Your grandmother seemingly died prior to your mother’s death. One reason you went unnoticed.
Her gaze shifted directly to his. “Overlooked?”She directed an eye roll towards him.
“I apologise, Brianna, but they have elucidated a considerable amount to me.” I believe it is essential for you to hear it. I comprehend that your mother’s pendant is the reason for your lack of scent. It is a mystical amulet that all Dieng individuals don upon the emergence of their wolves at the age of sixteen.
I observed her frown directly at him, allowing the moment to resonate, as she subsequently retrieved it from beneath her blouse, examined it, and scrutinised it from various angles.
“Do not remove it,” he instructed her, perceiving her contemplation of doing so, which elicited a raised eyebrow from her. “I am likely to attempt to mate with you if you do.” That is what your Elder asserts. Brianna, you are not devoid of scent; in fact, you are quite alluring to every unmated male, both within and outside this pack.
“I do not comprehend.” She appeared exceedingly perplexed.
“Annabella, your Elder and great-grandmother, informed me that your species of wolf, Dieng’s, perpetually emits an odour indicative of estrus.”
She observed her eyes widen as they immediately fixed on his; she comprehended the implication instantly. “What?””
The pendant conceals your scent, preserving your life. <text”I often envision that you cannot remove it, Brianna,” he sighed softly. “It is perilous for you not to wear it.” Observed her for a full minute before witnessing her head turn abruptly to gaze out the window. His gaze shifted towards it as well. He observed Nolan, Stella, and Logan approaching the playground, smiling at the sight of Logan receiving a piggy-back ride from Nolan, and noted the boy’s laughter and conversation with both Nolan and Stella.
However, he was aware of Brianna’s thoughts. “He will be well, Brianna, only after Rowan fully manifests, as I comprehend, and then…” he sighed.
“He will resemble me. I possess only one pendant; I… I do not.” I could already discern the apprehension in her voice.
Annabella possesses a ring for him to don. She brought it with her; Nathan had already informed her about Rowan.
“I do not wish for him to remain unseen.” She rose from the bed and approached the window. “Never.”
“He will not be.” Ryder assured her as he rose and approached to stand beside her. “I will prevent that from occurring; now that I comprehend, we can ensure it does not happen.” It is imperative to retain Rowan within Logan for as extended a duration as feasible, as this would be optimal.
“I am aware of that.” He is merely seven years old. I have been attempting to keep Rowan within him since Nathan Avery issued threats against us in Whistler.
Whistler? It must have been the location of their ski trip. Ryder exhaled, “He approached this matter incorrectly, Brianna.” I informed him accordingly; I was exceedingly irritated with him regarding the matter.
She stood observing their son in the park with Stella and Nolan, now silent.
“He shares a strong connection with Nolan,” Ryder acknowledged.
Brianna remarked, “I observe that.”
“I desire to establish that kind of connection with him.”
“It is not my decision.”
Ryder exhaled, “Brianna, I believe there is another matter,” as he placed his hands on her shoulders and turned her to face him. She did not resist; however, he received a glare, likely indicating her unpreparedness for physical contact with him. “You three resemble a small band of rogues.”
“What?”She appeared perplexed once more.
“One, Alpha.” Luna and I believe that Stella, also referred to as Fade, serves as the Beta of your pack. Although it may seem peculiar, it is indeed feasible. Rogues occasionally form groups and establish a hierarchy.
“I am not a Luna.”
Ryder directed a smile towards her. “Indeed, you are.” You are my divine and gifted mate, Brianna. I have asserted ownership over you. However, you also gave birth to an Alpha pup. That also designates you as a Luna.
She scowled at him once more. “No, it does not.” Anyone can bear an Alpha’s offspring, but that does not confer the title of Luna.
He could not effectively contest that perspective: “You, Brianna, are a Luna.” “My Luna,” he gently expressed, having long desired to articulate that sentiment.
Observed her avert her gaze from him and glance out the window again, uncertain whether she was unwilling to acknowledge his words or simply unprepared to do so.
“What prompted your altercation with Stella?”Disregarded his assertion entirely.
“Stella provokes Aiden into a complete Alpha rage.” I attempted to restrain him, but ultimately failed. Stella conveyed the information to both of us, essentially. She would never permit us to approach you or come close to it.” He refrained from using Stella’s exact words. Aiden perceived it as if she intended to dissuade you from allowing us the opportunity to be with you. Nolan rescued her, but Aiden…” he exhaled.
“became resolute in his pursuit of you and then furiously sought to assert his ownership, undeterred by your unconscious state, despite the efforts of others to impede him.” I apologise for the manner in which it occurred, Brianna. However, I do not regret that it occurred.
Observed her pivot and gaze directly at him with an arched eyebrow. “What is the reason for her isolation?”“
Ryder now frowned at her; she had just dismissed his assertion of possession once more, choosing to overlook it for the time being. He would prefer to respond to her enquiries. Her willingness to engage in conversation with him marked a positive beginning. He would have to utilise the resources at his disposal.
