“Exhibited profound sincerity.” I intended to bring her in, integrate her into my pack, inform you of my suspicions, and allow you to proceed appropriately; nevertheless, certain circumstances do not unfold as anticipated.” I observed the man shake his head. “I assert that your sister acted independently.”
“She complied, and I subsequently de-ranked her for that.” To the pinnacle of warrior status.
“A reasonably effective punishment; how did she respond?””
“Wept uncontrollably.”
“Consequently effective.” He acknowledged.
“I concur,” Luke said, “although Bella remains angry with her, seeking retribution once she has given birth to that pup, as I have heard.”
“There is little I can do regarding that.” Philip shrugged.
“Wolves engage in combat; I shall remain.”
Until your human acquires her wolf, Clara, Clark, and I shall return home. I am confident that young Bella will acclimatise and find contentment here. Although it may need some time, it will ultimately occur. She once loved you and will do so again. Her wolf exhibits great happiness.
“I am aware,” Luke grinned. “So is mine.”
“Maintain that stance.” Philip said, “I have a single request.”
“Inquire.”
“Allow her to conclude her human existence as she requires.” I perceive it as a sensitive issue. Failure to do so may pose a significant issue; I believe it might determine the success or failure of your Bond.
Luke exhaled, “She intends to proceed without my involvement.”
I comprehend her desires. She should be let to act independently, as she has spent a considerable duration of her life without a pack Alpha dictating her actions.
The responsibility lies entirely with you. Her disobedience, by allowing her to disengage from her human existence on her own terms, will significantly demonstrate your love and confidence in her, your concern for her feelings and desires, and your respect for her choices, perhaps mitigating her defiance.
“It is challenging; my adversaries may still be present.”
“Ultimately, that responsibility lies with you, young man. You ought to have just entered her workplace or residence and knocked on her door, rather than attending a news conference and exposing the girl to the entirety of the wolfen society; it was very unwise of you.
“My representation.”
I disregard your portrayal of the human world, Luke; you might have managed all necessary matters without exposing your relationship or the children to public scrutiny. Your actions were foolish and exceedingly selfish; they just instilled further terror in her. Fear that you would come and remove the children from her. It is one of the reasons she consistently declined your advances.
Luke saw Maddis becoming increasingly perturbed by Alpha Philip’s remarks, although both acknowledged his correctness and refrained from disputing him.
He only shook his head, acknowledging, “In hindsight.” He concurred.
“You must learn to contemplate before articulating, son, in the future.” I will be seeing and monitoring her often; there is something unusual about her.
Her hostility is really high at times. Clark noted that.
Luke nodded and sighed deeply. “It is,” he affirmed. “She has a condition; she is perpetually over-adrenalized.” He conveyed this to him, as he was a council member who appeared to truly care for Bella.
“Allow me to present our knowledge.” I have informed her of my knowledge; she is cognisant and possesses her own apprehensions on the matter.
“Understood.” Alpha Philip acknowledged, but he was now glaring profoundly at Bella.
Her stroll with Philip was not only irritating but also uncomfortable due to the chilly weather and her aversion to walking through the snow. She responded to all his enquiries and confronted his Gamma on many occasions, disliking his attempts to scrutinise her. She preferred to conceal her emotions.
They were reprimanded by Tyler on many occasions. Whenever Philip spoke something that offended Luke or Maddis, Tyler expressed his displeasure and made it known. Tyler advanced many times only to scowl at him. Repeatedly sent her aura at him.
He tilted his head at her, appearing unconcerned about her wolf’s demeanour about his enquiries; yet, he instructed Tyler to relax and allow Bellay to respond independently. His presence was to ensure her happiness, rather than that of Tyler. Tyler also expressed her discontent, growling at him with hostility, before retreating to explore Bella’s thoughts.
She only shrugged at him and at her wolf’s reaction, prompting Alpha Philip to shake his head. He enquired extensively about her former life in the city, her journey to this location, and her sentiments towards her current presence within the pack. Whether she felt apprehensive about being here or desired to be here. Did she desire to return to the city? With each inquiry, his Gamma fixed his gaze upon her; she saw she could not evade his perceptive scrutiny.
She disclosed the truth: she had not desired to come here, was unaware that Luke was her mate, resented being deceived by Abbey into this visit, intended to confront Abbey upon the birth of her pup, and was also dissatisfied with her parents regarding their role in her arrival here.
