Chapter 79“You said all of that in the elders’ meeting and they didn’t look at you again or yell at you to put your baby butt on the chair?” Lena said sarcastically as she looked at Ronan.For three days she hasn’t been able to get a wind of Ronan, it was like he was burying himself in work and has just drastically changed. She would try to catch up with him in his room only for him to be absent in it, and his study, it was always locked as if he was locking himself from everyone.“And Niya’s father didn’t ask you to keep quiet while he rubbed your head?” She added, a small smile on her lips. “I’m not a child anymore Lena,” Ronan said, his face devoid of smiles as he eyed her.“You’ll still be my baby brother, no matter what. Are you going this hard because of what Niya did to Stacey?” “It’s nothing about her. I’m just rethinking all of it.” He replied as he stood up from his chair, facing lena.“What if the elders just needed me to acquire this land and to build a pack on it? When
Chapter 80It was late in the night and Stacey was having difficulties sleeping. She got out of bed and decided to take a stroll in the house, to take her mind off things she has been thinking about. She glanced at his door as she passed it, a small sad smile curling her lips upwards.These days she has been more into herself, she talked to herself, did everything herself, and even kept to herself. The new maid appointed to her would try to make small talk with her but she wasn’t interested. It was the same way Lena got access to her and she wasn’t making any mistakes again. “Lena didn’t do any…“I don’t want to hear it, Freya.” She cut her wolf off as she climbed down the stairs.Everywhere was already silent, apart from some of the maids who were still moving back and forth and the guards manning each place.“Where to?” One of the guards asked her.“I’m just taking a stroll. I’ll be back in a few minutes.” She said to him before he opened the door and allowed her to pass.The fresh
Chapter 82The first thing Ronan woke up to the next day was a meeting of furious elders. After freshening up, he marched with Eric to the meeting room only to meet the elders with frowned faces seated around the table. Just like the last time, no one stood up on their feets to greet him as a scoff escaped his lips.He stopped after the door, glancing at them all with a wicked glint in his eyes,“Have them thrown into the dungeon. I can’t deal with them if they can’t respect me.” He said and turned his back to leave when Janiya’s father voiced out.“You want respect, you’ll have to earn it!”“Well, not from dimwits like you all.” He retorted, turning back to face them with his lips curled up.“You dare call us dimwits! We saved your life! And now you’re disrespecting us over some lady!”“What has this got to do with her? We are a pack Ronan, don’t let the pack crumble because of your affection for her.” Another elder said calmly.Ronan smiled as he walked towards his chair, taking hi
Chapter 82“I think you went too hard on them, Ronan. You did not even tell me you were going to try something like that.” Eric said with heavy breaths after trying to catch up with Ronan.“I’m not going hard on them. I’m merely informing them, if I should go hard on them, they won’t take it.” He retorted.Eric nodded, gulping down as they walked in silence for a while. “What about her?” He said all of a sudden.“Who?”“Lena, your sister. What about her? What are you doing about her?” Ronan halted, turning to face Eric with a smile on his face. “She's fine as you can see and she’s going to be fine. How did you know? Were you doing some digging about her?”“You asked me to find where she is, we were looking for her together, and I did that. That’s how I got to know Ronan.” Eric replied as he bowed to him.“Keep it that way. I don’t want anyone else knowing.” He turned back and made his way to the dining table. Eric helped in opening the door while he entered, his feets coming to an a
Chapter 83“You’ll have to make it up to me. I’ve been alone for the past four days. You don’t know how lonely that can be.” Stacey said, staring at Lena as they disengaged from the hug.“Of course. Anything. Anything you want, I’ll make it up to you.”Lena said, her face beaming with smiles.“I don’t want to go for my training today. So let’s just have fun and go through the pack. We didn’t finish those last times.”Stacey said with a smile.“Yes. I’ll get permission from Ronan and also some money and we’ll leave. Go change into something comfortable, I’ll change too.” Lena said, leaning towards Stacey and placing a kiss on her cheeks.“Go on now.”She added, turning back and walking away.Stacey stood there, watching how Lena finally disappeared after turning to wave like two times with her heart full of joy and even more falling off. She has never felt this happy in her whole life. This felt like genuine happiness, the kind where you feel unbothered about anything because someone ha
Chapter 84“What are you doing here, Trish?” Ronan questioned, the shock on his face evident.A smile bloomed over her lips, one Stacey wished she could slap off because of how smug it looked.“Did you think something happened to me, or might have happened?” She said, batting her lashes as she moved closer to Ronan.She trailed her hands on his cloth, her eyes raking all over him seductively. Stacey felt a kind of irritation course through her as she stared at them in envy.“Well,” she withdrew her hand suddenly, meeting Ronan’s eyes with a smile on her face.“I’m back. And this time, I don’t have anything up my sleeves. Just me, the old Trish you knew before all the drama.” She added, patting Ronan on his shoulder as she made way inside the house.Lena rushed towards Ronan, grabbing him by the hand as she said to him with all seriousness, “who the heck is that girl?” She asked, her eyes wide open, waiting for answers.Ronan eyed her hand on his arm before looking at her. He did it aga
Chapter 85After a long night of various talks with Lena and sleeping late, Stacey finally woke up the next day. She hurried to dress up as she didn’t want to miss her training. She and the priestess were making progress, and for some reason that she herself had no idea of, she wanted to be able to control her power.“At least I might be able to use it to destroy that lady.” She muttered, brushing her hair and packing it together before making her way outside.She closed her door and turned to start walking when she met Ronan's eyes, he was also just coming out of his room. She stood rooted to the ground, staring at him as he did the same. Finally he averted his gaze away, making her look at the ground in embarrassment before clearing her throat.“Good morning” they both said together, making Stacey smile a bit.“Hope you slept well?” Ronan inquired after.She looked up at him and nodded before opening her mouth to talk. “Hope you slept well too? And you had no disturbance and all of t
Chapter 86“Why the heck are you here, Trish?” Ronan asked, running his hand through his hair.“The heck… how did you survive? How did you even make it? Why did you come back here, Trish?” “Calm down baby boy. I’m the one who’s supposed to be scared and not you. Why is it looking the opposite way around?” She said calmly.Ronan stopped pacing back and forth, halting to look at her as he scoffed.“You think I’m scared for me?” He asked before laughing.“I’m scared for you, Trish. Because whatever you want to do here, it’s not going to work. And who knows, you might really end up dead this time.”Trish's face turned into a frown, pressing her lips together as she stared at him. “Now you’re finally giving the kind of Ronan I expected. “Why are you here?” Ronan questioned again.She sighed, crossing her leg on the chair she sat down on. Her eyes scanned the whole room as a smile emerged on her lips.“Do you remember those times? Just me and you, and me being the Luna of the pack. You wou
