Ivorie sighed as she shivered from the cold. She rubbed her arms, trying to warm up her body. She glanced at the door and exhaled exasperatedly. Regan hadn't returned with the woods yet and she was worried.Did he leave the manor out of anger? Did he lock her in here as punishment for getting him angry?She knew him as a quite extreme person whenever he was angry so any possibilities were welcomed to her.Standing from the chair, she walked around the manor. If she could find a cloth or a blanket that she could use to cover herself, it would help with the cold. She wasn't sure how long she had experienced winter last. Her pack was in a region where that weather didn't come so often.After roaming around in the massive manor, she spotted a black blanket hung on the wall. She happily grabbed it and swung it over her shoulders, snuggling with it. Luckily for her, it was made of a very soft silk and she revelled in its marvellous texture.She walked back to the living room where she was.
“The Elders are still trying to talk him through things, Beta, but Beta Sinclair is such a strong headed man. He keeps demanding to see Alpha Silas!” The guard said to Estan as they both marched to the courtroom.Estan, without facing the guard, said, “Well, I'm here now. Maybe things will soften when he sees someone of his rank.”They arrived at the courtroom and the guard held the door open for Estan to walk in. When the latter did, there was noise in the courtroom. But as soon as the inhabitants noticed his presence, the noise died down instantly.Even as the Beta, there was still a little regard from the Elders. Although it was no March for the respect they had for their Alpha.“Beta Estan.” Beta Sinclair, a young and handsome blond, greeted Estan with a stern gaze.“Beta Sinclair, welcome to Cresthowl pack. I do hope your journey wasn't too hectic.” Estan greeted back quickly as he took his seat. Unlike Regan, there was no need to stand up till Estan sat down. Besides, this was
‘Tell her, you know what she wants to ask. Tell her!’ Boris urged and Regan opened his mouth.‘Shut it!’ he shut his wolf off.Ivorie gulped nervously. Their bodies were almost connecting and the lower part of her belly was heating up as well as her core. She didn't know why he was having such effect on her but it felt good.Unconsciously, she leaned upward for Regan's delicious lips but didn't kiss it.“Ivorie…” Regan murmured breathlessly. He was a bit surprised she took the initiative to try and kiss him.The only thing that was keeping him there was the mate bond and he was fighting it with all his might.Suddenly, his ear ticked but lust made him ignore it. He was so engrossed in gaping at Ivorie's luscious cleavages that he ignored whatever his ears were calling him to.He leaned downward too, deciding to do the forbidden. Although it wasn't actually forbidden, considering she was his wife and mate. But to him, it was. Yet he wanted to do it.“Ahem!” Regan spinned around in a s
“So, how did you know where he was?” Ivorie asked Estan, who was sitting next to her on a bench just outside the courtroom.Regan was inside with Beta Sinclair who had been released from his confinement to have a meeting with Regan.Hopefully, they would discuss normally without Regan having to rip his head off Beta Sinclair's neck.Estan shrugged, “Ah…that's just m the only place he goes whenever he leaves the castle but has no official business to deal with.” He answered with a warm smile.Ivorie chuckled. “Wow, you really know him.” She remarked.“Well, and also because that's the same place we both went to train all the time all those years before he became so obsessed with his conquest.” He added.Ivorie tilted her head and frowned. “Wait, how did you know we went to train there?” She asked. She had thought Regan kept it a secret amongst the both of them alone.Estan smiled and nodded, “Well, I knew about your wolflessness a long time ago, Luna.” Estan whispered, shocking Ivorie.
“Come on!” Regan bellowed as he tilted his body to the right, dodging a jab from one of the warriors. He clicked his tongue unimpressively at the warrior’s futile attempt to hit him.He was in the warriors' training grounds in the castle. Once in a while, he would come and give them some ‘rare’ training, which, to the warriors, only involved them being tossed around and knocked out effortlessly.Regan most times forgot that he was an Alpha and they were mere Gammas. The power levels were miles apart.Effortlessly, he drove his fist into the warrior’s torso, sending him to the ground instantly.He spread his arms with a look of shock on his face. “Is this what I'm dealing with?” He asked nobody in particular as the warrior was seemingly unconscious.Two other warriors came up to the training mat to drag him away.“You all are being so sloppy in your moves!” Regan bellowed, his tone dripping slightly of anger and disappointment.“When he wakes, tell him I said he should have his forearm
“Don't you think you should take a break now?” Estan asked as he dipped his hands into the pocket of his trousers. He watched as Ivorie rolled the mini sized boulder to the other side of the compound.“No,...um…just a…little…arg…more…” she said amidst heavy pants and grunts.She was perspiring profusely and the sweat made her flimsy dress cling to her body like a second skin. Her skin had totally ignored the logic that it was winter.Her skin couldn't quite be blamed, as the white haired Luna had been training for hours non-stop.It had been three weeks since the first time that she asked Estan for help with her training. Three weeks that he had been training her personally in the same manor that Regan had brought her to the first time.Of course, the training had paid off. As currently, she could stay a fairly long while when her wolf tried to emerge without passing out. She could also remain conscious whenever her wolf tried to communicate with her. Although, she was still stuck at
Regan alighted the carriage and stepped on the castle ground again. He took in a long breath and exhaled refreshingly.His few days of absence from the castle had made him miss it so much.“Alpha, welcome.” Brennan greeted him as he approached him and bowed respectfully.“How was the marking ritual of the new warriors?” The guard asked.Nodding, “Well, it went well.” Regan answered without full attention. His gaze was sweeping the entire compound, looking for something, or rather someone.“Do me a favour, Brennan, make sure my carriage is cleaned well.” He ordered the guard and walked away.“But Alpha…” Brennan wanted to tell him that there were servants for that but the Alpha was already gone. He sighed before moving towards the carriage.Regan walked straight into the castle royal block. He had half expected Ivorie to be there in the compound, waiting for him. He had mindlinked a guard to inform her about that beforehand.He couldn't help but feel a bit disheartened at not seeing he
“What is wrong with you?” Ivorie asked in a high pitched tone.Regan exhaled and ran his hand through his hair in devastation. He faced Estan again who was still kneeling before him.“Leave, now!” He ordered in a grave tone. The Beta stood up instantly and left the manor.As soon as the door was shut, Ivorie rooted herself in front of him. “Man-whore? Where did that even come from? Did you think we were…” she paused her words, realising it would sound disgusting if she said it.“I acted on impulse on what I thought I saw.” Regan said firmly. His voice didn't hold any form of remorse although, deep in his heart, he was.Ivorie faced hin with a look of utter bewilderment. “Really? Is this really who you are?” She asked.“Look, I said…”“A violent leader?” She interrupted him. Regan paused to look at her. Anger was boldly written all over her face.‘Why is she so angry?’ he wondered.Regan didn't want to tell her it was his wolf that had attacked Estan. He didn't want her to think that h
