Adira weighed her options and realized that revealing her caller at this moment was not the best choice for her.

"I said it’s not your business," she scowled. At the moment, she couldn’t completely trust Alpha Idris when his mother was so close to Alpha Denzel. Alpha Idris frowned at her rejection of him.

"Then I guess you don’t want to be my beta."

Adira smiled and leaned close to him, asking, "What do I have to do?" With Alpha Denzel, she just had to prove her worth with her management and battle skills, but things were different with Alpha Idris.

"Simple. Warm my bed every night until I find my mate."

Adira froze for a while before pulling away from him. A slap burned Alpha Idris’s cheeks instantly, and his gaze grew darker. "What is that supposed to mean?" he growled.

The driver in front went stiff. This woman just slapped his Alpha in the face. Who did she think she was anyway? Was it because she used to be Alpha Denzel’s beta?

"Albert, nothing about this goes out," Alpha Idris spoke sternly, and the driver’s gaze on the rearview mirror shifted to the windscreen. Seeing he had been caught, guilt laced his voice.

"I’m sorry, Alpha."

Adira realized the error in her action in time and explained, "You don’t respect me. You never have. Is that all I mean to you? A whore?" It was better with Alpha Denzel who never looked at her that way than with one who would make her his bed warmer. Adira felt belittled.

Alpha Idris did not apologize, and neither did he speak about the matter anymore. He was an Alpha with a high libido. However Alpha Denzel managed to control himself in front of all those sexy she-wolves, he had no idea, but one thing was certain. He could never be like Alpha Denzel.

"We are almost at home. Decide now and let me know how to introduce you to my mom. Just so you know, she likes Luna Valeria a lot so you have a long way to go in pleasing her."

Adira smiled bitterly and murmured under her breath, "Valerie, give me a break, will you?"

As the car pulled over in front of the pack house, a tall, elegant woman stepped out. She had the beauty of a twenty-year-old but the maturity of her age, fifty years plus. A relaxed smile tugged at the corner of her lips when Alpha Idris stepped out of the car.

She smiled at him and went to embrace him but looked around curiously for Allesia. When she saw Adira instead, her smile froze.

"Where is Allessia? Why did you bring her here?" He glared at Adira. Luna Fernanda was a perfect judge of character. During her few times communicating with Adira in finding out about the whereabouts of Denzel, she figured that she wasn’t completely honest.

Adira must have led the Evergreen pack with 95% percent of honesty in her heart, but the minus 5% was a great deal to Luna Fernanda. Better be hot or cold, but Adira was lukewarm at heart.

"Relax, mom, you should never have taken that girl in. She jumped at the opportunity the moment Alpha Denzel asked her to be his beta," Alpha Idris spoke sarcastically. His mother glared at him.

The fact that she never commented on it did not mean that she was ignorant. Her character was so similar to that of Denzel. The only reason she held back from exposing Idris’ inappropriate behavior towards Allessia was because she never gave in.

Allessia was strong-headed, standing her ground to wait for her mate. Never would she allow any man who wasn’t her mate to touch her in that way, but Luna Fernanda was disturbed.

"Allessia? His beta?" Luna Fernanda mumbled under her breath, having a bad feeling about it. "Has he thought about the consequences?" She asked Alpha Idris, who stared at her with a blank expression.

"Mom, what consequence is there in being his beta? Isn’t it rather an honor?"

Luna Fernanda forced a smile. Alpha Idris would never understand even if she drew it for him. "It’s alright. I will call him, but what about Luna Valerie?"

A bitter smile lined the corner of Alpha Idris’s lips upon recollecting how bruised Valerie was when carried by Adira. "He hates her. He abuses her and won’t let me have her. He would rather give me his best," he looked in Adira’s direction, Luna Fernanda shook her head.

She was startled about the abuse part, knowing that the Denzel he knew would never abuse his mate even if he rejected her.

"Denzel would never give out his best and would never abuse his mate."

Alpha Idris was shocked and disappointed by how his mother trusted Denzel even after all that he had said. "What are you implying? Didn’t you watch the video of how he rejected her?"

Luna Fernanda looked at her son pitifully. She wished he could stop his ways with women and focus on building himself better. Denzel has always been smart, and Idris could not be compared with him when all he thinks about is the next woman to have in his bed.

How she wished that Idris would just have a bit of Denzel’s brain. "If he let her go, then she means nothing to him, and as for his rejecting of Valerie, it’s understandable, but he still won’t abuse her."

Adira’s head lowered, knowing that the woman was right. Fear grew in her heart after her short time appearing in front of Luna Fernanda. Why did she behave so much like Alpha Denzel? The woman could read her like a book.

Alpha Idris laughed mockingly. He knew what he saw, but no matter what he said, his mother would still side with Denzel.

"Mom, you are wrong. I know Allessia’s strength. She can never be compared with Adira. Also, I saw Valerie’s bruise. No one has ever been gifted with a Luna wolf like her in our time, so why didn’t she heal from all the torture? Don’t you think it was because she was tortured beyond her limit?"

Luna Fernanda went into deep thought. She couldn’t say much about Valerie, but at least she knew a lot about Allessia.

"You also forgot that Allessia is eager to learn. I tried teaching her, but I’m growing weaker with age.

You and I know that she would have even been better than you if she got the right training.

As for what happened to Valerie, I would just have to ask Denzel about it," Luna Fernanda spoke in honesty, but Alpha Idris’ gaze darkened even more.

"Tell me the truth, mom, between me and Alpha Denzel, who is your real son?"
