddenly, he wanted her again. He didn’t need her permission every time if they had marked each other, but for now, there were still boundaries between them.

Valerie nodded without hesitation. Her body craved him from the kiss they shared, not caring it was in the woods. "Of course."

Hand in hand, they walked back to the pack house. But the woman appeared with a dark gaze. "Valerie, you will never have Denzel. Only I will have him."

Valerie stiffened in Alpha Denzel’s arms. "Did you hear that?"

"What?" Confusion scattered his mind.

Valerie was slightly skeptical. If she was not able to win against her sister in human form, how was she able to win against a seducing spirit?

"A woman. She said I will never have you. Only her will have you," she paraphrased for him. Alpha Denzel was least disturbed, but his gaze darkened dangerously. Whichever way he could battle this spirit, he was sure to do so.
