They finally reached into some sort of truce.
Lion reminded him that he is not giving him permission to have intercourse with me.
Sly agreed, saying that it would only be up to my decision.
What the.
I'm not polygamous for goodness sake and I'm definitely NOT planning to make a harem (reverse harem according to the novels).
Lion glared at him before embracing me tightly.
It hurts but I'm not complaining though.
And that is how Sly ended up being the beta.
....
I cleared my throat and told everyone what happened to me when I took the magic stone. I apologized to them, telling them that I don't understand what the voice from the magic stone is saying. Also, I mentioned to them about the magic circle that I saw and that it is the cause of why they can't use any magic.
Lion asked me with a suspicious grin, if it's safe to use magic now that we have the magic stone.
I nodded before realizing what he is about to do.
It didn't take us long to get out of the mountain as Sly transformed into his dragon self while Lion's eyes seemed glowing with rage as lightning sparks started to appear on his hand.
They fought for quite some time while the others were nonchalantly preparing to go back to the inn.
Everyone is quite helpful to me as they gave me some of their coats that somehow I had to wear each one just to avoid any conflict. I'm sweating profusely as they gave me some sort of mysterious smile.
That Sly.
....
Ghost started to protest when Lion made him drive the sleigh. When he saw Lion's eyes and Sly's bruises, he became obedient.
Orm and Alpha sat on the front besides Ghost while Lion, Sly and I sat at the back. Lion made me sit on his lap while embracing me in which Sly doesn't seemed to mind. Instead, he kept grinning and glancing at his ankle from time to time.
Lion noticed him glancing at his ankle that he began to bite me on the neck.
Heaven have mercy upon me.
....
I suddenly felt sleepy and slowly closed my eyes. I realized that I haven't slept for so long. I can hear Lion telling Ghost to stop the sleigh.
Ghost immediately stopped the sleigh, causing Orm to fall off the sleigh from the movement in which he started to fight with Ghost, starting a brawl between them.
Lion reluctantly handed me to Sly, who embraced me with glee, as he tried to make a temporary shelter for us using his magic.
Alpha, tired of the brawl between Orm and Ghost, transformed to his Lycan form and tried to stop them but only made things worse.
I AM SO TIRED.
I can't sleep as everything sounds chaotic and I'm feeling hot even though we are in a cold environment since I'm wearing several layers of coats that everyone helpfully gave to me.
I am exhausted and starving. I want to bathe too as I feel sticky and dirty.
My frustration grew as Sly, who is supposed to be the beta, ignored the brawling morons and spent his time embracing me.
I really don't want anyone embracing me right now.
Out of frustration and exhaustion, I felt tears fell down on my cheeks while I sniffled.
Everyone became silent when they heard me.
That was effective even though I didn't do it intentionally.
....
Finally, Lion is done creating our temporary shelter and went back to the sleigh to get me when he saw my tears and heard my sniffles.
He silently took me from Sly and carried me gently inside the shelter. It looked like some sort of a Mongolian yurt but bigger.
The walls were covered in thick curtains and some curtains acted as dividers to give us several rooms for privacy though it won't be sound proof as I took note of that just in case.
Lion brought me inside a certain room, in which there is a wooden bathtub filled with water.
He placed me gently on the floor as he slowly took off my clothes. I looked into his eyes and embraced him. He laughed and told me that he is going to take care of something first before joining me.
I somehow felt heated even though I'm exhausted.
He held my face as he kissed me passionately and was about to take off his clothes when we heard sounds of intense fighting from outside the tent.
Wanting revenge because of what happened earlier, I tried to sulk and acted like he wasn't there. I turned my back on him as I went inside the bathtub.
I can hear Lion hurriedly went outside and to my satisfaction, hear screams from the pack.
I giggled as I enjoyed the warm water when I felt my eyes about to close.
Ha. Lion is not going to like this.
I gave a huge yawn and finally, I fell asleep.
....
I woke up with a start, panting hard as I had a nightmare in which I cannot remember. Lion opened his eyes and hurriedly embraced me as he tried to comfort me.
He asked me what I dreamed about in which I told him that I don't remember anything about the dream.
He thought for awhile before telling me that if I can remember, even if it is only a tiny bit, to tell him.
I nodded as I snuggled closer to him.
I'm hoping against hope that this won't be another premonition of some sorts. I had enough of bad luck.
I want to go places to have fun, not having to fight for my life.
Lion must have read my thoughts when he told me that he wants to spend time with me in a nice place when we get back.
Ooohhh.
A date.
He then nuzzled my neck as he went back to sleep.
I couldn't go back to sleep since I've been thinking of what sorts of clothes I'm going to wear on our date.
I was thinking of some designs when I felt someone is watching me.
I closed my eyes immediately as I snuggled closer to Lion.
I don't want to know whoever is watching me.
I tried to distract myself into thinking all sorts of designs and thankfully, the presence went away.
I don't think that someone from the pack noticed. Sly is snoring loudly as he is sleeping near us. I can also hear Ghost talking in his sleep. I don't think it was Orm since you always can hear him move. Also I don't think it is Alpha since he is sleeping near the entrance, also he doesn't usually make trouble.
I definitely don't want to know.
