Alpha Denzel stiffened slightly. This was what he wanted but could not help being afraid that Valerie would be mated to anyone who wasn't him.
Then again, she would have shifted if she indeed had her wolf back. 'Then why did she not shift when I did?' He asked Brutus, the beast was equally clueless.
'I don't know. This is not the same wolf she had before. This is not our rejected mate,' Brutus said to his stupor.
He glanced at Valerie in his arms, humming a few tunes absentmindedly. 'You mean she has a new wolf? Is it stronger or weaker?'
'Much stronger. To my level. More like a female Alpha wolf kind of. Sadly, she does not recognize me,' Brutus revealed, it broke Alpha Denzel's heart.
Did it mean that all his sacrifices were in vain? When that spirit faked the bond with him, even without knowing, Alpha Denzel could never accept any other woman who was not Valerie.
