Zander permitted Kaiden and Tyler to return to their bedrooms shortly after Xavier entered the packhouse. Jennifer and Lena had been waiting for them for quite some time, and everyone was exhausted. Zander was on his way to his room after finishing his last round of the pack house. That's when he ran into an Omega, who was part of the cleaning crew and appeared to be waiting for him.
"Alpha, I found this phone outside the pack house," she lowered her head as she handed Zander a familiar phone. The phone appeared to be both new and expensive, so it was easy to assume that it belonged to one of the pack house's high-ranking wolves. When the Alpha waved his hand in the air as he walked upstairs, she excused herself.
He recognized the phone right away because he had been the one who had set it up for the pack's new Luna. When he noticed that someone had already called her more than 20 times, he raised his eyebrows in astonishment. Who had been making such desperate calls to her?
Zander came to a halt some distance away from his brother's door. He wondered whether Kiara had dropped the phone while attempting to escape the pack. She probably hadn't even realized that she'd dropped her phone, which could have easily been stolen. This woman had no desire for luxury items. Taking a deep breath, he began to stretch his body, then moved away towards his own room. He could return the phone in the morning since he didn't want to disrupt his brother's private time with his new Luna at the moment because he didn’t really want to think about what was going on in that room.
Kiara's phone vibrated in his palm as he got closer to his room.
"Adira," he read the name on the screen, recalling that Kiara had called her sister by that name. The melody of the unknown woman's voice as she giggled with his new sister-in-mate had resonated in his ears. He couldn't get it out of his head. He slid the phone back into his pocket before entering his room. Zander had not expected that a surprise had been waiting for him for a long time when he arrived in his room.
Frida's black eyes glowed with delight when she said, "Alpha."
Fortunately, the wait was over. The sexy blonde had already nestled on the Alpha's king-sized bed, savoring his scent that had enveloped her half-naked body, which she had purposefully left on display in order to attract the man observing her carefully.
"What are you doing here?" Zander inquired, but his gaze returned to his pocket, where the phone rang for the second time. Why had she been calling her continuously? Was it that important? But the Alpha had no intention of answering someone else's phone no matter what.
"Zander, I've been missing you. I feel so lonely today." Frida blinked up at him in an attempt to appear innocent, which only caused Zander to scowl. Frida was his father's Gamma's daughter, and she grew up with twins, Kaiden, and Tyler. She'd nearly slept with every unmated guy in the pack, so her newfound innocence made no sense. It was just another ruse to persuade the Alpha to alter his mind and worm her way into his bed.
"Didn't I tell you to stop coming to my room, Frida?" Zander arched his eyebrows without using his Alpha tone, leaving his room door open for her to depart.
"I could not stop myself," the woman's voice was sweet and soft, but it was quickly ignored by the man, who went to the table rather than the bed, as was expected. Adira had called once more.
"Then you must learn to control yourself. I'm too tired tonight, leave my room, "Zander ordered firmly. Setting Kiara's phone on the table, he then turned back to view the she-wolf, who had already climbed out of bed and gently pushed Zander against the wall.
"I've come here to serve you so that I can help relieve your weariness." Frida's hungry gaze pierced his emerald one as she ran her delicate fingers over his chest. Evan, Zander's wolf, hissed as he realized this she-wolf was emitting her scent as usual. She had far too many tricks up her sleeves to assist her in enticing a man. She had already unbuttoned his shirt before he realized what she was up to.
"Don't!" He grabbed her both hands.
"Why?"
"Because I said so. Frida, you should quit sleeping around with other guys now. Wait for your mate to come into your life, otherwise, he will just despise you," Zander advised. He let go of her hand in the hope that she would understand, but she moved her fingers down towards his cock.
