Chapter 296

296 The Alpha Was Keeping One Last Secret

Once the Infinite Eclipse Pack gave its consent, Katreena Swifttalon used it to persuade all other packs into giving their consent.

Naturally, none of them believed that Ronan Silverback was very keen on forgiving Lucrethia Woodland. That’s why one phone call after another came flooding, all of them were asking basically the same thing: “Did Alpha Ronan really agree to release Lucrethia Woodland’s body to her daughters?”

Of all the Alphas, Kinnon was the only one who correctly guessed that Lucien was the one who coaxed his mate into the generous act of mercy.

“Lucien is too kind for his own good,” Kinnon said.

Ronan had to agree. He told Lucien about it, but Lucien merely shook his head with a smile.

“There is no need to hold a grudge against a dead person.”

Annalynne, on the other side, felt that it was necessary to hold a grudge. She made a call to her brother first thing in the morning after she gave her consent.

“Lucien, you are too kind,” the twin sister criticized. “If I were you, I would suggest cutting her into pieces and feeding them to wild dogs.”

Lucien shook his head in reproach.

.....

“Anna, such words are unbefitting of an Alpha.”

Unexpectedly, Annalynne had a comeback response.

“Are you telling your Alpha how to talk now?”

Lucien narrowed his eyes at the laptop screen in front of him.

“... Really, Anna? Are you pulling ranks on me now?”

The woman on the other end of the line broke into a giggle.

“No, of course not! But Lulu, didn’t I sound cool??? I am starting to love the Alpha lingo! As the first and only female Alpha currently, I need to assert myself! Be my own woman! Confidence is the key to success!”

Lucien rubbed at his forehead and sighed. What was his silly sister spouting so early in the morning?

“Anna, have you been listening to motivational podcasts or reading uplifting motivational quotes?”

Annalynne cleared her throat.

“Ahem. Yes?”

“... Go read from ‘Virtues Of An Alpha’ and ‘How To Rule A Pack Wisely’ when you have so much time in your hand.”

“But... But...”

“No buts. I am sending you a copy of each right now.”

Lucien finished his purchase before ordering those two books for his sister. Once he was done, he stepped into the bedroom to take a look at Ronan.

Just what was taking him so long to get ready?

Ronan was on the phone, fully invested in what sounded like a business call.

“How much longer do I have to wait?”

“Has all the preparation been done?”

“Wonderful, when can I go down to take a look?”

“No, no, that is not necessary, not for now.”

Lucien knocked slightly at the door to make his presence known.

Ronan turned around and smiled at him.

‘Come here,’ he said through Mind Link, gesturing for Lucien to come nearer.

The red-blonde man looked handsome in his three-piece suit. It perfectly highlighted Lucien’s provocative contours and slender legs. The man emanated an undefinable aura of authority. Ronan wanted to kiss the sole of Lucien’s feet and worship him. At the same time, Ronan also reveled in wild fantasy, in which he got to rip the formal clothes off Lucien and make him moan lasciviously as he took Ronan’s cock inside.

“That’s all,” Ronan ended the call, his mouth dry from longing and desire.

His focus scattered into thin air as soon as he caught sight of Lucien anyway.

Ronan slipped a naughty hand into Lucien’s shirt. He hummed in delight when he ran his fingers across Lucien’s beautiful muscles.

“Stop that,” Lucien smacked his mate’s hand. “We have to go now, otherwise we will never go.”

“Oh, Lulu...”

Ronan’s voice was husky from intense lust.

“I would love to make love to you right now. You look so good.”

The Alpha grabbed his mate by the back of his neck and buried his nose into his collarbone.

“And you smell so heavenly.”

Ronan sighed.

Lucien gave him another smack.

“Stop that right now. Your parents are waiting for us to have breakfast together.”

“...”

The words “your parents” or “your mother and father” had been extraordinarily effective in killing Ronan’s erection these days.

By the look of it, Lucien made use of this newly gained power too freely. Almost as if he enjoyed it.

“Come now,” Lucien whispered with an alluring voice as he leaned against Ronan’s chest and flashed the man his most seductive smile.

“When we get back, you can do anything that you want to me.”

Ronan swallowed hard.

“Anything?”

“Anything,” Lucien winked at him.

“Don’t eat your words later,” Ronan crooned.

The Alpha lowered his head and captured his Luna’s lips in one fell swoop.

“Mmm...”

Ronan tilted Lucien’s head backward, exposing his fair neck to the former’s hungry eyes. As he peppered Lucien’s neck with kiss marks, his other hand wandered from Lucien’s chest down to his waist and settled on the fleshy mound that he so loved to squeeze.

“Mmm... Ahh...”

Lucien closed his eyes and moaned from pleasure.

Ronan’s touch was scorchingly hot. Lucien got goosebumps when he felt the man’s adventurous hand around his body, separated only by a few layers of clothing.

“We should go,” Ronan cleared his throat. “Otherwise, we have to cancel. I don’t think that I can control myself any longer.”

Lucien laughed.

“Are you not tired of it already?”

“Tired? Never.”

Ronan gave Lucien a peck on the lips.

“I will never stop wanting to sleep with you.”

Lucien shook his head at the hopeless Alpha.

“In a way, I guess it is a blessing that we don’t have children. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain their father’s lustful behavior.”

Speaking about children...

Ronan’s face turned red in an instant.

He was itching to tell Lucien, but he also wanted it to be a surprise.

The Alpha bit into his lip full of indignation.

No, he should not spoil it.

Ronan put an arm around his mate’s waist and smiled.

“Shall we?”

“We shall,” Lucien nodded.

After delaying their marriage for what felt like eons of time, they were finally going to report their marriage intention to the Werewolf Council.

This time, no one and nothing was going to stop them.
