EREBUS POV.Was she pissed or not?

Why was I worried about her? As far as I was concerned, she was nothing but a petty thief who had filled in to be my substitute wife no matter what; her feelings shouldn't be a thing of worry to me.Yet as much as I thought about it, the more I realized I did go off the rails, but I had no intention of apologizing; this was who I was, and she needed to deal with it.My gaze moved slowly towards the other men of the court who had come to see the event as well, and for some reason they wouldn't keep their eyes off her. I could see the grins on their lips and the way they all ogled at her shamelessly, the mated ones and unmated ones.It made my belly churn, but yet it doesn't

EREBUS POV.My eyes peered out the balcony, my gaze lingering in the direction of the woods as thunder struck for the second time.

His arms ran up my waist, and he pressed his body against mine while placing his head on my shoulders.“Someone might see us; I'm the Lycan king, remember? We talked about this; I'm married now; I have to be extra careful." I added in before wriggling away from his grasp. I could see the scowl that settled on his face; he wasn't so impressed, and neither could I blame him.“You know what? Maybe coming here was a bad idea,“ he snapped, storming back into the room.“Alaric…” I called out after him, holding his arms in place.“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come out sounding like that..but it's just... well...”“Say it erebus!” Alaric snapped, cutting into my words.“What do you mean?” I stuttered as I spoke.“Just say it,

What was the question again?” I asked while seating uptight.“The luna had not been seen for a while; the women of the pack were in need of a gathering, and her continuous absence had been duly noted,” Ivar asserted once again.

This meeting is over; I'll proceed another day.” I spoke, standing to my feet while heading out the door.I could hear their low grumbles and murmurs; they were no fools, and it was unbelievable that I had been able to stall for this long; luckily, trivia's parents had gone on a Trip and entrusted the pack to me, having no idea their daughter had been missing for weeks now.I pushed open the door to my room before sinking into

EREBUS POV.They weren't up to any good, I could tell from the skeptical gazes, and neither was I. Two could play the game. I had no intention of backing down; it was me against them. I needed a prey to vent out my anger anyways. What better opportunity could there be?.“What's with this impromptu meeting? I have other things to tend to,” I asked, holding to my anger with the intent to count time as I spoke while settling into my seat not interested in waste a moment here I could see the displeased gazes they all held, clearing their throats in awkward manners, a damned council of nothingness. Always acting like they were the smartest, but I could not give a fuck about anything they Had to say, not anymore.“The council has called out this immediate meeting to make several complaints to you; as Lycan King, there are two standards to be met. And we see you've gotten too relaxed,” elder Ted had asked. He never liked me, and the feeling was mutual, yet his blabbing tongue would only
