"You're Alpha Norman's son- the one who hadn't found his mate yet? But hasn't everyone been saying that you did find your mate? The girl from Green Pack?" she asked quickly, barely pausing for breath. "Ivan, aren't you supposed to be with the girl from Green Pack?"
Paul, on the other hand, looked completely frozen. He simply stared at Ivan, his face blank with disbelief and dread.
"She's not my mate!" Ivan shot to his feet abruptly, the movement almost instinctive.
"Does your father know about this?" Paul finally asked, still sounding stunned. "That you're here… with Axel?"
"No," Ivan answered honestly, he looked like he wanted to explain further, but Paul cut him off before he could continue.
