"What is it? Did sothing happen?" Alina asked in an anxious tone, suspecting sothing was wrong since I had called her urgently.

"I need you to do sothing for , Alina. Will you be able to do it?" I asked.
Alina looked at for a few seconds before nodding.
"If it’s in my power and reach, I will," She said.
I asked her to anonymously ssage the royals that the original prince was back, and the surprise on her face indicated how big this was going to be.
"And–" I paused.
"And?" She asked.
"Can you bring a strand of King’s hair? I need to run a DNA test before making big claims," I said.
Alina understood what I was trying to do here, and she nodded.
"The work will be done within ten minutes. By the ti you reach the pack, I’ll drop the things off at your place. You can ask the doctor to get things ready," Alina assured , and I smiled.
"I knew I could trust you with this. Thank you," I said, and she smiled before caressing the back of my hand.
She looked into my eyes and sighed.
"Valencia, though I lied about my identity to you, none of the emotions I showed you were fake," she smiled.
"You are really important to , and I see you as more than a friend. As a witch princess, you are the first true friend I ever made who stuck with even when she knew she would get in trouble because of , and it ans a lot to . I will do anything to help you anyti and anywhere," Alina added.
I knew she was telling the truth. I could feel it.
My wolf never received any negative vibes from her, which is why I trusted her story, too.
"I know. Don’t worry. I don’t suspect your friendship or loyalty to ," I smiled, and she nodded before disappearing into thin air.
I left the cafe and sat inside the car before telling Bora to go straight to the pack.
"Madam, by the way, if you don’t mind asking, why does the rogue head respect you so much?" Bora asked as she drove.
I raised my brows at her.
"What makes you think he respects ?" I asked her.
She looked at through the rearview mirror before smiling.
"You don’t know about it? The place you visited is one of the secret dens of the rogue head of the northern regions, and you are the first non-rogue wolf to go there with their permission and co out unscathed," Bora explained.
I humd before looking out the window, thinking about everything that would turn upside down for the people who crossed .
"Sotis, an act of kindness can take you to places," I answered after so ti. She looked at briefly before resuming her driving, not saying anything.
Once we reached the pack, she was about to take straight to Maverick’s private house when I saw a group gathered near the west borders from where we were entering.
"What’s happening there?" I asked, and Bora cleared her throat.
She didn’t stop the car. Instead, she increased the speed, which I found pretty odd.
Why did it look like they didn’t want to be a part of whatever was happening there?
Could sothing happen in the pack while I was gone? Was that the reason why Maverick sounded so anxious on the phone?
I didn’t say anything to Bora, making a ntal note to ask Maverick about what was happening because I wanted to be a part of this pack and participate in its hardships and happiness.
After so ti, our cars stopped near Maverick’s private house, and I smiled at Bora before stepping out.
"Thank you for your assistance today," I said to her. I was about to turn around when I felt his intoxicating presence behind .
Due to the mark we share and our strengthening bond, we feel each other’s presence more easily, and I find this a good thing.
If it had been my previous self with so many secrets, I would’ve surely had a problem, but now when, I have opened up to each other about almost everything.
"I missed you," Maverick said, placing a chaste kiss on my mark. I blushed, knowing more than twenty people were looking at us.
"Maverick -" I started, but he tightened his hold on .
"What did we decide that you would be calling ? Where is my favorite nickna?" He asked, and I couldn’t help but chuckle.
"Mmm, my cutie patootie baby," I said.
I felt Maverick’s hand freeze on my waist and suppressed the urge to be smug.
I thought this na would catch him off guard and cause him to leave , but to my surprise, he lifted in his arms instead and looked at his people with pride.
"You heard her. I am her baby," he said confidently, and I blushed at his words. Everyone smiled and chuckled before nodding, making feel even shier than before.
Uhhh... why do I have to act smart with him when I know these things don’t really affect him?
"Let’s go inside. I have news," I told him, and he understood what I was talking about.
He took inside without wasting another second.
"So? What did you find out?" He asked as he sat on the couch, placing on his lap with his hands wrapped around .
Seriously, personal space is a bluff in front of people like Maverick, and it was strange how a person like , who used to like her company, has found herself bending to his ways.
If he liked keeping near, I wanted to be attached to him; if he wanted to make love to , I tried to open my legs with consent; heck, if he would tell there was a ritual that would write us eternity today, I would sign the deal to perform it with him not matter what kind of sacrifice it took.
"I love you," I said, not knowing how to tell him how safe I felt in his arms. He kissed my forehead.
After a sigh, I told him everything that happened there, and once I was done with my story, he humd.
"That explains why I found this in the living room earlier," he said, pulling out a small ziplock bag containing a few strands of hair.
I nodded at him.
Alina must’ve done her work already.
"Can you arrange the DNA test with soone reliable enough to give us the correct information in the least amount of ti?" I asked.
Maverick licked his bottom, and my gaze averted to his pink lips, his pink hue tempting and giving weird ideas.
My fists tightened around his shirt involuntarily, and he looked down at hungrily.
"There is indeed a doctor I can trust," He said.
He imdiately called one of his n, and I saw Cazer enter.
He averted his gaze when he saw us and bowed to us.
Maverick handed him the different hair samples and asked him to take them to the doctor in the hospital.
"Okay, sir," Cazer left after bowing to .
I looked at Maverick with raised brows.
"Why did Cazer Bow to both of us when he ca but only to when he left? It’s just not him. People have been giving two bows when I asked them not to bow to at all. They were like my new family," I asked Maverick.
He shrugged as if he didn’t know, sighing when I glared at him.
"Fine. It’s not my idea, I promise. They just want to show you more gratitude because you have chosen to stay with us rather than go to the Hazel Moon pack when you have a clear choice to be the Luna and ruling alpha or another pack. They know you are an Alpha by blood," Maverick said.
I didn’t like the sound of it.
I could see they were grateful, but I wanted to create a healthy environnt around us.
"But..." I started. However, Maverick stopped by placing his lips on mine.
"Besides, I personally think you deserve twice the respect I get. First, for being my woman and soone akin to their mother, and second, for being so aweso," he said, peppering with soft kisses. I giggled when he started tickling , making my heart fill with pure happiness and bliss.
