Eero's Perspective"It's the Lady Aelice, daughter of my trusted Beta Octavio." Hearing that, it felt like the world had stopped spinning. I pulled my hand from Claudius' hold of it, and I searched for Aelice.I was hoping to see her shock as much as I was, but she looked somewhat more nervous than surprised. Aelice knew that this was going to happen."Congratulations, Lady Aelice," greeted by everyone, almost. Aelice would spare them a glare and smile, but she would nervously pan her eyes back to me.
Eero's Perspective"Whatever I want, huh?" I looked down at his pants and bit my lower lip."I don't think I'd be able to do what I want with you in the howling island. I'll be distracted by our sweet pup." Claudius equalled my fiery gazes."I like where this conversation is heading." He told me."Alexa, pull down the blinds and dim the lights," Claudius said that, a software picked up. I turn around only to see the blinds rolling down to cover his glass wall and door.
Eero's PerspectiveLooking around, I found a small CCTV placed in between the book on his shelf. The camera was so small that unless someone looked closer at it, they would overlook the existence of."Where is the footage? Is it on your phone?" I asked him. Claudius began buttoning his dress shirt. He glanced at his phone on the table."What's your password?""The date of our mating ceremony.""It used to be the date of
Eero's perspectiveThe setup for the family photo shoot last night was evidence that it wasn't just a dream."Good morning, Eero," Claudius greeted with his raspy morning voice.I was turning around to face him when Claudius surprised me with a peck. He pressed his body against mine, making me feel his morning wood."You're hard.""It happens every morning, baby, and it's not that I'm feeling horny, okay?" He defended himself, which made me laugh."Oh, so you're not in the mood to do it with me. Okay, I got it. I'm not forcing you to have sex with me—""I didn't say I'm not in the mood. Stop putting words in my mouth!" He said in a low voice that got me laughing."I'm just messing up with you, Claudius. I'm still sore you were rough with me when we did it in RGC, but maybe later? I'd be down with one round," I whispered seductively in his ear.Claudius was close to kissing me again when my wolf notified me that our pup was now awake. I pulled away from him, and he knew what that meant
Eero's perspective"Father, there's really no need for you to do that. If you really want to see me, then fine. I'm coming home tonight so that we can talk about this," I said, but the end tone from the other line caught me off-guard."Shit!" I curse, covering my face with my palm."Did he hear me? Was he really going to call all the hotels that RGC owns to check whether I checked in on one of them to spend the night?" I asked my wolf. My wolf advised me to take a deep breath, but that wasn't helping as I succumbed to total panic."What would I tell him once he found out that I didn't check in to any of our hotels?""Shit! I need to go back to the realm now or in RGC.""RGC is a better choice than I'll pretend that I'm already busy so I can dodge any of his inquiries if he ever got one." I shrieked and almost fell after I clashed with a massive frame of a man."Please send a mind-link to your pilot that he needs to fly me back to RGC. Codrus wanted to talk to me about what happened. I
Eero's perspectiveThe Alpha King didn't give me a chance to stay at the hotel for a longer time. He and his driver sent me to RGC before he went back to the realm.While I was busy reviewing all the contracts that I had on hand before I signed them, my phone beeped, and the only one that I was expecting to contact me was Claudius. Upon opening the message, it was Aelice's text that greeted me.Her message hadn't even sunk into my head when she graced my office with her presence."Oh, you're drowning with paperwork. I thought I could still you from your vice chairman duties to go with me."I closed the folder and tidied them all up to the side before I looked at her again."You're not aware of the power that you've got over me because guess what?""What?""I'll gladly leave this paperwork behind to accompany you. Where are we going?" I asked her, standing up and getting my bag from the table in preparation to leave my office with her."To the wedding boutique," she answered. My jaw dr
Eero's perspective."What did you do?" I asked, gritting my teeth, "Aelice might have changed her mind at the last minute, but I'm sure it's because you said something to her. Did you threaten her?" I fought to free myself from Beta Octavio's hold of me."Do you really plan to ruin this special day of the Alpha King and the she-wolf that you claimed was like your sister?""Let go of me, Octavio. I need to stop this mating ceremony.""If you can deal with the consequences of ruining this special day, then I'll gladly will, your grace." Octavio flashed a mocking smile."But I must remind you that you're not that invincible even if you're the heir. Your adoptive father will punish you, and if he gets really disappointed in you, he might snap back to reality and pluck you from your position." My wolf was ready to take over when Claudius spoke inside of my head."Octavio is just trying to provoke you. He wants you to cause a scene here and ruin this day. I k
Eero's PerspectiveA BMW stopped in front of us. The delta that debouched from his car looked familiar. I glanced at Claudius, "Is he from the Bloodmoon pack?" I asked."Yes, and every single Deltas and Epsilon scattered at each corner of the realm comes from the blood moon pack. I placed them there to make it easier for Aelice to escape, remember?" I looked over my shoulder to see Aelice crying. She took a step forward but stopped herself from approaching me."You need a breath of fresh air. Where do you want to go?" Claudius asked that, making me look away from Aelice"I don't know... anywhere far here.""To the howling island, perhaps?" I suggested. Claudius shook his head, and then he switched to talking to me through mind-link."It's too risky. By now, Codrus might have realised that you had fled from the reception of his mating ceremony. Octavio is keeping an eye on you, too. He might have put someone to follow us.""To RGC, then. I could use this time reviewing and approving th
