Established a mental connection with the man, ‘Alpha, Sadie informed your father that you have a son with Brianna Dieng.’ Ryder was aware of this; the insufferable girl had failed to remain silent. He had explicitly instructed her not to disclose any information regarding the boy to their father, yet she had proceeded to do so. He enquired solely because a reduced number of individuals aware would diminish the likelihood of disclosure and enhance their safety.
“Yes, it appears to be the case,” he conceded.
Your father is significantly troubled by the circumstances surrounding this matter.”
“Oh, is he indeed!” You must be referencing the Hot Moon Pack agreement that my father deemed unworthy of revealing to me. Concerning the Dieng women, I will discuss this matter with him upon my return home. “Considering it is my life at stake,” he uttered harshly. Indeed, I was exceedingly irate regarding that matter.
We require information regarding the conception of the child Ryder. It may indeed initiate a conflict, and the Hot Moon Pack is significantly larger than ours.’ He could distinctly perceive the apprehension in the former Gamma’s tone.
He was acutely cognisant of the substantial size of the Hot Moon Pack, nearly thrice that of his own, and recognised that they would not prevail in a conflict against them, nor would they come remotely close to achieving victory.
“She occupied my bed one night upon my return home.” He shrugged; it was the veracity. What can I express? A bare female wolf in my bed.
Did she provide consent?He was asked immediately.
“Did not decline,” Ryder responded. “Did request, if I remember accurately, implored me not to cease at one juncture and expressed a desire for all of me.” Consequently, she received my entirety. Although I was unaware of her identity at that moment, he could only assume that Thomas had been apprised of all the particulars by his father, which explained their current conversation. I perceived her merely as a she-wolf eager for her Alpha’s attention.
Thomas sighed heavily, expressing his hope that she conveys this to her kin from her mother’s pack; otherwise, Ryder…
I comprehend the implications. Alpha Nathan has already informed me of his intentions and indicated that he would prioritise her account over mine. It would have been exceedingly beneficial if my father had presented me with that agreement.
I might have recognised her identity.
Based on my comprehension, that is improbable, Ryder. Indeed, he ought to have informed you; we are all displeased with that. Although he held a belief…
“I am indifferent to his beliefs or thoughts,” Ryder interjected abruptly. I am the current Alpha in command and have been for an extended period. My life is at stake, not his any longer. I believe such formalities should be addressed prior to the actual transition of leadership. Affirmative?he grumbled.
He observed the man nodding in agreement, acknowledging that it was the correct procedure. All alliance agreements involving the reigning Alpha must be formally transferred to the succeeding Alpha, ensuring that the new leader is fully aware of the obligations and responsibilities he inherits. Specifically, his head in this instance.
Thus, if his actions or those of his pack could be interpreted as an act of war against another pack, or provoke another Alpha to challenge him to a death duel, he would be informed and could ensure compliance with established regulations to avert such occurrences.
His father had been negligent in his responsibilities; despite believing that Brianna had been retrieved by her maternal relatives and returned to the Hot Moon Pack, the agreement with them remained valid and binding.
An intense confrontation between Alphas was anticipated upon his return to the pack after retrieving Brianna and his son, and he was uncertain how he would persuade her to accompany him. He could apologise, but he was entirely uncertain if it would be effective or if she would even value it at this juncture.
The boy, nonetheless, possessed every right to assert and demand his return to the pack. He was not secure in that environment as a rogue; however, Ryder was reluctant to exploit the boy, to manipulate his own son in such a manner. If he did, he would be regarded by Brianna no more favourably than Alpha Nathan. At this juncture, it was a final recourse; I genuinely desired to engage in a dialogue with her to explore the possibility of resolution.
Although their previous encounter had not ended favourably, Sadie remained by his side as he insisted she acquire the gown she desired. Henceforth, her mother could accompany her on shopping excursions. Her father’s unit could accompany her for protection instead of his.
