Collin raised his eyebrows with a mischievous and meaningful look when Draghar said that they needed a few more nights to continue this journey.
"You have done it, haven't you?" he asked, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively as he said that, as if he knew everything Draghar was doing.
Or... maybe it was already very clear what Draghar had done to Aurora, no need to guess so hard.
"You marked her, didn't you?" Collin asked in a low, flirtatious voice, winking one eye."So how? Is he to your taste?" he asked again.
Hearing this, there was an angry growl from behind Draghar's throat."Watch your words."
Hearing that threatening tone, Collin backed away slightly and then shrugged his shoulders, as if it was no big deal to him.
"Hey, I was just joking, " he said, raising his hand, but then his next words didn't show at all that he was joking when he said that."But, you know how things are in our pack, I am not sure she can adapt well to the people there."
That was something Draghar had in mind. He knew very well what the condition of the pack was and would not let Aurora suffer because of it.
"If my mate can't adapt to them, then they have to adapt to her, " Draghar said in a firm and very clear voice. His eyes showed a determination to do so.
On the other hand, Collin just raised his eyebrows and said casually."You will fight with all of them to make your wish come true?" there was a hint of disbelief and tiredness in his voice.
"If that's what is required, " said Draghar.
There was a moment of silence in the hallway of the hotel room when the Alpha and the Beta just fell silent. They seemed to be in each other's minds and the atmosphere in the corridor became so quiet that Collin finally decided to end it with a statement that Draghar couldn't avoid.
"You know that how she lives in her pack is a very different matter from how people live in ours, right? They won't just accept outsiders, " Collin said. He then glanced at the room where the three lycans who had come with them were staying the night.
Of course Collin didn't want to be in the same room with wild and uncivilized creatures as they were, but he wasn't sure the news of this delay would be good news for the three of them.
Indeed last night Draghar had given one or two 'advices', but that didn't mean they would take this delay for granted.
"Aurora is my mate, which makes herself a Luna, they should respect that, " Draghar confirmed his words.
Only, Collin sighed heavily, as if he had known beforehand that would be Draghar's answer.
"You know that it won't be a solid basis for them to be nice to Aurora. They are beasts. They have long forgotten such a system, " Collin reminded Draghar.
"Then I'll be the one to remind them that things can no longer go the way they want. And the system that the alpha had before, is gone, because I am their alpha now, it's my words that they have to hear." Draghar glared at Collin and the Beta looked down.
"I would be very happy if it could be done well...and soon, " he said, then he raised his hand to scratch his head which wasn't itchy.
Things he often does when feeling frustrated or feeling uneasy.
There were so many complicated variables and with just one look at how Alpha Torak's pack was, of course Collin knew that the way Aurora has been raised and the environment that has been around her all this time, would not match their pack.
The situation in the Blood Moon pack only got worse and worse when the previous Alpha decided to get out of the territory of the supreme Alpha Torak.
One could say it was an unfit place to live in.
It was only because Draghar was the strongest of them that the place was still habitable.
Yes, everything in the Blood Moon pack depended on how strong you were. Because once you show weakness, there would be no mercy for you.
Therefore, seeing how Aurora looked so sweet and gentle, it really didn't suit their pack.
Collin initially thought that Draghar would leave Aurora in her pack, or... as people always said to the Alpha in the past, that he would soon be rejected by the woman who would become his mate, but that didn't happen.
"I'll make sure of that, " Draghar said, then he turned around, about to go back into his room and accompany Aurora, but before that he turned to Collin and said, "you take care of the three of them."
Hearing the task, Collin groaned."Can't I just kill them all? So there's no need for unnecessary bickering?"
================
Draghar returned to the room where he left Aurora who was still asleep, the woman showed absolutely no sign that she would wake up soon.
Gently and with dedication, Draghar then took a clean bandage and replaced the bandage on Aurora's neck which was red with blood.
At this rate, Aurora would lose a lot of blood... would this be okay? Was it okay?
Draghar was annoyed that he didn't have anyone he could trust to share this anxious feeling.
Or rather, Draghar was used to harboring what he felt. Except for anger and aloofness, there wasn't much emotion that Draghar showed to outsiders.
This really frustrated him and it had been a long time since he had been afraid of something. In fact, there was a point in his life, where he was not afraid of anything, even death itself was not a big thing for him, since many times he had stepped his foot in the face of death, even though it didn't seem like the right time to go any further.
Only now...𝑓ree𝘄e𝗯𝗻ov𝒆l - 🅽🅽novel
Draghar has a will to live and protect that was much stronger than anything else...
