Chapter 56
After Elise and Rygan reached an agreement, they informed both betas about their part and their plans to meet with Rygan for her shifting and sparring lesson
Kade watched in disbelief and silence, knowing Rygan was seizing any opportunity to be with her, but he couldn’t say znything. Rygan was a more experienced and powerful teacher than he was.
Elise lef, the three males stayed back at Ta***’s home to discuss th to deal with Kyren
lans for tightening security before devising how
“I can’t believe the wants to meet that monster. Red has guts, I tell you” Tax muttered from the other side of the table while Kaide leaned by the window, watching Pygan, who sat by the couch, his hand resting on a cup of moonshine
I can’t believe that Kyren dared to ask for this after what he did Kaide added.
“We plan to kill him, yes? Taz asked while Rygan quietly nursed his drink, recalling those barren months spent in Kyren’s dungeon tortured by his men.
It was the price he had to pay for getting Alvira and his female wolves released when they were caught by the human hunt, and the only way through the deal was to seek help from Kyren, who had an agreement with them.
But it was too late for Rygan to realize that it was a deal between Kyren and the bloodthirsty humans. They knew he was severely affected when Alana, his childhood sweetheart, was killed by them when she tried to enter their lands bur was gravely muunderwood by the humans
The’s why Rygan didn’t hesitate and agreed to be taken prisoner for his pack members to be freed when they were ambushed; he didn’t want to lose anyone again, and that decision led to months of bloody duels of death, being abused to the point of death but kept alive each day to slowly suffer in Kyren’s camp.
All the females sent to have his heir were killed when they couldn’t conceive because an alpha’s child needed a strong female to carry his offspring
He thought he would never see the surface or his pack again, not until Elise came into that cell and his life changed forever.
Rygan? Taz called to him, breaking him out of that dark, buried memory.
“Yeah. I was just thinking he muttered, taking the last shot of his drink before he stood. “No matter what, I won’t let him take her, and I’ll protect her no matter what,” he said to his friends before he left Ta** home.
He ended up in the moon house in a few minutes, reaching his chambers, and immediately caught a whiff of a familiar scent that he didn’t want to encounter right now.
“Alvira,” he muttered as he opened the door wider to see her on the couch, her gaze fixed on the fireplace.
“You can’t be serious about letting that man in here,” she muttered, her face filled with panic. Unlike anything Rygan had ever seen, he’d never seen her so restless, but right now, he was more than angry with her.
“I do not want to have this conversation with you after the foolish stunt you pulled with the Elders, Alvira; I cannot trust you anymore,” he muttered coldly.
This time, Alvira stood up, her gaze filled with pain as she reached Rygan’s side. “Why are you doing this all for her? Remember, I’m the one you are supposed to be getting mated to: you are supposed to be on my side!” She exclaimed.
She began pacing back and forth. “I thought I was doing what was right; I thought you would want me to tell the elders,” she lied
“You know **n well the Elders always try to find an easy way out, they suggested that I give Elise back to that b**d.
“And why don’t you?” silence fell after those words, and his eyes turned dark as he faced Alvira.
“She is his betrothed, he has more right over her; there must have been a misunderstanding that made her run away, she argued.
“That misunderstanding led Elise to be put in a dungeon-like animal, offered to the surviving champion, and for her to be abused-” He stopped with a snarl, he didn’t want to tell Elise a big secret and what she had to endure because of him when he forcefully took her innocence in that dark cell.
“He cannot be near her, and that is why I’ll be training her myself, she needs to learn how to shift on command: she barely survived in the woods when she was taken.”
Alvira’s face grew sour with contempt as she raged. “That is not your responsibility to train her! You can give that job to my cousin of Taz, why must it be you?” She screamed.
“Your king does not need to answer to you,” he snarled at her, Alvira’s eyes turned desperate.
“I don’t want her near you, not after she tried to kill me and your child; remember, I am with your child!” She called. caressing her stomach.
“Remember, I am marrying you and not her, so act like it and stop acting jealous?” he told Alvira
“How can I not when all I see when I look at her is how much she wants you? That is why I don’t want her close to you. Can’t you see how much I love you, Rygan?” She claimed.
Tears spilled from her face as she said those words. She wanted Rygan to feel guilty enough to let Elise go, but Rygan didn’t.
My decision is final. Alvira,” he said to her.
Alvira sniffled as he walked over to her. She went to his alcohol tray, taking a wine cup that is fixed for him before she brought it to him.
“Alright then,” she called before handing him the cup. Her hands then moved to the hard expanse of his chest, touching and caressing him lightly as she went on her tiptoes to kiss him, but he moved his face away,
And this time Kygan didn’t take her drink; instead, he smacked it till it fell to the ground. And Alvira jumped back in shock from the splatter. “I don’t think I’ll fall for that s**t… Like I said before. Alvira, you should see yourself out; it’s better if we don’t see at all till the ceremony.”
“Rygan..”NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
-Out, now.” He snarled, and she went to the door. Anger and embarrassment flooded her cheeks as she turned back to**ап
“I’ll never let Elise have you,” she said to Rygan before she left. “Never”
She’d make it impossible for them to be together
