“Yes, I am. But you have to guarantee that Hector is safe. And I would want Victoria to go with her.
Rejection is a hard emotion. At least Victoria would be there with him when he rejects her.”
“That is fine with us,” Elijah growled. “Make sure that he is ready. Our cars will arrive in a few hours!”
“I will,” Maxim said and gritted his teeth. There was no way out of this situation.
The line went dead and Maxim called Hector. Suddenly, an idea came to him. He called the leader of the faction of werewolves who kept on waging one or the other war against the Lycans. “Hector and Victoria will be going to the Veil tonight,” he said in a low voice.
There was a long silence from the other side. “I will call you back with the plan in an hour,” he said in a deadly cold voice and disconnected the call.
At SPM, River was feeling stifled in her bedroom Without Alpha Hunter, she felt like this was such a long day She had resisted herself to not meet him, but in the end, she couldn’t hold herself any longer So she walked to him and was about to knock, when Fara came over
“What are you doing? Fara asked, wide eyed “Alpha Hunter isn’t in his room. He has gone to his office”
“Oh River was surprised but it was a good feeling At least he had gone out of his room. She felt so quilty of telling him about her mate She should have suffered silently After all she was just a breeder But at the back of her mind she knew that Hunter treated her more than like a breeder.
River turned her attention to Faria “I wanted to ask you something,” she said in a low voice as she walked back to her
FOOM
Faria entered her room after her and began picking up the clothes for laundry. “Sure, what is it?”
Trying to act and sound casual, she said, “Where are your quarters?”
Faria stopped, narrowing her eyes “Why?” she asked.
She shrugged “Just like that I was curious.”
Faria sighed “All servants live at the back of the castle. We have our servant quarters.”
“There might be many quarters, I believe!”
“There are,” Faria sighed. “Alpha Hunter is a very kind man.” She dug her hands in her pocket and something jingled. “Oh!” she said as if realizing something very important. “I have to go somewhere!”
“Where?” River asked, sounding casual, but her senses were on full alert.
Fana shook her head and hurried out of the room. River had her suspicions that Faria was going to deliver food to Ella. At first, she thought of following her, but she restrained herself. She waited for ten minutes to pass and then she rushed out of her room to follow Faria. However, as soon as she came out, she bumped into Hunter.
Eyes wide, River’s heart lurched into her throat. “Alpha Hunter!” she rasped. She halted as Hunter grabbed her quickly by her upper arm and stopped her from falling. She was shocked to see him, her irritation immediately going down.
“Where are you rushing to, River?” he asked, staring at her intensely.
All her anxieties went down after seeing him. “I-I-” she bit her bottom lip as their gazes locked. The world faded around her and relief surged through her. She forgot everything about the past two days as to how miserable she was. “H-how are you, Alpha Hunter?” she asked softly.
His lips lifted into a half smile. “I am well, River. And you?”
“I was waiting for you…”
Hunter was bending down to press a kiss on her when all of a sudden there was a loud coughing somewhere in the background. A low angry growl emanated from his chest. He looked at the person who was interrupting him and found his Beta standing over there. “What?” he snarled. River blushed and tried to step away from him, but he didn’t let her go
Elijah stifled his chuckle and said, “Your guests are here.”
“I see,” Hunter said with pure disgust. Then he looked at River and said, “Hector is here.”
River’s ***fell to the floor. “Hector?” All her earlier thoughts vanished. Her heart started to beat nervously as goosebumps pebbled her skin.
“Along with Victoria!”
Her stomach knotted tightly. The familiar feeling of ***returned. She had told him about her mate and he brought him here? Did he want her to be insulted more than she already was? Her eyes welled up with tears.
Sensing her anxiety, Hunter said, “I know it is hard on you, River, but I have brought him only so that you can reject him. He is sitting in the main hall along with Victoria. All you have to do is go and reject him. I want you to be free of this mess, of him so that you can have a brighter future.”
A rough exhale escaped her lips. Alpha Hunter was really such a wonderful person. And she was so pathetic. Her eyes went from him to Elijah, who too had the encouraging look in his eyes. He said, “We are going to stand there with you, so don’t worry.”
River nodded and her hand went to her heart automatically. The word rejection was so hard to even think of that her

17:56 breath logged in her throat Hunter held her in his arms. “River…” he murmured. “Can you do this?”
