Chapter Fourteen: The Boys Speak

XIUMIN'S POV

I walk over to Asia and grab her hand. She looks at me through her bangs. I asked, "Is this true, Asia? Were you planning on leaving?"

Asia looked down and nodded. I stumble back in shock. I look around at all the girls and noticed that they were all sad. I look at Tao and notice that he is thinking. I hope he comes up with something quick.

I don't want to lose Asia.

TAO'S POV

I was quickly thinking. I suddenly remember what Cherish was saying. Their wolves have chosen us as their mates. I smirk and said, "Venus, I want to know something."

Venus looked at me. "What?"

"Would you let your girls stay if the boys mated them?"

Venus thought for a moment. "Of course, I would. That would make them happy. I would never do anything to jeopardize their happiness."

I look at my pack and say, "Go claim your mates."

Before I even finished, Rosa had run to Chanyeol and hugged him. I saw the boys go up to their girls one-by-one. Only Luhan and myself were left. I saw Cherish sadly look at the ground and turn around.

LUHAN'S POV

After Cherish turned away, I slowly walk up behind her and wrap my arms around her. "Don't ever lie to me again, love."

I hear her gasp. I feel her start to tremble and asked, "Are you okay?"

She just nods. I smile happily.

VENUS' POV

After I see Luhan go to Cherish, I smile. It looks like I'm alone again. I go into the kitchen, so I don't have to see the happy couples. I hear a voice behind me say, "You should be in here celebrating too, Venus."

I shook my head. "They don't need me no more. What do I have to celebrate? I'm just a lone wolf now."

I turn away from him and hear a growl coming from him. I sigh. He says, "You did not wait to hear what I would do."

I shrug. "There was nothing for me to hear. I know what will happen now. The girls must obey you now, Tao. You are their new alpha."

TAO'S POV

I was frustrated. "That wasn't what I meant. I was going to ask you to be my mate. You are a good alpha female."

Please, say yes. I want you to be my mate. Venus sighed. "I do not want to force you into this."

I walk up to her and turn her around to face me. "When have you ever known me to be forced into anything?"

Venus took a moment to think. Finally, she said, "Never. In fact, everyone follows your rules."
