"I don’t care how many curses you add as long as you give me the right answers," Alpha Denzel stated firmly, as the Moon goddess impatiently inquired, "Which is?"

"What were you doing in my pack? And why can you see me at any time when I receive a punishment for summoning you?" His arms remained folded across his chest, highlighting his lack of panic for daring to banter with the moon goddess.

There was a great contrast between this one and the one who appeared in his pack.

The Moon goddess was always impatient with him, and her answers were sometimes difficult to understand. She never made shameless advances towards him as well.

"Our worlds are different. I pay a price to come here, so it must all be worth it. I have many children, so how can I give attention to only one of them? Do you think it’s fair for me to leave my job and come to you when others need to be paired with their mates?

" Her voice rose, almost drowning the woods, but Alpha Denzel remained unmoved, unafraid.

"I did not come to your pack, though I can see everything happening there. If somebody who resembled me appeared, then that is also your curse."

Alpha Denzel’s expression contorted with confusion as he asked seriously, "Wait, what do you mean by the imposter being my curse?"

Not willing to accept the curse without answers, he turned the question around, hoping to trick her into revealing the information he desired.

"You spent quite a lot of time when you came to visit, and now you pretend to be in a hurry to pair mates. How do you end up pairing cheating mates with honest ones anyway? Now that I think about it, all my problems are your fault."

Anger resonated in the Moon goddess’s voice, sounding like that of an Alpha despite her feminine features. "Cut the crap. What are you talking about?"

Amusement tugged at the corner of Alpha Denzel’s lips. He enjoyed playing with danger, and this was just one of those moments.

"I was right. It wasn’t you. Then I need compensation for your carelessness. You mentioned a curse and left me with a bad headache. How could you allow another spirit to impersonate you? It means you aren’t as ethereal as you portray yourself to be."

A harsh wind began to blow, signifying her unquenchable anger. Alpha Denzel clung tightly to a tree, glad to upset her. If this immortal being refrained from allowing him to enjoy some peace and quiet with his mate, then he should steal her peace of mind as well.

"Stop using this trick. It doesn’t suit you. Just give me the right answers, and I will be out of your face," Alpha Denzel yelled as the squall intensified.

The squall stopped abruptly, and the Moon goddess revealed, "Yours and her destiny were sealed to not be bonded anymore because of your rejection.

But due to your persistence, I had to bend the rules for you.

You honestly surprised the ethereal kingdom with the extra miles you went to protect and show your love to her," the Moon goddess began to disclose deep secrets to him.

Alpha Denzel had a way of getting what he wanted, and she was certain he would not allow her to have peace if she kept too many things from him. This was confidential information, but she had no choice.

"Alpha Denzel, it is not my fault that you caught the attention of other spirits with your show of love. Just as there are jealous people around you, jealous spirits equally lurk around."

Alpha Denzel understood her point but could not comprehend why people continuously envied something about him when he envied no one. He kept to himself, yet people took a strong interest in his business as if it were theirs.

"I only love Valerie, so what do I do about these spirits you are talking about?" Annoyance laced his voice as he sought a solution to his problem. The fear of his pack being attacked when Valerie was without her wolf was a great headache for him.

That was one of the reasons he sent footage of the massacre of the five Alphas viral to deter any attacks for the time being.

"I can’t give you advice concerning them as they are not my creation," the Moon goddess explained truthfully. Her territory was where she paired mated werewolves to each other. There were other creatures like vampires and even witches, but those were out of her jurisdiction.

"Then Valerie, when is she getting her wolf back? I realized she didn’t have a heart when you told me to win it," Alpha Denzel brought the matter forward. If he could get a satisfying answer to this question, then that would be enough for him.

"A faint heart never won a fair lady," the Moon goddess smiled. Though Alpha Denzel could not see it, her smile resonated in her voice. "Alpha Denzel, don’t confuse her likeness for love, but it’s too late for her Luna wolf to return."

At those words, all the amusement in Alpha Denzel’s voice died, and he looked as if he was ready to strangle the Moon goddess. "What do you mean by that?"

She explained impatiently, as if her house was on fire. "If she is able to love you and confess it, she would have a wolf stronger than yours, but that also has its consequences. Are you willing to bear it?"

Alpha Denzel took deep breaths to calm his nerves. This was becoming too much for him to bear. "What consequence are we talking about, and why a different wolf? You are the Moon goddess. Just give her wolf back," he demanded.

When they were little, it was said that when one made a wish under the full moon, the Moon goddess would grant it. It was not the full moon, but he was fortunate to stand before the Moon goddess. Therefore, she was obligated to grant his wish, unless...
