13. Confrontation

Terra looked at the alpha on the opposite side of the table and then at the child who had chosen to sit far from her and was very displeased as both of them seemed not to take her seriously.

'whatever, let me just get this over with and leave.'

"I don't think there is much to say to you alpha raven. The child stays here until my king renews his claim to the throne and then he will be sent for." she looked at him with a smug face.

"Do you have any objections on the matter?" She looked at him with a more provocative look. As if daring him to say otherwise. Raven clenched his hand hard to hold back his raising temper but before he could reply to this annoying woman a voice sounded.

" My father will be thrilled to find out that the person he sent to peacefully negotiate my stay with the Frostfall pack seems to take pleasure in angering it's Alpha." Ruben's voice was as low and unused feeling as before but the treat inlaid within it was obvious.

He turned his eyes towards Terra with a look of mockery in it.

" My father will not place me a group of weaklings, that I know very well. But it seems you think otherwise. I don't mind if you do, but you should have said so before we left home."

Alpha raven turned a little and leaned on the chair in a relaxed manner, very different from his previous tension.

'oh I like his pup' he thought with a slight smile on his face. He knew fun was on the way from the look of the annoying woman's face.

"Since you don't like nor respect this pack so much that it's become obvious to me, a child, i think we return home so my father would know and make a different choice that suits you more."

At this point, Terra was both sacred and angry. The kings words were never to be played with, if the boy was sent back right now, then she would be asking for death.

To tournament was starting soon and it would have almost begun when they arrived if they leave now.

which would mean that there would be no time to go to another place to hide the boy and the king's plans would become void. If anytime should then befall the child, the king's anger would lead to her death.

Terra looked at ruben in anger and hatred. This boy was trying to get her killed.

"I really don't recommend you showing your prince such a look miss." came a voice that brought terra from her place of hatred.

The voice sounded amused and disgusted at her, it the werewolf alpha.

"To look at your prince with a face like that, are you afraid he would misunderstand you perhaps." Alpha raven said as the hateful woman turned towards him with a glare.

"I have no ill intent" terra said through gritted teeth.

These words only earned her a laugh of disgust from the man. Terra could only look on as she tried not to shift into her beast form and attack him as he would have reasons then to refuse ruben's stay and she also wasn't sure she could take him in a fight.

The prince said this pack could not too weak if his father had chosen them to guard him. She had to be careful. So she turned to the boy, hoping he wouldn't stupidly put her in a hard spot. But the look in his eyes gave her pose.

Ruben's eyes met terra's in mid-air, this woman was becoming more and more unrestrained after his mother's passing. Even daring to covert her place in his father's heart and her throne.

"Aunt terra, am young not stupid. Please stop insulting me. Who do you think my father would believe should we return home now, you or me?"