"I don't need my mate. Zander, I just want you. Please take me!" She smashed her lips against his without warning. Zander's cock began to react and harden as a result of the attention she had been giving his chest and lips. Evan, his wolf, also began to lose his wits and began to kiss her back. Frida had been successful in seducing the Alpha, who had not touched a woman or had sex for a long time. She had already unzipped his pants and was fantasizing about pulling that monster out and eagerly putting it in her mouth. But Zander opened his eyes and came back to his senses as Kiara's phone vibrated again. He stared at it after breaking the kiss. "What's wrong?" The she-wolf asked while panting for air, hating his fixation on the bothersome phone rather on her half-naked body. It had stolen his attention. Who the heck was calling her man? She directed a venomous glare at the phone before turning his face back to her. "Zander, ignore it. Let's keep going. Tonight, I'm entirely yours." She dropped the remain of her clothing to the floor, displaying her assets and capturing his lips once again. The Alpha closed his eyes, attempting to concentrate on the fire rising in his body, but the vibrating phone was too distracting.
“Fuck! This whore is disgusting!!!” Evan roared. He was appalled by the woman's lips on him and rejected her touch.
"No, don't!" Zander moved her hand away and then pushed her back a bit, keeping a safe distance between them. Evan was becoming perturbed as a result of her proximity.
"What's wrong with you Zander?” she asked, catching herself before she fell on the floor as she noticed that the Alpha's gaze had been drawn back to the phone. “Tell me, Zander,” Frida insisted, placing her hand on his back.
“Don't touch me, Frida!” he warned, pushing her hand away.
"I don't understand you anymore, Zander. We slept together a month ago, and now you keep telling me that I should focus on finding my man, but you know I love you," she grumbled, wanting to smash the phone into a million pieces. She had already noticed a woman's name on the screen who had been keeping the Alpha away from her. That bitch! Who was she?!
"We just had sex once! Don't act like you're my personal sex toy. And, as you were well aware, from the start, it was all about sex. There was no love, " Zander responded solemnly. How dare she act like his personal whore? The Alpha and his Wolf hated women like her. This woman was definitely putting his wolf to the test. Touching her and having sex with her had been a tremendous disaster for Evan, who had not forgiven himself since his cravings had driven him insane. Frida had thrown herself at him since he couldn't find another woman to fuck. Zander had only slept with the blonde once but she had still felt the need to disclose her true feelings to him. She would come in front of him again and again to seek his attention, but he ignored her entirely, which had led to her already waiting for him in bed tonight.
"You may not love me, but I do you," she stated obstinately. When she used the word ‘love’, Zander, who had run out of patience, clenched his palm in order to avoid snapping her neck. She was a gold digger, and one of those she-wolves was just after him for Luna's status, fortune, and his body. That's all. The greed in her eyes was easily recognizable.
"That's great. As I said, I don't love you. Now get out of here and go screw someone else," he snapped, stepping away from the phone.
“You don't love me, but do you really love anyone?” Frida's eyes darkened as she bit her bottom lip in reprisal. Zander ceased listening to her but did not look back. She began to act like a bitch once more like she always did. Things might have been different if he hadn't vowed to take care of her to her dying father. "You have no idea how to love, Zander. You and I are the same person. You only fuck," she crossed her arms over her chest but took a step back when she observed Zander's eyes darkening.
"Don't talk bullshit with me!" He growled. Her father, who had been a devoted man and a great Gamma to the previous Alpha, had known of his daughter's whorish conduct and had begged Zander to look after her before he had perished in a battle. Xavier, who was well aware of her slutty behavior, never allowed her shadow to fall over him. However, Zander couldn't ignore her because they had been childhood friends, yet she had forgotten her place just now. "You let your big mouth run wild just because we were friends?! How dare you comment on my personal life and love life?" Zander clenched his teeth, reminding himself that she was a woman and that he should not raise his hand to her. Evan wanted to rip her apart for claiming they didn't know how to love! Frida shivered with terror, knowing that he was keeping his wolf in check out of kindness, but she vowed not to give up today. Xavier had already chosen a mate, which had made the blonde anxious. Zander might possibly pick a mate, in which case she would be removed from his life. Her gaze returned to the buzzing phone. She needed to take action. She couldn't allow that unknown bitch to take away her Luna position. She can not take her Zander and Alpha from her.
