Clyde went to meet Alpha Wade afterwards. Jared returned to his new place while Patrick went back to work.“He didn’t try to kill the man, did he?” Wade asked as soon as he saw the younger alpha.His lip twitched. He really thought that? “You made me curious. What’s the worst scenario you anticipated?”Wade shrugged, “I suppose I expected him to assert his dominance. Challenge him into a fight or something. Beat him up and take the man’s daughter forcibly. But then again, this is Snow Mountain. He can’t do such a thing without serious repercussions. But I don’t know. He can be unpredictable at times. He would have no regard for rules. He already did, didn’t he?”“When are you leaving?” Clyde noticed that he has packed his luggage already.“In a few hours. I’ll be leaving two of my men to watch over Jared. They’re no match to him, though. They&rsquo
The area was residential and most people are still on their duties, so no one noticed him looking in. He could hear someone else is in the house, though. Maybe her mother. When he began to see other people, he decided to leave. He’s not sure if he wanted to see her father this soon. Tomorrow, he’ll see her again. His lip twitched when he felt an irritation inside him. He’s feeling impatient again, wanting to be with her sooner.He audibly exhaled while walking away. He doesn’t want to go back to that tiny place yet so he redirected his steps and continued moving. Soon, he found himself facing the lake. His whole demeanor relaxed at seeing the calm surface, the mountains beyond being reflected on it. It was undoubtedly a great view.When it began to turn dark, he decided to go. He wondered where he’ll get his food. He has money. Plenty of it. Surely, they sell food within the territory, right? He went to find Clyde, ironically the person he
He thought it was a good trait. She’ll be his Luna, so she must be tough. She should be able to confront anyone without fear. He likes how she’s able to directly stare at him. Very few people can. They would normally look away after a while. But then again, it must be because his expression was gentler than usual. It’s still a little intimidating but less scary than the first time she saw him. Polly was trying to make herself immune to his expression. If she stares at him long enough, she would get used to it, yes? Thankfully, his attractiveness seemingly overshadows his scary look. There’s something about his eyes . . . He raised an eyebrow, realizing she’s scrutinizing him. “Fine. A month is still long enough, though. It’s not as if you can’t return here. You can schedule regular visits, you know? It’s not like I’m going to lock you in a room in Blood Moon. You’re free to come here if you want to see your parents.” See? He’s not unreasonable. He can accommodate her needs. He’s no
Jared could only smirk as he faced them. He’s not worried. He found himself having fun, actually.As for Polly, she had a restless nap for some reason. No matter what, she couldn’t sleep soundly.Mid-day, her father came home with a dark expression.“What’s wrong?” Her mother worriedly asked.Patrick turned to his daughter, “Your mate’s being challenged in the training grounds. Everyone who did are being taken down by him. It’s not a good look, even if he’s from the bloodline of an alpha.”Her lip twitched as she imagined the scene, “I’m sure Alpha Clyde wouldn’t mind.”Her father grunted, “That’s not the point. They’re trying to lecture him, but he’s simply beating them up. He was arrogantly saying he did nothing wrong. Can you believe it?”Ugh. Polly was in disbelief. “He was saying that?”The audacity
Polly and her parents were puzzled by his absence. She felt a little worried. Where was he and what could he be doing? Her father didn’t hear any news about him. In the afternoon, her mother reluctantly left her to replenish their supplies. She became nervous, then, hoping he won’t show up when she’s alone in the house. She was relieved when her mother returned without incident. During dinner, they merely mentioned him in passing.The next day, he still didn’t show up. Jared thought a third day would most likely be necessary. He’s getting better at it. He smirked, thinking he could actually stay away from her this long. It’s an achievement on its own. Clyde visited him that night, hearing from his men that he hasn’t left the house.“What were you doing?”“Nothing. Just learning how to control my urges.” He was nonchalant about it, making the alpha frown.“Alright. After the trouble yo
“What’s your name?” Jared directly asked. When he did, Polly’s eyes widened as she faced him again. It was becoming clearer to him.“Ren.”“I’m Leo. That one’s Gareth.”“Well, then. When do you want to begin?”“Are you serious?” She really wanted to put a stop to this. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw how he was looking at Ren. Shit. Did he notice something? He’s almost ignoring the other two and was only focusing on Ren.“We can probably have a go now, right?” Leo suggested.“Don’t.” She bravely approached Jared, grabbing his arm, and pulling him away.“Didn’t you say you want to talk to me? Let’s go. Let’s talk.” She sounded a little frantic, which he definitely noticed.“Hey!” Leo didn’t like how the opportunity was snatched from them.Ren squinted
“Look. Our break’s almost over. I have to go back.”He squinted at her without saying anything. She pursed her lips and began to stand.“I’ll be watching.” He declared and walked with her.“You don’t have to.” She would be conscious of his presence and might mess up.“I don’t have anything to do. Might as well volunteer to be included in your training program.”She doesn’t know what to say to that.Sab won’t show up until after lunch, so they continued with their exercises. Polly tried to ignore him but his presence is just . . . kind of overbearing. Hana showed her a grimace, which she returned.“I mean, I really want to challenge him. It would be good practice.” Leo repeated after a while, slowly exasperating her.Ren’s not sure if the guy would just treat it as practice, though. It would be bad if he goes all out.Gar
Jared didn’t want the training to be too long. After half an hour, he began commenting on their skills and tactics. Of course, he was smug about it and the tone he used was mocking them. Even Ren was slightly provoked and tried to do better.Polly didn’t want to hear him talking at first, as his voice is irritating. But after considering his words, they were quite useful. Even Hana was impressed.“Huh, he’s spot on.”Polly grimaced, not wanting to openly agree. Well, he did say he trained his men. He must have enough experience in that regard. Right, their Alpha is technically the same. It’s probably a skill they have to possess.After about fifteen minutes of coaching them, he was done. He purposely attacked them to cause some minor injuries. It was supposed to render them unable to attack. They would need more than a few minutes to recover, thus giving him the time to escape. So to speak.But that wasn’t
