Aaron entered his room. There was nothing else he could do but obey Malvin and Leon. It wasn't that Aaron was a weak Alpha. He could have rebelled and killed Malvin and Leon in one attack, but he didn't. Aaron could have been the worst alpha in the world for killing the guardian beta in his pack.
"Did dad and grandpa used to be treated like this before becoming leaders?!" growled Aaron and slammed the door.
The emotions he has felt these days have made him angry more often. Not because Aaron didn't like to be made a prince and the strongest candidate to be the leader, but because he was not given freedom after being made a prince. Including choosing his mate.
"I have to get out of the house and bring Aricia," Aaron muttered.
'Don't mess around, or I'll lock you up forever, Aaron.'
Aaron growled, hearing a mind-link from Sadie—his mother. He could confirm that Sadie was close to home now, and his sense of smell could now smell the foreign scents that were getting closer.
'Mother, I don't want to meet that person. I've found my mate.' Aaron answered Sadie's mind link.
'You are the prince. Use your brain. Moon goddess has already outlined who your mate is, and you can't possibly find anyone other than the one destined for you, Aaron.'
'But—'
'I'll be there soon, don't do anything, or I'll send you to hell.'
And Sadie's remarks were so firmly heard in Aaron's head. Again, the young alpha growled irritably. It's been these few days that everyone in his pack has always been watching and making him feel upset. He, who has always been free to hunt or fight rogues, must now stay home and accept painful teachings. Being the pack's leader was difficult for him, who had just felt the power of alpha. He can't control his emotions and strength, constantly attacking anyone if the 'strange taste' arises. Panic, worry, pain, and fear became one in Aaron's head, which is why Malvin and Leon are now special guardian betas for him. His authority is indeed higher than that of Malvin and Leon. However, still, his ability to control power needs guidance.
And before long, Aaron could hear the roar of the car Jacob was driving. His sense of smell is getting sharper and sharper at foreign smells. Aaron frowned, he was unfamiliar with this smell, but somehow his feelings were comfortable. No, this is different from the surface when smelling Aricia's pheromone. It's very different.
Malvin and Leon stood guard in the living room, both of whom approached to greet the queen of her pack.
"Where's Aaron?" asked Sadie to Malvin and Leon.
"Aaron is in his room, your majesty," Malvin replied politely.
From inside the living room, a woman can be seen running with a napkin. Jasmine the only gamma to be Sadie's cook and confidant.
"Your Majesty, I have already prepared the room you asked for," Jasmine said.
Sadie didn't answer, turning to Jacob holding Lily, who was still bleeding from her nose.
"Take it to the room. Follow Jasmine." Sadie spoke commandingly.
Jacob nodded respectfully and immediately followed Jasmine, half-running towards the living room.
"How is Aaron? Is he injured? Or meet up with rogues and hunters?" asked Sadie on the two guardian betas.
"Aaron is fine, your majesty," Leon replied concisely. "The wound is healed. It seems he met another wolf in the forest and treated him."
Hearing the answer from Leon now made Sadie squint slightly. "The wound is healed? Impossible."
Malvin and Leon glanced at each other, confused by what Sadie said this time. No longer asking or talking, Sadie now stepped towards Aaron's room. She was leaving behind the two beta guard packs, now sculpting in confusion.
Not long after Sadie's departure, a reasonably noisy little bell sounded.
"Excuse me! I have to treat our omega. Excuse me!"
Exclamation sounded and made Malvin turn his head as a small creature the size of a middle finger entered through a door that had not been completely closed. Behind her back are wings that move quickly, making her soar in the air. Her tiny hands looked like they were struggling to carry a basket that contained nothing, leaving her repeatedly on the verge of falling. Still, her wings forced her to keep flying.
"Excuse me!" She exclaimed and flew past Malvin's face—enough to make the guardian beta sneeze.
"Damn fairy!" cursed Malvin.
Unexpectedly, the little winged creature returned, kicking Malvin in the nose.
"You're the fucking one, and you should have helped me!" She exclaimed.
Malvin cursed again, both hands raised about to pat the little fairy-like mosquitoes, but Leon held his hands back.
"Forgive Malvin, Rachel. You can meet Sadie right away," Leon said with a smile.
The little fairy called Rachel is now shaking off her hair. "I don't want to forgive stupid beta like Malvin," Rachel said.
Malvin cursed, wanting to advance towards Rachel, but Leon again held his back. "Oh, come on, you guys always fight! This is not the time for that. Lady Sadie brought someone over; it seemed she was Aaron's mate, and things weren't okay. You can meet her in the guest room, Rachel."
Rachel nodded, not answering Leon's words. The elf flew directly to the room Leon was referring to.
Leon took a deep breath, hitting Malvin on the shoulder. "You're crazy? Always fighting with Rachel, it's always noisy and annoying. You should be able to be more patient, and she was Aaron's nanny since childhood."
"Fuck that. I should have put her in the bottle not to bother me anymore."
Leon rolled his eyes. That's always what he heard when discussing Rachel. He doesn't know why this partner is sensitive to cute fairies like Rachel.

Sadie entered Aaron's room, where she had now crowned prince Heracles who was sitting on his bed. Uncharacteristically welcoming Sadie with respect, Aaron seemed to be silent with an annoyed look at his mother.
"Aaron, you have to help your mate," Sadie said.
"She's not my mate, Mom. I don't want to have a human mate. I want a mate from our kingdom," Aaron replied, denying the mother.
"If you can choose, I will also choose the same thing. But this can't work, the moon goddess has already chosen, and it can't be changed." Sadie followed.
Her eyes seemed to light up electric blue, significantly inversely proportional to his son, who had red eyes but looked dim. There has been no courage to oppose the mother even though Aaron is alpha. Deep in his heart, the young alpha still respected and obeyed whatever Sadie said.
"Accept your fate-mate, Aaron. Even though she's human, when you heal her, she'll be a part of us," Sadie said in a quieter tone.
"Still, it will make my descendants weak because they are not born of wolf pureblood." Aaron lowered his head, increasingly squeezing his voice.
Sadie let out a long breath, now walking closer towards Aaron. Her electric blue eyes looked so lit and commanding.
"You are a wolf born of pure blood. Your strength is huge, Aaron. And you're still worried that your child will be weak?" asked Sadie.
"Mom, that's indeed the truth, let alone what you brought is a weak human being who is about to die, I—"
"No. Lily is not that weak, and she is not a mortal. He can become a scarce omega who appears only once in a thousand years. I know Lily next. She is a scarce omega."
