Her POVNOW, I don’t know if I should open my eyes or keep pretending that I fall asleep. Why all time he had, this is the time he chose for him to say such words, I almost held my breath just so I couldn't make any noise.If I keep pretending, there is a chance I fall asleep but if I open my eyes now, things between us will be awkward. I don't know why but I’m confused as to what should my next move, not for me but Rayton. I don’t want him to feel awkward or shy toward me.Just him, sitting beside me making my heart beat so fast. Why is he doing this to me? I should be the one who seduces him but why; why I am the one whose being pulled by him little by little?“Alpha, these are the foods our leader asked us to deliver for the two of you.” Finally, one of the servants arrives and the fragrant smell of food linger in my nostril.“Thank you, we will enjoy these.” He replied respectfully with gratitude, how nice! If all Alpha is like him ... no, I can't accept that there is Alpha like
Her POVI didn’t want to but I had no choice but to take Rayton to my father’s office, I don't know why he needs to get involved in this conversation, but all I can say is nothing will happen because I won't allow what Zafer wants to happen.I’ve rejected all the marriage proposals from Zafer but he keeps asking me to marry him for the eastern and Southern packs, but it's not just about the packs why he wanted to marry me, I know he has feelings for me but I can't reciprocate it.I looked at Rayton, he was just sitting quietly in the other chair opposite where I am. There was no trace of any emotion on his face, not even one, I don’t know if I should be glad that he doesn’t care at all or feel sorry for myself.“Rayton, I’m sorry for bothering you right now but as you hear, the Alpha leader in the Eastern pack wanted to marry my daughter as a peace offering between the two packs and to strengthen each other.” My father started to explain everything to Rayton, as I keep myself busy stu
Her POVThe night comes without me seeing Rayton not even once after what happened, I want to walk and brag to his room but I don’t dare to do that. After Dad and I talked, I lost the thickness of my face to pretend that nothing had happened in front of Rayton.After three days Zafer would arrive here, but I still didn't know what I should do just to stop him from doing things that would harm Rayton.“Where is your soon-to-be husband? Don't you say that on his first day here he will be disrespectful and didn't want to eat dinner together?” It was Byron, even before he sat down, his mouth started to run and insult Rayton.“Enough, Byron! Can’t you just shut the fuck up?”It wasn’t me, it was Beltran who said it to his brother.This is the first time he tried to stop his brother, what is going on right now? Instead of being happy and thankful, I know there is something they are up to.Here I am again, I can’t help to be anxious about everything they did. My heart does not stop beating
He gently pushes me, “fine let’s talk, what do you want?” it was obvious in his voice that he was just being forced but could do nothing but talk and entertain me."I just want to ask you, have you ever dreamed of being the leader of a pack?" I asked him as I slowly lowered my hand holding his face.His mouth opened for a moment but he also closed it later, "what do you want to know about that, why do you have to ask me about such a thing?" Instead of answering me, he asked me in return.I heard him clenching his teeth as if he was controlling his anger, maybe my question did cross the line.“Nothing, I just want to know your point of view when you knew that the leader of the Southern pack is a woman.” I don’t care if he thinks I’m being dramatic, this is my first time asking someone what they think of me. I usually do not care about others’ opinions.“A woman being a leader of the pack is nothing to be surprised, woman or man can be a leader if they can do their task correctly and co
The three days were over and just as expected the day had come for Zafer to be here, unlike the day when Rayton arrived, they prepared for this day better. From the food to his room, everything seems perfect.Even if I wanted to stop the servants from what they were doing right now, I could not, because I knew that this is my Father’s order. Even to say that I am the standing leader of this pack, I knew that they will follow my father’s command rather than mine.Gosh, is too early for this drama!I shook my head to erase all the negativity in my mind, I need to keep my mind that everything will be alright after the wedding between me and Rayton. For now, I need to settle the problem with Zafer without inconvenience.“Beatrix,” It’s Rayton, he’s sitting under the Pinetree watching all the servants doing their work.“Good morning, how is your sleep?” I casually asked.After the days he’s with me, we decided to take down the formalities when we talk to each other. Like what he said that
The awkward situation during meal time has become even more awkward now that Zafer is at the dinner table together with us, they all don't like Rayton, though Beltran doesn't show that he's not like Byron and Zafer who are vulgar in every word they utter.“Alpha Gregor, thank you for welcoming me here in the South. It’s been too busy a few months in the East because of the transferring of the leadership.” Zafer's politely and comfortable started the conversation with Father.“It’s nothing, your Father informs me in advance so you don’t have to worry. By the way, congratulations for being the new leader of the Eastern border.” “Thank you, Alpha Gregor. I will inform my father how you welcome and treat me well.” He says with certainty, simply showing his real intention.To expand the territory and power of the two packs, Zafer was trying to convince my father to let him marry me. How cunning is he, at least try to consider my opinion here!“You don’t need to do that; your father and I
I heard Zafer sigh, not because he was frustrated but more likely a sigh of relief when he heard Rayton's answer.“Then what can I do now, all I wanted is you to be happy.” He holds my hands and squeezes them, “just keep in your mind that I am always here for you, not because I acting close with your step-brother ‘Byron’ is I neglect you, I’m on your side… Forever.” He whispers to me and without my consent, he hugged me tightly.“Zafer…” I don’t know what to say, all this time I thought he just really wanted to gain some powers to strengthen both packs, but in the end, he just really cares about me.It is safe to give my trust to him? After all, my mother trusted him since we were a child and before she dies… She still remembers to remind Zafer to take care of me.“It’s okay if you build some wall around yourself, yet give some chance for a person like me who cares for you. It’s all right if you still don’t trust my words however, I hope you see how sincere I am.” Zafer is too gentle
RAYTONI avoid his every attack, I feel like my body is dancing in the wind right now. I can hear the sound of our breath yet my body is still full of enthusiasm and free from tiredness.The noises from the crowd are loud, some cheer for his name, and some cheer for me; like they accept me fully in this pack.“Do you hear them?” He asked when the blades of our weapons blocked each other. “They enjoy this kind of activities like they are monsters happily seeing who will bleed until its dead.”“How can you call them a monster when you are the one who’s fighting right now like a mad man?” I push his sword and immediately step my feet four times backward.“Mad man who, aren’t you the same as me? If this is not a friendly match, I’m sure you are ready to kill me from this point.” He smirks and adjusts his hand that holding the sword’s handle.I couldn’t help myself being stunned for a moment, what does he mean?“Your eyes, I can see in there how much you want to slice my neck. The quick s
