After everything that she had been through, I would not have expected anything less.
I waved a hand, “what does the letter say?” I asked.
I had no intentions of reading whatever Liam wrote. I just wanted to know what he wanted and get it over with.
“Well, The Alpha of the midnight pack has invited you to his mating ceremony. Apparently, he has found his mate and he wants you to be there for the big mating festival,” Lucas explained to me.
“I can send a message and let him know that you won’t be going,” Lucas suggested as he observed the look on my face.
Snow was also looking at me, both of them waiting for me to make a decision.
Shaking my head, I slowly walked out of the water.
“No, tell him, I will be there!” I said.
I really didn’t want to see the face of that bastard, but he had officially invited me.
Refusing to go would create suspicions within the packs that I rule over, raising the question of my future Luna’s past. And I didn’t need any of that right now.
“I’m not going!” A firm look settled on her face as she stared right at me. She was not backing down clearly.
My arms were folded across my chest as I watched her pace around my study.
“And why is that?” I asked her, watching her carefully.
Snow faced me, a grim look on her face. I thought she would look away and give in in a matter of seconds, but she seemed determined to hold her ground this time.
Did she really hate the idea of returning to her pack that much?
“You know why! Roman, you know what I suffered in the pack. If it wasn’t for you….I would have already died! My life there was horrible. If 1 go back, they are going to…..” I grabbed Snow’s hand, stopping her from signing.
“Do you think I would let anyone touch you? What do you take me for, Snow? Do you think I am some weak man who would let anyone take advantage of my mate?” I questioned Snow coldly, “I really need you to have trust in me, If you don’t trust me, then none of this can work out!”
Even if I didn’t care for Snow, I wouldn’t let her be bullied,
It wasn’t just about her, it was about my pride.
If I stood by and watched as she was bullied, what would that make me? What would people think of me.?
Besides, I couldn’t think of anyone who was crazy enough to pick on my mate!
Not even her brother would attempt that.

Snow shook her head softly, bowing her head to hide the look on her face.
1 sighed, feeling drained all of a sudden.
“Snow, listen to me. No one will dare to pick on you. You are my mate. My woman. They would be crazy to attempt anything. You aren’t going back there as a runt of my pack. You are going as my mate! They wouldn’t dare anything!” I said again, trying my best to assure her.
I didn’t care how many times I had to repeat the same thing, I just didn’t want Snow to be scared.
She finally looked up at me, and this time, I could tell that she was contemplating it.
“I just don’t want you to fight with my brother,” she signed.
“What?” I blinked my eyes in confusion, as I felt anger rush through me.
Was she really trying to protect her brother after all of the things he’s done to her? Was she crazy?!
“Are you really trying to protect that person? He….”
Snow took my hand immediately and shook her head.
“No, that’s not it. I just don’t want you to be in any kind of trouble because of me. Liam….I know the kind of person Liam is. He didn’t invite you just because he wants you to be there. I am sure that he’s planning something. He probably feels insulted that you took me away,” Snow explained with a mix of signing and mouthing the words.
I smiled as I started to understand her words.
“So what you’re saying is….. that you’re worried for me?” I smiled cheekily at her.
The thought of Snow worrying for me made me feel giddy inside.
1 frowned, as I caught myself softening towards her.
This wasn’t how things were supposed to go.
She was supposed to be the one falling for me…why did it feel as if one roles have been reversed??
Snow blushed and she looked away from me in embarrassment.
“I”
“Don’t worry about it Snow. Your brother is no match for me,” I assured her. \
She looked at me, a worried look on her face, and I could tell immediately that Snow did not completely believe me.
I clenched my fists tightly together and looked away to hide the anger on my face.
Just what had Liam done to her to make her this scared?!
What kind of life did she live in that pack?
“Don’t worry about anything and just come with me, as my mate…..as my future Luna”
I would give her a proper status soon…I just needed to sort everything out.
A large woman was waiting for us at the entrance of the pack house when we arrived at Midnight pack.
Her eyes landed on Snow, and I could feel Snow shrink at the sight of the woman.
I curled my lips up, instantly noticing the shift in emotions.

Was this woman one of the people who had picked on Snow here?
“Your Majesty,….I had no idea you would be showing up with…..her! ”
