"Good morning pretty boy!" Adrian greeted as soon as he walked into Ryan's office with Ivan following closely behind him.
"It's way too early for you to be this noisy Adrian," Ryan drawled tiredly, wondering how Adrian always woke up with so much energy in the morning, whereas he woke up with little to no energy at all.
"Well, you can say I'm in a great mood today cause you won't believe who's finally back with us," Adrian said, wearing a grin on his face and seating on the available seat opposite Ryan with Ivan taking a seat beside him.
"What is Adrian talking about?" Ryan asked, directing his attention away from Adrian to Ivan.
"Good morning Sir," Ivan greeted first with a slight bow.
Amelia stared lazily at the mirror in front of her with a worried look on her face. After Ryan had suddenly informed her that she was going to be introduced to the council today, she hasn't stopped staring at herself in the mirror.She immediately started to rehearse her words and her reaction but even after talking to herself and picturing how the entire situation would play out in her head, she still felt very nervous and unsure about the idea of putting herself out there.She had suggested the idea to Ryan back when she thought she was confident enough to face them but right now, she wasn't feeling as confident as she thought she'd be. Another reason she even suggested that Ryan introduced her to the council was because she was sick and tired of having to stay cooped up in her room all day with Isabel
"I'm sorry but isn't Alpha Ryan running a little too late? He should have shown about half an hour ago," Cassius spoke up, tapping his feet as he was getting impatient."He also tells us not to show up late like we don't have our personal lives to attend to but here he is wasting our time and keeping us waiting. So much for leading by example," Nigel scoffed."Can you two just be quiet and wait patiently like the rest of us? Your complaining isn't exactly going to do anything but disturb us," Lord Fritz spoke up, not masking his irritation and Nigel scowled at him.Nigel and Fritz were two people that never got along and will probably never get along. Nigel couldn't stand Fritz for being a supposed prim and proper man who took pride in his dignity and his h
"Well, look who finally decided to show up? What took you so long Alpha Ryan? Did you actually forget that we sat here waiting to meet you and your precious mate sir?" Camille spoke, placing her palms together and staring intensely at Ryan.Amelia's attention is immediately drawn to the lady's voice and as soon as her eyes met with Camille's face, her jaw drops slightly. When Isabel had mentioned that she had seen a beautiful woman that looked like a goddess, Amelia did not really expect Isabel's words to be close to true at all. She had believed that Isabel was simply being dramatic as usual but seeing Camille with her very own eyes now, she could definitely attest to the fact that this woman was an actual goddess and she was slightly intimidated by how beautiful she was."I'll apologize to those that I actua
"Did you all see how that wench humiliated us? He didn't even regard the fact that we are older than she is," Cassius snapped as soon as six of the council members excluding Lionel and Fritz, gathered in Nigel's office."Tell me about it. I almost broke my fingers, trying to control myself from going off at her," Ethan replied, recalling how he hasn't stopped clenching and unclenching his fists.He did not expect that Amelia would talk down at them on the very first day of meeting with them. In fact, they had all expected that she'd be slightly intimidated by them but seeing how she spoke to them with so much confidence, she wasn't what they expected at all."You're oddly quiet, Lord Nigel. Usually, I'd expected that you would make the most noise since you
"Our dear Lady Amelia has arrived!" Isabel sang in a high pitch voice, attempting to tease Amelia who had just walked in with both Ryan and Adrian walking in behind her."Stop it Isabel!" Amelia hushed her."Stop what exactly? You mean hyping up my best friend? Why should I do that? Who else is going to hype you up if not me," Isabel teased and Amelia rolled her eyes."No offense sweetie but I don't need you to hype me up. I'm already embarrassed enough as it is," Amelia told her and Isabel frowned."Why? What happened? Did you mess up? Was it bad? Did you stutter? Did you get lost in your thoughts or wait a second, did you fall flat on your face?" Isabel blurted out with a dramat
"Fuck!" Both Kira and Damien spoke simultaneously as they quickly got off the bed.While Kira was almost naked with her breasts exposed, Damien was still fully clothed. He hurriedly passed her nightwear to her and she quickly put in on. She fixed up her messy hair with her fingers so the situation doesn't seem to obvious to her aunt.She walked to her wardrobe to get herself robe so she could wrap around herself and not look too exposed."Goodness!" she muttered."Kira!" her aunt called again."Yes auntie," she replied as she walked to the door and with a deep breath, she opened up the door but only halfway.."Were you asleep?" Layla asked.Kira cleared her throat. "Asleep? No...not really," she stuttered while rubbing the back of her neck nervously."Okay I see. Can I come in then?" she asked with her br
Ryan walked towards where Adrian had sat, watching him pick up random stones and throwing them around as if to vent.He sighed. "You realise you're being really weird, right?" Ryan spoke up, moving closer to Adrian and taking a seat beside him on the bench where he sat."If you're here to bother me, just leave cause I'm not in the mood," Adrian warned him quickly, throwing the stones in his hands as far as he could."Are you telling me to leave you alone? Is that how you address your Alpha?" Ryan teased like he usually did and Adrian scoffed dryly."Alpha Ryan, do you need me to do anything for you? I mean, anything pack related?" he asked, staring back at Ryan with a serious look on his face.Ryan's brows creased in confusion. "Since when did you start to take me so seriously? You know very well that I'm only messing with you," he said, not hiding the fact that he was displeased with Adrian's attitude.
"You're being completely delusional Amelia," Isabel stated calmly, gulping down the glass of orange juice that she had requested from the servant."Am I being delusional? Really girl? Are you seriously going to deny what I witnessed yesterday?" Amelia questioned and Isabel sighed."What exactly did you witness that's making you so paranoid? Was it the fight Adrian and I had yesterday? Is that anything new at all? The only difference between our argument from yesterday and the arguments we've been having in the past few weeks is that, you my dear friend, was unfortunate enough to be present. Adrian and I argue almost every time we run into each other and trust me, it's no longer a big deal," Isabel explained but Amelia wasn't ready to let go of her suspicion just like that.
