“You want to know about the mate bond we share?” His words stopped me midway as I turned around to face him. I didn’t say a word as I felt my heart palpitate in anticipation. 

“Beta Perez, I…” Before I could speak, he continued. 

“I have decided to never let a woman into my life, Miss. James. I have learned long back that they only serve as a distraction. Why would I need a mate if I could have any women I want? Am I right, Miss. James?” He asked me as I felt my eyes burn, but I held back my tears. 

“A mate is your better half, Beta Perez.” I choked out the words when he let out a humorless laugh. 

“According to me, you need a mate to satisfy your needs and maybe an heir in the long run. I think I can buy that with some money, Miss. James.” 

“Don’t you feel the mate bond, Beta Perez?” I asked him, but he didn’t answer.

“I would have at least considered mating with you if you held a rank, Miss. James. But I don’t think I want a woman who is a nobody with a lonely mother and a runaway father.” I felt my chest rise and fall in anger while something broke within me. A tense silence engulfed us as we stared at one another. 

Join us in this journey where Aurora and Zander find love again as sparks ignite between them and desire crackles in the air, the tension builds, pushing them closer together. Will Zander’s feelings toward the mate bond transform as he grapples with the chemistry between them, or will fear of another heartbreak drive him to reject her? The future is uncertain, but one thing is clear: their destinies are intertwined in ways they never anticipated.

I saw the man's eyes slightly widen in shock while he frantically looked around the abandoned gas station. "How did you find that out?" he stammered when a smirk appeared on my face. 


"We have eyes everywhere. Now answer my question." I said when I stepped further inside the office and took a step closer to the man. 


"Please, Sir, I don't want to cause any issues. I am just a rogue who is trying to live a peaceful life." 


"Then why were you helping a criminal?" Alpha Garcia questioned when I saw the man's eyes widen to the size of saucers while he began to tremble like a leaf. "I know you are not as innocent as you portray yourself, rogue. You killed a human six months ago for money." Alpha Garcia said When I saw a thin layer of perspiration on his forehead.
