"Who is she?" Eliam asked when he heard the change in Wylder's heartbeat. It was clear that Wylder realized who could be his mate. If he was not sure, he might have guessed that question.
"I'm not sure. I had visited Coven that day or maybe someone from them. Or who knows you might have mistaken to pick that scent as your mate's scent?." Wylder said.
He didn’t want his so-called sister to mate with his Gamma. First, she hated werewolves with passion. He didn’t want Eliam to get hurt because of her. And second, Eliam was a playboy who couldn’t control his dick. There was no way he would ever let a person like Eliam around his sister.
"My wolf can’t make a mistake in sensing that smell." Eliam said, and at the same time Zahir walked in, "Just like I can say that he is coming from the washroom right now." He added.
"Excuse me?" Zahir muttered, looking at both of them in shock.
"I can smell that too," Wylder said in a bored tone.
"He is using Citrus Fresh air fresheners in the washroom."
"Excuse me?" Zahir glared at Eliam for discussing this.
"I can smell that too," Wylder said.
"Before that, he got roses for Breda," Eliam said. Now Wylder raised his hands because he couldn’t smell that. "Before that, he was in the garden, picking natural flowers for his mate. Before that, he cooked egg muffins with veggies and sausage for his pregnant mate."
"What the hell, man? Why are we discussing this?" Zahir asked in confusion.
"He was around Gavin and one other person in the kitchen while preparing breakfast for Breda." Eliam kept speaking, "Before that...."
"I swear, I will break your nose if you don’t stop this show," Zahir growled at him, getting irritated. "Everyone knows that you can smell things around any person for around two days as long as he or she doesn’t take a bath, but why are we discussing this?" he asked, looking at them.
"He knows something about my mate but is not telling me."
"Are you sure that that scent belonged to your mate?" Wylder questioned him.
"All I know is that that was the most amazing scent that I had ever smelt," Eliam said.
"Who knows that Tiara might have changed her perfume that day?" Wylder questioned him again.
"Then go and ask your woman which perfume she used that day," Eliam said desperately.
"Okay!! Okay!! I will ask her."
Eliam didn’t show any sign of excitement because he didn’t want to get hurt later. "Great, I will go and check on the security of the pack." Saying this, he walked out of the office.
"Why did I feel that you knew who his mate was but tried not to share that with him?" Zahir asked.
"I’m not sure about it yet," Wylder replied hesitantly. "Moreover, I didn’t want to give him any fake hope."
"I believe you if you say so," Zahir muttered, not prying much on this topic. "Remember, mates are a blessing from the Moon Goddess, and keeping them apart is a sin. One shouldn’t take anyone’s decision on someone else's behalf unless that person is a pup or in a state where they can’t take decisions." He added.
"Did I ever tell you that you’re the best beta I could ever have?"
"Yeah! Multiple times." Zahir said, shrugging his shoulders. "I should get back to work to keep the position of the best forever."
"I want an A-Z report of Tiara from the previous year."
"I will try, man." You know that she has a habit of keeping her personal life private. I will see what I can do to it; until then, try to get as much as you can from her." Zahir said before getting back to his work.
