Chapter 16

Princet ar Aldrich Time: 3:00 Pith. [Same day runs may watch with a bored look on my lace the Alpha Earthlight pack, along with his betagets into a heated argument with head hunter Stanley Hane and his deputy.

Brennan Silver. Yeah, werewolf hunters have their sumame to mean something lethal to us beasts. And even though some of them, like silver, can’t actually hurt us, they still use them.

All other officials from both the Earthlight pack and the hunters also join the arguments, not even considering that royalty was in their midst. I want to snap all of their necks and toss their bodies in some river somewhere. But even though I can in just a few seconds, I know that I’ll never hear the end of it from my father, king of all beasts, and my brother, the first Prince. Especially since my brother’s mate is an ex-hunter. Man, their love story was one hell of a storm..

I would love to be anywhere else than here right now, but father has made it clear that must deal with all of this shit as soon as possible. Earthlight pack claims a group of rague Werewolves infiltrated their pack and killed some of their best warriors using arrows belonging to werewolf hunters, before kidnapping some of their unmated she-wolves. Earthlight pack is a small pack located in the deep woods of Idyllwild. Just like Red Moon Pack in Oakland In killing a w olf ariskanth -W iben isih Habillement forthejob. But lurus Lyn dorthing.

They ace in the intermediaries between the humans and buasi, claiming to be protectors. But to mi, they’re just another set of pesky humans, trying to act smarter than us by putting us in check.

if it were up to me, I would have gotten rid of every single one of them. And i think every werewolifeels the They like to meddle a lot in affairs that don’t concern them, and it only irritates me a lot. Any relationship between beasts and humans is monitored strictly by them, and sometimes, they get too demanding in wanting their own But ifleven so much as lay a finger on them, my father would have my neck, literally Earthlight pack believes the hunters to be in cahoots with the rogues because their arrows were used in the Her , their phe hallow the holda True, Ehe h e the symbol woll’s bone itu tetching that’s their stupid crest, a lower unic in my mind, wondering whater came up with that da.

“Just becauce it has our frest don’t mean we attached your s y evouse alla pack” Stanley, the headhunter retorts with a sheer. This alicītu a set of grows from the werewolves in the room, and Maverick’s bila, Aaron, push forward to sarl at the hunter.

“Enough!” I grew loudly, already aggravated at their childish banter, and my patience last already. The werewolves in the room nove back and bare their necks öpen in a sign of submission. But the hunters don’t bulge much as my aura rarely affects them. That’s the thing with humans. They are hard to control.

I have this acting feeling, though, that something isn’t right. And my beast prancing about in my head isn’t helping It’s been just a few hours since I last saw my mate, and I’m already feeling restless, Ah...my sweet Ellie. Such an innocent thing she is. She doesn’t even know the act of kissing, but I’m willing to teach her everything she needs to know, everything she needs to WAL pluched but oh solighupinile can’t reach for her with my hand, but i could onlcm har la com o me willingly Touldn’t wait to sink my aching dames into her sweet neck almal slow dellous love to her: Okay, maybe !

Wunt by solo The problem is thai damn Alpha mut she thought is her That. If only I could get rid of him without anyone’s knowledge. His existence alone in making it hard for Ellie to S and accept me as her mate. He is a little thom in my path, a tiny wood splinter in my thumb But not to worry. I just need him to slip up a little, for him to give me a chance to end him, and I won’t hesitate to take it. This k one of the reasons I’m allowing my Ellie freedom to go to school. If that damned Alpha mutt so much as makes a move on her, I’ll just put an end to his miserable life, and no one would challenge me since I have the right to.

Anyone who tries to steala mate from another, usually, is given severe punishment. The mate bond is considered sacred and taken very seriously.

Right now, though, I have this slight ache in my chest that’s causing me to feel uneasy. I need to see my Ellie or at least hear she’s safe, or i’ll go crazy thinking about her. I just need to get out of this excuse for a meeting first. I have some of my men watching her, so she’ll be safe and can’t go anywhere without my knowledge.

“B...but your Highness,” Stanley dares to speak up. “They attacked us...”

*This same disrespect is what’s made me postpone this metine You’ll do well to keep quiet and only speak when spoken ta.” My eyes are dead set on him, and I notice his Adam’s apple bob before he looks away. Even though he looks older than me, I still have more power and years. I only seem this young because of Lycan genes.

“I will notify you when the next meeting’s date is set. In the meantime, you all should reflect on the bad manners you displayed today. Because next time, I won’t be so forgiving regardless of who you are.” I pin my gaze on the hunters, so they would understand I also meant them. Fear is good, and I need them to always have that when they see 1. me. This way, they won’t be able to disrespect me ever again.

I honestly could do without him, butang mon, my Sacher must have his way. He has been appointed to me night from when I was a kid and hasn’t left my side since then, and He is only a few years older than me. And just like me, he’s Lycan, so he also is very slowly.

I pull out my phone to call my cousin, Lexi, first. She’s at Ellie’s college too, she must know where she is.

She picks on the second rime. “Hhey. Reagan. How’s it frown as she never stutt only when she has dane something awfully wrong. What’s wrong I dondpan, navigating my way through the packhout before arriving at the front door. I ignore the real aceive on the way and the firty eyes of the she-wolves.

“What? Why would you think _.”

“Where is she?” Icut heroit to ask. She bomow who l’irri talking about, and my fear increases as she doesn’t answer quickly Fear. When last had I felt that?

What if something really bad happens before I get there?

“Calm down first, will you.” She is me, but only prowl louder at her. “Okay Time I’ve been looking for her for about an hour now and she’s nowhere to be found. Some Holds said they saw her and her former mate’s mate, Staty, I think, behind the school building. But after that, they haven’t seen her since.”

I clench my jaw as I listen to her, and I’m sure my eyes were already glowing bright gold. i knew it. I should have taken care of the Alpha mutt and his mate. She shouldn’t be able to hurt my Ellie as her wolf was getting stronger by the day, but what if that bitch had brought back up.

Ellie’s wolf was going through some transformation right now, preparing to be marked by me, and that’s why she would be stronger, faster, and better than an average Werewolf. She might even be able to take on an Alpha right now. When the transformation is complete, my beast would be able to mark her in her beast form, turning her fully into a Lycan.

I can feel the excitement of my beast at the thought of that. He can’t wait to claim what was his.

My heart tug paintuilly in my chest, and my breathing gets erratic. My beast is howling in pain in my head, and a wave of nausea hits me.

But very soon my ringtone blares inside the car, and before I could even pick it, I felt a wave of exhaustion cloud my senses. My heart tugs painfully in my chest, and my breathing gets erratic. My beast is howling in pain in my head, and a wave of nausea hits me.

“Are you alright, boss,” Adrian asks, worriedly looking at 1. me.

“Step on it, Adrian!” I order with a loud bark, and he obliges without another question. I already know what I’m about to hear when I pick up the phone. This feeling was caused by only one thing.
