For Maxim, a mate would only hinder his plans for the future, which was making more money for himself and for his parents.
Maxim had been thinking about it for a while, and based on what he saw around him, especially the mated wolves in the city. The she-wolves often took their mate's hard-earned money for themselves or would spend it in their pups, which he didn't mind.
However, Maxim was the sole breadwinner of his family, and his income would sometimes help the other pack members who were in need. He didn't want another burden and was sure he couldn't fund his mate or future pups in his current situation.
"Ah, this feels great!" Maxim exclaimed, slamming his hands to the ground. His happiness was bursting out at the thought of him being mateless.
"My body wants you badly."
