The Beta's Other Mate

3- Promises

"Alpha Levi?"

"Hmm?" He turned his head sharply with confusion written all over him. "Right!" He tapped the side of his head before scratching it.

Surely his wolf was giving him as much a hard time as Anna's.

She wondered if anyone else could smell the rich scent of his pheromones that smelt like french caffeine.

The rich overpowering scent was driving her crazy.

"Sorry, I uhm," he started to apologise to the judges. "I still don't understand how these work. Sorry," he smiled a bit but those eyes were lost in confusion and in thoughts.

He had a lot going on with his wolf right now, he could barely concentrate.

Maureen placed her hand on his shoulders and cracked a reassuring smile at him, "It's okay, Alpha Levi. It must be hard for you. If you want, we can postpone this trial for another day."

The offer seemed appealing to him because his shoulders slumped in relief and he gave a simple nod.

As if planned, the guards outside stepped in and they tugged at her chain, helping her to her feet and with a bow of their heads, they started to exit the room.

Anna had never fought a temptation as strong as this before. Torn between looking back at him one last time, she finally gave in.

Their eyes met for a brief second and two things struck at her heart before he was out of sight; one was the uncanny resemblance to her dead Alpha and the second was actually what made her heart beat a little faster.

That man was her mate. She would be cursed with staring into Alpha Weston's face and having her wolf jump in excitement.

Something she had wished for, for years and something that had sadly never happened until now.

Alpha Levi watches her leave with a tightness in his chest. He had to squeeze his fist to keep himself sane and remember he was before the judges of the Noble Hunters City Pack.

He felt nervous all week but actually being here was putting a strain on his mind especially with his wolf reacting that way. He had never felt that was for anyone- he usually thought his wolf was dormant and lacked any energy to look forward to things.

But Klopp's sudden interest in that woman couldn't be called a mere attraction. She had to be his mate.

The room still smelled of her scent. He never thought roses could be this… strong and suffocating. It was a bit overbearing. Was it the red hair? It looked like a mess but it was probably because of the state she was in.

Actually, Levi had seen her pictures before he embarked on this journey and he had thought his brother must've been a lucky bastard to have had a woman with such great high sex appeal by his side.

Her hair like wildfire, they were wavy and curly resting all the way down to her tits that looked like a handful- in the photo of course. The woman that had appeared before him looked a little less of the version.

"It's almost like Alpha Weston never left," the judges said.

"You're the spitting image of him… or he's the spitting image of you. You get what I mean,"

He had heard that a lot growing up so he smiled at them like he always did and tilted his head to the side, "Thank you and I'm really sorry for your loss."

"Silly man. We're sorry for your loss. He was our Alpha but he was your younger brother."

At least they seemed reasonable enough to understand that fact. He managed to leave their presence after a while with the excuse of getting some rest but his feet took him in her direction. He followed the trail of her scent that she left behind and with each inhale, Levi wanted nothing more than to put his hands on her.
