Chaos Pack. Harry has asked for a meeting and here I am. His pack must need something from me or perhaps he has something of importance to discuss. I've been preparing myself. I can never tell what dark Alphas have in their heads.

We're in his office. It's normal, a bit heavy on the eyes compared to mine. He's telling me about a girl he bought at an auction from one of the neither packs and I growl at this. Auctioning people is not right, especially women. Buying them is less tolerable. 

My pack steers clear from the neither packs, we can't do anything about them even though we'd rather those people be saved. Their so called alphas aren't really alphas like Harry and I, it's just their way to establish a hierarchy.

Harry wants a deal. It's never a good thing, they always want more than they are willing to give. He wants women from my pack, the Frees Pack. He wants them because they're independent and fun. 

"Harry, I will never just give you women. There's nothing you can tell me that will change my mind. I'm not giving you anyone from my pack."

"Don't you want to give your mateless women a chance to meet their mates? They might be here."

"And if they aren't? What will you do with the women who won't find mates here?"

He thinks. "I'll return them to you and you'll supply others."

He wants this because his pack doesn't have much women and they're decreasing in numbers every year. I don't ever want to contribute to a dark pack's increase in power but I want my female pack members to have the opportunity to meet their mates. 

"If I give you this, what will you give me?"

Harry thinks. He won't offer me his men and I don't want his men, they won't belong and they'll have different morals than my pack. I don't want anything from him. There's nothing he can offer to make me agree to this deal. 

"I thought so. Next time, think about what you'll put on the table before wasting my time like this again." I cut his train of thought.

I stand up and just as I do, I sniff this wonderful mix of cinnamon and peaches. My mate smells like candy. Mate!

At the realization that my mate is here at Harry's house, I release a loud growl and run towards her. 

I see her sat on a stool by the kitchen counter, she's shocked.  

I run to her and hold her arms before engulfing her in my arms. She's frozen in place. 

"Come here, Ascher." I hear Harry say in the background. 

My mate, Ascher, follows. I frown in confusion, did she not feel our connection? I'm hurt by the betrayal. And look at her as she walks towards Harry. 

Harry's looking at me with a smirk on his face and at this point, my fists are clenched and I'm fuming, confused and frustrated. Did my mate just reject me for him?

"Well, Maddox. This is Ascher, I got her at the auction. Ascher, this is Alpha Maddox of the Frees Pack, say hello." introduces Harry.

"H-H-Hi Alpha Maddox." she says shyly and I relax at this. She's young and she's from a neither pack. She's not in touch with her wolf. It's not her fault. 

"Hi sweetheart." She blushes and I smile at her. 

"Go to your room, Ascher. Alpha Maddox and I have plenty to discuss." says Harry. With this, she leaves and my wolf whimpers. 

When she's out of sight, I lunge at Harry. "How long have you had her???"

"Suddenly interested with my recent purchase, I see?" he mocks.

"She is mine. I will have her and you will never touch her again." I almost shout to his face.

He removes my hands from his collar. "My deal. Women, for my pack. And she stays here until at least a hundred of my members have met their mate." 

"She will not stay. She is coming with me." I can see it in his mind. He just wants Ascher here to mess with me. 

"Maddox, she cost me quite a fortune. She's pure. She's already accepted to bear my successors." He is winding me up on purpose. I will myself to relax. I don't cause Chaos, he does and I refuse to give him the pleasure. 

"I'll give you twice your money and the women for your members. Just give her to me."

"I thought you didn't like buying people?"

"If it's the only way to make you agree."

"No, I don't want your money. I want the women and I want you to negotiate a deal with Xavier. I want my Rosie back." His mate. Alpha Xavier took his mate. I remember this. 

"You know Xavier is difficult, Harry. I'm not sure I can help you."

"If you want Ascher, get me Rosie." I nod, uncertain how to make that happen but I need my mate.

"You can have her and you have two months to get me my Rosie. If you don't get it done, I expect you to bring Ascher back to me. Alpha's deal?"

"Alpha's deal."