"Why? Is the truth a bitter pill to swallow? You don't love anybody, Zander, and as a result, you haven't found your soul mate. You are just interested in me. I love you... AAHH!” She hadn't been able to finish her sentence as she screamed, and bit her lip as her hair was yanked by the Alpha who had lost his patience. “Zan…” Her eyes watered but she could not call him by his name anymore.
“How dare you! Don't forget your place, Frida! Just because I'm kind to you doesn't imply that I'll put up with your disrespect. You will only be able to address me by my title from now on, and I dare you to enter my room! I'll let my wolf eat you whole in front of the entire pack. If you don't want to see how truly harsh I can be, get out!." Zander jerked her hair, shoving her away towards the door. She received a lethal final warning that jolted her to her core. She nodded, her face flushed with dread. She had detected the contempt in his eyes for just one reason: he had slept with her once. There was no chance he would repeat the same blunder.
Zander bothered looking at the wailing blonde who was gathering up her clothing from the floor while crying crocodile tears. What a performance! She didn't cry easily! She tried to attract his attention by pretending to be pitiful, but Zander slammed the bathroom door behind his back, venting his rage on it.
He reflected on the last time that he had been that outraged. He hadn't chosen to take a bath before going to bed earlier. He only wanted to throw his exhausted body on the bed and sleep, but instead, he stood under a cold shower to relieve his stored rage. He didn't have much influence over Evan just now. He was feeling exceedingly violent, and agitated, and had been rejecting every female wolf's contact. He'd go insane as soon as he caught a whiff of their fragrance, their mere presence near the Alpha Wolf now bothered both the wolf and human.
Zander sought to figure out what was causing his wolf's unusual behavior, but Evan was similarly perplexed. He couldn't think of an appropriate reason. The Wolf began to openly express his latent aggressive nature after making the mistake of sleeping with Frida, which had not been Zander's tendency to fuck any random woman. Their need for female companionship had brought them to that whorish bitch.
But when Frida started pointing out his mate, she hadn't realized that she had been rubbing salt in the Alpha wolf's deepest wound. The wolf was already frustrated about not having a mate whenever Grandpa's taunts pierced their ears. Evan despised Frida even more for bringing up their unidentified partner. Zander stopped for a few seconds, supposing that his wolf's unusual attitude could be the cause of his being mateless. Yes, he had been aggressive due to that sly woman's touch and kiss. But when she emphasized his being matless and not knowing how to love, Evan lost patience and pulled her hair until she shrieked. He had been ready to yank her hair out of her scalp if she said anything else. At the time, she appeared to be nothing more than an enemy whom they wished to eliminate. Wait! What lame shitty justifications and thoughts he'd been using to figure out his wolf's unusual behavior. Mate? Zander let out a snarl that reverberated throughout the bathroom. How could she make such comments? That bitch truly made him think about something so insignificant. What a waste of time. He had lost his precious time thinking about a woman who had forgotten to be born!
"Hello," Zander's ears perked up as soon as he heard the same lovely melodic voice that sounded like honey from that woman. Were his ears ringing? Or was he hallucinating? He heard the voice he had been trying to forget.
"Pay attention to what I'm saying. Noah has learned that I am still in contact with you, and I have no doubt he will go to new unprecedented levels to prove it to Dad. As a result, it is no longer safe for both of us to communicate using this number. I'll text you my new phone number. Now that I've let you know, I'll destroy this sim card as soon as possible, so don't be concerned if I don't pick up your call or message from this number. Did you understand what I was saying..." Adira explained quietly, avoiding uttering her younger sister's name, so Noah wouldn't know if her phone was being traced. She was in a tight spot since her insane brother's spy was now snooping around her room. She needed to warn Kiara before she changed her phone number, otherwise, her younger sister would stress out.
