Alpha Kodak’s POV
I couldn’t shake the strange feeling that lingered after everything that transpired on our wedding day. Intense jealousy consumed me, and for the first time, fear gripped me
I feared someone might claim her with a mate bond, rendering our contract meaningless. I feared she might be unable to break the mate bond and alter the terms, making our shared existence and bond through our pup insignificant.

Luna Lovette was undeniably beautiful, the most stunning she–wolf I had ever encountered, but she possessed a resilience that exceeded my expectations for my mate.

The kiss was more than I had anticipated, meant to leave a lasting impression on her. As our own astonishment.

It was my first kiss that I had freely given, and I was at a loss for what to do next. Had she bewitched me in some way? I had completely lost control Only when she attempted to push me away did I seem to instinctively understand her intentions, catching her hand and holding it above her head. Her teeth were grined together, showing resistance to the kiss, and I had forgotten one important self–defense. I thought I had her with her hand pinned above her head, but Lovette was a warrior, and not even the pregnancy could weaken her.
Pain shot through my groin from her kick, and she topped it off with a harsh slap.

Lovette was tougher than even my beta Raul and most Alphas I’ve fought. The re pup or let her have him or her.
“Don’t ever do that again,” her words snapped me out of my thoughts as she wiped her mouth and warned me seriously, but I was upset.
“We are getting married, and even if it’s just a contract, we still have to kiss and make it real. I told you we have to act better,” I tried to deflect, but she wasn’t fooled.
“Pretense should be when there are people around, not when we are alone. Don’t think anything can develop between us. This is just a contract, she spar coldly.
It began to dawn on me. Her bond with Alpha Mason was causing her to detest me. I wasn’t particularly fond of her either, as I still felt drawn to Zerva, but I was willing to make it work for the sake of our pup.
When I proposed marriage during our first meeting, I meant it. I wanted to make the sackifice for my pup, though I didn’t love her, or feel a bond between ul
The contract was a suggestion because she didn’t love me either. The only mutual thing between us was the fact that we did not loathe each other but interacted as stranger.
As she reached the door, I quickly blocked her way. We couldn’t go out looking upset with each other.
“We are going to have a pup together, which means that whoever comes out on top, the other will will be in their life. If I win, you will still have the right to our pup, and vice versa, so think carefully before considering anything with Alpha Mason”
“This is the same reason I broke up with Zerva, as things would never work between me and her when I was going to have a pup with you
She appeared to be deep in thought, confusion evident on her face. We were both torn between the people we shared a bond with, yet our pup kept

“Lintend to uphold my end of the deal and would appreciate it if you do the same,” she said, her tone no longer upset, and I was relieved that she agreed to honor the agreement

Even after our pup is born, I don’t think it would be right to see the mother of my child getting married or mated to someone else.

I had never considered it from that perspective before, but today’s events made me reflect on it. Zeeva was the only woman I felt attracted to, so if I could let her go because of Lovette, then perhaps there was a chance for us to be together because of our pup, right?
What if my feelings for Lovette also fade after our pup is born? The more I pondered this, the more confused I became, but she reached out and held my hand.
‘For the sake of our pup, let’s do this,” she said.
I smiled, squeezing her soft hand which was oddly painful when she slapped me. Jaguar refused to help me with the pain so my cheeks were still burning, just as my groin.
“I hope I don’t get hit in the groin again. That really hurts, 1szid honestly.
She chuckled, and at that moment, I felt a strong connection to her. However, I noticed that I only missed my pup when she was not around, not
her.
“Just promise me a kiss is all we’ll share, and you’ll be fine,” she said.

Since she didn’t agree not to hit me, I knew I had to behave Walking back hand in hand with smiles on our faces, we received cheers from the

I couldn’t help but steal glances at the two men who had almost taken the mother of my pup away from me.
Alpha Jephthah seemed ready to erupt like a volcano, and for some reason, it pleased me to see him like that. On the other hand, Alpha Mason appeared sorrowful,
Zerva had deceived me. She claimed to be the rejected one, but it turned out she was the one who rejected her mate.
Fortunately, I had already ended things with her and had no intention of being with her after what her father did to me and her lic
If she had accepted her mate, Alpha Mason wouldn’t be so hurt now,
“I assume you have both come to a decision, Alpha Kodak and Laina Lovette, the officiating minister said. I nodded and looked at Lovette. To avoid making things seem forced, I wanted her to be the one to speak.
“Yes, let’s proceed with the ceremony,” she said.
Seeing Raul and Embry so happy warmed my heart. It pained me that Raul had taken a liking to Embry from the moment he saw her, even though they weren’t mates.
The worst part was that Embry had found her mate. Lovette was still unaware of this, and I wondered how she would react
1.Alpha Kodak Baxter, take you, Luna Lovette, as my beloved wife and Luna, to love and cherish until death do us part, I recited after the officiating minister, gazing at her.
*I, Luna Lovette Ember, take you, Alpha Kodak, as my beloved husband and Alpha, to love and cherish until death do us part”
The excitement of our pack members warmed my hean deeply, as I had never seen therrgo happy.
My parents appeared to be the happiest in the world, confirming that I had made the right decision.
“With the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride and Luna, the officiating minister announced.
I hesitated due to the earlier kick, but Lovette revealed a side of her that I never knew existed, stunning everyone present. The cheers and applause grew louder.
