"She wants me to leave you," Valerie repeated, adding, "she wants me to usurp your authority or even kill you and take over this pack."

Strangely, Alpha Denzel smiled. ’So, this is their plan,’ he said to Brutus, who was afraid. ’What if she plays by their rules? You trust her so much, and she could easily kill us, you know?’

Alpha Denzel chuckled and responded to his wolf. ’If killing me would make Valerie happy, then I would gladly die for her. I would not be replaced in her life anyway since she now has an alpha wolf.’

Then he asked Valerie. "And what did you say?"

"She said it was because you have become too dangerous, but I told her your wildness is what keeps me attracted to you."

Alpha Denzel laughed, kissing her hair as he caressed it. He never knew that she liked his wild side better. Valerie continued to speak.

"If I accept her, then I can’t give you an heir. She’s a female Alpha wolf." Valerie looked into Denzel’s eyes affectionately and continued to speak.

"Denzel, let me remain human. At least I can give you an heir. Just promise me that if I die for whatever reason, you would never replace me with another she-wolf."

Alpha Denzel stared into her clear eyes, having a mind of his own. "If you are telling me, then it means you never intended to do it."

His heart was filled with indescribable joy. All his life, he searched for love. When Lisa was taken, he never knew that love would find him again.

Then the bond drew him to her. The memories of their first meeting caused his anger to burn, but after everything, he still found the love in the one woman he faked hate.

She endured all his taunts and is even ready to die for him. Denzel would rather die for her.

"I just want you to know that I would never have my wolf back. Stop pestering the moon goddess for it," Valerie finally said, uneasy with his silence.

Alpha Denzel stared at her with admiration in his eyes. "Accept her. I can handle her," he finally said.

All he wanted was the chance to meet her wolf, especially when she was still in communication with the ethereal realm.

Alpha Denzel had a message for the moon goddess, but Valerie was reluctant. How could she do this? It would be selfish to have her wolf and Alpha Denzel.

How could she deny the pack an heir? "I won’t be able to give the pack an heir if I do."

Alpha Denzel pressed his forehead against hers before saying, "Then I will tell you what I told the moon goddess. We create our own destiny. We shall have an heir, and that would be through you. Female Alpha wolf or not."

Valerie could not understand him. Then she remembered that he constantly went to meet the moon goddess. "Are you going to see the moon goddess again?"

Denzel shook his head, his forehead still pressed against hers. "No. I’ve had enough of seducing spirits. I told her I would never summon her again."

His expression turned serious. "Val, trust yourself and trust me, just as I trust you, will you?"

Valerie did not respond, rather capturing his lips and kissing him like her life depended on it. "I want you to mark me," she said after pulling away.

Denzel felt helpless. He feared losing control and getting her pregnant when her wolf has not possessed her. "I will but not until your wolf possesses you."

Valerie was slightly disappointed, wondering if he felt the same way she felt about him. "That would be after the full moon."

"Then I will wait, but I want to see this wolf of yours by whichever means you saw her."

Valerie hugged him tightly. "There is no clear water around. We just have to use your mirror in the shower room or closet."

"There is a manmade lake," he said and rose to his feet without a break from the hug, lifting her in his arms. "Now let’s go."

"You can’t carry me there, can you? You are still weak and need rest." She felt guilty to have made him run all the way here, and now, he was still carrying her effortlessly in his arms.

"I got strength because of your trust in me. Thank you for telling me," he said honestly. Valerie buried her face in his chest as he carried her all the way to the lake.

Reaching there, he dropped her gently as they both knelt beside it. Valerie looked into the clear water and could see her image. Then she said,

"Astrid." Her image in the water changed to that of her wolf, and seeing Alpha Denzel, Astrid panicked.

"You brought him means that you told him. How could you?" Disappointment laced her tone, but Valerie could not be bothered.

"How could she not? I told her to summon you once again. She has accepted you, but before the full moon, pass this message to the moon goddess."

Alpha Denzel was the one addressing Astrid.

"Tell her that I thank her for giving my mate a stronger wolf. But also inform her that this pack would have an heir, and that would only be through Valerie. If not, Selene would lose most of her children in our world."

Astrid sounded annoyed. She was just meeting Alpha Denzel for the first time through his reflection in the water, but he was just as they described in the ethereal world.

So fearless, daring, and disrespectful. "Are you threatening the moon goddess?"

"I have said what I said. You have no right to question me because the message isn’t yours. Send it to the appropriate quarters, and I can’t wait to see you in person when the moon is full. My wolf, Brutus, is excited to meet you," Denzel smiled.

Astrid was upset, but Valerie was equally amused. Since Alpha Denzel accepted Astrid on Valerie’s behalf, she would not be able to escape.

Valerie wrapped her arms around Alpha Denzel’s neck as he carried her back to the pack house. Just as they entered the living room, a shrill tore through the pack house from Alessia’s room.

Valerie panicked. "Is she alright?"
