Karl's POV
I had watched how Mike was desperate to get close to Valerie these past couple of weeks and I felt threatened.
I still haven't caught my prey and even if Mike has already acknowledged Valerie as his mate in public, so what?
As long as Valerie left the pack with me, I had many ways to make her willingly give herself to me, whether she had a mate or not.
I don't want Mike to get too comfortable in his role as a mate. I have to remind him of his place, which was among the filth who tormented Valerie and didn't deserve her.
Of course, I can't be too brutal, I am still in his territory, but I have to do something.
So, I requested an audience with him.
Because of the nature of our conversation, I invited him to my room. This way, no one else would disturb us or eavesdrop on our conversation.
When Mike walked in, I was standing by the window looking outside at the women who were going about their duties in the yard.
