Chapter 22: Mass production

"Those tech suits are amazing and l'm impressed to say the least," The lycan king, Alaric uttered as he nodded his head.

They were in his office and the Lycan king was seated on his leather chair. There was Nehora, Rebecca, Adelda, Relpha and the Royal advisor and beta, Mark.

Nehora, Rebecca and Relpha were also seated just across Alaric while Mark stood one metre away from Alaric's left side and the unexpected Adelda on his right side who was perhaps just there to annoy Nehora as she was not even needed.

'l only wanted to impress Rosa, but l will only think of your praise as bonus,' Rebecca thought as she stared at Alaric and stared at Adelda who was there.

"Thank you for your praise, your highness, but l will like to ask who this she-wolf before we proceed?" Rebecca inquired while staring at Adelda who stood there, her hand on his shoulder.

"She is my mate, Adelda and as a future Queen of the Alvina kingdom. She has the right to be here, don't you think?" Alaric uttered calmly as he glared at Rebecca who just nodded in understanding.

Alaric's words angered Nehora as she clutched her fists, but she didn't show her anger on her face, but rather glared at the pair coldly.

This didn't go unnoticed by Relpha as he clearly sat next to her and saw her behavior.

He narrowed his eyes suspicious and stared at the pair and Nehora.

Relpha then focused once again, but after this meeting he was going to inquire her of her unusual behavior.

"The reason, I asked for your presence here was if you could mass produce tech suits, but for humans this time." Alaric said,

"Why sho-," Rebecca was stopped uprightly by Nehora as she turned to stare at Alaric.

"Is it for the humans in the PROTECTORS organization?" Nehora inquired as she thought that was the only reason for this.

"Yes, since we are in this together with them and with the lab that we provided for the CMST. It will be possible as the lab is big even for this."

"Alright, l will do that right away as they say the sooner, the better. What mass production are we talking about?" Rebecca, the lead scientist said with a smirk.

"About 10,000 approximately." Mark uttered.

"It will be done. Just give me a week." Rebecca uttered with a smile.

"Then l'm happy to hear that. You are all dismissed." Alaric uttered and all of them out except for Mark, Adelda and Alaric.

As they walking through the hallway, Rebecca has already left in a hurry leaving Relpha and Nehora.

Nehora looked angry and was silent while walking.

Relpha was beside Nehora and he finally spoke,"Is he your mate?"

Nehora stopped in her tracks and glared at Relpha,"Who are you talking about?" she inquired.

"The Lycan king,of course." Relpha answered as he looked Nehora who was stunned.

"What gave you that idea?" Nehora uttered, trying to act like she didn't know, but rather looked annoyed as she hastily walked away, but Relpha followed.

"Don't try to deny it,Rosa! He hurt you!" Relpha shouted as he roughly grabbed her shoulder.

"Forget about it! Okay? This is my business, not yours." she uttered, sad and pulled away her shoulder from his grip.

" The reason l involve in this business is because l care about you. l know deep inside you are hurting eventhough you try hard to seem like you don't care at all, Rosa.

You know his actions considered a treason as this action of his of loving another could be the downfall of the kingdom. He could be punished!"

His words, stinged her alittle bit when he mentioned she was pretending to not be hurt.

"l know you care, but l can take of myself." Nehora said in a sad tone and she just sighed in defeat.

"l will be going to my bedroom. Good night." Nehora uttered as she walked away, leaving Relpha in the hallway.

'You didn't have to be so harsh on him.' Hestia uttered.

'...'Nehora was silent in response and Hestia just sighed by looking at Nehora's behaviour.

"l swore to myself that once you did that request my life belongs to you and once someone hurts you...death, shall it be." Relpha muttered as his expression darkened, Nehora's figure disappearing.

##____####_____####_____

It was the next morning and Nehora was in the lab where the CMST were located.

The team have already began with the production of the suits for the humans in the PROTECTORS organization.

"Ah, you already started with the suits." Nehora uttered as she looked at the machines manufacturing the suits.

"Well, it's not like we got anything to do other than train the troops on how to use the tech suits." Veronica answered while she was staring at the tablet screen, tapping.

"Fair enough. l did see Rebecca along with Rico helping out there."

Veronica just nodded while still glued at the tablet. By the way, Belbin was managing the machine for the suits.

"What changes did you make on these suits then?" Nehora inquired.

"Nothing much...just some added holsters on the pants for their tech suits.

"That's all." Nehora uttered, disappointed.

"Eh... what were you expecting? Some robomachine like transformers or something. This is as far as we can go." Belbin uttered, surprised by Nehora's disappointment and Nehora bursted out laughing.

"Hahahahaha.l'm joking, l'm joking. Geez, no need to be surprised, Belbin. Your suits are already amazing." Nehora uttered as she wiped off the tears in her eyes, holding her stomach.

"That's not funny, okay...we really worked hard on those suits. You know." Belbin uttered, fuming in anger.

"Okay, okay.l'm sorry. l'll be going now. l have what l came here for." Nehora said as she walked to the door, waving goodbye to them.

Belbin and Veronica waved to her in return as well.
