Chapter Five

**Sergio’s POV**

After finishing my training session, which I enjoyed despite not being obligatory since Gamma Kevin handled it well, I made my way back to my room to shower before attending a party I had no interest in. My mother saw it as an opportunity for me to find a potential mate, but my ambitions lay elsewhere. I was determined to lead our pack to great heights and establish our dominance among all others.

Upon opening the door to my room, I caught a familiar scent. It was Felicia. Surprised, I asked her, "What brings you here?"

She replied, her voice filled with desire, "There's something about you when you return from training, all sweaty and powerful. It turns me on. I want to explore every inch of your sculpted abs, tracing my way down to your already aroused manhood."

She approached me, dressed provocatively in a white see-through bra, matching thong, and elegant black stilettos. She knew exactly how to captivate me, and I could feel myself growing more excited. Allowing her to satisfy her desires, she sensually trailed her tongue down my body, eliciting a primal growl from deep within me. As she reached my throbbing member, her lips eagerly enclosed around it. I held her hair firmly, guiding her movements, as I took what I craved. Yes, I can be selfish, but she knew this about me all along. She would do whatever it took to become Luna, but little did she know, I was merely using her to fulfill my own desires. I noticed her hand slipping down to pleasure herself, aware that this encounter would culminate in me releasing my essence into her mouth, and nothing more.

Shortly after, her pace quickened, accompanied by arousing moans that sent pleasurable vibrations through me. The sensation brought me to the brink of release. Meanwhile, she intensified the movements of her hand, bringing herself to climax. As she reached her peak, I couldn't hold back any longer and ejaculated into her eager mouth with a grunt. After cleaning me off with her tongue, she stood up, her gaze full of desire, silently beckoning me for more.

"Felicia, I need to shower. You must leave now," I firmly stated.

"But I had other plans for us. I thought we could spend the afternoon entwined in each other's arms," she pleaded.

"I can't. I have to attend a party at the Midnight Shadow Pack. So, please, leave now. I won't repeat myself," I insisted.

With that, she stormed out of my room, slamming the door behind her. If it weren't for her exceptional oral skills, I would have considered punishing her for her disrespectful behavior, but I chose to let it slide this time.

After my shower, I decided to forgo shaving and embraced the rugged five o'clock shadow look. I swiftly brushed my teeth and proceeded to my walk-in closet. Opting for a pair of sleek black slacks and a crisp white button-up shirt, I rolled up the sleeves to my elbows and left the top buttons undone.

"Hey Leo, do I look suitable for the party?" I mentally connected with my wolf, seeking his opinion.

Leo, my loyal companion, could be bothersome at times, but he always had my back.

"Duh, we always look good. We're an irresistible duo. Why would you even question that?" he replied confidently.

"I know we're a dynamic duo, but it never hurts to double-check," I chuckled.

"Ready to embark on this wild ride? I swear, this Alpha we're visiting is quite the character. How he manages to keep his pack functioning is beyond comprehension. I have a hunch that something peculiar is transpiring there."

"Sergi, I have this strange intuition about tonight. It's as if we're about to stumble upon a revelation, but I can't quite put my finger on it. It's making me uneasy."

"I feel it too, remember? We're connected on a deep level. Just relax, we'll have a good meal, a few drinks, perhaps dance with some lovely she-wolves, and then head back home. Nothing out of the ordinary will happen tonight," I reassured my wolf, attempting to calm my own apprehensions.

Finally, I descended the stairs to find Jake, the somewhat grumpy beta, waiting for me.

"Dude, it took you forever. We were supposed to leave ten minutes ago. I despise being late, and now, because of your tardiness, you'll be driving. I refuse to risk getting a speeding ticket."

"Don't worry, I'll take the wheel. Which car should we take? I'm thinking my red Bugatti. It'll get us there in no time," I suggested, envisioning a swift journey.

"Sounds good to me."

The hour-long drive seemed to pass in a mere 35 minutes, thanks to the remarkable speed of my car. I truly adored this vehicle; it was a generous gift from my parents when I assumed the role of Alpha two years ago. Jake, being his usual self, enthusiastically sang along to every song on the stereo. He had a peculiar preference for Afrobeats, a musical genre that I had yet to fully understand. Although it drove me mildly insane, I endured it as a means of avoiding conversations with him. As we neared the Midnight Shadow territory, Leo, my ever-anxious wolf, grew increasingly restless. His constant pacing within my mind was beginning to give me a slight headache.

"Dude, Leo, can you please calm down? You're giving me a headache."

"I can't help it. Something feels off. I can't quite pinpoint it, but there's definitely an unsettling vibe, and it's intensifying as we approach. I think we should have brought one of the Bulletproof SUVs. I have this nagging feeling that we might need it."

If Leo doesn't settle down, tonight is going to feel never-ending. Finally, we arrived at our destination, parking the car in the driveway. As we stepped out, we were warmly greeted by Alpha Draxler and Luna Blanca.

"Alpha Sergio, a pleasure to see you as always. I was hoping you'd join us tonight. I understand that you haven't yet found your mate, and we have several she-wolves approaching their 18th birthdays who would be thrilled for the opportunity to meet you. If you were to find your mate within our pack, it could pave the way for a formidable alliance."

"Alpha Draxler, let me make it clear from the start. I have no intention of seeking a mate. My presence here tonight is merely a formality, and I plan on leaving early. Now, if you could kindly direct me to where the party is being held."

Alpha Draxler cast a disapproving glance my way, but reluctantly pointed towards the back of the house. Kane and I made our way in that direction, when suddenly a delightful scent of daisies and strawberries wafted towards us. It was faint, but even Leo picked up on it and settled down, finally laying down to rest.

"Jake, do you smell that? It's like a combination of daisies and strawberries. Quite pleasant, actually. I wonder how they managed to create such a scent."

"Dude, I think you're losing it. All I can smell is the aroma of grilled food outside. Let's go check out the ladies for the night. I plan on whisking one away to her room for a few hours of fun."

"You're such a womanizer," I teased him.

As we ventured out to the backyard, I found myself surrounded by various she-wolves, eagerly vying for my attention and hoping to become my mate. They proved to be quite bothersome, and I couldn't shake them off fast enough.

Finally, I managed to break free from the flock and joined some of the other Alpha wolves to discuss their impressions of the pack.

"Alpha Charles, how have you been? How is your new mate?" I inquired, addressing the Alpha of the Red Fang Pack, who had also been invited to the party.

"Alpha Sergio, it's great to see you here. My Luna and I are doing well, and we’re expecting our baby soon, by the way," Alpha Charles responded with a smile.

"Wow, congratulations, Alpha Charles! I'm genuinely happy for you," I congratulated him, giving him a friendly pat on the shoulder.

"I have to be honest, I dislike these social gatherings, and there's something off about this pack. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's an unsettling feeling in the air," he confided.

"I couldn't agree more," I acknowledged, understanding his sentiment.

As I continued to socialize and engage with others, hoping to gather any additional information, the pack members remained tight-lipped. I was ready to depart, but I couldn't locate my Beta at the moment. Knowing him, he was probably occupied with some she-wolves, attempting to charm his way into their hearts. Despite the fact that the official announcements hadn't even been made, I was already feeling fed up. I began my search for my Beta, determined to locate him.
