Chapter 13-The Past ( continued…)
” Wait, wait. Not from this side. You need to take the back entrance . From behind the bushes! ”
Sherizad was so worried when Ryan was about to leap inside her Pack territory with her in his arms, that she almost slipped from his grip.
” Okay. Okay! Take it easy girl! Why can’t we go inside like normal people? ”
He asked her, looking at her bleeding wound. Concern oozing through his hard external appearance.
” Because I am not normal. ”
She was fighting to act coy but was obviously hurting. ” I mean I did not go out of the pack with permission. We are not allowed to roam alone at night before we get our mates or our markings. ”
That must have been a difficult confession for someone as proud as her. In Fact the starting point of the conflict between Ryan and Hazal was his pointing out the same thing. Her ego was greatly damaged when he too had pointed out her solo night venture and how dangerous it was.
Her confession was a golden opportunity for Ryan to tease her again.
” Oh! ” On the contrary, he just pretended to not hear anything, for her pride’s sake and leapt around the corner, to head over to the back side, as soon as possible.
” Oh my freaking goodness! What happened to you, Sherizad? ”
It was her best friend Midnight, who was camping there, waiting for her return.
” This way please, ” She asked Ryan to bring Sherizad inside her tent.
As Ryan laid her down, Midnight ripped Sherizad’s dress open.
” Did you get into another fight! Gosh, woman! How many times do I need to remind you that you are a lady, not a rowdy country boy. You need to stop scarring your body all over. None of the Alphas will fall for a woman with more blotches than ornaments. ”
Ryan stood at a corner, silently watching the drama unfold in front of him.
Midnight finally spared him a glace.
” Who is this one? Where did you get another pet?”
She was busy dressing Sherizad’s wound.
” Ahem! ” Sherizad chuckled. ” You might be wrong after all my dear Midnight. With your weak nose, you might not be able to tell but this time i did not return empty handed. ”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
She lowered her voice and leaned forward to whisper into Midnight’s ear, ” That one is an Alpha my dear. A fine specimen, isn’t he. Someone might be interested in my wounds after all darling. Not everyone likes helpless damsels in distress. ”
Ryan could not help but chuckle. But he did so by turning around so the girls would not see him. His super sharp ears did catch their entire conversation without any added effort.
No sooner had Midnight finished dressing Sherazad up, her tent was infiltrated with their Pack guards.
All of them went directly for Ryan, trying to pin him down on the ground.
He easily threw them here and there but he was careful enough not to severely hurt them.
Being the Alpha of his own Pack, he knew why they were there.
The Watcher of their Pack must have picked up his scent. And his entering their territory through the back end must have fed their suspicion.
They had definitely taken him as an imminent threat.
” Stop it! Stop it! I order you to stop you morons! ”
Sherizad’s yell sent the soldiers to attention.
They turned towards her and bowed.
” We are here to capture this infiltrator, princess! ”
Their head reported to her before turning to Ryan again.
” Did you all leave your heads back at my father’s tent? Does he look like an infiltrator? Is he running? ”
She lifted up her dress to show them her wound.
” See this, ”
At which all of them closed their eyes together.
” He brought me back because I was wounded. Do you even have any idea about what’s going on? Do you even have any idea about the monsters circling our perimeter? Gosh! How can you guys be so annoying? Now go back. Tell my father what I just said. ”
The head of the guards bowed again,
” I am sorry princess but I am afraid I cannot do that. We have been strictly ordered to not return without the infiltrator, ummm, sorry, I mean your ! ”
Ryan burst out laughing, seeing the head guard stammer and shake in fear. Sherizad surely held authority and it was clear that she was also feared.
” Alright. Alright! I will go. Lead the way. I guess I do owe your father an explanation. Besides, it would be better to talk to him about the beasts we encountered. If not settled at this time, it might become a headache for us too in the future.
Take care princess. It was a pleasure meeting you!”
Ryan nodded at Sherizad and left with the rest of the guards.
” What? ”
Sherizad asked Midnight who was almost drooling over Ryan after his departure.
” You have a good choice. He looked delicious. Ahhhh! My virgin self. How hot would it be to have him at night in my bed. ” Her body was moving in a masturbation which was totally imaginary.
” Shut up you whore! Get a grip! You should be the one looking for a mate instead of lecturing me about my business. ”
Midnight fell dramatically over Sherizad and pretended to blink her eyes. It did make Sherizad laugh.
” But I don’t understand one thing. Why do you need to go see him in secret in the middle of the night? Just go ask your dad, and he will fix your marriage! ”
” You little… ”
Midnight knew she had pressed the wrong button. She ducked as Sherizad showered her with whatever her hands landed on. She emptied the content of the entire shelf on her friend.
