News traveled faster than the wind itself in the West Wood Pack. Naturally, the fact that Kael had been discussing his terms of his mateship with the alpha princess of the Night Ridge Pack quickly spread like wildfire. Eventually, it reached the houses of the other alpha princes. Lorenzo, for one, was having breakfast when he heard the news from Rui. He stood up quickly from his seat. “What? He’s taking another mate?” he asked, aghast. Rui, Lorenzo’s beta, patiently explained what he gathered. “Alpha Prince, there’s nothing we can do about this,” Rui insisted. “And about the rogue, nothing has been confirmed about their mateship either.” Lorenzo spun to look at him. “Are you saying he still hasn’t marked Naya?” “Well… About that, everyone believes they have already bonded,” Rui said.