"I totally understand you bitch!" Adira heard a woman say something terribly toxic, which surprised her because she knew it hadn’t been her sister, but the number she dialed was correct. But before the frowning Aidra could say something, the blonde sneered. "What happened? Are you scared of hearing my voice?!" Frida burst out laughing. She had taken the phone before leaving his room. She had reconsidered it a thousand times before stealing it, and her body was shivering at the mere thought of being caught. She wouldn't be caught now that she was in the hallway. He would not come out of his bathroom anytime soon. She could go back and put it back before he came out. Despite the warning, she had done this out of jealousy in order to remind his whore of her status.
How could she keep calling her man?! She destroyed her plan and her night. The blonde chick had previously thought that the unknown woman was attempting to steal the Alpha from her, and that she was the reason he had been pushing her out of his life. But she was not going to accept defeat. Noah must be her lover or spouse, and this scumbag must be having an affair behind his back. She'd rather evict this whore from the Alpha's life. Zander was hers alone! She would be his Luna.
"Who are you? Where is my…"
"I am the Alpha’s woman!” Adira started to ask about Kiara but was cut off by Frida, who triumphantly lied to the befuddled she-wolf.
"And you are a bitch that is attempting to steal my man! How dare you think you can replace me, ha? He's mine, and he's in the shower right now after our bout of rough sex. He'd never be interested in you. He's mine...... Aahhh!!" Frida’s face was slammed into the nearby wall by a large hand that had nearly crushed her face. She felt as if her cheekbone was cracked. The pain was unbearable. “Alpha…” Unfortunately, she could not even scream or beg for mercy as Zander’s large hand had covered her mouth as well.
“How dare you!” Zander roared as he dug his claws into her cheek. He had no clue she'd execute such a daring stunt as stealing the phone from his room. He heard all the nonsense she had spewed. Frida and her wolf shook as they sensed Zander's enraged aura, which was already charged to destroy them. Frida lost her shit when she realized that he had heard her lying and insulting Adira. But how did he discovered it? She had been so far away, it would have been hard for him to hear her. Her hands could no longer hold on to the phone and she let it fall to the floor before Zander snatched it up, placing it to his ear. “Hello,” he tried to converse with the woman on the other end of the phone. His tone conveyed authority and dominance. Adira remained silent for a few seconds, yet her breath was calm and appealing.
“She said that the Alpha is hers but you are not Alpha Xavier…” Adira's perplexed voice was the first thing Zander heard. How had she figured that out? Despite the fact that Zander had the same voice as Xavier, the woman on the other end could distinguish between the two of them. Could the reason was definitely that she had met Xavier?
“I am…” Zander was going to introduce himself when Adira interrupted him because she had already used up all of her time.
"Whoever you are, warn your woman never to steal my sister's belongings again. It would be disastrous for her if Kiara discovered she had offended me. I'd let it go, but I doubt Kiara would," Adira cautioned, revealing a side of her sister's personality that the Sirius Bright Pack had yet to discover.
“I…”
"And one more thing, Mr., offer your mistress assurance that I will not steal you from her. There's no way I'd steal a man who has a whore with him."
Adira ended the conversation, infuriating and offending the Alpha. Had she, inadvertently, referred to him as a man whore?! She did not even bothered to listen to his explanation. Zander muttered angrily, staring and yanking back the blonde who had ruined his reputation. For the first time in his life Zander had accepted being offended by the big-mouthed she-wolf, but it was quite another to be dubbed a man whore.
“Alpha, I am sorry,” Frida screamed in agony as he nearly ripped her scalp off. Her back slapped his chest as he drew her closer to him, his head lower to her ear so she could understand the implications of her fucking with his life.
“Be ready to be banished from my pack, Frida…”
