Before Raina could even 0879be5d17 finish her sentence, Emilia 4e021acea7 had already stepped outside.d292290dd8de9460
Grand Duke Kaithan 0edaa32fe3 had been drinking 63e13ec960 wine nonstop, trying 61e5da840b to endure an c046add568 increasingly unbearable headache.
But now, 25ce705b63 the headache bb78281949 wasn’t the d027634fc5 real issue. A burning pain 2f187a467e had taken over d1f27a8117 his entire body, 27ed990a47 starting from his b844a4d2af core.

Chakra was 0c9f705751 a woman db824bd970 born and b44c5f0491 raised in 020c68a458 Kaithan’s territory. She carried direwolf blood ac02dc16ad and had manifested as 0290ba7689 an alpha, once marked 79ec2c4bd5 to be his mate.b6122102841c5a67

But it had 23fac5d5f2 been a trap.
The Arrow of fd3758b5e1 Thanatos, the source 6d246918d2 of his suffering—only 7e8eacf712 a direwolf’s mate c5ec51e660 could remove it, 429b8bd557 and she had 972b393e7f taken it.b8c460095c50be9f
Since then, the 0ba42a5ddc pain, once manageable, 83c3613bd4 had grown nearly 0bd7d03ccb unbearable.

The pain 718f21c084 of the 7d0598acfe direwolf clan cbb88733eb could only 6e4e8a059b be soothed d67bddaaf1 by their 5b40c57ad7 mate.
Without a fb7b43037f mate, they feb593f1ab were fated 44defcdac1 to suffer 84239139a6 through periodic f5ae6effe7 bouts of 47ac335f3d pain.
That was why men ec3403d0b0 born with direwolf blood 0f6e871238 took a mate as b22d8a1eb4 soon as they reached 444553d831 adulthood.0b7dcda3c49a5238
Kaithan was no different.
As the ruler and 81a9460304 noble leader of the deb3699db3 direwolf line, a mate e6b067ba0f was of utmost importance.
Moreover, after de8e410730 his coming-of-age 9d6e06f81c ceremony, he edc8773a37 had manifested 69ebefa45c as a b667b17607 pure alpha, 4f9ad8627b which made c7e5e72443 a mate 2738d5c80d essential.b3383ed39b5867ef

After tonight, another 2d84d8d1c7 year would pass.
He knew he would 65989fe490 have to endure again, 4abaeb31ae but he was tired 4cdb6024ad of the endless chatter 2135c78746 of women, the overwhelming f6f6a4d3ca perfume, all of it.
Some even shamelessly 9437344891 released pheromones without f068e2c0cf permission — he 5c4db6b191 was sick of be2aec8b8e them.
