“Vs Lace you Elie says Irahlessly to Kaide. The surprise his face is evident as she stares at Elise. But the joy was short-lived an heimilistely offened the moment he felt among went of Rygan’s pheromones filled with blood lust.

His hands were bolled in fes, his nose fared in anger. Bis ryetared like deadly daggers towards them, and his jaw tightened in rage with a popped vein that was evident across hested temple

“Who the hell is this?” He snarls at them both, but the moment he lunges to attack Kalise comes in front of Ryan. pushing his massive frame back as his hands are on Kaide’s neckin an instant.

“Rygan, stop!”

“Rygan. I wanted this. I chose him, and you have to respect that she says firmly. Rygan paused at her words. He looked down at Elise, this time really looking at her. He looked into her gare, pleading for him to stand down, and something him broke from her sey blir gaze

A stifling silence grew in the air as Rygan’s hold on him lessened. This time they didn’t register anyone else around them as Rygan sentä voice down the link. “After I told you firmly that you belonged to no one but me he mapped back

“You chose to want to be with me, but I can’t do that, you have family and a pack to run, and I don’t want to be a villain your story. It might be selfish but I want to be treasured by someone,” she states. Their gaze was locked and unflinching

Not until the elder came into the hallway, his presence causing a cold silence to ensue as Rygan’s gaze finally moved away from Elise to Kaide as both males stared each other down. “He’s your friend; don’t do anything, Rygan.” Else pleads once

“Alpha Rygan, the delegates, and the elders are all waiting for you,” the elder says, breaking the tense atmosphere between Kaide and Rygan.

He looks to where Elise’s hands are holding onto Kaide’s armand something close to jealousy burns in him. “I will talk to you later,” he tells Elise before he walks away from them and heads to the meeting room because one more second looking at Kaide made Rygan feel a very tempting urge to bash the beta’s head into the next wall.

So he leaves them in the hallway and walks past the elder and into the room where all the elders and Tarmin are waiting

Taz face formed in confusion when he saw how troubled his friend and alpha king looked. He’d hardly seen Rygan so angry about something like wanting to kill anyone standing next to him, and not a moment later, Kaide walks in.

But after he had told Elise that they would talk later, he was elated. She accepted his proposal, but the timing was sure to ensue a fight between him and Rygan if things weren’t careful. And they were far past that stage.

He knew Rygan to be possessive but had never seen his alpha lose control almost immediately before, and because of a

The meeting started, and Rygan could barely make out a word or even keep track of what the table conversed about; he was silent and brooding, and Tazmin didn’t have the nerve to ask him what was wrong

His soured scent was affecting the whole room as one of the old Deltas rose to gain his attention Alpha, because of the incidents that occurred, it has been suggested that more men be put out to the northern wall, it will increase our chances of taking our enemies down before they can even think of attacking us or think of infiltrating

The older male suggests, but Rygan barely answers, “Um, my lord?” The elders mutter to Rygan, whose mind is in another dark space, but he finally focuses on the meeting and the awaiting gazes of the apprehensive crowd.

“You can do whatever it is you see fit, as long as my people are protected, and I do not want any failure this time,” he says

with a rough grunt to his tone.

“And what about the engagement banquet and mating ceremony? It’s to be expected soon enough, so we need to pick a good selected date,” a female elder speaks out, and this time Rygan couldn’t stop a snarl that erupted from his throat.

“And why isn’t my betrothed here?” He says this, turning to Kaide, who was Alvira’s only relative here.

But Kaide flinched from the accusatory and wicked gaze Rygan gave him, knowing this was more than just about his cousin. being absent from the meeting.

“She might be ill from morning sickness since she is almost a month along now,” the female el

wers. “About the date

“There is no date set!” He snarls, cutting the female off. The whole room goes quiet from his unexpected outrage, and Rygan. is tired of acting like everything is fine at this moment

“Everyone leave this room,” he orders, and the whole room disperses, and the room is emptying up. “Stay,” he orders Kaide, who pauses by the door.

Kaide turns to him, his shoulders squared, as she bathes in attention. He swallows a breath of nervousness as he looks at his Alpha

“You b**d” Rygan started out the moment the doors were closed. He reached Käide in seconds, closing the space between them as he slammed Kaade into the wall.

Tazprtin, who must have still been within earshot of their conversation, walked back into the room on high alert. “yigan, wait, let me explain to you? Kuide chokes out.

What was she talking about! What did the accept! What did you tell her?” “Yoh, I told her to leave me He called, landing punch on the kids face. “She is mine?”

“It’s between me and Elise and what she wants to choose.” he says, but he is immediately cut off by Rygan’s grip on his neck. and that is when Taz decides to jump in.

“Stop Rygan; this is Kaide, you’re about in hurt him,” be

“He kissed her right in front of me He already betrayed and home when he took Flor from me, this is entirely his fault. and I should snaps his neck for taking what is mine.” he snarled pushing his hands further, causing a painful grunt to come from Kaide “So why should I let him go

“Because he is wounded?” he tells Rygan, who pauses. “”The incident today was more than just a sparring incident because Elise almost went out of control and ended up clawing your friend’s flesh ourr

Tazmin argues, making Rygan pause from his words his hands then slowly weaken the bold he has on Kaide’s throat, finally letting the beta ennugh air to breathe.

