CHAPTER 7

Lovely blush.

After a wonderful night's sleep with my lovely partner, I went back to the packhouse.

I've been worried about you, where the hell have you been, Bren shouted at me. I guess I should have told him. Being the King means that my life is always in danger. I never feel secure.

Bren, don't worry too much about me. "I spent the night with Alana," I chuckled as I told her.

"Okay.

The next time, however, at least inform me in advance.

".

"Okay, Dad," I sarcastically retorted.

".

Then he shot me an angry glance.

I was sitting in my office working on Alpha. I left Alana's house several hours ago. I wanted time to move more quickly so I could meet my gorgeous partner while she was at work, but instead it seems to be mocking and teasing me. I sigh.

The door to the room suddenly opened, and Bren stormed in with a worried and indignant expression.

I got to my feet and enquired, "What happened?".

"Rogues happened and that too, near our Luna's house," he growled angrily.

".

"WHAT!" I cried out.

He nodded as a reply.

I gritted my teeth and ordered, "Get our best warriors, and let's go and hunt those fuckers.

".

If those jerks even dared to touch her hair, I vowed to bathe them in silver and rip off each of their limbs one at a time.

Are you prepared? I asked.

Let's move on.

".

I answered, "Yes, Alpha," as Bren and a few of my best warriors transformed into wolves and sprinted off.

We returned to human form as soon as we arrived at the area where people live.

When Bren nodded and followed the warriors, I said to him, "You search the area, and I'm going to Alana's house.

".

As I was making my way to Alana's house, I was freaking out and wondering what my wolf and I would do if those filthy rouges even touched her.

The rogue was still very much present when I got to her home. He was just here a moment ago, judging by the strong odour. I growled loudly at the thought of where Alana might be. I frantically searched every room in her house. Even though it was very faint, her sweet scent could still be detected in her room, indicating that she was there before the rogues arrived. I felt a little better, I guess. She was almost due at work, so I hurriedly left her house and went to her place of employment.

Having passed, I entered immediately. She was there looking beautiful and serene, the exact opposite of how I was feeling just moments earlier. When I realised she was safe, my body tensed up and I exhaled a sigh of relief. Following that, I hurried to encircle her with my arms.

Her small stature fits right in with mine.

My arms were tightly wrapped around her small waist, my nose nestled in the crook of her neck. I inhaled her wonderful scent and my wolf relaxed. After a short while, I realised what I was actually doing, and I quickly withdrew with my eyes wide with guilt, surprise, and worry. I may have scared her away by being the one to make eye contact because I hugged her without thinking.

I started by explaining.

I'm sincerely sorry. I had no intention of doing that. I'll assure you not to worry. I won't say it again. Alana, please control yourself. I stopped when someone's arms wrapped around me and hugged me. I can't believe Alana is hugging me; am I dreaming this? But then a scent of vanilla and roses suddenly enveloped me, proving that she is indeed the one hugging me.

"Idiot.

"Hug her back!" yelled Bryce as he jumped up and down in excitement.

I then did.

She had her arms around my waist, and I gave her a tight back hug. My face was in her neck's bend. It's perfect timing, I thought as I grinned.

Ares, don't be alarmed. I think I can say with confidence that I won't be harmed by you. As she muttered, "So, it's okay," I trembled. My wolf was begging me to mark her right away, but he was so content that I ignored him. I cut the link. The stupidest thing I could do would be to avoid doing anything that might scare her and mark her without letting her know who I was.

After a moment she drew back and stared with those deep ocean blue eyes.

I gave her the biggest smile I could muster and thanked her sincerely for her faith in me.

I reassured her, "I swear, I won't ever let you get hurt.".

As she nodded and averted her gaze, her cheeks began to blush. My companion flushed. She was blushing so sweetly, I had to use all of my self control to keep from marking and claiming her right away. I did it for her even though it was ver

y challenging. She is my soulmate, and I would do anything for my lovely Alana.
