Chapter 16
Eros let out a gasp of sadness. He rose slowly from his seat and walked briskly toward his office. As he walked forward, he heard a shrill voice calling out to him.
“Eros, wait. I need to talk to you about Gin. It was all a misunderstanding on your part. She had no intention of pushing the queen’s daughter. He knows it’s a crime to mess with royal wolves. His intention was simply to check if the girl was okay, because he saw her alone with no one to protect her,” Lamia explained, seeking Eros’ help.
“Who are you to defend her, let Lamia not discover that you had something to do with what Gin was going to do, I saw clearly her intentions, she almost pushed her into the water, if you want to plead for her you must go to the queen, she will decide her punishment.” I have nothing more to talk to you about.” Eros was turning to go on his way when he listened again.
“Eros, you are our alpha leader and must protect your pack, especially Gin, who has served you faithfully for so many years. You know that the council of wolves won’t allow them to hurt our people. Gin deserves to be defended by her alpha from strange wolves from other regions,” Lamia said angrily, letting out a big sigh before continuing. Please talk to the queen, she will listen to you, as the alpha of alphas, she must fulfill your wishes. Besides, the queen has no right to interfere with the fate of our wolves, it’s up to you to define Gin’s punishment.
Eros flew into a rage. He wanted to kill that she-wolf right there, since he had seen her with Gin from afar before he tried to attack his daughter. He let out a sigh to calm his emotions and said:
“The queen has every right to these lands because I have given it to her. This time I’m not going to be swayed by the advice of the wolves. I will talk to them soon and make it clear to them that Queen Danna has every right to do whatever she wants in our land. With a menacing look, he continued. Lamia, if you want to stay alive, I advise you not to go near Queen Danna or the princess. I don’t want to argue with you anymore, I’m busy.
“Yes, handsome Alpha, tell her that my mother is a good queen and that she should stop saying bad things about her,” interjected Eos, who at that moment came down the stairs and had heard Eros’ last words.
“How rude this little girl is, meddling in other people’s conversations. Eros, is this how you want to leave our lands in the hands of a queen who does not know how to educate her daughter? Lamia growled with a look of contempt at the girl.
Gina was blushing. The girl ran down the stairs and didn’t have time to grab her to get her out of the argument. In a muffled voice, he said.
“Forgive me, Alpha Eros. The girl was faster than I was, and I couldn’t stop this inconvenience.
Eros was amazed at how brazen that she-wolf was. She still didn’t understand that she saw Lamia when she met her, because of the council of wolves he put her in the mansion, at that time she only thought about her people and because she was the granddaughter of Alpha Fabrizio, she thought that it could be beneficial for her dynasty. Eros wanted to yell at him at that moment, but seeing his daughter’s tender little face looking at him calmed him down. He understood that he could no longer argue in front of her. Calmly, he said:
“Measure your words, Lamia, in front of the princess. This conversation is pointless. Leave for your own good and leave us alone. That’s an order.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Lamia, furious at the sight of Eros’ grim gesture, turned her back on them and went out in search of the council of elders. She was determined to convince the old alphas to expel that omega from the southern region. She couldn’t let that simple omega stay with what she had always dreamed of.
“Handsome Alpha, this she-wolf is very rude. Why do you live here? I don’t want to see her,” the girl pouted.
Hercules jumped for joy when he saw those eyes shining like the blue sky, which restored his hope. Eros crouched down with a smile and tenderly voiced expressed.
“Princess, don’t run down the stairs because you can fall, I’ll feel sad if you hurt yourself.”
“Handsome Alpha, I’m running through the countryside where I live and I haven’t fallen,” Eos showed him a manipulative smile. “Handsome Alpha, you’re going with me to see your mansion, you have beautiful places, I want to meet you with you.” Say yes… Please… I won’t take up much of your time.
Eros’ heart leaped for joy, that mischievous smile soothing his sadness, with a joyful smile that lit up his face he responded.
“My little princess.” For you, I have all the time in the world. Come on, I’ll show you the most beautiful places here.” He turned his head to Gina, who showed concern on her face. Gina, I’ll take care of the princess. Don’t worry about Danna. If he asks you about the girl, tell him that he meets the alpha, I will take responsibility for what may come up,” he added as he took the girl’s hand and walked softly out of the mansion.
Eos was happy because the handsome alpha always pleased her, didn’t refuse what she wanted, and didn’t scold her like her mommy.
Danna felt rage boil in her blood as she watched the scene from a corner. Everything she feared was happening: her daughter showed great affection and attachment to her father, and at that moment she could not intervene for the child’s well-being. His rambunctious thoughts were interrupted by Maya.
“Danna, don’t bother with Eros because his daughter is looking for him. We can’t deny that there’s a blood bond between them, my friend. Let that wolf meet our princess. I know it hurts that they’re together, but fate is bringing them together, and he, like his father, wants to spoil and care for his puppy.
“Maya, it hurts me to see that happiness in Eros’ eyes when he’s with my puppy. I think of the suffering I went through alone when I held her in my arms. He betrayed us and now when he meets her, he only receives love from my princess.” He raised his hands to wipe away tears that began to roll down his cheeks. He gave a deep sigh to calm his emotions. You know, I get the impression that my daughter knows that he’s her father, that’s why she’s reaching out to him and she’s enjoying it. He took a long sigh to continue. We’d better visit Gin in the dungeon.
“Danna, you need to calm down. The goddess Selene wanted our princess to come closer to her father. She is not to blame for the conflict that exists between you. We’d better give the traitorous Gin his lesson. She took her friend’s hand, and together they walked to the dungeons.