“What! And you chose not to tell me anything about this?” He gurk, looking at both his friends, who are bobbing their heads. It messed with him, who could he even trust if they could do this to him” “You both did

“We did not think it was a big deal because you have a kingdom jo rule, so let this infatuation with Elise make you lose what is in front of you, brother, your lands and protection have been getting weak Tar continues

“We need to align sides with the vendors. Alvira is our childhood friend as well, and the Beddors, being one of the powerful families in this pack, live connections in other packs, enough to bring Kyren down.” Tazmin says as he walks forward.

His hands rise to rest on Rygan’s shoulders, pressing on them hard enough for Rygan to focus on him. “I am well aware of your feelings and always on your side, but Elise has clearly chosen her side, and you must now too, especially with a child the way he muiters to him.

But that hurts more than it should. His friends were telling him to let go of Elise, and he snarled in response as he pushed Tazmin’s hand off him. “You both have disappointed me today, he said before he turned his back on his friends and walked away to the door.

“Rygan, wait, let’s talk this out,” Kaide called in a h**se tone to the Alpha.

“It will be fine to talk it out with you when I know you haven’t betrayed me when I’ve talked to Elise and understand what is happening,” he snarls as he slams the doors in their faces.

He pays no mind to the guards or his other shocked attendees who are confused but read the blaring warning signs to stay away from him. They all bowed and avoided eye contact with their alpha.

And right now, he was a man with a mission; he was going to confront Elise. He couldn’t lose her, not like this. His wolf wants her, and he wants her too. And his body, mind, and soul already belong to her.

And he would never let her go. As he walked out of the foyer and into the courtyard, his shoulder made contact with one of the delta guards, who was almost knocked over his footings from the impact.

“I’m sorry, Alpha. I didn’t see you there.” On a good day, Rygan wouldn’t have given the male another pass or look, but something had made him peer down when the male had bowed.

Just at the corner of his eye, the Delta’s shirt had shifted, showing the lines of his neck, when Rygan saw a red blotching claw mark. Evidence of someone’s struggle with the male wolf.

His eyes widened, recalling Elise’s words about fighting back and leaving marks on her abductor’s body. “It was you.” Rygan.

“A-alpha?, I don’t understand what you mean.”

“You took Elise,” and with those words, the Della’s eyes immediately filled with guilt and panic over being caught, and Rygant knew this was who they’d been looking for.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

The Delta tried to escape, racing through the courtyard to find a way out of the moon house to flee from the scene, but Rygan was twice as fast, moving at lightning speed and attacking the Delta with a kick to his leg, shortly incapacitating him.

The male fell to the ground in a rough crash, his grunts filled with pain, his eyes large and desperate for a way to escape, “Tell me who sent you!” Rygan roared, taking the Delta by his collar and smashing his face against the wall

Rygan showed no mercy, he forced the male up as he bashed his head against the wall, his anger rising as he punched the male. “I will never tell you; I will be dead if I do!” The man says it frantically.

“Then allow me to be the one who leads you to the underworld.” Rygan snarls, he wastes no time, letting his heavy fist meet the Delta’s jaw. The sound of bones crunching from impact fills the courtyard.

The only thing he recalled was finding Elise in that cave, wounded, and the sleepless nights he knew Elise had after her abduction. He knew because on those days he couldn’t sleep either, so he’d shift to his wolf and patrol by the trees close to her balcony, hiding in the shadows if she felt someone watching. But he was protecting her in hiding.

“Rygan, stop; you’re going to kill him!” T**s voice comes into the courtyard as he begins to rush to the alpha side to stop him.

“This monster hurt Elise; he abducted her,” he tells Taz, who takes a second to register that this is one of the men they have been looking for but knows he needs to calm the situation or the suspect will be dead in Rygan’s hands before they can do something about it.

“And we will make him pay, but we need him to be alive to find the others who worked with him,” Taz explains to Rygan as they both look at the unconscious and barely breathing male, and from his bl**dy jaw, he has gotten a taste of his Alpha’s wrath

Ryan knew Taz was right, even though he hated it. The then calls for two guards, who trudge forward to pick up the unconscious Delia. “Take him to the dungeons,” he instructs.

“We have to ask Elise if she left any other marks”

“No,” Rygan cuts in. “She will have no idea about this; I cannot let that trauma haunt her again.” Rygan tells Taz, who nods, understanding his order.

“Of course… I will tell Kaide so he can interrogate the bastard; we will find them, Rygan; don’t worry,” the beta mutters with a pat on Rygan’s shoulder. Before he heads down to the dungeon.

The adrenaline still rushed in Rygan; he recalled when Elise was attacked and wounded because of them. He felt that creeping darkness and bloodlust rise, wishing he could turn around and go kill the bastard.

He needed something to calm him down, and only one person could do it right now, he needed to see Elise.
