Chapter 5

• Julian POV
• We left early for Leo's pack without letting him know that we were on our way. We should have informed him of our intending visit but we didn't want to give off any vibe that we were coming to investigate him. Alpha Leo was my brother but we had been enemies for as long as I could remember. I always thought of him as a selfish and greedy person who didn't care about others.
• He was the reason why I was not a part of our father's pack but I was grateful to him for that since I would have been under his governorship now if I had remained at the pack due to the will my father had written down before his death.
• But, just because I left the pack though didn't mean that I didn't want to claim my father's throne as the first child and this could very well be the chance I needed. To hear that he was messing with the spirit codes was more than enough for me to ruin him and claim my father's throne once and for all. Only a crazy person would dare to mess with the spirit code.
• Before we left the pack, we had devised a plan. Holden was to investigate while I distracted my dear brother for a while. I already told Holden that I wanted to know what was going on in that pack of his. It was clear something strange was going on in there, the mysterious crates being moved to another kingdom.
• Everything going on was uncertain but I was sure Leonard's pack was involved. When we got to the borders of my brother's pack house, our cars were stopped by the patrol guards for inspections. Holden and my guards became tense and were ready to attack if anyone made the wrong move,
• “Do you have permission to enter?” A blond guard asked me.
• “Do I need permission to enter my brother's pack?” I rose to my full height to question him.
• He realized his error quickly and bowed in apology.
• “I am sorry alpha Julian, I will tell alpha Leo that you are here.” He said as he kept bowing.
• “Very well,” I replied and signaled to my guards to stand back as they let us through the gates.
• We drove past the gates towards the structure of buildings Leonard had erected. My brother was standing right in front of one of the buildings, looking formidable with whom I guessed was his beta. I got out of my car and headed to meet him for formality sake when all I would like to do was punch the smug out of his face.
• “Ah, alpha Julian, it's nice to see you here." He greeted me.
• “Alpha Leo, nice to see you too,” I said in response.
• “Come, let us head into my office and talk.” He suggested.
• I told the guards to hang back while Holden and I followed him to his study.
• “So what brings you to my territory, brother? I never expected to see you here again.” Leo said to me with a smug smile on his face when we got to his office. Ugh! That look.
• “Well, we are still brothers, so I came to see how you are doing. I will be staying for a day or two.” I told him
• "Very well then, I will tell the luna to make provisions for you." He stated.
• I had been about to look around the office but his statement stopped me. I was shocked beyond words. Did he get a mate? Since when? Alpha Leo found himself a mate? Is she even real?
• “Thank you,” I told him, masking my surprise well.
• He sent his beta to call the Luna to get to the study immediately and we waited patiently as she took her sweet time. My wolf was beginning to stir inside me, he was trying to tell me something. I breathed in to control myself. I could feel the presence of someone at the door even without turning.
• Enticing. My wolf muttered to me and I could suddenly feel the delicious scent of whoever was at the door. I breathed in greedily once more. I wanted to wrap myself around this intoxicating scent forever. My chest felt hot and a burning desire coursed through me, making my wolf bounce around in my head.
• He barked, tail wagging feverishly as he stared down the door with an overwhelming sense of urgency. My finger itched to open the door and see the one who is causing such a reaction from me. The closer the scent got, the faster my heart pounded.
• Finally, the door opened and the most beautiful woman I had ever seen came into the room.
• Her presence filled the room with so much light. A gush of her scent hit me straight in the face.
• “You asked for me?” She asked in a tone that sounded like a melody to me.
• I felt a shiver run through me from the soft yet sharp polite tone of her voice. My wolf whined in my head. I too was losing my sense of reasoning like my wolf was. All I wanted to do was wrap my hands around her slender body and claim her.
• Wait! Mine? My mate was Leo's Luna?! How? That couldn't be remotely possible even for a second. I kept asking myself.
• “Please prepare a place for Alpha Julian and his guests,” Leonard said, gesturing to me.
• She turned to look at me...
• Surprising brown eyes pierced into my blue own with no intention of letting go. The scent that had me going off the rails since I stepped foot into the study. My wolf was going crazy, his gaze narrowed in on her like the predator he was and the rest of the people were pushed to the back of my mind as I continued to stare at her. She demanded my attention without even asking for it, my eyes trailed the rest of her.
• The creamy skin hidden under the dress she was wearing screamed at me to tear it off her. The tease of seeing how smooth her skin was in that dress woke up so many desires in me. I wanted to mess up her hair so I could watch her come undone. To run my hands through her luscious hair and watch it fan out while she was under me.
• “How would she look under me?” I asked my wolf and groaned internally as I realized that my thoughts were going haywire. I looked back at her face and saw the soft brown eyes that were paired with long lashes still staring at me which held me captivated. Her soft parted lips did wonders to the most reactive parts of my body as my arousal hit.
