So, Aiden and Ruby were the new alpha and luna now? This was news for them.


    “I only know about this,” Hunter said lightly, as he wiped his sweat. He didn’t seem bothered by this


    news, but he nced at Lc to see her reaction.


    It was whether she didn’t care or she was an expert to hide her own feeling, but he believed it was the


    former, since she was not good at lying.


    “Yes, Aiden took the title of alpha from his father around two days ago from the rumor that I heard.”


    “Why? Alpha James wanted an early retirement?” Hunter put on his clothes and then took Lc’s hand,


    as the three of them walked back to the pack house.


    “I don’t know, I think there is an internal conflict within their pack. I am not sure. You are not interested


    with what happened there, so I don’t put an effort to find out more.” Rye shrugged his shoulders


    nonchntly.


    He was right.


    After that information, Hunter walked Lc back to their bedroom and then went to arrange the meeting


    with his beta and gamma, while she took a bath.


    Hunter returned at night when Lc was about to go to the dining hall to get eat her dinner.


    “Let’s have dinner together inside, there is something I want to talk about with you,” Hunter said. It was


    very rare to see how he looked very serious like right now.


    Confused, Lc blinked her eyes and asked him about what was going on and what he wanted to talk


    about.


    “I believed I have made myself very clear,” Hunter started. He stopped talking when two servants


    entered the room and brought their dinner. They put a lot of food on the table between the two of them


    and immediately scurried away.


    Lc had wanted to ask Raya about why people looked very scared with Hunter, because she got this


    vibe whenever she walked with him. People would lower their head and tried to avoid his eyes, but


    when they thought Hunter was no longer aware of their existence, they would secretly nce at him


    with this sheepish smiled on their l*ps. This happened only to female shifters, while male shifters would


    look very respectful.


    Lc didn’t think Hunter was a scary alpha, but people around her acted like he


    was one.


    “What do you want to talk about?” Lc asked, she looked very beautiful and charming after she


    washed herself from dirt and dust after their training, Hunter could smell her fresh scent and this


    burned his throat.


    “You are my woman, Lc, but there is one way to assert your title.” Hunter stared at Lc, from her


    beautiful eyes down to her slender neck. “I need to mark no one would dare to say otherwise when I


    im you as my woman.”


    you, so


    His voice was clear and concise, but it didn’t deter the heavy meaning behind it at all.


    Hunter wanted her, he had made it very clear since the very beginning that he wanted her as his


    woman, as his mate, if Lc put it into her understanding.


    She knew this moment woulde and she thought she was ready, but when she was faced with this


    question, her heart was thumping wildly.


    It didn’t mean Lc didn’t want Hunter. No, she wanted him. She wanted this man, who had saved her


    a few times, someone that belonged to her. Someone that she could call as hers.


    But then, she couldn’t help, but became really nervous. Her face turned very red.


    Why she felt like her heart was going out of her chest? The food in front of her was no longer


    appetizing anymore.


    “So, what do you want to do?” Lc was d her voice didn’t falter, because it would be pretty


    embarrassing if she was shaking when she asked this obvious question.


    “I want to mark you. I want to im you as mine.” Hunter stood up and Lc prayed he wouldn’t hear


    her beating heart when he knelt down in front of her and took her hand. “I didn’t want to rush you, but I


    think I have waited enough for you to open your heart for me. I want to im you as my woman before


    our meeting with your former pack.”


    “Why so?” Lc narrowed her eyes. “Is it because you heard Aiden stepped in as the alpha?”


    Hunter lifted his head and stared at Lc straight into her eyes, as if he could read what was in her


    mind and this made her flustered. “Not really, but that might be one of the reasons.”


    “And what is your main reason?” Lc felt a little bit disappointed because Hunter considered that as


    his reason.


    “I want you.” Hunter didn’t avert his eyes. “I want you to be mine, fully. I want to im you so bad since


    the first time I finally found you. I really want you and your only.”

    This blunt answer left Lc speechless, because she didn’t think this would be hist


    main reason.


    Hunter might not realize it, but what he had done and what he had said with all. honesty made Lc’s


    heart felt very warm.


    After what Aiden had done to her and the audacity he showed her by bringing along his pregnant


    woman and asked her to stay after he kicked her out of the pack, thinking by doing that, he would make


    her caved in and ept him again, since she didn’t have anywhere to go.


    But, probably Lc would ept that if Hunter didn’t offer to take her into his pack. She couldn’t


    imagine how she would be if she had to stay there and epted. her fate.


    “Can you say something? I really want to k*ss you, but I am sure, you will be mad at me, if I did without


    your permission again.”


    Lc chuckled and leaned over to k*ss him instead.
