He was indifferent to who might have witnessed it, implying that any nurse in the hospital could have entered to check on her, observed it, and exited the room without his awareness. He had not even acknowledged Mason’s presence in the room. The sole individual before whom he ought not to be kissing her.
Lydia was expected to discover the information eventually. What actions could he take regarding that situation? He could, he presumed, command anyone who witnessed it to remain silent, but did he genuinely desire to do so?
Hudson snorted at him, “no.”
No, he was also unwilling to go to that extent. If she discovers the truth, then it is inevitable; I hope it does not damage her friendship with Daisy.
He exited the bathroom and gazed directly at her. “It would be prudent for you to return to your father,” he advised her.
“What?”Her eyes widened in astonishment as she gazed at him.
“I apologise, Lydia, but I no longer wish to proceed with this.” He gestured towards the room, “anymore.”
She rose. You are angry with me. “For cohabiting with another Alpha,” she retorted, sounding exasperated.
“No, I’m not,” he replied, shaking his head. “It didn’t bother me at all that you engaged with both an Alpha and a Beta simultaneously.” He clarified, indicating his comprehension of her consent to both of them at once. “That is the issue.”
Lydia approached him. “I do not wish to return, Caelan.”
He scowled at her. “What is the reason for not proceeding?” It is your pack.
I do not. I will not. May I remain here, please?She grasped his arm and shook her head. “Do not return me to that place.”
Caelan was now frowning directly at her. It appeared she was imploring him, as if she genuinely wished to avoid returning. “What is the issue?” What is the reason for this? Your family is present.
“I implore you, Caelan, to retain my presence here.” Allow my father to believe we remain unchanged. At some point, I will assume the role of your Luna.
“You will not become the Luna,” he reiterated, conveying information she was already aware of.
“I am aware that.. Caelan, please. “Do not return me to that location,” he discerned in her tone. She was apprehensive; she genuinely wished to avoid returning, fearful of doing so. deactivated.
“What is the reason?”He enquired.
My father… She will arrange for my marriage if I return, and I am opposed to that… If I remain here with you…” she paused.
“Has he selected a partner for you?”Caelan was genuinely inquisitive regarding that matter.
She nodded at him, “It is incorrect, Caelan.” “I do not desire him,” she asserted, shaking her head. “He feels the same, please, Caelan,” she murmured, tears shimmering in her eyes.
He exhaled, “Very well, you may remain here under one stipulation.”
“Anything, Caelan.” She nodded at him, appearing relieved.
You begin the active search for your Mate. Each mating ball we organise or attend. You are required to attend. her.
“Except for my father’s, agreed,” she affirmed.
She was reluctant to return home, as something was amiss there. He contemplated whether this was the rationale for her having entered his bed and subsequently departed with him. She accompanied him for her own motives, which he had never enquired about, a fact he now recognised he should have.
“You may occupy this room; I shall procure another,” he stated. She merely nodded at him as Caelan departed to dress. As he was exiting the room, she called out to express her gratitude for his hospitality. He could discern that she was sincere. I was appreciative of him. He merely nodded at her and exited the room.
It is advisable to ascertain the circumstances occurring within her father’s pack, matters of which he was unaware, despite their longstanding alliance spanning several years. However, there was undoubtedly an issue present. This likely explains her decision to remain here instead of going home with them.
The man was displeased by her unequivocal refusal to depart, yet she remained before the pack-house, asserting her dissent with a shake of her head. Caelan, along with his entire Alpha Unit, observed the argument. However, he had refrained from intervening; he was on the verge of doing so when Alex’s hand made contact with him.
“Allow her to remain,” he severed the mental connection. He had evidently discerned something that Caelan had not, employing his Gamma ability, presumably to assess the situation.
Caelan had merely permitted her; he was not as callous as he portrayed himself to be. Upon grasping his arm and positioning herself beside him, she informed her father that Caelan bore no resentment towards her and conveyed that Caelan had permitted her to remain; he nodded in acquiescence.
The man had fixed his gaze upon him. He appeared incensed, yet he required the alliance with Caelan’s pack more than Caelan required their support. He had departed abruptly and entered his vehicle to drive away. Her brother remained silent, displaying an unprecedented impassivity. He had been pleased to see his sister upon his arrival, but now he would not acknowledge her at all. As if he were unable to tolerate her presence.
However, the future Beta appeared exceedingly relieved; he was the last to enter the car, indicating that something was undoubtedly amiss over there. He observed the future Beta gaze directly at Lydia, incline his head slightly, and smile at her. Appeared to take pride in her for confronting her father. Such was the impression that Caelan had formed.
