The Sea-Den Alpha’s Betrayed MateChapter 1

My consort's secret scent-mate took advantage of my absence from the territory to brazenly move into my pack estate. He wore my clothes, drank from my private reserve of aged moonwine, and dared to dream of climbing into my bed to claim my mate.

What he didn't expect was that my foster-dam caught him in the act. She sent word for me to return immediately. When I arrived, I had my enforcers strip the clothes from his body and snap one of his legs before throwing him out beyond the territory markers.

When my consort learned what happened, she didn't blame me at all. Instead, she slapped herself across the face and apologized to me: "I'm sorry, my Alpha. I only supported him because I pitied his circumstances. I never imagined he would try to take your place, nearly causing such disaster. I'll have him driven from the city at once and ban him from ever returning."

Since my consort admitted her wrongdoing so readily, I forgave her. She didn't disappoint me either, devoting herself completely to playing the role of a perfect mate.
